• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Charlamagne the Guy. This is diseason to be patty.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Holding everybody's DJ Envy Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club. Lonlamosa is here. We got
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed have passed
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: jamal Brian.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Welcome brother, Thank you sir, good to be with you all.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: How you feeling this morning, Bill Gurdon, let's talk about
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: this the forty day fast of Target. Yes, and uh,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: this is something that you're trying to put into play
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: and why I'm not trying you are putting.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It in another Yeah. So people are asking why did
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: we pick Target when Walmart out of order, McDonald's out,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: or the John DIA's out, or the Bank of America's
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: out of order, Amazon Amazon is out of order? Is
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: we wanted to go? The African proverb says, if you
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: want to eat an elephant, do one piece at a time.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So we picked Target first for several reasons. Number One,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Target is headquartered in the same city George Floyd was killed.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: When George Floyd was killed, Target came out made an
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: announcement that they're going to invest two billion dollars in
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the black business. Two billion drum roll, and it starts
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: December of twenty twenty five. When Trump made the announcement
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: January of twenty twenty five, they dishonored that commitment. So
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: we wanted to hold them accountable because when they made
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the plage they had nothing to do with DEI. Secondly,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I am embarrassed Breakfast Club to say to you, Negro
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: spend twelve million dollars a day in Target, and I
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: don't know any black business that amasses that much money
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: in any singular day day a day. Number three, Target
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: is on twenty seven college campuses and not one HBCU.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Number four outside of the federal government, Target is the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: largest employer of black people. There are four hundred thousand
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Black people on payroll and don't honor us. So if
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: we're given that kind of money, that much human capital,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and to not honor us, I think is dismally disrespected.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: And because they're publicly traded, we wanted to see what
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: will happen in those forty days that shows the data,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: this is the impact when black people walk away, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: to share it with those sharecrops, so it will not
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: just be forty days. But every movement has to have
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a benchmark, has got to have a strategy, and you
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: got to have some data.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: What do you say, call it not a boycott? Yeah?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I called it a fast because this was a call
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to the Black church to become active. Something happened silently
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that scholars and historians are going to have to pay
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: attention to the rise of Black Lives Matter. Charlemagne was
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the very first movement of civil rights for black people
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: that was not berthed out of the church, the very
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: first civil rights movement that happened that didn't have a
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: religious leader at the front, and so the Black church
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: is going backwards. This is the largest demographic of black
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: people since we've been in America who don't go to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: church at all, who don't subscribe to organize religion, where
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: at twenty eight percent, the largest amount of Black people
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: who self identify as atheists, who say they don't believe
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: in God, don't believe in nothing. So this was a call,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: specif specifically for Black Christians to show the younger generation
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: our head is not in the sand. We're a part
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: of it, but we're aligning it with prayer that those
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: forty days is a high holy season for the Christian community.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: We're praying because this is a spiritual warfare that we're
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: under with JD. Vance and Donald Trump, with all of
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the things that are happening with these executive orders. Marching
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: is good, protesting is necessary, Petitions are important, but if
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: we don't bring a spiritual grounding to it, I think
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: that we're going to miss it. During the Montgomery bus
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: boycott that lasts three hundred and eighty one days. What
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: nobody talks about is for three hundred and eighty one days,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: every night they went back to the church for prayer.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: So I think that in the movement, you've got to
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: have a faith entity intertwined in it in order for
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you to move forward.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: What he said to some of the people that have
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: black products in Target, they say that, you know, because
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: of this boycott. If a boycott happens and people are
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: stopping go to Target, that is going to affect their
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: products even more.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: We had the co.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Founders of Rocket Roots in the Breakfast Club found the
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: lit Bar, and they were saying that if people don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: come into the store, which Target is their hugest manufacturer,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the hugest buyer, So what happens to those products?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: And number one, the lit Bar and all of those
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: entities understand a new thing out called drop Ship. You
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: don't have to go in the physical store to help them.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Because of that. In Foresight, we partner with the US
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Black Chamber of Commerce. So every person that goes to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: targetfast dot org, within an hour, I send you a
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: digital directory of three hundred thousand black businesses across the country.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: So we don't want those businesses to be adversely impacted.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: We want people to support them, but do it online.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I can support the lit bar and not go into
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Target to do it. I can go online to do it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And so I think that as innovative and creative people,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: as black people are, let's do it online. We do
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: everything else online. So let's support them. And the one
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: thousand black vendors who are placed in Target, we're gonna
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: prominently place on the website so that you'll be able
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to find them quickly without any post.
• 16:14
  Speaker 16: Two things to what you're saying.
• 16:15
  Speaker 18: So the first thing when they were up here, they
• 16:16
  Speaker 18: talked about the inventory and just how much money they
• 16:20
  Speaker 18: have to put ahead to be in the stores that
• 16:21
  Speaker 18: comes out of their own pocket that they will lose
• 16:24
  Speaker 18: out on if people do not, if they're not supporting
• 16:27
  Speaker 18: these companies or whatever. So even if you're buying it
• 16:30
  Speaker 18: from their website, because they're already in contract for this
• 16:32
  Speaker 18: amount of inventory with alloted to Target, they lose out it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 16: They don't profit on that.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Now, yes, well, that money has already been spent. A
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: movement comes with inconvenience. It came that same argument happened
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: in the Montgomery bus boycod the question was asked, what
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: do we do for the bust mechanics who are all black?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: So what they did is they pulled all of those
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: bust mechanics out of Montgomery and set up garages at
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the churches. When nobody is talking about is four mechanic
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: shops came out of it. So I understand that it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: an inconvenience. I know we got to go a different route,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: but I would then say that's up. The ant is
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a business principle. Let's buy more to cover what is
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: that loss? Companies take losses all the time.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: But a group of.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Misguided preachers went into Target in Detroit and said, let's
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: just buy black inventory and come out. You're still supporting Target,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So I think that we've got to come away, even
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: if we got to raise the price in order to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: make the balance. Let's do it. One of the things
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: that black people do wrong whenever it is with supporting
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: black business. We always want a discount. Let's pay full
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: price and support them. Let's not just do it with
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: lip service, but let's do it through the investment.
• 17:46
  Speaker 18: Though women from Rocker Roots I own Jamison and Ellen
• 17:48
  Speaker 18: Seller's talked about how even in Walmart's majority of their
• 17:52
  Speaker 18: clients hell that they make a large amount of their
• 17:54
  Speaker 18: money off of on those products. They don't have the
• 17:57
  Speaker 18: access to the dot com So being able to walk
• 17:59
  Speaker 18: into like this, it's just different in some of the
• 18:01
  Speaker 18: lower royal areas. So being able to walk into a
• 18:04
  Speaker 18: Walmart or a Target helps them as far as invatory
• 18:07
  Speaker 18: and creates access for those people.
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: What about that?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that we've got to ask ourselves what
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: is the principle and is the principle more important than
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the profit. You've got a whole lot of churches who
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: have space that is underutilized and under used. The fact
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: that in twenty twenty five we don't have a minority
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: owned retail space to direct people on says that we
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: got to reevaluate how we do business. So going into
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Target to buy whatever this product is to say, Hey,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: forget that they don't honor us, forget that they've disrespected
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the George Floyd family, forget that they are only allowing
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: black people on entry level positions. Let's do it for lipstick.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I think that we're losing the larger conversation. I want
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to see the sisters win. I want to see them
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: do overwhelmingly well. But I think that we got to
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: get into a room and figure out how do we
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: make it more accessible for those in rural areas. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: don't think that the answer is to keep shooting ourselves in.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: The foot and then ask for a cast or when
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: we ever get there, past it, Like you know, we
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: want to get there, right. Will we ever own our
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: own Target slash Walmart? Where we ever own our own
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: car manufacturer? Will we ever own our own so we
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: can rely on it? It just seems like we're far
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: stretched from that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So one of the things that we're asking for
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Target to do, and for all of the demands that
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: we're asking of Target, please go to targetfast dot org.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I'm asking Target to partner with ten HBCUs to show
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: our businesses how to scale up and to go into
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the retail space repend Shopton is one of my mentors.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: But in the history of black people, we have never
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: marched black people into a white business to say, spend
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: money here. So we got to figure out how it
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: is that we really re route and redirect so that
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: we can create and eat system for us to be
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: able to do. I think that is possible, but as
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: a plan that has.
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: To be a foot in order to make it done.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I saw you say that Target has been trying to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: reach out to you. Yes, I'm gonna talk no diversity. No,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you may not have a job next week. You reached
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: out during Black History. Remind I don't know if you're
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: gonna make it to Saint Patrickstown.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I need somebody who got some job security and got
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: some influence to make a decision. I think this generation
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: don't want symbolic wins, they want substantive strides. And if
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you're just doing that to say we met, we talked, autistreet,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: credibility is gone. I need somebody who can make a decision.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: And you gotta ask Envy, what's in the mind of
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: a CEO that can lose twelve million dollars a day
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: and say I'm not meet.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: So the person that reached out to you felt had
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: no influence?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not enough influence. Yeah, So you're gonna send the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: black people out to talk to the black black guy,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: go talk to the black out of them down?
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah no, no, no, no, no.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I need to talk to the CEO or I need
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to talk to somebody who is on that board of
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Target who can really help me understand where you are
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and if you all are being punked by jd Vance
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: and Trump, tell me that let's figure out how we
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: can walk alongside each other.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: What it is, Yeah, that's what it is.
• 21:20
  Speaker 18: Yeah, So I know that talking about meeting Eventually y'all
• 21:24
  Speaker 18: want to have a conversation or there is something schedule
• 21:26
  Speaker 18: right You guys will be meeting June twelfth in Minneapolis.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: That's when their stockholders meeting is. Yeah, so we are
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: planning on going now. I'm hoping that we have resolved
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: by them, That's what I was getting. Yes, we can't
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: wait till June, but June twelfth and there. Now it's
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: an underground murmur that they don't even want to do
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: an in person share holds me. They want to do
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: it by zoom.
• 21:49
  Speaker 16: They don't want you guys to show me yes.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: But that's why it's important for you to have the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: data to show how this has been impacted, how much
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: money you've lost in the stock and what is at stake.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: So we wanted to take take all of that to
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the shareholders meeting June twelfth.
• 22:05
  Speaker 16: My last question for you, where are you at now?
• 22:06
  Speaker 18: Numbers wives, because I know you were looking to get
• 22:08

