- 0:37Speaker 8: Yes, it's going well. I have a lot of press
- 0:40Speaker 8: lined up between now. We actually started two weeks ago,
- 0:42Speaker 8: between now and four twenty eight. Actually my press goes
- 0:46Speaker 8: all the way into May. But I'm excited. It's the
- 0:48Speaker 8: first time I've been on a book tour. But yo,
- 0:51Speaker 8: let me tell you, yo, the pre sales don't don't
- 0:54Speaker 8: They don't work like you know what I'm saying. Because
- 0:56Speaker 8: I sell products, so tickets to comedy shows, I sell
- 1:01Speaker 8: everything else. I've never sold books before pre order, and
- 1:04Speaker 8: it's kind of hard expecting somebody to pre order something
- 1:07Speaker 8: that they you know, that they're not going to get
- 1:09Speaker 8: into like weeks weeks later. So that that's my only
- 1:13Speaker 8: worry right now. Like the pre sale game, we've been
- 1:15Speaker 8: very transparent.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Because you say you all over the place, but you're
- 1:19Speaker 1: at home.
- 1:20Speaker 6: That's yeah, yeah, I'm at right now.
- 1:23Speaker 8: I have I have President Baltimore, I've had Preston Virginia,
- 1:27Speaker 8: so yeah, I'm at home.
- 1:29Speaker 6: But yeah, I've been.
- 1:31Speaker 8: Doing press all over the place and still got more
- 1:34Speaker 8: press to come. But yeah, the pre sale game is different, yo,
- 1:37Speaker 8: definitely different.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Well, people are also, you know, dealing with a lot
- 1:41Speaker 1: of other things right now, life and life, and yes, yeah.
- 1:47Speaker 6: That's as well.
- 1:48Speaker 8: It's still it's just still hard to sell something that
- 1:52Speaker 8: you're not going to get until later. And I get
- 1:54Speaker 8: everybody going through things absolutely, everybody always.
- 1:57Speaker 5: People been buying books since the beginning of the time
- 2:00Speaker 5: the pre order, and yeah, so when pre orders it
- 2:02Speaker 5: usually they usually get it the data the book.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Comes out, and then as it comes out, more and
- 2:05Speaker 4: more people are reviewing it and tell people how great
- 2:08Speaker 4: the book is.
- 2:08Speaker 1: And you'll get it.
- 2:10Speaker 4: And once you get out there, more and more and
- 2:11Speaker 4: more people start understanding and getting diving into your book.
- 2:15Speaker 6: I think appreciate that.
- 2:16Speaker 8: I think, yeah, listen, I know it's going to be
- 2:19Speaker 8: a great piece of literature. It's going to be it's
- 2:21Speaker 8: going to do well when it comes out. I'm just like,
- 2:24Speaker 8: not used to pre sale. I'm not used to building
- 2:27Speaker 8: up to things like that. That's not how I, you know,
- 2:30Speaker 8: sell product or tickets or anything like that.
- 2:32Speaker 6: But yeah, just sharing that. But I'm very excited for
- 2:35Speaker 6: the release of my book.

- 5:48Speaker 5: What you mean she met, like, you know, a dominant,
- 5:50Speaker 5: highly athletic player.
- 5:52Speaker 1: But it's the WNBA. So it just hits hits a
- 5:54Speaker 1: little different when you say it.
- 5:55Speaker 8: Says this, it actually means what that's what a stud.
- 5:59Speaker 6: Actually means, A high dominated I.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Mean, I don't know if that's what it actually means,
- 6:03Speaker 5: but they use the word stud when they're referring to, like,
- 6:05Speaker 5: you know, great athletes sometimes.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Yeah, so they said coming to the stage the stuff
- 6:13Speaker 1: to one of the women, and there was like, she's
- 6:15Speaker 1: a stud.
- 6:18Speaker 6: Yeah, we're coming to the stage.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Is crazy man?
- 6:23Speaker 12: Good morning and b jas charlamagne. How y'all doing this?
- 6:28Speaker 1: I thought it was just me.
- 6:30Speaker 6: It's hot outside today.
- 6:31Speaker 11: It is.
- 6:31Speaker 12: It is hot outside today.
- 6:33Speaker 13: All right.
- 6:33Speaker 9: Well, we start this morning with the President facing backlash
- 6:36Speaker 9: over a controversial social media post. So The post showed
- 6:40Speaker 9: President Trump depicted as Jesus appearing to heal a man
- 6:44Speaker 9: with light coming from his hand. The AI generated image.
- 6:47Speaker 9: It drew immediate criticism, including from religious leaders and some
- 6:51Speaker 9: of his own supporters. It was deleted about thirteen hours later,
- 6:55Speaker 9: but the president says the image was misunderstood, telling reporters
- 6:59Speaker 9: that it's not what everyone thinks it is.
- 7:01Speaker 12: Let's listen.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't a picture.
- 7:04Speaker 11: It was me.
- 7:05Speaker 14: I I did first it and I thought it was
- 7:07Speaker 14: me as a doctor and had to do with Red
- 7:10Speaker 14: Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support,
- 7:13Speaker 14: and only the fake news could come up with that one.
- 7:16Speaker 1: So I had I.
- 7:19Speaker 14: Just heard about it, and I said, how did they
- 7:21Speaker 14: come up with that? It's supposed to be me as
- 7:24Speaker 14: a doctor making people better?
- 7:26Speaker 1: His lives never made sense, but that would definitely he
- 7:29Speaker 1: come up with that.
- 7:30Speaker 5: His lives used to be a tad bit better, but
- 7:33Speaker 5: that made no sense.
- 7:34Speaker 11: What's he just don't care anymore.
- 7:38Speaker 1: He looked like trying to portray Jesus. That's what he
- 7:40Speaker 1: looked like.
- 7:41Speaker 12: Exactly, and that's what everyone took it as.
- 7:43Speaker 9: So Trump says he he took it down to avoid confusion,
- 7:46Speaker 9: but he did not apologize. And this all comes hours
- 7:49Speaker 9: after the President took aim at Pope Leo, criticizing him
- 7:52Speaker 9: for opposing US military action against Iran and a lengthy
- 7:57Speaker 9: social media post. Trump called the Pope weak and said
- 8:00Speaker 9: he was terrible at foreign policy. Now the Pope has
- 8:03Speaker 9: been calling for peace, warning against threats of destruction, and
- 8:06Speaker 9: urging leaders to avoid further escalation. So yesterday, speaking to
- 8:10Speaker 9: reporters while heading to a ten city peace tour across Africa,
- 8:14Speaker 9: the Pope says that he has no fear of the
- 8:16Speaker 9: Trump administration and says that he's not looking for a fight.
- 8:19Speaker 12: Let's listen.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the debate with him.
- 8:22Speaker 15: I don't think that the message of the Gospel was
- 8:25Speaker 15: meant to be have used in the way that some
- 8:27Speaker 15: people are doing.
- 8:29Speaker 1: And I will.
- 8:29Speaker 16: Continue to speak out love, business against war, looking to
- 8:33Speaker 16: push on peace, promoting dialogue.
- 8:35Speaker 17: And multipilateral relationships among the states, to look for just
- 8:39Speaker 17: solutions for problems.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Too many people are suffering in the world today. Too
- 8:42Speaker 1: many innocent people are being killed, and I think someone
- 8:45Speaker 1: has to stand up to the same. There's a better way.
- 8:48Speaker 3: To do this.
- 8:49Speaker 1: What did Trump expect the Pope to say? The Pope
- 8:52Speaker 1: is all about peace. The Pope is all about love,
- 8:53Speaker 1: He's all about light. Of course, you don't want war.
- 8:56Speaker 1: What are we talking about him?
- 8:57Speaker 12: How do you pick a fight with the Pope of
- 8:59Speaker 12: all people?
- 9:01Speaker 9: And then later we hear from the White House the
- 9:03Speaker 9: President he doubled down, saying he does not owe the
- 9:06Speaker 9: pope an apology.
- 9:07Speaker 12: And so meanwhile JD.
- 9:09Speaker 9: Vans he's also weighing in, and he is defending the president.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Here he is the President was posting a joke, and
- 9:15Speaker 3: of course he took it down because he recognized that
- 9:17Speaker 3: a lot of people weren't understanding his humor. In that case,
- 9:21Speaker 3: I think the President of the United States likes to mix
- 9:23Speaker 3: it up on social media. And I actually think that's
- 9:26Speaker 3: one of the good things about this president is that
- 9:27Speaker 3: he's not filtered. He doesn't send everything through a communications professional.
- 9:31Speaker 3: He actually reaches out directly to the people.
- 9:34Speaker 5: No, he should absolutely send it through a communications professional.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I think that should all go through a filter.
- 9:41Speaker 12: I think that that is the consensus.
- 9:43Speaker 9: But this conversation out sparking backlash from numerous conservative groups
- 9:49Speaker 9: and given people amongst Trump's entire base, so and really
- 9:54Speaker 9: quickly to a major political fallout in Washington. So, yesterday
- 9:57Speaker 9: we told you about Congressman Eric Swalwell that defended his
- 10:00Speaker 9: run for California governor following multiple sexual assault or sexual
- 10:04Speaker 9: misconduct allegations. Well, this morning we're learning that he now
- 10:07Speaker 9: plans to resign from Congress. The move comes as he
- 10:11Speaker 9: faces a House ethics investigation and growing pressure from both
- 10:14Speaker 9: sides of the Aisle two step down. There was even
- 10:17Speaker 9: a possible talk of him the House voting to expel him,
- 10:21Speaker 9: and now his resignation could also trigger special election to
- 10:24Speaker 9: replace his seat. Now he's denying those allegations, but they've
- 10:28Speaker 9: come from a former staffer who claims she was sexually assaulted,
- 10:30Speaker 9: along with other women alleging sexual misconduct, and those allegations
- 10:34Speaker 9: are now under investigation. But that wasn't the only shake
- 10:37Speaker 9: up on Capitol Hill. Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez also announcing
- 10:41Speaker 9: that he plans to step down. They announced it on
- 10:43Speaker 9: the same day. Gonzalez he had been under investigation by
- 10:47Speaker 9: the House Ethics Committee over a relationship with a former staffer.
- 10:50Speaker 9: That staffer later died by suicide, so he was also
- 10:54Speaker 9: facing the possibility of an expulsion vote.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Yeah, it really feels like we were in two different worlds.
- 10:59Speaker 5: Like ethics, moral laws, they have to be enforced all
- 11:01Speaker 5: across the board, like why do we expect more from
- 11:03Speaker 5: others than we do the President of the United States
- 11:05Speaker 5: of America.
- 11:07Speaker 9: Pretty much, But coming up at seven when you get
- 11:09Speaker 9: to the checkout line. Does it feel a little different?
- 11:11Speaker 9: Lately a lot of people say they're feeling pressure. We'll explain.
- 11:14Speaker 9: We'll talk about it in the next hour.
- 11:15Speaker 4: All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. Eight
- 11:18Speaker 4: hundred five eight five one five one. If you need
- 11:20Speaker 4: to vent, phone lines wide open once again. One eight
- 11:23Speaker 4: hundred and five eight five one five one is the
- 11:25Speaker 4: breakfast club?
- 11:25Speaker 1: Good morning, Ray right, ray yo, Charlae mane yafy, what
- 11:30Speaker 1: up are we lost?
- 11:31Speaker 11: This is your time to get it off your chest.
- 11:33Speaker 18: I got an indoor pool, door pool.
- 11:35Speaker 11: We want to hear from you on the breakfast club.
- 11:37Speaker 19: We get on the phone right now, He'll tell you
- 11:39Speaker 19: what it is.
- 11:39Speaker 1: We lie. Hello, Who's this?
- 11:42Speaker 18: Heighten the tiring high breakfast fall?
- 11:45Speaker 1: Hey Karen, good morning everyone. Get it off your chest.
- 11:48Speaker 18: Carring just shout in, especially the Hunter for those that
- 11:53Speaker 18: know her. No, I'm open that County Public school drama
- 11:58Speaker 18: and I just wanted to get off my test. How
- 12:01Speaker 18: tricky the Transportation Department is. All of those beautiful big
- 12:06Speaker 18: signs about twenty one dollars to twenty nine dollars. That's gubbish.
- 12:12Speaker 18: There's basically pro rated paid a lot of people are
- 12:16Speaker 18: under the assumption that we get paid for just being
- 12:20Speaker 18: home during the summer. No, no, no, they take big
- 12:24Speaker 18: chunks of our pay pro rating it through the year
- 12:26Speaker 18: to rationing it out until the summer. So when these
- 12:30Speaker 18: people come in for their free training and their CBL,
- 12:34Speaker 18: they think they they're getting a really sweet deal, and
- 12:38Speaker 18: after they see the logistics, it's such a revolving door.
- 12:43Speaker 18: People come and go, come and go, and they don't
- 12:47Speaker 18: pay the people in Georgia a living sustainable wage yet
- 12:52Speaker 18: kind of they're exploiting single talents, whether it's men or women,
- 13:01Speaker 18: moms or dads. We're not making enough to make a
- 13:05Speaker 18: single household budget work. And bus drivers are no longer
- 13:11Speaker 18: for retirees. These are people that need to get their
- 13:15Speaker 18: kids to school and from school, that don't have any
- 13:19Speaker 18: extra cash to do after school or before school. These
- 13:23Speaker 18: average talents are just trying to do what they need
- 13:27Speaker 18: to do to basically provide for their families. And Gwnnett
- 13:32Speaker 18: County does not pay our bus drivers that drive our
- 13:37Speaker 18: most precious cargo are children.
- 13:41Speaker 6: We're all more.
- 13:42Speaker 18: All of these big franchise companies for the supermarkets, they're
- 13:46Speaker 18: driving merchandise a lot of these truckers get forty one
- 13:50Speaker 18: dollars an hour.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Plus.
- 13:52Speaker 18: I've been a bus driver for seven years and I'm
- 13:56Speaker 18: still only at step seven and that's twenty three dollars.
- 14:01Speaker 18: It's ridiculous.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, that's a travesty. It makes me believe they
- 14:05Speaker 5: don't care about the drivers, all the kids. Because to
- 14:07Speaker 5: your point, if I'm trusting you with such precious cargo,
- 14:09Speaker 5: you know I need to pay you like you carrying
- 14:11Speaker 5: precious cargo.
- 14:13Speaker 18: Exactly Charlemagne. At the end of the day, they throw
- 14:16Speaker 18: us a little bone. They give us a two thousand
- 14:18Speaker 18: dollars one thousand dollars bonus, and everyone's happy or a
- 14:22Speaker 18: bus drivers like, oh, we're getting a bonus. We're getting
- 14:25Speaker 18: a bonus. No, this is something that should be already
- 14:29Speaker 18: grants it. But our wages need to go up. We
- 14:33Speaker 18: don't have great Let's fight for bus drivers very wholeheartedly.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Salute to all the bus drivers out there.
- 14:39Speaker 4: I know a lot of them getting ready to getting
- 14:40Speaker 4: ready to go pick up their kids and drop them.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Off for school. But yeah, I totally agree. I'm so sorry, mama.
- 14:44Speaker 18: Yeah, check it out. Most a steas don't. Those busses
- 14:48Speaker 18: don't have a seas. So we have all of these
- 14:51Speaker 18: kids jam passed up this bus, hot, sweaty, red, god knows,
- 14:55Speaker 18: almost passing out. Why is it that you can do
- 14:58Speaker 18: that to children on a boss, But if you leave
- 15:01Speaker 18: an animal in a car, somebody's calling a car from you.
- 15:05Speaker 18: That's right, it's crazy out of here. Guys, everyone's parents listening.
- 15:10Speaker 18: Please appreciate your full bus driver. There's only one adult,

