  Speaker 1: not discuss mental health, especially within our comunity, and just
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: just talking about it has made me more aware of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the things that I need to focus on when it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: comes to my mental health as well. So last she

• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We got a special. Yes, the building
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: she's back. Yes, she was just telling us how to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: disarm people with jolly ranchers. That's right, La. You know
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the last time I was here, I remember somebody pulling
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: out their penis. What yeah, I wasn't here. I'm sorry
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you weren't here. There was a white guy here and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he pulled his penis out. It was great, tea, it
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: was that was pre me Two times up Movement. I'm
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: sure he won't be doing well. I'm here to press charges. Well.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Elvis Durrand Studio was right, that's where he works. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: actually have video of him out. Is it true that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you have a crush on Robert Mueller. Yes, I like him,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I like anybody. I come from a father who doesn't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: didn't pay attention to any rules or ethics or standards
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: or morals. So I look at someone like Robert Muller
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm turned on by that, not to marry, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: just to have fun with for a couple of hours.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: But in your book, you did talk about messing with
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: guys who were a lot younger than you, and you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: actually ended up feeling bad when they got fired from
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: their jobs. And yeah, I've had a lot like I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: like older men, just typically speaking, because I have my
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: daddy issues. I like guys that are older. But once
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: i'm you know, now I'm in my forties, so guys
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: are getting old, and so I have to lower the margin.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And when I try and hook up with young guys,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: it's a disaster because they're they're not mature. They don't
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: have any money, and that's cute for a little bit,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: but not for longer. Than a month. And so I've
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: gotten into some situations where I've had people fired for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: having sex with me at a resort that they work at.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I've had a lot of bad luck in that department.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm just going to stay away from anybody under
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: thirty because they get confused or a beauty of relationships
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is what that person doesn't have. You may have so
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you have the maturity in the money, and they got
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the young firm penis. Yes, but at twenty eight years old,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I really don't want to deal with somebody like unless
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: they're mature and an adult just for sex. At this point, like,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I've had enough sex in my life. So now I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: just have to go into the area of a real
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: relationship with a real person and be honest about the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: fact that I want to be in a relationship, because
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I think for so long, with me especially, I was
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: pretending I didn't want to be in a relationship to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: be tough and be independent and fierce, And after enough therapy,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I realized, yes, it's okay to say you want to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be in a relationship. That doesn't mean you're needy. Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: So the kid at the result that got fired, did
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you send them a little money, like, here's a severance package. Well,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that's also a problem I have is I give away
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of money to people once they do get
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: fired because I feel badly and I uh and I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: need to stop doing that. They know the risk, yes,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: they do know the risk, but I have I feel. Oh,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: they got lost their job. They shouldn't have been converting
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: around with me, and I want to ameliorate the situation.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: So I'll give somebody. You know, I talk about it
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: in my book. I'm not proud of it, but I
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: have done it a couple of times. Given somebody like
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: twenty grands to just knock contact me again, wow, or
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: thirty go away. You lost your job, here's money for
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the next five years of what you would have made
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever a year. Not there, Well, they're all guys visiting,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: but usually takes place somewhere in the ball you know
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: what ski town in a ski toowl sometime in the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: negotiates their own settlements. No, yeah, exactly, I have to go.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It's like an NDA, but with no someone signing. I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: don't paper and the Behamas they're not an open ended NDA,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: so it's the worst kind. They're not even allowed to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: gamble in the casinos in the Bahamas, and then they
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: are not allowed to go to your rooms your room either. No, no,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: well they are allowed to come to my room, but
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: for a very short amount of time and then it's over.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: So that's the problem. You like black guys, I do.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I like white guys too, though I'm not just one thing.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I don't like one person. No, I'm not into that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Asian guy that's still on my bucket list. Okay, why
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you've got Chinese in your blood? Yes, I And are
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you attracted to Asian man? My mom told me every
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: dated Chinese guy because of my dad. I guess, good advice.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: But you also have a documentary about white privilege that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you're working, So I did this book. I kind of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: had a mental breakdown when Trump was elected, and I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: had a lot of rage that I needed to harness
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and make it into something positive because I was in
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a state of reaction and I wanted to be in
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a state of action instead of bitching and moaning about him.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be able to do something about it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And I was just like a spoiled brat like so
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: many people. I didn't think this could happen in our country,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and I was naive and I was an elitist. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: am an elitist. I've tried very hard to become one.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And so I had to really have a wake up
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: call and like dig deep and go to a psychiatrist
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to bitch about Donald Trump. And I was perfectly happy
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: doing that and paying somebody to listen to me talk
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: about him. I would have paid double. And after that,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, what kind of work do I
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: really want to do? Do I want to you know?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Do I want to be on a talk show? Do
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I want to do documentaries? Do I want to? And
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: my experience in therapy just made me realize this is
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: important stuff. If I'm going to overshare and make a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: career out of oversharing, I may as well overshare the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: important stuff. So what he broke down for me was
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: what Donald Trumps represents to me and to so many people,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: which is instability and destabilization. A right. We got more
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: with Chelsea Haler when we come back, Don't Move is
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to breakfast Club. Good morning, good break first club pulling
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Chalomagne the guy. We
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Chelsea
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Handler Chalomagne. Now you mit having a late night show
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: every night? No, yeah, no, I don't like all of
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the I don't like the responsibility that comes with it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Too many people. It was fun for a while for sure.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Too many people on staff. Too many times you have
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to you have to spend your day watching yourself, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that's not how I want to spend my day. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: feel like it would be different for you, not because
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of all the politics and stuff that you talk about,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Like you talk about social issues, like you'd have more
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to talk about. Yeah. No, I just don't like being
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: tied to a like I don't like to be I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: think I outgrew being stuck in a studio. I don't
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: want to be in the same place every single day.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I like to be like on a trip and figuring,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you know, and like and filming it. Like when I
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: did Ayahuasca in Peru. I got to film that for Netflix, right,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: they let me go all over the world and film stuff.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I'd much prefer to do that kind of stuff where