  Speaker 2: to one fifty. We got we got to get to

• 27:03
  Speaker 5: One thing that you just enjoy cooking, And what's one
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: thing that you don't necessarily like cooking but everybody wants.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Everybody wants my potato salad because it's so good. But
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: I don't feel like cutting up all that stuff, you know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: because you have to do fresh ingredients. So that's what
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: they want. But I don't feel like doing it all,
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: But I do it. I'm going to do it for Christmas.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: And macaroni. Instead of buying my macaroni, I have to
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: make my own macaroni because Zori wants it. Zori is
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: my son who said, min don't buy your own stuff,
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: going in that kitchen and cook it. So I have
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: to make macaroni for him.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: It's Christmas enough to cook for himself now.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: And guess what, it's no that boy cook is better
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: than me really well. His chili, his food, his roast
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: chicken and stuff that he just does. And I happen
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: to have a piece of it. He only gives me
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: a little piece and he won't tell me what he
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: put in it. So he's a wonderful cook. You know
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: we're gonna have a cook off though.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: He's the one you trust with the recipes, like because
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I know you've probably passed the stuff down, but everybody.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Can't do it like you can't know he doesn't. Yes,
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: he does it better than me. So but I'm mad.
• 28:13
  Speaker 16: Talk about how being in the kitchen just what it
• 28:16
  Speaker 16: does for you, like spiritually, So I get.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Such a happy feeling. And I know whoever I'm cooking
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: for when they leave, they're going to ask for a
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: takeout container, and that I love more than anything for
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: them to say I need seconds. Girl, That just puts
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: a smile on my face, I am more of a
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: cook than a singer, so I enjoy well, I enjoy
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: both of them. But I say that I cook better
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: than I sing. Sometimes, Yes, does it?
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: Does?
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: It make you go crazy?
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: Sometimes when people notice you for different things, Like I
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: have a twenty two year old son and I told
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: him I'm coming out here, and when I said your name,
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: he didn't say the music. He said, yeah, all stuffs
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: all over Target, and he knows you from that that
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: type of stuff.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: But my parents know you from your music and touring. Yes,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: make you go crazy.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: Sometimes it makes me feel great because they know me
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: for both things. And you know, I just feel good
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: all the accolades that people put on me and just
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: say that they love this and they love that. Excuse me, guys.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: My voice is like diminishing, It's like lo but I
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: like it all.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: You know, Singing was your passion. Singing is your passion.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Cooking is your passion. Do you ever think that you
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: could get paid off the passion of cooking?
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: Never? I would always want to give that away. You know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: you don't grow up learning how to say this is
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: gonna cost fifteen dollars for this chicken dish. You just
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: give it out and say I hope you love it,
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: but never to get paid. But I'm blessed, especially now
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: with all the products those. Yeah, I am blessed. I mean,
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna shy away from that because a lot
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: of people won't buy food from people entertainers, especially because
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: they think entertainers are lying. Most of the time. I
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: ain't lie, So that's why I love what I do.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: We were talking to your family earlier and we were
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: just saying, man, like, we don't know who uncle Ben is, right,
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: We don't know who that is.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: The people on these boxes, we don't know who they are,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: if they're even real.
• 30:23
  Speaker 17: I know, but you know me.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much for knowing me. Yeah, I am
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: so happy that people are accepting my foods and my music.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: You know, I am happy about all of that. Keep
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: on doing it, you know at eighty one, don't stop again,
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: that's right at all.
• 30:41
  Speaker 18: Did you ever think about it, because you said, like,
• 30:42
  Speaker 18: people don't want to buy food sometimes from entertainers because
• 30:46
  Speaker 18: they don't believe it. Did you ever think about like
• 30:47
  Speaker 18: not putting you at the forefront of it, just like
• 30:49
  Speaker 18: doing the recipes and the mixes and putting it out there.
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: Just front of it up.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: I could have done that, but no, my face is better.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 16: No, And that's exactly how.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and people you know, when they see Patty, that's
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: my girl. She has food that we're gonna purchase. Yes,
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: so no, I like it this way.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: And you have a bunch of celebrities who like license
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: their name, but your products always feel personal. So how
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: involved are you in the recipes and the quality control
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and decisions.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: I'm totally involved in everything. Zuri, Alex and Charles. They'll
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: go to the people that they have to go to
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: the sea to show my food and let them taste
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: my food. But before that happens, I have to taste it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: So sometimes we go back like ten times making the
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: sweet potato pies and make sure the recipe is right.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: So I'm totally involved. If there's no Patty in the decision,
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: there's no food work, you know.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Ex fact, I.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Wanted to ask you know for yourself, you would like
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: the bridge when it comes to the older generation and
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: younger generations.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you don't see that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you know the older generation or say I'm only
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: staying with mine, But I feel like you open your
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: arms to so many different people, right.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Why is that because it doesn't matter.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: If you're talking to Laurence's grandma on the phone, you're
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: just as kindness and you're talking to a younger artist.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Why is it that it's that thoughtful of Why? Why
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: does that mean to most of you?
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: It means a lot to maybe because they trust my
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: food and my music because everything that I do is
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: from my heart. It's like I said I would give
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: food away, but now that it's gonna sell, I'm not
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: gonna sell it. I mean that's just because it's from
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: my heart. Everything I do is from my heart and
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: will take time on the macaroni recipe of making sure
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: it's mine because I make it just like the one
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: that you're buying in the store. I make it like that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: I have to say that I have a little more
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: cheeses and mine than in this one. Maybe three more cheeses. Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 16: And I know currently you are number two behind Pearl
• 32:53
  Speaker 16: Milling and Walmart, Kroger and hd B.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: We know you.
• 33:00
  Speaker 16: We can walk in the storts and we know exactly
• 33:02
  Speaker 16: who you are.
• 33:03
  Speaker 18: I mean starting out in this and you're doing it
• 33:05
  Speaker 18: just so easily and gracefully like starting out, did you
• 33:09
  Speaker 18: what was the plan, Like was it always let me,
• 33:11
  Speaker 18: you know, go into these big retailers or like did
• 33:14
  Speaker 18: you want to just feedure people?
• 33:15
  Speaker 16: Like what would your goal?
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I wanted to go into the big, the big, big places,
