  Speaker 4: That's it's absolutely mandatory for me to live in the
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: house with my husband. And but I do understand why
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: a person like Cheryl Lee Routh would say that. Now
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Kiki is young, I don't know, unless she just went
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: through the ring of with her baby father, I don't know.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I guess all the turmoil that they went through, I
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: guess that got her.
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: To that point. But and that could change for Kiki
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: because she's younger.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: But Cherry Lee Roth, I do understand, for one, her
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: and her husband living two different states. He's into he's
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: a politician or something like that, and she's an actress
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: and she has to be on a certain side, you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: in a certain city, because she films most of the time.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: So I understand that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Then they older, they didn't have years and years and years.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And when you get older, I do notice, because I
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: know this from my grandmother, you want your space, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: they she ain't gonna leave him like they got her
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: and my grandfather was together. They were together for so
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: long that she didn't want to leave him, but she
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: didn't want to live.
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: That's just how that was.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many how many girlfriends your grandfather.
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: We know, I don't know, Okay, I have no idea
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: because remember I told you she shot him in the ass.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Was asking right, but somebody shot me as I don't
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: know if I wan't live in the house. But that's what.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: But he bought that on the south. Now, No, for
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I was talking the truth about the church. My mother
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: didn't want me to reveal that about her.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Mama call and say, hey, don't be talking about my mama.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Now, okay, all right, yeah, yo, I gotta leave my
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: family business out of this. But yes, like I do understand,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I just don't agree with it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: For me, Yeah, I can't. I cannot be married to
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: my wife and we not live in the same house.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Like, I just can't.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Like we are up under each other and and I'm
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: fine with it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Even when we arguing. I want to look at her miserable,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: she will look at me miserable. We're just gonna be
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: miserable in the same bed together.
• 13:48
  Speaker 17: Or no, we are not.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: No where in hell. No you live in this house.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I living that. No, no, no, no, no, it's not happening.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no idea what Kicky Palmer is talking about.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: She sounds like a person who's never been married I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: would actually listen to her and respect it more if
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: she had some lived experience. Okay, what's the point of
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: being married if you're not going to live with each other.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: That's part of being married. That's how you build deep
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: intimacy with a person. That's how you share daily responsibilities.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: That's how you have a long you build long term compatibility.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Do you need space sometimes, of course? Do you need
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: me time a long time?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Of course?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Well, what's the point of being married if you're not
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: under the same roof? How does that work with the kids?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: There's nothing better than being in the bed with your
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: wife in the middle of the night and one of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: your kids come in because they say that they had
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a bad dream, but they stomach her.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: You want to be there for every waking moment. So
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I don't like no, like no, Ki.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: We have somebody on the line that said works for them.
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: Hello, who's this remain anonymous breakfast club?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: What's up? We cannot see you?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: That's all right?
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: Yes?
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Don't get this.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Works in a situation where you and your husband live
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: in your mouth.
• 14:58
  Speaker 13: It's not a situation.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: This is an actual relationship.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Don't play with me.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Break it down.
• 15:04
  Speaker 13: We are actually in a relationship. We have dated for
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: about six years, married engaged a little over two years.
• 15:12
  Speaker 11: We're not we're not married just yet.
• 15:16
  Speaker 13: Because everybody don't want the same thing, and not everybody
• 15:23
  Speaker 13: is traditional. And when I got with him, I let
• 15:27
  Speaker 13: him know I'm not the most traditional person and I've
• 15:31
  Speaker 13: stuck with that. It's more me than him. And a
• 15:34
  Speaker 13: lot of the times when you hear about people not
• 15:36
  Speaker 13: wanting to live together, it is the female. It's more
• 15:39
  Speaker 13: the female than the man. The man is like we
• 15:42
  Speaker 13: need to be under one roof.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: But I feel like that comes in like trauma, like
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: something had to happen. Why now do you ever ever
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: want a house divide it? Like you know what I'm saying.
• 15:50
  Speaker 13: It's not divided.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: It's not divided.
• 15:52
  Speaker 13: It's not divided. I sleep with him, he sleeps with
• 15:54
  Speaker 13: me every night. We're not sitting here like not together.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: It's not divided.
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: But there's no trauma.
• 16:01
  Speaker 13: There's no trauma assisted or associated with not wanting to
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: live together.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: But y'all sleep together every night. You just said how
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and then you go home on the phone or.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: What do you do?
• 16:13
  Speaker 13: Well, technically the home is next door.
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: So yeah, on the same land, just next door to
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: each other.
• 16:21
  Speaker 13: Yes, exactly what promise said.
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: Where you're right here, I'm right here.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Okay, it works.
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: You got your space.
• 16:28
  Speaker 13: We are spaces literally are right there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: There's no problem.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I'm still listening to you till you get married. That's
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the whole, biggest.
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: That's the man.
• 16:36
  Speaker 13: I'll call you back when I get married.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: You want.
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: I got my ring on my finger, but that's going
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: to be my husband.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: So question, when you have kids, who the kids gonna
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: live with?
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 16:43
  Speaker 13: No, honey, we don't have kids.
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: I'm too old to have kids. My kids are grown.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: He hasn't.
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: He does have children, but his children are.
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: Grown, semi grown, and one is kind of middle school
• 16:55
  Speaker 13: is older. Again, when is the wedding? Well, we're hoping
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: the wedding will be in the next year or two,
• 17:05
  Speaker 13: but we want to buy some homes first. We want
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: to buy some landfast, and we don't want to make that.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, So what do you do when you look at income?
