- 11:07Speaker 17: Page News and me me.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Brown, Me me Brown about pretty much shocking up.
- 11:11Speaker 6: This ain't shocking up. These are just people who are roommates.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Yeah, just roommates.
- 11:14Speaker 17: They're just trying to get it, you know, get it done,
- 11:16Speaker 17: because you look at rent, and rent can go anywhere
- 11:18Speaker 17: from about probably about twenty five hundred times four thousand dollars,
- 11:22Speaker 17: and you can't afford it. So what they're doing is
- 11:24Speaker 17: is they're renting out rooms where it's like you have
- 11:27Speaker 17: your own room, but you're you're sharing a common space,
- 11:29Speaker 17: which is usually the kitchen or the living room and
- 11:32Speaker 17: areas like that. But people can't afford it. So you're
- 11:34Speaker 17: seeing more and more and more of that, and like
- 11:36Speaker 17: you said, also people are like, look, you know, if
- 11:40Speaker 17: the man can afford it, he might be able to
- 11:42Speaker 17: have a couple of different girls. If the women can
- 11:44Speaker 17: afford it, have a couple of different adude.
- 11:45Speaker 10: I think that the economy is going really going forth,
- 11:49Speaker 10: not forced, but you know, make people get in the
- 11:51Speaker 10: more for oligamous relationships.
- 11:53Speaker 3: I really do.
- 11:54Speaker 6: And it might be vice versa.
- 11:55Speaker 10: You might have some women that's out here making enough
- 11:57Speaker 10: money and she knows might have to have these two.
- 12:00Speaker 10: Was like, Yo, we're gonna all be one big, happy
- 12:01Speaker 10: family and they're gonna have to be all right with it.
- 12:03Speaker 6: You just never know.
- 12:04Speaker 10: I never had a roommate, you know what I'm saying.
- 12:06Speaker 10: I mean me and my wife. People lived together, you know,
- 12:08Speaker 10: even back in the day. But I've never had I
- 12:10Speaker 10: never had a roommate.
- 12:11Speaker 17: I never well, y'all didn't go to college. But only
- 12:14Speaker 17: in college I had a roommate. But outside of college, no,
- 12:16Speaker 17: me neither.
- 12:17Speaker 12: So what it don't matter. We ain't ever go to college.
- 12:20Speaker 6: How was that two men sharing the same toilet? It
- 12:22Speaker 6: was three cheeks?
- 12:25Speaker 12: Was just too I'm so hight talking about you went

- 15:07Speaker 6: No, stop saying shacking up. Shacking up is something different.
- 15:10Speaker 10: Somebody, Grandma and me and my wife used to shack
- 15:12Speaker 10: up because we were a couple.
- 15:13Speaker 6: We weren't married. That's what you call shacking up.
- 15:16Speaker 10: These are people who are actually roommates because you know,
- 15:19Speaker 10: financially they can't afford to rent on their own Like this,
- 15:22Speaker 10: ain't no shacking up, ain't no loving going on.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Now.
- 15:24Speaker 10: I'm trying to get the poligamy question going, but ain't
- 15:27Speaker 10: nobody biting on the nobody want to do that.
- 15:29Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's open up the phones lines. What are
- 15:32Speaker 4: your thought what are your thoughts as the breakfast club,
- 15:34Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 15:35Speaker 1: The breakfast club. If y'all talking about it, you know
- 15:41Speaker 1: we talking about it.
- 15:42Speaker 3: It's tough times.
- 15:44Speaker 21: Called eight hundred five eight five one five one to
- 15:46Speaker 21: join into the discussion with the breakfast Club morning.
- 15:50Speaker 17: Everybody is the j Envy Jesse, Larry Charlamagne, the guy.
- 15:53Speaker 17: We are the breakfast club Naphew just joining us, Me
- 15:56Speaker 17: and me. During Front page News, Uh, she was talking
- 15:59Speaker 17: about how difficult out there is out there for homeowners,
- 16:02Speaker 17: and she said people are having roommates living with each other.
- 16:04Speaker 4: So let's listen.
- 16:05Speaker 16: There's a new housing survey that's raising questions this morning
- 16:08Speaker 16: about roommate red flags. It says that more adults in
- 16:10Speaker 16: their thirties and forties they're sharing space again because rent
- 16:13Speaker 16: is just simply too high. So recent data from zillow
- 16:16Speaker 16: it shows living alone can cost renters more than ten
- 16:18Speaker 16: thousand dollars, and so people are splitting it because financially
- 16:22Speaker 16: it makes sense. But responding to that survey say that
- 16:24Speaker 16: they're facing issues that they thought they left behind in college,
- 16:27Speaker 16: like dirty dishes, stacking up for days, boyfriend or girlfriends
- 16:30Speaker 16: that are practically moving in without paying bills, and late
- 16:33Speaker 16: payments that in some cases their credit is being affected
- 16:36Speaker 16: because someone on the lease isn't keeping their part of
- 16:38Speaker 16: the deal.
- 16:39Speaker 10: Listen, I completely get it. I know that there's a
- 16:41Speaker 10: lot of people live in that life, you know. I'm
- 16:42Speaker 10: sure there's a lot of adults that have to have
- 16:44Speaker 10: roommates because of the economy. So I mean, I understand,
- 16:47Speaker 10: like you gotta do what you got to do till
- 16:48Speaker 10: you get back on your feet.
- 16:49Speaker 6: Man, I don't see a problem with it.
- 16:51Speaker 4: But if you got four or five roommates, right, four or.
- 16:53Speaker 6: Five is crazy?
- 16:54Speaker 10: I don't even know, Like what kind of place are
- 16:56Speaker 10: y'all living in that y'all got four or five roommates,

- 17:09Speaker 5: Probably No, you can't.

- 17:13Speaker 12: four or five people.

- 18:15Speaker 6: Okay, but it's your crib. You just read the other
- 18:17Speaker 6: rooms out?
- 18:18Speaker 13: Oh no, hell no, I'm written from someone else.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Got you got?
- 18:22Speaker 6: Do you bring girls back over and stuff like that?
- 18:24Speaker 13: No, you got to be respectful of the house.
- 18:27Speaker 8: True.
- 18:27Speaker 6: Oh wow, you were in a room when you want
- 18:30Speaker 6: some cheeks? Hotel hotel?
- 18:32Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:33Speaker 12: See, but see you spending money on hotels? You know
- 18:36Speaker 12: what I mean? When you can be.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Because it's too embarrassed to bring the girl back kicking not.
- 18:42Speaker 13: Embarrassed, but you just got to be respectful of the house.
- 18:44Speaker 6: Ru Yeah, I think it's nothing to be embarrassed about.
- 18:47Speaker 12: No, no, no, no, not to be embarrassed. But that's
- 18:48Speaker 12: kicking out more bread. If you already can't afford to
- 18:50Speaker 12: live on his own, you're getting you getting hotels for cheeks.
- 18:53Speaker 6: I mean, just got a point.
- 18:54Speaker 12: You got to upgrade the female.
- 18:56Speaker 13: But you got home spots who could go over there too,
- 19:00Speaker 13: That's what I was saying.
- 19:01Speaker 12: It depends on the type of one that.
- 19:04Speaker 3: We don't know.
- 19:05Speaker 6: You ask, how much is runners?
- 19:08Speaker 4: That's all?
- 19:09Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, yeah, how much it is?
- 19:11Speaker 13: A bunch of my coworkers is listening to this.
- 19:13Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. Don't let them mess up your situation.
- 19:16Speaker 4: Bro, Thank you brother a telling y'all.
- 19:19Speaker 10: Ain't nobody on the line that practice of polygamous lifestyle
- 19:22Speaker 10: to save money, none of the women.
- 19:24Speaker 12: I thought he was gonna get at least some women
- 19:25Speaker 12: to call it because they be the first ones with it.
- 19:28Speaker 4: Well, what's the mall of the story, sir, Because we
- 19:30Speaker 4: don't have that on the line.
- 19:35Speaker 12: You know, it ain't that many people out there that's
- 19:37Speaker 12: willing to do that, right.
- 19:38Speaker 10: The moral of the story to me is nothing. It's
- 19:40Speaker 10: just like people doing what they gotta do to survive.
- 19:42Speaker 10: Judging nobody.
- 19:44Speaker 6: I think what you know? That new survey says a lot.
- 19:46Speaker 10: It says a lot about where the economy is, and
- 19:48Speaker 10: you know, people are literally doing what they got to
- 19:51Speaker 10: do to get by.
- 19:51Speaker 3: So I get it.
- 19:52Speaker 6: I understand.
- 19:53Speaker 17: Yeah, I just always worry about the safety issue, right
- 19:55Speaker 17: because you don't know who you're living with, you don't
- 19:57Speaker 17: know you know where they came.
- 19:59Speaker 4: From or intentions all. So that's the scary part about it.
- 20:02Speaker 12: You know, got mental illness and all this type of stuff.
- 20:05Speaker 6: You just never know be thieving, that's true.
- 20:09Speaker 4: Just imagine living with Jess.
- 20:11Speaker 6: Imagine with me.
- 20:12Speaker 12: It's like living in paradise.
- 20:13Speaker 4: The baby.

- 21:57Speaker 11: anything to him. He knew he was in the studio
- 22:00Speaker 11: with me. You know, he's the one that suggested j
- 22:03Speaker 11: I D. He's the one that suggested Tara Wack. You know,
- 22:07Speaker 11: he's been a part of the whole process.
- 22:11Speaker 18: He is.
- 22:11Speaker 11: He is an A and R. Absolutely, We'll see what

- 22:28Speaker 11: I could do. You know how I can help out
- 22:30Speaker 11: with the thing?
