Quesch. Love Supreme is a production of My Heart

0:02

Radio. Hey

0:05

guys, just want to shoot you with a quick disclaimer.

0:07

Hey, so our fifth anniversary

0:09

episode, the audio quality not

0:12

the tip top best. However, we

0:14

wanted to make sure that all the folks that didn't

0:16

get a chance to join us for it live get

0:18

a chance to hear all of

0:20

the shenanigans and good times that

0:22

we had with our listeners. So

0:26

enjoy and happy fifth anniversary

0:28

to you too. Thank you. Yeah

0:39

yeah, how y'all doing? Uh

0:41

yeah, my panser on fire right now.

0:43

I'm just staging up the room,

0:45

you know, because uh you

0:48

know, hey mine

0:50

as well. Um,

0:52

I gotta say that I'm

0:56

kind of happy about this moment. I think when

0:58

you're having fun. Um,

1:02

not to sound like a cliche, but time really does fly.

1:05

Um And I was told that,

1:07

you know, when you're having fun and

1:09

time is passed, Uh, you gotta

1:11

be doing something right. Here we are at

1:14

our fifth anniversary and

1:16

still in my mind it feels like many of you this

1:18

is our second or maybe

1:21

third anniversary or quests Love Supreme, But we've

1:23

been on for five years, five crazy years.

1:25

Um. Just to give you guys some background, of course, you're

1:27

all die hard, so I don't even think I need to explain

1:30

to you what this is. But um,

1:33

you know, just in case you were latecomers, you know,

1:35

doing the pandemic of a lot of people discovered

1:38

us um and a lot of our old episodes.

1:41

UM. The QX actually came

1:43

up when

1:45

I was like knee deep in my

1:47

tenure teaching at uh

1:49

n y U. I talked there for like five

1:52

years. UM. Shout out to all my students,

1:54

uh that made it that are now I'm making

1:56

more money than I am. Uh

2:00

uh. But you know, even though

2:02

I was having a ball playing professor over there, you

2:04

know, my management's like, okay, you only got twenty

2:07

five students a year, like you could be hitting millions

2:10

with the same lessons that you're teaching now. So I was like

2:12

okay. So at the time, like my standard

2:15

for what I liked in a radio show was a

2:17

show called, um, the Gordon Gartrell

2:19

Show, and that was hosted by c

2:21

Alyss Zone uh set out the Boss

2:23

Bill and uh fan Tikolo um.

2:26

So instantly, you know, I asked those guys to come

2:28

around and then, UM,

2:31

you know Sugar Steve, who's

2:33

been like my longtime Uh,

2:36

engineer from

2:38

the days of voodoo and phrenology and Mama's

2:40

Gun and all the common records and all

2:42

that stuff. He and I was like talked

2:45

about us hosting our imaginary

2:47

radio shows back in the day. I know, I'm gonna hurry

2:49

up with the introductions because I can tell like it's going to be an

2:51

hour, and then like, let me get to the guys. Um.

2:54

And not to mention unpaid Bill,

2:56

who you know I just befriended that

2:58

year, uh working on this off

3:01

Broadway play called Hamilton's I don't

3:03

know if you guys ever heard of it. Um,

3:06

but we became cool, and he was our

3:08

first guest on the show, and he was so cool

3:10

that he actually wound up to joining the team.

3:12

That's how much fun that show was. Um.

3:15

But yeah, let me let me bring them in one by

3:17

one. UM. Let us start

3:19

right now, right now, in case you're wondering, I'm in

3:22

Uh, I'm in the glam room

3:25

of the Tonight Show. Um.

3:27

How meta is it that we can see all

3:29

of me back there through those mirrors. Um.

3:32

You see Tariq's Pirates booty

3:35

snacks right there and next to the alcohol.

3:38

So yeah, food and alcohol,

3:40

right there anyway, Um,

3:42

let us bring in Let's

3:45

bring in Steve first. Uh, sick

3:47

to Steve? Do we have a steam ready?

4:02

Uh? Words

4:04

of wisdom. Believe I'm on the stage with

4:07

you right now. You're on stage with

4:09

me right now, Steve, Steve, we's the dream of this man.

4:12

We did we talked that. Uh, we

4:14

did talk about it a lot. And you

4:16

know, the thing is about you

4:19

and what And once I started working

4:22

with you, I kind of adopted

4:24

is this this strange sense of like fuck

4:28

everything. You know, we're gonna do

4:30

this stuff and we're gonna do it

4:32

over and over again for like the Tonight's show

4:35

for years and and and

4:37

and when you started the podcast, Um,

4:40

I didn't. I didn't know. I didn't

4:43

have any preconceptions about whether it was gonna last

4:45

or not either way, but

4:47

I just kind of knew if you're associated with it,

4:49

it's just one of those things where it's like you plug away

4:51

every day. You just keep working, like, um,

4:55

I guess, like a workaholic. And

4:57

then it's five years later, and then it's five

4:59

years later and it's successful,

5:01

and uh, I'm sure

5:03

you get as much positive feedback as I

5:05

do about the show or you're you're I feel

5:08

like you're the real heart of the show, Steve, because

5:10

you're actually an active contact

5:13

with I mean, they're now the Sugar

5:16

Rights. I almost of

5:18

the people that are here almost guarantee that of

5:21

them are probably from your your

5:23

Sugar network, right, but

5:25

we do not Nobody calls we're

5:28

not Sugar Rights. Nobody said that's not a

5:30

word. But you

5:34

didn't hate Bill already. But

5:38

we were talking before the show about that.

5:40

And it's a real thing. Uh. QLs

5:43

is five years old. The Sugar Network is three

5:45

and a half years old. So we're

5:47

right behind you. And it's sort of a mini

5:50

version of this. It's just music nerds talking

5:52

about music and life. Yeah, and it's

5:54

the real heart of the show. It's the real heart of the show.

5:57

Let's let's let's bring some other people want

6:00

well, I'll ask you who who? Well,

6:02

I'll ask you when we're all together, Um,

6:05

who should we bring next with us? Should we bringing

6:07

up Fontio? You're

6:09

asking me, Yeah, it's your show

6:11

as well,

6:17

so actually

6:20

should the Sherman's head. Here's

6:23

me Red

6:26

red Wine. Okay, So the

6:28

reason why we have to use Jimmy

6:30

Ligand's drunk for Fontikos. I

6:33

think I know why Frante comes alive

6:35

always during the Christmas episodes, which

6:37

is always probably our our most humorous

6:40

ones. But we gotta make a custom, you

6:43

know, a customed theme for Fontigolo,

6:45

because Frante makes all the themes for everyone

6:48

else. You know, hey, man,

6:50

it's you know, it's I just try to do what I can just to

6:52

make the ship hot man, make it you know, exciting.

6:55

And you know when I was asked to come on this, I'm

6:57

is always gonna way just to make it dope and just ways

6:59

that I can add value and you know, just take the

7:01

ship to the next level. So it's been

7:03

it's been a blast. Man. Like if if Steve

7:06

is the spirit of the show, you're definitely

7:08

the most down to earth, grounded in reality

7:11

stage of the show. You you always come

7:13

with I'm almost

7:15

extempted to say that you're the reason why Unpaid

7:19

Bill wanted to join this podcast, not

7:21

because not to elevate his

7:23

brand or anything like, he just wanted to get

7:25

more like advice. He

7:28

just wanted to be your your what's what's

7:30

the Latin? Or to skip you like, he wanted to be your students.

7:32

So oh my God, No man,

7:35

me and Bill we formed a beautiful friendship and

7:37

brotherhood. Oh this and and all of us have you

7:39

know what I mean. You know, I was you

7:41

know, I was looking at um you know that

7:44

Michael Kay Williams. Um, yeah,

7:46

a post. It was a post he had made a while back. You know, he

7:48

passed yesterday, and uh he was made

7:50

a post about the cast

7:53

of Lovecraft Country and he's just talking about

7:55

how they really got him through like some really hard

7:58

times. You know what I'm saying, Just that cast having

8:00

them around and um, you know, and being on this show man

8:02

for the past five years, y'all have all really become

8:05

just like an extended part of my family. And you know

8:07

we've all been there just for each

8:09

other, just in various times of just you know,

8:12

personal stuff, you know, business stuff like all

8:14

that. And so, no, man, I did

8:16

not expect this ride to last five years. When

8:18

I decided to come on. That

8:21

was the last thing with my mom. Yeah,

8:24

that ship went by like that. But I'm

8:26

just so happy. You know, you guys have been a welcome

8:28

addition into our family. And uh, I

8:30

love all you guys. Man. I just think y'all for listening. Let's

8:32

just keep having fun. Let's bring some more.

8:35

Wait alright, so can someone just surprised

8:37

me with who the next uh host

8:41

it is gonna be? Yo?

9:06

I I've recently

9:09

just rediscovered where that came

9:11

from. Uh. We learned all

9:15

those facts about you during the uh

9:18

what's the what's her name? She lived in

9:20

Francis from Africa and France played on their records.

