00:48Yay!
00:50Yay!
00:52That's right party people, we're taking our show on the road.
00:56This is so exciting. Let me tell you something, I love the Essence Festival. I haven't met the Essence Festival in five years.
01:02Okay.
01:03We went last year and we had a ball.
01:04Jamming on the money.
01:05And Regina, it's going to be me and Tam's first time.
01:08Oh my God.
01:09I want to know everything. We keep asking Tam, what do we wear? What are the shoes? Do we bring everything?
01:14Just behave yourself.
01:15Yes, yes, we will. So this is like a big deal, right?
01:18Okay, the festival takes place from June 30th, guys, to July 3rd. So tell everyone what they can expect to see this summer. What's going down? Give us a tee tee tee tee.
01:29I'll just say that it's going to be a jam-packed weekend full of music, and food, and inspiration, and...
01:35And the real.
01:37You're going to have a show there.
01:39I'm so tired. I'm so tired.
01:43So Essence is going to take over the 504 for four days.
01:47Yes.
01:48What are some of the big names that are going to be there?

03:22By the last time I was there, I was pregnant so I couldn't have crawfish.
03:27Oh, girl.
03:28I can't wait to have the crawfish.
03:30I can't wait to have the crawfish.
03:35But you guys have to watch the real all next week for the word of the day.