- 22:30Speaker 4: Does he know how special his mom is and how
- 22:32Speaker 4: powerful his mom is?
- 22:33Speaker 11: Well, he loves me, you know, like whether I do
- 22:37Speaker 11: well or if I you know what I have or
- 22:40Speaker 11: don't have? He he loves me. You know, we love
- 22:43Speaker 11: each other.
- 22:43Speaker 6: Yeah, You're special and powerful to him in ways that
- 22:46Speaker 6: we would never understand. He was his mom.
- 22:48Speaker 11: I love him, I appreciate him, I respect him. Try
- 22:52Speaker 11: to help him in any dream that he has. And
- 22:55Speaker 11: I don't even know what that don't even mean, I
- 22:57Speaker 11: don't know. I don't care. As long as he's happy
- 23:01Speaker 11: and he can take care of himself financially, that matters
- 23:06Speaker 11: to us. I'm straight, like he's a good Person's so funny,
- 23:12Speaker 11: he's cool. So I'm glad. He suggested j I d
- 23:16Speaker 11: I was. We listened to him, you know, like, this
- 23:18Speaker 11: is our music in the kitchen, this is what Jet
- 23:21Speaker 11: and I do when we have time together. And he said, Mom,
- 23:25Speaker 11: why don't you call j ID? And I was like,
- 23:27Speaker 11: I don't know him yet, and.
- 23:29Speaker 4: He's like, just DM, and that's what you did.
- 23:33Speaker 11: Yeah, And it's like minutes later he texted back, like
- 23:36Speaker 11: what's up, queen. What you want now? What you want
- 23:38Speaker 11: to do? And I was like, well, he said, send it,
- 23:42Speaker 11: and within twenty four hours he sent his verse back.
- 23:45Speaker 6: Wow.
- 23:45Speaker 11: And when I tell you, I asked him specifically, I said,
- 23:49Speaker 11: I need you to paint a picture with words. This
- 23:53Speaker 11: is what I require of the MC's that I love
- 23:56Speaker 11: and the MC's that I put on my projects. I
- 23:58Speaker 11: need you to paint pictures less than twenty four hours
- 24:02Speaker 11: bars you could see it you could taste it. He
- 24:06Speaker 11: painted brilliant. So proud of him and so happy that
- 24:10Speaker 11: he's on my project.
- 24:11Speaker 6: So what made you put a soul on old to Niki?
- 24:14Speaker 10: Because I feel like Old NICKI would have been such
- 24:15Speaker 10: a personal record to you that you want to keep
- 24:17Speaker 10: that to yourself?
- 24:18Speaker 6: What mean you you out?
- 24:19Speaker 11: So because Nikki Giovanni inspired writers, she inspired her inspired poets,
- 24:26Speaker 11: and a soul is an il emc.
- 24:29Speaker 6: Absolutely, he's he's.
- 24:31Speaker 11: So thought provoking. I have to go back and listen
- 24:35Speaker 11: again and again, and then I pull out books and
- 24:37Speaker 11: you know, I pick up Wikipedia or whatever, you know
- 24:40Speaker 11: to find out exactly what he's talking about, because he's
- 24:43Speaker 11: he's that thoughtful, he's that prolific. He's he's had quite
- 24:47Speaker 11: a life experience and it represents in his writing deeply.
- 24:52Speaker 11: So I when I did old to Nicki, She's the
- 24:55Speaker 11: first poet that I ever found out about at school,
- 24:59Speaker 11: black black woman, and it was just awesome to see
- 25:05Speaker 11: myself on paper like that, my people, my neighborhood, you know,
- 25:10Speaker 11: my love on paper. So when I did Old to Nikki,
- 25:15Speaker 11: shit just passed. Apisoutes seemed like the right guy to me.
- 25:19Speaker 6: I mean, you know, he sounds great on it.
- 25:21Speaker 11: He does sound great.
- 25:22Speaker 10: Well, I just wanted to know the meaning because I'm like,
- 25:24Speaker 10: that's a big compliment for Absol.
- 25:25Speaker 11: Because we spent a lot of time talking. We clicked
- 25:28Speaker 11: really easily. So we talked about the Celestine prophecy like
- 25:31Speaker 11: within minutes of just talking to each other and moved
- 25:36Speaker 11: on from there. So yeah, he was the right person.
- 25:40Speaker 4: For me to choose.
- 25:41Speaker 8: So you look so happy, like, you look so glowing.
- 25:44Speaker 4: I've been watching your rollout right.
- 25:45Speaker 17: I seen you with a demo, and I've seen you
- 25:47Speaker 17: do a lot of pressing. You just look and feel
- 25:49Speaker 17: like a positive vibe.
- 25:51Speaker 11: I feel good. I did something that I really wanted
- 25:54Speaker 11: to do and it means a lot to me, and
- 25:58Speaker 11: I have an opportunity to share it and perform it
- 26:00Speaker 11: in front of people that will be looking at me
- 26:03Speaker 11: like I look at them, and I get a chance
- 26:06Speaker 11: to travel some more and make some money.
- 26:08Speaker 9: You know.
- 26:09Speaker 17: But you even, like, even when I see you're blushing,
- 26:12Speaker 17: it's like it's like your overly loved.
- 26:14Speaker 8: I love it.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I love it.
- 26:15Speaker 17: Even when you got here this morning, you were you said,
- 26:17Speaker 17: what time do you guys get here in the morning,
- 26:18Speaker 17: But you were smiling and happy about it, like I
- 26:21Speaker 17: love it, and I love to see artists like that
- 26:22Speaker 17: that loved the craft. You could tell when the artist
- 26:24Speaker 17: has to do something for money, or when the artist
- 26:26Speaker 17: has to do something because the label is requiring or
- 26:28Speaker 17: management required, and then you can tell when somebody just
- 26:30Speaker 17: loves putting.
- 26:32Speaker 6: Every ten years, she doesn't do anything because the label
- 26:34Speaker 6: wants her.
- 26:34Speaker 4: To tell the difference.
- 26:37Speaker 19: Even your rollout felt like a hug, like I saw
- 26:39Speaker 19: you you were from Gillian Wallow, then I saw you
- 26:42Speaker 19: on Angie Martinez. Then eventually you started doing like you
- 26:44Speaker 19: were posting like the letters on your Instagram and kind
- 26:47Speaker 19: of explaining the project, and I'm like, this just feels
- 26:49Speaker 19: like I'm being ushered into like a whole new world
- 26:52Speaker 19: of things.
- 26:52Speaker 11: That was the plan. I have a new publicist. I
- 26:56Speaker 11: think she's absolutely wonderful. Her name was Erica Trucker Tucker.
- 27:00Speaker 11: Forgive me. I think she's fantastic. But we had a
- 27:06Speaker 11: whole other idea. Like two days before we started doing
- 27:09Speaker 11: the rollout. Two days before I just was like, hold on,
- 27:13Speaker 11: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, we're talking
- 27:15Speaker 11: about beautiful people. If we're gonna put beautiful people out
- 27:18Speaker 11: as an introduction to the album, because really that's who
- 27:22Speaker 11: I'm calling. I'm calling the people that that light up
- 27:26Speaker 11: from the inside, you know that that love love, yeah,
- 27:31Speaker 11: love love, that are again financially respectful to their lives.
- 27:43Speaker 11: Makes sense, m okay. And so if that's the if
- 27:48Speaker 11: that's the intention is this is the call out, Well,
- 27:50Speaker 11: let me represent the people that have been so beautiful
- 27:53Speaker 11: in helping me with this project. You know, it's all
- 27:56Speaker 11: been organic. I met a guy at a party. He
- 27:59Speaker 11: was like, I'm too short, engineer, and I was like,
- 28:04Speaker 11: I believe you.
- 28:06Speaker 6: That record that the church gonna be mad at you.
- 28:09Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's like part to a Possibly.
- 28:15Speaker 2: It's a church in the education system too though, right,
- 28:17Speaker 2: could you mentioned education in there as well?
- 28:19Speaker 11: Yes, I'm in the pharmaceutical and pharma.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Yeah you ain't.
- 28:24Speaker 6: I know you didn't lie. And even just the choice
- 28:27Speaker 6: to go get too short. They come on there and
- 28:29Speaker 6: describe pimping.
- 28:31Speaker 11: The mentality of a pimp.
- 28:33Speaker 3: What is it?
- 28:34Speaker 11: So so we're clear, I'm not saying anything. I'm not
- 28:37Speaker 11: trying to be mean to you. What I don't want
- 28:39Speaker 11: to be mean to somebody for it.
- 28:42Speaker 6: That's not it.
- 28:42Speaker 3: This is what it is. This is what it is.
- 28:46Speaker 11: And I have a thorough bred pimp to tell you.
- 28:49Speaker 11: So it feels like like the player's ball. It feels
- 28:55Speaker 11: like it's pimpy, it's it's a fayli. It's like rebel
- 29:00Speaker 11: solutionary at the same time, and I was like, Yeah, okay,
- 29:02Speaker 11: what am I gonna talk about? This is what I
- 29:04Speaker 11: want to say. I say, preacher man, what you're trying
- 29:07Speaker 11: to do trying to get this my name? Is that
- 29:12Speaker 11: all you do when my main got squat? But you
- 29:16Speaker 11: take that, Jill, when you ain't good for the people.
- 29:20Speaker 11: I ain't moved. Where's the universities? Where's all the food
- 29:25Speaker 11: for free?
- 29:27Speaker 4: People?
