• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of the conversations that shake the room.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Baby.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: So today, on our episode, and on every episode that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we do, we kick it off by checking in behind
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the scenes to the Grind. Y'all, let's get it so
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: checking in behind the scenes of the Grind today. I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: am feeling very well rested. Finally, let me tell y'all
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: something coming out of that jay Z weekend. And I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: didn't even do all three days. I don't know why.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I felt like I just did a whole bit with
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: jay Z, like.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I'd have been locked down out in the yard for
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours. Maybe because the last day
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I was there I was in heels for that was
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: like what, like, okay, if I got there at eight,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: left around three all those hours, Lord have mercy.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Why did I wear heels?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I wore heels because the first night I told you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: guys on the last episode of the Latest. If you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: guys didn't take a listen when we broke down, you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: know all of the doors stopping and the door shutting
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: down and people bum rushing the doors.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I was outside as that was happening.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: That literally started to happen as I arrived, so I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: got to kind of see everything take place in real time.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But the reason why I was in here was because Friday,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: when we went to go see jay Z, it was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: so smooth.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I hopped right out the car.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: We went to the entrance, the line was barely long,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and even the line that was long, it was moving.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Security had a handle. It was easy.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Once we got to the suite, we sat right down
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: like I was cool, and I wore flat Sat Day
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: because I anticipated something else. So I think once in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: my mind once it was cool that day, and honestly,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't love my outfit on Friday for jay Z's concert.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I loved the outfit, but I felt like wearing flats
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: with it just didn't do it for me because I'm
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: such a heells girl. So I was like, I don't
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: want to be like that this time around. I want
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to love my outfit. When you love your outfit by
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the way you look, you feel good about, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: all the things that you're doing, and y'all know how
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that goes, especially the ladies listening. So I thought it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was gonna be way more smooth. And then we got
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: there and I saw all the people. The first thing though,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that struck me as like odd, even though they had
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Ben's in all weekend, like get there early, the doors
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: open at like five or six. I saw Yankee Stadium
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: post it, and I'm like, I didn't see this post before,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But I think it's because not even think I know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it's because the attendance was rising as the weekend went along,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Like there were more people that were coming. Because even
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: though the tickets sold out in minutes for jay Z
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and New York, a lot of that sounding people bought
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: tickets to resale, so people were still able to buy tickets.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And then I remember Rock Nation or Live Nation added
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: like four to five thousand more seats on Friday or
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, I know, I think it was Friday. They
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: added more seats, so people were paying to just be
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: there even if you couldn't see, you know, from a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: certain way or certain dame or whatever the case may be.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So way more people there, so I just didn't expect
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it to be as insane as it was. But uh,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: did my body justice to actually go to sleep yesterday
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and do it? Okay, rest is the key because I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and I think when I hear people say, oh, you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: need to rest, I'm like, okay, as you get older,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: those are things that you prioritize. When I say, I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: feel the complete difference in my body from yesterday to today.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Even my thinking, my think, through my attitude, everything is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: different from the day before this episode to right now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So I in real time, this is probably the first
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: time where I ever realized how much different I feel
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with rest. And I think because normally I don't prioritize
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: taking the time to get the rest the way that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I should. I do it in like different spurts, so
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I might take a little nap, or my schedule a weekend.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: It's is still this time. I was like, no, we.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Shutting everything off in bead Bite latest nine o'clock, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that was still late compared to how I feeling yesterday.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And I feel the difference. So I'm here, I'm rested,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm ready to go. So let's get on into it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Let's get into the latest, so the Daytime Emmy nominations
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have released. This is really exciting every year when this
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is released because you get to see the shows in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the daytime space. We talk shows, game shows, morning news,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: soap operas, anybody that is occupying storytelling in the daytime space.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You get to see, you know, just what shows are
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: leading that conversation for me as a person that is
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in the space and as a person that wants to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: win an Emmy. Like when I used to work at TMZ,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of the staff that have been there prior
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to me getting there, because most of the people you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: know on that staff, you get there and you say there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: For years and years and years.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of my other like producers that I worked with,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so like the other senior news producers on the news
