For that little show, I don't know your woes, you won now, brother. You should be doomed. All right, George, if you want to recheck, man, by all means, it's all you, man. I like a collective flavor as well. I have everything in my playlist from the Commodores to two live crew. Bob James to Bobby Brown to New Edition, even Fletcher Henderson from the 1930s, Sidney Bechet, maybe a little bit of Louis Armstrong, although I honestly can't stand him, maybe a little Count Basie, I have oldies I like everything from the Moonglows to the Drifters the OJ's and I do like old hip-hop and the era you're talking about with Wu Tang and the rest of it is what some people call the golden age of hip-hop because it just doesn't happen again the era of sampling beats that was my favorite now people try to make beats and it's just garbage but one thing a phrase that I never understood that came out of the 90s into the 2000s and there's variations of it now when somebody says they're keeping it real. Why wouldn't you keep it real all the time? Why do you have to say that that's what you're doing? Because now you're giving people, you could add to that, like Chris Walk would say, yeah keeping it real stupid, real dumb, right? And then people now say I'm keeping it 100, I'm keeping it 1000. Why do you have to say that at all now I know sometimes younger kids when they make points if they want to emphasize the point they often say real talk so those people have me sometimes doing that but why do you have to say that at all how about just getting it right once how about the first draft that was another thing that came out of rap that I didn't understand when you swear on vinyl and then you have to make an edited version for the radio and you have to pretty much do it all over again and you do it for every song that blows up. Let's say if you have an album and the whole album blows up, now you're redoing the whole album. How about like during the R&B era, during the Rufus and Chaka Khan era, you got it right once. Alright, they're potty mouths but they know how to act on the mic, right? Like Rufus is nasty and I hear Chaka in interviews all the time, she's nasty but she gets it together when she's on the MI so you know on plastic so I just didn't understand the whole idea like I mean I know we've had you know controversial groups that came out of it Public Enemy being one KRS one Boogie Down Productions of course I said 2 Live Crew you said NWA and I mean but if they knock down some of that right like found another way to say ask the police anything like that then they could have done it once one draft and that's it because when I grew up before all that nonsense before stickers on albums before it became cool to have an explicit sticker on an album only people that did were comedians comedies spoken word stuff right like I think my mom told me she she would be more relaxed to see me coming home with a Richard Pryor album that had a swearing sticker then some you know naughty by nature or something like that right so and people do that to themselves if you get it right once in the studio there's audiences plenty of audiences in all kinds of music that know how to do that why can't you why can't you just save the curses and the swears for your homies on the block and then you say do one universal version of your song and make it that how come everyone else and every genres got that right even reggae as controversial as be they have songs and plenty of versions that are acceptable so why can't you as the rhymer as the MC and your DJ why can't you come up you always talking about coming up with banging things and and banging joints, why can't you do it right once? So I always wondered that. I'll never get an answer to it, at least not today. And that was another thing too, that Kelly kind of imposed on me. As a caller on her show, she told me if you're playing out to an audience, because she just assumes I'm podcasting, I said I'm a ham a few times, it kind of fell on deaf ear, she doesn't understand it, she doesn't care. So she said, if you're playing out to your audience, how about drop some of that black stuff? I mean, I love hip-hop too, but your audience is 90% cookie flower, so, you know, how about you drop some of that? And I've worked hard and I've tried, because you know when I came out here, when you first started to talk to me and a few others started to me, yeah, I had a very hip-hop sort of mentality and I've dropped a lot of that. I might goof on it on the screen, I'll write a few, you know, things on the screen, but for the most part I've dropped a lot so see now I think I can say that I do get it right once okay so I try to make it so anything that I'll say here I can say on Saturday I can say on scars I can say on Toronto repeaters I don't know I don't know if I'm not let's say succeeding but I think that I'm able to to and I think I've got the hang of it and I think you guys said I tried on you guys you know you're like the audio guinea pigs I think you could agree that I've gone through many transitions just in this four or five years now I've had three decades to practice you know one of the things about out because I am on the autistic spectrum I don't like admitting it people do know it people catch on to it is we know how to conform. We know how to fit in. We don't have to follow an instruction book or have people tell us how to fit in. We know how to. And you know Audis are all about routine. Ham radio embodies routine. You have to have routine. Otherwise how do you meet people on the air? Your nets or your routine. So then a lot of that falls into play for me it's easy but you guys since I've tried a lot of stuff on you guys you've seen my transitions I think this is the final draft and the final copy I don't know unless 20 people from hot 97 show up here and I want to impress them I think this is what you get but what you're gonna get is me saying that I love I'm gonna have to love you and leave you it's like a few minutes to six I better get my ass motivated or I'll stay here till noon with you. So 7-3 for now, take care, VA3KKY. First of all, see you Saturday. Hey, wait! Happy happy happy gobble gobble day. I don't think I'll be celebrating it with you here with some of my peeps, but have a ginormous heaping helping of Thanksgiving food for me, alright? It's one of the things I like about the holidays, the damn food. So have some of that for me. I'll tell you what, you put on the pounds, you enjoy the food, and I guess you could say you got the best part of the deal. How can you front on that? Take care. Good holiday though, and I'll see you on the weekend. I'll be on here for rest tomorrow, so I'll probably say it again to you tomorrow. Take care. BA3KKY, back to net. Bye bye.