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: you know, with my food. Like what's girlfriend's name? You know,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: shut up the girl?
• 33:31
  Speaker 16: No Martha Stewart?
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, who did you just say?
• 33:36
  Speaker 16: Tabitha brouh Oh.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: I love Tabitha, but ms Martha. She's doing it, and
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: so would Tabitha if she was not a black woman,
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: you know. So I know why bird things and all
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: that stuff. So I want to be big, you know
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: why not? And like you said, when you look at
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: the box, she said, Oh she looks like me, or
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: she cooks like me. So I'm buying and stuff. I'm
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: gonna cook my own because people do cook much better
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: than I do, you know. But I am happy to
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: say that they've been buying my food.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: What have you learned about ownership and longevity from transitioning
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: from the music business into retail and consumer products.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, it was so good to be an owner of yourself.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: It's just like with your music. If you own your music,
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: you know, you're so much better than just letting a
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: company take care of you. So I've learned with Zorri,
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Charles and Alex we don't make many mistakes when it
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: comes to now presenting our foods to the public because
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: they're truly businessmen and I am whatever. I am the
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: woman behind the I think I'm the woman behind the
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: through God, you know. So they do the hard work
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: and like I said, I'm blessed to be surrounded by
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: smart people and people who are not going to let
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: anyone take advantage of me.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: And I don't think you would know that that she
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: They fully own it all like you and your son,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: that you'll own it on. So every decision is from y'all.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Every time you put something out there, whether it's pancake batter,
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: whether it's peach cobbler, whether it sweet potato pie.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: It's it's all done and sort over from you.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, that has there's nobody in behind you a
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: water and your product down and making sure it goes here.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: Everything, And we don't mind doing it because that's what
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: we're supposed to do. A lot of people lazy out
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: and said, well, I'm go, but it so far, I'm
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: not going to do this. I'm not going to do that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: It will just happen. Well, my voice is gitting worse,
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: and yeah, we take care very great, Yes we do.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: You sound fine.
• 35:55
  Speaker 16: Everywhere with these other.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Queens, so much fun. We go back February nineteenth, we
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: start again, and that's been fun fine. I've been doing
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: my own shows also with my bad so I never stopped.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: I don't want to stop. But I'm recording, so don't
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: say god it's been fifty five years since she had
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: a record out. Well, it's been about twenty twenty years
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: and I've been working on it for the last year,
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: so it's going to happen.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: So you recording music right now, that's why you're talking
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: about your voice.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's been a lot of wonderful things that I've
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: been doing this working on mine.
• 36:41
  Speaker 18: So yeah, in the Queen Story, you guys, we were
• 36:45
  Speaker 18: talking earlier about you guys being top ten grossing tours
• 36:49
  Speaker 18: for urban tours as well, so that's.
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Really great, really, and the four of us have so
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: much fun, although we don't get to see each other
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: too much because we all have fifty minutes on stage.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: As soon as that girl goes off, that one's on,
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: and then that one's on. It's like a well oiled machine,
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: the way this thing works. And then there's those beautiful
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: little young princes you know, the girls, the babies.
• 37:18
  Speaker 18: Oh, they come on prior to you guys. No, yes, okay,
• 37:22
  Speaker 18: because they saw you there. You guys are both with
• 37:25
  Speaker 18: black promoters collective.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: Right, Yes, So, I mean they've been doing a great job.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: And it's just good that you see all black women
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: doing it together, which sometimes it doesn't happen, but it's happening,
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: and it's so even. It's just good. It's good. And
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: they all sing their faces off.
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: I saw them give you all your flowers too.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but yes from Kelly Roland and Beyonce was backstage
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: as I received these roses, and I well, they talked
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: to me about how they're on my shoulders and wasn't
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: her like people like Patti La Belle, They wouldn't be
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: Destiny's child when they were. Yeah. So I was truly
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: at it that night. I was a superstar.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: You can't be surprised when you hear stuff like that.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: I was when Zuri called and said, Kelly wants Kelly
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: wants to give you your roses. So I said why
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: and what I didn't really understand that her husband called
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: Zuri and said that Kelly wants to do something for
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: Miss Level And when I went, they told me what
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: they were going to do. I said, well, just called
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: me up. And it was just one of the better
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: moments of my life to hear the ovation and to
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: see the young girls Monica and they're all coming to me,
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: just giving me love. And you can't get that out
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: all the time.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: I feel like you would like you should like this.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Well if not you, who, yeah.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: So many others, you know, but if it depends on
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: who they like. And those little girls like Patty Patty.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's like, you know, you're you're kind of
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: like the last of a dying breed.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Like it's not too many miss Patty the bells left right,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I can't even think of too many of them. Of course,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: you know Stephanie Mills and the Shakakan, which is great
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to see all.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes, it's like so many of us, but there
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: are so many of us who aren't working, you know,
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: which is not good. It's just kind of sad because
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: those ladies can sing. But people forget black women quicker
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: than they do white so they're forgotten for the reason
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: is the color of their skin. And you know, but
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: we still persevere because I know, I know that I'm good.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: You know I'm not. There's like always compare myself with
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: my girlfriend Celine Dion if you asked me to, and
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: I always say, gosh, that girl killed that with with
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: her ratings or her cells and we did the same
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: song the same way, And you know, I gotta be real,
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: It's just one of those things. Do I love her? Yes,
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: But let's get a little even stuff going around every
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: now and then. You know that that would be wonderful.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Has been a challenge in the product business too.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: Hmm hazard Sorry.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: You think.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: You know they've been small and lately, the three guys. Yeah,
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: so no, we, like I said, we have something that
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: a lot of people work so hard to get and
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: they don't. They never stopped working, and nor do I.
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: So you got to keep on keeping on. Don't stop
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: because they tell you no.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, I still told me that you're taking a trip internationally.

