(01:27):
we're doing this until eleven. Here's the producer of the
angel Aboo and angel Everra and trining under my Ryan
Home too. To you today, sir, so if you're just
waking up, man, uh, the biggest comeback in NBA Finals
history happened last night. I watched a little bit of

(01:47):
the game. I like, well, this is this is ridiculous.
This ain't going nowhere. I'm just going to go to sleep.
They were the New Knicks were down by twenty nine
points and that seems like, yeah, they're never going to
come in. No way to come back. Holy hell, they
come back one second left.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
It was a misshot actually, and congratulations to him and
his tip.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
He tips it in and just perfect tip in and
all of New York goes absolutely bonkers. They win by
one point? What if? What a fairy tale story that,
I mean, you know, after the last lost with you
know everyone, you know, people want to blame what they
want to blame, you mean, for the last time, and
then now the President's not there and they win by

(02:36):
one point in the last second. I mean, it really
is sort of like this has been It seems like
a soap opera that has been written out beforehand. No,
that's not at all. That's what it seems like.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
The credit goes to one place in one place, so
only this is the only thing that New York and
the and the City of New York could have done
to combat the unintended guests of Game three. Yeah, did
you guys pick up on who was performing at halftime? Halftime?
Was the Wu Tang w Tang one of those guys.

(03:08):
They brought out a heavy artillery and had Wu Tang
clan perform at halftime.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Do you know what song they performed? What do they say?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Cream, the iconic classic protect your Neck. They play, they
performed Protect your Neck, and that's what the next did
last night. I saw yeah, so yeah, I saw Wang
was there. I saw Taylor Swift was there. That was
it seemed like they.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Were more Pang.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
That her song We're Never Getting Back Together is actually
about Wu Tang that now she was with all the celebrities,
it was of.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Course, it seemed like it was more and this is
what they've been saying. So the that Game three, that
the celebrity row was jam packed with hedge fun guys
and and uh like, you know, all these billionaire dudes,
and they didn't really see a lot of New York
centric fans. You saw the standard guys like Adam Sandler
and everything. But Game four seemed to have more celebrity

(04:02):
power there.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
There were a couple more, a couple extra at Game four.
I did watch the pre game with I do look
the pre great. I do. I do love watching shack
and and Charles Barkley get into it and Ernie and
I'll tell.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
You right now, you want to see one of the
most iconic like post game just a ripping and we
were talking about this. Look up, Charles Barkley what he
had to say about the Spurs. I'll playing for.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, we'll play for mo Suport. We played a little
bit later on. But the pre in the pre game
that they had, they did they interviewed Ben Stiller, who
that was the best interview I've seen with Ben Stiller
every interview I've seen before. He seems so kind of
like with no sense of humor and kind of stoic
and kind of he was obviously in a really great
mood and all the guys were kind of goofing with

(04:47):
him and stuff, and and that was a really good interview.
And then they interviewed John McEnroe, uh and New York guy. Yeah,
classic New York guy, and he was funny actually, like like,
so the pre game was great, and she can O'Neil
and Charles Barklay when they start arguing, I mean, it's
just I mean, you know, it's just funny. I mean,
it just really is funny. And you kind of think, oh, man,

(05:08):
maybe they really don't like each other, but no, they do.
It's just that they're just busting balls. But yeah, I
think and we'll talk about this a little bit later on. Yeah,
Charles Barkley, I think he wants to get fired, because
he does. He really does know.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
He said he was on Dann Patrick and he straight
up told him it's like he's got six or seven years.
He went over it with his This is like, this
is the kind of people you need representing you win
in contracts or whatever. Because so his guy told his
attorney or you know, his agent basically tells him, yeah,
it doesn't matter what happens, whatever they fire you for,
they're gonna have to honor the contract and you're getting
paid for the next six seven years.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's great. So he can he can act as foolish
as he wants to hope they hope they fire him.
But if he does something that is out of line though,
like way out of line, then the contract.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't Again, I'm just going off of what he
was talking about, and he basically said, he's like, I
talked to my agent, and it doesn't matter what they
fired me for, they have to honor my uh you know,
six or six or seven years. They might there might
be a morality clause in there, and he's probably not
taking that into consideration. I think he's probably just taught
thinking about what he says on the air, right, because
they were getting at him about.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
The Cardi B. Joe. Yeah, he made a joke about
Cardi B and herds, yeah and what ERDs and uh
and he's like, I hope they fired me. It's pretty
it was. But anyway, but anyway, I watched the pre show,
so I was watching to see who's going to sing
the national anthem this time? But they must have the
same guy singing it all the time for good luck, right,