9:24

Yes, I believe that we learned your

9:26

entire family history on the Angelie Kids

9:28

because you knew a little bit too much about Africa

9:31

for our teast. My brand is very

9:33

open book. I didn't I didn't even know

9:35

about my African Beninian

9:37

roots before you You're

9:40

just dropping all this African knowledge and we were

9:42

just like, yeah, it's over there. Yeah.

9:48

Uh, that's where we learned your stepmother is

9:50

Jamaican. My stepmother Pat isn't

9:52

the Jamaican that does not have that

9:54

doesn't make him Jamaican, honestly,

9:57

it makes that makes him

9:59

very random. This

10:02

is the fact that he dropped all that knowledge,

10:04

like would that's definitely like our second or

10:06

third year into the show, Like, yeah,

10:10

I was thinking about anything I've

10:12

done for five years, and there's very few

10:14

things I've ever done for five years, and uh,

10:17

as Quests said in the intro, uh I

10:19

really muppets for more than five years. I

10:22

did. That's the only other thing. I

10:26

haven't done anything for five years. I was the first

10:28

guest. And I have no business being

10:30

here whatsoever business

10:33

being here? Man here, and and here we are five

10:35

years later. I can't I can't believe it. I

10:37

wish you all could hear the the actual

10:39

pilot episode, because very

10:42

revealing about um, well

10:44

nothing actually, but it's very fun to listen

10:46

to, and it's really actually I

10:49

think the pilot episode,

10:51

the unheard pilot episode, would probably

10:54

offer a lot of insight on

10:56

the now Broadway sensation Freestyle

11:00

Supreme. Yes, not

11:02

to be confused with the quest Love Supreme. All

11:05

the time, we're I guess you know you guys,

11:07

and we're just fans of the John

11:10

Coltrane. The state their

11:13

law firm trying to check

11:15

the mixture that we're not infringing.

11:18

But yeah, we we learned a lot about

11:20

that. All right, let's let's bring light in because it's our yes

11:24

hit. Then I

11:30

love the short sweet and

11:34

then here I couldn't hear. I couldn't hear

11:36

anything. Can we hear it? Again, hit it again.

11:38

Hey, on the on the back side of it is

11:41

there is that? That's Mom's

11:44

mad, that's my halo,

11:46

that's the operation somewhere

11:52

on my phone. No, well, actually

11:55

no, she's in the movie as well.

11:57

But you know, I didn't know a

12:00

bands for her because I'm a big fan of moms. Mabely

12:02

well, yes, there's plenty of unused

12:05

moms mainly why

12:08

yeah, I have to say with with this episode

12:10

and the Lenny Kravitz episode, you

12:15

nicely Yeah, I'm

12:19

saying, yeahs,

12:23

y'all. That's because usually

12:25

I got my scarf in my hand and I don't give a

12:28

fuck. But I'm

12:30

talking to more people than you guys today. I

12:32

don't even unders is that a thundercat joke. I

12:34

don't get that, h It's just anyway.

12:38

Um, I

12:41

think we're all like a schedule or like

12:43

first to follow, Like I think the show is over

12:45

already. I think they do a little

12:47

small talk. We

12:50

rarely do anniversary brothers.

12:52

I missed a small talk because I don't even know if Fonte

12:55

is finished, like remodeling his home or

12:57

any of those things, like, actually,

12:59

have we finished? We've done pretty much? Damn

13:01

there everything I think Um, it may be something

13:03

on the exterior we did, but we did windows

13:06

this year. So look at that sensible paint color

13:08

behind it. Okay, when you when you get

13:10

your when you get your crib and

13:12

you go through all the phases of what you're gonna do to

13:15

the house, Like, are you officially done

13:17

all the phases for the most

13:19

far? Yeah, I mean you know, we did it. We did it all.

13:21

I mean we've been in this house since like twenty sixteen, so we

13:23

did it all over period of time. Yes, stay,

13:25

yeah, because the thing is you have to live in the

13:27

house first to kind of see. I'm learning

13:30

it. I'm learning right now.

13:32

Don't just go in just see

13:36

I was. I told Grace

13:38

that, yo, I want I want

13:40

it complete and done, and

13:44

then every household every wait,

13:48

I'm not even trying to all this.

13:50

This is the first major humble brag of

13:53

of situation. So

13:57

this is the first one. So Scar

14:00

Scar Joe is one of my neighbors. Hey,

14:04

yeah, I gotta call it by a nickname, not

14:06

14:09

right, exactly what I really say. Karlen

14:11

Joleston lives next to me, right

14:14

right, just by chance of no,

14:17

But when I told her what the plan was like.

14:20

She said, ah, sweetie,

14:22

14:26

14:28

14:36

I was like, I'll stay. Yes, She's

14:39

She's correct, Joe know

14:41

her ship. We got we got a lot.

14:44

We got a lot to do. So can

14:46

I interrupted rabbit holes to remind the people that we

14:48

14:50

on the side tab and folks might be able

14:52

15:51

you want to if you want to know why said,

15:54

I'm definitely taking money at the crab stable

15:56

with this shirt. That's

16:00

good. David's

16:03

good enough. Hey, by the way, because as something for the

16:05

five year anniversary between a Mirror and

16:07

Fante, how much weight have y'all lost since the beginning

16:09

of this show? Who put

16:12

up that silky photo? Like twelve times?

16:14

Man? Now you can have before? Like

16:17

I was nine pounds. I was

16:19

that big pandemic

16:24

yo itself. We

16:26

had a pandemic. I couldn't go out

16:28

into the world. I told you, girlfriend,

16:31

that won't let me panic snack. You

16:36

take your salads like seaweed

16:40

right now. That's what I'm doing the tally so

16:42

far, I'm down like I'm down, Like it sounds

16:45

like thirty eight. You know what I'm saying? Eight

16:47

yeah, you know what I mean, you stop

16:50

eating? Nah, bro, I just thought

16:52

it walking and I just ate that still

16:54

eat what I want quote unquote, but I just eat

16:56

far less and I just uh don't eat

16:59

after dinner whenever time we have dinner. That's

17:01

why a lot of times will be on I'll

17:03

be trying to eat, you know what I'm saying. So I can just go ahead

17:05

and get my meal out of the way because I don't want to wait after

17:07

we finish and eat late. So um,

17:09

so are the time Yeah,

17:11

so I just have to get it in and that

17:14

be it. And um yeah, that's all I did for about the

17:16

past year. And I'm down like close to forty

17:18

so far. So I'm just working man, but I'm cheek

17:21

bones. So for y'all, you know, I mean,

17:23

I'm seeing a lot of names out now and here we

17:27

all look really good. Let's just leave it a time,

17:30

not real because yeah

17:36

yeah, yeah, everybody's in different relationships when

17:38

they started this show too, so that's a good thing. Oh yeah,

17:46

all right, yeah that's the rabbit

17:48

hole. Um.

17:53

One of my one of my favorite shows uh

17:56

the past year is Ted Lasso. Yes,

18:00

indeed, a former

18:06

guest of Quest left supreme. Yes, we

18:09

definitely got now that we're right,

18:15

But I will say that the fact that

18:17

they have what do you

18:19

call it, uh, sort of a team of people

18:21

to help with relationship advice,

18:24

I kind of think that. And that said

18:27

the dogs, you have the Diamond Dogs, and

18:29

we definitely need to beg more into Steve

18:31

situation. I'm just laughing because whoever

18:34

I know that, whoever put together this show, I had no idea

18:37

how much we like to talk. No, no, it's

18:39

funny because see now is your turn.

18:41

When we talk about the trivial questions and what's over

18:43

there and the box, well, I wanna

18:46

I want to get to the part where we interact with

18:48

our audience. We are, but we're got to

18:50

do that, right, didn't. I don't

18:53

know what's going on? Just

18:56

want to give away a fucking T shirt or dag

18:59

going chets give him one right now? This

19:02

show is going to be eight hours long, see you all,

19:05

But seriously, can we can we just remind people

19:07

that to check the trivia is going on and what

19:09

the questions because you might have from yeah,

19:12

where is it? I

19:16

see all your comments. By the way, I'm just not acknowledging

19:18

you all, but happy to see you showing damn it.

19:20

And maybe

19:24

no, don't don't want to talk?

19:27

Can we talk about these uh unreleased

19:30

episodes? Yeah? Like

19:32

what are the most what's the most that?

19:34

What most people would want to hear about is

19:36

these unreleased episodes? You know, like,

19:39

well, first of all, I mere if I can ask you a question,

19:42

how do you decide who you

19:45

want to have on question of supreme?

19:48

Um? I just go on my telephone and

19:50

literally humble,

19:53

Brad. You

19:55

know, every guest that I pulled to the show is someone

19:57

I just called him, begged and begged and begged them

20:00

big and big. Well that's not okay? Can

20:02

we come everyone that I I

20:04

said everyone that that's

20:07

how you started. But we

20:09

didn't have to make We don't have to always make calls.

