- 3:12Speaker 8: the fights that matter?
- 3:14Speaker 6: And when is out right?
- 3:15Speaker 9: Now?
- 3:15Speaker 4: I we recommend a lot of books up here because
- 3:17Speaker 4: you know, I do a lot of reading. But this
- 3:19Speaker 4: is an amazing book because a lot of y'all think
- 3:21Speaker 4: that y'all got power, but you don't, you know what
- 3:23Speaker 4: I mean, especially you folks on social media who just
- 3:26Speaker 4: be making a whole lot of noise. And that's what
- 3:27Speaker 4: this book it's essentially about, you know, from Presence to power, right,
- 3:32Speaker 4: because we mistake presence for power, but how to take
- 3:36Speaker 4: on the fights that matter? And when we'll be talking
- 3:38Speaker 4: to Rashard Robinson next hour.
- 3:39Speaker 8: All right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five
- 3:41Speaker 8: eight five one five one. Let's start the show with
- 3:43Speaker 8: some morning morning. Everybody is dj n V just hilarious,
- 3:49Speaker 8: Charlamage the guy, we are the breakfast club.
- 3:51Speaker 6: Let's get in some front page news. What's up to me?
- 3:55Speaker 10: Good morning V Charlamagne, Jess, how you doing girl?
- 3:58Speaker 6: Good girsha.
- 4:01Speaker 11: Anyway?
- 4:02Speaker 10: Okay, So we started this morning with growing questions about
- 4:06Speaker 10: Senator Mitch McConnell as a key election deadline quickly approaches.
- 4:11Speaker 10: So McConnell has not been seen in public or cast
- 4:13Speaker 10: a vote in the Senate more than six weeks, about
- 4:15Speaker 10: four to four days. We talked about this before after
- 4:18Speaker 10: being hospitalized following what his office.
- 4:20Speaker 11: Described as a fall.
- 4:22Speaker 10: Well, now Kentucky Governor Andy Basheer is giving the longtime
- 4:26Speaker 10: senator an ultimatum, prove you are still able to serve
- 4:29Speaker 10: or resign.
- 4:30Speaker 11: Let's listen to the governor.
- 4:32Speaker 2: It's been six weeks and we've had two formal statements
- 4:35Speaker 2: and two pictures. Six weeks away from work. That's a
- 4:39Speaker 2: pretty significant thing. And so I don't think it's a
- 4:41Speaker 2: lot just to say. If you're communicating with your staff,
- 4:44Speaker 2: communicate with the public. And I'm not trying to pile
- 4:46Speaker 2: on with all this stuff that's out there. All I'm
- 4:49Speaker 2: trying to do is ask the bear minimum. And it
- 4:52Speaker 2: raises the concern that he might not be able to
- 4:54Speaker 2: meet the bare minimum. And if that's true, then yes,
- 4:57Speaker 2: Kentucky would need a resignation, ultimately need a replacement. All
- 5:01Speaker 2: we're asking is just a little bit of proof.
- 5:04Speaker 8: Are they saying those pictures are fake because I've seen it,
- 5:06Speaker 8: cos I've seen like a picture or two where he
- 5:08Speaker 8: was sitting there with his wife.
- 5:10Speaker 10: Yeah, they're not saying that they're fake, but inquiry minds
- 5:14Speaker 10: want to know. We've seen what two pictures and two
- 5:16Speaker 10: formal statements. And then they're saying, well, he's been on
- 5:19Speaker 10: the phone for seventeen minutes with his staff, but he hasn't.
- 5:22Speaker 11: Shown up to you know, to vote.
- 5:25Speaker 10: And a lot of members of the press are like, well,
- 5:28Speaker 10: call in so that you know, the press can verify,
- 5:31Speaker 10: you know, what they need to hear, and he hasn't
- 5:32Speaker 10: done that either. And so the governor there is saying
- 5:35Speaker 10: that there is an August third deadline. So if McConnell's
- 5:38Speaker 10: seat becomes vacant before then, then Kentucky can hold a
- 5:41Speaker 10: special election to feel the final weeks of his term.
- 5:45Speaker 10: If not, the seat would remain vacant until January. So
- 5:49Speaker 10: they're trying to figure something out what's happening by August third.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Well, no, it's incredible how Mitch McConnell can hide behind
- 5:54Speaker 4: the news, right because this administration floods his own so
- 5:57Speaker 4: much that it makes us forget. Mitch McConnell might be dead,
- 6:00Speaker 4: but in this country, proof of life. It was sitting
- 6:01Speaker 4: in the center that should be the bad minimum. Is
- 6:03Speaker 4: he in a hospital, Maybe he.
- 6:06Speaker 10: Was in a something like a rehabilitation center. They're not
- 6:10Speaker 10: calling it a hospital.
- 6:12Speaker 4: They don't have a responsibility to let people know whether
- 6:15Speaker 4: or not a sitting senator is alive or not. So
- 6:17Speaker 4: why aren't people asking that rehabilitations and a question?
- 6:20Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's not only that he's in the hospital bed, right,
- 6:23Speaker 8: And we've all had family members ourselves who have been
- 6:25Speaker 8: in the hospital bed.
- 6:25Speaker 6: Have you ever been in the hospital bed fully clothed?
- 6:28Speaker 8: No, because he has jeans on in the hospital bed.
- 6:30Speaker 8: He has his shirt buttoned up to his neck in
- 6:32Speaker 8: the hospital bed. That's what makes me feel like the
- 6:34Speaker 8: photo is a little off right because he would be
- 6:36Speaker 8: in a gown, you know, just my opinion.
- 6:40Speaker 10: Yeah, there are so many questions, so so so many questions,
- 6:43Speaker 10: and it shouldn't be And as the governor, he made
- 6:46Speaker 10: a point he said, listen, who can show up? Who
- 6:48Speaker 10: cannot show up for six weeks, you know, to work
- 6:51Speaker 10: and not have to give an excuse as to where
- 6:53Speaker 10: they are.
- 6:53Speaker 11: What they're doing, what you know they're not coming back.
- 6:56Speaker 5: Who can do that?
- 6:57Speaker 4: And there's so many people that got to be involved
- 6:59Speaker 4: in this cover up. And it's clearly a cover up
- 7:02Speaker 4: because if you know he was in good health, are
- 7:04Speaker 4: even alive, It would be nothing to show us that
- 7:08Speaker 4: transparency is always dancers. You know something else don't want
- 7:11Speaker 4: to ask you? Maybe, so this is very interesting. What's
- 7:12Speaker 4: this about? Health insurance keeps millions trapped in their jobs?
- 7:16Speaker 10: Yeah, so you know, health insurance is keeping millions of
- 7:20Speaker 10: Americans stuck in a job that they want to leave.
- 7:23Speaker 10: So a new Ballance study found that one in four
- 7:26Speaker 10: workers who get health insurance through their employer say they're
- 7:30Speaker 10: staying because they're afraid to lose coverage. So that's about
- 7:33Speaker 10: twenty three million people. The reason is simple. Health insurance
- 7:38Speaker 10: is expensive, right, The average family now pays about twenty
- 7:42Speaker 10: seven thousand dollars a year, and workers still pay a
- 7:45Speaker 10: lot of that out of their own pocket.
- 7:47Speaker 11: And so the study found that the problem.
- 7:49Speaker 10: Is even worse for people who have chronic health conditions,
- 7:52Speaker 10: medical debt, and they just say that they can't afford
- 7:54Speaker 10: to leave because they need their health insurance.
- 7:57Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I see that.
- 7:58Speaker 8: I mean you think about if people get sick every
- 8:00Speaker 8: day and if you don't have health coverage, you can't
- 8:02Speaker 8: cover your normal things that you need.
- 8:05Speaker 6: My biggest thing that my mom wanted me to do.
- 8:06Speaker 8: When I graduated college, she told she wanted me to
- 8:08Speaker 8: get a job with a hat, meaning she wanted me
- 8:10Speaker 8: to get a job with benefits so that if anything ever.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Happened to me, I would be covered.
- 8:14Speaker 8: So I can see why people would stay at a
- 8:15Speaker 8: job that they don't like just to make sure they
- 8:17Speaker 8: are covered if something does happen, especially if they have
- 8:19Speaker 8: family members.
- 8:20Speaker 6: And kids, Because your kids are covered too, So I
- 8:22Speaker 6: get that. I understand that.
- 8:23Speaker 4: You know, I tell kids all the time, and I
- 8:25Speaker 4: guess you got to tell adults too. There's one hundred
- 8:27Speaker 4: and sixty eight hours in a week, so to me,
- 8:29Speaker 4: that's more than enough time to deal with your reality.
- 8:32Speaker 4: And your reality is having a job that pays your bills,
- 8:34Speaker 4: covers your health insurance and stuff like that. But then
- 8:36Speaker 4: you still have time to deal with your dreams. Because
- 8:38Speaker 4: I feel like if you're only focused on your reality,
- 8:40Speaker 4: that can make you sick.
- 8:42Speaker 6: Right Like if you don't have a hobby.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Yard, just you know, something else you like to do
- 8:46Speaker 4: with take your extra times, you know, just working at
- 8:49Speaker 4: a job that you hate just to have to pay
- 8:51Speaker 4: bills and just have to pay health insurance, that'll drive you.
- 8:53Speaker 6: That'll that'll make you sick.
- 8:55Speaker 10: Yeah, and just just a quick note here a sign
- 8:58Speaker 10: of the times, I said it was about three million people.
- 9:00Speaker 10: That's up sixteen percent from just a few years ago.
- 9:04Speaker 10: So just you know, telling us what we're we're living,
- 9:07Speaker 10: what times we're living in right now that people just
- 9:09Speaker 10: cannot afford.
- 9:10Speaker 6: To leave their job.
- 9:11Speaker 8: And to add what Charlemagne said, that was the main
- 9:13Speaker 8: reason why I decided to get into music because I
- 9:16Speaker 8: seen my dad, who you know, we all know is
- 9:18Speaker 8: retired police officer. He hated his job, like he had
- 9:21Speaker 8: to work on Thanksgiving at times, he had to work
- 9:23Speaker 8: on Christmas at times, and my mother hated working for
- 9:25Speaker 8: her insurance company.
- 9:27Speaker 6: Like when I say hated, hated.
- 9:29Speaker 8: So when I seen him come home and they were
- 9:30Speaker 8: just so stressed, I was like, I don't want to
- 9:32Speaker 8: be that. I want to be something that I enjoyed,
- 9:33Speaker 8: and thank god I was able to do it.
- 9:35Speaker 6: So thank you and me.
- 9:37Speaker 10: Well coming up at seven, this product was a staple
- 9:40Speaker 10: in many households, and you'll want to hear what is
- 9:42Speaker 10: happening to it after decades of lawsuits.

- 20:03Speaker 21: Kanye West is talking about why his number ones with

- 20:24Speaker 21: Lauren, I'm the homegrown that knows a little bit about
- 20:26Speaker 21: everything in carry.

- 20:32Speaker 3: The little brown girls look at you and I want
- 20:34Speaker 3: to be like you.
- 20:35Speaker 6: Hello, talk to me?
- 20:38Speaker 3: All right, y'all.
- 20:39Speaker 21: So Beyonce, you guys know she dropped her Sir Davis
- 20:42Speaker 21: Whiskey brand back in twenty twenty four. The brand was
- 20:45Speaker 21: actually named after her paternal great grandfather, who was a
- 20:49Speaker 21: farmer in the Moonshiner in America in the Sothdorm prohibition. Yesterday,
- 20:54Speaker 21: news was announced that she took full ownership of the
- 20:58Speaker 21: Sir Davis American Whistky brand that she found it. She
- 21:02Speaker 21: founded it in partnership with Moet Hennessy. Now there is
- 21:05Speaker 21: no like, there isn't a bunch of information of like
- 21:07Speaker 21: why the shift happened or why the change happened. But
- 21:10Speaker 21: I mean, I think it's something to celebrate that, you know,
- 21:12Speaker 21: she has a full ownership, and obviously that means that
- 21:14Speaker 21: we're about to be seeing something from her more with
- 21:17Speaker 21: the brand because now she'll be in full ownership of it.
- 21:20Speaker 21: I just saw a lot of the Spirit's business website
- 21:23Speaker 21: celebrating this. I think it's always dope though and beyond
- 21:27Speaker 21: in the product space does itself, So I can't answer that,
- 21:34Speaker 21: but I know that Beyonce pushes it a lot via
- 21:37Speaker 21: her Instagram.
- 21:38Speaker 3: But I've never seen it in like.
- 21:41Speaker 7: I don't even know what she was talking about, Like
- 21:45Speaker 7: you don't really hear yeah good or anything. I mean,
- 21:49Speaker 7: I've never yeah, I don't, I've never tried it. But
- 21:50Speaker 7: she sent it to you guys, didn't she?
- 21:53Speaker 6: How was it she sent it. I think it's overhanded.
- 21:56Speaker 6: I didn't try it.
- 21:56Speaker 4: I'm not a whiskey person, so I'm not the person
- 21:58Speaker 4: to ask about with I Actually.
- 22:00Speaker 3: I'm a whiskey person. I like it, but I don't know.
- 22:03Speaker 7: I didn't particularly care for uh, you know, sir, the whiskey,
- 22:08Speaker 7: her whiskey.
- 22:08Speaker 6: I do drink old fashion, don't. I don't know how
- 22:12Speaker 6: to make an old fashion, so I get it when
- 22:13Speaker 6: I'm out and about.
- 22:14Speaker 4: But whatever happened to though maybe whiskey, whiskey bourbon, whatever
- 22:20Speaker 4: that is, go ahead.
