  Speaker 8: Don't play with him.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I just want to make sure Trav is okay.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's stupid for you to talk like this because you're
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a New York Giants fan. Like, anything can happen to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: y'all this weekend as well. But this weekend, we're still

  Speaker 1: we're still number eight.
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: But right now. Friday, we are number one in the division.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I think you need to be humble. You should just
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: be humble and relax. It's okay. It only makes it worse,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: and you know you can't handle it, okay?
• 3:30
  Speaker 13: No, I can't.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: You can't handle it when people get on you, so
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: just relax. I can't.
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: That's my thing. It is what it is.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: You're a little sensitive today. You all right, Cowboys? No,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I don't care, actually. I'm used to it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: Let's get the show cracking. This is Gunna. It's a

• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Our defense sucks. We suck. Our offense sucks. We just suck.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: You still think you're going to the bowl?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: What bowl? Crazy. I mean, we're only two and three.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Anything can happen still.
• 4:14
  Speaker 14: Okay.

  Speaker 12: All right.

  Speaker 10: She was named WNBA MVP for the fifth time.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Man, drop one of those bombs for Asia Wilson, okay?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: South Carolina's own five-time MVP. Do you know how rare
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that air is?
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: By far the greatest women's basketball player of all time.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Go debate with your mama. I ain't got time to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: argue with you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 10: And also, the Liberty Plays, the Atlanta Dream, and the
• 4:38
  Speaker 10: Vegas Aces takes on the Valkyries at 9.30.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: The Las Vegas.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: What did you say? You know what's so crazy?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: When you just type in Aja Wilson on Google, five
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: MVP trophies just pop up on the screen.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: You know how when you go there for holidays and stuff?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: When you just put her name in the day, five
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: MVP trophies just pop up and float across the screen.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: That is dope.
• 4:56
  Speaker 12: What's up, Mimi?
• 4:56
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Envy, Char, Jess.
• 4:59
  Speaker 16: How y'all doing?
• 4:59
  Speaker 17: Hey, girl.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Peace, Mimi Brown.
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: Good morning.
• 5:02
  Speaker 11: So we start this hour with President Trump approving the
• 5:04
  Speaker 11: execution of the former Army major behind the deadliest mass
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: shooting on a U.S.
• 5:10
  Speaker 15: Military base.
• 5:11
  Speaker 11: Nadal Hassan was convicted of killing 13 people and injuring
• 5:15
  Speaker 11: more than 30 others at Fort Hood, Texas, back in 2009. Now,
• 5:22
  Speaker 11: 17 years later, the Pentagon is preparing to carry out
• 5:25
  Speaker 11: his death sentence. Here is Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth.
• 5:28
  Speaker 18: Let's listen.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: No brainer.
• 5:31
  Speaker 13: Execution by firing squad. Army major betrays his country. Radical
• 5:35
  Speaker 13: Islamist kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course,
• 5:38
  Speaker 13: we're going to do it at Fort Hood and do
• 5:39
  Speaker 13: it on a Thursday. We're going to do it at
• 5:40
  Speaker 13: one o'clock, which is when he did it. And it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 13: going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: We know what it is.
• 5:47
  Speaker 13: It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks.
• 5:50
  Speaker 13: And so he's going to get a firing squad of soldiers,
• 5:52
  Speaker 13: as it should be. And we'll make sure that people
• 5:54
  Speaker 13: are able to watch it, that it's public, because people
• 5:58
  Speaker 13: need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types
• 6:01
  Speaker 13: of things.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: What makes them think people want to see that? I mean,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: if he gets the death sentence, he gets the death sentence.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But do you have to freaking publicly broadcast it?
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: I'm sure there's some people I'm sure that want to
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: see it, but I don't want to see it either.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: What?
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: I mean, yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 11: And the decision is drawing a lot of criticism. Democratic
• 6:21
  Speaker 11: Senator Chris Murphy is among those speaking out. Let's listen
• 6:23
  Speaker 11: to what he had to say.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's disgusting. What is he mimicking?
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: ISIS executions? I mean, I understand that in this country
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: we have the death penalty. But public executions is medieval.
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: It's frankly one of the things that we abhor about
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: terrorist groups. And the fact that the United States is
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: doing it, I just learned this, that is just absolutely extraordinary,
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: galling public hangings and executions. That's what America has become.
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: That's pretty extraordinary.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I guess, I don't know, I don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: like to see stuff like that.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Even on social media, when that stuff come across my feed,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I block people from posting stuff like that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and that's what they do in authoritarian countries.
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: So, you know, a lot of people are pointing to
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: similarities with Russia and other countries that they see this in.
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: And not only that, once they do it in public,
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: that footage is going to be everywhere, right? So kids
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: are going to be able to see it, right? They're
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: going to be seeing it on their social media, it's
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: going to be streaming, it's going to go viral, like.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're seeing worse on social now, but I'm just
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: saying that the people in the government, they should know better.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: Oh, of course.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: They're watching people get killed all day long on social media.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: You can literally see people get slaughtered, killed, stabbed, shot.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Yes. All that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I just feel like the government should know better. The
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: government shouldn't be publicly broadcasting that. It's just bad enough
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we got to watch it on social media all the time.
• 7:42
  Speaker 13: Damn.
• 7:42
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 11: Well, the execution is scheduled for December 3rd, and this
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: would be the military's first execution of a U.S. service
• 7:50
  Speaker 11: member in 65 years. And the Trump administration is reportedly
• 7:54
  Speaker 11: launching a major immigration crackdown across California just weeks before
• 7:58
  Speaker 11: the midterm elections. According to the Washington Examiner, ICE agents
• 8:03
  Speaker 11: have been told to carry out immigrant arrests with whoever
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: they encounter, whether they have a criminal record or not. Now,
• 8:10
  Speaker 11: the operation is expected to last 45 days. It's reportedly
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: supposed to start in San Diego and then expand through
• 8:16
  Speaker 11: Los Angeles and up to San Francisco. California Governor Gavin
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: Newsom is accusing the president of trying to scare immigrant
• 8:23
  Speaker 11: communities away from voting. And just last night here in
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: New York City, an ICE shooting is sparking outrage and
• 8:29
  Speaker 11: protests after a federal agent shot a man yesterday with
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: his five-year-old child sitting.
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: In the backseat.
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: It happened in the Marble Hill neighborhood. Police say ICE
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: agents fired several shots hitting the 28-year-old man in the neck.
• 8:43
  Speaker 15: He was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The
• 8:46
  Speaker 15: child was not hurt.
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: The federal officials say they were trying to arrest the
• 8:49
  Speaker 11: man during an immigration operation. They haven't said what led
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: to the shooting. There are hundreds of protesters still outside
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: the hospital this morning. And New York Mayor Dharamandani is
• 8:58
  Speaker 11: calling for ICE to be abolished. I think we have
• 9:01
  Speaker 11: something from him.
• 9:03
  Speaker 17: What happened today was an outrage. We know that ICE
• 9:08
  Speaker 17: is rotten to its core. Today's shooting is only further
• 9:12
  Speaker 17: devastating confirmation of what we have long known. which is
• 9:15
  Speaker 17: that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and
• 9:19
  Speaker 17: terror across our country, that they have killed far more
• 9:22
  Speaker 17: of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I still believe come the midterms you're going to see
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: ICE agents at the polls. And I wonder how the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: fear created by ICE may have already discouraged people from exercising.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: their right to vote like will it scare them away
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: from the polls because if you spend months you know
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: watching ice you know raid neighborhoods and arrest people you
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: might already be afraid of encountering them.
