  Speaker 5: cut it out respect.
• 2:12
  Speaker 12: I agree he did that, but she's speaking for her
• 2:14
  Speaker 12: and you're speaking for you. So you respect your wife,
• 2:17
  Speaker 12: but that doesn't speak to how she feel about what
• 2:18
  Speaker 12: you present them. So he could think he's respecting her
• 2:22

  Speaker 1: Hello, who's this?
• 6:32
  Speaker 15: Oh?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: This is a game's up.
• 6:36
  Speaker 16: I'm just pad at the older generation expecting that the
• 6:40
  Speaker 16: younger generation should have retire the same age as because
• 6:44
  Speaker 16: I'm at work and I see these guys, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 16: six something years years old working and they old.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 6:51
  Speaker 16: I'm just like, man, I can't be that old when
• 6:54
  Speaker 16: I retired.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: Well you know what they say, Well, somebody told me
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: back in the day, retirement is not an age, it's
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: an income. I don't even know if I believe that anymore,
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: because there's people I know that make mad money, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: they just love what they do.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people love to work, and then
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, you know, honestly don't know how
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: to prepare for the future. You also got to think,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: you know, this is the generation where we're starting to
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: learn more about financial freedom. So a lot of times,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: you know that the generation before us didn't actually know
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: how to retire, didn't know how to save so they
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: can retire.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So some people still have to work.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: That's why when you see sometimes when you go into
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: those supermarkets and you go to those places and you
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: see an older person working, you got to give them
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: patience and help them out because sometimes they're there because
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: they have to and they're just trying to, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: get by like everybody else.
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know what they say when when you
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: stop moving, you know, you start to die. Yeah, some
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: people don't want to keep some people want to keep moving.
• 7:43
  Speaker 16: I guess that's maybe the professional I'm in right I'm
• 7:45
  Speaker 16: an electrician. I'm in a trade out of Vegas right now.
• 7:50
  Speaker 16: And I mean these guys just don't want to retire.
• 7:54
  Speaker 16: They feel like if they retire, they're gonna die.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that could be a chance.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And I'll be honest, I'd rather the mess with the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: older electrician or older mechanic or older doctor because a
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: lot of times they didn't see everything, they didn't been
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: through it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You know, Like that about your president, you feel like,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like.
• 8:11
  Speaker 16: This should be an age president, just like they got time.
• 8:15
  Speaker 15: You had me.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Y'all want y'all want everything else.
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: Age. You want your cognact age, your electrician age. But
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: when it comes to your president. You don't want your
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: own president.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: You using a mechanic or electrician like they've been through
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: everything to see what works and what doesn't work. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of this new generation they rely on AI
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: or computers to see what's wrong I rather than tell me.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But for president, he keeps falling. Your president definitely keeps falling.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Tell you the president need a care Give Hello, who's
• 8:42

  Speaker 5: the shooting.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You had mothers. There was a group of mothers who

  Speaker 1: got together.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Who didn't have kids in school, who came up just
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: to show support for kids who were far away from home.

• 11:14
  Speaker 5: rich into the we're a new Morgan thing. So we
• 11:17

• 11:32
  Speaker 5: an hby means for our community. So you know, at
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: this time in my life, I'm happy to be able

  Speaker 5: to be there for my school.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Whatever they need.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: They call me for anything, if the students need anything,
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: my frat brothers need anything, they hit me up and like,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: let's go do X, Y and Z.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Do you think they should have canceled on coming.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: I think it was a good call by doctor Wilson
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: is an incredible leader for that school. And let's imagine
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: if he didn't cancer this black Mama ain't canceled, it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: a tragedy. So he did the smart thing, he did
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: the thing that someone in academia should do. Let's cancel this.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Everybody else though, we went and partied and everybody had
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: a great time.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: All the events around homecomings. Yeah, none of that. You ain't.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You ain't canceling rare essence.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: You ain't canceling the go go because you know, you're
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: not even supposed to have a go go in Baltimore
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: in the first place. So the fact that you got
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: a go go in Baltimore or we coming, and you're
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: not canceling that you can't Baltimore. It's too old Baltimore.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Most of the country doesn't really doesn't know that. There
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: is a unspoken rivalry between the African American community and
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Baltimore and the African American community in DC.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: They got their own language. They and so we have too.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: We grew up with two different Like you said, culches,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: different accents, music, food, we did, way we dress and
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: the and the like.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So when I got to Baltimore, there was no go go.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: But so ever you did not don't even don't even
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: bring that up in Baltimore now because of I think,
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: because of the twenty thirty is that DC has been
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: heavy going to Morgan State making alliances in the city.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: My wife is from the west side. First, let me
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: say that my wife is from the West side of Baltimore.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: And when I married a Baltimore woman, the DC women.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Like, hold on, ah, y'all, no, that's not what we're doing.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, that's what we do. You ain't.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: You don't sleep with her, you haven't had some of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that that old bait that she served.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: She's got a crab boy for your ass that you
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: you don't know nothing about. And so I think that
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: there's slowly, but surely there's there's an alliance that has
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: been coming between Baltimore and DC. At least the the
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: hard line has been softened. I won't say that is
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: an alliance, but the hard line has been softened. But
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: you never hear about this rivalry that we had that
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: goes on. I think it's the stupidest thing ever. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: think that the two communities, African American communities in those
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: major cities. D C's a major city, Baltimore is a
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: major city.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I think we need to come.
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, anything that brings you all together, I would think,
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: like comedy, right, because I think your comedy underrated comedy
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: is an underrated comedy scene in Baltimore, DC.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: You got Dave, you got Donall so here quick, just hilarious.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: So here's how we feel about that. The same applies.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: So it's like this growing up. Anything coming out of Baltimore,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: you just automatically x and if you in Baltimore, anything
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: coming out of DC, you just automatically x NA.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: You don't know them. I learned that from my my
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Baltimore gooons.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: What's up with y'all? I ain't saying no name, what's
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: up a y'all? But I know some straight goods, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: you know Baltimore. You know, the wire was real.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Let's let's let's keep let's keep it the buck. The
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: wire was real, and the climate in Baltimore, it's it's serious,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it's very very serious.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: So it's gonna take thirty forty years for that alliance
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: to pop off.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It was talking about black folks who are setting their ways.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Black folks are very very slow to change, and unless
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: you have a reason to change, a very straightforward reason
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: to change, ain't ain't gonna be that much change when
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: we come back with Kicking It with Joe Claire, so
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: don't move.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning, the Breakfast Club, wanting
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: everybody's DJ n V.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club, but kicking
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: it with Joe Clair, of course from Rap City Charlomagne.
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: Another thing too, I was watching the doc Man, I've
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: always loved the interview you did with Big.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: That's that's the iconic in the Biggie and I knew
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that was Big. I couldn't. I knew that was Big
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: last interview. It was his last television interview. I think
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I think I think swave might have been his last
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: radio and he was going, he went to the radio.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Now did y'all shoot that in La? Shot it in La.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: That's what we was laying like in the park, right
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: we sit in So we really were on a sound.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Stage and they were shooting the hypnotized video. The dance
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: scenes were going on in there. So they took a break.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: From that, sat us outside and that's how that interview
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: popped off.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: Always wondered, were you concerned for your safety shooting out
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: in LA at the time, because it was all the
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: East Coast West Coast beef and all of that.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: I'm concerned for my safety every day, so my head
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: is always on a swivel. So I didn't feel any
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: more concern than I normally feel when I go to La.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I just know, like doing Rap City.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: The thing that I knew was when you go to
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: somebody hood, when you go to a city, you abide
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: by they rules.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You shut your mouth, don't start no shit, won't be
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: no sea.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: So nah, I didn't have any extra concerns for my
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: safety that day. We had plenty of security ANIMI civilian.
• 16:45
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Then I sit and I do the interview. It's a

  Speaker 1: If you're gonna smoke with somebody, you're gonna smoke with
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: biggie smoke.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: So I had to catch a red eye that night
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: because I was going out on the Deaf Comedy Jam tour.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: This was the first night, so I had to fly
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: home Wednesday after getting the interview, pack my bags, get

