WEBVTT
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:02.160
Here we are, 2026.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.160
We have not missed a week.
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.080
We have gone through so many.
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:06.879
So hold on.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:09.839
You done said quarterly lives and quarterly meetups.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.439
Which one did you mean to say?
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:12.160
Both.
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:12.640
Oh.
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.080
You're gonna run the show.
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:15.519
So let Tay have the note.
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:15.839
Okay.
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:17.280
Nick can have the note, Tay.
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:18.879
He said, I ran the show.
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.039
Truth in the air, let it speak.
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.559
Welcome back to another episode of Creative Roots Podcast.
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.719
Like Dini said, we're seeing some become visions grown.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:32.240
I am your host, Tay.
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.560
Oh, don't nobody else want to introduce you.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.000
Well, I was waiting for y'all to say something.
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.520
I'm Dina G, the stepchild today.
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.359
Oh, there she goes.
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.679
And I'm Shamar, Tay's trusty sidekick.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:46.240
What's I am?
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:47.200
What's hecking?
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:48.159
Listen, y'all.
00:00:48.240 --> 00:01:04.319
So as y'all can see, we are back on the original set because we wanted to pay homage to this set as we are transitioning to our third set, which reminds me, I had to think about what you was talking about when you was like, how people are gonna come in.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:04.799
Mm-hmm.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.840
Yeah, that's that's cool.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.359
Oh, now now you get it.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:08.799
Two weeks later.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.120
Yeah, she said two weeks later.
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.680
No, because I forgot what I told you I wanted to use as the original set.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.680
I'll drop you a clue, Dina.
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.439
We only used it once.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:21.760
Let that one sink in.
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:22.640
Let that sink in, y'all.
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.040
Or two months when we actually go live.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.000
When we come in, I'll see it.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.000
Yes.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.560
So this set is the set that kicked everything off.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:37.200
It is.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.159
It started with Shamar and myself with the surprise episode of okay, Tay, wait, wait, wait.
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:43.519
Let's talk about you.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:44.079
Yes.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:45.439
I wasn't expecting that.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.319
I thought we were just gonna sit down, 10-minute conversation.
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.519
Hey, this is creative roots, this is what we're gonna do, this is what it's about.
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.120
Catch y'all in the next episode.
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.640
That that ain't how it went down.
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.599
But I am glad that we got that out.
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:09.919
I think Shamar's episode was a little bit longer than mine, because you know when the men get to talking, when the men get to talking, this is also the set where Dina G was introduced.
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:10.400
Yes.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.039
Oh, I was the first resident, the first residency.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.520
She was number one, y'all.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.000
We talked about her journey.
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:20.960
My bad.
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.919
I don't know if I can uh edit that out.
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.800
Yeah.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.439
Um, he's well, um, we didn't get water.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.840
You we know the Charlotte Podcast Studio provides water for every session.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.879
Where is it?
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:40.000
We provide water, a welcoming environment, a welcoming aroma.
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.039
You didn't welcome us.
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.080
We're gonna choke today.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:42.879
You didn't welcome us here.
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.000
I'd like to give a shout out to Alolo Studios.
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.599
I would like to thank us.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.960
Shout out to Charlotte Podcast Studio when they get this water back.
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.719
I would like to thank us.
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.039
And shout out to Artbox Charlotte.
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.639
Artbox Charlotte.
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.360
I would like to thank us.
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.360
I am cutting up today because I was forced.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:04.319
Can you tell?
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:05.599
Can you tell people?
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:06.719
I was forced over here.
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.000
That's why you just kidding.
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.080
Because she's put herself in the bag.
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:11.520
She didn't want to be up here with us.
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.360
You know where you're gonna be.
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.520
You pushed her seat back.
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.840
Well, honestly, I was supposed to be pulling it back a little bit closer.
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:20.879
Baby, come back to me.
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.039
Y'all, sorry, my thighs out again.
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.599
Um Taylor did a surprise recording today, you know.
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.000
I'm gonna be honest with y'all.
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.599
This was supposed to be a solo project.
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.479
I mean a solo episode, but I I can't do this by myself.
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.360
I didn't want to do this by myself.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.479
Why am I here?
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:39.840
What is my purpose?
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:46.479
Your purpose here is to help to be the sidekick, and as she said, the stepchild.
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:47.599
The stepchild.
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.960
But we do not we do not treat our stepchildren any different than we treat our normal children.
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.240
We beat them all.
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.639
So we beat them all.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:04.319
I'm glad I didn't get it.
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:05.360
I was drinking water that time.
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:06.159
That was what it was.
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:07.840
I didn't get my water.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.800
So, you know, this this set is what kicked everything off.
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:11.680
It started everything off.
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.599
You know, we had the throwing chairs in here.
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:24.800
Um we've only had two or three episodes where there was me and Shamar talking to it, talking to Mona Nisa, AC forever.
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.199
That's the only two I remember.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.560
Them the only two I remember too.
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.959
If it was anybody else, I bad.
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:32.639
We just don't remember.
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.519
Um, not saying that you wasn't important, we just don't remember.
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:47.199
Well, you know, Tay always kicks me off the set, so you know, and the crazy thing is the one interview that I wanted to do, he coerced the guest.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.560
Yes, I'm gonna use that word.
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.279
And said, I got it.
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.040
But you ain't wanted okay, and he interviewed Dina G by herself, and I think that's what on.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:58.240
I thought that was the one you were talking about.
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.040
What one you're talking about?
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.519
You said, and then I interviewed Dina G.
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:04.560
Yeah.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.319
Okay in the same day.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:12.319
So that's you you didn't tell Dina you was interviewing her, uh and then you just set up.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.199
Uh and I think that's what introduced the off-camera mic conversation.
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.839
And I think that might be the first episode we put a mic back there because no, it wasn't, but that's what made it kick off.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.000
He's like, Y'all Tay back here trying to talk.
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.639
Oh back here, he's trying to say all kinds of things.
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.399
We didn't get him no mic.
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.120
So that was fun.
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.319
My feelings are still a little hurt, but it's okay because Dina don't want to be here with us sometimes.
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:46.319
I'm being I'm I'm getting 99.99 and then carried a 0.01.
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.079
But when she here, y'all, she here.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.360
So you know I'm gonna cut it.
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:54.800
I say she in it.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:56.560
Shout out to Dina G.
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.319
Shout out to Dina G.
00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.839
Shout out to me.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:06.959
Yes, and these conversations have gotten deeper and deeper and deeper.
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:07.920
With who?
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:08.240
Us?
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:08.800
Three of us.
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:09.519
Three of us.
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:11.839
It's 2026.
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.439
We so much serious.
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:14.399
We're so much serious.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.160
It's 2025 went alone.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:28.480
As y'all recall, a lot of a lot more of the guests were just speaking about how things, their their creativity comes from like childhood trauma, adult trauma, uh, things that they've dealt with.
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.399
And it's being like, you say what?
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.120
Grief.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.519
Yes, and it's their safe space.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.439
So that's what started 2026 off with the therapist, uh, Natasha.
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.920
Shout out to Natasha, and that's what um sparked that first episode we did too.
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.279
Uh, what was it?
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:48.560
Get yourself together.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.360
Whatever the first episode was when all three of us was there.
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:52.000
Yeah.
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.920
Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about now.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.319
I forgot.
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.279
I don't remember the title.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.120
I don't remember the name of it, but we was here.
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:57.920
Were we?
00:06:58.639 --> 00:06:58.959
Yeah.
00:06:59.040 --> 00:06:59.279
Oh.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:00.319
It was the three of us.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:00.800
Okay.
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:01.519
Yeah.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:02.959
I take your word for it.
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.040
Trust me, we was here.
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.720
Did y'all miss the tee me?
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.199
No, that's the one where uh Trey responded and called me.
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.720
Uh I'm gonna ignore it, Mr.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.120
T her.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.120
Then we D bowed her into being here.
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:15.920
No, we didn't.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.279
You know they had Mr.
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.079
T Madison.
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:18.959
No.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.240
Oh, go ahead.
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.279
I don't know.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.000
Go ahead.
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:30.480
That's the episode where Trey was in the uh in the comments, if I remember correctly, and we was getting on you about turning them pictures in.
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:30.879
Yes.
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.360
That's when I was that was right after his shoot.
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:34.319
Trey Sean.
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.279
Yeah, no, not right after, because it was like two weeks later.
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.319
And she still ain't at the photo.
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.199
And Trey is like, just give her time.
