3:34
Speaker 1: after this week. So let's get on into the latest.
3:38
Speaker 2: Now.
3:38
Speaker 1: I mentioned Power a bit, and I think that it's
3:41
Speaker 1: a fine time to show fifty cent and Courtney camp
3:44
Speaker 1: who is one of the showrunners for the Power Universe,
3:47
Speaker 1: the Power series that fifty cent has going on some
3:50
Speaker 1: love because they recently signed a deal with Netflix.
3:54
Speaker 2: This is a streaming deal.
3:56
Speaker 1: It's an international rollout that is expected to do that
4:00
Speaker 1: is expected to introduce millions of new viewers to the
4:05
Speaker 1: Power franchise, which was on Stars Again, which was created
4:09
Speaker 1: by Courtney Kemp Courtney a Kemp, black woman and executive
4:12
Speaker 1: produced by fifty Cent. Now, this will start in November
4:16
Speaker 1: and the entire Power Universe will stream internationally across Netflix.
4:21
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of shows that you watch under Power,
4:25
Speaker 1: so you have the original Power which followed you had
4:31
Speaker 1: the original Power which followed Amari Hardrick Hardrick as ghost
4:35
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick than Power Book two, and you know you
4:38
Speaker 1: met Trek and who is Michael Rainey Junior, And you
4:41
Speaker 1: met Tasha who is Notrey Naught, and you met all
4:44
Speaker 1: of these characters throughout the season Tommy as well, and
4:49
Speaker 1: then the things just kept going Power Book three raising
4:51
Speaker 1: canaan Power Book four Force, which is like Tommy Egan's
4:57
Speaker 1: like own that's his own story. There's been all of
5:00
Speaker 1: these iterations of the show which fans have become to
5:03
Speaker 1: know and love. And I think, like whether you watch
5:08
Speaker 1: Power or any of these shows or not, because I
5:10
Speaker 1: do know that there's like always a conversation of like
5:13
Speaker 1: people who feel like they support the shows or who
5:15
Speaker 1: don't because they don't like some of the depictions of
5:17
Speaker 1: like you know, the drug dealing and all in the
5:19
Speaker 1: shows or whatever.
5:19
Speaker 2: I think overall the stories.
5:22
Speaker 1: That we see throughout the Power series are stories that
5:25
Speaker 1: we can we can all like, even if you don't
5:28
Speaker 1: relate to you've never experienced, you can understand, like people
5:32
Speaker 1: that are making do with what they have doing the
5:34
Speaker 1: best they can on what they got in my Mariah
5:37
Speaker 1: Carey voice, to just get out of the circumstances that
5:39
Speaker 1: they're in and once they are there, trying to find
5:41
Speaker 1: that balance between who they were, who they are and
5:44
Speaker 1: where they're going and how that impacts generations to come.
5:48
Speaker 1: And I think in black Households those conversations not because
5:53
Speaker 1: of the choice of how they get in the money, right, Like,
5:56
Speaker 1: I'm not saying black households and drug dealing is synonymous.
5:58
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that us trying to figure out
6:00
Speaker 1: how to break generational curses. It's such a thing. It's
6:03
Speaker 1: the thing that we talk about so much. It's a
6:05
Speaker 1: thing that you know, we focus on so much because
6:08
Speaker 1: we want better as our kids come and as they
6:11
Speaker 1: grow up. And I think a lot of fifty cent shows,
6:15
Speaker 1: even though they're wrapped up in all of the things
6:18
Speaker 1: and the variables, it gives that and I think that
6:20
Speaker 1: that's why so many so much audience correlates in response
6:24
Speaker 1: to it.
6:25
Speaker 2: The way that they do. It invokes emotion, whether you
6:27
Speaker 2: love it or not.
6:28
Speaker 1: So amazing to see that go down. Congratulations to them.
6:32
Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest things you know to
6:35
Speaker 1: think about when it comes to this is the expansion,
6:37
Speaker 1: and like how it will open up the show to
6:40
Speaker 1: so many people who were not able to just watch
6:43
Speaker 1: it on Stars. I think about shows like Girlfriends, right
6:47
Speaker 1: who in September twenty twenty, they got the whole Girlfriend's
6:53
Speaker 1: show the Catalog with Tracy Ellis Ross and Golden and
6:57
Speaker 1: Jill Marie Jones, and you know, like that came to
7:00
Speaker 1: Netflix and there was a whole generation of young black
7:04
Speaker 1: people and black women who were able to watch this
7:07
Speaker 1: show and again find their overarching themes that they related
7:11
Speaker 1: to and the storylines that they needed to get through
7:14
Speaker 1: certain things. And I remember being home with my mom
7:17
Speaker 1: during this time, because you know, around that time is
7:20
Speaker 1: when everything you know, kicked off with her cancer battle.
