  Speaker 5: every day. After you got on my nerve about it,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: I kind of open my mind.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Hello, pace paces the nets
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: coming from U a brof you all.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Get it off your chest, pace Pacey.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: I wanted to get off the fact that we can
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: change the course of the way these young black men
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: are doing things nowadays. Bro. Like they're killing each other
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: like there's no return. I mean, and I'm really thinking
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: about it, bro. These mothers are suffering, bro losing their
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: children on the daily bro. Like it's crazy. We're in
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: the war with ourselves. The music industry is delaying a
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: bad message to our communities. And I just wanted to
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: give a message out to the women out there that's
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: that's that's singlely taking care of their their young boys,
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: get to know their get to know their friends, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: it'd be more act in their schools and stuff. Like that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: You just just just to know what's going on in
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: your son's head can change the course of everything.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I agree with you. The only thing I disagree with
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: is the music industry because art is a reflection of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: life and there's a lot of societal issues that we
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: got to deal with before we start blaming the music constry.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: But you know that it has.
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: But listen, listen, the music industry is influencing our community
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: so crazy to the fact that everybody want to be
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: gang gang, everybody want to shoot shoot.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think I think the music industry is influenced by
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the community, you know what I mean, Like it starts,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It starts way deeper before somebody gets in the studio
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and records the record.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: No, I agree, but something to what he says.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: You got a lot of people that are not about
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: that life, that rap about that life because they think
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: it's it's you know, it'll make them.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Successful, It glamorizes it, it makes them popular.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: Because you got a lot of these kids that ain't
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: never shoot nobody, no gang, but when they see their
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: favorite rapper do it, they do it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh I agree, But I think they learn a
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: lot of that just in the street. Like you know
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: what I mean. I just think it's a lot of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: societal issues we got to deal before we start blaming
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: artists and record lague.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame the record industry, but I would.
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: I would definitely say it's these kids are heavily influenced
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: by a lot of the industry.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Hello, what's this? He was like this, swan, swan, whatever,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: get it off your cheste.
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: I just learned to get my chest that I'm really
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: happy that I'm not working and whatnot. It's been kind
• 5:18

• 10:37
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 10:38
  Speaker 15: That's what we're in babies.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Why did you call it the Age of Pleasure?
• 10:41
  Speaker 15: Well, you know, I've had my age of anxiety.
• 10:44
  Speaker 14: I've had my age of depression, I had my age
• 10:48
  Speaker 14: of confusion, of imbalance, and you know, just realizing that
• 10:54
  Speaker 14: we'll never live in a world where you know, something
• 10:58
  Speaker 14: heavy won't be happening. You know, always problems will have
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: to solve, and even in the midst of that, you
• 11:03
  Speaker 14: have to find your joy. You have to actively find
• 11:06
  Speaker 14: your pleasure and in the words of Mauri's White from Earth,
• 11:09
  Speaker 14: Wind and Fire, if there ain't no beauty, make some beauty.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: First of all, I want to congratulate you on having
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal body of work. And everything you just said
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: is exactly what I felt when I was listening to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the album. It's almost like the mentality is like Hakuna Matada,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: like it's no stress over things, no need to have worries.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Let's just live in an age of pleasure. How did
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you get there? Though?
• 11:31
  Speaker 15: Ooh?
• 11:31
  Speaker 14: How did I get there? I mean, I think life,
• 11:33
  Speaker 14: you know, and I'm still you know, still on a
• 11:35
  Speaker 14: journey as we all are. But I think I got
• 11:38
  Speaker 14: locked in with me, you know. And I think a
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: lot of times we look at it, especially as artists,
• 11:45
  Speaker 14: and things come to us and sometimes they don't, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 14: we look at things as like, oh, we failed or
• 11:50
  Speaker 14: we should be working much harder. We our happiness is
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: dependent on things that come to us, you know, good things,
• 11:59
  Speaker 14: great things. But internally I had to get locked in
• 12:03
  Speaker 14: with me. I had to get really locked in with
• 12:05
  Speaker 14: me and reprogramming my mind and exercising them muscle to
• 12:10
  Speaker 14: be yeah, to get to a point where my inner
• 12:14
  Speaker 14: voice what I was telling myself, all those things, the affirmations,
• 12:17
  Speaker 14: all of it just rewired.
• 12:20
  Speaker 15: I'm rewired right now. I feel like I'm on my
• 12:23
  Speaker 15: third life right now.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: Now you mentioned, you know, you have the age of depression,
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: the age of anxiety, the age of all those things.
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: You know, what got you out of those places? Was
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: it therapy? Was it just taking a break? Was it friends,
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: was it meditating? Was it you know, whatever, it may
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: be writing your book at the time. What got you
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: out of that anxiety and depression and some of those
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: negative places that you said.
• 12:46
  Speaker 14: Yeah, having to go back to the root, the root
• 12:49
  Speaker 14: of trauma. Usually when you're triggered by something, it's deeper,
• 12:53
  Speaker 14: you know. And I feel like everybody should have free therapy,
• 12:58
  Speaker 14: Like it should be free for everybody. We should be
• 13:00
  Speaker 14: paying therapists more. We should be paying teachers more, nurses
• 13:03
  Speaker 14: can go on and on and on. But I think
• 13:05
  Speaker 14: when it comes to mental health, being able to understand
• 13:10
  Speaker 14: why we're sort of going through life feeling sick mentally
• 13:16
  Speaker 14: or feeling like we're in a loop. I just remember
• 13:21
  Speaker 14: being in a loop a lot and making the same
• 13:25
  Speaker 14: stories up in my mind about things, and I got
• 13:30
  Speaker 14: an emotional support coach who is a friend and who
• 13:33
  Speaker 14: also like does amazing work, and she said, you're dealing
• 13:37
  Speaker 14: with some abandonment rejection issues.
• 13:40
  Speaker 15: I want you to.
• 13:40
  Speaker 14: Write down when you were little, Janelle, the first time
• 13:45
  Speaker 14: is somebody didn't show up for you. The first time
• 13:47
  Speaker 14: you felt let down, like write all these things down.
• 13:49
  Speaker 14: And I had to go back. And I think also,
• 13:53
  Speaker 14: you know, being in the pandemic, a lot of things
• 13:55
  Speaker 14: got canceled for me, so I had no choice but
• 13:57
  Speaker 14: to sort of, you know, stay home. And I had
• 14:00
  Speaker 14: a unique opportunity to go inward and to heal those
• 14:03
  Speaker 14: things and have and do all the work the dark
• 14:06
  Speaker 14: stuffy by myself, right, you know. So I think it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 14: a combination of that and then friends too, you know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 14: I just remember being out with friends, and so much
• 14:18
  Speaker 14: of my life I was always thinking about the future.
• 14:20
  Speaker 14: I was like, what's next, you know, just how like
• 14:22
  Speaker 14: when you had when you're a entrepreneur. You know, I
• 14:26
  Speaker 14: started out as an indie artist, so I always had
• 14:29
  Speaker 14: to sort of be the leader, you know. I'm like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 14: I can't afford to mess up, you know. And when
• 14:36
  Speaker 14: I would be our friends, I wouldn't be present, And
• 14:39
  Speaker 14: so I also had an opportunity to reconnect with my
• 14:43
  Speaker 14: friends and have them hold me accountable, like, yo, we here,
• 14:48
  Speaker 14: we're here, We're here, Like stay here with us, we
• 14:50
  Speaker 14: love you, Like everything is gonna be good, you can relax.
• 14:55
  Speaker 15: And I felt safe there. I found a safe space.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I just want to ask one thing about you, Sai.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Abandonment issues.
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: Right, how did you feel or what made you feel
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: that way? And the reason I asked is right, I
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: have six kids that have four daughters. Right, one of
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: my biggest fears is not to show up but something
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: that I might think is small that might mean the
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: world to them, you know, because you know, we are
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: in the industry where we do travel, we are on
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: the road, so you know, I'm just what bothered you
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: so much about abandonment? Was it something big, like, you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: something that happening on Christmas? Or was it something like
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: I have my talent show and this person didn't come
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: and it made me feel a way?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: So what was the abandonment issue? Well?
• 15:32
  Speaker 14: I think a lot of it and I've spoken about
• 15:34
  Speaker 14: this a lot, but so if you are watching right
• 15:37
  Speaker 14: now and you know me, but my father was an addict,
• 15:41
  Speaker 14: so him being sort of inconsistent in.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: My life and.
• 15:46
  Speaker 14: Having to sort of navigate and if you've had family
• 15:52
  Speaker 14: close to you or a parent and as an addict,
• 15:55
  Speaker 14: then you know what I'm talking about.
• 15:56
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 15:59
  Speaker 14: That our relationship a lot of times was like where
• 16:04
  Speaker 14: I felt most abandoned and thank God, like he's clean,
• 16:07
  Speaker 14: he's sober. Now we're best friends, he's written a book,
• 16:10
  Speaker 14: he's like amazing.
• 16:11
  Speaker 15: But I think that inconsistency.
• 16:14
  Speaker 14: And I didn't know that because I was like, I
• 16:15
  Speaker 14: have my mom, I have all my aunties, I have
• 16:18
  Speaker 14: so much love around me. But just those moments of
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: just like you're showing you're not here, you're here now
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: you're in prison, You're not like okay, all right, really
• 16:29
  Speaker 14: inconsistent and that was like one of the first things
• 16:34
  Speaker 14: I think that when I started to write down things
• 16:36
  Speaker 14: that bothered, that affected me more than I knew.
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, we got more with Janail Money. When
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning,
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: the Breakfast Club.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Morning.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy we are to
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: Breakfast Club. He's still kicking it with Janail monehi album
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: is out today, The Age of Pleasure.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Charlomagne, you said someone now My thought was dope. You
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: said I forgot what song it was when you said
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you're no longer lead with ego, and I wanted to
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: ask you, what do you think the difference between ego
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and confidences?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Ooh what song was that?
• 17:11
  Speaker 14: By the way, that was an Eyes for two. I've
• 17:16
  Speaker 14: told you all this since I came out, you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 14: being an android. I'm ahead and I've been ahead, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 14: I've been trying to get It's like I'm actually back
• 17:25
  Speaker 14: having fun because I'm too far ahead. Yeah, I think ego,
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: oh m, I just believe in balance and all things.
• 17:35
  Speaker 14: And I think that there's an unhealthy version of ego
• 17:38
  Speaker 14: that like it doesn't allow you to have that vulnerability.
• 17:41
  Speaker 14: It doesn't allow you to really really connect on a
• 17:45
  Speaker 14: vulnerable level that is powerful, Like if you're sharing your
• 17:50
  Speaker 14: feelings and.
• 17:51
  Speaker 15: It blocks that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 14: It blocks you from really sharing your feelings and saying, hey,
• 17:55
  Speaker 14: I'm hurt or I need help or I was wrong.
• 18:00
  Speaker 14: It stops us from apologizing, It stops us from being
• 18:03
  Speaker 14: held accountable. It blocks our growth. You know, if it's unhealthy.
• 18:08
  Speaker 14: I think being confident, I mean it's balancing all things.
• 18:12
  Speaker 14: You can be confident, overly confident about being a beginner.
• 18:18
  Speaker 14: I always say this, like, don't be afraid to be
• 18:20
  Speaker 14: a beginner. I think that the conflict happens when you
• 18:24
  Speaker 14: think you know more than you do and you're in
• 18:27
  Speaker 14: fact a beginner, and you sold yourself that dream that
• 18:31
  Speaker 14: I know what I'm doing, I got it together, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 14: in fact you don't.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: When you say beginning, is it you meaning starting over
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: or trying something new to try?
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like and not even just acting or
• 18:44
  Speaker 14: something like that. But like if you ain't studied, you
• 18:47
  Speaker 14: may not ace the test, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 18:50
  Speaker 14: being confident without doing the work is not it? Like
• 18:53
  Speaker 14: you can be confident though if I know I practiced,
• 18:55
  Speaker 14: I show I've shown I've done the work to get
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: my performance together, Like I know I'm gonna go on
• 19:01
  Speaker 14: this stage and I'm gonna kill it like that, Like
• 19:04
  Speaker 14: that's a different level thing because you've done the work.
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: But when you actually don't even have the experience and
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: you're confident for no reason, I mean, sometimes it can work.
• 19:13
  Speaker 14: You can pull So I don't know, I needed you
• 19:15
  Speaker 14: know what. I think I'm prematurely answering this question. This
• 19:18
  Speaker 14: is a really good question. I'll think about it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear an answer. I only have
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: eyes for two is a very system I think destroying record.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You know people are you should only have eyes for one.
• 19:31
  Speaker 15: That's right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I love it. I want people to hear it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 15: I can't wait.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: That's sounding joint like it's the second and last year.
• 19:41
  Speaker 15: I love it. It's so pretty.
• 19:43
  Speaker 14: I remember when I was recording it and just wanting
• 19:46
  Speaker 14: wanting people to like. I imagine everybody like whining whining
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: to it, and you're meeting somebody that night at the party.
• 19:53
  Speaker 14: That's the that's the part of the party where two complete,
• 19:56
  Speaker 14: three complete strangers are just like super open the director.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can love it so much
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: in front of my wife what she was going to
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: say about it, that's all?
• 20:07
  Speaker 15: Did she listen to it?
• 20:08
  Speaker 16: Not because I got it?
• 20:10
  Speaker 15: Okay?
• 20:10
  Speaker 14: I mean, can we get into these collaborations. Who is
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: just phenomenal? We have a song called phenomenal together. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: love her al Maray on the rush Nia Long, who
• 20:22
  Speaker 14: has always been my crush. One of the reasons why
• 20:25
  Speaker 14: what I got confident though, and in just being like
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: I'm about to free free the nipples because Along told
• 20:31
  Speaker 14: me I had.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Pretty That's the reason why.
• 20:35
  Speaker 14: So that's it, that's it, Like, tell me, what are
• 20:41
  Speaker 14: you going to say? Like that's the confidence I needed.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 20:45
  Speaker 15: I was like, Oh, that's it, that's it.
• 20:48
  Speaker 14: Because she came to the house and we were recording
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: our song the Rush together, and I showed her some
• 20:53
  Speaker 14: of the press photos and she was like, oh, no,
• 20:56
  Speaker 14: you need to go with that photo.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: The water. Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 15: She was like, that's it. You got some pretty go
• 21:03
  Speaker 15: ahead and that's not even watching an interview, and I
• 21:05
  Speaker 15: want to rewind you.
• 21:08
  Speaker 14: I don't need any more affirmation. And then Grace Jones,
• 21:12
  Speaker 14: who also was on the project, came over. This is
• 21:15
  Speaker 14: who I was hanging out with when I was making
• 21:16
  Speaker 14: the record. I showed her stuff. She was like, go, baby,
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: do it, do it?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Do it done?
• 21:23
  Speaker 14: Like that that is the level of just that's the
• 21:27
  Speaker 14: affirmation that I need. Like she's been a free asthma,
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: you know, like she she's done this, you know, in
• 21:33
  Speaker 14: her own way. So she's been an inspiration for me
• 21:36
  Speaker 14: and I'm so happy she's on the project.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: All Right, well, we appreciate you for joining us. Anytime