(06:35):
Like that guy must sing the national anthem in New
York all the time because it was the same guy
two times in a row. Yeah, I think he does. Yeah, yeah,
I think he's great. Great, that's great, great, you know,
a great national anthem. But uh yeah, man, they got started.
It's like, oh, okay, well Nick's going to lose this
down by twenty nine. I mean, I watch that seems
like it's almost impossible. If you've watched The Knicks though

(06:56):
throughout this season. One of the things that they've been
credited for there they're not adverse from coming from behind. Yeah,
like there was if you look go back and watch it. Uh,
there's no point there where in the last two minutes
where they seemed stressed out, even when they were getting
their butts handed to him in the first half, you know,
they they was you could see there was frustration, but
there wasn't uh pressing there in the last two minutes

(07:18):
three minutes because the Spurs are so young, you could
tell that there was a difference in and being ready
for that or are being ready for the moment? You know, Yeah, Hey,
what's the guy's name that did the tip? End og
og and aenobi okay, And so they said I was
watching this morning like he's known for like not getting
an excited he doesn't really you know, as cool as

(07:39):
a qcum for their interviewing, like, what do you think
you just won one of the biggest games in NBA
history where they did, because I'm very, very excited, And
then everybody started laughing, and he actually cracked a smile
and he's like, you know, I'm excited, but we got
one more game to win. They've got one more game
to win, and they were not expected to win. Everyone
was saying, oh, the West is so much better than

(07:59):
the East, and and that Spurs.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Are killing you that I know, I was on the
record of saying that I thought I thought, uh, I
thought the Spurs were going to I thought the winner
of the NBA Finals was going to come out of
the West.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I did. You're not the only A lot of people
said that, you know. And all they gotta do is
win one more of the next three and they will
be the NDIA champions and I and New York is
gonna go crazy.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, here's already going crazy. There's the villain here.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Man.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I do not want them to win at all.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Look at it.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Of course, No, I don't.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Here's video of them just destroying stuff after they won last.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Night, not even the series, not even won it.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay, Ryan, that's a handful of knucklehead.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Here's another video of them throwing stuff at Wemby as
he tries to like just enter.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Here's a video of them trying to light a Spurs
fan on. Not every Knicks fan, those.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Are something Knicks fan, but like they're not policing as well.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I will say this everybody last night on the pre
show that everyone will saying, hey, this does not represent
Nick fans, don't does it?

Speaker 4 (08:59):
This fully represents Nick fans, just in the same way
Philly fans are represented accurately.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, I don't believe that it's a handful of knucklegs
that are gonna be just like I think it was
one of the that you got Shack, you got Ernie.
What's the other guy? I forget the ag ravon? Yeah yeah, yeah.
We were saying, listen, these guys are going to act like,
you know, jackasses no matter what it is. You know,
they're just using this as an excuse to act like
a jackass. They're not the real Knick fans, so but

(09:27):
they are the real Nick fans. Let's be real, you
are going to be mad at all the Knicks fans
for a handful, Let's say fifty two for fifty. Let's
say they're fifty two a holes. Right, there are thousands
of Knicks, never two a holes. I'm literally looking at
a video hundreds of people doing this being arrested. There's
multiple arrests after this. And this isn't even after their
full on win. This is after just a game four win.

