Prayers up for Chris Varable. Hopefully I didn't destroy that last name. Alright, since we've got a few in here, we'll start out with some easy ones. These are for the I guess these would be for the casual fans who still rock the Purple Rain vinyl. These are pretty pretty basic. So let's go with we'll go with question number one. Question number one. Question number one is what is Princess's full birth name?

SPEAKER_04 12:25

Pretty easy.

SPEAKER_02 12:26

For your nonchalant Prince fans, the ones that are still rocking purple rain and only no prints with purple rain. Yeah. Finally. Let me uh see if I can throw some comments as they come in onto the stage as well. Don't know if you can see that. It's right there in the right-hand corner in the bottom. Alright, let's go. Chris uh question number two. What city was Prince born and raised in?

And then uh Tiffany Mills for you. Good job. All right. Moving on, question number four. Another easy one. Which movie made Prince a global superstar in nineteen eighty-four? Yeah, for you was absolutely killer, man. To be a debut album. I first heard it, knew that dude was gonna be something special. Purple Rain, Steve Mercer. Steve Mercer is on it. Rain, yes. Yeah, as I mentioned before, I think I'm thinking about doing this after the live stream is over, doing a tab to see who answered the most questions. And uh doing a giveaway. On maybe a 3121 tote bag or something. 3121 logo on the back, MPG Music Club on the back. It says, Don't you want to come? Nice. Question number five. Uh, what's the name of Prince's backing band during the Purple Rain era? Another easy one, another basic Revolution. Steve Mercer on it. Lady Cab driver on it. All right, this is probably the most easiest question ever asked about prince. We're gonna get through these basic questions. I know you diehards are waiting for the tough ones. So am I. So number six, what color is mostly associated with prince? Come on. Don't say green. Purple. Uh when Prince touched down in uh Sheridan, Wyoming in '86 for the for the premiere of one of the Cherry Moon. Martha Quinn asked him when he got off the plane, what's your impressions of Sheridan? Prince goes, Purple. That's all I can say. This is awesome. Thank you so much. Uh I'm gonna butcher the name, but the name is Yelts Me New York? Is that what it stands for? Although orange is Prince's favorite color. What? I don't think I even knew that. Awesome, thanks for joining. Yeltsmi, New York. You guys hear me over the music okay? The music too loud, or just right.

SPEAKER_01 20:23

Somebody said Johnny Lane was in the house.

SPEAKER_05 20:28

Um I was just talking to my partner last night about how we have never seen Purple Rain. What? Man, what are you waiting on, man? Movie came out in '84. Matter of fact, they just released a 4K version of Purple Rain. So get the 4K. Make sure you have a 4K DVD player because I tried it on my standard Blu-ray DVD player. Would not play, so I gotta get a 4K DVD player to play the 4K version of Purple Rain. Thank you so much, Lady Cab Driver. Can't wait to watch it. Yeah, you gotta see it. Shouting out other people. Hi Sue. Sue Robinson, thanks for joining tonight. Appreciate you. Alright, we're moving. Got about 12 folks in tonight. Not bad. Plenty to start with. We're going through the basic questions right now, the easy ones. Mostly all Prince fans know. Uh, number seven. Here we go. Uh what year did Prince pass away? We're getting there. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 22:00

Twenty sixteen.

SPEAKER_05 22:02

Steve Murphy's killing it, man. Steve's got fast hands. Twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen. Yep.

unknown 22:17

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_05 22:19

Pretty easy. Can't believe it's coming up on ten years.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

I told you a few minutes ago.

SPEAKER_05 22:27

I forgot to mention earlier.

unknown 22:29

That I didn't want you to come in.

SPEAKER_05 22:31

Uh this I'm gonna pause for a second on the questions real quick and throw up uh the announcement that came out from the estate yesterday. Uh save the date for the 10th uh celebration of Princess Passing, uh celebration that's going on up in uh Minneapolis, Paisley, June 3rd, June 7th, 2026. Announcement came out yesterday. So at least they have the dates locked in, so we can kind of plan ahead. I'm definitely gonna be there this year, definitely for the 10th anniversary. I haven't been to a celebration since this passing, but this year definitely I plan to be there, as many folks probably plan to be there. 10 years this year already up. Steve Mercer will be there. Looking forward to meeting you guys up there. Oh, yeah, definitely, Stephanie, definitely going. This year, I will be there absolutely. And uh the save the date. Announcement says 10-year anniversary celebration of the Prince Celebration 2026, June 3rd to the 7th, 2026, Paisley Park, downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. A moment to gather, a moment to celebrate.

unknown 24:10

That's where we have my baby stay.