  Speaker 6: I'm tired of that.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Too, grandkids running around.

  Speaker 6: right now there's never going to be a time when
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: I can say to the world this is my last tour.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: No way, And when they say it, they lie. Nobody
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: want to stop. Yeah, I can't stop this.
• 42:25

  Speaker 18: circulates from like Facebook to everywhere about you. They said
• 47:11
  Speaker 18: that You're serious was to be like it was sixteen
• 47:14
  Speaker 18: episodes and you were producing every single episode, And I
• 47:16
  Speaker 18: was in here asking people today, it's like that.
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: Is not true.
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: Child and stuff I've been reading about me, I said,
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: really at eighty one a half, twins, Yeah, twin real babies, congratulations, Okay,

  Speaker 18: Yeah, they said that you were creating the hospital for
• 47:39
  Speaker 18: homeless people to get completely free services.
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: Of course it's true. No, none of that stuff is true.
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: I did say that AI is the reason for all
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: of this false stuff going around about me. So when
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: people read it, they call fifty times they'll call him.
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: Is the truth to pay had Twins? Is it's true
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: that is building a house hospital? Is it true that
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: she's married? Is it true that she has this going on?
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: And it's all AI? And they're doing it not just
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: to Patty LaBelle, but to so many entertainers. They're catching
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: the heck because so many people believe that and it's
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: just not true. And the sooner we get the word
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: out so people can stop doing this having privileges to
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: just say anything about anybody, you know, it's it's not good.
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: In Twins at eighty one, that's Rosemary Baby, that did
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: you awful? It's awful.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: All the AI stuff is not.
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: It's just disgusting and when people believe it, it's worse
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: than that.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: Did hear what Jamaine do Pre said?
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: Jamaine Dupre said that AI singers should have their own chart,
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: like their own billboard for AI artists, their own.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Platform for AI artists and old stuff. It shouldn't be
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: mixed with regularitis.
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: They just need to shoot AI uh where you know,
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: and it shouldn't be two. It shouldn't be AI and
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: then real.
• 49:13
  Speaker 16: Yeah, no, yes, even though it's like the times are changing,
• 49:19

  Speaker 6: Better be watching me.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm good.
• 49:25
  Speaker 16: I was saying.
• 49:25
  Speaker 18: I know AI is like, you know, a part of
• 49:27
  Speaker 18: the times, but for real like singer singers like you
• 49:31
  Speaker 18: who've always like your craft. Like when people talk about
• 49:34
  Speaker 18: Patty LaBelle, it's like you can't get close to her.
• 49:36
  Speaker 18: Right when people have the argument of like whether we
• 49:39
  Speaker 18: should accept it or not, do you take it as
• 49:42
  Speaker 18: like a disrespect thing when people are saying, yes, you
• 49:44
  Speaker 18: should because this is where things are going.
• 49:46
  Speaker 16: You can't get around technology, yes, say that they.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: Should keep going?