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: In come?
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: Don't play with me in come?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: When you see another woman coming in that house, will
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: you do?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Then he wouldn't be living next door.
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: Why No, it's it's a reasonable question.
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: You're definitely a reasonable question.
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: There should be, but there should be if there's a
• 17:29
  Speaker 12: respect factor.
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: And you all have had that conversation, it shouldn't be
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: let's play around with each other's feelings and let's play
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: around with each other's lives. This is a conversation, like
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: Kiki Parma says, you have to have early and in
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: the beginning sometimes you probably don't think it's going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: be like, well, well maybe we'll fall in love and
• 17:45
  Speaker 13: you know, we'll change each other's minds. But people have
• 17:48
  Speaker 13: to understand that if you are honest from the beginning,
• 17:52
  Speaker 13: you can't fault a person for wanting to stick to
• 17:54
  Speaker 13: their honesty. And a lot of people just don't want
• 17:57
  Speaker 13: to live together. It's all right as long as you
• 17:59
  Speaker 13: take care of your business and I'm taking care of
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: him and he's taking care of me.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: We appreciate you. But we need to talk to some
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: married people.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: But if you're just joining us, we're talking about something
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: that Kiki Palma said about marriage. Let's listen.
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: One thing I need you to know is that I
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: never want to live together.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I like my alone time.
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: But is that real? That's real?
• 18:21
  Speaker 17: I just feel like, you know, Whoopi Goldberg said the
• 18:23
  Speaker 17: best one. She was like, I don't want a better
• 18:24
  Speaker 17: in my house.
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: Mary, even live around the corner the corner would be great.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: What about a guest where you let him live in
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: the me the guest house.
• 18:32
  Speaker 17: You know what I'm saying. We can be on the
• 18:34
  Speaker 17: same you know land. But I'm over there and he's
• 18:36
  Speaker 17: over there at best, separate rooms. But think about how
• 18:40
  Speaker 17: fun it would be to be like, I'm going over
• 18:41
  Speaker 17: to my man's house.
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: It keeps exciting. I want to go slit on his couch,
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: and he better clean when you're coming over. That's what
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: I'm saying. You know what I will say.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I'm laughing about it, but there are probably people watching
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: right now who agree with you.
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: Come on.
• 18:57
  Speaker 17: It just helps to keep I feel like sometimes you
• 18:59
  Speaker 17: can be just too.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: So we're taking your calls. Eight hundred and five eight
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: five one five.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Who's this?
• 19:05
  Speaker 11: Oh my god, it's Liz.
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Good morning.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Now Lizza, you married and you and your spouse don't
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: live in the same home.
• 19:13
  Speaker 18: Yes, I am married and we're not living in the
• 19:16
  Speaker 18: same home.
• 19:16
  Speaker 19: We just recently got married.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Congratulations down, oh, just now up twenty twenty five, Yes.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Yours, I will listen to you. Now, tell me why
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: y'all not living together?
• 19:28
  Speaker 19: Well, right now, we're trying to sort things out.
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: That's number one. He has his own apartment, leases and
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: stuff like that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 19: But let me tell you something. I was in a
• 19:36
  Speaker 19: relationship for five years and it was the worst of
• 19:40
  Speaker 19: the worst.
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: The breakup was horrible. I ended up with nothing.
• 19:45
  Speaker 18: I had to the apartment.
• 19:47
  Speaker 19: It was just starting over.
• 19:50
  Speaker 18: I understand where she's coming from, you know.
• 19:52
  Speaker 19: What I'm saying, like, it's hard to trust someone when,
• 19:56
  Speaker 19: like you know, if it doesn't end well, what's going
• 19:58
  Speaker 19: to happen with the leaves and then you have things invested?
• 20:01
  Speaker 19: What if you don't get the things back?
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: So why did you get married again? Baby?
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Don't really sound like you were ready for that because
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: you still hurt from five year relationship.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: You know, you jumped the.
• 20:14
  Speaker 19: Relationship it healed, It was actually ended three years ago.
• 20:20
  Speaker 19: And I actually met this person a year ago and
• 20:23
  Speaker 19: he actually is slowly and accepting of what I went through.
• 20:28
  Speaker 19: So he's actually allowing me to be me.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: So y'all don't live with each other, and y'all not
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: moving with each other, y'all gonna keep it that way.
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: Separate, I think they're going to.
• 20:36
  Speaker 19: Oh no, no, no, we're definitely gonna move in. But
• 20:39
  Speaker 19: I understand where she's coming from, alm amostand now because.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is because you Latino at a time like this.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: God literally.
• 20:49
  Speaker 19: He is capable of It's just like I said, you
• 20:52
  Speaker 19: have to really kind of.
• 20:53
  Speaker 18: Know the person.
• 20:53
  Speaker 19: But I also took time to heal.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I think, what happened.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Your husband?
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: Well, he's white, he's.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Now You're right. My suspicion was right, should be scared.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: He's scared to.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Move in with you.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: You know, you might get knock at the door. I'm
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: just saying you might get that knock.
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: Damn, no, no, no thing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 19: He's not going to give a knock.
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: We're well documented.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: So that's good.
• 21:31
  Speaker 19: But it was, like I said, it was I had
• 21:33
  Speaker 19: to take time to heal, like I didn't want to
• 21:35
  Speaker 19: the trauma, whoever was it was, whatever man came to
• 21:39
  Speaker 19: my house.