SPEAKER_05 24:14

Um a moment to honor the music, creativity, and community that Prince created and continues to inspire and bring us all together. Absolutely. Alright. Back to Trivia Night, had to throw that in there real quick. Oh, my God's gonna make an effort.

unknown 24:52

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_05 24:54

Alright, where do we leave off? Let's see. Okay. Which instrument, number eight, which instrument did Prince play on most of his recording?

SPEAKER_04 25:04

This could be a trick question.

SPEAKER_02 25:12

Wait a minute. Something wrong, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:20

Steve Mercer says guitar. Sue Robinson says guitar. Steve Mercer says finish track. Lady Cab drive guitar. Samantha Jackson, thanks for joining. She says piano. But you know what? How about maybe maybe since Prince was a multiple instrumentalist, notably guitar keys, bass, and drums, how about how about the answer could be all of them? All of the instruments? I know in a lot of his early recordings he played most of the instruments. All of them, yeah. That was kind of a trick question. Synth Lindrum. Thanks for joining, Mark. Almost said that. Yeah, that was a trick question. A little curveball for you guys. Master 27 instruments. Absolutely. Alright. Okay, let's let's let's go to round two. This is round two. And this is for the medium questions. Getting a little bit harder. Medium level. What was the first single? Question number nine from the Purple Rain album. What was the first single from the Purple Rain album? Thirty-nine. Samantha Jackson does cry, Steve Mercer when does cry. Still fairly easy. Absolutely. I think we all know that one. Okay, number ten. Which album features the hit Kiss? Steve Mercer. Parade. Mark. Parade. Absolutely parade. One of my favorite albums. That album was truly funky, though. I'm thinking about songs like Girls and Boys. Another lover holing your head.

SPEAKER_04 29:03

Lady Cadriver. Let's go crazy, I thought.

SPEAKER_05 29:22

Lady Cat Driver. No one could compete with him between eighty and eighty-eight. Yeah, absolutely. Prince was amazing in the eighties, man. But when was he not amazing? 80s, of course, he was huge. 90s, I love the 90s Prince. I love the 2000s Prince. Sue Robinson in one interview, he said thousands. I remember that interview, thousands. Wasn't that the Dick Clark interview? He was like 19 and he said thousands. And then Dick Clark was like thousands, and then Prent was like a lot. That interview was hilarious. Uh waiting on that super deluxe, D'Angelo even named it as his favorite funk album in that Nelson George interview. Yeah, yeah, he did. Yeah, I threw that interview up uh on social media a couple weeks ago. Yeah, that super deluxe. Can't wait to see that one, man. I guess we have to first get through the uh the release, the re-release of uh Around the World on the Day. That package is not thanks for the comments, guys. Thanks for the participation, I appreciate it. It's early 2000s, Jazz Phase 2. Yes. Rainbow Children. Love that album. Opening song on Purple Rain. Oh, this yeah, let's see. Let's go back to that question and see how it was asked. Oh, what was the first single from Purple Rain? The album? I think you're thinking about the the first track on the album, not necessarily the first single that was released. American dance thing, yeah. I'm trying to throw up all the comments that are coming in, make them larger so you guys can see what people are saying. Every album every album uh was a rebirth, but they are absolutely fantastic. Parade deluxe would have been would have to be twenty LPs. Eighty-five to eighty-six. We're so busy, yeah. You're absolutely right. Okay. Next question. Uh Windov's cry was unique because it did not include what instrument getting a little tougher. Bass Steve Mercer. Mark bass Stephanie Mills, bass. Oh, you guys are on it. Die Hearts. Average Prince fan would not have gotten that one, I don't think. Bass track. Right.

unknown 33:59

Let's get it wrong.

SPEAKER_05 34:05

I knew you guys would kill it. Okay, number 12. Ernie Wiles. Thanks for joining, Ernie. I don't think I've seen Ernie Wiles in here tonight. Thanks for joining. Appreciate you.

unknown 34:21

Talk to the ladies.