20:11

I wanted to humble, not, Well,

20:14

you didn't even let me get to the point where we start

20:16

picking up you and Brittany for all of your fine

20:18

work and let you want some

20:20

flowers and not. I

20:23

wasn't. Yeah, all

20:25

right, so let's take this back. So

20:31

anyway, as I was saying, you know, I

20:34

would just go down my phone and and and

20:36

call. But I will say that I'm so relieved

20:40

that in the last two to three years that

20:42

it's been way less of that. And

20:45

really, you know, Brittany, Benjamin and

20:48

Ya have truly worked

20:50

in magic and also our team at I

20:52

Heart Radio has definitely used their muscle

20:54

to help, you know, get

20:57

guests on the after that Mr

20:59

Lovell. So sometimes people just call

21:01

us like can we be on Lome?

21:03

We got a lot of old now oh

21:07

yeah, yeah, thank

21:10

because you all of you completely misunderstood

21:13

my actual question. What

21:17

what type of interview are you trying to get?

21:19

Like, what what what are you looking for in a guest

21:22

that you think will really make

21:24

for an interesting episode of Quest of Supreme. Well,

21:27

it's weird now, Um. I

21:31

see, to me, there's two awesome

21:34

shows. There's either the show that pulls out

21:37

stories and humorous stories

21:40

um that we weren't expecting, like, for

21:42

instance, the two Short episode.

21:46

Um, you know the fact

21:48

that Too Short kind of had to admit

21:50

to the world that he is actually feel huxtable,

21:54

you know, and still you

21:56

still won't perform in front of his mom right

21:58

exactly. So

22:01

this is the fact that we learned those stories. And then

22:04

sometimes it's just the the

22:07

the straight up nerd informative

22:09

story like, wait, who who do we just do that? Just

22:11

uh you know Pat Massa,

22:16

Yeah, Pat MASTHENI episode just

22:19

chalk full of just

22:21

information less on the that

22:24

one time I got Russia, you know, like that

22:27

sort of thing. But Tony just said, Matthew

22:29

knows. Episode was like jewels. It was

22:32

Oh, well that I take that out all together.

22:34

That was I call that episode conversations

22:37

with Dad. Oh I

22:39

love we got Lisa Ada Leaves, Pat Bootsy Colly

22:41

Boots. Was was crazy.

22:44

Yeah, speaking of unreleased, there's

22:46

the where's the Chappelle interview? There's a lot

22:48

of good questions coming up. Yeah,

22:51

the unreleased episode. So what are we talking

22:53

about? Is that people straight on exactly

22:55

what is unreleased? I know that we have not unfurled

22:58

the the the Unpaid

23:01

bill pilot, which

23:03

we should probably do. Eode

23:07

Chapelle are in the same category of

23:10

material. I feel like that's where my brand belongs.

23:13

Did you dropped the photos that we can prove

23:15

that it did happen? Continue

23:18

a story? Yeah, and then we did

23:20

um, we did a guard I'll

23:23

say Chappelle was like four hours, right,

23:26

I was having a Chappelle was four

23:28

hours and humorous

23:30

as hell. I

23:33

think he got

23:35

a little too afraid

23:37

that he was so comfortable in talking, because

23:40

you know, that could have been the Christmas episode

23:42

because there was a lot of alcohol poring

23:44

yeah without

23:47

saying do you remember do you remember what he talked

23:50

about? For like the last half an hour? He had like a concept

23:52

of Star Wars. Yeah, the

23:55

boat, the chef, the boat. Let's not say the

23:58

rest. But I forget,

24:00

I forget what what we we

24:03

go? Yeah,

24:08

he wanted us to all get take a cruise

24:10

back to half. He wanted all of the people

24:12

from the Black Party to get on the cruise

24:14

ship and go back to the right.

24:16

Yeah, he didn't can remove that photo now,

24:19

Adam, we want

24:22

to his farm. But yeah,

24:25

so yeah, and then, uh, we couldn't

24:27

release that episode because he kept it a little too real.

24:32

We tried, though, We tried, so we

24:34

tried for a year. Yeah.

24:37

And then there's the I'm actually

24:39

cool with holding the Quincy episode on ice.

24:42

Oh yeah, Adam, he dropped that photo too. Yeah.

24:45

We did a very curious Quartsy episode

24:47

where I think that, uh, his

24:51

feet were definitely a guest

24:53

of the show as well. Yeah, but we could have edited

24:55

that out. That's okay, that

24:58

hand on your leg right there. So what was

25:00

in question? So what

25:03

I happened people was that this is a period when

25:05

Quincy was doing a couple of interviews and y'all know Quincys

25:08

of a certain age, and he was just saying everything that

25:10

was coming to us head and so what what

25:12

had happened is that Mirror thought we were going

25:14

to be saved by inviting Rashida

25:16

to come sit in on the interview so we could be I

25:19

but she got the days confused. But we

25:21

just left. We had Quincy house and so we

25:23

got the best story. Rashida

25:29

uh personally called me and asked

25:31

me not to hear the episode. I'm like, in light

25:33

of all these other Quincy episodes coming out,

25:35

right, I think that's what it was. I think that's what

25:38

did it because he can't because remember ours came

25:40

out what we shot with take hours.

25:42

But then I want to say, like a week or two

25:44

afterwards, that was when like I think the GQ interview

25:47

drop right, Yeah,

25:52

do you like resil your music? Yeah? It was he

25:54

just when he just went full Quincy. And I think that's

25:56

what made his team like, you know what, we just let's

25:58

just get him out. I mean, but

26:02

in light of what has uh

26:05

been in those interviews, I still feel

26:07

like ours was rather tame.

26:10

It was, and

26:12

we've been in the house, y'all on his couch.

26:15

And let's

26:17

not forget the botched Daylas

26:20

Soul interview. I

26:25

think Daylight has a record for

26:28

bots because I think they did the wind

26:30

Up Steam podcast and that got botched, and they

26:32

did another I think they did a spit Kickers,

26:34

the one that also got botched, so they why

26:37

did arts get touched? Um?

26:39

I think because we never got pot It

26:42

was just we Yeah, we were we were like a three or

26:44

our format back then they only had like

26:47

an hour of the team together roots

26:51

rehearsal room, and so we got to

26:53

like so was dead. Like guys,

26:57

guys, I

27:00

mean we should still air what we have. I mean,

27:03

why not. What's the difference.

27:06

Well, when

27:08

we did weird Ship, we wrote it. We we did a

27:10

song with them, we said some ship and they let's

27:12

chop it up. Yeah yeah,

27:15

we actually posted Yeah,

27:17

I actually you know. But

27:19

that also uh for

27:22

me, I prefer doing

27:25

one on one or one one five

27:29

interviews than group I don't like interviewing

27:31

group interviews because I feel like there's a lot

27:34

more you get more closed when

27:36

it's more like when it's

27:39

more people in a in a project, which is why

27:41

I'm shocked at the smallest episode

27:43

came off funny, but that

27:45

was more about us playing a game together. Most

27:48

least likely like episode of all times

27:52

which episode because

27:55

it was just two many niggers. Listen,

28:01

man, Yeah that was that was a lot of light

28:03

skinning energy in one moment. Yeah,

28:11

that was the least favorite episode. Man,

28:13

listen and listen. All up

28:15

to the smile Lett stating of doing the show, they were beautiful,

28:17

but yeah, that was just too much going on and they all

28:19

personalities and a quiet one in a bunny not

28:22

except for Jojo shot my nigga, Jojo. Jojo

28:24

was cool like the old nigga like me.

28:27

He was chilling Me and him get along.

28:29

But j

28:34

you are definitely loud. Those

28:36

for those that don't know, the things that Fonte

28:39

doesn't particularly like are loud,

28:42

light skin people, and uh when people

28:44

when people rap at him. Like

28:47

if if you ever see Fonte on the street

28:49

when people and your rapper and

28:52

you want to impress Fonte, rule number

28:54

one, don't don't give

28:56

Fonte your best verse, Like, get

28:59

him some coffee, but whatever, don't

29:02

wrap your best verse at Fante.

29:05

You will not like it. That's not the time,

29:07

That's not was

29:09

the example, Bill, When was the example? What episode

29:11

was the example? Root

29:14

ticnic? Like four years ago? It

29:16

was a weird time in my life. But we're not talking

29:18

about me. But we were interviewing like thirty

29:20

people that day and somebody I'm not even

29:22

gonna name names started rapping in

29:24

Fonte I met. The energy completely changed

29:27

in the room, Fante

29:29

like because

29:32

you were you were, you were

29:34

d'angelong and and in Fantage

29:38

was having a heart attack on stage, as you do.

29:40

And Fante shranking himself and the

29:42

room got cold and I need to put on a coat. It

29:45

was bad. It was bad. It was bad.

29:47

It was life lessing. Anybody listening, Yeah,

29:53

And I mean because in the verse was though, I mean

29:55

the MC don't it was all up. I'm

29:58

not I'm not from put

30:01

your excuses away, guy who hates

30:03

that ship, that's

30:05

not Wait,

30:08

can someone at least okay letten listen. Can

30:10

someone at least in the chat room let me know who

30:13

wrapped for him, because I would

30:16

put it in it

30:21

was, oh, not the right

30:23

thing? Is

30:26

this from where I live? Yes,

30:28

yes, okay, yeah,

30:32

whoever just put it there, put it there. Ye,

30:38

listen, It's just it's just everything has

30:40

a certain Okay,

30:42

yeah, I'm sorry, I'm here. Sorry,

30:45

you still haven't answered my question. How do you choose

30:47

the motherfucker's that come on the podcast? Uh?