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:45.759
I'm okay.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:46.480
No, dog.
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.439
That's what friends are for.
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.959
We got a standard to uphold.
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.000
That's what friends are for.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.680
And I don't think you still got them, y'all.
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:52.879
No, I'm joking.
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.639
Now that it was supposed to be an art show.
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:58.319
Now he didn't get it.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.040
It was?
00:07:59.279 --> 00:07:59.680
Yeah.
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:01.199
And there still can be.
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:01.759
Okay.
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:02.959
Just not right now.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:03.519
Okay.
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.759
Because I was gonna save that for the end.
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.680
But anyway, rolling off.
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.680
So here we are, 2026.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.600
We have not missed a week.
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:21.439
We have gone through so many different things taking place, but we have still not missed a week.
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.720
Don't plan on it either.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:23.199
Good job, yeah.
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:24.639
Good job, Tay.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.360
See, so proud of you.
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.800
Thank you, Dina G.
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.440
Proud of you too.
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.279
So, to talk about the rest of 2026, we're pretty much gonna end it the same way we did last year.
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.679
We got our Thanksgiving episodes coming up.
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.960
Um, did we do we did a Thanksgiving episode?
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:46.720
What last year?
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.759
Yeah, yeah, I remember because we had fun on that one.
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:50.639
That was a cool one.
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.000
That's when Dina introduced the world that she loved pumpkin pie.
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.320
And somebody else loved the bean pie.
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.759
And he had time to turkey with his hands.
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:03.679
That was a good episode.
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.080
I watched that when I need a good laugh.
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:06.559
Really?
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:08.720
So we did.
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.159
So we're doing a Thanksgiving episode again.
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.399
So I won't talk about some food.
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:15.600
Somebody need to bring some food.
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.559
Do y'all want me to cook?
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.200
I'll cook.
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:17.919
No.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:19.440
I can make our d'oeuvres.
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.120
Are we derbies?
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:21.360
No.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.399
And y'all don't trust me.
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:23.919
Thanksgiving.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.679
Who eats order for Thanksgiving?
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.399
You need our d'oeuvres for all the food that you're gonna eat.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:29.679
Oh wow.
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.399
I'm bringing our d'oeuvres, and they're gonna eat it.
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.080
You won't eat it on camera.
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.440
All right, so that'll be a mukbang video.
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:37.919
Yeah.
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.720
What's that?
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:39.759
A mukbang?
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.039
Where you sit on camera and eat and have conversation.
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:44.080
Just don't be.
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.320
Oh, I thought that was the ASMR stuff.
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.440
That's ASMR.
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.360
But no, mukbangs are just have eating and having conversations.
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.320
Hey, give me the date, put it on the calendar.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.120
I'm gonna have my R d'oeuvres ready that I'm gonna make.
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.720
You're gonna give us a hint to what you're making?
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.919
Do you have uh are you allergic to anything?
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:05.440
No, I just don't like tomatoes.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:05.919
Neither.
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:06.480
Oh, okay.
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:07.279
Okay.
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.200
Are you allergic to anything?
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.399
I can't do bananas.
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.720
Yeah, no strawberries, no bananas.
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.240
Strawberry, what is it?
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.240
Chocolate covered strawberries.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:18.799
Okay.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.559
I don't like chocolate-covered strawberries.
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:21.360
I got this.
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.080
I got this.
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.120
Don't get him, don't get him no strawberries for real.
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.960
I'm not gonna bring strawberries.
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:27.919
Please don't.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.000
I love strawberries, but um I'm not baking.
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.279
I'm gonna bring our d'oeuvres.
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:32.720
You want me to bake too?
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:33.360
I could bake.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.480
RV Dervies.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.240
I'm I'm bringing our bears because I've never heard these words come out of Dina's mouth.
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.000
So that's why I've never heard it either.
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.080
That's why I'm like, well, what you gonna do?
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.279
So that's why I'm saying it.
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.320
And they're gonna eat you.
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:45.360
All are gonna eat them.
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.120
Oh my.
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:48.799
Oh God.
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:50.000
I'm ready.
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.399
We got the Thanksgiving episodes.
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.360
We're gonna do the Thanksgiving, our Thanksgiving episode.
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.360
And then December 12th.
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.159
Oh, yes.
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.879
What I feel is the highlight of the year.
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.639
We're gonna live, baby.
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.000
We're gonna live.
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.919
Going live.
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:09.759
I couldn't have my own note.
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.200
Live, live.
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:12.480
Because the live is yours.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.799
So let Tay have his note because you take over.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.720
You're gonna take over me anyway.
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.000
You're gonna run the show.
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.440
So let Tay have the note.
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:19.759
Okay.
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:22.639
I ran the show.
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:24.879
I ran the show.
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.320
I I carried the show.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.200
That's the that's the word.
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:28.080
I carried the show.
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:29.200
He did carry it.
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:29.679
You know what?
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:35.039
Shout out to Shimon for carrying the show because while he was carrying it, Tay was still doing all the heavy lifting.
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:35.759
And I was playing.
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.200
He still had his pajamas.
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.919
Still had to wait on my clothes to get here.
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.200
I done sat down.
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.440
I didn't know if everything was working right.
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.679
We done started that live like three times.
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.759
You got time to get ready this year.
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:48.159
Right.
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:55.200
Especially because we having a VIP uh special ticket sale.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.120
Y'all think he got his phone this time and still butchering the city.
00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.840
That's not on here.
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:01.360
That's not on here.
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:02.240
It's not on here.
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:03.360
And I wish you could see.
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:04.799
Show the can show the camera.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.960
Yo, and he keeps scrolling, scrolling.
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:08.159
I know this is not a team.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.200
We said it wasn't gonna be a team meeting, but clearly it's about to be a team meeting.
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:11.919
It's a team meeting.
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.559
So do we word it as VIP ticket?
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.039
Because it's free admission for everybody.
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.960
If they want a sweatshirt or hoodie, is it hoodie or sweatshirt?
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.399
I think we agreed on sweatshirt.
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:31.360
So if it's a sweatshirt, why don't you just say sweatshirts available for pre-order?
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.679
Sweatshirts available for pre-order.
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.039
No, because last week's meeting, you said that the people get to come in earlier.
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:39.679
Oh, okay.
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.519
So yeah, it is a VIP experience.
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:42.720
Okay, my bad.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:43.120
You're right.
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.159
Experience, that's what I'm saying.
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.639
He didn't send out meeting minutes.
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.159
That's why we don't remember.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.919
And again, that's not here.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.879
You didn't watch the episode.
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.720
Yeah, he did because he commented, Well, we ain't getting no intro.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.759
Like, what are you talking about?
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.559
I didn't even realize that.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.919
We did not get no intro.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.679
No, it's okay.
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.519
Two minutes and 45 seconds in.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.039
I called him, like, wait a minute.
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:06.320
Where's the intro?
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.639
So we want our intro for Thanksgiving.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.960
Do y'all want an intro for this episode too?
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:11.759
It's too late.
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:12.320
Great.
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.320
No, I absolutely want an intro.
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.360
She's talking about too late.
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:16.720
We still recording.
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.279
Right.
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:18.879
He ain't even edited the shit.
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.279
Right.
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:19.919
I ain't doing it.
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.759
But he doesn't edit.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.600
I don't.
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.519
So we got the Christmas live.
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.240
The theme is home for the holidays.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.279
Just be home.
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:30.799
For Christmas.
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:31.840
Go ahead, Dina.
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:32.559
Sing it.
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:33.200
Sing it.
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.320
Put it out there.
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:44.559
Um, VIP Experience will have the uh sweatshirts available, and you can only get the sweatshirt if you get the VIP ticket.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.960
That also gives you access to the studio and us an hour early.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.399
Oh, I thought you were about to say something.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:57.840
Um, which means if you want some of the meatballs in that uh that I did not make, that is right.
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.200
Shout out to Chef Nas, because that's who made the meatballs.
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.600
Um, my bad.
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.200
Uh and then the Buffalo chicken dip, because I think that got gone.
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.799
Most of it got gone last year.
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.639
So you come in an hour early.
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:11.519
I might let y'all.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:13.120
Uh-oh.
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:19.759
If Dina making hors d'oeuvres for Thanksgiving, why Dina ain't making order for the live?
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.919
Because I have to focus on the live.
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.759
She floor manager.
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.120
The live happens after you make the hors d'oeuvres.
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.759
One one month at a time.
