• 4:14
  Speaker 1: for the public's help. They're trying to find multiple shooters
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: who opened fire downtown early yesterday morning. They killed six
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: people and left the city with quote a broken heart,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: according to the mayor. In addition to the six people
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: who were killed, those twelve people were wounded at the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: scene in their tenth and K streets, according to police.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: In a statement, here is police Chief Kathy Lester is
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: speaking on the shooting. The scale of violence that just
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: happened in our city is unprecedented during my twenty seven
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: years here at the Sacramento Police Department. We are shocked
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and heart broken by this tragedy. Now, what was that?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I saw the videos here and there, but I didn't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: dig in simply because it was the weekend and I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: didn't want to entertain that energy in the moment. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: what was it? What was it like a mass shooting?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Was it a fight? Well? Yeah, so they said that, Um, Well,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: investigators aren't interviewing a number of witnesses. I already have
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: spoken to people, gotten hundreds, they said, of pieces of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: evidence from the scene, including a stolen handgun. They said
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: members of the public did send in tips and video
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: from the incident, some of which had also been captured
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: by a nearby police camera. So they're still investigating. They
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: don't know what they're still investigating. It was just yesterday
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and that's what they know all right now. Airlines canceled
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: more than thirty five hundred US flights over the weekend
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and delayed thousands more. They said that weather in Florida
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and other issues was the reason for that. As people
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: were going on spring break getting their flights for that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: people were on social media complaining about waiting on hold
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: or in lines for hours to get their canceled flights rescheduled,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and some of the people who are being stranded for days.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I was saying earlier when I landed, there were people
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: discussing flying in from LA and their flight got canceled
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: three different times, so they finally managed to get in,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but they said it was weather in airspace congestion and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that were the reasons, and technology issues as well. So
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: people are still trying to get back and five people
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: were injured Friday night in a shooting in South Carolina.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They said that officers responded to a call around eleven
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: thirty regarding people shooting at each other, and when they arrived,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they described a rural one lane dirt road and dispatches
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: were having problems obtaining information from the chaotic scene. They
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: said some occupants went to a house near the location
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and other injured parties ran south on Logan Farm Road
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to escape. The victims were four males and the one female,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: age seventeen to thirty three. It's unclear what led to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the shooting or if law enforcement agencies have made any
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: arrest at this point. All right, well that is your

• 8:22
  Speaker 1: All right, good morning. Like I said, I know that
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: this is April. I tried to call y'all in February.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I just don't like the way that we are teaching
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: black history today. These kids. I know we y'all went
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: through slavery or whatnot, but it's twenty eight days in February.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Since they want to give us February every day. If
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: February we can see kids about something a black person
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: invented for the first time or accomplished, every day, we
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: could be learning about something that black people needed to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: accomplish in today's world or back end. The day I
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: got my small kid, he's six years old, coming home
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: talking about mama. I don't got no more friends, no more.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He's the only black kid in his claims because he's black.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So I don't know exactly what taught him, but it
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: ain't cusey black that he can't have no more print.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: He should have been coming home every day telling me
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: something about something a black man deed. That sounds like
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: two different issues. Though, that sounds like two different issues, Queenn.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: One is social and one is um educational. Like the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: social aspect, I don't know why you your young man
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: don't have no friends. But what's the correlation between that
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and black history. I think it's the education, not the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: social for that's who advocate. He came home and he
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: learned about black history. He learned about slavery, he looked
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: about black folks hit beat. Oh. So then he decided
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to be around the white people no more.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: There you go. You know, you can understand that. You
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: can understand when when you when you first take in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: some of that information, or you watch something like Roots
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: or Birth of the Nation, you'd be feeling like that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you need some time away from white people for a second.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Where you from. He's the only black kid in this past.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna do take a week off from school.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: We need to take a week off from white people.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Who are you from. I'm from Folky Well, yeah, Florida. Oh, Florida. Okay,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: just give him a minute, that's all. Oh, you put
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: him in or you put him in other programs where
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: he see something some more black kids. You're not where
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: y'all saying. I want him to come home every day
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: telling to be somebody. He's gonna learn a black person
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: for the first time. Then get you something something. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, but you you're really trying. You're
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you're trying to hide reality from your young man. Now.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I could teach that at home, but I want him
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to be coming home telling me, oh, Mama, to X,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Y and Z just learned this today. He had visited this,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: or he visited that twenty eight days. Now we could
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: be learning about some black folks twenty eight days. That's true,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: but he also gonna learn. He also gonna learn that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: ninety five percent of stuff that black people invented where
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: people stolen. He's a way he's gonna be pissed off.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Just give him a minute. Get it off your chest.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If
• 10:55

• 12:15
  Speaker 1: dollars worth of stuff in this in this last one.

  Speaker 1: And I saw the videos surveillance footage that they put
• 12:20

  Speaker 1: with someone said it looked like they were instructing them
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: on where to go to get the stuff that's bad.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And they got people that they can trust. But I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: just wanted to bring a little awareness to that. Man.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'm just saying this, y'all need to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: embrace black excellence. I'll need to love black clothing, black brand.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Y'all need to show some love. Man. Well, it's sad
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: because they say they're packing up, they say they're going,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: they're not They're not coming back. And like you said,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like you said, we need we need stories like that

• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Y'all stay didn't go fresh man, I owned didn't go
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: close in the Chicago Man. Okay, I'm trying to do
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: my thing out here. I appreciate y'all, and you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: let me get that off. I said I to you,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you guys fill a fleet club Chicago. I know they
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: gotta go funding because they've been going through a lot. Hello,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: who's this? This is Chicode, Chicode. What I'm getting off
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: your chests? I won't say that Black folks have got
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to stop saying we have got to do better. When
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Dealing Ruth killed all those black people in the church.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Now when black, one white person came to you and said, hey, man,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we gotta do better. Hey, what that mean? I say
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that about white people though, like, yes, white supremacist white
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even don't know if you can
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: expect white supremacist to do better. But yes, America has
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to do better, This white racist system has to do better.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with saying that no Americans can do better?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking specifically about black people because see, when white
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: people were attacked black people, they're always judged as individuals.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: What wouldn't black attack the white then we're always judged
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: as the group, and so as a group, we're always
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: carrying that burden, and that's that's my right. I get
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: what you're saying, but I don't. I just I disagree.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I think that you know, systemic racism is definitely a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: group effort, sir, So I don't. I don't. I don't judge.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I don't judge individual acts of racism as individual. I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: judge it as a byproduct of a larger system. Sure,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: as American, yeah, we should all be working towards that,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but as a as a subset of that group, people
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be carring that burden. Like if you don't live
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in that neighborhood, if you're not engaged in those activities,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with say, when one black person
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: does something, we don't have to say, hey, we got
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to do better black people, because when white people do
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: things that are messed up, no one says that. They
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: just be like it was one bad seed, he had issues. Well,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: maybe we got a different sense, maybe we got a
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: different sense of community because we're a smaller population. You
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: ever thought about that, No, I mean that could be
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: true too. But if you don't live in that neighborhood
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and you're not engaged in those activities, then you don't
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: need to be carrying those burdens. And when people come
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to you at work with their with their microaggression, you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: don't need to answer for those people because you don't
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: live in that neighborhood and you're not engaged in those activities. Fan,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree. I don't hold everybody
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: accountable for one person's asking for call. Yeah, I don't
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: think it's a burden. But if I do see, you know,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a black man moving a certain way, I do look
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: at him as you know, part of a community regardless.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get it off your chest. Eight hundred
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: five eight five one on five one. If you need
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to vent, you could always hit us up. I just
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: want to shout out to Harvest of Ohio. It's a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: black woman that owns a bunch of dispensaries in Ohio.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: She owns I believe four or five out there. She's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: doing very well. She was talking to me about how
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: difficult it was to get in the industry and how
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of people even came up to her store
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and wrote nigga on her building because the one of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the very few black owned dispensaries. I met her over
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the weekend, very very good. And when you see that,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you get inspired and you feel like, damn,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of us really doing good out here.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: That's right, so that it's community. Yeah, but the same
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: thing when you see somebody doing good, you salute them
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and you feel like we're part of a larger community.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: When you see some of us out here wild and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you'd be like, yeah, we gotta do better, and you go,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you go try to instill something in that person too.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I want to just shout out to that system. If
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you're out in Cleveland, make your you go, Ohio, I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: should say, make sure you go support her family owned
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: black business. Good morning to her, all right? Have you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: got rooms all the way? Yes? And let's talk about
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Monique and Lee Daniels. They have ended their long lasting few.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: They hadn't spoken for thirteen years. We'll tell you how
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: it ended, all right, We'll get into that when we
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Let's talk Monique. It's about is the rumor report Angela
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yee Fund the Breakfast Club. Well, it's been thirteen years
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: since they last spoke, and now Monique and Lee Daniels
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: have officially ended their feud and they are even working together.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Over the weekend, Lee Daniels came on stage der Moni's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: comedy events and here's what happened. I'm so sad any year, y'all.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: She was my best friend, my best friend. Y'all think
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that precious was just that wasn't That wasn't That was
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: God working through bolder us. I love you. That's a
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: beautiful apology. And you can tell it wasn't sid because
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it was what thirteen years later, it was public and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: you didn't have to do it right. She had accused
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Lee Daniel's Open Went Free an Tiler Perry of blackballing
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: her because she would not promote their film during awards season.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It wasn't in her contract, she said, and she didn't
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: want to spend time away from her family. Now they
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: have denied blackballing her, resources said. The actress and the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: director didn't speak for thirteen years because of this disagreement.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: So they are going to be working together on Demon
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: House should be replacing Octavia Spencer in that new Netflix movie.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And there you have it, they'll be back together again. Now.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I also saw that T. S. Madison was saying that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: she wanted to know. Let you know, for the record,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: it was most deaf. Definitely her upcoming interview on Turns
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Out with TS on Foxhaul with her good friendly Daniels
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that most definitely shifted the atmosphere. With Monique, she said,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: trust me, I'm so happy that thirteen years have been
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: fully mended. And she said, y'all was a right when
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: people were saying fifty cent made this and that happened.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: But the tone changed as soon as I stated that
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: no moves was made till after that woman sat down
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: with me, and then I showed where I sat down
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: with Lee in an upcoming interview, and now it's so
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: what child, So she's letting y'all know that the catalyst
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: for all of this was from those interviews. Oh gay,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: all right? Now. Will Smith has resigned from the Academy
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: after the whole situation with Chris Rock at the Oscars
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: where he slapped him, and he did release a statement.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I have directly responded to the Academy's disciplinary hearing notice,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and I will fully accept any and all consequences from
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: my conduct. My actions at the ninety fourth Academy Awards
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I've heard is long and includes Chris, his family, many
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity to celebrate. So he goes on to say that
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: he is resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Picture Arts and Sciences and will except any further consequences
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the board deems appropriate. There's still gonna be more consequences,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: though I know. I'm sure the Academy is going to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: do something. I mean, they've showing it now, But I
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: don't y'all think it's wild that they're starting to pull
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: his movies Netflix. Well, they didn't necessarily pull it. They
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: put it on hold. So we don't know what's going
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to happen moving forward. And we don't know if he
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: wanted things on hold or I don't really know what's
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: happening behind the scenes with that. But it's upcoming Netflix
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: movie Fast and Loose and Bad Boys for it has
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: been put on hold following the Oscar stuff. That's not
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: canceling yet, that just means that it's on hold. And
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to your point, year, if it's on hold, I'm sure
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it's on hold because he probably wants to go away
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: for a while. He probably wants to go somewhere and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you know, continue on his healing journey. And Netflix and Apple,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: who are both set to release a slave thriller starring
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Will this year, has made They've made no public statements
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: regarding plans to drop the movie or move forward these
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: projects and all of that. Now, that's a lot, yeah,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: because he's doing that movie. Um, you've seen the picture
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: with the with the slave with the whelps on his back.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: He's playing that character to get the brother's name. But yeah,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: he's playing that character, all right. So there's also been
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of people commenting on everything that's happened. Denzel
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Washington sat down with TD Jake's and here's what he
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: had to say. He's a saying, when the devil ignores you,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: then you know you're doing something wrong. I'm not done.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Now you know the devil read them along. My favorite. Conversely,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: when the devil comes at you, maybe because you're trying
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to do something right and for whatever we the devil
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: got ahold of that certain interesting. The devil is always
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: there if you're asking me, though, And I think life
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: is about choices, and sometimes we submit our will to God.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you submit our will to the devil. Well, Denzel
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: was consoling as you saw Will Smith after everything happened
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: at the Askers. He was seeing consoling him during the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: commercial break. All right, now, Bill Maher has weighed in,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say about Chris Rock's
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: heir A joke. I don't even know that. I don't
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: even know because I didn't even know anything about g
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I Jane because I never saw it, so I didn't
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: even understand what the joke was joke was at first.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But here's what Bill Maher had to say, comparing a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: woman to de Me Moore looking your hottest, It's not
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: exactly the worst insult I've ever heard. I mean alopecia.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It's not leukemia, Okay, alopecia, So when your hair falls out,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: if you are so lucky in life as to have
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: that be your medical problem, just say, thanks God, it's not.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: It's not life's let name you know, it's part of
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: for most people, it's part of age, and you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: just put on a wig like everybody else. I don't
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: want to downplay alopecia. It's devastating for a lot of
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: people who have it. So I don't know if that's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: necessarily what the issue is. Yeah, I mean, you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know how alopecia impact Jada or any woman.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So I can't tell her how to react to her
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: condition because what maybe, like do you could be heavy
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to somebody. Yes, she's spoken on it, how devastating it
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: is for her, but we don't want to make light
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of her alopecia. But I did enjoy Bill Moss take.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Didn't agree with all of it, but I enjoyed it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen a lot of comedians, a lot
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of people going at Jada. I think that's why. Yeah,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the other issue. Though, you have a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: moment like that, and now you've opened Pandora's box where
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: people to have so many things to say because you
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: did you know, something happened so publicly and now everybody's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that's like the hot topic of a goal. Will so well,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I said, go at will go with Will got well,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: will not at it? Well, it was like speaking like,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: go forth, go at will not as wife. I'll see
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: what you're saying, you know what I mean, like let
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: all this land to be towards Will, Will not not
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: his wife. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. All right,