• 9:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah uh there was a hotline number that was already
• 9:48
  Speaker 11: saying that they were receiving lots and lots of calls
• 9:50
  Speaker 11: because they were afraid uh people were afraid to leave
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: their house with all of this going on, especially in
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: California right now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, if ICE can create fear, you know, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: chaos on, you know, ordinary city streets every day, you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: what safeguards are in place to prevent that same fear
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and chaos from interfering with an election?
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Because remember when Steve Bannon.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Said back in November that they was already planning on
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: having ICE agents surrounding the polls?
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Maybe that was earlier this year.
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: No, we talked about that earlier this week, about 1,000
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: agents to be deployed at polling places.
• 10:22
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: Okay, well, coming up in the 7 o'clock hour, what
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: happens in the bedroom could leave you running to the bathroom.
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: Doctors have a new warning this morning.
• 10:30
  Speaker 15: We'll tell you all about it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Stop letting people play in your ass, God damn it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 20: I did not say that's what it was.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: It could be somebody eating in bed.
• 10:36
  Speaker 20: Right, I did not.
• 10:37
  Speaker 15: I don't know where you got that from.
• 10:40

• 11:08
  Speaker 21: 800-585-1051.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Hello, who's this?
• 11:12
  Speaker 13: Hello.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Can you hear me?
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: I can hear you. What's your name, Mama?
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: Good morning, everybody.
• 11:17
  Speaker 21: Good morning.
• 11:17
  Speaker 22: This is Yolanda Cleary from Alexandria, Virginia.
• 11:22
  Speaker 19: I'm calling about the Ice Ages in the Bronx. I
• 11:25
  Speaker 19: used to live there in Marble Hill. And for them
• 11:28
  Speaker 19: to come there attacking, and when they say that the
• 11:31
  Speaker 19: five-year-old child was not hurt, that child is traumatized. The
• 11:37
  Speaker 19: child is hurt.
• 11:39
  Speaker 22: That child watched his father be shot at five years old.
• 11:46
  Speaker 22: They will need mental health care for a long time
• 11:51
  Speaker 22: to come. So when they say he's not hurt and
• 11:54
  Speaker 22: something needs to be done, Let me tell you, Charlamagne,
• 11:57
  Speaker 22: I have left. I got here in New York this morning.
• 12:00
  Speaker 22: So I can attend your mental health wellness tomorrow.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 12:05
  Speaker 22: Just for this kind of situation where our children are traumatized.
• 12:10
  Speaker 22: When my child had to see me. And thank you, Envy.
• 12:15
  Speaker 22: You prayed for me. You gave me healing. I'm sorry.
• 12:20
  Speaker 22: I'm so blessed. Because I survived at Mount Sinai Hospital today.
• 12:25
  Speaker 22: seven and a half months ago from a major surgery
• 12:29
  Speaker 22: where it was determined I was going to die. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 22: when you have a child to watch you suffer, even
• 12:37
  Speaker 22: if you recover, it affects them.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 22: It affects them. So to say that this child is
• 12:44
  Speaker 22: not hurt is something that we need to change in
• 12:47
  Speaker 22: saying because this child is hurt.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 17: Mm-hmm.
• 12:51
  Speaker 22: And I want to ask you, Charlemagne, I'm coming, trying
• 12:54
  Speaker 22: to get there tomorrow. I am in the wheelchair. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 22: am on oxygen tanks. I want to know if there's
• 13:02
  Speaker 22: availability for someone attend in the wheelchair.
• 13:06
  Speaker 19: Is it accessible?
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 22: Is it accessible parking? Because I've been trying to get
• 13:12
  Speaker 22: an accessible rental van for myself and another disabled person
• 13:17
  Speaker 22: to get there tomorrow, but we haven't been able to
• 13:19
  Speaker 22: get through. on the phone to be able to ask
• 13:23
  Speaker 22: these things. And it's sad because, uh, they're trying to
• 13:26
  Speaker 22: charge a lot of money now to not the wellness,
• 13:29
  Speaker 22: but the transportation to get from, uh, Manhattan, New York
• 13:33
  Speaker 22: to Newark, New Jersey.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, the wellness center definitely, you know, has wheelchair,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you know, accessibility. I don't, I don't know who you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: would talk to at the venue, but I mean, I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: know the Joel and Diane Bloom wellness and events and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: absolutely has that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: How was parking last year? Is there a lot, Charlemagne,
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: for her to park, or is there street parking?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the parking situation, but I know
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the Wellness Intervention definitely has a lot of wheelchair accessibility.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's people there that come there every year
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: in wheelchairs.
• 14:00
  Speaker 22: Okay. Well, how can I find out? Because that's been
• 14:03
  Speaker 22: the difficulty with getting transportation is they don't know where
• 14:08
  Speaker 22: to go parking and I have to make all of
• 14:12
  Speaker 22: that available myself.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: That I don't know about, but I will ask Debbie Brown.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Debbie Brown, she'll be here in the 8 a.m. hour,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and she curated the whole event, so she could probably
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: be able to answer those questions. But I will definitely
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: write that question down and ask her. So you want
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to know about transportation to get there?
• 14:29
  Speaker 22: I'm coming from New York to Newark. Parking, how much?
• 14:38
  Speaker 22: How long for the parking? And I also have a service,
• 14:44
  Speaker 22: a very small service animal with me. It's trained and everything, paperwork.
• 14:50
  Speaker 22: Is she allowed to come? Those are things I have
• 14:54
  Speaker 22: to know before I even attempt to leave.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Well, they have parking for the Joelle and Diane Bloom
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Wellness and Events Center at NJIT is primarily available at
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: designated campus parking decks and nearby visitor garages.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: So they do have parking there.
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: I'm not sure how much it is to rent a vehicle,
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: but it would probably be easier and maybe around the
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: same price to get Uber to drop you off because
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: that way they drop you off right in the front
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: so you don't have to worry about parking and you
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: don't have to worry about You know, driving around, walking
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: around the block or, you know, going around the block.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: But you're going to put a wheelchair in the Uber, though.
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: They have the vans on there.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: It's an option for handicapped, you know, wheelchair people.
• 15:34
  Speaker 22: Yeah, because it's not foldable. It's a motorized wheelchair with
• 15:38
  Speaker 22: all the... you know, tanks and stuff on it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: They have accessible cars where they have the ramp that
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: comes down and you can just, you know, pull right on.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: They got Ubers that do all that?
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: Yes, their vans.
• 15:50
  Speaker 12: They have vans.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: So what do you do on the Uber? So you
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: go on the Uber van and it says Uber van
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: for the wheelchair? I'm just asking because I ain't never
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: seen it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: I think y'all just giving out information.
• 16:02
  Speaker 22: I've been trying to find out and I've been calling,
• 16:05
  Speaker 22: but The ones I've reached, they can do it for
• 16:09
  Speaker 22: $ 125 a ride. Yeah, it is a lot.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: More expensive for y'all. But I know on the Lyft app,
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: they do have the handicap accessible rides that you can pick.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: And it is a lot more money, but yeah.
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: I've seen it before, but it says Uber offers handicap
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: and wheelchair accessible transportation services.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: Through the Uber Wave app.
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: It's the wheelchair accessible vehicle app.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: The vans that ride around with the big blue wheelchair
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: symbol on it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that was Uber.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Uber and Lyft.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I ain't never seen that.