30:50

At this rate they say yes, Now,

30:55

I've had a few knows. Um, I

30:58

just think if it makes sense to

31:01

don't get it to us. Yeah, well that's what I'm saying.

31:03

There's been a few knows and like for me, it's either

31:05

like if I feel as though they have

31:08

a story, I would like to all

31:10

say exactly. So this ye,

31:12

this year, I'm really about getting out of

31:14

my comfort zone. So I

31:17

think I think I have a fear No, not the flowers

31:19

thing. I think I do

31:22

have a fear of talking

31:25

to anyone who's craft

31:27

starts after the year two thousand. Wow.

31:31

Um yeah, well

31:34

I was about to say so the only like

31:37

millennial gen Z artists I think we've ever

31:40

had was ty Dollas signed. So you

31:42

know, I would like the interview coming up.

31:46

Wait, what happened little Yachta interview

31:48

coming up? That

31:54

was a little oh that's just

31:56

a little from that little Yeah,

32:02

but should be here. So the

32:05

thing is is that I don't want to. I don't want

32:07

to not seem knowledgeable of

32:10

the guests where they come. Like obviously, if like

32:13

Last Night comes on, then I know everything but the

32:15

kitchen sing about glass Night where

32:17

it has I might not know the right

32:20

rabbit hole questions to ask a

32:23

little yahti or whatever. So you

32:26

know, I think that I think

32:28

that could make for an instant int of you. Though. I remember Dannie

32:30

Simpson, we had him on it. He was just saying how he

32:33

would have people on and he wouldn't really know

32:36

much about him, but he would just ask the

32:38

question, you know, if he want

32:40

to interview some rappers that wrap after wrapt

32:44

him, just don't wrap at me, wrap,

32:48

don't. I

32:51

don't want, I think. So

32:53

it's just oh wait, wait, wait

32:56

now, now I gotta ask without So

32:58

you're saying that you just I ambushed with the verse

33:01

without being asked. I

33:03

was totally I'm prepared for this man.

33:07

I was not. I was not ready. Bro, this man just

33:09

started listening.

33:13

Yes, yes, yes, it was just that. And

33:15

I'm not gonna say no more about because I mean, that's my

33:17

brother, love him. You know, any super talent, But

33:19

yeah, it was just very I might, bro, what do

33:22

I do with this right now? We're taking this?

33:27

Yeah, it felt like yo, you know what

33:29

it felt. I'm gonna say, Okay, I'm gon put like this. Don't

33:32

understand, bro, they did We didn't

33:34

do that twenty ship when it was coming up. Listen, Okay,

33:37

this is what it's like. I'm my brothers understand this. Do

33:39

you know that moment We're like if you're

33:41

in the barber share and your barber

33:44

is shaping up your goatee accidentally

33:46

looking to his eyes. I

33:53

like having somebody

33:55

wrapped to you just know

34:01

you're right shone,

34:09

damn fonte, perfect technology,

34:12

Damn you know something though,

34:15

Okay, this is I I

34:18

actually learned. Okay, in

34:21

my I was trying to explain to somebody

34:24

how it's easy to

34:27

someone. Someone's trying to ask me when I told

34:29

the story about my first drumming gig, and they were like, were

34:31

you scared going on the stage with your dad? Dada da da?

34:34

And I was trying to explain that it's easier

34:36

to perform in front of like thousands

34:39

of people, because that's really impersonal

34:42

than it is like given a concert for

34:44

the four of you in this room,

34:46

like that's too intimate, And

34:50

you know, I was explaining that I wish

34:52

that my level because Okay, the one

34:54

thing that I'm known for that I actually

34:56

don't like doing. I

34:59

don't like jam sessions the

35:02

worst. And I know, I

35:06

know that's where that I know that's the bread

35:08

and butter of the roots brand, the jam sessions.

35:11

But I mean for other reasons like I only being

35:13

the bad guy. I don't want to be the guy that's like, yo,

35:15

dog, we got enough already, or like cut his

35:17

solos down by twelve bars

35:20

and and learning to like I

35:22

hate that part of it. But then there's

35:24

there's another level, like Kirk lives for, like

35:27

meeting a guy that plays guitar and hey, let's have

35:29

a damn session real quick, And that's

35:31

that's too intimate, yo, That's like yeah,

35:35

and I wish I was, you know, because people think

35:37

that the the the image

35:40

I give off on the internet. I live and breathe

35:42

and dive music and da da da da. But

35:44

yeah, that like the amount of times where like cats

35:46

want to discuss like you know, the type of would

35:50

that my drums are made of. You

35:52

know, how how many flams do I be

35:54

at night? And yeah, that's like, yeah,

36:03

I love our listeners because they know us so well that

36:05

somebody literally just said who was this that said

36:07

this should have been a trivia question? How

36:10

does a mirror? That's question? Love hate doing jam

36:12

sessions because that's how much you have to have that. So

36:15

then he said a question, can

36:17

we just go into these trivia questions and get the start?

36:20

You gotta say it so we can get it started so people can win

36:22

ship. So let's get it started. You're

36:25

now the voice that God like because I don't know

36:27

the format of the child Child the

36:30

trivia game is the giving Steve, you

36:33

are supposed to be our trivia holes you want to get

36:35

let us know the questions or you want me to

36:37

do no, I'll do it. I

36:39

just don't know where where the questions

36:41

are. We'll go to trivia and then in

36:43

your email, but I will begive these

36:46

questions because it

36:48

is Yeah, I just

36:50

want to say it before the before the trivia

36:53

parts starts. Hold on that I didn't question

36:56

started. Who was the first quls?

37:00

It's okay. I just wanted to say

37:02

that we've done two hundred and thirty shows that's

37:05

without the unreleased shows. I think that's amazing,

37:08

Yes, very much. Meanwhile,

37:10

folks are answering this first question and the answer

37:12

time is right still ask answered

37:17

No, I'm not going to answer it because you're gonna get the

37:19

win We're gonna do the winners. It's Bill. I'm sorry to answer this, all

37:23

right? Who's the first? Who

37:26

was the first? Official? Who? These

37:28

are all good answers. Is that Tiffany had

37:30

Is is it Lynn? Manuel, Miranda the Day Chappelle?

37:32

Is it Maya Rudolph? Who is it? It

37:37

doesn't have to be multiple choice like they should just

37:39

know this anyway when

37:43

you can't because

37:46

you got to do it quickly to get more points.

37:49

And the answer was answer

38:00

these questions, all right? Who's missed most the number

38:02

of recordings? It's not me. I probably

38:04

have missed the most. Apposed to tell them the

38:06

answer, you apples to let them. You know, first

38:08

of all, my name is not even on there, so whatever

38:11

I get paid, it's not even

38:13

real. I know that you think

38:16

the answer is, but the answer is not what you think

38:18

The answer is. The answer is quest love. He's

38:20

been at every show, so yeah,

38:23

but that's mine is not an option Actually,

38:26

he's not true because I was not a guest

38:28

on the set show with them

38:30

taking ambush all

38:35

right, almost

38:38

got winners? Which two hosts are almost

38:40

e got winners? It's also wait,

38:42

actually it's which two hosts are yeah,

38:45

almost almost. That's implying

38:48

that it's going that there's an inevitability to

43:05

all goddamn day long. It's just like wax

43:10

poetic about anything all the time.

43:13

Go oh and also, Fonte,

43:15

update us on who has passed away? That's literally

43:17

what I

43:19

was thinking of passed away. Can we just have a shot out to

43:21

some of the quls guests that we've had on this show that

43:24

had passed away since we had him on the show, Like that's

43:26

crazy, like prodigy, like

43:28

43:34

is this man.

43:36

I'm I'm glad we got them. I'm glad

43:38

43:41

I it was happening because

43:46

I wasn't prepared for that energy. None

43:49

44:14

thousand's whatever. Mutual fans of each other

just be talking ship whatever. It was not

44:24

sucking that bro. Listen. He

44:27

was mad about a feature that I did like

44:30

years ago, and for a project

44:32

he did, and apparently he still had smoke

44:34

for me for that. So I met his smoke

44:37

with the appropriate smoke detexts. And don't

44:41

forget about the break break. I

44:45

missed that, fonte. I was so stuck

44:48

on the break you off you want? I totally

44:50

missed. Wait, he had smoked for you?

44:53

Yeah, Yeah, he was mad about a feature I didn't.

44:55

He wanted me to do a feature for him, like it was a cigar

44:58

factory whatever. Smoke he he

45:00

was Yea, it was backcraft.

45:02

He didn't like my engineering either, dude,

45:06

45:08

when I asked the man don't you think

45:10

it's time to go to therapy? Because I see y'all talking in the

45:13

that ship was uncut gems the podcast.

