- 0:31Speaker 4: I feel good. I feel good. I'm just trying to
- 0:33Speaker 4: figure out how the hell y'all are so low on
- 0:36Speaker 4: my headphones. And I didn't do it yesterday.
- 0:39Speaker 5: Remember how she just lied to you, Envy?
- 0:40Speaker 3: Yes, remember, I asked her.
- 0:41Speaker 1: You asked her, too. She was like, yeah, I'm going
- 0:43Speaker 1: to be there, yeah.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Anyway, y'all are too low, and I can't even hear you.
- 0:47Speaker 4: I can't hear you. Anyway, I'm doing good. How are
- 0:49Speaker 4: both of you gentlemen on this Thursday?
- 0:51Speaker 6: We are incredible. I'm doing great. I don't like to
- 0:55Speaker 6: say this is my favorite time of the year. You
- 0:57Speaker 6: know what I'm saying?
- 0:57Speaker 1: But it is, though. Why not?
- 0:58Speaker 6: Because it's the holiday season, and it's getting a little
- 1:01Speaker 6: cooler out.
- 1:03Speaker 5: I love summer. Don't get me wrong. But I love
- 1:06Speaker 5: the autumn and the fall.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the little chill.
- 1:07Speaker 6: I don't know about the winter. Winter's a little too cold.
- 1:10Speaker 6: But the autumn and the fall, going into the holiday season,
- 1:13Speaker 6: love it.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Okay?
- 1:14Speaker 6: It's beginning to look a lot like everything. It's beginning
- 1:16Speaker 6: to look a lot like Halloween. Beginning to look a
- 1:18Speaker 6: lot like Thanksgiving. Then it'll begin to look a lot
- 1:20Speaker 6: like Christmas. Yeah, I like the little chill. But they
- 1:24Speaker 6: said we're expecting a Northeaster on the East Coast.
- 1:26Speaker 5: I don't even know what that means.
- 1:27Speaker 4: Jeez, it's a storm.
- 1:28Speaker 5: I mean, I know it's a storm, but what kind
- 1:30Speaker 5: of storm?
- 1:31Speaker 1: Like winds, rain.
- 1:31Speaker 5: Because they say there's one in California, then they say
- 1:33Speaker 5: there's one over here.
- 1:34Speaker 3: I think there's one in the Carolinas, and the one
- 1:36Speaker 3: in the Carolinas is going to be blowing up the
- 1:37Speaker 3: East Coast.
- 1:38Speaker 5: They got one they talking about in L.A.
- 1:39Speaker 6: Too, and they said that one's supposed to, well, on
- 1:41Speaker 6: the West Coast, they said that one's supposed to last
- 1:43Speaker 6: for a long time.
- 1:44Speaker 5: What the hell does that even mean?
- 1:45Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:46Speaker 4: That means it's supposed to last for a long time. Yeah,
- 1:48Speaker 4: but months?
- 1:49Speaker 1: Yeah, what's a long time? A day or two, we
- 1:51Speaker 1: took a week.
- 1:52Speaker 4: What did you hear about the Nor'easter? When are we
- 1:54Speaker 4: supposed to get that?
- 1:55Speaker 1: This weekend. Damn, bro. Okay. Yep.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Yeah, but anyway, well, happy Thursday. Well, let's get the
- 2:02Speaker 3: show cracking.
- 2:03Speaker 5: Yeah, nothing you can do about it.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Nothing at all.
- 2:05Speaker 5: It's mother nature. What are you supposed to do?
- 2:06Speaker 1: That's right.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Well, Tank will be joining us this morning.
- 2:09Speaker 6: Yes, he's got a new album called Experience that comes
- 2:11Speaker 6: out tomorrow. Plus, he's on the new season of Reasonable Doubt,
- 2:15Speaker 6: which premieres October 6th. And he's on tour with Chris
- 2:18Speaker 6: Brown and Usher, which some people say they wouldn't have done.
- 2:22Speaker 5: And Tank explains why he did it.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 2:24Speaker 3: You know he's not an opening act. He's like one
- 2:26Speaker 3: of the background singers. But he's not even really an
- 2:29Speaker 3: opening act. Yes, he is a background singer, but he
- 2:31Speaker 3: has his own set in the middle of the tour.
- 2:33Speaker 3: It's not like he's opening up the tour when people
- 2:35Speaker 3: are walking in.
- 2:36Speaker 1: No. Yeah, that's what he.
- 2:36Speaker 4: It's fully packed. That's what Charlotte just said. He don't
- 2:39Speaker 4: open up. None of them open up.
- 2:40Speaker 1: No, he don't open up.
- 2:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Yeah, no, but he.
- 2:42Speaker 6: He'll break that down. He explains his reasoning behind wanting
- 2:46Speaker 6: to do that. It makes perfect sense.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Yeah, and he has his own moment. If you've been
- 2:49Speaker 3: to the tour, you see it. He has his own moment.
- 2:51Speaker 3: He comes out with his shirt off. The crowd goes crazy.
- 2:53Speaker 3: He sings his song. So it's really, really dope. But
- 2:55Speaker 3: let's get the show cracking. What are we starting with today?
- 2:57Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:59Speaker 8: Some Tank.
- 2:59Speaker 4: Y'all want to start with some Tank?
- 3:01Speaker 3: No, we're going to play Tank all morning.
- 3:03Speaker 1: What the hell is this? Thames.
- 3:05Speaker 3: It's Thames, right?
- 3:06Speaker 1: Oh, Lord have mercy.
- 3:07Speaker 3: You should have started with Chris Brown.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Come on, Nor'easter. Start the Nor'easter, man. Start the Nor'easter, man.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Start the Nor'easter.
- 3:12Speaker 3: All right, it's the Breakfast Club.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Don't forget, get it off your chest.
- 3:15Speaker 1: 800-585-1051.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Front page news is next.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Okay, so we getting the Nor'easter on the East Coast.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Yes.
- 3:21Speaker 5: West Coast is getting El Nino. There, you had it wrong.
- 3:24Speaker 5: It's El Nino.
- 3:24Speaker 1: So what is El Nino?
- 3:26Speaker 5: I don't know. It's really bad weather.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Sounds like some really good drugs to me.
- 3:30Speaker 6: Yeah, Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for Cali, uh,
- 3:34Speaker 6: Ahead of the Super El Nino storm season.
- 3:37Speaker 3: And we getting to Nor'easter. Be safe out there this weekend.
- 3:39Speaker 3: If you're flying, check your flights because I'm sure they're
- 3:41Speaker 3: going to be canceled out of them. But good morning, everybody.
- 3:43Speaker 3: We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
- 3:45Speaker 3: page news.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Sort of a Thursday night football.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Oh, the Falcons will take on the Packers at 8-15.
- 3:52Speaker 3: That's on Amazon Prime Video. Now, we reported yesterday that
- 3:56Speaker 3: Jackson Dart, quarterback for the Giants, will be missing a
- 3:59Speaker 3: lot more than expected.
- 4:01Speaker 5: He's really a lot more than expected.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, Andy.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Now he's out for the season.
- 4:04Speaker 3: He's going to undergo surgery, I think, today, tomorrow.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Sorry, Andy. Yeah.
- 4:10Speaker 9: All right.
- 4:10Speaker 3: What's up, Mimi?
- 4:12Speaker 10: I'm sorry, Andy. Good morning.
- 4:15Speaker 11: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
- 4:18Speaker 11: largest law firm. So we start this morning with breaking
- 4:21Speaker 11: news overnight. Just after 1 a.m. this morning, a federal
- 4:25Speaker 11: judge ordered the White House to immediately restore access to CNN, MSNOW,
- 4:30Speaker 11: and Politico. The three news stations, they were banned from
- 4:33Speaker 11: the White House last week by President Trump. But overnight,
- 4:37Speaker 11: the judge in the case, a Trump appointee, blocked that ban,
- 4:40Speaker 11: ordering reporters' credentials restored for the next 14 days. And
- 4:45Speaker 11: the judge says the White House did not give them
- 4:47Speaker 11: proper process or proper due process before taking their credentials away.
- 4:52Speaker 11: And he questioned the administration's national security argument, saying there
- 4:56Speaker 11: wasn't enough evidence showing that putting these reporters back in
- 5:02Speaker 11: the White House was a national security risk.
- 5:05Speaker 10: But this is not the end of the case.
- 5:07Speaker 11: This order lasts for 14 days while the larger lawsuit
- 5:10Speaker 11: plays out.
- 5:11Speaker 10: But no doubt a win for these outlets this morning, guys.
- 5:14Speaker 6: But is the Trump administration going to respect the judge's orders, though?
- 5:16Speaker 6: You know, they don't have no problem ignoring federal judges.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:21Speaker 11: We will see what happens today as that press pool
- 5:24Speaker 11: moves along. And now to the United Nations, where the
- 5:27Speaker 11: war between the U.S. and Iran is playing out on
- 5:30Speaker 11: the world stage. So Iran's president, he took to the U.N.
- 5:33Speaker 11: stage yesterday accusing the U.S. and Israel of being the
- 5:38Speaker 11: aggressors in the war.
- 5:39Speaker 10: Let's listen.
- 5:41Speaker 9: The United States president described us as terrorists. We have
- 5:47Speaker 9: been the victims of terrorism.
- 5:49Speaker 8: I come from an Iran.
- 5:52Speaker 9: In which our esteemed supreme leader was assassinated, these children
- 5:59Speaker 9: perished under bombs with weapons used by the United States
- 6:05Speaker 9: and Israel.
- 6:06Speaker 1: They were innocent.
- 6:09Speaker 11: Well, yeah, his speech comes just one day after President
- 6:13Speaker 11: Trump used his U.N. speech to issue a major warning
- 6:17Speaker 11: to Iran if it refuses to make a peace deal.
- 6:20Speaker 10: I believe we have some of that as well.
- 6:22Speaker 8: I have a big decision to make.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Will a deal be made with Iran that.
- 6:27Speaker 12: Lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than
- 6:31Speaker 12: it ever was before? Or do I annihilate the Islamic
- 6:35Speaker 12: Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance
- 6:39Speaker 12: to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I
- 6:44Speaker 12: drive them into hell with no chance of survival and
- 6:47Speaker 12: no hope of future greatness or generations? But I believe
- 6:51Speaker 12: we'll make a deal right after the election.
- 6:54Speaker 5: Who is we, though?
- 6:54Speaker 6: Because all peace deals are determined on what Bibi Netanyahu wants.
- 6:58Speaker 6: And I don't know why we keep acting like that's
- 7:00Speaker 6: not the case.
- 7:00Speaker 3: It's just crazy that you can talk about a country
- 7:02Speaker 3: like that. Like, yeah, we're just going to flatten the country.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Just send all y'all to hell. That doesn't sound crazy
- 7:07Speaker 3: to anybody.
- 7:08Speaker 4: Everything you do sound crazy.
- 7:11Speaker 10: Sounds very crazy.
- 7:12Speaker 11: And speaking of Netanyahu, today, all eyes are on Israel.
- 7:17Speaker 11: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address the U.N.
- 7:21Speaker 11: this afternoon, where he says he will defend Israel's actions
- 7:26Speaker 11: and push back against his critics. And we're told beyond
- 7:30Speaker 11: all of this, the U.S. and Iran publicly kind of
- 7:35Speaker 11: getting into it at the U.N., we're told that they
- 7:37Speaker 11: are behind the scenes continuing indirect talks about ending the war.
- 7:41Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 7:43Speaker 10: Something else to continue to look at it.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Seems like every time bb netanyahu gets up there it
- 7:47Speaker 3: feels like all the diplomats and international delegations they.
- 7:50Speaker 10: Walk out yeah yeah they walk out that's what they.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Said about iran yesterday when iran uh minister president was
- 7:57Speaker 3: speaking everybody walked out.
- 8:00Speaker 11: And we're learning this morning about the eight soldiers or
- 8:03Speaker 11: there were a total of eight soldiers on that USS
- 8:06Speaker 11: Abraham Lincoln that attempted suicide. You guys remember that the
- 8:09Speaker 11: president was downplaying the conditions on that above aboard that ship.
- 8:15Speaker 11: The soldiers, they were deployed or have been deployed for
- 8:17Speaker 11: more than 300 days. That's about 10 months away from home,
- 8:20Speaker 11: much of it during the war. And during that time,
- 8:23Speaker 11: sailors and their families, they complained about not having enough food,
- 8:26Speaker 11: problems with the.
- 8:26Speaker 10: Bathrooms, getting basic supplies.
- 8:28Speaker 11: But the Navy says none of that, none of the
- 8:31Speaker 11: suicide attempts were fatal, but that they did happen. We
- 8:35Speaker 11: only heard about one at the time, but now we're
- 8:37Speaker 11: learning that there were a total of eight suicide attempts.
- 8:40Speaker 7: Wow.
- 8:40Speaker 11: But that Lincoln is finally headed back to San Diego
- 8:44Speaker 11: and where they have about two more weeks.
- 8:46Speaker 10: I'm told, before they get home.
- 8:48Speaker 7: Wow.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Yes. And then what's the penalty.
- 8:51Speaker 1: When you do that?
- 8:53Speaker 10: Say that again, Jess?
- 8:54Speaker 4: Don't they penalize you when you do that?
- 8:56Speaker 14: I remember, like, very vaguely about what happened to the
- 8:59Speaker 14: first soldier that they reported trying to jump ship.
- 9:02Speaker 4: You get penalized if you don't die, right?
- 9:03Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 9:04Speaker 10: There are. But, you know, I think right now we're
- 9:07Speaker 10: going to see what happens because, yes, they are being penalized.
- 9:10Speaker 11: But there's been so much talk behind this right now
- 9:14Speaker 11: that they're calling for more of a compassionate response versus
- 9:18Speaker 11: kind of like a lockup response with these soldiers, seeing as.
- 9:21Speaker 10: How they were deployed for so long.
- 9:24Speaker 11: And lastly, truckers, we've been talking about this, they're paying
- 9:27Speaker 11: more to keep food and groceries and everything on their
- 9:32Speaker 11: big rigs, which is costing a lot of money. Diesel
- 9:35Speaker 11: gas is now, or diesel fuel is now at $ 6.
- 9:38Speaker 3: 52.
- 9:39Speaker 11: Here in California, it's about $ 9 a gallon. The Trump
- 9:43Speaker 11: administration is now looking for ways to bring those prices down.
- 9:46Speaker 11: One idea would keep More diesel here at home instead
- 9:48Speaker 11: of sending it overseas, but that could backfire and push
- 9:52Speaker 11: other regular fuel prices higher. And another idea would be
- 9:55Speaker 11: to suspend the gas tax, saving about 18 cents for
- 9:58Speaker 11: regular gas in 2020.
- 10:00Speaker 10: 24 cents for diesel.
- 10:01Speaker 11: So we will continue to see what they choose and
- 10:05Speaker 11: if there is any relief at the pump for any
- 10:07Speaker 11: of the drivers. truck drivers, big rig drivers right now
- 10:11Speaker 11: as they continue to fill it up. One person said
- 10:14Speaker 11: that their fuel went from $ 600 each time to about
- 10:17Speaker 11: $ 1, 200 each time they fill it up.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Gas prices are ridiculous.
- 10:22Speaker 14: Train ticket prices are crazy, like $ 800- something.