• 51:43
  Speaker 16: day too?
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Well, sexy read don't here to day goes to a
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: woman named Shannon Teresa Marie Schwartz. She is a playboy model. Yes,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: that playboy. I don't know exactly what that means to
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: be a playboy model. I assume she's been in a
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Playboy or two and she has poles in a bikini
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: on the cover.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: Of Maxim Maggan. Yes, Maxim New Zealand.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: But we need to have a discussion this morning about
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: just how far a woman should go for her man. Now, Shannon,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: who I will keep telling you is a playboy model,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: has a boyfriend.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: And her boyfriend's name is will Helm Lewis Huntzinger.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: He was charged with being a felon in possession of
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: two hundred and five rounds of rimitting two twenty three
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: caliber ammunition and some drugs and other stuff, and he's
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: incarcerated in the Honolulu Federal Detention Center. Now, Shannon clearly
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: loves her man and is willing to do anything to
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: get her man out. But if I was her man,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want her to offer what she offered to
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: get him out. No, no, no, See, ladies, as a man,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to do anything that's going to
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: possibly cause you to be in the same situation that
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I'm in, And in this case, it's jail, and I
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: definitely don't want you giving what you gave away. See,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Shannon made a bribe to one of the officers. What
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: do you think of playboy playmate would offer this federal
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: officer in exchange for releasing her man? Let me tell
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: you a story. Then Shannon offered the agent blank to
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: helping persuade the judge to release her boyfriend. The agent
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: says he received numerous miscalls, text messages, and voicemails from Shannon.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Shannon told the agent that she was referred to him
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: as someone who could handle a situation for a high
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: profile inmate. Shannon, who was a playboy playmate, told the
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: agent that she was trying to secure her boyfriend's release
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: and asked the agent to meet with him so he
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: could see she was serious and she could give him
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: what she had for him.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: Ladies, this isn't the way.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the help, but do you really believe your
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: boyfriend would be okay with this? This is why you
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: tell men when they go to jail, don't worry about
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: what's going on outside. Okay, you can't control what your
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: woman wants to give someone while you locked up. You
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: will drive yourself crazy trying to control where a woman
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: wants to give someone while you locked up. And I
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: damn sure don't want you giving things to other men, okay,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: saying you're doing it for me, Shannon allegedly texts the agent,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I can help with whatever you need. Not show what
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: your services costs you paying him to service you first
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: of all, that's trafficking, okay. And you know what the
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: agent did after she texted, He opened a formal investigation
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: in the Shannon hot ass.
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I guess Shannon didn't know it was an open investigation
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: because she was too busy trying to open something else.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: The playboy playmate.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Shannon allegedly continued to contact the agent despite the agent
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: informing her I can't do nothing to help in regard
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: to securing her boyfriend's release, but she's a playboy playmate
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: to cover a maxim, so the agent agreed to meet
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: with Shannon. Also, because Shannon wouldn't stop trying to throw
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: it at the agent, the agent says she was persistent
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: in asking for help. Now, this is when the agent
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: was either trying to set her up or she was
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: wearing him down. Because the agent told Shannon that he
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: would have to continue communicating with her on his personal phone. Now,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I'm joking, he was just trying to set her up
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: because it was actually an undercover government device to monitor
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: their conversations. And during a meeting between the playboy playmate
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: and the agent, she allegedly offered to give the agent
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: this bribe he could ask a judge he was friends
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: with to help aid the release of her boyfriend. And
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: she told the agent, I'll give you some now, and
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: give you some with my boyfriend's release. Now, what would
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: you tell your boyfriend?
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: What man would be okay with that? Would you be
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: okay with your woman doing that? No, Jess, would you
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: do that for your man? No?
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Ladies, we love y'all, but don't be giving up what's
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: ours to get me out?
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: Shannon dinner arranged the second meeting with the agent. How
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: many dates they gonna go on?
• 55:29
  Speaker 15: This is too much?
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: And at the airport she gave him something. Remember she promised,
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: I'll give you something now and then someone he gets out.
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: But I thought you were investigating, right, That was part
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: of investigation to see if she would really do it.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Do what you never said it?
• 55:49
  Speaker 11: Yo, You got us on a tip like.
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: Earlier.
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: No no, no, no, no, no no.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: No oral oh backshot, but what's wrong?
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Get your thought the gun wristmas. She was offering him money, okay,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. She gave him twenty Yeah, she gave
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: him twenty five hundred at the airport and after the
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: meeting she was arrested in charge with one kind of
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: bribery of a public official and one kind of instruction
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: of justice.
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: And she's bar from communicating with her boyfriend.
• 56:20
  Speaker 19: Oh yeah, he's what I do that for. Yeah, oh yeah,
• 56:21
  Speaker 19: I do that for my man, Jess. You can't rob
• 56:25
  Speaker 19: me right, It's like, oh my god, I thought it
• 56:29
  Speaker 19: was like a legend.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's what you kept saying, mate.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Mate think she's a playboy play maid and she couldn't
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: wait to open her bank account.
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: The gut is that ridiculous. I can't believe y'all. Y'all
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: need to get your money to get y'all got kids.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: You're so funny, grow up.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Please give Shannon Teresa Maurice Swartz the biggest he hull.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: I can't believe these people at work with you said
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: open up and you put your he put you a
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: little seductive voice of how he tried to make it.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: Give you something, yes, money.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: Nobody says I'll give you some.
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: Money like that.