• 16:38

  Speaker 1: podcasts so it says oh wow so the game is
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: going to include podcast programming but they haven't announced who

  Speaker 1: the shows and hosts and topics and episode format.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Y'all was literally just saying like, what if you steal
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: one of the cars, right? And you turn on the
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: radio and don't get a day as planned. Like that
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: would be fire.
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: Cute little touch.
• 24:03
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 24:03
  Speaker 24: And that's the first time that they're doing that ever
• 24:05
  Speaker 24: in the franchise's history. But I thought it was just interesting.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: I don't remember.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: That didn't happen.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Gosh.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: What? We would have known, right? Hopefully.
• 24:11
  Speaker 12: I don't know if we.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Would have known. They got to pay for that type
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: of stuff.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I thought it was.
• 24:18
  Speaker 24: Interesting, though, even the talk radio part of it. Because
• 24:21
  Speaker 24: I remember when I used to play a long time ago,
• 24:23
  Speaker 24: you would hear radio, but I don't remember paying much attention.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Big Boy was on there.
• 24:28
  Speaker 24: Maybe because I was so young, I didn't pay that
• 24:30
  Speaker 24: much attention to what I was listening to.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: DJ Pooh had a classic West Coast hip-hop station on there.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: And Big Boi had a modern hip hop station.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: I remember hearing the voices, but yeah, I don't remember.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 24:43
  Speaker 24: And you know what else, too? When you get out
• 24:47
  Speaker 24: of the car, you'll still be able to listen. So
• 24:49
  Speaker 24: I do remember it was only in the car at
• 24:51
  Speaker 24: one point, but you'll be able to get out and
• 24:52
  Speaker 24: listen on foot as well, too. They're making it feel
• 24:55
  Speaker 24: so like how we.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: Digest Music Audio now.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Giving a donkey of the day to somebody who's stealing
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: cars and you steal a car.

• 27:22
  Speaker 15: Hey, MB, Jeff, Charlamagne, how y'all doing this morning?
• 27:25
  Speaker 20: Good morning.
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 27:29
  Speaker 11: largest injury law firm.
• 27:31
  Speaker 15: So we're going to start in Memphis this hour.
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: That's where tensions are boiling over after plans to build
• 27:37
  Speaker 11: more data centers, including Elon Musk, his massive AI operation
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: in the area. So residents, they are worried about air pollution.
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: how much electricity and water these facilities are using. And
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: they want the city to stop the new data centers
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: from being built and to expand being built or expanded
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: for one year while officials look into their concerns. This
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: is one lady who was at the Capitol building protesting.
• 28:05
  Speaker 15: Let's listen to what she had to say.
• 28:07
  Speaker 26: It's just a total hazard. We've basically been invaded by strangers,
• 28:12
  Speaker 26: by people that have gotten paid, and they have not
• 28:15
  Speaker 26: communicated with us in any way. This is hurtful, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 26: I'm rethinking where I need to be living in.
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: So that night, the city council, they voted 7-5 to
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: delay the decision again.
• 28:27
  Speaker 15: So things got heated.
• 28:28
  Speaker 20: More than 200 people.
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: They showed up to protest. Some pulled out bullhorns, started chanting.
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: Two women got into a physical fight. It was a
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: lot happening that night. And so inside the meeting, protesters,
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: they confronted city council members.
• 28:44
  Speaker 15: One city councilwoman, her name is Yolanda Cooper Sutton. She
• 28:48
  Speaker 15: got into it with.
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: Another protester and then got into it with another fellow councilman.
• 28:54
  Speaker 15: Let's listen to that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: Ain't no power. You pipe down, baby.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: I'm trapped back.
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: That's all he does. He bring up men.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: That's all you do, J.B. Smiley, is confuse the people
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: over and over.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And over and over.
• 29:10
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so it's a really touchy subject.
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: People are really, really, really upset about this.
• 29:16
  Speaker 15: Police were called in. There were no arrests made.
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: No injuries were reported, but the council, they're expected to
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: take up this issue again on October 20th. The mayor, though,
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: Mayor Paul Young, he says that he supports bringing more
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: data centers to the city because they generate.
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: More tax revenue and they boost the local economy.
• 29:33
  Speaker 20: Let's listen to that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 18: I think in this year for XAI, it generated $ 54
• 29:40
  Speaker 18: million between the city and county, 25-ish to the city.
• 29:45
  Speaker 18: We need those tax dollars, but we must do it
• 29:48
  Speaker 18: in a way where our people are protected.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Well, how about communicate that with the residents? You know
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying? Like the woman said, that there's been
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: no communication.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: If they have tax revenue that can actually, you know,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: provide economic opportunities for these cities, you got to tell
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that to the residents of these cities. Like, tell them
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: how this can help, you know, the public schools be better.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Let them know that this could probably go to affordable
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: housing or community centers, you know, workforce programs.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Like, you got to talk to the people.
• 30:15
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so they see that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: I think the problem is all they see is their
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: bills going up and they're not seeing They.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: See their bills going up and they're online looking at
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: how these data centers are negatively affecting the environment. So
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you got to tell these people the pros of these
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: data centers. They see all of the cons. You got
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to go out there and tell them the pros. You
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: got to sell it to the people.
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 30:34
  Speaker 15: Exactly.
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: And I spoke with Tennessee State Rep Justin Pearson. He's
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: running for Congress. We spoke about this on my podcast
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: front page. He is against these data centers, and that's
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: a really good interview. So it's on my podcast front page.
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: You can go listen to that full conversation. He's also
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: talking about the harms that it's doing to the environment.
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: And switching gears, a nasty stomach bug is now spreading
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: through sex.
• 30:57
  Speaker 17: Damn!
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: What?
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God. Charlamagne.
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: So, doctors are warning that some cases are also becoming
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: impossible to treat, guys.
• 31:07
  Speaker 15: It's called Shigella.
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: It can cause severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever. So
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: this type of bacteria, it normally spreads through contaminated food, water,
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: or poor hygiene.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: And dookie. I know dookie involved.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: Dookie.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: I know dookie got to be involved. Come on now.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Where the dookie mean?
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: I don't see that on the list, but it's possible.
• 31:30
  Speaker 20: It's possible.
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: Researchers are now seeing it spread more through sexual contact,
• 31:34
  Speaker 11: like I said, and the strains are becoming resistant to antibiotics.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Explain sexual contact. Sex. It is STD then, right?
• 31:43
  Speaker 15: They're going, they're not, listen, it's a sexual content.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: Because it's a sexually transmitted disease.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: I'm sure it's sort of like an STI.
• 31:49
  Speaker 15: I think it's like a, something like that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Having sex is gonna mess your stomach up.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: And you just have to start pooping all over the place.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: Man, they just been making up. That's right.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: They made up a name. They made up a new
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: one and gave it an ethnic name, Shigella.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Right, right.
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: Shigella from Shaniqua.
• 32:06
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Shaniqua gave me the Shigella. No, yo, that's crazy.
• 32:11
  Speaker 15: God, hilarious.
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: So, yeah, it's becoming resistant to antibiotics, which means medicine
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: that doctors would normally use is not working. So they
• 32:20
  Speaker 11: said more than a half a million Americans are getting
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: infected every year.
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: So doctors are warning.
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: That's crazy.
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: This bug is becoming harder to stop.
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: Just a heads up.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I feel sorry for this young generation. I'm so glad
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I was born in 1978, okay? And all of you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: old hoes out there, male and female, if you over
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: 45 and you still out there hoeing in these streets,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you done ducked chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea just to catch
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: your gallop?