- 10:27Speaker 4: For you to go from New Jersey to Baltimore.
- 10:30Speaker 14: I've never seen a ticket $ 800 to $ 1, 000.
- 10:34Speaker 4: And my life is wild.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Yeah, ticket prices.
- 10:37Speaker 3: I mean, ticket prices are crazy for flights right now.
- 10:40Speaker 3: I mean, gas is so damn expensive. People have been
- 10:42Speaker 3: telling me, you know, the same $ 40, $ 50 they've been
- 10:45Speaker 3: putting in their car would last them a week is
- 10:46Speaker 3: now only lasting them in a day and a half
- 10:48Speaker 3: because they're not getting that much fuel. So hopefully they
- 10:51Speaker 3: do something. I mean, taking the gas tax off is
- 10:53Speaker 3: just a start for right now, but it'll help people
- 10:55Speaker 3: a whole lot.
- 10:57Speaker 4: It will.
- 10:58Speaker 11: It'll be a temporary fix, but I think people need
- 10:59Speaker 11: something right now that helps them and alleviate some of that.
- 11:03Speaker 4: And this hour of.

- 14:36Speaker 1: I am. We appreciate you, brother. Get it off your chest.
- 14:39Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, I was saying, if y'all heard about this
- 14:42Speaker 7: thing with AI Google, where if you type in, I'm
- 14:46Speaker 7: alone with white people, and it gives you this list
- 14:49Speaker 7: of safety features and stuff.
- 14:53Speaker 1: No.
- 14:54Speaker 13: No.
- 14:54Speaker 1: But if you type it, huh?
- 14:56Speaker 3: You said, I'm alone.
- 14:57Speaker 1: With white people?
- 14:58Speaker 5: Yeah, I never thought to type that in.
- 14:59Speaker 1: I've never been alone with white people.
- 15:01Speaker 11: Never.
- 15:02Speaker 7: I just seen on Instagram a bunch of white folks was, like,
- 15:06Speaker 7: typing it in and showing it and stuff and being like, well,
- 15:09Speaker 7: why are we considered dangerous and this, that, and the other?
- 15:12Speaker 3: You're not that question.
- 15:14Speaker 5: You do realize that all of this is socially engineered, right? Like,
- 15:17Speaker 5: this isn't random.
- 15:18Speaker 6: Like, you weren't just randomly on social media and came
- 15:21Speaker 6: across that. Like, you know, there's somebody online or some
- 15:25Speaker 6: type of bots online that put that out there on
- 15:28Speaker 6: purpose for you and everybody else to start searching that.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Yeah, it just says, are you feeling unsafe right now
- 15:33Speaker 3: or are you testing the system? And I just said
- 15:35Speaker 3: I put testing the system.
- 15:36Speaker 1: It says, okay.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Evaluating if the user's in distress. It just tells you
- 15:40Speaker 3: ways out. But I'm sure if I put I'm alone
- 15:42Speaker 3: with black people, I'm alone with Asian people, it's going
- 15:43Speaker 3: to do the same thing, right?
- 15:44Speaker 4: Crazy.
- 15:46Speaker 7: Not according to the people I've seen. They said it's
- 15:48Speaker 7: something completely different.
- 15:50Speaker 3: I just typed in I'm alone with black people.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Same thing.
- 15:52Speaker 3: It'll be funny if you type in I'm alone with
- 15:54Speaker 3: black people and they reply back to you, but you black.
- 15:56Speaker 7: I'm on another note.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Then you'd be shocked, like, damn, are they watching me?
- 16:00Speaker 1: How they know?
- 16:01Speaker 8: Damn.
- 16:02Speaker 7: Well, yo, on another note, though, I'm on my way
- 16:05Speaker 7: to the gym, man. Can you play, at the top
- 16:07Speaker 7: of the hour, can you play the art of storytelling

- 20:18Speaker 4: All righty, y'all.
- 20:19Speaker 21: So we're going to start with Cardi B. So Cardi B,
- 20:24Speaker 21: this week, she kicked off Milan Fashion Week. She was
- 20:26Speaker 21: walking in the Vogue event, this Vogue Worlds event where
- 20:30Speaker 21: they bring a bunch of celebrities onto the runway. And
- 20:32Speaker 21: she was handpicked by Anna Wintour. and Donatella Versace to
- 20:37Speaker 21: walk for the brand. Now she was over there in
- 20:40Speaker 21: Milan and she was enjoying herself off the runway as
- 20:42Speaker 21: well because there were videos that began to circulate from
- 20:46Speaker 21: fan accounts of.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Cardi out and about with her new boo thing.
- 20:49Speaker 21: And I'm saying her new boo thing, but nothing ain't
- 20:51Speaker 21: been confirmed, but it definitely looks like it.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Oh, God. Yo, you can't do that. No, no, no, no, no.
- 20:58Speaker 7: Wait, wait, wait.
- 21:00Speaker 4: No, listen.
- 21:00Speaker 21: There's a video of them literally in a mirror with
- 21:03Speaker 21: his arm around her, and they're taking a photo.
- 21:05Speaker 4: That ain't their boo. I don't know what y'all would
- 21:07Speaker 4: call it at this point.
- 21:08Speaker 5: I mean, it's a boo because you took a picture.
- 21:09Speaker 4: I mean, did y'all see the video? Is this the
- 21:11Speaker 4: same guy that we've seen her with?
- 21:12Speaker 21: Yes, this is the same guy that she was spotted
- 21:15Speaker 21: back with in July on that balcony over there. But
- 21:18Speaker 21: there's two videos. There's one of them outside of this party,
- 21:21Speaker 21: and it's like an after party. They just like having
- 21:23Speaker 21: a good time. But then there's one inside. Someone was
- 21:25Speaker 21: recording Cardi as she was like taking a picture or
- 21:27Speaker 21: video of.
- 21:27Speaker 4: Them in the mirror.
- 21:29Speaker 21: And he's like standing behind her, arm wrapped around her.
- 21:31Speaker 21: It's definitely giving.
- 21:32Speaker 4: There's something there. We don't know everything.
- 21:35Speaker 21: All we know is that Colin Carter, who styles Cardi,
- 21:37Speaker 21: also was styling him as well, too. And they sat
- 21:39Speaker 21: next to each other at that fashion show months ago.
- 21:41Speaker 21: But it does, I mean, look, that video gives, there's
- 21:44Speaker 21: something there. And if it is, more power to Cardi.
- 21:47Speaker 21: She's out here having a good time.
- 21:48Speaker 4: And her walk was mean, honey. Her walk was nasty.
- 21:52Speaker 4: She ate that up. Yes. And that was a long walkway. So,
- 21:56Speaker 4: shout out to Cardi.
- 21:57Speaker 21: Well, she's also, you know, having more conversations about the
- 22:00Speaker 21: new music. Remember, she told us at the iHeart Music
- 22:03Speaker 21: Festival that she has new music coming, 2027. Well, she
- 22:06Speaker 21: sat down with Kevin Frazier and just talked a bit about,
- 22:09Speaker 21: you know, where that music direction may be going. Let's
- 22:11Speaker 21: take a listen to Cardi on heartbreaking new music.
- 22:14Speaker 10: I've just been having an insane year.
- 22:16Speaker 4: I made a lot of goals. I had a couple
- 22:19Speaker 4: of heartbreaks.
- 22:21Speaker 1: What breaks your heart?
- 22:23Speaker 9: Disappointment.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Can we talk about new music?
- 22:26Speaker 6: Because you hinted, you're saying that there's new music coming.
- 22:30Speaker 10: Yes, it is new music coming.
- 22:32Speaker 5: Is that in Cardi years or is that in regular years?
- 22:34Speaker 4: It's going to be regular years. And even this year,
- 22:37Speaker 4: I'm going to be dropping little things, little by little.
- 22:40Speaker 1: What will it be about? Good music.
- 22:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:45Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah.
- 22:46Speaker 21: And I think, you know, when people see Cardi out
- 22:48Speaker 21: and about and having a good time, whether it's with
- 22:50Speaker 21: her friends here in New York in the parties or
- 22:52Speaker 21: dating or whatever, there's always like a, oh my God, Cardi,
- 22:55Speaker 21: what is she doing? But I think you got to
- 22:57Speaker 21: live a little bit to get the good music. And
- 22:59Speaker 21: I think it shows that she's in a good place.
- 23:01Speaker 21: Because for a long time before this, and she came
- 23:04Speaker 21: out and talked about it, it was different.
- 23:06Speaker 4: Now she's feeling good. She's feeling sexy. I'm happy for Cardi.
- 23:09Speaker 1: We just spoke a couple days ago. She told us
- 23:11Speaker 1: the same thing. Yeah.
- 23:12Speaker 6: I ain't never seen Bardi not living. Every time I
- 23:15Speaker 6: see Bardi, Bardi out and about living her life.
- 23:16Speaker 4: I think she keeps it up well.
- 23:18Speaker 21: But when she was going through all that stuff with her, also,
- 23:21Speaker 21: she talked about being basically in a really bad place,
- 23:24Speaker 21: in a dark place.
- 23:24Speaker 1: It was different.
- 23:25Speaker 5: She was still outside, though, having a good time.
- 23:26Speaker 4: But we didn't get music.
- 23:28Speaker 3: No, we ain't getting music in 10 years. That has
- 23:31Speaker 3: nothing to do with that. Because even when she was
- 23:32Speaker 3: with Offset, living her best life, she still wasn't getting it.
- 23:35Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, though.
- 23:36Speaker 4: I think she's in.
- 23:37Speaker 3: A good place. I think she's in a zone right now.
- 23:40Speaker 5: Cardi does what she wants to do.
- 23:43Speaker 6: And we know this because there's been times cardi has
- 23:46Speaker 6: had movies lined up and you know a month or
- 23:48Speaker 6: so before the movie she's like you know i don't
- 23:50Speaker 6: want to do the movie.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Again yeah damn no that's just true cardi cardi b
- 23:54Speaker 3: does what she wants.
- 23:54Speaker 21: To do i respect that though because i feel like
- 23:56Speaker 21: when you really in it you could feel it like
- 23:58Speaker 21: the the art will reflect how you how confident you
- 24:01Speaker 21: feel about it yeah.
- 24:02Speaker 3: She's in his own right now she's in his own
- 24:04Speaker 3: car she's outside she knows how to she she's in
- 24:07Speaker 3: his own she just had a successful tour Her records
- 24:09Speaker 3: are going crazy. She's she's in his own. Yes.
- 24:13Speaker 21: Well, speaking of in the zone and women continuing to
- 24:15Speaker 21: take over Miss Angela Bassett, she's out, you know, having conversations.
- 24:20Speaker 21: And they one of the conversations she had was with
- 24:22Speaker 21: Good Morning America. And they asked her about, you know,
- 24:25Speaker 21: her return, possible return to the Wakanda universe.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.
- 24:30Speaker 20: We are all wondering about Black Panther three. Now we
- 24:32Speaker 20: know about your fate as the queen in the last one,
- 24:37Speaker 20: but we also know that there is this, um, uh, yeah, yeah.
- 24:43Speaker 20: There's the ancestral plane. So is there a chance that
- 24:46Speaker 20: we could see queen Ramona again in the next one
- 24:49Speaker 20: in Black Panther three?
- 24:51Speaker 3: There's always a chance.
- 24:53Speaker 13: There's always hope.
- 24:56Speaker 4: I feel like I'm watching American Horror Story.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I know, I'm looking to see if I can see
- 25:00Speaker 1: a clue.
- 25:00Speaker 4: And the hope is the expectation of something good.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Let me tell you something, man. Angela Bassett is not
- 25:06Speaker 5: in the zone. She is the zone.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Okay?
- 25:09Speaker 1: Angela Bassett is elegance personified. You talk about regal.
- 25:12Speaker 3: I mean, when you talk about everything that is beautiful
- 25:15Speaker 3: about a woman, she has it.
- 25:16Speaker 6: Not just physical beauty, but aura. Like, you can't just
- 25:19Speaker 6: talk about aura. Angela Bassett is aura. Drop on the
- 25:22Speaker 6: Clues Bomb for Angela Bassett.
- 25:23Speaker 4: And she's 68 years old, and she looks so good.
- 25:26Speaker 5: I watched a video of Angela walking into a building
- 25:29Speaker 5: like 10 times.
- 25:30Speaker 4: I think she was walking into a building where No, Jess,
- 25:33Speaker 4: you got.
- 25:34Speaker 1: To see this video. She looks so good. Oh, my God.
- 25:37Speaker 4: I'm going to send it to you.

- 25:50Speaker 4: going to be like, oh, my God. Definitely send it
- 25:51Speaker 4: to me.
- 25:52Speaker 21: But as we wrap, yeah, they were giving her her
- 25:54Speaker 21: flowers a lot, and she was talking about how grateful
- 25:56Speaker 21: she was to be in the position she's in right now.
- 25:59Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to that.
- 26:00Speaker 1: You are living your best life.
- 26:02Speaker 22: You really are the way that you were able to
- 26:04Speaker 22: get all of these, not yet earn all of the
- 26:07Speaker 22: different roles and the respect from people who, what is
- 26:10Speaker 22: it like for you this point in your life and
- 26:13Speaker 22: career and all the different characters that are coming your way,

- 26:18Speaker 13: I'm so, I'm, I'm so appreciative and so completely grateful
- 26:23Speaker 13: every day. And, uh, Just being on set and working
- 26:26Speaker 13: with others who are just so wonderful. I just look
- 26:30Speaker 13: around and appreciate where I am, how far I've come,
- 26:33Speaker 13: and how I've sustained it. Because I know it's not
- 26:36Speaker 13: necessarily the case.
- 26:39Speaker 4: Pretty ephemeral, but somehow I've been able to hold on.
- 26:43Speaker 1: I'm going to keep holding on.
- 26:44Speaker 5: You see, Envy, you just saw the video.
- 26:46Speaker 3: I just found the video.

- 26:52Speaker 3: She looks amazing.
- 26:53Speaker 5: It just brings you joy.
- 26:54Speaker 4: And not even trying.
- 26:55Speaker 3: Just so effortless.
- 26:56Speaker 16: God damn.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Good age.
- 26:58Speaker 5: I know we keep saying age.
- 26:59Speaker 3: She just look good. It don't matter what the age.
- 27:02Speaker 3: It's not like, oh, she looks good for 68. No,
- 27:04Speaker 3: Angela Bassett is just incredible. No, but you still got.
- 27:07Speaker 8: To say the age.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yeah, you damn right you got to say the age.
- 27:09Speaker 1: She looks like she's 58.
- 27:11Speaker 5: Yeah, but she's been looking like that forever is what
- 27:12Speaker 5: I'm saying.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Touche.
- 27:13Speaker 5: I ain't never not felt like.
- 27:14Speaker 6: This about Angela Bassett. I'm just saying that it just
- 27:16Speaker 6: continues to get better with time.
- 27:19Speaker 14: You got to say 68 because, listen, my grandmother all
- 27:22Speaker 14: broke up somewhere, man. And, you know, and I see
- 27:24Speaker 14: a 68 little, you know, your woman walk out like that.

