  Speaker 3: That I couldn't make it at all.
• 1:58
  Speaker 11: So.

  Speaker 3: I got to go to Charlotte in a couple of weeks.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go next time. My schedule won't be

  Speaker 2: Damn, man.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was looking forward to going.

  Speaker 3: you know what I did most importantly? What? My closet
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: is clean. Drop one of those live bombs for me.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Man, let me tell you something. There is nothing like
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: having a clean, organized closet. I gave away 23 bags
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of clothes to those.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's what's up, yo.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: That's what's up.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just years and years. I'm a hoarder,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: first of all. Okay, so this is years and years
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of just... stuff that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Was just thrown all over the place. And I finally
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: got my closet organized. My closet is so clean. The
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: kids come run through the closet. It feels so good.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Did you give away the slides? What slides?
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: The slides that you wear every day that people don't like.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: No, I got them on right now. Those are here
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: in the studio. The closet is so clean. How many
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Timberlands did you give away? Oh, and I still got those.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Those are the money.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: That's another project. That's a project for another day. That's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a project for another day. That's a project for another day.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I did.
• 3:23
  Speaker 10: When my wife went on, when she went on that
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: girl trip, I cleaned her closet, everything that she didn't wear.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I just donated.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Because she's a hoarder.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Damn.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: She's just a hoarder.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like you should throw away Timbs and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, though. Those are nice shoes just to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: slip on when you walk outside. You know, that or
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: some slides.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: But you got mad pairs.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Slip on some boots to go outside.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Especially in the wintertime.
• 3:41
  Speaker 10: When we did that drive for Houston, right, and we
• 3:44
  Speaker 10: were giving away clothes. It was some storm that happened,
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: and we were just giving away clothes. Charlamagne came with,
• 3:49
  Speaker 10: no lie, at least 10 pairs or maybe 15.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Pairs of Timberlands.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: That's what's up.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I like Timbs. I was like, Jesus Christ. I liked
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: him before I moved to New York. I liked him.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But I just gave away 23 bags of clothes and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: my closet is clean. I feel amazing. There's nothing like it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, like getting rid of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: all that old energy. You know what I'm saying? It's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: just like out with the old and not even in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: with the new. You just make space for new things.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: It feels amazing.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Like a new house sometimes when you clean up.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get the show cracking. And just so you know,
• 4:19

• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you. You talking about you just stopped smoking hookah?

  Speaker 13: Good morning, guys. How y'all doing this morning?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Tamisha Brown from Howard University.
• 6:42
  Speaker 13: That's right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: largest injury law firm. So this morning, we start this
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: hour with President Trump on the campaign trail, facing growing
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: pressure to address the cost of living with control of
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Congress on the line. So Trump, we talked about this
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: a little last week. He's launched that 32-day campaign push
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: ahead of the November 3rd midterm elections. Now, he was
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: in Ohio Saturday telling voters the economy is booming and
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: urging them to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
• 7:10
  Speaker 13: Let's listen to a little bit of that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 14: But it was just announced that under Republican leadership, incomes
• 7:16
  Speaker 14: for hardworking Americans have soared to the highest level ever recorded.
• 7:23
  Speaker 14: African-American poverty, Hispanic-American poverty, and Native American poverty rates are
• 7:31
  Speaker 14: all at their lowest levels ever.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Ever, ever, ever.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It's over, gang. This man is still peeing on your
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: head and telling you that it's raining. Imagine standing in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: front of a group of working class people telling them
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: they're doing good when their pockets say otherwise.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: And I'm so glad you brought that up because, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: just to fact check that the cost of living is
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: not at record lows, but new polling shows the economy
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Trump is describing is not necessarily the economy that voters
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: say that they are feeling. A new CBS poll finds
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: 9 out of 10 voters say They judge it based
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: upon the prices. Seven in 10 say Trump's policies on
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: food and groceries have made the policies.
• 8:12
  Speaker 13: Have made the groceries go up.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: And more voters are saying that he is not focused
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: enough on keeping those costs down.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I saw a poll that said 75 percent of Americans
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: disapprove of Trump's economic management and 65 percent blame his
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: his policies.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yep. The AP poll, I think it was.
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: The AP Newark poll.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 8:34
  Speaker 13: Right on target with that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: And this morning, Trump is making a financial pitch to Americans.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: So more than 20 million seniors on original Medicare are
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: getting a $ 90 payment this month to help with Part
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: B premiums. And that money is hitting your account if
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: you're a senior and you qualify on around October 8th.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Recipients will also get an email or a letter from
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: President Trump highlighting the work he's done on health care.
• 9:00
  Speaker 13: But they're not the only ones getting money.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: The administration is also sending $ 500 Obamacare refunds to nearly
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: 1 million people in 30 states. Now, those checks will
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: come with a letter signed by Trump telling the people
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: that his administration is returning money that belonged to them first.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: and highlighting his record on health care. And there's another
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: check that we talked about before, about that $ 5, 000 check.
• 9:22
  Speaker 13: To every U.S.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: Adult.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Now, critics are saying that the government is trying to
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: buy election, you know, buy your vote with this money.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Here's Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona.
• 9:33
  Speaker 13: Let's listen.
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: So I think people should see this for what it is,
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: especially this $ 5, 000 payment. If Republicans maintain control of the
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: House and the Senate, I mean, this is just a payoff,
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: and he's trying to buy votes.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Imagine being in office almost two years, ruining the economy,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: but then lying to people, telling them that 30 days
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: before an election, they're going to pay you $ 5, 000, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the economy is boom. All these lies when all you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: had to do since you've been in office is.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: The right thing. Right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You had an opportunity to correct all of these things,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and you didn't. You didn't keep none of your promises
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: about the economy. Hey, man, we know a decision to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: make come midterm elections. All right.
• 10:15
  Speaker 13: Absolutely.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: And really quickly before we go, I know we midterm
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: elections today is the last day to register to vote
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: in 11 states. So Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas.

  Speaker 8: Good morning, Envy, Charlamagne, Jess.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 11:30
  Speaker 16: I just wanted to get off my chest. I'm so
• 11:33
  Speaker 16: sad this morning. I got broke over this weekend.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, damn.
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: I don't know how to move forward. I've been with
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: this man for four years, two kids.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Y'all got two kids together?
• 11:45
  Speaker 16: Yeah, we got two kids together.
• 11:47
  Speaker 12: Damn.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, he ain't break up with you. He just need
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: a little breather. That's all. He just needed to go
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: see his side chick.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: No, stop.
• 11:52
  Speaker 17: Wow.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: What the hell? She already doing bad.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no. So what happened? Why'd y'all break up?
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Why'd he break up with you?
• 11:58
  Speaker 16: We didn't walk up for a minute now, but.
• 12:01
  Speaker 11: We was disagreeing over discipline our two-year-old son. Like, I'm
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: in the bathroom dying from.
• 12:07
  Speaker 16: Cramps, and he want to... Our son woke up crying
• 12:11
  Speaker 16: because I got out of bed.
• 12:12
  Speaker 11: And he think it's time to give out whoopings 3
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: o'clock in the morning and I'm dying from cramps.
• 12:17
  Speaker 16: So I'm just telling him to relax. How old is
• 12:20
  Speaker 16: the baby? He's 2.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: He's whipping his kids at 2.
• 12:26
  Speaker 11: He don't never whoop him, but he just put on
• 12:28
  Speaker 11: that stern voice. Saying he can get them to calm down,
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: but it's 3 o'clock.
• 12:32
  Speaker 16: In the morning. He's not going to calm down if
• 12:34
  Speaker 16: you're being stern.
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: You need to be comforting, nurturing.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Can I make a suggestion? First of all, don't say
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the man is whipping kids.
• 12:40
  Speaker 18: Yeah, damn.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. Just say he was yelling at the kids
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: or something. You said whipping.
• 12:44
  Speaker 18: Okay, yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: We from an era where we knew a whipping's word.
• 12:47
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: You right, you right.
• 12:49
  Speaker 16: But, yeah, but it's 3 o'clock in the morning. Why
• 12:50
  Speaker 16: is she trying to be stern to a 2-year-old? If
• 12:52
  Speaker 16: you want him to... If the goal is to.
• 12:54
  Speaker 11: Get him back to sleep, you need to be comforting him.
• 12:56
  Speaker 11: And he feel like I disrespect him or I don't
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: respect his parenting.
• 13:01
  Speaker 16: He don't have no voice when it comes to our kids.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Bro, I.
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: put in 90% when it comes to the kids. You
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: just go to work and take care of the house.
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: So let me handle the kids and you handle whatever else.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: But she was not.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I disagree with that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Did you hear the disrespect?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I do hear the disrespect.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I handle 90% when he goes to work.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: And take care of the house. She said I handle 90%
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: of the kids. I said of the kids.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: She don't understand how kids.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: She says she does 90% of the kids.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Them kids ain't got no place to stay if daddy
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: don't go to work.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: She didn't say she didn't respect that. The problem is she.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: Says she handles 90% of the kids. He said he
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: handles the house and the bills. Now the thing I don't.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Like is 90% of the kids is going to work.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: She is not doing that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: She is not doing that. She says she takes care
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: of the kids. She feeds them. You can't take care
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: of the kids without daddy going to work.
• 14:00
  Speaker 19: Don't doubt that at all.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I work too.
• 14:04
  Speaker 16: I go to work and I help your kids.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, you say you go to work too?
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Yes, I'm at work right now.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Good, good, good.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I'm at work right now.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: She said she handled the kids. Just don't downplay the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: role of the man in the house. She didn't downplay
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the role. She said I handle the kids. He handles
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: everything else.
• 14:19
  Speaker 18: I'm like, she want her just due.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Well, look, check this.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Just get my book.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Get my book.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Because I had.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: I had some advice for you, but just get my book, yo,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: because I feel like you still can't take away how
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: he disciplines the kids. You know, it is three o'clock
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: in the morning.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: He got to get up to go to work.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: You in a bathroom with cramps dying and the two-year-old
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: is getting up because you got out the bed. I mean,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: at some point, the goal has to be to get
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: him to sleep by himself in his own bed.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like he breaking your husband's
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: or your boyfriend's sleep or whatever. You know, you couldn't.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: You was out of commission at the time.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Cramps are crazy.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: So you got to allow him to discipline in ways
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: that he disciplined. You can't say he whooping if he
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: ain't whooping.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Your boy reminded him.
• 14:57
  Speaker 11: Of the bottom of a nightmare.
• 14:58
  Speaker 16: He threatened to whoop him.
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: I just wanted him to relax. I wanted everybody to
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: relax at that moment because I was going through it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: You can't control the house, though.
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: Yelling and screaming at a two-year-old when mom just left
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: the bed.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: It's a two-year-old. I guarantee you she might be exaggerating, though.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: He probably wasn't yelling and screaming. He probably, she just
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: don't like the way he.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Was talking to the baby. I know she was exaggerating.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: He caught up here talking about he was whipping the kid. Yeah, exactly.
• 15:18
  Speaker 11: He wanted to hand out whoopings. My exact words was he.
• 15:24
  Speaker 16: Talked about he wanted to hand out whoopings to a two-year-old.
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: Three o'clock in the morning.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, he talked about it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: All right, cool.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: That may be his way of like, yo, look, get
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: yourself together.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Chill out. Your mother in the bathroom.
• 15:35
  Speaker 13: Relax.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to scare you back.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to scare you back to sleep.
• 15:40
  Speaker 19: But a two-year-old.
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: Okay, so at the end of the day, I'm wrong
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: for not backing him up, basically.
• 15:47
  Speaker 16: I don't think you're wrong.
• 15:48
  Speaker 13: Just compromise.
• 15:48
  Speaker 11: I mean, you know what I mean?
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Just a little bit. I don't think you're wrong. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: think I need to have a conversation. I don't think
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: you're wrong.
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: But a two-year-old, mom just got out the bed. I'm
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: sleeping next to mom. I'm crying because I'm with my mom,
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: but when I'm scared. She might baby the kids, though. Like,
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: she might baby him. You know, a lot of that,
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: this is a common issue between them.
• 16:04
  Speaker 11: I do baby him. That's my only fun.
• 16:05
  Speaker 18: All right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Now, you admit it. That's great.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Accountability. You baby him. He's, you know what I'm saying?
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Like.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: That's mommy. You know, you're the nurturer.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: You over-nurture.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I get it. Dad, that's so, you know, not so much.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: He's the dad.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: So he's like, yo, relax. You don't need to cry
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: 3 o'clock in the morning because your mother got off
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: the bed.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Relax. That's just what that is.
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: Two-year-old?
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, two. Two.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Charlamagne, I love you.
• 16:27
  Speaker 16: And keep your smiles.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Vote them.
• 16:30
  Speaker 18: Keep your slides.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I love you more.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, shut up.
• 16:33
  Speaker 16: Y'all have a good day.
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: I got to go back to work.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: All right, go back to work. Get some light on, man. Yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: don't do that. Nobody should downplay each other's role in
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the house. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I don't
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: think she did, though. Yeah, she did. She did, man.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: No, she said, I take care of the kids and
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: he takes care.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Of the house and the other bills.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: He said, I take care of the kids 90% of
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the time, which could be true. That's not true.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: He take care of his kids, too, Envy. No, she
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: didn't say that he does not take care of the kids.
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: He handles the kids 90%.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Of the time. Don't put a number on it because
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: it's half and half. Because guess what?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: You can't feed these kids without the food that I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: provide by taking my ass to work.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: And she works as well.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: She did say that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Even for my household, he takes care of the kids
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: more than I do.
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: She's the one that feeds them, takes them to the doctor,
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: takes them to school, picks them up.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: She does more of the kids.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: But you're also very involved.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I am very involved.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And because of the work you put in, you're able
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to provide the health care, you're able to provide the food.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: That's a 50-50 partnership, brother. Well, parents can't be there.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Equally at the same time because it wouldn't work.
• 17:26
  Speaker 12: When it comes to.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: The kids, Gia is the one that deals with the kids.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: This is a joint venture, sir. She handles the majority
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: of the kids. She knows the doctor's name.
• 17:33
  Speaker 12: Do you know any doctor's names?
• 17:34
  Speaker 18: Me neither.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: But I know the health care. I know the health insurance.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: This is a joint venture. This is a joint venture,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: but she handles the kids more than I do.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's not a 50-50.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Well, we can agree to disagree.

