Episode 1 Welcome to Right Quick!- October 29, 2025

Nandi K Welcome to Right Quick!

Vance Gowe A bite sized pop culture conversation with your favorite queer unfriendly black hotties.

Nandi K We're unfriendly today because Ginuwine has become the Ray J of the R&B supergroup TGT. Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank. I'm Nandi K.

Vance Gowe I am Vance Gowe.
Nandi K Feel free to have comments about that statement. I just saw that they had a reunion. Did you see this?

Vance Gowe No. I was going to ask. What are you talking about?

Nandi K Oh my God, you're not into the TGT lore. So years ago R&B superstars Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank formed an R&B group called TGT-

Vance Gowe I know TGT.

Nandi K Yeah, so. And if you might, you might be familiar with the famous five hour energy debacle that they had on that morning TV show where. Now fast forward, this is who Ginuwine is now. He was kinda doing what he's on right now in the back, but Tyrese and Ginuwine didn't know the song and it was a really crazy performance. Okay, they broke up because Tyrese thinks that he's bigger than the group. He was like, I got Fast and The Furious. I got millions on my name. Yes, this really happened. They broke up. That's also why his name is first, even though he's obviously not even close to the best in the group. Okay, Anyway, it looks like recently Tank had a show and TGT reunited. So the video is Tank saying Tyrese, you gotta take it back, you gotta take it all the way back. Sweet lady starts playing. The crowd goes wild.

Vance Gowe Understandable.

Nandi K GInuwine walks up, but in the back. He's wearing all white though he's wearing all white in the back. Tyrese starts singing. You know he has the crowd singing. Ginuwine is out doing this dance. And if you have seen Ginuwine's legs as of late. Well, they're not holding them up all the time. Well, we can say that they're a little wobbly. They're a little thin, they're a little unstable.

Vance Gowe Frail.

Nandi K Yeah, but when he's on the ground. Oh, and he wants to blow them out. They're out wide the gap. I've never seen a thigh gap this wide in my life. Anyway, he is like a talented Ray J. Like that's how he behaves on stage. And I'm kind of here for it.

Vance Gowe So when you say Ray J. Ray J dances like a crackhead or Ray J is a crackhead?

Nandi K Yeah, I think I would maybe go with Ray J is a crackhead, but I mean, I don't know if Ray J be dancing, but it has Ray J energy and I think it has like, crackish energy.

Vance Gowe Crackish. There it is. Yeah. So he dances crackishly.

Nandi K Mhm. Extremely.

Vance Gowe Every time I see him dance, he does look like a seven year-old. Like a little black kid that, you know, is like doing the greatest hits but uncoordinated.

Nandi K Correct.

Vance Gowe Okay.

Nandi K Correct.

Vance Gowe Then what did Tyrese finish the song?

Nandi K Well, obviously the video cuts off.

Vance Gowe Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know if it's two minutes, but what Tyrese was doing like. I mean, I guess you do ignore it and you just sing the song.

Nandi K I sent it on Facebook Messenger just because it's so crazy. Even if you watch it on mute, I feel like the point gets across. Um, it's truly I saw it two days ago and I've just been like, have you seen this video to everyone? Uh. Especially when I was getting ready for this episode, I was like, oh, it's it's because of Ginuwine. It's because of him.

Vance Gowe I used to love Ginuwine.

Nandi K Listen, he's done enough. This is like I wouldn't. He's done enough. This is just like Mariah Carey. You don't need to do anymore. You've done enough.

Vance Gowe Tyrese. I mean, it's not surprising he's the most delusional member.

Nandi K Uh, I mean, we know he's delusional in general.

Vance Gowe I, I told the story online a couple years. Uh, maybe last year, remember? Well, I was in Kuwait for some reason. Uh, I was at the children's hospital cleaning out the basement, and there was a stack of, uh, posters that had Tyrese's name on it. It was Tyrese, and it was on a sign, and I asked the lady at the hospital, like my liaison, I was just like, hey, I thought it was funny. I was like, Hey, what is this? And the lady was like, oh yeah, Tyrese, this this guy Tyrese. He was, uh, vacationing in Kuwait because you know, that nigga love putting on a turban and going to the Middle East.

Nandi K And do and do.

Vance Gowe So he was in Kuwait for some reason and he was like, oh, I want to go like see the kids at the hospital, which, you know, commendable. So he comes to the hospital and they're telling the Kuwaitis or telling the kids and their parents like, oh yeah, Tyrese Gibson's coming. And they all go by surnames out there. So they're like Gibson, Gibson, Gibson. So apparently the families, parents, they thought that Mel Gibson was coming. So Tyrese gets there of course. And the the lady was saying that this man, he was a dad, he was hella disappointed because he thought that Mel Gibson, he got Tyrese black ass. So Tyrese entertain for the kids. The kids don't know who the fuck he is. The parents thought it was Mel Gibson. So this nigga got like a hundred posters in the basement. At this I screamed and the lady did not know why. I thought it was so funny and I couldn't really explain it to her. But I was dying.