- 28:16Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now,
- 28:18Speaker 3: let's start off with Thursday Night Football. The Falcons take
- 28:23Speaker 3: on the Packers at 8-15. That's on Amazon Prime Video.
- 28:26Speaker 1: All right. What's up, Mimi?
- 28:29Speaker 10: Good morning, guys.
- 28:30Speaker 11: So Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
- 28:33Speaker 11: America's largest injury law firm. So we're going to start
- 28:36Speaker 11: this hour in Mississippi where police have now made a
- 28:39Speaker 11: second arrest in the murder of Tasia Fortune. And she's
- 28:43Speaker 11: a 29-year-old black mother of four whose body was found
- 28:46Speaker 11: hanging from a tree in Jackson back in August. Police
- 28:49Speaker 11: have now arrested 25-year-old Ernest Lloyd Jr.
- 28:53Speaker 10: And charged him with murder. A judge denied his bond.
- 28:56Speaker 11: Now, this comes less than two weeks after another arrest
- 28:59Speaker 11: we told you about, a 51-year-old Jarquise Radcliffe.
- 29:03Speaker 10: He was also charged with murder.
- 29:05Speaker 11: Now, courtroom documents accuse Radcliffe of using a cable cord.
- 29:10Speaker 11: to hang Fortune from that tree. He has pled not guilty.
- 29:14Speaker 11: Police believe there was some sort of altercation before Fortune
- 29:18Speaker 11: was killed. They don't know if it happened the same
- 29:20Speaker 11: day or days before. But her mother is now speaking
- 29:24Speaker 11: out about what happened to her daughter.
- 29:25Speaker 10: Let's listen.
- 29:26Speaker 1: No human being deserves any of this. None.
- 29:31Speaker 10: You know, she was there for four days and people
- 29:34Speaker 10: just walked by.
- 29:35Speaker 7: Damn.
- 29:38Speaker 6: It pains me that I didn't know anything about this.
- 29:39Speaker 6: case man like it's way too much going on like
- 29:42Speaker 6: i keep seeing all the stories about you know black
- 29:44Speaker 6: people getting hung but i guess i wasn't digging into
- 29:46Speaker 6: the individual you know stories because i didn't i didn't
- 29:49Speaker 6: know that there was a first arrest.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Yeah now these individuals arrested they're black or white they
- 29:56Speaker 3: were both.
- 29:56Speaker 11: Black so far um And there is a third suspect.
- 30:00Speaker 11: Police say they are not done. A warrant has been
- 30:02Speaker 11: issued for a third suspect.
- 30:04Speaker 10: And U.S. Marshals are now helping to find that person.
- 30:07Speaker 5: What's the motive?
- 30:09Speaker 4: Right.
- 30:10Speaker 11: We still don't know the motive yet. And that is
- 30:13Speaker 11: the thing. That's what people are, you know, questioning what happened.
- 30:16Speaker 11: And that's why they said there was some sort of altercation.
- 30:19Speaker 11: Police are being very tight lipped on saying exactly what happened.
- 30:23Speaker 10: Why these two individuals so far. have been arrested. We
- 30:26Speaker 10: don't know yet.
- 30:27Speaker 3: These two individuals look evil, I just want to tell you.
- 30:30Speaker 4: They look what? Say it again, Envy?
- 30:32Speaker 1: They look evil.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Yeah, they do.
- 30:33Speaker 14: The first guy, I didn't see the second guy, but
- 30:35Speaker 14: the first guy definitely looked evil.
- 30:37Speaker 1: They look evil.
- 30:38Speaker 21: Yes.
- 30:39Speaker 4: We should show their pictures.
- 30:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:43Speaker 11: And now moving on a little bit, let's talk about
- 30:46Speaker 11: a couple of powerful weather systems that we are watching
- 30:49Speaker 11: on both coasts. So first, a powerful nor'easter is moving
- 30:53Speaker 11: up the East Coast, bringing flooding, heavy rain, and strong
- 30:56Speaker 11: winds from North Carolina all the way to New England.
- 30:59Speaker 10: But this is not a snowstorm. They say it's too warm.
- 31:01Speaker 11: So the biggest threats right now are rain, flooding, and wind.
- 31:05Speaker 11: They say New York and Boston are the two areas
- 31:08Speaker 11: to watch heading into the weekend.
- 31:10Speaker 10: They say winds.
- 31:11Speaker 11: Could top 50 miles per hour in parts of the Northeast,
- 31:15Speaker 11: bringing down trees and knocking out powers. And if you're flying,
- 31:19Speaker 11: they said be careful. There are going to be possible
- 31:22Speaker 11: delays in the New York and Boston area, guys.
- 31:25Speaker 10: So something to keep in mind.
- 31:28Speaker 11: And here on the West Coast, California is already warning
- 31:31Speaker 11: people to get ready for what they say will be
- 31:33Speaker 11: a very wet winter season. So Governor Gavin Newsom, he's
- 31:36Speaker 11: declared a state of emergency because of El Nino, but
- 31:40Speaker 11: there's no emergency happening just yet.
- 31:42Speaker 10: This is about preparing early.
- 31:43Speaker 11: El Nino happens when part of the Pacific gets very warm,
- 31:47Speaker 11: which can.
- 31:48Speaker 10: Bring more rain and stronger storms to California.
- 31:51Speaker 11: Forecasters, though, they do say that 75, there is a 75%
- 31:55Speaker 11: chance that this could become one of the strongest El
- 31:58Speaker 11: Ninos ever on record. So state crews are getting ready.
- 32:02Speaker 11: Emergency crews are getting ready, getting equipment ready. into place
- 32:06Speaker 11: right now because we know here in California there are
- 32:07Speaker 11: burn areas where when that rain happens, you know, homes,
- 32:12Speaker 11: they collapse and it could be just catastrophic.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Lord have mercy. El Ninos, Nor'easters, lynchings, authoritarianism. Why do
- 32:21Speaker 1: we even leave the house?
- 32:24Speaker 12: I know.
- 32:25Speaker 11: And speaking of actually leaving the house, if you are
- 32:28Speaker 11: applying for an apartment in Florida, lying on a rental
- 32:33Speaker 11: application is about to become much bigger of a deal.
- 32:37Speaker 11: So starting October 1st, knowingly using things like a fake
- 32:42Speaker 11: pay stub, a fake bank statement to get approved.
- 32:47Speaker 10: Could actually lead to a felony charge.
- 32:50Speaker 11: So that means that you could face up to five
- 32:51Speaker 11: years in prison and a $ 5, 000 fine.
- 32:55Speaker 10: Landlords, they will also have another option.
- 32:58Speaker 11: If you get into that home using fraudulent information, they
- 33:02Speaker 11: can give you a seven-day notice to leave without giving
- 33:05Speaker 11: you the chance to fix that violation first. And so
- 33:08Speaker 11: they're saying that Florida is the first state in the
- 33:10Speaker 11: country to make this type of rental application fraud a felony.
- 33:15Speaker 10: To make it a crime.
- 33:17Speaker 11: Most places will just evict you if they find out
- 33:19Speaker 11: that you've been lying. But you can actually go to
- 33:21Speaker 11: jail in Florida if you lie or use fake documents
- 33:25Speaker 11: to get into apartments.
- 33:26Speaker 14: Man, they honor all that scamming. They must have busted
- 33:29Speaker 14: a whole bunch of people recently down in Florida.
- 33:32Speaker 4: That's crazy.
- 33:33Speaker 11: Something must have happened to trigger this, right, Jeff?
- 33:35Speaker 10: That's what I was thinking.
- 33:36Speaker 8: Yeah, hell yeah.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Well, the evictions are probably high because people are not
- 33:39Speaker 3: making what they say they're making and they can't afford
- 33:41Speaker 3: the place that they're staying and people are tired of it.
- 33:46Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 33:46Speaker 3: I thought that was always considered some type of criminal fraud, though. Like,
- 33:50Speaker 3: if you use, like, a fake social security number.
- 33:53Speaker 14: But it used to be more getaway-wittable, though. Like, you
- 33:57Speaker 14: could get away with it a lot more.
- 33:58Speaker 6: Like, if you forged financial documents. I thought that was
- 34:00Speaker 6: always considered, like, some type of criminal fraud.
- 34:02Speaker 4: It is a crime if you get caught, for sure, yeah.
- 34:04Speaker 3: But they never really check, right?
- 34:05Speaker 20: Right.
- 34:06Speaker 3: 30,000 a year and you say, I make $ 50, 000. Like
- 34:11Speaker 3: if you need to get that apartment, those are ways
- 34:13Speaker 3: that usually people would get through and get, but now
- 34:15Speaker 3: they're saying, if you do that, you're going to jail.
- 34:17Speaker 4: Yeah. Now they're, they're on two people now. You know
- 34:19Speaker 4: what I mean?
- 34:20Speaker 14: I get what you're saying about the evictions, but I
- 34:21Speaker 14: just feel like somebody just recently started checking.
- 34:25Speaker 8: Like, yeah. And they noticed.
- 34:27Speaker 11: Yeah. They can call the police. So there are bigger consequences.
- 34:30Speaker 11: I think is what we're hearing now for, for that
- 34:32Speaker 11: type of fraud. All right, y'all. Well, that is your

- 35:13Speaker 1: And we gonna get it done.
- 35:14Speaker 5: You look more in shape than usual, bro. I mean,
- 35:17Speaker 5: you always look in shape.
- 35:17Speaker 1: It's just like you working out for something. Listen, man,
- 35:21Speaker 1: they want to see it. I'm on that. I'm on
- 35:23Speaker 1: that R & B tour stage.
- 35:25Speaker 4: We haven't came to see you yet.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah. Them is real jumbotron.
- 35:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw you out there in the rain.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Come on now.
- 35:31Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Yeah. R & B, you got to get wet.
- 35:33Speaker 5: You out there with Usher and Chris.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Usher and Chris. Crazy.
- 35:36Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 35:36Speaker 1: What made you want to do that? History.
- 35:37Speaker 5: Okay.
- 35:38Speaker 1: The CB said he was going to do the tour.
- 35:40Speaker 1: I was like, it was immediate. I was like, brother,
- 35:43Speaker 1: I don't ask you for much. I ask you for
- 35:45Speaker 1: nothing at all. But if this is happening, I want
- 35:47Speaker 1: to go. All right, all right, all right. And he
- 35:49Speaker 1: was like, okay, all right, big bro, you want to,
- 35:50Speaker 1: you want to, Open? How you want it? I said, no.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Hells no. I want to be on the main stage
- 35:55Speaker 1: when the big lights come on. I want to sing background.
- 35:58Speaker 1: He's like, what? He's like, all right. OK. Then he
- 36:02Speaker 1: was like, well, what if we make all the background
- 36:04Speaker 1: singers stars? I was like this. It'd be crazy. It's already,
- 36:07Speaker 1: to me, one of the greatest tours ever. But you
- 36:08Speaker 1: add that. So now it's me, Eric, and Mario. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:12Speaker 21: I love how that came together and the story behind it.
- 36:14Speaker 21: Because we talked about it up here when Jacquees made
- 36:17Speaker 21: the comment about not wanting to do it.
- 36:20Speaker 4: And the way that he positioned it.
- 36:21Speaker 21: Was like it devalued y'all and what y'all do because
- 36:25Speaker 21: y'all are back now.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Jacquees wasn't really throwing shots at us. You know what
- 36:30Speaker 1: I mean? Jacquees was mad at Mario. Well, he did
- 36:32Speaker 1: say Mario and Tank. He was mad at you for
- 36:34Speaker 1: other reasons. He wasn't mad at me at all.
- 36:36Speaker 5: I think he was mad because the whole.
- 36:37Speaker 1: King R & B debate. That's old. We dealt with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:41Speaker 1: He's not mad at me about that. We cleared that up. Listen,
- 36:44Speaker 1: this is a different kind of opportunity. If you can't
- 36:47Speaker 1: see the other side of it, then it's hard to
- 36:51Speaker 1: process what this is.
- 36:52Speaker 4: Right?
- 36:52Speaker 1: I could easily go do my own thing to the
- 36:54Speaker 1: tune of 3, 5, 6,000 people. But when am I
- 36:59Speaker 1: ever going to get the opportunity to Do what I
- 37:02Speaker 1: do in front of 50 to 70,000 people every night. Yeah, yeah.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Everything is there. And I just get to show up
- 37:11Speaker 1: and do my thing and put my QR code up.
- 37:15Speaker 1: put my album blast up, like all of these things
- 37:17Speaker 1: that it just makes sense. I get it.
- 37:20Speaker 5: It's a lot of perks.
- 37:20Speaker 1: A lot of benefit. All perks.
- 37:23Speaker 4: I get it.
- 37:23Speaker 1: There are no losses in this. And it's not like
- 37:25Speaker 1: you need it.
- 37:26Speaker 5: It's not like Tank is out here struggling.
- 37:28Speaker 1: And even bigger, it's not like they need us.
- 37:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:31Speaker 1: They don't need us. These venues are sold out without me, Mario,
- 37:34Speaker 1: and Eric. This is only culture and history. That's all
- 37:38Speaker 1: this is. Yeah.
- 37:39Speaker 21: It feels like within this last year or so, like
- 37:42Speaker 21: around the Broadway stuff and our Reasonable Doubt and the
- 37:44Speaker 21: Are you on this grind of like, but why?
- 37:47Speaker 4: Because you have your tank already.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Well, my retiring or wanting to retire when I lost
- 37:53Speaker 1: my hearing and all that stuff during the R &
- 37:55Speaker 1: B Money album was because there were more things that
- 37:57Speaker 1: I wanted to do to help round out the brand,
- 38:00Speaker 1: more things that I love. Alicia Keys calling me for
- 38:04Speaker 1: Broadway was the first step in being able to round
- 38:09Speaker 1: out the brand at a high level. And then, you know,
- 38:11Speaker 1: LaTanya and, and Swiss, you know, talk to Tyler Perry.
- 38:15Speaker 1: And then I get that movie, you know, which, which
- 38:18Speaker 1: drops this year, follow that up with Ramla grabbing me
- 38:22Speaker 1: for a reasonable doubt. Now me retiring, like this is
- 38:25Speaker 1: what I was trying to do, trying to figure out
- 38:27Speaker 1: how to have enough time to do all of these things.
- 38:29Speaker 1: And now it's kind of happened. On its own, like,
- 38:32Speaker 1: you know, be careful what you wish for, right? You
- 38:33Speaker 1: pray for a thing and God delivers. And so what
- 38:37Speaker 1: you've been seeing in the last two years is just
- 38:40Speaker 1: God delivering.
- 38:41Speaker 6: I do want to say one thing about Jacquees because
- 38:43Speaker 6: he did bring up the fact he did a whole
- 38:45Speaker 6: album with R.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Kelly.
- 38:45Speaker 5: And he said he never used that.
- 38:47Speaker 6: He said when you called him out, he wanted to
- 38:50Speaker 6: tell you I had a whole album with R.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Kelly, but he just kept it tucked. What does that mean?
- 38:54Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 38:55Speaker 6: He was saying the king of R & B stamped
- 38:56Speaker 6: him as the king of R & B. That's what
- 38:57Speaker 6: he was saying.
- 38:58Speaker 1: I'm not going to do this with you. I'm dead set.
- 39:00Speaker 1: He was just up there. I'm not even making this up.
