Refreshing Wild Cherry cola meets Smooth cream.

[Artist/Poet]

The treat you deserve.

[Brett Goldstein]

Pepsi Wild Cherry and cream. Treat yourself

[Brett Goldstein (Host)]

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, everyone. I hope you're having a wonderful holiday. It's me, Brett, and I'm here to thank you all for listening through the year and for being so lovely. I hope you're all having a wonderful time and I'm leaving you your special Christmas gift, which is producer Buddy P's annual wonderful magical Christmas mix. Have a wonderful time, whatever you're doing. And as Tiny Tim, who did not die, once said, please, now more than ever, be excellent to each other.

[Chorus/Group Voice]

Merry Christmas.

[Producer/Technician]

That's all. That's all there is to it.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Yeah.

[Singer/Vocalist]

In the beginning.

[Rapper/MC]

That's when.

[Brett Goldstein]

Before the record starts, Right? Just before that starts.

[Interviewer/Host]

Sa.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

This is the beginning. This is the beginning of Long Walk to the desert, to the mountains. This is where I start. This is where it begins. Right here.

And as he walks, he cries. I do not want to be cremated when I die. I want to be buried where the traffic never stops. And those who drive this way can say goodbye father, goodbye brother, goodbye my love.

[Spoken Word Artist]

I'm a devious motherfucker once I get going.

[Chorus/Group Voice]

Whilst I'm walking in my hometown had a movie which brought me down.

[Brett Goldstein]

Look out.

[Narrator/Poet]

It's only films to be buried with. Some are on some scariness. Others are hilarious. Many have various mixes of genres like romantic thriller, science fiction or dramas. They all just can be part of our personal canons. You're fanning you watching them again and again, quoting funny stuff with your friends and your family and thinking too much about the ones that end. Sadly, you find your first crush like mine was Terry Garr and learn about how we live our lives and where we are. We are born, we die. In between, we see see a lot of ourselves taking shape on the screen. One of my favorite things is thinking about what they mean. That's why I keep a clean movie podcast routine. And there's only one man who can set the Whole scene. And yes, he goes by the name of Mr. Brett Goldstein. Who's on the mic? Yo, you know the damn name is Brett Goldstein, not Berry Champlain.

[Chorus/Group Voice]

Hello.

[Narrator/Poet]

Plus he's far less obnoxious Certainly on the block straight talk like Dr. Shirley Brett's on a mic like Petey Green and Dave Garver he's on the mic like Hard Harry but he' Adrian Cronauer going for the big win the DJ and the warriors voiced by Lynn Thigpen Mr. Senior Love Daddy that's the truth, Ruth Doing the nasty to your ears here's the proof and my man buddy peace behind the big mix board Digging through all the flicks that'll get explored with the Princess Leia headphones tuned onto the station Looking like Gene Hackman in the conversation but you're asking me questions all day long now what I'm saying Looking like Gene Hackman in the conversation

[Brett Goldstein]

I think there's some truth to that, you know, I think I got some good breaks in the beginning.

[Rapper/MC]

Some nice Christmas cookies.

[Musician]

All right.

[Producer/Technician]

Made you want one.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Well, they're good.

[Narrator/Poet]

I've forgotten to tell you something. You've died. Now let's talk about the films that were important in your life. Like, what are the films that most made you cry? Like for me it would be Tootsie and Moonlight and I can't forget ET but we all know the truth is that cute little dude was emotionally abusive. Which films made you smile and made you most laugh? Which ones would you never watch again? They're so bad. Which ones are only renters? Which ones gotta be owners? Which gave worrying wide ons or troubling boners? Which ones can't be turned off? We'd love it if you would tell us. Understanding there's a high likelihood it's goodfellas.

[Brett Goldstein]

For a second, I thought I was dead. I wouldn't have heard a thing. I would have been dead.