(09:49):
You still got another one to do. I'm sorry, but
I can judge Shirtain fan basses. Certain fan bases just
have a stigma to them. Buffalo Bills fans with the
Bills Mafia. They're a little bit wilder, but not that easy, right,
but Philly fans, that town literally burns itself down when
they win. New York seems to be the same kind
of douchebag. Yeah. I for me, it's fun to watch

(10:12):
the people who are having a great time. Uh, they're
you know, they're getting their their their first win and
with fifty some odd years, Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Lots of teams have done that without going around destroying
things and trying to light other fans on fire. Right Like,
you know, the Arizona Cardinals win, you don't see that happen.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
You could dampen anything.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Dampening this is you can't just ignore facts happening.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Those a holes that are doing that are definitely they
should be arrested. They're bad people. Well that doesn't mean
all Knick fans are bad people. Because you got a hand.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Phil of thelph needs to be nipped in the butt
now because they haven't been in the championship since nineteen
ninety nine. Right, Philly became a town where this has
become acceptable, where they greased the light poles, where like
they're like, that's just.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Part of the culture.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
I'm gonna have me a wounder Like New York, you
can you have the chance now to bite this in
the butt now before it gets out of control, because
I would say what Mundonmi did where he canceled a
watch party, honestly, what a great move now, uh, and
and being like, hey, if you're going to act like children,
we're gonna have to treat you guys like children as well,

(11:15):
because you can't have this in a quote unquote America
shining shitty.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
You know what I mean. Orlando Magic doesn't do that.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, this town wouldn't burn itself down if Orlando made
it to the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Though.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, you can't tell me that vibe exists here.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Not the size of New York Man. New York's huge,
and you have a handful of compared to the millions
of people that are in New York, you got a
handful of people that are jackasses. And guess what, those
same people are gonna be jackasses about something else. They're
they're just they just happen to me. It gives them
a reason to be extractation. Just let them be jackets.
Oh no, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying
I wouldn't let it just for me. I wouldn't let

(11:53):
him take away the the fun of watching this team
go against adversity, go against the the and and and
be like a Cinderella team, and the enjoyment of watching
all these people have a great time that their team
is actually making it. Just because there's a handful of
people you want to ruin all the fun.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
You heard one bad apple ruins the bunch.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
If there's like a a don't ruin a whole bunch, girl,
they don't ruin the.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Whole Which one bad apple ruins the bunch?

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Whatever?

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Weird song when the Osmond singing it ain't I can't
argue with the Osman you don't know that song. No
I'm not a hundred.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Sorry, well I am, and I know the song, and
it's one bad apple, don't ruin the whole bunch?

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Girl has got it wrong. The literal phrases one bad
apple and ruin the whole bunch. That's the whole point
of the apple phrase. And then the big apple one
apple ruins the whole bunch.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
If you have a big sports team, cinderell comeback, but
there's a violent mob at any point, I would you
say that ruins the vibe.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
So if the Orlando Magic won and there was a
handful of knuckleheads from from you know, One Street or
whatever that do something horrible.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
You'd be like, all Magic fans are terrible. We've had that,
We've had that. Orlando City fans. Yeah, yeah, So you
can't say it happens everywhere. Are you saying that we
haven't had issues with Orlando City fan the fan groups
and post games getting into fights near uh each other?

Speaker 3 (13:19):
No? No, no, that's Orlando City.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
Issue.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
There was an issue with the Miami fan fan group
that came up here. They've gotten into it.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
But that okay, let me throw this out there as well.
Soccer has a history of see.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
What I would agree with is this is that if
New York wants to take a handle this, then again,
because New York is the most most surveiled city and
all of the United States of America that got cameras
on everywhere, then you make sure you know where these
guys are at. You make sure you grab them, you
make sure you put them on TV. You make sure
that you're let your citizens know and let concerted citizens
outside of the City of New York and Manhattan know

(13:59):
that they're being police. So you can feel assured that
the New York is doing the best.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
That they can. And I know in the post game show,
when they talked to John McEnroe, when they talked to
Ben Stiller, when they talked to you know, other people
from New York, all of them, one of the first
things they said was, Hey, don't do that. This is
not this is not New York Nick fans, we do
not you know, we do not want to be seen
this way. That's horrible. They all mentioned it and denounced it.