- 18:31Speaker 17: understand and testified.
- 18:32Speaker 1: I don't understand that.
- 18:34Speaker 17: That's the contradiction that I don't understand between black people.
- 18:38Speaker 1: I don't even understand. I don't even understand the correlation
- 18:40Speaker 1: that you just made.
- 18:41Speaker 17: Because people mad at Gucci for telling on him for
- 18:47Speaker 17: but people justifying Gunner snitching on Thug because they said
- 18:50Speaker 17: he wasn't in the street, but Gunn is lookally, why
- 18:54Speaker 17: would a dude that was in the street and kicking

- 19:21Speaker 5: person who allegedly committed a crime.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I can care le. That's what Gunna and Gucci did
- 19:25Speaker 1: in that situation, saying.
- 19:27Speaker 6: If you're gonna justify one this niche, you gotta justified it.

- 22:34Speaker 22: and Robert Johnson. And the non performers category you have
- 22:37Speaker 22: Alan Freed. Oh wait, I'm sorry this is the wrong here.
- 22:43Speaker 5: I don't sorry were nominated. You just named the people

- 22:59Speaker 22: Got in yes, six, Yes, okay, yes, I got my
- 23:03Speaker 22: order right, but in the early So let me redo
- 23:04Speaker 22: that again because the Early Influence Awards, I wanted to
- 23:07Speaker 22: mention Quen Latifa. So you have the Performer category for
- 23:10Speaker 22: twenty twenty six, and you have the Early Influence Awards,
- 23:12Speaker 22: so you have Queen Latifa MC light and then you
- 23:14Speaker 22: have Sila Cruz, Felati, Graham Parsons, and then they have
- 23:19Speaker 22: a Music Excellence Award in other nominees now on the
- 23:23Speaker 22: list that did not make it into the actual inductions
- 23:26Speaker 22: were New Audition, and that was a big conversation because
- 23:28Speaker 22: New addition, they were leading in the fan vote they had, Yes,
- 23:32Speaker 22: they had a little over a million fan votes, And
- 23:36Speaker 22: I had a lot of people that were reaching out
- 23:38Speaker 22: to me yesterday once it was announced, trying to figure
- 23:40Speaker 22: out why if they won the fan vote, would they
- 23:43Speaker 22: not have won or actually been inducted into the committee.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:48Speaker 19: So I think a lot of people don't know that though.
- 23:51Speaker 22: So there are different ways that you can get into
- 23:54Speaker 22: the induction conversation in the beginning. So first of all,
- 23:57Speaker 22: there's a nominated committee, so this is a small group
- 23:59Speaker 22: of his Indian industry professionals and artists who select the
- 24:03Speaker 22: list of committees. And then after that there's a voting body.
- 24:06Speaker 22: So this is more than twelve hundred experts. So these
- 24:08Speaker 22: people include people who have already been inducted, historians, music
- 24:11Speaker 22: industry professionals, and they review the nominees and from there, I'm.
- 24:15Speaker 1: A part of that voting body, by.
- 24:16Speaker 22: The way, got you okay? And so from there the
- 24:18Speaker 22: fan vote, which is weighed as well. That's the general public.
- 24:22Speaker 22: So that's what a lot of the fans were rallying
- 24:24Speaker 22: for and they were going super hard for new edition
- 24:26Speaker 22: for and that's the public votes, and that's where you
- 24:29Speaker 22: went and vote when you go to vote that Rock
- 24:30Speaker 22: and Roll Hall of Fame. And then the induction selections happened.
- 24:33Speaker 22: But yeah, there's a bunch of different things that weigh
- 24:35Speaker 22: in on the vote and a bunch of different people.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:37Speaker 6: So basically there's different rounds, different rounds. You gotta go
- 24:40Speaker 6: through it.
- 24:41Speaker 19: No, no, not rounds.
- 24:42Speaker 22: It's just a bunch of different things that weigh into
- 24:45Speaker 22: equal whether you're inducted or not.
- 24:46Speaker 19: It's not just okay, yeah, it's.
- 24:48Speaker 1: A little bit of that, a little bit.
- 24:49Speaker 11: It is.
- 24:49Speaker 4: So it's all collectively the way that you get it.
- 24:52Speaker 4: It's not just a fan votes, not just the industry vote.
- 24:54Speaker 4: It's not just the committee.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Yeah, all of it. You have a fan vote and
- 24:57Speaker 1: you have a voting body. That's it.
- 24:59Speaker 5: In the voting by Like Lauren just said, it's people
- 25:01Speaker 5: who are already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- 25:04Speaker 22: Yes, it's musicians and historians, industry professions.
- 25:08Speaker 19: Yes, I have a question.
- 25:10Speaker 22: How do you separate the industry experts from the like? Like,
- 25:14Speaker 22: what is the industry expert to the rock and fame
- 25:16Speaker 22: because it's being across so many different genres.
- 25:18Speaker 5: I have no idea. I'm I'm in the voting body,
- 25:21Speaker 5: and I'm an expert at nothing.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in a voting body as well. I just
- 25:23Speaker 1: have some experience.
- 25:24Speaker 4: But I do believe New Additions should have made it
- 25:26Speaker 4: just their history. I mean, they sold eighty eight million
- 25:29Speaker 4: records together. They started that group in nineteen seventy eight.
- 25:31Speaker 4: They've been relevant, selling out tours damn there since. I
- 25:34Speaker 4: think New Additions, but this opinion. All is not lost.
- 25:37Speaker 5: Just because you don't get in this year doesn't mean
- 25:39Speaker 5: you won't get in next year.
- 25:41Speaker 1: And I'm surprised Mario didn't. I'm surprised.
- 25:44Speaker 19: Yeah, I was surprised Mario Carey didn't get in.
- 25:46Speaker 22: But there was a statement circulating yesterday, and I know
- 25:50Speaker 22: I reached out to a New Audition or for a
- 25:52Speaker 22: rep for Black Promoters Collective, trying to get to them
- 25:55Speaker 22: just to see, you know, what their response would be.
- 25:57Speaker 22: And you know, all in all the conversation around what
- 26:00Speaker 22: the response was is like it happens. They mentioned the
- 26:03Speaker 22: Dave Matthews Been And the reason why they mentioned Dave
- 26:05Speaker 22: Matthews Been is because in twenty twenty the Dave Matthews
- 26:07Speaker 22: Band won the fan vote as well, but they didn't
- 26:09Speaker 22: get inducted. But then in twenty twenty four they were
- 26:11Speaker 22: actually inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- 26:13Speaker 22: So it's like these groups are still great and it
- 26:15Speaker 22: can happen again, and it fans rallied down.
- 26:17Speaker 19: You can rally again, you know what I mean?
- 26:19Speaker 1: And also salut the new addition.
- 26:21Speaker 5: I do think the New Audition should have gotten in, but
- 26:23Speaker 5: sometimes we spend too much time talking about what didn't
- 26:26Speaker 5: happen as opposed to talking about what did.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Wu Tang clan?
- 26:29Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, and today dropping the clues bombs for that
- 26:38Speaker 5: like Tang like come on, Luther's.
- 26:42Speaker 22: From the Bronx, so big up to the Bronx Queen
- 26:44Speaker 22: of t MC, like get the mentioned for the early

- 31:12Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to taking Alaska rt Yes.
- 31:15Speaker 12: Adam, don't ask me to name them please, Okay?
- 31:18Speaker 6: All right?
- 31:19Speaker 9: So we started this hour with new details in the
- 31:22Speaker 9: death of that US that young lady. She was a
- 31:26Speaker 9: US influencer from the USA and she died overseas. Her
- 31:30Speaker 9: death is now under investigation and it's raising serious questions.
- 31:34Speaker 12: So thirty one year old.
- 31:35Speaker 9: Ashley Janet, whose real name is Ashley Robinson. She was
- 31:38Speaker 9: found unresponsive in her luxury villa at a luxury hotel
- 31:43Speaker 9: in Tanzania. She was later pronounced dead. She was on
- 31:46Speaker 9: the trip celebrating her birthday with her boyfriend Joe McCann,
- 31:50Speaker 9: who had recently proposed But what was supposed to be
- 31:53Speaker 9: a celebration is now at the center of a growing
- 31:56Speaker 9: and complicated investigation. Authority say before her death, the couple
- 32:00Speaker 9: they had a major argument at the resort. It was
- 32:03Speaker 9: so serious that staff had to step in separate them
- 32:06Speaker 9: and place them in different rooms, and at one point
- 32:09Speaker 9: the staff they were concerned enough about her wellbeing that
- 32:12Speaker 9: authorities were contacted and shortly after Robinson, she was found
- 32:16Speaker 9: unconscious in her villa and rush to the hospital, where
- 32:19Speaker 9: she later died. Early reports from local officials they suggest
- 32:24Speaker 9: her death may have been a suicide, with claims that
- 32:27Speaker 9: she was found hanging from a door.
- 32:30Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 32:30Speaker 9: That narrative, though, is now being questioned. Her parents they're
- 32:34Speaker 9: speaking out and they're saying that there's no official cause
- 32:36Speaker 9: of death that has been confirmed, and they are actively
- 32:39Speaker 9: working with authorities and the US embassy to piece together
- 32:42Speaker 9: exactly what happened. And they say that they've received limited
- 32:46Speaker 9: information from the boyfriend.
- 32:47Speaker 12: Let's listen, she was a.
- 32:49Speaker 15: Light, She was a beautiful person, and this doesn't align
- 32:53Speaker 15: with who she is. I was initially contacted by him
- 32:58Speaker 15: to let me know that something had occurred and that
- 33:02Speaker 15: she was in the hospital, but it was very limited
- 33:05Speaker 15: communication and not with a lot of detail. I asked him,
- 33:09Speaker 15: you know when it happened and what where it happened,
- 33:12Speaker 15: and he told me that it had occurred. Something had occurred.
- 33:16Speaker 15: Eleven hours prior to when he was reaching out to me.
- 33:20Speaker 1: We found out that our daughter had passed from the hotel.
- 33:23Speaker 1: The fiance did not reach out to us at all.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Oh wow, is he back in America?
- 33:28Speaker 9: Well, that's the thing. People have been trying to contact him.
- 33:31Speaker 9: No one, they're saying that he hasn't responded. The parents
- 33:34Speaker 9: said there's been limited contact with him.
- 33:35Speaker 12: So no one.
- 33:36Speaker 9: Knows as of yet right now if he's back in
- 33:39Speaker 9: the USA or not. She is still there, and so
- 33:42Speaker 9: the parents they said that they're they're working to get
- 33:45Speaker 9: to her in Africa.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Are now how would he so quick to say it
- 33:47Speaker 4: was suicideal she was like, they're still investigating.
- 33:50Speaker 9: They saw a mark on her neck, and the mark
- 33:52Speaker 9: on her neck led to you know, the rumors of
- 33:54Speaker 9: her being you know, hanged.
- 33:55Speaker 8: But what if they but they also said that they
- 33:59Speaker 8: had reports of people saying that they had you know, arguments,
- 34:03Speaker 8: and they were.
- 34:04Speaker 6: Separated, worried about her well being.
- 34:06Speaker 8: So how could they, yeah, quickly just rule it a
- 34:09Speaker 8: suicide exactly?
- 34:11Speaker 9: And so the father actually he was on TMZ yesterday
- 34:13Speaker 9: and he was disputing that.
- 34:15Speaker 12: Jess.
- 34:15Speaker 9: He was saying, you know, there's been no confirm reports,
- 34:19Speaker 9: you know, as far as they're concerned that that is
- 34:21Speaker 9: exactly what happened, and so so damn self.
- 34:23Speaker 12: It's very very sad.
- 34:24Speaker 1: But where did the story come from that she hung herself?
- 34:26Speaker 9: Well, they saw the mark on her neck and the
- 34:30Speaker 9: authorities in Tanzania were reporting that.
- 34:33Speaker 12: But that's what happened.
- 34:34Speaker 11: Wow.
- 34:35Speaker 12: Yeah, so.
- 34:37Speaker 1: That's horrible. Sound like Joe mccannon got some questions.
- 34:40Speaker 9: Dnswer well, yeah, and so while there is growing speculation online,
- 34:44Speaker 9: including questions surrounding her fiance, he's not been charged or detained.
- 34:47Speaker 9: So as of right now, there's no official findings linking
- 34:52Speaker 9: him to her death.
- 34:53Speaker 4: I mean, it all sounds weird, right. Somebody passes away,
- 34:55Speaker 4: you tell the mother eleven hours later.
- 34:57Speaker 8: Yeah, and then you don't even tell them that she
- 35:00Speaker 8: is dead. The hotel tells them. And now we can't
- 35:03Speaker 8: get in contact with you.
- 35:04Speaker 12: Yeah. So sure, it's a lot. It's very very sad.
- 35:09Speaker 7: And switching gears a little bit.
- 35:10Speaker 9: If you are booking a summer flight right now, pay
- 35:13Speaker 9: attention to those bag fees because they are on the ride.
- 35:16Speaker 9: So we talked about this a little bit ago. So
- 35:19Speaker 9: what started with jet Blue in United is now spreading American, Delta, Alaska, Hawaiian,
- 35:25Speaker 9: and Southwest all raising their checked bag fees. So now
- 35:30Speaker 9: you're looking at around forty five dollars for your first bag,
- 35:33Speaker 9: fifty five for your second, and up to two hundred
- 35:35Speaker 9: dollars yes if you are checking a third bag, Jess.
- 35:38Speaker 9: And so here's the part to watch if you are
- 35:41Speaker 9: going to do it early. So some airlines will let
- 35:43Speaker 9: you pay on pre pay online, so it'll be a
- 35:46Speaker 9: little bit cheaper. So before you get to the airport,
- 35:48Speaker 9: it could cost you a little bit cheaper to do
- 35:50Speaker 9: it online, but if you get to the airport and
- 35:52Speaker 9: do it, it will charge you more. And think United
- 35:55Speaker 9: is doing that, and I think jet Blue maybe doing that.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Double check that.
- 36:01Speaker 9: But so yeah, and it's not just flights though, Shipping
- 36:04Speaker 9: is going up to so Amazon is adding new fees
- 36:06Speaker 9: for sellers, u PS, fed X, even the postal service
- 36:09Speaker 9: they're raising their prices.
- 36:11Speaker 12: And that is all due to the war.
- 36:13Speaker 8: Right already I saw the shipping prices go up. But
- 36:18Speaker 8: it's not that you gotta pay for bags.
- 36:20Speaker 9: I know. I said that just for envy, because he
- 36:22Speaker 9: had said Delta, what's his favorite.
- 36:24Speaker 1: But if you already gold member or something, you get
- 36:27Speaker 1: a diamond, sir, I get three. I'm I'm not I
- 36:35Speaker 1: get you get a couple of free bags.
- 36:37Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I think you get two or three. If
- 36:39Speaker 4: your gold platinum, you get.
- 36:41Speaker 8: Three Platinum, I mean sorry, diamond, you get three. So
- 36:45Speaker 8: that still applies.
- 36:48Speaker 12: Applies.
- 36:49Speaker 4: And I was yesterday, I flew to Like I said earlier,
- 36:52Speaker 4: I flew to New Orleans and back, and I was
- 36:53Speaker 4: very nervous about you know, spring break and everybody coming back.
- 36:56Speaker 1: But we flowed through that airport fast.
- 36:58Speaker 4: I don't know if ts A Works are getting paid
- 37:00Speaker 4: again or they back on duty, but it flowed. They
- 37:03Speaker 4: started get paid, okay, and I see no ICE members
- 37:05Speaker 4: in the airport, so it went through real fast.
- 37:07Speaker 9: Most of the ICE members have left stern airports. They
- 37:10Speaker 9: got paid on April tenth. Whether they'll get paid again
- 37:12Speaker 9: in two weeks, that's still what it's up for debate.
- 37:14Speaker 9: So yeah, thank you.
- 37:17Speaker 1: How much more money do these airlines need?
- 37:19Speaker 5: Though, right they're already taking an arm in the leg, like,
- 37:23Speaker 5: how much more money do they need?
- 37:24Speaker 6: Ezy?
- 37:25Speaker 12: Yeah for sure?
- 37:26Speaker 9: All right, y'all, Well that is your front page News