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Might have got time for that. Right.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: You know I'm here in China, and one thing they
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: do in China, as soon as you get off the airport,
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: they have these cameras that check your temperature to see
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: if you have a fever.
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: Because if you're sick, they put you in another room
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: to find out why.
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: You are sick.
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: I was always curious to why we don't do that
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: when somebody has a fever or they're sick. Why don't
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: we find out why they are sick so they don't spread?
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Is fever a symptom of Shigella?
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it is.
• 33:07
  Speaker 21: Yep, it is.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: We should do that at the breakfast club.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: So how do you know when you got it, though?
• 33:13
  Speaker 15: I guess you have diarrhea.
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: But there's so many things that give you diarrhea, girl.
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: Jess always got diarrhea.
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: Yo, relax.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: That is true.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't want
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to say nothing.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but shut up. But there's so many.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Things that you can get.
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: Because there's so many things that give you diarrhea.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: How the hell are you supposed to know if it's Shigella?
• 33:33
  Speaker 18: Listen.
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: Listen, go see the doctor so he can diagnose you,
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: I guess.
• 33:38
  Speaker 15: That's how you find out.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And ain't no cure? You said the antibiotics.
• 33:42
  Speaker 15: It says antibiotics are becoming resistant.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Dang.
• 33:45
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 26: All right.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Find you a boo, man. Get married, man. Find one
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: person to be with.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: That's too much of a safest thing to do.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: They down here making new STDs, y'all.
• 33:55
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: Like, what the hell?
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: And as we wrap, guys, just a little reminder that
• 34:02
  Speaker 11: cuffing season is here.
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: Hey, do I got time for that? Why would you
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: leave with that?
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: You just find one person, though. That's not bad. You
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: find one person.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: Yes, find one person.
• 34:11
  Speaker 11: But this cuffing season, people are saying the cost of
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: living is so high, you know, they're not really looking
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: to keep warm.
• 34:17
  Speaker 15: They're looking for someone to split the bills with this season.
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: Or shacking up.
• 34:19
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 34:20
  Speaker 15: So it might look a little different this year.
• 34:22
  Speaker 12: That's all.

  Speaker 4: You're a good plus one.
• 35:28
  Speaker 23: We didn't even look to see who it was.
• 35:34

  Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
• 35:43
  Speaker 12: Big guy, big guy.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I saw you, Ben, say that y'all chemistry, you and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Carrie's chemistry, it's the best experience you've ever had with
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: another actor?
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm so glad that that's on record.
• 35:54
  Speaker 15: At least for now.
• 35:56
  Speaker 12: Until the next one, then I'll just be saying that.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: She's amazing. We hate each other.
• 36:01
  Speaker 25: No, I think because we were trying to really dig
• 36:05
  Speaker 25: into what happens in a marriage, really underneath a marriage,
• 36:09
  Speaker 25: kind of, not just the What you put out there,
• 36:12
  Speaker 25: how you want people to see it, but what happens
• 36:14
  Speaker 25: when you're together and you're close and then things can
• 36:18
  Speaker 25: start to fall apart and how much you're going to
• 36:20
  Speaker 25: really show that other person who.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: You really are.
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: There's a lot of risk to that and maybe a
• 36:26
  Speaker 12: lot of reward.
• 36:27
  Speaker 25: And I thought it'd be really interesting to explore that,
• 36:30
  Speaker 25: but I needed somebody.
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: Who was really willing to.
• 36:34
  Speaker 25: you know, in preparation, like talk about it in a
• 36:37
  Speaker 25: real way and get really serious about not, not like, oh,
• 36:40
  Speaker 25: this is my marriage or, you know, we're going to
• 36:42
  Speaker 25: use these things, but more in a way of like.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Life experience and lived experience and just be honest about like,
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: what are the things you're afraid of?
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: What are the things you, you.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Know, what are the masks you put up in the world?
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: What are the things you're afraid for people to know
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: about you? Just that, like really digging in so that
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: we could bring a life to these characters that felt real.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, I would say working with Ben as a
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: director is so, because he's so committed to figuring out
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: what truth is supposed to look like on screen.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: I need more praise for Carrie, Ben. What did she
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: give you creatively that you hadn't experienced before? Because you
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: work with a lot of actors.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And actresses.
• 37:14
  Speaker 12: Well, for one thing, Carrie really wrote the movie with me.
• 37:17
  Speaker 25: Like, we had to sit down and go, okay, if
• 37:19
  Speaker 25: we're going to have this marriage and we know that
• 37:21
  Speaker 25: it gets to a point of, like, real crisis where
• 37:24
  Speaker 25: it's like, okay, are we going to be together or
• 37:26
  Speaker 25: forget it? And there's, like, that moment to arrive at,
• 37:29
  Speaker 25: that's a lot of pain.
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: There's a lot of history. And when you have that conversation,
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: a lot comes out, right? So we needed to get
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: real about how did this start?
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Where was it?
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we built all the backstory.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: How did we meet?
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: What did my parents think of you?
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: And Carrie was like, send me our wedding music. I
• 37:44
  Speaker 12: was like, oh, I'm feeling judged.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: Let me tell you, Ben knows a lot more R &
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: B than I expected.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: I was like, whoa, what's happening with these wedding songs?
• 37:55
  Speaker 12: Carrie was like, who's Luther Vantross?
• 37:57
  Speaker 17: No, shut up.
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: What was the song he put on you that was like,
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: hold on?
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: We had a few options. We had a few options,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: but what surprised me?
• 38:04
  Speaker 12: She reconsidered me a little bit.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: What was the one that surprised you the most?
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: I think some Freddie Jackson on there surprised me.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Rest in peace, Freddie.
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: And also a lot of Mary J. on there.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: When he said s * * * is not a secret.
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: When he sat down, he said something about Al Green, too.
• 38:22
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: S * * *. Love it.
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: It was a really... You know, you have to really...
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: get serious and share kind of like, and that part
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: of me was like, okay, so what's your experience in
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: interracial relationships? Like what happens? Cause to me, I wanted,
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: when it comes to a head.
• 38:38
  Speaker 25: Like all your, for my character, all his like insecurities
• 38:41
  Speaker 25: come out, you know, all the things he's afraid of.
• 38:43
  Speaker 12: Like one of them is like, you don't really want
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: to be with me. You really want me to the
• 38:47
  Speaker 12: black guy. You probably don't even love me.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 38:49
  Speaker 12: Maybe you're with me to, to.
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: Be on the political, really nice house.
• 38:54
  Speaker 25: We have a nice house. So all these things that,
• 38:56
  Speaker 25: I don't care what kind of relationship you're in. You know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 25: you have these little things that might eat at you
• 39:00
  Speaker 25: in the corners.
• 39:01
  Speaker 12: And, but they had to be real and they had
• 39:03
  Speaker 12: to be specific.
• 39:04
  Speaker 25: And we had to both know what they were so
• 39:07
  Speaker 25: that when it came up, how we played it was
• 39:10
  Speaker 25: kind of, and I didn't want to have like, you know,
• 39:12
  Speaker 25: I feel like there's movies that have certain rules about like, well,
• 39:14
  Speaker 25: you're playing this person.
• 39:15
  Speaker 12: You can't say this. And I'm like, you can't, I'm like, well,
• 39:18
  Speaker 12: forget that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 25: Like if the audience is going to see this, it's
• 39:20
  Speaker 25: going to feel really real to people. A, it can't
• 39:22
  Speaker 25: just be my voice.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: It's just not.