• 21:47
  Speaker 15: I appreciate y'all. Thank you so much, and happy pride,
• 21:50
  Speaker 15: I must say. And let me ask you a question.
• 21:53
  Speaker 14: How are you guys showing up for as allies for
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: the LGBTQUI plus community.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: If you listen to this show every day, you would
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: know they call us husbandsands gay husband. I love it
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 22:12
  Speaker 15: Well, that's good. I love it gusbands. That's really cute.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Tell us we're pushing an agenda all the time. That's
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: what they tell us.
• 22:19
  Speaker 15: Yes, wow, okay, that's what I guess.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: That's what it's called when you just embrace it everything.
• 22:25
  Speaker 14: It's so interesting how people think like being gay, or
• 22:28
  Speaker 14: being friends, or being non binary, being queer.
• 22:31
  Speaker 15: Like it's on some new like we just made up.
• 22:34
  Speaker 15: That's the thing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: You just got to be patient people. They have to
• 22:36
  Speaker 14: they have to educate themselves, and there's so much information
• 22:39
  Speaker 14: out here. Get educated, you know.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like what we what we describe to do
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: here is create spaces for all black voices. And what
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I realized is regardless of who comes up here like
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: it can be you know. Jason Lee b. Scott playing
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: when roll Lebron whoever it is, if they're from the
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: l g B t Q I a community, somebody is
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: going to have criticism, you know, yeah, and so that's
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: just what it is. I use your privilege to combat prejudice.
• 23:06
  Speaker 15: Absolutely well.
• 23:09
  Speaker 16: Right now.
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: And I'm not shaving my underarms. I've seen the comments.
• 23:15
  Speaker 14: They will not be shaved. You will get into it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Is there a reason why?
• 23:19
  Speaker 15: I don't know.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I just felt like saying that, Okay, okay, it's a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: breakfast cloth. Good morning everybody, and Charlamagne the guy. We
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: are the breakfast club.
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: If you're just joining us, we're talking about something that
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: came out of Charlamagne's Donkey course.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we were talking about this guy who pulled
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: a gun on another guy. I don't know if it
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: was like another guy a girl, but pulled a gun
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: on the person because the person was about to spoil
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Top Gun the movie for him, which got us talking
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: about you know, when you're binge watching something with your
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: significant other.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like the rules for binge watching are if
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you and a person start a series together, right, you
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and your significant other starter series together, y'all cannot watch
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: episodes without each other. If you start together, you got
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: to finish together. But Envy says that if a person
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: falls asleep, if you are your significant other falls asleep
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: while watching, then the person has to stop the movie
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: or stop the TV show.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Hell no, yes, no, yes, no, it's like just like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. Right. Game of Thrones is something me
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and my wife love.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: We caught on to it a little late, but we
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: watched like three four episodes right at nighttime. We would
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: go to sleep at midnight one am. Problem is I
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: got to get up at four o'clock to do the
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: breakfast club. So if I fall asleep, that's your dumbass. No,
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: she would pause it and then we would continue the
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: next night when I got back home.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: You fall asleep, then when you get free time, you
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: catch up.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I ain't got no free time.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: We got six kids. There's no free time. When we
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: go to stupid night, we start watching the game.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: No, nobody does that.
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: If the White Walkers came and my wife found out
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: that the White Walkers came before me, there'll be a
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: prime in the house. No, if the Dragon came and
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: my wife knew the dragon came before me, it is gonna.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Be a problem.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: By the way, this is the most This is so selfish.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: It is so selfish in you to know that you're
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: about to be tired. You know you're tired.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I'm so when you start, when you start watching the show,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: you start watching the show knowing you're tired, and then
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: you fall asleep, and now your wife, who also has
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: six kids, who's with the kids majority of the time,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: has to pause it and can't have her moment of
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: joy and pleasure.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm tired.
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: When I'm tired, I just fall asleep. And there's so
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: many other things that she will watch that I don't
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: want to watch. The Bachelor, The Bachelor, Red, the Golden Bachelor,
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: the Housewives of Brooklyn.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Manhattan, Oh Seed, And we'll tell you all these other
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: shows that she could watch.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: She can speak for gear. But I don't think she
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: likes this. I don't think she likes this. I don't
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think she likes this.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: She gets a little tight.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Don't want to see this. Don't wait ten years to
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: find out that she don't like this. Okay, I'm just saying,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: we read your book. Don't wait ten years to find
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: out that she really don't like this and she's been
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: faking it the whole time.
• 25:56

• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the first woman to call it here and uh, you know,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: like like most things in life, it's the women with
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: the sense because all the men is lying talking about
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: they gonna pause the movie and watch it later. No,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: you're not. Nobody does that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, Hey, Donald, good morning. You call it from Houston, Texas.
• 28:34

  Speaker 2: By the way, once again, this is why women should
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: be in control of everything, because y'all got good old
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: fashioned common sense. Nobody is pars men do things that
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: sound good. Nobody does that in real life. I'm gonna

  Speaker 2: It's no because I'm we rewatch movies sometimes because you
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: get a different You've seen Hall Them Knights before. It's
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: not the first time, forty five year old eyes and understanding.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: So it's a different ballgame. But guess what, I fell
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: asleep and I didn't wake up upset. I actually I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: expect that to happen at this point in my life.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: You've seen Hall of Nights thirteen thousand times.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: This happened to Mess, This happened to me with movies.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I've never seen.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Shoot You in the Piccato yet.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Like the first time we watched Dayclone Tyrone, I fell
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: asleep and when I woke up my wife we was
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: talking about how good it was. Guess what I did?
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I just watched.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: We watched it again the next night.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Alex, good morning, Yo?

• 30:01
  Speaker 8: They fall asleep pausing it or you're gonna keep watching.

  Speaker 5: I mean, it depends on the situation. Because sometimes my
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: said be falling asleep mid episode, and I just continue
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: watching that episode.
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: But I'll turn it off after that episode.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: And then I'll wait, I'll turn it off after that episode.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: As you should watch the one episode and then the
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: rest you'll catch up later with them exactly.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: And then there's the top way.
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: We both watch it together and all that's surprised, like
• 30:27
  Speaker 12: I didn't.
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: Watch it last night.