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you're talking to real people then and then sitting in
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a studio. It's just not like now you just mentioned Peruda.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: When you did that documentary, you will own a drug ayahuasca.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Now why did you try that? You don't know what
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Ayawaska thought. You were talking about a place I've never
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: been to. Maybe it's a white person's drug. Maybe it's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a white person. There's a plant. It's intense, it makes
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you vomit and you defecate. First of all, why would
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you want to do that? Because there are things I'll
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: do on television that I will never do in my room. Okay,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: go ahead. So I will do that to educate and
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: experience anything experiential where I'm going to be caught off guard.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I like. So I did not defecate. My shaman, however,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: did in his pants the entire ceremony. So the only
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: thing I smelled was feculence the entire time I was tripping.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: But your trip is crazy. You have like a fast
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: forward of like it's like an iPod shuffle of childhood
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: memories and you're not in your body, you're watching you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like So for me, it was my sister and me
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: on the beach, running down the beach, playing with our dogs,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: being on the kayaks, flipping each other over, laughing hysterically,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and I saw it all play out before me, like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I wasn't in my body really, and so everyone has
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that experience where you see yourself outside of yourself. So
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it was pretty it was pretty awesome. I mean it
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: changed my relationship with my sister for sure. It was
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: just about me being told that my sister is, you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: not like me. Don't judge her. Be kinder to her,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to be sweeter to her. So yeah, so it's a plant.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: You smoke it or you do a shower. They brew it, sorry,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they brew it into a tea and you'd take a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: shot of it and then you hallucinate for like five hours.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah no, probably not, but probably actually you probably get
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it all facebooks. You can. Just there are people who
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: do it all over like upstate New York. I'm sure
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: people are doing ayahuasca treats. You need a shaman and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: like someone who leads the ceremony and somebody who knows
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. But yeah, it's popular. But people get
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: sober off of ayahuasca. They go in and if they
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: have addiction issues or depression issues, it's all basically like now,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: microdocing is the thing that everyone's doing. So, um, you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: microdocing psilocybin from mushrooms, which helps people daily. I took
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: some mushrooms the other day when I was skiing, like microdose.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You know, you take like a little mushroom head and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: it just makes everything sharper, everything up, like you're just alert.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And it's from the ground. So everyone who wants to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: argue about like natural homeopathic things that are from the ground,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: that just also happened to make you hallucinate, um joyce rooms. Yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: who does healing? Does that help with your healing? I can,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: it wasn't part of mine. I mean to be in
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a good mood when you take them, because if not,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it's a bad experience. You have to set your tone
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: always when you take drugs. I think you have to go, okay,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a fun time. The drugs
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: that I had some for you. I always want I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: have got some nice organic something. Okay, Well, next time
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you'll know, you'll know. We should do a whole interview
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: on shrooms and just I would love that. Everybody needs
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to be on shrooms. That is the best. Let's do it. Yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you will laugh your ass off. I definitely next time
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: when I take shrooms. That's my cheeks. My cheeks and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: my apps are always every day after I take shrims,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: it's the best. You just laugh your ass off and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: everything that everyone says is hysterical. So it is fun
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: for radio. But we should do You should start the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: show sober and take them at the beginning so that
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you can get through half of it and then just decomposedly.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: What got Shrewan's on the going to therapy would be well,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't shrewm shrem but you can take like microdose
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and go to therapy. People like that, and they do
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: ketamine therapy too. You know ketamine that horse tranquilizer. My
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: friend's do. I'll pass on that work. Yeah, life will

• 26:06
  Speaker 1: special guest in the building, Ryan Leslie. Welcome sir back again.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen you in a while. Man, in a minute,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I'm actually looking forward to talking to you today because
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I follow a great Instagram page. It's a guy named
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Artemis Gordon. I think he's a guy. I don't know
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: really what what are he goes? But he had a
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: couple of posts about you that were very interesting he did,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: but they were in a good way. He was talking
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: about he was talking about how talented you are, you know, um,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But he was talking about some of the reasons maybe
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: why your career might have been stifled. Oh, yes, all right,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: we could talk about that. But what was the reason
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: he said his career might have been stifled? Oh do
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you feel like you've been blackballed or blacklisted? Nah? Okay,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I'm happy where I am right now, streaming, happy where
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I am right now. And uh, I think that I've
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: made very strategic and specific choices to end up exactly
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: where I am right now. Because let's let's start. What
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: happened with the music career? You You had a bunch
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: of singles, you were out and about you will promote.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Didn't you know? You were in the clubs, you were
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: pushing your records, and then it just totally just stopped. Yeah,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and did you go a new route? Did you decide
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you didn't want to go that far into music? What happened?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: So in twenty thirteen, I decided to take all my
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: music off streaming service. We haven't actually talked about a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: lot of this since I've been here last, so, I mean, listen,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: so much actually happened. I mean, I was, I was
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: on to cover the New York Post. I lost a lawsuit,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: my laptop of me, everybody anybody who ever talks to me,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Oh what happened to your laptop? Etc? Right, So, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: mean there was a lot that happened around that time.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: And for me, I've always been a technologist, kind of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a technologist and or futurist. And so I noticed in
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen that I had amassed a following of like
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: a million plus on social media, and I felt as though, look,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you know, social media is really just an advertising platform.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: It's a way for people to actually monetize me, monetize
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: my audience. And I felt like, living in a land
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: of technology now and innovation and entrepreneurship, I should actually
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: have a direct contact with all my fans consumer correct, Right,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: So I gave my number out. So I give my
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: number out twenty thirteen, the first crazy person to do that.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I'm giving my number, But you gave you a real
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: number out. Yeah, I gave my real number out, and actually, yeah,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the real og Right, So I thought, look in twenty thirteen.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Was beautiful about twenty thirteen versus when Mike Jones gave
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: his number out is that I could actually put real
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: technology behind it and have a smart way to actually
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: manage all the inbound requests so like right now, anybody
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: can leave their number at text Ryan dot com, my
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: direct phone number will text them back. So I decided, like, look,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I wanted to see what I could do if I
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: could have people text me if they wanted my album.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: So then that way, anybody that wasn't interested, they could