- 22:22Speaker 21: I was gonna say that it's retail like the retail
- 22:24Speaker 21: price is eighty nine dollars and it's only sold in
- 22:26Speaker 21: select stores in the US, and you can buy it
- 22:28Speaker 21: on the Sir Davis website.
- 22:30Speaker 7: But it'll probably be better when mixed drinks, like you said,
- 22:34Speaker 7: like the old.
- 22:35Speaker 6: Yeah, I drink old fashon when I'm out about, but.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Whiskey is an acquired taste.
- 22:38Speaker 8: Though it is, a lot of people do drink whiskey.
- 22:40Speaker 8: I'm just not a whiskey drinking well. I was gonna
- 22:42Speaker 8: ask whatever happened to that other whiskey brand. I know
- 22:44Speaker 8: they were sooning the lady at one point. Whatever happened
- 22:46Speaker 8: with that they.
- 22:46Speaker 7: Finished, I'm going to that was now like a month ago.
- 22:52Speaker 7: Like I know that they like moved her out as owner. Wow,
- 22:56Speaker 7: and I drinks. Yeah, I would have to up. But
- 23:00Speaker 7: I just remember the last article that I saw. I
- 23:02Speaker 7: sent it to you guys, but I think I was
- 23:04Speaker 7: like a week or so late. I didn't even know
- 23:05Speaker 7: that it had happened that they had moved her out
- 23:07Speaker 7: as owner.
- 23:09Speaker 3: All because everything was happening.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Sir David Sell, That's all I wanted to know how
- 23:15Speaker 4: we got here.
- 23:15Speaker 6: I just want to ask a simple question.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't answer the sales numbers.
- 23:18Speaker 21: But people are celebrating this though, because with Beyonce buying
- 23:21Speaker 21: out Mowett's our steak in the company, it is now
- 23:25Speaker 21: a fully black woman owned brand.
- 23:27Speaker 3: So celebrating gradually.
- 23:29Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 23:30Speaker 21: So Kanye West. So Larry Jackson from Gamma, who is UH.
- 23:34Speaker 21: You know they're working with Kanye West. Now, he was
- 23:37Speaker 21: doing a live conversation at UH on a panel and
- 23:42Speaker 21: during that conversation he decided to pick up the phone
- 23:44Speaker 21: and called Kanye West. Because Kanye West has been celebrating
- 23:47Speaker 21: a lot of victories with Bully. Let's take a listen
- 23:49Speaker 21: to Kanye.
- 23:50Speaker 13: Yeah, I just wanted.
- 23:51Speaker 14: To thank you so much for getting behind this so
- 23:54Speaker 14: on this journey.
- 23:55Speaker 13: These number ones mean even.
- 23:58Speaker 23: More than the graduations and washing the thrones and all
- 24:04Speaker 23: the number ones before, because.
- 24:07Speaker 6: As you know, like a year into the project, I
- 24:09Speaker 6: went into an episode.
- 24:10Speaker 16: So that's right.
- 24:11Speaker 14: Here is a celebration and a victory, a success story
- 24:18Speaker 14: of people who has who deal.
- 24:21Speaker 13: With mental health crisis.
- 24:24Speaker 14: To be able to come out of it and actually
- 24:26Speaker 14: have number one records with all the things that were done,
- 24:30Speaker 14: with all things that were said, and for you guys
- 24:32Speaker 14: to be so forgiven and so supportive just means the just.
- 24:37Speaker 6: Means the world of me. Listen, man, I hope Kanye
- 24:40Speaker 6: West is getting mentally healthy.
- 24:41Speaker 4: I hope the silence we've heard from Kanye West, you know,
- 24:43Speaker 4: has been him actually doing the work on yourself.
- 24:46Speaker 6: I hope he has a handle on his mental health episodes.
- 24:48Speaker 6: I really do.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I do as well too. I want to mention so.
- 24:54Speaker 21: This year, Bully hit number one globally on Spotify and
- 24:57Speaker 21: Apple Music with over two hundred and sixty four million
- 25:00Speaker 21: first weeks. Yeah, and I know it set a lot
- 25:02Speaker 21: of other records for him as well. And I saw
- 25:04Speaker 21: that he set records across you know, Sofi Stadium for
- 25:06Speaker 21: ticket sales as well too. So he's been having a
- 25:08Speaker 21: successful career musically. But I do think, you know, it's
- 25:11Speaker 21: important that he gets everything else together. But he sounds
- 25:14Speaker 21: good back. He sounds like he's kind of ticket sometimes.
- 25:17Speaker 21: So yeah, yeah. Now in other music news, So yesterday
- 25:22Speaker 21: LaToya Luckett, she was celebrating twenty years of her debut
- 25:26Speaker 21: album and amiss that celebration. Her and her manager were
- 25:31Speaker 21: having a conversation on a uh like video conference, and
- 25:36Speaker 21: they began to talk about kind of some of the
- 25:38Speaker 21: struggles that they went through when she was putting out
- 25:39Speaker 21: this debut album.
- 25:40Speaker 9: Let's take a listen, we fought through a lot of
- 25:43Speaker 9: When your record went to radio, there was a call
- 25:46Speaker 9: put in that if you play that record, you won't
- 25:49Speaker 9: get no more records from this group.
- 25:51Speaker 11: Was not pretty to that information.
- 25:53Speaker 24: Yes, there was a manday called up to the radio stations,
- 25:57Speaker 24: I do not play that record. You know, remember when
- 26:01Speaker 24: when songwriters were getting paid, we sent a certain writer
- 26:04Speaker 24: twenty thousand dollars to do a record.
- 26:06Speaker 6: I'll say name Sean Carrett.
- 26:08Speaker 9: Yes, Sean called me and was like, yo, bro, I
- 26:10Speaker 9: can't do that record.
- 26:11Speaker 6: I said, what are you talking about? You can't do
- 26:13Speaker 6: the record? You got the money.
- 26:15Speaker 24: I went down to Atlanta, Well, let's studio with him.
- 26:17Speaker 6: I was like, Sean, what are you doing? What are
- 26:19Speaker 6: you talking about? You can't do this record.
- 26:20Speaker 25: He was like, he was like, but you know what,
- 26:22Speaker 25: at the end of the day, Sean is very successful.
- 26:26Speaker 6: He was honest with me.
- 26:27Speaker 5: It was like incredible.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Records for some incredible artists.
- 26:30Speaker 26: And as a matter of fact.
- 26:32Speaker 25: He actually had to look me in my face and
- 26:35Speaker 25: he told me the reason why.
- 26:37Speaker 3: And he also was very apologetic, veryous. What I don't
- 26:44Speaker 3: know why it cut off? He looked during all right,
- 26:47Speaker 3: he looked it.
- 26:48Speaker 6: Was like the lead up and then just stopped.
- 26:50Speaker 8: Because if it was asked to be black balled, or
- 26:53Speaker 8: if he just did it because he was working with
- 26:54Speaker 8: them and didn't want to be in the middle of it.
- 26:56Speaker 6: Because there's two different things, you know.
- 26:59Speaker 21: So I've heard conversations on both sides, Like I've heard
- 27:02Speaker 21: like other writers and producers speak out and say that
- 27:06Speaker 21: like they alleged that, like there were people that were
- 27:08Speaker 21: telling them that you couldn't work with both groups. But
- 27:10Speaker 21: it wasn't like a hey, hey, we don't want like
- 27:14Speaker 21: a person saying you you're not able to It's just
- 27:16Speaker 21: you had to kind of like pick and choose, like
- 27:18Speaker 21: who were the girls that you were going to focus
- 27:20Speaker 21: on during this time. And then I've also heard people
- 27:22Speaker 21: say that because you know the brand and people think
- 27:25Speaker 21: that this is a lot a lot of people are
- 27:26Speaker 21: pointing to mister Matthews and Destiny shouts team.
- 27:29Speaker 3: They're trying to put it on them.
- 27:30Speaker 21: Like I saw mister Matthew Knows post something, but LaToya
- 27:33Speaker 21: Luckett commented under it, under it with hearts. He posted
- 27:35Speaker 21: this like a day ago and it was like a
- 27:37Speaker 21: sister of love and it was a video of all
- 27:39Speaker 21: of the girls hugging or whatever. But people are in
- 27:41Speaker 21: the comments wondering if the person that they're talking about
- 27:43Speaker 21: calling the radio station and then sending out some of
- 27:45Speaker 21: these directives would have been mister Matthew Knows.
- 27:47Speaker 3: But I do know this.
- 27:49Speaker 8: There's a total difference to accuse somebody of black balling you,
- 27:52Speaker 8: or the fact that somebody might say, you know what,
- 27:54Speaker 8: I work with Beyonce, I'll work with Dessi' child and
- 27:56Speaker 8: I don't want to get in the middle of it.
- 27:57Speaker 6: So I'm not going to write for you. There's totally
- 27:59Speaker 6: two different things.
- 28:00Speaker 4: That album still did well, did well, Yeah, debut at
- 28:04Speaker 4: number one on the Billboard.
- 28:05Speaker 3: Yeah, it still did very well.
- 28:07Speaker 21: And Torn was like such a it still is such
- 28:09Speaker 21: a big song that you can play that to this day.
- 28:10Speaker 21: And that's what she was celebrating. And she was talking about,
- 28:13Speaker 21: you know, just taking a chance on herself as a
- 28:16Speaker 21: debut artist and what that produced for her, regardless of
- 28:18Speaker 21: any of the commons.
- 28:21Speaker 7: I remember correctly, I look at Torn like I look
- 28:23Speaker 7: at when I see Fantasy.
- 28:25Speaker 21: Yeah, it was like, yeah, it's like something you could
- 28:27Speaker 21: play regardless of how old it is, and it still
- 28:29Speaker 21: does well. And then the rest of that clip, I
- 28:31Speaker 21: don't know why we just didn't like keep it there.
- 28:33Speaker 21: But she doesn't further explain.
- 28:35Speaker 3: She just talks.
- 28:35Speaker 21: She changes the subject back, and she talks about how
- 28:38Speaker 21: the twenty years, she's just glad to be in a
- 28:39Speaker 21: better place because there had always been the conversations about
- 28:42Speaker 21: what did and didn't happen for her and like the
- 28:44Speaker 21: other girls who didn't stay a part of Destiny's Child. So,
- 28:47Speaker 21: but congratulations on your twenty years. She's been celebrating that
- 28:50Speaker 21: all week.
- 28:50Speaker 8: All right, well that is the latest with Lauren. Now

- 29:10Speaker 11: Good morning? Good morning?
- 29:11Speaker 10: Okay, So we start this hour or yeah, this hour
- 29:14Speaker 10: with more than fifty million people across Northwest they are
- 29:18Speaker 10: under flood alerts as powerful storms are bringing heavy wind,
- 29:21Speaker 10: damaging winds, excuse me, heavy rain and damaging winds and
- 29:26Speaker 10: life threatening flash flooding.
- 29:27Speaker 11: How is it where you guys are right now?
- 29:29Speaker 8: It was nasty yesterday and they're talking about it's going
- 29:31Speaker 8: to be the worst today. There's a lot of a
- 29:33Speaker 8: lot of rain, a lot of flooding. In to me,
- 29:36Speaker 8: the last couple of years, it just seems like it's
- 29:37Speaker 8: getting worse, worse.
- 29:38Speaker 3: It looks so gloomy.
- 29:40Speaker 4: He just thinn't called climate change. No, that's the thing, right,
- 29:42Speaker 4: But you know, when I'm coming from the South. When
- 29:44Speaker 4: it's thunderstorms, that's what happens. Everything gets dark and black.
- 29:48Speaker 4: The thing that'd be confusing me is when it be
- 29:50Speaker 4: dark in one area and then you still see the
- 29:52Speaker 4: sun in the other. That's when I'm like, Okay, the
- 29:54Speaker 4: weather machine broke. They don't even know what to do
- 29:56Speaker 4: no more.
- 29:58Speaker 10: Well the storm, Yeah, the storm has already disrupted travel
- 30:02Speaker 10: at major airports, especially they're in New York, Newark, and Philadelphia.
- 30:06Speaker 10: Delays and cancelations they were. They happened yesterday and there
- 30:10Speaker 10: are a lot expected even more today. Hear what stranded
- 30:13Speaker 10: passengers though, we're saying yesterday in Labardia and Philadelphia.
- 30:18Speaker 6: So I'm feeling frustrated.
- 30:19Speaker 15: I'm feeling just a little bit.
- 30:21Speaker 6: We're stuck here. Literally. I needed to go home and
- 30:24Speaker 6: go to work. I want to go back to Ironwood.
- 30:25Speaker 6: I'm probably gonna sit here to tomorrow.
- 30:27Speaker 27: Do the weather Hurricane Morning to Trade awarding flight was canceled.
- 30:32Speaker 27: It was the last flight of the day too, so
- 30:34Speaker 27: we have like nowhere to go. We're all like extremely tired.
- 30:39Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing you can do in those situations.
- 30:42Speaker 4: I mean, when mother and nature does what it does,
- 30:44Speaker 4: it's an act of God, like you just can't do
- 30:46Speaker 4: nothing but be patient and nothing you can do.
- 30:48Speaker 8: And the sad part about it is if it's an
- 30:50Speaker 8: act of God, the hold the airports. The airlines don't
- 30:53Speaker 8: have to give you a hotel. So sometimes people just
- 30:55Speaker 8: got to stay styn eight.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Nine outs at the airport.
- 30:59Speaker 6: Yeah, yell at the airlines. You can yell at the
- 31:01Speaker 6: people that work at the airlines.
- 31:02Speaker 4: There's nothing they can do it and start flapping their wings,
- 31:06Speaker 4: flapping their on get you and they need to go, like,
- 31:07Speaker 4: you can't do it, is nothing.