• 39:24
  Speaker 12: Going to feel real.
• 39:25
  Speaker 25: It's like trying to play chess with yourself, right? Like
• 39:28
  Speaker 25: you still know what the other. pieces, you know, people
• 39:31
  Speaker 25: are thinking.
• 39:31
  Speaker 12: Whereas, you know, not just Carrie, but like Adriana and Luis,
• 39:35
  Speaker 12: like they wrote.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: All of this.
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: Steven Yeun and the three of us wrote that scene.
• 39:38
  Speaker 25: They came with their own scene. They were like, we
• 39:40
  Speaker 25: should have this scene together. And I was like, okay,
• 39:43
  Speaker 25: do it. Let's see it.
• 39:44
  Speaker 12: You know, I'm like, well, how come? She's like, well,
• 39:46
  Speaker 12: you know, he's Korean in LA and I'm black and
• 39:48
  Speaker 12: we have this kind of history and it's complicated.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: And I was like, That's also a real sign of
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Ben's self-confidence as a.
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: Director because not all directors are like, bring all your ideas.
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: Let's collaborate. Let's work together. Let's rewrite stuff.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: So that was very rewarding for everybody in the cast
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: to be able to, we rehearse.
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: You never rehearse films anymore.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: But to be in this house, we moved into this
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: house and rehearsed together and built these backstories and figured
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: out what we wanted to say and how we wanted
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: to say it.
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: It was really rewarding.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Did y'all study any Dr. Umar videos?
• 40:18
  Speaker 17: No.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: Oh my God. We didn't do that.
• 40:21
  Speaker 25: But we did like, we did just, for me, it
• 40:25
  Speaker 25: was like, if we take the gloves off, like for example,
• 40:28
  Speaker 25: this scene with Carrie and Steven, I'm watching them.
• 40:30
  Speaker 12: I'm not even sure. I'm like, Ooh, you know what
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: I mean? Kind of like, what is she going to
• 40:35
  Speaker 12: say now?
• 40:35
  Speaker 25: Like, you know, I was kind of watching it like,
• 40:38
  Speaker 25: you know, like a prize fight almost like these or
• 40:40
  Speaker 25: like a dance or something where these two, you know,
• 40:42
  Speaker 25: and I'm thinking she's not going to come back from this.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 40:45
  Speaker 12: You also have to have, and this is what I
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: mean about Carrie.
• 40:48
  Speaker 25: Like, She had, she's such a serious and legit person,
• 40:53
  Speaker 25: both like formidable. And cause I had seen her and
• 40:56
  Speaker 25: been around her and all these circumstances and watch her
• 40:59
  Speaker 25: hold her own with all these people. So in some cases,
• 41:02
  Speaker 25: like during the strike and we're talking to people and
• 41:04
  Speaker 25: Carrie's out there talking to all the CEOs and then
• 41:07
  Speaker 25: talking to all the unions.
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: And I'm like, This woman is no joke.
• 41:10
  Speaker 25: And she really holds her own and also knows how
• 41:13
  Speaker 25: to talk to people so they can hear what she's
• 41:15
  Speaker 25: saying without compromising her authenticity. And what that made me,
• 41:20
  Speaker 25: it gave me this like burning curiosity to be like, what's.
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: The real Kerry Washington? I feel like there's something in
• 41:26
  Speaker 12: here that I really want to know. And I thought
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: if the audience had that, like then you have them
• 41:31
  Speaker 12: leaning forward.
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: Do you know what's funny though?
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: You said that in another interview recently and I've had
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: two other black women say to me, I think you
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: said it on the podcast, yeah. And they were saying,
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: when they heard you say it, they identified as successful
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: black women because they were like, that's what we have
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: to do. We have to constantly be thinking about our audience.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: And again, not abandoning our authenticity, but like, how can
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: I be heard in this moment?
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: That's just part of how.
• 41:56
  Speaker 12: We exist in the world.
• 41:57
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I really learned that and saw that with you
• 41:59
  Speaker 25: and saw how you had to do a lot.
• 42:02
  Speaker 12: More than I had to. Because I could show up
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: and sort of, I just.
• 42:06
  Speaker 25: I felt comfortable and I'm able to have these conversations.
• 42:09
  Speaker 12: And I watched you kind of doing this whole, And
• 42:11
  Speaker 12: I realized, oh, I see. They're kind of seeing her
• 42:13
  Speaker 12: in a different way.
• 42:14
  Speaker 25: And she's having to kind of overcome some of this
• 42:16
  Speaker 25: and then show them some of that.
• 42:18
  Speaker 12: And at the same time, be like, oh, but I'm
• 42:19
  Speaker 12: not going to hurt you.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: And, you know, it was a real, it was like.
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: Kung Fu type. You know what I mean?
• 42:29
  Speaker 24: That whole thing as well makes it like where you
• 42:30
  Speaker 24: have to think about the audience and how you are
• 42:32
  Speaker 24: in the relationship and how you show up in the marriage.
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: And it's levels to this. Yeah, for sure.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I do want to say, Carrie, when somebody... who's accomplished
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: as much as Ben said that you're the best experience
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: he's ever had with another actor.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Do you feel pressure to live up to that? Or
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: do you already know you hurt?
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: No.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: He didn't say that before we started working together.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: So I didn't feel the pressure.
• 42:55
  Speaker 12: But I did feel pressure.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: I did feel a certain amount of pressure going into
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: it because... Gone Baby Gone, Argo, The Town. These are
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: some of my favorite films. And he's the common denominator there.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: So if the scenes don't work, I'm the one who
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: screwed it up. Because he obviously knows what he's doing.
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: So there was a real desire to be part of
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: something great with somebody who has a track record of
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: being a great filmmaker.
• 43:20
  Speaker 25: And I appreciate the modesty. But the truth is, you
• 43:23
  Speaker 25: work with people at a certain level. And you know
• 43:25
  Speaker 25: they're going to come with like... Carrie comes in and
• 43:28
  Speaker 25: she's like.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Look, I know.
• 43:29
  Speaker 12: I know how to do this.
• 43:30
  Speaker 25: I've been doing this a lot of years. You're the director.
• 43:32
  Speaker 25: Either you're going to help me or you're going to
• 43:34
  Speaker 25: be in my way. And if you're in her way,
• 43:37
  Speaker 25: what she's going to do is lock up. I guarantee you,
• 43:39
  Speaker 25: because as an actor, we all have, maybe you more
• 43:42
  Speaker 25: than others for, for all sorts of reasons have like
• 43:45
  Speaker 25: been in experiences where you're like.
• 43:47
  Speaker 12: You don't understand me. You're trying to what I'm doing.
• 43:49
  Speaker 12: You're going to get my way.
• 43:51
  Speaker 25: I'm going to have to just like, you know, kind
• 43:53
  Speaker 25: of lock down and just, just do what I know
• 43:56
  Speaker 25: how to do and protect myself and You got to
• 43:58
  Speaker 25: get great actors out of that to where they can
• 44:02
  Speaker 25: trust you. That's the only time they'll go, okay, I'll
• 44:04
  Speaker 25: give you a little bit. Like I learned that with
• 44:05
  Speaker 25: Morgan Freeman on my first movie. He did one take
• 44:08
  Speaker 25: and I was like, all right, Morgan, can we do
• 44:09
  Speaker 25: another one?
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: He's like, why?