- 39:02Speaker 1: I'm not even making this up. As soon as I
- 39:04Speaker 1: said I was a King R & B, I was
- 39:05Speaker 1: with R.
- 39:06Speaker 11: Kelly.
- 39:06Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? So it's like I didn't
- 39:07Speaker 1: even get to show the world that. What do you mean?
- 39:10Speaker 23: When I said I was a King R & B, R.
- 39:12Speaker 23: Kelly flew me to Chicago. Man, first thing Kel said
- 39:14Speaker 23: when he walked in the studio, King R & B, right?
- 39:16Speaker 5: Bro, that would have f * * * ed the
- 39:17Speaker 5: game up. You just call yourself.
- 39:18Speaker 1: King R & B.
- 39:20Speaker 23: That's why, and I love Tank, right? Tank is my
- 39:22Speaker 23: big brother. I didn't like what he said when I
- 39:26Speaker 23: said that. He instantly was talking about like how I
- 39:29Speaker 23: was like damn I wish I would've popped out with
- 39:31Speaker 23: kills I would've shut all these up.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Joe first of all let's make one thing clear Jacquees
- 39:37Speaker 1: is my guy yeah 100 grand like that's family my
- 39:40Speaker 1: statement to Jacquees was merely about about work and how
- 39:44Speaker 1: long you gotta be in this thing in order to
- 39:47Speaker 1: call yourself a thing yeah that's it But then I
- 39:50Speaker 1: digress because it's like he sees me as an elder
- 39:53Speaker 1: for him. It's like, hey, man, I'm shooting for the stars. Yeah. Right.
- 39:57Speaker 1: And so I got to step back and say, OK,
- 40:00Speaker 1: I got to think about the power of my voice
- 40:02Speaker 1: when I'm saying you're not or you're not gonna or
- 40:05Speaker 1: don't you know, when I'm interjecting negativities. Yeah. And you
- 40:08Speaker 1: got to be careful about that. You know what I'm saying?
- 40:10Speaker 1: So my thing was, you know what? I understand why
- 40:12Speaker 1: he feels a way because he's reaching for something. And
- 40:15Speaker 1: here comes the OG, the guy he looks up to
- 40:18Speaker 1: in front of everybody kind of knocking him down.
- 40:20Speaker 5: Or providing context.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Yeah, but I can do it differently.
- 40:23Speaker 5: Okay, okay.
- 40:24Speaker 1: I can call him and do that. Because you know what?
- 40:26Speaker 21: I feel like the King of R & B conversation that,
- 40:28Speaker 21: you know, when everybody was having a conversation with him.
- 40:32Speaker 4: It made people have a conversation about R & B.
- 40:33Speaker 21: It made people have a conversation. It's like a healthy,
- 40:36Speaker 21: like how it be like the rap battles, I mean, whatever.
- 40:39Speaker 21: But it's like a healthy competition.
- 40:41Speaker 6: Why don't it never work with people who actually are
- 40:43Speaker 6: considered kings? For example, like last week or something, Usher
- 40:46Speaker 6: puts the crown on.
- 40:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:47Speaker 5: And Chris Post, he's a king. Nobody even has a
- 40:51Speaker 5: debate about that because everybody feels like those two can
- 40:53Speaker 5: be king.
- 40:53Speaker 21: But you debate between the two, who you like, who
- 40:55Speaker 21: you don't like. But I feel like with Jacquees is like,
- 40:58Speaker 21: Even with, like, the boxers, like, you come in, you
- 41:01Speaker 21: going for, you know what I mean?
- 41:02Speaker 4: You trying to get to the floor. Like, Jacquees, he has.
- 41:05Speaker 21: A fan base and he is who he is. But
- 41:07Speaker 21: I don't think there's nothing wrong with the way he
- 41:08Speaker 21: postured himself. I think it made people be like, oh.
- 41:10Speaker 4: Well, let's see.
- 41:11Speaker 1: Well, he just made the distinction, a clear distinction, too,
- 41:14Speaker 1: of his generation. And so if you look at his generation,
- 41:18Speaker 1: he's the guy in that space.
- 41:19Speaker 13: Nah.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Who? It's a lot more. Leon Thomas. It's not a generation.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Who's Jacquees' generation?
- 41:25Speaker 1: Jacquees was before Leon Thomas.
- 41:27Speaker 4: Was he Chris Brown?
- 41:27Speaker 1: Way before Leon Thomas.
- 41:28Speaker 4: What was B.E.D.? That mixtape.
- 41:32Speaker 1: We have to do the math on it. Leon Thomas
- 41:36Speaker 1: is fairly new.
- 41:37Speaker 5: What about the Brent Fiaz of the world?
- 41:40Speaker 1: He's before Brent.
- 41:41Speaker 4: 2016 was B.E.D. Was that his first The Mood mixtape?
- 41:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been on it for a long time. He's
- 41:47Speaker 1: been doing this for 80 years.
- 41:49Speaker 21: We're not putting him and Chris Brown kind of running it?
- 41:53Speaker 1: Nope, not even close. Chris is before everybody. Chris is
- 41:56Speaker 1: another conversation. He's not in the world.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Jacquees' first mixtape was 2011, Round of Applause.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Let me see.
- 42:04Speaker 4: What R & B artists?
- 42:05Speaker 3: Miguel, Brink Fias, Daniel Caesar, Bryson Tiller, Leon Thomas, Lucky
- 42:10Speaker 3: Day Party.
- 42:11Speaker 6: The only reason I said all those names is because
- 42:13Speaker 6: Jacquees asked me one day.
- 42:14Speaker 1: I had to go back and look at the text.
- 42:20Speaker 5: He asked me one day. He said, I just want
- 42:23Speaker 5: to see something, man. Who else from my generation?
- 42:24Speaker 1: Blah, blah, blah.
- 42:25Speaker 5: And I said, don't.
- 42:26Speaker 1: I mean, listen. Listen. Out of all those guys, name
- 42:30Speaker 1: those guys again.
- 42:30Speaker 6: Miguel, Brent Fias, Daniel Caesar, Bryson Tiller, Leon Thomas, Lucky Day,
- 42:36Speaker 6: Party Mexico.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Like three of those guys have real hit records. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Like hot 100s. Yeah, yeah. So.
- 42:43Speaker 5: Is that how you judge it now though? Because I'm
- 42:45Speaker 5: going to tell you.
- 42:46Speaker 11: I mean.
- 42:46Speaker 1: Because you got experience coming up, but I'm thinking Masego, bro.
- 42:50Speaker 1: Have you heard of Masego? Have I heard of Masego?
- 42:52Speaker 5: But that's my point.
- 42:53Speaker 1: Masego's incredible.
- 42:54Speaker 5: But that's my point. He's not necessarily, he don't have
- 42:56Speaker 5: the hits yet, but man.
- 42:57Speaker 1: He's incredible for different reasons. I'm a musician. Okay. You
- 43:01Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Like I'm a purist. So Masego
- 43:04Speaker 1: appeals to me as the purist that I am. I'm like,
- 43:07Speaker 1: that's raw. That's what it's supposed to be. So it's like,
- 43:11Speaker 1: I think in order to be what we're talking about,
- 43:14Speaker 1: you know, there has to be a certain amount of
- 43:16Speaker 1: gift involved. a certain amount of commercial success involved. Yes, yes.
- 43:21Speaker 1: You know, a certain amount of undercurrent driving the thing,
- 43:25Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? A certain amount of culture involved.
- 43:28Speaker 1: All of these things matter. You know what I'm saying?
- 43:30Speaker 1: You can't just pick just one. So I don't know.
- 43:33Speaker 1: It's up for debate for everybody. But in the case
- 43:35Speaker 1: of Jacquees and him going for, you know, a king
- 43:38Speaker 1: in his space, he's supposed to do that.
- 43:40Speaker 3: So what could Tank make today that the younger Tank
- 43:43Speaker 3: didn't have the life experience to make?
- 43:45Speaker 1: That's a great question. I don't know, man. I think
- 43:47Speaker 1: I think the one thing that I did do that
- 43:50Speaker 1: I haven't done, that I've never done, is me putting
- 43:53Speaker 1: my gospel side, my church side on display on this album,
- 43:57Speaker 1: which I've always been kind of afraid to do. Why,
- 43:59Speaker 1: you don't want to blend the secular with the gospel?
- 44:01Speaker 1: I just didn't. You don't want to hear from your family.
- 44:03Speaker 1: Your mom would be like, what you doing? Yeah, you
- 44:04Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? You're going to stop playing with
- 44:06Speaker 1: the Lord. That's the first thing my mama say. And
- 44:10Speaker 1: I was like, this time, with the experience, I got
- 44:14Speaker 1: to give them everything. I'm not going to hold anything back.
- 44:16Speaker 1: And it's funny. I told this story the other day.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Afraid to do.
- 44:19Speaker 13: Why?
- 44:19Speaker 1: You want to blend the secular with the gospel? I
- 44:21Speaker 1: just didn't. You want to hear from your family. Your
- 44:23Speaker 1: mom would be like, what you doing? Yeah, you know
- 44:24Speaker 1: what I'm saying? You're going to stop playing with the law.
- 44:28Speaker 1: That's the first thing my mama say. And I was like,
- 44:30Speaker 1: you know, I was like this time, you know, with
- 44:33Speaker 1: the experience, I got to give them everything. I'm not
- 44:35Speaker 1: going to hold anything back. And it's funny. I told
- 44:37Speaker 1: the story the other day. I was in Chicago doing
- 44:40Speaker 1: a show. And one of R. Kelly's cousins was there.
- 44:43Speaker 1: He said, man, Kel's got a message for you. I said,
- 44:46Speaker 1: what's up? He said, tell Tank don't be afraid of
- 44:48Speaker 1: his church side. Oh, wow. This is all while I'm
- 44:51Speaker 1: working on the album. I'm already working on one of
- 44:54Speaker 1: the gospel songs and then another one is on the
- 44:56Speaker 1: way from Ghost Kid and I'm already doing it. I'm
- 44:59Speaker 1: not having second thoughts about it, but that was just
- 45:01Speaker 1: to me confirmation from Kel's who's always dabbled, you know
- 45:05Speaker 1: what I'm saying, always led with his church. Don't be
- 45:09Speaker 1: afraid of.
- 45:10Speaker 4: That, bro.
- 45:11Speaker 21: The song choice itself is a lot about How I
- 45:14Speaker 21: Need You, right? It's a lot about you, not realizing,
- 45:16Speaker 21: but you just professing out loud, like, I need you.
- 45:19Speaker 4: I need you in my life. Things aren't always perfect.
- 45:22Speaker 21: Like, is that why you chose that song to be
- 45:24Speaker 21: the one that you kind of bring that church side
- 45:26Speaker 21: in with?
- 45:26Speaker 1: Like, if you listen to the song, it's two-part because
- 45:28Speaker 1: it's like there's being thankful for the woman that's in
- 45:32Speaker 1: your life and being in worship to that, for that,
- 45:36Speaker 1: and then being thankful for God. And so it's two-part,
- 45:40Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And so however it hits you,
- 45:43Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Wherever it sends you. I
- 45:45Speaker 1: wanted it to meet you wherever you are. Yes, I
- 45:47Speaker 1: am in worship to God and thankful for the woman
- 45:49Speaker 1: that I have. And I can tell her how I
- 45:51Speaker 1: need you. But I'm also telling him how I need you.
- 45:54Speaker 21: When you talked about the two sides of it, I
- 45:56Speaker 21: think about something my pastor always does. Him and the
- 45:58Speaker 21: first lady in the church, they've been married for years.
- 46:01Speaker 21: But they come on stage and she does like the
- 46:04Speaker 21: church announcements. But he always takes time to like love
- 46:07Speaker 21: her in front of the church. And I think I've
- 46:09Speaker 21: never seen, you know, pastors try to act like they
- 46:11Speaker 21: don't have that life even with their wives, right? But
- 46:13Speaker 21: I always thought that it was amazing because it's like
- 46:15Speaker 21: God talks about how like, you know, a woman completes
- 46:18Speaker 21: a life in a life, your life. And being grateful
- 46:21Speaker 21: to that and understanding that and being thankful to that
- 46:23Speaker 21: is kind of like what your faith relationship should be
- 46:26Speaker 21: with God.
- 46:26Speaker 4: And it's of God as well, too. So I know
- 46:28Speaker 4: maybe you're marrying the two of them there somewhere.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Listen, I've done couples nights.
- 46:31Speaker 4: People have been having the babies now.
- 46:33Speaker 3: You've got to bring in and get the rings.
- 46:34Speaker 1: I've done couples nights for churches, for pastors, and they
- 46:36Speaker 1: call me in. What you sing? Yeah, what do you mean?
- 46:38Speaker 1: I sing the songs that they get busy to. What
- 46:41Speaker 1: do you mean? All that secular music? What do you mean?
- 46:44Speaker 3: What are you married?
- 46:44Speaker 4: What do you think they're playing?
- 46:45Speaker 1: You think they're playing Reverend James Cleveland when they... When
- 46:48Speaker 1: they're getting saucy. You never know. Little John P.
- 46:51Speaker 7: King.
- 46:51Speaker 5: I know that God, my God.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Turn that Fred Hammond on. Light that thing up. No,
- 46:56Speaker 1: that's true.
- 46:56Speaker 21: Because my pastor, he bring her on stage sometimes. He'll
- 46:59Speaker 21: sing like Luther Vandross.
- 47:00Speaker 4: He'll sing to her.
- 47:01Speaker 1: Of course. And I'm like, oh my God.
- 47:02Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 47:03Speaker 21: It's like they're married and like they're equally, they're doing
- 47:06Speaker 21: all the things.
- 47:07Speaker 4: So why not?
- 47:08Speaker 1: But I'm a church kid. So they know. So the vibrations,
- 47:12Speaker 1: they understand what I am. So that's why.
- 47:14Speaker 4: You keep your shirt on in the church.
- 47:16Speaker 1: Listen, God gave me this skin.
- 47:18Speaker 4: No, you can't do that. You took your shirt off
- 47:19Speaker 4: in the church? Every time I see you.
- 47:21Speaker 5: Perform, you end up taking something off.
- 47:22Speaker 4: You can't do that.
- 47:23Speaker 5: Just to give it the look?
- 47:24Speaker 1: On my back. On the back, okay. I keep it away.
- 47:26Speaker 1: I try to keep the niggas out of the... I
- 47:29Speaker 1: don't understand. How do you think we got here? God
- 47:33Speaker 1: made this. And when he finished making it, he said,
- 47:36Speaker 1: it is good. That's what he said.
- 47:39Speaker 3: That's your question about experience, right? You've always been comfortable
- 47:43Speaker 3: singing about sex.
- 47:44Speaker 1: Yes.
- 47:45Speaker 3: But at the age we are now, isn't intimacy more
- 47:48Speaker 3: interesting than sex?
- 47:49Speaker 1: They all. It has to be all of it.
- 47:52Speaker 6: When you talk about when we were younger, that's what
- 47:53Speaker 6: I feel like. In our 20s, that was just sex.
- 47:56Speaker 6: As you get older, you learn intimacy. You was just horny.
- 47:59Speaker 1: Yeah. You just need something to rub up against. But
- 48:03Speaker 1: now it's like, now you need a connection. Yeah. You
- 48:06Speaker 1: feel it. It's spiritual.