[Narrator/Poet]

Don't look now, but here comes that creepy guy. It's Brett walking up with a coffin. You know what he's like. Bout to do something evil to make you fit in it properly. When I see that reaper coming, I'mma be like, yo, get off of me. He's asking, what do you think happens when you d what you want to say, but the only answer that is right is there's a heaven. And they seem to catch a lot of flicks there. And they're all really good ones, so there's no need to despair. You have a once in a lifetime chance to make your best suggestion. So Take a second and really think about the question to satisfy the angels appetite when they visit. You're taking one film with you in the afterlife. What is it?

[Brett Goldstein]

What is it?

[Narrator/Poet]

What is it?

[Brett Goldstein]

What is it?

[Narrator/Poet]

What is it?

[Brett Goldstein]

What is it?

[Narrator/Poet]

What is it?

[Chorus/Group Voice]

A Happy holidays, Happy Advent, Happy Three Kings Day, Happy Las Posadas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Yule, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Donzi Festival, Happy Bodhi Day, Happy Shogatsu, Happy New Year and Happy Boxing Day.

[Interviewer/Host]

[Narrator/Advertiser]

[Brett Goldstein]

I like rock drumming. What style? I like guys that are clean and simple.

[Interviewer/Host]

Regardless I don't know where I am I've been greater than those two days do you love the chance that you you take? Do you understand it more?

It's the second chance that break do you know the chance that you take it. Just to give you up.

[Art Commentator]

Stemming from a basic natural instinct to be artistic and creative, human beings create subconscious art on a daily basis. Of course, as is the case with many conscious artists, much of the work holds little artistic artistic merit and fits more accurately into the description of exercise. But occasionally, an individual or group will subconsciously create a work of true artistic genius.

[Artist/Poet]

I capture the elegance artwork relevance the precedence I'm still the artist in residence Dance Gallery Brussels September Absolute splendor Heart in a blender make haste but we never surrender say hi to Paris in a white cube bookstore on a world tour and my artwork looks pure oh sure our career is secure I'm in a city culture trying to lure I'm all about the art speak intelligent direction Everything's infection and forced Introspection Introspection.

[Philosopher/Poet]

I am the sounds you hear I am a word I am a sound I am a reflection I am a word I am a mirror Art is a word Mirror is a word Art is a mirror.

[Artist/Poet]

[Artist/Poet]

Artists in Twilight still making drama dots in the major museum shows with Yashito Monara High price blue chip advisory art here via Susanna Riley Hearst or Claire Richard Sarah yeah prices just hit an all low. The 1% buy artist investments are for the rich. I thoroughly detest it. It's art to the point where it's invested. They can't be arrested. They're also invested. Nice slash on a canvas Fontana Silver duct tape on a ripe banana Please

[Brett Goldstein]

stop

[Artist/Poet]

Just exit through the gift show

[Brett Goldstein]

we just played two compositions in one.

[Artist/Poet]

I guess you are dreaming of introducing the next.

[Musician]

We had a little session in London together a couple of hours and we thought it would be nice to write a tune together. When you write a tune on your own, it has your kind of direction but when you write as a team it gives an interesting different direction with the music. So we hope you enjoy it.

[Brett Goldstein]