45:30

Quick, wait, since we're going

45:32

there. Wait,

45:35

since we're going there. I would also

45:38

like to challenge the story of

45:40

how Jill Scott found

45:42

out about you got me? I'm

45:44

sorry? Yeah,

45:47

yeah, safe in Tennessee, somewhere

45:49

away from this conversation. Uh

45:52

No, I know for a fact

45:54

that we kind of have that free

45:56

conversation of the label

45:58

wants us to go with a name thing like

46:02

her hearing the song like in the

46:05

beauty shop thing without motherfucker's telling Like,

46:07

you can't do that legally, like you have the

46:09

clear and sign off beforehand,

46:12

So you available revisionists

46:15

in history for

46:19

good radio. So it did it? Did it?

46:21

Did? Um? Can we get to some folks I want to talk

46:23

to us, like Candice? Absolutely, because

46:26

Candice out of question. Candice

46:28

come up on the screen instigating

46:32

the fight. Well, y'all stop at damn

46:35

it fight.

46:39

No, I'm not in the okay,

46:42

by the way, Ricky, uh not He'll gave you

46:44

a footman side. That's right. You'll always remind you with Adam

46:46

mirror was this together a wee could go? She was like,

46:49

remember when I gave you that footment side, like

46:51

when we were in Tennessee. I take

46:56

it, you

47:00

know right

47:02

to see you all on uh you

47:05

know, listening, but to see you all here, and

47:08

um, sugar Steve, you you messed me up because

47:10

you asked all my questions, uh,

47:15

because I'm sure we didn't answer it well.

47:17

And then I had a great question which which

47:20

was which was the most awkward

47:23

interview you've done? And then Fontigelow

47:26

talks about the music, don't talk? We got more

47:28

was more, there was some

47:30

more, okay, so that's

47:35

just go there. Let's go there. Faith

47:37

was kind of faith. It was kind of awkward. That

47:40

was three

47:43

hour days and was just

47:46

it was slow and it was obviously that she wasn't

47:48

going to the way that Faith and I talked

47:51

off, you know, off

47:53

off the clock. It was way different than

47:55

what she was giving, you know. So that was the first time that we

47:58

realized that, oh maybe in our won't

48:00

be uh right,

48:06

Roy Ayers, there wasn't an awkward one for me, but

48:08

Roy Ayres was hilarious because I think

48:10

that was the first time I really saw a mere kind

48:12

of sweat a little bit. It's

48:15

like the thing is jo It's like, it's it's the it's

48:18

what y'all here? And then there's the group chat, right, So

48:20

we're talking to Royal Ayres and we're asking and he

48:23

was like, so, tell us about some other people

48:25

you work with. He's like, yeah, I did this this

48:28

young boy crazy but piano player,

48:30

piano player. And so we're racking our

48:32

brains naming piano player. Yeah,

48:34

Robert Glasford, Mark, No, no, no, no,

48:37

young motherfucker crazy piano player, piano players

48:40

like Mark carry got

48:42

James, Like were trying to think of anybody

48:45

so that now I'm not crazy, but you can't play a piano

48:47

player, so we can't think about So we say, all right, well

48:49

we'll just come back that later on. So so

48:51

we see this, you just did a collaboration with Tyler the creator,

48:54

that's him. Let

48:58

me tell you got that same bron like

49:02

a mirror said yeah,

49:04

we got an hour and a half. I think were that's

49:11

that's how to create a Royal Air song is the bomb?

49:13

Though we know I

49:17

also realized that sometimes

49:19

um with guests, UM, the

49:22

memory might be selective because either of age

49:25

or what they've

49:27

done in those years that might have erased their

49:29

memory, that sort of thing. So UM,

49:33

I do remember though, the

49:35

first time an artist went there. I'm always on

49:38

the guests. I'm always on I'm always

49:40

on the ql

49:43

S fam about like not being gotcha journalism,

49:46

like making a safe space. But that

49:49

I remember that Johnny gil episode where

49:51

he just started yeah

49:56

yeah, yeah, yeah

50:01

right, that was

50:03

a great episode. And I rounded

50:06

out with the other one that was kind of uncomfortable with, not

50:08

in a funny way. It was uncomfortable when

50:10

Heather Hunter when we asked her when

50:12

she started doing pooring and she's sexual

50:14

assault, and everybody kind of got,

50:17

we all got. That was my

50:19

one big and that was my one result was

50:21

my regret because I was like, man, I wish I would have went

50:23

more into that because she seemed like she wanted to,

50:27

well you, I believe that you wanted

50:29

like the wild create,

50:31

like the sex

50:34

tips and all that stuff. The craziest thing when

50:36

she started with sexual thought, I didn't

50:38

know. I wanted all of her. I wanted all of her sexual

50:43

Oh yeah, when she started off my blood jobs in the road

50:45

call Yeah, that's out right, and

50:47

then yeah,

50:51

thank you question,

50:56

Yeah, we gotta know what we got

50:58

wait, wait we god Donnie.

51:02

Donnie will be second. Donny. It's

51:06

like, right,

51:14

how ya doing something

51:18

now? I'm Donnie from Chicago listener.

51:22

Since y'all Pandora is an amazing filmmaker,

51:25

Donnie is amazing. We're working on something

51:27

right now, Like did you hire

51:29

Donnie to call in and make you look good? Because this

51:31

feel like something you would do. You

51:36

better wrap the fonte right now. So

51:41

eight bars, let's go. I'm

51:43

just kidding good, all good, Thanks,

51:46

thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that.

51:49

Um No, but for you, I've been I've been a fan like

51:51

a lot of people on here since like the pandoraays

51:53

and stuff, so like now that y'allotte

51:55

here has been great, so thank you. My

51:58

question is, sure,

52:00

what makes like QLs so great?

52:02

Is the chemistry a y'all have when y'all with each

52:04

other. But when the pandemic hit and you'll had

52:06

to like kind of pivot to zoom

52:09

whatever y'all use, how did

52:11

that change the interviews?

52:13

Because much of what you guys have is like when you see

52:15

each other. That's what makes the interviews great. But

52:17

now I try to move to zoom that change interviews

52:20

and then is there a plan for LS

52:22

to come back into the same states

52:25

again? Can I

52:27

answer this because I thought

52:29

about this before, and uh

52:32

I can. I honestly think that going

52:34

to zoom as has hurt the interviews.

52:37

Um, there's nothing like being in the same

52:40

room as as somebody who you're interviewing.

52:42

You can't It's like anything else.

52:44

You can't replace that direct energy with

52:47

uh, with the internet. Um.

52:50

That being said, you know, it

52:52

didn't affect it that much, but but just to be

52:54

completely honest, it I

52:57

felt it did you know, UM take

52:59

away a lot of the intimacy

53:02

that makes it that makes a great interview happen.

53:04

But I also I think

53:06

that so here's the trade off. The trade

53:09

off is that, um, we

53:11

got access to a lot of bigger

53:13

names because of zoom options.

53:17

UM definitely. Yeah.

53:20

I was about to say, Mariah, I don't think

53:22

would have happened. You're not getting three hours

53:24

of Mariah carry and an electric lady to the

53:28

camera on you know what I mean exactly?

53:32

So that the interview.

53:35

Yeah, so I'll say that that the the upside

53:37

to our current models

53:40

that we we will have a better chance

53:43

with interviewing artists that we

53:46

that won't you know, we wouldn't have access to, like

53:49

getting them into a particular studio, that sort

53:51

of thing um. I definitely missed

53:53

doing road calls, But

53:56

actually I don't

53:58

miss the panic pressure. Yeah,

54:00

I was about to say, I don't miss the pressure

54:02

because usually, like the

54:05

panic I have with is one

54:08

uh my intro for that artist,

54:10

like making sure that I say something. Especially

54:13

it's harder when it's the person I know, Like

54:16

when Zoe Pravit is on the show, we're like some

54:18

when I'm really close to that, I have to now, you

54:20

know, talk like I'm Don Cornelius, like introducing

54:22

a Hall of Fame actor that sort of thing um.

54:26

And and thinking of a clever role call

54:28

to do or not stepping on someone else's road

54:30

call. So that's the two things. There's

54:33

no there's no or a panic if

54:35

you think about it the day ahead of time

54:38

instead of waiting until the Yeah,

54:41

I'm a creative. It's

54:44

the first one that always has kids ready

54:46

to go everything, question

54:49

questions. You brought the roll call without

54:51

even a question. I love the shawte By

54:54

when she's on beat for her role call fantastic

55:00

hasn't happening? Like too happy and up

55:04

and then like like oh hey you

55:07

beat the song, like

55:10

yes, that's why. That's what amazing

55:20

sky Brink is on us. What's the Amazon?

55:27

Yes, let's hear for better

55:30

great things. Congratulations

55:32

Donnie, thank you so much for real though, Let's

55:39

bring up one more person. Actually, this is gonna be a cold

55:41

57:38

intention style, like yeah yeah,

57:41

off camera, you know, I don't know, like he's

57:43

very secretive and that kind

57:45

of thing. So can I ask a question that keeps on coming up

57:47

on the chat? When are we interviewing

57:49

59:01

Queen Latifa, Oh, Queen Latifa.