SPEAKER_05 34:22

Question number twelve. What was the name of Prince's eighty-seven double album that featured If I Was Your Girlfriend? Come on. Sign of the Times. Bring a while, sign of the Times. Sandra sixty four eleven, sign of the times. Thanks for joining Sandra Eleven sixty-four eleven. Sign of the times. Everybody's nailing it. You guys are killing it. We're gonna get to the tough ones. We gotta get through the the easy ones and the medium level ones. Then we'll get to the hard ones. Promise. I know you want to challenge. Okay, let's go. Let's uh I have so many memories of that year. Great soundtrack, Chick 87. Oh yeah. Definitely many memories memories attached to the soundtrack of our lives, right? Here's one, here's one from me.

SPEAKER_04 36:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 36:16

Ernie is asking. Who do you think is crying in reverse in the movie Purple Rain? Streetsy roamed in search of the poem amongst all the game.

unknown 36:32

Cool dark skin and happy bird in white. Is it vanity?

SPEAKER_02 36:42

Well she co-signed and tell me where she was shy. Cool, dark skin, and happy birds in white.

unknown 36:52

Shy.

SPEAKER_05 36:56

Jill.

unknown 36:58

Shy. Looks like we're gonna take a long way home.

SPEAKER_05 37:03

Ernie Wiles says uh Jill baby. Is it Jill or Vanity?

SPEAKER_02 37:14

I don't know much loud on the word you said. I'll pass my initiation.

SPEAKER_05 37:24

People are saying Lisa laughing. And then retaliation Lisa is Mark says Jill. Okay.

unknown 37:35

No regrets, no sorrow.

SPEAKER_05 37:37

I can see that.

SPEAKER_02 37:38

Going back tomorrow, make sure it's dead because if I don't call me a chick, but you can call me shy.

SPEAKER_05 37:48

Okay, this is not one of the questions, but who was the person? Oh which song was it on? Was it at the end of DMSR, I think it was, and somebody says, Somebody help me, somebody help me. Well, I figured Jill Jones was she was treated like an ex or a side chick in the movie. Yeah. Yeah, I learned something new too. I never thought it was Jill. I was thinking Vanity the whole time. I guess I was thinking Vanity because of the song. Um wave. Oh gosh. Is it is it vibrator? And she's doing her thing in the end. And also at the beginning of uh back to fiction wonder.

unknown 38:59

That's when the Rain and Spunder got better.

SPEAKER_05 39:03

This is the one that's saying, somebody help me.

SPEAKER_02 39:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 39:06

If we go back to that scene, uh, it was all about vanity. Vanity used to call him King Kong. My money's on vanity. Orgasm, yeah, orgasm. I don't know. Vanity and orgasm, yeah.

unknown 39:37

But don't you wanna be alone to love?

SPEAKER_05 39:40

Yeah, okay, that's why I said I said vibrator, because uh it does that in the song Vibrator as well. Good stuff, good information tonight. Appreciate it. Purple family. Remember, Apollonia touched his chest and she said King Kong. That was some old vanity stuff. Yeah, because if you if you remember, Vanity was originally supposed to be in Purple Rain instead of Apollonia. You hear the girl say, I don't want to do it anymore, and the reverse crying part as, well, kind of creepy. Oh, you're gonna make me pull that clip out of the movie and do some reverse stuff to hear what's going on. More trivia from Mark. Let's see. There are backward vanity vocals on Girl. Yeah, I haven't played Girl Backwards yet. That's on my agenda.

unknown 41:09

This is the medicine show.

SPEAKER_05 41:15

I'm still looking for an open source app or program that uh stems out uh vocals from music so I can get a better feel of what's going on vocally. If anybody knows of any open source apps or programs that stems out vocals from music, drop it in the chat, that'd be very helpful.

SPEAKER_01 41:53

Y'all phone with my uproom.

SPEAKER_05 41:59

Still want to see the uncut version of purple rain. Yeah, same here, Stephanie. I did a uh segment about that on one of my episodes recently and showed the actual um one of the clips that never made it to Proporin where Princess in the warehouse fighting Jelly Bean. Actually, Jelly Bean Rich reached out to me to explain what was going on in that scene. And basically, Prince was there to rescue Abalonia and uh ended up in a little scuffle with jelly bean.

SPEAKER_01 42:47

Lisa's face's been messed up for 10 minutes.

unknown 42:52

Don't do that to you.