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: I was like, you're not going.
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: Home, like you don't have a home. D damn. So yeah,
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: she looks sar, But congratulations on you getting married. I
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: think that's dope. That's fire.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: But like I think you should like do some type
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: of therapy to get over you being scared. To live
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: with your spouse. I mean, because it's just still like
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: you still hurt from the you know what I mean.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: I know it was three years ago. That seemed like
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: a long time to you, but you taking that into
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: your new marriage.
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.

  Speaker 2: I met everybody before. How did you get you this morning?
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: Good? I got a good, nice rest. Okay, that's happening,
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: tacos for Taco Tuesday.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: She married to a Mexican, so every day is also
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: black as well.
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: So yes, I'm good.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: How are y'all doing album retrospect? Yes, sir, what did
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: this album mean to you?
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: This album is a journey back into time, the time
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: that influenced me to sign up to music. You know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: when I fell in love with music for the first time,
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: it was literally soun, R and B that filled my household,
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: Vinyl days, the collection, and my parents had a lot
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: of dancing going on, a lot of singing going on
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: in the living room. But culture as well, the block parties,
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: the skating rinks, those gatherings where your family would come over, laughter,
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: children playing, so it's a celebration.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Nobody could look at you and tell you grew up
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: in that era.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Literally, no, I'm a seventies baby. Yeah, so the whole experience.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: But I'm glad that you said that because we were
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: listening to the album and I instantly got prince Yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: So it was like that was totally intentional.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: Oh, yes, the Minneapolis sound I've worked with Jim and
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: Lewis before performed with Prince before, but that whole era
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: of funk, the performance, the aesthetics, the fashion, you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: the little I expressions and the facial expressions and the
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: hand gestures, just the ultimate performance during that time, the rehearsals.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm a musician's daughter, Yeah, and it really
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: inspired me. I've done stuff like that before on previous albums.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: I did a Rick James cover, but I just wanted
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: to embody a whole body of work, which is what
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: is what an album is to me. So retrospect is
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: literally digging into the crates of my influences and going
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: back into time, those joyful times of my childhood that
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: first influenced me and introduced me to music.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, what was that like?
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: It was beautiful, you know. I got to see him
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: two nights in a row at the O two in London,
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: and he had a lot of artists joining him and
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: I learned a lot just by being there for two nights.
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: There was a jam session of course afterward, at the
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: end of Go and of course the conversation about independency,
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: you know, the first conversation. I'd met him before that,
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: but he was a big advocate of empowerment, no sampling,
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: playing an instrument, all of those things and then really
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: investing in your craft. And they were gems that were dropped.
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: See I'm not friends. And I started this independent journey
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: very early before it was a thing, and Men and
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: nine is my label, and I didn't necessarily know what
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: it was all about when I stepped into that new territory,
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: and he was the person that was the voice of
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: reason that sort of kept me on that path even
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: when it got tough. You know, it requires you to,
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: of course finance one hundred percent. That's the way I've
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: done it, and you know, grind, but also wear several
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: different hats and wear many roles. And it's been a
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: beautiful educational journey of empowerment but learning and then also
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: developing relationships when you become the label yourself and figuring
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: it out because you know, the business of music and
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: then also the technological side of things changes every few weeks,
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: there's a new platform. So it was really wonderful just
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: to be in his presence, but also to receive the
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: spiritual conversation, the business conversations, the new business models, the
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: rehearsal conversations, fighting your niche conversations, the performance aspect of it,
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: and then encouragement how ahead we find we? Oh, I
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: mean he was in his own world. He was one
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: of one playing over seventeen instruments, you know, I don't
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: know anybody that does that, and was very passionate, articulous,
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: very detail oriented. I witnessed him doing a sound check
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: at the O two both nights, and so I actually
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: ran into him on my way to my soundcheck coming
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: from his soundcheck, and he was out there mixing on
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: the board in the front of house. And he cares
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: that much about how the audience or the listener receives
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: the art down to the mixing, and so, you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: I get asked often how come there's been an eight
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: year gap in between albums. I mean, I too, have
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: really taken my time to be in that process of mixing.
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: This is the first album that I am releasing independently
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: in Adobe Atmost, as well as Sony three sixty Spatial Audio,
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: which is an immersive experience like inside of the music's
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: around sound Go to movie three hundred and sixty degrees.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: But now that you know they're doing this with music
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: now versus just soundtracks for films.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: It's interesting because you said this is your first three
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Y album many years. It makes me think, were you
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: protecting your piece, of protecting your artistry.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Honestly, I was really just having a ball experiencing what
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: it is to create from a real, free, pure place.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: It wasn't even protection. It got very addictive that I
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: went independent because I had the freedom to create whatever
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: genre with no ceiling. I wanted to the timeline. I
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: set no deadlines. I didn't have to focus on charting
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: or numbers and validate myself based on someone else's definition
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: of success all that pressure that does come from the
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: major label system and the investment I knew, excuse me,
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: the investment I knew was going to be very boutique,
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: you know, and very startup under the radar because I
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: started in Japan on my very first few releases, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: so it was really fun because I didn't have all
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: those rules, and of course the criticism that comes with
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: releasing a full body of work over me. But that
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: was the time to get acclimated to what this independent
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: journey was about. Do it in a very under the
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: radar situation, in a one territory release here and there,
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: mix safes EPs along the way, and then something magical happens.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: Your relationships are built, you know, the process because of
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: that education and practice, and then you show up and
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: you put together an album, throw it out just for
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: the love. It gets nominated for a Grammy, and then
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: it's additional confirmation to keep going. And friends always said,
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: you know, I will help you if you stay independent,
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: And there's been so many times you want to throw
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: in the towel, questioning self, is this really worth it?