• 32:58
  Speaker 2: putting music out.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: You never do.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: You finally give us this. I guess you call it
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: the EP sex tape. And it feels like, at least
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the first half of it is about you being broken hard.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: It feels like that, So it feels what inspired that.
• 33:13
  Speaker 16: It's really like, it's a bunch of records that I've
• 33:15
  Speaker 16: made over Tom, you know what I'm saying, and just
• 33:17
  Speaker 16: put together. That was our whole process of just wanting
• 33:20
  Speaker 16: to get something out and I've been trying to perfect
• 33:23
  Speaker 16: it and waiting for the right time and all of this,
• 33:25
  Speaker 16: so we kind of just like, yo, it's what we got.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: We're going with this.
• 33:28
  Speaker 16: Timing is just God's thing. I guess you know what
• 33:30
  Speaker 16: I'm saying.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: But I don't believe that these songs were the songs
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: you're sitting around show me love you've been sitting on.
• 33:35
  Speaker 16: I had that for what I got. I got a
• 33:37
  Speaker 16: video for it so I can show you to day
• 33:39
  Speaker 16: to the video. But like I said, these are all
• 33:41
  Speaker 16: things I've I've felt at a time, so they all
• 33:44
  Speaker 16: real songs, and they all real to me.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: How are you doing, though? How are you doing? Brother?
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like you know what I'm saying.
• 33:49
  Speaker 16: I'm I'm happy to be in a space where I
• 33:52
  Speaker 16: am releasing music, you know what I'm saying, being creative
• 33:54
  Speaker 16: and and just put myself out to the world again.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Why is that? Why are you afraid to put out music?
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: But you're on a very dope part is I've been
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: rocking with Party for a long time before you even
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: had a deal or anything. Why are you afraid to
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: put out music?
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 34:06
  Speaker 16: I don't know exactly what I can attribute it to.
• 34:09
  Speaker 16: I don't know if I say afraid, But it's just
• 34:11
  Speaker 16: like I'm a I'm a bit of a perfectionist, you
• 34:14
  Speaker 16: know what I'm saying. I like to tweak and care
• 34:17
  Speaker 16: even even this project right now, like we ad to
• 34:19
  Speaker 16: uh we had the eleventh hour and I'm still making
• 34:22
  Speaker 16: changes and whatnot, you know what i mean. Like that's
• 34:24
  Speaker 16: just just part of my uh my process. But uh,
• 34:27
  Speaker 16: I had to really force myself to do it. I'm
• 34:29
  Speaker 16: an overthinker of a little bit, you know what I'm saying.
• 34:31
  Speaker 16: I've been Uh, I've been the receiver of scrutiny on
• 34:35
  Speaker 16: several things. So I'm like, I like you were less
• 34:37
  Speaker 16: gun shy before you had a deal. Absolutely I had.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Nothing to lose.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: To get a deal.
• 34:43
  Speaker 16: I had to get out there, you know what I'm saying,
• 34:44
  Speaker 16: Like I gotta I gotta make something. And this was
• 34:46
  Speaker 16: just me expressing myself, you know what I'm saying. And
• 34:48
  Speaker 16: now it's like at this level expressing yourself, you can
• 34:52
  Speaker 16: get you. Ridiculed can get you. You know what I'm saying.
• 34:54
  Speaker 16: I say that, you know what I mean. So it's
• 34:55
  Speaker 16: a little it's a little different of a creative process.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Sometimes, does this make it difficult for you?
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: Because you know you've released projects before and usually when
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: you do interview is in this In this album, you're
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: more emotional, You're talking about feelings. So is it difficult
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: for you to do interviews now and to talk about feelings,
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: especially where you came from and how you came up
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: in this industry.
• 35:14
  Speaker 16: I'm happy that. I'm happy that I'm having to get
• 35:17
  Speaker 16: comfortable with it, you know what I'm saying. Like it's
• 35:18
  Speaker 16: definitely a thing that's new to me, expressing vulnerability, how
• 35:23
  Speaker 16: I'm really feeling, you know what I'm saying. I like
• 35:25
  Speaker 16: to play quiet, like you know what I'm saying. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 16: don't share too much of my personal life, even on
• 35:29
  Speaker 16: social media, like you know what I mean. I don't
• 35:30
  Speaker 16: do I don't do too I don't even promote my
• 35:32
  Speaker 16: own a lot of the time, you know what I'm saying.
• 35:33
  Speaker 16: I just like, yo, here, go to music, y'all tell
• 35:35
  Speaker 16: me what y'all think.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 35:36
  Speaker 16: But but I'm trying to get comfortable with, uh, with
• 35:38
  Speaker 16: just being more out there and expressing myself and telling
• 35:41
  Speaker 16: people how I feel.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Is it imposter syndrome, because you know, the first project
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: that put me on too, you was not supposed to
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be I supposed to be here. That's tough,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: That's what I is. So what did that title mean then,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: and what does it mean to you now when you
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: hear that?
• 35:54
  Speaker 16: I still I still, I still think it stands the same,
• 35:56
  Speaker 16: you know what I mean? At that time in my life,
• 35:59
  Speaker 16: not supposed to be here. I was in the hood.
• 36:00
  Speaker 16: I felt like I was so talented, you know what
• 36:02
  Speaker 16: I mean. I'm like, Yo, there's no way all this talent,
• 36:04
  Speaker 16: all this music, all this drift, I'm supposed to be
• 36:07
  Speaker 16: in the hood. And I felt like it rang true,
• 36:08
  Speaker 16: not just for me, but for everybody that was in Newburgh,
• 36:11
  Speaker 16: Like you know what I'm saying, in that area of
• 36:12
  Speaker 16: upstate New York. I felt like, Yo, I know that's
• 36:15
  Speaker 16: nice at ball that's not getting that same look. You
• 36:17
  Speaker 16: know what I'm saying. I know other things that can
• 36:19
  Speaker 16: do this and that and the third and we just
• 36:20
  Speaker 16: wasn't getting our looks. So I just felt like there
• 36:22
  Speaker 16: was no way I was supposed to be stuck in
• 36:24
  Speaker 16: that position.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: So that was the name of it. And you was
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: right then, what I'm talking about, like even now, do
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you feel like you're not supposed to be here? There's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: some type of syndrome. You know, made a lot of
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: money writing for people stuff like that.
• 36:36
  Speaker 16: I feel like I am supposed to be here. But
• 36:38
  Speaker 16: I feel like I'm not one that always boasts myself
• 36:41
  Speaker 16: up like I did this, I did that, you know
• 36:43
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. So I'm always been the person of
• 36:44
  Speaker 16: a Let somebody else do it, like, you know, like
• 36:46
  Speaker 16: let them tell your accolades, let them like yo, naw,
• 36:49
  Speaker 16: you come up here, you know what I mean. Like,
• 36:50
  Speaker 16: so I've never been one to like just boast myself
• 36:54
  Speaker 16: to the forefront or take that. So I guess if
• 36:57
  Speaker 16: that's in that impostive syndrome laying you.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Got a lot of plaques, you wrote a lot a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: lot of plaques.
• 37:02
  Speaker 16: Yo, that's why I'm back. Just pop my you know
• 37:04
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. Like it's like, if not, who's gonna
• 37:06
  Speaker 16: pop it for you? But you you know what I'm saying.
• 37:08
  Speaker 16: So it's like, now just being more true to myself
• 37:10
  Speaker 16: is like damn, dide accomplish a lot, And now I
• 37:12
  Speaker 16: feel the need to because now I see people act
• 37:14
  Speaker 16: like I don't got this like, you know what I'm saying,
• 37:16
  Speaker 16: we never did this, we never did it. I'm out here,
• 37:18
  Speaker 16: I've been out here. I'm great at what I do.
• 37:19
  Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying, I do it well. So
• 37:21
  Speaker 16: I feel like now's the time I really got to
• 37:22
  Speaker 16: just show that and talk about it.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: You wrote all the hits. I remember when Party posted
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: be Careful before we heard cofy on it day it's
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: him Rappings sounding crazy.
• 37:32
  Speaker 16: First off, she heard the song and she's like, I
• 37:34
  Speaker 16: need this. You know what I'm saying, I I'm taking this.
• 37:36
  Speaker 16: She did her thing to it, flipped it around, all
• 37:38
  Speaker 16: of that. But at the time that song was I'm
• 37:40
  Speaker 16: like writing it from the perspective of a girl for me,
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: and my verse was going to be like my response,
• 37:45
  Speaker 16: But you know, she took it and made it like multi.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Million dollar hit.
• 37:49
  Speaker 13: But it's crazy because a as a as a woman
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: who's listening to your music. A lot of times I
• 37:53
  Speaker 13: feel like I hear you telling like women, I'm a gym,
• 37:57
  Speaker 13: don't lose me.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: I'm here for you.
• 37:59
  Speaker 13: But in real life, if you're saying that, you don't
• 38:00
  Speaker 13: even feel that way about a lot of your accomplishments,
• 38:02
  Speaker 13: Like why how is it like a whole different person
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: when you're the artist party versus in person writer presenting
• 38:09
  Speaker 13: your accolades.
• 38:10
  Speaker 16: CARTI, because in your music you get to you know,
• 38:13
  Speaker 16: get to pop your ship, you get to explain, you
• 38:14
  Speaker 16: get to tell your side of the story. You get
• 38:17
  Speaker 16: to be yourself, you know what I'm saying, and put
• 38:19
  Speaker 16: out to the universe what you that you need to like.
• 38:22
  Speaker 16: And I'm like, I'm a person that likes to let
• 38:23
  Speaker 16: my uh my work speak for myself. You know what
• 38:25
  Speaker 16: I'm saying, speak for yourself. So if I'm braggado to music,
• 38:30
  Speaker 16: I get to be chilling person. You know what I'm saying. Y,
• 38:32
  Speaker 16: you know what I'm.
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: I was as, do you want to be an artist
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: or do you prefer to write behind the scenes?
• 38:37
  Speaker 16: No, listen, I've never ever I told this before. I've
• 38:40
  Speaker 16: never ever intended to be a writer, Like, you know
• 38:42
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. I don't consider myself a writer to
• 38:45
  Speaker 16: this day. Like I've really just helped out people I
• 38:48
  Speaker 16: like or people that I'm friends with, you know what
• 38:50
  Speaker 16: I'm saying. It's not like I'm in a studio with
• 38:51
  Speaker 16: people all day cooking up records. Like Yo, this is
• 38:54
  Speaker 16: for such that's not me. I'm making music for myself
• 38:56
  Speaker 16: most of the time. And if there's somebody that I
• 38:58
  Speaker 16: respect or somebody that just wants my taste, my opinion
• 39:02
  Speaker 16: on something, I feel like that's more.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 39:04
  Speaker 16: The laying it is is like no taste. His beat
• 39:07
  Speaker 16: selection is impeccable. He's witty, you know what I'm saying.
• 39:09
  Speaker 16: So people went that around when they're created it, so
• 39:13
  Speaker 16: I'll be happy to help when it's when it's somebody
• 39:15
  Speaker 16: I like.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I remember being being somewhere with Kanye, and Kanye was like, man, man,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: yo man, that Cardi line man when she said, Uh,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I'm about to I'm about to run out of Gucci.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Too many hangers something on the line. I got to
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: stay out of Gucci. I'm finna run out of there,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: and he was like, I need to work with Party.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't even I thought he was talking about Party
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: next door. It didn't dawn on me he was talking
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: about Party man. Like at this time, he like, I
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: know that nigga. You know that nigga? So you ended
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: up in Wisconsin absolute writing for Kanye?
• 39:48
  Speaker 16: Then yeah, yeah, we put them together out there too.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: So Kanye, Cardy, who else?