- 37:57Speaker 19: my favorite people to sup there? Yes?

- 38:03Speaker 22: my homegirl. It's always like we having drinks and just talking.
- 38:06Speaker 7: Yes, it's like a homegirl who knows all your business.
- 38:09Speaker 23: I love that.
- 38:10Speaker 19: No, I do you see you a lot?
- 38:12Speaker 9: No?
- 38:12Speaker 22: And I love that like it's nothing like when you're
- 38:14Speaker 22: interviewing and someone knows like the backstory.
- 38:16Speaker 7: I don't have to explain the whole thing.
- 38:18Speaker 1: So, so, what's the research today, Lauren? What have you
- 38:21Speaker 1: dug up today?
- 38:22Speaker 6: Dug up?
- 38:23Speaker 19: I mean, well, I just finished episode two last night.
- 38:26Speaker 7: Me too.
- 38:26Speaker 12: Uh, huh.
- 38:27Speaker 22: So when you're watching these Real Housewives Atlanta episodes in
- 38:31Speaker 22: real time, right, does your emotion flare up after the episodes? Like,
- 38:36Speaker 22: you know, because a lot of little things said, and
- 38:38Speaker 22: we'll get into the things I wouldn't say you would
- 38:41Speaker 22: think after this amount of time it wouldn't. But I
- 38:44Speaker 22: think I'm still trying to get used to the fact
- 38:46Speaker 22: that I took a break for so long, so being
- 38:48Speaker 22: in I was going for three years. It literally kind
- 38:50Speaker 22: of feels like this is my second year doing the
- 38:53Speaker 22: show because I just wasn't thinking about it and I
- 38:55Speaker 22: tapped in, so like, yes, watching the show like last night,
- 38:59Speaker 22: even first episode, I get emotional, like why you say that?
- 39:02Speaker 7: Or why was this said?
- 39:03Speaker 22: I definitely do do that now more than I used to.
- 39:07Speaker 22: So you wish me do y'all talk after these episodes air,
- 39:10Speaker 22: because after last night's episode, I'm like, I like, y'all
- 39:14Speaker 22: are like trying to happen with us. Well, I guess
- 39:17Speaker 22: just the invite was so the first episode when she
- 39:19Speaker 22: was invited to your house and she was trying to
- 39:20Speaker 22: figure out whether the invite was real or not or
- 39:22Speaker 22: whatever the case would be.
- 39:23Speaker 19: And then the second it was.
- 39:24Speaker 22: Weird it's it's dropped it in a chat for everybody.
- 39:26Speaker 22: Everybody came from a group chat invite invite to what.
- 39:30Speaker 7: So I had a party at my house.
- 39:31Speaker 22: I had a like a couple's dinner, like you know,
- 39:34Speaker 22: just a girl over fresh dinner, and I dropped the
- 39:37Speaker 22: invite in the group chat.
- 39:38Speaker 7: So it was that's how everybody came. Nobody had a
- 39:40Speaker 7: separate text.
- 39:42Speaker 22: But she felt like she wasn't for sure she she'd
- 39:45Speaker 22: even come because of where your relationship is right now or.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Whatever, you don't like her.
- 39:50Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know what that has to do
- 39:52Speaker 7: with me.
- 39:52Speaker 19: I just know this.
- 39:53Speaker 22: I just wonder like after the like that first episode airs,
- 39:56Speaker 22: or even in fact, I don't know in the second episode.
- 39:58Speaker 19: It just like not seeing y'all.
- 40:00Speaker 22: It's like Batman Robbin is just like so new for me,
- 40:02Speaker 22: even though I know, well, I don't know why you
- 40:05Speaker 22: would expect us to see us like Batman and Robin
- 40:08Speaker 22: because from fading the ending of Yeah, I mean, honestly,
- 40:11Speaker 22: the ending of last year's reunion, it didn't look like
- 40:15Speaker 22: it was gonna lead to us coming in and holding
- 40:17Speaker 22: hands and you know, fits bumping and chest bumping and
- 40:20Speaker 22: all that.
- 40:20Speaker 7: We're not Bosom Buddies, but I you know, at that time,
- 40:23Speaker 7: I wished her, well, I was cool.
- 40:25Speaker 22: I am you know, I've been doing this show for
- 40:27Speaker 22: ten years and I am still not to the point
- 40:30Speaker 22: of where I want to just exclude somebody, you know
- 40:33Speaker 22: what I'm saying. So I felt like, you know, it's
- 40:35Speaker 22: a party, all the girls need to come. I want
- 40:37Speaker 22: to just like refresh start the season with a good
- 40:40Speaker 22: vibe with everybody.
- 40:42Speaker 7: And so that's why I did.
- 40:43Speaker 22: And at the time in this episode in the season,
- 40:45Speaker 22: you were dating the guy that was there, I forget
- 40:47Speaker 22: his name, Mike, Mike, yeah, okay, And they had a
- 40:50Speaker 22: lot to say about the fact that you had the
- 40:51Speaker 22: party and what was before assignment in your house and
- 40:54Speaker 22: then Mike is there now and a ghost assignmon pops up. Yeah,
- 40:58Speaker 22: and then production got you know, they got him okay.
- 41:02Speaker 7: Okay, because they had him like that man is dead.
- 41:03Speaker 7: He's just not in the United States. He's not dead.
- 41:07Speaker 19: So Charlotne's a little lost.
- 41:08Speaker 22: So they were at a table having dinner and she's
- 41:11Speaker 22: there with her boot at the time.
- 41:14Speaker 19: Well, he has.
- 41:15Speaker 22: African descent, I got, but production had because the girls
- 41:30Speaker 22: kept talking about how they thought it was so crazy
- 41:32Speaker 22: that she was having a party in the house with
- 41:33Speaker 22: a new person she was dating, but that used to
- 41:36Speaker 22: be her and Simon's house, right, which is weird too,
- 41:38Speaker 22: right because yeah, you know, at the end of the day,
- 41:46Speaker 22: you know, you go to court, you know, and they
- 41:48Speaker 22: make a judgment, and I was awarded the home. I
- 41:50Speaker 22: pay every single bill, the water bill, the sanitation bill,
- 41:53Speaker 22: the yard, everything, so it's my home. I think that
- 41:57Speaker 22: is a way to show jealousy, to continuously bring up
- 42:00Speaker 22: like my ex husband in a new world that I have, Like,
- 42:04Speaker 22: I think that's just the way. It just takes shots
- 42:06Speaker 22: and really kind of belittled me as the boss that
- 42:09Speaker 22: I am, a woman who actually stood her ground, a
- 42:11Speaker 22: woman who actually you know, did her due diligence with
- 42:15Speaker 22: my pre nup and got something out of it. You know,
- 42:18Speaker 22: Kelly didn't get anything. So I think unfortunately there's a
- 42:21Speaker 22: little bit of jealousy there.
- 42:22Speaker 5: And once you saved the house, you good, you saved
- 42:24Speaker 5: the old stuff out.
- 42:26Speaker 22: You said it though, what you had mentioned one of
- 42:30Speaker 22: the confessions that had you and you was like, I
- 42:31Speaker 22: mean it was a little awkward. Don't remember what you
- 42:32Speaker 22: were calling awkward. It was something about the house and
- 42:34Speaker 22: being in the house, you know, with never that I
- 42:37Speaker 22: would have been probably talking about with Mike because we
- 42:39Speaker 22: were still new. Like that was really our first date
- 42:43Speaker 22: after have seen each other in like a very long time.
- 42:46Speaker 19: So like your first day after seeing each other a
- 42:49Speaker 19: long time, it's on real house.
- 42:51Speaker 22: Yeah, So he and I used to be a situation ship,
- 42:53Speaker 22: like we were cool, okay and yeah. And so then
- 42:56Speaker 22: my sister was like, look, if you're gonna start dating,
- 42:58Speaker 22: you know, you should just be honest and say you
- 43:01Speaker 22: know you're gonna date this person and date that person.
- 43:03Speaker 22: So it's like looking back, I was like, you know what,
- 43:04Speaker 22: Mike is a really good guy. Let me see if
- 43:06Speaker 22: maybe there's something there. So that's how they ended up happening.
- 43:09Speaker 22: So I had the dinner and you know, gave him
- 43:11Speaker 22: all that.
- 43:11Speaker 19: Because they asked him, how y'all meet? He said through God.
- 43:14Speaker 7: That's nice, they say, God.
- 43:18Speaker 5: Yeah, Say to all your male fans who are upset
- 43:21Speaker 5: that you are out with a woman.
- 43:24Speaker 22: Who are my male fans that are mad on you?
- 43:30Speaker 22: Them guys weren't gonna get me no way, Like.
- 43:36Speaker 5: These young boys right here hide now, but they trust
- 43:39Speaker 5: me when you walking by through this hallway.
- 43:44Speaker 22: You can still admire me. I'm still admirable and desirable,
- 43:48Speaker 22: but I do belong to someone else right now. At
- 43:51Speaker 22: what point in the season does it change and we
- 43:54Speaker 22: get to see that, Like what episode in do we
- 43:56Speaker 22: see you get away from dating and.
- 43:58Speaker 19: Being serious in a relationship you're in right now?
- 44:01Speaker 7: Oh, it took some time.
- 44:02Speaker 22: Like the whole point of dating for me is y'all know,
- 44:05Speaker 22: I come up in here. I think I've come pared
- 44:08Speaker 22: twice announcing two husbands to y'all.
- 44:10Speaker 7: So at this point, you know, it's like.
- 44:15Speaker 22: The first husband, Yeah, yeah, she'd be collecting rings.
- 44:20Speaker 7: But I'm slowing down. I'm slowing down the pace.
- 44:24Speaker 22: And so what you're seeing, especially the bachelorette on Housewives,
- 44:28Speaker 22: like I am just dating. It's real surface. I'm being admired,
- 44:32Speaker 22: you know, after going through a really, really rough divorce
- 44:34Speaker 22: y'all all know about for like a year and a half.
- 44:37Speaker 6: It was a lot.
- 44:38Speaker 22: So you know, for me when I decided to step out,
- 44:40Speaker 22: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think
- 44:41Speaker 22: that a lot of people are, of course dating, but
- 44:44Speaker 22: they're not on a reality show and showing it.
- 44:46Speaker 19: I actually am.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Do you even care about labels?
- 44:48Speaker 5: Like lesbian, bisexual, or do you feel like people are
- 44:51Speaker 5: just too obsessed with putting you in a box.
- 44:53Speaker 22: So I so when I first, I don't know, announced
- 44:58Speaker 22: that I was dating her or that she you was,
- 45:00Speaker 22: you know, one of the options. At first, I was
- 45:03Speaker 22: kind of like, okay, you know, are you a lesbian?
- 45:05Speaker 22: Are you by sexual?
- 45:05Speaker 13: Are you?
- 45:06Speaker 22: And I'm just like, I don't have a label, Like,
- 45:08Speaker 22: I'm just portious sexual.
- 45:09Speaker 7: I'm just exploring I am.
- 45:11Speaker 1: I am portious.
- 45:12Speaker 7: Sexual, you know. Now, I'm squaye sexual, you know I am.
- 45:16Speaker 22: You know, I'm just very free with myself and exploring
- 45:21Speaker 22: different parts of myself at this moment. No, I don't
- 45:24Speaker 22: mind if you want to call me a lesbion. I
- 45:26Speaker 22: don't mind if you know, bisexual is a phrase, but
- 45:29Speaker 22: I don't know what comes with that. You know, kind
- 45:32Speaker 22: of new with all that, but I'm not offended.
- 45:35Speaker 7: By it at all.
- 45:36Speaker 5: Do you feel pressure to define your sexuality out of
- 45:39Speaker 5: the public might be watching, so we see it on
- 45:41Speaker 5: social media, but it's the difference when it hits the TV.
- 45:43Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
- 45:44Speaker 22: I think that a lot of people probably feel pressure
- 45:47Speaker 22: to label me. I don't feel pressure to label myself.
- 45:50Speaker 22: I know who I am, and I'm just living my life.
- 45:54Speaker 22: And I think that if more people just decided to
- 45:56Speaker 22: live their life and not trying to find a group
- 45:59Speaker 22: or define themselves in a certain way, you know, then
- 46:02Speaker 22: you know that's probably best. I don't want to be
- 46:04Speaker 22: out here putting myself in a box. And then you know,
- 46:07Speaker 22: I don't need to be in that box.
- 46:08Speaker 1: That you're in the box.
- 46:10Speaker 7: There are boxes around.
- 46:13Speaker 19: Well, y'all.
- 46:16Speaker 7: In the box, come out the box.
- 46:19Speaker 19: That was done.
- 46:20Speaker 7: He walking right on into it. The cat is out
- 46:25Speaker 7: the box. O.
- 46:28Speaker 22: Can I ask you a question if you don't answer no,
- 46:31Speaker 22: because it's really personal about like, you know, dating, because
- 46:34Speaker 22: I heard you say to Angie Martinez that this is
- 46:37Speaker 22: your first time actually dating a woman.
- 46:39Speaker 19: You've just been kind of like curious before.
- 46:40Speaker 22: Right, what is the Is there an actual difference in
- 46:44Speaker 22: like the like what is the difference between dating a
- 46:47Speaker 22: woman and dating a man?
- 46:49Speaker 17: Like?
- 46:50Speaker 19: What what's different?
- 46:51Speaker 9: Like?
- 46:51Speaker 19: Why does it?
- 46:52Speaker 22: Yeah, it's a it's a good question. She has an experience.
- 46:54Speaker 22: Have you ever experienced that a woman or a woman experience.
- 46:57Speaker 19: I've never been with a woman before.
- 46:59Speaker 7: Okay one, not one of y'all, just both of us.
- 47:03Speaker 19: It's the same person.
- 47:05Speaker 7: In that chair, that's one of y'all.
- 47:07Speaker 22: But yeah, that's not a bad question, because, of course
- 47:10Speaker 22: at this point I'm now have dated both.
- 47:13Speaker 5: You know.
- 47:13Speaker 22: What I find with sway is I feel very comfort
- 47:18Speaker 22: I feel very comforter, I feel very seen, very patient.
- 47:25Speaker 7: I don't have to do too much explaining.
- 47:27Speaker 22: We communicate a lot, like we talk about our past
- 47:29Speaker 22: and who we are a lot, and so I just
- 47:32Speaker 22: feel like I'm really, really truly.
- 47:34Speaker 7: Getting a chance to get to know her now.
- 47:36Speaker 22: That may also be because we're going very slow, and
- 47:39Speaker 22: of course, in the past, you guys know, in the
- 47:41Speaker 22: three months I'm ready three month rule, where is my
- 47:43Speaker 22: you know? But in this case, I am definitely taking
- 47:46Speaker 22: my time.
- 47:47Speaker 7: With her, and it's just very soft.
- 47:50Speaker 22: And of course I have always been attracted to women,
- 47:54Speaker 22: so I get both of those. I get, you know,
- 47:57Speaker 22: the feelinine side of her, and I enjoy the masculine
- 47:59Speaker 22: side her.
- 48:00Speaker 7: The duality is amazing.
- 48:01Speaker 1: You said you had a three month rule that you
- 48:03Speaker 1: want to.
- 48:03Speaker 7: Be No, not a three month rule. Let me not here.
- 48:05Speaker 6: We are no no.
- 48:06Speaker 22: But usually usually both of my marriages they took off
- 48:10Speaker 22: pretty quickly. Even my engagement took off pretty quickly. But
- 48:13Speaker 22: you know, you got to learn from some of those mistakes.
- 48:15Speaker 22: And I mean, I'm forty four, I'll be forty five
