Hey, you're a man.

Okay.

So first of all we had to switch it up today. You know it's on something new something new. So we decided to source a comment from a black king. Okay. One of the great actors of our time Clifton Powell.

Okay. A fan ran up on him. He was on the boat shopping and the fan started recording a video of him as he was taking a picture with someone else and he said, Hey, y'all remember that nigga from woman out there.

They all lose their touch on his daughter. Hey, Clifton Powell's like, Hey, man, come on, come on. Get another movie. Get another movie.

I found it to be poignant. I found it to be timely. Sometimes you find yourself in life where you have to redirect a person's focus, right?

You have to tell people, no, no, not then now let's talk about what's now. Okay. And I like the fact that Clifton Powell actor laurette decided to

at decided to tell him, Hey, get another movie. Okay. Pick something else. Well, you go and tell a story about me. Pick my good points. So I found that so inspirational that I decided to use that as our opening this week.

There were two people backstage in glam getting their hair done. And when it was time to brush the baby hair in the front of their brains, they both said let me do it at the same time.

And then lean forward in their chairs and looked at each other for about three seconds until FK a twigs to Charlie from Queen sugar.