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you know, listen to whatever else that was on streaming services.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: But anybody wanted to text me and wanted my album,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: they could text me to get it. And so that's
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: how I basically built a technology company around direct to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: consumer selling, etc. And if you really if you look
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: at at Nipsey Hustle's mailbox money, he also employed the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: same kind of strategies and tactics. So he decided he
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: was going to sell his second mixtape four thousand of
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: those right, and he did it on my platform. So
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: really the beauty was that everyone thought that I just disappeared,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: but in reality I was able to actually just connect
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: with the people who really cared about my music and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: they paid me directly. I didn't have to wait for
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: streaming services, et cetera. Everything was just direct and so
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I can now tour based on just who I know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: every single person that actually bought my record Wow. But
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: some people thought it was a concerted effort to get
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Ryan Leslie out of the music industry. Like one of
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the rumors was Kanye thought you would threatened, he encouraged
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: you to wrap and not saying so this is this
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is from Artemis. Yes, yeah, okay, the real site. Yes,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it's a great it's a great page to file. But
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: is that any truth to that that he encouraged you
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: to did? He did? He did didn't courage me to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: wrap on. And I mean listen, I anyone who's ever
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: stopped me and said, hey, look I love this collaboration
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you did with with Kanye was Christian Geordentum Flow and
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: so yeah, he was like, Yo, you should just go
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: ahead and wrap. I was like, oh, this is this
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: is what I feel like doing, you know, So I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: made it. I made a couple of actually three four albums.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And they say that they think that alienated your core
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: fan base. M I mean, it's it's it's possible. I mean,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: we got a tenure anniversary show that's happening in New
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: York City and the response to that has been great
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: because I said specifically that was celebrating the first two albums,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: first two albums with R and B album second, second
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of which was Grammy nominated. And I think once again,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I made a concerted decision that, Okay, this is how
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: far I believed I could actually make an impact in music,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and then this is how far I believe I can
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: make an impact from being a technologist being an entrepreneur.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Numbers wise, just give us an example of what you
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: were making when your albums were the regular on streaming
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: services and being distributed that way, versus numbers that you
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: can make when you are doing it your way. Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So when you look at the numbers, though, I only
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: sold one hundred and eighty thousand records my first or
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the first album, first album only one hundred eighty thousand,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that's not even scratching gold. Right, So one hundred and
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: eighty thousand records the first one, the second album, critically acclaimed,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Grammy nominated, sixty thousand records. Gold is five hundred thousand
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: platinums a million, right, I was at sixty thousand records
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: my second album. Yeah, I have a core fan base.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: People loved it, the settle. You also had a record
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that was on radio top ten record. Yeah, And I wondered,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: did you really had a machine behind you for top
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: twenty record in that was huge in New York addiction
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: those two records. Yes, but really, once again, everybody knew
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: your name, everybody knew who you were, and I think
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: everyone knew who I was based on the fact that
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I had a record with Cassie. Cassie was really the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: big record that was top ten and eight countries, you
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, massive, massive record for me, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: so people knew that I wrote and produced that entire album.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: So in the music industry, when you have a producer
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: that writes to produced one hundred percent album and one
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: of those records goes all the way, then people are
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: definitely gonna know your name because they want to collaborate
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: anybody to etc. And I think that really, I think
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Cassie was really the precursor and the foreshadowing that the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Internet was going to change the way that music was
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: discovered and distributed Cassi. Cassie was a MySpace artist, so
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: we put her music on MySpace. We you know, myself
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and my partner Rashid Richmond came up with a Google
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: hack so everyone who searched MySpace the keyword would end
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: up on her MySpace music profile, and she went from
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: zero to six hundred fifty thousand friends in three months.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: What we realized though, is that MySpace just disappeared and
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: we didn't have phone numbers on all those people. So
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: if six hundred and fifty thousand friends, she also was
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the first artist in history to have a one to
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: one correlation between social following. Is sales six hundred and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand albums sold in six hundred fifty thousand. Wow,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that never had Yeah, that definitely don't happen now these
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: people having sixteen millions, that would be that would be
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: great if they had on one to one. So um,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I think getting back to the numbers, if you think
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: about royalties on records, right, and I had a pretty
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: standard record contract, which like a twenty percent, which actually
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is pretty Uh, that's actually a nice record twenty percent, right,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: twenty percent if you even if it was ten dollars
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: a record was one hundred and eighty thousand records, that's
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: one point eight million, twenty percent of that you could
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: do the mask it's like three three hundred thousand, right,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and then yeah, and basically you take some taxes out
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: of that, like and they had already given me an
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: advance you made. I made no money on those records, right,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: And it was great because obviously I have publishing. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: wrote and produced everything, so our moneys that. Yeah. But
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: in terms of record royalties, there's a couple hundred thousand, right,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: So when I actually sold my record directly, no man,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I sold my tickets directly, no middleman. Fifteen thousand records
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: times ten dollars. That's one hundred and fifty thousand, and
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: went straight into my pocket. And then the beauty of
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: actually knowing every single person who bought my record means
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that when I went on tour, I can send a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: text to them, I mean your city, right, I mean
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: your city. Nobody goes to concerts alone. And also concert
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: tickets cost four times as much as the album. So
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: my concert ticket for my show is forty dollars. So
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: forty dollars times forty thousand tickets that we sold in Europe,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: that's one point six million dollars. I mean, the math
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: is totally crazy. And I don't need to go platinum.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I don't need five hundred thousand people. I don't I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: need forty thousand people. All right, we got more with
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Ryan Leslie when we come back as the Breakfast Club.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ md Angela yee, Charlomagne
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We have Royan
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Leslie in the building. Yee. What about bundling? Did you
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: do merchandise? Like I mean, did you do like album
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: bundling and merchandising and all of that along with it? Yeah? Yeah,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: And the beauty is once you actually have someone text,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you know, said hey, I'm interested in merch then you
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: automatically can target them to give them anytime you have
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: a merch drop, and your conversion is gonna be higher.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: But really, you know up to that Louis c Ki
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: and Kevin Hart, Oh yes, yeah, first was trying to