• 44:11
  Speaker 12: Because I'm the director?
• 44:17
  Speaker 25: No, I was like, because I thought you were like
• 44:19
  Speaker 25: a little kind of too friendly and avuncular.
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: And he was like, okay, one more. But really what
• 44:25
  Speaker 12: he was saying to me, it was, really why I'm
• 44:28
  Speaker 12: doing this on purpose.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: I came from here.
• 44:31
  Speaker 12: It's not going to be different again, unless you tell
• 44:33
  Speaker 12: me something, because I am a master. I understand what
• 44:36
  Speaker 12: I'm doing.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: But you have to remain coachable though, right?
• 44:39
  Speaker 12: He's coachable.
• 44:40
  Speaker 25: And when I had a reason, he was like, okay,
• 44:42
  Speaker 25: he wanted to know why.
• 44:44
  Speaker 12: Cause I was like, it's too friendly. You need to
• 44:46
  Speaker 12: be a little more intimidating. And he was like, okay,
• 44:49
  Speaker 12: I get that. And then by the way, tweaked it
• 44:51
  Speaker 12: to the perfect place where it needed to be. And
• 44:53
  Speaker 12: I was like, okay.
• 44:53
  Speaker 25: And right then I felt like, okay, We have a
• 44:56
  Speaker 25: little bit of trust. If you're a master and you
• 44:59
  Speaker 25: have that.
• 44:59
  Speaker 12: Much game, like I'm not going to abuse your time.
• 45:03
  Speaker 12: You know, I have no more direction to give you.
• 45:05
  Speaker 12: What you've shown me is so excellent and beautiful. I
• 45:08
  Speaker 12: can't add to it.
• 45:09
  Speaker 25: If you want to tell me, actually, I think I
• 45:11
  Speaker 25: want to try this, this little move or that thing.
• 45:13
  Speaker 25: I'll sit here and watch it all day. But I
• 45:15
  Speaker 25: think part of it's just like, I think when you're
• 45:17
  Speaker 25: a really good actor, like Carrie, she also looking at.
• 45:19
  Speaker 12: Me going, do you understand what I'm doing? Do you
• 45:21
  Speaker 12: see what's happening or are you just.
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: But that's from experience.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm at a point in my career where
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: I don't act in a lot of stuff that I'm
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: not a producer of because I've also been in situations
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: where I get a cut for a show that I'm
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: doing and I look at the episode and I'm like
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: the director, the editor in particular, and the example I'm
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: thinking of. is not cutting my performance. They're cutting around
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: the choices I'm making. And if I wasn't the producer,
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't have a seat at the table to say, like,
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: we gotta go back in and get this differently. Here's
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: what I'm doing with this character. And that's been a
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: real learning curve for me. To take on projects where
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: I'm not a producer, it has to be with artists
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: whose eye and instinct I really trust. Because I'm not gonna.
• 46:00
  Speaker 12: Be in the edit room every day. It still felt
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: like you were the boss, though. Can we finish, Carrie? Yeah,
• 46:05
  Speaker 12: I think so.
• 46:06
  Speaker 26: Okay.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's where the business is going, though.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: The business is going to where the creators are the boss. Like,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: you know, you got Ascension Pre-Productions and you just launched something,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Artist Equity, you know, yesterday.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: Do y'all feel that way, too?
• 46:17
  Speaker 12: Here's the thing.
• 46:18
  Speaker 25: I think it's true because I think what happens is
• 46:20
  Speaker 25: that artists are recognizing, like, oh, actually, we're the scarce
• 46:23
  Speaker 25: asset here. You can see, oh, there's a real connection between,
• 46:27
  Speaker 25: you know, what I do and, like.
• 46:30
  Speaker 12: There's an economic impact.
• 46:31
  Speaker 25: Of that and you can kind of demonstrate that now
• 46:33
  Speaker 25: and so more and more people i think or this
• 46:36
  Speaker 25: is kind of what air was about which i love
• 46:38
  Speaker 25: was like going actually nope we i'll own this you
• 46:41
  Speaker 25: know what i mean i'm the one who's going to
• 46:43
  Speaker 25: go out and do it and build it with my
• 46:44
  Speaker 25: son in the case of that movie was she you
• 46:46
  Speaker 25: know dolores jordan who was like no it's gonna be
• 46:49
  Speaker 25: michael's gonna own the show Because it's either going to
• 46:52
  Speaker 25: have value or not based on what he does as
• 46:55
  Speaker 25: a player.
• 46:56
  Speaker 12: And yeah, you see.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: That in sports.
• 46:58
  Speaker 25: Obviously, that tradition then carried on. And I think you
• 47:01
  Speaker 25: see it more in media now. It took a little
• 47:03
  Speaker 25: bit longer in media because... In media, it's not quite
• 47:06
  Speaker 25: so obvious. If you're going to put 30 points up,
• 47:09
  Speaker 25: we can see that. The media is kind of like, oh,
• 47:11
  Speaker 25: I like him.
• 47:12
  Speaker 12: Oh, I don't like her.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Did all the consolidation happening in Hollywood, like you just
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: saw Paramount and Skydance coming together, did that make you
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: want to do that because you saw it as an
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: opportunity for creatives to get more projects made?
• 47:25
  Speaker 12: I think it is an opportunity.
• 47:26
  Speaker 25: I think it's ironic because David Ellison, who owns all
• 47:30
  Speaker 25: that now, started out you know as a having his
• 47:33
  Speaker 25: own independent company and i remember talking to him and
• 47:35
  Speaker 25: going hey there's all these studios out there they need
• 47:38
  Speaker 25: people that can do projects and bring that to them
• 47:40
  Speaker 25: now he's that guy so i feel like okay you
• 47:43
  Speaker 25: know this is somebody who at least understands that and
• 47:46
  Speaker 25: and where it's like yeah i think it's very difficult
• 47:49
  Speaker 25: if you're running this big company to make a whole
• 47:51
  Speaker 25: bunch of uh movies and make them well or a
• 47:54
  Speaker 25: bunch of television shows like the more you kind of
• 47:56
  Speaker 25: put that into one building with one group of people
• 47:59
  Speaker 25: i think the more value there is for people from
• 48:01
  Speaker 25: the outside to show up and say you know look
• 48:03
  Speaker 25: you saw that with uh you see it all the
• 48:04
  Speaker 25: time sinners right like those guys showed up and they
• 48:07
  Speaker 25: were like we have this movie who's gonna buy it
• 48:09
  Speaker 25: right and they were able to get you know a
• 48:12
  Speaker 25: really interesting kind of breakthrough deal for that movie where
• 48:15
  Speaker 25: they owned the reversion rights to it not only did
• 48:18
  Speaker 25: it make money for brothers they're thrilled right it's a
• 48:20
  Speaker 25: big hit But also like.
• 48:22
  Speaker 12: Ryan and Mike, they kept like they.
• 48:24
  Speaker 25: Own the long term value of the movie, which you never,
• 48:28
  Speaker 25: ever get. And so they were kind of like, actually, no,
• 48:30
  Speaker 25: we we want to keep that value.
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: And it was real controversial. Some people were very upset
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: at the studios because they're like, you're breaking this tradition
• 48:37
  Speaker 12: and artists are going to own everything.