• 23:36
  Speaker 3: We're talking to women out there, are black women out there.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Do you believe what he says? Do you believe where
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: you know? You should stop looking for a pockets and
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: look more for love. I definitely think everybody should stop
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: looking for pockets. You should definitely look for love. You
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: should look for a person that's got good character. You look,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: you should look for a person that's got a good spirit.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like somebody that's gonna hold
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: you down, you know, as a human, like because finances
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: go up, finances go down. Like, it's not always gonna
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: be about money. If if, if all, if all it
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: takes is money, what are you you hope.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Matter now? It takes money? Response up here?
• 24:11
  Speaker 21: Okay, but keep in mind, as much as you're telling
• 24:13
  Speaker 21: us to go look for deeper than just the wallets,
• 24:17
  Speaker 21: some people just don't have any depth.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: There's nothing else to them.
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: Well, I don't think you have any depth of all
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: you're looking forward to money? No, I don't think if
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: all you're saying is I wanted somebody with money.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: What if he checks all the boxes.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: He's a great guy, he treats you well, he's you
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: can see him being a great father.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: He does everything except financially.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: It could be friends because for me, No, look for me,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying ambition, like that's more important than money, Richie.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: So ambition equates the wealth, like you have to have
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: wealth to be ambitious. No, no, no, no, that makes
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: zero sense. But let's let's let's let's go to the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: phone lines. A lot of people that he's filling women
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: in a pair of tough boy and that's what he's saying.
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: Hello, who is hi?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I'm Jocelyn, Hey, Jocely, good morning, good morning. Now let's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: let's talk about what Tyler Perry said. What's your thoughts.
• 25:11
  Speaker 19: I think Tyler Perry's statement is rooted and idealism, Like
• 25:15
  Speaker 19: we're not talking about millionaire salaries. We're talking about average salaries.
• 25:19
  Speaker 19: And even if it's two hundred thousand or three hundred
• 25:21
  Speaker 19: thousand and eight dollars a year that a woman is
• 25:23
  Speaker 19: making men contribute different things to a relationship as you women.
• 25:28
  Speaker 19: So a man who doesn't make a lot of money
• 25:30
  Speaker 19: is not going to come in the house and cook
• 25:32
  Speaker 19: and clean and you know, show up a nice launderie
• 25:34
  Speaker 19: and do all those things.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Why would I be wearing en? They still? Why would
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I do? I would cook and I would clean. You
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, You're acting person.
• 25:50
  Speaker 19: They've always been apt to settle, and then when they
• 25:52
  Speaker 19: fall and their salaries full and they fall into financial situation,
• 25:56
  Speaker 19: it's like, why do you marry that, brokelyn? Why do
• 25:58
  Speaker 19: you marry a man who keeps that too?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And you attract what you are?
• 26:02
  Speaker 19: Always realistic?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Settle? Now, I don't think this is settling. I really
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: don't think this is settling.
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: I think that you know, you shouldn't asked for anything
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: in somebody else that you don't have in yourself. Don't
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: look for nothing in anyone that you don't have in yourself. Now, see,
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: I really feel like, can you make those kind of
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: demands in me?
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: I really feel like when when I think things got worse,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: when people started concentrating on money, right, and I just looked.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Back at my parents, my aunts, my uncles, my grandparents.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: They didn't have money. It was just it was about love.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: My dad was a police officer, my mom worked at
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: an insurance compan They wasn't money.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: They just fell in love.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: But then I also think about you know, when I
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: met my wife, I was fifteen sixty, it wasn't about money.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: We didn't have any money.
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: Can you imagine being this is this thing about you
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: broke as hell, but you like I don't want nobody
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: but a rich man.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: You broke.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Why would that rich man want you? Brookie shouldn't be dating.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that either. Where are these stupid rules
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: coming from?
• 26:54
  Speaker 23: Hello?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Hello, Hey, what's your day? Hey? What's your thoughts to
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: what Tyler Perry said? Mama.
• 26:59
  Speaker 18: I I do understand where he's coming from, and I
• 27:02
  Speaker 18: do also understand where Tarva, Maine is coming from, because
• 27:05
  Speaker 18: I steel that way as well. But I don't think
• 27:07
  Speaker 18: he's say, lord, your standards. I'm just I think he's
• 27:10
  Speaker 18: just speaking on if you are with someone who just
• 27:12
  Speaker 18: works a regular nine to five, and he's affecting that,
• 27:15
  Speaker 18: he's treating you right. He's taking care of the things
• 27:17
  Speaker 18: that he can take care of with. If you're working,
• 27:19
  Speaker 18: you can take care of something, and it's a genuine person.
• 27:24
  Speaker 18: Don't try to look for someone who makes all of
• 27:26
  Speaker 18: this money just for you, not to receive other things
• 27:29
  Speaker 18: that's important as well, like don't necessarily worry about finances.
• 27:33
  Speaker 18: But I do understand where Scharla Maine is coming from.
• 27:35
  Speaker 18: With women, they do cand to always say they want
• 27:38
  Speaker 18: to stand with so much money and all these things,
• 27:40
  Speaker 18: but they don't have as much money as well. They
• 27:42
  Speaker 18: want a man with all these fancy cars if they
• 27:44
  Speaker 18: don't have none at all.
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: Right, so right, because why would a rich man want
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: a broke woman? Why would I want a woman who
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: just wants me for my money? You know what I'm
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: saying that I'm gonna end up giving you half of
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: everything that I've ever acquired when this relationship is over.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: For what now? Victoria, somebody else that works pair just
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: came and she came in here so dominican. Just now,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: she came in here, very mean.
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: She was so Dominican when she walked in this room.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: Tell him to say exactly how you said it when
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: you walked in the room.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I said, we can't be two Broki's together.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And I said, yes, you can't. No, we can.
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: And sometimes you might just have to be. There might
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: not be any other choice, but y'all might come up together.
• 28:20
  Speaker 21: But when we get into that situation of like, oh,
• 28:22
  Speaker 21: I'm not happy, Like but you knew what he was
• 28:24
  Speaker 21: when you met him, and now you were sitting here
• 28:26
  Speaker 21: telling me I need to rock with the brokes, makes
• 28:27
  Speaker 21: you think you're.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Gonna be happy with the rich man.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: The rich man gonna probably treat you worse because the
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: rich man is like, you don't bring nothing.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: To the table. You keep saying financially So what is
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: financially stable? I just said, someone that's able to take
• 28:43

• 28:56
  Speaker 3: up pair our producers that work in the back and waterfalls,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: that is Victoria. You came in here, a little spicy Victor.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Now for God treats you well, that's everything he's supposed
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: to do. He's not cheating, know how to sucer.
• 29:15

  Speaker 1: But does not have much money? Do you still date them?
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, as long as you're not too broke.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: But that's all. That's all I'm saying.
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: I just don't want you to stop looking for love, man,
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: something for good character in people.
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: Man?