- 31:08Speaker 5: You can do.
- 31:10Speaker 10: Yeah, there's absolutely nothing you can do but wait it out.
- 31:13Speaker 10: And in New York City, officials are urging people who
- 31:15Speaker 10: live in basement apartments or neighborhoods that have flooded before
- 31:18Speaker 10: to prepare now. So Mayor Zeron Mondani he is telling
- 31:22Speaker 10: residents to pack her to go back with medications, important documents, flashlights, batteries,
- 31:28Speaker 10: and phone chargers. He's also warning that the dangerous flash
- 31:31Speaker 10: flooding can develop quickly and so the city is opening
- 31:34Speaker 10: emergency shelters for anyone who doesn't feel safe us staying
- 31:38Speaker 10: at home while this storm passes through. So, uh, just
- 31:42Speaker 10: some information there about that So.
- 31:44Speaker 4: What what kind of infrastructure changes need to be made
- 31:46Speaker 4: to make sure that the flash flooding doesn't happen like that?
- 31:49Speaker 8: And he says, I've been saying that for years because
- 31:51Speaker 8: it's the same places that are flooding, the same areas
- 31:54Speaker 8: of flooding. It's not like, oh, it's a different area now,
- 31:56Speaker 8: it's the same areas that you know, they get flooded
- 31:58Speaker 8: or go get flooded, like in New York, Jersey's always
- 32:00Speaker 8: Jersey City flooded, parts of Brooklyn flooded like we see
- 32:03Speaker 8: it because.
- 32:03Speaker 3: It's like dips in the city.
- 32:05Speaker 6: Yeah, but like you said, you have changed the infrastructure
- 32:07Speaker 6: a long time ago, fixed it. I mean we all
- 32:10Speaker 6: paying taxes.
- 32:11Speaker 16: Yeah. Yeah.
- 32:13Speaker 10: And now to a major legal settlement that could mark
- 32:16Speaker 10: the end of one of the biggest consumer product.
- 32:18Speaker 11: Lawsuits in US history.
- 32:20Speaker 10: So, after more than a decade of legal battles, three
- 32:23Speaker 10: failed bankruptcy attempts to solve the claims, Johnson and Johnson
- 32:27Speaker 10: has agreed to pay five point five billion dollars to
- 32:30Speaker 10: settle about seventy six thousand lawsuits alleging that it's talk
- 32:34Speaker 10: based baby powder and other talk products caused ovarian cancer.
- 32:39Speaker 11: So for decades.
- 32:40Speaker 10: Baby powder has been a household staple for millions of Americans,
- 32:44Speaker 10: but thousands of women's women They sued, later claiming that
- 32:48Speaker 10: the use of the product led to ovarian cancer. Johnson
- 32:51Speaker 10: and Johnson has denied those allegations, maintaining that its products
- 32:56Speaker 10: are safe and they do not contain asbestos. But the settlement,
- 33:02Speaker 10: they say, is not in a mission of wrongdoing. But
- 33:04Speaker 10: the company did stop selling that talk based baby powder
- 33:07Speaker 10: in twenty twenty and they replace it with corn starch version.
- 33:11Speaker 10: But the post settlement will all people who are who
- 33:15Speaker 10: are suing them. So those ninety five what did I say,
- 33:17Speaker 10: They say, ninety five thousand, seventy.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Six thousand lawduits.
- 33:21Speaker 10: All of those people ninety five percent have to agree
- 33:24Speaker 10: that they'll take the settlement.
- 33:26Speaker 11: Before it becomes final.
- 33:27Speaker 10: But it's been a big thing since I've been growing up.
- 33:29Speaker 10: I've been hearing about this. What about you guys is Johnson.
- 33:32Speaker 7: And showing up And yes that's what we you know,
- 33:36Speaker 7: lived by when we were younger, you know. But yeah,
- 33:40Speaker 7: we've been heard about the h the powder.
- 33:43Speaker 6: What are we supposed to do?
- 33:44Speaker 4: Like, like, at some point they just need to say
- 33:46Speaker 4: waking up and living causes cancer.
- 33:48Speaker 6: Yeh, Like like, what doesn't cause cancer?
- 33:50Speaker 16: Now?
- 33:50Speaker 6: D yeah, we breathe every.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Single thing we do, it seems linked to some type
- 33:56Speaker 4: of cancer. Like what are we supposed to do? Yeah?
- 33:58Speaker 3: True?
- 33:59Speaker 10: Well, this low running story, it should be now coming
- 34:03Speaker 10: to an n I know for a long time. You know,
- 34:05Speaker 10: you've seen those commercials in the middle of that. I
- 34:07Speaker 10: call this one eight hundred number. So Johnson and Johnson
- 34:11Speaker 10: is now settling that, and.
- 34:13Speaker 11: I think that is it.
- 34:14Speaker 10: Tomorrow, I'm going to talk about this influencer story because
- 34:17Speaker 10: I really want you guys.
- 34:18Speaker 11: I want to hear what you guys have to say
- 34:20Speaker 11: about it. It's deeper than.
- 34:21Speaker 10: Just being an influencer, and I want to get to
- 34:23Speaker 10: some of the courses that people are going to take
- 34:26Speaker 10: at this school.
- 34:27Speaker 11: So we'll talk about that tomorrow.
- 34:28Speaker 6: All right, all right, thank you, me me, thank you.
- 34:32Speaker 8: Now when we come back, Rashad Robinson will be joining us.
- 34:35Speaker 8: He has a new book, from Presence to Power, how
- 34:37Speaker 8: to take on the fights that matter and win.
- 34:40Speaker 4: Yes, a lot of y'all, especially on social media, think
- 34:42Speaker 4: your presence on social media equates the real power. It
- 34:45Speaker 4: does not, Okay, But Rashad will be here to talk
- 34:48Speaker 4: to you about it. His book is incredible.
- 34:49Speaker 6: All right, we'll talk to him. Nexus to Breakfast Club.
- 34:51Speaker 6: Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Jesse, Hilarius, Charlamage the guy.
- 34:56Speaker 6: We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
- 34:58Speaker 6: in the Villainy. Yes, indeed, Robinson. Welcome brother, thanks for
- 35:02Speaker 6: having me.
- 35:02Speaker 5: Good morning.
- 35:03Speaker 6: How are you feeling good?
- 35:04Speaker 5: I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good.
- 35:06Speaker 6: Yes, this book Man, From Presence to Power.
- 35:09Speaker 4: I got hit to it because I was listening to
- 35:10Speaker 4: the Native Lampard with Angela Rojas and I loved what
- 35:13Speaker 4: you was talking about, so it made me dive into it.
- 35:15Speaker 4: I love the title right from Presence to Power. And
- 35:18Speaker 4: you say that we black people confuse presence with power.
- 35:22Speaker 6: Can you explain it?
- 35:23Speaker 22: Yeah, Presence is visibility, awareness, It's all the things that
- 35:27Speaker 22: gets incentivized in this moment, everything from you know, followership, numbers,
- 35:32Speaker 22: shout outs from the stage. Power is the ability to
- 35:35Speaker 22: change the rules. And when you mistake presence for power,
- 35:38Speaker 22: you can think something has happened that hasn't actually happened.
- 35:41Speaker 22: You can mistake a black president for thinking that you know,
- 35:44Speaker 22: we're post racial. You can mistake our celebrities trending for
- 35:50Speaker 22: the idea that you know, America loves black people as
- 35:53Speaker 22: much as America loves black culture. And what we know
- 35:55Speaker 22: is that America can love, celebrate, and monetize black culture
- 35:59Speaker 22: and hate black people at the same time.
- 36:01Speaker 8: So for people that don't know who Rashard Robinson is,
- 36:03Speaker 8: break down who you are first before you diving into
- 36:06Speaker 8: the book.
- 36:06Speaker 6: Who is Rashard Robinson? Where are you from? And then
- 36:09Speaker 6: let's talk about how you got into writing this book.
- 36:11Speaker 5: Well, for the last twenty years, I've been building movements.
- 36:14Speaker 22: I've been working across the social justice space to help
- 36:17Speaker 22: win change on a wide range of issues. I grew
- 36:20Speaker 22: up on eastern Long Island, the last excellent Long Island
- 36:23Speaker 22: Expressway Riverhead, and my family got there.
- 36:26Speaker 6: Through the big directionships out there.
- 36:27Speaker 5: Yeah, but my family's like working class.
- 36:29Speaker 22: We got there through the great migration the farm fields
- 36:31Speaker 22: of like southern Virginia to the farm fields of Long Island.
- 36:34Speaker 22: And I grew up there where you have to understand
- 36:38Speaker 22: power because just to get anything done, you were black
- 36:42Speaker 22: in a largely white community, and very early on I
- 36:45Speaker 22: had to navigate what it meant to live in a
- 36:47Speaker 22: world that was not designed for me to win, and
- 36:50Speaker 22: I've translated that into the work I do every day,
- 36:53Speaker 22: and whether it's working across criminal justice or voting rights
- 36:57Speaker 22: or economic justice. I've won a lot of campaigns and
- 37:00Speaker 22: we've lost along the way. I've recognized that part of
- 37:04Speaker 22: the reason why we lose is that we don't recognize
- 37:07Speaker 22: the role of power, and we mistake a lot of
- 37:10Speaker 22: things that we've achieved a lot of recognition for the
- 37:14Speaker 22: ability to actually shift the incentives, to shift the rules.
- 37:17Speaker 22: And that's what this intervention is about. That's what this
- 37:20Speaker 22: book is about. And my hope is that with it
- 37:24Speaker 22: and with the tools inside of it, that it will
- 37:26Speaker 22: be applicable for everyday people who just want to find
- 37:29Speaker 22: their power in this moment, whether you're fighting a book
- 37:32Speaker 22: band in your community, or whether you want to get
- 37:34Speaker 22: involved in shaping Congress.
- 37:36Speaker 4: You know, I'd love to hold from presidence of power concept,
- 37:39Speaker 4: and I feel that often on social media, like you said,
- 37:42Speaker 4: you know, I guess some people would call it, you know,
- 37:43Speaker 4: Twitter activism. But just because you're viral and have a
- 37:46Speaker 4: presence on social media doesn't mean.
- 37:48Speaker 6: It's actual power.
- 37:49Speaker 4: Right, So what's the biggest mistake people make by confusing
- 37:54Speaker 4: representation with actual power.
- 37:56Speaker 22: We end up not winning real things, or we think
- 38:00Speaker 22: we've won something and we can't hold onto it.
- 38:03Speaker 5: It slips away very quickly.
- 38:05Speaker 22: And so the idea of sort of going viral on
- 38:10Speaker 22: platforms that we don't own, designed by people who actually
- 38:14Speaker 22: don't want us to win in the first place, is
- 38:16Speaker 22: already a setup. There are not rules to these platforms, right.
- 38:20Speaker 22: Our cars are not safe because the auto industry is benevolent.
- 38:24Speaker 22: They are safe because there are rules and regulation that
- 38:26Speaker 22: people have won over time. When you go into the
- 38:28Speaker 22: supermarket and you look at the back of a label
- 38:32Speaker 22: of a food product, you see a whole bunch of
- 38:35Speaker 22: things on it that are result of people fighting and winning.
- 38:38Speaker 22: And so we don't even have rules on social media
- 38:40Speaker 22: about how these platforms are designed. And as someone who's
- 38:43Speaker 22: fought these platforms and also tried to fight for regulation,
- 38:46Speaker 22: I know that there are designed for us to stay
- 38:49Speaker 22: on there and fight amongst each other.
- 38:51Speaker 5: They are designed.
- 38:52Speaker 22: You know, when I testified in front of Congress about
- 38:55Speaker 22: you know, social media platforms, I testify next to the
- 38:58Speaker 22: Facebook whistleblower who had all these papers about the ways
- 39:03Speaker 22: in which they've set up the algorithms to keep you fighting.
- 39:06Speaker 22: They monetize it because they can place ads next to it,
- 39:10Speaker 22: if we stay on longer, if we share more, and
- 39:13Speaker 22: so it is by design, and so you know, you
- 39:15Speaker 22: may think that you're making a little bit of money,
- 39:18Speaker 22: you may think that you're going viral, but over time,
- 39:21Speaker 22: they're going to change the algorithm. The minute that we
- 39:23Speaker 22: get a little bit of progress, they're going to change
- 39:25Speaker 22: the system. And so what I want to do is
- 39:28Speaker 22: I want to help us begin thinking about how we
- 39:31Speaker 22: change the environment. And that's not just about corporations, that's
- 39:34Speaker 22: also about the Democratic party right. I watched the right
- 39:37Speaker 22: wing change how their politicians have to operate, change the
- 39:42Speaker 22: incentive structure. And so I'm not here to say we
- 39:46Speaker 22: vote just because or we follow just because. I'm saying
- 39:50Speaker 22: we have to change the air and the water for
- 39:52Speaker 22: the politicians. And that looks like what the right wing
- 39:55Speaker 22: has done. They wear their caps and they wear their jerseys.
- 39:58Speaker 22: You go into the gym and they will turn change
- 40:01Speaker 22: the channel to Fox News. They have created an incentive
- 40:05Speaker 22: where their politicians have to follow them, and I think
- 40:08Speaker 22: we have to do some of that as well, because
- 40:11Speaker 22: we're not going to be led by those that are
- 40:13Speaker 22: currently in office.
- 40:15Speaker 6: Is power morally neutral?
