Vance 😈
Back to when you were mine.
21:10.32

21:19.24
Vance 😈
Okay, I... I just saw that episode too. That was the episode about the dancers.
21:22.63
Nandi K
So good.
21:23.80
Vance 😈
It was so funny.
21:25.55
Nandi K

21:27.59
Vance 😈
Okay. It's like the third. It's the second episode. Yeah.
21:31.01
Nandi K
Yeah. All right, what's your number one?
21:33.75
Vance 😈
All right, so I picked... Sister. It's really called Sealy's Blues, but Sister. By Suge Avery.
21:41.66
Nandi K
Wow.
21:44.00
Vance 😈
obviously it's a very like pivotal moment in the in the movie when she's like brushing her hair and she starts humming the song and then Fast forward to the juke joint scene.
21:50.20
Nandi K
mm-hmm
21:53.57
Nandi K
Listen.
21:53.75
Vance 😈
She's like. You know, I was i was having a moment. Miss Celie scratched this song out my head. She sang it. Everybody was looking to see me like, oh.
22:00.53
Nandi K
Okay.
22:02.73
Vance 😈
You know Rihanna. And then Mr. Was Mad. And then throughout the rest of the movie, the song was playing on the radio every time.
22:10.31
Nandi K
uh
22:10.89
Vance 😈
And it was like, it was Haunted Mister. And I'm just like, oh, what a beautiful song.
22:15.41
Nandi K
Oh, man.
22:15.51
Vance 😈
And it was a declaration of love.
22:15.72
Nandi K
i look Yeah, oh. You're something I hope you think that you're something too.
22:24.16
Vance 😈
Get out something too.
22:26.40
Nandi K

22:35.53
Vance 😈
uh Hmm.
22:38.60
Nandi K

22:46.47
Vance 😈
It's... It's...
22:48.99
Nandi K
Such a beautiful declaration of love. I mean, like... i don't really write songs for people i'm not that kind of a songwriter also songwriting is really hard
22:58.01
Vance 😈
Mhm. Mhm.
23:00.55
Nandi K
But man. If I ever did. Yeah, would hope it would be just like because the thing I like about Miss Celie's blues is like it's pretty short.
23:11.96
Vance 😈
Yeah, it's really short
23:13.41
Nandi K
And like the... the The words are so straight to the point.
23:19.01
Vance 😈
Mm hmm.
23:19.47

23:39.45
Vance 😈

23:55.07
Vance 😈
Yeah.
23:55.56
Nandi K
the of the play.

01:31.37
Vance 😈
Okay. Well, that's a good answer.
01:32.20
Nandi K

01:33.46
Vance 😈
Oh.
01:36.43
Vance 😈
That's fair. I mean, I guess what I mean is like in my house, it was like they they were Jehovah's Witnesses. So that rated R shit didn't fly. So they were like fiends about temptation.
01:47.12
Vance 😈
So we were at Temptation's house.
01:48.46
Nandi K
Oh. Oh, the temptation.
01:50.08

01:52.83
Vance 😈
Yes.
01:53.58
Nandi K
five heartbeats is the dirty version oh i didn't realize they seem both pretty bad to me
01:54.91
Vance 😈
Rated R. Yeah, yeah, it's the rated R. I mean, well, there's crack. So there's theres there's no sex or temptation, but there's crack.
02:02.38
Nandi K
Okay, maybe that's what I'm thinking about.
02:06.95
Vance 😈
And then there's and then there's ah drunkardness, and then there's the a little bit of DV when Paul was gripping up his girl's arm and stuff.
02:06.58
Nandi K
I see. Mm hmm.
02:13.12
Nandi K
I don't know mm-hmm
02:13.95
Vance 😈
um That's very dramatic. But I think it was because it was a TV movie. It was like PG. They were like, PG, this is fine. Um.
02:21.49
Nandi K
Yeah.
02:21.44
Vance 😈
So. i did not watch the five heartbeats until i was much older i still love it i just didn't watch it 5 000 times like i did temptations

21:41.66
Nandi K
Wow.
21:44.00
Vance 😈
obviously it's a very like pivotal moment in the in the movie when she's like brushing her hair and she starts humming the song and then Fast forward to the juke joint scene.
21:50.20
Nandi K
mm-hmm
21:53.57
Nandi K
Listen.
21:53.75
Vance 😈

22:00.53
Nandi K
Okay.
22:02.73
Vance 😈
You know Rihanna. And then Mr. Was Mad. And then throughout the rest of the movie, the song was playing on the radio every time.
22:10.31
Nandi K
uh
22:10.89
Vance 😈
And it was like, it was Haunted Mister. And I'm just like, oh, what a beautiful song.
22:15.41
Nandi K

22:15.51
Vance 😈
And it was a declaration of love.

22:46.47
Vance 😈
It's... It's...
22:48.99
Nandi K
Such a beautiful declaration of love. I mean, like... i don't really write songs for people i'm not that kind of a songwriter also songwriting is really hard
22:58.01
Vance 😈
Mhm. Mhm.
23:00.55
Nandi K
But man. If I ever did. Yeah, would hope it would be just like because the thing I like about Miss Celie's blues is like it's pretty short.
23:11.96
Vance 😈
Yeah, it's really short
23:13.41
Nandi K
And like the... the The words are so straight to the point.