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: was getting back hot. You get everybody's email in the audience. Yeah,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: but he just built his base, built his base. Yeah.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: So the problem with all those people because I seem
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: like everybody followed you, like, you know, I've seen UH
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: rappers giving out their numbers. I've seen did he giving
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: out their numbers? Was it your platform? Or they would
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: create their own platform and kind of followed Jill way
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: of doing it. Yeah. So we got a huge number
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: of artists and honestly, like I said, I was just
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: talking to Craig calling from Atlantic. Uh, they made an
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: investment in my platform, and so you know, Meg the Stallion,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus join the Lucas. A lot of folks decided like, hey,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: what Ryan is doing is the right way to go,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and it can't be just email. Email conversion rates are low,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: it got to be text. So me personally, I love
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: to see that kind of validation. And so that's why
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: it's surprised for somebody to be always Bryan getting blackballed,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: as I think people are. Actually it's kind of the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: innovator's dilemma when you're first, people gonna look at it
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: sideways right once they see that it's working and they
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: say wow. And actually this happened with Puff even in
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the MySpace time, like when we did what we did
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: with MySpace and Cassie. I remember having that me with
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: him and him saying like, look, what do I need
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to do to actually be on this social media wave right?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And so we helped him with his MySpace profile. He
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: became the fastest growing MySpace profile and history of MySpace.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: So I think that for me to have one hundred
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: thousand phone numbers, I got one hundred thousand people on
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: text right now, there will be an artist that comes
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: after me, and my numbers are available. So anybody that's
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: interested in following this pathway and going the same direction,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for somebody that's going to get to a
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: million or two million or five million numbers, right, because
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: why should Instagram and Facebook and Snapchat have all the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: fun right patent so it be your thing so nobody
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: else can do that, or you didn't even think about
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it all now. I mean it's it's almost like can
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: sprint patent cell phone service? Right? You need the competitors
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to make sure everybody's honest, and you need the competitors
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to actually make sure that your technology and your platform
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: is the best that it can beat. And the platform
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: is called Superphone. What I've done with Superphone is just
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: made it completely flexible. Whatever you can dream you could build.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So if you decide that you want to, you know,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: run Superphone for your floral business, I'm like, like I said,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: it's for business in general. Look, what we're doing is
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: we're really just giving people the ability to be in
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: everyone's most important real estate, which is the text feed
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: on your phone. And to this point, there hasn't been
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: inbox management for text. That's why we don't give our
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: cell phone number. It's like, yo, I can't have people
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: texting me. It's like I can't manage it. Now I
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: can where it's like one of those things where the
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: people get upset that you're texting them so much. Like
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I give you my number and I might want this
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: one album. Don't text me no more, Ryan, But now
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: you got my information and you can text me as
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: many terms as you would, or you can opt out.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah. We make it really easy to opt out.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I mean to standard you text backstop or unsubscribe, you
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: never talk to me again. The question, though, is do
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: you actually want to not have a direct line in
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: communication to me? Because I'm helping whoever I can, right,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and so I say this all the time. Look, send
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: me a text. What is it that you need to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: actually make it? Do you need context? Do you need advice?
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Do you need strategy? Do you need investment? Send me
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a text. The crazy thing is most of us have
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: hundreds of people in our phone that we don't text.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: We're scared to ask for help. And what I found
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: is that giving people a platform so that they can
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: be helped. So and that's why the venture capital community
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: they understand this concept of just like yo, somebody comes
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: to you with a great idea, help that person. Okay,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: because you don't have the idea. You got the money,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: but help that person because that's going to turn into
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: uber Like, I don't like to turn people away at
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: least want to explore it and see what it is,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: because you never know who's gonna be that next person.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: What if they started asking you for like refrigerators and
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: they rent paid and stuff like I've had that before.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: He let meet the fridge. They they say fridge, but
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: they say, hey, look can you you know, can you
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: pay off my student loans? Yeah? For sure? Have you
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: done it? For sure? Now, in certain cases, I have
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: made donations or I've covered you know, whatever it is.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I made investments, I made introductions. But just like you said,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: it all comes down to the ask. And so if
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: paying someone's student loans is aligned with what I am
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: looking to achieve or game, maybe I want that person
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: to come work for me at super phone. And they
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: they're like, hey, look I can't you know, I can't
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: move to New York unless my my student loans are
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: paid but I'm one of the greatest you know, computer
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: developers you've ever met. Yeah, pay off the student loans.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Everybody hitting you today. Also, there's a lot of people
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: who don't have followed through. That's let's let's go back
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: to Artemis Gordon Page. Let's go back. Artemis said, the
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: love triangle between you, Diddy and Cassie ruin your momentum.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Do you think that did it ruined my momentum? Well,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I mean in terms of what in music music industry now,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I think I think it. I think it actually was
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: great for my momentum. I mean some of the best
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: songs that I ever wrote had to do with that breakup. Really,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the story behind Diamond Girl was we were working on
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Cassie's second album and because of whatever was going on
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: personally in her life, she didn't show up at the
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: studio that day. I had that beat ready to go.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: She did showed up at the studio, I recorded Diamond Girl.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: So I think that from a music standpoint, the greatest
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: music is always born out of whatever you're going through.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: It be said that did he possibly could have ruined
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Fassi's career, because if you were the guy behind that sound,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: if you were the guy behind her success, him getting
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: in the middle of that and being with her, you know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: kind of distance y'all. Once again, I say, look, your
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: life is the aggregate of the choices you make. It
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: had to change you in post relationship though, I really like,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I think my relationship with Puff really had to do
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: with music, and so as I've been more in technology,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people's relationship the dynamic has changed
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: because they're like, Yo, Ryan, you know, bring that beat
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: packet on. I don't have a beat pack for you,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But but I think my
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: relationship with Puff or Kanye or anybody else changed because
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: they were interested in their music creation relationship. And for me,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I have a technology platform that I'm running right whatever with.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: With that case, um, I don't she sued you for
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: a million dollars? A couple of million dollars? Was that ever?