SPEAKER_05 42:54

I do believe that's what he said. Let's see more comments coming in. We're gonna get back to the questions. This is great though. Back and forth banter about purple information. I still want to see one of the cherry moon in color. Same here. There is like a bootleg version of that online. It's not the greatest color, but somebody tried to colorize it bootleg style. It's not that great. As Michael Dean says, that ain't it. I always thought it was Wendy singing the lyrics, but uh to a boy, maybe it was vanity after all. Endless Prince Info. I appreciate you, Mark. Love, a good uh Prince Scotland. A lot of comments coming in. Don't know if I can show them all. Like so many comments coming in, my uh live stream software freezing up. On scandalous, you hear uh Kim Bassinger. At the end of the moaning, that's where I get that. Absolutely, that's Kim Bassinger. Under the cherry moon, it can be in black and white as long as the deleted scenes are there.

SPEAKER_04 44:44

Yeah.

unknown 44:45

Working overtime, wondering.

SPEAKER_05 44:47

Maybe that will be included with the parade deluxe package. That would be nice. I really see the uncovered version. I re I really want to see the uncovered version too. I have read the original script. And is the original script different than what we saw? Mark. But for all that, I still have yet to figure out what the heck that girl is saying. Boy, trouble with uh all that goofy doublespeak.

unknown 45:27

Chapters and verse. Like Shelby making honey.

SPEAKER_05 45:38

If someone said I never heard a Prince song before, play me one song that best illustrates Prince. What songs would you play?

SPEAKER_01 45:45

That's right. You can admit it.

SPEAKER_05 45:47

Me? Bambi.

unknown 45:50

You can admit it if the truth comes first.

SPEAKER_05 45:52

By the way, Russell, this is the old school day dropping from the Prince podcast.

SPEAKER_02 46:02

You better learn how to share. Turn it up.

SPEAKER_05 46:11

Thanks for that information, Mr. Ernie. Thanks for joining tonight. Thanks, Mr. Thank you, Steve. Alright, I think I've gotten through all of the comments for a second. Anyway, let's see. Where do we leave off? Um another one. Another easy one. You want to get just move through some of these easy ones and get to the hard ones. We'll be here all night. Let's see. Okay. Here's a more tricky one. One more comment. If someone has never heard Prince before, I would recommend any live song to really get Prince. One has to see him live. Absolutely. How many times have you seen Prince live? I've seen him about 10 times live in my lifetime. My first tour that I saw was the 1999 tour. The last tour I saw was the Welcome to America tour. Anyway, back to the questions. Here's a good one. This question, I've skipped ahead to question number 15 in the medium level questions. What album did Prince famously withdraw from release and later rework that included the truth bonus disc? That's a good question. Mark, at least one show was among the best I've ever seen too. That was the One Night Alone Tour.

SPEAKER_03 48:10

Ah, I'm not sure what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_05 48:28

Dirty Mind was my first. Scott, Crystal Ball, Mark, Crystal Ball. Lady Cab driver, that's a good one. Steve Mercer, Crystal Ball, Ernie, Crystal Ball. What is Crystal Ball? Uh-oh. Getting to the medium level questions. Lady cab driver, you're so lucky. Pre-DM Twitter's my holy grail. I don't want to show my age, but I saw Prince open up for Rick James in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1980. My first time here in Prince, I found a 1980. Let's see. 82. I'm not even going to tell my age, but oh yeah, I was too young to get into that one. I barely made it into the 1999 tour. Got lucky. At that time, your parents can kind of walk you up to the door and say, hey, I'm dropping my son off at the concert. Can he come in? He has my approval. That's how I got in. So yeah, the answer. Everybody got it. Crystal ball. All right, moving on. Okay, number sixteen, medium level. What was Prince's final studio studio album released before his death? Where can I find this on YouTube? This show. That is um Ernie Wells. It's on uh if you just look up Freakopotamus Podcast on YouTube, it's there. I can send you the link uh after this is over. My aunt took me uh the next day I bought his second album, Prince. I never looked back. See, Scott. Freezing up. Let's say the question again. Uh the question was what was Prince's final studio album released before his death. Lady Cab driver says artificial age. Mark Mark says hidden one phase two. Lady Cab driver, not quite sure. Hidden run phase two. No, I answers are coming in pretty quickly. So I taped it to my bed and slept in top of it. I slept on top of him every night. Oh man. GMI, Lady Gam Driver. GMI. I remember when I bought the controversy album. And that poster was inside. I wasn't about to put it up on my wall. Huge Prince fan, but I kind of I left that poster inside the album just for safekeeping. A lot of my female friends wanted wanted to take it at the time. I was too much of a fan to let it go. New to the channel, but enjoying. Well, thank you so much. Scott, I appreciate you joining in tonight. Make sure you uh subscribe, hit the bell for future notifications forever I do something else, you'll be notified. Appreciate you. Tell a friend, wake the kids, phone the neighbors, as David Letterman used to say. So yeah, those of you who answered uh what was Prince's final studio album was hitting one phase two. Thank you, Scott. Appreciate you, brother. Uh here's another question. What track is one of your yet to be released Holy Grails? Um God, that's always a tough question. It's so many. It's very, very difficult to name one. I think uh somebody interviewed me a couple episodes back, and I guess my answer was, you know, I I look at Prince's body of work the same way Prince looked at his own body of work as one. So all of them, I mean there are others here with us. This is the one I have bootleg, but I want the real version. It was the controversy album. I mean, I had heard all of the albums prior to that one, but I really jumped on board when controversy came out. I thought the song itself, controversy was so different, and then Private Joy, Let's Work, Zoomy Baby, all that. That I I was all in at that point.

