Speaker 1 (00:04):
Listen, give you on Welcome to the show. One of
us in this room right now, besides your team, one
of us on this show has your phone number.

Yep, myself, Jack, your Maria's Niko Blitz, Jeff Carciata, sports dude,
Jordan behind the camera.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I do exactly you actually, can you confirm? Can you
just confirm really quick?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Don't say it loud? Okay, I'm sure he's changed it
since then. Okay, all right, Yo, gave it to you.
You gave it to him and you never returned his text.
Yo to start, But it's all love. Twenty sounds amazing,
It looks great. The video is great. Love the minimal
look to it, but it has that intent. It tells

(00:47):
a story. But with twenties. I'm sure there's an album
on the way. There's a tour on the way, right, I.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Know everything's on the way. I won't say to specific dates,
but soon. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
If you like R and B true and be music
like music, you do where it comes from. It's a
lot like comedy in the sense that it has to
come from a very honest place. For it to be
good and for it to transcend and to connect, it
has to come from almost a place of insanity or hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, that's so funny you reference comedy because that's one
of my favorite like crafts. Ever, Like even the way
I my live shows, the way I try to navigate,
I've seen it between songs. Yeah, it's like almost like
the pace of a comic, because that's how Frank Sinatra
and Dean Martin and the Rap Pack they were like,
they're actually very.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Funny, extremely funny, and they would talk to the crowd
and make them laugh in between songs, make them cry,
and make them.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Fair because it's so some of the songs are so
serious that you want to keep the emotion just like
EBB and flow, not just like yeah, because they ain't
get all dressed up to just come let that mascaret run.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
So you can see yourself doing like a Vegas residency.
How do you feel about singing competition shows?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I mean, I think any any show that displays anyone's
like talent or craft and it adds to just the
overall idea of music. It's cool because I'm pretty sure
there's a kid watching that who wants to sing now
just because they've seen that show?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Did you see yourself as a coulch or a judge?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Not right now, but I could maybe, just like I
could see it later. You're honest. Yeah, I'm gonna just
be like, but then, I'm honest, but I'm sensitive.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Most honest people are very sensitive.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, so I'm just like, I got something to tell you,
but I wouldn't want to tell them because I know
how I will react to it.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I'm saying I would be very passive about it.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Ye killing it. You get no votes