7:22
Speaker 1: And I remember we just would sit and watch the
7:25
Speaker 1: shows and watch the episodes as if they were new
7:28
Speaker 1: on Netflix. And it caused so much conversation between me
7:32
Speaker 1: and my mom that when I was younger watching Girlfriends,
7:35
Speaker 1: we weren't having those conversations. I'm a one Mama didn't
7:37
Speaker 1: even look at me as like a real person. I
7:40
Speaker 1: was just her baby and I was a child, and
7:42
Speaker 1: I didn't look at her as a real person. She
7:43
Speaker 1: was my mom and I didn't understand that she also
7:46
Speaker 1: had a life and that, you know, some of the
7:48
Speaker 1: mistakes I would move on to later understand we're just
7:52
Speaker 1: mistakes and her trying to do her best. I didn't
7:54
Speaker 1: understand them. But me being able to revisit that show
7:58
Speaker 1: at a different time period in my life, it changed
8:01
Speaker 1: the way that we were able to talk to each other.
8:03
Speaker 1: And I know, you know, you have The Parkers on
8:05
Speaker 1: Netflix now and you have Insecure rays Insecure on Netflix
8:09
Speaker 1: as well. Same thing I remember going back and watching
8:12
Speaker 1: Insecure Moesha, going back and watching Moesha and just the
8:15
Speaker 1: conversations it sparked, even if not in my household, but
8:18
Speaker 1: just in the community. So you know, whether it's power
8:22
Speaker 1: or whatever the series may be, I'm always excited for
8:25
Speaker 1: black storytellers, black talent, and black centered narratives and conversations
8:30
Speaker 1: to get the odds in the spotlights that they deserve.
8:33
Speaker 1: Always excited to see that. So congratulations the fifty cent
8:36
Speaker 1: and all of his team over there. This is a
8:40
Speaker 1: that's a huge.
8:41
Speaker 2: Thing for them. You know, can't knock the hustle or
8:44
Speaker 2: can I say that it's fifty.
8:45
Speaker 1: And you never know what fifty Moving on, let's talk
8:51
Speaker 1: about some spotlight of some love, y'all. I've been watching
8:56
Speaker 1: this wedding unfold on my timeline for like the last year.
9:00
Speaker 1: I feel like Tyler Lepley and Miracle Watts actors, finally
9:04
Speaker 1: got married in Los Cabos in Mexico, and oh my god,
9:09
Speaker 1: Like I just feel like I've been on this journey
9:11
Speaker 1: with them. I don't know them personally. I've interviewed Tyler
9:15
Speaker 1: Lepley once here at the Breakfast Club. It might have
9:17
Speaker 1: actually been twice. He had twice here at the Breakfast Club.
9:20
Speaker 1: He actually came the last time. He was promoting Ruth
9:22
Speaker 1: and Boaz, a movie that he did with Devon Franklin
9:27
Speaker 1: under Devin Franklin speaking of black storytellers under Devin Franklin's hat.
9:33
Speaker 1: He that that Von Franklin has with Tyler Perry Studios
9:36
Speaker 1: and Miracle Watts and him. You know, they met on
9:40
Speaker 1: the set of Peek Valley some time ago and it's
9:44
Speaker 1: just blossomed from there. I literally feel like I've been
9:48
Speaker 1: a part of like watching this as it goes on. Like,
9:52
Speaker 1: you know, Miracle Watts was really good about documenting her
9:55
Speaker 1: journey trying to figure out everything with the wedding and
9:57
Speaker 1: just documenting you know, parts of the relationship a bit.
10:00
Speaker 1: And you know how people always say, like you don't
10:02
Speaker 1: ever know what's going on in somebody's household. I get it,
10:04
Speaker 1: and I understand all that, but like, it feels so
10:06
Speaker 1: good to see black.
10:08
Speaker 2: Young love on my timeline.
10:10
Speaker 1: You get on social media sometimes and you know, you
10:14
Speaker 1: have to really differentiate, like what are real thoughts you
10:18
Speaker 1: should be having in a relationship or in your relationship
10:20
Speaker 1: and in your household versus what are things that are
10:23
Speaker 1: conspired just for the clicks, the controversy in the engagement.
10:27
Speaker 1: And that's why I like to see couples that, like,
10:30
Speaker 1: from what it appears like, just genuinely effing enjoy each other.
