WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:10.919
What up, guys, it's your
girl Lady's finger and we are back with

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.759
another episode of Jens and Tonic.
So we told y'all we were heading to

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.440
the Usher concert and we are here
to let you know how it went,

4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.519
and white it went. Did we
enjoy? Yes, we definitely enjoy.

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.440
He definitely put on a show.
You got your Usher dollars with the people.

6
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:35.520
I should that making us. She
was making a ring. The girls

7
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.439
was doing their things. If I
had real dollars, they would have got

8
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.960
them. Shorty in the red was
she in a red? The light skin?

9
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:55.399
No, the light skin, thick
girl with she was a dancer,

10
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.520
she was more than a stripper.
Let's let's get real. And she on

11
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:15.680
the thickest one in the show,
thickets one in the show. Yeah it

12
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.000
was nice. Yeah, the dancers
are what made the show for me.

13
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.280
I mean, don't get me wrong. Usher did his thing, but the

14
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.640
dancers made the show for me.
If it was just Usher, I would

15
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:34.840
pass. But the dancers, they
killed it. They brought energy, they

16
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:41.400
brought personality, I mean, flexibility, acrobatics, what else they brought it

17
00:01:41.439 --> 00:02:00.879
off. If it would would have
went without him like it was, it

18
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.640
was a whole show it was a
whole package, right, So he put

19
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.240
together a great show, but they
made it for me. That's my opinion.

20
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:15.280
That let's talk about our seats.
So, guys, we were in

21
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:22.199
the pit. I paid extra money
to be in the pit, right,

22
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.599
I'm old. So the stage is
circular, part of the stage circular.

23
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.240
No, the stage is circular.
No, no, because we're in the

24
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.960
middle of the circle. The stage
is behind us. Then there was a

25
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.439
circular stage and we were in between
both. I think that's what I said.

26
00:02:40.800 --> 00:03:17.560
Um, okay, anyway, people, um over forty. I would

27
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.439
like to have a seat and rest
my feet. I would like to not

28
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:30.840
do the um. I was influenced
by a close friend to go for the

29
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.879
pick. Yeah, well it was
a few dollars more. I wanted my

30
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.000
man to be up close to see
an artist that he enjoys and be able

31
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.360
to see the sweat rip off of
him. Hey boy, see if we

32
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:53.000
see a sweat drip off him?
So much so that I backed up quite

33
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.800
a few times, not trying to
have that sweat and drip on me.

34
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.800
But that being said, all jokes
aside, I'm not a fan of the

35
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.919
pit. It wasn't horrible. I
would have preferred to be sitting down.

36
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.399
I felt like I was a part
of the production by being in the pit.

37
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.360
I saw when they were pulling things
on and off the stage. I

38
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.240
started, you know, the stage
hands talking to each other, commuted,

39
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.199
communicating with the dancers, communicating with
each other, pulling the water out for

40
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.480
us, You're putting the towels up
for us. I didn't need to see

41
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.600
all of that. It took a
little bit away for me. No,

42
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:41.040
No, think there was a point
where I was staring at him into the

43
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.720
actual production great, but there was
a point where I was staring at all

44
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.519
Black while he was up on the
pedestal, when if I was on the

45
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:53.560
front, I would have seen everything
else. It's not a great place for

46
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.160
to watch the show because a woman
and you're looking this way, then next

47
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.279
minute your churning around if here where
where everybody at ship? So you're looking

48
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:09.759
at and you're looking right. We've
been sitting down the whole show, the

49
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.120
full picture. So if that's what
you want, and I think to thoroughly

50
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.480
enjoy the entire experience, you need
to be over there, not in the

51
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:23.319
pick. You need to pay for
the vv vvv I P. Why bring

52
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.079
you the food and the drinks and
all that good stuff. The section up

53
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.480
on the stage, I don't think
it's worth it. He didn't even go

54
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.959
over there for those people that paid
what whatever, a little extra attention to

55
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:39.399
those that were in the middle for
a second or a second. Because the

56
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.240
people that want every regular seat and
got the got their time he went out

57
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.920
there, they didn't get this close
and personal, so up close and sweaty

58
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:54.240
personal space. If you could do
without the sweat, which I definitely could

59
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.079
have done without the sweat because I
had to fix my face. That we're

60
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.079
seeing that, you have to appreciate
the fact that he's going through all of

61
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.720
that. Wow, the man was
working. The man was working. Like

62
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.240
you can see, he was like, this sweat is attacking me right now,

63
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.759
chipping on all of his eyes,
his eyes, and he was like,

64
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.480
oh yeah. But he managed it
well, like he's like, all

65
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.160
right, well, I gotta keep
going. I'm not gonna say it like

66
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.040
Tito, bring me a towel.
You know. He actually just kept going.