Remix one buddy Peace. Long story short and I'm good with edits. Yeah Bo Bo Check it well well My first time was with marriage material it was after a burial I was playing a laugh track on the stereo My jazz hands were full in effect Whether pleasurable or painful I couldn't detect I was a wreck and it was all hands on deck when it was over she pushed off on my shoulders and then stood on my neck I was pomegranate red in her face she was stiletto in the foot One day I snuck in the church to sign a wedding book the trick is just to look like you belong there hold it like you want it said the 7th pul all you really need to know all you ever really need to know Reap what you sow and never upstage a peep show Speak slow and deliver it or take the liberty to think of another delivery Give them a riddle to fiddle with Killer kindness Turn these little white lies and it was shocking true Said the cat on the hot tin roof Brick by brick we built this house of shit and milked every last bit of guilt out of it Brick by brick we built this house of and then we stripped it bit by bit My second timer was with mixed blood Since I'm a mud pedigree Ain't something that I ever think of she asked what I was doing with lipstick it made me blush and she applied herself to where the blood rush laid the foundation With a tongue kiss heavy petted me yo so gently with the same hand she'd eventually punch me with Overly attached me to a short leash. Made me wear a muzzle in public although she'd already pulled my teeth. Abusive to all the ruggly sucker ducklings. Every single one of us made it feel like we just had it coming. Luckily for me, I'm always leaving and I don't remember crossing myself. That evening, she handed me a purity cock ring and an open fist, saying, I got this at the joke shop, but I do hope to God it fits. When I noticed her lips were separated by a blurred line. I tried to make sense of it but couldn't focus. We was sitting in the lotus when she mentioned mindsets. Put my thinking cap on for protection, I guess. She suggested a position. I said, child, you don't love me.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

You.

[Brett Goldstein]

You just love my downward facing doggy style. I don't want a fake fuck or real fuck. That's when the mascara started running. With his tail tucked, she had more bark than love bite for this stray mutt. I still think about her some nights. But I'm done with the makeup. Brick by brick, we built this house of shit. And built every last bit of guilt out of it. Brick by brick, we built this house of shit. And then we stretched. The third time was with a snake charmer turned snake handler. She wore a veil and belly dance for the examiner. She answered to her father, the ringleader of all relig. I asked for his blessing like that was his to give. Old school. Sell it. He asked about my backstory, but it's so true I couldn't tell it. I tell tall tales, I said. And I'm good with edits. Long story short, I gave the context, not the premise. I noticed a sign outside that says reject help from medics. Modern medicine's a threat to your ethics, sir. Reason? I asked. Your daughter's been bitched. She's been bit bad. She screamed out quick. Somebody get dad. He said, that's interesting. I've been giving my print incest doses of venom since Just a little thing increasingly with age, to prepare her. Told her the world a mean place. I did my best to scare her away from the boundaries I set. There were many close calls. Seems your little love boat finally crashed through the ocean wall. She's dead to me for going to the other side. They'll tell her I said so. But that's how her mother died. She was the queen of the snakes, a side attraction to our circuit. I mean our unit. You mean circus. She was quite the companion piece. The way she worked it in the end became a bit too too friendly with the serpent. But now I know why she has those holes in her limbs. You play puppeteer and thread em with a string. Replace love affair to cut people loose like it ain't a thing and only call her a princess cause you consider yourself a king. I' ma listen to Sting and pay the hospital bill. If there's a lesson to the story or a moral to instill I'll let you figure that out while me and your daughter chill. I ain't even on the pill

[Interviewer/Host]

but waiting bitch works.

[Brett Goldstein]

Brick by brick we built this house to shit and milked every last bit of kill Died of it. Brick by brick we built this house to shit and then we stripped it bit by bit. Brick by brick we built this house of shit. And milked every last bit of guilt out of it. Brick by brick we built this house of shit. And then we stripped it bit by bit. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Buddy Peace bring the beat back in. Let me freestyle the rest of this lp. Well, I grab the mic and then the beat goes away. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. This is art by ty with the DOD 45 show. And this is Adrian. And we want to give a big shout out to our man Buddy Peace. This is an exclusive. This is an exclusive. Wait, say that again. It's a what?

[Singer]

An exclusive.

[Brett Goldstein]

An exclusive. Exclusive. Exclusive. Give shout out to Buddy Peace.

[Producer/Technician]

Brett Goldstein.

[Brett Goldstein]

Films to be buried with. Films to be buried with. Exclusive.

[Interviewer/Host]

Music.