- 29:27Speaker 11: Can't fade the bells, but you're still riding around in
- 29:30Speaker 11: the Coopville biggest pimple the year.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Uh huh, all right, we got more with Jill Scott
- 29:39Speaker 4: when we come back.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Don't move.
- 29:40Speaker 4: It's the breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is needed.
- 29:45Speaker 17: Indeed, Jesseelaria, Chelamade and the God we are the breakfast Club.
- 29:48Speaker 4: Laura Laos is here as well. We're still kicking it
- 29:50Speaker 4: with Jill Scott. So if everything's a signed, do you
- 29:52Speaker 4: ever feel see a sign that says I'm not going
- 29:55Speaker 4: in that direction? Or I'm not going there. Well, management,
- 29:58Speaker 4: let's not do that, because that does not feel right.
- 30:01Speaker 11: It's not as easy. It's abrupt, it's harsh, it's a
- 30:06Speaker 11: it's a jerk back. And I haven't really no, I
- 30:09Speaker 11: don't know how to like navigate that part yet, but
- 30:11Speaker 11: I will. I will get I will get away. I
- 30:15Speaker 11: will get away. I've learned that too. And when the
- 30:18Speaker 11: spirit says no, when your whole energy says no, what
- 30:22Speaker 11: are you doing? Don't talk to this person. I remember
- 30:26Speaker 11: talking to somebody at a party and I was like,
- 30:28Speaker 11: why are you got covid all in my face? And
- 30:36Speaker 11: I got COVID.
- 30:37Speaker 10: I was like, see, girl, everything makes so much sense
- 30:42Speaker 10: now because you know, one of my favorite records on
- 30:44Speaker 10: the album is pay You on Tuesday, Right, And it's
- 30:46Speaker 10: so funny because my niece had put out a tweet
- 30:48Speaker 10: yesterday and she put af you Young Black and gifted
- 30:50Speaker 10: get away from Right, and I just thought that was hilarious,
- 30:54Speaker 10: and then I heard pay You on Tuesday.
- 30:56Speaker 6: But now I'm like, oh, she's staying away from the
- 30:59Speaker 6: poor me energy type. I mean, now that I hear
- 31:02Speaker 6: you talk about the book so much, I'm like, oh,
- 31:04Speaker 6: that's why she wrote.
- 31:05Speaker 11: That record part of it, part of it, part of it.
- 31:08Speaker 11: And I know I keep saying financial, but I am
- 31:10Speaker 11: really over us spending and buying things that we can't
- 31:15Speaker 11: afford for who, for what. It's so many things to do,
- 31:19Speaker 11: to taste, to see, places, to be like. I just what.
- 31:25Speaker 11: I just don't see how it profits us too.
- 31:28Speaker 22: You know.
- 31:29Speaker 11: I like nice stuff too, I really do. But I
- 31:32Speaker 11: buy the stuff that I can afford. And somebody else
- 31:35Speaker 11: was like, you could afford. You don't know what I could.
- 31:36Speaker 6: Afford, and you don't know what I want, But you accurate?
- 31:40Speaker 8: Wag I do?
- 31:43Speaker 22: I do?
- 31:44Speaker 6: I do?
- 31:45Speaker 11: I think it's a wise decision. I save properly. I invest.
- 31:50Speaker 11: I really want to switch out of this poverty mindset,
- 31:55Speaker 11: or the lacking mindset of some you know, my family,
- 32:00Speaker 11: break away from these things. I'm not interested in doing
- 32:03Speaker 11: that anymore. I want to crawl and I want to
- 32:07Speaker 11: make a whole lot of money, like a whole lot,
- 32:10Speaker 11: and I'm going to do great things with it. Enjoy it.
- 32:13Speaker 11: I already do enjoy the money I have. I do
- 32:15Speaker 11: dope on the regular, I really do. It's been it's
- 32:19Speaker 11: been so nice. Oh my god. You know, my son
- 32:23Speaker 11: went to Tanzania to get his school certification. Wow, I've
- 32:32Speaker 11: never been.
- 32:35Speaker 6: Beautiful.
- 32:36Speaker 11: I've never been but he has.
- 32:38Speaker 17: Like, yes, But that's the most important thing, right when
- 32:41Speaker 17: we get to a place where it's like none of
- 32:42Speaker 17: this matters. You just want your kids to be happy,
- 32:46Speaker 17: whatever it takes to be happy. Like I tell my
- 32:48Speaker 17: daughter my son, I don't care what you do. If
- 32:51Speaker 17: you want to do nails, if you want to do heir,
- 32:52Speaker 17: if you want to do sanitation. As long as you're happy,
- 32:54Speaker 17: life is too sure.
- 32:55Speaker 11: Joyful, happy is fleeting, joyful, joyful. Look for it. That's
- 33:02Speaker 11: an insight as well, to constantly look for the joy.
- 33:05Speaker 11: Taste of food, taste it, feel the water. It's nice
- 33:12Speaker 11: and it sparks creativity.
- 33:14Speaker 6: But I can't afford to eat that gel and I
- 33:16Speaker 6: can't afford to go there the swimming that water. So
- 33:17Speaker 6: can you layer me something.
- 33:21Speaker 11: I've learned this. If someone wants to borrow something from you,
- 33:24Speaker 11: you give them a job. If they do the job
- 33:28Speaker 11: and do the job well, then that you're showing me something.
- 33:32Speaker 11: I'm going to give you a small reimbursement contract. I'm
- 33:38Speaker 11: going to say twenty five dollars a month. Fair. Yes,
- 33:43Speaker 11: you don't pay the twenty five dollars. I don't know
- 33:45Speaker 11: how when it's going to stop. It's going to stop
- 33:47Speaker 11: if you're consistent. If you're consistent. If you're not consistent,
- 33:52Speaker 11: you never have to worry about me again. You never
- 33:55Speaker 11: have to ask me anything again, because this was a contract.
- 33:59Speaker 11: It didn't have any end interest. This was respect. So
- 34:04Speaker 11: I enjoy helping people, but I have to see what
- 34:07Speaker 11: they want. I have to see what they're doing. I
- 34:10Speaker 11: gotta see something. You gotta show me something. Can't just
- 34:13Speaker 11: tell me a dream.
- 34:14Speaker 19: Okay, when did you get to that point in your life?
- 34:17Speaker 19: Because I saw you talking to Angie Martinez about that
- 34:19Speaker 19: right and setting these boundaries. But then I also hear
- 34:21Speaker 19: you talk a lot about like you carry so much
- 34:23Speaker 19: for your family for a long time because you were
- 34:25Speaker 19: trying to, like y'all were trying to get out of
- 34:27Speaker 19: the situations that you guys were in. And I think
- 34:28Speaker 19: that there's like a sometimes there's like this tug of
- 34:31Speaker 19: war of like I'm able to help, so I want
- 34:34Speaker 19: to help, But at the same time, I got to
- 34:35Speaker 19: set these boundaries.
- 34:36Speaker 2: When did Jill Scott say I didn't did enough. I
- 34:39Speaker 2: gotta stop this now.
- 34:42Speaker 4: Now something had to happen.
- 34:44Speaker 11: I turned fifty and the light popped on again. Yeah,
- 34:50Speaker 11: that's what happened. Time creates wisdom, you know, if you're
- 34:55Speaker 11: paying attention. If you're not paying attention, it just creates age.
- 35:00Speaker 11: But yeah, I've been paying attention, and I know that
- 35:03Speaker 11: that doesn't make me feel good to watch people do
- 35:08Speaker 11: things that are outside of their particular space financial space,
- 35:15Speaker 11: like going on a cruise. Okay, you're going on a cruise,
- 35:18Speaker 11: but you didn't pay the mortgage. I can't help you
- 35:22Speaker 11: with that. I can, And the fact that you would
- 35:25Speaker 11: ask me to is ridiculous. You made a choice. That
- 35:31Speaker 11: is your choice. It wasn't like something happened like you know,
- 35:35Speaker 11: the car broke down, or you know the tuition is
- 35:38Speaker 11: behind or it's nothing like that. And even if tuition
- 35:41Speaker 11: is behind, how them grades, how they doing? What activities
- 35:47Speaker 11: are they in? Because it's mine and I can share
- 35:52Speaker 11: with you as I've seen fit and deem fit. It
- 35:55Speaker 11: might seem harsh, but I don't know it feels right
- 35:59Speaker 11: to me.
- 35:59Speaker 6: I feel bad.
- 36:00Speaker 11: I don't feel way down by people's stuff.
- 36:03Speaker 6: I don't think that's harsh.
- 36:04Speaker 10: And then also, what about when you give somebody money
- 36:06Speaker 10: for mortgage, but then you go see them on a
- 36:08Speaker 10: cruise after after they just.
- 36:09Speaker 11: Ask you, I didn't get invited to the cruise.
- 36:14Speaker 4: What is the Blues to you? That's his favorite song?
- 36:17Speaker 10: By the way, oh on No, I got a lot
- 36:22Speaker 10: of favorite records, but that record was hit for me
- 36:25Speaker 10: yesterday in a real way.
- 36:27Speaker 6: I got a lot of favorite record on that, but
- 36:28Speaker 6: that one really was.
- 36:30Speaker 8: Okay.
- 36:30Speaker 11: Music is medicinal. It'll hit you when you need it.
- 36:33Speaker 11: So what do you mean by it? Like, what what
- 36:35Speaker 11: does it do for you?
- 36:37Speaker 10: Man?
- 36:38Speaker 13: For me?
- 36:39Speaker 1: It?