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.000
She does realize that's gonna be like two weeks.
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:35.519
Okay, well, I'll buy something.
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.879
I go to my favorite store.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.559
Yeah, she's gonna buy something.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.399
Yeah, and I bring that in for Christmas.
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:42.000
So, what's the difference?
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.960
What why would you be willing to make something for Thanksgiving, but you gotta buy something for Christmas?
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.320
She says she's gonna cook for us.
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:49.519
Because I be one and done.
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.960
Because I don't do all that cooking.
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:52.720
She said what and done.
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.320
Yeah, so if I'm gonna do it for next year, one time for the year, it's gonna be Thanksgiving.
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.360
It's Thanksgiving.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.720
Oh, what's that gonna get you?
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.000
Oh Answer it.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.960
Answer it.
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:07.440
Right.
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.679
I mean, it ain't like he ain't done it before.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.480
Touche.
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:12.480
Hey, what do you do, Dino?
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.000
What is hold on, my phone ringing.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.120
Hey, I gotta call you back.
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.600
I'm no I'm on the podcast.
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.000
Man, if you don't take all that extra base out of it.
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:21.039
Okay, just give me two minutes.
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:21.440
Two minutes.
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.200
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:31.519
I do not Dino.
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:33.440
I don't talk that do I talk that low?
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.080
Yes.
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.159
So like I'm be sitting right beside you.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:36.879
We can't hear you.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.159
I can't explain it.
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:38.879
See, there you go.
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.279
We can't hear you.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.200
Mastered.
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:41.840
That's why.
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.039
And like, okay, bye.
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.320
All you hear is bye.
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:44.559
Bye.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:44.960
Bye.
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.600
Because I gotta make sure that they heard me too.
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.840
That way y'all know I'm getting off the phone.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.759
Get off the phone.
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.159
So we got the Christmas episodes.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.159
That's gonna be fun.
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.159
No, we got the live.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.000
The live and then we do is Christmas.
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.759
But it's not on Thanksgiving.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.799
I mean, it's never on Thanksgiving.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.519
But it's not on Thursday this year.
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:10.159
No.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:10.799
Okay.
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:12.159
No, it's not.
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.600
But we can still do one.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.960
This is definitely a team.
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.639
We didn't have a Christmas.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.559
Did we have a Christmas?
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.120
Mm-hmm.
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.240
What did we talk about?
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:20.879
Or did we?
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.480
No, we had Thanksgiving.
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.080
And we did the live and we were done.
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:25.759
And we did a new year.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.720
Oh, yeah, we did it.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.679
We didn't do the it was the three of us.
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:31.360
Yes, it was.
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.279
Don't you know?
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:34.879
Check the receipts, Dina.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.200
That's the one that he was talking about.
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.279
I forgot the title, but it was accountability and get your stuff together.
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:42.639
Are you doing what you're supposed to do?
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.440
Stop playing.
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.080
That's what it was called.
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.360
Some little newly playing.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.320
Stop playing.
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:47.840
Yeah, so Dina, stop playing.
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.519
She sit here checking.
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.879
I I do like that though.
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:52.080
Trust but verify.
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:53.919
Verify, but we we were here.
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.600
All three of us.
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:56.159
Okay.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:56.960
Yeah.
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.279
But no, we didn't do a Christmas episode.
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.480
I think you just gave us an intro, and I just highlighted something from everybody.
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.160
I don't think I'm gonna do that this year.
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.079
That's too many weeks.
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.160
Sorry, not sorry.
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.880
My bad.
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.599
Not really.
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.720
Um but if you start working on it now, we'll be ready.
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.240
See, now you're asking for too much.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.039
Wow.
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.079
Ooh.
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.200
Oh, we don't care about our viewers.
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.279
Giving them an experience.
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.240
Right.
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.880
So this is a question.
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.440
This is a question.
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.200
Yes.
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.359
We're not gonna discuss that.
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.000
So this is um an open question.
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.640
Why do y'all feel we are still here as far as creative roots goes?
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:45.920
Why do y'all feel we still here?
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.680
Because you won't leave us alone.
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.759
Go ahead with your honest answer that you told me earlier, Dina.
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.000
Because I want to I want everybody to hear this.
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.559
I don't know what you told him earlier.
00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.920
What's your answer, Dina?
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.599
Oh, because I'm forced.
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.799
Why are you here?
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.079
Yeah, because yeah, I'm forced to be here.
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.839
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:08.559
I'm looking at right here.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.160
I'm looking right here at this center camera.
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.480
Let me know that y'all enjoy seeing these two.
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:22.880
Oh, because Shamar sitting over here talking about his face gonna be on the VIP sweatshirt, but he'll won't be on the episode.
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.079
Make that make sense, y'all.
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.799
Make that make sense.
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.079
Shamar liked to be on camera.
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:27.920
He liked to hear himself.
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:29.519
And then that red mic.
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.279
Dina, wow.
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:31.680
Right?
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.279
Talk about roasting me.
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.240
I'm right here.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:34.960
Go ahead.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:35.680
Cook it up.
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.640
That wasn't a roast.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.400
You like to talk on your red mic.
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:38.880
Yes.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.359
Yeah.
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:39.759
See?
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:40.720
Speaking of mics.
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:41.359
Keep going.
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.079
And Dina.
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.440
Oh, I was about to say, speaking of mics, a mic's still covering up her face.
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.400
But everybody loves to see Dina G when she is on this set.
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:57.359
Well, when she is here, but every time Dina's on the episode, the episode gets a whole lot of views.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.599
They love you, Dina G.
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.519
Dina, they love you.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.559
I want to create a roots.
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.440
I start to say that.
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.680
I misbehave, man.
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:11.039
I had a matcha this morning.
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:11.920
Oh my god.
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.119
I'll be good.
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:21.599
Well, yeah, we're still here because this has slowly turned into what a lot of people are called a safe space.
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.519
They feel they can come here, get things off their chests, say what they want to say, say what they need to say.
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.359
Um, some people definitely get a lot off their chest.
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:37.519
And that's why I have introduced the new question that I ask our guests at the end.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.640
Yeah, both y'all should know what the question is.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.519
Now y'all can ask me anything you want to.
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.720
Ask Shamar the question.
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.359
Ask me.
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.079
Ask me.
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.279
Or just give me something.
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:47.839
Tell me something.
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:48.880
Give him the new question.
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.359
That's what you said.
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.640
Give him the new question.
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.559
No, that was the new question.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.680
No, that's not the new question.
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:54.480
That's not the new question.
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:54.880
Uh-oh.
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.559
Oh, you're introducing a new question?
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.640
No, the question he has been asking the last.
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.480
Ask him the question so he can ask me.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.720
Clearly, I ain't watched the uh exactly.
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.240
This is what I said last week, but you gave him grace.
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.640
I did give him grace.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.160
You did, but you see what happens with grace.
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:10.799
No, no, no.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.839
I'm not be like Nori.
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.119
I'm gonna be like Nori.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:16.799
You don't remember that?
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:17.119
No.
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.119
He took back his dad from the old boy.
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.240
Oh, go find the episode so I can.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.799
Just ask him the question and make him answer it.
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.759
Here's the example.
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:26.720
Right here, right now.
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.440
You think I should?
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:27.839
I think I should.
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:28.720
I think you should.
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:29.920
Not make them, but you know.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.359
Gotta force his hand.
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.839
Because he didn't know what the question is and he haven't been watching the episodes.
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:36.799
What's up?
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.680
How's your mental?
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.359
Oh, I knew that.
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:41.920
You did.
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:42.880
I did.
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:43.759
I did.
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:44.799
I did.
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.640
I'm alright.
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.359
I'm here.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.000
I'm still here, here, here.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.920
Not giving a Tay response.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:01.359
So how are you, Tay?
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.240
Awesome.
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.599
Moving along.
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.559
We'll dive into that later.
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.359
Um, see, Dina, that threw me off.
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.480
I wasn't ready for that.
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.440
I apologize.
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.000
So 2027, right?
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.839
This is something that we talked about.
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:25.759
Some of the stuff that should have already been done, but you know, life be life, and stuff happens.
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:31.839
Um 2027, I think we should really kick off going live every quarter.
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.200
Yeah, every quarter.
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:36.640
I don't like your face.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:45.279
Um, I guess we're not going live every quarter, people.
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.880
Oh, wait a minute.
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.960
Like, so are you waiting for me to say yes, no?
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.359
No, I'm just looking at Shamar's face.