- 40:17Speaker 22: No, power is not morally neutral. And the you know,
- 40:21Speaker 22: there are all different types of power. But you know,
- 40:24Speaker 22: when I think about sort of the work to both
- 40:28Speaker 22: understand power, build power, and then practice power, it absolutely
- 40:34Speaker 22: isn't morally neutral. I mean, we watch, we look at
- 40:36Speaker 22: what Donald Trump is doing right now, and that looks
- 40:41Speaker 22: very different than people that we might put in office.
- 40:44Speaker 22: But I think could right hand be good? Absolutely? Absolutely,
- 40:49Speaker 22: that's what we want, right, That's what we want. I mean,
- 40:51Speaker 22: we want power. Like the fact of the matter is
- 40:54Speaker 22: is that we should strive to have the type of
- 40:58Speaker 22: power that changes rules, that changes the incentive structure of
- 41:00Speaker 22: the criminal justice system, that changes how banks operate, that
- 41:04Speaker 22: changes how things And we've won things over time, and
- 41:08Speaker 22: then we can sometimes lose them or we can sometimes
- 41:10Speaker 22: have backlash. The backlash that we're experiencing right now is
- 41:14Speaker 22: a direct result of what we've want. We want a
- 41:17Speaker 22: lot of things over the course of twenty seventeen, twenty
- 41:20Speaker 22: sixteen into twenty twenty and now we're experiencing backlash.
- 41:23Speaker 6: And what do we want? That power?
- 41:25Speaker 11: Right?
- 41:26Speaker 6: We talk about it, but do we really want it? Right?
- 41:29Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you, we say we want it.
- 41:31Speaker 12: Right.
- 41:31Speaker 8: We talk about the social media app, right, and you
- 41:33Speaker 8: just talk about the app that we're all on that
- 41:35Speaker 8: we don't own, that's not designed for us. There's a
- 41:37Speaker 8: brother that owns the social media app, and we don't
- 41:40Speaker 8: support a lot of us well we do, a lot
- 41:42Speaker 8: of us do, but the community doesn't support it like
- 41:45Speaker 8: we support these other apps, Facebook or Instagram or x.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Right.
- 41:48Speaker 6: You look at HBCUs. We do support them, but we don't.
- 41:51Speaker 8: Go all out for our HBCUs like they go out
- 41:53Speaker 8: for all these other schools out there. We say we
- 41:56Speaker 8: want it, but when it comes to somebody in our
- 41:58Speaker 8: community that designs.
- 41:59Speaker 6: It, i'bout forced to follow.
- 42:01Speaker 22: And to support absolutely, I mean, and that's also by
- 42:04Speaker 22: design we live. We live in a in a in
- 42:08Speaker 22: a society that does send us constant messages to you know,
- 42:12Speaker 22: perhaps not support one another, to fight amongst each other.
- 42:17Speaker 22: Part of what I've done with this book and try
- 42:19Speaker 22: to do with this book is there's nine exercises at
- 42:21Speaker 22: the end of the chapters because there's a lot of
- 42:24Speaker 22: theory and there's some definitions, but I wanted everyone at
- 42:28Speaker 22: the end of it to be able to do something
- 42:30Speaker 22: that I talk about is find your power. So it's
- 42:32Speaker 22: about finding your power in the singular and through those
- 42:35Speaker 22: you can take the exercises and really sort of dig
- 42:38Speaker 22: into sort of what do I what do I have
- 42:41Speaker 22: at my disposal? What am I not using? What am
- 42:44Speaker 22: I not sort of leaning into? And then how do
- 42:47Speaker 22: I find my power in the plural, how do I
- 42:49Speaker 22: sort of understand my people find my people? And I
- 42:54Speaker 22: do want us to ask those questions and dig into
- 42:57Speaker 22: those questions, perhaps about what am I not supporting, what
- 43:01Speaker 22: am I not leaning into? How do I engage differently,
- 43:04Speaker 22: We don't need everyone for the march, the civil rights movement,
- 43:08Speaker 22: not everyone mark, not everyone engaged. We need enough of
- 43:11Speaker 22: the right people focused on enough of the right things
- 43:14Speaker 22: in order to actually make the type of change possible.
- 43:17Speaker 22: And when we win, that is reinforcing more people will follow,
- 43:21Speaker 22: more people will engage, And I think that is part
- 43:24Speaker 22: of I think the work of disrupting this current trend
- 43:27Speaker 22: that we're in, the current challenges that we're facing.
- 43:29Speaker 7: You talk about magical thinking, Yeah, you know what, break
- 43:33Speaker 7: that down.
- 43:33Speaker 22: Magical thinking is sort of the stories that we tell
- 43:36Speaker 22: ourselves that are not true. Like if you're not at
- 43:39Speaker 22: the table, you're on the menu, and you can be
- 43:41Speaker 22: both at the table and on the menu at the
- 43:43Speaker 22: same time. There are stories like the moral arc of
- 43:47Speaker 22: history bends towards justice, we actually have to bend it.
- 43:51Speaker 22: Donald Trump is a perfect example that it doesn't just bend.
- 43:54Speaker 22: It's not automatically. Progress doesn't automatically happen. But there are
- 43:58Speaker 22: all these stories that were almost in devised to believe
- 44:01Speaker 22: that can sometimes, you know, keep us tired or relaxed
- 44:06Speaker 22: or not sort of on our front foot about what
- 44:09Speaker 22: is happening in the world. And magical thinking is part
- 44:13Speaker 22: of one of the reasons why I wrote this book
- 44:15Speaker 22: because after the twenty sixteen election, I was going to
- 44:18Speaker 22: all these meetings and watching people act like they did
- 44:21Speaker 22: not just get surprised by a Trump victory and were
- 44:24Speaker 22: acting like they knew what to do now that he
- 44:26Speaker 22: was in office. And I was watching people walk into
- 44:29Speaker 22: the Trump election like it was George W. Bush three
- 44:33Speaker 22: point zero, designing what they were going to do next,
- 44:35Speaker 22: not thinking that we were walking into authoritarian regime. And
- 44:39Speaker 22: many of the people who lost really badly were trying
- 44:42Speaker 22: to then show up as the resistance. And I and
- 44:45Speaker 22: even watching going to the Obama White House as they
- 44:48Speaker 22: were sort of wrapping up going to meetings about criminal justice,
- 44:51Speaker 22: and they were celebrating things that they were just announcing,
- 44:54Speaker 22: and I was like, Jeff Sessions is about to become
- 44:57Speaker 22: the Attorney general.
- 44:59Speaker 5: How is any of this safe? And they were like, well,
- 45:01Speaker 5: we've made the type of culture.
- 45:03Speaker 22: Change, We've changed things, and they actually obviously didn't. And
- 45:07Speaker 22: so going to those meetings, going to meetings with Chuck
- 45:10Speaker 22: Schumer and Senator Schumer and having him say to me
- 45:14Speaker 22: and other activists, don't worry about Jeff Sessions becoming Attorney general.
- 45:19Speaker 5: I can work with him. We work out together in
- 45:21Speaker 5: the gym. Right.
- 45:24Speaker 22: Those were the things that we were hearing, and it
- 45:26Speaker 22: was just one more recognition that we needed to not
- 45:30Speaker 22: just run campaigns. And over those years I ran campaigns.
- 45:33Speaker 22: I led the largest boycott in American history, taking on Facebook.
- 45:38Speaker 22: I led campaigns to force credit card companies to stop
- 45:41Speaker 22: processing fees for white nationalist groups. But if we but
- 45:45Speaker 22: we actually had to change some of the ways that
- 45:47Speaker 22: people think about power. And the goal here is to
- 45:51Speaker 22: make that intervention in ways that people can understand and
- 45:53Speaker 22: people can use. And whether you're just just starting out
- 45:58Speaker 22: just wondering what you can do, or whether you're a
- 45:59Speaker 22: season activists, I think there's something in here for everyone.
- 46:03Speaker 21: Do you think in twenty twenty six, with all of
- 46:04Speaker 21: the performative stuff that you see in activism, we actually
- 46:07Speaker 21: have the leaders that will make the real change you're
- 46:11Speaker 21: talking about and not just get stuck in a performative
- 46:13Speaker 21: like in a real.
- 46:14Speaker 22: Way, I think part of what we have to recognize
- 46:18Speaker 22: is that we need more people on the playing field.
- 46:20Speaker 22: This cannot be about expecting some leader, individual leader, an
- 46:24Speaker 22: elected leader to show up. What I hope is that
- 46:27Speaker 22: more people recognize their role to play and their role
- 46:31Speaker 22: in pushing back, and more people have the tools to
- 46:34Speaker 22: you know, understand the difference between what's real and what's fake.
- 46:37Speaker 22: And my goal is to try to unlock that for folks,
- 46:40Speaker 22: because I think if we're waiting for an elected leader
- 46:42Speaker 22: to come and save us, you know, it's just not
- 46:46Speaker 22: going to happen. And what I've seen on the right
- 46:48Speaker 22: is that over the last you know, ten to fifteen years,
- 46:50Speaker 22: they have forced their elected leaders to have to change.
- 46:53Speaker 22: They've you know, taken people out, made people actually have
- 46:58Speaker 22: to change. And what we've watched is politicians who were
- 47:02Speaker 22: once considered perhaps institutionalists, like they would follow. The rules
- 47:07Speaker 22: have to bend and change, you know, things that were
- 47:11Speaker 22: once kind of sacred insider rules. They've changed and they've shaped,
- 47:16Speaker 22: but they've shaped it as a result of the people
- 47:19Speaker 22: on their side expecting something different. And so I think
- 47:23Speaker 22: for us, particularly for black people, we have to demand
- 47:26Speaker 22: something different from our elected leaders. And I'm not just
- 47:29Speaker 22: talking I'm talking about the leaders that look like us
- 47:31Speaker 22: and the leaders that don't look like us. But if
- 47:33Speaker 22: you come to our community and ask for our vote,
- 47:35Speaker 22: we have to expect you to do something different and
- 47:38Speaker 22: we have to expect you to engage differently. And I
- 47:40Speaker 22: think that that is going to be part of the
- 47:41Speaker 22: work moving forward if we're going to get anything different
- 47:44Speaker 22: out of our politicians.
- 47:44Speaker 8: Now, how do you feel about Well, you look at
- 47:46Speaker 8: let's say Donald Trump, how he uses his power right now.
- 47:49Speaker 6: He uses his in a negative way, But he uses
- 47:51Speaker 6: his power.
- 47:52Speaker 8: I feel like, regardless who's in office, we never use
- 47:55Speaker 8: our power the way he uses his.
- 47:57Speaker 6: He's going to take care of home, He's going to
- 47:58Speaker 6: take care of ours.
- 47:59Speaker 8: I feel like we have to beg for that, beg
- 48:02Speaker 8: for somebody to say this isn't right. Beg because I
- 48:04Speaker 8: think we a lot of times, look at that's not right.
- 48:08Speaker 8: What are they gonna think? We need this first date
- 48:10Speaker 8: signing and throwing pins in the stands. We have a
- 48:13Speaker 8: lot we played by. We play by an old set
- 48:16Speaker 8: of rules that were not designed for us to win.
- 48:19Speaker 8: And I think Donald Trump has proven that you can
- 48:21Speaker 8: disrupt those rules. I remember back during the Obama administration,
- 48:25Speaker 8: I was working with a group of formally incarcerated leaders
- 48:27Speaker 8: and we were working to ban the box, the box
- 48:30Speaker 8: that gets yeah you have to check for employment that
- 48:33Speaker 8: says were you incarcerated or not? And if you check
- 48:36Speaker 8: the box that you've been incarcerated, you don't get the job.
- 48:39Speaker 22: If you lie, you get the job. And then a
- 48:42Speaker 22: month later they find out. And so these leaders, we
- 48:46Speaker 22: we built this campaign. We had tens of thousands of
- 48:49Speaker 22: people signed petitions. We show up to the White House.
- 48:51Speaker 22: We are out in front of the White House with
- 48:52Speaker 22: the petitions, and we did not have a meeting at
- 48:55Speaker 22: the White House, but they called and they said we
- 48:57Speaker 22: want to We want you guys to come in. And
- 48:59Speaker 22: then they said we you were shot to come in.
- 49:01Speaker 22: And I was like, I'm not the leader of this effort.
- 49:04Speaker 22: I'm just the person that helped build the technology and
- 49:07Speaker 22: the petition. But these folks have been working on this
- 49:09Speaker 22: campaign for you. Well, we can't clear them to come
- 49:12Speaker 22: into the White House because they are formally incarcerated. And
- 49:16Speaker 22: I said, well, I won't go into the meeting. And
- 49:20Speaker 22: they said, well, we are gonna will we tell people, Well,
- 49:22Speaker 22: tell people that you've.
- 49:23Speaker 5: Decided not to go into a meeting at the White House.
- 49:25Speaker 22: I said, well, I will be on the Amtrak back
- 49:28Speaker 22: to New York this afternoon, one way or the other.
- 49:32Speaker 22: And they found a way, with all the rules that
- 49:34Speaker 22: they said they couldn't, they found a way to invite
- 49:37Speaker 22: the leaders in. Folks like Norris Henderson and others went
- 49:41Speaker 22: into that meeting. They told stories to Valerie Jarre and
- 49:44Speaker 22: others around what it meant to be denied the ability
- 49:49Speaker 22: to take care of their families. They told very clear,
- 49:52Speaker 22: compelling stories. I was not in the room. I was
- 49:54Speaker 22: on the train like I said I was going to be.
- 49:57Speaker 22: And in forty eight hours later, they put a executive
- 50:00Speaker 22: order out to ban to deal with that issue at
- 50:04Speaker 22: the federal level. But had we just played by the rules,
- 50:08Speaker 22: had I went in that meeting, there's no way in
- 50:09Speaker 22: the world I would have told is compelling of a story.