59:04

That's been We've been working on that for like four years.

59:07

Yeah, we gotta have that one. We've

59:11

had closegards with Latifa. We

59:14

yeah, so close this year. Well,

59:17

he was gracious enough to let us have the QLs

59:19

handle because she previously owned that handle

59:22

for her and also

59:24

she did not go as far as Mary who nobody

59:26

asked this question. But yes, we got stood up once

59:28

in five years and her name was Mary J.

59:31

Blige. J it was, But

59:34

I wasn't mad because I don't know what it was

59:36

that I had to do that day. But my

59:39

Plan B was definitely better than the Mary

59:41

J. Blige thing, like there's something that

59:43

I had to cancel. And when Mary

59:45

canceled and I did my plan being and wanted up

59:47

being like a game changer, I'm forgetting what the game

59:50

changer was. I remember not being mad

59:52

at Mary J. Blige. I was actually like, shout

59:54

was the Mary J. Blah worked out his

59:56

family. You should know that a mayor, Steve and Bill

59:58

are local and New York and when things

1:00:00

like this happened is yeah, it could be good news. She

1:00:04

showed us up while you after I

1:00:06

was in the hotel. Yeah, yeah,

1:00:13

that was nice. I

1:00:16

would like to let our listeners know that,

1:00:18

um, the dream episode

1:00:20

that I'm really wishing would happen,

1:00:23

that seems like it's when it's close, but

1:00:25

all based on your

1:00:28

eyes, like it should I not say this?

1:00:30

No say it? I want you to say that, so it really can't

1:00:32

They can put the pressure on say it. Well, the

1:00:35

the Janet episode that I wanted,

1:00:37

the Janet episode I want to do is

1:00:41

um my dream

1:00:43

is to do the Jimmy

1:00:46

Jam Terry Lewis Janet Jackson combo

1:00:48

episode in which we

1:00:52

just, oh

1:00:55

my god, y'all. He won't let us have Janet until

1:00:57

Janet Jimmy stand

1:01:00

because because I

1:01:03

think for forty five hours.

1:01:06

No, but I understand how people

1:01:08

operate. And again,

1:01:12

if it's just the six of us, if

1:01:14

it's fixed the six of us, the jim it's

1:01:21

funny because you could interview them

1:01:23

for forty five hours. I

1:01:25

can actually see he's doing that, and he

1:01:27

was exaggerating greatly, but I can actually

1:01:30

see you doing that. But

1:01:32

I feel that almost like

1:01:36

Jimmy Jam has a kind of spirit

1:01:39

that would make Janet feel even more comfortable

1:01:42

because the things I want to know about, like

1:01:44

I think, one on one, I can't ask Janet

1:01:47

about like the token

1:01:50

last three sex songs. She doesn't like how she pushes

1:01:52

the envelope further on the record, But damn

1:01:55

lewis there. Then they could talk

1:01:57

about like because I still want to know, like what's

1:01:59

the important process. That's when it's time for

1:02:02

Janet to have an orgasm on side

1:02:04

too, like question,

1:02:07

but you get my point. Um,

1:02:10

yeah, so I will say that

1:02:13

that would be informative and humorous

1:02:16

to have three perspectives on the Janet

1:02:19

Jackson, uh cannon. Right

1:02:21

now it's out in the world. I'm saying, we

1:02:23

got most of your brothers, I mean needed Jermaine

1:02:25

and Janet. Meanwhile, somebody

1:02:28

just asked about your favorite Latin quarter story.

1:02:30

Oh Adam, you got that song? A

1:02:43

genius? You know he should be somebody if you're the director

1:02:46

of a TV show. Yeah, maybe

1:02:48

so, but I think that song is like so Miley

1:02:50

racists

1:02:53

who don't know. One

1:02:56

time we played it, I was like, wait,

1:02:59

I think you're doing Mexican accent. But

1:03:02

next candis in Puerto Rican in their right you represent

1:03:04

the cigarettes

1:03:08

got real racist made from jams. He

1:03:10

came back like that's what happened a lot

1:03:12

of them. Who

1:03:15

does the cues with me? Speaking

1:03:19

of Prince, I'm seeing Prince stories. Um,

1:03:21

it just hit me that, Um oh,

1:03:25

okay, my favorite Latin story

1:03:28

o't they had the Hunter because she lived in the drawn.

1:03:30

But for the record, all of the Latin quarters

1:03:32

stories and the same way. It's like I

1:03:34

got my ask kicked, and they stole my gold jewelry, like

1:03:37

every one of them is like that's how it ends every

1:03:39

time. It's like I went in there and this song saved

1:03:41

my life. Right, I went outside and

1:03:43

this is something in the limbousine that went back inside.

1:03:45

I got my ask kicked, they stole my starter jacket

1:03:48

and my jewelry, and now I have like a bullet

1:03:50

wound in my side, Like every one of them ended

1:03:52

with that. My favorite who's

1:03:55

the one that told us about about

1:03:59

elegant and dragged all over them?

1:04:04

Or was the jam Master Jay? Whatever it was, it

1:04:06

was like, damn he was not giving up

1:04:08

his chain and got dragged all over the floor while

1:04:11

Rebel without a pause play and

1:04:14

it sounds like search I think that was say and

1:04:16

he chains like I didn't get my

1:04:18

chain took him though, but like his whole shirt was

1:04:20

ripped off so he was shirtless but

1:04:23

still had his chain. That sort of thing.

1:04:25

Um, yeah, like I'll say that that

1:04:29

uh Q tip uh

1:04:36

to say after we did the search episode,

1:04:39

Uh pete hard

1:04:42

and uh to

1:04:44

my my d MS asking for his

1:04:47

uh moment on the chow oh

1:04:51

word in the chat

1:04:53

what's the

1:04:57

chat? By the way time

1:04:59

I blue pineapples. That's

1:05:02

another unaired

1:05:04

episode. Yes, I have two hours

1:05:07

of me talking to Chuck d So.

1:05:10

The way I wanted to handle, yes,

1:05:12

the way I wanted to handle public enemy was

1:05:15

I wanted to speak specifically,

1:05:18

and this is obviously. I did it in two thousand eighteen

1:05:20

thinking that I could cover the thirtieth

1:05:23

anniversary of Nation a million. So my plan

1:05:25

was to talk to Chuck Hank

1:05:28

Keith uh, Eric

1:05:30

Sadler and Harry Allen

1:05:33

and Bill Stephanie until

1:05:36

like some super ten hour interview thing

1:05:38

and then we edited going song

1:05:40

for Song of Nation a millions. So the

1:05:42

only uh one

1:05:45

that I've gotten was Chuck d Uh.

1:05:48

I guess the shock Leys are still

1:05:50

waiting in line or whatever. I think the hardest one will

1:05:52

be is Eric Sadler, but um,

1:05:55

yeah it is. It is my dream too, just

1:05:58

dissect the bomb squad,

1:06:01

but you know, in

1:06:03

their way anyway, Dan

1:06:07

Charlie just said, remember when quest thought I

1:06:09

was black, I mean not white, remembers

1:06:12

they thought it was like skinning. Yeah, I

1:06:14

was like it was pretty obviously I

1:06:21

saw oh yeah, shout out the shout

1:06:23

out in the chat. I saw rem

1:06:26

Siegull. Maybe Segull asked me my favorite

1:06:28

crown. I

1:06:31

enjoy crown peach. I

1:06:33

like the crown and crown apple. Is the apple

1:06:36

a little peach? Oh

1:06:38

my god, do they have a crown apple? But what

1:06:43

are we talking about? I only knew crown as

1:06:45

my dad. I don't know what the crown

1:06:50

apple. Because

1:06:53

y'all know this show this we can go down the hole, rabbit hole.

1:06:55

We didn't even okay, before we go out of here,

1:06:57

we had a whole pole that we was doing. Dan

1:07:00

up here, what dann

1:07:04

n the other white man of hip

1:07:06

hop? Damn, you

1:07:11

1:07:26

I love my favorite thing that

1:07:29

I was just listening to back to the Leon Silver's

1:07:31

1:07:35

1:07:37

Fred. You guys are doing it's incredible,

1:07:39

Like, thank

1:07:43

you. We definitely

1:07:47

I'm doing another humble break again. I

1:07:50

got to yeah again, I got

1:07:52

to preview. You're

1:07:55

amazing, amazing dealer

1:07:59

book. Let me tell you the

1:08:02

one thing I cannot do, can

1:08:04

I get one? Is scientifically explain

1:08:07

why Dila is different from every

1:08:10

producer and the fact that you

1:08:12

literally found like diagrams and direct

1:08:15

like the way that you break it down the book

1:08:17

in a way that's easy to understand. Like I've

1:08:20

been dying to figure out how to even

1:08:24

putting the words dealer's

1:08:26

method of production. You you somehow cracked

1:08:29

the code on that. So I will

1:08:32

say that this book will be taught in uh

1:08:35

university years to come. Yes,

1:08:38

oh, they want to know when the book comes out. Everybody

1:08:41

1:09:31

1:09:35

Dan. I

1:09:40

saw somebody in the chat he said, my eyes are like Michael

1:09:42

Jordans. Fuck y'all say

1:09:49

that. I'm not like, yeah, I

1:09:53

don't know if you know. I don't know if you're aware. I don't know if

1:09:55

you're aware of mirror. But the most

1:09:57

legendary nickname for Michael Jordan's came

1:10:00

was born off off of the lessons.