[Interviewer]

Well, you've been out there banging them out, playing in front of tens of thousands of people at a time. Countless. You must have, then. You must certainly have some in depth firefighters. Well, insofar as does it make a difference if there are 57,000 or 2,000? Well, I think there's an ideal median in the middle actually of having an audience that's just about big enough that there's a whole lot of energy there. And you can only, you know, you have to look down in the front row to really be able to. I like to see people when I'm playing and I sort of try to relate to them that way and sort of, you know, make eyes

[Interviewer/Host]

it.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

That was quick. I must have covered the desert over. I'll bet you folks want to know where I am. Well, I am walking towards the freeway. They're literally following me. To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious. Think about that. That isn't a profound statement. I don't know what is. To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious. What does he mean by that? Well, you go on to the new life. You don't hang around in these Old bodies. It's a very, very spiritual statement by a man who was considered evil. But what a beautiful evil man. Not evil. Searching, searching for fulfillment. Caught up in bodies and immortality and mortality. Trying to leave his body. Not doing a very good job of it. Out here you don't need a piece. All you need is an affair. Escape, a ticket out. If you're just passing through, then you're passing through but if you're here permanently may God bless you. Cuz there ain't nothing here.

Woke up one morning on a windy afternoon I was thinking singing and whistling a half remember tuning Twas a Beatles number, not a military rumber and I fell asleep clinging in the 60s woke up at midnight just before dawn Went outside, sucker snaggy down my neighbour's front lawn I chewed on a mushroom gave myself some head rings 50 for something from the 60s yeah, I slipped into something from the 60s scanned the color supplements to see what was in vogue and I read that modernism gets one labelled as a rogue Bought a new lamb metal on the pocket this weekend of the 60s time for action in this weekend of the 60s chopped the

[Brett Goldstein]

bills climbed the board and I drove

[Narrator/Storyteller]

into the town Saw myself as a soldier on the local ground Pulled up a parking lot and spilled a little blood yes, it's fab Been a youngster in the 60s buster gasping a youngster in the 60s then I zoomed off the Brighton With a belly full of booze and some rockers on the beach with my shiny white shoes but that night I went to bed with a deck chair round my head It's a headache being a hero in the 60s it's a headache being a hero in the 60s had a submachine gun leveled up my head then welcome to the 60s someone somewhere said my mind was working overtime I gathered on the peace sign. The hole was black and the hole was wide I leaned over to the a good look look inside Then a bright white flash and a crash, bang, slash and a hippie flick Politicians, artists, confusion all around Poets claiming rights to all the words from the ground 60s spinning down my eyeballs 60s sticking to my face 60s sparks of nostalgia whizzing off the far outer space 60s spinning from our doors 60s dreams of bonfires 60 sparks in a thousand Whizzing up the far up space Whizzing up the

far up in space

Mission for a

[Rapper/MC]

Development celebrates at a high rate My skill.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

If you have never seen something before

[Brett Goldstein]

and it's strange There you are in A strange world.

[Spoken Word Artist]

When the final trumpet the heavens sing shines down and the demons fall. Like pop ups in amusement parks that haunted us. Open to a sky of stars. Star Mars pure. A swirly Simmon constellation. And the winner. Killing the crowds and changing the land to a space flick plot. Making the walks of concrete a stark photograph. The ruins of a cursed land Beneath the living light. You've won your love.

[Brett Goldstein]

Death is a must. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

[Rapper/MC]

Let me start again I was born March 4 torn from the harsh North Large horn I'm hardcore my glasses half MC other half DJ B, U, C, K 65 ways this is what it was meant for Friends call me rich and lovers call me Centaur Famous and anonymous I'm shameless and I'm bottomless Ominous the most uncommon denominator Dominant on the fade of Nice on the mic Third time's a charm Cause twice was a strike I'll give you the answer and I'll sell you the proof Stupid dogs lie and I'll tell you the truth Time moves fast But I'm fast too I never stay long I just pass through it won't be hard to outlast

[Brett Goldstein]

[Rapper/MC]

[Brett Goldstein]

You can see in their places that they wander I came to the party.