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:54.400
Oh, yeah.
00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:58.400
You be making face.
00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.839
Shamar be looking how he looks.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.240
Looking.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.640
Shamar.
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.640
He does be looking how he does.
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.079
Looking in this center camera.
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.039
Y'all see his face right now?
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.720
He do be looking how he be looking.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:08.319
You see what I'm talking about?
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:16.559
Anyway, quarterly meetups or quarterly events, meetups, um, definitely more merchandise.
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:19.359
Yeah, which one?
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:20.960
Quarterly meetups.
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.559
Maybe.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.200
Jeez.
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:24.079
Maybe.
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:25.599
Which one did you mean to say?
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.319
Both.
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:26.640
Oh.
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.240
Both of them.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.079
Or we can have a meetup every other quarter that we don't go live.
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:33.759
I have a meetup, if you will.
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:34.960
Give or take.
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.559
But when I'm saying meetup, I don't mean we cameras on.
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:40.880
We just here with the people.
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.319
Just kick it.
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:43.440
Just kick it.
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:45.279
Just kick.
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:46.640
Really, Dina?
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:48.160
You just gonna leave us?
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.519
Wow.
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:51.279
I was letting you have your note.
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:53.039
They didn't.
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.720
Um this says potential collaborations.
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.680
You wrote it.
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.480
I did.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.839
We're gonna.
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.599
I know what that means.
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.880
I'm working on some stuff.
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:09.039
Oh I'm working on some stuff.
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:27.119
Um I wouldn't mind being able to do some kind of or help with uh some kind of community outreach, like Dina mentioned with uh Shalia, being able to partner with people and things like that to I like that help give back.
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:31.119
Um because I think it is important.
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.640
We talk about community all the time.
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:42.400
We're building a community, we have a community of, in a sense, like-minded individuals because we're all creatives.
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:51.119
The majority of us are running businesses or running our own personal uh endeavors.
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:52.559
That's the word I'm gonna use today.
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.000
Sounds real good.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:24:11.839
So I would like to be able to open the door to some of these organizations and see how we can help them even if it's just them coming on the episode and talking.
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.559
Right.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:23.359
Um, I definitely want to get more people from different aspects of this creativity space.
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:31.759
Because what I realized this year and last year, but more so this year, a lot of people feel like they don't fit in here.
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:37.200
You know, they No, I just had this conversation with someone else.
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.880
So it's funny that you said it.
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.680
That's all I was, it wasn't a jail.
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:50.160
But yes, you know, they in a sense, it's like I don't feel like I should be on creative roots.
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:51.680
But this is the thing.
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:53.680
Just ask.
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.200
Because I'm not gonna lie, some people don't belong here.
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:04.880
Not with the the things that we're pushing, the the spaces that we're trying to stay within.
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:13.279
Um, I try not to mention it because Shamar got on me last year about it, but I can't, I don't want to talk to nobody talking about no bees and hoes.
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:16.640
I'm just gonna throw that out that I don't, because if we're building a community.
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:18.160
Did you say that word on here?
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:19.920
Oh, I did say hoes, didn't I?
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:21.440
And you said it again?
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.279
Scarning tool.
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:25.359
I didn't say horse.
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:27.039
Oh my god.
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.240
That's two for tape.
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:43.279
But I mean, seriously though, like this this is not your typical show when it comes to a lot of things.
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.799
And that's just how I feel about it.
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:51.519
Like, what are you doing to uplift the community to help the community grow?
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.720
That's where I'm at.
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.759
I'm gonna leave that alone.
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.880
Okay, thanks.
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.640
What y'all got?
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.519
Nothing.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.680
Um, we're waiting for the next topic.
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.440
That's all my topics.
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.359
The only thing that's left is so what do y'all want from Creative Roots?
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.720
I'm looking at this in the camera.
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.160
What do y'all want to see us do or have next year?
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.880
I'm serious.
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.960
Like, it's I told you this wasn't gonna be long.
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:15.759
Oh, okay.
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:16.880
We're almost done.
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.640
Surprise, surprise.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.759
But yeah, I just I want to know what y'all want, what y'all expect.
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:39.599
Um, you know, y'all watch the show, have y'all people reach out, reach out for y'all people, because we know a lot of people feel again, like I said, they feel like they don't belong here.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:46.960
Or like somebody was like, nah, because y'all a little fancy, and I don't think what I'm in fancy.
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:47.839
Right.
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.839
That's the question I'm asking too.
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.480
You should have invited them in there anyway.
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.920
You should have told them to come on.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:54.480
I did.
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:54.799
Okay.
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.759
Did they come?
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.559
Right.
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.039
No, got a toes out.
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:01.039
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.480
Fancy.
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:04.160
Right.
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.200
Take off his shoes and sit in rose applesauce.
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.440
You know, and I love it.
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.279
Oh, but can we curse next year?
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.960
I might, I might, um Can I get two curse words per episode?
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:28.799
No, per quarter.
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.359
Oh.
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:30.960
Cause he he would have got it.
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.480
Dina, you don't supersede that in one episode.
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:36.960
Not saying that you use a lot of profanity.
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:37.759
She don't.
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.839
But sometimes it sounds better.
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.000
Sometimes it sounds good.
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:43.519
Sometimes it sounds better.
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:44.319
Yeah, Shamar.
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.359
I needed one.
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.400
Don't put do you need to give him one right now?
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:49.759
No, I'm over it.
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.440
I'm over it.
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:02.880
But you know, um, yeah, we want to know what y'all want.
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:04.000
I have a form.
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:04.480
Huh?
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:05.759
I have an idea for you.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.240
Go ahead.
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.799
Why don't you have like a round table creative discussion?
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:17.920
Like you get like two or three creatives together and have a few, maybe three topics for the hour.
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:20.559
And for the hour.
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:21.920
Yeah, for the whole episode.
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.440
So you do three, it'll take that long for three questions and three people.
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:33.119
Like, hey, talk about your creative experience with this and have a round table so everybody can help everybody, kind of in the sense.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:34.400
I like that.
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:35.920
It just came to me.
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:37.279
She said, I like that.
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:37.839
You said that.
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.960
So we're gonna add that right.
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.799
So we're gonna add that to the list.
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:41.519
Check.
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:41.839
Check.
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.759
And you were looking for 2027.
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.279
2027.
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:56.480
So I I just feel like we can do not necessarily more, but something different next year, you know, compared to just the normal.
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:57.839
Oh, I just had another idea.
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.240
Go ahead.
00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.119
Cook it now.
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.599
But I'm not gonna, I'm not Yeah, this team meeting.
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.960
I'm not gonna say it on camera.
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.079
We're gonna save that one.
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.839
Oh, I don't want anybody to steal it.
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.160
I think it'll be a good one.
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.200
Write it down so you don't forget it.
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:12.880
Text it to us so you don't because she was.
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:13.920
I done lost my.
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.039
And I will.
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:15.839
I will.
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.119
Yeah, go ahead.
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:18.079
Text that.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:23.759
Um, on the Creative Roots website, there is a form that y'all can fill out.
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:26.079
I will link that form down below.
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:32.640
Um, that way it can give us a little bit more insight instead of y'all having to worry about commenting down below.
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:39.039
Because I know there are people that will watch and not comment, and that's okay.
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.720
Everybody supports however they feel like supporting.
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.279
But fill out the form for me.
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:46.480
Just fill out the form.
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.039
Let them know.
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.799
That's all I got for y'all today.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.960
Like, comment, and subscribe.
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:54.799
Yeah, because I don't be saying that either.
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.680
Yeah, you need to.
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:57.200
That's what you know, it helps.
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.000
It's definitely comment, subscribe.
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:00.799
Mm-hmm.
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:01.440
Yep.
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:02.079
Mm-hmm.
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:03.440
Yep, that's it.
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.880
Yep, there goes the form.
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.519
Mm-hmm.
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:06.640

So listen, y'all.
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.720
I'm gonna let uh Shamar close us out.
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:22.480
Hey, yo, I appreciate y'all tuning in.

And my own durs will be here for Thanksgiving.
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.759
We're looking for and they have to eat it on camera.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.000
Yep, and then pumpkin pie, bean pie, and sweet potato pie for Christmas.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.279

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.920
So we appreciate y'all as always for tuning in.
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:49.519
I am your boy Shamar.
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:50.960
Taste trusty sidekick.
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:54.480
I'm Dina G, the stepchild for the day.