• 24:10
  Speaker 1: tonight the men's final is at nine twenty to Tall
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Hills take on Kansas, no one else. You get easy,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: all right? Well, today the Senate is poised to vote
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: on whether to confirm Katanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: They said she is in good shape to win a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: lifetime appointment and become the first black woman on the court.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: They are set to meet today and vote on whether
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to advance Katangi Jackson Katanji Brown Jackson to a judge
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: on the US Circuit Court of Appeals for Washington, DC.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: So here's Senator Roy Blunt speaking on this. He is
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: a Republican, she certainly qualified. I think you've got a
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: great personality. I think will be a good colleague on
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the court. She's certainly going to be confirmed. I think
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it'll be a high point for the country to see
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: her go on the court and take her unique perspective
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to the court. All right, So looks like it it's
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. But he did also say that he won't
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: be supporting her, and he'll be joining others and understanding
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the importance of this moment even though he's not supporting
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: her confirmation. All right. The House has passed a bill
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: again to federally decriminalize marijuana. Here is the passage of
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that bill in the House on this pot. But yay's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: are two hundred and twenty and the names are two
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: hundred and four. The bill is passed without an objection,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: emotion to reconsider is laid on the table, all right. Now.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: The bill does also expunds the record of people convicted
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: of non violent cannabis defenses. And h I don't know
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: if it's going to pass though. Yeah, the Republicans the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Senate is not going to pass that. Like the headline
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: is so misleading because that's still have to pass through
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the Senate and be signed by the President to become legislation.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: And this happened a couple of years ago too. A
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: similar bill was passing the House but did not make
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it through the Senate. The Republicans have an issue, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that is the More Act. That's what their real issue is,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: because when changing the nation strugg laws, the federal government
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: should they also take steps to provide financial incentives to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: people who were most harshly impacted by the war on drugs.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I say, yes, of course you have to do that,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: but Republicans say no. The House passes everything, by the way,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the House passed the John Lewis Voting Right Acts the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: House passed, or the George Floyd Policing Act the House passed,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you know, to decriminalize marijuana. But if it doesn't pass
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: through the Senate, it doesn't become legislation. It doesn't pass
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: through the Senate and get signed by the President, it
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't become legislator. And a lot of Democrats are saying
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: that this is non negotiable, this equity grant all these
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: programs that they're planning to have, because clearly, people of color,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: black people were affected most harshly by the War on drugs.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I think black people are four times more likely to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: go to jail for a drug offense for Canada, for
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: cannabis than a white person. Is this such a misleading headline?
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Like I saw the headline this weekend and everybody's like, oh, yes,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: finally congratulation something like that. It means nothing. It passed
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: through the House, still got to pass through the Senate
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and get signed by the President to become legislation. The
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: House passes everything, people, all right now, The City of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: la has agreed to spend up to three billion dollars
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: over the next five years, and that is to how
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: some of their forty one thousand residents who are homeless.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: According to a proposed settlement that was announced on Friday,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: They've also agreed to create enough shelter to accommodate sixty
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: percent of homeless people in each of the fifteen council districts.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Those who are considered chronically homeless or who have a
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: chronic illness will remain the county's responsibility. So this all
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: stems from a complaint that was filed in twenty twenty
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: by a group of business owners, residents, and community leaders.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: They accused the city and county officials of failing to
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: address the desperate circumstances that homeless people face, including hunger, crime,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: squalor and the COVID pandemic. All right, so that is
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Ricky Lake will be joining us. Yea,
• 27:51