- 48:17Speaker 22: this year, so I you know, I definitely have come
- 48:20Speaker 22: to a place. I know exactly who I am, and
- 48:23Speaker 22: I think that it's probably what has everybody so curious
- 48:25Speaker 22: about this lesbian impossible, you know, by by sexual et cetera,
- 48:29Speaker 22: because I know who I am and maybe they want
- 48:33Speaker 22: to put a definition on me. But as long as
- 48:35Speaker 22: I know and I'm confident and I feel comfortable, we
- 48:37Speaker 22: only have one life experience. I am living mine to
- 48:40Speaker 22: the absolute fullest.
- 48:41Speaker 5: You know, looking back at your past relationships with men, right,
- 48:44Speaker 5: do you see patterns that made you open to something different?
- 48:49Speaker 22: You mean that led me towards where I am now. No,
- 48:52Speaker 22: I don't know, absolutely not.
- 48:53Speaker 5: No.
- 48:53Speaker 22: I would never say that a man pushed me to
- 48:56Speaker 22: go be gay. I actually think.
- 48:57Speaker 1: That is.
- 48:59Speaker 22: Takes away from my experience completely because I did date
- 49:04Speaker 22: both the man and her at the same time. It's
- 49:08Speaker 22: just that's who I'm attracted to. That's just where I
- 49:10Speaker 22: wanted to put my focus into. And that's what you're
- 49:12Speaker 22: doing dating, right, You're gonna date and then you're gonna
- 49:15Speaker 22: see exactly where you can see growth. And I saw
- 49:17Speaker 22: more growth in a relationship with her than I did
- 49:19Speaker 22: with him.
- 49:20Speaker 5: It was it was never like a small penis that
- 49:21Speaker 5: was so small. It was like, I mean a lot of.
- 49:24Speaker 22: Men just don't have a lot of situations things going
- 49:27Speaker 22: on for themselves over forty anyway, people got to start
- 49:30Speaker 22: taking care of themselves.
- 49:32Speaker 19: They do.
- 49:32Speaker 1: You know, people have.
- 49:33Speaker 7: To women too.
- 49:35Speaker 22: We all hormonal walking around here perimen apozsal men walking
- 49:38Speaker 22: around and you know, having issues with their penises and things. Yeah,
- 49:41Speaker 22: they're having a situation. So but I'm not that type
- 49:45Speaker 22: of person. I'm very much into how you make me feel,
- 49:47Speaker 22: how to make you feel, how our energies connect. So
- 49:50Speaker 22: it's not all based off of the pen I don't
- 49:53Speaker 22: miss it.
- 49:53Speaker 7: I'm okay.
- 49:54Speaker 22: And it's all your family all on one a quarter
- 49:56Speaker 22: about it now, you mentioned before it's people. Some people
- 49:58Speaker 22: were like side eyed in a situation little bit me. Yeah,
- 50:02Speaker 22: I thought she said that on with Angie Monina.
- 50:03Speaker 7: Is that nothing, No, no, not with my family.
- 50:07Speaker 22: With my family, we have actually done every single we
- 50:12Speaker 22: were talking about that there that we've done almost all
- 50:14Speaker 22: the holidays together and with our family. We just got
- 50:17Speaker 22: back just now from going taking my family, my grandmother, grandmother, Auntie, everybody,
- 50:22Speaker 22: her family, her mom, her says, everybody to Miami. So
- 50:25Speaker 22: we spent a lot of time with our families combined.
- 50:28Speaker 22: So sorry, Yeah, we were just enjoying life.
- 50:31Speaker 7: It's kind of like you. I'm with someone now, I
- 50:33Speaker 7: can do all the things I got a.
- 50:35Speaker 22: Place, all this love I have in me, I feel
- 50:37Speaker 22: safe giving it to her.
- 50:39Speaker 7: Wow, I do I feel safe.
- 50:41Speaker 1: That's the healthiest relationship you've ever been in.
- 50:44Speaker 22: I think that I am probably the healthiest because I
- 50:48Speaker 22: am very accountable.
- 50:49Speaker 7: I mean, if I do something, I think. I also
- 50:51Speaker 7: played a part.
- 50:51Speaker 22: I can't say that those other relationships weren't healthy or
- 50:54Speaker 22: toxic just because of them.
- 50:55Speaker 7: I played a freaking part.
- 50:57Speaker 22: But in this one, I do check myself a lot,
- 51:00Speaker 22: and she checks herself, and we check each other, you
- 51:02Speaker 22: know what I mean. But we come back around in
- 51:03Speaker 22: a very loving way. So we're still in the very
- 51:07Speaker 22: beginning phases of the relationship. But I do think that
- 51:10Speaker 22: I am acting more healthy in this relationship.
- 51:13Speaker 1: That's the safest you felt in a relationship.
- 51:16Speaker 22: I will say in what I know I want and
- 51:19Speaker 22: what I'm willing to pursue.
- 51:21Speaker 7: Yes, because there's no pressure.
- 51:23Speaker 22: I think I had always from the very very beginning,
- 51:26Speaker 22: put pressure on myself to be a wife. I grew
- 51:30Speaker 22: very religious, and you know, I just saw myself as
- 51:32Speaker 22: the wife is the pinnacle role. You know, I was
- 51:35Speaker 22: a business owner. I you know, have my own penthouse.
- 51:37Speaker 22: I was a boss and had my businesses. But to
- 51:40Speaker 22: be married, I let all that go just to be
- 51:42Speaker 22: a wife, and that labeled meant more to me than anything.
- 51:45Speaker 22: But now being Portia, the most honest and truthful stance
- 51:49Speaker 22: that I can be in as a person is where
- 51:51Speaker 22: I feel most comfortable. So I don't feel the need
- 51:53Speaker 22: to be labeled and or anything. I want to be
- 51:56Speaker 22: the best meet and present that to her and to
- 51:59Speaker 22: my daughter her into the world. Like so, I don't
- 52:02Speaker 22: know it's feeling safe, I feel safe. Safety starts here
- 52:06Speaker 22: with me. I think a lot of where I thought
- 52:08Speaker 22: I wasn't safe had to be me making wrong decisions
- 52:11Speaker 22: because I didn't trust myself.
- 52:12Speaker 7: I was trusting what someone else wanted for me.
- 52:15Speaker 22: But I know me, I know what I want, and
- 52:17Speaker 22: anything that doesn't feel right, I'm gonna say it or
- 52:19Speaker 22: I'm gonna be out of that position. Are you guys
- 52:21Speaker 22: having marriage conversations or you're not even introducing that yet
- 52:24Speaker 22: because you want to do this differently.
- 52:27Speaker 7: Very slow.
- 52:27Speaker 3: Girl.
- 52:28Speaker 22: You cannot be out here, you know. And I can
- 52:31Speaker 22: say this now, you know, it's almost do as I
- 52:33Speaker 22: say now as I have done.
- 52:34Speaker 19: Okay that.
- 52:36Speaker 22: Yes, you talk about if you love someone, you automatically
- 52:40Speaker 22: you know, we're girls. What did they say? Everybody says, oh,
- 52:42Speaker 22: the gay girls, they move real fast. Yes, you, I'm
- 52:45Speaker 22: telling you. When you feel this kind of love, it's like,
- 52:48Speaker 22: oh my god, let's get a house of these cards.
- 52:50Speaker 22: But you gotta come back down to reality and you know,
- 52:53Speaker 22: just take it at a healthier pace.
- 52:56Speaker 7: So so that's.
- 52:57Speaker 1: What I'm doing. A phase. Do you diet change?
- 53:00Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 53:01Speaker 22: Well my day had changed on men too, and then
- 53:03Speaker 22: I divorced them when they were not good for me
- 53:05Speaker 22: as well. So your day can change with anything, you
- 53:08Speaker 22: know what I'm saying. And hers could change from me too.
- 53:11Speaker 22: You never know the future. It's so funny people be
- 53:14Speaker 22: under my post like, we'll see how long this lasts. Well,
- 53:16Speaker 22: we'll see how long anybody's relationships last. A lot of
- 53:19Speaker 22: people are getting divorces, a lot of people are whatever.
- 53:22Speaker 7: I don't know why it.
- 53:23Speaker 22: Seems like I'm like the first person to be gay now,
- 53:26Speaker 22: and I'm like, I'm not the first.
- 53:28Speaker 7: It's twenty twenty six.
- 53:31Speaker 22: But I think because people have known me so long
- 53:34Speaker 22: on television, I think when they did see me with
- 53:36Speaker 22: a woman, they thought, oh, she's just being freaky, it's
- 53:38Speaker 22: something small. And I think now they're saying, oh, this
- 53:41Speaker 22: is really who she is and she's exploring it. So
- 53:44Speaker 22: maybe people will learn that these girls who are on
- 53:46Speaker 22: the down low and men who are possibly want to download,
- 53:49Speaker 22: go ahead and live your life. Child, don't worry about
- 53:51Speaker 22: anybody judging you. You this is your one life experience.
- 53:55Speaker 19: You're so happy right now?
- 53:56Speaker 2: I am?
- 53:57Speaker 1: Are you in luck?
- 53:58Speaker 7: I am?
- 53:59Speaker 5: What the different between Porsche the person in love in Porsche?
- 54:04Speaker 5: I guess the brand that's navigating these headlines in this
- 54:07Speaker 5: reality TV world.
- 54:09Speaker 22: Well, I tell you what, I'm definitely having to try
- 54:11Speaker 22: to Porscha and love used to be mainly just focusing
- 54:17Speaker 22: on that person and centering them in my world across
- 54:21Speaker 22: the board, right discounting me. It's all about I'm now
- 54:25Speaker 22: in a relationship. This is me, Porsa.
- 54:27Speaker 7: Now I'm very.
- 54:28Speaker 22: Much in love with me, but I love me like
- 54:31Speaker 22: I don't know what it is, but coming up on
- 54:33Speaker 22: forty five, it is like, damn, like like I just
- 54:36Speaker 22: love me, like I love my mind, I love where
- 54:39Speaker 22: I'm at.
- 54:41Speaker 7: Period. I love me now like I do. And I
- 54:54Speaker 7: think that you know this new.
- 54:57Speaker 22: Appreciation for myself, and you know, I to celebrate myself
- 55:00Speaker 22: a lot.
- 55:01Speaker 7: I really didn't.
- 55:02Speaker 22: My manager actually had to stop me and say, Pooria,
- 55:04Speaker 22: you never ever celebrate yourself, Like did you hear what
- 55:07Speaker 22: I just say?
- 55:07Speaker 7: You'll call me with good news? And I was like, okay,
- 55:09Speaker 7: what'd you say?
- 55:10Speaker 10: Was nixt?
- 55:11Speaker 7: I Now I celebrate every little thing. I don't care
- 55:13Speaker 7: if it's.
- 55:14Speaker 22: Just like I got up and got PJ to school
- 55:16Speaker 22: on time and got to the gym that day.
- 55:17Speaker 7: I'm celebrating that. When you do that.
- 55:20Speaker 22: And start to talk really positive to yourself on a
- 55:22Speaker 22: daily basis, you do fall in love with the person
- 55:25Speaker 22: you're speaking about. But I used to speak so negatively
- 55:29Speaker 22: about myself. I didn't really like myself, so I will
- 55:31Speaker 22: only see myself through someone else's siety and if.
- 55:34Speaker 7: They liked me. But now I know when she tells
- 55:37Speaker 7: me she loved me, I know you're lying me.
- 55:40Speaker 13: I know you're not me.
- 55:40Speaker 7: I'm lovable. I know you appreciate me because I appreciate me.
- 55:44Speaker 22: And what's beautiful by this relationship too, And any relationship
- 55:47Speaker 22: that I think is healthy is if she if that
- 55:51Speaker 22: other person also loves themselves. Listen, I mean her family
- 55:54Speaker 22: would probably describe her the same way as me. We
- 55:56Speaker 22: are very wrapped up in us. We love us, we
- 55:59Speaker 22: take care of us, and we invest in ourselves. And
- 56:02Speaker 22: so that's just a power that's coming together.
- 56:04Speaker 7: So me as a.
- 56:06Speaker 22: Brand now being in love, I truly spread that through everything,
- 56:11Speaker 22: Like I am exploring more with Go Naked Hair, you know, yes, yes,
- 56:17Speaker 22: we did just surpass ten million dollars in sales with
- 56:20Speaker 22: Go Naked. We also just launched Align with Drew Sidor.
- 56:23Speaker 22: She has a wigline with me as well. Cynthia Bailey
- 56:26Speaker 22: has a wigline with me as well. I'm working on
- 56:28Speaker 22: doing some more with some of the other housewives on
- 56:31Speaker 22: Go Naked.
- 56:32Speaker 7: You just put more into everything else, right, you know.
- 56:35Speaker 22: And so even with pampre by Porschia, like, I just
- 56:38Speaker 22: feel like I'm able once my cup is full, I
- 56:40Speaker 22: can just pour a little bit here, pour a little
- 56:42Speaker 22: bit kind of everywhere.
- 56:43Speaker 1: So you're getting a lot of money though well you're doing.
- 56:46Speaker 22: Very happy for you though, because I feel like reality
- 56:48Speaker 22: TV in twenty twenty six, like it gets diluted sometimes,
- 56:52Speaker 22: but like you your genre and your like your generation of
- 56:56Speaker 22: reality TV.
- 56:57Speaker 1: Like grandfather, then y'all did it.
- 56:59Speaker 22: Yeah, like y'all did it the right way, where like
- 57:01Speaker 22: your brain will always sustain, like no matter who's watching,
- 57:04Speaker 22: how old or whatever. But when thank you you're walking,
- 57:07Speaker 22: When your daughter looks back at this era of your life, right,
- 57:10Speaker 22: what do you want her to be able to take
- 57:12Speaker 22: away as a woman. I want my daughter, And I
- 57:15Speaker 22: think about that a lot, you know, because even when
- 57:18Speaker 22: I left the show and I came back, I knew, Okay,
- 57:20Speaker 22: now I'm presenting myself again, and she's getting bigger, etcetera.
- 57:24Speaker 22: She just turns seven years old, and I can already
- 57:27Speaker 22: see her personality. She's a very strong person, strong minded,
- 57:32Speaker 22: she knows what she wants.
- 57:33Speaker 7: And she's going to be very powerful.
- 57:35Speaker 22: I just want her to embody that all through her life.
- 57:39Speaker 22: Just know, you are powerful, you are worthy. You can
- 57:42Speaker 22: do anything you want to do. It doesn't matter what
- 57:45Speaker 22: you go through. She's gonna grow up and see mommy
- 57:47Speaker 22: has been through a lot, you know, but most of all,
- 57:50Speaker 22: she's gonna see that mommy has fought for who she is.
- 57:52Speaker 22: I have fought for my place in this industry. I
- 57:55Speaker 22: have fought for my place and my mental health as
- 57:58Speaker 22: a beautiful, strong person. I fought for that. I've just
- 58:02Speaker 22: fought for so many different things, and I feel like
- 58:04Speaker 22: resilience is most important. But if she could just learn
- 58:07Speaker 22: this one thing, if she could just have joy, if
- 58:10Speaker 22: she could just really truly be happy in her life
- 58:12Speaker 22: and do what she is had what makes her happy,
- 58:15Speaker 22: then I'll be good Because I think, even though you
- 58:18Speaker 22: did say I make a lot of money and I
- 58:20Speaker 22: do a lot of things, none of them take from
- 58:22Speaker 22: my happiness. Once they just once they start taking it
- 58:25Speaker 22: from my happiness, they will drop off.
- 58:27Speaker 7: So if she can live that life of.
- 58:29Speaker 22: Just being happy and being able to be positive and
- 58:32Speaker 22: give that out in her world, and I'm be good.
- 58:34Speaker 6: I'm be happy.