  Speaker 1: Dropping the foosball for Netflix for making the right goddamn decision.
• 20:40
  Speaker 15: Hello?
• 20:41
  Speaker 20: That was an easy call. They didn't make that. They
• 20:43
  Speaker 20: would have missed that later.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Debbie Allen. That's what's up, y'all.
• 20:46
  Speaker 20: Yes, that new generation of Hillman College students that arrived
• 20:49
  Speaker 20: on campus this season are going to get a chance
• 20:51
  Speaker 20: to come back in Season 2. So congratulations to them.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: It's such an easy show to continue to do.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I was even thinking about that over the weekend when
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I saw the renewal. I'm just like, why did a
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: show like that ever even go away? You could have
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: just been new classes all the time. It's always a
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: new class of students coming in to Hillman.
• 21:09
  Speaker 18: The writing has to really be good, though.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I can't even think why it ended. Like, I can't
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: think of the reason why it ended.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's because it was causing too many black kids
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to want to attend HBCUs and just college in general
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and do something to themselves. So they had to get
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: rid of that and put reality TV on.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Gotcha.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 21:25
  Speaker 20: You know, the outlets say because of creative friction, but
• 21:28
  Speaker 20: we know what that means. Yes, but congratulations to them
• 21:31
  Speaker 20: and that cast. You know, we'll be looking out for
• 21:33
  Speaker 20: season two as well. Now let's get into some more
• 21:35
  Speaker 20: conversation about television and people making it because Chris Rock
• 21:39
  Speaker 20: is back in the director's seat for Misty Green. Now,
• 21:43
  Speaker 20: he's having a bunch of conversations. He sat down with
• 21:45
  Speaker 20: The Times and it was a wide ranging conversation. He
• 21:49
  Speaker 20: got into Bring the Pain and whether or not he
• 21:53
  Speaker 20: believes that Bring the Pain is something he could do today.
• 21:56
  Speaker 20: Let's take a listen to Chris Rock on Bring the
• 21:58
  Speaker 20: Pain today.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: You said, you know, I don't know if I'd be
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: able to make Bring the Pain today.
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: Do you really think that's true?
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Because I look around at comedy and the culture.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I'd be able to make it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: It would be huge.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, you know what?
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: I'll go even further. Bring the Pain would be bigger
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: today because you wouldn't be able to report on it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't be able.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: To say it was great. The New York Times wouldn't
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: be able to say it. It wouldn't be on Netflix.
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: It would be like the Shane Gillis thing, which would
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: actually elevate it. New York Times got a weird thing
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: with comedies. Like, they ignore the nuance. You know, it's like,
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: this is a manosphere conservative thing, or this is a
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: really kind of wokey-woke thing. And all the people in
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: the middle, they kind of ignore. Bring the pain because
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: it would be actually less lauded would be bigger today.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Because it would have some sort of taboo.
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: Appeal to it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: It would have a taboo to it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Don't ask me. I'm not the person to ask because
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I love Bring the Pain. So I think Bring the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Pain can work in any era. I share N-Words versus
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: black people all the time.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: You do. Right now, to this day.
• 23:02
  Speaker 18: Yeah, that is like a Bible up here for you.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:05
  Speaker 20: But I think what he's talking about is the way
• 23:07
  Speaker 20: people received it because according to what I learned in
• 23:09
  Speaker 20: this interview and then when I.
• 23:10
  Speaker 18: Went and looked it up, it won two Emmys in 97.
• 23:13
  Speaker 13: It was like.
• 23:15
  Speaker 20: Praise he's saying it would be big because people would
• 23:18
  Speaker 20: be doing the opposite.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah it would be bad it'd be a lot of backlash.
• 23:21
  Speaker 20: About it and that's why it would be big it
• 23:22
  Speaker 20: wouldn't be like go chris like the way that it
• 23:25
  Speaker 20: was back then it wouldn't be critically acclaimed exactly that's
• 23:28
  Speaker 20: what he means by would it work but i think
• 23:29
  Speaker 20: we would the people would definitely go watch it the
• 23:31
  Speaker 20: numbers would be crazy but.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: And it would cause a lot of conversation it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: Would 100 percent it's kind of like all type of
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: social media clippings and taking things out of context but
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: I like that they did his interview.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: We see that with Dave Chappelle, though, too.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Why do we act like that's not what art is?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Art is subjective. That's why I always remember the rule
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: of ten. Three people are going to like it. Three
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: people are not going to like it. Four people don't
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: even know what the hell is going on. Let people talk.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Just put your stuff out and let people talk.
• 23:55
  Speaker 18: I think for him and his career and where he's at,
• 23:57
  Speaker 18: it's like, does he even feel like going through all that?
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: Like, why?
• 23:59
  Speaker 20: It's like, he doesn't need, he doesn't have to do that.
• 24:01
  Speaker 20: He can tell stories through movies and stuff now.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: All you got to do is turn your phone off.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: But I just think it would move it would move
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: faster like I feel now when comedians.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Do specials it's like You like it for a day
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: or two, maybe a week, and then it's gone.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: And then you want something else.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Something like that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: Back to the old, when the comedians did those specials
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: back then, they still sit with us.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I still remember Martin's special. I still remember all of
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Eddie's specials. I still remember Martin, I mean, Chris Rock.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: I remember all of them.
• 24:26
  Speaker 18: Well, he also, in this interview, because it was very empathetic.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I came here this morning. I was like, I didn't
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: know he was filled with so much empathy.
• 24:33
  Speaker 20: He talks about being a black man and how certain
• 24:35
  Speaker 20: accusations and conversations stick with you. and how he regrets
• 24:39
  Speaker 20: something he did not do for a friend because of this.
• 24:41
  Speaker 20: Let's take a listen to Chris Rock on A Friend
• 24:42
  Speaker 20: Who Went to Jail.
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: When you're black, white people believe every accusation is a conviction.
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: If you go on your phone and punch up Roger Logan, exonerated,
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: a guy named Roger Logan, who I grew up with,
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: he was one of my best friend's brothers, went to
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: jail for 19 years for a murder he didn't commit.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: His brother used to plead with me to.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Pay for a lawyer for Roger, and I never did it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: I always had like a no lawyer thing. Because a
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: lawyer is like.
• 25:14
  Speaker 17: An open-ended thing.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Like, I'll pay your mortgage.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: I'll put whatever. I always stay out of lawyers because
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: it's so open-ended. It still f * * * ed
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: with me. I was like, I had the means to
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: help him, and I didn't. And I don't know if
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: we could have got him out or not, but still.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: So all that to say is, I'm black. Black men
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: get accused of shit they didn't do all the time.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: We let Black men out of jail who go, whoops, whoo,
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: that Black guy just did 30 years, too bad.
• 25:44
  Speaker 20: And they were having a conversation about, like, cancel culture
• 25:47
  Speaker 20: and is that a real thing? And, like, you know, even, like, with, like,
• 25:50
  Speaker 20: Ye and different people that... We see people have empathy
• 25:53
  Speaker 20: for like what was his take on that? Now, Roger Logan,
• 25:56
  Speaker 20: their most recent update on this case from back in 2015, 2016,
• 26:01
  Speaker 20: New York City agreed to pay him three point seven
• 26:03
  Speaker 20: five million dollars after he spent almost 17 years in
• 26:06
  Speaker 20: prison before he was exonerated from a 97 fatal shooting.
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: Now, I read that and also said that the state
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: paid two point nine. Is it two different settlements or
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: is that the same settlement that the numbers were?
• 26:17
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I believe it was two different settlements because he
• 26:19
  Speaker 20: said his lawyer also told the New York Times that
• 26:21
  Speaker 20: he has also settled a case with the state.
• 26:22
  Speaker 18: For $ 2.
• 26:23
  Speaker 20: 9 million as well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: It's interesting.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I saw people very upset at those comments that he made,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and I don't understand why that's pissing people off so bad.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Because it's clipped. It's clipped, but that's also his money.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: Correct.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: And it's his discernment. And he said he regrets it.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Why y'all mad at him? Because of his regret.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Because in the same conversation, he talked about paying people's mortgages.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: He talked about paying people's rent. He talked about paying
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: people's education. He just said for him, he's always stayed
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: away from paying people's lawyers. And he regrets that in
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that situation.
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Why does that piss y'all off?
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Because in the clip, it doesn't... When I watched it,
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: the part where he said he feels bad, that wasn't
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: in the clip.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: So that's why it's a bunch of people.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: upset.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Now, I didn't comment because I know, I see it,
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: especially since working up here. You have to go and
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: watch the whole interview, whole conversation. But I don't like
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: the blogs. Like, they do that to get people going.
• 27:15
  Speaker 20: I was watching that interview and I was like, wow,
• 27:18
  Speaker 20: the amount of empathy that I feel from this conversation.
• 27:21
  Speaker 20: whoa because he also talked about people in his family
• 27:24
  Speaker 20: who have dealt with like you know been on they
• 27:26
  Speaker 20: they've pulled the trigger and went through some things and
• 27:28
  Speaker 20: how it changed his mind about how he thinks about
• 27:31
  Speaker 20: how the world just throws away people especially black men
• 27:33
  Speaker 20: like yeah yeah go watch the full conversation he's.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Saying he regrets it yes that's the funny part like
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: he's saying i regret it like i regret not doing that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah in the clip it didn't have it like that
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: that's that's and that's unfortunate now everybody mad at him
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: and all that and i know we could care less
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: but i'm just saying That's why I don't like when
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: blogs do that.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: They clip up these interviews. They make people look bad,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: and they get the people going.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: And you know you got a bunch of perfect people online.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Y'all get everything right all the time. Y'all made every
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: great decision ever in the history of life.
• 28:01
  Speaker 17: I haven't.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Now, I will say this.
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: What?
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know why he volunteered that information. That's it.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Probably was sitting on him though.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Probably was sitting on his heart. It feels like it
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: is after that. Everybody mad.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Probably was sitting on his heart and he just wanted
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: to get it out. Oh, he probably just wanted to
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: say that for the guy. Yeah, for the guy. Like,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I want to let you know that, you know what,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I should have done that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: Absolutely.
• 28:22
  Speaker 20: Well, that was the latest for the hour, guys. We'll
• 28:24