  Speaker 1: you think? I think that's a great idea. I just
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: realized what the concept is just now when you said it,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: because I just thought it was gonna be. You know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: you're doing a podcast, you know, talking about current events,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: but you're reliving the show. Yeah, we're gonna go back
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: in time and break down these episodes. I mean, because
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you know, lemon on A Media is an amazing podcast company.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: These women are badasses and they approached me and I,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I've been asked to a podcast, as everyone
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: has over the years, and I was like, oh, no,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: we to Abby Epstein, my partner, or not good morning
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: about my filmmaking partner. I'm so happy she's here, but no,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: this concept something about you know, first of it's the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: thirty This year's thirty years that I did the pilot
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of the Ricky Lations. Yeah, so I was twenty three
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: years old when I did the pilot. I'm now fifty three,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: so you know, it was really interesting to me. I
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: think what we were able to do back then. I
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: didn't think of it at the time is groundbreaking. But
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the issues we were able to cover, the way we
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: treated gay people, the way we treated mixed race couples,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the way we treat you know, it was just we
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: covered a lot of bases, and I think it'll be
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: really interesting to go back with the lens of now
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: where we are now, Have we made progress? Have we
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: gone backwards? And we're going to have a co host
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that's gen Z, that's probably you know, someone who's non binary,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: certainly a person of color and who didn't grow up
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: with me and kind of tell the story and bring
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: back old guests, old experts, And I think it'll be
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. You know what I love about
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: shows like Ricky Lake, even Donna Hue back in the day,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: even early Oprah. Y'all sat down with people you had
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: differences with. You sat down when people you may not
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: have agreed with. Nowadays, if you do that, they'll call
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you problematic. Yeah, I don't understand that. I don't either,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, and that's why I'm glad I don't have
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the show that I I had back then. Now it
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: just feels like you're walking on eggshells. No matter what
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you do, you're gonna piss someone off. And Yeah, I
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: just think it's it's gonna be a cool experiment. I mean,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I think we're all nostalgic for that time, the nineties,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and uh, I'm up for it. No, I'd love to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: see you and you'll do that. I would love to
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: see that. I'd love to see anything before we didn't
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: ask one question, how are you? I'm amazing the best
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: me I have ever been, you know, which is like
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I did that show and my name was on the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: rug and I didn't really have a sense of who
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I was. And I think in making these documentaries that
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I've been making with Abby for more than fifteen years,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I've really come into a place of like knowing who
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: my voice and what I believe in and what I
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: stand for. And I've now you know, gone dark. I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: lost my partner five years ago to my older and suicide.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: But I've now five years later, met the man of
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: my dreams and I just got married two months ago.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I'm correct. I live in my best life. Thank you
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: so much. How are you, Abby? I'm so good. I'm
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: so happy to be with this woman. We had our
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: double feature premiere last night and we watched this movie
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: we made fourteen years ago in the same theater that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: it premiered him at the IFC Center, Business of Being Born,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and we just both sat there with my son who's
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: now fifteen, who was born in the movie. Wow, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: like we had chills the whole time, you know, because
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: we were watching this going I can't believe that we
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: made this in two thousand and eight. It still holds up. Wow.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: It was powerful from the beginning before you guys met
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: what made you start? The Rickey Lake Show? You were
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: only twenty four years old. What said, what made you
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: think this is what I want to do? You want
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to the honest truth. Absolutely, it was the job that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: came along. Honestly, I had been a guest. I don't
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you guys are younger than me, but I well, I'm
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: fifty three and I was. I did Okay, I did
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Hairspray when I was eighteen, and I Letterman. David Letterman
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: was a big fan of John Waters, and so he
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: would have me on over and over again, kind of
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: like Sandra Bernhard back then. And it was from those
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: appearances that they thought out of me. They were this
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: guy garth An's here. It was a kind of media whiz.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: He wanted to do a younger show because he looked
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: at Oprah and Donahue and they were skewing over fifty five.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: So they wanted to do something to skew towards younger women,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: primarily women eighteen to thirty four, eighteen to forty nine.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: So they went on a search and I was one
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: of a hundred women at that time. I went and
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: flirted with three gay guys. I didn't know they were gay,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: but I just brought out my skills and they gave
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: me the pilot, and I was like so broke. At
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: that time, I was living in a poolhouse in the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: valley north of Victory if anybody knows where that is.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: No one spoke English, and I, you know, I was
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: kind of couldn't get my agent to call me back.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And I got this opportunity. I was like, all right,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I'll do it. Five thousand dollars. I needed my rent
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: paid for a year, and I'll do it for that. Luckily,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: we renegotiated and it turned into this phenomenon and it
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't a calculated move. Every step of my career, including
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the business of being born, is never coming from a
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: place of like seeing the big picture. It's really about,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: all right, that sounds good. I could do it. So
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I think I have this confidence in me and also
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: this like naivete you know, and it's worked out. You
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: got five well yeah, yeah, I did, but the first season.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: So then my agent did get involved and they packaged
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the show first, No, the pilot. The pilot was initially
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: that was my opening bid was I'll do it for
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars, and then the first year, you know,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: at my salary, I don't remember what it was. But
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: at the end of the first year the show was
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: such a huge success. This is nineteen ninety three, they
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: gave me a bonus of a half million dollars. Wow. Really, yes,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of money in ninety three. A lot of
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: that was a lot of money for real late, like
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I was broke. I My house was for clothes at
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: that time. Yeah, I was needing that money. And it
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: was you know that show it was I mean, it
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: was just my life. Like I didn't have the concept,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: like I'm twenty four years old. I don't even know
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: who I am, you know who, like the audacity to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: get on that stage and moderate these panels. But I
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: think looking back at it, I was I was the
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: perfect kind of person for that role because I was
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a good listener. You know. It was very forthcoming about
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: my own you know, hardshifts. I'm curious. I'm so fascinated
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: by people. I don't judge people, and so I think
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you're so real. You're so real. Anybody who meets Ricky,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: any of my friends, but anyone who meets Ricky in
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: five minutes, they go that woman has the biggest heart
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and she's just so real, Like you don't meet a
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: lot of celebrities that are like that anti celebrity quality,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and I think that's really what worked on that show.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: The show was a party, you know. It was just
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: like you know, the people that came to our show,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: they waited months and months and months to get tickets
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: back then, and you know, it was always surprising. I mean,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: there was a little formulaic. I have to admit, like
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I knew, you know, I knew from the names I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: could tell, Okay, this is a black story. The first guests.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: The first guests were always the most outrageous, you know,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: and then we'd have the white story and then we
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you know, we'd balance it out. But I feel like
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: we we did do a lot of good, like we
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: you know, we we definitely saw people and many times
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: that they're worst, But I feel like I treated everyone equally.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I treated everyone with compassion and it was a good time.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: You said something earlier that was interesting. You said, um,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you said a lot right about what women
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: had to go to because you're obviously talented, but you
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: said you had to the executives. I didn't. I don't
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: think it was a prerequisite. It was just it was
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: my m I mean, that I wasn't even like I was,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: you know, very like heavy set, and I you know,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: wore a big flower hat probably. I mean I didn't
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: have a really a game. I didn't have any game
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: back then, but I knew how to be charming and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: appealing and it worked. It worked in my favor. But um, yeah,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that's the only game I know. We got more with
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Ricky Lake and Abby Epstein. Note move is to Breakfast Club.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Good morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, nadav.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: We ought to Breakfast Club. Were still kicking it with
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Ricky Lake. So what is the business of birth control?
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: We well was in the same way. Did you ever
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: see the business of being born? No? I urge you too,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: because it's really you know, we take a hard look
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: at what birth, you know, the birthing world, the medical
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: system when it comes to birth, and the same thing
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: we look at the pill, the history of the pill,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the racist piece of it. Did you know that they
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: tested you tell, they tested the drug the pill initially
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: on rat black and brown women in Puerto eCOM. Yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I think that at the end of the day,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: it's sort of like you can equate the business of