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Did you ever pay that lady back? Or did what
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: happened with that? It was a guy, Actually it was
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: a guy. Yeah, yeah, So it was a guy and
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: we came to a settlement on it because it was
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: just dragging out. I had a just on principle, like
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: a shell of a laptop. There's no way that anyone
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: could rationally believe that that's worth a million dollars. So,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: just off principle, I was fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, That's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: why it went all the way to the courts. That's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: why he had to sue it. Say why did I
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: even say that? Nah? Nah, listen, I stand by every
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: thing that I said now, and and to be real,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: let's just say that the laptop came back with Watch
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the Throne records on it. It came back with you know,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: four more Ryan Leslie, R and B albums on it
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: right on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I was
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: there for all those sessions. I actually came off tour
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: to go do that actual to do to do those
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: studio sessions, and um, you know I didn't have multi tracks.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Who's gonna put out a record with no multi tracks?
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Those multi tracks were on the laptop. So I said, look,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: if I made six million dollars off of just the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: actual Cassie record, one record, right, and that was Cassie,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: She's an unknown artist. And I got four more Ryan Leslie,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: R and B albums, and I got Kanye and jay
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Z records for Watch the Throne. It's definitely worth a
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: million dollars. I'm gonna put that milli up. And even
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: if we have to create some sort of agreement where
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: they get paid off of the publishing in the future,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: which is actually how we ended up doing the settlement.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I said, look, here, just take one of some portion
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: of my old out log and just chill over there
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and stop coming after me for all types of other money.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Take this is all. You're fine with that because they realize, hey,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: look the catalog is actually still generating money. I'm fine
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: with that as a revenue stream. If he doesn't want
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: to give me a lump song because I didn't want
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to give him the lumps of those records, make to
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: watch the thrown album no oh, because of the laptop
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: gets through. Yeah, all right, we got more with Ryan Leslie.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club. We have Royan Leslie in the building. Yee.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Now let's talk about this anniversary show, yea. And what's
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: going to be happening. The ten year anniversary show is
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: happening on the eighteen, Yeah, December eighteen, so give us
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: some type of insight, some spoilers. What's going to happen?
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Are there's some surprises? Nah, it really, it's just really,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: this is just gonna be an intimate night. I did
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the entire show once again over text. You couldn't get it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: You can't get through those doors unless you sent me
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: a text and said, hey, Ryan, I love you your
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: new albums. These are the songs I want to hear.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: This is how many tickets I want to reserve. So
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I know everybody who was even interested in coming. I
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: know how many people who are interested in coming that
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: actually bought tickets. Every single ticket holder, I have their
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: direct cell phone number. They could text me, they could
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: tell me and like the show, or they did like
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: the show. If they need special accommodations, I remember, yeah,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: we have all that happening, right. So that's really what
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: it's about. It's just about like, look, music, I feel
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: like um in many ways, if you're gonna do a
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: show to be a spectacle, then you do a show
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: to be a spectacle, which means like hey, let's do
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: the make go, let's do the costumes, let's do the dance,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: and let's do the choreography. Let's do the pyro, let's
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: do the screens, Let's do the set changes, et cetera.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: And at the same time, you know, when I look
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: at my favorite favorite favorite performances of all time, like
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: a Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley, there were no set changes,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: the costume changes. It really was just about the music.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: And that's what it's gonna be on the eighteens. It's
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: just me, the supporters that have been with me for
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: more than ten years, and and just the music. How
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: are you doing the albums and the songs in order
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: from the first two albums are now It's pretty free
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: for them, It's pretty free form. I'm gonna just come
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: out there. We started on the keys and then we're
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: gonna go wherever, wherever the night takes us. You know,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: it'll be two and a half hours. People can leave
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: if they want, but yeah, we're gonna have a good time.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Any special appearances, Cassie gonna pop out. I mean, I
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: think Cassie right now has to be really focused on
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: being a brand new mother, you know. So I mean,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: you know, I shout out a text, you know what
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: I mean? But listen, I missed a text. Yeah, I
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: text everybody immediately know what I mean. So she was like, Hey,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in la Oh were you How did
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: you feel when her and did he broke up? How
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: did that up with somebody else? I didn't really feel anything.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't really feel any no light pettiness like how
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: you how you get him as how you lose them? Nah,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't really feel anything, you know what I mean.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: And also I would say a lot of people who
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: are close to me, they say like, look, Ryan's very rational.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: So person it's about like, you know, I want to
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: always make sure that I have as much mental space
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: to be a visionary as possible. So as long as
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I let some kind of pettiness creep into my mental space.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: There's always a cost of everything. So there's a cost
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: of time. There's a cost of space. You know, if
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you if you have a house and you got a
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: nice words, yeah, the cost of world. So you have
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: a house, you got a nice living room, and you
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: decide like, hey, I want to put this, you know,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: massive sculpture in the middle. There's a cost of that space.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: So I think of my mind in the same way.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put some massive sculpture of pettiness
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: or anything in there. I want to have as much
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: clear space so I could be the visionary that I
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: really want to be. I think also it's important for
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: young people of color. Right there's so much wealth that's
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: being created right now in technology, So yes, I think
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: it's great. We're seeing a lot of young people who
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: are actually you know, getting it on the music side,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and then on the flip side. Um, you know, there's
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: an incredible pathway that I think people should definitely consider.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Learn how to speak the language of the future, which
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: is learned how to code. I had to teach myself
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: how to code in twenty thirteen. Learn that language and
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to the point where it becomes second nature, becomes a nate.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: If you grew up in a bilingual house, it's not