- 1:06:29Speaker 22: So, speaking of moments, Jay Cole had a short lived
- 1:06:32Speaker 22: moment because remember we talked about him going over to
- 1:06:35Speaker 22: play for the Nanjing Monkey Kings.
- 1:06:37Speaker 19: What Nanjan monkey?
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: You call that man is half black and half white.
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: You ain't had to call that man that.
- 1:06:43Speaker 19: Let'sen.
- 1:06:44Speaker 22: He went on over there, he went took up place
- 1:06:48Speaker 22: in the Chinese Basketball Association, and it was very short lived.
- 1:06:51Speaker 19: The Nangene Monkey Kings.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: So I'll fight a white person. They called you that,
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: don't we go?
- 1:06:58Speaker 22: So it was so it was announced on April first.
- 1:07:01Speaker 22: We talked about here at the Breakfast Club. He made
- 1:07:03Speaker 22: his debut on April eleventh, and now it is over.
- 1:07:07Speaker 22: He is will no longer be playing because of some
- 1:07:10Speaker 22: issues that he had with a visa. He says in
- 1:07:13Speaker 22: his online blog that initially he was scheduled to play
- 1:07:15Speaker 22: in at least three games for the Nanjing Monkey Kings
- 1:07:18Speaker 22: of the CBA, but the work visa process took way
- 1:07:22Speaker 22: longer than he expected, so he was only able to
- 1:07:24Speaker 22: play in one game before he had to head back. Now,
- 1:07:27Speaker 22: during that one game against the Gangzou Loong Lions, his
- 1:07:32Speaker 22: stats read zero points and one rebound, one assist in
- 1:07:37Speaker 22: about eight minutes. So he didn't get a chance to
- 1:07:39Speaker 22: play any more games. But you know, he's been on
- 1:07:41Speaker 22: his blog reflecting about was.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: I wonder what that bad was to shut down and
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: go play three games in China? Did he play three?
- 1:07:50Speaker 19: To play three?
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: He didn't shign to play three? I wonder what that was? So?
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: Oh so he signed the Flay three. So he just
- 1:07:55Speaker 5: he quitn't apologize fans.
- 1:07:57Speaker 19: He didn't apologize.
- 1:07:58Speaker 22: He just wanted to explain why it wasn't happening, because
- 1:08:02Speaker 22: remember he was supposed to do didn't quit the visa process.
- 1:08:06Speaker 19: Oh yeah, leave him alone. I see what you're doing.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: What am I doing?
- 1:08:10Speaker 7: All right?
- 1:08:10Speaker 19: Well, I will say and be to your question.
- 1:08:13Speaker 22: Based on early reports, Uh, there were conversations about maybe
- 1:08:17Speaker 22: him doing a year, but that was a two million
- 1:08:18Speaker 22: dollar contract. But that was supposed to be like a
- 1:08:20Speaker 22: year long situation and that didn't happen. So but that's
- 1:08:24Speaker 22: based on reports, that's too long.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: He'll make more money doing show touring. That's what I
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: was thinking.
- 1:08:28Speaker 5: Maybe he get ownership of the team or a small
- 1:08:30Speaker 5: percentage of something.
- 1:08:32Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, we don't care.
- 1:08:33Speaker 8: About the money. He is so humble, he do not care.
- 1:08:35Speaker 8: He will go over there and pay and play for
- 1:08:37Speaker 8: free for the Monkey Kings.
- 1:08:39Speaker 5: Then you can't be half white on a team called
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: the Monkey Kings. You got to change the name if
- 1:08:42Speaker 5: you if you own the team, if you own that,
- 1:08:45Speaker 5: if you get ownership of that team and you have white,
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: you got to change the name.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: That's got to be number one.
- 1:08:49Speaker 6: A lot of monkeys.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: I don't like that either, Yeah, I think.
- 1:08:59Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta respect ustolto King. I don't like that
- 1:09:03Speaker 5: either though, But yeah, that's better.
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: Than Jesus Christ. I'm just curious because how old is
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: Jake called forty something? Forty years old, his name's gotta
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: be yeah. Yeah, he can't play a full season.
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: He'll be in pain. He hasn't been training precidice.