  Speaker 6: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: largest injury law firm. So we start this hour in
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Georgia with some very sad news. It's where two people
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: are dead and at least 25 others were shot at
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: a massive homecoming weekend block party. More than a thousand
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: people were packed into the streets of Vienna, Georgia. That's
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: about 50 miles south of Macon when gunfire broke out
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: early yesterday morning. Investigators say more than 50 shots were
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: fired when a gunfire came from at least two different directions.
• 30:51
  Speaker 13: They believe there were multiple shooters.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: And while 25 people were shot, investigators believe another 10
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: were injured just trying to get out the way during
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: the chaos. This happened during Dooley County High School homecoming weekend.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: It was not an official school weekend event. And despite
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: more than 1,000 people being there, there were no arrests.
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: Now, the Dooley.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: County Sheriff, he held a press conference yesterday to update
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: us on the victims.
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: Let's listen.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: Thirty-five additional victims were transported to several regional hospitals for treatment.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: Victims ranged from 14 to 51 years old. Conditions of
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: the victims at this time range critical to staple.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: I don't even know why we leave the house, man.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I would much rather stay in the house all day.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: It's crazy, crazy. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations is helping
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: with the case. And at this time, investigators still do
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: not have a motive.
• 31:48
  Speaker 13: So we will continue to watch that story.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: And this morning, we have an update for you on
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: that funeral home mix-up out of Detroit. So the families,
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: you remember the story of two women whose bodies were
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: allegedly switched, are now suing the funeral home. So one
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: of the families showed up for their mother's viewing. They
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: realized the woman in the casket was not their mother.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: And they later learned that their mother, Kimberly Moore, had
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: accidentally been cremated. And another woman had been dressed in
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: her clothes, her wig, and placed in the casket. Now,
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: the attorney representing both families says the funeral home realized
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: that it had made a mistake and tried to cover
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: it up by putting another woman's body in the casket.
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: Let's listen to the lawyer.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: They used Miss Miller as a prop. OK, do you understand?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: They used her as a prop to at least have
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: a body to try to sweep this under the rug.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is as offensive as it gets.
• 32:46
  Speaker 13: That's crazy.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Like, when am I going to know that that's not
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: the mother?
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and so both families, they're now suing, accusing the
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: funeral home of carelessly and recklessly handling their loved ones' bodies.
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: Now, the second family, they only learned their.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Mother, Sandra Miller, was the woman in the casket after
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: seeing the story on the news.
• 33:05
  Speaker 13: They say they called the funeral home.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: They asked if that was their mother involved in this mix-up,
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: and they were told no. So then they reached out
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: to the other family themselves, and that's when they learned that,
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: in fact, it was their mother.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 33:18
  Speaker 13: Her daughter, yeah.
• 33:20
  Speaker 18: After everything she had been through, my mom deserved dignity, identification,
• 33:24
  Speaker 18: protection and respect. She was somebody's daughter.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: She was a sister.
• 33:28
  Speaker 18: She was a wife.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: She was a mother. She was my mom.
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: So and lastly, you know, we talked about the vice president,
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: Joey Hutchinson, Jr. He was found dead inside his home
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: last week, but he is not named in either of
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: these lawsuits. And his family has asked for privacy and
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: officials have not released his cause of death surrounding his
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: his death. So, again, just a very, very crazy stories
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: with lots and lots of twists and turns, guys.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: So I know.
• 34:00
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 34:01