10:35
Speaker 1: Y'all will remember the viral photo of Tyler Lepley and
10:38
Speaker 1: Miracle was dancing in the club and like she did
10:41
Speaker 1: like she's like on him, and it was like the
10:43
Speaker 1: video it turned into a photo, but there's actually a
10:45
Speaker 1: video that it stems from of them dancing in the
10:47
Speaker 1: club and it's just so passionate and intense.
10:50
Speaker 2: You felt that lef throughout the wedding.
10:51
Speaker 1: There was a video that Miracle Watts posted and it
10:54
Speaker 1: made me think about like just what kind of bride
10:57
Speaker 1: I was going to be.
10:58
Speaker 2: So she posted this video before the wedding.
11:00
Speaker 1: It was probably a week or so prior to the wedding,
11:02
Speaker 1: and she talked about being a type A, type B
11:05
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a type B bride and what she didn't
11:09
Speaker 1: have prepared because she's a type B bride. So for
11:12
Speaker 1: anybody that's wondering, a type B bride is a bride
11:16
Speaker 1: or a type B person. And I was trying to
11:17
Speaker 1: figure out, like, am I type B because I am
11:20
Speaker 1: this kind of sounds like me. It's a person that's
11:22
Speaker 1: very relaxed, very easy going, flexible, very go with the flow.
11:28
Speaker 1: And when it comes to a type B bride, that's
11:30
Speaker 1: the attitude that you apply to your wedding. So you're
11:33
Speaker 1: focusing more on like the overall experience in the you know,
11:37
Speaker 1: trying to micro.
11:38
Speaker 2: Manage the small details.
11:40
Speaker 1: And when Miracle Watch posted this video talking about she
11:42
Speaker 1: ain't even have a wedding dress in her possession yet
11:45
Speaker 1: and she was like less than a month out from
11:48
Speaker 1: the wedding, I got nervous for her, but it worked out.
11:50
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen, okay, So let's talk about a
11:52
Speaker 3: few things that I have not done as a type
11:55
Speaker 3: B bride with nine days.
11:58
Speaker 2: Until my wedding.
12:00
Speaker 3: So Number one, y'all gonna be mad at me. Listen,
12:05
Speaker 3: don't judge me.
12:06
Speaker 2: Number one, I still don't have a wedding dress.
12:09
Speaker 3: It actually should be here today, so we are hoping,
12:13
Speaker 3: you know that it fits and then everything is just.
12:17
Speaker 2: Perfect. Number two, I don't.
12:19
Speaker 3: Have a reception dress. Number three, no alterations. Obviously, I
12:25
Speaker 3: don't have any dresses, so no alterations have been done.
12:28
Speaker 3: I haven't completed my diys. I don't have any wedding shoes.
12:34
Speaker 2: What what? What's what? I don't have nothing. I don't
12:41
Speaker 2: have ad motherfucker x y Z. I don't have a
12:44
Speaker 2: goddamn thing. But we're gonna be good. We aren't gonna
12:47
Speaker 2: be good.
12:48
Speaker 3: It's actually this list is way longer, but I'm gonna
12:50
Speaker 3: stop here.
12:52
Speaker 2: I mean, so listen.
12:53
Speaker 3: Chaotic, Yes, I understand, but I have favor that everything
12:59
Speaker 3: is gonna be fine, and I am.
13:00
Speaker 2: We have a venue, we have family, and we have liquor.
13:06
Speaker 3: Why without being a building, that's it. That's that's all
13:10
Speaker 3: that matters. So I guess I can just leave us here.
13:13
Speaker 3: Everything is gonna work out.
13:15
Speaker 2: I just have aith. It's gonna work out?
13:17
Speaker 1: Is that it?
13:18
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go down this list because he already
13:20
Speaker 3: he makes me feel good. I'm I don't have shit.
13:24
Speaker 1: I guess, but baby, let me tell you something she
13:28
Speaker 1: talking about. She had a dress. She had alterations, right,
13:31
Speaker 1: she ain't have a dress for her reception. When I
13:34
Speaker 1: say she looked beautiful, essence did like an exclusive look
13:38
Speaker 1: into the wedding.
13:39
Speaker 2: I loved her wedding dress.
13:41
Speaker 1: What I loved about her wedding dress was the way
13:43
Speaker 1: the shape of it like it was very like bail,
13:46
Speaker 1: like Southern bail, like the corset with the you know,
13:49
Speaker 1: the pageant dresses. Like when I used to wear pageants,
13:51
Speaker 1: they would strap you in and you have to suck
13:53
Speaker 1: up in the corsett and the big poofy dress would
13:56
Speaker 1: come down. You'd be slim at the top and it
13:57
Speaker 1: would poof out at the bottom. I don't even know
13:59
Speaker 1: what those are called, but y'all know what I'm talking about.