• 29:34
  Speaker 4: So y'all don't want to go against what managed supposed
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: to provide and everything else, y'all want to go against that.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: What is it supposed to provide? We work hard, some
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: some some what they can.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: All I'm saying is me where I'm at. That's all
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: And that's all.
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: I don't look for nothing in anybody you don't have
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: in yourself each other.
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: That's all I'm saying.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Well, if he's a good guy, blah blah blah, but
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: he's not at the level that I'm at.
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: No, no, no, But I want you, first of all,
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: I would encourage people never detailer because she's a terrible person.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Human means very Never want to a woman like that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to challenge you.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: That's what it is.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: So let's go to the phone. The Philly women are crazy. Hello,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: who's this Eric?
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: How you doing?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Good morning? What do you think of what Tyler Perry said?
• 30:29
  Speaker 23: I think she was wrong, I honestly do it's in
• 30:32
  Speaker 23: the Bible. I mean to get out and man, I'm
• 30:37
  Speaker 23: just saying read the Bible like that's that's the hierarchy.
• 30:42
  Speaker 23: I think the man is supposed to protect and provide, like, yes,
• 30:46
  Speaker 23: I gotta take you might just.
• 30:49
  Speaker 24: Be one of my kids.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Doesn't necessarily mean by chingel bags and burkings and cars.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: That means food and make sure you're safe. And you
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: think a man can't protect and provide for you just
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: because you got more money, But then.
• 31:00
  Speaker 24: Why am I making more money in the first place?
• 31:02
  Speaker 24: Is the question? If you're supposed to be I mean.
• 31:04
  Speaker 23: A real man is not going to take that.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: A real that's not true.
• 31:08
  Speaker 24: The household.
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: Now, I wish men thought that men. If men thought
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: like this, women wouldn't. Who would have been Who would
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: women be?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: With women?
• 31:15
  Speaker 19: I'm actually thought this.
• 31:17
  Speaker 24: Some cultures they don't even allow their women to work.
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: I'm not I'm not agreeing with that because I'm.
• 31:21
  Speaker 24: An independent woman married an independent woman. But at the
• 31:24
  Speaker 24: same time, I believe the man is supposed to hold
• 31:27
  Speaker 24: everything down. A woman is supposed to hold down the kids,
• 31:30
  Speaker 24: the household, him mentally, physically, emotionally, And why I have
• 31:35
  Speaker 24: to do all of that and provide the money as well.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you a question.
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: If you already got the money as a woman, if
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: you rich already, there's only one other thing to have,
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: and that's love.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: It one other thing to have. That's a man that's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: gonna hold you down, to protect you and care for you.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: But how do we love himself?
• 31:53
  Speaker 24: If he's an adequate to provide financially, he might.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Have twelve inches. Whoa, he may have, that's what you need. Second,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the man might have twelve inches man, the man nobody
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: want that wants that. Y'all want twelve inches. Y'all want money.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know what y'all of the story. We know
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: what you want.
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: The story is just simple for me. Don't look for
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: nothing in anybody you don't have in yourself. And everybody
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: got to stop looking at finances. That's the reason to
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: be with somebody. So at the end of the day,
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: finances ain't gonna keep you all together. Love is gonna
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: keep you all together, you know, because you gotta grow
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: old with this person. You gotta actually like this person.
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying. If y'all don't have that,
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: I don't know what to tell you.
• 32:39
  Speaker 21: He also needs a four oh one k Jesus.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: All right, well, sure, nice person, right, you know what
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I'm saying.
• 32:46
  Speaker 21: There's plenty of rich men that will treat y'all terribly.
• 32:49
  Speaker 21: How we're gonna grow old together? If you can't afford
• 32:51
  Speaker 21: to grow old together?
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Damn making what I'm talking about right now? I just know.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Tell me why rich man would want to broke woman?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Nobody can ever rich?
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: Okay, Why would a financially stable person want a woman
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: who's not financially stable? Why would a financially stable man
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: want a woman who's not financially stable?
• 33:11
  Speaker 24: I can't.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: You know, they like the church, but that's also their
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: ego to that's a girl.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: A lot of times, a lot of guys want to.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: I know a lot of guys that want to be
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: able to make more than the woman for their ego standpoint,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: not necessarily like.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: And I would tell you that's not the type of
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: man y'all should be doing. All right, well, I will
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: tell you, I would tell you run from that type
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: of guy. It's the breakfast leg of morning.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: The breakfast club.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Everybody, Charlamagne's god, we are the breakfast club. We have
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Laura La Rose to hear our special guest host, and
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: we got a special guest with us today.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: We had a topic talking about some statements that she said,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen Williams, don't nobody stir it up, like
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: what's up envy, what's up? Charge more NB.
• 34:00
  Speaker 14: I was going to be very very pissed and disappointed
• 34:02
  Speaker 14: if you weren't stucking in. So why well, because I
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: didn't know if I'd ever be back up here to.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Be candid why it was? It was it was tight
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: last Yeah, but God is good.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I came with my God le on, God Leon.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: We're good. It's really God is good. I would say this.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: You know, every time we have a conversation, we're always
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: not going to agree, but you're always invited up here regardless.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're not gonna agree on everything, but the
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: best thing about it is just having a conversation. So
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: never think that you can't come up here for something.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: You say, No, that's what these conversations and these platforms
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: are about.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I'm half playing, but it's a good point and it's
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: it's worth saying out loud.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate that, and I love you, sister. I don't.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to think I don't love you.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I love you for real, like I appreciate everything that
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you do.
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: And it's just like anything else. You go hardest in
• 34:45
  Speaker 14: the pain with your family, So in the paint and
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: in the paint that's on your face.
• 34:49
  Speaker 20: And shut up.
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: I'm happy here.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: I would love to have a conversation with you about
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: the video.
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: Now, what's the topic of conversation. I feel like this
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: is a conversation that men shouldn't even be involved in.
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: What is the gist of the conversation.
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: It's not for you, Charlamagne. So I'm glad that you
• 35:03
  Speaker 14: said that this is a conversation for ladies. And I
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: texted my good friend Charlemagne. I said, it's a friend
• 35:09
  Speaker 14: of the show. I heard the conversation yesterday. I appreciated
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: the critique and the constructive nature of it, and I said,
• 35:15
  Speaker 14: you know, since I'm down the street on the train,
• 35:17
  Speaker 14: let me pull up and I want to hear from you,
• 35:20
  Speaker 14: Lauren about what you agree with and what you disagree
• 35:23
  Speaker 14: with and have a lady's conversation.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: About let's do it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So I think for me, I'll start with the
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: what I disagree with.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Let's go come first for people that don't know you
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: want to you want to play the clip of of
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: what went viral.
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: So people understand that clip to bring everybody up this red.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: You got the clip, Let's play the clip, right. The
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: reality is.
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: That our marriage and partnership market value is depreciating with
• 35:46
  Speaker 14: every passing year. No matter how good we look, no
• 35:49
  Speaker 14: matter how fit we are, men are still seeing primarily
• 35:53
  Speaker 14: our presumed dwindling fertility.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: As a knock against us. So here's my advice.
• 35:59
  Speaker 14: If you are a young Black woman in college and
• 36:02
  Speaker 14: you know in your heart and in your head that
• 36:05
  Speaker 14: you want to prioritize family, I suggest that you simultaneously
• 36:09
  Speaker 14: pursue that mrs degree right along with that BA or JD.
• 36:13
  Speaker 14: Because a handful of black college age men that actually
• 36:15
  Speaker 14: do desire to get married soon, and they do share
• 36:18
  Speaker 14: that value system and family is a priority for them too.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Y'all.
• 36:22
  Speaker 14: That is an incredibly small pool, and it's shrinking as
• 36:25
  Speaker 14: you get older, and by the time you reach my
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: age forty, you will be faced with different choices relating
• 36:32
  Speaker 14: to life, partnership, and motherhood.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: So I think, all right, So breaking it down into
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: what I agree and what I disagree with. So the
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: disagreeing for me came with the starting with the infertility