[Rapper/MC]

Hey, hank williams. Public Enemy Stop, start again End. Public Enemy Stop, start again. Public Enemy Stop, start again and Public Enemy. Public Enemy. Good things on top, bad things down below Beautiful sights, the most terrifying sound. I watched across the desert and I'm back where I began. The most destructive voice in the universe, Man. One good turn of the table deserves another. The prettiest girl in the whole oh world.

[Brett Goldstein]

Look at your brother.

[Rapper/MC]

She's got gorgeous eyes.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Let me tell you something.

[Rapper/MC]

Collect yourself.

[Brett Goldstein]

Organize, organize, organize. Kill the man can you kill The Idea

[Rapper/MC]

Box 65 is the killer of drums. I'm the spiller of guts in the builder of guns and my zillas they come in the rhyme or replies the girls come to the show have the time of their lives. The old timer despises the snakes in the grass and the eggs and the ass and the brakes in the glass Mistakes in the past and the long road ahead. So I don't go to bed, I just unload instead Die a little every day do the mathematicals it could live forever or do path of radicals Half grammatical of the half mechanical coracles get the blues rappers act dramatical nerds and the geeks and the birds and the breeze the unidentified flying object is fake

[Interviewer]

which is two words, not three Many

[Narrator/Storyteller]

people make a mistake

[Rapper/MC]

Everybody was breaking the highs was screaming and the bass was shaking and it was won't be long till everybody knowing. Buddy pieces on the beat boss going. Buddy pieces on the beat boss going. Buddy pieces on the beat boss going Buddy pieces on the beat boss going. Buddy pieces on the beat boss going.

[Interviewer/Host]

Prepare to die.

[Singer/Vocalist]

All roads are basically the same. This town is a mirror of my veins. From the heart to the fingers to the brain, head, license and blood cells all the same. Never been a fan of the summer sweat, baby face. Kids ain't seen nothing yet. Your baby ain't got nothing left. Go to sleep. Give it a fucking rest. As a kid I see sang in the choir Felt the spirit like hands to the fire. But Father John Andrew's a liar and Sister Mary Margaret's a liar. It's the last time I spin the chamber. Danced in the arms of the stranger. I' ma shave my face so clean, I'mma throw out my dirty magazines. I'mma call Grandma just to talk. I'mma smoke cigarettes and take walks. I'mma pet my dog so sweet. I'mma lay down, I'mma sleep. My house is your house, your home is my home. Open all the doors, open all the windows. My house is your house, your home is my home. Open all the doors, open all the windows.

[Brett Goldstein]

Bang.

[Singer/Vocalist]

For every night that my mother cries. Baby, I will see you on the other side. For every night that my mother cries. Maybe I will see you on the other side. Check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check. I can see my house from here. No light pollution.

[Rapper/MC]

Boom.

[Singer/Vocalist]

So clear, so quiet. Once more, deer. But I've never been a hunter, dear. For every night that my mother cried. Maybe I will see you on the other side. For every night that my mother cry. Maybe I will see you on the other side. For every night that my Mother cried maybe I will see you on the other side. For every night that my mother cries maybe I will see you on the other side.

[Conversationalist]

Would you care to go to the movies tomorrow? I can't think of anything I'd rather do.

I'm afraid not. I have to study my English.

You seem to be getting very studious these days.

Not really.

Well, how about next week?

All right. That'll be fine.

[Producer/Technician]

Who let the torch pass? Fall in the tall grass Fire alarm. Why is this armed? What do you call that? Call it predictable political cliche. So when the movie ends the revolution's dead Replay the sequence of events that led to these deep divisions I realized the order wrong people are in prison the children want to know if I believe in the reptilians I tell them I don't know but on the Tbiassi lizards when action was in fashion you were such an easy mimic Bump a sticker quote lifting grip notes statistic grass for the straw man Born again cynic, fair weather firebrand sparked my suspicion Knew you was the type to take the fight like a gimmick and rock the T shirt when your sweat wasn't in it the clock is still ticking for the victim of the future you're waiting till they look like you to ever

[Interviewer/Host]

choose but which sign are you on? Which side are you on? Damn, which side, which side are you on? Which side are you on?