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.839
It changes every episode.
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:59.119
It does, but okay.
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:04.000
And I'm telling thank y'all for tuning in to another episode, like Shamar said, and we are out.
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:02.160
Here we are, 2026.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.160
We have not missed a week.
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.080
We have gone through so many.
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:06.879
So hold on.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:09.839
You done said quarterly lives and quarterly meetups.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.439
Which one did you mean to say?
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:12.160
Both.
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:12.640
Oh.
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.080
You're gonna run the show.
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:15.519
So let Tay have the note.
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:15.839
Okay.
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:17.280
Nick can have the note, Tay.
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:18.879
He said, I ran the show.
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.039
Truth in the air, let it speak.
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.559
Welcome back to another episode of Creative Roots Podcast.
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.719
Like Dini said, we're seeing some become visions grown.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:32.240
I am your host, Tay.
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.560
Oh, don't nobody else want to introduce you.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.000
Well, I was waiting for y'all to say something.
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.520
I'm Dina G, the stepchild today.
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.359
Oh, there she goes.
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.679
And I'm Shamar, Tay's trusty sidekick.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:46.240
What's I am?
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:47.200
What's hecking?
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:48.159
Listen, y'all.
00:00:48.240 --> 00:01:04.319
So as y'all can see, we are back on the original set because we wanted to pay homage to this set as we are transitioning to our third set, which reminds me, I had to think about what you was talking about when you was like, how people are gonna come in.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:04.799
Mm-hmm.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.840
Yeah, that's that's cool.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.359
Oh, now now you get it.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:08.799
Two weeks later.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.120
Yeah, she said two weeks later.
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.680
No, because I forgot what I told you I wanted to use as the original set.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.680
I'll drop you a clue, Dina.
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.439
We only used it once.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:21.760
Let that one sink in.
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:22.640
Let that sink in, y'all.
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.040
Or two months when we actually go live.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.000
When we come in, I'll see it.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.000
Yes.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.560
So this set is the set that kicked everything off.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:37.200
It is.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.159
It started with Shamar and myself with the surprise episode of okay, Tay, wait, wait, wait.
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:43.519
Let's talk about you.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:44.079
Yes.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:45.439
I wasn't expecting that.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.319
I thought we were just gonna sit down, 10-minute conversation.
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.519
Hey, this is creative roots, this is what we're gonna do, this is what it's about.
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.120
Catch y'all in the next episode.
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.640
That that ain't how it went down.
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.599
But I am glad that we got that out.
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:09.919
I think Shamar's episode was a little bit longer than mine, because you know when the men get to talking, when the men get to talking, this is also the set where Dina G was introduced.
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:10.400
Yes.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.039
Oh, I was the first resident, the first residency.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.520
She was number one, y'all.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.000
We talked about her journey.
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:20.960
My bad.
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.919
I don't know if I can uh edit that out.
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.800
Yeah.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.439
Um, he's well, um, we didn't get water.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.840
You we know the Charlotte Podcast Studio provides water for every session.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.879
Where is it?
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:40.000
We provide water, a welcoming environment, a welcoming aroma.
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.039
You didn't welcome us.
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.080
We're gonna choke today.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:42.879
You didn't welcome us here.
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.000
I'd like to give a shout out to Alolo Studios.
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.599
I would like to thank us.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.960
Shout out to Charlotte Podcast Studio when they get this water back.
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.719
I would like to thank us.
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.039
And shout out to Artbox Charlotte.
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.639
Artbox Charlotte.
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.360
I would like to thank us.
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.360
I am cutting up today because I was forced.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:04.319
Can you tell?
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:05.599
Can you tell people?
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:06.719
I was forced over here.
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.000
That's why you just kidding.
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.080
Because she's put herself in the bag.
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:11.520
She didn't want to be up here with us.
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.360
You know where you're gonna be.
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.520
You pushed her seat back.
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.840
Well, honestly, I was supposed to be pulling it back a little bit closer.
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:20.879
Baby, come back to me.
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.039
Y'all, sorry, my thighs out again.
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.599
Um Taylor did a surprise recording today, you know.
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.000
I'm gonna be honest with y'all.
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.599
This was supposed to be a solo project.
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.479
I mean a solo episode, but I I can't do this by myself.
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.360
I didn't want to do this by myself.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.479
Why am I here?
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:39.840
What is my purpose?
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:46.479
Your purpose here is to help to be the sidekick, and as she said, the stepchild.
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:47.599
The stepchild.
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.960
But we do not we do not treat our stepchildren any different than we treat our normal children.
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.240
We beat them all.
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.639
So we beat them all.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:04.319
I'm glad I didn't get it.
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:05.360
I was drinking water that time.
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:06.159
That was what it was.
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:07.840
I didn't get my water.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.800
So, you know, this this set is what kicked everything off.
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:11.680
It started everything off.
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.599
You know, we had the throwing chairs in here.
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:24.800
Um we've only had two or three episodes where there was me and Shamar talking to it, talking to Mona Nisa, AC forever.
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.199
That's the only two I remember.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.560
Them the only two I remember too.
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.959
If it was anybody else, I bad.
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:32.639
We just don't remember.
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.519
Um, not saying that you wasn't important, we just don't remember.
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:47.199
Well, you know, Tay always kicks me off the set, so you know, and the crazy thing is the one interview that I wanted to do, he coerced the guest.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.560
Yes, I'm gonna use that word.
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.279
And said, I got it.
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.040
But you ain't wanted okay, and he interviewed Dina G by herself, and I think that's what on.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:58.240
I thought that was the one you were talking about.
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.040
What one you're talking about?
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.519
You said, and then I interviewed Dina G.
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:04.560
Yeah.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.319
Okay in the same day.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:12.319
So that's you you didn't tell Dina you was interviewing her, uh and then you just set up.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.199
Uh and I think that's what introduced the off-camera mic conversation.
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.839
And I think that might be the first episode we put a mic back there because no, it wasn't, but that's what made it kick off.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.000
He's like, Y'all Tay back here trying to talk.
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.639
Oh back here, he's trying to say all kinds of things.
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.399
We didn't get him no mic.
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.120
So that was fun.
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.319
My feelings are still a little hurt, but it's okay because Dina don't want to be here with us sometimes.
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:46.319
I'm being I'm I'm getting 99.99 and then carried a 0.01.
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.079
But when she here, y'all, she here.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.360
So you know I'm gonna cut it.
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:54.800
I say she in it.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:56.560
Shout out to Dina G.
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.319
Shout out to Dina G.
00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.839
Shout out to me.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:06.959
Yes, and these conversations have gotten deeper and deeper and deeper.
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:07.920
With who?
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:08.240
Us?
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:08.800
Three of us.
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:09.519
Three of us.
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:11.839
It's 2026.
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.439
We so much serious.
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:14.399
We're so much serious.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.160
It's 2025 went alone.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:28.480
As y'all recall, a lot of a lot more of the guests were just speaking about how things, their their creativity comes from like childhood trauma, adult trauma, uh, things that they've dealt with.
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.399
And it's being like, you say what?
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.120
Grief.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.519
Yes, and it's their safe space.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.439
So that's what started 2026 off with the therapist, uh, Natasha.
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.920
Shout out to Natasha, and that's what um sparked that first episode we did too.
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.279
Uh, what was it?
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:48.560
Get yourself together.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.360
Whatever the first episode was when all three of us was there.
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:52.000
Yeah.
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.920
Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about now.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.319
I forgot.
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.279
I don't remember the title.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.120
I don't remember the name of it, but we was here.
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:57.920
Were we?
00:06:58.639 --> 00:06:58.959
Yeah.
00:06:59.040 --> 00:06:59.279
Oh.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:00.319
It was the three of us.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:00.800
Okay.
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:01.519
Yeah.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:02.959
I take your word for it.
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.040
Trust me, we was here.
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.720
Did y'all miss the tee me?
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.199
No, that's the one where uh Trey responded and called me.
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.720
Uh I'm gonna ignore it, Mr.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.120
T her.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.120
Then we D bowed her into being here.
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:15.920
No, we didn't.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.279
You know they had Mr.
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.079
T Madison.
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:18.959
No.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.240
Oh, go ahead.
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.279
I don't know.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.000
Go ahead.
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:30.480
That's the episode where Trey was in the uh in the comments, if I remember correctly, and we was getting on you about turning them pictures in.
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:30.879
Yes.
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.360
That's when I was that was right after his shoot.