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: Do I need to go back into the system and
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: all of these things, because it is very hard, and
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: you have to be very relentless and resilient in your grind,
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: especially when you're financing one hundred percent of it, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: then sometimes people don't even know it exists. So you're
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: also getting oh, you're washed up or you fell off,
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: how come you don't make music anymore? And nobody's paying attention.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: So nobody's paying attention. So to answer your question, you know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: there's been so many times that question mark has popped up.
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: But I don't measure success in the way I used
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: to when I was in the system, because there's a
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: new definition that's been introduced to me. My sanity is
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: kept my spirit's intact. I'm literally having more fun now
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: in my forties than I was as a teenager, just
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: kind of trying to figure it out and understanding that,
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: you know, if it doesn't reach a certain number or
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: a chart position, then you can be canceled, you can leave,
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: you can be shelved. And I love music so much.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: I think I've protected just the love of the art.
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: Not intentionally, but that's what Prince was always talking about,
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: and that's what he was an advocate for, for those
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: he thought or maybe saw a little spark of love
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: and passion in so that they could preserve their art
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: themselves and still work in the business.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I was gonna ask, you know, you started
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: so young.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Well, we haven't heard a lot of maya crazy stories.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Is that because your dad is still with you now
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: and he's still got in making sure that he's controlling
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: everything else. Because a lot of times when people start young,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: you start hearing crazy stories. The industry runs them down,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: the industry makes them crazy. But we haven't heard that
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: those stories from you.
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, there's always controversy, wild stuff out there, of
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: course that I actually experienced at the birth of you know,
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: a lot of the bottom feeder type of sights. You know,
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: you can't avoid that in a public forum as a
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: public figure, and everybody's a public figure nowadays, but.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Now a whole lot.
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: On her this sit down that y'all did, and I
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: made some notes about just what it felt like being
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: there at the break of it all, because we feel
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: like we get it so bad from what we experience now.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: Anytime you step out into this world, be prepared to
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: get attacked from every direction. Even if you are mother
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: Teresa and your fundamentals, it does not matter. So you
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: do have to understand that the world that we live in,
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: plus everybody's opinion being cool on Front Street, it's going
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: to happen. And if you know that, everybody's kind of
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: going through it wonderful. We didn't have social media when
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: I was a teen, so I survived. We had, you know,
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: tabloids and blogs, but I was really under the radar
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: because also, and I'm thankful for that, because I was
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: still a test dummy when I first started. They weren't
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: sure of R and B and if it could live
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: on a rap and rock label. I was literally on
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: interscope when it was just in rock as an experiment.
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: I was not signed on my first album during their
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: investment to see if it could even work and exist.
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: I was not even signed to Interscope on my first album.
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: I was signed to Hawk Islam out of DC on
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: University Music Entertainment, So it was real soft pedal ish.
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: I didn't get the Britney Spears exposure, but we were
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: positioning and aligning on oh soundtracks, ghettle, superstar pop stuff
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: here and there, good looks to just try to figure
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: it out. So I didn't have the initial I would say,
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: stamp of approval yet I was in a real void
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: gray area like R and B. We don't know what
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: that is. We don't know if that's going to.
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: Work over here.
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: We're willing to take a chance somewhat. Let's see how
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: it does. But what's the first best business decision? Shout
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: out to Baltimore Drew Hill. Let's go. It's also on
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: the same independent label that helped me break onto the scene.
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: You know, there's a lot of piggybacking that happens you're
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: new to this business, which is a very competitive business.
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: And I'm thankful for that move, even though that wasn't
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: my first choice for the first single, I had a
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: strong camp. You know, my dad was there during that time,
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: and my mom was my accountant. She's always kept me
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: debt free and finances intact, even in the hardest times,
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: you know, so that I'm very responsible, but I also
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: understand how quick and could go out the door. But
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: also you know, to plan for the future of state
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: planning as well and what you want to avoid. So
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: I've been really truly privileged and blessed to have family
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: involved in my business but also present, so just kind
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: of keep me protected from all the things that we
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: do hear about.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Do you think social media would have helped your career
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: more hurted both both.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: You know, you get to know people too much. You know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: there can be some strong effects personally spiritually, you know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: to open yourself up to the world is dangerous, and
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of judgment that's very fragile
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: when you're learning yourself as a teenager. Yes, I see
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: it all the time with child stars in the public
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: eye trying to grow into themselves. So I think the
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: popularity and of course the investment might have been enhanced
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: because of the exposure that you get from social media,
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: but it could have gone so many different ways. Are
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: you ready for it? What are the dynamics going on
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: in your personal life? I don't think at that time
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: I would have been ready for too much popularity. I
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: was still learning me. I was also still learning the
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: business and also just how to conduct an interview, how
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: to do radio drops, like the real things when you're
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: just a newbie to any territory.
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: A lot of a lot of fans when they have
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: conversations about your career, they always talk about how like
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: your fourth album was like either was delayed or like
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: the release wasn't as big as fans felt like it
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: should have been. Yea, and they feel like it was
• 37:29
  Speaker 9: unfair to you and that's why certain things didn't happen
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: for you. Afterward. How do you do you feel about
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: that time period of your life.