- 36:39Speaker 10: Uh, it just put things in perspective based off what
- 36:42Speaker 10: you're saying, because you're saying a lot of that throughout
- 36:44Speaker 10: the song as you're singing. But it's also it's like,
- 36:45Speaker 10: I don't want no money to blues, putting your problems
- 36:48Speaker 10: on me. I can't wake up in the morning and
- 36:50Speaker 10: be good, and then by the end of the week
- 36:53Speaker 10: I'm feeling way down.
- 36:54Speaker 6: And then when you realize why you're way.
- 36:55Speaker 10: Down, it's because you're trying to help everybody else with
- 36:58Speaker 10: they I don't.
- 37:00Speaker 11: It's exhausting. Yes, it's exhausting. I love to inspire. I
- 37:05Speaker 11: want people to do better, but if they don't want
- 37:08Speaker 11: it what am I supposed to do? Just keep pouring
- 37:11Speaker 11: into an empty well. I can't do it. The things
- 37:15Speaker 11: that you do don't benefit you, so why do I
- 37:19Speaker 11: have to?
- 37:21Speaker 6: Damn?
- 37:22Speaker 11: That's a bar.
- 37:24Speaker 17: How we got more with Jill Scott. When we come back,
- 37:26Speaker 17: it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, and jes Hillary is
- 37:33Speaker 17: Charlamade the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Laura Rosters
- 37:36Speaker 17: here as well. We're still kicking it with Jill Scott, charl.
- 37:39Speaker 10: I wonder when you do records like pressure, when you
- 37:41Speaker 10: do records like me, for is that when you do
- 37:45Speaker 10: the actual record? Is that when the closure comes or
- 37:47Speaker 10: do you have closure before in order to.
- 37:49Speaker 5: Do the record.
- 37:50Speaker 11: I've never thought about it. I don't know if that
- 37:53Speaker 11: I'm looking for closure necessarily. I need to say it.
- 37:59Speaker 11: I need I need, I need to say it it
- 38:01Speaker 11: is true. I need to yeh, I get it out.
- 38:04Speaker 11: I think That's how I feel about that. Yeah. And
- 38:07Speaker 11: then when I listened to it, it becomes an affirmation
- 38:09Speaker 11: for me because I've said it, and I was like, yeah,
- 38:12Speaker 11: you said that, because that's that's what it is, That's
- 38:15Speaker 11: exactly what it is.
- 38:17Speaker 3: Yeah, you went too far.
- 38:18Speaker 4: It was like, let me take this out.
- 38:20Speaker 11: Man many many times, many times, many times. I typically
- 38:25Speaker 11: write the thing before I get into the studio so
- 38:28Speaker 11: I can find how it feels when I get in there,
- 38:32Speaker 11: or I already know how it feels. It wasn't something.
- 38:36Speaker 11: I don't know if I necessarily went too far, and
- 38:39Speaker 11: be clear, I just said something I probably shouldn't have said.
- 38:44Speaker 11: I don't know it was the right thing, And when
- 38:47Speaker 11: I listened to it, I'm like, yeah, that's right. You
- 38:49Speaker 11: know that was that was real there, But I probably
- 38:53Speaker 11: shouldn't have shared.
- 38:55Speaker 3: It this album.
- 38:57Speaker 22: Oh yeah, I did, said you married a bitch. Yes,
- 39:06Speaker 22: I got pretty self explanatory.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 39:09Speaker 11: I think I just needed to get to get stuff
- 39:11Speaker 11: out too. You know, music is healing for the artists
- 39:14Speaker 11: as well, supposed to be.
- 39:16Speaker 4: What's the moral compass with that? Is it yourself? Said?
- 39:18Speaker 13: Now?
- 39:19Speaker 4: Is it your son? Is it your homies?
- 39:22Speaker 3: Else?
- 39:23Speaker 11: I haven't had that. It didn't come up. Nobody said anything,
- 39:26Speaker 11: you know, and my son listens to everything and we
- 39:30Speaker 11: talk about everything. Yeah, so it didn't come Nobody said
- 39:35Speaker 11: he you probably should Nobody did not. I don't know
- 39:39Speaker 11: if I would agree or disagree about it. Did you
- 39:42Speaker 11: see how everybody's going crazy about squeezing my meat. It's
- 39:47Speaker 11: a song called Don't Play Right.
- 39:50Speaker 6: I didn't se people going crazy, Oh boy, I did.
- 39:53Speaker 11: They were like, squeeze my meat, she said, squeez.
- 40:04Speaker 20: I was like, I did.
- 40:05Speaker 19: You got used to that for you yet at this
- 40:07Speaker 19: point it's a new generation of people who just be
- 40:10Speaker 19: on Twitter.
- 40:11Speaker 11: I'm just I'm just confused. Maybe you all can help
- 40:14Speaker 11: me out here, because I would love to know. I've
- 40:17Speaker 11: heard lyrics that way worse.
- 40:21Speaker 6: Live on money, like on the cop they're singing about
- 40:24Speaker 6: eating I heard.
- 40:29Speaker 3: I heard.
- 40:29Speaker 11: I listened to a lot of music, and because I
- 40:33Speaker 11: listened to a lot of music, I was just like,
- 40:35Speaker 11: what exactly is so radical about squeeze my meat? No,
- 40:43Speaker 11: but what but beside being a fan or not, like,
- 40:45Speaker 11: what's radical about that? I just thought I'm missing something.
- 40:48Speaker 10: Probably way when it was, you know, because it sounds amazing,
- 40:51Speaker 10: so you might be just randomly find yourself singing it
- 40:54Speaker 10: even as a guy, you know what I mean.
- 40:55Speaker 19: I also think I think it's too like with the
- 40:58Speaker 19: new generation, they get it different ways, Like.
- 41:05Speaker 10: At some point at the end of the spirit of
- 41:07Speaker 10: more meat and I'll just be coming around the corner
- 41:09Speaker 10: squeeze my meat.
- 41:10Speaker 4: You better never sing that if you're in the bathroom
- 41:12Speaker 4: with me.
- 41:12Speaker 3: Bro All.
- 41:15Speaker 11: I think it's the fact that you got to say
- 41:17Speaker 11: squeeze like.
- 41:20Speaker 3: They said it was.
- 41:21Speaker 2: They was deeming the big Areola music.
- 41:24Speaker 11: I heard that too. Yeah, I would say yeah.
- 41:28Speaker 19: Because basically, if you don't know what to do with it,
- 41:29Speaker 19: don't come over here. That's the conversation. And I think
- 41:32Speaker 19: it's just right now. In music, you either get stuff
- 41:36Speaker 19: like that very straightfor forward to the point where it's
- 41:39Speaker 19: not sensual, and that has always been you to be
- 41:41Speaker 19: able to communicate those type of things in a very
- 41:43Speaker 19: unique way, right. But there is a new generation of
- 41:46Speaker 19: like creators and artists who are listening to this and
- 41:50Speaker 19: discovering your ability for the first time, and they just
- 41:53Speaker 19: think it's so powerful and forward, and I'm like, welcome.
- 41:56Speaker 10: That's like people like that. It's like I hate people
- 42:00Speaker 10: that I don't want to have to I don't want
- 42:02Speaker 10: to catch up with you. Okay, Like we over here
- 42:04Speaker 10: celebrating Jill Scott because of who Jill Scott always has been.
- 42:08Speaker 6: I don't have time to explain it.
- 42:09Speaker 4: You'll get there.
- 42:10Speaker 6: The greatness of Jill Scott. You know, ketch up in
- 42:11Speaker 6: your own time.
- 42:13Speaker 4: Fair enough, They'll get there up in your own time, right,
- 42:15Speaker 4: I gotta explain it.
- 42:16Speaker 11: They'll get there, life will happen, and then there all
- 42:19Speaker 11: be your love and ninety with so many stories to tell,
- 42:24Speaker 11: so many life experiences to share, so many lessons learned,
- 42:29Speaker 11: so much music.
- 42:31Speaker 6: My last question, when it's all said and done, what
- 42:32Speaker 6: does piece look like? For Jill Scott? And did this
- 42:36Speaker 6: album bring you closer to whatever that is?
- 42:39Speaker 11: Life is bringing me closer to my piece? And my
- 42:46Speaker 11: kid doing well for himself, and my mother living so
- 42:52Speaker 11: comfortably and she's happy. My my private my personal life,
- 43:00Speaker 11: it's solid. I love my home, I love my friends.
- 43:05Speaker 11: I have beautiful friends, y'all. You were with them, anybody
- 43:09Speaker 11: would like. They're so so, so many levels of it.
- 43:14Speaker 11: It's not a lot of them, but they're powerful. I'm
- 43:17Speaker 11: I'm you know. I say you say you're happy, you
- 43:21Speaker 11: say it joyful, and people get upset about it.
- 43:25Speaker 12: I feel sorry for.
- 43:26Speaker 8: That for you.
- 43:27Speaker 2: People upset about you saying it.
- 43:29Speaker 11: People are upset about other people feeling joy and being happy. Yes,
- 43:34Speaker 11: they do it all the time. I see it. Yes, yeah,
- 43:40Speaker 11: I don't know what it is. I don't care what
- 43:43Speaker 11: it is. It's not my bag to carry. I'm gonna
- 43:47Speaker 11: let this little light of mind shine.
- 43:50Speaker 6: And that light gonna irritate some demons and others.
- 43:52Speaker 11: You see what I'm That's what I'm saying. That's what
- 43:55Speaker 11: I'm saying. I have a forest field.
- 43:57Speaker 22: I put it on.
- 43:59Speaker 11: It goes under my feet, above my head anytime I
- 44:01Speaker 11: think about it, or I just put my force field
- 44:04Speaker 11: on and I walk through my life. We're superheroes. We
- 44:07Speaker 11: can do really anything. We want, anything, we can imagine.