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: desk and just different people editors, they were all Emmy
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: nominated or Emmy winning because TMZ had won an Emmy
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: while they were there, because TMZ has TMZ Live, which
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: is daytime and I just thought that that was so fire, Like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I thought that it was so fire that all of
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the work that you do, like you can add that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: title to it. So I love to watch who's nominated
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and for what to you know, just just soaking up
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the game because I want to win a Daytime Ammy Emmy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I always tell people I want to be an e
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: GOT winner, And when I say that, people think I'm
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: crazy because I'm not a rapper or a singer.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But I want to do some things in music. I'll
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: figure out what and how.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But I want to do that even if it's just sinking,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like even if I am just the person that is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: creating soundtracks to stories that are being.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Told that get me that that g in egot. Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So Daytime Emmys were announced in the Standouts The View Now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: The View was nominated in the space of Outstanding Daytime
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Talk Series. Now along with this, in this category you
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: have the third hour of The Today's Show, The Drew
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Barrymore Show, which we know people love The Drew Barrymore Show,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like I think it's just Drew Barrymore in general. She's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: had her moments where people don't always love her, but
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: people love that. People loved that show. The Kelly Clarkson Show,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: which we know is she went through a lot of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the same cancelation conversations around the same time as Sherry
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Shepherd did. This was also following, you know, her husband
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: going through and not winning a very you know, tough
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: battle health battle with cancer, Live with Kelly and Mark,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The Today's Show with Jenna and Friends. And what I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: like about the Today Show is Chanelle Jones is on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: there and we talk a lot about her as a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: black woman in the media space. But shout out to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the girls in the View on the View because they
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: are in that category. Well, shout out to everybody though,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: because these are all shows that I don't think I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: sit and watch cable the definitely not the way I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: used to, but the amounts of time that I think
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it would be it would take to be able to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: sit and rank these shows of like which one I think,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know should take?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: What in me and why?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Like the way that I consume daytime television now is
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: through the Internet and through clips. Yeah, And to be
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: honest with y'all when I'm talking clips just for me
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and what I do and like the shows that like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I tune into just to see like what they have happening?
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Are there a guests there that we can you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: repurpose on the Breakfast Club or on the Latest with
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Long Leave Roads of the podcast, A lot of it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is Today with Jenna and Friends.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of it is the view.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the ones that I'm I'm leaning on
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: most of the time unless they have like some outrageous
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: breaking news or exclusive news or a guest, So maybe
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it'll be one of those two. Now when you go
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to the outstanding daytime talk series hosts, so the women
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: who are hosting these shows, tamer Hall was nominated. You
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: guys know, we did tamarn Hall, So congratulations to her.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And one thing I've been noticing with Tamar and she's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: gotten a lot more consistent on social media. She does
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: these like sit down videos where she's talking you through
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: what she's thinking through and a lot of people when
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: she started to do this, and I think when people
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: started to realize because she's always been active on social
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but it's a lot more consistent with these sit down,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: straight to camera, straight to the people, don't wait to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: be on my show to say it type of videos.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I saw someone post on X shit would be worried
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: about tamer Hall show because why is she doing so
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: much on social media. I just think it's the telling
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of the times. Like in the last category that are
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: talked about. I told you guys, that a lot of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: these shows that are mentioned I don't consume in full
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: on cable if at all.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I'm watching via YouTube.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I'm watching via clips, and I know a lot of
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: these shows uploading full on YouTube.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I know the View does that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I think that it's very smart because that's where a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: lot of people are today. The Jennifer Hutchons Show is
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: also in this Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host category with
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Hudson being nominated. Sharry Shepherd also in this category,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and we know with Sherry Shepherd, for me, this is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: like right on time for her because I mean, she's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a former Emmy winner.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: She won an Emmy when she was with The View.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: She's been nominated, Like you know, she's been down this
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: walk in this road before. But I think it's different
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: when you're sitting on a show and holding steak and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: holding eratime of your own to be in this conversation
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and not even just to be in this conversation because
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of that, but to be in this conversation after your