1:10:02

It was either lesson of was g D. It might have been g

1:10:05

D on Okay Player. Somebody gave

1:10:07

him the name cheese Eyes. Now

1:10:09

I don't know, like church

1:10:13

like cheese eyes, so then

1:10:16

of course that's being the nerds we are. Then it

1:10:18

became Google goggles, Grewyer

1:10:22

goggles. He was like chedder like.

1:10:25

It was all this ship. But yeah,

1:10:27

I don't have cheese eyes. What

1:10:30

I do Swiss

1:10:34

spectacles? Oh man, but

1:10:38

come on, can't you can't come

1:10:40

1:10:42

me to wrap at you ship. That's

1:10:44

so good. Cheese I've

1:10:47

never heard that in my life. I mean, why would I, But that's amazing.

1:10:53

The Okay Player message board

1:10:55

is the is the genesis of quest of streaming

1:10:57

one way or another. Listen,

1:11:00

let me be clear, I'm

1:11:02

gonna talk. Let's talk to my ship. Can't

1:11:05

play that message board. The Okay Player message

1:11:07

board is the genesis of social media period

1:11:09

speak on it funk all

1:11:12

that about the Angela Niddle who

1:11:14

we had on the show, who was the co creator

1:11:16

with Quest Love that right, yeah,

1:11:20

agga, talk about like Twitter dragon,

1:11:22

like mother fucking you understand what g D and

1:11:25

fucking Okay Player Nigga. That was the

1:11:27

fucking Roman colosseum. Niggah,

1:11:31

what do you understand? The

1:11:34

fucking fires of chaos, niggers. We

1:11:38

was teamed. We was fucking kids. We was in our

1:11:40

early twinter was I

1:11:43

was kids. We was kids. Glaudia

1:11:46

had motherfucker's changing their album,

1:11:48

pushing the had niggas with

1:11:50

Grammys coming into goddamn chat talking

1:11:53

ship with us. You know what we

1:11:55

said's so real? And what you get

1:11:58

that? What's the biggest el that event terrified

1:12:00

artists has ever taken in the

1:12:03

lesson or g D. For me, I

1:12:05

know what you're gonna say, But for me, nothing

1:12:08

makes me laugh harder with that than

1:12:10

that whole guru uh

1:12:13

loupe Fiasco sample

1:12:21

what your players start? I'm

1:12:23

here, um yeah

1:12:27

nine. I got Angela to

1:12:29

build it and we released it the day that

1:12:31

Things Fall Apart came out so like February ninety

1:12:33

nine. Wow, that is really freaking

1:12:36

incredible and it really is the beginnings

1:12:38

of this and

1:12:41

the rest and so much more. Like.

1:12:44

But for you, what

1:12:46

what artists do you think that is taking the biggest l

1:12:49

because of the lesson or general man,

1:12:52

I think it was probably um

1:12:55

god man, it was the Loop A ship

1:12:57

that was wild. Um the

1:13:00

Melly Male ship. That ship

1:13:02

was crazy. And even the bro

1:13:07

bro remember he got told

1:13:10

him that I like, I was

1:13:12

telling the story about like white lines and how

1:13:15

he said in an interview that I was high on cocaine

1:13:17

when I did that verse, and you

1:13:20

know, like someone played a game and telephone and then

1:13:22

it got back Yo, I heard you was talking about

1:13:24

me. I'm coming to see you, question Louve like in the in

1:13:27

the d M. And then he came ye,

1:13:31

yeah, it got bad. It got bad for Melly Male. Mellie

1:13:33

mil came on. It was his cat on the

1:13:35

board South Philly man. He's on the board, just

1:13:40

I don't know where he's at. He was hilarious though, and it

1:13:42

was a legend. So anyway,

1:13:45

so Mal posted a video

1:13:47

that he had did and then South Philly man like started

1:13:50

joking on him. So then it just it

1:13:52

goes crazy. So then muscles

1:13:55

he Mellie Mel makes the name muscles.

1:13:58

Somebody remember used to have the okay name

1:14:01

if you got okay that okay again

1:14:04

1:14:06

very fab blue right if

1:15:27

don't know, I don't know what we

1:15:33

actually I think I think that Brittany, just wait,

1:15:36

I get to the next question we asked people. We asked the top

1:15:38

three dream Deaths Janet

1:15:41

Jackson, Anita Baker

1:15:44

1:15:47

1:15:50

times, Like, let's just keep interviewing him over

1:15:52

more, MANU. Top three

1:15:54

QLs classics they want released

1:15:56

because you know we are. We haven't. We got like so much

1:15:59

classics to uh

1:16:01

Quincy um they said,

1:16:04

Quincy John Quincy, Jones, Day Chappelle

1:16:06

and the Revolution. Uh,

1:16:09

and there's there's we

1:16:12

didn't release. We also did

1:16:14

a Jerome bent An interview that never came

1:16:16

out right and okay,

1:16:19

actually the best Prince t that

1:16:22

we never used was from

1:16:24

his former valet, his Jerome

1:16:27

Uh the cat named Robbie. Whenever I come

1:16:29

to Minnesota, Robbie's the guy that like drives me around

1:16:31

or whatever. But Robbie was the guy that

1:16:34

from Purple Rain all the way until

1:16:36

uh Graffiti Bridge, He's

1:16:39

the one that had to like hoist Prince's

1:16:42

grand piano up eighteen flights of stairs,

1:16:45

you know, into a hotel or whatever. Like he

1:16:48

talked about fist fights with prints and

1:16:50

all that ship. But you know, I think

1:16:52

took that off the air because it was too soon. That

1:16:55

was a long weekend, y'all. That was two days in Minnesota

1:16:57

and about ten interviews. That was

1:16:59

that was nuts man, also

1:17:02

to Scott but yeah, yo, he just had

1:17:04

a really good question or a comment. Rather. Um,

1:17:07

election night, I

1:17:10

think we've ever really told that story.

1:17:13

So I started off we

1:17:16

were that was a night we interviewed Stephen Hill. So,

1:17:18

um, this was the night. This is the election night

1:17:20

teen and so this

1:17:23

is also that same morning I

1:17:25

found out that my uncle had gotten shot.

1:17:27

And so when I came into and my uncles

1:17:30

got shot that morning and he later died on

1:17:33

Thanksgiving Day that's when he died, but

1:17:35

he got shot that day. And so when I came to take

1:17:37

that night, and everybody thought I think

1:17:39

a mera thor I was joking. I was like, yeah, my own got shot, and he

1:17:42

was like, word, I'm sorry.

1:17:46

All good but but yeah, So

1:17:48

anyway, so man, we're doing this ship, dude,

1:17:51

and it's like we're watching,

1:17:53

you know, the numbers come in and we're

1:17:56

trying to like stay cool because this

1:17:58

blue blue blue. And then in probably

1:18:00

about about goddamn about eight thirty nine o'clock.

1:18:02

That's when that ship started going red red, and

1:18:04

it was like holy ship. And

1:18:07

so we're on air, like trying to conduct

1:18:09

the interview, trying to be cool with Stephen Becau. Stephen

1:18:11

was good, he had like a lot of all that ship, but

1:18:14

we're watching this ship and it's like, Yo, this motherfucker's

1:18:17

really about to win. Uh. And by

1:18:19

the end of that episode, you go back and listen to that to Stephen

1:18:21

hell ever, so you can hear us up kind of the beginning,

1:18:24

but then towards the end, I don't think I

1:18:26

don't think any of us could hide it anymore. It was like, motherfuck

1:18:32

yes exactly. Which

1:18:38

QLs guests had the best roll call

1:18:41

according to the polls, Charlie Wilson

1:18:44

to Lunge and yeah,

1:18:55

because for me, um when

1:18:58

uh Ith, all

1:19:01

right, uh you know what I mean, my memory the way

1:19:03

that I recall it back, I

1:19:07

got it. I don't smoke

1:19:09

still, I don't smoke. Uh no.

1:19:12

No. When when Gerard Carmichael came

1:19:14

on the show, Rob he

1:19:17

told the truth who stood us up? Rick

1:19:20

Ruben had stood us up? Right? It

1:19:22

was right? And he said

1:19:25

whatever his mind scheme was, was like, you

1:19:28

know, Rick Rubin stood you up, so then y'all

1:19:30

called me like that

1:19:33

was like it was a great interview too. That was

1:19:35

a wild day. Yeah, someone

1:19:38

mentioned, uh, my fear of Leyla Hathaway

1:19:41

and that should still scared

1:19:44

me a little bit. But why are you afraid of Leyla

1:19:46

half because she sings chords? Well

1:19:49

no, not that, just I

1:19:52

have a really bad association with

1:19:54

her dad's death and that because

1:19:57

she sings like her dad. Like

1:20:00

it's still just you know, like triggered

1:20:03

off like an eight year old a mirror nightmare

1:20:06

moment, and so she

1:20:09

would just come up like, ore, how come you never call me?