67
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.720
He did this thing. Yeah,
he did this thing. It was

68
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:33.120
definitely an entertaining show. Definitely entertaining, and the one kid that I thoroughly

69
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.800
enjoyed the most. I was so
upset because I was like, oh my

70
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.120
gosh, are they not gonna do
a little something where the dancers come out

71
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.040
and get their shine. I could
give him a high five, and my

72
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.040
man Rob said, but they did
that. That was when they showcased everybody.

73
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.759
I was like, going on showcased
everybody, put them on the screen,

74
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.920
put their name on it. They
were two people from Brooklyn. It

75
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.279
wasbody from Flatbush but flap Bush.
Yeah, and it was a check.

76
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.120
She had brooken on her back.
I know she really represented Brooklyn. She

77
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:00.639
had broken on her back, so
we're gonna take it. And she was

78
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.399
Hella Nice. That was the light
skin shorty with the braids. Don't know

79
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:10.319
her name, but the person who
held my attention with the energy, to

80
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.439
personality everything. I can't tell his
name right now, but I'm up this

81
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.920
Aiden. But what was the last
name? Oh my god, go follow

82
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:24.000
Aiden unshers dances listen. I walked
out where exit in the theater and put

83
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.120
it. Yes, we'll put it
up there. Aiden happened to be standing

84
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.439
on my left and I did a
full stop West Indian like, oh,

85
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.439
what how you seeing some long type
of thing. I pointed at the man

86
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.720
and I was like, you you
made the fucking show for me, and

87
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.600
he was just like ah really and
I'm like, dude, you killed it.

88
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:48.720
I'm lying, you know, oh
my god, yes, like you

89
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:53.560
he could have been the show.
Again. The dancers are what made it

90
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.639
for me. And when I said
he brought the energy, the style,

91
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.199
young dude, not then look that
all whatever. They had all age groups

92
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.560
up there, which was nice.
I like, it was very all inclusive

93
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:11.839
size, age, gender. It
was nice. But this kid made the

94
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.319
show for me. And the fact
that I got to tell him that was

95
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.759
very satisfactory for me, right,
you know, I got to thank him,

96
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.519
like thank you, and he was
just he was very humble and I

97
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.680
was like I need me yeah,
and I'm like, nah, you did

98
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.080
that as like you made my night. I'll show you did your thing.

99
00:08:31.440 --> 00:09:03.600
But your dancer, Aiden, he
is the fucking bob okay and all of

100
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.840
that, all of that, all
of that all right, well, I

101
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.600
mean that pretty much wraps it up. Aiden was the show. Oh.

102
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.519
I wanted to say it was the
whole show, but I mean, like

103
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.600
Aiden, young girl with the braids, the professional you said, spers,

104
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:41.960
they were professional, whole corrected brot
enough, it's been that's been disrespecting these

105
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.919
people on the pole because they were
putting in work work, they did the

106
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.519
thing. I was in awe.
Yeah, I said it was a whole

107
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.600
product. You won't see that.
You saw that. It definitely was a

108
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.200
whole and did the thing. I
can't say enough about it, enough good

109
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.679
things about it. You're saying you
did a two start. Yeah, I

110
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.519
enjoyed it. Yeah right, So
that was our Ussher experience. Definitely.

111
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.000

112
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.159

Usher residency. Recommend it. I'll show

113
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.919
you the good thing. Good job
on the dancers, keep them, do

114
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.440
not switch them out. Pay them. They deserve it. They're the bomb

115
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:35.360
saw you put them dancers though.
Yeah again, I don't know. The

116
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.679
dancers were great, but you can't
make a show without the performer ship and

117
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.519
that's it. I should, Raymond, guy, what is it? You