  Speaker 3: Wow. You're doing okay.
• 34:38
  Speaker 12: Man, we all right.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: How you feeling, first and foremost?
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a little tired. I've been running, doing all the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: promo for the book and the whole thing, but it's
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: great that I've gotten a chance to you know, talk
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: about it from my perspective as a scientist and mathematician.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: So it was pretty cool.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: New book, birth of the culture and congratulations to you.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: You're receiving a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: Congratulations.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: You are also receiving a star on a, on a
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: hall of fame. What do you think, man?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's, I mean, it's a, it's a great honor,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you know, and it seems like it's, it's one of
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: those things that people see and they feel, I feel
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: like they're more happy for you than you are.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: You're like, Oh wow.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I was kind of shocked when I heard it and
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: to get it for, you know, the quick mixed theory.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Does that organization kind of watch for those
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: kind of things?
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: All good, though.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: But somebody had to nominate you. Somebody nominates you. And clearly,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, you nominated Grandma after Flash. I mean, that's
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: a no-brainer, right? Absolutely.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. I still was in shock, though.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: It seems like you still are.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, this is pretty cool. But good
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: to see you again.
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: Absolutely.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Always a pleasure. Good to see you.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Hey, are you still in shock? You kind of seem like.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: This is pretty cool or I don't know what.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: It was like, you know, rock and roll hall of fame,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: It was like, Hmm.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Okay. Uh, this is pretty cool. And I, I didn't
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: know what they do. He was going to bring us
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: in there, but they brought us in there. So thank you.
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: What do you think about, uh, hip hop now, a
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: culture that you helped create? What's your thoughts on everything
• 36:11
  Speaker 10: that you've seen from starting what you started from the streets?
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Well, what I would like to see is quite frankly,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: see more diversity, in the subject matters, and even in
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the track.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: What you mean?
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You know, so, like, when it first came out, it
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: became big business. I call it the musical thumbprint. The
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: tracks all had their own sound, and the subject matters,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: like you could tell a Dre sound, or a Teddy
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Riley sound, or a DJ Premier sound. Things are beginning
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: to sound a little bit.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: The same? The same.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see that diversity again. But other than that,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad it got here because if it didn't,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else I'd be doing for sure.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: So on that side, it's all good.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I find it interesting that you named the book Birth
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: of a Culture instead of Birth of Hip Hop.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: What's the difference to you?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's almost the same thing, but the culture
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: kind of includes everything. Birth of fabric, birth of everything
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: we did that, you know, encapsulates Hip-hop is why I
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: said culture. Other than just, you know, the four elements,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: it's bigger than that. That's why I named it that,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: You know, people talk about, like, the birth of hip-hop,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: like everybody got together and decided to create something.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: But they don't realize y'all was competing. Exactly.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: It wasn't no kumbaya by no means. Right, right, right.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: How much of it was actually born out of competition
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and ego?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: I think it was more or less.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: The four of us had our territories, you know, Herc
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: had the West, you know, Bam had Bronx river, you know, uh,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: breakout had the North and I had the East. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: it was, it was a thing where you want to
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: keep your flock coming to you. That's why like the
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: shopping for the records and finding that beat that nobody
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: else ain't got was like paramount, you know, to keep
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: your flock coming here and not going astray, so to speak,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: you know? So that's where the competition was. Other than that,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: we were pretty respectful of each other, you know, uh,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Herc didn't always love me, but I still love him.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: He was always mad at me.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Were y'all sharing information or were y'all hiding it from me?
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: Hiding.
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: Hiding.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Strictly hiding, of course. You know, we would hide the records,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: you know, even to the point where when we went
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: shopping for records, if I found something that was the bomb,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: you know, like when you buy the records, you break
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the street track, they say you bought it. Sometimes you
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: go shopping and you buy two records that have something
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: on it, And this is whack. So what I would
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: used to do is the whack joints. I had like
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: a crate, you know, in my bedroom and I would
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: soak the heat and the whack ones in the bathtub
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: and soak the labels off and switch them. So out
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: of respect, like when a DJ would come visit, you
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: would allow him behind the ropes. You wouldn't have him
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: stay in the crowd.
• 39:13
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Can't see my heat though and i know you ain't
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: gonna ask me but you'll never find what my heat
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: was so.
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: When you look at the records it's not what it
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: is yeah and they go by and they're pissed off
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: at you oh.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: That'd be the dj he understands that So those things
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: was pretty important.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: I was going to ask, you know, do you feel
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: like people don't respect the hip hop culture enough? Meaning
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: knowing the humor, knowing the four founders, the how it
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: started and all that. Do you think it's just a
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: game where people just jump in and just eat off
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: of a sped of knowing who, Grandmaster Flash and the
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: Furious Five and knowing where the elements of hip-hop created.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I think it is critically important the founders or people
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: that were around the founders educate these young people that
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: this thing didn't just fall off a tree and happen.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: This thing took a lot of perseverance and a lot
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: of just studying. Me, I did it from a mathematical
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: and science perspective. We were intelligent people that just was
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: doing something, going outside to play.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Mom would say, go outside, go play. This is what
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: I was doing.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: So people need to know, and the thing is, I
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: wrote this book because chronologically, people should also know where
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: this thing started and why it is that it has
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: a continuity on why it transcended to where we are
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: right now. So when you read the book, you're gonna
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: read the once upon a time, but it's going to
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: connect to where we are right now. And then other
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: than that, I felt it critically important. Like me, I
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: don't think that one person was a creator of this culture.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: There's just no way possible because there's four elements. I
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: did two of the three, Herc did one, Bam did one,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Bam and Breakout did one. So for me, I think
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: it was important for me to say, all right, I'm
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: going to write this book and I'm gonna break precedent
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: on how it's written. Meaning that I'm going to go
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: find me as many people as I can find to
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: contribute their story to this so that people can see
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: where it started and where it ended. Like I got
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: LL Cool J in there. I got DJ Premier in there.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: I got Ice Cube in there. I got Ice T
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: in there. I got Queen Latifah in there. And what
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: I did is I asked each one of these people,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: why did you want to jump in? Like, why did
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: you want to be a part of this, what were
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: you thinking? And talking to Rakim about his writing process.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: What is he thinking? Because he's considered one of the
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: greatest doing this. And I sat down with Q-Tip and
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: how did y'all meet? They met in some of the
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: strangest places. So some of these stories are very, very interesting.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Me and Hank Shockley had a sample yelling conversation. It
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: was absolutely amazing. Scholastic and wonderful. So for me, I
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: had to go out and get other people to make
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: this whole thing complete.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: So you basically feel like hip-hop's history has been told incorrectly.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I think it has to be, gaps have to be
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: filled in. You know, because we can't get... angry, at
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: least me, I can't get angry at anybody that wants
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: to say that they understand the history of hip-hop if
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: they're 30. I can't get mad at them because they
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: weren't born then.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Why are you going to be mad at them? Because
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: they're doing the best they can. So for me, I
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: want to sit down with all the people that really
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: love this and have these podcasts and things and say,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: that part right there, this is what happened here. That
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: part right there, this person did that. This part right
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: here is critically important. That's why I wrote the book
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: the way that I wrote it, so that all these
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: young people could come to me and ask me. I'd
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: rather them come to me and say, well, Flash, what
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: happened right here? As opposed to I hear the interview
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm saying, oh, somebody skipped the floor here. No,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: somebody didn't go into the basement. You know, it's really,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: really important. You can't get mad at these people. And
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: I think it's our responsibility to It's our responsibility to
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: tell these young people what this was like so that
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: when they regurgitate it and they tell it to their fans,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: it's correct.
• 43:33
  Speaker 10: When I look at the MTV Awards this year, the
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: Video Music Awards, and I see them highlight Madonna, right?
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: And Madonna's, what, 68 years old? 70. 70 years old.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: And I see them.
• 43:42
  Speaker 10: Highlight the way that she is. And that's new fans,
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: young fans, old fans. And they just highlight and love
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: her for what she has done for the culture. I
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: always think to myself... Would they allow that for a KRS-One,
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: give them the same love like that? Or like a,
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: you know, or a Run-DMC, LL, or, you know, a
• 44:03
  Speaker 10: Rock Cam.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to answer your question.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: A Grandmaster Flash and Furious 5, yes.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: We got to start doing that with ourselves. Like, I
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: don't mind saying this DJ is incredible or this rapper
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: is this and that. We don't do enough of that
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: amongst ourselves.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Very true, very true.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: If we don't do enough amongst ourselves, how is outsiders
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: going to come in and say, well, this is what
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: it is? Because you can best believe in Madonna's family,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: like all the other stars are bigging her up. And
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: it's just nobody wants to say this person did something
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: really good. I like this.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: He's dope. He's that. So we got to start with ourselves. First.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I agree with you wholeheartedly. That's why I don't have
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: no problem celebrating people.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Absolutely.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: We would clown certain artists back in the day. Because,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: you know, some of the older artists, when they lose
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a step, you know, you make jokes about it. But
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, but let's not forget who they were.
• 44:58
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Let's not forget the foundation
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: that they laid.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: I totally agree. So for me, I sit back and
