Hey, hey now.

Hey now.

Welcome back to the podcast.

I am DeAngelo.

And I am Miss Major.

And this is The Reed.

Thank you for coming back.

It is indeed.

Thank you for coming back. We've indeed. Thank you for coming back.

We've got the usual lined up for you, starting with some Black Excellence, and we are going to be getting Black Excellence over to...

First, I'll just mention the now, unfortunately, late DeAngelo, who just just passed away I think I saw yesterday.

Yeah, R&B, soul, great, amazing voice, amazing performer, and iconic as a sex symbol.

If you don't know, you better ask somebody.

So, yeah, we're losing a lot of great artists right off the top of the year too, because

Diane Keaton did I too? And I'm like, oh, not my white auntie.

Yeah.

And Miss Majors was like a true trans icon, like a real revolutionary, like was there

the night of stonewall and everything.

If you don't know her story, you should go look it up, but she just died two days ago.

So it's just, it's been a rough week. It's like, damn, death, you really coming for everybody, but them niggas in that one house that we pointed out. Like, I feel like we were so clear. And yet you keep coming for the girls. Nobody asked you to touch. So, yeah, it's been a rough few days. The DeAngelo stuff, I mean, I just couldn't believe it.

Like, I was just, I was floored. Like, I was like, nah, y'all are lying. Like, I'm going to wait for,

like, additional confirmation, et cetera. Like, I just really could not believe that. That just blew me.