Nandi K It's hard to explain it. The lore is so deep. The lore is so deep. At this point. It goes back so far. Like to explain how we got the Tyrese of today with just. It's like. How much time do you have?

Vance Gowe Right. I wish you would have just stayed in the back of that bus.
Nandi K Well.

Vance Gowe Did we start the timer?

Nandi K No we didn't. I was just about to say. That's a great segue.

Producer Oh, no. We have eleven minutes and fifteen seconds.

Nandi K Oh, okay. The timer got started, so. Yes.

Producer Oh, no, I started the timer. Yeah, I'm I am I am producing I am you guys be talent be magic.

Nandi K Thank you. Thank you for making it happen. Well, it is our first episode. And so we thought that this was a good opportunity to introduce ourselves and let you, all the listeners, get a taste of what you have to look forward to. Vance, Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Vance Gowe All right, so my name is Vance Gowe. That's spelled like g o w e, you know, but it's go. And, uh. What do I do? I'm a figment of your imagination. Like, basically, I'm just like a wild internet nigga. Like, if nigga consciousness on the internet gained sentience, that's kind of how I feel. Like I, uh, the space I occupy, uh, in real life. I mean, I like to do community and things like that. I like to cook, I like community, I like to say wild shit. That's. That's who Vance Gowe is. Vance Gowe is just a, you know, fun time, uh, aka the jive turkey.

Nandi K I feel like the jive turkey is really, like, who you are, a myth. Yeah, yeah. enigma?

Vance Gowe Do we?

Nandi K That's our moment right there. Nigtionary. Yes. Yeah. That's our Nigtionary entry, the jive turkey. About the jive turkey.

Vance Gowe All right. We'll insert it here.

Vance Gowe The jive turkey mythological being that shows up typically a little late, often empty handed. Shows love to the cool relatives and babies and leaves with at least one to go play. Leave a bowl of Hennessy out for the jive turkey and he'll bless your home.
Nandi K Well, I'm Nandi K. I wouldn't call myself an internet personality. I would just call myself a personality all around. Um, I do a little bit of this, a little bit of that. I love to talk and I love to read more importantly, which is a lost art. And I'm excited to be doing a podcast with a friend of mine who reads.

Vance Gowe Period. Uh, I like to read people and books.

Nandi K Mhm. That's true. You don't read people that much though.

Vance Gowe Like I don't. I like to, I like to give like kinda side-y like quick little barbs and digs. More so than like going in. Yeah that's true.

Nandi K Yeah that's fair. I'm like you are good at it. It's not that you're not good at it. It's just that you don't do it. I think I would love to see you, be reading bitches down. But then maybe you would be too powerful, I don't know.

Vance Gowe Yeah. I try to use my powers for good. Like I'd rather keep it haha Hehe, you know, I'd rather keep it light. But some people do deserve to be, like, is it “drug” or “dragged”?

Nandi K Both?

Vance Gowe You know what I mean, though? Y'all know what I mean. Some people,

Nandi K I'm like, I don't know what I'm like. I, I do like to bring down the mood. I say this, uh, this is today is my fourth day on Zoloft, so who knows, anything could happen. Folks, that could change. Maybe SSRIs will heal me. It's possible. Anything is possible.

Vance Gowe Anything.

Nandi K But I do like to bring down the mood because I feel like as much as I like to play and I do love to play, everyone knows I love to kiki, I love to laugh. And also, you know, the Bible says for everything there is a time and sometimes it's time to be fucking serious. And I'm like, “hey, can I talk to you for a second?” “Hey, do you have a second so we can chat?”

Vance Gowe Terrorism.

Nandi K “Can I pull you to the side?”

Vance Gowe Terrorism. And so, Mr. Krabs meme, you know, just the world spy. Oh, no.

Nandi K Yeah, but I'm a confrontational. That's what it is. I'm confrontational. I don't like to bring the mood down. I'm confrontational and sometimes the mood be too up and shit ain't up. Ain't nothing sweet, nigga.

Vance Gowe And you definitely give parent when the house is too happy and it's not clean. And it's like, oh no, I need to remind you all that.

Nandi K No, it's not like that. I like happiness. No, no, no. The two dishes in the sink.

Vance Gowe There are two dishes out there.

Nandi K but if you have not cleaned the bathroom in four weeks, like we're not gonna be-

Vance Gowe And you're doing the heel toe in the living room,

Nandi K I'm like, you're in here having a dance party. I can't use my own bathroom. No.

