Hey, this is Jad here with Simole Yayi and last time we talked to you in this feed it was all about Dolly Parton, but we actually have a new project that just came out.

00:00:19 Speaker_02
Yeah. Like the Dolly series, it revolves around one person, but unlike Dolly, it's someone that you might've never heard of.

00:00:25 Speaker_02
Starts with music, but then it goes into all of these other places, kind of a constellation of stories, a lot like Dolly Parton's America.

00:00:32 Speaker_00
Yeah. In fact, why don't we just play the promo?

00:00:33 Speaker_02
Let's do it. This is the story of a man who changed your world.

00:00:41 Speaker_03
Oh, wow. See, I would have claimed this brother right here. This dude, good God, why don't we have like three movies about this dude? Record owner, lawyer. I mean, he's like the vocational MacGyver. This is how America invades the world.

00:00:59 Speaker_03
Like this is the greatest music of all time. But then. It's like poof.

00:01:08 Speaker_02
vanished.

Somebody pretending to be somebody that they're not. I need to think about why, but when Neshima was telling me the story, all I could think was, oh, that's the white boy right there.

00:01:18 Speaker_01
That's hilarious to me. I don't know what he is talking about. This looks like a black man to me. I want you to see what I see. Once I was at a festival and some guy came up to me and he said, what are you? What are you?

00:01:32 Speaker_01
My parents put me in front of a mirror. They said that I asked, what am I?

00:01:36 Speaker_00
It's the story of an American riddle.

00:01:38 Speaker_03
It's a mystery.

00:01:40 Speaker_00
Wrapped in a family secret. It's a mystery.