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: I watch. There's so much controversy in our community of
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: hip hop. as opposed to bigging up.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: People, it's just not enough of that. And you could
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: best believe, Envy, if we do that, then we'll get
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: that Madonna thing you're talking about.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because even like Madonna will play on the pop stations,
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: old or new, it doesn't matter. They just say music
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: is music, right? Right. But, you know, a lot of
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: times we won't do the same. Yeah. But why won't we, though?
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: And he's a DJ. Why won't we?
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: And he's a DJ on the radio. No, not even me.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: I play everybody.
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: I especially played with the people that I grew up on,
• 45:42
  Speaker 10: but the programmers around the country won't play.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Let's say we had the same conversation with Kirk Franklin, right?
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Kirk Franklin just released a record. It's a gospel record.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: But he sampled They Know from Shorty Law, right?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: The record is just an amazing record.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Features, Glorilla. It's just a good record. They said, oh,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: it's a gospel record. We play it every morning here.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: It's a good record. It's a hip-hop sounding record. There's
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: no difference.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: So it's a record that should be able to play
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: everywhere is what you're saying.
• 46:08
  Speaker 12: Absolutely.
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: You know, and the thing about hip-hop, how it was constructed,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: we musically sampled everything. And lyrically, we allowed you to
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: talk about anything. Correct. So why is it, if the
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: formula is being used, why can't this particular composition play
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: over there or play over there or play over there?
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That's why I'm still here. And I
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: thank God that I'm still here, you know, because I
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: want to try to just add my piece into this.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: And hopefully that will strike a note with the people
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: that's coming after me to say, right, we need to
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: fix this. We need to do this. We need to.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Try to do it this way, that way. You know,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: the controversial thing, we don't need to do that. We
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: don't have to fight for that anymore because hip hop
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: is gigantic.
• 46:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: On the come up.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: This was difficult.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: When a culture gets as big as hip hop has gotten,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: who gets to write the history of it?
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: Is it the people who lived it? Is it the journalists?
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Who gets to live it? the way I wrote it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Who gets to write it, I mean. Who gets to
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: write it? I think the way I did it, it's
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: like I took it as far as I could take it,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: then I passed the ball. And then passed it. Somebody
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: passed it to Q-Tip. Somebody passed it to LL. Somebody
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: passed it to Premier. Somebody passed it to Ice-T. All
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: these people are in my book because I said to myself,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: there's no way in hell I'm going to sit here
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: and say that I created all the factors of hip-hop.
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: No.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I did things that helped contribute to it, that helped
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: transcend it here with the things that I did, but
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: it's not just no one person. And I think that's
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: where we kind of screwed it up there by saying
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: one person did all of this. And I was saying
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: for a very long time, we can't do that. It
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be that way. So I don't know whether we,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: do we rewrite it or do we tweak it? Like,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: what do we do?
• 48:16
  Speaker 20: Outside of the one person conversation, what other hip hop
• 48:19
  Speaker 20: history facts does your book kind of debunk or provide
• 48:22
  Speaker 20: more context to that we would talk about differently.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: After we read it?
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Wax paper. Spray starch. Felt.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: You're making a hip hop?
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say something here. My contributions to this culture,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: four bars forward equals six counterclockwise revolutions, which equals to
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: full loop. The DJ is responsible for the backbeat, the
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: instrumental that allowed the rapper to have a beat, speak on.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: The seamless loop allows a producer to go into a
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: studio with a fragment from an existing composition called a sample.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: and take it from the streets to big business. This
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: is my contributions to the culture. It's called the quick
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: mix theory. So for me, I'm only one part of this.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: You know, and I use math and science, counting the
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: bars and the whole thing, but this is just one piece.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: There's other people that added another piece and then another
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: piece and another piece and that causes that and then
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: it goes to the next era and somebody else adds
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: another piece. And it has to be that way. And
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: then we have to show more love for people. All right,
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: you added that piece, big up. That's the way it
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: should be. We got a lot of correction to do.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: You talk about the message, right? One of the greatest
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: records in hip-hop history.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: But I recently saw you say that it marked the
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: end of an era of what you consider like a
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: glorious period of hip hop?
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Like, why did you feel like that?
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't say, well, I felt that, like Grandmaster
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Flash in the first five, one DJ, five rappers. I
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: felt like all five of them should have been on
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: this record. They had this formula called the switchovers, where
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: they can make one DJ, one line sound like one.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: They can go, like they could do that on all
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: the records. And that was our way, Charlemagne. And when
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: that record, when the record company said, we only want
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: one of the five, that was the end of an era.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: That was the end of an era where it was
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: multiple rappers on the stage at the same time. I
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: think that was.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: There should have been more of that because that's how
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: it was back in the 70s and 80s. Everybody was
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: a group. And a lot of today's fans don't see that.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: It's probably singular. Lauren was just saying.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: That the other day. We see less and less groups
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: than we did before.
• 51:21
  Speaker 20: We have the Migos, but before that, who was closest
• 51:24
  Speaker 20: to them in generation that they can be compared to?
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: Because everybody else is like older, larger groups.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Wow. Wow.
• 51:32
  Speaker 18: And I was asking, will we ever see that again
• 51:33
  Speaker 18: as successful as they were?
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you'll definitely see that, but it's just going to
• 51:36
  Speaker 10: be far and few.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, I think you will.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 51:38
  Speaker 10: Because they're going ebbs and flows. You had the Migos,
• 51:41
  Speaker 10: you had OutKast, you had Mobb Deep, but you had UGK.
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: You'll see that again.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think it's magical to see that when they
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: were performing live, to watch them pass the words around.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: It's something to see. Absolutely.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: So what do you want people to get from this book,
• 52:00
  Speaker 10: Grandmaster Flash? What do you want them to understand from
• 52:03
  Speaker 10: this book, from you, The.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Birth of a Culture? If you come from a jazz family,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: mom and dad or your uncle will drill in your
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: head Miles Davis. If you come from a rock group,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: if you come from a rock family, mom and dad
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: will drill in your head Rolling Stones. That's right. If
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: you come from a pop family, Mom and dad were
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: drilling your head, Elvis Presley or whatever.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: Elvis Presley, Madonna.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, whatever. Exactly. I want people to understand that this
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: thing was a slow progression and this thing wasn't oops
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: or by accident. This was seeds planted, grew, and it
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: moved on to the next era. to the next era,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: and to the next era. So I want people to
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: understand that this thing was not just something that was
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: thrown together. This is something that should be taken very
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: seriously from the first group to where we are right now.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: How do you watch something.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: You helped create evolve into versions of itself that you
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: didn't necessarily understand or even like?
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: So how do I say the question again?
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: How do you watch something you helped create?
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I watch it.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: I go, Hmm.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: And I, I say, uh, like a lot of times,
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: you know what I do? Charlemagne every now and then
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: I do vinyl sets or vinyl so that people could
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: understand what it is. And I'm not knocking modern tech technology.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: It actually helped me from stop having to lift crates.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: So it's a wonderful thing, you know, but every now
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: and then, like, um, I play on Twitch every now
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: and then when I'm home and I go on and
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I explain to them that the modern technology of equipment
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: assists you a lot, but we can go back to
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: a time where you had to find the part of
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: the song where it is. So for me, when I
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: see new DJs doing things with new technology, I smile,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: you know, because I can look at the equipment and say,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: I could say to them, that line right there on
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: the vinyl, I call it the Intersector. I did that
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: 50 years ago. I see it on equipment. You know,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: so all this stuff makes me smile because once again,
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: all this stuff, all these things that I did, this
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: could have missed.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Does the technology help people become more creative or does
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: it kill the creativity?
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a little bit of both. I think it's
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: more creative. I had to hire like five or six
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: people with crates when I was booked. Now, I can
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: just put 100,000 songs in a hard drive, you know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: and let's go. So that's the gift. I think the
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: curse is I think sometimes modern technology helps you too much.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Even with this AI thing, you know, I'm just beginning
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: to learn that. This AI thing, I think it's great,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: but I think it should be a hybrid of human
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: and AI. and AI together. Because to me, what makes
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: a great song, like James Brown's songs are not on
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the grid. The horns are a millisecond behind and the
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: bass is, you know, booty might've missed a note or whatever.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: But when you listening to it, You hear the human,
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: you hear the swag in it. When I hear an
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: AI song... Who missed the note?
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: Bootsy Kyle. Bootsy, yeah.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: So when I hear an AI song, it's perfect.
• 55:58
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: I don't... I got you. Nothing's ever perfect. I got
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: what you're saying. I got you.
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: It's too perfect for you.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too perfect to take you there.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: Through the motions.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: It's more like it's right there.
• 56:12
  Speaker 12: It's like.
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: Too polished.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: It's too polished. You know, and I'm not knocking it.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: No, you're right.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just, it is too, too perfect. And
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: if you love the AI artist, let's say he made
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: an album full of those. He's never, he's, he's never
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: coming to the garden.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, how do you tour that?
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: How do you invite people.
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: To see that?
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: She's never, she or he's never going on tour.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: That's real. That's real.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: You know, so for me, AI has its place. I
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: think it's cool. I just think that it needs the
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: human element, I think, is paramount to have.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: I think it is. That's great.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, man, I'm glad that hip-hop has grown to
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: where you can have a.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: Book out called Birth of a Culture. Thank you. A
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