- 50:12Speaker 22: It would have been a performative act of a professional
- 50:14Speaker 22: activist going in instead, so over and over again, what
- 50:18Speaker 22: I've learned is that you don't take the first offer.
- 50:22Speaker 22: You push back. If you want to change the rules,
- 50:24Speaker 22: then you have to make a different type of demand.
- 50:27Speaker 22: And I do think that if we are going to
- 50:31Speaker 22: not just be present, but be powerful, then we have
- 50:33Speaker 22: to sort of recognize that rules are oftentimes designed for
- 50:37Speaker 22: us to lose. And part of it is that we
- 50:38Speaker 22: have to change those rules.
- 50:40Speaker 6: Algorithms right, they shape attention.
- 50:42Speaker 4: Now are social media companies the most powerful I want
- 50:46Speaker 4: to say political institution, but just institution in America that
- 50:48Speaker 4: nobody voted for.
- 50:49Speaker 22: I mean, the technology that can bring us into the
- 50:52Speaker 22: future is dragging us into the past. I look at
- 50:55Speaker 22: all of the ways in which the technology you think
- 50:59Speaker 22: about AI and algorithms that can decide whether or not
- 51:04Speaker 22: you get to rent an apartment, can decide whether or
- 51:06Speaker 22: not you get a callback for a job, and these
- 51:11Speaker 22: by design, can get around all the civil rights laws
- 51:14Speaker 22: that we've fought for. The lack of regulation on these
- 51:18Speaker 22: platforms has to absolutely change. And this is a problem
- 51:23Speaker 22: that we face by both Democrats and Republicans. I have
- 51:27Speaker 22: been in the room when Democrats could have moved legislation
- 51:30Speaker 22: forward and they didn't. We are in a time right
- 51:34Speaker 22: now where we did not get regulation during the sort
- 51:38Speaker 22: of rise of the social media age, right and people said, oh, well,
- 51:41Speaker 22: helped get Obama elected. It gave us Arab Spring, it
- 51:44Speaker 22: gave us all these moments. And then we saw the
- 51:47Speaker 22: ways in which the technology was used in the twenty
- 51:50Speaker 22: sixteen election. We saw a foreign interference. We saw all
- 51:53Speaker 22: the ways that we've talked about earlier around how the
- 51:56Speaker 22: algorithms incentivize people to sort of be their worst selves.
- 52:03Speaker 6: The cloud capital is conflict.
- 52:05Speaker 22: It's conflict and and fry. You know, sometimes people will respond, oh,
- 52:10Speaker 22: this is about freedom of speech, but tech companies are
- 52:13Speaker 22: deciding what gets amplified. This is not freedom of speech.
- 52:16Speaker 22: This is about what they decide to push forward. And
- 52:20Speaker 22: so during sort of the height of some of that
- 52:23Speaker 22: work back in twenty seventeen through sort of twenty twenty
- 52:27Speaker 22: twenty one, I was running campaigns against Facebook, trying to
- 52:31Speaker 22: take them on and some of the other platforms, and
- 52:33Speaker 22: we were winning some stuff along the way. We got
- 52:35Speaker 22: some we got some victories. We called for a civil
- 52:38Speaker 22: rights audit. We got a civil rights audit at Facebook.
- 52:41Speaker 22: And you know what was really interesting is while that happened,
- 52:44Speaker 22: while we were sort of in these conversations, the New
- 52:47Speaker 22: York Times found out that Facebook could hire this PR
- 52:50Speaker 22: firm to attack me and the organization, and they were
- 52:52Speaker 22: training placing stories, you know, to try to undermine what
- 52:56Speaker 22: we were doing, even though they were saying that they
- 52:58Speaker 22: were coming to the table and good faith. That forced
- 53:01Speaker 22: Facebook to actually have to deal with us differently, and
- 53:04Speaker 22: so I ended up moving from talking to like senior
- 53:07Speaker 22: level folks to having to go directly to being conversation
- 53:10Speaker 22: with Mark Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg on a regular basis.
- 53:13Speaker 22: I remember the first time I went out to Menlo
- 53:15Speaker 22: Park to their offices, they wanted me to sign an
- 53:18Speaker 22: NDA and I was like, no, Like you all were
- 53:20Speaker 22: attacking us. So they gave me a big badge to
- 53:23Speaker 22: say that said no NDA on it and war no DA.
- 53:27Speaker 22: But I talk about in the book that I learned
- 53:29Speaker 22: very clearly the difference between being in a dialogue and
- 53:32Speaker 22: a negotiation. Your opponent wants to keep you on a dialogue.
- 53:36Speaker 22: They want to keep you talking. They want to say
- 53:38Speaker 22: we were talking to those black folks.
- 53:39Speaker 5: How often do.
- 53:40Speaker 22: You see that we had a meeting, it was a
- 53:42Speaker 22: constructive meeting. A dialogue is just their way of placating you,
- 53:46Speaker 22: It's their way of being presents. A negotiation is when
- 53:49Speaker 22: you have leverage, when they either want something from you
- 53:52Speaker 22: or want you to stop doing something. That's when you
- 53:54Speaker 22: have actual power. Now you may not win everything in
- 53:57Speaker 22: a negotiation, but that's when you are on the path
- 54:00Speaker 22: to change. And I think for all of us, we
- 54:02Speaker 22: have to look at our leaders and our organizations who
- 54:05Speaker 22: are representing us. Are they in constant dialogue or are
- 54:08Speaker 22: they in negotiation? Are we getting one hundred thousand dollars
- 54:12Speaker 22: check from an organization that's spending one hundred million dollars
- 54:15Speaker 22: to keep us down? Those are the type of questions
- 54:18Speaker 22: that allow us to recognize is something moving us in
- 54:21Speaker 22: the right direction or is something holding us back? And
- 54:24Speaker 22: I think far too often we are mistaking dialogues, conversations
- 54:28Speaker 22: with those that are not on our side for actual
- 54:31Speaker 22: negotiations where we have the leverage to change rules that
- 54:34Speaker 22: will make a difference.
- 54:35Speaker 4: And I know I keep going back to social media,
- 54:37Speaker 4: but it's because I feel like that's where we have
- 54:39Speaker 4: a large presence that we think is power, but.
- 54:43Speaker 6: It's actually not.
- 54:44Speaker 4: So I've been reading a lot about techno fudilism, yeah right,
- 54:48Speaker 4: and how the new ruling classes, these Algo bosses, the
- 54:52Speaker 4: musk and the Zuckerbergs and the sam Altmans, and we
- 54:54Speaker 4: know how they're using social media to misinform and disrupt
- 54:58Speaker 4: and consolidate power.
- 54:59Speaker 6: But yet we're still those platforms.
- 55:00Speaker 4: And a lot of times when I talk people abou
- 55:01Speaker 4: why there's still in those platforms, they say they feel
- 55:03Speaker 4: like that's where they can get their messaging out.
- 55:05Speaker 6: Right.
- 55:06Speaker 4: Can the same tools used to oppress also be used to.
- 55:09Speaker 6: Advance justice and get us pouted?
- 55:12Speaker 22: It depends on how we use it, right. You know,
- 55:15Speaker 22: television and movies were not designed for our liberation, but
- 55:20Speaker 22: there are ways in which certain types of content advance things.
- 55:24Speaker 22: I mean, you think about Birth of a Nation, which
- 55:26Speaker 22: was one of the first movies, and right, and so
- 55:29Speaker 22: you have.
- 55:30Speaker 5: You there's a history on all these platforms.
- 55:33Speaker 22: So I think it's not being fool to think that
- 55:36Speaker 22: by these by that the design of these platforms alone
- 55:39Speaker 22: is going to produce sort of justice. It's recognizing how
- 55:42Speaker 22: we're using them and how they are using us. And
- 55:46Speaker 22: you know, I met with Elon Musk right after he
- 55:49Speaker 22: bought then Twitter, and you know there was all this
- 55:52Speaker 22: talk right black Twitter. You know, we had helped to
- 55:55Speaker 22: make this company profitable, and all along the way, we
- 55:58Speaker 22: had been winning changes at the platform, content moderation, other
- 56:03Speaker 22: things that were heading into the twenty twenty two election.
- 56:06Speaker 22: And then I had to sit in this meeting with
- 56:08Speaker 22: this you know, you know, white South African who I
- 56:11Speaker 22: think I've never heard him talk about what he feels
- 56:13Speaker 22: about Mendela or Desmond Tutu or anyone else, which only
- 56:18Speaker 22: makes you think, no, what he actually thinks about them,
- 56:20Speaker 22: because any white South African would probably tell a black
- 56:23Speaker 22: person I was with Mendela, and so you know that
- 56:27Speaker 22: this person he's talking about how he wants to make
- 56:29Speaker 22: Twitter fun again, He's talking about how he wants to
- 56:32Speaker 22: make it a public square. All of that, for me
- 56:35Speaker 22: was coded language from this sort of South African. Had
- 56:38Speaker 22: we won regulation, had we won rules, government rules, structural rules,
- 56:43Speaker 22: all of that would have looked much different. And so
- 56:46Speaker 22: I am not interested in sort of begging billionaires or
- 56:48Speaker 22: begging tech giants to treat us well. I think we
- 56:52Speaker 22: actually have to build more power over our elected eleaders,
- 56:55Speaker 22: and our elected officials create a world of consequence if
- 56:59Speaker 22: they don't do it, because I do know had we
- 57:01Speaker 22: been able to create more consequence for the elected officials
- 57:05Speaker 22: that did not get us regulation, we would have gotten
- 57:07Speaker 22: regulation and rules. And part of what I recognize in
- 57:11Speaker 22: all of this is that we have to operate differently
- 57:13Speaker 22: if we want different things.
- 57:14Speaker 6: From presidents of power. I could sit here with a
- 57:17Speaker 6: million more questions.
- 57:18Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely will pick up's book if you're out and
- 57:20Speaker 8: about today. Rashad Robinson, thank you for joining us this

- 1:00:59Speaker 3: So there was news that.
- 1:01:00Speaker 21: Yeah, there was news that broke that the w NBA
- 1:01:03Speaker 21: All Star Game in Chicago shattered attendance records with nineteen thousand,
- 1:01:07Speaker 21: seven hundred and eighty three fans in attendance and go
- 1:01:12Speaker 21: out like that's.
- 1:01:12Speaker 7: Why it was all like goddamn trafficgainst Chicago and I
- 1:01:15Speaker 7: had shows over the weekend.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: It was crazy.
- 1:01:17Speaker 6: You knew that. Shut up.
- 1:01:20Speaker 21: The In comparison, they say that the NBA hosted a fifteen,
- 1:01:25Speaker 21: nine hundred and seventy three fans. You know, I am
- 1:01:28Speaker 21: noting though that the w NBA tickets, I know, Reggie
- 1:01:31Speaker 21: pointed this out to me. Some of them start as
- 1:01:32Speaker 21: low as like US sixty dollars. But the attendance was
- 1:01:35Speaker 21: I mean, not the attendants. Yeah, the attendance was shattered.
- 1:01:37Speaker 21: And viewership and this has been a conversation for within
- 1:01:40Speaker 21: the season how well their viewership was doing, and how
- 1:01:42Speaker 21: this has been a big viewership year for the WNBA.
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: Why did they mention the ticket prices to say, the
- 1:01:47Speaker 6: ticket prices weren't that high.
- 1:01:49Speaker 21: Well, we were talking about it in the room, and
- 1:01:51Speaker 21: I think that Rad was just mentioning it because you know,
- 1:01:53Speaker 21: people's of the affordability of being able to purchase the tickets.
- 1:01:57Speaker 6: Affordable tickets do help, but there's a huge interest in
- 1:02:00Speaker 6: the w n b A.
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: W n b A.
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: W n B A puts out a great product.
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: So if you're putting out a great product and it's affordable,
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: of course people going to show up.
- 1:02:07Speaker 6: And w n B A got more star power than
- 1:02:09Speaker 6: it's ever.
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: Had, absolutely one hundred percent.
- 1:02:13Speaker 21: I think a lot of people too, are like it's
- 1:02:15Speaker 21: like on the court, but it's like off the court
- 1:02:17Speaker 21: as well too, Like I know people are like like
- 1:02:19Speaker 21: anything anger Reice does, so it's crazy.
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: I know, want to you don't want to.
- 1:02:24Speaker 6: Take that was that it was my my juice scribe
- 1:02:30Speaker 6: from the w n B A. The juice went down.
- 1:02:31Speaker 6: I was disgusted. Of course, you're doing that on purpose.
- 1:02:33Speaker 6: I did not continue, Lauren.
- 1:02:36Speaker 21: I was just saying that the girls are getting a
- 1:02:38Speaker 21: lot of love off the court as well too, like
- 1:02:40Speaker 21: their business ventures. Like we're always talking about things that
- 1:02:42Speaker 21: Aga Wilson is doing Angelice as well. I know a
- 1:02:44Speaker 21: lot of them have like their own podcasts and stuff
- 1:02:46Speaker 21: like that, so it's like a full.
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: Sleeping with each other. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna bring that one, but I saw that
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: there's a.
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: Lot of salaciousness going on. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: It's controversy. It's a lot of things that helped to
- 1:03:01Speaker 4: sell product.
- 1:03:03Speaker 21: Okay, it's everything it should be, Yes, everything it should be.
- 1:03:07Speaker 21: And that barbie that that angel dropped, the Bayou barbie
- 1:03:10Speaker 21: is what is the thing? Because of you know what
- 1:03:12Speaker 21: she calls herself. It did drop during last weekend when
- 1:03:15Speaker 21: Lebron James announced his announcement.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: So I heard you talking about that this morning to
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: show GRADU. But yeah, the barbie is there.