- 48:07Speaker 11: Right?
- 48:08Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 48:08Speaker 1: The blood doesn't even flow right. Yeah. if there isn't
- 48:12Speaker 1: a proper connection and that's what more of my music entails. Now,
- 48:17Speaker 1: I think when you asked me that question earlier, like
- 48:19Speaker 1: what experience can I, that I didn't have earlier is
- 48:22Speaker 1: that I didn't, I didn't, I didn't understand the spiritual
- 48:26Speaker 1: and mental aspect of what that entailed. Like we've always
- 48:30Speaker 1: had the physical cause our bodies just respond. Right. But
- 48:33Speaker 1: there's a deeper level to understanding and listening in the
- 48:38Speaker 1: moment and, and truly getting the most out of it.
- 48:41Speaker 1: That's a different conversation. That's a longer conversation.
- 48:43Speaker 7: Okay.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Are there any.
- 48:44Speaker 5: Older songs you listen to and you're like, I didn't
- 48:46Speaker 5: know what the hell I was talking about?
- 48:47Speaker 3: Because the only reason I'm harping on this is because
- 48:49Speaker 3: experience is a hell of a title.
- 48:51Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yes. So are there any
- 48:53Speaker 1: older songs that you're like, I didn't know what the
- 48:54Speaker 1: hell I was talking about? Maybe slowly.
- 48:57Speaker 5: Ooh.
- 48:58Speaker 1: You like a different pace? No, I knew to sing it. Okay, okay.
- 49:02Speaker 1: I knew to write it. Okay. But taking my time
- 49:04Speaker 1: looks differently now. It looks way differently now. You know,
- 49:09Speaker 1: you're way more patient. Like back then, it was like,
- 49:12Speaker 1: if you went a long time, yeah, hour and a
- 49:15Speaker 1: half and he's going crazy like just flipping it and
- 49:19Speaker 1: just flipping and rubbing it down but was but taking
- 49:24Speaker 1: your time like slowly means something completely different yeah you
- 49:28Speaker 1: know what i'm saying um again it goes back to
- 49:30Speaker 1: the listening and paying attention and the other part asking
- 49:34Speaker 1: questions You know what I'm saying? Like, in order to
- 49:36Speaker 1: truly be good at this thing, you have to get
- 49:39Speaker 1: the information. You have to get the information. You have
- 49:42Speaker 1: to be inquisitive. There has to be a deep desire
- 49:46Speaker 1: and also love for it. You know what I'm saying? Like,
- 49:49Speaker 1: you got to, yeah, it's different when I know you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 49:56Speaker 1: I know what you need.
- 49:57Speaker 5: So do you think men actually become better lovers with age?
- 50:00Speaker 1: Absolutely. Or we just get more experience? Especially at getting
- 50:03Speaker 1: what we want. Better. Better, okay. If you're paying attention.
- 50:06Speaker 1: And if you have the right partner, the right person
- 50:08Speaker 1: to help bring that out of you. Everybody should get better. Yeah.
- 50:12Speaker 1: What you're saying is true.
- 50:13Speaker 5: If you're having conversation, if you're asking questions.
- 50:16Speaker 1: I want to know. If I'm trash, tell me. You
- 50:20Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying? If that right there don't feel
- 50:23Speaker 1: like nothing, tell me to stop. That ain't doing nothing
- 50:25Speaker 1: right there. You got to move over to the left
- 50:26Speaker 1: a little bit. That's experience. Yeah, absolutely. I get what
- 50:32Speaker 1: you're saying. I've been young and I've been disappointing.
- 50:38Speaker 11: Really?
- 50:38Speaker 4: You had somebody tell you that? What'd they say?
- 50:41Speaker 1: Oh, God.
- 50:41Speaker 4: Were you, like, taped at the time?
- 50:43Speaker 1: No, no. That's a straight tape. No, you don't have
- 50:46Speaker 1: to share. No, no, no.
- 50:47Speaker 4: It ain't traumatic.
- 50:49Speaker 11: Go ahead.
- 50:50Speaker 1: It's the experience I've had in the middle of it. Like,
- 50:54Speaker 1: in the middle, like, just like, That.
- 51:00Speaker 4: While you, like.
- 51:01Speaker 1: While I'm doing my best work.
- 51:05Speaker 20: Damn.
- 51:07Speaker 1: Set me on a journey. Damn. I got to figure
- 51:10Speaker 1: this out. Because apparently, I'm not really good at it.
- 51:13Speaker 1: Got the tools. How did she tell you? Just don't
- 51:15Speaker 1: know how to. Like that.
- 51:16Speaker 4: She huffed and puffed.
- 51:17Speaker 1: Huffed and puffed.
- 51:18Speaker 21: But you never asked her, like, what caused it?
- 51:20Speaker 3: Like, what was the.
- 51:21Speaker 1: The huff and puff is crazy. The huff and puff. Hey.
- 51:24Speaker 1: It was wild. Oh, God.
- 51:28Speaker 3: And you just right there.
- 51:29Speaker 1: And I'm like, did you stop? Well, I was finished.
- 51:34Speaker 1: Hold on. You got finished too early? Yeah.
- 51:40Speaker 5: Oh, my God, man.
- 51:42Speaker 1: She's like, I'm about to say, no, me first.
- 51:44Speaker 5: But see, that's when you got to blame it on her.
- 51:52Speaker 1: You should have said nothing.
- 51:53Speaker 3: Just shut up.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Don't say nothing.
- 51:57Speaker 4: So then it was silent and she hit you with
- 51:58Speaker 4: what you about to do?
- 51:59Speaker 1: No, it was just like, just pack up your things, man.
- 52:04Speaker 12: Damn.
- 52:05Speaker 1: Just get out of here.
- 52:06Speaker 5: You never got a redo?
- 52:07Speaker 1: Nope.
- 52:08Speaker 4: She ain't coming to the Chris Brown Usher concert. She
- 52:09Speaker 4: is pissed.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Yeah, she mad as hell when she hear your music.
- 52:13Speaker 1: I was a baby. But it sent me on a mission.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Sent me on a mission.
- 52:19Speaker 5: You were one of the people that's always been championing,
- 52:22Speaker 5: saying we got to.
- 52:23Speaker 6: Preserve R & B, hold R & B.
- 52:25Speaker 5: High, always saying that it needs to be supported properly.
- 52:27Speaker 5: I feel like it is now.
- 52:29Speaker 1: Because people are tired. They want to get their soul's worth,
- 52:34Speaker 1: and they want to get their money's worth. They want it.
- 52:36Speaker 1: They want to feel something again. They don't want to
- 52:40Speaker 1: leave the show empty. They don't want to listen to
- 52:44Speaker 1: 17 to 24 songs and not have experienced anything before.
- 52:51Speaker 1: or gotten anything out of it, once they spend that
- 52:54Speaker 1: $ 12 or whatever that is to listen, or once they
- 52:57Speaker 1: spend that $ 200 to go to the show. And I
- 53:00Speaker 1: can tell you right now, we've always and will always
- 53:04Speaker 1: put on a show. That's what R & B is. Like,
- 53:06Speaker 1: that's all we got. Like, we're going to get on
- 53:08Speaker 1: that stage. We're going to sing. We're going to dance.
- 53:11Speaker 1: We're going to make you forget about some things that's
- 53:13Speaker 1: going on in your life for about two hour and
- 53:15Speaker 1: a half, two hours. That's always been us. We would
- 53:20Speaker 1: say the mainstream hasn't totally been receptive to that for
- 53:24Speaker 1: a very long time. Everything has just been trendy. There's
- 53:27Speaker 1: been no feeling attached to it. But now we're back.
- 53:30Speaker 1: Leon Thomas got us back. Breezy and Residuals got us back.
- 53:34Speaker 1: like Kehlani and Foldit got us back. You know what
- 53:38Speaker 1: I'm saying? Jhené just dropped number one, 74,000 back. Masego. Masego,
- 53:43Speaker 1: like all of these conversations are being had and they're
- 53:46Speaker 1: not just being had, like people are showing up to
- 53:49Speaker 1: see it.
- 53:49Speaker 6: I went to go see Masego at Radio City Music
- 53:52Speaker 6: Hall and I wasn't even familiar with his music like that. Nyla,
- 53:56Speaker 6: who's like a niece to me, she played me a,
- 53:58Speaker 6: a couple of his records like last year. And then
- 54:00Speaker 6: I heard something recently off his new album. And I
- 54:03Speaker 6: just wanted to go experience it. I'm like, I wonder
- 54:04Speaker 6: if this guy sounds like this for real, for real.
- 54:06Speaker 6: Then I get there and I'm like, oh, he plays
- 54:08Speaker 6: the saxophone? He plays the keys? He plays the guitar?
- 54:12Speaker 1: He's incredible.
- 54:13Speaker 5: I'm like, who the hell is this guy?
- 54:14Speaker 1: He's incredible.
- 54:15Speaker 5: Why is the radio playing him every hour on out?
- 54:17Speaker 1: Why? I don't know. Oh, I know why.
- 54:19Speaker 3: Because we got a bunch of culturally clueless program directors
- 54:22Speaker 3: all around the country who don't even try anymore.
- 54:25Speaker 1: I didn't say it. It's just true.
- 54:27Speaker 5: They ain't even trying. It's right there in your face.
- 54:30Speaker 3: If this was 10 years ago, 15 years ago, forget
- 54:33Speaker 3: about it. But Masego would be, they'd be killing him.
- 54:35Speaker 3: They'd be playing every single, you know how it feels
- 54:37Speaker 3: to have one of them type of records.
- 54:38Speaker 1: Like, why is it so tough to get a love
- 54:42Speaker 1: song from a black artist on a mainstream radio station?
- 54:47Speaker 1: Why is that so, why is that not the norm?
- 54:50Speaker 1: For anybody else, it's not even a conversation. You know
- 54:54Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, Teddy Swims, who's incredible, by the way,
- 54:57Speaker 1: Absolutely incredible. It wasn't a thought of if his song
- 55:02Speaker 1: was going to go to adult R & B radio.
- 55:06Speaker 1: It was never a question. No, mainstream. Crossover. Immediately. It
- 55:10Speaker 1: wasn't even a thought. Well, he's also white. Obviously.
- 55:13Speaker 4: Right.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Me, I gotta start over here. See how we feel
- 55:17Speaker 1: about you. Whether we like it or not, and I
- 55:19Speaker 1: signed up for it, so I'm never gonna complain about it.
- 55:22Speaker 1: I signed up for this.
- 55:23Speaker 4: And it's been like that your whole career?
- 55:24Speaker 1: I know what I'm up against. Absolutely.
- 55:26Speaker 20: What?
- 55:26Speaker 1: I had to fight tooth and nail for every part,
- 55:29Speaker 1: every piece.
- 55:30Speaker 21: What's one song that is like undeniably one of your
- 55:33Speaker 21: biggest hits that radio.
- 55:34Speaker 4: Didn't even want to work?
- 55:36Speaker 1: That they didn't want to work?
- 55:37Speaker 21: Like they didn't want to, like you had to fight
- 55:39Speaker 21: for it to even get played on the radio. But
- 55:40Speaker 21: today we're like, damn, I think that's the one.
- 55:42Speaker 1: I had to fight for all of them. I had to,
- 55:44Speaker 1: you know, I watched Please Don't Go start at 30
- 55:47Speaker 1: spins and grow every week, every week, every week till
- 55:52Speaker 1: we got 300, then 3,000, then finally number one. Yeah.
- 55:56Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I watch people pass on
- 55:58Speaker 1: the song. That song's cool. It's all right. You know
- 56:02Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Yeah. You know, I watch some radio
- 56:05Speaker 1: programs be absolutely terrified of when we, I mean, rightfully so,
- 56:10Speaker 1: but fight for that one. Thank God for Juliet.
- 56:12Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 56:14Speaker 1: Is that why you jaded?
- 56:15Speaker 6: Because I remember you said R & B Money was
- 56:17Speaker 6: going to be your last, your final and last.
- 56:19Speaker 1: No, that was just health. That was a health scare. Oh, okay. Yeah,
- 56:21Speaker 1: so I just wanted more time. But we're up against it, man.
- 56:26Speaker 1: As black R & B artists, as black soul singers
- 56:29Speaker 1: that want to sing about love and relationships, we're up
- 56:33Speaker 1: against it. Up against it. Like, think about it. How
- 56:36Speaker 1: many male R & B artists are singing about love
- 56:39Speaker 1: on mainstream radio?
- 56:41Speaker 4: I was just saying, you're trying to think about that because... Yeah,
- 56:44Speaker 4: I mean, new songs?
- 56:46Speaker 13: Period.
- 56:46Speaker 5: And there's some joints out there.
- 56:48Speaker 1: But think about it. Yeah.
- 56:49Speaker 21: But that's why you're so, I mean, you said the general,
- 56:51Speaker 21: like you put yourself in a general position. That's why
- 56:55Speaker 21: you protect everybody to a certain extent and a little differently.
- 56:58Speaker 1: Yes.
- 56:58Speaker 21: Like I saw when Pitchfork did that rating of Chris Brown's.
- 57:03Speaker 4: That was crazy.
- 57:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 57:05Speaker 21: When I reported it here, I was like, I couldn't
- 57:06Speaker 21: even read the whole thing because I'm like, this has
- 57:08Speaker 21: nothing to do with the music.
- 57:09Speaker 1: That's a hit piece.
- 57:10Speaker 4: It was all about all the other stuff.
- 57:12Speaker 1: It's a hit piece. That's it. It's a hit piece.
- 57:15Speaker 1: And certain things I just can't allow. I just won't
- 57:20Speaker 1: stand for it, especially when it comes to him. Because
- 57:23Speaker 1: imagine growing up in front of the camera. Imagine really
- 57:28Speaker 1: being the Truman Show. The reason most of us aren't
- 57:32Speaker 1: ridiculed and criticized the way he is is because the
- 57:36Speaker 1: camera's not on us. Yeah, we don't have to go
- 57:37Speaker 1: in front of the camera. That's right. We got some
- 57:39Speaker 1: shit in our closet. I promise you that if it
- 57:42Speaker 1: came out, we'd be completely canceled. And thank God there
- 57:45Speaker 1: was no Instagram, Twitter, and all of that in the
- 57:49Speaker 1: late 90s, early 2000s. Jesus Christ. Since you do have...
- 57:53Speaker 1: Your publicist back there like... But since they do have
- 57:57Speaker 1: this access, now they use it against you as if
- 57:59Speaker 1: they're perfect. I can't allow it. In the case of
- 58:02Speaker 1: Chris Brown, it won't work, right?
- 58:04Speaker 5: That's what you said. No weapon, right?
- 58:07Speaker 1: No. Because whether you like it or not, many are called,
- 58:11Speaker 1: but the chosen are few. He's chosen. 100%. He's absolutely chosen.
- 58:17Speaker 1: I don't know why we are connected in this way.