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:34.319
Trey Sean.
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.279
Yeah, no, not right after, because it was like two weeks later.
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.319
And she still ain't at the photo.
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.199
And Trey is like, just give her time.
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:45.759
I'm okay.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:46.480
No, dog.
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.439
That's what friends are for.
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.959
We got a standard to uphold.
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.000
That's what friends are for.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.680
And I don't think you still got them, y'all.
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:52.879
No, I'm joking.
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.639
Now that it was supposed to be an art show.
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:58.319
Now he didn't get it.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.040
It was?
00:07:59.279 --> 00:07:59.680
Yeah.
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:01.199
And there still can be.
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:01.759
Okay.
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:02.959
Just not right now.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:03.519
Okay.
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.759
Because I was gonna save that for the end.
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.680
But anyway, rolling off.
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.680
So here we are, 2026.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.600
We have not missed a week.
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:21.439
We have gone through so many different things taking place, but we have still not missed a week.
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.720
Don't plan on it either.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:23.199
Good job, yeah.
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:24.639
Good job, Tay.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.360
See, so proud of you.
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.800
Thank you, Dina G.
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.440
Proud of you too.
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.279
So, to talk about the rest of 2026, we're pretty much gonna end it the same way we did last year.
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.679
We got our Thanksgiving episodes coming up.
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.960
Um, did we do we did a Thanksgiving episode?
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:46.720
What last year?
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.759
Yeah, yeah, I remember because we had fun on that one.
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:50.639
That was a cool one.
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.000
That's when Dina introduced the world that she loved pumpkin pie.
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.320
And somebody else loved the bean pie.
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.759
And he had time to turkey with his hands.
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:03.679
That was a good episode.
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.080
I watched that when I need a good laugh.
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:06.559
Really?
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:08.720
So we did.
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.159
So we're doing a Thanksgiving episode again.
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.399
So I won't talk about some food.
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:15.600
Somebody need to bring some food.
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.559
Do y'all want me to cook?
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.200
I'll cook.
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:17.919
No.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:19.440
I can make our d'oeuvres.
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.120
Are we derbies?
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:21.360
No.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.399
And y'all don't trust me.
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:23.919
Thanksgiving.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.679
Who eats order for Thanksgiving?
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.399
You need our d'oeuvres for all the food that you're gonna eat.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:29.679
Oh wow.
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.399
I'm bringing our d'oeuvres, and they're gonna eat it.
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.080
You won't eat it on camera.
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.440
All right, so that'll be a mukbang video.
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:37.919
Yeah.
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.720
What's that?
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:39.759
A mukbang?
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.039
Where you sit on camera and eat and have conversation.
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:44.080
Just don't be.
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.320
Oh, I thought that was the ASMR stuff.
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.440
That's ASMR.
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.360
But no, mukbangs are just have eating and having conversations.
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.320
Hey, give me the date, put it on the calendar.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.120
I'm gonna have my R d'oeuvres ready that I'm gonna make.
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.720
You're gonna give us a hint to what you're making?
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.919
Do you have uh are you allergic to anything?
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:05.440
No, I just don't like tomatoes.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:05.919
Neither.
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:06.480
Oh, okay.
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:07.279
Okay.
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.200
Are you allergic to anything?
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.399
I can't do bananas.
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.720
Yeah, no strawberries, no bananas.
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.240
Strawberry, what is it?
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.240
Chocolate covered strawberries.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:18.799
Okay.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.559
I don't like chocolate-covered strawberries.
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:21.360
I got this.
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.080
I got this.
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.120
Don't get him, don't get him no strawberries for real.
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.960
I'm not gonna bring strawberries.
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:27.919
Please don't.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.000
I love strawberries, but um I'm not baking.
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.279
I'm gonna bring our d'oeuvres.
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:32.720
You want me to bake too?
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:33.360
I could bake.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.480
RV Dervies.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.240
I'm I'm bringing our bears because I've never heard these words come out of Dina's mouth.
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.000
So that's why I've never heard it either.
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.080
That's why I'm like, well, what you gonna do?
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.279
So that's why I'm saying it.
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.320
And they're gonna eat you.
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:45.360
All are gonna eat them.
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.120
Oh my.
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:48.799
Oh God.
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:50.000
I'm ready.
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.399
We got the Thanksgiving episodes.
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.360
We're gonna do the Thanksgiving, our Thanksgiving episode.
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.360
And then December 12th.
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.159
Oh, yes.
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.879
What I feel is the highlight of the year.
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.639
We're gonna live, baby.
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.000
We're gonna live.
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.919
Going live.
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:09.759
I couldn't have my own note.
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.200
Live, live.
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:12.480
Because the live is yours.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.799
So let Tay have his note because you take over.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.720
You're gonna take over me anyway.
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.000
You're gonna run the show.
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.440
So let Tay have the note.
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:19.759
Okay.
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:22.639
I ran the show.
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:24.879
I ran the show.
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.320
I I carried the show.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.200
That's the that's the word.
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:28.080
I carried the show.
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:29.200
He did carry it.
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:29.679
You know what?
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:35.039
Shout out to Shimon for carrying the show because while he was carrying it, Tay was still doing all the heavy lifting.
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:35.759
And I was playing.
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.200
He still had his pajamas.
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.919
Still had to wait on my clothes to get here.
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.200
I done sat down.
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.440
I didn't know if everything was working right.
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.679
We done started that live like three times.
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.759
You got time to get ready this year.
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:48.159
Right.
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:55.200
Especially because we having a VIP uh special ticket sale.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.120
Y'all think he got his phone this time and still butchering the city.
00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.840
That's not on here.
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:01.360
That's not on here.
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:02.240
It's not on here.
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:03.360
And I wish you could see.
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:04.799
Show the can show the camera.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.960
Yo, and he keeps scrolling, scrolling.
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:08.159
I know this is not a team.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.200
We said it wasn't gonna be a team meeting, but clearly it's about to be a team meeting.
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:11.919
It's a team meeting.
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.559
So do we word it as VIP ticket?
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.039
Because it's free admission for everybody.
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.960
If they want a sweatshirt or hoodie, is it hoodie or sweatshirt?
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.399
I think we agreed on sweatshirt.
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:31.360
So if it's a sweatshirt, why don't you just say sweatshirts available for pre-order?
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.679
Sweatshirts available for pre-order.
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.039
No, because last week's meeting, you said that the people get to come in earlier.
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:39.679
Oh, okay.
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.519
So yeah, it is a VIP experience.
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:42.720
Okay, my bad.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:43.120
You're right.
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.159
Experience, that's what I'm saying.
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.639
He didn't send out meeting minutes.
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.159
That's why we don't remember.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.919
And again, that's not here.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.879
You didn't watch the episode.
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.720
Yeah, he did because he commented, Well, we ain't getting no intro.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.759
Like, what are you talking about?
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.559
I didn't even realize that.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.919
We did not get no intro.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.679
No, it's okay.
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.519
Two minutes and 45 seconds in.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.039
I called him, like, wait a minute.
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:06.320
Where's the intro?
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.639
So we want our intro for Thanksgiving.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.960
Do y'all want an intro for this episode too?
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:11.759
It's too late.
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:12.320
Great.
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.320
No, I absolutely want an intro.
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.360
She's talking about too late.
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:16.720
We still recording.
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.279
Right.
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:18.879
He ain't even edited the shit.
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.279
Right.
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:19.919
I ain't doing it.
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.759
But he doesn't edit.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.600
I don't.
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.519
So we got the Christmas live.
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.240
The theme is home for the holidays.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.279
Just be home.
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:30.799
For Christmas.
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:31.840
Go ahead, Dina.
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:32.559
Sing it.
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:33.200
Sing it.
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.320
Put it out there.
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:44.559
Um, VIP Experience will have the uh sweatshirts available, and you can only get the sweatshirt if you get the VIP ticket.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.960
That also gives you access to the studio and us an hour early.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.399
Oh, I thought you were about to say something.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:57.840
Um, which means if you want some of the meatballs in that uh that I did not make, that is right.
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.200
Shout out to Chef Nas, because that's who made the meatballs.
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.600
Um, my bad.
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.200
Uh and then the Buffalo chicken dip, because I think that got gone.
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.799
Most of it got gone last year.
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.639
So you come in an hour early.
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:11.519
I might let y'all.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:13.120
Uh-oh.
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:19.759
If Dina making hors d'oeuvres for Thanksgiving, why Dina ain't making order for the live?