(14:23):
And what else can they do? You know, there's look,
you got millions of people and guess what millions of people.
There are some dumbasses, and uh, but it doesn't mean
all the fans are that way.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Just well, my overall point is New York is the
villain in this series and they continue to show us.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Well, I'm having fun watching them go against all odds
and it's Cinderella story because they were not expected to win. Bro.
They were not expected to win.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Story would be like a last place team winning. That is,
everybody had already counted them out. They were from the East,
they had no chance. The West was going to kill them.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
And uh, and they've been they have haven't been to
the finals and won the finals in fifty three years.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Why do you like Cinderella's stories so much? Is it
because it's about feet at most of it?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
No, it's like a rocky story when people don't expect
you to win, they count you out, they don't think
you're gonna do something, and then you do it. I
think that's cool. I like that. I like those stories.
And counted out they were top seed team. Now they
were counted out. Before this, everybody was saying that they
don't have a chance. The West is so much better.
You were even saying that they didn't have a chance.

(15:29):
You were you were like, you know, the West is
gonna win, for sure. But I.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Did think the West is gonna win, But alsought it
was gonna be Oklahoma Stages Thunder. The Spurs definitely surprised me.
But the Knicks still had definitely had a chance. All right,
one more game and then the Magic was going to
win it all Yeah, all right, I.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Take a break. I don't go anywhere. You're listening to
the match in the morning.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
The Lakers, Chicago, Boston, the Magic I love are are
are involved just because of this kind of drama. So yeah, yeah,
because people with Ryan, you know, I know, I would
be either at Kia Center or on watching it at
any watch party. Magic as soon as the Orlando Magic

(16:13):
Man not yeh, we all would we all would be
super excited. Think but I mean it's gonna be like
it took the Wealth to win. It is taking the
next fifty three years? Is that what they're saying?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
So how long is it going to take the Magic
to get to the finals again? Yest year we're in
I mean, you know next year New York's tried a
lot whatever, Yeah, nixer in or Orlando Magic or in
the next year. Hey, do you guys get on? Of
course I live out in winter Haven. Now we got
a lot of rain, Thank goodness. My pool actually uh
you know bubbled Overy you know it was too full?

(16:46):
Uh did you guys get that much rain here? All?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Look, the Native Americans had a rain dance.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
The Aboriginal people have their didgeri dudes to call upon
the rain.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
How Ryan calls the rain is he fills up his
pool with his hose for two hours and then the
rain comes. That's all that ever has to happen, because
it's happened twice now in the last month. Really, yeah,
I should Honestly, this is on me. I should check
the radar before I do this, but yeah, I'll fill
up my pool for about two hours and then a

(17:17):
big ass storm comes through and I'm like, cool.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Weather reports all day yesterday.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
To read the weather. They're wrong.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
But the weather has been wrong a lot predicted rain,
at least at my house. So many times they're like, well,
it didn't rain at all, so I can't trust him.
I don't. Well, okay, hold on a second.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
What I'm saying is if you're listening to weather report
here and you live an hour away, that's probably where
the discrepancy is.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, it's it's Amanda Holly in which you guys don't
know who she is, but Amanda Holly where I watch
it in in winter Haven. And they'll like, yeah, it's
kind of rain today and then it doesn't rain.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
But again, but you're getting Tampa news and I'll bet
you a man just talking about the Tampa like general
area and it's not going all the way out to
winter Hey.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
That's what's got different weather there because once the once
the golf breeze meets the Tampa mess cloud, it has
a different weather over there.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Right. Uh, But it was great to see so and
I hope it just keeps going and going because like
you say, the lakes are just so so low that
people are running into now they're running into you know,
the problem is with all the lakes there, there's a
whole big chain of lakes. I guess for whatever reason,
the homeless people will get shopping cards and so they
don't get caught. They'll throw the shopping carts into the water,