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: hard for you to speak two languages, right, And so
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: for the world that we're living in now, when you
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: look at the value that's been created in Amazon and
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: later on in Uber and Facebook and Instagram, WhatsApp had
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: nineteen employees, got sold for nineteen billion. That's a billion
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: dollars per employee. That's a simple chat app. Be creative,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: be visionary, and learn the tools that it's going to
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: take to take your idea to the level you want
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: to take it. And I'm saying that right now in
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: technology is only about three percent minorities. I ain't know that,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. Those numbers are staggering, and
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: so we are who I mean, listen. And so that's
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: that's really why I was like, look, I'll wrap about it,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I'll sing about it, I'll write about it, I'll do
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: music about it, I do technology about it. Because even
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: if I'm not the you know, at the Grammys and
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: at the Oscars, etc. But someone like Arnaments discovers what
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I'm doing and says, you know what, I could replicate
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: that it only takes one person to be Michael Jackson,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: only takes one person be Jimmy Hendricks, only takes one
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: person to be Steve Jobs. But when we look at
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: the actual technologists that I made it and made that
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: type of impact, they need to look like us. When
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: you think about this picture, when you see that picture,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: what what was that pure that's you and Kanye and
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: it's Drake in the middle. What was that picture? Do
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: you remember that picture? Well? I remember this picture. This
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: picture was was my birthday and that's when we did. Uh,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: We did a bunch of records together. We did started up.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: That was the time when Kanye was just saying that
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Lloyd Banks one of the greatest, you know lyricists, right,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: So we did started up with Banks, We did Christian Dior,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Dinham Flow. We did a bunch of records around that time.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm not exactly sure what the Drake oh, because
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: they said that Drake's emergence added to your career being stifled. Hmmm, Well,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I would say, like I have a I got a clip. Uh.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I used to do a lot of work out of
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Chunking studios, and I have a clip of Drake who
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: actually came to the student Yeo at that time. And
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: actually Drake, I think, said something on Instagram the other
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: the other day or a couple of weeks ago that
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: he used to listen to my music a lite and
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: on one of his first mixtapes he said something you
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: could be my next selection, like r Les or something
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: like that. So, I mean, listen, somebody had to inspire
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson to do the Moonwalk. And so for whatever
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I've done, whatever contributions I've made to Cassie, Puffy, Drake,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Kanye and hopefully to the Steve Jobs of the future.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Those are the ways that I think my life is
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: actually going to be measured. Is how generous was I
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: with my creativity, How generous was I with my craft,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: How generous was I with my resources, my contacts. And
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: so I feel like I've been blessed. I've made great
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: decisions from an investment standpoint in terms of time and
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: also in terms of just the stock market, et cetera.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Like me being that early in technology, I knew in
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: two thousand and nine put your money in Google, Apple, Amazon,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: you know Starbucks well, and then I sold Starbucks to
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: get into Facebook, and more recently, you know, being in
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: those conversations in Silicon Valley. Somebody told me in twenty thirteen, hey,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: you should, you should get on the cryptocurrency way, And
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I would have never known about it unless I was
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: in the conversation. But I would have never been in
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: those conversations unless I had the openness to change the conversations.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I was in music industry in so many aspects as
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: a crab mentality, because they feel like there's such scarcity.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Once you can get from a place of scarcity and
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: get to a place of abundance where people like, look,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: there's so much value that's going to be created in cryptocurrency,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: you should get in there. Yeah, there's so much value
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: that's being created in the stock market, you should get
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: in a lot of people do things and try to
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: be really secretive about it and don't want other people
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: to know about it and feel like I'm going to
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: do it. I don't want anybody else to take this
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: from me or still this when really transparency. Fully, that's
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: why I feel like a lot of stuff that happened
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to you in the music industry is more of an
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: indictment of other people's insecurity than it is of you.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: That's the case, and at least you sleep well at
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: night knowing, Oh man, I sleep great all three hours. Well,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: salute to you, Ryan Leslie, thank you, Yeah, yes, and
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, support Ryan Leslie and all because clearly you're
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: trying to do things that are bigger than you. Absolutely,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I'm doing it like they say, we're doing it for
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: the culture. I really am doing it for the culture.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: And it's great to be talking about a ten year
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: anniversary show. Uh that thing sold out over text and
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's just just yet another example of the
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: power of this communication protocol and how underutilized it is.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: And so for the lucky people that actually will be
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: in the building, we're gonna have a great show. And
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: for anything else that you ever need from me, it's
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: text Ryan dot com reach me directly. The words Ryan Leslie,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: therefence say the game, don't get the same man you
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: are donkey today does not discriminate. I might not have
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the song of today, but I got the donkey there.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: So if you ever feel I need to be a
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: donkey man, hit it with the deeples. I've been called
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of my twenty three years. That dunkey of
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: the day is a new wife. Okay, well, don't key.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: The day goes to a fifty year old man in
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Detroit whose name has not been released, but he went
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: the wall with a cockroach and the cockroach one. Let
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. If you've ever tried to kill
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: a cockroach, you understand the struggle. Okay. I grew up
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: in a single wide trailer on a dirt road, and
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: mosskr of South Carolina drop on a clothes box and
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Moss Carna damn. Okay. On that dirt road, the cockroaches
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: were indisruptible wings. We're gonna get there. We're gonna get there.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to one that. I'm talking to one man.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to ones. You may grab a shoe and
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: hit a cockroach with all your might, and it'll run
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: through that hit like Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: runs through linebackers. Okay, See, when you hit that cockroach,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: you have to hit it with something hard and heavy,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: because if you try to use like a flip flop
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: or a balled up newspaper or magazine, that cockroach will
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: not be phased. In fact, you may take that cockroach
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: and and and just make them mad. And when cockroaches
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: getting mad, as Angel Lee just said, they fly. Oh yes,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: cockroaches fly. It's a superpower you don't even realize they have,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: just like Captain Marvel. Okay, one minute, your mind in