[Producer/Technician]

Ask the industry which side are you on?

[Interviewer/Host]

Which line are you on? Ask a MC which side are you on? Which line are you on?

[Producer/Technician]

Go ahead who wrote the greatest lines of our generation but couldn't get from under? They on small minded hate trips the same rappers say they trooping the front lines or casually use the worst slurs as a punchline that's not a man, that's not a tough guy that is a sucker and a fraud to the culture Hip hop is folk music grown from the struggle and half these fools could put the mic down and run as a republican Fuck em Then they learn from they own wrong Homophobes don't go to my shows, we too strong and if you in the front row harassing folks during a song Imma reach out and ask you exactly which side are you on?

[Interviewer/Host]

Which side are you on? You ain't gotta like it which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on?

[Producer/Technician]

I'm on the side of poor people getting organized I'm on the side of choice where it is in Short supply. I'm on the side of those. The system doesn't authorize LGBTQIA moving fewer in the way of justice and equality. Egypt and Wisconsin when they march against the policy if you bring it down, I came, I'm on your side. Probably kids will give me shit for disabilities really doesn't bother me. They were not around but we were wrestling with poverty. So I follow none and ask no one to follow me. Use your own mind, use your heart and your anger. Check yourself because apathy is a cancer and let your action be the answer.

[Interviewer/Host]

You are which side are you on? Ask your government which side are you on? Which side are you on?

[Producer/Technician]

Ask your media which side are you on?

[Interviewer/Host]

Which side are you on?

[Producer/Technician]

Ask yourself which side are you on?

[Interviewer/Host]

Which side are you on?

[Chorus/Group Voice]

Don't scare for the bosses, don't listen to their lies Cuz more folks haven't got a chance unless we organize. Don't care for the bosses, don't listen to their lies Cause poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize.

[Narrator]

You're driving alone at night and it's dark and it's raining and you're not sure where you're going. You took a turn back there, but you're not sure it was the right turn. But you took the turn anyway and you kept going that way. And eventually it starts to get light and you look out and you realize you have absolutely no idea where you are. So you get out at the next gas station and you say, hello, excuse me, can you tell me where I am?

[Rapper/MC]

Hello?

[Narrator]

Excuse me, can you tell me where I am? Hello? Excuse me, can you tell me where I am? Oh, excuse me, can you tell me where I am?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

It will happen yesterday. Fly through time Back to the moment of arrival back.

[Chorus/Group Voice]

We know it's getting bad, but we keep on going back, Doing damage to our hearts and never can call them. We're choosing solutions at our worst.

[Narrator/Poet]

Nah, man, I don't do decisions. My true religion is superstition. Thanks for the congratulations on my new position. The haters say prosperity's bad and I'm a liar. But I bring the kind of kerosene that put out the fire. Ooh, that's interesting. I devastate the greats just by listening. Don't even gotta talk to get the block to do my visioning. This is dedicated to my dead bros and sisters. I say the kind of things that make your friends so suspicious. I'm broke dishes, I'm smash glasses, the copy room key that you used to pass classes. I'm obviously not doing what I'm asked by fascist. The way to get past as fast as mad dashes. You're only hanging out with fakes and fortunate sons when it comes to takes that's my scorching hot one. It's a shadow, it's distraction. Every doubt is a performance. Keep track of all the action. The value is enormous. I keep seeing a creep show it's hard not to catch it. Defeat by the cheat code. Your heart knows it's wretched when art becomes infested with the best and class of enemies. The vanguard invested men obsessed with masculinity. Kids are working strainers, Parents wearing braces they paid a perfect stranger to rearrange their faces. They're talking to the manager and acting like they're winning. Now you got yourself an answer but we're back at the beginning.

