Episode Transcript

(00:03):
The bother right and beyond. Beyonceis nice. I'm gonna keep it fly.
He's on the line, were kickingblast the lasts, so cravers all

(00:30):
right, vibes are right. IBeyonce is right. I'm not drinking anything
right now. I'm not gonna lieto you. I'm not drinking right now.
I am currently trying to decide whatwe will be having for Super Bowl
Sunday. I'm not sure yet.It'll probably be a couple of bottles.
I'll be honest, It'll probably bea couple of bottles, but I'm not

(00:51):
I'm not sure yet what we're gonnado for the Usher Bowl. I'm not
sure. I'm not sure. Youhaven't figured it out. Probably a white
and a red. Maybe it's sparklingtoo, you know, just in case.
But I'll let y'all know what mySuper Bowl picks are. Once we
are closer, Once we're closer,how's it? How's it feel to be

(01:11):
getting ready for the Usher Bowl?It feels like justice? It does?
It does? It feels like justice. On another episode of a podcast called
Grab a Glass was a by YoursTrueley David Thomas, better known as DT
put Your Money in more mother fuckingfuck met Boy's Best also known as the

(01:36):
One and Only Big Broccolini. Itfeels like justice because I called this early,
early, before Jay Z and RockNation were even involved with picking who
was going to be the Super Bowlperformers, before this was even an idea,
I would tell anybody who would listenthat I thought that I believed that

(01:57):
it was a grave injustice to havehad a Justin Timberlake on the Super Bowl
performance twice and to only have hadUsher as a special guest for someone before.
I've said that many, many times. Anybody who would listen, I
would say, this is bullshit,and I'll prove it to you. I
will, I'll prove it to you. But now that it's finally happening,
I feel like everything is right inthe world and that it's gonna be amazing.

(02:21):
So that's how it feels today,That's how it feels. I can't
wait. I absolutely can't wait.And I'm hoping a few things for the
overall super Bowl. Number one,they're gonna show Taylor Swift a million times.
We know it. We know it. Don't let Travis Kelsey have a
great game. We know they're gonnashow her a thousand, hundred times.

(02:45):
What's more annoying than that is howmuch y'all are gonna talk and complain about
it. At this point, wejust need to accept it. We just
need to accept it. It's moreannoying to hear you niggas bitch and complain
and whine over and over again aboutthis woman when you know that's what they're
gonna do. We know it aslong as she doesn't somehow outshine Usher,

(03:07):
which I feel like that's gonna happenno matter what, regardless, because you
know, how should get down.They saying she's better than Michael Jackson,
that's what they're saying, better thanBeyonce, better than Michael, better than
Stevie, better than Ray, betterthan whoever else. Y'all like they're gonna
show her a million times. Solet's not complain about it. Let's not

(03:30):
make that the whole super Bowl.Uh. Let's also not tear down Usher
if he does songs that you don'twant him to do. The man has
been doing music for thirty years.He's got fifteen minutes to do a medley
of his entire career. Yes,he's gonna do some of the pop records.

(03:51):
Let's not tear another black man down. I have a whole other show
recorded and ready to go about that. Let's not tear a black man down
because he's doing something that you don'twant. Okay, listen to OMG oh
oh oh oh oh oh yeah,that shit was fly. I don't come
on now, come on now,listen to MG. Don't get upset.

(04:14):
Let that man do what he needsto do. Please listen to ORG.
Listen to Without You. Okay,listen to Uh, what's the other one
I'm thinking of, the one withSkrillicks, the one with Marshmallow two.
Let him do those if he hasto, because he's gonna do the ones
you want to. I don't havea dog in the fight for the game.
I don't. But last, butnot least, I'm hoping for a

(04:38):
great football game, a classic classicfootball game. The other short message that
I wanted to send this week,outside of the fact that it's the Usher
Bowl, the Super Bowl and Ican't wait, is the concept of you
will never lose prioritizing you. Letme say that again. You will never

(05:06):
ever, ever ever lose prioritizing yourself. It's a must. Self preservation is
a must. It is the entirereason where on this planet is to survive,
to prioritize ourselves. Now, that'snot to say that you don't have

(05:26):
other priorities, that you don't helpother people, that you just block out
everybody else and you're just a selfish, narcissistic prick. That's not what I'm
advocating for. I just feel likein the last couple of weeks, I've
had so many examples of for myself, for family members, for friends,
that you've got to prioritize you.You won't lose doing that, and you

(05:47):
shouldn't feel bad doing that. Isay it all the time, But you
won't lose prioritizing you. It's notover extend for other people. Meanwhile,
your health this trash, your financesare booboo, your relationships are terrible,
your aesthetic is all fucked up.Do it please? Now? The caveat

(06:14):
to that another message that I wantto leave. Actually, no, I'm
thinking about it because it relates somethingthat I had to tell myself a few
times over the past few weeks.As I'm trying to say, oh,
I got to prioritize me. Igot to prioritize this for myself. I
gotta do this, this, andthis. Somebody out there needs to hear
this. Just because that thing thatyou see is beautiful, it's perfect,

(06:44):
does not mean that you need tobuy it right now. Just because you
see that really perfect, beautiful Godthe way that they crafted that, how
did they know that? Why didthey serve me this? Addy? It's
perfect? It doesn't mean you haveto buy it today, right now,

(07:08):
at this moment. I know becauseI'm the person that spends weeks on months
on years going ooh, I'm gonnaget that thing, and then when it's
time for me to go get it, it's not always there. I know
that that's the other side of thecoin. But just because something's beautiful,
imperfect, doesn't mean you need topurchase it right right now, Not right

(07:29):
right now, you don't. Sowhile you prioritize, you keep that in
the back of your mind too.I haven't done Okay Blessings in a while.
I haven't done Flash It only ina while. However, I do
want to point out the fact thatUsher does have a new album out called
Coming Home, Well worth to listenas a legacy artist who is now touting

(07:49):
his independence. He's now an independentartists working with Gamma owning the rights to
his music and his publishing, etcetera, et cetera. I believe with
Gamma it's just distribution. You shoulddefinitely push play on this and it's a
good album to incorporate into your playlistas you prepare for the Usher Bowl.
Much love to the creators, nomatter your flavor. May God forever being

(08:13):
our favorite. YO. Cheers everybody, enjoy the game. Thanks for listening.