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: your business trying to murder a cockroach. Next minute it's
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: a full on aerial attack. And the only thing you
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: can do is spray a whole scene with red, which
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: could potentially end up killing you and the cockroach. All right,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: cockroaches bite as well. Oh it's not a comma, Yes
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: I do. It's not a cock hor fight of cockroaches.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Listen, it's not a common thing,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: but they this is the thing of a small cockroach.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: It's roaches, and then it's cockroaches. Okay, I didn't know that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Don't think a cockroach bite can't happen to you, because
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of us out there believe we're
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: gonna win the powerball. So if you believe that, you
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: are one of the one in two hundred and ninety
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: two million people that can win the Powerball, and please
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: believe you can get bit by cockroach. All right. I'm
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: just trying to paint the picture of how dangerous cockroaches are.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm glad to see the fear in your
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: eye this morning. Angel disgusting. Oh, it's a struggle, and
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: it's one of the main reasons the only cockroach we
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: acknowledge is steal the Bok's best friend. All right, you
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: don't get the reference, do your googles. I don't have
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: time to explain now this fifty year old man and
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Detroit went to war with a cockroach. And I'm telling you,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: if you don't know what you're doing when you're battling
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: these cockroaches. Then you can end up in the same
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: situation this poor man found himself. And when going to
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: war with a cockroach, you have to think murder death.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: You gotta be Michael Jordan Kobe, not Lebron meaning you
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: have to have chiller instinct. It's killer, be killed when
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: battling cockroaches. If you shoot, you better not miss, or
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: that's your ass. And that's exactly what happened to this
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: brother in Detroit. He's fifty years old, he's in a wheelchair,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: mind in his business. Cockroach jumps out and this man
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: fifty but moving like a rookie, threw a shoe across
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: the room after cockroach. Let me tell you never, let
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: me tell you why this is a bad idea. Man.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: When you go to war with a cockroach, you gotta
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: pull up, all right, dude, got the wheelchair, You're supposed
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: to pull up on the cockroach literally, and you gotta
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: get close up on them and wham applied pressure with
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: something heavy and hard, and don't pull that heavy, hard
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: thing off the cockroach until you hear a crunch. Okay,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: when you hear that crunch, then you remove the heavy
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: heart object and you see the guts oozing out of
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the car. Play dead, you think it's dead. Okay, I
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: got it, And then listen for the crunch where to go.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: When you listen for the crunch, you pull that thing off.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: You see the guts oozing out, You know you've won.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Now when you throw a shoe across the room, you
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: give a cockroach time to think. Okay, the cockroaches like,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: do I take flight on his ass, I run for cover,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: come back with a couple of the homies, invite him
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: in his sleep. Or this cockroach they're just gonna really
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: scare you. This cockroach did something I've never seen before. Okay. Clearly,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: cockro just have evolved and they are ready to go
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: to war with raid orcan and any shoe a boot
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: that has ever posed a threat to their existence. Okay,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Because when this man threw his shoe at the cockroach,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: that's what he got back. What a bullet? What the
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: cockroach shot him? The cockroach shot him. Cockroaches can't shoot
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: You heard me, boy? All right? The man threw a
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: shoe at the cockroach and ended up getting shot. Now,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: there was nobody else in the house but this man.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: In the cockroach, the man threw a shoe at the
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: cockroach and then he got shot with a revolver. Okay,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: if it was a single hammer revolver, then you now
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: know why they call it a cock roach. Okay, because
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: it has to have that hammer cocked to be fired. Now.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: W d IBTV is reporting that this man threw his
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: shoe at the roach, and when he threw the shoe,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: he forgot he had his gun in the shoe, and
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: so when it hit the ground, it discharged and shot him.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. I don't believe that what you're saying.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I think these cockroaches are certain areas, got just as
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: many guns as we do, and grew up on the
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: east side of the trail. Yes, absolutely, I got the
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: exact address. It's the eighteen seven hundred block Albions pre
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: what else that I guess, the east side of the trail.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: All I'm saying is, all I'm saying is we need
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: to stay walked because there's a war going on in
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: our homes that nobody is safe from. Okay, these cockroach
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: just got guns. What are we supposed to do? Now?
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: All right, it's some home remedies that you can use.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: They say, fabric soften, the spray work. They say, lemon
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: pills and lemon juice work, dnspray. I've heard that, you know.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: I think that just makes them mad when all else fails.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Instead of throwing that old pad Tim's out. Keep them
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: all right, keep them to be cockroach killers. But I
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: don't know what to do now that cockroach has got
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: hamlets be now he scared to go home? Now not
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: you of the story. The moral of the story is
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: you don't scare a man who sees people as cockroaches,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: and you can't scare a cockroach who sees himself as
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: a man. Yes, please get this fifty year old brother
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: from Detroit. The sweet sounds of the hamletotes. Oh no,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: you are do gee? Oh the do gee? Oh? Is
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: that a real story? You know what stuff we're gonna
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: have to talk about, Jordan Peel. This be a great
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: horror movie. Imagineaches got their guns, just like you ever
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: see that movie back in the day, The Birds, where
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: the birds all came together and they were invading people's homes.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: To imagine the cock roaches have guns and they run
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: you out of your own home. Because I'm already scared
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: to go back in the house. If I ever see
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: a roach, I'm not coming back home. The roads had
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: a gun. You can have the house. They won't be
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: prepared in these streets. All right. We got more coming

  Speaker 1: Call up Man for asking anybody, dj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the guy we are The Breakfast Club, The time for asking, yeat, Hello,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: who's this? Hey? My name is? I'm not gonna because
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: I don't want to. You're anonymous. Okay. I have a
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: man and he has a twenty year old, a seventeen
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: year old, six year old, and a three year old. Okay,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: but I don't have any kids. Okay, my man like
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: everything else. Every day he doesn't call me and saying
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: how your day doing, or did you eat? Anything like that,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: But he caused his daughter, which is acceptable. I don't
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: mind him doing well. I'm not jealous of anything like that.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: But he caused his daughter and he makes sure, Okay,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: did you eat today? Or did you what did you do?