• 58:38
  Speaker 7: What is it?
• 58:39
  Speaker 11: What are you thinking about?
• 58:40
  Speaker 15: First of all, I think that it has served me. Well,
• 58:43
  Speaker 15: it's because it's never normal. I'm never comfortable. I'm always
• 58:48
  Speaker 15: wanting to do my best. I'm always you know, like
• 58:53
  Speaker 15: I'm always concerned about every moment, you know, will it
• 58:56
  Speaker 15: be good enough, will it be accepted, will it be
• 58:59
  Speaker 15: will it be light?
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: And so there's never a.
• 59:02
  Speaker 15: Moment where I'm ever dialing anything in, you know, like
• 59:06
  Speaker 15: everything for me is my first, Every project, every album,
• 59:09
  Speaker 15: every song, every moment, it's my first. Like I'm a
• 59:12
  Speaker 15: new artist, I'm a new I'm I'm I'm I'm a
• 59:16
  Speaker 15: struggling artist every time. And I think a lot of it,
• 59:19
  Speaker 15: and you know, y'all probably just even to test this
• 59:22
  Speaker 15: all the the the guests that you've had that have
• 59:25
  Speaker 15: come from a traumatic background, you know, childhood, abandonment, adoption
• 59:29
  Speaker 15: and all that, is that I think that you are
• 59:31
  Speaker 15: always chasing ghosts. You're always chasing ghost You're always looking
• 59:36
  Speaker 15: for that good job baby that Mama didn't give you,
• 59:39
  Speaker 15: that you didn't that you'd have had in those formative years.
• 59:42
  Speaker 15: So yeah, every moment is it is nerves and new
• 59:47
  Speaker 15: and so at the B yeah B two wars, I'm
• 59:50
  Speaker 15: I'm about to lose it.
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: Back stage, I'm about to pass.
• 59:52
  Speaker 15: I'm like why, And then I didn't know I was
• 59:54
  Speaker 15: going last?
• 59:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I was made. You went last. I was made.
• 59:58
  Speaker 19: And says you put somebody that like in the front
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 19: or the middle because it was so late.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: Well yeah, but that but but we stayed up.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 6: I know we did stay up.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: Wow, that's kind of y'all.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 15: But what I'm saying, though, is that you feel even
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 15: more pressure. It's like I'm not going last.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 11: It's like, you know, because you Kirk Franklin though.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 15: But I'm the gospel guy, and so you don't think
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 15: of your genre having a space like that. You don't,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 15: you know, and you don't even expect it, like you know, yeah.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 7: It's it's it's almost like it's it's an.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 15: Honor or even the genre to be acknowledged and and
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 15: even part of the the ecosystem.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 15: But when when I found out that I was going last,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 15: I mean, yeah, brother, you didn't want to be sitting
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 15: by me.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 6: Pressure was on.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 11: No, I was letting him go, so to you on
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 11: the tailor and Aaron Pierre was smelling the little.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 7: And I lied, I was like, oh man, who did that.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: Way?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 16: Because did you have gas when you were sitting next
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 16: to me? I ain't smell nothing.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: Well, I wasn't nervous talking to you.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 18: Okay, good right, because I'm I've been telling people since
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 18: I mentioned it's my first time meaning you.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: It threw me.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 16: I didn't know you were so like just normal and yeah, like.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: I said, he's a real Yeah.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 15: Why do you think people like, what are people expecting
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 15: for me to come in floating on clouds?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 16: Yes, a little bit, that's what people And I.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 15: Think that's unfortunate and I think that we got to
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 15: find ways to still deconstruct that it's I just think
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 15: that it stands in the way of people feeling like
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 15: that they can be a part of the family too.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 15: You know what I'm saying, Like like like everybody can
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 15: pull me in and be part.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: Of this God love wagon.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 15: It's like and and so it's always challenging for me
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 15: when when there's this work where there's this ideal of
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 15: what being a person that loves Jesus looks like. And
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 15: so I want to be the lowliest, the most humble,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 15: the most realist person so that you can see, man,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 15: that everybody's supposed to be on this bus and we
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 15: will be riding together.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 7: Man, we don't always know where we're going, but we're
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 7: riding now.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: The BT Awards, they kept showing you when Kevin Hart
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: was doing Common and then the whole twist was Kirk
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: Franklin was upset with all the Kevin Hart jokes.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, they must not know Kirk, so oh.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 7: I was it was so good.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 15: He's good. He's But then I'll also give you this side,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 15: and you know, and and and I want him cap right.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 15: It's I think that the biggest thing is for me
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 15: is that I always have to be careful because I
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 15: know that there's a community of the super religious that
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 15: if I enjoy something too much, then it comes across like, well,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 15: why he not, why he's not praying for him?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 7: He needed to walk out?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 15: And and so there's this there's this dichotomy that that
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 15: you live in when you say that you represent faith,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 15: that it's like I love.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: Gez, but I'm not Jesus. Yeah, I'm not him.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 15: I love God. I live in a body that ain't his,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 15: uh yet, until he cracks the sky and make me
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 15: more like him. Until then, I live in this broken house,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 15: and I live in a world where things are gonna
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 15: be funny. I'm gonna stub my toe and I'm not
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 15: gonna speak a tongue in the middle of night.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna cuss.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. You push me too hard,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: it's gonna be hands you know. I mean, I'm you
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: know I.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 15: I I am not a perfect person. And so when
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 15: something's funny and it's good and funny, I want to laugh.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: How do you stop yourself from laughing?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: Because he kept going and you know, Kevi, Kevin's gonna
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: keep going to and you laughing I feel like.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 19: Wife, you were, but you still was trying to keep
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 19: that sense of like all right, like you was like cracking,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 19: but you were like still containing yourself.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: I was because it was funny. It was it's funny.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 15: He's funny, he's good, and so you get to see
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 15: them perfect Kirk.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 19: But I think also what people don't understand is God
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 19: don't want us to be perfect anyway, and either like
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 19: I just you know, Jesus, they were not posed to
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 19: be perfect.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 11: That's why he made us in his image.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 19: But it's like if he if he put us here
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 19: and he knew, he know everything we're gonna do before.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 11: We do it, like he already knows.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 19: It's like we are not him, We're of him, you
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 19: know it. We're not meant to be perfect. We're just
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 19: meant to follow him, And in that.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: We always should be pursuing to be better matter.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 15: We want to be more like him, we want to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 15: be able to be changed in ways. There are things
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 15: that I see in myself that I want to grow
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 15: and look more like him.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: But I'm not on your watch.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 15: I'm not on your calendar, and how I get there,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 15: I am on his. And so I think that if
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 15: we Like I said something on this new digital series
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 15: album called dan if Kings is that we have to
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 15: understand man that that that that we are patients.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 7: We're not doctors.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 15: And Christianity is supposed to be a place that's a hospital.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 7: It's a hospital.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 15: If that's to be a country club, it's going to
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 15: be a place where people that don't have it together
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 15: could come and everybody can feel comfortable that they know
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 15: that they don't have it together. But when people come
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 15: to us in our community and they feel like that,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 15: we are more concerned about their their habits and their
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: ways being changed before our eyes, and you're not being
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 15: changed yet you're doing it's like that, then people create
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 15: performance anxiety. That's where the mask comes is because if
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 15: I don't look the way that you think I should
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 15: look soon, then now I gotta fake it till I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 15: make it, and then you never and then what happens
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 15: then you become a human doing and never a human being.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: They also, I'm sorry, I was gonna say back to
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: the B and T Awards, they were mad at one
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: of your outfits that you wore.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 16: They were mad at every I was about to say that,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 16: like the office had them.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: This year yeah, they said that you apologized for it.