SPEAKER_02 56:38

I want some. I want the house. I want the case.

SPEAKER_05 56:52

Appreciate you stopping by, hanging out for a few. Thanks for subscribing, and uh, we'll see you in the future. Take care, have a good night. I would love to think that there could be some additional unreleased songs from that controversy album, maybe some extended versions. Like when I first heard the extended version of Let's Work, blew me away. Yeah, 1999. Alright, moving on. This is this is a lot of fun, guys. I appreciate all the additional information in between the questions. Sharing amongst each other, as the purple family does. So we're moving on from uh round two to round three. These are the uh for the hardcore fans, probably not too hard though. You guys are nailing it tonight, so probably not too hard for you, but we'll go. We'll move on to number 17. Uh, what was the name of Princess First Band before going solo? Way back to before before signing any record deal. Oh man, I could talk about Prince twenty-four hours a day, man. If I could Mark, Grand Central. Scott says Champagne was the first band. Well, the answer is Grand Central. Good job, guys, but uh um Scott, you are on to something because later that band was renamed to Champaign. So you're not you're not wrong. You're double right. Later named Champagne. All right. Thanks for joining, Christina. Tolliver, appreciate you joining in tonight. Tracy Tracy Face, thanks for joining, Tracy Face. Grand Central, you are correct. Grand Central was their first name, but they changed it to Champagne later. Yeah, absolutely, Mark. Why do you look familiar, Tracy Face? I say this with love. I'm digging your George Michael sex in here with your love for Chris. No, I'm not. You know, you're I'm married. I'm just having fun. I appreciate it, brother. I appreciate it. You know, you know, if I had a dime for every every time somebody compared me to George Michael, I'd probably be billionaire. It happens all the time. It's crazy. Like everywhere I go, I get that George Michael thing. Then when Robin Thick was hot, it was Robin Thick. Crazy. Um, I like George Michael. I love his music. Um, I've I've sang his music every time it comes on the radio. Or I hear a George Michael track. I'm singing it. I actually used to be in the band. Uh I did some lead singing and keyboard playing. We did a little bit of everything. We've never we've never done any George Michael stuff. 70 miles, great comparison. You got that voice for you. You got to look. I appreciate it. Lady Cataber. Yeah, remember Robin Thick used to post on Housequake back in the day. Is that right? I had no idea. I miss Housequake. Housequake.com and I miss Prince.org. I think Prince.org is taken down. I'm not absolutely positive. You were lucky this year looked like a mixture of Kurt Cobain and Robert Williams. I don't see it. I played mostly bass and drums. I should really start playing again. Yeah, I want to play again too. Actually, I'm looking to start a new band. Uh, my old band. Uh we discontinued when COVID started. Of course, all bands discontinued when COVID started. Nobody was playing live anymore. And we just never picked it back up. Members just kind of went their separate ways and have done other things. Martin Kimber is about a new Prince George. Yeah, he does great uh Prince and George Michael tributes. Martin Kimber. You guys don't know who Martin Kimber is, check him out. Former member of Color Me Bad. The word is back up. Okay, I gotta check the word. Lots of useful information information on the word. Jamming. Alright, let's get back to some questions. This is fun, guys. Appreciate it. Uh where are we? Alright.