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: birth control too, in a way the opiate epidemic, you know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: it's really profits over people. It's it's the way, you know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: we know women's bodies have been co opted and controlled
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and exploited for years. So, like Ricky was saying, the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: film covers a lot of grounds. It's truly mind blowing.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I think people sit there for ninety minutes and they're like,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't know any of the Like I literally didn't
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: know anything in your movie. So one thing is we
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: look at some of the products that are out there,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: like the neeuver ring that's had a lot a lot
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: of women die on it, and you never hear about
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: any of it. You never hear about any of it
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: because you get gag orders when you accept settlements. So
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: when the drug company settles with all these victims, they're
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: then not allowed to do any promotion. So the stories
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: in our film are the families who wouldn't settle. They
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: didn't take the money because they want to change the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: lay bling on these products. They don't want other girls
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to die. So we tell that story. And then, like
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Ricky was saying, you know, we look back in time
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: over the way birth control has been tied into eugenics
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: the way that it's always been used to, you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: weaponize basically against communities of color. How obstetrics was literally
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: founded on slavery in Africa. The pill was tested on
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: women in Puerto Rico, and on and on and on.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And then we also look at in a positive way.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we look at this new generation that does
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: not want to take the pill that their grandmothers took.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: They're woke, they're ecological, they don't want to put you know, hormones, yeah,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and acrine disruptors in their body. And so if the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies aren't going to come along with like healthier options,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: they're going to make them up. You know, we're going
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: to invent them. So you look at all these cool
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: femtech entrepreneurs and in a way, I think, you know,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the younger generation, it's like they're they're kind of a
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: duet yourself generation. They're not going to rely on these
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: big companies. And so, you know, we look at all
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the innovation that's happening, which is super cool, didn't explore
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: any of Margaret Sanger oh yeah, okay, okay, oh yeah, okay,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: And that happened during the making the film. It happened
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: during the film, which was interesting. Yeah. So we originally
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I remember, like Gloria Steinham's on early cut, and you know,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: everyone was worried about that Margaret Sanger legacy, like, oh,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: you're going to take her down. I think we're really
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: fair to her in the movie. But then at the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: end of the movie we show an update about how
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Plan Parenthood New York City took her name off the clinic,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: so you know that it's not so like they Plan
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: parent finally had to come out and say, you know,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: let's be transparent, like we cannot be identified with our founder. Um.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: So again, that's why I think the timing of the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: movie was so good, because I think having that conversation
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: about Margaret Sanger five years ago what happened, like we
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: would have gotten a lot of pushback. Yeah, my wife
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't like berkend That's why I get a vasectomina because
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: we just had off of daughters. She's six months old. Yeah,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, she's refused to get back on
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: birth control because it makes us sick. She hates it. Yeah,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: it's awful, Like all the options are terrible, and you
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: go out there and talk to anybody and they will
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: tell you their birth control journey, and they'll tell you
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: every product they used and how depressed it made them,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: or how they lost their sex drive, or how they
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: got In my case, I mean I had hair loss.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, I was stealing my
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: hair is pretty much it came back. But because birth control,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: well that's part of it. I think it's a lot
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: of things. I was putting extensions in my hair, I
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: was coloring my hair. I was stressed about my hair.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I have androw genetic alopecia, which is the you know,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: genetic hair loss over years. Yeah, it was all above,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: but definite. You mess with your hormones, think about it,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's like what we say in the film,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: it's like sometimes now these kids are getting put on
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: twelve thirteen years old for acne, for cramps, you know,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: like you'll see with your daughters. It's like you you
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: got to make these decisions, right when you have like
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: a thirteen year old, fourteen year old that's like, oh,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: but my period, cramps are so bad. And then the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: doctor saying, well, just put her on the pill. They'll
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: take care of everything. That's how they treat everything, and
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: that's that's not going to cut it. That's not gonna
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: cut it for the new generation. So I think it's like,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: you know, two things. One is there's a lot of
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: things that people are getting put on the pill four
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: that have nothing to do with birth control, right, acne, fiooids,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: pcos right. So we need actual treatments for these conditions.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: We need studies, yeah, happen on women. Studies. Yeah. And
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: then you know, we need to be more educated about
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: the menstrual cycle so that there's other ways to intervene
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and relieve cramps or whatever the issues are, because what's
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: happening is these girls are going on at like twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: they're not really you know, they're hormones, they're not really developing.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: They're on something that's cut like basically putting them into
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: menopause at thirteen, and they're not, and they're staying on it.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Then they stay on it for maybe ten twenty years.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I mean this drugs were not designed or FDA approved
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: to be on for twenty interviews. Did you know that
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: when you're on these drugs it changes your pheromones? Yes,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: changes who you're attracted to. They do this T shirt
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: test that was out of what's Sweden or something Scotland. Yeah,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: so it's actually your so your pheromones. You know, it's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: like how you you can smell out attraction, right, so
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you know how if you like have sex with certain people,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: you like their smell, you don't like their smell, right,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: that smell is actually giving your body information about their DNA.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: It's actually telling you whether you're going to make healthy
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: offspring with that person who and when you go on
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: these birth control products, it takes that like animal sense offline,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: so you can't smell anymore. So they say, like for women,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: the line is you're going to be attracted to someone
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: who's more like brother than other, so you're attracted to
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: more maybe kind of feminine men. You know, men that
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: aren't don't have that kind of opposite polarity. And um
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: so you hear this a lot anecdotally, right that women
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: either go like are with a partner, decide they need
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: some protection, go on the pill. Suddenly they're not attractive anymore,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: or the opposite, or the opposite when they go off
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: to family plan they suddenly are not into their guy.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: You're about to make YouTube conspiracy thing YouTube conspiracy so
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: that it can't even help you. It canna make you
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: change you do what gin do you like as well? No? No? Oh, okay? Conditions?
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: So how did you get your hair back? Healthy? So?
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I you okay? So I think it's a lot of things.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't stress anymore. I mean when
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I shaved my head in grand fashion the turn of
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, I mean I did it in a way
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: like can you curse on the show? Okay? I said
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: it like I was so done with struggling about my hair.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: It was my deep, dark secret. Every time I looked
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: in the miericuld see my scalp, and it just it
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: just drove me crazy, and the extensions were pulling. I'm
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: sure many of your much of your audience knows what
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: that's like. It's just it's just it was painful. And
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: it was because I was a public figure, and because
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I'm so outspoken and honest and authentic. I this was
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: this piece of myself that I was hiding, and I
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: just decided, all right, I'm gonna rock a bald head.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how it's going to look.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: My friends were telling me, don't worry, you can do it,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to pull it off. And I
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: just did it and gave up. And then I came
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: into finding this product that I'm now an ambassador of.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: I've never taken an endorsement in my thirty plus year career.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: It's called Hark Clinican and it's a shampoo and extract
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: and something about the fermentation. I can't explain it, but
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: it's non toxic and it's helped my hair to be
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: as healthy as as it can be. Now you know
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: where I'm going next. Were you offended by Chris Rock's
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: joke towards Jada Pink's I mean I was more offended
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: by his actions. It's like it's by Will Smith's actions.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I used to say on my old show,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: violence is never the answer. And the fact that it
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: went to that extreme, I mean nothing, nothing that comes
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: out of anyone's mouth justifies a physical altercation. But I
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: also did feel for Jada in that moment, because I
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: would hate to be the butt of that joke if
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: someone were, and that was one of my fears. When
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I did shave my head, like I I didn't I
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: didn't know what the reaction would be. And I couldn't
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: think that far ahead, but I was so scared of
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: people making fun of me or is calling me names.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: So I definitely it definitely struck a nerve for me
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: because I think women's suffering with that condition. Um, it's
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: not funny. What if you know? Yeah, no, no, I
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: think there's a lot to the story. I mean, we're
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: all speculating, but I think there was a history with
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: them and the Oscars. So I don't know. I mean,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I saw this morning that hurt her. Her reaction to
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the slap. After the slap, she sort of smiled. I mean,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: we don't know, but I know for me personally, definitely
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: a joke about a woman's hair loss is not is