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Did it this or not? But is it wrong for
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: me to say, like, okay, why can't he do that
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: for me? So you want him to treat you like
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: his daughter. No, I don't want him to treat me
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: like his daughter. What I want him to do is
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: I want some of the attentions that I'm not saying.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I want the attention that he's giving his daughter, but
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that as a woman shouldn' he asked me
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: how my thing is going and stuff like that too,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Like I don't understand that's the daughter. You gotta make
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: sure that his daughter is okay? But how about me?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Because it seems like the temptons always driftad But well,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: it sounds like he has four kids and a lot
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: going on that he has to check up on, and
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: you don't have any kids, and your attentions always on him.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: But his attention is more divided because he has a
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: lot more things to be concerned about and a lot
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: more people. Oh yeah, you do you call him and
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: check on him and ask how he's doing. Yes, all
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: the time. I text him at work and make sure
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: he's okay and stuff like that. But he seems he
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem to like get to drift to do it
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: with me. I don't know if it's because I don't
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: ask for or if I don't, But why don't you
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: ask for it? I don't know, because I sound like
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: he's hard heading like you don't listen well, and if
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I ask for it, it won't make no fit well, missunanimously.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Why would you talk yourself out of something that you
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: haven't even tried yet. So this is what you do,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: and it's all about how you ask for things too,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: and how we community kate with each other. So if
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: you say it in a way like you know what
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I love. I love when you call me and check
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: on me. And I appreciate that. That's why I always
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: calling check on you, baby. Yeah, you right? You right?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: I should be more in gi Yeah, I should do things.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Give him the opportunity to do what you want him
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: to do stead instead of saying to yourself, he not
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: gonna do it anyway, he don't want to do this.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Why he don't treat me like this? You got to
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: show people how to treat you sometimes. Yeah, you're right,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: you worry about that. I never thought of it like
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: I just thought of because I'm more quiet than the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: push as am. I say. I'm more of a man
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: coming on to me than me coming on to a man.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: All right, that's all. Well he's a little older, so
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: he's probably not playing those games with you. But go
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: ahead and let him know what you went and do
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: it in a nice way, and perhaps he'll do it
• 1:01:47

  Speaker 1: together because he recently cheated on me a year ago
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: and I was pregnant with our third child. He ended

  Speaker 1: up having a possibility baby. So you don't know yet

• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: hold of helm And I'm like, I'm not I'm not
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: in your situation. She done. She tried to put a
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: restraint in order on us, just been doing like weird,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Like I don't talk to her. I don't even know
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: why she tried to put a restraint on order on us.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: We went to court, the juice looking at her like,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: bitches you crazy. He's like, you need to put a
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: restraint on her, on us, on her, and I'm like,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: I don't do all that? All right? She and it said,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: let's back up for a second. So you and your
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: baby father are together? No, we not together, But do
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: you all live together. Yeah, we still live together, so
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: you are kind of I mean, and you still love him. Yeah,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: I still love him. He's only got I've been with
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: we've been together for almost nine years. But now there's
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be some messiness if this is indeed his baby. Now,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: let's as far as the other women, right, you can't
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: be mad at her. She's pregnant with a child on
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: the way that that child is his, and he's not
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: communicating already had the baby. Oh she had it. So
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: there's been no opportunity test or anything. Yeah, they just rankfully.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: She spent like some people to my house with these
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: court orders and they just recently got a test done.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: The test should be back here and Mark we have
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: find out in March. So part of what you want
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: to do is is it depended also on whether or
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: not this is his child. I just don't know if
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: I should take him back period like that. It's from her.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: I was pregnant and he went on and did that.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: But the sad thing is, it's like, I know why
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: he went on and cheated because I'm crazy. Baby, Listen,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: don't blame a man for cheating on you and not
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: being honest. That's not your fault. Okay, he could have
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: broken up with you and said it's not working. You
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: can't excuse the fact that he's not your fault. Ever,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: you can't say I understand why he did it. He's wrong. Okay, true,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: So don't say, oh, I can understand why he cheated.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Don't let him brainwash you that way. But oh no,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: it's a simple factor like I did from real crazy
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Like if he just parted out, I probably would have
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: when cheated too. He didn't brainwash me or not. But Shannon,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, what did you do? I just got
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: to know. Oh, I stabbed him? Oh my god. This
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: is a toxic relationship. There's cheating, there's stabbing, there's violence. Oh,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: you're doing anything like as far as the fact that
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: you have kids to raise together with therapy like family therapy,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: therapy with him. That's what his mom told us to do.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: But I'm just not with Shannon. That's what you have
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: to say. That's what you have to do. Y'all got
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: kids involved. You guys are violent, there's affairs, there's things
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: going on, and you want to make sure in the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: future that these things don't happen and learn how to
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: deal with your anger a right, And so the first
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: step I would say for you before you decide if
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: you're taking him back or not, is for you to
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: both go to therapy and find out what some of
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: the issues that you have with each other and how
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: to deal with those issues. Better work on that before
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: you decide what decision you're going to make. But you
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: have to do that, all right, right, for the sake
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: of your children. Do that. You're so hard, I don't
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: even know. Listen, the things that are beneficial to you
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: are not always easy, right, and I promise you it's
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: going to help you as a person, as a mom,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: as a potential wife. You have to heal that first,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and whether or not you guys end up together, this
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: would be great for you, all right, bright, all right,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: So don't make any decisions now, but make the decision
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: to go to therapy. That's the only one you need
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: to make, Okay, all right, Shannon, Let please check back
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: in and let me know what happens. We want to
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: monitor your progress. Thank you. Okay, don't stab anyone. I'm
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: done with that angry like I don't know when I
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: get pregnant, I get angry like goodness, gracious, all right,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: mama geezh, all right, ask ye eight hundred five A

  Speaker 1: this guy for like three years now I have an
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: eight year old and that's not my him. Um, that's
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: for my previous relationships. My boyfriend got a job offering
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: toth Calina to become a cop. Now my all my
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: family is here in New Jersey, my grandmother, my son's grandparents,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: His father's nothing we in his life, but I keep
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: in touch with his family, so my son has a
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: great relationship with everybody. My family's here. My boyfriend's family
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: is in South Carolina. Were not all of them, but
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: some of them are there. He got friends there. Now
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: is it fair for me to just uproot my life,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: my son's life, and move there with him to support him?
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: You know? This is this is how you know somebody
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: giving out the average penis, because if that man was
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: giving out top notch penis, you wouldn't even have to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: ask yourself that question. No, that's not true, it's not true. No,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: she's she's looking out for her son. She's not worried here,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: my mom here, his his father's family here. Like I said,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: I keep great contact with him, like it's nobody there
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: for us. You know what I'm saying? How serious is
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: this though? How serious is the relationship? Do you ever ring?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: We're serious? But it's just like you know, it's a
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: take set Like from Jersey to South Carolina. That's a
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: big sep. I take that step without a ring. By
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: the way, I'm I made the opposite step. I made
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: the opposite step. I went from South Carolina to Jersey
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: to New York. Okay, back in two thousand and what six,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: And you know when Wendy Williams and her husband was like, Yo,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: we can give you a place to stay, but we
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: can't pay you. So I was out. Okay, so yo,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to step out on faith, Martin Lui
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Kain Junior said, sometimes you got to step out on faith,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: even if you don't see the whole rest of the steadcase.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: You might just see one step, all right, don't I've
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: been going through his phone, misak through his phone. Now
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: he is going to propose. He already asked my father