- 1:10:21Speaker 1: therapeutic for me.
- 1:10:22Speaker 5: Okay, it's therapeutic for me because I like logic, all right,

- 1:10:27Speaker 5: is logical and this gives me a chance to just
- 1:10:30Speaker 5: been about it.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: All right. When I say things don't make sense, they
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: don't make sense.
- 1:10:33Speaker 5: I truly believe that in the future we are gonna
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: realize how all of this new technology, the way we
- 1:10:38Speaker 5: consume information via the Internet, via social media, has completely
- 1:10:43Speaker 5: ruined and sabotaged our neurological pathways, okay, completely disrupted our
- 1:10:48Speaker 5: cognitive abilities and ways we don't understand, okay, the way
- 1:10:51Speaker 5: we think, the way we comprehend, the way we reason,
- 1:10:53Speaker 5: the way we problem solve, the way we process information.
- 1:10:56Speaker 5: We are gonna find out how technology has made our
- 1:10:59Speaker 5: cognitive ability of these extremely low. Isaiah Walker has exhibit
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: A for me in regards to this theory because Isaiah,
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: who is twenty something years old, was released from a
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: correctional facility and as soon as he was released, he
- 1:11:12Speaker 5: started thinking of ways to go back.
- 1:11:14Speaker 11: All right.
- 1:11:15Speaker 5: See, when he got out of jail, he spotted a
- 1:11:18Speaker 5: commercial car hauler. Okay, I was loaded with C eight Corvettes.
- 1:11:22Speaker 5: What is the cate Corvette?
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: Envy you a car guy.
- 1:11:24Speaker 4: Just a new Corvette that just came out I think
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: about two years ago. It just the newest model of
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: the C eight all right.
- 1:11:30Speaker 5: It was in that moment Isaiah decided he needed a ride.
- 1:11:32Speaker 5: All right, let's go to Fox ten Phoenix for the report.
- 1:11:34Speaker 24: Police moving on this morning across Arizona as suspect is
- 1:11:38Speaker 24: behind bars and coaches County accuse of stealing a semi
- 1:11:41Speaker 24: truck full.
- 1:11:42Speaker 7: Of high end sports car.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: The suspect told deputies he stole the truck because he
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: had just gotten out of prison and he needed.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: A ride home.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: Twenty three ye old Isaiah Walker is accused of grabbing
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: the semi truck driver at a truck stop near Wilcox
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: and throwing him out of the cab. Definitely a Walker
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: drove off with the semi carrying nearly a dozen Chevy
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: Corvette sights, the value more than one point two five million.
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: Coaching Stepanie and Wilcox police officer pulled over Walker for
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: driving recklessly. He's now facing serious charges.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: And this is why they call you nigga.
- 1:12:16Speaker 5: Okay, I'm not gonna let my cords all levels get
- 1:12:18Speaker 5: high this morning. I'm just gonna bit, okay, express what
- 1:12:22Speaker 5: I'm feeling. One point two five million dollars in cars
- 1:12:28Speaker 5: right in Corvettes, and Isaiah Walker's reasoning for stealing them.
- 1:12:32Speaker 5: Was he just needed to get home, He just needed
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: to ride home. Let me tell you something, Isaiah. Home
- 1:12:39Speaker 5: is where the heart is, and your heart is clearly
- 1:12:41Speaker 5: in a correctional facility. Okay, We're gonna stop acting like
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: prison isn't the best place for some people.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: And if it's not where you want to be, then
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: why do you keep doing things to be there? All right?
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: This guy literally just walked out of a correctional facility,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: just walked out of a prison.
- 1:12:57Speaker 5: He said he just really needed to get home, so
- 1:12:59Speaker 5: he decides to carjack a whole car hauler full of corvettes.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Now, all you need is one car to get home. Okay,
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: it doesn't even have to be yours.
- 1:13:09Speaker 5: Never in the history of life have you called Uber
- 1:13:12Speaker 5: lift or any ride shad company and they sent you
- 1:13:15Speaker 5: a truck full of cars. Okay, but this is what
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: I'm telling you when it comes to logic that doesn't
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: exist anymore.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: Not to mention, he tried to get away. Police got
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: behind him because the description was easy.
- 1:13:27Speaker 5: Hey, stolen semi truck, ten brightly colored Chevrolet corvettes on him.
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: Sheriff deputies were on his ass in seconds, and he
- 1:13:34Speaker 5: refused to stop swerving the hall of across lanes force
- 1:13:37Speaker 5: another drivers to have to drive off the road.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: And thank god he didn't hurt anybody. Okay.
- 1:13:42Speaker 5: He eventually stopped, surrendered to law enforcement, and they took
- 1:13:46Speaker 5: his ass home, and by home, I met jail.
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:13:49Speaker 5: The police asked him what exactly did he plan to
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: do with ten brand new Corvettes, and his anser was.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: He had no interest in the cause whatsoever. He had
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: just gotten out of prison.
- 1:13:59Speaker 5: He had to get back to Oklahoma and figure stealing
- 1:14:02Speaker 5: a semi truck was a reasonable solution to his transportation problem.
- 1:14:05Speaker 5: That was an exact quote. If that sounds remotely logical
- 1:14:09Speaker 5: to you, then do not pass. Go, do not collect
- 1:14:12Speaker 5: two hundred dollars, Just go straight to jail with Isaiah.
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:14:15Speaker 5: I would rather him say, hey man, I just got home.
- 1:14:18Speaker 5: I'm not trying to get no job. I stole this truck.
- 1:14:21Speaker 5: I got these cars. I'm gonna sell them to a
- 1:14:22Speaker 5: chop shop. But to say you did all that because
- 1:14:25Speaker 5: you needed a ride home, Please give Isaiah Walker the
- 1:14:30Speaker 5: sweet sounds of the Hamilton's.
- 1:14:31Speaker 21: Oh no, you are the doggee, damn the dogee all
- 1:14:43Speaker 21: the day.
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: Yee yeah, anything that went through.
- 1:14:49Speaker 5: See, I want to stop using the N word now,
- 1:14:52Speaker 5: and y'all want me to stop using the N word.
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: But what am I supposed to say when niggas be nigga?
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: Okay?
- 1:14:57Speaker 5: But I'm trying, but not for the reasons y'all want
- 1:14:59Speaker 5: me to trying, because I think you know N words
- 1:15:02Speaker 5: are immune to that word.
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: And I'm looking for something stronger. Okay. I was watching the.
- 1:15:06Speaker 5: Great show that is absolutely in my DNA, you see,
- 1:15:08Speaker 5: I got the T shirt on the day or the Boondocks.
- 1:15:10Speaker 5: I was watching it over the break and Uncle Ruckus
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: reminded me of the why we shouldn't use the.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: N word anymore, And it's because we need something stronger.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Can we hear it? Please?
- 1:15:17Speaker 20: No, I don't think we should use the way, and
- 1:15:19Speaker 20: I'll tell you why, because gonna have gotten used to it.
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: That's why hell they like it now. You gotta rotate
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: your race or slug now.
- 1:15:27Speaker 6: I know it's hard.
- 1:15:28Speaker 20: Death rolled off the tongue the way sweat rolled off forehead,
- 1:15:32Speaker 20: but we cannot let that be a crutch, especially when
- 1:15:35Speaker 20: there are so many other fine substitutes. Spade, punch, monkey, yeah, boat,
- 1:15:40Speaker 20: I'm saying, next time you're gonna call our dog yere
- 1:15:42Speaker 20: call that cone of jungle Bonnie instead.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: I agree, stupid spade, illogical jungle bunny. Yeah, yeah, I
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: don't like those. I don't care what you like.
- 1:15:57Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't like what the dumb ass boy did.