14:02
Speaker 1: The wedding dress gave that. But it was also like elegant.
14:06
Speaker 1: It had like, you know, a little hint of sexy
14:08
Speaker 1: with the lace, and it was she looked good. It
14:12
Speaker 1: worked out, baby, Okay, But I think what I love
14:15
Speaker 1: the most, and I've mentioned it a few times, was
14:17
Speaker 1: just how intimate and full of love the wedding seemed.
14:20
Speaker 1: And y'all are gonna be like, well, duh, Lauren, it
14:22
Speaker 1: was a wedding. Of course, it was intimate and full
14:24
Speaker 1: of love. But let me tell y'all, a lot of
14:26
Speaker 1: people who are in the like entertainment space, like I've
14:30
Speaker 1: I've watched and covered several celebrity weddings, and you know,
14:36
Speaker 1: you see all of the like features in Essence or
14:39
Speaker 1: Vogue or like wherever whoever breaks into People magazine where
14:43
Speaker 1: they're doing like the wedding photos and they, you know,
14:45
Speaker 1: the pictures of the wedding party, and you're seeing all
14:49
Speaker 1: the video and the content on social media, and a
14:51
Speaker 1: lot of times like yeah, you know, it's nice and
14:53
Speaker 1: it's and there's love, but like there's a difference when
14:56
Speaker 1: you feel like people aren't concerned about the who's who's
15:00
Speaker 1: the attendance of the wedding and like actually loving each other.
15:04
Speaker 1: And you can tell the difference even if you don't
15:06
Speaker 1: know the people from the outside looking and like you
15:08
Speaker 1: can feel the energy. The last big celebrity wedding was
15:13
Speaker 1: what Travis Scott Travis, Scott, Travis Kelce, Tayler Swift. We
15:17
Speaker 1: didn't get a look really into their wedding, but people
15:19
Speaker 1: talked about how magical it was. Yeah, but people talked
15:23
Speaker 1: about how magical it was, but like we know that,
15:26
Speaker 1: like she did it, Madison Square Guard. There were tons
15:28
Speaker 1: of celebrities, Like there were celebrities that came out where
15:31
Speaker 1: I was like, how do y'all even know? I didn't
15:32
Speaker 1: even think y'all even knew them, Like, how did this?
15:34
Speaker 1: Even I knew them enough to go to their wedding.
15:37
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, you can have a big
15:39
Speaker 1: wedding and it still felt intimate and full of love.
15:42
Speaker 1: But I say all that to say taking it as
15:45
Speaker 1: an example to say that a lot of times in
15:46
Speaker 1: the celebrity world, like I think, you know, everything is
15:49
Speaker 1: about the headline and about the feature and about the
15:51
Speaker 1: write up and who's there, and they purposely I was
15:53
Speaker 1: reading some of their Essence feature where Miracle Watts and
15:57
Speaker 1: Tyler Lepley are now Miracle Lepley talked about how they
16:01
Speaker 1: wanted to complete opposite, like they really focused on making
16:04
Speaker 1: sure they had people who were a part of their
16:06
Speaker 1: lives for real, for real and a part of their
16:08
Speaker 1: journeys at their wedding, and you felt it like from
16:12
Speaker 1: you know, them rolling out, the weekend that they had
16:15
Speaker 1: leading into the wedding and the fun that they were
16:17
Speaker 1: having and the partying to you know, just the video
16:21
Speaker 1: watching Miracle walk Watts walk down the aisle to become
16:25
Speaker 1: missus Lepley. When I say she was balling crying, I
16:29
Speaker 1: mean I've never seen a bride cry as much. Normally
16:33
Speaker 1: the guy cries her, and don't get me wrong, he
16:35
Speaker 1: was crying too, but like she was, I was like, wow,
16:39
Speaker 1: Like I felt the emotion even though it was short.
16:41
Speaker 1: It's like she didn't put as much as her ball
16:42
Speaker 1: and crying, probably because she wanted, you know, to make
16:44
Speaker 1: up it's hot whatever, But I felt it, like I
16:48
Speaker 1: felt there, like love for each other through social So
16:51
Speaker 1: congratulations to them another thing you know, I felt and
16:57
Speaker 1: I saw and I was like, got to do this.
16:59
Speaker 1: They had a shot cart come down the aisle. They
17:03
Speaker 1: had a shot cart, okay, come down the aisle as
17:07
Speaker 1: they were awaiting Miracle to arrive on the aisle and
17:10
Speaker 1: her mom and dad walked her down the aisle. By
17:12
Speaker 1: the way, Tyler Lepley came out and he's just like
17:16
Speaker 1: entertaining the crowd, and like he came out to this song.