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: It's so interesting looking back at that time. So when
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: I mentioned Interscope, yeah, a series of events go like
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: this hacket slam. You know, signed to an independent label,
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: they invest in you. Demos were shocked to several different labels.
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: Interscope said yes, but it's still maybe. Second album I
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: got signed to Interscope officially did another album. Third album
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: was Mood Rang two thousand three, did a tour. All
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: that I start wanting to record my fourth albums and
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: the budget was closed and they're still recouping. A lot
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: was spent making that third album with Ron Fair, and
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: you know, I didn't have management at that time. So
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: I'm now kind of in a transition where I got
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: to either put up my own money, and I started
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: to do that, and it was like a lot of
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: money every week I was spending in studios twenty thousand
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: over the course of two weeks. I said, this is ignorant.
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: What I'm gonna do is go home. I'm gonna build
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: a studio. I wanna build a rehearsal space, but I'm
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: also going to purchase a house so I can have
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: living take care of family, but also cast apprew that's
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: based from my hometown, that's hungry, that's thirsty, provide opportunities,
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: start a foundation. Because something doesn't feel right living in
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: La something is missing, and I was out there by myself,
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: so I called my dad up. I was like, look,
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: I'm not happy here. Let's sit down. I can't create.
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: I don't want to come home, and I want to
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: do things from the ground up. He took me to
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: Motown via Sylvia Rome. It was still within the universal system,
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: and that's where R and B was supported. It was
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: understood culturally understood. It has a history going back to Detroit.
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: So Sylvia r Own allowed me to executive produce my
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: own project, and it was a wonderful project called Liberation,
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: which would have been my fourth album. Things happened. There
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: was Napster, there was social media, there was iTunes, and
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: so when you changed the release date so many different times.
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: There's the farthest territory furthest territory Japan, that's a whole
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: day I had, right, And when they changed the release
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: date the last minute, Japan has the album and it
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: was out and then it leap and then it got
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: shelved and a whole bunch of other stuff around that time. Well,
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: they're just ahead, you know, regarding a whole day ahead.
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: So they got it before they got the memo or
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: somebody didn't clicking the metadata to check off that one territory.
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: And so once it's out anywhere, it's out money and
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: your whole rollout has fumbled, the whole investment. It gets shelved.
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: You can choose to go back in the system. I
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: was just in a place of processing, which just happened
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: after spending a year and a half literally putting up
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: even some of my own money, of course, you know,
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: to be thrown out, discarded, dropped all of these things
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: with negligence and made to look like I wasted somebody's money.
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: When I show up, I show up on time. I
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: really invest my own money into situations. I just decided
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: to sit with self for a minute and figure out,
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: you know, well what it is. I wanted to Broadway
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: called immediately, which was wonderful. Prince called immediately when he
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: heard the word independent, and there were these one for
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: things that happened immediately for me where I was quickly
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: gathered up and shown that this actually is probably going
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: to be your greatest blessing. There are opportunities coming. You
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: have a catalog already. But I was always living in
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: this fight or flight correctional facility mode, like I want
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: you all to understand that I'm not lazy. I want
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: you all to understand that the perception is not I
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: wasted anybody's money. The perception is is I'm gonna go
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: get this and I'm gonna go show you that I
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: mean business, show you that I'm really about this art.
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: Show you that I'm really about this music and to
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: the best I can with what I got to work with,
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: whatever that is, it's always just figuring it out.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: I was watching your interview with Gena vieughs that she
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: was talking best of Me. She didn't know Best of
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Me Part two was a remix to the original.
• 41:58
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: I literally created a jersey dress because of that.
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: How did you do it that?
• 42:05
  Speaker 9: So I have a brand called Brono Grinding, and we
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: were trying to figure out something for the summer, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 9: I loved the music video, so we created the jersey
• 42:12
  Speaker 9: literally because of.
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: I didn't think about it. He's a hater, literally that.
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: I had no idea that there was a Jada Kiss
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: version of saw interviews in that interview.
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: It well see it was my street single, so you
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: know it was also.
• 42:30
  Speaker 10: I don't I didn't you.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I know, I knew people thought back then that's when
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Jada and and jay Z were going back and forth.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Really they always used to say that Jay did that
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: because he wanted to wane up Jada Kiss because they
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: have beef. Back then, they were going back and forth.
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, so I didn't even know that I love that
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: she was her own I love that her own world.
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: It was just remax.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: How did that come about? I heard you tell him
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: the story, but it was Swiss and some about.
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: Oh. I was in the midst of recording my second album.
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: I did a lot of it in New York and
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: work with y Cleof got in with Swiss. I always
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: loved Swiss's rhythm on his tracks, and uh, he was
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: playing me some beats. Jimmy Cozier there to ron Vioshonda
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: was there. I picked a specific beat. He was like,
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: oh no, no, no, that belongs to d m X.
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: Oh no, Swiss did the original featuring Jadaki best of
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: the original mix featuring Jadakiss Swiss Beats produced. That was
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: his very first R and B record that he'd ever produced,
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: but it belonged to d m X. The actual beat.