- 1:03:21Speaker 21: It's a signature doll, Yes, a signature doll, and they
- 1:03:26Speaker 21: are they're coining it as her latest example of her
- 1:03:29Speaker 21: impact beyond the w n B A.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: So congratulations, and it's with Mattel.
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: I wanted to call his call and say that you know, uh,
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: we didn't report on it, but also she hasn't heard
- 1:03:38Speaker 4: a lot about it. But it was literally because that
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: news dropped the same day that Lebron announced he was
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: going to the sixth.
- 1:03:44Speaker 8: So the sixth that dominated the headline. Well, not only that,
- 1:03:46Speaker 8: did you guys watch did you watch the again?
- 1:03:49Speaker 16: No?
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: No, I didn't watch it all.
- 1:03:51Speaker 21: I didn't see though, I will say over the weekend
- 1:03:54Speaker 21: it was I saw it all throughout the timeline, Like
- 1:03:56Speaker 21: I saw Angel Reese's outfit, I saw Gabrielle union and
- 1:03:59Speaker 21: I think recent them like doing like the selfies.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: I saw people there, but I didn't watch the into
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: the game.
- 1:04:05Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I also understand why he had it on
- 1:04:07Speaker 4: a Saturday night. They should have been on like a Sunday,
- 1:04:10Speaker 4: like like the NBA that also game comes on Sunday.
- 1:04:12Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: Yeah, because they did the Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday.
- 1:04:16Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 1:04:16Speaker 21: Well, the surge in all these numbers that we're talking
- 1:04:19Speaker 21: about is being credited to an increased investment in strategic
- 1:04:21Speaker 21: marketing around the w NBA, which I think they deserve.
- 1:04:24Speaker 6: So and the product is a great it's a great sport.
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: Well, I like watching women's basketball, preferably women's college basketball,
- 1:04:32Speaker 4: but because I've watched so many of those players in college,
- 1:04:35Speaker 4: I watched the w n.
- 1:04:36Speaker 6: B a now and it's a great product. The girls falling.
- 1:04:40Speaker 6: I'm watching the Fever and Storm last night.
- 1:04:42Speaker 21: Nice, I was gonna say, Charlatmage, Remember we had the
- 1:04:46Speaker 21: two young ladies that were being drafted on the Breakfast Club.
- 1:04:49Speaker 6: Yeah, Raven Johnson and Tania Tania, yes, Tenaya.
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:04:54Speaker 21: So I will say like, as I'm like learning w
- 1:04:57Speaker 21: n B A and things right, like starting with watching
- 1:05:00Speaker 21: and the girls from high school to college.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: Now listen to what I'm about to say.
- 1:05:04Speaker 21: I feel I feel like the investment starts in high
- 1:05:08Speaker 21: school and college, right, and then you watch them as
- 1:05:10Speaker 21: they go on into the w n B A.
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: But I'm learning, I'm learning that.
- 1:05:15Speaker 21: No, let me finish what I'm saying, y'all, like, because
- 1:05:18Speaker 21: I didn't watch the all circame. But what I was
- 1:05:20Speaker 21: going to say is that I feel like when you're
- 1:05:21Speaker 21: really invested your I give up.
- 1:05:24Speaker 6: No, we're just trying to figure out what's trying to say.
- 1:05:27Speaker 23: You all.
- 1:05:28Speaker 21: I was trying to say is that it's hard to
- 1:05:30Speaker 21: become a fan right when they get to the n B,
- 1:05:32Speaker 21: the w NB.
- 1:05:33Speaker 6: I'm just watching use the forty nine ers to see
- 1:05:36Speaker 6: Lebron play this year. Okay that.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: I know that Lebron playing for the sixers.
- 1:05:41Speaker 6: I get what you're saying. But that's not true.
- 1:05:42Speaker 4: You can watch a player as soon as they get
- 1:05:45Speaker 4: to the w NV Like like if you you you
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: never watched the Olivia Miles ever in college, but you
- 1:05:50Speaker 4: watched her in the w n b A, you would
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: be like, damn she getting visits.
- 1:05:54Speaker 8: Not only had a lot of people only watch the professional,
- 1:05:56Speaker 8: they don't watch college a lot of times.
- 1:05:57Speaker 6: They starting to get to college more and more and more.
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: But when I first watching, I didn't know what want
- 1:06:02Speaker 6: you have more?
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: You will have more of an emotional investment if you've
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: been watching a person high school.
- 1:06:07Speaker 21: Kind Yes, I feel like that with Angel Reese, like
- 1:06:09Speaker 21: following her career. Every time something happens. I'm happy for
- 1:06:12Speaker 21: her because I remember watching like all the pushbacks she
- 1:06:14Speaker 21: would get and things people would say about her, and
- 1:06:16Speaker 21: like where she is now. So I was just talking
- 1:06:18Speaker 21: about how you can I get now I'm understanding sports
- 1:06:21Speaker 21: fans a bit more.
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: That's it.

- 1:07:24Speaker 4: Donkey Today for Wednesday, July twenty ninth goes to a
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: thirty five year old Allentown, Pennsylvania man named Stephen McCarthy. Now,
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: this story came to my attention because one of our producers,
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: slash Board op DJ Red Red, was complaining about neked
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: men in the gym, and Red isn't a complainer.
- 1:07:40Speaker 6: So when Red came in, I don't know if it
- 1:07:42Speaker 6: was last week, good, this week? Was that last week?
- 1:07:43Speaker 6: This week? Last week.
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: Right, But when he came in complaining about neked men
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: in the gym, I knew it had to be serious.
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: Red said he wanted to build a wall around neked
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: men in the gym. Okay, he said, there is no
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: country for old men in the gym. And we've all
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: been there, okay, working in the gym and seeing an
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: old white man in the locker room with what seems
- 1:08:04Speaker 4: to be a hairy clinton all right, just a patch
- 1:08:06Speaker 4: of gray head.
- 1:08:07Speaker 6: And nothing else. But he's just as free as he
- 1:08:11Speaker 6: can be. Okay.
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: They have gotten to the age where they have lost
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: all self consciousness and sense of physical vulnerability regarding their
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: aging bodies.
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: Not to mention those old men grew up in the
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: era where societal norms were different. Okay, older generations grew
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: up where public nudity in the gym and school locker
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: rooms it was completely normal. Okay, But that f all that.
- 1:08:31Speaker 4: I don't really care. When you get to that age
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: seventies eighties, you still got the energy to go to
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: the gym, get nackad all right. I don't give it
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: that you earned it, all right, decades of life scrip
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: away anxiety about body shape, and wrinkles and judgment from Piers.
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: Let your Jurassic junk hang man.
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: Okay, I don't give a damn now, I'm saying all
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: that to say the male locker room in the gym
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: is not a sexy place.
- 1:08:56Speaker 6: Okay, that's the picture I wanted to paint.
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: So I have absolutely no idea why Stephen McCarthy turned
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: into a freaky ash then just sixty nine god and
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: decided to go in a self service mod in the
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: gym locker room.
- 1:09:08Speaker 6: Yes, Stephen McCarty was.
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: Hit with some charges, including but not limited to, in
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: decent exposure after police were called the super Sets gem
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: because a man was masturbating inside a bathroom stall. According
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: to report, Stephen McCarty was charged with two counts misdemeanor
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: simple assault, one count summary harassment, and one count summary
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: disorderly conduct.
- 1:09:33Speaker 6: Okay, but I just told you.
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: Police were called the Supersets Gym for a man reportedly
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: masturbating inside a bathroom.
- 1:09:40Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: While officers were on the way to the gym, an
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: additional call came in reporting that Stephen McCarthy was allegedly.
- 1:09:48Speaker 6: Fighting with people in the locker room. Freaking and fighting. Okay.
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: Two men told police they witnessed McCarthy exposing himself in
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: the stall and moaning he.
- 1:10:00Speaker 6: Must have been going in. You can't wait to get
- 1:10:02Speaker 6: a membership as Supersets. I'm ready to run down there
- 1:10:05Speaker 6: right now.
- 1:10:06Speaker 4: When Steven left the stall, he tried to push through
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: the men and began swinging at them until they wrestled
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: to rest of them to the floor.
- 1:10:14Speaker 6: Let's discuss, okay, Stephen, Stephen McCarthy, Let's talk, sir. What's
- 1:10:18Speaker 6: going on? All right?
- 1:10:19Speaker 4: Why were you buffing your banana, petting your puppy, playing
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: pocket pool in the men's locker room at Supersets.
- 1:10:27Speaker 6: Now, I'm not judging you, not at all.
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: All I'm saying is, if you want a silver Fox, okay,
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: if you want a sugar grands Addy, just.
- 1:10:34Speaker 6: Say that, okay.
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: I mean you must suffer from a word that I
- 1:10:37Speaker 4: can't pronounce, but I'm gonna try anyway.
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: Your rent to philia, No, your rent to philia. That's it.
- 1:10:44Speaker 6: Your rent to philia. I think I said that right.
- 1:10:47Speaker 6: But I'm gonna tell you what it is.
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: It's the clinical term for a primary sexual or romantic contraction.
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: The people of advanced age. If you in a men's
- 1:10:55Speaker 4: locker room. Okay, at a gym and you get ony.
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: You a different breed, Okay, you a different breed. I mean,
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: he's probably got a picture of a bunch of US
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: senators on his wall. He probably runs a one man
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: offense and makes a personal deposit every time he sees
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: a picture of Mitch McConnell. And then he had to
- 1:11:14Speaker 4: nerve the unmitigated gall After playing tugger wall with himself,
- 1:11:19Speaker 4: he comes out the stall and tries to push through
- 1:11:22Speaker 4: a group of men and began swinging at them with
- 1:11:25Speaker 4: closed fists until they wrested them to the ground. First
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: of all, you can't go from hand to gland combat
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: to hand to hand combat. Second of all, who these
- 1:11:34Speaker 4: freaks that was standing outside his stall?
- 1:11:37Speaker 6: Okay?
- 1:11:37Speaker 4: If I hear someone moaning from a stall, I'm probably
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: gonna mind my business. Okay, I'm damn sure not gonna
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: be standing outside his stall. Okay, and have him push
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: through me?
- 1:11:47Speaker 6: All right? Could y'all at least let the man wash
- 1:11:49Speaker 6: his hands. This guy is swinging on.
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: You with white sticky stuff on his hands. He thinks
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: he's Peter Parker, Okay, And he had to be wrestled
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: to the ground. All I can think is if they
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: held him until the police came, you never got a
- 1:12:05Speaker 4: chance to wash his hands.
- 1:12:06Speaker 6: M just baby gravy everywhere.

- 1:14:32Speaker 6: Not that's not her name? Sarah? Who does.
- 1:14:40Speaker 5: Sarah?
- 1:14:40Speaker 8: Yes, she was doing her podcast and she was talking
- 1:14:43Speaker 8: about the term happy wife, happy life, and this is
- 1:14:45Speaker 8: what she said.
- 1:14:46Speaker 25: Women have such disregulated emotions that they'll say, I'm leaving
- 1:14:52Speaker 25: this thing because I'm not happy.
- 1:14:54Speaker 26: What the hell does that mean? And this whole like
- 1:14:56Speaker 26: woke community, this I need to.
- 1:14:58Speaker 25: Feel seen, heard, and I need to acknowledged one hundred
- 1:15:01Speaker 25: percent of the time.
- 1:15:02Speaker 26: That's why you're single.
- 1:15:03Speaker 25: If you think a person is supposed to get you
- 1:15:04Speaker 25: one hundred percent of the time, If you think that
- 1:15:06Speaker 25: a person is supposed to make you happy one hundred
- 1:15:08Speaker 25: percent of the time, stay single, don't get married, don't date,
- 1:15:11Speaker 25: don't even get to know anybody, because you don't even
- 1:15:13Speaker 25: make yourself happy one hundred percent of the time.
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: How do you take a man to do this?
- 1:15:17Speaker 26: I'm so sick and tired of what you keep sarying me.
- 1:15:19Speaker 20: What isn't important for men to be happy in their relationships?
- 1:15:22Speaker 26: It's the most important.
- 1:15:23Speaker 20: There are large amounts of men that will disagree with you.
- 1:15:26Speaker 25: No, I think large amounts of men have gotten condition
- 1:15:29Speaker 25: to feeling like their happiness doesn't matter. But that whole
- 1:15:32Speaker 25: happy wife, happy life is bs. It's happy spouse, happy house.
- 1:15:36Speaker 25: If you are looking at it from a space of
- 1:15:39Speaker 25: we are here to serve each other. That's why two
- 1:15:42Speaker 25: out of three marriages end in divorce.
- 1:15:47Speaker 7: I don't totally agree with everything she said. I get it,
- 1:15:51Speaker 7: she said, you keep sarahing me because the lady kept
- 1:15:54Speaker 7: saying Sarah. She was very passionate about what she said.
- 1:16:00Speaker 8: Yes, sarahunt, and that solute. The sound question is how
- 1:16:05Speaker 8: is let's just open up the phone line so people
- 1:16:07Speaker 8: take eight.
- 1:16:09Speaker 6: Five one. But yes, I think is absolutely positively right.
- 1:16:13Speaker 8: Yes, you should feel happy wife, happy life, but your
- 1:16:15Speaker 8: wife should feel happy husband. Whatever should be both sides
- 1:16:20Speaker 8: to try to make the other side happy.
- 1:16:22Speaker 7: That's what aalization that a lot of women don't want
- 1:16:25Speaker 7: to talk about. They like to stay away from that because, yeah,
- 1:16:28Speaker 7: men have been conditioned to think that their happiness don't matter.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: You.
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: We hear it every year on Thanksgiving.