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.919
Because I have to focus on the live.
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.759
She floor manager.
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.120
The live happens after you make the hors d'oeuvres.
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.759
One one month at a time.
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.000
She does realize that's gonna be like two weeks.
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:35.519
Okay, well, I'll buy something.
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.879
I go to my favorite store.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.559
Yeah, she's gonna buy something.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.399
Yeah, and I bring that in for Christmas.
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:42.000
So, what's the difference?
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.960
What why would you be willing to make something for Thanksgiving, but you gotta buy something for Christmas?
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.320
She says she's gonna cook for us.
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:49.519
Because I be one and done.
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.960
Because I don't do all that cooking.
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:52.720
She said what and done.
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.320
Yeah, so if I'm gonna do it for next year, one time for the year, it's gonna be Thanksgiving.
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.360
It's Thanksgiving.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.720
Oh, what's that gonna get you?
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.000
Oh Answer it.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.960
Answer it.
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:07.440
Right.
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.679
I mean, it ain't like he ain't done it before.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.480
Touche.
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:12.480
Hey, what do you do, Dino?
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.000
What is hold on, my phone ringing.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.120

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:21.039
Okay, just give me two minutes.
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:21.440
Two minutes.

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.080
Yes.
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.159
So like I'm be sitting right beside you.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:36.879
We can't hear you.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.159
I can't explain it.
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:38.879
See, there you go.
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.279
We can't hear you.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.200
Mastered.
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:41.840
That's why.
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.039
And like, okay, bye.
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.320
All you hear is bye.
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:44.559
Bye.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:44.960
Bye.
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.600
Because I gotta make sure that they heard me too.
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.840
That way y'all know I'm getting off the phone.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.759
Get off the phone.
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.159
So we got the Christmas episodes.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.159
That's gonna be fun.
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.159
No, we got the live.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.000
The live and then we do is Christmas.
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.759
But it's not on Thanksgiving.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.799
I mean, it's never on Thanksgiving.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.519
But it's not on Thursday this year.
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:10.159
No.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:10.799
Okay.
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:12.159
No, it's not.
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.600
But we can still do one.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.960
This is definitely a team.
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.639
We didn't have a Christmas.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.559
Did we have a Christmas?
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.120
Mm-hmm.
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.240
What did we talk about?
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:20.879
Or did we?
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.480
No, we had Thanksgiving.
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.080
And we did the live and we were done.
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:25.759
And we did a new year.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.720
Oh, yeah, we did it.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.679
We didn't do the it was the three of us.
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:31.360
Yes, it was.
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.279
Don't you know?
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:34.879
Check the receipts, Dina.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.200
That's the one that he was talking about.
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.279
I forgot the title, but it was accountability and get your stuff together.
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:42.639
Are you doing what you're supposed to do?
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.440
Stop playing.
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.080
That's what it was called.
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.360
Some little newly playing.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.320
Stop playing.
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:47.840
Yeah, so Dina, stop playing.
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.519
She sit here checking.
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.879
I I do like that though.
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:52.080
Trust but verify.
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:53.919
Verify, but we we were here.
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.600
All three of us.
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:56.159
Okay.
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:56.960
Yeah.
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.279
But no, we didn't do a Christmas episode.
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.480
I think you just gave us an intro, and I just highlighted something from everybody.
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.160
I don't think I'm gonna do that this year.
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.079
That's too many weeks.
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.160
Sorry, not sorry.
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.880
My bad.
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.599
Not really.
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.720
Um but if you start working on it now, we'll be ready.
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.240
See, now you're asking for too much.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.039
Wow.
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.079
Ooh.
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.200
Oh, we don't care about our viewers.
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.279
Giving them an experience.
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.240
Right.
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.880
So this is a question.
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.440
This is a question.
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.200
Yes.
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.359
We're not gonna discuss that.
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.000
So this is um an open question.
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.640
Why do y'all feel we are still here as far as creative roots goes?
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:45.920
Why do y'all feel we still here?
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.680
Because you won't leave us alone.
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.759
Go ahead with your honest answer that you told me earlier, Dina.
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.000
Because I want to I want everybody to hear this.
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.559
I don't know what you told him earlier.
00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.920
What's your answer, Dina?
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.599
Oh, because I'm forced.
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.799
Why are you here?
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.079
Yeah, because yeah, I'm forced to be here.
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.839
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:08.559
I'm looking at right here.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.160
I'm looking right here at this center camera.
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.480
Let me know that y'all enjoy seeing these two.
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:22.880
Oh, because Shamar sitting over here talking about his face gonna be on the VIP sweatshirt, but he'll won't be on the episode.
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.079
Make that make sense, y'all.
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.799
Make that make sense.
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.079
Shamar liked to be on camera.
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:27.920
He liked to hear himself.
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:29.519
And then that red mic.
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.279
Dina, wow.
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:31.680
Right?
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.279
Talk about roasting me.
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.240
I'm right here.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:34.960
Go ahead.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:35.680
Cook it up.
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.640
That wasn't a roast.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.400
You like to talk on your red mic.
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:38.880
Yes.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.359
Yeah.
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:39.759
See?
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:40.720
Speaking of mics.
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:41.359
Keep going.
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.079
And Dina.
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.440
Oh, I was about to say, speaking of mics, a mic's still covering up her face.
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.400
But everybody loves to see Dina G when she is on this set.
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:57.359
Well, when she is here, but every time Dina's on the episode, the episode gets a whole lot of views.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.599
They love you, Dina G.
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.519
Dina, they love you.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.559
I want to create a roots.
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.440
I start to say that.
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.680
I misbehave, man.
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:11.039
I had a matcha this morning.
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:11.920
Oh my god.
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.119
I'll be good.
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:21.599
Well, yeah, we're still here because this has slowly turned into what a lot of people are called a safe space.
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.519
They feel they can come here, get things off their chests, say what they want to say, say what they need to say.
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.359
Um, some people definitely get a lot off their chest.
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:37.519
And that's why I have introduced the new question that I ask our guests at the end.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.640
Yeah, both y'all should know what the question is.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.519
Now y'all can ask me anything you want to.
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.720
Ask Shamar the question.
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.359
Ask me.
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.079
Ask me.
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.279
Or just give me something.
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:47.839
Tell me something.
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:48.880
Give him the new question.
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.359
That's what you said.
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.640
Give him the new question.
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.559
No, that was the new question.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.680
No, that's not the new question.
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:54.480
That's not the new question.
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:54.880
Uh-oh.
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.559
Oh, you're introducing a new question?
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.640
No, the question he has been asking the last.
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.480
Ask him the question so he can ask me.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.720
Clearly, I ain't watched the uh exactly.
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.240
This is what I said last week, but you gave him grace.
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.640
I did give him grace.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.160
You did, but you see what happens with grace.
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:10.799
No, no, no.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.839
I'm not be like Nori.
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.119
I'm gonna be like Nori.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:16.799
You don't remember that?
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:17.119
No.
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.119
He took back his dad from the old boy.
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.240
Oh, go find the episode so I can.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.799
Just ask him the question and make him answer it.
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.759
Here's the example.
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:26.720
Right here, right now.
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.440
You think I should?
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:27.839
I think I should.
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:28.720
I think you should.
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:29.920
Not make them, but you know.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.359
Gotta force his hand.
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.839
Because he didn't know what the question is and he haven't been watching the episodes.
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:36.799
What's up?
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.680
How's your mental?
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.359
Oh, I knew that.
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:41.920
You did.
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:42.880
I did.
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:43.759
I did.
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:44.799
I did.
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.640
I'm alright.
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.359
I'm here.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.000
I'm still here, here, here.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.920
Not giving a Tay response.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:01.359
So how are you, Tay?
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.240
Awesome.
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.599
Moving along.
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.559
We'll dive into that later.
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.359
Um, see, Dina, that threw me off.
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.480
I wasn't ready for that.
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.440
I apologize.
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.000
So 2027, right?
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.839
This is something that we talked about.
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:25.759
Some of the stuff that should have already been done, but you know, life be life, and stuff happens.
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:31.839
Um 2027, I think we should really kick off going live every quarter.
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.200
Yeah, every quarter.
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:36.640
I don't like your face.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:45.279
Um, I guess we're not going live every quarter, people.
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.880
Oh, wait a minute.
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.960
Like, so are you waiting for me to say yes, no?
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.359
No, I'm just looking at Shamar's face.
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:54.400
Oh, yeah.