[Chorus/Group Voice]

We know it's getting bad but we keep on going

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Crash.

[Chorus/Group Voice]

Doing damage to our hearts and never can call them. We're choosing solutions that are worse than the problem.

[Narrator/Poet]

Burning up the years while we're cleaning up their messes and learning that there's more to life than being on the guest list. Yeah, I had a ticket to that show but I couldn't go. So pitiful. So I met up with the pro and of course she didn't know or at least she wouldn't tell me. When all else fails, just find a cute spot to take a selfie. It's a pretty good day I'm feeling healthy don't get it twisted I'm still trying to find someone to help me that's in the belfry you could be my melbe Fast forward through the slow parts on the stealthy Caught the spark in the dark Never thought we'd be on fire Seeing people we admire being evil liars screaming at the globe Cursing is my bad habit but on the low I gave you a sign like bab Sabbath I learned to step away and keep on breathing. Breathing, take it easy kept my cool, acted cold I didn't mean to make it freezing Hit back with the jab Everything is just a joke to you My peace got spoke what the hell was I supposed to do? I keep going back to it despite my reservations I knew this shit was bad but it defied my expectations who's really gonna pay the true toll of the destruction? Cuz when they walk away from it we're holding on to nothing Even though you know the end you gotta start at the beginning it's intense. No offense, but that's the hardest part

[Chorus/Group Voice]

of Winning we know know it's getting bad but we keep on going back Back Doing damage to our hearts and never can call them we're choosing solutions that are worse than the problem we know it's getting bad but we keep on going back.

I have identity.

[Interviewer/Host]

I understand this.

[Brett Goldstein]

It starts my own. Fundamentals understand it. Blast off. Let's go.

[Conversationalist]

Thank you.

[Singer/Vocalist]

Thank you.

[Producer/Technician]

That's all the time we have, Dad. I think they appreciate it.

[Singer/Vocalist]

One, two. By by word of explanation, we should explain that they asked us to end the concert and we managed to get an extra 45 minutes. So the reason we're stopping playing is because of the time on the hall,

[Interviewer/Host]

not because we're tired.

[Singer/Vocalist]

Thanks,

[Interviewer/Host]

Sat.

[Conversationalist]

Do it yourself, Listen and repeat. An old saying tells us that if you want something done well, you should do it yourself. Today, many people seem to take this saying to heart. They prefer to make things themselves. They have become do it yourself fans. All you have to do is put the parts together. If you have never tried to do it yourself, you will be surprised how easy it is. You will find a lot of satisfaction in doing it yourself. It's fun, too.

I see you've become a do it yourself fan.

Yes, I've taken the old saying to heart. If you want a job done well, do it yourself for you.

Maybe. That's all right, but I'm all thumbs when it comes to making things.

Oh, it's not so hard as you might think. You buy the parts already cut out. All you have to do is put them together.

Perhaps you're right.

All you have to do is practice.

But what are you making? Let me see it, will you? If it's as good as you say, I might ask you to make one for me.

All right.

[Brett Goldstein (Host)]

That was the Buddy Peace Christmas Mix. I would like to give a very special thank you to Buddy Peace, who works so hard on this podcast, does it all on his own. He's a legend. The podcast doesn't really work at all without him. So thank you to Buddy Peace, and thank you to all of you who listen and have a really, really happy new Year. Thank you very much.

[Brett Goldstein]

Nine one one.

[Narrator/Poet]

What's your emergency?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

You need to send the police.

[Brett Goldstein]

He's gonna kill me. He killed all the others.

[Rapper/MC]

Who killed the others, ma'?

[Interviewer/Host]

Am?

[Brett Goldstein]

He found me. Prime mate. No streaming.
