Thanks so much for having me back, Greg.

It's so nice to be back and find out what the heck happened before.

Yeah, true, yes.

So what comes to mind is Glinda the Good Witch from The Wiz.

Because I grew up, that was the Black Wizard of Oz that we grew up on in the 80s.

And so that sort of, I think, was my introduction to her.

And also seeing her perform on The Cosby Show, R.I.P.

Were my words.

I mean, I'm just saying.

But those were my interactions with her.

And she kind of, I think in my head, occupies a similar sort of like Harry Belafonte status of being a performer and an activist as well.

Yeah.

I was going to say, if you start getting into gambling, you start getting really out of working really quickly because why work if you can just win money?

Yeah.

I am guessing that she has figured out some kind of song and dance situation to kind of help out.

Like she's performing or doing something in the family business.

No, you're spot on, I think.

We start our story with not singing yet.

If you want to make a welcoming space for black people, you don't call it the cotton.

Yeah, cool.
