You know what? Together, I think it's like a black and white and a pop of color.
That's exactly what it is. We go together, right?
That's right.
I love your sunglasses.
Thank you. I can see with them. They're prescription, so I Yeah. That's kind of like your trademark. I feel like.
Oh, really? Cool. I love that. I'm glad that I slipped into the, you know, the old eyesight thing.
So what is your dance floor style?
Uh, my dance floor style is uh, uh, very uh, sloppy.
Can we have a little rendition?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, well now I got to do something sloppy. Um, but no, it's very it's footwork. Okay. It's all footwork. It's just in here, you know, bam. Bam, bam, bam. And I gotta pull up my pants when I do it because my belt. And then it's, you know, so it's just it's like that, you know, uh, you know, smooth, you know.
I love it. I love it. Nobody is gonna top that tonight, Mikey. Yes, they did. Just set the bar really high.
Oh, no. They they can do something.
Are you on the dance floor? Are you the person the life of the party?
This is us. Yeah, in the kitchen. We just it's a lot of this. That's about it. Yeah. And the kids go, stop it. You know, that's
That is so sweet. That is so sweet. Who are you listening to right now? So, who Who maybe that we wouldn't expect?
I got to be honest. I never play something that I already have. So, a weird thing. I'm addicted to just finding new stuff or old stuff and then putting it in my DJ set. You know, I I think my stuff is the is the greatest, you know. Kanye said that he thinks his new album is gonna be the greatest of all time. And I was quite uh offended when he said that. So I wanna know who you're listening to that we wouldn't expect you to listen to.
J. Cole. I can't
Really? J. Cole. Oh, yeah. We love J. Cole. Who else?
St. Paul and the Broken Bones, uh, Alabama Shakes, uh, J. Cole, Drake. Drake's our neighbor. So we love him.
Drake's your neighbor?
Yeah. Well, not like next door neighbor. He's he's down the street.
If Drake was my neighbor, I'd go over with like a lawn mower and be like, "Can I cut your grass?"
Yeah. You wanna see what goes on. This nice young man and he bought us dinner one night at Nobu. It's true. He did.
Is that sweet? Yes. So, there's gonna be a jelly dance floor here tonight. Yeah. I like that reaction. What is this? Wait. A jelly. How do you
I think it's interactive. Okay. Okay. I like it. Actual jelly. I like that.
I wanna know who turns you to jelly that you've met. Have you met a celebrity? Had an encounter that you went, like you were like, jelly.
I must admit, I was pretty uh, smitten over uh, Taylor Swift.
Really?
Uh, because she had just come out with her her pop record. I was a judge on the X Factor, and I was so impressed with how she came from from country to pop and she did all the dance moves and And I didn't think she's really a uh, a dancer growing up in the, you know. But it looked great. And I was really impressed and she she just And I was taken aback by it. I was uh
She's gorgeous.
She is. She's tall. She's tall. She's tall.
I don't have to ask you guys this, can you crush Who your crush is? Right. No, no. All done. So, you won a Grammy obviously. For people who are going to win a Grammy, or never won a Grammy before, what does that feel like?
Oh, it's It's as beautiful as you would you would think. It's a It's a wonderful experience to be recognized by your your peers. And it's it really does mean a lot. I don't think any of us make our music to get a Grammy. That's it doesn't work that way. And you don't win one.
Yeah.
You win it for the wrong reason. You would never win one that way. And and it's just it's a fun night that that you just get to celebrate and and it's just a really fun party and enjoy it.
Everybody always says when you go up to make a speech, it's like a blur. They don't remember it.
No, you don't ever remember that. No, no, no.
That's a bummer.
Yeah. But it's all good.