- 1:16:33Speaker 7: You it's about my wife, and I don't really get
- 1:16:35Speaker 7: anything for Father's Day or Valentine's Day or any on
- 1:16:38Speaker 7: my birthday. You know, it's all about catering to your woman.
- 1:16:40Speaker 7: A lot of women got that mindset.
- 1:16:42Speaker 6: It's not right.
- 1:16:43Speaker 8: Yeah, but you know what too, And we'll talk about
- 1:16:44Speaker 8: it when we come back with my wife. At the
- 1:16:46Speaker 8: beginning of each year. After New Year's she always says,
- 1:16:49Speaker 8: what can I do to make your life easier?
- 1:16:51Speaker 23: What?
- 1:16:51Speaker 6: What can I do to help you make your life easy?
- 1:16:53Speaker 9: Is it?
- 1:16:53Speaker 6: Do you need more sleep? Do you want me to
- 1:16:55Speaker 6: do this? Do you want me to do that? And
- 1:16:56Speaker 6: then I do the same for her. That's what a
- 1:16:58Speaker 6: happy relationship.
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: Balance marriage.
- 1:17:01Speaker 4: But also when we say happy wife, happy life, I've
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: never taken that as just my wife you know, is
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: supposed to be happy. The reality is I want to
- 1:17:10Speaker 4: make her happy because she makes me happy. Correct If
- 1:17:13Speaker 4: she don't make me happy, I don't give a damn.
- 1:17:17Speaker 6: You want it to be reciprocate.
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: The reason we say happy wife, happy life is because
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: clearly your wife is doing something to you that makes
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: you want to continue.
- 1:17:25Speaker 8: To make her happy. Let's discuss. We'll take your calls
- 1:17:27Speaker 8: when we come back. It's the Breakfast Lug.

- 1:17:52Speaker 6: She was talking about the term happy wife, happy life,
- 1:17:55Speaker 6: and this is what she said.
- 1:17:57Speaker 25: Women have such disregulated emotions that they'll say, I'm leaving
- 1:18:02Speaker 25: this thing because I'm not happy.
- 1:18:05Speaker 26: What the hell does that mean?
- 1:18:06Speaker 25: And this whole like woke community, this I need to
- 1:18:09Speaker 25: feel seen heard and I need to be acknowledged one
- 1:18:11Speaker 25: hundred percent of the time.
- 1:18:12Speaker 26: That's why you're single.
- 1:18:13Speaker 25: If you think a person is supposed to get you
- 1:18:15Speaker 25: one hundred percent of the time, If you think that
- 1:18:17Speaker 25: a person is supposed to make you happy one hundred
- 1:18:19Speaker 25: percent of the time, stay single, don't get married, don't date,
- 1:18:22Speaker 25: you don't even get to know anybody because you don't
- 1:18:24Speaker 25: even make yourself happy one hundred percent of the time.
- 1:18:26Speaker 26: How do you take them mand to do this? I'm
- 1:18:28Speaker 26: so sick and tired of it what you keep saying
- 1:18:30Speaker 26: in me?
- 1:18:30Speaker 20: What is it important for you to be happy in
- 1:18:32Speaker 20: their relationships?
- 1:18:33Speaker 26: It's the most important.
- 1:18:34Speaker 20: There are large amounts of men that will disagree with you.
- 1:18:37Speaker 25: No, I think the large amounts of men have gotten
- 1:18:39Speaker 25: condition to feeling like their happiness doesn't matter. But that
- 1:18:42Speaker 25: whole happy wife, happy life is bs. It's happy spouse,
- 1:18:46Speaker 25: happy house. If you aren't looking at it from a
- 1:18:49Speaker 25: space of we are here to serve each other. That's
- 1:18:52Speaker 25: why two out of three marriages end in divorce.
- 1:18:55Speaker 6: Ten ten No notes nothing to debate here to Sarah,
- 1:19:00Speaker 6: let the chop a fly, And she's right, right, I
- 1:19:01Speaker 6: totally agree with that.
- 1:19:02Speaker 8: There's nothing else to discuss, Like, yes, as a man, Yes,
- 1:19:05Speaker 8: I want my wife to be happy and my woman,
- 1:19:07Speaker 8: my wife wants me to be happy.
- 1:19:09Speaker 6: Like, what else are we talking about?
- 1:19:10Speaker 7: And then even in the beginning, when she was just
- 1:19:12Speaker 7: talking about a woman's happiness, thinking that a man is
- 1:19:14Speaker 7: supposed to be responsible for making you happy one hundred
- 1:19:17Speaker 7: percent of the time. No, that you can't be responsible
- 1:19:19Speaker 7: for somebody else's happiness. You have to That starts with you, Like,
- 1:19:23Speaker 7: what's this side of you?
- 1:19:24Speaker 4: And the young lady who said that men would disagree,
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: What is that to disagree about? I have a happy house,
- 1:19:29Speaker 4: happy spou There's no man out there that's going to
- 1:19:32Speaker 4: disagree with that logic, you know, But the logic has
- 1:19:36Speaker 4: been one sided for so long because whenever we hear
- 1:19:38Speaker 4: the term happy wife, happy life, we're acting like that
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: excludes the man.
- 1:19:42Speaker 6: No, the only reason men are saying.
- 1:19:44Speaker 4: Happy wife, happy life is because our wives make us happy,
- 1:19:47Speaker 4: so we in turn want to make them happy.
- 1:19:49Speaker 6: My wife ain't making me happy. Ain't no life period.
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: I'm trying to.
- 1:19:53Speaker 6: Boss the truth right. Hello, who's this? Welcome Malcolm? What's

- 1:20:04Speaker 13: She she got a brother feeling feeling good?
- 1:20:06Speaker 16: Man.
- 1:20:07Speaker 13: I love to hear women, you know what I mean
- 1:20:09Speaker 13: supporting the man somewhat.
- 1:20:10Speaker 11: Man.
- 1:20:10Speaker 6: I mean, that's right. Sarah married too, by the.
- 1:20:13Speaker 13: Way, I've been married eight years, man, So I've been
- 1:20:17Speaker 13: feeling like, you know, a lot of social media stuff
- 1:20:19Speaker 13: is what's really got these women really blazing that happy wife,
- 1:20:23Speaker 13: happy life and not really caring about the men.
- 1:20:25Speaker 3: That's true. A lot of social influence going over.
- 1:20:29Speaker 6: Hello, who's this?
- 1:20:30Speaker 12: There's this big mom from mokom corner?
- 1:20:34Speaker 6: What's uping more Monk's corner? What's happening to.
- 1:20:38Speaker 13: Charlott Day?
- 1:20:39Speaker 16: What's up? Long life?
- 1:20:41Speaker 6: What's up my brother boy? What's up?
- 1:20:46Speaker 12: Yes, it'll be how y'all doing.
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: What's that baby?
- 1:20:48Speaker 6: What's up?
- 1:20:49Speaker 12: Talk to us more yo, lads or happy wife is
- 1:20:53Speaker 12: a happy life, bud, a happy lad it's God's plan. Okay, Hey,
- 1:20:58Speaker 12: and I challeng y'all to look up the point where
- 1:21:01Speaker 12: that mc comes from has absolutely nothing to do with
- 1:21:05Speaker 12: the woman.
- 1:21:06Speaker 6: What is a happy man is God's playing? Yeah, that's
- 1:21:08Speaker 6: what he said.
- 1:21:09Speaker 12: That man is God's player. But if you look up
- 1:21:10Speaker 12: the original poem where that saying comes from, it has
- 1:21:14Speaker 12: to do with a man earning a living.
- 1:21:18Speaker 16: To provide a happy life for his family.
- 1:21:20Speaker 12: Has absolutely loveson to do with the with the woman.
- 1:21:24Speaker 16: You got to keep your family happy, you know what
- 1:21:27Speaker 16: I'm saying.
- 1:21:28Speaker 6: That's all about. I like happy spouse, happy house man.
- 1:21:31Speaker 6: That's what I like.
- 1:21:33Speaker 16: That's that's what's up.
- 1:21:35Speaker 30: Hello, who says, Yes, it's a flare from that town.
- 1:21:38Speaker 6: Hey lady, good morning, good morning.
- 1:21:40Speaker 16: Hi.
- 1:21:41Speaker 30: So my take on it is happy wife is happy life.
- 1:21:45Speaker 30: It's the same thing it's happy Scout's happy house. Because
- 1:21:48Speaker 30: when the man come home, he sets the tone. So
- 1:21:51Speaker 30: if he is upset, the wife is naturally going to
- 1:21:55Speaker 30: be mad.
- 1:21:56Speaker 16: Upset, nervous.
- 1:21:57Speaker 30: She's going to pass that down to the kid, So
- 1:21:59Speaker 30: then the kids are going to be.
- 1:22:00Speaker 16: Disruptive or sad or whatever.
- 1:22:02Speaker 30: The energy just the man set the tone. But with
- 1:22:06Speaker 30: that wife is happy guess what. She makes the husband happy,
- 1:22:09Speaker 30: she makes the kids happy, everybody is happy. So it's
- 1:22:13Speaker 30: pretty much the same. The way she broke it down
- 1:22:16Speaker 30: is just basically saying the same thing. But yeah, I
- 1:22:18Speaker 30: kind of wife happy life.
- 1:22:19Speaker 4: I kind of disagree with what you said though, Like
- 1:22:21Speaker 4: just because the man comes home and the man might
- 1:22:23Speaker 4: be in the mood, or the man might be angry,
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: you know, the woman can change that, and vice versa.
- 1:22:29Speaker 6: You know what I mean, Your woman.
- 1:22:30Speaker 16: Backly, But that's the woman doing that, that's not the man.
- 1:22:34Speaker 6: I said vice versa. Hey, hey, hey, I said in
- 1:22:36Speaker 6: vice versa.
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: And reverse the same.
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: See women don't want to listen up, but so much,
- 1:22:41Speaker 4: I said in vice versa. So that means both parties
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: can do that. So if you might come home and
- 1:22:45Speaker 4: you might be angry, and you might be upset, I
- 1:22:47Speaker 4: might calm you down, you know what I mean, or
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: help you to shift your energy, and vice versa, you
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: might do the same for me.
- 1:22:53Speaker 6: I vice versa.
- 1:22:55Speaker 30: That men are because a woman could come home and
- 1:22:59Speaker 30: then he's just ignored the fact that he's upset. The
- 1:23:01Speaker 30: woman will actually take into account that, hey, maybe he
- 1:23:04Speaker 30: had a bad, bad word.
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: Why you don't think a man will do that. Why
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: you don't think a man will do that? Have you
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: a long time?
- 1:23:09Speaker 30: Men aren't Most time, men are not that reciprocal to
- 1:23:13Speaker 30: a women's emotions.
- 1:23:15Speaker 16: They're not necessarily paying attention to the fact.
- 1:23:17Speaker 30: That maybe this is something or maybe and then a
- 1:23:20Speaker 30: lot of times they take it and look at as anger.
- 1:23:23Speaker 30: It's not necessarily anger. Maybe I'm the press, maybe I've
- 1:23:25Speaker 30: been in the house, if they dealing with the kids.
- 1:23:27Speaker 30: I don't want to necessarily be happy right now.
- 1:23:31Speaker 7: But at the same time, but that's still you being
- 1:23:35Speaker 7: responsible for your happiness as well. Like you know, you
- 1:23:38Speaker 7: can't blame him, You can't get upset with him because
- 1:23:41Speaker 7: he can't read your mind. You have that's communication. You
- 1:23:43Speaker 7: gotta talk to him so he can know how to
- 1:23:45Speaker 7: best aide you, you know what I mean, and vice versa.
- 1:23:49Speaker 16: It's not necessarily that blame.
- 1:23:51Speaker 30: It's not necessarily that blame. Basically, what I'm saying is.
- 1:23:54Speaker 16: Is that the tone is always set by that person,
- 1:23:58Speaker 16: and it's how you produce the results of that towel.
- 1:24:01Speaker 8: You know, I think the term happy wife, happy life
- 1:24:04Speaker 8: only signals it only signals out women, right, But a
- 1:24:07Speaker 8: happy spouse, happy house I think that's a relationship, that's
- 1:24:09Speaker 8: a bond, that's something a lot different.
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: But no, and yes, no one person can set the
- 1:24:14Speaker 4: tone because you don't have to receive that persons even
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: if even if my if my wife or myself comes
- 1:24:19Speaker 4: in the house and I'm in a mood, now it's
- 1:24:21Speaker 4: sound for some me time. I got to review by
- 1:24:22Speaker 4: myself a moment before I come and bring that energy
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: to my.
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: Family, exactly.
- 1:24:26Speaker 7: And that's you making sure that you can make yourself
- 1:24:28Speaker 7: happy before you go and project whatever you got going on.
- 1:24:31Speaker 6: On the house.
- 1:24:32Speaker 8: I gotta regulate my own emotions exactly. Now, if you're
- 1:24:34Speaker 8: just joining us, we're talking about Sarah.
- 1:24:37Speaker 6: Let me get her Nara font from the Giving podcast
- 1:24:41Speaker 6: with Big Sound.

- 1:24:51Speaker 8: Long conversation Sarah amazing. So we're asking, well, this is
- 1:24:54Speaker 8: what she said, m hm oh.
- 1:24:57Speaker 25: Hey, women have such disregulated emotions that they'll say I'm
- 1:25:04Speaker 25: leaving this thing because I'm not happy.
- 1:25:07Speaker 26: What the hell does that mean? And this whole like
- 1:25:10Speaker 26: woke community this.
- 1:25:11Speaker 25: I need to feel seen heard and I need to
- 1:25:13Speaker 25: be acknowledged one hundred percent of the time.