• 57:16
  Speaker 10: Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
• 57:18
  Speaker 10: Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: What you want to know.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: This is with Lauren LaRosa.
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: the black radio.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: That source is trusted.
• 57:28
  Speaker 12: Did you hear that exclusive?
• 57:29
  Speaker 20: Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about
• 57:32
  Speaker 20: everything and everything.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: She be having the latest on things.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: You ask the questions that need to be answered.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: On The Breakfast Club.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: If little brown girls look at you and go, I want.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: To be like you. LL Cool B. Talk to me.
• 57:43
  Speaker 18: All right, y'all.
• 57:44
  Speaker 20: So Da Vinci, actor Da Vinci, we know him famously
• 57:48
  Speaker 20: from BMF. He played Southwest T, Flannery on Starz, 50s BMF.
• 57:53
  Speaker 20: But also he recently appeared in Tyler Perry's Why Did
• 57:55
  Speaker 20: I Get Married Again as Marcus Jr.
• 57:58
  Speaker 18: It was announced recently.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, that was Marcus Jr.
• 58:00
  Speaker 18: Yep, Marcus Jr.
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: Don't play with Da Vinci like that.
• 58:03
  Speaker 20: In July, it was announced that he's going to be
• 58:04
  Speaker 20: a series regular on NBC's Chicago Fire.
• 58:07
  Speaker 9: Nice.
• 58:07
  Speaker 18: Yeah, and then... Shut up to him.
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: Like, he's definitely one of them ones. I like to
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: see him on the screen. He's out here working.
• 58:13
  Speaker 20: Well, he sat down for a conversation with Cam Newton
• 58:16
  Speaker 20: on Funky Friday and they kept it real funky.
• 58:18
  Speaker 18: They got into some things.
• 58:19
  Speaker 20: So let's talk about first the conversation on actors outside
• 58:24
  Speaker 20: of American coming and playing these American roles. Da Vinci
• 58:28
  Speaker 20: and Cam talk about this. Let's take a listen to
• 58:30
  Speaker 20: Da Vinci on Black Americans Being Lazy.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: I had like work ethic.
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: I was determined.
• 58:35
  Speaker 22: Like I started, I could take care of myself like
• 58:37
  Speaker 22: fully at like eight years old. But in America, no
• 58:40
  Speaker 22: shade to you guys, the way the culture have like
• 58:42
  Speaker 22: moved majority of its citizens. It's like, you're just incompetent
• 58:46
  Speaker 22: for a really long time.
• 58:48
  Speaker 21: Do you think that that's a country thing or a
• 58:51
  Speaker 21: personal thing?
• 58:52
  Speaker 22: I think this country promotes that. I don't think it
• 58:54
  Speaker 22: promote like us, like really like being able to think
• 58:57
  Speaker 22: critically and being like hard workers.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: That's why I.
• 59:00
  Speaker 22: Do think some producers probably just like, you know what?
• 59:03
  Speaker 22: We want an overseas actor because they're probably going to
• 59:05
  Speaker 22: be more focused. They're probably going to be less worried
• 59:07
  Speaker 22: about being a celebrity or influencer and probably just locking
• 59:10
  Speaker 22: in on a word.
• 59:11
  Speaker 21: I don't agree with you. What America's premise is, is efficiency.
• 59:16
  Speaker 21: Like if there's an easier way to do something, well,
• 59:19
  Speaker 21: that's what it will be. And as collateral, the nation,
• 59:22
  Speaker 21: the kids suffer because they become incompetent.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Six years old, I was getting off the bus, you know,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: walking down the dirt road, letting myself in the house and,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: you know, waiting there until my grandma came home or
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: my mama got off work.
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: So we were just as efficient.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: We were just as independent or whatever he said at
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: six and eight years old.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: That's what I said. His life wasn't, like, he's not
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: the only one that had to fend for himself. Exactly.
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like, that's not just your life.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, that is a thing, right? People say
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: that people in other countries work harder.
• 59:53
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: That's why they always say, you know, Mexicans work harder.
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: Even in China. Jamaicans work harder.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: Chinese people, everything.
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: And we can say what?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mexican.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: Mad jobs.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: Like, that's a thing that people say. I've been hearing
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: it all my life.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 20: And we can say that Da Vinci is Haitian. He
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 20: grew up, he's been here on Breakfast Club talking about his,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 20: you know, growing up.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 13: In New York.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: They say Caribbean people work harder. They have more jobs.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: How old is he, though?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: How old is Da Vinci? He should be our age.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing about Asians, we were definitely fending
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: for ourselves at age his.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think at my age, so.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 20: According to Google, he's 30 years old. But at my age, yeah,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 20: we were. But when you get a little younger, I mean,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 20: my niece, she's not fending for herself, but she is
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 20: learning through technology and things are a little bit more
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 20: convenient for her.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: And they get into that a bit as well.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, at eight years old, had to take care
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: of the two-year-old.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 19: What?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 18: A hundred percent.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: Had to do everything. Had to do it all.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 20: Well, let's, let's, let's switch gears a bit because they
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 20: also get into, uh, they talk about, you know, racism
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 20: and dating, um, and the conversation around dating outside of
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 20: your race.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 18: Uh, let's take a listen to Da Vinci on racism
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 18: and dating white women.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: Could you date outside your race in public? Yes.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 22: I mean, I'm not with white person. That's what the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 22: world is wondering. But I don't think there's anything wrong
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 22: with that. It's not a color thing at all. I
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 22: do think it's unfortunate that we have so many people
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 22: in the world that can't see past that. I could
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 22: understand the emotions that it conjure up because of what
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 22: people of African descent have gone through under the hands
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 22: of Caucasians. But however, the story is much bigger. Like
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 22: Caucasians have enslaved Caucasians. Black people have enslaved black people.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 22: We're looking at history from a point of view that
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 22: is cutting our legs off from under our feet to
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 22: really be able to move forward and be.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Like smarter and more like a I think just more awareness.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, think of it.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 22: I mean, shout out to the LGBTQ community. They're getting
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 22: married with pastors that is officiating the marriage and they're
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 22: not feeling no type of way about it. I don't
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 22: think black and white people, when they're dating, they should
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 22: be in a closet. But why is that in America
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 22: that we fear that more than that if this nation
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 22: is supposed to be Christian?
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: How did he weave slavery into that? Yeah, I was confused.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: Slavery, gays. He hit a lot at one point.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 11: Damn.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: I'm confused. So what did he say?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 20: So how I understood it was he's saying that, like,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 20: you know, even though that they had their, you know,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 20: at one point in time, you know, people of the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 20: community could not get married. They've moved past that and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 20: they get married and they don't hang on to that.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 20: So we shouldn't, because people date outside their race, when
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 20: you see somebody dating a white or black man dating
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 20: a white woman, We shouldn't hold on to all the things,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 20: the past.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: Back in the day.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 18: We should allow people to love who they love.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: I'm going to need DaVinci to come to the front
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: of the congregation this morning. We're going to have to
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: have a word with DaVinci. This is crazy.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: There's a difference between white indentured servitude and chattel slavery,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: by the way. It's not even remotely the same thing.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'll talk about it during talking.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I think the conversation should have, this part of
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 20: the conversation, she should have had somewhere else because they
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 20: in this First of all, people are reporting he lost
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 20: over 200,000 followers. I haven't verified that, but I do
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 20: know if you go to his page right now, they're
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 20: in the comments calling.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 18: Him Daniel Caesar.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: You remember when Daniel Caesar had the issue with Yes Jewel?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Is it worth him losing followers or is it just
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to teach?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 20: I think it's an opportunity to teach and that's what
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 20: I'm saying. I think that the conversation should have... I mean,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 20: it should have happened somewhere else, but he should further
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 20: it somewhere else because I do think that people will
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 20: learn and pay attention to Da Vinci.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 18: He's one of the faces right now of Black.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: Hollywood right and I wonder if he's open to receiving
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: like education about it you know because he seems very
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: sure about everything he's saying.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 20: He listened and they kind of went back and forth
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 20: I think anybody that wants to be educated and he
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 20: speaks from an educated perspective of what he understands I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 20: don't see why he wouldn't be open to it I.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Don't think it's even about educating him you know I
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: always say I don't like to talk to individuals I
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: like to talk you know about ideas and about issues
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: so this just gives us the opportunity to talk about
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: a larger issue 100%.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 18: Well, that was the latest for the hour. And by
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 18: the way, never mind.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 11: What?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 20: I was just going to say, I hate when black
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 20: men say every time we see them with white women,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 20: we're upset. Not every single black woman is always upset.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 20: And the ones of us that are, that's how we feel.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 12: Let us have that.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 18: Like, y'all be upset about things too.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: Our lashes, our wigs, everything.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: Leave us alone.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Everything.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: Everything.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: It's always a problem.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 8: Honestly, we.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 19: Dr.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 13: Umar agrees with you.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: By the way, salute to Cam Newton. Y'all can say
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: whatever y'all want about Cam.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: I love Cam.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: Cam do good work.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 18: No, I like Funky Friday.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: He gets the thing.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 18: And he's not afraid to give his pushback because they.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Work on back and forth.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: But that was the latest with Lorna.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Rosa for the hour. Charlamagne, donkey of the day, you
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: just told us. Yes, I want Da Vinci.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 21: Mr.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 12: Juice.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: Come to the front of the congregation. His real name
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: is Abraham. Did y'all know that?
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 12: Yes, Abraham D.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Juice. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Donkey of the Day.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: They should be embarrassed by what they already did.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not making these people do these things.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: They called Donkey of the Day and it really caught
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne, who got the Donkey.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Of the Day today?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Well, just hilarious donkey today for Monday, October 5th goes
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: to Abraham.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: The juiced.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: Okay. So I say to all my Haitians that I
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: get that right.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: Juice juiced.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: Okay. Commonly known to y'all as Da Vinci.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: A good morning to the young King Da Vinci. I
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: am sending you positive energy, love, and light. I have
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: not hit a bash you in any way because this
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: conversation is bigger than you. You know, I always strive
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: to not talk about individuals. I like to talk about ideas. issues, institutions.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: And this conversation is an opportunity to teach. Now, Da
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Vinci was on Funky Fridays with my guy, Cam Newton,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: dropping the clues bombs for Cam Newton. OK, doing great
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: work in the media space. OK, love it or hate it.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: He's really good at what he does. But Cam and
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Da Vinci were having a conversation about race. And during
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: that conversation, Da Vinci basically said.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: We need to move on from slavery.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: OK, part of his reasoning was that white people enslaved
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: white people to black people, enslaved black people. So if
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: we keep looking at slavery strictly through the lens of race,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: we're cutting our own legs off.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: Let's listen.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 22: I do think it's unfortunate that we have so many
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 22: people in the world that can't see past that. Like,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 22: with everything that's going on, like, I can understand the
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 22: emotions that it conjure up because of what people of
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 22: African descent have gone through under the hands of Caucasians.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: But however.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 22: The story is much bigger. Like, Caucasians have enslaved Caucasians.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 22: Black people have enslaved black people. We're looking at history
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 22: from a point of view that is cutting our legs
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 22: off from under our feet to really be able to
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 22: move forward and be, like, smarter and more, like, I
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 22: think just more awareness.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Now, listen, I tell you every day I'm not the
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: the strongest Avenger.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: But I understand, OK, the larger point he's trying to make.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: The point, I believe, is you cannot build your whole
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: identity around what somebody did to your ancestors. I can
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: agree with that. But Da Vinci, my brother, Mr.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 12: Juice.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: OK, there is a documentable connection between slavery and present
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: day slavery.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: Black American conditions.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: I don't have time to break it down for you,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: but I will point you in the direction of Dr.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: Joy degree. Okay.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: She developed a term I read about years ago, and
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: the term is post-traumatic slave syndrome. And it's a theory
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: that describes multi-generational psychological and behavioral effects of centuries of
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: chattel slavery, followed by continuing oppression and racism. See, people
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: don't ever discuss that part. And that's where Da Vinci's
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: comments really fall short. When you say white people enslaved
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: white people too, what exactly are we talking about? Because
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: if we're discussing black Americans, then let's discuss America, not
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: what happened globally around the world.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: The slavery black people experienced in, here wasn't simply somebody
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: making somebody else work against their will okay the white
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: indentured servitude i think you're referencing was a contract-based system
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: okay that racial hereditary chattel slavery and chattel slavery the
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: law literally defined enslaved people as property okay the condition
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: was permanent the children inherited that condition through their mothers
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: okay human beings could be bought sold family separated you
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: didn't work off your debt and go home da vinci
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: okay you were property All right.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: And your children could be property, too. That's not my opinion.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: That was American law. All right.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: The Library of Congress has the slave code. So, yes,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: Da Vinci, white people have enslaved white people throughout world history.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Black people have enslaved black people. OK, Africans participated
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: in the slave trade. That is true.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: But none of that changes what happened here in America. OK,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: when you say black people need to move on from slavery. Hey, man,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: black Americans tried. OK, they did move on from slavery.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: The problem is America kept moving the goalposts. They kept
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: moving the finish line.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: All right. Slavery officially ends in 1865.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Almost immediately, sovereign states started passing black codes restricting the
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: rights and movement of newly freed black people. Some black
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: people could be arrested for minor offenses.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: And forced back into labor. Please, Da Vinci, watch Ava
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: DuVernay's 13th.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, that breaks down the 13th Amendment and how it
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: abolished slavery except as a punishment for crime.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: It's really simple.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, yesterday you were property, today somebody tells you you're free,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: tomorrow they create a law that can put you right
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: back to work for somebody else.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 11: How?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Can black people just move on from slavery when they
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: got trick bags to put us right back in it?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: That's not moving on. Then, you know, reconstruction gets dismantled.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Then here comes Jim Crow. Now you got segregation.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: You know, black people getting blocked from voting restrictions on.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Where we could live, where we could go to school,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: where we could sit, what businesses would serve us. Okay,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Da Vinci, for more than a century after the Civil War,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: laws and practices continued denying black Americans full participation in
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: American life.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: These are just facts. That's it.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm just asking a simple question. When exactly were
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: black Americans supposed to just start moving on? All right,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: was it 1865, 1965?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: Pick a date.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, because every time black Americans tried to move forward,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: America had another obstacle waiting. Now, let me try to
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: explain this in simple terms before I land this plane.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, history... doesn't disappear because the law changes.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: If I stop taking money out of your bank account today,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean tomorrow our bank accounts are equal. You
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: still lost the money, okay? You still lost what that
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: money could have bought. You lost what you could have invested.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Your children lost what you could have passed down. That's
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: how history works as well. Consequences have children, too. That's
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: why I don't like when people say that happened a
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: long time ago. That's just not true. There are black
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Americans alive right now who lived under Jim Crow.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: OK, my my aunt and my mother included. All right.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: That's not ancient history. OK, that's your grandmother.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: All right. That's somebody's mother, depending on how old you are.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: There will be somebody sitting at your Thanksgiving table this
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: November who possibly lived through those things. And this is
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: why I think some people misunderstand the black American experience. OK,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: I would never tell a Haitian person, man, move on
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: from what France did to Haiti.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Who am I?
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: Who the hell am I to say that?
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 12: OK.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: And that's what bothers me about these conversations. People look
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: at where black Americans are standing today. without asking how
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: we got here. You cannot judge black people's position in
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: the race without acknowledging how white supremacy spent generations putting
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: hurdles in our lane. Now, I do agree, DaVinci, history
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: cannot become an excuse for where we stay.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: History can can explain where we are, but it cannot
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: become an excuse for where we stay. We have to build.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: We have to heal. We have to own businesses. We
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: have to buy property. We have to educate our children.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: We've got to take care of our bodies. We've got
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: to strengthen our families. We've got to hold ourselves accountable.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: We've got to create institutions and we've got to protect
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: what we build. We've got to pass something down. That's
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: moving forward. But moving forward does not require forgetting. That's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: why Jewish people say never again. OK, that's why we
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: talk about September 11th every year. Nobody says, man, 9-11
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: was 25 years ago. Y'all got to move on.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: We understand that remembering tragedy isn't automatically the same thing
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: as being trapped by tragedy. OK, memory can be instruction.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: That's what history is supposed to be. So Da Vinci,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: good brother, I understand you saying black people need to
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: move forward with your history lesson.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: Needs some history lessons.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: Because white people were enslaved to doesn't answer anything about
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: black American slavery and it doesn't explain what happened after emancipation.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: Black Americans didn't refuse to move on from slavery. We've
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: been moving forward the whole damn time. The fact that
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: we're still here is evidence to that. So don't tell
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: people to forget history in order to move forward. Teach
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: them the proper history so they understand history just how
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: far we've already come. And then I say to us,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: keep going. Please give Da Vinci, Mr. Juice, the biggest hee-haw.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: Why you say his last name like that?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that's how Haitians pronounce it. Mr. Juice.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: Is it Juiced? Haitians, correct me if I'm wrong.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: You asking this Dominican brother over here.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not Dominican. I'm black. No, I'm black. I'm not Dominican.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie though, boy.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 17: What?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: Sometimes when you do think about our history, I'm like,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: how the hell are we still here? God is good.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: God must got a plan for us. Because we're supposed
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: to be gone a long time ago. They've been trying
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: to kill us since we got here. Damn it. Lord
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: have mercy. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Jesus Christ. Now,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: when we come back, Dr. Puma will be joining us. Dr.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: Puma is the founder and president of Soarin' Medical. Yes.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 10: We always talk about the heart scan and also the
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: full body scan to make sure that you're all right.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: You can check for aneurysms, uh, Things like cancer, tumors,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 10: blocked arteries, all that. And we're going to talk to
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 10: him next.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Don't move.
• 1:13:56