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: and the the market value they're appreciating. So with the infertility,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: I know, I said this yesterday. Some stuff is science, right,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: you can't get around that. But I feel like when
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: you start with that and you lead with that, it
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: then makes people get defensive and they don't even hear
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: the rest of it. I know, when I first listened
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: to it, I was like, oh God, this is going
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: to be another one of those conversations where like someone's
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: telling me, as a woman, by the time you get
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: this age, your life is over. And you know when
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: you're when you're like trying to figure things out and
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: you're like, I'm thirty one years old, right, Like I'm
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: recently out of a very long relationship.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: You want to feel not.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Charlamade Jesus, but I feel there's life after go ahead.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: But that's my point.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: It's like for me, I made a very conscious decision
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: with a lot of things in my life going to college,
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: being in the relationship that I was in, not being
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: in that relationship. Even with my like recent you know,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: back and forth to East coast, West coast, like I've
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: always had to be very conscious and cognizant of the
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: fact that, like you know, as a woman, as a
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: black woman, right, especially working in the space that I
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: work in, I might not get that that other chance,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Like I gotta do it right the first time. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: I think talking about professionally, professionally and personally, okay, and
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: only because that's.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: What are your personal goals? Just so we're clear. Do
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you want marriage?
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: I want marriage?
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: I want you.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, family foundation, I want all of that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: I don't even have a number of kids. Once we start,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: we start just yeah, but yes, I'm going to be
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: an amazing mom. But I just feel like when you
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: lead with the stuff that you lead with, it instantly
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: turns the conversation negative, and for someone like me who
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: is watching and learning and listening to you, it makes
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: it where now I am defensive.
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: I don't want to watch, listen and learn.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: I don't hear the rest of what you're saying, So
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: now I'm not being taught, and I should feel like
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: I can listen to you and learn from you and
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: not feel like you're the op right, And that's how
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: it starts off when you instantly are telling me everything
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: negative about what I already am facing every single day,
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: and I think that that's a big part of it too.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: It's like when you put certain troops in front of people,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: it hurts, people don't want to hear it. But beyond that,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: like you can't get around the infertility. The second thing
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: was the market value, right. I don't agree.
• 38:59
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know where you were at thirty one, But
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: for me, I feel like I'm just now getting to
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: the space where like the people that I'm able to
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: or not even able to, but the people that I'm dating,
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: the life experiences that I'm experiencing that are teaching me
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: what I want, what I don't want. I'm right now
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: in the best space that I've ever been in. And
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: that wasn't me in college. I didn't know what I
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: wanted in college. I didn't know who I was. In college,
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: I seen nothing, haven't done anything. I also, I didn't
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: agree with that.
• 39:24
  Speaker 14: But yeah, asist because you put two big ones out
• 39:27
  Speaker 14: and let's break them down before we get ahead of ourselves. Okay,
• 39:30
  Speaker 14: so you're thirty one years old, a college educated woman
• 39:34
  Speaker 14: enjoying a very successful career in a high profile space.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put my hands together for all of that.
• 39:41
  Speaker 14: Now, when I say market value depreciating, Lauren, did you
• 39:45
  Speaker 14: hear what I said before that? Did you hear the
• 39:47
  Speaker 14: specificity of the particular marketplace I'm speaking about?
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: No, which was that?
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: Okay, So I want to just go back actually to
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: your first point, Laurd, which I think you are conceding
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: that you had a reaction to my commentary that it's
• 40:00
  Speaker 14: so visceral in nature that you actually shut down your
• 40:03
  Speaker 14: listening comprehension skills.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: He said that.
• 40:06
  Speaker 14: So because of that, though, right, I'm not gonna sit
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: in a posture of ownership because you made a choice
• 40:13
  Speaker 14: to be limited in the way in which you received
• 40:16
  Speaker 14: and process the information.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Now, you are grown women, and you have a time in.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Me over what you choose to consume and what you
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: choose to not consume.
• 40:24
  Speaker 14: So, when I was giving the advice the strategy the
• 40:29
  Speaker 14: game putting, you know, certain people up on some game,
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: I'm talking to a very limited pool of young black ladies,
• 40:36
  Speaker 14: the ones that are currently in school or immediately following
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: school or graduate school. And then the other caveat, I'll say,
• 40:43
  Speaker 14: the other place this information is in real time relevant
• 40:47
  Speaker 14: to are the mothers or even the fathers of those
• 40:51
  Speaker 14: young women.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: That's who this is for.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: So you, this is actually not even applicable to you, Lauren,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: So no, no, let.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Me finish, nor I have to finish because no, wait wait,
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: I just want to wait before you finish your thoughts.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: I just want to, like, let's rewind a little bit,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: because I also think to the reason why people also
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: because not just me or the people, because even the
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: people it's meant for, I'm sure some of them did
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: the same exact thing as.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Well as not right and some did not because I
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: did not right, because you read all the comments.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah I did.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: But I think what happens is with you and I
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: saying this in the most respectful way. I think that
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: the way that you approach things like even this conversation
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: right now, it can make it does that it dilutes
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: the whole point of like you for you talking to
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: me specifically, I agree with certain parts of it, but
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: I think that the my whole point of what I'm
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: saying right because right now I feel like you're taking
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: what I didn't agree with and the fact that I
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: don't remember specific words or whatever.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not Lauren.
• 41:50
  Speaker 14: Really, I really think this would be better served and
• 41:52
  Speaker 14: more productive if just like I, it's kind of like
• 41:55
  Speaker 14: an opening statement in a court of law. I gave
• 41:58
  Speaker 14: you a good amount of time to lay out two
• 42:00
  Speaker 14: prongs of disagreement, and I respect and appreciate both of
• 42:04
  Speaker 14: your positions. I'm not saying they are wrong, Okay, and
• 42:07
  Speaker 14: be messy. I'm not saying they're wrong at all, But
• 42:11
  Speaker 14: I am saying that I don't know how productive it
• 42:16
  Speaker 14: is to be the time manner and delivery police.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 42:19
  Speaker 14: So when we talk about and also the nature of
• 42:23
  Speaker 14: this work that we all do in this space of
• 42:25
  Speaker 14: media and journalists, whatever we want to call it, right,
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: it's very subjective in nature. So for everybody Lauren that
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: takes your position, which is very valid, it was visceral
• 42:34
  Speaker 14: to me.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I found it triggering. It felt hurtful. I felt attacked,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I felt policed, I felt hurt it.
• 42:39
  Speaker 14: On whatever it is, there's also a whole nother contingency
• 42:44
  Speaker 14: of black women that felt seen by that commentary that
• 42:47
  Speaker 14: fell heard.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I had sores coming up to me.
• 42:49
  Speaker 14: We had a fundraiser shout out to the pi Kappa
• 42:52
  Speaker 14: Maga chapter of Alphakappa offic already incorporated SKI. We had
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: a fundraiser that very night that that commentary dropped and
• 42:58
  Speaker 14: I had sores coming up to me, who are more
• 43:01
  Speaker 14: in my age group, right, Because that's the first thing
• 43:03
  Speaker 14: we need to acknowledge. Lauren and I are not the
• 43:04
  Speaker 14: same age. There's a good ten years between me and
• 43:07
  Speaker 14: this lovely young lady. So I'm speaking from a purview
• 43:10
  Speaker 14: of experience that looks a bit different, not vastly so,
• 43:14
  Speaker 14: but a bit different. I agree, And my peers who
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: are fortying up are like I wish someone would have
• 43:20
  Speaker 14: told me. And the fact that you are doing the
• 43:23
  Speaker 14: labor ebany, you are doing the service of letting young
• 43:27
  Speaker 14: girls that are currently in position to put themselves in
• 43:31
  Speaker 14: best practices because they are currently in school or graduate
• 43:35
  Speaker 14: school or shortly thereafter matters. And it's good that somebody
• 43:40
  Speaker 14: is rolling up their sleeves and doing the work and
• 43:42
  Speaker 14: having the conversation publicly that quiet as kept many pockets
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: of black elite culture are having with their children generationally
• 43:53
  Speaker 14: every day. Many of my peers long when I went
• 43:55
  Speaker 14: to UNC Chapel Hill, who were black just like me,
• 43:57
  Speaker 14: and you, right, they were taught going into the a
• 44:00
  Speaker 14: front end of freshman year, keep your eyes open, you know,
• 44:03
  Speaker 14: get those grades get that degree, I expect you to
• 44:06
  Speaker 14: go to medical school or law school or PhD. And
• 44:08
  Speaker 14: also if you want the traditional model, and that's a
• 44:12
  Speaker 14: big if. This is going to be the best time