- 1:25:15Speaker 26: That's why you're single.
- 1:25:16Speaker 25: If you think a person is supposed to get you
- 1:25:18Speaker 25: one hundred percent of the time, If you think that
- 1:25:20Speaker 25: a person is supposed to make you happy one hundred
- 1:25:21Speaker 25: percent of the time, stay single, don't get married, don't date,
- 1:25:25Speaker 25: don't even get to know anybody, because you don't even
- 1:25:27Speaker 25: make yourself happy one hundred percent of the time.
- 1:25:28Speaker 26: How do you get the man to do this?
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: I'm so sick and tired and what you keep sarrying me?
- 1:25:33Speaker 20: What relationships?
- 1:25:36Speaker 26: It's the most important.
- 1:25:37Speaker 20: There are large amounts of men that will disagree with you.
- 1:25:40Speaker 25: No, I think large amounts of men have gotten conditioned
- 1:25:43Speaker 25: to feeling like their happiness doesn't matter. But that whole
- 1:25:45Speaker 25: happy wife, happy life is bs. It's happy spouse, happy
- 1:25:49Speaker 25: house if you aren't looking at it from a space
- 1:25:53Speaker 25: of we are here to serve each other.
- 1:25:55Speaker 26: That's why two out of three marriages end in divorce.
- 1:25:58Speaker 6: How can you argue with that?
- 1:25:59Speaker 16: Hell?
- 1:26:01Speaker 6: Not the little one. This Juveni podcast stopped playing with him.
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 1:26:09Speaker 4: We agreed, No, we just what y'all, We just wanted
- 1:26:13Speaker 4: to call Sarah because we were playing your clip from
- 1:26:15Speaker 4: This is Giving podcasts and everybody called up in and
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: agreed with you.
- 1:26:18Speaker 8: I don't you know, there's there's a woman on the
- 1:26:20Speaker 8: on the line right now that says she disagree with you.
- 1:26:23Speaker 6: Said they're looking at it the wrong way. Well, let's
- 1:26:25Speaker 6: let's listen. Hold on here, can Sarah be able to
- 1:26:27Speaker 6: hear the call? Okay, listen, sir, Terry you're here?
- 1:26:31Speaker 8: Ye, hey, Terry from Virginia. B Salah is actually on
- 1:26:35Speaker 8: the line with us now and we would love to
- 1:26:37Speaker 8: hear your thoughts on this.
- 1:26:38Speaker 6: So what do you think, Terry?
- 1:26:39Speaker 15: I honestly disagree with Sarah, and I believe that with
- 1:26:43Speaker 15: y'all looking at it the wrong way. When they say
- 1:26:45Speaker 15: happy wife's happy life, I believe that that means if
- 1:26:49Speaker 15: the wife is happy, she makes her hers happen.
- 1:26:52Speaker 16: Then you know, then the house is happy.
- 1:26:54Speaker 15: And I just believe that Sarah was doing too much.
- 1:26:57Speaker 6: But what about happy spouts?
- 1:27:01Speaker 3: Should ways because the happening has got to start somewhere,
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
- 1:27:04Speaker 16: Okay?
- 1:27:04Speaker 19: Will you both will be happy?
- 1:27:06Speaker 16: You know?
- 1:27:06Speaker 15: Because the wife do kind of I feel the wife
- 1:27:09Speaker 15: set the tone. She does to said the husband. But
- 1:27:11Speaker 15: I feel like the wife said the tone. And your
- 1:27:12Speaker 15: wife can always make her man happy. You know, how
- 1:27:15Speaker 15: to make your man happy depends that depending on whatever
- 1:27:18Speaker 15: move he's in.
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: No, not everybody, not every woman knows how to make
- 1:27:22Speaker 3: a man marry him.
- 1:27:23Speaker 15: I'm not, but I have been married. And okay, with
- 1:27:27Speaker 15: that being said, what she said at the beginning with.
- 1:27:30Speaker 19: These women, that's what you don't have.
- 1:27:31Speaker 17: No, that's for you.
- 1:27:34Speaker 18: I'm not happy.
- 1:27:35Speaker 19: No, yeah, she said that I'm not happy, So I'm leaving.
- 1:27:37Speaker 15: It depends on what she mean by that, because ain't
- 1:27:40Speaker 15: nobody staying in a relationship that they're not happy in.
- 1:27:43Speaker 6: But we got soured on the phone that load that
- 1:27:47Speaker 6: chop will go.
- 1:27:49Speaker 29: Yeah, okay, Tara, First of all, thank you so much
- 1:27:51Speaker 29: for for chiming in on your opinion. And what I
- 1:27:54Speaker 29: mean by that is when I say happy house, happy spouse,
- 1:27:57Speaker 29: I mean everybody's. The focus should be that everybody is happy.
- 1:28:01Speaker 29: The focus should not be that only the wife is happy.
- 1:28:04Speaker 29: And I think that we as women live in a
- 1:28:05Speaker 29: delusion number one, because we expect a woman out of.
- 1:28:08Speaker 16: A man when we chose a man, and that's the problem.
- 1:28:12Speaker 29: So when a lot of women are over here saying
- 1:28:14Speaker 29: like I'm not happy, why because he doesn't talk about
- 1:28:16Speaker 29: the moon, the sun and the stars. Why because he
- 1:28:18Speaker 29: doesn't know how to emotionally connect to you. It's a
- 1:28:21Speaker 29: route that teaches a man how to do that most
- 1:28:24Speaker 29: times through relationships and through experience.
- 1:28:26Speaker 16: So if you're not happy, you're not doing the.
- 1:28:28Speaker 29: Work, which comes back to us being lazy as women
- 1:28:31Speaker 29: in our relationship because a.
- 1:28:32Speaker 16: Lot of us are takers and not giving.
- 1:28:40Speaker 19: Yeah, wait a minute, with that being said, I agree
- 1:28:43Speaker 19: with the part where you said whether the woman teaches
- 1:28:45Speaker 19: a man exactly. So therefore I feel like it does
- 1:28:48Speaker 19: start with the woman. That's why it is important that
- 1:28:51Speaker 19: that woman is happy, and the man has to take
- 1:28:53Speaker 19: some responsibility of making that woman happy. And then I
- 1:28:56Speaker 19: still believe that when that woman is happy in the relationships,
- 1:28:58Speaker 19: then the house is happy.
- 1:29:01Speaker 16: I asked the questions the same.
- 1:29:03Speaker 15: Things, really the same thing, It's just the way.
- 1:29:06Speaker 16: You look at it.
- 1:29:07Speaker 6: Oh, Sarah has a question for you.
- 1:29:09Speaker 29: Yes, I just have a quick question. Why do you
- 1:29:12Speaker 29: think it is looked upon so negatively that instead of
- 1:29:17Speaker 29: saying no, don't focus on happy wife, happy life, focus
- 1:29:21Speaker 29: on happy spouse happy house.
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: Why is that even a.
- 1:29:26Speaker 29: Disagreement where I'm saying both of us should be happy,
- 1:29:30Speaker 29: that should be the focus instead of well, no, the
- 1:29:33Speaker 29: wife needs to be happy first. And I think the
- 1:29:36Speaker 29: selfishness that.
- 1:29:37Speaker 16: We have as women and the delusion that we have
- 1:29:40Speaker 16: as women is why a lot.
- 1:29:41Speaker 29: Of us are single.
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: Selfishness And I'm married, but you.
- 1:29:47Speaker 15: Know what, I.
- 1:29:51Speaker 4: Get that one final shot, No you hung up on?
- 1:29:57Speaker 4: Tell you, Sarah, tell him how to follow you?

- 1:33:04Speaker 6: Would you love to see Clarisia Shields fight? Because I

- 1:33:08Speaker 6: do them no that to outdated, outdate.
- 1:33:12Speaker 23: Layla alone likes paved the way for Clarissa to become
- 1:33:16Speaker 23: who she is today. You got to pay homage to
- 1:33:19Speaker 23: those athletes and fighters that work tremendously hard to make
- 1:33:25Speaker 23: a name for the sport of women boxing. Back in

- 1:33:32Speaker 10: You know.

- 1:35:04Speaker 21: going on well and other announcement news. So there's a
- 1:35:08Speaker 21: report circulating right now that mccaullay cochin has as having
- 1:35:13Speaker 21: conversations with Disney about another Home Alone and that Disney
- 1:35:17Speaker 21: is actually excited about it. So this might be uh,
- 1:35:20Speaker 21: you know, stirring up now, this is the conversation that
- 1:35:24Speaker 21: is happening. So there's a report from Puck's Matt Bellanie
- 1:35:28Speaker 21: that McCauley clckin recently sat down with Disney and they
- 1:35:32Speaker 21: had this conversation about a new Home Alone project. Now,
- 1:35:35Speaker 21: there are no real details as to what his pitch
- 1:35:38Speaker 21: on modern day Kevin would be like, but he's had
- 1:35:41Speaker 21: other conversations where he's talked about toying with.
- 1:35:44Speaker 3: The idea of like.
- 1:35:48Speaker 21: Sorry, where he's toy with the idea of being a
- 1:35:53Speaker 21: single dad who has like an emotionally neglected son who
- 1:35:56Speaker 21: locks him out of the house and then sets all
- 1:35:58Speaker 21: these tracks as the dad tries to get back out.
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: That even sound point that's not like a young man
- 1:36:01Speaker 4: dealing with mental health is yeah, you know, he locked
- 1:36:04Speaker 4: his that out the house.
- 1:36:04Speaker 6: Now he got all kinds of traps in the house.
- 1:36:06Speaker 6: The police to come over and kill that young man.
- 1:36:09Speaker 6: Nobody know I'm not mad at don be a.
- 1:36:12Speaker 5: Little white boy.
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: No, it's not gonna be a little black boy.
- 1:36:14Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm not mad at doing home alone again.
- 1:36:17Speaker 6: But that concept sounds trash.
- 1:36:18Speaker 3: Yeah it really does. But I think it just needs
- 1:36:20Speaker 3: to be left alone.
- 1:36:21Speaker 4: How do you have any home alone? Sequels and child
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: Services haven't gotten involved yet. Are you're gonna do something
- 1:36:27Speaker 4: like that in twenty twenty six? I need the real
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: dark version of how when they came and took took
- 1:36:31Speaker 4: him from the mechallis the trauma of his parents always neglected.
- 1:36:36Speaker 6: Him when he was young, made him a terrible parent
- 1:36:38Speaker 6: as he got older.
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, see.
- 1:36:40Speaker 6: What I'm saying Like that, I do like that.
- 1:36:42Speaker 4: That's probably why you got locked out the house because
- 1:36:44Speaker 4: the man is like, you know, you don't know how
- 1:36:46Speaker 4: to regulate your emotions, okay, and you come in here
- 1:36:49Speaker 4: with all that trauma from your parents always neglecting you,
- 1:36:51Speaker 4: and so you bring that on to me.
- 1:36:52Speaker 6: But now I'm gonna lock your ass out the house.
- 1:36:54Speaker 7: But even my home alone, the first one that he
- 1:36:58Speaker 7: could never be black like he aught that only was
- 1:37:00Speaker 7: for white because my I think my mother and my
- 1:37:02Speaker 7: father used to sit me down and let me watch
- 1:37:03Speaker 7: me and my brother watch that, just so we know
- 1:37:06Speaker 7: not to ever.
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: Play with them. Did you hear what he said that?
- 1:37:08Speaker 7: She said, he said, I don't want to see you
- 1:37:10Speaker 7: again for the rest of my whole life, and I
- 1:37:11Speaker 7: don't want to see anybody else either.
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: She said, Kevin, go upstairs. He said, I am upstairs, dummy.
- 1:37:17Speaker 8: That is great, right, it's crazy you remember that line
- 1:37:19Speaker 8: for line Yeah, because my mom gonna drag me all
- 1:37:21Speaker 8: over that out what wow?
- 1:37:23Speaker 21: Well y'all sitting up here with these music takes, Charlotte
- 1:37:25Speaker 21: and the last movie takes, the last take that you
- 1:37:27Speaker 21: had when we did the Black Panther when after Ryan
- 1:37:30Speaker 21: Cougler announced the new Black Panther and you said that
- 1:37:34Speaker 21: David Johnson needs to walk up.
- 1:37:36Speaker 6: A little bit.
- 1:37:36Speaker 3: You saw people cover that and they picked that up,
- 1:37:39Speaker 3: picking this one up as well.
- 1:37:40Speaker 4: As at least Complex said it was a joke. Okay,
- 1:37:43Speaker 4: I wasn't joking. I mean, he doesn't need to walk
- 1:37:45Speaker 4: up to play a superhero.
- 1:37:46Speaker 3: But you wasn't like talking and she was just like
- 1:37:48Speaker 3: his is like, come on.
- 1:37:49Speaker 6: Actually said I trust Ryan Coogler.
- 1:37:51Speaker 4: So Ryan Coogler saw this young man and said, this
- 1:37:53Speaker 4: young man can carry the Man to the Black Panther.
- 1:37:54Speaker 4: I trust, and Ryan Coogler, I trust, and like you
- 1:37:57Speaker 4: had time to get in shape, you got time to bump,
- 1:37:59Speaker 4: you know, buff up.
- 1:38:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:38:01Speaker 3: Michael B.
- 1:38:02Speaker 21: Jordan, he was at the Spider Man premiere the other
- 1:38:04Speaker 21: night and they caught up with him. But it was
- 1:38:05Speaker 21: just like a really quick line. He was talking about
- 1:38:07Speaker 21: being excited about the film too. Let's take a listen.
- 1:38:10Speaker 6: What are you thinking the new Black Panther. Oh look,
