Every single week. I love this good news that I found.
Do you remember the Whitney Houston song I Always Love You?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, it's a Dolly Partner original, but yeah, Whitney did
it for The Bodyguard I love xactly.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
So there's a Whitney Houston challenge that's spreading throughout social media.
Listen to this one part and it's that dramatic pause
and that beat that you hear before she continues on
like this is what I'm talking about. Go ahead, producer, Chris,
and play it. Wait for it, wait for it. You

(00:48):
hear that big beat.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, there's a beat. It's like a pause.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
When they created this song, it was an off kilter beat.
It was put in there a half a second before
or after where it's supposed to be. So there's this
big challenge all these years later to nail that beat.
Gymnasiums at high schools with kids trying to nail this beat,

(01:13):
and when you do, everybody explodes. But nine out of
ten times they don't what you're gonna hear. As a
little boy with down syndrome and the whole school is
cheering him on to nail this beat, Listen to what
happens and he's got a drum. Okay, go ahead, Chris,
turn it up though the cheering him on right.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
There, Listen to the crowd, the whole school, this big

(01:54):
old Whitney Houston challenge to nail that beat.

Speaker 2 (01:58):

and it's.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I mean she could do it.

Speaker 2 (02:26):

you singing at the end of the raw, So I
just think, MINDI could do it and figure it out
on social media, Minny can see better than you think.

Speaker 1 (02:35):

think that's just great. It's a great story of each
other off instead of tearing each other down, and that