• 1:06:03

  Speaker 3: But what at the I mean, it wasn't POM shows
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: you didn't have.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 18: So they tried to say brow Sorry, they tried to
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 18: say Kirk Franklin. Yeah, sorry, No, I don't think like that. Yeah, sorry,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 18: you just feel like it's so crazy, how like naturally

• 1:06:26
  Speaker 18: Kirk Franklin. He kind of like watching you at the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 18: BET Awards and seeing it. See God didn't want me
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 18: to call you, bro.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 7: That's what happened.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: Don't you call it bro?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 18: Talking about the awards show though, there were a couple
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 18: of things. So first, people were upset at the performance
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 18: in a hole like they felt like, yeah, I mean
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 18: I thought it was a great performance, but I think people, uh,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 18: I think it just goes to like the people that
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 18: you bring onto stage and how you uh I have
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 18: a quote here. I think it was Diedrich Cadam was
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 18: upset about Gloriala won in the award, but they also
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 18: called he also mentioned like things being like a mockery
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 18: of worship and like things of that nature. Do you
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 18: get tired of that conversation at this point or at
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 18: this point.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 16: Are you're so used to it? It's whatever, be.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: Real, brog.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: Own everything.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: I love.

• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: Is what this.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: God blessed him, and God blessed him.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: How did you feel about that?
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: Because some people were mad that in the gospel category
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: it was Glorilla in Yourself, it was Little Baby in Yourself.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: It was rhapsody, not your quote unquote typical gospel songs.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 5: What did you think about that that Glorilla won her
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: first BT award was a gospel record.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that? Primarily gospel artists.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 15: I'm trying to keep my eyes on the prize, trying
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 15: to keep focused on the things that really matter. I'm
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 15: trying to tell the world about Jesus, trying to tell
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 15: the world that for godspel of the world, that he
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 15: gave his only son, whoever believes in him should not perish,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 15: been the last in life. That's one man. That's one man.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 15: Everything else is just noise. That's one man.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 11: I feel like you meet people where they are.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 19: You've been doing that since I since I was a
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 19: little girl like, you know, I I feel like when
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 19: you say you meet people where you are, it's always
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 19: been saying you meet people where they are.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 19: Christ and Christianity and Church don't look the same for everybody.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 19: So if like a glorilla can speak to us the
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 19: youth young, you know, and you stamp it and we like,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 19: oh we know, Kirk Frank, this is all of our
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 19: mothers and grandmothers and aunts played and growing up.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 11: And she because she she is the bridge, you know
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 11: what I mean, Like she would be the bridge for it.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 19: And God uses everybody like you can use anybody, can
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 19: use a bum on the street, and can use a
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 19: homeless person. He can use you know, anybody to lead,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 19: you know, to so you can pay attention to bring
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 19: you to you know, to God and Jesus.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 11: I feel like it's not it's not Why is that
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 11: frowned upon?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean? There's a text.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 15: In Scripture there's this moment where the disciples were talking
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 15: to Jesus about people that were not part of their
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 15: crew that was also using his name and trying to
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 15: do things in his name, and they were upset about
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 15: it because they were not part of the crew. And
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 15: so they came to Jesus, they pulled up like, Yo, man,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 15: you need to go pull up on a boy in there.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 15: They over there saying your name and trying to do
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 15: boo boo in your name, and we need to we
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 15: really need to squash that. And and that Jesus was like, Yo,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 15: if they over there and they are still trying to
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 15: do good things in my name even though they're not
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 15: part of our crew, I'm not going to squash that.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 15: It's because they are still telling people my name. And
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 15: so I feel that it is the same that today.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 15: That Christianity has for so long been a country club,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 15: and you've had to have a membership, you've had to
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 15: look a certain way, like like like like like, let
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 15: me tell you. One thing that's funny to me is
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 15: that people always say to me and even Tammy, sometimes
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 15: it's like, you know, like y'all look younger the other y'all.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 7: Did when you first started. Let me tell what a
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: lot of that was.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 15: We were assimilating to what the church. If you were
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 15: young in church, you had to look old to be
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 15: thought of as serious. Like they didn't take you serious
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 15: if you did not look a certain way. So you
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 15: dressed though you had the long you know, if you
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 15: had the long jackets, you know, the squat toe gators.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: And you know had the big lamp.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 15: The first time I took it to Coja convention. We
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 15: were twenty five years old, and you know, God blessed Church.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 15: I got in Christ, love Church.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 7: I got in Christ.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 15: You know. But there's a certain aesthetic that sometimes you
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 15: have on ta me twenty five years old, got a
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 15: big old hat on gloves and she said, she said,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 15: I felt like trick or treat, you know, because we
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 15: were trying to assimilate. You're trying to do all the
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 15: things to be accepted as a young person. And so
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 15: now I mean, we're just comfortable being who we are.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 15: And I just think that it is really really important
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 15: to just put people back on the focus of mass.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: He's what matter, that's right now? What was the concept
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 5: of dinner? King's How did what inspired that?
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 9: Bro?
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 7: First of all?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: Bro?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 7: First of all, I am bro.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 6: Drag me.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 15: That's the motif of the show right now, Bro, Bro,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 15: And it's a beautiful thing, beautiful thing. But one thing
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 15: that I'm very excited about is that I just had
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 15: this idea that I've always been told that people enjoy
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 15: the way I hold court during dinner, Like when you
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 15: go to dinner with me, we're gonna chop. You know,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 15: we're gonna chop about politics. You know, we won't talk
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 15: to talk about religion, sex, We're gonna talk about whatever.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 7: And get it in. And so during my birthday, I
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 7: came to Atlanta.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 15: While I went to Atlanta, had dinner with some of
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 15: my good guy friends and they were like, yo, bro,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 15: you need to turn this in so this, you know,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 15: because I've had really great conversations. So with that, I
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 15: just thought about having dinner with black men and what
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 15: that could look like in that conversation. And so the
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 15: first episode shot in Atlanta, grew great food, chef, beautiful house.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 15: You know, you had Country Wayne, you had Uh Lou,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 15: you had Uh, you had Dval, you had d C.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 15: And it was an incredible moment. And the response has been.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 16: I've been telling everybody I know to watch it.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 7: It's been amazing, as like when you shocked at the response.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 19: Yes, especially with DC and how it gets deep in
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 19: high yacht man. I love that because that's my brother,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 19: you know what I mean? Yes, yes, yes, and you
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 19: know even Country Wayne, you know, like just you gave
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 19: them that safe space, that vulnerable place where they can
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 19: they can talk about things that they don't usually talk about,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 19: and they talk about but they don't go in depth
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 19: with it, you know what I mean, Like you provide
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 19: that and I love to see that.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 15: And it has been I mean, the response has been overwhelmed,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 15: like it has been so so you know, we've got
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 15: another one on deck coming up, so you know, and