- 44:11Speaker 11: You just need the power to do it. The power

- 47:22Speaker 10: Brian McKinnon.
- 47:23Speaker 6: Now Brian is going to prison ladies and gettlemen.
- 47:26Speaker 10: Okay, that's why The New York Post referred to him
- 47:28Speaker 10: as disgraced real estate attorney Brian McKenna. He's sixty two
- 47:31Speaker 10: years old and he's going to prison for up to
- 47:34Speaker 10: six years. Why what do men usually risk it all
- 47:37Speaker 10: for that poom poom? Okay, that kitty, that undercarriage, that cookie,
- 47:43Speaker 10: that penis fly trap. Yes, Brian McKenna is being accused
- 47:46Speaker 10: of stealing four point four million dollars intended for COVID
- 47:50Speaker 10: protective gear, allegedly the funder romance with his then girlfriend.
- 47:54Speaker 10: Oh the power of the p us. I can't spell
- 47:57Speaker 10: the rest. Would you like to hear his reaction in
- 47:59Speaker 10: the court Listen, I did this.
- 48:02Speaker 5: I deserve I don't know who, I understand.
- 48:09Speaker 3: I really appreciated response, but ultimately.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Sir bur right.
- 48:19Speaker 10: Now, there's so many things that discussed me about this story.
- 48:22Speaker 10: Number one, you stole all this money from people who
- 48:24Speaker 10: needed it. Okay, Folks needed that COVID protective gear during
- 48:28Speaker 10: COVID and.
- 48:28Speaker 3: You just stole it.
- 48:29Speaker 10: Okay, you just stole the money for it, all right,
- 48:31Speaker 10: a man who didn't need it. Okay, you're a lawyer.
- 48:34Speaker 10: You sixty two years old, Brian, So you were in
- 48:36Speaker 10: your fifties when you came up with this game. Because
- 48:38Speaker 10: what COVID was six years ago. Okay, I don't understand
- 48:42Speaker 10: people who literally have the world in their hands. You
- 48:45Speaker 10: have worked hard to become an attorney in this country, Okay, You,
- 48:49Speaker 10: more than a lot of people.
- 48:50Speaker 6: Understand the process of life. You understand life is a process. Okay.
- 48:54Speaker 6: Becoming a lawyer takes at least seven years of full
- 48:58Speaker 6: time higher education in this country, all right, four years
- 49:01Speaker 6: for a bachelor's degree, three years of law school. You
- 49:03Speaker 6: have to pass the bar exam. They got a baby
- 49:06Speaker 6: bar and the big bar.
- 49:07Speaker 10: My point is, it's not easy, and nothing in life
- 49:10Speaker 10: worth having ever is. But for some reason, you thought
- 49:13Speaker 10: you could cut the line. You thought you could take
- 49:15Speaker 10: a four point four million dollars short cut, all to
- 49:17Speaker 10: impress a woman who already has her own money. He
- 49:23Speaker 10: was dating the then CEO of Aston's Group. Her name
- 49:27Speaker 10: was Dounie Zay. Okay, that's according to the New York Post.
- 49:30Speaker 10: I don't know how much she was making, but if
- 49:32Speaker 10: she was the CEO of a company, she was touching
- 49:34Speaker 10: some paper. So I don't know why you went out
- 49:36Speaker 10: of your way, Brian, to impress her. And I don't
- 49:38Speaker 10: even like that phrase. Fund the romance you don't fund
- 49:44Speaker 10: the romance. Romance happens because the physical attraction, emotional connection,
- 49:49Speaker 10: situational factors. Okay, y'all might just match energies, all right,
- 49:52Speaker 10: you like the same things, share the same beliefs, and
- 49:55Speaker 10: let's not forget the most important part, reciprocal liking.
- 50:00Speaker 6: Okay, you like me, I like you. Romance can't be funded.
- 50:04Speaker 3: Now.
- 50:04Speaker 10: You can go buy some pink taco with some money,
- 50:06Speaker 10: all right, go to the bottle pull up in certain
- 50:08Speaker 10: counties out of brothel and you can purchase as much
- 50:11Speaker 10: as that.
- 50:11Speaker 6: Harry Potter as you want. But funding a romance, nah,
- 50:16Speaker 6: I don't.
- 50:16Speaker 10: Even want no romance that's fundy because there's no such thing.
- 50:19Speaker 10: You can't buy a love food. Now, Brian was in
- 50:21Speaker 10: the courtroom crying his ass off. I want you to
- 50:23Speaker 10: hear this again, man, just listen.
- 50:25Speaker 8: I did.
- 50:29Speaker 16: So.
- 50:32Speaker 5: I understand. I really appreciate you taking response.
- 50:37Speaker 14: But ultimately, sir, why.
- 50:43Speaker 6: Ultimately what? Ultimately what?
- 50:46Speaker 10: He is going to jail for six years? I respect
- 50:48Speaker 10: that he's holding himself accountable. Okay, he said he did
- 50:51Speaker 10: these crimes. He said he deserves to.
- 50:53Speaker 8: Go to jail.
- 50:53Speaker 10: Now, his defense lawyer, Eric Franz, claimed to the court
- 50:56Speaker 10: that Brian had run into financial struggles and that he
- 50:59Speaker 10: was just trying to help his family with the stolen funds.
- 51:01Speaker 10: With assistant da Jonathan Borrow alleged that Brian stole the
- 51:05Speaker 10: money to spend on himself and his galpal doing he's
- 51:08Speaker 10: in they listen, neither one of those valid reasons. So
- 51:11Speaker 10: many people are having financial struggles, and sadly they don't
- 51:13Speaker 10: have the luxury of resorting the crime to get it. Okay,
- 51:16Speaker 10: and you, Brian, were in a privileged position already, not
- 51:20Speaker 10: just the privileged position to get money because you were
- 51:22Speaker 10: a lawyer, you know what I'm saying, but also a
- 51:25Speaker 10: Manhattan real estate attorney should be able to get his
- 51:28Speaker 10: hands on some happy clam but nope, instead you gotta
- 51:32Speaker 10: guard your balloon, not for the next six years in
- 51:34Speaker 10: somebody's prison.
- 51:35Speaker 6: Okay, probably get ass warts and for what.
- 51:40Speaker 10: The moral of the story is, life is a matter
- 51:42Speaker 10: of choices, and every choice you make makes you Please
- 51:45Speaker 10: give Brian McKinnon the sweetest, he the big the sweetest,
- 51:49Speaker 10: the sweet south of the Hamilton's.
- 51:50Speaker 6: That's what I want.
- 51:52Speaker 20: Dog the day, oh gee, all the day yee.
- 52:07Speaker 10: I started to say, give Brian mckinna a Swedish heat hall.
- 52:11Speaker 10: But that sounds like something you can pressure a lot
- 52:13Speaker 10: of brockel in the bottom.
- 52:14Speaker 5: All right, don't move.
- 52:16Speaker 4: It's the Breakfast Club.
- 52:17Speaker 5: Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

- 53:00Speaker 1: elevated I was like, okay. It was like they had
- 53:03Speaker 1: on their little quarter zips and everybody looking like they
- 53:07Speaker 1: looking like little business people. I thought, okay, I was
- 53:10Speaker 1: expecting it. You know, if you got like how many kids,
- 53:13Speaker 1: like I said, it would have been crowded.
- 53:17Speaker 6: Yeah, so that comedy I got.
- 53:19Speaker 8: Okay.
- 53:20Speaker 3: So that's that's that's American right there.
- 53:23Speaker 6: That's so that's gonna change now anyway.
- 53:33Speaker 3: Yeah, how you're feeling, brother, feeling good man?
- 53:37Speaker 8: Been in the city, chilling, man, I've been, uh, you know,
- 53:40Speaker 8: here doing Broadway.
- 53:41Speaker 1: So I've been like here through the blizzards and and
- 53:44Speaker 1: now the weather is starting to break a little bit.
- 53:46Speaker 8: But it changes like from day to day though. That's
- 53:48Speaker 8: what New York was like.
- 53:50Speaker 1: One day you had your little nice little shirt, short
- 53:53Speaker 1: sleeve on, and by the time that the night come,
- 53:56Speaker 1: you need to.
- 53:59Speaker 3: Crazy, i mean scarfed up, barring people closed. I'm like,
- 54:02Speaker 3: let me get that jacket from me.
- 54:03Speaker 17: So what got you back in the Broadway Between all
- 54:05Speaker 17: of you know, the comedy specials, you being on the road,
- 54:07Speaker 17: the movies, what made you say, you know what, let
- 54:09Speaker 17: me sit down for a minute and just focus on bros.
- 54:11Speaker 16: This.
- 54:11Speaker 3: It was a good transition, man.
- 54:12Speaker 1: You know, after doing the sitcom for eight seasons, so
- 54:15Speaker 1: you know, we did the Neighborhood, it wrapped up and
- 54:17Speaker 1: eight season. That's a blessing, man. But you know, I
- 54:19Speaker 1: wanted to do something different. I didn't really want to
- 54:21Speaker 1: be another TV dad or just kind of go straight
- 54:23Speaker 1: to that. And the opportunity to do Broadway was gonna
- 54:27Speaker 1: be you know, just one of these places where you
- 54:30Speaker 1: get to try your real acting. Chops you on this
- 54:32Speaker 1: stage once they once some lights come up.
- 54:34Speaker 3: You out there.
- 54:35Speaker 1: You know this is this is you know, this is
- 54:38Speaker 1: the dojo for real actors. This is where they go
- 54:41Speaker 1: to work and get stronger. And so, uh it was
- 54:44Speaker 1: a blessing.