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: show was canceled in front of the world, right and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: we were trying to figure out why ratings was not
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a conversation because we know and I know because I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: did a story sometime before that when i'd heard inklings
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: about Tamer and Shapry Shepherd's shows and where they were
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: like battling with ratings, that the both of those shows
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and Jenniferson shows were doing very very well. However, what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I was told when I did a lot of research
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and outreach around Shery Shepherds show being canceled was that
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it was a money thing, and that because these shows,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: now do you know, they take these big budgets, because
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they have these big teams. It's not necessary that you
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: have all of that because you got podcasters, you got
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: people doing it for way less and still achieving the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: same things. And hey, the name of the game is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: cut your expenses to build your profit, and they're doing
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that across the board in every industry. So I just
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: think after everything that we watched Sherry go through us
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: not learning about her cancelation on her own show, which
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I still don't think was very fair to her.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I think it just it puts a good cap.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: On that time period of her life to say, I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: walking away from my show, I'm moving on to other things.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But don't forget we walked away with an Emmy nomination
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: as well. We did the damn thing. I think that
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that means a lot, and I know that that means
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a lot to her. So congratulations on the nomination, Sherry
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Gral The hosts of the view We're also nominated as
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: well too in this category, and Kelly Clarkson as well
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in this category. And Sherry posted to X she said,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: somebody please tell me this is not a prank. Daytime
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Emmy nomination for Outstanding Talk Show Hosts. Thank you, Thank
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you to my amazing team and our viewers. Y'all did this.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just allowed one now. If you need me, I'll
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: be flowing two inches off the ground. Hashtag Daytime Emmy
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: hashtag Sarry Shepherd hastagged Sharry Show. Y'all know what else
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that does too. When Sharry Shepherd is trying to figure
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: out where her next move is with her show, which
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: she was very vocal about the fact that she does
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: plan to do, this will not be the last we
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: see her in this space, whether that will be a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: podcast deal, a podcast video, podcast still, or whatever the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: case may be. She now can go in and say
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: whenever the question of her show being canceled is brought up,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: she can go in and say we also were Amy nominated.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Though let's not forget that. I think it helps her.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I mean she has the leverage. Sherry Shepard is not
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: new to the game. People know who she is. She
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: has been successful for some years. But it adds to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the pot, and I'm happy that she has that to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: add into the pop. I'm gonna say to lean on,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: but she has her talent and God and so much
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: other stuff to lean on. But she has that to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: add to the pot, and I'm happy for so congratulations grow.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Now shifting gears a bit.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I talked about jay Z a bit when I opened
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: up with Behind the Scenes of the Grind, and I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: know yesterday we've been talking a bit about whether jay
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Z was going to be fined for going over time
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: or not for the Yankee Stadium show.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Now I have not been able to confirm anything. I
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: have seen some small reporting that that will not happen.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm still working out, still reaching out to figure out
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: if not why, because typically what happens is once you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: hit a certain time period, you are fined or charged
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: for going over certain things. But their insurances and stuff
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: like that in place, and most artists, like a Justin
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: bieberat Coachella. If you guys saw any of that reporting
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: this past Coachella when Justin Bieber performed, he went over
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: on his time and what Coachella said for a lot
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of the artists, you know, it makes more since this
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: happens with Roland Loud too, and a lot of times
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the festival goers or even the talent, they'll say, well,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: let me take the fine. I'll pay you the fine.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It makes more sense, and it's a better investment, a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: better look for me to do that than to short
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: change my fans and all these people who paid and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: flew in and did all the things. And I think
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you know, and I think I know in jay Z situation,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it was about keeping people safe. Now, TMZ did a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: report this morning that talked about Justin and Justin Bieber,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that talked about jay Z and the fact that, honestly,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in the eighth hour, the third show at Yankee Stadium
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: almost did not happen.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Now, let me break down to you guys.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, because you have to think, like duh, right,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: if there's a security breach and all these things are
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: happening and they're having a pause to show for hours,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that is on the table let me break down for
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you guys what was happening from the inside, like for
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: us that were there on the ground. So go back
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and listen to the episode where I had Taylor made it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Who is Our Producer?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: The Latest with Lauren La Rosa on the podcast and
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Beatot Miller, who formerly a part of rat Radar podcast
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: super Well plugged very in the no Hip Hop Journalist.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: On the episode, we talked about the fact that jay