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: There was another song over top of it that I
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: didn't hear, but I think he stumbled upon it by accident,
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: and I said, oh, remind that real quick. So I said,
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: I want to write to that one, and Jimmy Cozier
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: and I Jimmy Cozier, Yeah, yeah, So we're all in
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: the studio. Jimmy Cozier, Toronzio Shanda and I and we
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: just come up with a concept what we wanted to
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: feel like and that's how best to me, Part one
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: was born. It was a solo song. First, you might
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: have had a bridge on it. We took the bridge
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: off and put Jada Kiss on it because we decided
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: that that would be my very first street single. What
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: they do, or what they consider street singles to be,
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: is to warm up, you know, the streets first before
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: you go with chipop hits what it is. Yeah, So
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: we knew that we wanted Case of the X to
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: be a single, but it kind of leans toward the
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: pop world a little bit, and we did not want
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: to leave the urban crowd out of this, so we
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: did destinies featuring Jada first. Steve Stout and Hawkey Islam
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: were kind of working to get that. Steve Stout was
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: at Interscobo, Hawk Islam was running the independent label side
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: of the University of Music Entertainment, and so Steve Stout
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: had all these relationships and had jay z Pop on
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: the remix, you know, because of his relationship with him
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: and Mekada and I. Makada Davis Uh wrote the remix
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: here at the Hit Factory in New.
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: York Polk.
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: Masters, and then Jay and I are shot in the
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: video in Malibu, California. June Ambrose shows up with a jersey.
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: I didn't think anything of it. It was I guess,
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: you know, customized to fit my measurements at the time.
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: And that was that. That was the shortest video set
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: I've ever been on, six hours total, including hair, makeup,
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: glamb time, and then we were done, no choreography, no rehearsals,
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: and then it comes out and kind of like takes
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: hold of the clubs and whatnot.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: It was huge cold.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did that successful empowering or did they come with
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: pressure to compete with like I don't know other minute.
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: Oh No, I didn't feel any competition because we're all
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: number one so different. We were all established at the
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: time doing our individual thing in this business. And that
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: was also very quick. We got in the studio to
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: just lay our backgrounds together on one session in one session,
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: and then we cut our leads separately. Ron Fair was
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: involved in that Missy as well as Rock Wilder, laid
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: the foundation and blueprint of that record. Ron Fair took
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: our vocals and then he edited them and kind of
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: oversaw the executive production process of that, and that became
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: this person of Lady Marmelotte, you know. So got into
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: rehearsals for a couple of performances want to Grammy Together.
• 46:42
  Speaker 8: There was absolutely no competition. I didn't feel that. I
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: thought it was a blessing. I thought it was wonderful
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: to win.
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: Which is this just my favorite Falling?
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Just wanted to say that because he's trying to wrap
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: it up, But my favorite song is falling. The girls
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: two thousand and three, they had me like that was
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: my favorite song from move Ring. Now move Ring is
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: my favorite album. My favorite song it's falling.
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: So why is this your favorite girl?
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Because I thought I was in love in two thousand
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: and three and I was telling this guy, I'm telling
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: you like, it's a whole era you had in my

  Speaker 3: It's my ladies and gentlemen. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning.
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: Damn he hogged.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: It's time the donkey. I'm trying to be donkey today.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: No more.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: not making these people do these.
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: Days called donkey of the day, and it really caught
• 48:36
  Speaker 10: me off guard.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of the day today?
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Well, just Allaria's donkey today.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: It goes to President Tiffany Hernandez of Glendale Community College
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: and Glendale Community College as a staff record label and
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: mother effing school. Okay, I'm telling you right now that
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: we are about to experience what I call a great disconnect.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: You are going to have a large swath of society
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: that completely submits to the role.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: They're going to completely submit the AI.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Those are going to be the people who are proud
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: citizens of a techno feudalist society. If you don't know
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: what techno feudalism is, please read a great book called
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Techno Feudalism, What Killed Capitalism by Ya nas Varufakas.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I think that's why pronounce his name.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I can never pronounce name, but the name of the
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: book is Techno Feudalism, What Killed Capitalism. But the rest
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: of us are going to disconnect because nobody wants to
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: spend the rest of their life going on social media
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: questioning what's real or not. Okay, I'm not doing it,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: swiping constantly asking yourself is this real? Sending links to
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: people and they hitting you back like that's not real.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I don't have the mental and emotional bandwidth to live
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: like that. And also, in our line of work, the
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: radio industry, there are already some things being done by
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: AI technical stuff, and I hate it, Okay, because AI
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: is not a human and when it comes to the details,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: nothing beats a human touch.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: All right, AI does not micromanage. Okay, I'm not.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Even sureing AI does the basic macro stuff good yet.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: But I don't want people using AI to cut clips
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: for breakfast club. I don't want people using AI to
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: title things and create descriptions because AI gets a lot wrong.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: And that is why Tiffany Hernandez and Glendale Community College
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: and need to be at the front of the congregation
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: today because they decided to use AI for something that
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: absolutely one hundred percent needs a human touch, and that's
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: a graduation ceremony. Yes, someone at Glendale Community College thought
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: it would be a great idea to have AI announce
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: the students' names, and this happens.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go to WRIL for the report. Police.
• 50:34
  Speaker 20: What a mess for everyone involved here at Glendale Community College.
• 50:38
  Speaker 20: Students work so hard to get to this point to
• 50:40
  Speaker 20: get their diploma and graduate, and they say the school
• 50:44
  Speaker 20: should have been better prepared.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Michael D.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Gonzalez, The names.
• 50:48
  Speaker 20: Being read during GCC's commencement didn't appear to match who
• 50:52
  Speaker 20: was walking across stage India Hall. Then the names at
• 50:56
  Speaker 20: the bottom of the screen stopped changing.