- 58:21Speaker 1: Many are artists. Many are people that I'm... cool wit
- 58:24Speaker 1: and all about it i don't that that right there
- 58:26Speaker 1: is that was my assignment you know i'm saying to
- 58:28Speaker 1: always be like bro you good anything like what's going
- 58:30Speaker 1: on it's always been my assignment i don't need nothing
- 58:32Speaker 1: i don't need nothing good like i'm just make sure
- 58:34Speaker 1: you're good that's probably always gonna be that because you
- 58:38Speaker 1: see the surface part i see the heart of a
- 58:39Speaker 1: man i know him i know what he gives i
- 58:42Speaker 1: know what he does i know how selfless he is
- 58:44Speaker 1: and for it to always be an attack on a
- 58:47Speaker 1: you know not a lot not.

- 1:00:22Speaker 21: September 25th. It's called Why Did I Get Married? And
- 1:00:26Speaker 21: we actually have an exclusive snippet of the song. Let's
- 1:00:30Speaker 21: take a listen to Why I Get Married featuring Kiki Wyatt.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: In public, he's solid.
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: In private, a whole bitch.
- 1:00:39Speaker 15: I kept it 100, but you ain't respect.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: That record is tough. It reminds me of, you know
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: how Mary has that one record, I'm Going Down, and
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: all the women sing that record, or Keisha Cole has
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: I Should Have Cheated, and all the women sing that record,
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: or even TLC Scrubs, like all the women sing that.
- 1:00:57Speaker 5: Well, you just named three classic records, man. Give this
- 1:00:59Speaker 5: record a chance, man.
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: Yes, you did. Yes, you did.
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: No, I'm not saying that. I didn't hear all that
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: just now.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: You just had a heartbreak. Believe me.
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: But I get.
- 1:01:08Speaker 21: You heard the whole song though right like you went
- 1:01:10Speaker 21: to a listening event so you heard the whole song
- 1:01:11Speaker 21: did you hear the whole project or just the.
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: Song I heard a bunch of records that Remy did
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: but I heard that song and that song gave that
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: feeling of I can see women in the club singing
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: that song to each other I get what you're saying
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: it put it in that same mode of that vision
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: I get what.
- 1:01:25Speaker 14: You're saying because you see how these women celebrate most
- 1:01:29Speaker 14: of these women these days are celebrating their divorces when
- 1:01:32Speaker 14: people getting out of these these long these long relationships
- 1:01:36Speaker 14: means long marriages. And this would be an anthem for,
- 1:01:39Speaker 14: you know.
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: This would be one of those anthems.
- 1:01:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Like when I see one, I should have cheated and they,
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: they singing and rapping to each other.
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: So you think you have the potential to be.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: Like, absolutely.
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: You know, you know, you have to win.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 1:01:49Speaker 21: When me and Envy talk, it happens to both of us.
- 1:01:51Speaker 21: You got to hear us. And then like, sometimes put
- 1:01:53Speaker 21: the pieces together. Sometimes like, You know what he meant.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: I ain't listening to y'all. I'm listening to the music.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: The music sound. The Kiki Wyatt?
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:02:00Speaker 20: Oh, my God.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: The Kiki Wyatt.
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: Y'all don't even want to remind me who Risa Tisa is?
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: I was going to.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: No, do you want to remind people? Go ahead. She
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: got a book out called What the F Do I
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: Do Now? But go ahead and tell them.
- 1:02:11Speaker 21: Yeah, so Risa Tisa, you guys remember she did that
- 1:02:13Speaker 21: long TikTok series breaking down the fact that she had
- 1:02:16Speaker 21: married this guy who she really didn't know and it
- 1:02:19Speaker 21: turned out to be all this craziness and it went
- 1:02:21Speaker 21: super viral and then she got.
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: You know, a deal, a book deal. She was signed
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: to a big agency. It was a huge thing. And
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: she definitely don't like Charlamagne.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: I don't even know her.
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: The guy lied about August 18th.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: It already came out. So you don't even care.
- 1:02:37Speaker 4: See how much you don't care?
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: How you over here fake caring? That book came out
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: on August 18th. You just asked me who she was.
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: You didn't ask me what I cared about.
- 1:02:45Speaker 21: So as Remy has been promoting this record, she's doing
- 1:02:50Speaker 21: a screening at a theater, like an actual theater.
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: Here on the East Coast.
- 1:02:56Speaker 21: And she's been allowing her fans to kind of like
- 1:02:59Speaker 21: guess certain things or put in certain bids to be
- 1:03:01Speaker 21: able to attend the screening with her. But yeah, she
- 1:03:04Speaker 21: talks about Lisa Left Eye, Issa Rae, Tyler Perry, and
- 1:03:06Speaker 21: Risa Tisa in that record. So she's been dropping clues
- 1:03:09Speaker 21: as she's, you know, leading up to her release date tomorrow.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: So we'll see.
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: I think it's real dope.
- 1:03:15Speaker 14: It's different for Remy and I even like how soft
- 1:03:17Speaker 14: she sound on the record.
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: You know, she's still coming with the fire, but she's
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: sounding a little softer. She sound like she and her
- 1:03:23Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:03:24Speaker 5: I heard it's doing well, too, with pre-orders.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Yeah. The record is dope.
- 1:03:29Speaker 15: Yep.
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: Sounds really good.
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: I won't play that one because.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: You ain't going to play the fool of that one, huh?
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: Like you did Kirk Franklin.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Instead of him.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: Kirk Franklin might pray for me. He's going to put
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: hands on me.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: It come out tonight.
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: It come out tonight. Y'all can listen to it every night.
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: You might as well tease it. I'm not messing with Remy.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: Remy will pray for me. I'm not playing a record.
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: Kurt Franklin, he'll pray on me. But Remy, she's going
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: to put hands.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: Sherry got you stupid on the stage, remember?
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: I remember.
- 1:03:53Speaker 16: Yep.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: I ain't messing with Remy.
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:03:55Speaker 21: Well, speaking of Issa Rae, Issa Rae actually was honored
- 1:03:58Speaker 21: last night in L.A. She received the Entertainment Entrepreneur of
- 1:04:02Speaker 21: the Year Award at Variety's L.A. Power of Women event.
- 1:04:05Speaker 21: So this is an event where tons of women were
- 1:04:08Speaker 21: there being honored.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: I saw.
- 1:04:10Speaker 21: uh jennifer hudson i saw queen latifah there like there
- 1:04:12Speaker 21: was a lot of people there but uh isa ray
- 1:04:14Speaker 21: when she was honored she came on stage and she
- 1:04:17Speaker 21: gave an acceptance speech where she was talking about how
- 1:04:19Speaker 21: she didn't have any inspiration because she's been distracted by
- 1:04:22Speaker 21: everything that has been happening let's take a listen to
- 1:04:24Speaker 21: isa on how she's feeling right now this is all men's.
- 1:04:30Speaker 15: Fault It's rich white men to be specific for this moment.
- 1:04:35Speaker 15: And I hate that I'm not passing the Bechdel test,
- 1:04:37Speaker 15: but it is hard to feel like a powerful woman
- 1:04:40Speaker 15: when men keep everything up. That's where I'm at, just
- 1:04:45Speaker 15: like mentally.
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: That's why I wrote a speech that sounds like this.
- 1:04:48Speaker 15: But it is very hard to feel inspired when you
- 1:04:52Speaker 15: feel helpless and useless.
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: Now, what exactly is Allman's fault?
- 1:04:57Speaker 21: So, okay, so a writer that was there in the room,
- 1:05:00Speaker 21: because they only posted clips of this, they said that
- 1:05:03Speaker 21: she was talking, she mentions climate disaster, politics, the rise
- 1:05:07Speaker 21: of AI. She says she's been distracted by everything happening
- 1:05:10Speaker 21: across the nation and the industry. The industry feels like
- 1:05:14Speaker 21: right now that it's literally eating itself. So, you know,
- 1:05:16Speaker 21: there's been a lot of change across television, across different
- 1:05:18Speaker 21: mergers that have happened.
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: So just the world in general.
- 1:05:21Speaker 21: And a creative like Issa, She uses her life experience
- 1:05:25Speaker 21: to be able to bring us certain shows. So I think,
- 1:05:26Speaker 21: you know, right now she's in a place where she's like,
- 1:05:28Speaker 21: I'm over this.
- 1:05:29Speaker 6: I saw that clip and I'm like, okay, this clip
- 1:05:31Speaker 6: is made for rage bait because there's no context to it.
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: Did she break that down? Well, she did, but Variety
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: only posted that clip.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: On purpose. On purpose, of course.
- 1:05:39Speaker 21: What I think is happening, though, because this is presented
- 1:05:41Speaker 21: by Lifetime, I feel like the whole award, the whole
- 1:05:44Speaker 21: ceremony will be available later on Lifetime.
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: But, yeah, I couldn't find a full clip.
- 1:05:48Speaker 21: But the Variety article quotes the climate disaster politics in
- 1:05:52Speaker 21: a right way.
- 1:05:53Speaker 8: That's so funny.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
- 1:05:55Speaker 4: Setting it up for everybody to be mad at Issa.
- 1:05:57Speaker 4: But people be rocking with Issa on stuff like that.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: No, I know, I know.
- 1:06:01Speaker 14: But, you know, a blatant statement like that, everything is
- 1:06:03Speaker 14: a man's fault and men's fault, you know.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: In particular, white men.
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: That might be on Fox News by noon.
- 1:06:12Speaker 14: Yeah, like Charlotte said, it's for rage baiting and for,
- 1:06:15Speaker 14: you know.
- 1:06:16Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:06:17Speaker 5: But with the context, it makes sense.
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: Yeah, got you. All right, y'all.
- 1:06:21Speaker 21: Well, that was the latest this hour. Next hour, Drewski
- 1:06:24Speaker 21: sat down for Diary of a CEO. It's a really

- 1:06:31Speaker 21: interview and have some real conversation because that's what it was.

- 1:07:31Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. That's disgusting.
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: How's it disgusting to floss?
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: It's disgusting not to floss.
- 1:07:38Speaker 6: On the mic don't you today for thursday september 24th
- 1:07:40Speaker 6: goes to a man named lucas davis okay he was
- 1:07:43Speaker 6: the ceo of an indianapolis-based company called sigma nursing and
- 1:07:47Speaker 6: he's been fired terminated discharged dismissed relieved of duties because
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: he was accused of saying racial slurs now i saw
- 1:07:54Speaker 6: this story on fox 59 in indianapolis and it connected to.
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: Uh therese garnier so let's go to her for the
- 1:08:01Speaker 5: report please.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: Here's the first time you called me a nigga I
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: was like, oh, is that a conversation making you s * * t?
- 1:08:07Speaker 7: And he goes, yeah, he said a good s * *
- 1:08:09Speaker 7: t boy always does.
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: This is Lucas M.
- 1:08:12Speaker 24: Davis, CEO of Sigma Nursing, an international nursing honor society
- 1:08:17Speaker 24: with more than 150 And according to his own professional profile,
- 1:08:21Speaker 24: Lucas is a diversity champion, passionate about upholding human rights
- 1:08:26Speaker 24: and uncovering unconscious bias. These are private messages provided to
- 1:08:38Speaker 24: me and attributed to Lucas. The black man in this
- 1:08:41Speaker 24: conversation said that it started off sexually, but then Lucas
- 1:08:45Speaker 24: allegedly told him that he was married.
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: And then things went from sexy.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Talk to, I'm keeping them a slave.
- 1:08:52Speaker 24: Somebody come get your CEO. Now before anybody says, maybe
- 1:08:57Speaker 24: it was just a fantasy.
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:08:59Speaker 4: About that.
- 1:08:59Speaker 14: Like yeah i like to keep you know black boys
- 1:09:01Speaker 14: of slaves i've had it before i've done it before.
- 1:09:04Speaker 24: Oh so apparently this wasn't his first trip to the plantation.
- 1:09:10Speaker 6: Wow wow yeah i mean listen i was always taught
- 1:09:13Speaker 6: that your talent will take you where your character can't
- 1:09:15Speaker 6: sustain you OK, you can try to change, but that's
- 1:09:18Speaker 6: just the top layer, man. You was who you was
- 1:09:21Speaker 6: before you got here.
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: OK, Lucas, you climbed all the way up the corporate
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: ladder to become a CEO, only to get knocked.
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: Off the ladder by your own prejudices. I guess sexual desires.
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: OK, see, that's what never really comes through in your
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: interviews for these positions.
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: Like, you know, you can do your background checks, your
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: performance reviews. You can navigate all that. But if you
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: are used to referring to black people as the N-word,
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: then guess what? Eventually you will get caught calling a
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: black person the N-word.
- 1:09:48Speaker 6: OK, I don't care about your executive leadership. I don't
- 1:09:51Speaker 6: care about your MBA position. I'm sure you probably got
- 1:09:54Speaker 6: rid of the DEI seminar. I don't care about none
- 1:09:58Speaker 6: of that. Eventually, CEO or not, if calling people the
- 1:10:02Speaker 6: N-word is in you, it's going to come out of you.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: And the irony of you being the CEO of Sigma.
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: Nursing, an organization whose stated values include love, courage, and honor.
- 1:10:15Speaker 5: Love, courage, and honor. Three traits you need when you
- 1:10:18Speaker 5: are a CEO.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: And that's what I want to discuss this morning.
- 1:10:21Speaker 6: You know, being the CEO, when you are the CEO,
- 1:10:24Speaker 6: this isn't just about somebody saying an offensive word.
- 1:10:27Speaker 5: CEOs have the power. OK, and this is how things
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: like racial discrimination happen.
- 1:10:34Speaker 6: If you ever question how racism can still affect workplaces
- 1:10:37Speaker 6: when everybody knows you're not supposed to discriminate, it's because
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: discrimination doesn't always introduce itself. OK, racism doesn't walk into
- 1:10:44Speaker 6: the office wearing a white hood. Sometimes it walks in
- 1:10:48Speaker 6: wearing a suit. Sometimes it has an executive title. Sometimes
- 1:10:51Speaker 6: it's deciding who gets hired, who gets promoted, who gets mentored,
- 1:10:55Speaker 6: who gets paid what, who gets another opportunity after making
- 1:10:59Speaker 6: a mistake. Who gets described as passionate and who gets
- 1:11:04Speaker 6: described as aggressive. Who is considered leadership material? Who somehow
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: is never the right fit? That's why what people in
- 1:11:13Speaker 6: positions of power say and feel is privately matters because
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: they decide all of that, okay? Because if you allegedly
- 1:11:20Speaker 6: talk about a group of people one way when they're
- 1:11:21Speaker 6: not around, people have every right to wonder, does that
- 1:11:25Speaker 6: attitude disappear when you get to work? The answer is
- 1:11:27Speaker 6: probably nope, okay? Does it disappear when a black employee's
- 1:11:30Speaker 6: resume lands on your desk?
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: Probably not, all right?
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: Does it disappear during salary negotiations? Does it disappear when.
- 1:11:36Speaker 6: Two employees of two different races make the same mistake
- 1:11:39Speaker 6: and you're deciding who deserves another chance. Does it disappear
- 1:11:41Speaker 6: when you're deciding who's ready for management? That's the uncomfortable
- 1:11:45Speaker 6: part about discrimination, people.
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: OK, you just never know.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: Somebody doesn't have to call you the N-word to your
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: face to potentially discriminate against you. OK, bias can smile
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: at you. Bias might shake your hand. Bias might even
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: tell you they enjoyed interviewing you. And then bias can
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: tell you, we decided to go in another direction, though.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: And you can be.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: Overqualified for the position and walk around wondering what qualifications
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: you were missing.