00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:58.400
You be making face.
00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.839
Shamar be looking how he looks.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.240
Looking.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.640
Shamar.
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.640
He does be looking how he does.
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.079
Looking in this center camera.
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.039
Y'all see his face right now?
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.720
He do be looking how he be looking.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:08.319
You see what I'm talking about?
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:16.559
Anyway, quarterly meetups or quarterly events, meetups, um, definitely more merchandise.
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:19.359
Yeah, which one?
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:20.960
Quarterly meetups.
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.559
Maybe.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.200
Jeez.
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:24.079
Maybe.
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:25.599
Which one did you mean to say?
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.319
Both.
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:26.640
Oh.
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.240
Both of them.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.079
Or we can have a meetup every other quarter that we don't go live.
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:33.759
I have a meetup, if you will.
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:34.960
Give or take.
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.559
But when I'm saying meetup, I don't mean we cameras on.
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:40.880
We just here with the people.
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.319
Just kick it.
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:43.440
Just kick it.
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:45.279
Just kick.
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:46.640
Really, Dina?
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:48.160
You just gonna leave us?
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.519
Wow.
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:51.279
I was letting you have your note.
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:53.039
They didn't.
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.720
Um this says potential collaborations.
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.680
You wrote it.
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.480
I did.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.839
We're gonna.
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.599
I know what that means.
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.880
I'm working on some stuff.
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:09.039
Oh I'm working on some stuff.
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:27.119
Um I wouldn't mind being able to do some kind of or help with uh some kind of community outreach, like Dina mentioned with uh Shalia, being able to partner with people and things like that to I like that help give back.
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:31.119
Um because I think it is important.
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.640
We talk about community all the time.
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:42.400
We're building a community, we have a community of, in a sense, like-minded individuals because we're all creatives.
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:51.119
The majority of us are running businesses or running our own personal uh endeavors.
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:52.559
That's the word I'm gonna use today.
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.000
Sounds real good.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:24:11.839
So I would like to be able to open the door to some of these organizations and see how we can help them even if it's just them coming on the episode and talking.
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.559
Right.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:23.359
Um, I definitely want to get more people from different aspects of this creativity space.
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:31.759
Because what I realized this year and last year, but more so this year, a lot of people feel like they don't fit in here.
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:37.200
You know, they No, I just had this conversation with someone else.
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.880
So it's funny that you said it.
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.680
That's all I was, it wasn't a jail.
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:50.160
But yes, you know, they in a sense, it's like I don't feel like I should be on creative roots.
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:51.680
But this is the thing.
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:53.680
Just ask.
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.200
Because I'm not gonna lie, some people don't belong here.
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:04.880
Not with the the things that we're pushing, the the spaces that we're trying to stay within.
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:13.279
Um, I try not to mention it because Shamar got on me last year about it, but I can't, I don't want to talk to nobody talking about no bees and hoes.
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:16.640
I'm just gonna throw that out that I don't, because if we're building a community.
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:18.160
Did you say that word on here?
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:19.920
Oh, I did say hoes, didn't I?
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:21.440
And you said it again?
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.279
Scarning tool.
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:25.359
I didn't say horse.
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:27.039
Oh my god.
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.240
That's two for tape.
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:43.279
But I mean, seriously though, like this this is not your typical show when it comes to a lot of things.
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.799
And that's just how I feel about it.
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:51.519
Like, what are you doing to uplift the community to help the community grow?
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.720
That's where I'm at.
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.759
I'm gonna leave that alone.
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.880
Okay, thanks.
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.640
What y'all got?
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.519
Nothing.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.680
Um, we're waiting for the next topic.
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.440
That's all my topics.
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.359
The only thing that's left is so what do y'all want from Creative Roots?
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.720
I'm looking at this in the camera.
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.160
What do y'all want to see us do or have next year?
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.880
I'm serious.
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.960
Like, it's I told you this wasn't gonna be long.
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:15.759
Oh, okay.
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:16.880
We're almost done.
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.640
Surprise, surprise.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.759
But yeah, I just I want to know what y'all want, what y'all expect.
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:39.599
Um, you know, y'all watch the show, have y'all people reach out, reach out for y'all people, because we know a lot of people feel again, like I said, they feel like they don't belong here.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:46.960
Or like somebody was like, nah, because y'all a little fancy, and I don't think what I'm in fancy.
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:47.839
Right.
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.839
That's the question I'm asking too.
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.480
You should have invited them in there anyway.
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.920
You should have told them to come on.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:54.480
I did.
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:54.799
Okay.
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.759
Did they come?
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.559
Right.
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.039
No, got a toes out.
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:01.039
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.480
Fancy.
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:04.160
Right.
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.200
Take off his shoes and sit in rose applesauce.
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.440
You know, and I love it.
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.279
Oh, but can we curse next year?
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.960
I might, I might, um Can I get two curse words per episode?
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:28.799
No, per quarter.
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.359
Oh.
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:30.960
Cause he he would have got it.
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.480
Dina, you don't supersede that in one episode.
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:36.960
Not saying that you use a lot of profanity.
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:37.759
She don't.
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.839
But sometimes it sounds better.
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.000
Sometimes it sounds good.
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:43.519
Sometimes it sounds better.
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:44.319
Yeah, Shamar.
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.359
I needed one.
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.400
Don't put do you need to give him one right now?
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:49.759
No, I'm over it.
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.440
I'm over it.
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:02.880
But you know, um, yeah, we want to know what y'all want.
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:04.000
I have a form.
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:04.480
Huh?
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:05.759
I have an idea for you.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.240
Go ahead.
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.799
Why don't you have like a round table creative discussion?
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:17.920
Like you get like two or three creatives together and have a few, maybe three topics for the hour.
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:20.559
And for the hour.
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:21.920
Yeah, for the whole episode.
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.440
So you do three, it'll take that long for three questions and three people.
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:33.119
Like, hey, talk about your creative experience with this and have a round table so everybody can help everybody, kind of in the sense.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:34.400
I like that.
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:35.920
It just came to me.
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:37.279
She said, I like that.
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:37.839
You said that.
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.960
So we're gonna add that right.
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.799
So we're gonna add that to the list.
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:41.519
Check.
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:41.839
Check.
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.759
And you were looking for 2027.
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.279
2027.
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:56.480
So I I just feel like we can do not necessarily more, but something different next year, you know, compared to just the normal.
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:57.839
Oh, I just had another idea.
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.240
Go ahead.
00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.119
Cook it now.
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.599
But I'm not gonna, I'm not Yeah, this team meeting.
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.960
I'm not gonna say it on camera.
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.079
We're gonna save that one.
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.839
Oh, I don't want anybody to steal it.
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.160
I think it'll be a good one.
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.200
Write it down so you don't forget it.
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:12.880
Text it to us so you don't because she was.
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:13.920
I done lost my.
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.039
And I will.
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:15.839
I will.
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.119
Yeah, go ahead.
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:18.079
Text that.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:23.759
Um, on the Creative Roots website, there is a form that y'all can fill out.
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:26.079
I will link that form down below.
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:32.640
Um, that way it can give us a little bit more insight instead of y'all having to worry about commenting down below.
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:39.039
Because I know there are people that will watch and not comment, and that's okay.
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.720
Everybody supports however they feel like supporting.
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.279
But fill out the form for me.
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:46.480
Just fill out the form.
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.039
Let them know.
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.799
That's all I got for y'all today.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.960
Like, comment, and subscribe.
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:54.799
Yeah, because I don't be saying that either.
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.680
Yeah, you need to.
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:57.200
That's what you know, it helps.
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.000
It's definitely comment, subscribe.
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:00.799

Yep.
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:02.079
Mm-hmm.

Yep, that's it.
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.880
Yep, there goes the form.
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.519
Mm-hmm.

So listen, y'all.
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.720
I'm gonna let uh Shamar close us out.
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:22.480
Hey, yo, I appreciate y'all tuning in.
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:30.400

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.640
And my own durs will be here for Thanksgiving.
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.759
We're looking for and they have to eat it on camera.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.000
Yep, and then pumpkin pie, bean pie, and sweet potato pie for Christmas.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.279

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.920
So we appreciate y'all as always for tuning in.

Taste trusty sidekick.
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:54.480
I'm Dina G, the stepchild for the day.
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.839
It changes every episode.
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:59.119
It does, but okay.
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:04.000
And I'm telling thank y'all for tuning in to another episode, like Shamar said, and we are out.