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: I have just seen that the mess him and is then.
• 51:01
  Speaker 20: The screen on the left goes blank.
• 51:03
  Speaker 10: I was honestly just proud to be there in the moment.
• 51:06
  Speaker 20: It was only after Grace Rymer crossed the stage and
• 51:09
  Speaker 20: returned to her seat that she realized something was off.
• 51:13
  Speaker 20: Here's the photo that's her on stage. That's not her name, But.
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: I also didn't hear a lot of cheering, and I
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: know that my family is a pretty loud family.
• 51:21
  Speaker 20: Several minutes later, Grace Marie Rhynan, she finally heard her name.
• 51:26
  Speaker 18: Yeah, that's not right, and it definitely made me feel uneasy.
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: Here's what's happening.
• 51:31
  Speaker 20: We're using a new AI system that's our reader, so
• 51:38
  Speaker 20: that is that is a lesson learned.
• 51:40
  Speaker 17: For us.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: By This story is the perfect example of people using
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: AI because they're lazy for no reason. Okay, I mean,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: what is the point of using AI for these kids graduation?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Is it really too much to ask to have a
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: couple of people stand up and read names?
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Okay? Are we really just go let the robots everything?
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: We concerned about AI taking jobs, but were giving away
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: the easy ones like this. Okay, you adults are busy
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: trying to save time maybe money, I don't know, But
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: you're completely missing the point of the moment. Graduation isn't
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: just some assembly line event. You can't treat these kids
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: like products on a conveyor belt. Some fall off, some don't,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Some get labeled wrong, some get labeled right, some get stamped,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: some get thrown away.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: This is a once in a lifetime ceremony for these kids.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Families drove in.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, Students spent years and thousands of dollars hustling, and
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: you turned the most personal part here in your name
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: called so you can do a little dance with some
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: pomping circumstance, y'all.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Turn that to just the glitch in the matrix, okay?
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: And the irony of this story what really bothers me.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: These schools spend years telling students, don't use chat GPT, okay,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: don't use AI to plagiarize, do the work yourself, don't
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: let AI do it for you. Then as soon as
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: it's time for the administration to do their work, they
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: bring in RTD two, RTD two, R two D two.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: What's the thing name with R two D two?
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Okay? They bring in Wally all right? They bringing Optimus Prime.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: They're bringing a terminator, okay, to do all the work
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: for them.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: What would you do if you found out your fitness
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: trainer was secretly using those zipics and zet bound but
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: was always speaking to you about the dangers of weight
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: loss drugs.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Would you trust them? No, you wouldn't. Okay, Hey, young
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: world generation Z.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Where does AI rank in your top five in regards
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: to your growing list of resentments? Okay, I know y'all
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: got I know y'all hate hustle culture, that's up there,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: climate change, capitalism, America being beholden the Israel.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Where does rapid unchecked integration of AI into your lives
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: and workplace rank? All right?
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: You have a whole generation who already feel like technology
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: is replacing jobs, creativity, and human connection. And this incident
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: at Glendale Community College is just another example of that. Okay,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Glendale Community College, you have proven that common sense is
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: now an elective course.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, using AI to announce human names at a graduation.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: And the robot with skipping people like Spotify skipping songs
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: on Shuffle.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: This is the problem with society. Okay. Everybody wants efficiency
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: over expense.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: AI can't guarantee efficiency, but happy, well paid humans can Okay,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure AI knows what efficiency is. I
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: damn sure know that AI doesn't understand empathy are the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: importance of a moment And when this robot messed up
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: these kids' names, all President Tiffany Hernandez and the administration
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: could offer is the corporate classic.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: We apologize for the inconvenience. Man, Skipping someone's name and
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: graduation is more than an inconvenience. Okay.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Imagine being the first person in your family to graduate
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: college and your old grandma sitting there waiting to hear
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: your name and she doesn't and she thinks she's losing
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: her hairingd because she never heard your name, but she
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: knows she saw you walk across stage.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Got that old lady thinking she going crazy and it's
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: your fault.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: This is why people are scared of AI, not because
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: the technology g exists, but because humans keep using it
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: to replace moments that.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Require actual humanity. Okay, some things require soul, and that's
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: what AI will never have.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Please give President Tiffany Hernandez of Glendale Community College the
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: biggest sea hull.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: I see your dumb ass beige wheels turning.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I see them stupid ass waffle colored wheels turning.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, what is your brain thinking?
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: That is the color of dirty urine?
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Remember when Webby was up here and Webby couldn't pronounces.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I see what you're doing some of those names.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: That's different now if I had to, if I had
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: to choose who to say the names, Okay, if it's Webby,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: if it's me because I can't really pronounce that, well,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: if it's just hilarious, then maybe you think AI.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, if it's you, I'm.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Going to I maybe I just gotta see who else
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: is available for ust? What other humans are some of
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: them names?
• 56:00
  Speaker 11: What other humans are?
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Boy?
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: In pronouncing people's names, I'm really good with pronouncing people's name,
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: Yes I am.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: Then when you go to other coaches, I'm real good

• 59:21
  Speaker 12: and I just want to know if it's a good.
• 59:22
  Speaker 11: Idea or not.
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, it was a Christian school.
• 59:28
  Speaker 11: It was a Christian private school, so everybody thinks really
• 59:31
  Speaker 11: hoighly of her, and I just really want to put
• 59:33
  Speaker 11: it out there.