Uh, what is the name of the instrumental jazz funk album Prince released under the name Madhouse? There are several of these, so this is this could be many answers. What is the name of the instrumental jazz funk album Prince released under the name Madhouse? Tracy says eight. The first eight. Yeah, I think the word first was left out on the question, but yeah. So yeah, the name of that album is eight released in 1987. Madhouse was fire. Absolutely. I gotta go back and get uh some of those Madhouse albums. I've got like the vinyl versions, but I need to get like uh either the CD versions, which I don't even know if they exist. You might get lucky, find them out there, but um streaming would be nice. Alright, we went on to round four. We've been going for about an hour and twenty. We'll get through round four. And possibly if you guys want to hang out any longer, I'll do some additional questions, but uh, let's go with number twenty five. Um that's too easy. Uh, okay. Here's one. Who inducted Prince into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004? Mark Trinore. You're good, Mark. Yeah, absolutely. Mark is on it, man. Mark and Steve, they're on it. Hard to believe it's only three people. That house is great, but I think as early 2000s, Jazz era tops. So Steve is answering Outcast and Alicia Keys. Luch Keys, Outcast, big boy. Outcast, Luch Keys. Oh, it's all good, Tracy. We're all family. We don't judge. So the answer is Lucia Keys, Outcast. Yep, and big boy as well. Question number twenty-seven. Um, okay. This is kind of a multi-answer. Question. What songs did Prince perform during the 2007 Super Bowl halftime show? Multiple answers here. Let's go crazy, which yes, one of 'em. Uh the question was which songs did Prince performed during the two thousand seven Super Bowl halftime show. Watchtower was one. Baby, I'm a star. There's a couple more answers. Hot Wangs. Call me when gay goes out of our end. I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but okay. Best of you all along the watchtower. I'm just thinking about the covers purple rain, big on a star.

unknown 1:22:15

She won't be computed.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:23

Hot wings, I think you got the wrong live stream, brother.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:28

I tell a joke about the woman who wants to love us.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:35

I wish he would have performed less work. Okay, yeah, the answer. You guys pretty much nailed it. There's a couple more. Uh, so the songs that he performed in the 2007 Super Bowl halftime show were Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy, Baby I'm a Star. And he did covers of uh We Will Rock You by Queen. Remember when he did that? Where the crowd was chanting it? And uh Proud Mary by Credence All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan and the best of you, the Foo Fighters. Proud Mary, he nailed Proud Mary, man. He nailed it all, man. I love this version of Watchtower. Best of you, Proud Mary.

unknown 1:23:31

All that matters, the present, the here, and now people, whatever flows. This joke is both.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:43

unknown 1:23:46

This is where she wants to be. I am what she wants to see. Never know who love so sweet.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:58

Still I can be all right. Moving on. Next question. Uh uh, and what year did Prince win an Academy Award and for which category? Sounds up.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:16

SPEAKER_05 1:25:03

Yeah, it's kind of a tough one.

unknown 1:25:05

She wants to be a big one.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:16

Eighty-five, best original score. I'm guessing the actual answer is eighty-five. And uh the category was best original song score for corporate rain.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:30

There you go.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:43

Prince wrote Manic Monday for which eighties band. That's an easy one for you.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:18

Alright. This is the last question. Um, before we think about Encore Round. Uh, question number 30. How many Grammy Awards did Prince win during his lifetime? D'Angelo's passing was like losing Prince again. Yeah, it was very, very similar to that. I wish that one wish that I've always had about D'Angelo is that we had more music from him. He only put out like three albums, but he did a live, a lot of uh live. Which was great. I didn't get a chance to see him live, but he did a lot of live tours. I just wish we would have gotten more physical music from him. Yeah, the question marked was uh how many Grammy Awards is Prince did Prince win during his lifetime? Stephanie Mills is seven. You guys are good, man. Seven? Not enough. Great answer. Not enough. Another great answer. Seven Grammys. Seven. And we'll watch him fall. Yep. I wish he would have he wanted to be uh slashed on. Yeah. Seven. Yeah, you guys are on it, man. There's nothing you guys can answer, man. Alright, do we want to? It's 9:30 my time here. We've been going for about an hour and a half. Um thinking about wrapping it up, but if you want to do a few more questions and hang out, we got about another five or ten minutes. You missed the bangles question. Yeah, the question was um. I forgot what the question was. Uh yeah, uh Prince wrote Manic Monday for which 80s band. That's what the question was. Alright, I'll ask a few more. I'll hang out for about another 10. Um, this is going back to easy, man. Let me see if I can pick a few of the tougher ones out. These are too easy. We're going back to easy, but this is kind of an encore round for you know folks that want to hang out. Let's see. And I don't know, this is one of the questions. I don't know how accurate the answer is. I mean, do we really know what Prince's actual height was? I mean, heights vary, right? I mean, at one point in his life. Why does it even matter? Sometimes he was a giant in my bird.
