Qool Marv Plays for Oprah Winfrey at HBO Films Premiere of the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks at TAO Downtown New York City on April 18 2017

---------

The after party for the NY premiere of the HBO film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks starting Oprah Winfrey. Amazing and sobering Hidden Figures level historical.

Started the night with Toccata by Dizzy Gillespie and his Orchestra, a song I heard when I saw the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform to it.

My Mom, who came from Philly for the night, told me that she saw Oprah grooving and said she thought to herself, "Oh my God, Oprah's dancing to my son's music!"

Pride & Joy

A beautiful night.

Thank you, HBO!

We're thrilled to talk with the hilarious and hairy, husband and husband comedy duo of Dick & Duane on this week's hot new episode. Richie Cohen and Duane Tragis had us in stitches and we just wish you could SEE the whole thing (we did it via video Skype) because besides being funny, they are so bearishly cute, too. They'll tell you how they've been together since they were teenagers, how they got started doing their ingenious brand of sketch comedy, why they decided to bare it ALL in online pictures and videos (which are not work safe), and all about the new web series they're working on. Their segment kicks in at the 32:20 mark in the episode.

Also up this week, Dale & Scott are on-location at the Paradise nightclub in Asbury Park, New Jersey for a chat with the Swish Edition's very first lady spinner! New York City's DJ Kim Dazy was at the shore for the weekend, entertaining the beach goers and taking a break from her permanent gig at Manhattan's Henrietta Hudson. We always wondered how deejays feel out a crowd, so we asked, duh. The goal is to fill out the floor and build from there...playing the pop dance hits and then building from there, adding in a few tracks the kids may not necessarily know. She explains the differences between music tastes between the ladies and the gents, why some club crowds demand the hits they can dance and sing along to, what the summer crowd is like at the shore. This eclectic deejay has worked Gay Days Orlando, Miami's Winter Party, and many others. And we're thinking we need to get this chick to DC some time soon. There just aren't enough lady deejays 'round these parts. Our chat with Kim starts at the 57:00 mark.

Plus, the hosts talk about Dale's "Thing;" Steve's night at the theater; Dale & Scott's weekend sitting on their asses; Scott's poor 16 year old Dalmatian; the cum-like lube Spunk; more RSVP cruise troubles; Madonna, Andrew Christian, Funny Or Die, and rapper Murs' newest videos; the guy with the world's biggest penis gets detained by the TSA; the new season of CBS' Big Brother; and, much more.