• 48:40
  Speaker 25: And for them to do that, I thought was. brilliant
• 48:43
  Speaker 25: and look it's not easy you kind of have to
• 48:45
  Speaker 25: be Ryan and Mike to walk in and be like
• 48:48
  Speaker 25: we have a great film and everybody wants it so
• 48:51
  Speaker 25: bid on it but nonetheless it speaks to your point
• 48:53
  Speaker 25: of that's the direction that it's really.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Moving if you walked into the new Paramount tomorrow Carrie
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: right and what would you need to hear from the
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: new leadership to believe they're genuinely investing in diverse.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: Storytelling genuinely Investing in diverse storytellers. I think part of
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: it is not just green lighting projects, but allowing leadership,
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: making sure that the people who are telling the stories
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: are authoring the stories or are owning the stories, but
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: then also standing behind this programming in terms of mobilizing.
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: In terms of giving shows a chance to live and breathe.
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: So it's sort of like, how are they engaging with
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: the material from the very beginning, investing in new voices,
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: and then how are they living with the projects all
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: the way through? So it'll take time to see really.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: What their commitment is.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: But I also think To invest in diverse storytelling is
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: just to invest in great storytelling. Like, are they invested
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: in innovative new voices without regard to having to limit
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: certain voices or encourage certain voices? Like, there are always
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: going to be great stories from every corner of society.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: So I just hope that that's what continues to happen
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: in the business is that we all get to be
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: telling these stories.
• 50:02
  Speaker 13: Mm-hmm.
• 50:03
  Speaker 12: That's what seems so obvious to me. I've never once
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: said to myself, like, let me go get diverse people
• 50:08
  Speaker 12: for this.
• 50:08
  Speaker 25: You have this Korean cat and this black girl.
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: And these two Mexican guys.
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: I think that's when it gets whack.
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: Never cross my mind. That's not about humanity.
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: I just want something good.
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's kind of token.
• 50:20
  Speaker 25: And then you're like, oh, and then this person can
• 50:22
  Speaker 25: only do that.
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: And then you're like, I'm bored. It doesn't look like
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: real life.
• 50:25
  Speaker 25: The truth is, like, it's a good for you because
• 50:28
  Speaker 25: you're getting the best people. Like, and so for me,
• 50:32
  Speaker 25: it really, it wasn't, none of that crossed my mind.
• 50:35
  Speaker 25: I just was like, let me get the best people
• 50:37
  Speaker 25: with these experiences and create this story that's combustible and provocative.
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: And then we lean into it.
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: And then it's like, and then it's, it's yeah.
• 50:46
  Speaker 25: So I feel like that idea that they need to
• 50:48
  Speaker 25: be somehow like, it's just good business.
• 50:51
  Speaker 12: Let's just put it that way. It's just good storytelling
• 50:53
  Speaker 12: and good business.
• 50:54
  Speaker 25: Otherwise you're going to tell, Boring stories that are going
• 50:56
  Speaker 25: to leave out a piece of the audience and leave
• 50:57
  Speaker 25: out a piece of this experience of life, which is
• 51:00
  Speaker 25: not one of.
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: Like a monoculture, you know what I mean? It's like,
• 51:04
  Speaker 12: here we all are.
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: Living this world together. People always say.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: To me, like, oh, why are you so committed to
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: telling political stories or stories that center people of color
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: or center women?
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: It's like, because I'm a lead character.
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: Like, if I'm a lead character on the show, you're
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: going to call that political just because I'm in a
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: black body and a female body.
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: But I'm just telling stories that I can tell.
• 51:21
  Speaker 12: Why are you telling stories about black women?
• 51:23
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: You know, Ben, what you was interested in, right, because
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: people will love you. Do they? You see what.
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: I'm talking about?
• 51:31
  Speaker 12: It's like, I don't need to be married to a
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: black woman.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: That's actually what you do.
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: It was a little close.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: They do love you, but they seem entertained whenever you
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: look miserable. You've become a meme just for looking unhappy. Like,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: does that ever bother you, that people find.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Humor in what they assume is you being unhappy? It
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: doesn't bother me. Maybe you should.
• 51:57
  Speaker 12: I'm like, should I? Maybe I should be offended by this.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: The cigarette smoking one, classic.
• 52:04
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I think it's honestly because I kind of, I
• 52:06
  Speaker 25: feel like if that was me, I would get it too.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yep.
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: I think the idea is like, okay, well, it doesn't
• 52:11
  Speaker 12: matter who you are. Like, you're going to have days like.
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: This, right?
• 52:14
  Speaker 12: Like, everybody feels a little bit like, damn, the world
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: is on my shoulders. Things are not going right. I've
• 52:19
  Speaker 12: certainly had moments in my life where that was also
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: very true.
• 52:23
  Speaker 25: So people know, like, yep, this guy's been through plenty
• 52:26
  Speaker 25: of ups and downs.
• 52:27
  Speaker 12: I don't know why you're laughing. See what I'm saying?
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: Because you hear what it's now.
• 52:32
  Speaker 22: You made it through.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: But it's like, I'm cool with that. Really, I am.
• 52:36
  Speaker 12: I feel like I'm very lucky. I'm grateful. Many of
• 52:39
  Speaker 12: the failures, the adversities I had in my life have
• 52:41
  Speaker 12: kind of allowed me to learn what I've learned. I
• 52:43
  Speaker 12: didn't learn.
• 52:44
  Speaker 25: anything from success, except to just try to repeat it
• 52:47
  Speaker 25: and get defensive.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: And you know what I mean?
• 52:48
  Speaker 25: But you learn from, one thing you learn from failure,
• 52:51
  Speaker 25: getting knocked down is like, it's not going to kill you.
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: You know what I mean? You actually can get back
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: up and you can, and then when you see, you
• 52:58
  Speaker 12: can do that, you're like, I can take more risks.
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: You know, okay, what's the worst that can happen?
• 53:02
  Speaker 25: I've already kind of dealt with that. And, uh, I
• 53:05
  Speaker 25: kind of think it's funny. Also, my kids, that's the
• 53:07
  Speaker 25: only thing they care about in their mind. That's like
• 53:09
  Speaker 25: the only thing.
• 53:10
  Speaker 12: They're like, at least you're a meme. They're like, just.
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: Any meme is good.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: Your family's group chat is full of memes of you, bitch.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 53:18
  Speaker 24: The Dunkin' Donuts. It was the door slam video. That
• 53:23
  Speaker 24: was at the thing.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, the door slam. Hilarious.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: It was so many men that was like, oh, I
• 53:27
  Speaker 8: felt this.
• 53:29
  Speaker 12: Like, these guys never spilled anything.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: Guess what?
• 53:31
  Speaker 12: You didn't have something in the camera. Ian got you
• 53:34
  Speaker 12: right when you spilled it.
• 53:35
  Speaker 25: But, you know, it is that, like, the only thing
• 53:37
  Speaker 25: more embarrassing than that is, like, you ever see somebody, like,
• 53:39
  Speaker 25: riding their bike and fall over?
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: That's... Has that happened to you? Has it happened?
• 53:43
  Speaker 12: That's why I don't ride a bike.
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: That's why I don't read that.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: Man, I feel bad.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: So you've genuinely been going through painful things while the
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: internet was laughing at.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: You, like, sometimes?
• 53:52
  Speaker 12: Like, in those moments, some of them, honestly, just the
• 53:54
  Speaker 12: way I look, I just probably came out of.
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: The sun and was like, oh, f * * *,
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: I'm tired.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: And it's like.
• 53:58
  Speaker 12: It looks like, damn, this world's on its shows.
• 54:00
  Speaker 25: If they were moments that was like, oh, that was
• 54:03
  Speaker 25: the day that, you know, whatever, somebody.
