Welcome to Dunzo. This is a podcast that explores hookups and breakups of

famous lovers and friends both real and fake and all the discarded pop culture

of yesteryear.

I'm your host if donezo. It's me Troy McE.

And I am so excited for today's episode for many reasons.

For one thing, I have not had a Rianna moment on this podcast yet,

so this is like pretty groundbreaking.

This is a big deal for me today. I've had many requests and I am joined by DJ Louis the 14th from the pop pantheon podcast. Louis, how are you?

I'm doing amazing and I'm so excited to be here with you because I'm such a fan of you and of the podcast and of Riana, who's actually

Riana. I don't know if you've heard.

And I can't promise that I will call her Rianna,

like even just now it felt uncommon, like the hairs on my arms just rose.

I just can't bring myself to say it but I want to be a good person do you know what I mean?

I do and you know I had to really go through this because as you know on my podcast

Pop Pantheon where we talk about

pop stars I just recorded a series of episodes on her yeah I've obviously like the

rest of humanity been referring to her as Rihiana for my entire last 15 years.

Yes. But she is on record saying that it is technically Riana like from her own mouth right the other thing about it is that I feel like it's still cool to call her Riana because as I was like thinking about this she has said

Riana I know like when she says that Riana rain just won't let up on hard. She says Riana so she clearly she adapted to like the way we were mispronouncing her name and like took it on herself.

Also not to be too fine print about it but when she performs what's my name?

When she says oh no not when she does the call back to the audience she says

Rianna she does the call back to the audience she says Rianna she does.