  Speaker 16: Beyonce?
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that one. Yeah, Like that's what I mean.
• 39:59
  Speaker 16: So it's like when people like you're a writer and
• 40:01
  Speaker 16: I say, I don't just be out here just writing
• 40:03
  Speaker 16: for anybody's like look who I look who I work with?
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm not about to
• 40:07
  Speaker 16: just be out here just.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: On the Renaissance album.
• 40:09
  Speaker 16: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, something else. But
• 40:12
  Speaker 16: had come out anytime anytime He's like, you ask you
• 40:15
  Speaker 16: too many questions? Anytime you could anytime you get to
• 40:20
  Speaker 16: work with Beyonce. You know what I'm saying. I love
• 40:22
  Speaker 16: that opportunity. I was so glad that she even you know,
• 40:25
  Speaker 16: considered my taste and in my opinion on putting something together.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: So how did that call come in?
• 40:31
  Speaker 16: Hey, Beyonce, he wants to do something? You got any
• 40:34
  Speaker 16: ideas for this?
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Who called your phone?
• 40:36
  Speaker 11: Bro?
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Was it whole?
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Was it be was?
• 40:39
  Speaker 16: And it was one of those things where I'm like whatever,
• 40:41
  Speaker 16: you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, whatever, phone, Yeah,
• 40:43
  Speaker 16: you know what I mean. But then I heard the Instagram.
• 40:45
  Speaker 16: I'm like, nah, this could be something. This this is
• 40:49
  Speaker 16: probably gonn this is probably gonna materialize into something. You
• 40:52
  Speaker 16: drop everything and run right to the studio. I think
• 40:55
  Speaker 16: I did you know what I'm saying.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I was in the crib.
• 40:57
  Speaker 16: I was in the crib and when I got the call,
• 40:59
  Speaker 16: so I did. I started it right away. Are you
• 41:00
  Speaker 16: allowed to talk about this? What what I'm talking abou
• 41:03
  Speaker 16: right now?
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I think sign getting no letters or not? Like this
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: is it out?
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: It came out. Okay, okay, okay. I'm just thinking maybe
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: another Houston hot he could block it now.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just asking.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We got more with partisan Fontaine when
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: we come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: morning morning.
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne to gud we are the
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: breakfast Club.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Partisan Fontaine, Charlomae.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Now, don't show me love, you say putting ointment on
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: scars that you got way before me. Powerful line. Talk
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: to me about that line.
• 41:34
  Speaker 16: When you when you get into relationships with some people,
• 41:36
  Speaker 16: like sometimes there are things they've been through that are
• 41:39
  Speaker 16: traumatic to them, like you know, and you gotta you
• 41:41
  Speaker 16: gotta kind of maneuver around.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: That, like sore spots.
• 41:44
  Speaker 16: Since of the spots, you try to show them that
• 41:46
  Speaker 16: those things are are not issues for you, or you
• 41:49
  Speaker 16: try to just help them heal through through those things.
• 41:51
  Speaker 16: So can you help somebody here if you're not yourself
• 41:54
  Speaker 16: on a journey of healing, If you're not yourself healed,
• 41:57
  Speaker 16: yeah healed, are on a journey of hell. I mean
• 41:59
  Speaker 16: I feel like that's a common mistake that people try
• 42:02
  Speaker 16: to make. I mean, you know what I'm saying, trying
• 42:03
  Speaker 16: to heal somebody, trying to fix somebody, you know what
• 42:05
  Speaker 16: I mean. It's a common thing that we try. But
• 42:09
  Speaker 16: I think as people, we just try to help others
• 42:13
  Speaker 16: along on our journeys at whatever spot they are.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: That's why I hear on a lot of these songs,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: you know, especially on like Run Run Run, you said
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: you're not ready for love, and so it made me think, well, damn,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: if party not on a journey of healing, and if
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: he's not ready for love, how can he be mad
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: at a woman who's not ready yet?
• 42:30
  Speaker 16: I mean, at that time, it was like, Damn, I'm
• 42:33
  Speaker 16: not ready for love.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe i've been.
• 42:35
  Speaker 16: I've just been through something that now makes me unable
• 42:38
  Speaker 16: to be ready to give the love that I know
• 42:41
  Speaker 16: I can or love at my highest potential. You know what,
• 42:43
  Speaker 16: I'm saying, so I feel like that was that message
• 42:45
  Speaker 16: at that time. So now you did the record the
• 42:48
  Speaker 16: person I did. What made you release that record? Why
• 42:52
  Speaker 16: did you feel like you had to do that record?
• 42:53
  Speaker 16: I just felt like I wanted to give some context
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: to the things that have been put out about myself.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I felt like that was just necessary. Was
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: that really about you? When she said she called her
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: man getting in her bed, was that about you? I
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: didn't know if that was about you or she was
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: just rapping. It's a it's a loose interpretation of events.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Make it tight for us, Like we want to understand
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: because when you say you walked into your man getting
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: in the bed.
• 43:20
  Speaker 16: Sound that sounds very specific.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: I'm envisioning her walking in and going off on.
• 43:24
  Speaker 16: Shorty and this and this is why I was like,
• 43:26
  Speaker 16: this is absolutely not the case. And that's why I
• 43:28
  Speaker 16: felt like a record like the person needed to happen.
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: So he went the clear of how you feel like
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: the social media in the industry was looking at you,
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: I wasn't at one time.
• 43:37
  Speaker 16: Just everything I h with that with that one line,
• 43:40
  Speaker 16: a lot of people are like, oh, it's one line.
• 43:42
  Speaker 16: One line. That one line like made people not want
• 43:44
  Speaker 16: to interview me, like you know what I'm saying, Like
• 43:46
  Speaker 16: what like this is proud of me saying anything, making
• 43:49
  Speaker 16: any song. I'm like, oh, now he's this, he's that,
• 43:51
  Speaker 16: you know what I'm saying. My whole I've never y'all
• 43:54
  Speaker 16: know me, y'all know me for a long time. I've
• 43:55
  Speaker 16: never been a bad person, never been painted any type
• 43:58
  Speaker 16: of way in at all, Like you know what I'm saying. Like,
• 44:01
  Speaker 16: so that that one, it hurt me personally, and then
• 44:04
  Speaker 16: to it it like tarnished my image. You tarnished my
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: you know what I'm saying? What was as a person?
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: One line that you did said that I think all
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: men out there felt was when you said you found
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: out a lot of stuff that was going on through
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: social media. So how did y'all deal with that? Because
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: even during that time, y'all still stay strong? So how
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: did y'all deal with that? Because it has to be
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: hard to find out something about your partner or anybody
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: on social or not face to face.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 44:27
  Speaker 16: I mean, you and somebody you love you, you find
• 44:29
  Speaker 16: a lot of endurance, Like you know what I'm saying,
• 44:31
  Speaker 16: You go through things, Yeah, I.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Mean on sexy and conceited. You said a girl could
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: stab you when you wouldn't leave.
• 44:37
  Speaker 16: So if someone can do something like that, if that's
• 44:39
  Speaker 16: the type of times you know what I'm saying, Like
• 44:41
  Speaker 16: I've been in toxic relationships. It's like, you know what
• 44:43
  Speaker 16: I'm saying, if we bonded, and we bonded whatever.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: But traumas, what's your sign? I'm a Capricorn, So so
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: my point by saying that is, you know if somebody
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: and I know you was just exaggerating when you say
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: somebody couldtab you and you wouldn't leave. Basically you're saying
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: you're willing to make things work through anything. You know
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. We liked that that, so you could
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: make it even if you did hear about her and
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: other people speaking of Megan, you could you could work
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: through that, right if you love it.
• 45:07
  Speaker 16: I don't think it's ever been an issue about who
• 45:10
  Speaker 16: she's been with or any or any partner, like you
• 45:13
  Speaker 16: know what I'm saying. I don't think that's something for
• 45:15
  Speaker 16: people to judge, like who you've been with, But I
• 45:18
  Speaker 16: think something to be judged is honesty, you know what
• 45:21
  Speaker 16: I'm saying.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: In a relationship, I think that's not going to be judged.
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: And that's the one thing that was surprised because you
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: don't speak much on social media. It's all about the music.
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: So at one time you was ready to go to war, right,
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: ready to to knuckle up with whoever it was, and
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: because you believe something, and then you found out that
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: what you believe wasn't the truth.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: So how was that dealt with?
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: Because you you were ready to fight whoever right as
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: you should, your girl, your your fiance, somebody was thinking
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: about you said you were going to pick out a ring,
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: and they sound.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Like you listened to the song. I listen to the album.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: You know. I like that.
• 45:49
  Speaker 16: I like that and I appreciate that because I feel
• 45:51
  Speaker 16: like when I see a lot of comments, so I
• 45:53
  Speaker 16: get a lot of questions, I'm like, yo, did you
• 45:55
  Speaker 16: listen to this? Like you know what I'm saying, I've
• 45:57
  Speaker 16: said spoke, I spoke my piece. I said what I'm saying. Like,
• 46:01
  Speaker 16: I've never been one to want to come in and
• 46:03
  Speaker 16: address a bunch of stuff, especially not anything this personal.
• 46:06
  Speaker 16: This like this serious to me on you know what
• 46:09
  Speaker 16: I'm saying in a uh, It's like, yeah, you know
• 46:12
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. And that's not my body. You know
• 46:14
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. I barely talk about my own music,
• 46:15
  Speaker 16: which I which I want people to here. You barely
• 46:17
  Speaker 16: put out music.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Shut up, man, time to put music.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: I guess here.
• 46:22
  Speaker 16: Sex tape is out now make sure, And I mean
• 46:24
  Speaker 16: sex tape just brings more questions them by that name.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 46:29
  Speaker 16: Sex is one of my topics that I go to often.
• 46:31
  Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying. It's especially in the music.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of things you can do with the
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: word sex though.
• 46:36
  Speaker 13: And then I mean, you know, right now, everybody's having
• 46:38
  Speaker 13: a conversation about you, Meg Tory, Lanez and then you
• 46:41
  Speaker 13: drop something you name it sex tape.
• 46:42

• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like you rushed to put this project
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: out just because to your point, you don't like people
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: talking about you. So when you put out the record
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: about Meg, it was so much backlash. He was like, man,
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: let me change the conversation a little bit.
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: Nah, this this, this project was coming. It was already slated,
• 50:17
  Speaker 16: and you know what I'm saying, it was already coming,
• 50:18
  Speaker 16: and uh, it just time was that the person song
• 50:23
  Speaker 16: took time away from me prepping the project. You know
• 50:26
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. That was just a one off. It's
• 50:27
  Speaker 16: not on the project because it wasn't for that, you
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: know what I'm saying.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't.
• 50:32
  Speaker 16: I never wanted this to be like, Yo, I'm about
• 50:34
  Speaker 16: to capitalize on this. I just felt like I needed
• 50:38
  Speaker 16: I needed to, Uh, I need to put it out
• 50:40
  Speaker 16: there so people could hear me, like you know what
• 50:42
  Speaker 16: I'm saying. And I didn't want it to be the
• 50:44
  Speaker 16: talking point of my creativity. I didn't want you know
• 50:47
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. That's a side note. I had to
• 50:49
  Speaker 16: do that for myself. But this is what I want
• 50:51
  Speaker 16: you to focus on. This is what's important to me.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: So what happened? Why did y'all break up? I mean,
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: because he's never like directly answered the question why.
• 51:00
  Speaker 16: Did we break up? There's a there's a there's a
• 51:02
  Speaker 16: laundry list of reasons that could have caused us to
• 51:05
  Speaker 16: be apart, and I.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Don't want you to give any of them. Because you
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: still love that young lady.
• 51:09
  Speaker 13: That was my next question, because on your project it
• 51:11
  Speaker 13: sounds like no. On the person, it sounds like you
• 51:13
  Speaker 13: still love it.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: You you definitely love Listen.
• 51:16
  Speaker 16: I'm a person that doesn't that believes love doesn't go away,
• 51:19
  Speaker 16: it changes, you know what I'm saying. Like, and I've
• 51:21
  Speaker 16: always and that's another thing I've stated, like Yo, I
• 51:23
  Speaker 16: always went well for her, Like you know what I'm saying.
• 51:25
  Speaker 16: I'm not a person that wants bad for her. I'm
• 51:27
  Speaker 16: not out here calling her all types of such and such.
• 51:30
  Speaker 16: I've never I've never even discussed some of the things
• 51:33
  Speaker 16: on that song with my closest friends, like you know
• 51:35
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. So when the song came, people's like, Yo,
• 51:39
  Speaker 16: that this You know what I'm saying.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 51:41
  Speaker 16: I never ever, once ever talked bad about her to anyone,
• 51:44
  Speaker 16: not even you know what I mean. Like, I'll do
• 51:46
  Speaker 16: wish the best? Would you do with the ring? And
• 51:48
  Speaker 16: you said that you picked that a ring from Greg Ruth, Greg,
• 51:51
  Speaker 16: that's our god. He didn't say he bought just don't
• 51:53
  Speaker 16: know if he actually got the Did you buy it?
• 51:55
  Speaker 16: Did you buy it or did you pick it up?
• 51:57
  Speaker 16: The money has been allotted for something different now, But
• 52:01
  Speaker 16: you said she lied to you about something? What did
• 52:04
  Speaker 16: she lie about what you was talking about earlier?
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Because when you buy a ring and you're about to propose, right,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: so you found out she lied about something and that
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: made you change your mind.
• 52:13
  Speaker 16: I felt like I felt like it made me definitely
• 52:17
  Speaker 16: half the second guess where we was at, you know
• 52:19
  Speaker 16: what I mean at that time? Like it took it,
• 52:22
  Speaker 16: it did, it did damage, you know what I'm saying,
• 52:23
  Speaker 16: Like internal, I don't know if it made us break apart,
• 52:27
  Speaker 16: but it was just like it definitely took a blow
• 52:29
  Speaker 16: to me.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Could you love again?
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Could you trust again? Absolutely? I think I'm open to
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: to love him. Can you tell every girl you loved him?
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: That guy? You my girlfriend? We gonna you that guy?
• 52:39
  Speaker 16: Absolutely not. It's hard for me to like really like
• 52:43
  Speaker 16: vibe consistently with a person, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 52:46
  Speaker 16: so I'm not that I love you that No, it's
• 52:48
  Speaker 16: not me.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: It's not me at all. Are you a person that
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: has to wear the pants in the relationship because you
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: got feminist tattooed across you? But on the I forgot
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: what record is on the album? You said only one
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: relationship and I got it. First of all? Pause, what
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: does that mean? You said that? Just a good line.
• 53:11
  Speaker 16: You can either cry about it or you've a wine punt.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying this is this is what
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: does that mean for you?
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: It's just like it's just like that sounds like very much.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I'm the man. What I say goals?
• 53:23
  Speaker 16: I don't know, and some sometimes in your relationship, man,
• 53:26
  Speaker 16: you have to be the man. Bro, you have to
• 53:27
  Speaker 16: be the feminist tattoos stomach. Yes, absolutely, I'm a man
• 53:31
  Speaker 16: that's a feminist. You don't think so you don't think
• 53:33
  Speaker 16: that's possible.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I got four daughters, so it's like and
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: I regardless.
• 53:38
  Speaker 16: And I have one that I love. Yeah, absolutely, that's
• 53:40
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying. So I'm very much a man. I'm
• 53:43
  Speaker 16: very much a feminist. I don't think the two have to,
• 53:45
  Speaker 16: you know, be at odds.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: So y'all gonna talk ever again, you you're very careful
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: what your words.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: About I think or spoke?
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Have you Magan spoke? Would you be open to that?
• 53:57
  Speaker 16: I don't know what the conversation would be about, you know,
• 54:01
  Speaker 16: I don't I don't know.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: We see Nellie and Shani's been the block.
• 54:04
  Speaker 16: I don't I don't foresee. I don't foresee that, but
• 54:07
  Speaker 16: you know what I do see?
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: What's that? Yeah?
• 54:09
  Speaker 16: It's on everything you know is on Spotify, on Apple Music.
• 54:15
  Speaker 16: Matter of fact, I'm the first person to ever have
• 54:17
  Speaker 16: his sex tape uploaded to Apple Music?
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Do you know that?
• 54:19
  Speaker 16: Yeah?
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And Spotify. I mean that is interesting. I do
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: wander because I can see the frustration and I know
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: it's got to be hard to go out here and
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: from the project and everybody asking you about you want
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: to talk about this? If I guess this is my
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: last question about that the person record, because you talked
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: about a lot of the trauma that she's been through.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: You say she needs to do work on herself. If
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: you knew that she had been through all these traumas
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: that she needs to deal with, why make a song
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: about it?
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Why put more salt in the wound? So to speak?
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: What that record was going?
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: That would a gaslight?
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Already need like she's not the bell of
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: the ball on social media. Social media, it makes her
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: more of a villain.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: Than especially after a song where she talks about not
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: wanting to be here.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Is that what is that what y'all pulled away from
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: the song?
• 55:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Is that what you pulled away from the song?
• 55:03
  Speaker 16: Honestly, honestly, that is one of.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: The things I pulled away from the song because cause
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: being that I know you and I know how you move,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, damn, why would party do this at
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: a time Like I didn't pull it for you just
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: said she just talked about how she wanted to kill
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: herself and all types of other things like why had
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: fuel to it?
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: But I pulled it as he was trying to clear
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: his name. That's what I pulled.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: I hurt people. I pulled both of y'all. Have y'all
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: own hurt from people?
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Hurt people?
• 55:25
  Speaker 13: No, not that like I meant, hurt people like them too,
• 55:27
  Speaker 13: both of them. I think that both of y'all have
• 55:29
  Speaker 13: y'all were both very publicly hurt and there's still some
• 55:32
  Speaker 13: of that there. That's why asks with y'all, would you
• 55:34
  Speaker 13: ever be open to having a conversation with her? But
• 55:36
  Speaker 13: I just felt like because again going back to what
• 55:39
  Speaker 13: I said earlier, because of what how like I myself,
• 55:42
  Speaker 13: I this my first as a fan, looked at you
• 55:44
  Speaker 13: as the protect black woman person. It's just like you
• 55:47
  Speaker 13: can get that lick back, but like is it even
• 55:49
  Speaker 13: really a lick? Like does that even stick?
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: For real? Did you cheat? Party? That's all people gonna
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: keep asking you over and over until you know, until
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: we give him. I gave an answer.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: You didn't.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: You did cheat?
• 56:05
  Speaker 16: Listen to you? You said you said, you said you
• 56:08
  Speaker 16: listened to the song. It's entirety you're sitting there.
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: You got to go back again.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: What context he was? He said he would never cheat.
• 56:12
  Speaker 16: First, damn context clues. I've put this in the it's
• 56:16
  Speaker 16: in there, like you know what I'm saying.
• 56:17
  Speaker 13: Read, I've said this, boy, how are you reading now
• 56:20
  Speaker 13: with the Are you still like people been sing you
• 56:23

• 56:29
  Speaker 7: Or like?
• 56:29
  Speaker 15: How?
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: Because how are you dealing with a whole new person
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: and you don't seem kind of like close off or
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: like done with what you've been through?
• 56:37
  Speaker 16: Listen, this is so, this is this is why social
• 56:39
  Speaker 16: media is like an illusion, right, Like this song comes
• 56:43
  Speaker 16: out and now it's brand new again. You got to
• 56:45
  Speaker 16: think about how long we have been separated? You know
• 56:47
  Speaker 16: what I'm saying you've seen other people like months and
• 56:50
  Speaker 16: months ago.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Like this is not new, Like.
• 56:53
  Speaker 16: I've been through this process of healing. I've done my all, right,
• 56:59
  Speaker 16: this is the my reality. This is we've gone separate.
• 57:02
  Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying, I've done and taking that time.
• 57:04
  Speaker 16: I guess social media makes it look like it was
• 57:07
  Speaker 16: like this.
• 57:07
  Speaker 8: That's the part that sucks because when we've seen it.
• 57:09

• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Friday party.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you for joining us, brother, Thank you, thank you.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: Time you get.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: You are, I'm a fat and all that shit around
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: your eyes.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: They want this man to dog the blows man, wait
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: to top the gloves to make a.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: of the Day. They chose you the Breakfast Club.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Bitch you Who's donkey of the day today?
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Donkey of Today goes to a thirty year old Connecticut
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: man named Kobe Parker. Now Kobe Parker called police at
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: around eight eighteen pm to report his child missing from
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: his car parked outside Price Chopper supermarket in Connecticut, already
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: told police he had gone into the store and left
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: the child in his vehicle, but the child was missing
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: when he came back. Now, before we even get into
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: the details of the story, I feel like he could
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: get the biggest he hall for simply leaving his child
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: in the car. Okay, I don't know why parents would
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: still be leaving their children in the car under any circumstances.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: There is absolutely zero reason for you to leave your
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: little child in a car. We've seen enough examples of
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: kids dying from he'd exhaust, he dishausted. We've seen enough
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: examples of kids being kidnapped. Like, your child is not
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: a pet, bro That's why I hate when people call
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: their pets kids, because if you had actual kids, you
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: would know the difference, all right, If you don't let
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: your child outside the peete, and you shouldn't, even though
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: people do, leave your child in the car while you're
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: running the store. Real quick, Now, the story gets way
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: stupider than this, because it turns out the child was
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: indeed missing, but not because of a kidnapping, but because
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: of a good old fashioned thing called parental neglect. Let's
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: go to WTNH News eight for the report. Please.
• 59:50
  Speaker 17: Lasha Rushavano reported his child went missing from his car
• 59:53
  Speaker 17: while he was inside the Mansfield Price Chopper, Pelicia.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: It turns out that thirty year old Kobe Parker actually left.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 17: A child home alone and only thought the child was
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 17: with him. At last conducted a search around the store.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 17: That's when they sent officers to Parker's house. They found
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 17: the child there.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Fine.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 17: Police say Parker failed a sobriety test. The child was
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 17: placed in custody of a family member.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Failed a sobriety test. That man was high. Okay, I
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: knew this man was high before I even heard the story.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: The news report said he failed a sobriety test. He
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: probably was drinking too. But this man was operating on
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: at least a forty to sixty milligram edible. Okay, I
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: know edible. Actually, when I hear it, I hadn't been
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: high off of edible. Scrolling through Instagram looking for my
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: phone and I only got one phone. Okay, speaking of phone,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: some of y'all care about your phones more than you
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: care about your kids. Okay, before you leave your house,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: you're checking for your keys, wilet, phone, we need to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: add kids to that. Kids keys wilet phone. It's like
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: the heads, shoulders, knees in tosknes in toes, kids keys though,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: wilet phone, wilet phone. We will lose our minds if
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: we leave home without our phones. Before we get in
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: the call, we check it for it in God for
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: a bit. We drive a little bit and then go
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: to our phone and make a call to go to
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: our phone and turn the music on. If we don't
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: feel our phones, we will stop everything and run back
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: to the house. This man Kobe did not feel that
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: way about his own flesh and blood. Now I understand
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: possibly being high enough that you forgot the kid at home,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: But you were so high you actually thought you put
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: the kid in the car, scrapped them up. Probably turned
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: on revolting children from Matilda the musical, singing along with
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: the child, we are revolting children, living and revolting times.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: You got out the car okay in your mind, thinking
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: you'll be right back, probably cracked the window in all,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: told the child you was gonna get them something and everything,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: and then came back to the car and thought the
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: child that was never there had been kidnapped. Glasses. I
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: think he on the sharm that you used to serve. Okay,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: this sounded like pee wee sherman to me? Does this
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: sound like sharm used to do the U glasses?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 16: No?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: No, something else is wrong with him.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think people, even on sharm forget their chess.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: They just don't forget their chairs. Damn.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Always remember, man, children may forget what you say, but
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: they will never forget how you made them feel, especially
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: when you forget them. Please let me Ma give Kobe
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: Parker the biggest he hall.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: He haw he ha.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: You stupid motherfuck?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Are you dumb? All right? Look, it's a relief he
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't kidnapped, But man, leaving the kid at the house,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: that might have been worse. I know y'all watch home
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: alone and think kids can handle themselves and never adult
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: turn around. But this ain't a movie.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: Dun Have y'all ever did that.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: I know the kids at home.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 13: Your first kid, Like I always am scared that when
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 13: I have my first kid, I might forget like, okay,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 13: I have the kid and leave the kids somewhere.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: I guess you're doing. I guess you're leaving your kid
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: on top of the car driving off.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: That's one of my fears, like the car seat, like
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: just because I don't know, you're moving so fast and
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: it's new.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: I used to double check my niece like, okay, she's here.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: I think you're gonna know, especially you, you're gonna carry
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: it for nine months, push it out. You're not gonna
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: forget that double check. Trust definitely something only a man
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: will do. That's never done it.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I'm super sensitive.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 8: Like even when my kids are sleeping, I'm the one
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 8: that looks to see if they chest is moving after
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 8: actually breathing at night at times, Yeah, I do that
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 8: all the time. Same thing when I'm driving in the car.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 8: Make sure like I'm very, very extra when it comes
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 8: to the kids.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: That's good to know.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: We are revolting children living in revolting times.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Et. We'll see them all pie Et the Breakfast Club,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Everybody is dj.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 8: En v Charlamagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 8: was still kicking it with Rich Paul. He has a
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 8: new book Luckily out right now. You know him as
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 8: the agent to Lebron James, Anthony Davis and so many more.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Charlomagne podcast Why You Disrespect Michael Jordan Like that on
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: the podcast.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't disrespect Michael Jordan.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: You said that. He you said bron is Platinum and
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Michael go Like damn.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I said for me, because the way I'm looking at
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: it is you never respected Michael Jordan too.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: You said that in the book.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: I did not see. I did not say that. That's right,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: but you're not gonna do that.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: You said you said you respected him on the court,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: but off the court he wasn't for the culture, basically
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: is what you said.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: No, I said I respected him on the court, of course,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: but there was no touch. Michael Jordan was a different
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: guy off the court.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: I had several examples of Michael Jordan off the court, right,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: So that's not a slight to me. I love Michael Jordan,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: by the way, every shoe until like after fourteen, because
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: it started getting a little weird every game I used
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: to watch the commercials. Wouldn't even shay I was a
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Everything you said about Jordan in the book, I understood
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: exactly what you mean.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's my thing. So like I was more culturally, yeah,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: but but okay, So when you think about a guy
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: like Alan Iverson, imagine if Alan Iverson had a rich Paul.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. It's a different dynamic because
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: I understand him. I understand culture, and I know what
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: those braids and what that armsleeve did, and I understand
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: the business that that that didn't necessarily go with Rebound.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Who you were talking with back then, Nike? Did Nike?
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: You understand it because he was there. It's not like
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Nike you offer of him something.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Alan Iverson knew what his agent total. You can spend it,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: hire which way you want to spend it. And if
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: you don't know culture, how many pairs of sneakers you
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: think his agent bought.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Alan ivers I don't know, but I know I bought
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: a bunch of the man I'm just saying, prior.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: To Alan Iverson, how many pairs of sneakers you think
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: is agent probably bought? Now his agent?
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, probably not exactly.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: So how could you How could you do a shoe
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: deal for me? And you don't because you're gonna get
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: very few guys that can actually move product. Everybody have
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: a signature shoe cannot move product. So that's just for
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: your ego. When you have a signature shoe, to go
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: is to build a signature business. There's been very few
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: guys that can build a signature business.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: My thing is, you can't help me make that decision.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Now you can help ninety nine point nine percent of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: the players make a decision on a shoe deal because
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: it's just He's simple. If you don't care about the brand,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: pretty much, most guys don't on to where who's paying
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: the most money. It's only gonna work while I'm playing.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: But if you're an Alan Iverson, that ain't what you need.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: You need somebody that understands culture, understands cool, understands product.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, because you have the opportunity
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: to build a business that can have sustainability in the
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: marketplace much longer than you play.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the Platinum Antlas thing though.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: No, Okay, So all I'm saying is that's just for me.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I think people people oftentimes want you to think how
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: they think for whatever reason. Obviously we know MJ's a
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: goat of his era.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: No, he's the goat of his era. He's the goat
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: rich It's okay.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Of listen, you can't compare errors, man like you can't
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: fallt MJ. For the era he played in. You can't
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: fault Lebron for the air he played in. You can't
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: fault Steph Curry for changing Steph Curry changed the game
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: of basketball in the way it's played. My coach Frank
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Novak or coach j May rest in peace with Glenville,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: legendary coach. If you stepped across half court and shot
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: a forty foot jumper, that's a bad shot. Steph Curry
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: turned a bad shot into a great shot for Steph Curry,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: not for everybody. You know what I'm saying. We can
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: knock those things. And again, when you talk about the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Jordan Lebron, everybody gonna have their own opinion. You're you're
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: entired to that. Michael Jordan was the best guy ever
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: seen played a game of basketball until twenty years of Lebron.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Me saying twenty years of Lebron, that's not a knock.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Lebron could also play with Mike. I think Lebron would
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: have been just as good in Mike's era.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Do you think people will ever fully appreciate le Bron? No,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: if we keep comparing him to Michael Jordan, that's my thing.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: Lebron was the first person that did things how he