- 1:12:10Speaker 6: And you probably weren't missing any. Hidden prejudice in somebody
- 1:12:14Speaker 6: with power. is more consequential than some random racist yelling
- 1:12:18Speaker 6: the N-word in the street, okay? A random racist can
- 1:12:21Speaker 6: ruin your afternoon, but a racist with institutional.
- 1:12:24Speaker 5: Power can ruin your life, okay?
- 1:12:27Speaker 8: All right?
- 1:12:27Speaker 6: Now, I'm not saying every person who has ever said
- 1:12:30Speaker 6: something racist automatically... you know, discriminated against somebody professionally. But
- 1:12:34Speaker 6: when allegations like this surface about somebody who had that
- 1:12:38Speaker 6: much authority, it creates a legitimate question about judgment and
- 1:12:41Speaker 6: trust because your private beliefs, you know.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: They don't, you know, clock out when you clock in. Okay.
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: Character isn't just what you say when the microphone is on.
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: Character is what you're comfortable saying when you think the
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: mic is off. And if you're fortunate enough to reach
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: a position where your decisions can affect thousands of people
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: understand something okay you got to protect that all right
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: the higher you climb the more your judgment matters okay
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: you want the title you want the.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Authority you want that money all right you want those
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: three letters after your name ceo.
- 1:13:11Speaker 6: Then you got to inherit the responsibility that comes with
- 1:13:14Speaker 6: them all right lucas davis spent an entire career getting
- 1:13:17Speaker 6: those three letters and according to sigma after its investigation
- 1:13:21Speaker 6: the board unanimously decided he shouldn't have those three letters
- 1:13:25Speaker 6: anymore So please, give former Sigma Nursing CEO Lucas Davis
- 1:13:30Speaker 6: the biggest e-haw.
- 1:13:33Speaker 7: Hey.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 1:13:37Speaker 5: You can't run from yourself. You cannot run from yourself.

- 1:14:32Speaker 3: Well, what's your question for Jess?
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: So first I want to say, Jess, I was at
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: your show in Baltimore. So me and my fiance was
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: the first ones.
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: Hey, did you have fun? Was that funny? Let's talk about.
- 1:14:43Speaker 10: The real thing.
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: Thank you, baby.
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: Now what's going on? I need me and him having
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: a little debate. So he thinks that we should be
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: having sex twice a day, morning and night, every day.
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: So I'm saying that four to five times a week
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: is plenty. But I want y'all to keep in mind,
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: we both work from home. So I guess in his mind,
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: we got unlimited access to each other. But I'm like, sir,
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: that's a little bit too much. But let me also say,
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: on my cycles, You don't even slow down. So my
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: question is, who's being realistic here?
- 1:15:21Speaker 14: You know, listen, it's so crazy, right? This may sound
- 1:15:25Speaker 14: a little weird, but when we're on our menstrual.
- 1:15:28Speaker 4: They want it even more. I don't know why. It's
- 1:15:31Speaker 4: like they be in heat. Like, girl.
- 1:15:33Speaker 14: So that may I don't know what it is about
- 1:15:34Speaker 14: our pheromones and our and, you know, that that menstrual
- 1:15:37Speaker 14: that that pulls them toward us even more.
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: But they get even more. We're going through the period,
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: all right?
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: Because we can shoot the club up.
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: Say it again?
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: Because we can shoot the club up and not have
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: to worry about any consequences.
- 1:15:48Speaker 14: I don't know, but even through the red light, it's crazy.
- 1:15:51Speaker 14: I'm still trying to figure it out.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Period don't stop nothing but a sentence. Girl.
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: I feel you.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: I feel you.
- 1:15:56Speaker 15: All right.
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: Now, twice a day.
- 1:15:59Speaker 14: First of all, let me ask how old are y'all,
- 1:16:00Speaker 14: if you don't mind me asking.
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: We can't see your face or anything.
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: How old are y'all?
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: So, I'm 44 and he's 47.
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay. He wants it. Listen, I'm 34.
- 1:16:11Speaker 13: Okay.
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: And I don't want to be doing it twice a
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: day anymore. Like I'm telling you, first of all, I'm
- 1:16:16Speaker 4: too busy. I'd be tired.
- 1:16:17Speaker 14: Like, you know, I'm not even, I don't even get to,
- 1:16:20Speaker 14: I don't have the luxury of sleeping with my husband every,
- 1:16:23Speaker 14: every single night. But even still, if I, if I did,
- 1:16:26Speaker 14: I still couldn't, I couldn't give him twice a day,
- 1:16:29Speaker 14: four or five times a week. I think you're right.
- 1:16:31Speaker 4: You wanted something. I like that.
- 1:16:33Speaker 10: Okay.
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: Do you have kids, ma'am?
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: We do. We actually have a five-year-old.
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: Y'all need to get some hobbies.
- 1:16:39Speaker 11: Damn.
- 1:16:39Speaker 14: I know that's for all day. First of all, a five-year-old, congratulations.
- 1:16:44Speaker 14: In your 40s, baby.
- 1:16:45Speaker 18: Yeah, so it's good. God is good.
- 1:16:50Speaker 4: God is good.
- 1:16:51Speaker 7: Yes, he is.
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: But I think you should.
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: So that's why this is a debate. But it is
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: a healthy relationship.
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: Now, listen. Now, listen.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: It's a healthy, sexy relationship, needless to say.
- 1:17:00Speaker 14: Now, listen, to meet him halfway, right, and for him
- 1:17:02Speaker 14: to meet you halfway, I think you should present this
- 1:17:06Speaker 14: to him. The combination should be, right, okay, since you
- 1:17:10Speaker 14: don't want to participate in penetration twice a day, you can.
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: Still stick to the four or.
- 1:17:17Speaker 14: Five times a week penetration and then Just give some
- 1:17:20Speaker 14: bomb-ass Felicio once a day.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Girl, that's a.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Whole other discussion, too. Listen, I didn't want to go there.
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: Keita, I will be honest, though, Keita.
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: The fact that he's still attracted to you in a
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: way where he wants it all the time.
- 1:17:34Speaker 15: Yes.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: And that you could do it all the time.
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: If I work from home and I can have sex
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: with my wife all day long, I would love to.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: But, you know, I work.
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: We got, you know, six kids.
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: There's still other things to do, even though you work
- 1:17:46Speaker 4: from home, Envy.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: Yeah, but if I.
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: Did not have six kids and I work from home, yes,
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: I'd be trying to get in with my wife.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: Two, three times a day.
- 1:17:53Speaker 14: I get that, but that doesn't mean that she's always
- 1:17:56Speaker 14: up for it. Our bodies don't work like yours.
- 1:17:58Speaker 4: You understand what I'm saying?
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: It's, um, but basically throw it in a circle, keep

- 1:19:02Speaker 3: or any type of issue, call her now.
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: It's The Breakfast Club.
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 1:19:17Speaker 4: It's getting very much messy.
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: Let me fix this. Morning, everybody.
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Jess Fix
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: My Mess. We have Tay on the line. Tay, what's
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: your question for Jess?
- 1:19:29Speaker 18: Hi, good morning, y'all.
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: Good morning, Tay.
- 1:19:31Speaker 18: Good morning. So I was calling because, so I had
- 1:19:34Speaker 18: this issue. Me and this girl, we were really close.
- 1:19:39Speaker 18: It was only about three, four of us in this group,
- 1:19:42Speaker 18: and we were really close. I told this girl everything.
- 1:19:45Speaker 18: She knew about a lot of personal events in my life.
- 1:19:47Speaker 18: And she was also cool with my ex. So, we
- 1:19:50Speaker 18: all had mutual friends. So, basically, she started coming around
- 1:19:55Speaker 18: us because I brought her around. Like, she wasn't cool
- 1:19:59Speaker 18: with him. She was just cool with me. And we
- 1:20:02Speaker 18: were all just, like, friends. We would hang out. So,
- 1:20:05Speaker 18: me and him broke up. And I spent about, like,
- 1:20:09Speaker 18: two years trying to get over it because, like, I
- 1:20:11Speaker 18: was hurt bad. Me and this, me and Bennett got together.
- 1:20:14Speaker 18: for like six years. So we broke up and basically
- 1:20:18Speaker 18: like she just started being real distant. Like she didn't
- 1:20:21Speaker 18: want to come outside. She didn't want to hang around
- 1:20:24Speaker 18: me in the other group. Like she just became real
- 1:20:27Speaker 18: distant and she basically said she was focusing like on
- 1:20:29Speaker 18: her life and her priorities.
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: Cool.
- 1:20:32Speaker 18: So later on, so I had my edge blocked. Later on,
- 1:20:37Speaker 18: I found out that somebody came and told me that,
- 1:20:40Speaker 18: you know, he started giving her flowers and he started,
- 1:20:43Speaker 18: you know, talking to her and they started becoming really close.
- 1:20:46Speaker 18: So I thought it was like a business relationship because
- 1:20:49Speaker 18: he was like putting money in her pockets or whatever,
- 1:20:51Speaker 18: helping her get through life and stuff like that. So
- 1:20:54Speaker 18: I come to find out that they started talking whenever,
- 1:20:57Speaker 18: I don't know when this happened, they started talking and
- 1:20:59Speaker 18: she texted me like a couple days before her birthday,
- 1:21:04Speaker 18: she texted me, and she was like, I just wanted
- 1:21:06Speaker 18: to let you know that such and such expressed his
- 1:21:10Speaker 18: feelings to me, and I don't know how I want
- 1:21:12Speaker 18: to go about it. I don't know if, you know,
- 1:21:15Speaker 18: if it's something that I want to pursue, but I
- 1:21:17Speaker 18: am interested, and I just wanted to let you know
- 1:21:19Speaker 18: so it's no funny acting, like you're not acting funny
- 1:21:23Speaker 18: towards me. So I said, okay, do what you got
- 1:21:26Speaker 18: to do. Block the haven't talked since. I just felt
- 1:21:29Speaker 18: like if you were my friend for that long, like,
- 1:21:32Speaker 18: why would you feel like it's okay to pursue a
- 1:21:35Speaker 18: relationship with my ex? And I told you everything that
- 1:21:37Speaker 18: we've been through in that six years that we've been together.
- 1:21:40Speaker 4: But see, that's why she isolated herself from you. You
- 1:21:43Speaker 4: know what I mean?
- 1:21:43Speaker 14: She was already gearing up for this. Like, obviously, they've
- 1:21:47Speaker 14: had eyes for each other for a while. I'm not
- 1:21:49Speaker 14: going to sit here and say that they were dealing
- 1:21:50Speaker 14: with each other while y'all were dealing with each other.
- 1:21:53Speaker 14: You know, while y'all were together. But that's why she,
- 1:21:55Speaker 14: that was just the guilt in her. That's why she
- 1:21:56Speaker 14: distanced herself. You know, because she was over there talking
- 1:21:59Speaker 14: to him and they were getting to know each other
- 1:22:01Speaker 14: and easing into a relationship themselves while you were grieving
- 1:22:05Speaker 14: the relationship that you just, you ended up, that ended
- 1:22:07Speaker 14: up ending, you know, with him. And that's the only
- 1:22:11Speaker 14: explanation for that. Now, would you have felt better if
- 1:22:15Speaker 14: she didn't tell you?
- 1:22:16Speaker 18: Honestly, I would have found out anyway. So her telling
- 1:22:20Speaker 18: me and then me finding out, I feel like it
- 1:22:22Speaker 18: would have been the same reaction because it's just like,
- 1:22:24Speaker 18: we are more.
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: Why?
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: Why would you do that? Of all the men out here,
- 1:22:27Speaker 4: why would it have to be somebody that I was with?
- 1:22:29Speaker 14: And I was with for six years. I wasn't just
- 1:22:31Speaker 14: talking to this man. I was in a relationship with him.
- 1:22:34Speaker 18: Exactly.
- 1:22:35Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: Now, have y'all ever had.
- 1:22:38Speaker 14: Any type of, like, situations where y'all did some stuff together?
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: All three of y'all?
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: Um.
- 1:22:45Speaker 18: Yeah, like, we would, like, we would, like, hang out.
- 1:22:48Speaker 18: We all went to the same school, so we would
- 1:22:50Speaker 18: hang out. We would chill. We would, like, you know,
- 1:22:53Speaker 18: he hooked her up with his cousin. That didn't work out. So, like,
- 1:22:57Speaker 18: we would all be, like, doing couple stuff together. And
- 1:23:00Speaker 18: then I guess her and her cousin didn't work out,
- 1:23:02Speaker 18: and they gave it a try.
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: Okay, no, that's what I meant, though.
- 1:23:05Speaker 14: Intimately, I mean, like, were you ever open to, like,
- 1:23:08Speaker 14: your friend and your man and you doing something together?
- 1:23:10Speaker 20: No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right.
- 1:23:13Speaker 4: Well, then, yeah, she just dirty. I mean, that's nasty.
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: That's what it is. I mean, so is he, but
- 1:23:19Speaker 4: we're going to expect men to be men sometimes. You know,
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: I mean, that's just, you.
- 1:23:22Speaker 14: Know, her loyalty was supposed to have been with you.
- 1:23:24Speaker 14: His loyalty was supposed to have been to you.
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 1:23:27Speaker 14: But I guess when you break up with somebody now
- 1:23:30Speaker 14: that they are no longer, like, they are no longer
- 1:23:33Speaker 14: obligated to be loyal to you.
- 1:23:35Speaker 4: But your friend, that was some dirty-ish. That wasn't cool.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 1:23:40Speaker 14: I think you dodged a bullet, you ask me. You
- 1:23:43Speaker 14: don't need them type of people around you. And I
- 1:23:45Speaker 14: hope this opened up your eyes to why you don't
- 1:23:50Speaker 14: put your friends or anybody in your relationship. I've lost
- 1:23:56Speaker 14: friends because of this as well. Not the way you
- 1:24:00Speaker 14: lost your friend. I ain't never had no friend that
- 1:24:03Speaker 14: was bold enough to play with me like that. That's crazy.
- 1:24:07Speaker 14: That I know of, right? Because bitches be sneaky. But
- 1:24:10Speaker 14: I will honestly say, yeah, this.
- 1:24:12Speaker 4: Is why you don't.
- 1:24:13Speaker 14: You ever hear one of them great aunts or them
- 1:24:15Speaker 14: elderly women in your family, like, uh-uh, don't you bring
- 1:24:17Speaker 14: nobody around your man.
- 1:24:18Speaker 4: Don't you ever have no, your.
- 1:24:20Speaker 14: Homegirl fell up on hard times. Don't move that woman
- 1:24:22Speaker 14: in with your man.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 1:24:24Speaker 4: Like, just, I believe in those things.
- 1:24:26Speaker 18: It's just a matter of, like, how do I get
- 1:24:28Speaker 18: rid of, like, this anger? Because, like, I really don't
- 1:24:31Speaker 18: care for the relationship. I just care about the disloyalty.
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: For the friend, right? Not the guy. For the friend,
- 1:24:37Speaker 4: not your ex.
- 1:24:38Speaker 18: Yeah, for the friend.
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: You just got to grieve. Yeah, you got to grieve.
