3:04 am
i also think it creates a sense of community, as well. yeah. we show up every sunday at the same time. this is actually how we met a lot of our students too. i appreciate what you're doing for the youth. and i'm sure adults want to do this, too, or anyone that walks by. you know, you're welcoming of everyone. ben "boxwon" barnes: absolutely. all right. we're on the train, the el train. we're going to your hometown. yeah, i've been taking this train my whole life. i grew up in philly. i grew up in fishtown. it was very much, like, a working-class neighborhood when i was growing up. and now there's so many bars and restaurants and tons of public art. so you're a celebrated curator here in philadelphia not just for murals, but the arts as a whole. yeah. when you hear people say your name, they're like streets department-- you're walking by. you're not an artist yourself. where did that love spark? well, i became a part of the art community by being interested in. it's why i started the blog to begin with 12 years ago now. philadelphia is a city for artists, a city of murals, a city of public art, a city of great galleries and museums. and i wanted to use the talents i have to continue to bring attention to them in the ways

that i can. you can't do anything alone. sibley scoles: no. you need community. 3, 4, that's it. that's all you need. one more, one more. - kick it hard. kick it hard. if you could break down breaking, what would you say it is? if you've ever seen "harry potter," you know the room of requirements? yes. that's basically what this is for us, right? it only appears to us when we need it most, and it will always have what we need when we ask it. oh, yeah, that's perfect. [screams] we'll bring you down, we'll bring you down. there you go. [applause] sibley scoles: for the last leg of our tour, we're hittin'-- (singing) south street. south street. bom, bom, bom, bom. - is that the official song? uh, yeah. sibley scoles: an area best described as-- conrad benner: artsy. it's historic. it's bohemian. it's now. it's the past. sibley scoles: not to mention, unexpected. we just passed it. it's right there. what?

3:07 am
serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your healthcare provider. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. no matter where life takes you, biktarvy can go with you. talk to your healthcare provider today. need to be at your best? you need an antiperspirant that goes beyond. dove men with 72 hour protection, plus care for your skin. so you can forget your underarms and focus on being unforgettable. dove men. forgettable underarms. unforgettable you. ♪ on your period, sudden gushes happen. say goodbye gush fears! thanks to always ultra thins... with rapiddry technology... that absorbs two times faster. hellooo clean and comfortable. always. fear no gush.

[music playing] sibley scoles: i once read cooking is like love. it should be entered into with abandon or not at all. and someone who fully embodies that notion is the latest star to emerge from philly's outstanding culinary landscape, two-time james beard nominee, chef amanda shulman. amanda! amanda shulman: hi, sibley. hi! sibley scoles: an experience at her place is like going to a fun dinner party that's serving some pretty serious food. what she cooks is what you get, and you always go home full. what shall i do? we are finishing up some prep for lunch. peeling the skin off of these cherry tomatoes, and then they're going to get marinated in this bright dijon

vinaigrette, and they, like, pop and burst, and super juicy. back-to-back best emerging-- [music playing] how did we get there? honestly, i don't know how we got there. [laughter] this was actually supposed to be a popup in the middle of the pandemic. and it's cool that this small little thing we're doing here is resonating with so many people. i feel like what you just described is going to be a big conversation at the meal that we're going to have today with everyone that's joining us. on the guest list are a few close friends who, along with amanda, have catapulted philly to the top of our nation's food scene. james beard award-winning chad williams, nok suntaranon, and ellen yin. i am so happy that this year-- i know you're all so busy. i love to take a break.

