Hey, everyone. Welcome to Watching the Throne. A lyrical... Hold on. Lyrical? A garbled nonsense analysis of Kanye West.

Yeah, this is a little out of the ordinary. My name is Chris Lambert. My name is Travis Bean, and

it is out of the ordinary, and there's probably some things we're going to end up complaining

about, but I have to say tonight was a special night to be a Connie fan.

Absolutely.

So you can see over Travis's, well, if you're watching like the podcast or the YouTube

version, there's the Mercedes-Benz logo shining in the window over our shoulder. That's because

we are currently in Atlanta for the Kanye Donda listening party. We are within like a thousand

feet of Kanye. Yeah, who's still there. He's definitely there. He's definitely there. And I think

he's maybe a little mad.

Yeah, he seemed, I mean, it's hard to tell because he had a mask on, but we sensed anger.

The body language.

The body language.

So, okay, this listening party, it was amazing on the one hand, because this stadium fits 70,000 people, and it was mostly filled just the top ring like the third level wasn't full of people but all the first all the second level so we're talking like 20,000

people it felt like 30,000 more it was a huge stadium full of people and all Kanye fans. Yeah, right. So there was an

amazing energy in this place and it was great for us just to be able to see so many Kanye fans,

like just have people excited about Kanye. Which isn't typical. Like usually if I tell someone I like

Kanye, it's like, you do? And like I have to explain explain why I do. Which, there was no defense. It was just like, I love Kanye. Yeah. Let's talk. And that was fun, like all day leading up to the events, like seeing everybody hyped over the merch. People actually, like, knowing who we are, mostly knowing who you are, but like sometimes you're the other,

I'm like, yeah, that's me.

Yeah.

I liked when they'd be like, hey, could you take the picture? Yeah. I don't mind that. If I don't have to be in a photo, I'm okay. But it was great, like getting to meet so many of you, and I'm sure some of you are watching this right now that we got to meet, hey. and then getting into the stadium, there was just this amazing energy.

It was like kind of breathtaking.