- 1:18:04Speaker 23: It's like closing one chapter and trying to like get

- 1:18:33Speaker 22: just spending with loved ones and you know what team
- 1:18:37Speaker 22: get you.
- 1:18:38Speaker 13: I'm ready whatever team is.
- 1:18:39Speaker 5: Y'all played in high school together and then y'all reunited
- 1:18:42Speaker 5: for y'all senior years at South Carolina.
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: What was that reconnection like?
- 1:18:46Speaker 23: It was just like a surreal moment. We didn't think
- 1:18:48Speaker 23: we was gonna play college basketball again together, like, well,
- 1:18:51Speaker 23: play together at all again. So being able to play
- 1:18:54Speaker 23: in our last year together, it was fun. We had
- 1:18:56Speaker 23: a lot of fun. You know, we dreamed of moments
- 1:18:59Speaker 23: like this, so just to be able to do it
- 1:19:00Speaker 23: with her, it means a lot.
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: What about you?
- 1:19:03Speaker 13: When she hit the transfer portal, I was like, Tanaya,
- 1:19:06Speaker 13: the three do this like you know, you know how
- 1:19:08Speaker 13: it is. I wanted to play with her. It just
- 1:19:10Speaker 13: feel like, I don't know, like a dream come true.
- 1:19:12Speaker 22: Like in high school. I wanted to always, you know,
- 1:19:14Speaker 22: I wanted to go to college with her, but that
- 1:19:16Speaker 22: didn't happen. She went to Florida State and was very successful.
- 1:19:20Speaker 22: I went to South Carolina and I was successful too.
- 1:19:22Speaker 22: But you know, God does things in.
- 1:19:24Speaker 13: A way to bring.
- 1:19:25Speaker 22: Close ones back together, and it's no better feeling to
- 1:19:27Speaker 22: just play with her the last season and do what
- 1:19:29Speaker 22: we did.
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: Understand well, that conversation, like y'all senior years in high
- 1:19:32Speaker 5: school and y'all decided to, I guess not go to
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: college together.
- 1:19:35Speaker 23: Well, Raven a year older than me, so she left
- 1:19:38Speaker 23: and went off before I went off. So I moved
- 1:19:40Speaker 23: back to Miami and played basketball in high school there.
- 1:19:43Speaker 23: But you know, I just wish her the best. I
- 1:19:45Speaker 23: know she was gonna do great things, win championships, but
- 1:19:48Speaker 23: she knew I was going to Florida State too, and
- 1:19:51Speaker 23: I just went to go make a name for myself.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: Did you ever consider South Carolina at all before Florida?
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: Fo?
- 1:19:56Speaker 24: Nah?
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't.
- 1:19:57Speaker 7: I didn't.
- 1:19:58Speaker 23: I did not consider South Carolina.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: Why just because you're from Florida and now, I just.
- 1:20:03Speaker 23: Really wanted to do my own thing. I wanted to
- 1:20:05Speaker 23: venture out. I wanted to make a name for myself,
- 1:20:07Speaker 23: and it it I am from Florida, so it's like,
- 1:20:09Speaker 23: you know, hometown. But yeah, I mean they had everything
- 1:20:12Speaker 23: that I needed and in order for me to be
- 1:20:14Speaker 23: the best player that I could be.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: You didn't try to convince her, Oh.
- 1:20:17Speaker 22: I I tried my best, but we had like what
- 1:20:19Speaker 22: sixteen players on the rosters did. I was just I
- 1:20:22Speaker 22: was thinking of her like being successful to playing and
- 1:20:25Speaker 22: I know that's what she wanted. So I feel like,
- 1:20:27Speaker 22: you know, what she committed to was a great decision,
- 1:20:30Speaker 22: is't it?
- 1:20:30Speaker 9: All?
- 1:20:30Speaker 16: Right?
- 1:20:31Speaker 13: She came to South Carolina and it was meant to be.
- 1:20:34Speaker 5: Have you ever Raven sat back and thought about all
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: the adversity you had to go through, you know, everything
- 1:20:39Speaker 5: you went through in college. But have you ever thought
- 1:20:40Speaker 5: about what that freshman year was and even how you
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: rebounded from that?
- 1:20:44Speaker 20: Yeah?
- 1:20:44Speaker 13: I think about it all the time.
- 1:20:45Speaker 22: It's crazy because we had like a little seminar and
- 1:20:48Speaker 22: Tina Thompson was talking about adversity and she brought me up.
- 1:20:50Speaker 22: I'm like again, but yeah, I think about it all
- 1:20:53Speaker 22: the time. Like, I went through a lot, a lot
- 1:20:54Speaker 22: of high with the highs, a lot of lower the lows,
- 1:20:56Speaker 22: and just to be where I am today. It was
- 1:20:59Speaker 22: hard to get through those phases. But I couldn't be
- 1:21:01Speaker 22: here without loved ones. Are people that was in my
- 1:21:03Speaker 22: ear supporting me, because that could have turned out another way.
- 1:21:06Speaker 13: I could have quit.
- 1:21:06Speaker 22: I could have just been a person that I probably
- 1:21:09Speaker 22: you know, it wasn't even people who didn't even know
- 1:21:12Speaker 22: who I was. You know, they was like, you gain
- 1:21:14Speaker 22: what twenty thirty pounds, which I thought it was forty Yeah,
- 1:21:17Speaker 22: I didn't want to say that.
- 1:21:19Speaker 11: What you mean.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: It's a story of snap? Actually just say fifty.
- 1:21:25Speaker 13: You should put it forty fifty pounds. I remember when
- 1:21:28Speaker 13: tonight you've seeing me.
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: She's like, dang, that's a real friend, a real friend.
- 1:21:33Speaker 23: I mean I had to tell her, you know, but
- 1:21:34Speaker 23: she did. You know, I was just happy that she
- 1:21:36Speaker 23: got it off for her.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: You know what you said each other.
- 1:21:40Speaker 13: It's like, you're looking a little big.
- 1:21:41Speaker 23: Now did she did?
- 1:21:44Speaker 10: She did?
- 1:21:46Speaker 13: I'm snatched now snatched?
- 1:21:47Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: Did that motivate you to get in shape? When she
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: said that, you are? You already had that motivation?
- 1:21:52Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:21:52Speaker 13: No, I was trying to get back right, but I
- 1:21:54Speaker 13: lost myself for a minute.
- 1:21:56Speaker 7: She had.
- 1:21:56Speaker 22: Sometimes you had to go through those load like the
- 1:21:59Speaker 22: bottom of low to get to the hot, the hoigh
- 1:22:02Speaker 22: highs and succept to be successful, honestly, And I think
- 1:22:05Speaker 22: I'm glad I went through that diversity, honestly because it
- 1:22:08Speaker 22: made me mentally strong.
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: But I'm sure it's some type of depression. Probably said
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: it right, Oh, yes, which caused you to gain the
- 1:22:13Speaker 5: weight of stuff, Like what what was it? Because it
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: was just the injury. It's not like you couldn't have
- 1:22:17Speaker 5: bounce back from an injury, Like, what was it that
- 1:22:18Speaker 5: really put you in that mode?
- 1:22:21Speaker 13: Social media?
- 1:22:22Speaker 22: I mean, you know what this generation social media is
- 1:22:25Speaker 22: could be a good and a bad thing. And I think,
- 1:22:27Speaker 22: you know, if you live by social media, you gotta
- 1:22:29Speaker 22: die by it too. And I think you know, I
- 1:22:31Speaker 22: went viral on social media, like every time you got
- 1:22:34Speaker 22: on social media, see Raven Johnson and blah blah blah
- 1:22:36Speaker 22: blah blah.
- 1:22:36Speaker 13: He did that and the third and it wasn't for
- 1:22:38Speaker 13: a good reason. It's for a bad reason. So you know,
- 1:22:40Speaker 13: I didn't want to go.
- 1:22:41Speaker 22: I didn't want nobody to see me because everybody look
- 1:22:43Speaker 22: at social media and you know, everybody just joke on
- 1:22:46Speaker 22: our book.
- 1:22:47Speaker 13: Try to bully this person.
- 1:22:48Speaker 22: Don't even know the person outside of basketball, Like I'm
- 1:22:50Speaker 22: more than just an athlete, Like you just don't know me.
- 1:22:52Speaker 22: I'm the sweetest person if you get to meet me.
- 1:22:55Speaker 22: But you know, it made me like loose myself, Like
- 1:22:58Speaker 22: I just I never went through anything like that. But
- 1:23:00Speaker 22: you know, everything happens for a reason.
- 1:23:01Speaker 13: It's all God's plain.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: How was that when you saw your dog going through that?
- 1:23:05Speaker 23: I mean I watched that game, you know when she
- 1:23:08Speaker 23: got waved off and stuff like that. Obviously, I text
- 1:23:11Speaker 23: her immediately after the game. I remember texting you and
- 1:23:13Speaker 23: I was like, oh, nah, like you need to, you know,
- 1:23:15Speaker 23: get your confidence back, like get back to the Raven
- 1:23:18Speaker 23: Johnson that I know, especially the one I played with
- 1:23:20Speaker 23: in high school. So I mean, I just tried to
- 1:23:22Speaker 23: instill confidence in her and you know, give her, you know,
- 1:23:26Speaker 23: you know, some type of pick me up, because I
- 1:23:27Speaker 23: know she was feeling down in that moment. I know
- 1:23:29Speaker 23: she was going through a lot of emotions too, so
- 1:23:31Speaker 23: I just had to try to remind her who she was.
- 1:23:33Speaker 22: Was it hard to be receptive of stuff like that,
- 1:23:35Speaker 22: even though it was from somebody that loved you, because
- 1:23:37Speaker 22: you were actually going through it at the time.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:23:39Speaker 13: No, I'm close with her, but I know she means
- 1:23:42Speaker 13: it from her heart.
- 1:23:42Speaker 22: But when it's people that I don't know, you know,
- 1:23:44Speaker 22: I don't know if it's genuine or I don't know
- 1:23:46Speaker 22: if it's like, you know, they feel bad or they
- 1:23:48Speaker 22: just trying to play in my face. But you know,
- 1:23:51Speaker 22: I was getting I was listening to people that were
- 1:23:53Speaker 22: close to me that I trust, I loved ones, but
- 1:23:55Speaker 22: I also was listening to my teammates at the time,
- 1:23:58Speaker 22: which it was Latitia and me here those Zayah Cooks,
- 1:24:00Speaker 22: Boston coach Staley, who's one of the best people you
- 1:24:03Speaker 22: can even be around, like she was in my ear too.
- 1:24:05Speaker 13: So yeah, they meant a lot to me.
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: Now correct me if I'm wrong, But I feel like
- 1:24:10Speaker 5: after that championship game, right, I feel like, Raven, you
- 1:24:14Speaker 5: felt more bad for tonight.
- 1:24:18Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah I was.
- 1:24:19Speaker 13: I was upset.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: I felt I did.
- 1:24:21Speaker 13: Actually I felt it hurt.
- 1:24:23Speaker 22: It hurt me because I told her that I wanted
- 1:24:25Speaker 22: to win a championship for her, Like she didn't come
- 1:24:28Speaker 22: here for no reason. I know she made a lot
- 1:24:30Speaker 22: of sacrifices throughout the season, like I beat, like I
- 1:24:33Speaker 22: have so much heart for her, Like things she doesn't
- 1:24:35Speaker 22: win it hurts me, or things she doesn't receive, like
- 1:24:37Speaker 22: it hurts me because I know her sacrifices, I know
- 1:24:40Speaker 22: how hard of a worker she is, so not winning
- 1:24:42Speaker 22: that championship it was, it meant it was bigger than
- 1:24:44Speaker 22: just me, Like it was for people that came here Medina,
- 1:24:47Speaker 22: like they came here doing the National championship. It was
- 1:24:49Speaker 22: for coach Stalely, like she goes through a lot, like
- 1:24:51Speaker 22: she run through walls for us girls. So I feel
- 1:24:53Speaker 22: like just to reward her with a championship would have
- 1:24:55Speaker 22: meant so much. But I mean we paid, we wore
- 1:24:57Speaker 22: her in another way, like we were great human beings
- 1:24:59Speaker 22: to her. We fought, We fought for her like she
- 1:25:01Speaker 22: fight for us. And I think, you know, there there's
- 1:25:03Speaker 22: no better way if we could have won a national championship,
- 1:25:06Speaker 22: but we rewarded her in another way, and that's just
- 1:25:07Speaker 22: been great human beings and great girls.
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: Would you say y'all over achieved the last couple of year,
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: even though you know, being a Game Cop fan, it
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: feels like we should be in the championship every year,
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: but it feels like the last couple of years they
- 1:25:19Speaker 5: haven't necessarily projected y'all to be there, but y'all always
- 1:25:23Speaker 5: make it.
- 1:25:23Speaker 13: That's fine.
- 1:25:24Speaker 22: I feel like, you know, I like to be honestly,
- 1:25:27Speaker 22: I like to be on the not the underdog. That
- 1:25:32Speaker 22: makes sense, like you don't come in with a lot
- 1:25:33Speaker 22: of pressure. But I feel like with this team, we
- 1:25:35Speaker 22: didn't look into all that like we wanted. We had
- 1:25:37Speaker 22: one goal now to win a national championship. We might
- 1:25:40Speaker 22: not win the SEC championship, or we might have lost
- 1:25:42Speaker 22: some games throughout the season, but that didn't stop us
- 1:25:44Speaker 22: from one mission, and that was get to the National Championship.
- 1:25:46Speaker 22: And I think those games made us closer. Those games
- 1:25:49Speaker 22: made us actually realize, like what we need to work on.
- 1:25:52Speaker 22: Everybody needs to get better at one specific thing. Everybody
- 1:25:54Speaker 22: need to start playing together. It was like little things
- 1:25:56Speaker 22: like that, like we had a whole new starting five.
- 1:25:58Speaker 22: I was the only starter that came back, or new starters.
- 1:26:01Speaker 13: They don't even know the system. They had to get
- 1:26:02Speaker 13: used to the system.
- 1:26:03Speaker 6: They had to get.
- 1:26:03Speaker 22: Comfortable with their roles, Like it's different roles. She came
- 1:26:06Speaker 22: from Florida State scoring what fifty balls sixty they had
- 1:26:09Speaker 22: to compromised or a twenty ball or eleven ball night,
- 1:26:12Speaker 22: and she's not used to that. But that takes some maturity,
- 1:26:15Speaker 22: Like she has to be mature to be in a
- 1:26:16Speaker 22: role like that, then, Madina, she's not used to the pressure.
- 1:26:19Speaker 22: She's not used to being that dune and you know
- 1:26:20Speaker 22: post players that came before her, Leah Boston, Camilla, Ajo Wilson,
- 1:26:24Speaker 22: Like she's holding a legacy like people in front of her.
- 1:26:27Speaker 22: So she I don't even think she understand like what
- 1:26:29Speaker 22: her position meant. She was just out there playing. She
- 1:26:31Speaker 22: had a lot of high with the highs and lower
- 1:26:32Speaker 22: with the lows. But she have teammates and girls like
- 1:26:34Speaker 22: us who's genuine that want to see her succeed, and
- 1:26:36Speaker 22: a coach like Coach Staley once again, a great person
- 1:26:39Speaker 22: who's helping her through.
- 1:26:40Speaker 13: Those tough battles. And I think that means a lot
- 1:26:42Speaker 13: with this team. And that's why at the end of
- 1:26:44Speaker 13: the day, we made it to the national championship. With
- 1:26:46Speaker 13: a lot of doubters that came to our bun. They
- 1:26:48Speaker 13: came to we wanted to go play for each other.
- 1:26:51Speaker 22: I think that goes a long way when you're trying
- 1:26:53Speaker 22: to make have a team makes a national championship.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: Understand tonight, Do you appreciate the process? Yeah?
- 1:26:58Speaker 6: I did.
- 1:26:59Speaker 23: I feel like, you know, I had everything going for
- 1:27:01Speaker 23: myself at Florida State, and I wanted to challenge myself.
- 1:27:04Speaker 23: I asked God for a challenge and he gave me that,
- 1:27:06Speaker 23: so you know, it was a sacrifice. It was obviously hard,
- 1:27:10Speaker 23: but I wouldn't change change my decision at all, one
- 1:27:12Speaker 23: hundred percent do it again because I know going into
- 1:27:15Speaker 23: the league, I'm gonna need those things to prepare me
- 1:27:17Speaker 23: training camp, coming up playing with other pros, not taking
- 1:27:20Speaker 23: as many shots. You're gonna hit that wall. But I'd
- 1:27:23Speaker 23: rather hit it in my senior year than in training camp,
- 1:27:27Speaker 23: you know what I mean. So mentally, I think it
- 1:27:29Speaker 23: made me stronger, and it challenged me and it made
- 1:27:31Speaker 23: me grow cool.
- 1:27:32Speaker 5: So what did this year teach you about basketball beyond
- 1:27:35Speaker 5: just scoring buckets?
- 1:27:36Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 1:27:37Speaker 11: You know you can do that.
- 1:27:38Speaker 23: Yeah that, Like the intangibles matter, like rebound and getting
- 1:27:41Speaker 23: to still making an impact in other ways than just scoring,
- 1:27:44Speaker 23: because when you're playing on the team full of pros,
- 1:27:47Speaker 23: you may not have to go score twenty a night
- 1:27:49Speaker 23: to win a game, like you can go get a
- 1:27:50Speaker 23: rebound or still that can change the whole the whole
- 1:27:53Speaker 23: momentum of a game. And just being like a good
- 1:27:56Speaker 23: teammate too. Like I feel like I was a little
- 1:27:59Speaker 23: selfish then, Like I always thought about me, me, me,
- 1:28:02Speaker 23: me me, and not we. So I think coming to
- 1:28:05Speaker 23: South Carolina it definitely changed my perspective on a lot
- 1:28:07Speaker 23: of things.
- 1:28:07Speaker 19: I saw you say coming to South Carolina was the
- 1:28:09Speaker 19: best thing that prepared you for the w n B. A.
- 1:28:11Speaker 23: Yeah it did, it did. I feel like just everything
- 1:28:14Speaker 23: from the coach and the resources, the nutrition, how to
- 1:28:17Speaker 23: take care of my body, the resources. So I feel
- 1:28:19Speaker 23: like that's definitely gonna translate to the league.
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: Hot wings. The nutrition was hot wings.
- 1:28:29Speaker 19: Would y'all y'all get balance it right? One day, the
- 1:28:33Speaker 19: salary the next day.
- 1:28:34Speaker 23: She's from Atlanta, so hot wings in her blood.
- 1:28:37Speaker 13: Hot wings. You're gonna run it off.
- 1:28:42Speaker 19: Off, you know.
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you you being a point guard
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: playing for Dawnstead, that's.
- 1:28:51Speaker 5: A different level of pressure, like like what it looks
- 1:28:55Speaker 5: like accountability on a different level.
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: Can you can you talk to us about that hard?
- 1:29:00Speaker 13: Like I came to her and I'm like, why is
- 1:29:02Speaker 13: she yelling at me?
- 1:29:03Speaker 22: She need to yell at the people that's making mistakes,
- 1:29:05Speaker 22: like I get yelled at or a little like other
- 1:29:08Speaker 22: people mistakes. And I had to get used to that,
- 1:29:10Speaker 22: and sometimes it messes my head up. I think, you know,
- 1:29:14Speaker 22: calling calling plays at the top of my head. Sometimes
- 1:29:18Speaker 22: she may call this play and I may call I
- 1:29:20Speaker 22: may see something different and call another play. And I
- 1:29:22Speaker 22: think that's where you know, you gotta trust your point
- 1:29:24Speaker 22: guard on the floor, try to kind of be a
- 1:29:26Speaker 22: version of her on the floor. But I think, you know,
- 1:29:29Speaker 22: when it comes to my teammates. They trust me with
- 1:29:31Speaker 22: leading them, calling the right sets and when to call them.
- 1:29:34Speaker 22: But it's hard, Like you, you gotta the marginal room
- 1:29:37Speaker 22: for era is very small at that point guard's spot. Like,
- 1:29:39Speaker 22: you better know you better know your p's and.
- 1:29:41Speaker 13: Q's when it comes to the plays.
- 1:29:43Speaker 7: You better know where people like the ball. You better
- 1:29:45Speaker 7: you better just be somebody that.
- 1:29:48Speaker 13: Can win win the game honestly and who she can trust.
- 1:29:50Speaker 13: And I think you know that comes with time.
- 1:29:51Speaker 23: A game manager.
- 1:29:52Speaker 6: Yeah, that comes with time.
- 1:29:53Speaker 22: Like from my freshmen to what fifty year senior year,
- 1:29:56Speaker 22: I think that came with time. Didn't have people in
- 1:29:58Speaker 22: front of me like any Ty Harry is not even
- 1:30:01Speaker 22: that Zia coach. She showed me a lot too. So
- 1:30:03Speaker 22: having people like that that showed me a lot of
- 1:30:05Speaker 22: great ropes before it was my time or trusting the process.
- 1:30:08Speaker 5: So tonight was something coach Staally told you that changed
- 1:30:11Speaker 5: how you see not just the game of basketball, but
- 1:30:13Speaker 5: yourself shoot just everything.
- 1:30:15Speaker 23: I feel like my all around game like she she
- 1:30:17Speaker 23: taught me a lot about myself and just like how
- 1:30:20Speaker 23: I can be impactful without scoring twenty a night or
- 1:30:23Speaker 23: taking twenty shots. Tonight, you know, she talked a lot
- 1:30:27Speaker 23: about efficiency and improving that, and she just instilled a
- 1:30:31Speaker 23: lot of confidence in me. Like Coach was real laid back.
- 1:30:33Speaker 23: Our relationship was way different from you know, like Raving
- 1:30:37Speaker 23: in her relationship. It was just like, I'm a laid
- 1:30:40Speaker 23: back person. She a laid back person. She's kind of like,
- 1:30:42Speaker 23: I'm gonna give you what you give me, and you
- 1:30:44Speaker 23: can have real, like transparent conversations with her. She always
- 1:30:48Speaker 23: just gave me freedom to be me like and I
- 1:30:49Speaker 23: feel like that's what you wanted to Coach, And yeah,
- 1:30:53Speaker 23: she gave me great advice too.
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: A couple last questions.
- 1:30:55Speaker 5: If tonight, if your younger self could see you now,
- 1:30:58Speaker 5: what was your private the most should me being here?
- 1:31:01Speaker 23: I feel like, you know, it started off as a dream,
- 1:31:03Speaker 23: so now that it's reality, I feel like she would
- 1:31:07Speaker 23: just be so proud, so happy. And you know, it
- 1:31:10Speaker 23: was rooms that I didn't think I would be in.
- 1:31:12Speaker 23: So I mean, I know she would just be proud
- 1:31:14Speaker 23: and happy on me.
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: How about you? Really?
- 1:31:17Speaker 22: Yeah, she would be my younger I was this little
- 1:31:19Speaker 22: skinny little girl that was just used to play basketball.
- 1:31:23Speaker 5: Yo.
- 1:31:26Speaker 22: I don't even know who fat Me is, but the
- 1:31:29Speaker 22: Batman would definitely be she's been. I mean, I mean
- 1:31:34Speaker 22: she's like, dang, you got all the fat off, but
- 1:31:38Speaker 22: love me, yes, she would be very proud and never
- 1:31:41Speaker 22: would have experience thought she would have gone through adversity
- 1:31:43Speaker 22: or meet people that's not like her, who's bubbly, like
- 1:31:46Speaker 22: been through a lot, but you know her, my little
- 1:31:48Speaker 22: self would be like, I'm glad you went through those
- 1:31:50Speaker 22: through those things and just a young black girl like you.
- 1:31:53Speaker 13: Then keep being that young that black girl to keep
- 1:31:55Speaker 13: inspiring other black black girls. Black magic.