• 44:14
  Speaker 14: to be surrounded by the highest concentration of black men
• 44:19
  Speaker 14: that are also pursuing the educational and fiscal model that
• 44:23
  Speaker 14: you are and you desire.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: And it's really no more or less than that. I
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: don't On the one second, guys.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: On the one second, ladies, we got to take a break,
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: so we'll come back, and we also want to take
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: some calls eight hundred and five five one, And if
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: you're just join us, that's Laurena Roster. She's our special
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: guest host today and Ebony Kay Williams is up here.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And I think a very important when we come back,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: let's talk about what we agree with in this Yeah.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: I want to coret to that too, because I don't
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: want you to feel like because what yeah, we're doing?
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: Come back, all right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Everybody is DJ NV Charlamagne to God. We are the
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Breakfast Club. On this Friday, we have Laura la Rossa,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: our special guest host, and we have Ebny Kay Williams
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: joining us this morning, and we're taking your calls as well.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Eight hundred and five eight five, one oh five one.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Now we're discussing some comments that ebide K Williams made
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: that went viral yesterday. So now right before we left,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I cut both of you guys off so we can
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: pay some bills and get some musical on. So I know,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: ebidy K Williams, you were talking.
• 45:16
  Speaker 14: I was so I was acknowledging Lauren's right right to
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: consume content that she enjoys and feels comfortable with and
• 45:24
  Speaker 14: also reject that what she does that because her critique
• 45:26
  Speaker 14: at this point, I understand is is a bit about
• 45:28
  Speaker 14: my It's about my delivery as much as the substance
• 45:31
  Speaker 14: of what I'm saying.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: I think that the disagreement again comes in with how
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: you say it, and we don't get that vulnerability right.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: So me sitting here with you right now is like,
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: this is what I want to feel when I see
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: the content. I might not always get that though, and
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: maybe it's not like you said. It wasn't for me,
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: it was for the girls that's still in college, right,
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: But at the same time it's placed on my timeline.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: So I get it, and I feel it, and I
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: stop and I listen either way, but I'm.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Glad you do. Shout out to the team at the grille,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: go ahead, but you agree with you.
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: But I was going to get to that.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: But what I did agree with was the fact, like
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: when you started talking about a pool of men getting smaller,
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: when it comes to those men who men who will
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: be honest about what they want when it comes to
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: the family a woman, they are actually worth the time,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: the energy. It's it's consistent, you're getting the same energy
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: that you're putting out. It does get smaller as you
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: get older. And like now that I'm out here in
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: the dating world, I'm like, oh okay, and.
• 46:18
  Speaker 14: Keep in mind you're only thirty thirty one, so it's
• 46:21
  Speaker 14: like as you get to forty, the pole the pool
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: has shrunk further, fifty even more so.
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: And I've dated, I'm having a million from fifty, I'm
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: having a menack.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm not even I got.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I actually believe in the power of the tongue. So
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I believe.
• 46:38
  Speaker 14: So you speak, so you you have and you will desire.
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: I do want to speak to the fertility park because
• 46:42
  Speaker 14: it's very important. It is as I sit here with
• 46:45
  Speaker 14: y'all today, you know I'm literally onso fertility drugs. I
• 46:48
  Speaker 14: am preparing for my embryo transfer in the next few weeks. Now,
• 46:52
  Speaker 14: I am forty years old. Just turned forty a couple
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: of weeks ago. Y'all know I've been very transparent about
• 46:56
  Speaker 14: my motherhood journey. I'm doing it solo by choice. Our
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: froze eggs at thirty four years old.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to be a mom. I'm scared as hell.
• 47:05
  Speaker 14: I know it's going to be the hardest thing I've
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: ever done in my life, and yet I cannot wait
• 47:08
  Speaker 14: to enter this mother era of my life. And Also, Lauren,
• 47:12
  Speaker 14: I don't think this is how most black women want.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: To do it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: I don't why solo by choice? Well, several reasons.
• 47:18
  Speaker 14: Number one, I'm no longer willing to wait to activate
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: my pursuit of motherhood. I'm no longer willing to wait.
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: I've been married and divorced in my late twenties. I
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: had also a long term relationship many years ago. I
• 47:31
  Speaker 14: ended up engagement during the pandemic. I'm ready for my baby.
• 47:35
  Speaker 14: I am ready to pour into someone other than me. Finally,
• 47:38
  Speaker 14: it took me very long time to get here. But
• 47:40
  Speaker 14: when she ready, she ready.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 47:43
  Speaker 14: Now, I don't think that most women, most black women,
• 47:47
  Speaker 14: desire doing this journey alone.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: It's very important. And I know that you mentioned yesterday
• 47:54
  Speaker 14: the egg freezing, so let's talk about that because I
• 47:56
  Speaker 14: think that that is marketed, not just you, Lauren, I
• 47:59
  Speaker 14: think in general, that is in a lot of these comments. Right, well, girl,
• 48:02
  Speaker 14: just freeze your eggs and don't worry about the rest.
• 48:04
  Speaker 14: That's some bulls, because I'm here to tell you because
• 48:07
  Speaker 14: I'm living it.
• 48:07
  Speaker 25: Right.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I froze eggs at thirty four.
• 48:09
  Speaker 14: I never thought in a million years I would need
• 48:11
  Speaker 14: to use them, right because why, I was at a loving,
• 48:14
  Speaker 14: committed relationship. These were my spare Have you frozen eggs
• 48:19
  Speaker 14: at this point, dude?
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: No, I thought about doing it last year. I thought
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: about starting the process.
• 48:22
  Speaker 14: Okay, So let me just and this is not investigative,
• 48:25
  Speaker 14: this is I'm just trying to see something here. Do
• 48:27
  Speaker 14: you know how many eggs on average a woman should
• 48:31
  Speaker 14: have on ice on reserve frozen for a probability of
• 48:35
  Speaker 14: one live birth.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: No, I don't about twenty.
• 48:39
  Speaker 14: Then if I say, okay, how many egg retrievals are
• 48:42
  Speaker 14: required to get about twenty eggs and a woman that's
• 48:45
  Speaker 14: say thirty five and up, the answer is.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: At least two. What's the cost average of an egg retrieval?
• 48:51
  Speaker 14: Amy probably knows this, but he knows it's between twelve
• 48:54
  Speaker 14: and fifteen thousand dollars per retrieval cycle.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Most assurances don't cover.
• 49:00
  Speaker 14: Most insurances do not cover unless you're working at Google
• 49:02
  Speaker 14: or Amazon. And by the way, you probably need to
• 49:04
  Speaker 14: be married for them to cover it. Otherwise they consider
• 49:07
  Speaker 14: it elective. They don't recognize it as infertility in the
• 49:10
  Speaker 14: way that married couples that struggle to conceive half. So
• 49:13
  Speaker 14: what I'm saying is the egg freezing route, the single
• 49:16
  Speaker 14: motherhood by Choice route, the IVF route are amazing technological tools, Lauren,
• 49:21
  Speaker 14: but they are wealthy women tools.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Period. Let's be very clear. It's just more to it
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: than just freezing it.
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: I get you, I think with that part.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: For me, I was speaking from my own personal experience,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: and I think that like hearing you respond to it,
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: I can understand your response to what I said, but
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: I think maybe I should have been a little bit
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: more clear because.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: For me, at that still freezing though you have the money.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: At that time when I was thinking about doing it,
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: it was because the insurance that I was getting through
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: my employer supported that to a certain extent where anything like, yes,
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: it is expensive, but I would have been able to
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: figure it out, so I would.
• 49:53
  Speaker 14: Think you should still do it. I want that to
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: I don't want that missed here. I'm still encouraging you
• 49:57
  Speaker 14: to do I.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: Will say, I got a little bit, I got like
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: garret out of it, a little bit only be cares
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: out of God, don't do that. But but more so
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: because of what like MV shared with me, what you
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: talked about, like going through all.
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: Of that and then it I'll go with you to
• 50:10
  Speaker 8: not work right, I'll go with you.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: We can talk about I'm.
• 50:12
  Speaker 14: Very serious, I really so. So I'm saying two things here,
• 50:15
  Speaker 14: and this is important in this conversation, y'all. People have
• 50:17
  Speaker 14: got I encourage people, I'll say, to hold space for
• 50:20
  Speaker 14: more than one thing at one time.
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: Now, I feel like whatever you just said now is
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: very important. All Ebony is saying is this is an
• 50:25
  Speaker 10: ideal and you don't want it.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: It's not. It's not you don't want folks to have
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: to necessarily go through this for me.
• 50:31
  Speaker 14: Let me just reiterate that, because that's very important because
• 50:33
  Speaker 14: this is this is these these stakes are very high, Lauren.
• 50:35
  Speaker 14: I'm fifty thousand dollars into IVF Journey by myself, so
• 50:40
  Speaker 14: I don't have a husband splitting that with me, which
• 50:42
  Speaker 14: I which there's reasons why that's preferable for me.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: But I really need people to hear that.
• 50:46
  Speaker 14: And I'm taking shots and I'm giving them to myself,
• 50:48
  Speaker 14: and I'm doing all this to bring life into this world.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: And I don't take it lightly because it's a very
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: serious thing.
• 50:54
  Speaker 14: So I think when we were very cavalier, not not
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: just you, right, but in general with O just IVF
• 50:59
  Speaker 14: for oh, just marry outside the race obviously been there,
• 51:03
  Speaker 14: done that too.
• 51:04

• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Hold on, guys, Hold guys. We got to take some calls.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: We got to take some calls. We got to take

  Speaker 1: if you listen. Okay, let's go. We gotta take some
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: calls when we come back. And I just want to
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: say this. I just want to say this.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Most people don't know what what Ebany's going through right
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: now with the with the viture the fertility. No, because
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: because most people haven't been through it, and the fact.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: That the people that listen to the whole the court,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: they every day.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: But the fact that she has to do it by herself,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: it's a lot.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Like she has to put them shots in her stomach
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: and and and all that by herself, thank you. Most
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: people don't know it, Like I can't even imagine if
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: my wife had to do it by herself, or a
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: woman having to do it by herself and goes through
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: those doctors appointments.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: So it is a lot room by yourself.
• 51:56
  Speaker 23: It's a lot.
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: I can't imagine that.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Transform who talks will take some calls when we come back.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: I got to talk about this stuff that we agreed
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: with too, because a lot of people agree with somethings
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: that you said.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: The callers probably get to some of it, but but.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: You cain't got all that much time.
• 52:07
  Speaker 14: Guys.

  Speaker 1: Eight hundred five five one five one, let's go. It's breakfast.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Let morning, everybody.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: It's dj n B charlamagneaud We are the Breakfast Club.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Our special guest host Laura La Rosa is here and
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: Ebony K. Williams is still here. We're having a growing
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: up discussion this morning, and we're opening up the phone line.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: The're gonna let h you guys out there get a
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: chance to chop it up with Ebony K.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Williams.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: All right, eight hundred five a five one oh five
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: to one, and we just want to say, it's a
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: respectful conversation.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: So as soon as the disrespect happens, we're banging on
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: that right much. Right now. Okay, let rovigate has happened.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: We're on to something else. Now you stop at Charlemagne. Hello,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: who's this? Hey Alicia? Good morning?
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: Hey, how are you good?
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Good? Good? Ebony K. Williams to say, hey, you gotta
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: you got a question comment?
• 52:49
  Speaker 11: Oh well, I just kind of wanted to agree with her.
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: First of all, she stated that if this is what
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: you want, and you're like, this is what I suggest,
• 52:56
  Speaker 11: So she was not pushing.
• 52:57
  Speaker 18: That on anyone.
• 52:59
  Speaker 11: But if we're there on it, that's when our counterparts
• 53:01
  Speaker 11: teach their girls so go to college and find a husband.
• 53:03
  Speaker 11: The education is almost sicking thear to especially white thither
• 53:06
  Speaker 11: women's So I don't see a problem with this.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sister, That absolutely is true.
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: So you know I went to UNC Chapel Hill, a
• 53:13
  Speaker 14: very predominantly white institution in the South, as the good
• 53:17
  Speaker 14: sister just mentioned, and that ring before Spring is serious
• 53:21
  Speaker 14: for them what they're looking to do, because our counterparts
• 53:25
  Speaker 14: tend to view marriage primarily through a lens of economic stability.
• 53:29
  Speaker 14: Let's be clear, and historically we know that is the
• 53:32
  Speaker 14: nature of marriage, correct, It's a transaction of sorts. And
• 53:36
  Speaker 14: I know, once again, you know, the tears are going
• 53:39
  Speaker 14: to roll when I say that out loud for some
• 53:41
  Speaker 14: because because they they are not willing to really stand
• 53:45
  Speaker 14: in the reality of the tenets of marriage in America today.
• 53:50
  Speaker 14: Mortgage right, So that's that's the reality, and our counterparts
• 53:54
  Speaker 14: do it all the time. The difference is they are
• 53:55
  Speaker 14: not shamed when they do it. I think that when
• 53:58
  Speaker 14: you see black girls and black young women going and
• 54:01
  Speaker 14: making the space for marriage as as much of a
• 54:05
  Speaker 14: priority as education, it flies in the face of a
• 54:07
  Speaker 14: generation that told me and mine.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Go to school, stay focused, don't get pregnant.
• 54:13
  Speaker 14: Boys are a distraction, right, They're gonna throw you off
• 54:16
  Speaker 14: your game. Get your education, get your money, get your house,
• 54:20
  Speaker 14: get your power, figure out who you are stand in
• 54:23
  Speaker 14: it and then go partner and get married and live
• 54:26
  Speaker 14: happily ever after the challenge with that, because that's the
• 54:29
  Speaker 14: model I took. I'm proud to have taken it. I
• 54:32
  Speaker 14: had a little default starting marriage that was not for me,
• 54:34
  Speaker 14: so I divorced him. Not a problem, great guy.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
• 54:38
  Speaker 14: Here's the thing is most black women do want the
• 54:42
  Speaker 14: traditional marital nuclear family model. And when you get to
• 54:46
  Speaker 14: a certain level of income, as black women, a certain
• 54:49
  Speaker 14: level of power. It's a certain level of being able
• 54:52
  Speaker 14: to travel the world on your own dime and be
• 54:54
  Speaker 14: in the sky lounge without some dusty sun swipe. That's okay,
• 54:58
  Speaker 14: the shrinking happens. And also tell you what else you move,
• 55:01
  Speaker 14: differences you move. You think your swag is on a
• 55:04
  Speaker 14: thousand today and it's very high and I love seeing it.
• 55:06
  Speaker 14: Wait till you wait till you're over that million dollar
• 55:09
  Speaker 14: a year mark of income. Wait till it's like, wait
• 55:12
  Speaker 14: till you own your your one point seven million dollar
• 55:15
  Speaker 14: property in your own name and only your name is
• 55:17
  Speaker 14: on the.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Deed based on a true story.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm just saying you.
• 55:22
  Speaker 14: Nobody's gonna be able to tell you unless they're coming
• 55:24
  Speaker 14: all the way correct, period, And that's going to make
• 55:26
  Speaker 14: that pool rather even smaller.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, yeah, yes, who's this Sophia. Hey Sophia, what's
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: your question for Abany King Williams?
• 55:35
  Speaker 26: Not question? Well, I guess a question. I have a
• 55:38
  Speaker 26: few things, like how were you raised? I was saying,
• 55:42
  Speaker 26: I've seen that you were forty I'm forty eight. I'm
• 55:46
  Speaker 26: a black woman raised with black women. We were not
• 55:49
  Speaker 26: raised to go look for a man. We weren't raised
• 55:52
  Speaker 26: to just go look for a ring. Oh my god,
• 55:55
  Speaker 26: I just have to have a man. We were raised
• 55:57
  Speaker 26: to respect ourselves, to love God, and if God saw
• 56:01
  Speaker 26: fit for us to be married, our husband would find us.
• 56:06
  Speaker 26: Like it's like you put your failures on how that
• 56:09
  Speaker 26: You seem like you failed because you didn't get a
• 56:12
  Speaker 26: ring in college, but you putting it off on other women,
• 56:16
  Speaker 26: especially black women. I don't know any other race, But
• 56:19
  Speaker 26: that's not how I was raised.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, let any response? Oh yeah, good morning.
• 56:24
  Speaker 14: It says so listen, I was raised by god fearing,
• 56:27
  Speaker 14: incredible black woman named Gloria who raised me to go
• 56:29
  Speaker 14: to school, go to more school, get the bag, and
• 56:32
  Speaker 14: stand in my truth and power. So that's the first
• 56:34
  Speaker 14: answer to your question. As for failure, I don't have
• 56:37
  Speaker 14: any in the space, Dear, I actually was married. I
• 56:40
  Speaker 14: had a beautiful cushion cut diamond on my finger until
• 56:42
  Speaker 14: I decided to give it back because I no longer
• 56:44
  Speaker 14: wanted to be married. So I don't have failure in
• 56:46
  Speaker 14: the space. The only reason I'm not married is because
• 56:47
  Speaker 14: I divorced my husband. Now, as to putting this on
• 56:50
  Speaker 14: black women, I'm doing no such thing. What I know
• 56:53
  Speaker 14: for fact, because I have sorority sisters, I have good friends.
• 56:56
  Speaker 14: I have a strong global sisterhood of black women who
• 57:00
  Speaker 14: tell me. Some of them tell me that despite their success,
• 57:04
  Speaker 14: despite their careers, and despite their money, they in their
• 57:07
  Speaker 14: car to hearts still desire marriage. It is something that
• 57:12
  Speaker 14: they want. And I think we got to get rid
• 57:15
  Speaker 14: of shaming black women for wanting what they want. For
• 57:17
  Speaker 14: the black women that that is already a desire of
• 57:20
  Speaker 14: their heart to be married in a timely fashion. That's
• 57:23
  Speaker 14: who this advice is for. If you don't want that,
• 57:26
  Speaker 14: I want nothing but what you want for yourself.
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of people take the stance that
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: she took because you literally like a lot of people
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: don't know certain things right, they don't listen.
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: But I also think that say they.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Part one more time. They don't know certain things that
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: they don't listen.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: But another important point is I think a lot of
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: people take you just as a personality and all that
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: you have going on as like you look and speak
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: down on people. And I think with black women's instantly
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: triggering because we've had that happen so much, right, And
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: that's why that happens where she's like, well, how were
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: you raised? Like even the way that she came into
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: that call was like you think that you're better or
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: do you think that you're doing something that other people
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: have not done?
• 58:01
  Speaker 15: Right?
• 58:01
  Speaker 8: And I think that happens a lot with you.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a projection.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm forty right, So none of that's new, Lauren.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Just so you know, like when you walk through.
• 58:08
  Speaker 14: The world carrying yourself the way I do, having my
• 58:11
  Speaker 14: esthetic projections and presumptions about who I am and what
• 58:15
  Speaker 14: my values are come with the territory.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: But that's also why I do the work I do.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I got one hundred episodes of Holding Core.
• 58:20
  Speaker 14: People can watch I'm on every day here locally in
• 58:22

