Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, ever wonder how celebrities spend their spare time when
not on stage, in the studio, or in front of
a camera. I'm Saya Garrett, Grammy winner and two time
Academy Award nominated singer, songwriter and passionate knitter and now
host to my very own podcast series, The Uppity Knitter
Podcast Celebrity Hobbies Uncovered. Starting October twenty fifth, I'll be

(00:23):
joined each week by one of my favorite stars in music, television, film,
and sports, and together we'll discover the hobbies that keep
them grounded and created. They'll share with us what first
got them interested and how it helps them to achieve
and maintain a certain balance in their lives. In fact,
some celebs have even turned their hobbies into successful and

(00:45):
thriving businesses. You know, I was on the Reinvention tour
with Madonna and she saw me knitting this sexy boussier
and she asked if I would knit one for her,
and of course I obliged. And when I was in
the studio with Quincy Jones, I surprise It's Cue by
crocheting a beautiful sweater for him to wear when he
goes skiing. On my podcast, you're gonna hear America's number

(01:07):
one drag queen Rupeaul and he'll share his little hobby secret.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I've always had a pair of skates, so I will
open up the car doors, blast my favorite music, and
then have my own roller disco.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yes, and wait till you hear where he skates. Or actor, comedian,
producer and sneaker collector Marlon Wayans.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
And now I have twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Shut the front door. Now that's a hell of a
sneaker collection.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Or how about actor.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
And singer songwriter Don Lewis.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
You're a Guyanese African American girl from Brooklyn who's scuba
dives all around the scuba dive around the world. How
long have you been doing this? I've been diving now
since the nineties.