- 54:44Speaker 8: Man. I ran into Debbie Allen last year.
- 54:46Speaker 1: I come to see Othello in South Denzel and knew
- 54:51Speaker 1: he was doing all these August Wilson plays just kind
- 54:53Speaker 1: of you know, spoken into existence, really manifested it. So
- 54:57Speaker 1: then I saw Debbie and Debbie Allen and then she
- 55:00Speaker 1: called me, and uh, you know it was it.
- 55:02Speaker 3: Was just it lined up perfectly.
- 55:05Speaker 1: The time, the timing from when we were wrapping the
- 55:07Speaker 1: Neighborhood to when they was gonna start this was perfect.
- 55:10Speaker 1: So it's been and it's been great. Man, it's been
- 55:13Speaker 1: a great transition. I want you to come see it.
- 55:14Speaker 1: If anybody you know, no, no, this is real. This
- 55:19Speaker 1: is August Wilson's Joe Turns coming Gone.
- 55:25Speaker 3: Man.
- 55:26Speaker 1: August Wilson was a great American African American play right,
- 55:28Speaker 1: great play right period though. But he's got you know,
- 55:31Speaker 1: shows like Fences and my Raimi's black Bottom and all
- 55:35Speaker 1: these Denzel is as a committed to do all of
- 55:38Speaker 1: them as a film, So he'll we'll do the plays
- 55:42Speaker 1: and then they'll make a movie out of it. And so, uh,
- 55:44Speaker 1: that's been that's been a blessing. But no, it's it's
- 55:47Speaker 1: it's serious work. And then you know Taraji's co starring,
- 55:50Speaker 1: and uh and we got Ruben Santiago Hudson, Joshua Boone
- 55:56Speaker 1: and some dope people in here.
- 55:57Speaker 10: It's bad when you think about this play right coming gone,
- 56:00Speaker 10: did you feel pressure walking into that legacy or did
- 56:03Speaker 10: you walk in like I'm Saturday to entertained?
- 56:05Speaker 3: I got it?
- 56:06Speaker 1: No, man, I mean, you know it's one of those
- 56:08Speaker 1: things that you know, you you definitely don't want to take,
- 56:10Speaker 1: you know, for granted, Like, yeah, just your fame is
- 56:12Speaker 1: gonna work in this space.
- 56:13Speaker 3: Right because this is like Sincere Broadway.
- 56:17Speaker 1: You know, it's the big time you you on the
- 56:20Speaker 1: floor seats of acting as far as what you know,
- 56:22Speaker 1: what the world sees, right, and so.
- 56:25Speaker 3: You know, you you're you got to come in there
- 56:27Speaker 3: and hold it down.
- 56:28Speaker 1: And you know that this other like Tony Award winning
- 56:30Speaker 1: people into play, including you know, working for Debbie Allen
- 56:34Speaker 1: you know, she ain't get ready.
- 56:35Speaker 8: To play no games.
- 56:36Speaker 1: So it's just it was the one where I wanted
- 56:39Speaker 1: to be prepared, and I came in after doing the Neighborhood.
- 56:42Speaker 1: So I literally finished the Neighborhood on Tuesday and had
- 56:45Speaker 1: to be here Sunday, and so I felt like I
- 56:48Speaker 1: was behind, Like you know, actors was kind of off
- 56:50Speaker 1: book already and I'm still in there liking rehearsals. Like so,
- 56:54Speaker 1: I was a little nervous for a while. But Debbie,
- 56:56Speaker 1: she just got me. She was like, look, you good,
- 56:59Speaker 1: just keep working, keep working. We got the time, Just
- 57:02Speaker 1: keep working.
- 57:02Speaker 3: You good. I was like, all right, because it is intimidating.
- 57:05Speaker 1: You do feel like, you know, all these you know,
- 57:09Speaker 1: high level actors, like being in the scene with Denzel
- 57:12Speaker 1: or somebody.
- 57:12Speaker 8: You know, you'd be like, what am I gonna be?
- 57:14Speaker 8: Really hold this down? You know what I'm saying.
- 57:17Speaker 6: So but I trust it, though, you know, how do
- 57:19Speaker 6: you get somebody to feel something serious? Though? As soon
- 57:22Speaker 6: as you.
- 57:22Speaker 10: Walk on, I might just laugh because it's said, like,
- 57:25Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying, disposition, You know a deposition.
- 57:36Speaker 3: Let me talk to my lawyer.
- 57:43Speaker 6: Your disposition is just funny when you're walking around.
- 57:45Speaker 1: It's so true though, man, and I think you know,
- 57:47Speaker 1: it kind of happens too with the audience, like you
- 57:49Speaker 1: know right away when they see me. It's just this
- 57:52Speaker 1: idea that and you know, and so you know, Debbie
- 57:55Speaker 1: actually encouraged it. So I don't play away from the
- 57:58Speaker 1: fact that I make people laugh. But the character is
- 58:02Speaker 1: this sincere guy, you know, Seth Holly. He owns he
- 58:06Speaker 1: owns a boarding house in nineteen eleven. So all the
- 58:11Speaker 1: people are kind of the great migration, people coming up
- 58:14Speaker 1: from the South coming north Way in Pittsburgh, and it's
- 58:17Speaker 1: about people coming transition and trying to find their life,
- 58:20Speaker 1: find their footing, find where they're going.
- 58:23Speaker 3: And so I own this boarding house.
- 58:25Speaker 1: So I just played them as like one of them
- 58:27Speaker 1: og you know, uncle grandfathers, you know, and they funny
- 58:32Speaker 1: even though they serious. So you so once you see
- 58:34Speaker 1: me like like locking to the role, you'll understand the
- 58:38Speaker 1: serious parts and then you'll get But I kind of
- 58:40Speaker 1: did that in Barbershop too, Like it's moments in the
- 58:42Speaker 1: in Barbershop movie where I'm really sincere and you you
- 58:46Speaker 1: can believe it, and then as opposed to like the
- 58:48Speaker 1: moments where I'm just telling jokes. So this is more that,
- 58:51Speaker 1: it's more like the sincere of the character. But I
- 58:54Speaker 1: have an opportunity to be myself and to let people laugh,
- 58:57Speaker 1: and I didn't get to do that in the American Buffalo.
- 59:00Speaker 1: The first time I did Broadway, it was all serious.
- 59:03Speaker 1: It was David Mannon, and I remember my audience would
- 59:05Speaker 1: want to laugh at things that wasn't funny, but they
- 59:08Speaker 1: just needed that release because it was me.
- 59:10Speaker 3: They was like, that's.
- 59:11Speaker 6: Crazy like that.
- 59:12Speaker 8: I didn't say nothing.
- 59:14Speaker 4: The schedule, you know, I mean, you're doing eight shows.
- 59:18Speaker 3: Eight shows a week.
- 59:19Speaker 1: You do one Tuesday, two Wednesday, one Thursday, one Friday,
- 59:25Speaker 1: two Saturday, and one Sunday.
- 59:27Speaker 8: So it's a it's a grind.
- 59:28Speaker 1: You got one day off, so Monday Mondays is the
- 59:31Speaker 1: only day off, and you got to try to get
- 59:33Speaker 1: it all in whatever, you know, your relaxation, your bills,
- 59:37Speaker 1: pay your doctor visits, everything got to happen on that Monday.
- 59:40Speaker 1: So yeah, you got a rest. Yeah, because I mean
- 59:44Speaker 1: when you're doing these shows, you know, you do have
- 59:46Speaker 1: to project. They have you miked up a little bit.
- 59:48Speaker 1: I think it's more, uh, you know, more modern than
- 59:50Speaker 1: it used to be. The old way where you add
- 59:52Speaker 1: them like project everywhere, but you are miked up. But
- 59:55Speaker 1: still it's important to let the back of that thea
- 59:58Speaker 1: to hear your voice right and so oh you can't
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: really count on the microphone, so it is an opportunity.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: So we do all these little warm up exercises and
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: stuff like that to kind of keep yourself uh where
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: you know, where you.

- 1:02:29Speaker 3: Everybody playing golf, Like, oh, buddy, lot Man.
- 1:02:35Speaker 10: You know, it's funny because you talk about the money
- 1:02:38Speaker 10: you're not making with Broadway, But I don't know if
- 1:02:41Speaker 10: we understand what you just did with The Neighborhood.
- 1:02:44Speaker 16: No.
- 1:02:45Speaker 10: One hundred and fifty six episodes. I think the last
- 1:02:48Speaker 10: episode is next month, right, Yeah, it'll.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: Be Yeah, the last episodes will come on next month. Yeah,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: I think the last few. And uh man, it was
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: that's that's a blessing because you know, like I did.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: We did five seeds on Steve Harvey, five seasons on
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: soul Man, and then eight on A Neighborhood.
- 1:03:06Speaker 6: Respect respect all of those. This is a little different.
- 1:03:09Speaker 6: This is.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's one of those things that you know,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: we had a great time doing the show. I mean,
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: you know, of course, to Sena Arnold, legendary, every show
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: she been on, being crazy, Max greenfelt amazing, Beth Bear,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: the whole cast was just so and we enjoyed each
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: other so much.
- 1:03:30Speaker 8: Man.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: So it was one of those shows you really didn't
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: want to see come to an end. But you know,
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: you you also get it too, like it just sometimes
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: it's just like all right, cool. We but we felt
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: like we could have told more stories forever, Like you know,
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: I had a great writing staff.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: I thought there was supposed to be a plan spin off,
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: you know, we had.