• 1:14:21
  Speaker 10: Puma is, tell them about your practice and what your
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 10: intention is for your practice, and then we can go
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 10: more in-depth about.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: Some of the things that you do.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 19: Well, first thing I want to say is you're very
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 19: kind to me that I'm saving lives, but I want
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 19: to tell you, you all, Charlemagne, all your advocacy, DJ Envy, Lauren,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 19: you're saving lives. In part because you talk about me.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 19: I can tell you every single week. There is somebody
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 19: that's going to be having dinner at Thanksgiving with their family,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 19: a mom, a dad, an uncle, a granddad because of
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 19: the work that you do.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 12: So I appreciate that.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 19: Uh, I've been an interventional cardiologist now for 40 years,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 19: graduated medical school. I can't believe it in 1985. And, uh, uh,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 19: you know, in this last part of my career, I've, uh,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 19: gone independent and, uh, We've just taken all the best technology,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 19: trying to keep humanity in health care. And all I'm
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 19: trying to do is advocate for the communities I grew
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 19: up in and all the people, as you know, that
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 19: I think we all have kind of similar backgrounds and
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 19: try and educate them and inspire them to seek care.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: Get health care. This might be a dumb question, right?
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: But does heart health get worse around the holidays?
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 19: So there are definitely times. Actually, heart health gets worse
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 19: at about four in the morning. Most heart attacks happen
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 19: in the morning. There's a circadian rhythm. And then around
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 19: the holidays, for a variety of reasons, one, because of stress,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 19: and second, because depression is higher around the holidays. And there's–
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 19: one of the reasons we're such a fan of what
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 19: you do, Charlemagne, and the mental wealth, and I think
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 19: this is our fourth year supporting it.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you very much.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 19: Is because mental health is connected– To heart disease. You know,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 19: one in five people that have heart attacks have significant depression.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 12: And if you have depression, you have worse outcomes.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 19: Higher incidence of death, congestive heart failure, or other complications.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 19: One in five people after open heart surgery develop significant depression.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 19: Kind of like postpartum depression, which everyone knows about. But
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 19: the same thing with heart disease.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 10: I wanted to talk about the... some of the procedures
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 10: that you have, right? You do a full body scan,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 10: but you also do a heart scan. Explain what those
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 10: procedures are and why people should definitely look into doing
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 10: those procedures, especially for themselves or their family or their parents.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 19: Yeah, so technology, as you know, has progressed so fast,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 19: faster than we could keep up, right? And all we
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 19: ever hear about is AI, AI, AI, right? Well, the
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 19: one place where AI has knocked it out of the
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 19: park is in heart imaging, right? So if you combine
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 19: a high-quality heart scan with AI imaging, we can now
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 19: do an angiogram of the arteries in your heart without
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 19: having to bring you into hospital and without having to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 19: do an invasive procedure. We can get an assessment if
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 19: there's any blockages of the flow, whether or not it
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 19: needs a stent or bypass surgery.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 12: And we can get even beyond that.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 19: An assessment of the plaque in the in the arteries.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 19: It's kind of like we're taking a car, driving it
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 19: inside the artery, right? So we can see if there's
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 19: calcified hardened plaque, right? In the old days, our parents
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 19: used to call it hardening of the arteries, right? And
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 19: it's from calcification. If there's soft plaque, or even if
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 19: there's plaque that's putting you at risk immediately for a
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 19: heart attack.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 12: And so with that three-minute scan, right?
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 19: And you all have been there and you've seen it,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 19: we literally can tell people you'd have this scan.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 12: And then the, the, the.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 19: Protocol we use in terms of treating your cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 19: we've proven and published.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 12: Now you reduce the risk of heart attacks. You can
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 12: live longer.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 10: Now, now what's the difference between that and a full
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 10: body scan? Cause you also have the capabilities of doing
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 10: a full body scan as well.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 19: So the one of the, one of the reasons full
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 19: body scans have become very popular, right? You two kinds
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 19: of patients, patients that are either symptomatic, are feeling bad
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 19: for some reason, abdominal pain, or they have dizziness, lightheadedness.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 19: And then a lot of people who have anxiety over
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 19: their healthcare, right? And people are searching on the internet, right?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 12: We know that now.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 19: There's a whole industry now of what's called wellness and longevity.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 19: And today we have technology that can detect aneurysms or aneurysms,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 19: which are thinning of the blood vessels and and if
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 19: aneurysms rupture no matter where they are if they're in
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 19: your brain or in your abdomen people either have a
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 19: stroke or can die from it immediately right can detect
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 19: tumors um so there's a variety of reasons why people
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 19: want a full body scan um My job isn't to
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 19: tell patients I'm smarter than them or I know better
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 19: for them. My job is to take people as they
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 19: come and work with them to help them get the
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 19: things that they need and give them the comfort. And again,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 19: as you know, for mental wealth, most common reason people
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 19: come to a cardiologist, one of the.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 12: Reasons we're so supportive is anxiety.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: Anxiety, yeah.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 19: Anxiety causes chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 12: It can cause all kinds of symptoms.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 19: And so we have the most advanced CT scan in
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 19: the world.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 12: It's the fastest, best images, low, low radiation. It's fast.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 12: We don't we have no private pay stuff. We're not concierge.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 12: We our goal is to educate people.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: And what about for people that don't have health insurance?
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 10: Because people here are talking about it. And I'm sure
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 10: the first thing they're thinking about is what if I
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 10: can't afford it? If I can't afford it, does that
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 10: mean I shouldn't get my heart checked? Does that mean
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 10: I can't get a full scan? So break down somebody
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 10: who wants to get a full heart scan, a full
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 10: body scan, and make sure that them or their family
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 10: members are healthy.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 12: So I've been blessed to be in a breakfast club
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 12: a number of times.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 19: Every time I've come there, I said, we take care
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 19: of everybody. If you come to me or any one
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 19: of my doctors, soaring medical for help, we help you.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 12: And if they don't.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 19: Have insurance, they get exactly, if the Queen of England
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 19: showed up, They're going to get the same care as
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 19: the Queen of England. That I'm not concerned about. They
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 19: just let us know. Info at SoarinMedicalNY.com. What their issues are.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 19: They don't have insurance. We get them set up. It's
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 19: no different. If you or your family comes, everyone gets
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 19: the same treatment.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: You know, I want to tell you something, Dr. Puma.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like with the coronary calcium scans and the
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: CT imaging and the AI-assisted technology now, I feel like
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: we've reached the point where heart attacks should be much
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: more preventable because you can see them coming.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 8: Amen.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 12: They could be preventable.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 19: And I think when you and I first met, you know,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 19: going back, geez, it must be five years now. That
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 19: was the message, you know, I was trying to tell you.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 19: And that's the message I'm trying to get to the community.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 12: And there's so many people.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 19: In our community that either don't have access to or
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 19: it's difficult access to the health system and to their doctors,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 19: that one test, and then you add the blood work
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 19: into it, we can customize and personalize for them. And
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 19: if they just follow directions, we can, and we've proven
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 19: it now, we've published it in research, we can reduce
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 19: the risk of a heart attack. And, you know, long-term,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 19: and I remember us having that initial conversation all those
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 19: years back, right? You know, in terms of families having
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 19: their mom or their dad, you.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 12: Know, in their 40s and 50s.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 19: You know, those are the most important years for your family,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 19: even in terms of... creating legacy for your family, generational
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 19: wealth for your family.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 12: I mean, we have to be healthy.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 19: And all of these things, you know, and Charlamagne, you know,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 19: you sent me an email a few weeks ago.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 12: I don't want to say what it was, but it
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 12: was in the news.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 19: You know, another 48-year-old, a 50-year-old had a heart attack
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 19: in the ICU.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 12: So much of this is preventable.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: Dealing with the insurance companies, right?
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 10: I know we had a conversation one time and you
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 10: were saying that, we were talking and you were saying
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 10: sometimes the insurance company prescribe something that was popular in
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 10: the 80s like a medicine that was good in the
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 10: 80s and it's now 2026 and the only reason that
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 10: somebody would be taking that actual medicine from the 80s
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 10: is because the insurance company wouldn't cover the new one
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 10: do you see that a lot with with.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 19: Every single day they do it today on all different
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 19: kinds of medicines the the uh uh i want to
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 19: be careful i don't say i've become an activist as
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 19: you know in my old age uh It is becoming
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 19: increasingly difficult to take care of patients because what the
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 19: doctor says you need, you have so many layers of
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 19: insurance companies, health systems saying, nah, maybe not. So when
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 19: they do things like that, that's an economic decision. When
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 19: you go to your doctor, those decisions should be healthcare decisions.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 19: What's the best thing for you?
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 19: Your doctor says one thing. And even if it's a,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 19: you know, let's do just a simple cholesterol medicine, right?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 19: So I see a patient yesterday on pravastatin or simvastatin, right?
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 19: And those are the first medicines that were ever invented.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 12: And I was prescribing those in 1990.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: In 2026?
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 19: They wouldn't authorize the Crestor, the Resuvastatin, or wouldn't authorize
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 19: the injectables now that we have. There's one injectable that's
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 19: two shots a year and can drop your cholesterol and LDL.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 19: By 45, 50 percent proven to reduce the risk of
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 19: heart attack or stroke makes you live longer.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 12: The insurance companies won't.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: Pay for it.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 18: Well, why do they?
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: Because so you talk about Robustatin, right?
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: Is that one of them?
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 12: That's a pill.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 20: That's yeah, but that's so common that I know so
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 20: many people that take that. Why do they prescribe it
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 20: if there are all these other like new, more like
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 20: researched methods?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 19: Well, because we always prescribe things in a sequence, right?
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 19: But what I'm saying is that they're even denying rosuvastatin, right?
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 12: Crestor, which is.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 18: Oh, that's a big one too.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 19: That's one of the most common ones. But if you
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 19: can't get people... We don't just put people on a
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 19: medication for cholesterol. It's like blood pressure. We have a goal, right?
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: What's our goal?
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 19: Where do we want to get your total cholesterol or
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 19: your bad cholesterol, LDL at? And what we do is
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 19: we customize that with our heart scan based on your plaque.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 12: So if.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 19: We want to, you know, for let's say DJ Envy,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 19: we want his LDL below 100. He may only need
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 19: 20 milligrams of rosuvastatin. But let's say for Charlemagne, we
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 19: want his LDL below 50 because we see, and I'm
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 19: not saying this is the case. I'm just saying, you know,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 19: hypothetically that there's plaque. We may say he needs 40
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 19: milligrams of rosuvastatin. But then when we monitor his levels,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 19: his LDL may not be there. So then we have
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 19: to escalate. So now we want to go to the injectables. Well,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 19: the injectables are more expensive, but they work better and
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 19: they are right for him. But then it's a fight
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 19: with the insurance company. So that happens all the time.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 19: I mean, that even happens with procedures. I have a
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 19: gentleman who's now in his early 60s, heavily calcified aortic valve,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 19: has had stents in his arteries already, and I had
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 19: him scheduled for Friday for a cath procedure to assess that.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 12: His insurance denies it.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: That's crazy, man.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 12: So we're fighting it with them, and we'll do a
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 12: period of period.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 19: But you go through so many hoops because they're... Listen,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 19: they're corporations.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you, Dr.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Puma, thank you, man, for being a sponsor of the
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: sixth annual Mental Wealth Expo. Like you said, it's like
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: the fourth year in a row that you've sponsored. So
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: when people come to the Mental Wealth Expo... On World
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: Mental Health Day, October 10th at the Joelle and Diane
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: Bloom Wellness and Events Center in Newark, New Jersey. What
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: should they do when they come by your booth? What
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: should they be looking for? What information should they be
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: looking for?
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, first of all, they should come.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 12: And this is great.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 19: You've started a national conversation, not just about mental health.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 12: And what I love about it and the reason we.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 19: Support it is because you've made it, you've taken the
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 19: stigma away from talking about your health.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 12: And kudos to you, Charlemagne.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 19: It's amazing, and we are proud to support, again, this
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 19: year and every year, mental wealth. What we do while
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 19: we're there is I have a bunch of my amazing
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 19: staff and nurses there, some of my doctors there, and
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 19: patients can come talk to us about anything. They get
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 19: a chance, you know, in a low-pressure environment to ask
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 19: us any questions that.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 12: Are on their mind.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 19: That's number one. Number two, we do blood pressure screenings.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 19: Number three, we've started to do vascular tests.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 12: Disease screening.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 19: So we'll check blood pressures in the arms and legs.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 19: And so we want it to be whatever it is,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 19: whatever people want it to be. We want to be
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 19: a resource for the community. It's not about soaring medical. I,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 19: you know, I think you know me well enough now
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 19: to know that's not what it's about. It's about educating
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 19: the community. And what I think mental wealth does, you know,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 19: when so many thousands of people come It's people come
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 19: because there's things on their mind and they don't know.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 12: Where to get the information from.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 19: And it's become this amazing community of doctors and therapists
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 19: and people. But it's so common they have other issues.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 19: And so that's all we're hoping for.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: That it is.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 19: So we're proud to support it. We're looking forward to it.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 19: I think it's in two weekends.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: October 10th. Yep. Two Saturdays from now. October 10th.