• 58:29
  Speaker 1: And several other things. I got two books out of Ben.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like what you said, Anny, I saw equal justice
• 58:34

  Speaker 10: My name is.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Hey, Tish. What's your question for Abney King Williams.

• 59:10
  Speaker 9: feelings based on my experiences, and I just feel like

  Speaker 10: the Clovis Police Department. It comes a point in time
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 10: in life where we all must remember it takes to you. Okay,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 10: to you, all right, kids, gather around your uncle Sharlah
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 10: would like to tell you about some things that have
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 10: been going on since the nineteen hundred.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. One of those things is the saying it takes
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: to you. Okay, are it takes to you to tango?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 10: That means that a situational argument involves two people and
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 10: they are both therefore responsible for it.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: I repeat, It takes to you to tango means that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: a situational argument involves two people and they are both
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: therefore responsible for it. It takes two.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 10: There's also a classic hip hop record that will make
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 10: anyone with a soul who grew up in the nineteen
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 10: hundreds and eighties lose their mind.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 10: The reason I'm giving you this history lesson to day
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 10: is because in this donkey that I'm delivering, it absolutely
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 10: took to you, all right. See, Keith was arrested ten
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 10: times in one month. I repeat, Keith Chastain was arrested
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 10: ten times in one month. See y'all think I'd be lying,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 10: Let's go to Fox twenty six News for the report.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Place.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 25: Local law enforcement agencies say they are very familiar with
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 25: thirty eight year old Keith Chastain, who has been booked
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 25: in Fresnoe County Jail not once, not twice, but ten
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 25: times in the last thirty one days. Chastain is from
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 25: Fresno and is currently facing eighteen felonies and fifteen misdemeanors
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 25: from his recent arrests. According to Clovis Police Department. His
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 25: charges include stealing six vehicles, a dui, vandalism, fraud, possession
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 25: of controlled substance, and more. Clovis Police Department alone says
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 25: it has arrested Chastain six times in the last month.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 25: Around nine thirty Tuesday morning, Clovis Police received a call
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 25: about a stolen truck that Chastain was suspected of driving.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 25: Police sayan officer found the stolen truck driving in Old
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 25: Town Clovis and followed it until more officers arrived. Officers
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 25: pulled Chastain over in front of Clovis Police Department and
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 25: arrested him without incident. Police say he was the only
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 25: person in the stolen truck and happened to be on
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 25: his way to pick up his personal property from Clovis
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 25: Police Department from the last time he was arrested, he
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 25: was in a stolen vehicle.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Now, as you just.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 10: Heard, Keith chas Dain was arrested ten times by Clovis
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 10: Police six times, okay, six times by Clovers Police, and
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 10: four times by other agencies. He was in a stolen
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 10: vehicle on the way to pick up his items from
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 10: the jail.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 10: Now, if he had gotten locked up by different agencies
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 10: once or twice, I would understand. But if you get
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 10: locked up by the same agency, the Clovise Police Department
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 10: six times, six times, at what point does it become
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 10: the police department's fault as well for constantly letting you out?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: At what point does it become a judge's fault for
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: constantly grant you bail.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 10: He's facing eighteen felonies and fifteen misdemeanors, with charges including
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 10: stealing six vehicles, dui vandelism, fraud, possession of a controlled substance,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 10: and a whole lot more. At some point, maybe after
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 10: arrest number three, possibly after arrest number five, gurely, at
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 10: arrest number six, someone at the Clovis Police Department has
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 10: to say, no need to let this man out because
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 10: he's just gonna come right back.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 10: If the Clovis Police Department had a customer loyalty program
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 10: like Starbucks or Subway or so far, this man Keith
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 10: would get his tenth arrest for free.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, hit the rest of nine times, get your temh
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: for rest for free. Clearly, this man has a boyfriend
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: behind those walls. Either that or he likes the food. Okay.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 10: When someone shows you who they are, believe them. And
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 10: this man Keith has shown us he's a serial criminal. Okay,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 10: so give him what he wants, and what he wants
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 10: is clearly zero bond, ten arrest in thirty one days.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 10: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 10: expecting different results. So yes, Keith is insane because he
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 10: keeps committing crimes in the same crimes and getting locked up,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 10: And the Clovis Police Department is insane because they keep
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 10: locking Keith up for these crimes, the same crimes and
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 10: letting him out. They both are to blame. So please
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 10: give Keith Chastain a heat and give the Clovis Police
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 10: Department a hall together. Because it takes two to give
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 10: them the biggest he ha.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: This man wrote his name in jail. Ya, that's why
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: he said it.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 10: Don't write you name. They don't write your name on
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 10: the walls in jail. You keep coming back to that jail, Jesus.

• 1:05:50
  Speaker 20: pressure come on people with what they can do and

• 1:06:17
  Speaker 20: you know, like that's the kids like to stay busy,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 20: because I don't feel I started yet. To be honest,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 20: I feel like I'm just now starting. Although I've done
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 20: a lot of things. I feel like I'm just now
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 20: starting because I actually know what I'm doing now.

  Speaker 15: Oh, explain that.
• 1:06:31

• 1:06:52
  Speaker 20: I went back to school to you know, the three
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 20: years to know what I'm actually doing instead of just
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 20: doing with people are telling me that I'm doing or
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 20: believing what somebody's telling me I'm doing it, instead of
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 20: really knowing what I'm doing.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 15: It's a big difference.