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: Two that that didn't work.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: We did. We spent off with We spent off with
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan. We had to show Crutch that was gonna
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: be on Paramount Plus. We shot eight of those with
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Tracy had as the New York version of my character,
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: like it was dope with his adult kids moved back home.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: And then we had we shot on with the.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: Boys, my two sons where they had their own life,
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: and they decided not to go forward with it. And
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: so it was one of those things that we did,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: like you know really economically, you know, it was like
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: trying to do something for a budget because it was
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: during that time where CBS was up for sale and
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: it was all that you know, it was lawsuits and
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: the president was sueing them. It was crazy, man. So
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: you know, they just didn't They were really nervous about
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: moving forward on anything like that, you know, where it
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: was going to cost them money. So so it was
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: one of them kind of situations where the politics of it.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: I feel like hurt that. But this show should have
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: had the spinoff. Like when you think about a show
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: that's that successful in eight years, they should have it
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: should have been at least another show that ran for
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: a while and we tried a couple of different versions
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: but it never worked. So yeah, and then doing something
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: after Young Sheldon, you know. So uh, it's a couple
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: of them that that kind of spend like that. But
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: you know, it's been The execs over on the CBS
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: side been great.
- 1:05:08Speaker 7: Man.
- 1:05:08Speaker 8: We've been having to you know, we've been talking trying
- 1:05:10Speaker 8: to figure out something else to do.
- 1:05:11Speaker 10: So you know, I want to ask you, like, you're
- 1:05:13Speaker 10: a comedian, right, and there's certain things I know comedians
- 1:05:15Speaker 10: want to check off their list.
- 1:05:17Speaker 6: Having a hit sitcom is one of them.
- 1:05:18Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:05:19Speaker 10: Man, when you look at the Neighborhood, you say yourself,
- 1:05:21Speaker 10: you say to yourself, Man, I did that, Oh.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: For sure, man, definitely.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: And you know, and we was able to executive produce
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: it and being you know, and be in control, like
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: I was able to like be in control of the show,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: like I can say what happened and what didn't go
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: and all these kind of things, and you know, part
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: of casting and all that so I definitely feel like,
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: you know, we checked that box, you know, and and
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: and really feel great about the show, like how it
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: represents you know, definitely a lot of aunties and you know,
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: I mean it's captured more and more because it's like,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: what's that traditional television.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: Yeah, it don't get quite like I didn't feel.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: It like when it was on, like it get that
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: love like back say, with Fresh Prints and everything, these
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: were the only shows you watch. But now we kind
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: of got like you know, we got like cable and
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: streaming and all these things that the neighborhood felt like, man,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: it's popular, but it didn't feel like when you walk out,
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: you get that crazy love.
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: But now in syndication it is.
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: It's crazy because I did when I did the view, Yes,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: the other day, they mentioned the neighborhood, and the crowd
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: screamed that they just caught me off guard because like,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: you know, when I walk around, you know, it's a
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: degree of like, you know, everybody been knowing me for
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: their whole life.
- 1:06:33Speaker 8: Like it's some day I realized, like, man, I've been
- 1:06:36Speaker 8: around a long time.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: But it's that that idea of the show being so
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: popular that it's it's a different kind of a you know,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: I guess that ear that you hear when people are like,
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: oh man, no, that's one of my favorite shows.
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: I like that.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: So I'm glad that, you know, that Syndication kind of
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: got into more people's homes because I think people just
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: didn't on a regular basis watch you know, like your
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: appointment TV, like when you to do with The Cosby
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: Show and stuff like that.
- 1:07:02Speaker 17: We got more with subject than entertaining. When we come back,
- 1:07:04Speaker 17: it's The Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club.
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: Everybody's dj MV just hilarious. Chel them and God we are.
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: The Breakfast Club is still kicking the subject to entertainer.
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: He's starring in Joe Turner's Come and Going Broadway play.
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: Charl Them said, you.
- 1:07:21Speaker 6: Did it right, man, Oh career, you've done everything the
- 1:07:26Speaker 6: right way.
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: Man, just keep you simple, and you know, I really
- 1:07:30Speaker 8: feel blessed by that part of it.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:07:31Speaker 8: They just really just kind of stay steady, stay grinding,
- 1:07:35Speaker 8: you know, stay.
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: Humble, and and just go get it. Like I don't
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: even worry about like.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: The ups and downs of it, you know, cause you'll
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: have moments in your career where you up, you know,
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: and it's super up. But then you know, but but
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: in general, I like to entertain people, and I like,
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: you know, so I was looking out there. I was like, man,
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: I got a book too, and I was looking at
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: it because y'all got all everybody's books. I was like that,
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: I ain't come up here for my book. Though I
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: think it was like a year ago. I don't think
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: I came from my book. So I was like, man,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: I need to get my book of y'all library. Man,
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: Like it was everybody's book was out there. But you know,
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: like all the things you get to do and in
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: the in this life and his career has been been
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: super blessed man.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: So I like it.
- 1:08:13Speaker 8: I like to you know, I like that.
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: Spirit of that being. You know, we talking about this
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: one time. We was to I like this spirit of
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: just you know, you.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: Get a little more controversial than I am, but it's
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: generally a good dude.
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: Like good people like.
- 1:08:28Speaker 13: Myself.
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: Like when you where you doing, like just like events
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: and stuff, solid dude man. Like you know, then you realize,
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: like you look online like people be mad at him.
- 1:08:42Speaker 20: Man, I like that, what do you doing?
- 1:08:47Speaker 8: I was like, Okay, it ain't in the library.
- 1:08:58Speaker 17: I love seeing comedians. I see like more comedians working
- 1:09:00Speaker 17: with each other, work, work, working. Yeah, we'll get up there.
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: I've seen.
- 1:09:07Speaker 13: I was.
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: I love to see comedians working with each other. I see.
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: I feel like there's a shift where at.
- 1:09:12Speaker 17: One time it was like everybody was going at each other,
- 1:09:14Speaker 17: but now I see more and more comedians getting together.
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: You notice that as well, Yeah, man, I mean I
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: really like that too.
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: Man.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: It's all because where I come from, that's where really
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: what it was like we all like just kind of
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: rock together. Of course, you know, Kings of Comedy is
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: one of the you know, the more kind of famous
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: versions of that. But but even like right after Death Jam,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: when Death Jam first blew, that's how we went out
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: and got bigger. Like everybody was on these big tours
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: and you could mix and match and people. And I
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: did it with Comic View when I like, after I
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: host the Comic View, we used to do a tour,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: put everybody out there and we just go and have fun.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: And you you, and it's great to see like comics
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: just out there working together and having a good time
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: and so and it's a lot of like a lot
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: of love in general. Like you know, you have you
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: have one or two, like you know, gun fights in
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: the in the in the comedy business or whatever. But
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: I don't even think they be you know, it's just
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: it's just the sign of the times. I think, you know,
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: where people just be wanting clicks and they just say
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: wild stuff and then you know, you see somebody in person.
- 1:10:22Speaker 4: King of the Comedy to the King's Comedy? Can you
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: do a Kings of Comedy?
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: Two? We are we are talking about it, you know,
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: you know it's it's you know, I talked to Steve
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: and d L the other day. We all we had
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: to offer and so now we're just trying to figure
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: out if that's gonna make sense and why, you know, why,
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: how and why we do it right now?
- 1:10:40Speaker 13: You know?
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, we were definitely gonna do something
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: with burn in there.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: I don't know how exactly we're gonna figure it out,
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: but we're not leaving Bernie out of it. We already
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: talked to the family and stuff on how we're gonna
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: make sure that that part of this situation too. And
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: then you know, it's a lot of you know, it
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: may be that idea like how you put somebody on
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: next it's a lot of like these guys is out here.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: That's like how and you be like, all right, cool,
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: how we pass that torch and say what's next?
- 1:11:09Speaker 6: Right?
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and maybe do it like
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: that with you know, us doing like smaller sets and
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, we're gonna figure it out,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: but we liked the idea of knowing that it was
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: such a big brand and we all out here still
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: doing it and you know, we might as well might
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: as well have some fun with it.
- 1:11:27Speaker 6: What do you see?
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: Then?
- 1:11:28Speaker 6: This is my last question. Who do you see out here?

- 1:11:46Speaker 1: for a long time now, but like he was in
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: that space and then I don't know, man, like uh,

- 1:14:31Speaker 6: justse Larius, Charlamagne and God Envy is not here, but
- 1:14:34Speaker 6: Lauren Larossa is that. We got a special guest in
- 1:14:36Speaker 6: the building.
- 1:14:36Speaker 10: She is the founder of Carviva Beverages, a plant based
- 1:14:41Speaker 10: well in this beverage company rooted in traditional Chinese medicine
- 1:14:44Speaker 10: and nutrition.
- 1:14:45Speaker 6: Doctor Angela zanis here.
- 1:14:47Speaker 15: Good morning, your great honor night.
- 1:14:52Speaker 11: Follow your show in a few years.
- 1:14:54Speaker 20: Already love all your topics.
- 1:14:57Speaker 15: But it's so cool.
- 1:14:58Speaker 6: This's still yeah. Now you are the founder of Carviva Beverages.
- 1:15:02Speaker 6: Tell us what that is?