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: What happened?
• 59:34
  Speaker 10: What did you do to get slapped?
• 59:37
  Speaker 11: So it wasn't me now that.
• 59:38
  Speaker 5: I'm an adult.
• 59:39
  Speaker 11: At that time, as a child, I was ready to do.
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: Now as an adult, I found out that she had
• 59:43
  Speaker 11: a problem with my mom about something.
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: Hmm, okay, okay. And is it your your mom is
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: still living? I presume huh yeah, Okay, And so.
• 59:55
  Speaker 10: That's crazy.
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: I can't give this that that type of advice on
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: this radio here. I was gonna say, have your mother slapper?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: But no, what happened when you went home and told
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: your mother that she slapped you? Like, do you remember,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: like did your mother take any type of action, legal
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: action or did she smack her ass back?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 11: You know back in the day, it wasn't no legal action.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 11: We all went to church together.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 13: I don't know how they might have handled it. As
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 13: a child, I just know what happened, and then I
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 13: just kept on going to school, and it's just like,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 13: really still bothering me.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: Ever talked to your mother about that, because it sounds
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: deeper than you getting slapped.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 10: Will you never talked to your mom?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 11: I did later on years later.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 10: What she say?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: It wasn't really much said then, so it wasn't really
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 11: much said.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 5: But she slapped me.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: She ganked me up. It was another teacher in there
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: who told her stop. She was like, stop, it's not
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: her fall, just stop, and that's how she stopped hurting me.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: Well, okay, well you want outer outer, you know I
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: can't stop it. You still made you guys slapped twenty
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 10: That's that listen. And it don't matter whether I tell
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 10: you not to or not. You already got it in
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 10: your mind.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: You are still obviously, uh, that was a you're a
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: bothered by that, and that was like a traumatic experience.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: And now that you just found her, girl, you want
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: your revenge, so Outer that just go ahead and Outer.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 10: I don't know if she's still slapping kids or whatever,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 10: but just Outer do it.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: She gotta be like eighty year right now, right, she
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: gotta be older. She ain't talking about seventy.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 11: Three, is what I looked up, and I see that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: her family really loved her, Like I studied her for
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 11: the past year trying to figure out if I want
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 11: to do this, but I really just want to put
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 11: it out there because why did you do that to me?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, holding that, Yeah, because she probably really did some
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: serious damage to this young girl, like she when she
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: was a kid. She I'm talking about slap the up,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: jack up. The other teacher was like, no, stop, it's
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: not her fault. So obviously everybody knew.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: What was going on.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: But you, and even as an adult, you don't know
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: what's going on. That's not sitting right with me. You're
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: not asking your mother to write questions. Your mother keeping
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: something from you, something that's happening. She might probably sleeping
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: with that lad.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 11: As an adult, I know that my mom probably has
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 11: something going on, you.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 10: But as a child, I didn't do it, and I
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 10: really didn't know what was going on exactly. But that's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 10: the thing.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: You want to revenge on the lady for putting her
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: hands on you, but really, your mother was supposed to
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: step in and do something about that because you are
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: her child and you had nothing to do with whatever
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: they had going on, Like, your mother was supposed to
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: take care of that, and you said that.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 10: You even asked your mother what.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: Happened, and she ain't even provides you with no context
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: because you can't even tell me what happened. Your mother
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: probably slept with that lady man or something something, and
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: she took it out of you because you was in
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: our class.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 10: I don't care if you're.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: Going out, if you're going out the lady, you're going
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: out your mother to out both of them, because somebody
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: is keeping something from you. And that's what made me
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: think it's real big and it's probably horrible.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: It's a real price.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: So that's literally my question is because I feel like
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 11: that in my spirit with no real knowledge, I feel
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 11: like I'm about to out my mom about something yep yep.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: So unless you so, you have to give your mother
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: one more chance to come clean about it. You gotta say,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: my I'm about to press the button on this is ish,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: and when I do, all held on break loose because
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: whatever you hiding, whatever the deep dark secret was, I'm
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: gonna get to the.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 10: Bottom of it.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: I got slapped over that, ish, and I'm not okay
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: twenty years later, Sack, I'm not and it is what.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 10: It is, right, So out them both.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: You can't out one without out the other, because if
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: you do out the lady, she gonna tell you some
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: things about your mother that you're gonna be like, oh
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: my god, oh yeah, you got out both of them,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: but go see your mother first.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 10: I'm out the old lady.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: Now, just just go to your mother first, give one
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: more chance to tell you, and if not, get both
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: of them both.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 11: Of Okay, That's what I'll do, and then call me
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 11: back and let me know what happened.
• 1:03:41

• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be Yeah, but that's that's what
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: you gotta do. You just gotta wait it out because
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: you're you're you're worried. Is coming from the fact that
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: she never said anything else. She never confirmed whether or
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: not she was actually really going to go through with
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: the abortion or whether she was going to keep it.
• 1:06:23

• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, Because if she's ghosting you, I mean,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say give up trying, but if she doesn't
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: hit you back up to give you any further clarity
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: on whether or not she got the abortion that she
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: decided to go through with the pregnancy, I mean, you
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: just gotta wait it out. You know, she could be
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: going through the motions, It could be anything that the
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: girl is going through. I understand you know, your mental
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: paranoia as well, though, Like I understand you walking around
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: worried every day, you know.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 10: But you just got to prepare yourself for the best