3:12 am
hey, can you set up a truffle plate? man: friday, saturday, sunday, the philadelphia restaurant in a small townhome in rittenhouse. i'm from here. i grew up here. seeing the city finally get its recognition is incredible. sibley scoles: this is some of the best gnocchi i've ever had. oh, my goodness. how you doing? oh, wow, i am doing amazing now. i experienced fork, by the way. mm-hmm. sibley scoles: i almost ate that entire fish. it is so good. well, thank you. fork is our longest-running restaurant. a. kitchen-- we've been there for 10 years, and high street hoagies-- we've been there for five years. and our new restaurant will be about the bread and about the grains. i love carbs, so. [laughs] for me, when i heard they announced my name, it's just like, i did it, i did it, i did it. and next thing i thought was like, who's gonna be next? i want this to stay in philly. oh, yeah, for sure. i am greedy. i'm selfish. sibley scoles: oh, i love thai food. does this look like thai food to you?
3:13 am
sibley scoles: no. that's gorgeous. it is. just like us. [laughter] yes! for me, as an immigrant that landed in philadelphia, this city has just welcomed me with open arms. the recognition means i did something that i could give back to the city. it's beyond dream. a lot of people would say, why not new york? i know it's close, but you know, it's always recognized. new york always is. but what is it so special about philadelphia, where it's like, no, i want to stay here, this is where i want to grow? honestly, the price point of new york is so much higher, from a rent perspective, that the stakes feel a lot riskier to try something new. nok suntaranon: we are not in new york. of course, because we are not new york, we are philadelphia, we do what we do here. everyone that walks through our door feels like they're welcome. they're part of our life. they're part of our business. and it's just nothing but love. will you marry me?

dove men. sibley scoles: shopping just does not stop in philly, because here at the yowie hotel, not only do you get a great stay-- there are 13 different suites, not one is identical-- you can literally purchase anything that's in the room, including the paint on the walls. this couch-- it could be yours. i love this. i might need this as well. from the plants to the art on the walls, which is from a majority of artists out here in philly. you can go down to the cafe, or you can check out the catalog.
3:18 am
they have everything there for you. everybody likes to keep things local and for the people out here. and for the artists, philly's crane arts in northern liberties has five floors of affordable studios and workspaces for creative-based businesses to produce and thrive. prajjé, we're here! oh, welcome to atelier prajjé oscar. i walked into the crane arts building, and i was already impressed with how that structure is. and then, we walk in here. uh-huh. sibley scoles: it brings happiness. i can't stop smiling. my teeth are out the entire time that i'm here, looking at all of your pieces. it's beautiful. prajj oscar: yeah, the crane arts building is this incubator for creativity. there are tons of galleries in the first floor. this space here allowed me to have both the atelier, both the showroom in one place. you can purchase pieces in here. you're creating right in the back. you've got the mural for your grandmother. prajjé barbie is in the building.
3:19 am
season 20 "project runway: all stars," you are a fan favorite. [laughs] it always shocks me when i hear that. it started from season 19. i was new, i was young. i didn't know what to expect. this time, i wasn't there for validation. sibley scoles: right. prajj oscar: i knew i was prajjé oscar. i'm a professor here. i'm a creative director at philly fashion week. let's keep it moving to the next. right. prajj oscar: this collection, the inspiration was basquiat, the '90s, the streetwear, the mix, meld, the gender fluid. it is both a store display, but an exhibit as well. it's a justice piece. i am about the change, because of my upbringing and where i come from. it's very hard for me not to look back and really speak for those who need a voice. if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. sibley scoles: another brand that's part of the solution is grant blvd, located just down the hall on the first floor of crane arts. i love the piece that you have on right now.
3:20 am
it's so easy. this is two pieces. it's a broad pant, a tunic-style top, also has some pockets. i love some pockets. i mean, don't we all love pockets? i'm mad these pants that i have on are not from you, because there's no pockets. you are the first black-owned b corp business in north america in the fashion industry. that's correct. that is a beautiful long title. there is a lot behind it. what does that mean, exactly? b corps are companies who have really done a deep dive into their practices to submit receipts on how they're thinking about putting people and planet in alignment with profit. i was eyeing her as soon as i walked in the store. kimberly mcglonn: the hope for us as a company is that we can convert more people into thinking about how do we take care of people, how do we take care of the planet, but also to let people walk into a room and not necessarily make a splash, but take up some space. we like to take up space. [laughter] that's something that i'm hearing from every-- is it philadelphian?
3:21 am
right? this is the word we use? you all own it. prajj oscar: yeah. there's no apologies. there's no ifs, buts about it. this is just what's going to happen. [laughs] kimberly mcglonn: the city of philadelphia has such a long history of not being afraid to be the first one to do what is the next best thing. you know, first zoo, first library, so much of the fabric of the city is ripe for reinvention and for resistance. the way they receive art and the way they envision the art is completely different. i have a motto-- go down the runway in a full latex suit in a bomber jacket and a fencing mask. new york probably would have hated that. like, what is it? this makes no sense, blah, blah, blah. but here, they're like, oh, that's dope. sibley scoles: you're not in a box. prajj oscar: no, there's no box out here. it's freedom. detect this: living with hiv, robert learned he can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why he switched to dovato. dovato is a complete hiv treatment for some adults. no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato.
3:22 am
detect this: marnina learned that most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. if you have hepatitis b, don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking dofetilide. this can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. if you have a rash or allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. serious or life-threatening lactic acid buildup and liver problems can occur. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. dovato may harm an unborn baby. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: you could stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about dovato.
3:23 am
3:24 am
you could stay undetectable with fewer medicines. christian crosby: look at the music that's come out of this city.