- 1:15:03Speaker 15: Oh yeah, careba, I found this line. Well, it's basically
- 1:15:07Speaker 15: we've been on a market for nine years now, but
- 1:15:10Speaker 15: I started building a plant since ten years ago, but
- 1:15:15Speaker 15: ideas started much longer, further beyond ten years. I would say,
- 1:15:20Speaker 15: you know, it's is I think God bless us that
- 1:15:23Speaker 15: we're being on a market for ten years, because you know,
- 1:15:26Speaker 15: many of the small beverage friends, they don't even mix
- 1:15:29Speaker 15: through the first year. I grew up in a family
- 1:15:33Speaker 15: with step ruising traditional Chinese mediicine. So since I was little,
- 1:15:38Speaker 15: I was just fascinated by I would say, not just
- 1:15:42Speaker 15: this powerful ancient healing arts, but also the living philosophy
- 1:15:48Speaker 15: I was taught from my grandparents and of course my
- 1:15:53Speaker 15: parents as well. I think there's lots of misunderstanding on TCM.
- 1:15:58Speaker 15: Traditional Chinese madisone. Well, don't get me wrong, it's very complex.
- 1:16:05Speaker 15: Is most of the books are written in this ancient language.
- 1:16:10Speaker 15: It's even hard for a Chinese, modern Chinese to understand
- 1:16:14Speaker 15: what's talking about. So I think it's perfectly fine. Most
- 1:16:19Speaker 15: of people from other culture don't understand what exactly is.
- 1:16:22Speaker 15: And people just think about some strange.
- 1:16:24Speaker 12: Herbs and some soups, some remedies.
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: Maybe it's gonna make me feel better.
- 1:16:29Speaker 15: And it was never regarded as a mainstream medical science
- 1:16:34Speaker 15: because it's like this natural stuff right from me. It's
- 1:16:37Speaker 15: all natural. It's all natural.
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: But look at this.
- 1:16:42Speaker 15: Natural medicine is not limited to East Asian countries. You
- 1:16:47Speaker 15: can't find it in anywhere. Native Americans, for example, we
- 1:16:51Speaker 15: use a Ronia barry in our detox uice. I've been
- 1:16:54Speaker 15: used for centrists by Native Americans, not just addition no food.
- 1:17:00Speaker 15: They use it for healing, and then the modern science
- 1:17:05Speaker 15: clinical study, hundreds of them show this amazing vary cure
- 1:17:12Speaker 15: many disease, including diabetic complications, even cancer. That's just how
- 1:17:19Speaker 15: powerful nature prands modern nature are offering us.
- 1:17:25Speaker 6: I'm sure pharmaceutical companies hate.
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: You said it so well.
- 1:17:31Speaker 15: I think I also like to look into the history
- 1:17:34Speaker 15: of food culture, especially natural medicine's culture. So the general
- 1:17:41Speaker 15: concern is, if you look at the modern medicine, it
- 1:17:46Speaker 15: was involved from kind of like this holistic medicine. Many
- 1:17:52Speaker 15: of the compounds we use nowadays days are still coming
- 1:17:56Speaker 15: from plants. Something naturally exists. But eventually what we have
- 1:18:02Speaker 15: been doing is we study them and then we purify them,
- 1:18:06Speaker 15: and then we realized we actually can't make them more potent.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Just like the GLP one.
- 1:18:11Speaker 15: Yeah, people think, oh, it's a wonder drug for weight loss,
- 1:18:15Speaker 15: but it's naturally exists. It was first studied in a
- 1:18:21Speaker 15: very special species of lizard, and then scientists got yeah, yeah,
- 1:18:27Speaker 15: it was from lizard, and scientists got really curious. They
- 1:18:31Speaker 15: started to try to understand what does this compound do,
- 1:18:35Speaker 15: And then pharmaceutical company got excited about it, and then
- 1:18:39Speaker 15: they purify it and they start to synthesize it, and
- 1:18:42Speaker 15: then of course with chemical engineers made it much more,
- 1:18:48Speaker 15: like they call it, the half life much longer because
- 1:18:52Speaker 15: the native compound they don't survive at is not like
- 1:18:57Speaker 15: they're going to be potent for such a long time.
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:19:00Speaker 12: Yeah, so they diluted with a bunch of different other
- 1:19:04Speaker 12: chemicals to give you side effects like where you start, Well, not.
- 1:19:09Speaker 15: Really, what they did is they modified the native compound
- 1:19:13Speaker 15: so the half life become much longer, much stable. So
- 1:19:19Speaker 15: the native compound probably only acting for a few minutes
- 1:19:22Speaker 15: or so for example, But the chemicals now we're using
- 1:19:28Speaker 15: in the market that can last for more than the day,
- 1:19:32Speaker 15: much longer time, right, and it's much more potent. That's
- 1:19:36Speaker 15: why people have side effects, especially lots of users when
- 1:19:40Speaker 15: they first started to drop, maybe they got too excited
- 1:19:42Speaker 15: and they want to see fast results. They jump on
- 1:19:45Speaker 15: to the higher those too quickly, and that's not pretty.
- 1:19:48Speaker 12: How long is the shelf life for a carve eva?
- 1:19:50Speaker 15: It's a year And most people ask me, how did
- 1:19:53Speaker 15: you make it? Very simple traditional remedy. We actually don't
- 1:19:58Speaker 15: use codepress juice. Lots of people ask me, it's this
- 1:20:01Speaker 15: a co press juice? And I always have to say
- 1:20:04Speaker 15: I have nothing against co press juice, it's just a
- 1:20:07Speaker 15: different way. This is the way follow the traditional way
- 1:20:12Speaker 15: UH philosophy of making remedies. So the first thing you're
- 1:20:17Speaker 15: probably alread I heard you know this this East Asian
- 1:20:21Speaker 15: people don't like cold drinks with like cold food. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:20:26Speaker 15: because the belief is raw food and cold drinks damage
- 1:20:32Speaker 15: your digestive cheese. So it's really simple. Your body needs
- 1:20:36Speaker 15: to use the energy to warm up the food, and
- 1:20:38Speaker 15: raw food is just harder to digest because you know,
- 1:20:42Speaker 15: for example, if you eat of course, I hope nobody
- 1:20:45Speaker 15: eating raw meat because that's that can be really dangerous.
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: What about sushi, Susie, Great.
- 1:20:50Speaker 11: Question, Susie.
- 1:20:51Speaker 15: Yeah, I have to say, I love sushie, but I'm
- 1:20:55Speaker 15: always a little bit scared of raw fish because I'm
- 1:20:57Speaker 15: always worried about you know, potential pesticide. It is contamination
- 1:21:01Speaker 15: because you just don't know, you know, unless you if
- 1:21:03Speaker 15: you really Yeah, if you go to Japan, maybe go
- 1:21:06Speaker 15: to a high end sushi restaurant, and that's that's cool.
- 1:21:10Speaker 15: But you know, but the good thing is most of
- 1:21:12Speaker 15: the sushi the pair here, I would think they.
- 1:21:15Speaker 4: Use some some kind of preservatives.
- 1:21:17Speaker 15: Yeah, just for example being sprouts. I use tons of
- 1:21:20Speaker 15: sprous in my juice. The reason is, well, think about
- 1:21:23Speaker 15: this sprouse is the baby plants. That's the most nutrients
- 1:21:27Speaker 15: danced face oph plants is packed with minerals, proteins, natural antioxidants, fibers,
- 1:21:36Speaker 15: and it's naturally most of the sprous and naturally sugar free.
- 1:21:40Speaker 15: If you want sugar free, who would go is the sprouse.
- 1:21:45Speaker 15: But the problem with sprouse is world high water content.
- 1:21:48Speaker 15: So the FGA actually requires the sprouse roller. When you
- 1:21:53Speaker 15: ship out the fresh sprous, you need to put preservatives inside.
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: That's required.
- 1:22:00Speaker 11: So I don't know.
- 1:22:01Speaker 15: I'm not a sushi chef and there always that business,
- 1:22:04Speaker 15: so I would think they have something to preserve the
- 1:22:07Speaker 15: raw okay, yeah, but speaking of like raw plans, the
- 1:22:10Speaker 15: reason traditional Chinese medicine is against that, especially for women,
- 1:22:16Speaker 15: because we believe women is more in in nature. Men,
- 1:22:19Speaker 15: on the other hand, is more young young in nature. Right,
- 1:22:22Speaker 15: So for us we need to do more care to
- 1:22:25Speaker 15: preserve this digestive chi which is the foundation for healthy
- 1:22:29Speaker 15: reproductive health. And we believe to have a healthy reproductive system,
- 1:22:36Speaker 15: it's the foundation of maintain your use and longevity, especially
- 1:22:40Speaker 15: important for women. So that's why we kind of like
- 1:22:43Speaker 15: to cook everything.
- 1:22:44Speaker 6: How do they find card?
- 1:22:47Speaker 15: Yeah, so depends on where you live. If you're in
- 1:22:49Speaker 15: the East region, you can easily find us. Otherwise you
- 1:22:52Speaker 15: can always find us online carbever dot com. You can
- 1:22:56Speaker 15: find us at Amazon or my marketplace, TikTok shops.
- 1:23:01Speaker 10: I don't understand why one of these beverage companies, whether
- 1:23:03Speaker 10: it's Co Cola, Pepsi or somebody, doesn't just say, hey,
- 1:23:06Speaker 10: you know what, we need to have some more healthier.
- 1:23:08Speaker 6: Options, so let's just do a strategic partnership.
- 1:23:10Speaker 15: With they should I think, I think, I think event trade.
- 1:23:15Speaker 15: The industry, well, change is already changing. It's already changing.
- 1:23:20Speaker 15: But you know, I think still food scientists are trained
- 1:23:24Speaker 15: as chemists, so not as nutrition as, not as a chef. Sure,
- 1:23:30Speaker 15: so maybe one day that will change, that will change,
- 1:23:35Speaker 15: but I already see the movement found the groundsop.
- 1:23:40Speaker 4: Is people like you and.
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: Like myself demanding better food.
- 1:23:48Speaker 16: Real food.