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Z made a decision whether or not to put people
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in danger by starting the show on time and you know,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: upset fans who felt like they were missing the show,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and he made the decision not to do it and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: hold the show for some hours and performed to about
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit over two thirty in the morning. Now
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: when I was standing outside of these gates, I talk
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: about this to bid on the last episode.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: So Desireh Perez, who is you know, one.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Of the big Like what is her exact title?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Is she a president at rock.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Nation or she is she is the CEO and co
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: founder of rock Nation. She comes out and people don't know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Like if you just walk past her, you might not
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: know who she is.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You have to kind of know rock Nation.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Jay Z to people around him to know who she is,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: or just no business and want to celebrate women in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: business because she's a big I was gonna say big,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and y'all, I barely I don't be trying to cuss
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: on the podcast, but she's a big fucking deal. Okay,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So Daz comes out and Daz is she's been essentially
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: directing traffic. And I don't mean literally directing traffic. I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: mean she's given people their marching orders on what to do.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And now when I say people, I mean you had
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: NYPD brass out there who was like Yankee Stadium top
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: level security. You have people's private security because now you
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: have a bunch of celebrities that are also stuck outside
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that are trying to get in. Some of the are
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: performers that are going on stage with jay Z, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: then you have all of these tons of people from
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the community and just his fans that are there trying
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to figure this out, and she's out there just trying
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to make it make sense. She's being very honest with
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: us when she's out there. She's literally saying, I'm trying
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: not to have to cancel this show. They want to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: cancel this show right now. We are trying to do
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: everything in our power to not cancel it. We need
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you guys to cooperate with us. We will open one
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: door and then we will open all of the doors.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: But we need to know that we have things under control.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with y'all. In the midst of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: all that madness and chaos, that right there, that one
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: little piece of honesty right there change the game because
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: people didn't realize, all right, whether or not this happens
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: is on us. Whether or not we get in there
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: is on us. We just got to follow instructions. They
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: then were able to start bringing talent cars. And don't
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, it wasn't all you know what I mean,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Peaches and cream. You had talent stuck outside for a while,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you had that cars stuck outside for a while, you
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: had fans stuck outside still for a while. But things
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: started to actually happen, even if slow. So the idea
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: of the show almost being canceled to me. I'm like,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: when I saw that was a story, I was like, well, duh.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And then I'm like, oh, because you know, most people
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: right now are complaining about the fact that the show
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: was even late, and the things that happened. Now, I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily fully know who's fault it was that these
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: things happened. From what I saw, I'm putting it on
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, in their team and the staff that would
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: have been allotted to Rock Nation to be able to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: cover the amount of people and letting them in. Right,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: if you say you have a stadium that can fill
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: forty to fifty thousand people, and in this stadium has
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: been there forever, your operations should be sharp to the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: point where that is what you can do. Granted, Rock
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Nation comes in with their own sharpness and they facilitate
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: what they need, what they want. But I don't think
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that there was anything. I was literally standing in the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: midst of that crowd of people. Number One'm praying and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: nothing kicked off because I'm like, we all out here
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and this could be really, really bad.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: But also I was sitting there.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Thinking like in this moment, what are they thinking? Like
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: if I'm jay Z talking to my team right now,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what is my work around? Because there's nothing I can
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: do but utilize everything I already have been doing. But
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you got to get people to work with you, because
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: now it's way more people and that's exactly what they did.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We got in, we're able to get into the show.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But to hear that there were like thousands of people
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that got in or tons of people because it was
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: ten thousand people that were outside, but tons of people
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: that got in, Like you're right.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Now, there's videos going viral of people.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Who like enjoyed their concert time without even having a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: ticket because they got in when the doors were bum.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Rushed, And I'm like, well, what was these people doing?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: The line anyway?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And mind you, the people outside wasn't even like the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: people were upset and they wanted to get in, but
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: they wasn't getting too crazy. People really wanted to see
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: jay Z. People just like yo, just let us know
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: what's up, and that's what they did.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 19:05

• 19:07