- 1:32:02Speaker 1: to represent? When it's when? When? When?

- 1:33:41Speaker 1: Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren, you're coming
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: straight fast. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail.
- 1:33:49Speaker 19: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything,
- 1:33:51Speaker 19: and she'd be.
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: Having the latest on.
- 1:33:55Speaker 11: The latest with Lauren la Rosa.
- 1:33:57Speaker 5: Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have detail, sometimes you
- 1:33:59Speaker 5: have a little bit of.
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: Every time to you by top Dog Law on the
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, talk to me all right, guys.
- 1:34:07Speaker 22: So on Sunday, Tis Son King he was arrested in
- 1:34:12Speaker 22: Gwenett County down in Georgia in a Pikachu outfit, and
- 1:34:15Speaker 22: I want to clarify in a Pikachu outfit, like like Pikachu.
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: Pokemon, Pokemon, the Yellow outfit.
- 1:34:22Speaker 19: I want to clarify some things.
- 1:34:23Speaker 22: So right now, and a lot of the reporting it's like, okay,
- 1:34:27Speaker 22: King Harris arrested for control substance and there's a firearm found.
- 1:34:33Speaker 19: But what was weird to me? I'm like, I'm reading
- 1:34:34Speaker 19: all of these reports and I'm.
- 1:34:35Speaker 22: Seeing the charges and he was charged with nothing to
- 1:34:38Speaker 22: do with a firearm, but they're making it seem like,
- 1:34:41Speaker 22: you know, there's drugs, there's a gun whatever. So I
- 1:34:43Speaker 22: called the Gwenette County police department, And I asked him, like,
- 1:34:47Speaker 22: can you clarify for me, why is the firearm even
- 1:34:49Speaker 22: being mentioned if he wasn't charged for anything in relation
- 1:34:51Speaker 22: to a firearm. So basically what they said to me
- 1:34:54Speaker 22: is that when he was pulled over, he was he
- 1:34:55Speaker 22: was pulled over for a traffic stop. He was doing
- 1:34:57Speaker 22: sixty and forty five mile per hour zone at one
- 1:35:00Speaker 22: am on Sunday. The cops pulled him over because of that,
- 1:35:03Speaker 22: they noticed the firearm on the dashboard.
- 1:35:05Speaker 19: But in Georgia, yes, you don't have to be registered.
- 1:35:09Speaker 19: You can literally just have the firearm with you. Now.
- 1:35:11Speaker 22: They tried to run his license, and I guess he
- 1:35:13Speaker 22: didn't have his license on him. They tried to run
- 1:35:15Speaker 22: the registration. The cops are claiming that there was something
- 1:35:17Speaker 22: going on with the registration. So they come back to
- 1:35:19Speaker 22: his car and they asked him to step out to
- 1:35:20Speaker 22: have a conversation about the traffic violation. He refused to
- 1:35:23Speaker 22: get out of the car so then, and the only
- 1:35:25Speaker 22: reason they asked him to step out was because the
- 1:35:27Speaker 22: firearm was in the car for safety, not because of
- 1:35:29Speaker 22: anything else. He refused to get out the car to
- 1:35:32Speaker 22: have the conversation about the traffic violation, which is when
- 1:35:34Speaker 22: he was arrested. And yeah, so people are I don't
- 1:35:38Speaker 22: know the way it is being reported. I just thought
- 1:35:40Speaker 22: was a little bit unfair. So he was booked on
- 1:35:41Speaker 22: a felony charge for a possession of a controlled substance
- 1:35:43Speaker 22: because of a vate pin a thhd vaatepin, and a
- 1:35:46Speaker 22: misdemeanor charge of willfully obstructing law officers and then two
- 1:35:50Speaker 22: traffic citations.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: I sound like some foolishness on marijuana is illegal in Georgia. Recreational.
- 1:36:00Speaker 22: Yeah, it was a big and it's a substance schedule too, drugs,
- 1:36:03Speaker 22: so it's defined. It's like anything that could have you
- 1:36:06Speaker 22: know that you would use regularly, but it could have
- 1:36:09Speaker 22: potential abuse, like it could be it could be looked
- 1:36:12Speaker 22: at something that. Yes, that's what I'm trying to get to.
- 1:36:15Speaker 22: Like a lot of the way that this was being
- 1:36:16Speaker 22: reported was a bit unfair. Now, King responding, Young King
- 1:36:20Speaker 22: have on the Pikachu out Maybe because it was one
- 1:36:22Speaker 22: am and he was headed home, I don't know.
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: Going to get some quick foods.
- 1:36:29Speaker 8: Yeah, like he was a goddamn mascot coming from a
- 1:36:36Speaker 8: party or something.
- 1:36:39Speaker 22: I mean I only saw the top half of it
- 1:36:41Speaker 22: because it could have just been a hoodie. But he
- 1:36:43Speaker 22: it has like the He posted some stuff to insert story.
- 1:36:47Speaker 22: He said, Pikachu got pulled over. They not catching his
- 1:36:49Speaker 22: Pikachu tonight. He also posted some things going at the
- 1:36:52Speaker 22: cops too. He said, I guess you could say you
- 1:36:54Speaker 22: caught Pikachu with a master ball.
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: They do got the Pikachu hoodies too, though.
- 1:36:59Speaker 19: Yeah, that's how.
- 1:37:00Speaker 22: That's why I didn't say Majama's because I only saw
- 1:37:01Speaker 22: the hoodie. I didn't know, but it was a Pikachu fit.
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but you made it sound like he had on the.
- 1:37:06Speaker 19: Yes, Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu, but yes, so clarifying that. Now
- 1:37:13Speaker 19: moving on to some other dudes.
- 1:37:15Speaker 22: So Ni Along, you guys known Along and the cast
- 1:37:17Speaker 22: of the Michael movie are everywhere right now promoting the movie.
- 1:37:21Speaker 22: So she sat down with Playboy and she got a
- 1:37:23Speaker 22: little personal, not too personal, but a little personal. And
- 1:37:26Speaker 22: she talked about dating younger and that she's open to it.
- 1:37:28Speaker 22: Let's take a listen. There seems to be an uptick
- 1:37:31Speaker 22: in women enjoying the company of younger men.
- 1:37:34Speaker 24: Uh huh, I like this idea fan of this, I
- 1:37:37Speaker 24: love it. I see I told you I'm not really
- 1:37:40Speaker 24: out there. I gotta get out there.
- 1:37:42Speaker 12: You gotta get on the apps.
- 1:37:43Speaker 7: No, they have one for famous people. They do what's
- 1:37:48Speaker 7: it called Riyah.
- 1:37:49Speaker 13: I've heard of Rayah.
- 1:37:51Speaker 19: People are on Riya.
- 1:37:52Speaker 24: I can't be on Riyah because I wouldn't even keep up.
- 1:37:55Speaker 24: They'll be like, she's the flakiest date app person. Get
- 1:37:58Speaker 24: her off for here. I'd probably be kid off because
- 1:38:00Speaker 24: I'd be like that was a corny, like I'm so picky.
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:38:04Speaker 13: I do like younger though. I think there's something fun
- 1:38:07Speaker 13: about younger.
- 1:38:07Speaker 12: Young it's fun.
- 1:38:08Speaker 13: Young is fun.
- 1:38:10Speaker 7: Young it's fine.
- 1:38:10Speaker 19: And they also go home.
- 1:38:12Speaker 13: True, I like her go home?
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: She said young, noz ain't that fifty five? She's fifty five?
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: Is fifty five? Forty seven? They say younger.
- 1:38:27Speaker 19: Shane's say, how easy's forty eight?
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, they go home, but they leave her peace.
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: Do you know that one is six people? What one is?
- 1:38:33Speaker 5: Six people ages fourteen to forty nine in the US
- 1:38:36Speaker 5: have genital herpees.
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: I just want to tell you ol G women out
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: there that, Okay, damn, they didn't.
- 1:38:41Speaker 6: You tell Lauren stop leading on leading a negative or
- 1:38:45Speaker 6: something like that? Why would you?
- 1:38:47Speaker 5: I'm hate on a young boy getting with me A
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: long ha, Yes, it is so saying what She also,
- 1:38:55Speaker 5: what the hell he did to deserve that?
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: Go ahead?
- 1:38:57Speaker 13: This guy's like.
- 1:39:01Speaker 9: She.
- 1:39:03Speaker 22: She also talked about the fact that like she wouldn't
- 1:39:06Speaker 22: mind living separate from like her person, her partner.
- 1:39:08Speaker 19: Let's take a listen.
- 1:39:09Speaker 24: I think Carol Burnette, or maybe it was Jane Fonda.
- 1:39:13Speaker 24: Basically what she said is is if I ever get
- 1:39:16Speaker 24: married again, he needs to live next door. And I
- 1:39:19Speaker 24: kind of like that idea for Whoopy Goldberg said that
- 1:39:21Speaker 24: once I don't want a man in my house. I
- 1:39:23Speaker 24: think Carol, Whoopie, and Jane probably all said that. I
- 1:39:27Speaker 24: know Whoopy said it, because I know Whoopy. She's fine
- 1:39:29Speaker 24: with her Guardenias and.
- 1:39:30Speaker 22: Herself, Whoopy Goldberg, Nia Long, Jane Fonda like they I mean, well,
- 1:39:36Speaker 22: Nia said she'll get younger. But there's been like a
- 1:39:38Speaker 22: trend of like a lot of women of a certain
- 1:39:40Speaker 22: ace and I want you, but not all the time.
- 1:39:44Speaker 8: The older women, I can understand it. They've been there,
- 1:39:46Speaker 8: done that, all these relationships. They got their own independence,
- 1:39:49Speaker 8: like they need their time to breathe, their space and
- 1:39:52Speaker 8: all of that. But like I can't understand why the
- 1:39:55Speaker 8: younger girls who haven't even been you know, haven't even
- 1:39:58Speaker 8: experienced with being in love and committed love feels like
- 1:40:02Speaker 8: it's saying that I understand Jane Fonda, Curl Barnett, Dolly Partner.
- 1:40:06Speaker 6: You know, all the older women is saying that, you.
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: Know what y'all say. Older, y'all talking about like older
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: older like Jane find is eight.
- 1:40:11Speaker 6: Eight, but what guys old?
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: Yeah, old, like I don't know what putting her name.
- 1:40:17Speaker 19: Yeh's fifty five wood we go Birk seventy.
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: But that passed away.
- 1:40:23Speaker 6: Oh my god, I don't know either way.
- 1:40:27Speaker 11: I don't know.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: After I think, okay, she's still lie.
- 1:40:29Speaker 22: I think that just as though what I was trying
- 1:40:31Speaker 22: to get to is like over the last year, I've
- 1:40:32Speaker 22: been hearing a lot of women for I feel like
- 1:40:34Speaker 22: from like forty end of being like I want.
- 1:40:36Speaker 19: You, but not all the time.
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: Ninety two she's still around.
- 1:40:39Speaker 22: Yeah, so nia going longer and you can't stay to night.