[laughter] sibley scoles: when he's not making music with the likes of dj jazzy jeff-- you were anticipating me being garbage. no, i wasn't anticipating you being garbage. i wasn't anticipating you being good. ok, fair enough. sibley scoles: christian crosby is entertaining massive crowds as the in-arena host for the philadelphia 76ers. philly, are you ready! [crowd cheering] and as for dj diamond kuts-- i do a lot. just google me. you feel me? oh, that's it. drop the mic! you two are part of the fabric of philadelphia. you bring so much energy, you bring so much life, to whether you're a visitor coming in or you've been a fan faithful forever. being the first female dj for the philadelphia eagles
3:26 am

[crowd cheers] i was like, yo! [laughter] - that's beautiful. - my brother right here. yeah. oh, are we getting the chills? i did. i've been getting the chills this whole time. it's the vibes. sibley scoles: the vibes are ripe for a collaboration. you're not going to put me on the spot. because i will plug in my song right now, and then i will go lip-sync it. let's hear your song. dj diamond kuts: bro, you should definitely do that. oh! ay, ay. why do i feel like i heard this before? sibley scoles: yeah, we're really eating donuts-- wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. time out. time out.

(rapping) but you been actin' that hard. i used to play this song all the time. sibley scoles: shut up! making fun of my colleague-- eating donuts? --who eats donuts. should we make donuts part 2 or, like, what are we doing? christian, we can put this on a new beat and bring it back. there you go. let's do it. all right. sibley scoles: we are at wreck philly. dj diamond kuts: wreck philly is everything. i've come here for a music session. i've come here for photo shoot. i've done podcasts in here. so when you come to philly and you are a person that creates content, this is where you come. sibley scoles: i respect the hustle and the grind. it's just really inspiring.

i love donuts. sibley scoles: me, as a visitor, wanting to go out-- live music-- where are the venues that i got to get to if i'm a visitor out here? the fillmore. fillmore, for sure. you can go to-- - tla. tla. you can go to northern liberties, second street or third street. and there's a strip of bars and locations that have rock bands, that have alternative, that have jazz, r&b, and soul. there's poetry with sound all over the city. dj diamond kuts: it's a lot of venues out here and a lot of small spots, where it might hold, like, 100 or 150 people. but it's a vibe, you know what i mean? everything is for everybody. (rapping) sibley, where you at with that verse? where you at, uh. sibley scoles: you had to put that part in. [laughs] - yeah. all right. boom. right here, that's where you got to hit the verse. ok, let's go. dj diamond kuts: and can i just say, this is not a representation of the music in philadelphia at all! - i don't know what we're doing! - nah, this is just-- - we are playing around. - this is just fun. 5, 6, 7. see, i could care less about your black car, about