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 15: it's just you know, dinner conversations with men with black men.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 15: And I'm humble and I want to thank everybody that's
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 15: been tuning in and watching it and it's just been
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 15: it's just been an amazing moment.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 11: And it's like men's therapy. It's like watching a men's
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 11: therapy session.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 16: It's each episode about fatherhood is gonna be different things
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 16: that make.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 15: Different different conversations. Next one is by being a boss,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 15: and uh, you know, we we are going to have
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 15: so many conversations that are just really just kind of
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 15: peeling back and just having a really, really, really great conversation.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 15: You're gonna pull up on one, of course, don't play.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 16: I think, no, I think, and Charlotte, I think y'all
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 16: be so amazing and sit down, it'd be fire because
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 16: it's like a real conversation, non judgmental as well.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 15: Non judgmental, non judgmental. And I want everybody to feel safe,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 15: and I try to lead with vulnerability and transparency myself.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 15: So I try to create the environment that makes you
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 15: feel safe and comfortable.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 11: Will there ever be a episode with you and your
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 11: baby boy, your son, It's.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 15: Not that I haven't thought about it. It's it's it's
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 15: it's because it's still a working part. I I would
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 15: want there to be real healing in his life, or
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 15: there is anything that that that that that puts a spotlight,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 15: they could even be more damage.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 6: It got it to his process.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 15: You know, I want him hope. I don't give a
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 15: heck about writings. You know, I was gonna say someone else,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 15: but I just want to hope and so whatever it's
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 15: going to be for his best healing. And a lot
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 15: of times that that happens with the cameras all over.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: What's what's your relationship now with them?
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 15: It's it's still work. It's it's it's still works now.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 15: The beautiful thing that has happened.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 7: Is, you know, I.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 15: Ran into my biological father these years and his what's
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 15: the most incredible thing about God? Everything that my oldest son.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 11: Needs, that's his profession, your dad's professional, biological.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 15: Father's fession, and I think you can impact that right, right,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 15: everything that my oldest needs. So my biological has come in.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: Because that's his grandson.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 15: So he has a personal interest and in.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 7: Him being whole.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 15: And it's been amazing, it's been well, it's been amazing
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 15: to watch, but it's still a process.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 5: You do you regret what you've done in gospel music
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: because it took so much time away from your family.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 7: That's an incredible questions.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 15: I think that any man, in my humble opinion, that
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 15: is ambitious and driven will always look back and have
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 15: regrets on how the people around them have had to
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 15: suffer because of.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: That because you, yeah, your family suffered, but you brought
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: joy to people. You probably saved a million in one
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: lives with your music and your dance and the word,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: But you might have hurt a couple in the family
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 5: because you weren't there. So how does that balance out?
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 5: And you know, as a father that works a lot,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: I feel that sometimes it's like, damn, should I be
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 5: home during this time?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: But I gotta.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, boy. You know you you you
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 7: have many regrets. Yeah, you have many regrets, and and
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 7: you have confusion.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 15: It's because it's it's it's almost like if you were
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 15: not driven, if you were not a dog, if you
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 15: didn't have that attitude, then you wouldn't have been what
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 15: you are.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 7: But you also know that many around you, whether.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 15: It's your wife or your kids, that they've suffered a lot,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 15: that they've gone through a lot because it comes with
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 15: a heavy price. And I think that for me, mine
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 15: also has another level of of of kind of dichotomy.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 15: It's because you also don't want to You don't want
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 15: the kids faith to be I don't want having to
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 15: do with Jesus because Jesus was the dude that kept
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 15: my daddy away. So I'm trying, you know, you've also
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 15: tried to have that new on space in that too.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 15: The beauty of my children, it's step mother, my My
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 15: My children are are are are great because of their mama.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 7: Tammy.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 15: Tammy has Tammy is like she just that Midas touched
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 15: you know she, But then how mama was dead. Tammy's
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 15: Mama's dad, Tammy's Mama's like that would be you know,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 15: step said midas touch and she knew I didn't have
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 15: a mama, So it's damn just a minus touched. But yeah,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 15: you live with a lot of regret. You live with
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 15: a lot of guilt. You live with a lot of questions.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 15: You live with that internal war of of of missing
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 15: things and and wondering what it would what it would
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 15: have been more like for you to be at home.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 15: But then at the same time, you also that dude
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 15: that wakes up in the middle of night with dreams
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 15: and ideas and ambitions and songs.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 7: You know, like I wake up in mid life with songs, and.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 15: You know, I'm at a basketball game and I got
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 15: to step outside to put something in my phone because
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 15: of song.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 7: Because if that song don't.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 15: Work, then I can't pay for that school, and I
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 15: can't pay for that college. I can't pay for that
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 15: your new car you on after you graduate. It's like,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 15: you know, there's that tension. It's because people are blessed
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 15: by your sacrifice, but then they're also hurt by your sacrifice. Yeah,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 15: and I don't know all the answers. I just try
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 15: to show up and be honest.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 11: What I love.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 19: I love that you said, social media is not evil,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 19: you know, it's broken people.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 11: They use it as a tool of evil.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 11: Right, So does commentary on social media affect you at all?
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I can't.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 15: Yeah, And I think anybody be aln to this. And
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 15: I think that we're all trying to do our social
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 15: media ask if we try to pull back, you know,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 15: like after the Beach Awards, I was like, I'm not
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 15: reading nothing. I don't want to read nothing. Yeah, I
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 15: don't want nothing, you know. And then you know, a
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 15: few days lady by yourself and looking.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 7: Please by Jesus, you know.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 15: So you know, yeah, you you find that at tension
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 15: and you try to do the best.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 7: I really believe y'all.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 15: And I know y'all gotta wrap me up real soon, man.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 15: I gotta believe. I believe that everything that we discuss
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 15: can be summarized in these major points of humans have
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 15: to be more kind to humans that we we Here's
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 15: the illustration before go right. If you are on an
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 15: island and the island is now slowly sinking into the water,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 15: and the only way off that island to the other
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 15: piece of bigger land is this rope, this type rope,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 15: and everybody has to walk across that type rope. Now,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 15: why mind you, they're walking over water that is shark invested, right,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 15: So if you fall off that type rope, But that's
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 15: the only way to get off this island. It's this
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 15: type rope. Everybody that is getting on that type rope.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 15: If you're sitting there standing there watching them because you
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 15: know you're he is coming up next, you're not going

  Speaker 15: that type you're not gonna be going, look at the leak,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 15: look at I even walking on it, right, look a

• 1:20:26
  Speaker 15: only way. There's only one way, and but we're criticizing
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 15: each other while we're trying to get on. That's the
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 15: only way. There's no boat, there's nothing. The only way
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 15: off the sinking island is this damn difficult way. We
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 15: should be praying people make it instead of complaining how