Vance Gowe You just did a backflip and the bathroom mirror got toothpaste.

Nandi K It's like, whatchu mean you took up tumbling?

Vance Gowe So many iterations of podcasts. We had, uh, the, the what is the Anna-Mae Blacks.

Nandi K We tried Anna-Mae Blacks to even say we had is being very generous.

Vance Gowe We recorded some stuff. We might have to release it from the vault.

Nandi K I'm like, I'm pretty sure I'll have to check and see if I have those episodes. I don't know, I'll have to see if I, I might have them in my Google drive, but I don't even know. Yeah, it's hard to find like the right format.

Vance Gowe What happened?

Nandi K Wait. Hold on. Did you say what happened?

Vance Gowe Yeah. What happened?

Nandi K Let's back up. Well, what I would say is that we had a standing calendar invite, but you often did not act like there was a standing calendar invite. I would say the reason that tracks as well. I would say that the reason that it didn't, you know, work out is because, you know, you're flaky.

Producer Um, and with that five minutes, five minutes, five minutes, five minutes. Oh, thank you so much.

Vance Gowe Oh, thank you so much. Um. Faceless benefactor, audio person,

Nandi K Mr. Haversham. Wait-

Vance Gowe Okay, so we moving on. Oh. Moving on. Interesting. Interesting. Skipping forward. Interesting. No accountability. We haven't even talked about the description. The synopsis. Oh, sure. Yeah. Of the podcast. I mean, this is it. I mean, honestly, this is it. Like the nameless benefactor being like, hurry it up. Somebody's getting dragged here for some reason, but we're moving it.

Nandi K Yeah. And usually we would have, like, you know, a topic maybe like our nameless, faceless producer who's not nameless or faceless. Who’s not nameless or faceless. They might, you know, moderate for us, you know, um, and maybe you might hear something like this.
[a clip from another episode plays]
Nandi K: I think we both have some cult experience. I feel like mine is more recent. I feel like I ended up in cults even later in life, but. Our cults are kinda in similar pipelines
Vance Gowe So, I barely know, like I know a little bit about your cult. But I feel like I didn’t watch the documentaries.
Nandi K: Smart
Vance Gowe: It’s well documented that my cult is J-Dub (JW) Jehovah Witness. [Laughs] I have complicated feelings about it, cause I don’t feel like it’s the worst cult, but it’s a cult. Like..
Nandi K It’s kinda joyless though. I feel like it’s pretty bad because, there’s no holidays. [giggles] Like, that don’t feel extra oppressive?
Vance Gowe [Laughs] Well… [laughs]
Nandi K [Laughs] I’m just saying! It’s like, you can’t celebrate your birthday?
Vance Gowe [studders] So I’m laughin’ because I feel like I’m defending it. And I’m just like, put it like this: If you don’t grew up gettin' a thang, you don’t care that you not gettin’ it. You know what I’m sayin’?
Nandi K [solemnly] Sure.
Vance Gowe As a kid, if you’re not celebratin’ your birthday you’re like ‘oop. Ok’ And then like, your parents are literally telling you, your birthday don’t matter; you’re like yeah, it’s true…. I mean as I’m saying it out loud, I can feel how that is.. Problematic
Nandi K But what about when you, like, went to school? Because when I was in elementary schoo, I had a friend in school named Francis. And Francis was Jehovah’s Witness. And whenever it was somebody’s birthday, Francis couldn’t even participate. Like, he wasn’t even allowed to eat no cake or nothin. Like, it was his parents, not like, the school. Of course we wanted to sneak and include him but, it was like, he was a strict Jehovah’s Witness . So when you were at school, did you participate in other kids’ birthdays?
Vance Gowe Well, yeah. So we were fake - I feel like we were fake Jehova Witnesses. Like, my mom- I always say we was Reservists. Cause, on the weekends
Nandi K [laughs] Not Reservists as a Jehova’s Witness. Wow. So you ARE in a second cult when you put it that way.
Vance Gowe Yeah! I was a Jehvoa’s Witness Reservist so, like, my mom, was like, fake, right? So, because she was fake, we was fake. Cause we doin’ what she doin’ So we, spent a lot of time with my grandparents. Which is why we have the belief, but they wasn’t playin that shit. Ike, My grandma called, what’s his name? The white man that runs Christmas?
Nandi K Santa Claus? [laughing]
Vance Gowe Yeah, Santa! She call him ‘Ho Ho’ [laughing]
Nandi K But that's just a little bit of what we have in store, and we're looking forward to spending more time with you. [Beep] Who is today's episodes? Vance. Who is today's?