1:20:11

You look me in the eye, and you know, I'm just like

1:20:13

whoa I had to get

1:20:15

She thought that I had beef with her. It was like, no, I

1:20:18

just you don't have to get over my

1:20:20

childhood fear of you had a couple of ladies like

1:20:22

that on the couch and mirror. He was like, I used

1:20:25

to be scared of you, but so whatever,

1:20:28

Yeah, there's been a bunch of them. Yeah,

1:20:31

Deannaca put

1:20:35

out of here, all

1:20:39

1:20:41

1:20:46

1:20:49

1:25:32

O'Neill would be great, That would be great. Can you

1:25:34

ask Jimmy jam Chat? Thanks? Oh,

1:25:37

look at these eyes right now? Looking

1:25:40

at finding these eyes? Some

1:25:42

cigarettes? Wait

1:25:46

wait wait, wait wait, Pante

1:25:48

actually just recreated the infamous

1:25:51

just where things get awkward and

1:25:53

the boys. He's like, looking

1:25:56

right, Yeah, I'm

1:25:59

a professional, almost do it for my job. But sometimes

1:26:03

Vande's got a golden reasons. I ever

1:26:06

recommended him, knew that there was gonna

1:26:08

be some sort of comedy elements, so whoever,

1:26:12

somebody just said, and Brandy, but Brandy

1:26:14

we've been talking. We're gonna work this out. We're gonna get that done.

1:26:18

Oh yeah, what

1:26:21

are you smoking right now? They want to know

1:26:23

what cigarette? Yeah, don't

1:26:25

worry about that. Smoking is bad for you. It's

1:26:28

not funny. Um, but someone

1:26:31

said the City Band, have you guys seen the um Rick

1:26:35

joint? Yeah? Yeah, what's you think about it? I liked

1:26:37

it? What do you think it's

1:26:40

cool? But they were like, because

1:26:43

I'm such a music nerd, there's like

1:26:46

four amazing factorys

1:26:48

that never got revealed that

1:26:50

I'm kind of frustrated that weren't revealed.

1:26:53

Um All, well, one,

1:26:56

I think it's I think it's important to note

1:26:58

that, um, the

1:27:00

instrumentation on street songs is

1:27:04

stolen Prince equipment. Like,

1:27:07

yes, it's one thing for Rick James to steal

1:27:09

those uh too to write those great songs.

1:27:12

But the other part of that story is that

1:27:14

he literally went on he liked the way

1:27:16

that Prince had pre programmed his Oberham

1:27:18

synthesizers. So when you're listening

1:27:20

to give it to me baby, wondering why those synthesizers

1:27:23

have the same texture as controversy,

1:27:26

it's literally because he's using Prince's

1:27:28

equipment to record this record, So you

1:27:31

know, I think that was I think that was important. No,

1:27:36

it's it's it's no, it's no. Um.

1:27:38

Also, the way that super Freak actually got created

1:27:41

was kind of genius, which was, you

1:27:44

know, I think that this whole

1:27:46

thing of like him looking for a pop hit and that sort

1:27:48

of thing. It wasn't that. They were just fucking around

1:27:50

and did a cool little sixteen

1:27:53

bar apart and then was working around another

1:27:55

song. And then when he listened to the twenty minute

1:27:57

jam session that one match moment

1:28:00

of they

1:28:03

took that and just looped it and

1:28:05

built a song around that. Like I mean, super

1:28:08

freakent such an afterthought. I mean, I

1:28:10

know that music

1:28:12

documentaries really, you know, it's more about

1:28:14

the sensational aspect that's going to keep

1:28:17

the average person interested. But I

1:28:19

am interested in like sort

1:28:22

of those things that you know that that they

1:28:24

had. He had his Purple Rain that wasn't

1:28:26

even talked about. Um. He had

1:28:28

a script for Tina Marie called Alice and Ghetto

1:28:31

Land, and they

1:28:33

were trying to get a movie done too, but couldn't get

1:28:35

a pass. I mean, there's so there's a lot in there

1:28:37

that I felt. UM

1:28:41

was was kind of admitted, but it was also

1:28:43

cool to hear like his early motel shout out

1:28:45

to Harry Winer. Um, yeah,

1:28:47

but I'm going into multese and stuff. Yeah

1:28:50

the way you said an average person just hit my heart

1:28:52

soul like, yeah, well

1:28:54

I got you, I

1:28:57

know you and I know it just was like, oh and

1:28:59

I don't go off after street songs

1:29:01

like Throwing Down was was platinum

1:29:03

and and Glow

1:29:06

like you know he you know the

1:29:08

one flop album, The Flag, that's when the you

1:29:11

know, eight six is when the cocaine really

1:29:13

came in undid him. But um,

1:29:18

I did one movie. Now I think I know everything.

1:29:20

I'm saying that question and the stagia and

1:29:22

the stagia that he keeps asks have an amazing

1:29:25

question. Yes, have to ask. Because

1:29:27

Bill had time for the clear out. We got to wrap this thing up. People

1:29:32

are also asking about the Jungle Brothers, who we did interview

1:29:34

at the Roots Pick many years

1:29:37

ago, and it's great. They're they're

1:29:39

awesome. So what

1:29:42

time I wanted to add to tell you guys real quick and

1:29:46

oh, I'm also working on Santana. That's

1:29:48

what I wanted to say, Santana and been talking Santana.

1:29:51

I'm gonna get this Darrel Hall thing done. I want to Yeah,

1:29:55

no, Joe, Santanna, no Uel

1:29:59

has just no

1:30:03

we could it happened,

1:30:08

well, Santana, it could, it could

1:30:13

so okay, So guys, and I also

1:30:15

want to tell everybody the trip the Top

1:30:18

Trader trivia winners will be who we meet in the

1:30:20

meet and greet. I didn't want nobody to think about the

1:30:22

whole V I P. Thing. It's like the people

1:30:24

who won the trivia, they're gonna say

1:30:26

hello real quick, and then that's what it is. We

1:30:29

can How do I wrap the show or

1:30:31

do we just talk for another twelve hours? No

1:30:34

about our favorite episodes? We

1:30:36

should episode

1:30:39

yeah, man, we got yeah, we gotta get

1:30:42

Andrea at some point, man, you gotta get Andrea happen.

1:30:46

Ask of this room, how much attention,

1:30:49

if any, was given to those two records

1:30:51

that came out this week. Let's

1:30:53

go in Oh hold

1:30:58

on Pante thirty seconds kom his

1:31:00

latest album go. I

1:31:04

haven't heard it all.

1:31:12

I'll be I'll be on the song. But the jam,

1:31:15

the Andre jam, like that ship is gorgeous,

1:31:17

the one that's not on there? Right, that's not right? Yeah?

1:31:22

You know, I mean obviously this was his

1:31:25

one hour and forty seven minute attempt

1:31:27

to apologen. I

1:31:29

mean, if you name like he's in your mind,

1:31:32

I mean that's the equivalent of like,

1:31:34

you know, the dog ate my homework,

1:31:36

Like if you use your mama's

1:31:39

name for an album title. I feel

1:31:41

like that's the biggest offering.

1:31:43

Like okay, guys, look you know, um

1:31:48

yeah, you know. I look

1:31:52

again, I've expressed this before

1:31:55

that I feel as though he saw Jim

1:31:58

and Andy on Netflix and

1:32:01

then got the bright idea that he was going to

1:32:03

agitate the world and become the new Andy

1:32:06

Kaufman and it didn't work

1:32:08

out that way. Um. For

1:32:11

me, I will say that the

1:32:14

only thing left for him to do that

1:32:17

I feel his news worthy or surprising would

1:32:20

be for him to show

1:32:22

me what he has learned,

1:32:25

um in the last twenty years and do

1:32:28

an album by himself

1:32:31

like Pulis Freeest and doing Nebraska

1:32:34

like the same way that that whole pre summers

1:32:37

me doing it all by myself thing. Because

1:32:39

it's just now it's like even I

1:32:43

mean just without I mean right now,

1:32:46

it's basically I mean, he has he has a budget

1:32:48

to buy the world. Yeah,

1:32:50

he's windows shopping. Okay, I'll take

1:32:52

your songs and your songs and your ideas and your verses

1:32:54

and your music, and that fighting artists

1:32:56

are coming out, man, Like I would there to work on his record

1:32:59

and I might make Yeah, at this point

1:33:01

is more it's more curation than creation.

1:33:04

Yeah, and look at

1:33:06

you. That's but that's what it is.

1:33:08

I don't feel like I'm hearing. I feel like I'm hearing

1:33:11

the best artists that he could buy

1:33:15

and I want to actually

1:33:17

hear. I feel like that's him hiding behind,

1:33:20

Like just him alone, do that cree

1:33:22

summer you know, three summer

1:33:25

whatever things he was running like going

1:33:27

to room by yourself and make me something like, what have

1:33:30

you learned in the last twenty years now,

1:33:33

Drake? Um,

1:33:37