- 1:24:43Speaker 14: Now, listen, y'all always say we're not resorting to violence.
- 1:24:47Speaker 14: And every day I'm trying to throw away with that
- 1:24:51Speaker 14: part of my life.
- 1:24:52Speaker 4: But shorty had to see me. That's crazy. But not
- 1:24:56Speaker 4: even over the guy. It's the principle. It's the, like,
- 1:24:59Speaker 4: girl code. Like, me and you, like.
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: Yo, we was friends.
- 1:25:03Speaker 4: Y'all were friends before you and that man met, right? Right. Yeah,
- 1:25:07Speaker 4: you feel me? So I'm not going to sit and
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: tell you that.
- 1:25:10Speaker 14: Well, you know, it'll be all right. Just, you know,
- 1:25:12Speaker 14: things do get better with time. But if you want
- 1:25:14Speaker 14: to grieve a relationship, you know, in the most appropriate way,
- 1:25:18Speaker 14: I would say go get therapy. Like, go sit down
- 1:25:20Speaker 14: and talk to somebody professional about it. Because they can
- 1:25:22Speaker 14: help you sort through those feelings.
- 1:25:23Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 1:25:24Speaker 14: When you feel angry, I'm sure there are certain meditations
- 1:25:28Speaker 14: or certain things that you can do, certain outlets that
- 1:25:33Speaker 14: you can do.
- 1:25:34Speaker 4: You know, to not resort to the violence.
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: I know that.
- 1:25:37Speaker 4: I know that it hurts. I know it hurts.
- 1:25:39Speaker 14: But Like I said, think of it, of two bullets
- 1:25:42Speaker 14: that you dodged, girl, because you better off without them.
- 1:25:46Speaker 4: People, both of them.
- 1:25:47Speaker 7: You're absolutely right.
- 1:25:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sorry about that, babe.
- 1:25:51Speaker 18: That's all right. Thank you. I hope y'all have a
- 1:25:53Speaker 18: good day, though.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: You too, now. You too, babe.

- 1:26:31Speaker 1: Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On The Breakfast Club.
- 1:26:36Speaker 21: So guys, Drewski, he sat down with Stephen Barlett for
- 1:26:40Speaker 21: Diary of a CEO. And I've honestly never heard Drewski
- 1:26:44Speaker 21: in this way. Like it is a very in-depth interview.
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: Very vulnerable.
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: Very vulnerable.
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:26:50Speaker 21: So please go check it out. We're going to listen
- 1:26:51Speaker 21: to some of it right now. So a part of
- 1:26:54Speaker 21: the interview, Drewski gets into some of the rejection that
- 1:26:56Speaker 21: he's had to deal with in the industry.
- 1:26:58Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to Drewski on rejection.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: I was reading that you were rejected by both Netflix
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: and Amazon. Yeah. Early on.
- 1:27:06Speaker 16: Years and years of proposals. And I had different FX proposals.
- 1:27:12Speaker 16: We were supposed to get a show with FX.
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: It was a no.
- 1:27:14Speaker 8: We were supposed to do a movie with Amazon.
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: It was a no.
- 1:27:17Speaker 8: We were supposed to do multiple different projects with Netflix.
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:27:21Speaker 16: And we just never gave up. And I eventually said,
- 1:27:24Speaker 16: instead of going and buying a car or another house,
- 1:27:27Speaker 16: I'm going to invest in myself. And I decided to
- 1:27:30Speaker 16: just go ahead. All these show ideas that I had,
- 1:27:34Speaker 16: I'm going to do it on YouTube and spend my
- 1:27:36Speaker 16: own money to invest into it. And that is essentially
- 1:27:39Speaker 16: what I did. And I think that's brought to you.
- 1:27:42Speaker 16: Could have been auditions. That's brought to you.
- 1:27:43Speaker 5: Could have been love.
- 1:27:44Speaker 8: That's brought to you. Could have been house. Could have
- 1:27:46Speaker 8: been daddy.
- 1:27:47Speaker 16: Taking it to another level with all the sketches and
- 1:27:49Speaker 16: the production I've done and the millions of dollars I've spent.
- 1:27:51Speaker 16: It's like, I'm going to just bet on myself.
- 1:27:53Speaker 8: And then they cool. Yeah, it's a whole different story now.
- 1:27:56Speaker 16: Now they want to purchase these shows that we've made
- 1:27:59Speaker 16: and do more in the future.
- 1:28:01Speaker 8: Now it's a bidding war.
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: Guess what, Amazon and Netflix?
- 1:28:05Speaker 5: It's going to cost you now.
- 1:28:07Speaker 6: Drewski is the epitome of bet on yourself. He found
- 1:28:10Speaker 6: his lane, he found his audience, and he super served
- 1:28:13Speaker 6: that audience. He's consistent in regards to content, and most importantly,
- 1:28:17Speaker 6: he's built his own infrastructure. And I cannot wait to
- 1:28:20Speaker 6: see which one of these platforms Gives Drewski a zillion dollars.
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: That's right. Very, very smart. Well deserved.
- 1:28:26Speaker 14: And a lot of the other content creators and things
- 1:28:29Speaker 14: like that, you know, they can learn from this.
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: This is the formula.
- 1:28:32Speaker 14: Because now, you know, we're not in the times when
- 1:28:35Speaker 14: we got to wait for like, you know, a Netflix
- 1:28:38Speaker 14: or Amazon.
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: Or even these.
- 1:28:40Speaker 14: Big production companies like a DreamWorks, a Lionsgate, a Warner
- 1:28:42Speaker 14: Brothers to come get us and, you know, and showcase
- 1:28:46Speaker 14: your talent. You can do it yourself. That's why I
- 1:28:48Speaker 14: love the space that content creators are in right now.
- 1:28:51Speaker 4: Shout out to Drewski. That's dope as hell.
- 1:28:53Speaker 21: Well, I want to also to get into like the
- 1:28:56Speaker 21: beginning of everything for him because I've never heard him
- 1:28:58Speaker 21: talk about, you know, what he came from as far
- 1:28:59Speaker 21: as like his family dynamic and where his comedy came from.
- 1:29:03Speaker 21: So he gets very vulnerable about his household and living
- 1:29:06Speaker 21: with an abusive father.
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
- 1:29:09Speaker 16: He's very old school about his teachings and how he
- 1:29:11Speaker 16: goes about doing it. So he has a short temper.
- 1:29:13Speaker 16: He'll be like, go get me a Phillips screwdriver and
- 1:29:16Speaker 16: I'll go get a regular screwdriver. He's like, this is
- 1:29:17Speaker 16: not a Phillips screwdriver. Bam, upside the head. Then my
- 1:29:20Speaker 16: brother goes, he's like, I want you to go get
- 1:29:22Speaker 16: me Phillips screwdriver. My brother goes and gets a hammer.
- 1:29:25Speaker 7: Bam!
- 1:29:26Speaker 8: Upside down.
- 1:29:27Speaker 16: I learned that this is not a normal thing. And
- 1:29:30Speaker 16: I didn't know that until we would go to like
- 1:29:32Speaker 16: neighborhood parties. My dad would be like, oh, these are
- 1:29:34Speaker 16: my boys right here. He'll reach out his hand and
- 1:29:36Speaker 16: we'll flinch like that because it became a normal thing
- 1:29:38Speaker 16: for him to always lift up his hand.
- 1:29:40Speaker 8: Like if we said the wrong thing.
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: So you watched your mother get hit as well? For sure.
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: For sure.
- 1:29:45Speaker 16: Not, not physically hit, but I've seen different things of
- 1:29:48Speaker 16: like the choking and pushing her out the door and
- 1:29:51Speaker 16: then locking the door and then And I got to
- 1:29:53Speaker 16: go and be the one staring at her at the door.
- 1:29:56Speaker 8: And she's like, open it. And he's like, you better
- 1:29:57Speaker 8: not open that door.
- 1:29:58Speaker 16: And it was a lot of different situations of trying
- 1:30:02Speaker 16: to figure it out at a very young age. And
- 1:30:04Speaker 16: it started so young that some things are kind of
- 1:30:08Speaker 16: blurry for me. But I do know that my comedy
- 1:30:11Speaker 16: comes from that comforting type of space.
- 1:30:15Speaker 20: Damn.
- 1:30:15Speaker 6: Yeah, that's like he needs to give his daddy five percent.
- 1:30:18Speaker 6: It sounds like a manager that made a legend like
- 1:30:22Speaker 6: Joe Jackson.
- 1:30:22Speaker 21: He talks about trauma. Yeah, I mean, it is trauma.
- 1:30:25Speaker 21: But he does talk about, you know, him. His dad
- 1:30:27Speaker 21: have gone to a place where, like, he's had to forgive.
- 1:30:29Speaker 3: His dad for five minutes.
- 1:30:32Speaker 21: But he also talks about his brother and some of
- 1:30:34Speaker 21: the trauma that his brother dealt with and how that
- 1:30:36Speaker 21: goes into his comedy as well.
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to that.
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: Sadly, in my brother's case, that went a negative direction.
- 1:30:42Speaker 16: He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as we
- 1:30:47Speaker 16: continued to go through puberty and got older. Whereas for me,
- 1:30:51Speaker 16: I feel like I might have found a coping mechanism
- 1:30:53Speaker 16: with comedy and maybe he never found that coping mechanism before.
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: From that trauma.
- 1:30:59Speaker 16: And I feel like trauma can sometimes give you the
- 1:31:02Speaker 16: good route or the negative route. And I feel like
- 1:31:04Speaker 16: a lot of that going on in our house early
- 1:31:07Speaker 16: on may have played a role in him being diagnosed
- 1:31:09Speaker 16: with that. Even with him, like I think early on,
- 1:31:12Speaker 16: I would always try to make him laugh because I
- 1:31:15Speaker 16: knew we were in a up situation. One time I
- 1:31:18Speaker 16: watched my brother get beat for wetting the bed. And
- 1:31:21Speaker 16: it was the simplest thing. And I couldn't understand. I
- 1:31:23Speaker 16: was like, why is he getting beat this bad? It
- 1:31:26Speaker 16: was very far, very not the normal belt type thing.
- 1:31:29Speaker 16: It was very, very far. So I would always try
- 1:31:31Speaker 16: to step in either after or during these moments to
- 1:31:34Speaker 16: try to be like a coping mechanism for him.
- 1:31:36Speaker 5: I have to listen to that later.
- 1:31:39Speaker 6: Lauren, next time, could you start with those two and
- 1:31:41Speaker 6: then end with him talking about betting on himself?
- 1:31:43Speaker 4: You know what's crazy?
- 1:31:45Speaker 21: We were back there trying to debate how to start
- 1:31:48Speaker 21: it and how to go into it.
- 1:31:48Speaker 5: Start with the dark and end with the light.
- 1:31:50Speaker 4: But then y'all let me start with the light, end
- 1:31:52Speaker 4: with the dark. It depends on the day.
- 1:31:54Speaker 5: I would like to end on a high.
- 1:31:56Speaker 14: Either way, I love how vulnerable he was to put
- 1:32:00Speaker 14: that out there. Because, you know, a lot of people
- 1:32:02Speaker 14: see you and see what you put out here and
- 1:32:05Speaker 14: put your gift and your talent, and they have no
- 1:32:07Speaker 14: idea What your upbringing was like, what you're dealing with
- 1:32:10Speaker 14: behind closed doors and everything.
- 1:32:11Speaker 4: So, I mean, this is a motivation testament as well,
- 1:32:15Speaker 4: you know. Shout out to him.
- 1:32:16Speaker 14: And then also sending healing energy to his brother, you know,
- 1:32:21Speaker 14: because they had an even harsher effect on his brother,
- 1:32:24Speaker 14: the abuse.
- 1:32:25Speaker 4: From their dad.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: And I would beg parents out there. I know, you know, parents,
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: as parents, we go through a lot, right? We're traumatized.
- 1:32:31Speaker 3: We go through stress. And a lot of times we
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: don't understand and we don't know. We take it out
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: on our kids and we see it and hear it
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: all the time. You just got to remember when you
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: see or hear things like this, hopefully you look at
- 1:32:41Speaker 3: yourself and make sure that you're not doing that to
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: your kids. You're not taking out what you're going through
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: or the things that you've been through on your kids.
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: Because as you can see, it could affect their life,
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: you know, sometimes good and sometimes horribly, you know.
- 1:32:53Speaker 14: And Lauren, did he say, I don't know if you watched,
- 1:32:55Speaker 14: did you watch the whole thing? Did he say where
- 1:32:56Speaker 14: he and his dad is now with the relationship?
- 1:32:58Speaker 21: He did talk about that. He said that they're in
- 1:33:00Speaker 21: a good place now that he's had to learn to
- 1:33:02Speaker 21: forgive him.
- 1:33:03Speaker 4: For certain things. But I didn't finish the interview, but
- 1:33:05Speaker 4: he talked about that in the part that I did see, yes.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to watch the.
- 1:33:08Speaker 6: Whole thing too, but those clips, man, it makes me
- 1:33:10Speaker 6: love Drewski's story more because he's not making any excuses. Like,
- 1:33:13Speaker 6: there are so many people who make excuses about why...
- 1:33:17Speaker 6: they aren't where they want to be.
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: Yeah. He's not making none whatsoever. You know what I mean?
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: And one of these platforms, okay, I don't know if
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: it's going to be YouTube, Netflix, oh, they're going to
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: have to pay like Drewski ways.
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: They're going to pay.
- 1:33:30Speaker 11: Okay?
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:33:30Speaker 5: Oh, they're going to have to pay, all right?
- 1:33:32Speaker 6: One of them is going to partner with Drewski, and
- 1:33:34Speaker 6: he's going to be in such a great position because
- 1:33:36Speaker 6: he's going to have all the creative control.
- 1:33:37Speaker 3: Yeah, he don't need it.
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: He already got his own infrastructure.
- 1:33:39Speaker 5: What the hell are you going to tell Drewski? What
- 1:33:40Speaker 5: can any of these companies tell Drewski?
- 1:33:42Speaker 4: Yep.
- 1:33:43Speaker 5: Just give him the money and get out.
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: Of the way. That's right.
- 1:33:45Speaker 15: I agree.
- 1:33:45Speaker 4: I'm very proud of him. Me too.

- 1:36:03Speaker 3: Charlamagne, you got a positive note? I do have a
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: positive note, man, and it's simply this. Avoid people who
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: are addicted to misery.
- 1:36:09Speaker 6: The ones who complain about everything, expect the worst, blame
- 1:36:12Speaker 6: everyone and somehow turn every good moment into something negative.
- 1:36:15Speaker 6: Spend enough time around that energy and it starts becoming
- 1:36:18Speaker 6: your inner voice. Protect your spirit. Stay close to people
- 1:36:21Speaker 6: who look for solutions.
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: Laugh easily.
- 1:36:23Speaker 5: Speak well about the future and still believe life can
- 1:36:25Speaker 5: get better.
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: Energy is contagious. Choose the kind that makes you feel
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: more alive. Have a great day. Breakfast Club, bitches!
- 1:36:32Speaker 3: You done finished or y'all done?
- 1:36:34Speaker 5: Woke up, woke up, wake you up.
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: Wake that ass up. Program your alarm to Power 105.1