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: wanted to do it, unapologetically. They wanted him to do
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: everything like Mike. Well, I don't have to do that.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: That shouldn't be a knock on me.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: Good marketing, though, be like Mike. Everybody wanted to be
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: like Mike.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, everybody wanted to be like Mike.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: That was a great.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: That was a great you know when you think about himself.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: But when you think about that.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: It shot hurts you that bad man you beat Cleveland
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: No, I actually no, I was actually a Mike fan.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I was actually I'm still a Mike fan. I talked
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: to Mike all the time, like it's not that's not
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: a thing.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Do y'all argue about who's better him?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: We had we go on the base about different things.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: I got the utmost respect for Mike. We're gonna rebate
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: debates about different things. But I'm also a truth like,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I don't sugarcoat things. And I'm never gonna get in
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: the room. It could be Jay Z in here and
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: Mike in here, and and then here comes Charlotte Man
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: and I act like I don't know you, or I
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: start talking different. I'm not gonna get to New York
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: and start talking like I'm from New York.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: We don't play that where I'm from. So it don't
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: matter who it is on the other end, If I
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: believe something, that's what I believe, it's not a slight
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: to anybody. I think Mike's to go. I also think
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Lebron's to go.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: I agree with that.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: I think the antlers are a little different for different reasons.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with the game of basketball, though.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: The great business ball players all time, my top five
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: all time, Top five of all time, Bron, Mike. I mean,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: I gotta put Steph in there now because step at three,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: not in no particular I'm doing positions, Okay, Okay, yeah,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I got I gotta put Kobe in there too. You
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: got to think about no, No, I'm just saying I
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: gotta put Kobe in there.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Four.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: You got one more four? Magic shack? You go nah,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: because I already got my point guard and I rock
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: with magic. But I mean, you know I would go
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: shock shack. Yeah, I would probably go shack. But you
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: know I don't do top five. That's my team that
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: nobody can beat. That's my team. But then when you
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: talk about just great players. Kevin Durant's a great player.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Despite what anybody has to say. The league is full
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: of great players right now. Giannis is a great player.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: You know Damian Lillard. People try to get on a
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: guy like a d but there's no better basketball player.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: When you talk about Anthony Davis when he's playing the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: game of basketball level, he's unbelievable. But these young guys today,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: you look at what Jason Tatum, I mean, all these
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: and I have the guys that I represent, the young
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: guys that I represent. We got dogs Man Garland, Maxie John,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: John tay Trey, you know, Miles Bridges is back, Zach Lavine,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Darrin Fox in the world.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Just maybe what was the dude named Drew Rosenhouse. Maybe
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but not.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Because you understand, like I'm appreciative of my guys, You're
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: only as strong as the guys allow you to be.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: You know, the way I go about and we go
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: about our business as a company, it's just different. We
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: know I'm not I know I'm not gonna be able
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: to represent every player, every family. Don't want to hear
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: the truth when you're in a meeting, and at the
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: same time, you know, you still got parents that believe
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: in the so called establishment, and you still got people
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: that are defined by their business card. I don't. I
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: don't care a business card because I define a business card.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: It's a difference, you know.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 8: All right, we got more with Rich Paul when we
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 8: come back. His book Lucky Meat is out right now.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 8: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Only everybody is DJ MV Charlamagne, the guy we are.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club was still kicking him with Rich Paul.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: He has a new book, Lucky Meet out right now.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 8: You know him as the agent to Lebron, James, Anthony
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 8: Davis and so many more. When the league tried to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 8: box you out, how difficult was that because at one
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 8: time they tried to change the rich the Rich Paul
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 8: rule where you had to go to school and this,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 8: that and the other. When they tried to box you out,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 8: break that down, a couple of things happened.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: So when I first got in the business, the first
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: thing there was an article written on me that tried
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: to basically stuck my growth or stop me from being
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: put in position to even represent players. That was done
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: strategically coming from a place I once was, and they
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: tried to do that. A couple people did. That was
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: one thing that many people skip over and don't even
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: know about. And so I had to go through this
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: whole thing, the NC DOUBLEA investigating me all that found nothing,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: but the young man lost its eligibility, which was bad.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: It really cost him. But that came from somebody strategically
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: targeting me to try to do that number one, And
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: at the time when the article was written, it was like, damn,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: you got them to write this article about me that
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: you know not true. That really pissed me off. And
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: then from there the rule from the NC DOUBLEA that
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: became the Rich Paul rule that said agents had to
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: have a college degree to be able to represent people
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: that are testing the water, meaning that I'm not sure
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: if I'm a pro or not, and I want to
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: keep my eligibility. Well, I don't really represent guys that's
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: testing the water anyway. So I really wasn't focused on that.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, when I thought about it
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit more, I'm like, damn, this is not
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: even about me per se, because I'm already over the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: hell in terms of I made on another side, it's
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: nothing that could really do to me. This is about
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: people come behind me, right, and so they're trying to
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: stop that. And that's when I wrote the opt ed.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: It took six days from the take it down or
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: whatever it was like, they totally removed it because that
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: was BS.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: And it was clear and blatant.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: Didn't know that, Yeah, it was blatant.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now I know. Books are always you know, great
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: first steps, first steps in the journey of healing. So
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: what are you doing to unpack some of the trauma
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: that you experienced throughout your life? Right in?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: This book was very therapeutic for me.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: I needed that. I needed that because, you know, as
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: a kid, I bottled so much and I didn't know
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: anything about talking to a therapist.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: Back then.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: You know, the therapist was like guy with a fifth
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: of rolls in his hand. He drunk, you talk, you know.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: But today I'm in a much different space. And that's
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: why I felt it was kind of like four things
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: motivation the book. I think it was important to get
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: people perspective and perception, and then to allow people to
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: walk with you through your journey and these experiences because
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: we have shared experiences despite race, gender, whatever the case
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: may be. Background wherever you came from. There's a chapter
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: in this book that you share an experience with me
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: in some shape form of fast for sure, and for
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: some people most chapters in this books you're gonna share
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: and experience and experience with me. So the timing of
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: it just felt right. And anything I do is gutting heart, man,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: you know. And just like me and Lebron's texting the
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: other day and I was like, man, I really want
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: to get the artist to do like a self destruction
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: or all the same gang type song because it's just
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: what's happening today with our youth, just just so much
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: careless killing. And I don't knock the music in terms
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: of sharing your story, but it's just to a point
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: to where we need a different message. And that's not
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: to not be cool and not to be relatable and
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: all that. I know the relatability thing, but it's also
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: relatable to tell somebody what you're doing, why you're doing it,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: and why not to do it as well, because that's
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: what we grew up on, you know what I'm saying,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Like change is cool to cop, but more important it
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: is lawyers fees. That's how it is now, That's how
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: it always be I never changed. It's always me, you know,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: like I can't expect you to be Jay and I don't.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, there's a balance, right, But
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: we need that we need because it's just crazy. That's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: what's going on, you know right now. It's not even
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: about no money. You know this, And there's there's a
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: there's a chapter in the book, remember I talk about
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: the kid who said, well, that's why your mom smoke crack.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: Right and used to snap crazy, And then when they
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: do that, you get frozen. N how to navigate through that, right?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: And today it's hard for kids to do that because
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: social media is observer's paradox. And so if me and
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: you got into it that school and we was in
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: the bathroom, but Envy was the only one that's seen us.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like, well, I want to know you
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: say you want Well, m the only one that's seen us.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe he want to comment on it. Maybe he don't.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: I think would have been teasing Envy. I just feel
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: like that. I feel like I feel like he got
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: to give you light skinned.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta you gotta relax on V with the
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: last kids. Relax Richard. You know, I support envy back
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: in the day when they did a lot for us
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: in the in the culture, like you gotta relaculous. But
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: what I will say is just like but today, anything
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: you do, if a kid don't get a like they
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: take the picture down or enough, like you know, and
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: then now it's about comments that people are making and
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: it's calls in this retaliation and you're losing the kid
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: prior to so I look at it. I'm saying, like
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: you got to be able to get there, like these
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: kids not even allowing themselves to get there to where
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we all did crazy stuff when you're young,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: but like who you are today, how you perceive life
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: and you know, your family and different things like that
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: your job. When you look back on some of the
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: things you did when you was young, like and that
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: was stupid. That was really stupid, you know. And so
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: but they're not even getting a chance to look back.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: They want to do it. They want to it's a
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: cloud thing and it's and it's a it's just a
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: weird place right now.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: East side of Cleveland. Yeah, Edmonton, Yeah, one twenty fifth.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Edmonton is like the to the exact Google map boom origin.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: But Glendale community in Saint Clair's where I'm is, where
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: I'm from.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: How does the Dell fare in those environments? I took
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: her there really? Hell yeah?

• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: I don't you know in the book and when you
• 1:17:46

• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: no matter how far I go in life, I take

  Speaker 1: Cleveland with me because I couldn't be me without Cleveland,
• 1:17:53