(18:26):
and then boats hit the shopping carts. That's a that's
a thing there. There there was another report yesterday be
like look, oh there's a shopping cart over by this
particular lake at this you know, and and uh, you
know some people don't want to jump in and get
the shopping cards. Uh, so they just leave them there
and they put reports on on Facebook. So that was
that was a thing. Uh. And then yes also yesterday
I did work out, and when worked out with Poppy

(18:47):
D I am feeling better about my workout situation. Remember
when I the first day I had to go, I
bitched about it and complaining and everything. Now I'm like, okay,
I'm kind of looking forward to it. You know, it's
going good, going better. So that I had that going on.
Then I went home, and I'm interested if you've seen
this yet, Angel, because it's right up your alley. Uh,
it's another thing you quest Love is now just doing
these documentaries and he hasn't.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
He won, like he won.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Academy Awards for his documentaries. Is it Academy Awards or
is it Emmys? Probably Academy Award. They're they're their documentary
so they're movies. Okay. So anyway, his newest one is
about earth Wind and Fire. Now, I will tell you
what I don't know. I didn't know a whole lot
about earth Wind and Fire. I know that every time
one of their songs came on, I liked him. I'm like,
I like that. It's pretty good. And I remember back

(19:34):
in the day they were considered one of the best bands.
You know and like live bands, Uh for you R
and B or whatever look funk. Yeah. And and guess
guess who was inspired by Earth Wind and Fire at
their concerts? Going God, I don't I don't know if
I can do this. Michael Jackson, Prince, the precursors, Steedee.

(19:55):
Wonder uh that these guys actually started all that kind
of stuff, and and these other were like man, I
don't know if we can do this many, but it's
it's the first part I didn't find as interesting. I
started to fall asleep a little bit. But then once
they got into the band in like nineteen seventy six,
where they were where they were really performing and stuff,
it was pretty interesting. And the music, I mean, I

(20:16):
had forgotten how many great songs earth Wind and Fire had,
but you know.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Dude, they're I mean, the cheat code with them is
if there's a couple of uh. And I'm not a
huge proponent of best of albums, but uh, there's a
couple of their best of albums that it's just it's
straight up the cheat code to earth Wind and Fire,
where it's just a banger after banger, up after banger.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh yeah, Mariyelle looked at you. Well, this weekend on
the boat, if we go out of the boat, which
you probably won't, but we got to listen to some
earth Wind and Fire because like, all those songs were
great and and a lot of them. Uh. But just
like every band, man, there was infighting. The lead guy
was you know, he was problematic. There's all kinds of
drama to go along with it. So if you are

(20:59):
just a little interested in that kind of music and
you don't know much about fire. It was interesting.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I've always had that or I have it on deck.
I didn't realize that I had already dropped. I thought
I was dropping actually this weekend. So yeah, it's an HBO.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, quest Love and you can hear Questlove interviewing the guys. Uh,
you know, everybody in the band that's still alive and
uh pretty interesting. But yeah, the lead the lead guy,
the guy that pretty much was earth Wind and Fire
White was was not well liked. Uh, and he was
you know, he was you know, he's a controlling guy

(21:33):
and all the stuff.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
That dated a lot of that, and I'm sure it's
difficult when you have an ensemble like that. I think
that that's one of those bands were at the height.
They probably have like twelve fifteen guys in the band.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
There was a bunch of guys in the band and
then one day he calls them in and he's like, hey, guys,
I think it's over done. I'm gonna go do my
own thing. And they're all fired. And the one guy's like, like,
I couldn't pay my credit card credit card bills because
that he was spending more money, like they would do
these big stage shows. Yeah, and he would, and they
had these big tours and then where they'd be done
with the they'd still owe a million dollars, like they

(22:01):
weren't making money, but he wanted it a certain way
and he was willing to spend more to make it
look like huge.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
That's how Philip Bailey ends up becoming famous as uh uh,
what's the song he had?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Easy Lover?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah? If Phil Collins and that helps. That helped propelled
his solo career.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, you know they they when he broke up, Philip
Bailey went to and started to work with Phil Collins. Uh.
And so the lead singer guy, What's He's white? He
his solo thing wasn't successful, not at all, but Philip
Baileys was so and then they had to get the
band back together. And it's a whole whole drama thing.
But it's pretty interesting. I thought that they've come to