17:18
Speaker 1: He's dancing to the song and he's just in such
17:20
Speaker 1: a good mood and like ready to receive his bride
17:23
Speaker 1: and the shot card. I'm like, yes, honey, I know
17:27
Speaker 1: that's right. Y'all better be young, have a good time,
17:30
Speaker 1: and enjoy it. One of my biggest things with marriage
17:33
Speaker 1: is I always tell myself that in my marriage, I
17:36
Speaker 1: want to be able to still enjoy myself and I
17:39
Speaker 1: really want to be like real life friends with my partner, like.
17:43
Speaker 2: In a real way.
17:44
Speaker 1: Like I think marriage is a thing where like the
17:46
Speaker 1: wedding and the ceremony can be so beautiful and the
17:49
Speaker 1: pictures and you have all these things, but there are
17:51
Speaker 1: a lot of marriages where like the foundation is like
17:53
Speaker 1: so the complete opposite and the people who I listen
17:59
Speaker 1: to and not even like listen to in a way
18:02
Speaker 1: of like every marriage is going to be different, like
18:05
Speaker 1: so not per se, like you know, you try to
18:07
Speaker 1: like mimic a marriage because you don't know. But I
18:10
Speaker 1: do love talking to married people about being married, like
18:14
Speaker 1: I really do, because for me, it's like I'm hearing
18:16
Speaker 1: and learning in real time tools that it takes to
18:19
Speaker 1: survive the fact that, like you're not the same person
18:22
Speaker 1: when you get married as you are two years into
18:24
Speaker 1: the marriage.
18:25
Speaker 2: One year is dank. Six months into the marriage.
18:27
Speaker 1: You know, things change, babies, you know, even if you've
18:30
Speaker 1: got a baby at the time of marriage, your baby
18:32
Speaker 1: gets older. Think work changes, your body's change. Like, so
18:37
Speaker 1: I think that at the core of that there has
18:38
Speaker 1: to be something very real. And everyone that I've spoken
18:42
Speaker 1: to has always said friendship and communication and relearning each
18:47
Speaker 1: other like never It's gonna sound so cliche, but like
18:50
Speaker 1: never stopping, like you never stop like dating each other
18:52
Speaker 1: in a way. And I think, to me, I hear,
18:57
Speaker 1: real foundation is friendship. Communication. There's a lot that come
19:00
Speaker 1: with that, like honesty, hard conversations, knowing that this is
19:06
Speaker 1: your person you're gonna have your best of your times with.
19:09
Speaker 1: Just there's a lot of ups and downs that come
19:11
Speaker 1: with that. But friendship, like I think the friendship is
19:15
Speaker 1: really it goes without saying that, like a friendship at
19:19
Speaker 1: the core of a marriage. And God, let me not
19:20
Speaker 1: forget that too, because that's the other thing too that
19:23
Speaker 1: a lot of people tell me, like having their religion
19:27
Speaker 1: and their faith be the center of it along with
19:29
Speaker 1: the communication and the friendship. Could it just there's a
19:33
Speaker 1: deeper meaning to Marris and just you know, we're signing
19:36
Speaker 1: paperwork and now what's yours is mine?
19:39
Speaker 2: And the business of it.
19:40
Speaker 1: You know, there are contracts that you sign, people do prenups,
19:43
Speaker 1: you know, there's marriage licenses, Like there's paperwork to this,
19:47
Speaker 1: But the deeper substance of it in the way that
19:49
Speaker 1: you guys are equally yoped and the way that your
19:52
Speaker 1: lives change when that union becomes one. I think it's
19:55
Speaker 1: a testament to like where the relationship like starts. And
19:59
Speaker 1: maybe it's not situational right of how it starts. Maybe
20:02
Speaker 1: it's you know, where it starts in terms of like
20:07
Speaker 1: how you guys build through whatever those situations are that
20:10
Speaker 1: start the relationship. Like I don't know, I just have
20:13
Speaker 1: loved watching them get married. Don't even know them personally,
20:16
Speaker 1: but I loved watching them get married. Oh you know
20:18
Speaker 1: another wedding I watched online and I was like, yes,
20:23

20:26
Speaker 1: She just went congratulations to her as well too. She
20:28
Speaker 1: just welcomed their second daughter together, but their third child
20:31
Speaker 1: or not even a third their I think it's like
20:33
Speaker 1: they're for her fifth child, because Rondo also has children
20:36
Speaker 1: prior to her. But watching their wedding to LaToya and Rondo,
20:43