• 1:08:09
  Speaker 15: I just want I want everyone to tune in to drive.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 17: But we just made it okay, then I want I
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 17: want everyone to just really cherish this time with their family,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 17: Like that's what I want.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 15: I don't really have a lot of physical needs this year.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 15: I have spiritual needs.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 17: I have family needs, and I want people to really
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 17: just just cherish this time with their loved ones right now,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 17: because the state that the world is in right now
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 17: is just.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 15: Really we need that. That's real.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about the show Drive, right that Drive is
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: a call show that comes out. Most people don't know
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: that anytime before I purchase a car, of course, Swizz,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: and then when I get the car, I FaceTime Squizz.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: So if a FaceTime ever comes up, Swizz be in
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: the bed sleeping and he wake up.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: What did you get?
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 20: Now?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: What did you get?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: We're so excited for cars, So let's talk about Drive
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: and what made you want to do the show Drive?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 20: Well, in Terribo, I pay six thousand for it at
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 20: the time, and ever since then I've just been into
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 20: cars and collecting and ended up doing car shows. So
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 20: when this opportunity to community family, father and son, you know,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 20: you don't really get to see father and son bonds
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 20: from from our community, that's positive.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 15: So I thought that that was a plus.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 20: And we wanted to educate people and not just show
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 20: blame cars, not just putting million dollar cars up, but
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 20: really showing the everyday person how they make magic as well,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 20: you know, and which I think is phenomenal.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I like working with each other.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 17: Oh, my little brother, we have so much fun, Like
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 17: it's not even funny, Like we don't really have we
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 17: have perfect synthesis.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 15: We don't. We don't have to work with each other
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 15: very very well.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you know what, you guys went
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: to different markets, so you see in the car culture
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: in New York, you know, the call coach in Houston,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: in California?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 27: What was your favorite car culture and why I love Japan.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 27: Japan is definitely one of my favorite episodes because the architecture,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 27: the culture there, they're like five hundred years ahead of us, right,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 27: so every single every single thing that they do there,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 27: they're so masterful with it. So when we want to
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 27: go see the drifting and we want to actually go
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 27: drift with the Tokyo drifters of the Drift Champion, we
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 27: just saw how crazy like skillful they were for us
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 27: to put our lives in their hands and for them
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 27: to actually, you know, be able to handle that, You
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 27: know they were good.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: When you say five hundred years into the future, Like
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: what do you mean.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 17: Like you know, America is a young confident like Asia
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 17: is five is way older and culturally and.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 10: I'm talking about the technology that's historically Oh no, no,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 10: we're not flying.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 17: But but and in terms of them being masterful every
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 17: single thing they do, whether it's making a drink, cutting designing,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 17: doing anime, comic book sketches, architecture, painting clothes. We go
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 17: there for inspiration. So being over there to go into
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 17: the depth of their culture was like that was definitely
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 17: one of my favorite episodes.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 15: And you'll see why.
• 1:11:14

• 1:12:54
  Speaker 20: I just drove two hours and he never really asked
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 20: me for things like that, so I can tell that
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 20: it was something that he really.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 15: Wanted to do.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 20: So we get in there, get in the car. We
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 20: go five hours to see Scarface, and.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: The whole five I was in a little ass card.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: It wasn't escalate. It's a little call like his arm
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: and their arms were touching.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 20: The whole rock my ass still heard from that drive.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 20: And so we're driving and he's playing old school music,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 20: old school music, and then he stops the music and
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 20: he asked me to record him, which he never does,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 20: and he just like gave me his life story, like.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 15: Like I never heard it before.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 15: And that was our last drive, but it was it
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 15: was epic.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 20: Wow.

• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: Is it time for a DMX documentary, a true DMX.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 20: Movie, It's always time to witness greatness, But I feel
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 20: that it just has to be me personally. I just
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 20: wanted to be shot and directed like to the standard
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 20: of what he gave us. He gave us timeless moments,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 20: he gave us, you know, his his life literally and
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 20: so I feel that, you know, a lot of people
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 20: have been pitching, uh documentaries and movies, but they don't
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 20: you know, it needs to have the right care. And
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 20: I wanted to be the biggest thing.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 15: In the world for him.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 10: Now, did you learn anything about your dad that you
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 10: didn't know? No, after working on this series, taking these
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 10: long road trips.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 17: A thousand percent, I learned that he he doesn't go
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 17: as fast as you think. He would happen to look fast,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 17: very fast cars like he actually is pretty reserved now.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 17: And uh, he just he really picks what he wants
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 17: to do. He picks how fast he wants to go,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 17: He picks if he wants to get in the monster truck,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 17: he picks if he wants to go drifting like he
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 17: has that Uh, that situational discernment.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 15: Now, I feel like that's pretty much discernment. I liked that.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: I was going to ask you, with all the artists
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: that your dad worked with, who did you enjoy listening
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: to and talking to the most?
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 17: I have too, because I haven't really, I haven't sat
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 17: down with the first one. I'm about to tell you,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 17: like on a personal personal note, but Lil Wayne is
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 17: definitely one of my favorite artists ever and not my
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 17: dad has collab with as well.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: Hurrah for real.
• 1:15:26

  Speaker 17: and he he has such a great spirit I can
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 17: feel and I remember that feeling till this day.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 14: Now.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: You know you said for real now that this is
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: your dad's pressure.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: Now, Bust a couple of probably about a month ago,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: said he's doing an album where Pharrell, Timberland and Swiss
• 1:15:48

  Speaker 20: I was kind of conflicted in a way, but yeah, man,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 20: but then I was like, I love nas too.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: I was salute the Swiss beats in his son Nasia,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: and when we come back, we got more with Swiss beats.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: It don't move us to breakfast Lug, good Morning, the
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: breakfast club. So kicking it with Swiss beats in Nacia Charlaman.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 10: You know, everybody always ask about versus man, what's up
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 10: with versus big things?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 15: Big things?
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 20: You know, I'm happy that me and Tim was able
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 20: to take the time to understand our company because when
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 20: we launched it, it was during the pandemic things that
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 20: is happening, Like we never got no rest, you know,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 20: like we was helping everybody else feel better and have
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 20: something to go to other than the negative news and
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 20: energy at that time. But we didn't take time for
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 20: ourself and so things went fast and we owned the
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 20: We own the company one hundred percent, which is super fresh,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 20: and we got some big announcements coming.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I wonder if it's something I mean, I know
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 10: it's something artists still want to do. But you know,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 10: during the pandemic, it was more pure because it was
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 10: just about the music. Now it's so much business and
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 10: red tapesolve.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and naturally when something gets big like that, that happens.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 20: But you know versus and I tell people because I
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 20: had people on the shows, and when you bring up verses,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 20: they're like, oh, I don't want to. And it's not
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 20: a battle show. It's a show where two artists celebrating
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 20: each other with their hits. Now, if you want to
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 20: make it a battle, I'm not going to say, hey,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 20: don't talk tough to this guy. Right you you make
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 20: it a battle, or you can make it a love fest,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 20: you know, like There's been many verses that it has
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 20: been smooth and loving, but with the hip hop is
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 20: just the ego.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 15: You know how it's competitive.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: Bro, you put the locks and Dipset on stage.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, and everybody, I think a
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: lot of people or a dipset was.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 20: Going to take that one away. I know many people
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 20: thought that the dip set was going to and then
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 20: it was Jada. Yeah, you got the right hat on.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: What was the biggest verses for you as far as culture?
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Would that be the biggest?
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 15: Yeah?
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 20: That and Gucci Man and Jez absolutely, yeah, those two
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 20: because that's what verses do it. You know, it took
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 20: two guys that really went to war to the point
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 20: of no return, and Versus gave them an outlet to,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 20: you know, send a different message out there to the
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 20: youth today because they're not who they.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 15: Was fifteen years ago.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 20: But there's no outlets that can let you as a man,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 20: as a you know, stand on how you feel and
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 20: move past from it. And this is why you know,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 20: I couldn't if I stopped Versus today, I would be
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 20: fine because we won already.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 15: Like it did what it needed to do, but it
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 15: needs to.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 20: Do more because versus, the people's streams go up seven
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 20: hundred percent. People sell out guitars. It's so we call
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 20: it the versus effect. And the artists get so much
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 20: from versus. And so all the artists out there who's
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 20: listening to this, please stop trying to charge us more
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 20: than you ever made on your show. You know, show
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 20: us the love that you showed those other outlets that
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 20: you don't get nothing from it, you know. And so
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 20: that was the thing that was like the hardest thing
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 20: was hearing the artists trying to overdo it for no reason.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: I got to ask because there there's been a lot
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: of rumors about some verses that would well hopefully will
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: still get done.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: You just say yes and no.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 15: I don't want to say yes and no.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: Didiot Jermaine dupri Is that gonna happen? He just said
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: he don't want to see you. I know, but I'm
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: asking anyway.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 20: But the reason see, because I'm not scared to answer
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 20: the question. By the way, But what happens is this
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 20: clip right here gets played back to me and it's like, yo,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 20: I didn't really want to confirm that yet, bye blah blah,
• 1:20:55