(22:40):
uh SeaWorld a couple of times. When they do that
the summer concert series, there's still I mean there's still good,
good fun songs to listen to. Yeah, they're still performing.
You know who's in this is Barack and Michelle Obama
because that was like their favorite meeting when they were
kids and stuff, and that was pretty interesting. So if
you have any interest in earth Wind and Fire or
or even that kind of music, because I didn't really

(23:02):
know a lot about them, I found it interesting. And
it's by quest Love. It's a documentary, uh and it's
you know, earth Wind the Fire. But it was pretty good,
pretty good. Yeah, you like all the quest Love? How
many has he done now? I think about four that
I can call. I know he did the Summer what
was it, the Summer of Soul, right, which was the

(23:24):
concert that was programmed opposite of the moon Landing. Yeah,
and then there's the one that he did was about
Sly Size, and then this one. But I think there's
another one or two in there that I that I've missed. Yeah,
will he go down?

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Anyone about the music?

Speaker 1 (23:43):
So will he go down? He'll be remembered more as
a director now, probably more than a musician, you think
quest Love, oh.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Man, No, no, No, it's all just about lanes where
you where you drop in on Quest Love's career because
he's also a very accomplished author, and I've got like
two or three of his books as well.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
He's well respected. Yeah so.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
But but for me, Questlove is always going to be
the drummer for the Roots. It's always going to be
an incredible DJ as well.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
That's that's my the lane that I come in with
quest Love. That that he also is a great filmmaker
and a great author. But I still see him like
he's like he's the hip hop drummer for everybody. Like
jay Z just did the picnic out there in Philly
and it was the Roots and quest Love on stage.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Back in jay Z they call Travis Barker the white
quest Love.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
People say, hey, Russ Working you watch the documentary. It's
an HBO. It's on HBO. It's that's out now. I mean,
I just enjoyed it because I enjoy the history of music,
and I also enjoy watching how a band a bunch
of people who are artistic, how they stay together, and
what they argue about and all that kind of stuff.
You know, I kind of related to what you know,
what I do here and uh, and you could see

(24:54):
the arguments amongst the band members, and they didn't he
didn't pay them all. They may he was twenty five
hundred dollars a week is all they made that whole
time that they were in that band. And he's spending millions,
and he's spending million and.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm sure he's driving the dopest cars and has the
nicest house.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
He lost it all. He lost it all. And so
when they were forced to get back together, they're like, okay, fine,
you know him and Philip Philip Bailey got along and
Philip Bailey's like, listen, I won't work for you, but
I will work with you, and we'll get the band
back together Earth Wind and Fire. And first concert they
did the thing where they lift him up out of
the stage and they come up and he's like, oh
my god, there's only four people here. They were used

(25:32):
to playing stadiums. They were used to play these huge stadiums,
and everyone had forgotten about him. Nobody cared anymore. Uh,
And so they had to kind of fight their way
back and play all these small, small venues. And then
they finally fought back to playing stadiums again.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
We're playing tax Rush. They're saying that they're coming. Earth
is going to be here in Orlando at the Kia Center.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
But it's up without where he's white, right, He's not
there he's dead, didn't he No, he's got Parkinson's. I
don't know if he passed, I don't know. Yeah, he's
got Parkinson's disease. So I don't know that he can
perform anymore. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they had like
they talked to him. White died in twenty sixteen. Oh
he did die. Yeah, Okay, so they okay, okay, maybe
that was covered in there. Yeah, yeah, it was covered
in there. I'm sorry. I know they talked to like

(26:15):
three of his kids, and he had kids with like
three different people, and you know, he was not he
wentn't a great dad. All he really loved was the
was the band, and I had a lot of stuff.
It's interesting checking out if you get a chance, if
you like that kind of music, all right, we'll take