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: not funny. We got more with Ricky Lake and Abby
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Epstein Note moves to Breakfast Club, Good Morning, everybody is
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Schalomagne the Gay We ought to
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Were still kicking it with Ricky Lake. Cha.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: You did twelve seasons at a Ricky Lake well eleven,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: and then I went back and did a new version
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: of the show that only ran for one year, but
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I won the Emmy that year, and you said you
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: walked away from it. I did the first show, I
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: just couldn't renew. Yeah, I mean it had kind of
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: run its course. Nine to eleven had happened. I just
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get out of New York. I was
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: going through a divorce. I mean, it just it just
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: kind of fell apart. I mean, you know, Maury just
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: ended his show. I mean, I feel like I could
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: have had a run like that. I'm personnel. No no, no,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: no no. I love Maury, but I I yeah, eleven
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: years was enough for the first show. The second show,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do more of a Donnie Who type show.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: That was my concept. I wanted to be elevated content,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: more provocative and thought provoking. And it didn't turn out
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to be that. Well. Difference between the first run in
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: the second run because you want to end run successful.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The first one. I mean, I think
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: the timing of the first one and being in New
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: York at that time was magic. You know. The second one,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I was in bed with the wrong company. I think
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the executive that was in charge of my production we
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: had different visions. You know, he wanted a different type
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: of show than I wanted to do, and I you know,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: goes back to making the business of being born with Abby.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: I kind of have a sense of who I am
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: in a way that I didn't back then, and uh yeah,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: so it was just you know, in bed you did
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: some good shows though you really did. We did, we did.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I actually did a show on suicide, which is so
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: interesting that I didn't have I didn't have a his
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: like I didn't know that at the time, but I
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: was called to do it and I fought so hard.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: He said it was never gonna rate. It was never
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: gonna and I felt like we needed to do it,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: and it was one of the shows I'm really proud of.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: How difficult is it for any person to have a
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: successful daytime talk show? Oh my god, I think it's
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: near impossible. I mean, in the time that I did
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: my show eleven years and we used to go to
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the Nappy convention every year and there'd be you know,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: a dozen half a dozen new shows come and go
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: and they you know, they'd last for you know, not
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: very long. I think it's a rare talent. Like it's like,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's something that was taught to me.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I think it was like a natural fit, you know,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: for me. It's a unique relationship I think that you
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: have with the world more than being an actor on
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: a TV show. I feel like because Ricky was in
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: everybody's living room and people ran home from school at
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: three o'clock every day to watch Ricky Lake, watch Ricky Lake.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Like literally, you know, I can see just from traveling
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: the world with her, Like We'll be in some hotel
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: lobby in Australia and like, you know, like ten gay
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: men will come up to her like sobbing, you know,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: and say, oh my god, you validated us and you
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: don't know what you meant, and you know, And I
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: think that they have a different relationship with her, just
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: because the nature of that show. It's like it's like
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: she was the perspective of the audience, you know what
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like she was she was sort of your
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: lens into this like world of madness. So it's it's
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: interesting to see I've never really seen um, I've never
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: really seen anybody where it's kind of like her fans
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: appreciate her and a way, like yesterday we're walking down
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the street and people are screaming her name down the
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: street in New York. That's Ricky Lake. I saw you
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Wendy Williams this morning. Hi, Ricky, Hi Ricky, Like she
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: just feels approachable, more approachable in that way because I
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: think we lose sense of how many people grew up
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: on her, like it was one of the original absolute formats.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: And I think the nineties celebrity actually meant something in
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: the Yes, doesn't anybody you can lick You can lick
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the bottom of a toad foot now and be a
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: TikTok s about you know what I'm saying, Like, celebrity
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: meant something in the nineties, And it feels like everyone
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: or a lot of people have an agenda, Like it's
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: like it's whether sell a product or push some you know.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: And I guess in a way we are pushing art,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: but our thing is to help women. Like yeah, you know,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: but yeah, celebrity has changed. I agree, And and just
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: the tone that like like I don't know how you
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: guys do it. I don't know if you ever like
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: second guess what you're about to say for fear of
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: like like backlash or something. But I feel like I
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: was able to say, you know, I didn't have to
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: like censor myself before I say can Yeah, we've been
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: canceling a million times. I mean, we've been doing it
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: for twelve years. Things have changed over has it shifted
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: in these twelve years. So it's things they try to
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: go back and cancel us for. Yeah, yeah, you know,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: it's just that's the way it's part to me. Yeah,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: because nobody wants to have the conversation about how culture shifted. Yeah,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to hold people accountable for things
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: they said, yeah in public forums ten years ago, fifteen
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: years ago culture exactly. I felt like that last night
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: when we watched both our movies back to back, you know,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and we're watching this movie we made fourteen years ago,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm a little nervous watching it, you know, just
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: for that reason, because you're sitting there like, oh, did
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: we have enough people of color in the movie. Oh God,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: we just said something about Britney Spears in the movie.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Little you know, things that like today might not fly.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: You know. I was going to ask, we always talk
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: about the Mount Rushmore things, route much more, Mount Rushmore
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: of comedians, what shit? Mount Rushmore of talk show host? Okay,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Oprah for sure, Oprah, Donna Hue. I loved Donnie back
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: in the day. I loved our cineo. I watched him.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Oh can we do Late Night too? Oh sorry, okay, okay, daytime.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Let me think, Oh my god, throw some names at
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: me and I'll tell you what I think of them.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Um oprah Don was a good start. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I mean Sally Sally um oh, Monte Montell was a
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: good guy to show with him. Yeah yeah, I mean
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: there's more, There's more, but I'm like, there were so many.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Come on, you just did that reunion on Tamaran Hall.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Who was there? Oh that was Rolando was there and
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Montell was there. Yeah, Tamara Tamara was up here like
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: last week and she said your name and Rolanda And
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, I mean, you know quote I didn't.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't didn't think of Rolanda. Hadn't heard the name
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: in a wild like well, I mean tempest bled Zoe
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: had a show, Carney Wilson had a show. I mean yeah, everyone. No,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think they only ran for
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: a Queen Latima. Yeah, I mean yesterday I went and
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: did the Wendy Williams Show without Wendy Williams. But it
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: was in my old studio, so like I hadn't been
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: back there. In like fifteen years, sixteen years or something
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: like that. They got Montell's old studio two. Yeah, uh
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Mont Maury was there too, the twenty six Street studios.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's all just like it just feels like
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: these chapters in my life. And now with this new podcast,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, I get to go back, right, I
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: think it'll be good. Yeah, I wonder what the raised
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: by Ricky podcast? What did he make you miss most
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: about doing the Ricky Lake Show? The money money, But
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I mean it was funny money. I didn't even like,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: like getting a bonus of a half million dollars. Come on,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: come on, it's like the budget of our entire documentary.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: It was just it was crazy. I'm okay, yes, I'm
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just fine. I did not do like like I
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: love Rosie O'donnald too. Rosie's a great, great, great friend
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: of mine in a great talk show host. Um. Yeah,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: I don't have like the money that these other people have.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: But I'm also I saw Jim Carrey did an interview yesterday.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: He's retiring. He's like and he said he has enough.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: And that's how I feel. I don't come from a
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: place of the work. I do is not about the
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: money I make now, It's really about putting out good work. Dude,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: talk show host reach out to you to get tips
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: now and if they did, I'll tell you. Rosie and
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Ellen both called me before they went and did their
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: shows because they wanted to know what the schedule was, like,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: how it worked. Um not late like no, not of late.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I've been off the air. I haven't done my show
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: in so long. But but I feel like I do
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: have some good pointers, and I would say the main
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: thing is to be a good listener. That's you know,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: I think that's what I was best at, is reacting
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: to what I was seeing. You know. I didn't wear
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: an IFB, and that's something they fought me on every year.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: They just wanted, you know, the control room and the
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: produces wanted to have access to me. And I didn't
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: want anyone ever putting anything in my mouth, you know.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: So I would have Q cards if they needed me,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: but I refused to have an IFB. So I just
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: I just love that, Yes, that show. Back then, I
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: didn't really know who I was, but um but I
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: was in the moment and present and tried to be
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: kind and tried to have some fun and do some
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: good Yeah. One more quite tasteful water. Yeah. How did

