01:07Uh, my incredible team, my mom, my glam.

01:12Oh, yeah.

01:12Because I am not the easiest person to glam.

01:14I'm very picky.

01:17And can you do it like this?

01:18Let me just get the pencil.

01:20You're so me.

01:35All the R&B legends that came before me.

01:39You know, John B is one of my favorites.

01:41They don't know.

01:42Janet Jackson, Alicia Keith, Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, I mean, pretty much

01:52everybody I mentioned in my speech.

01:54Mm-hmm.

01:55Great songs.

01:57Burr Bacharach is my favorite songwriter ever.

02:00Um, yeah.

02:02It's incredible.

02:03I think that's so amazing.

02:04And last kind of serious one, what do you give flowers to your fans for?

02:07I give flowers to my fans for like understanding that I'm human.

02:10Um, my true supporters do not treat me like I'm expendable.

02:15They don't treat me like I'm a product.

02:17Yeah.

02:17They're always correcting people when they're like, Mooney Long.

02:20They're like, it's money.

02:22Say it right.

02:23And their money ain't long, so how would they know?

02:25Exactly.

02:25But they will argue you down.

02:27They will, yeah.

02:28In the comments, okay?

02:29And like, when I go live on TikTok, a lot of my, um, supporters that I'm familiar with,

02:34I'll let them be my moderators.

02:36Love.

02:36They'll block you in a minute.

02:38Period.

02:38Don't come in my life trying to talk crazy or bully me because you're out of here.

02:42They don't play about money long.

02:53Okay.

02:53It says on here that you know how to use a bow and arrow from growing up on your family's

02:56farm in Florida.

02:57I do.

02:58That's crazy.

02:59I'm not very good at it.

03:00No?

03:00Are you sure?

03:01No, I'm not.

03:01I'm good at throwing a hatchet.

03:03Okay.

03:03Well, that's even scarier.

03:04I can do that.

03:04Okay, so Katniss Everdeen, right.

03:07Yes, I'm good at throwing a hatchet.

03:09I can kind of shoot a bow.

03:10I can't really aim really well.

03:11And I'm really good with a BB gun.

03:13Okay.

03:14Oh, Survivor Girl.

03:15I love that.

03:16Listen, if the end of the world, have you ever seen The Book of Elijah?

03:19Yes.

03:20If it's the end of the world, we're going to eat some cat.

03:23Okay, when we squirrel.

03:24I'm going to go shack up with money long.

03:26Only at the end of the world.

03:27We don't do that.

03:28We don't eat those beautiful, fluffy, cute little animals.

03:31Exactly.

03:32But if that was all we had, we'll be all right.

03:35I'm going to ask money to go ahead and throw some hatchets.

03:37Stick with me, baby.

03:40Congratulations.

03:41You're amazing.