  Speaker 3: Top Dog Law.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 18: All right, y'all.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 20: So let's continue some conversations. Y'all remember last week, actually,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 20: we talked about Too Short and the fact that he
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 20: said that he would go to Diddy's party when Diddy
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 20: comes home.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 12: Crazy.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 4: Never heard it.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 18: Well, I have the original conversation.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 20: He sat down with Tawanda over at TMZ and talked
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 20: about going to a Diddy party once Diddy comes home.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 18: Let's take a listen to his original comments.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: Puff, his prison sentence keeps getting moved down, down, down.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: He's going to be out of jail soon.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: Do we think that when he gets out, he's going
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: to be able to have a career?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 17: I'm going to the Puff Daddy coming home party. I'm
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 17: not the kind of judgmental person who feels like anything
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 17: outside of him kicking Cassie on the floor. And just
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 17: in the manner he did that, he had to go
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 17: through a lot of remorse when he saw himself do that.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 17: He probably thought it was swept under the rug and
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 17: he was going to move on with life.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 17: When he changed his name to Love, I feel like
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 17: there was a lot of stuff coming down the pipe
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 17: that he probably knew. And he was like, I got
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 17: to change my ways. It might have been a little
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 17: too late because, you know, he's incarcerated for things that
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 17: most people wouldn't get incarcerated for. You know, I'm not
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 17: that judgmental to go, I'm mad at a friend of
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 17: mine for being super freaky. Of all the years I
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 17: was friends with him, he's never even brought me anywhere
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 17: near anything freaky other than a fun party where nobody
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 17: was getting naked.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: Nobody was having sex. It was just passing the weed
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: and having a good time.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 18: Well, they didn't know.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 4: Well, yep.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 18: But that clip was super viral over the weekend.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 20: And because Tushar got some, he got some phone calls
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 20: from some friends and he came back online to apologize.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to his apology.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 17: I want to thank all the people that called me yesterday,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 17: text me, hit me up about this TMZ Puff Daddy thing.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 17: I was a little insensitive with my words. I said
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 17: that I was, Didn't condone what he did to Cassie,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 17: but I would go to his party if he came home.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: I really didn't know the full extent of the case.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: I did not know.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: There were a lot of women who claimed.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 17: That they had been abused by Puff Daddy and how
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 17: it affected them. I do not condone abuse in any
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 17: kind of way. And I don't support anybody that does it.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 17: I want to say I'm sorry to the people that
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 17: were hurt by the words that I said.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: I have listened.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: I have learned.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: I've read up on it.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 17: I am more informed to my daughter, to my daughter's mother,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 17: to my mother, rest in peace, to my stepmother, to
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 17: my cousins, nieces, aunties, all of them, all the women
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 17: in general. It's not a black thing. This is all
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 17: women across the board. I do not support abuse.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: Abuse or abusers.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 20: I think people will instantly say if you're there and
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 20: you're partying with him and celebrating him coming home they
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 20: would equivalent that to you condoning.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: It well number one did he probably is going to
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: have some type of gathering whether it's a big gathering
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: or a small gathering he's going to have a gathering
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: but if you're willing to extend him grace for the
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: horrific incident we saw with cast right what's the difference,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: even if you add more women onto it.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And then also, it was about the party.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: Too short said, are you sure that he's regrets what
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: he did and he's sorry for it?
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 20: Okay, okay, I know, I thought you meant, I understood
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 20: extending grace the wrong way.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 5: But either way, Just talking about the party, okay?
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: Like, just outside the women.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: He said that he actually went to parties, went to
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 5: Diddy parties, and there wasn't no freaky issue, wasn't nothing.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: It was just, like, we being passed around. Diddy had, like,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: regular parties, too, I'm sure. Like, all parties didn't get
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: like that, because that's what he's speaking to.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 4: And he was just saying he would go to the
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 4: party when... I came home with this one. It's like
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: he got backlash.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, it got backlash. It was in his comments.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 20: Did he comes home and throws a concert and people
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 20: buy tickets and go support the concert? The celebrities that
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 20: are there that choose to be a part of the
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 20: concert or whatever will also probably get the same backlash.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 20: There are people that feel like there should be no
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 20: comeback supported whatsoever because there were victims of a situation
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 20: to some extent.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 11: So.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it is what it is, but that turned around
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 20: real quick. I saw it picking up.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, okay. And that was Tawanda Robinson.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 8: By the way.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: Abuse is abuse. So whether it's one person or multiple, right?
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: So I just feel like, you know, whatever energy he
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: had for the one, he didn't have for all.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 18: And maybe that's what people were calling him and saying, though.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 5: He said he didn't know. He said he read up
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 5: on the case and everything, and that's why he extended that.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 18: But how do you not know?
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 13: That was.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 4: Some people.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: Don't be tapped in like that.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 20: If you know enough to say he is arrested for
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 20: something that people normally aren't arrested for, you don't know
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 20: what got him there?
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 4: He said that Diddy.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 20: Is locked up right now for things that people normally
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 20: aren't arrested for. How do you know that but you don't?
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but it's the prostitution he got arrested for. He
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 10: didn't get arrested for the abuse.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 20: But what I'm saying is, if you're talking about these
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 20: parties where the women were alleging that they had to
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 20: take pills and.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: Do this and do that.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: It had nothing to do with the abuse though. It
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: was more about the prostitution.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 18: But all of that was painted in the story that
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 18: got us to the prostitution.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: He might not have seen that, though. People have lives.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: People are not tapped in all the time.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 18: He said, basically, he seemed to volunteer the information.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 10: Now, he said he's seen the Cassie because that was
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 10: all over the place. And he was arrested for hiring prostitutes.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 10: Across state lines and all that.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't have just volunteered that. If you're going to go,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: just go.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: That's what I can say. If you watch the video
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: with Cassie, I ain't going to bat for Lydia on nothing.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to sit back. Whatever he got going on,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: God bless him. I hope he figures his life out.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: I hope he gets on the right track. That's what
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: I would say.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 18: All right, well, shifting gears a bit, Envy, you might
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 18: like this story. I don't know. Odell Beckham Jr., he's
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 18: saying that the Giants— Odell. Odell Beckham.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 11: That's what I said.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 13: You said Odell.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: You said Odell.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: Odell Beckham Jr.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: You said autocorrect.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 16: Odell Beckham Jr.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: You said Odell.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: Odell.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 12: Oh, my God.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 18: OBJ, the football player, the NFL player, okay?
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 6: Odell.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 20: He says that the Giants basically used him.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: They gave him the run along.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 20: So there was a content creator who posted a video
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 20: talking about how it was disrespectful that the Giants brought
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 20: him on the roster and then let him go. It
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 20: was supposed to be like that full circle moment for him.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 20: And OBJ got in the comments and he says, I'm
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 20: super smart, but I didn't see this one coming, my brother.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 18: They got me. They won on top of the money
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 18: you talking about. I made.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 20: Um, then I came in humbly took vet minutes, then
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 20: earned my spot and didn't say nothing about no money,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 20: which I know I make for everybody. I'm gonna tell
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 20: you this. I'm a grown man and it didn't hurt me,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 20: but it, but it did when they cut me. Like
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 20: that part because I should have known better. And remember
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 20: when they announced the whole he wasn't going to be
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 20: on the roster no more, they made it seem like
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 20: a mutual decision.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 18: This doesn't sound like it was mutual.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think they ever made it seem like a
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: mutual decision.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 20: The guy Jordan Schultz, he reported that it was a
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 20: mutual decision and that it would give OBJ an opportunity
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 20: to catch on with the team in a better situation
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 20: where he could be utilized better. This don't sound like that.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 20: This sounds like he was looking forward to working and
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 20: earning his situation.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 4: It seemed like Odell was looking forward to it. I mean,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: it excited everybody.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, we love Odell.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: We love everybody.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: New York Giants fan, sir.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: Say that.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: But don't get it twisted.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 10: The Giants don't need Odell to sell out the arena.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 10: They sell out the arenas regardless. But it was excitement
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 10: for New York. Just Odell and what he brought to
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 10: the Knicks, the flashiness, the fun, and the pregame and
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 10: all that.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: Like, it did. But, you know, it was sad that
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: he never really got a shot to really play.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: So now he not going no ways. Like, he retired?
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: He was cut.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: Or he went for another team?
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 10: Well, he hasn't said he's retiring yet, but he was cut.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 10: So we'll see what happens. It looked like he still
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 10: had it.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah!
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: Cowboys won yesterday. Number one in the division. You better
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: respect it.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 4: You better respect it.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: Why are you.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: So mean to each other? I didn't know a football
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: team could do that.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 5: There was a lot of things I don't know about football,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 5: but I didn't know you could just cut without even playing,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 5: without even seeing him play.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 18: He played a little bit.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: He played a little bit. He was in practice. Yeah,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: he was cut. Now he was in practice? I mean,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: he practiced every week with the team.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 4: I know, but was he in a game?
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think he had like one or two snaps,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 10: but he didn't get any balls thrown to him, I
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 10: don't think.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: I would have loved to see Odell play, but it's business.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: It is what it is.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 20: Yeah, he said he don't know why they gave him
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 20: the run along.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 18: He could have really been playing this year somewhere and
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 18: make an impact.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: Who's number one in the division, do you know?
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 18: Why would you ask me that?
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: Just say the Giants.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 4: That's why he.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 18: I know it ain't the Cowboys, though. I know they
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 18: definitely know that.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: Definitely the Cowboys. Definitely the bum-ass Cowboys.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 18: All right, because I always hear that they lose.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 3: We're 2-2.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 20: You know, I got a lot of family that are
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 20: Cowboys fans, and they be really excited.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: Y'all have a lot of fame. What's your dad's team?
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 18: Is there a team in Charlotte?
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Panthers.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 18: It's probably them.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: The Panthers, okay.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: Why are you trying to be funny?
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 12: Crazy.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 4: I hope that wouldn't go down the wrong way. And
• 1:37:27

• 1:41:18

  Speaker 1: opportunity to teach, man. And it makes me want to
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: reinforce the fact that education is important. And education isn't
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: always a degree. Sometimes, just pick up a book and read.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: Because the more you read, the more things you will know.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: That's courtesy of Dr.

  Speaker 4: I still be reading Dr. Seuss books to my daughter.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: I know. It takes a while. I was going to say,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: you didn't read one, Jeff.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: Take us out, Envy.