  Speaker 1: announcing it, and they were trying to get her to
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: hurry back. I have never taken such a fast pass
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: in my whole life. Did she wash her hands? Probably?
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you everybody. And you know what, Sissa, you are
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: everything to me. You are incredible. You're on the U
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: piting me of talent, of your lyricist. You're everything. Hi.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I like to down play, but this is it's a
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: big deal. If they called your name, would you have
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: enough time to wash your hands live on television. No,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: you gotta get there. You wash your hands after. And
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: she probably had to pull up her you know, it
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: looked like she had like a Onesian underneath. That's not
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: easy to manipulate your clothes. And I'm sure she didn't
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: start running back once they called her name. She was
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: out of breath. Yeah, when she got all right, now,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: we told you already. John Baptiste got four trophies, and

• 58:45

• 58:48
  Speaker 1: of the Year. And if y'all don't know John Baptiste
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: here he is tlue to my guy, John Battize. Man,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: that's a great brother right there, dropping a cluded monster,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: John Beatiz a real week musician one Album of the Year,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: and salute to Jehan Sweet. That is a young man
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: who I've known since he was a little jit. You know,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: he want to Grammy for John Batist's album as well.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: That's a little duvoce cousin. All right. Well, John Battiste
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: is the band leader of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: And by the way, he had recently did an interview
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: and he got secretly married in February. He told CBS
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: Sunday Morning what happened. And he was with his wife
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: now for eight years and they decided to get married
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: after she was recently diagnosed with leukemia for a second time.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: By the way, now here is his speech as he
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: was winning. You know, I really I believe this to
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: my core. There is no best musician, best artist, best dancer,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: best actor. The creative arts are subjective and they reach
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: people at a point in their lives when they need
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: it most. It's like a song or an album is
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: made and it almost has a radar to find the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: person when they need it. The most man lay show
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: bands have had an amazing couple of weeks. I mean,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: with Quest Love winning some of the soul last Week
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: and job but Teach winning for the Album of the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: Year the Grammy don't want if that's ever happened, If
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: late show bands ever been in this popping? Have people
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: from late show bands ever been this popping? I know,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: but late show bands have to be amazing because that's
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of work that they have to do and
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of synergy every day, and then they also
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: are really good at being spontaneous and just reacting to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: what's going on on the fly. I can't remember none.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: I remember Pauli. That's her name from back in the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: day on Letterman. I think that was the name Paul
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I think. I don't remember too many late shal bands.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: It's the first generation. I remember, like you actually know
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: who the late show band is. All right, well that
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: is your rumor. Reports not gonna shout out Tyler the
• 1:00:57

• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: get into more, don't worry. Yeah, he wanted one and
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: you know drama. He was the one that was he
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: voiced an album. He talked over the album. Who told
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: them that they won? Like, um oh I did see
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: that live? Yeah there doing an interview. Who to my guy? Way,
• 1:01:21

• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: I'm a big boy. I could take it if you
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: feel I deserve it ain't no big deal. I know,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Charula many gout, go out and funny. You gotta say
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I need
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: what's getting that donkey, that donkey that don't don't don't,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: don't don't donkey other day right here the breakfast club. Bitches,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: you can call me the donkey of the day, but
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: like I mean no harm. All right, Donkey of the
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Day for Monday, April the fourth goes to the Memorial
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Herman Hospital in Humble, Texas. They say everything is big
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: in Texas, and that also applies to the size of
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: the stupidity. Now, we talk about trauma a lot nowadays. Okay.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite things to tell people is that
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: if you don't deal with your trauma, your trauma will
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: eventually deal with you. Everybody processes trauma differently. If you're
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what is trauma, it's simply an
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: emotional response to something negative that has happened to you. Okay.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: It's three types of trauma. You gotta cute trauma from
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: a single incident, chronic trauma, which is something repeated and prolonged,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: such as domestic violence, are abused. And then complex trauma,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: which is exposure to varied in multiple traumatic events, often
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: of an invasive, interpersonal nature. Okay, when it comes to
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: today's donkey of today and why Memorial Herman Hospital is
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: getting donkey today, It's because they cost a queen named
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Betty Harris to have either acute a complex trauma. Now,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: what they did would have made for an incredibly traumatic
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: but very entertaining April Fools Day, Joe, But it didn't
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: happen on April Fools. It actually happened back in early March,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: March seventh, to be exactly, okay, Betty visited her husband,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: Brian Harris at Deerbrook Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Listen
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: to what I said. Betty visited her husband, Brian Harris
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: at Deerbrook Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The visit went well, okay,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: but the next day she got a call from Memorial
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Herman Hospital and it went like this, let's go to
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: NBC News for the report place. Betty Harris says she
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: got what maybe the worst call of her life. It
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: came from a strange number she quickly learned was Memorial
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Herman Hospital and humble he said, it's about your husband.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: I say, my husband. I see, my husband is in
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: a rehabilitation and he said, no, your husband is at
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: the emergency room. I said the emergency wrong. So he said, yeah,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: he said he stopped breathing. I say, he stopped breathing.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: I said, so, what's what's wrong? I say, he's all right?
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: He said he did. Harris says she was devastated and
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: also confused because she had just left her husband Bryant,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: at the Deerbrook Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center the day before,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: where he was recovering from a knee surger. But at
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: the hospital, Harris got an even bigger surprise when it
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: was time to identify the body not my husband, and
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: I was I was very Harris says she learned the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: mix up began at Deerbrook, where someone passed off Brian's
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: chart when rushing another man to memorial herman where he
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: died at a mistake, you understand, but it was just
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: so horrifying Betty, who he's doing for emotional distress? Okay,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: that's the guy. Information the kind of news that can
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: cause fatally inducing stress. Betty could have had a heart
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: attack right there on the spot. Betty could have taken
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: that news so hard that she did something harmful to
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: herself in that moment. She could have been so devastated,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: that she could have killed herself, and she clearly really
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: believed y'all, because the news report said she called family
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: and friends crying hysterically. Personally, if I was her, I
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: would have called my husband. Okay, I'm not believing you
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: dead until I hear it from you. Seriously, we live
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: in an era with an Internet is always killing people off.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: They're always making up stories at any given time. So
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: the first person I would call when I hear about
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: a loved one being dead is my loved one. If
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: they don't answer, then this cause for concern. Okay, then
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: I started calling around the family and friends. But it
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter because clearly Betty was in a state of shock.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: She was in a state of disbelief. Memorial on her
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: in the hospital for a brief moment remixed her whole life,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: and on top of that, she had to go down
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: there and identify a body that wasn't her body, and
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: all she received thus far as in age uh. The
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Dear Book Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center apologized for the
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: mix up, but the hospital memorial herman has not responded
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: to the incident. But the rehabilitation center basically said, my bad.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: Our team regrettably transferred a patient to the hospital with
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: incorrect identifying paperwork. I appreciate the apology, but that doesn't
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: take away discress and trauma that I experienced simply because
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: door Dash bought me the wrong order. Okay. I hope
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Betty Harris sus that hell out of this hospital for
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: emotional discress. Okay, for the emotional harm that you suffered.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: If a hospital tells you that your husband died a
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: day after you just left your husband in a rehab
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: and you didn't even know he was in the hospital,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: didn't guess what you deserve it all? Okay, Betty, I
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: heard you say. You just want the hospital and rehab
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: facility to have better communication between the two. I agree,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: but that means nothing. You are hurt, Betty, Okay, don't
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: get up, all right, to stay on the ground. They
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: didn't have a wet floor sign out, all right. Your
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: neck is hurt, your back is hurt, your head is hurt. Wait,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: what do you mean you can't hear me, Betty? Betty,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: you can't hear me? Hello? Hello? What you can't see
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: me either? Or we have to do something about this.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: Sounds to me like you are entitled to some form
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: of compensation. Okay, please give a memorial. Herman Hospital and
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Humble Texas the biggest he hall. Where are the lawyers
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: to help Betty out? Is this not a slam dunk lawsuits?

• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: you know, balling, crying or really sad. I want them
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: to be like, man, let's talk about some great memories
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: and let's have a good time. Uh No, I do
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: not have rules from our funeral. I'm too busy thinking
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: about living the worry about stuff like that. Because truth
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: to the matter is, when I passing about fifty plus years,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: it's no telling what kind of technology, it's gonna be
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: available on how we're gonna want to be laid the rest,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: and I can care less about what happens at the funeral.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: I care more about the business, the will they, estates,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: the life insurance. I understand Grandma thinking about that because
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: she's old. I'm not that old yet be worried about
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: what my funeral gonna be like in fifty years they might.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: They might be shooting bodies the mars because it's no
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: more laying. The things happen unexpectedly. And I also think
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: planning in your estate has to do with your funeral,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: because they do cost money, and sometimes people have passed
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: and they don't have that planned out, and then it
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: leaves a burden on people that not only our mourning,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: but having to put together a funeral and come up
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: with some money. Well yeah, yeah, well huh. The state,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: my state has been playing and already hopefully yours or
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: you got four daughters, I'm sure you'll play this year.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: I just said that I can't more about the business,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: the will they and states, the life resuring, But as
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: far as what happens in my funeral, why would I can't? Yeah?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: I mean I I don't necessarily have rules. I mean,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: my family know who I with it who I don't that,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: so they know Petty already. I mean they do, they
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: know who the exactly they should know the same people
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: that don't come to the house, y you know what
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, the same people that you don't be around,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: like you know that. So I don't have any rules
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: and regulations. Um nah, I mean I really don't care.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: I want I really and this is gonna sound the
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: cheap version of myself. I just don't want them to
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of money. That's you. But that's why
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: you planning for it. You can pay once again, though,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: y'all don't know what the world gonna be like in
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: fifty years, and fifty years they might just be shooting
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: our ashes in the space. So who knows a lot
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: of people die unexpectedly that weren't planning for it, especially
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: you know, with the pandemic and a lot of things
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: happening that they didn't anticipate it. And it's sad. So
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: that's why I think it is important to make sure
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: that you never know. God, y'all come implicating this. The
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: grandma is talking about people she wanted her funeral. She
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: making it seem like a party, and we ain't talking
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: about question yes on your back of your stomach. I don't.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be I don't want my body period.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: I want to be cremated or something I've always thought
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: about that make me a tree? How do you not
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: see how they're making everybody, uh trees. Now you can
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: bury them and then a trio sprout do something like that,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: make your tree. Yeah, you're not stupid. People go look
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: in the future when they start digging up bodies, and
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be all like the gelatin from the bbls
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: and the breathton plants and the take abs. The men
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: is getting in the beigean, you know, stupid stuff gonna
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: look in the ground when they dig stuff up in
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: the future. They're not gonna know what is what? What word?
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: What word? Treat your body? Why would have to dig
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: up your ass the same way they dig up stuff now,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: the same way we find caveman's bones and dinosaur bones
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: and stuff. Now, who you talk? Hello? Who's this? Hi?
• 1:12:50

• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: have a new girlfriend. So according to sources, the article
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: about their relationship called her a little off guard. Her
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: name is Natasha, but she said that this was all
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: before her. They're no longer together, so she's fine with

  Speaker 1: experience coming out. He said that his father cheating on
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: his mother became public knowledge, and he said, after that
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: was out in the open, I was left alone feeling
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: like a liar because I had a secret one that
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: I kept from my father, my mother, my family, my friends,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: and you professionally personally, and the secret is that I'm gay.
• 1:21:28

• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: of years ago on his HBO special home video, he
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: told his mom he hooked up with dudes before. But
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: I guess that's not the same as great up saying
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gay stuff. I would assume it. I mean, I
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: guess he wanted to make the actual statement and say
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: it because he had never just said, looks I am
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: gay hook it up with guys. It feels like it.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: You could be bisexual, you could consider yourself whatever. But
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: he's gay and he's talking about he talked about the
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: hill On Brobs Club a couple of years ago. Yeah,

• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: appearances or inflammatory social media statements according to page six,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: But according to his rep Jason Lee, he is saying
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: that is untrue. He said, yea, he monitors all headlines
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: pertaining to him and his family daily, and Jason Lee
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: said that, yeah, does not respond to many headlines. But
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: he said, if you don't hear it from his mouth,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: read it from his social media, or get it from
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: her press release, he approved, it's simply false. So for
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: people who feel like that was true, according to his
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: spokesperson Jason Lee, it's not. So he's not getting help
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: that he has never said that. Well, we wish it
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: was true. We wish Kanye was somewhere going to get
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: get getting some type of healing. M All right, Now,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: let's take it back to the Grammys and things that
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: happened on there. Cardi B ended up deleting her Twitter
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: account and she this was so weird to me. People
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: were coming at her because she didn't attend the Grammys.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: Here's what Cardi B had to say about not attending
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: the Grammys, Like, I literally posted earlier today that in
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: my house in New York with my kids, you could
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: hear my kids from the background. When did I ever
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: gave hints that I was going to the Grammys and
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: for you to call me lazy, and because I'm not
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: going to an award, what why would I war? Do
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: I have any new music? Why would I show up
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: with one nomination? And I lost it anyway, So you
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: wanted me to go to the Grammys losing the war
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: and me just be there small like that's great, that's great,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Like come on now, Nick, come on now, I don't
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: like that. And people were being disrespectful to her and
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: her kids over the fact that she didn't attend the Grammys.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: How do people let social media? She ended up deleting
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: her Twitter after that. How do people let social media
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: dictate their lives like this? You understand, social media is
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: the home of the most miserable people on the planet,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: and it's a small minority of people. You're giving a
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: small minority of folks the power to completely ruin your day.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Why but when did a turn like that? It used
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: to be fun, remember social media, Twitter, And it used
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: to be fun, and that was actually directing your steps,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: like those people are Those people are never gonna give
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: you your props, They're never gonna route for you, they
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: never gonna celebrate you. When you're doing good, so why
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: are you giving them the power to ruin your day?

• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: Health Awareness Month, and I got to salute the good
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: brother Robert F. Smith Man on this past Friday. I
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: was in Hallan with Robert at the Wagoner in the
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: Wagner Projects as he launched the mount Side and I
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Robert F. Smith Mobile prostate Cancer Screening bus, you know,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: and you know he's just hoping that and encourages more
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: men to go out there and get tested for prostate cancer.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: So salute to Robert smith Man and salute to Steve Harvey.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: Chris Tucker said to Entertained, they were all out there
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: as well. And you know, prostate cancer is something that
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: all of us need to be thinking about. You know,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: Black men are not only more likely to be diagnosed
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: with prostate cancer, but are also more likely to die
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: from low grade pop prostate cancer. Man, And when you
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: think of brothers like you know, Chadwick Boseman, think about
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: you know, brothers like our good friend Reggio, say combat Jack.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: You know, they all wish they would have, you know,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: caught it earlier. So that's why I'm encouraging brothers to
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: go out there and you know, get their prostate checking.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: It's not all about that finger neither you know. It
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: starts with the blood test right to see if you're predisposed,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: but there's some four play before the the actual prostate
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: gets checked. Okay, that's the fun fact that y'all might
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: need to know. I don't know if it's one or
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: two envy, but we'll see in a couple of years.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: You got about a year because you gotta start getting
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: tested at forty five. Now they used to say fifty,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: but forty five is when they want you to start
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: getting tests and says have you got your CHESSI? Ye,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I got the blood. I'm not predisposed
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: to it. Ye know, I got tested last year. Oh really,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: how do you like it? Ak? Okay? Okay, but you
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: know like that that the doctors should have a conversation
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: with you before before you just yeah, you know what
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: that conversation is. You could possibly die, okay because black
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: you're just saying because because because black men are more
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: likely to be diagnosed a prostate cancer and also more
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: likely to die from it. That's all I need to know. Man,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Would you like to leave the room right now? Jesus Christ.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: So salut salutor Robert smith Man. He's doing great work