• 54:05
  Speaker 12: Died, then I'd be like, hey, that's not. But I
• 54:07
  Speaker 12: think it's, I mean, look, I could take a joke.
• 54:09
  Speaker 25: I think you need to be able to be, if
• 54:11
  Speaker 25: you're going to be in front of the world and
• 54:12
  Speaker 25: you're going to be asking that you've got to, these days,
• 54:14
  Speaker 25: if you don't have a sense of humor about yourself,
• 54:16
  Speaker 25: if you're not able to take a joke, you're in
• 54:19
  Speaker 25: a lot of trouble. Like that stuff, honestly, I kind
• 54:22
  Speaker 25: of see it for what it is. Like this life
• 54:24
  Speaker 25: is a carnival. And the dogs are going to bark
• 54:26
  Speaker 25: at the floats as they go by.
• 54:28
  Speaker 12: You know what I mean? And so there's always going
• 54:29
  Speaker 12: to be kind of some attention.
• 54:31
  Speaker 25: And what I've really learned in, I don't know, it's
• 54:33
  Speaker 25: been a lot of decades out in front of there
• 54:35
  Speaker 25: is like.
• 54:36
  Speaker 12: Half the shit I don't even remember.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 54:38
  Speaker 25: Honestly, I've forgotten plenty of things that people... What really
• 54:41
  Speaker 25: trips me out is all the people who, if I
• 54:43
  Speaker 25: get like, indeed, I'm like, I can't believe they said this.
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: This isn't true.
• 54:46
  Speaker 12: And people are like, hey, this is the bargain that
• 54:48
  Speaker 12: you made. And then that person ends up in the papers.
• 54:51
  Speaker 12: They're on the phone for 15 minutes, the New York Post, like,
• 54:53
  Speaker 12: you need to correct this. I'm like, oh, what happened
• 54:55
  Speaker 12: to the bargain you made?
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: But it's the burden of being who y'all are, right? Like,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: there's a burden of being Kerry Washington to a certain extent.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: There's a burden of being Ben Affleck to a.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: Certain extent, right?
• 55:04
  Speaker 12: You get a lot of good things.
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: There's a lot tougher jobs with bigger burdens than ours.
• 55:11
  Speaker 12: You could have a lot of suffering and be laying brick.
• 55:14
  Speaker 25: You know what I mean? Like kind of nobody's taking
• 55:16
  Speaker 25: your picture and nobody sees it. And it's just hard.
• 55:19
  Speaker 25: I actually think that there's some, some of that is
• 55:21
  Speaker 25: why they're like, makes people feel good.
• 55:23
  Speaker 12: Like, it's like.
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: It's all over the place.
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: I'm not the only one.
• 55:28
  Speaker 12: And I really don't mind that because the truth is
• 55:30
  Speaker 12: life can.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: Be hard on you sometimes. I don't care who you are.
• 55:32
  Speaker 12: Like, We face challenges. Life is not just going to
• 55:36
  Speaker 12: lay itself out for you, you know, you're going to
• 55:38
  Speaker 12: have to overcome some stuff and deal with stuff. And honestly,
• 55:41
  Speaker 12: I've been held a lot luckier than most people. So
• 55:42
  Speaker 12: I don't have a lot to complain about.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: Either one of you ever wonder who you would have
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: become if you hadn't gotten famous?
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: That's such an interesting question. I think I would like
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: what we would have done. Because I think I would
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: like to think that I'd be the same person in
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: terms of my values, the things that I care about.
• 56:00
  Speaker 12: So we'll have the same face.
• 56:01
  Speaker 8: People that I love.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: Less massages. But I probably would be a teacher is
• 56:10
  Speaker 8: what I would be doing. I could so see you
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: doing that. Yeah, I mean, my mom is a retired
• 56:14
  Speaker 8: professor of education.
• 56:15
  Speaker 17: What?
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: I can see.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: Something, you know what I mean?
• 56:19
  Speaker 12: You'd be running some industry type. I mean, she's like,
• 56:22
  Speaker 12: she would be dominating things.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: It's my opinion.
• 56:25
  Speaker 12: Like there's somebody who has every opportunity.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: That she's had. She's always made the most of it.
• 56:29
  Speaker 12: Oh, let me go write a novel.
• 56:30
  Speaker 8: Let me have this podcast.
• 56:33
  Speaker 25: There's no end to Carrie's kind of ambition to, and
• 56:37
  Speaker 25: not ambition for the sake of like, let go. I
• 56:39
  Speaker 25: want to rule the world, but like, Hey, I have
• 56:41
  Speaker 25: something to say. Let me express myself in this way.
• 56:43
  Speaker 25: And let me look at the system as it exists and,
• 56:45
  Speaker 25: figure out a way to navigate that, build it, and
• 56:47
  Speaker 25: be successful.
• 56:48
  Speaker 12: You've done that in 15 different ways.
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: Part of that is also like, I think some of
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: that is the pressure of having a grandmother who came
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: here through Ellis Island and worked to clean houses. It's
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: like if I have an opportunity in front of me,
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: I'm so terrified to waste it. I'm so terrified to
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: not live to my fullest potential because it feels like
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: not everybody gets the opportunities.
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: That we get.
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: What about you, Ben?
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Is there a version of you that you feel like
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: you never got the opportunity to become?
• 57:12
  Speaker 12: You know, that's an interesting question. It's just like these
• 57:15
  Speaker 12: roads that are untaken. You don't know.
• 57:17
  Speaker 25: I know that I wanted to be an actor and
• 57:19
  Speaker 25: I wanted to be a filmmaker. I wanted to do
• 57:20
  Speaker 25: this from a very young age. I think I could
• 57:22
  Speaker 25: easily imagine not having had breaks and opportunities and being
• 57:26
  Speaker 25: less successful in that capacity because I was down to
• 57:28
  Speaker 25: be like, all right, well, maybe I'll do plays or
• 57:30
  Speaker 25: maybe I'll do something. I could imagine being a cinematographer
• 57:33
  Speaker 25: and being really interested in that.
• 57:34
  Speaker 12: I would have probably picked something around this. It was like,
• 57:37
  Speaker 12: how much would I have been able to get to?
• 57:39
  Speaker 12: I was driven... Really, honestly, because my father, I viewed
• 57:44
  Speaker 12: him as a failure. Like, this was a guy who
• 57:47
  Speaker 12: could not get.
• 57:47
  Speaker 25: A job, who had a lot of problems, who was
• 57:49
  Speaker 25: a drunk, who was always, like, getting fired. And also said, oh,
• 57:53
  Speaker 25: you know, I'm going to be a writer or whatever
• 57:55
  Speaker 25: it was.
• 57:55
  Speaker 12: And I was like, dude, you can't even fix a Toyota.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 57:58
  Speaker 12: Like, at the auditorium, you know, like.
• 58:01
  Speaker 25: Or be a bartender or, you know, he was a
• 58:03
  Speaker 25: janitor for at Harvard, which is where the good one
• 58:05
  Speaker 25: thing sort of idea came from. And for me, a
• 58:08
  Speaker 25: lot of my youth was, was driven from, I'm not
• 58:10
  Speaker 25: going to be that, you know.
• 58:11
  Speaker 12: I'm not going to fail. I'm not going to be broke.
• 58:13
  Speaker 12: I'm going to get a job. I'm going to make money.
• 58:14
  Speaker 25: My goal was to be not say I'm an actor
• 58:17
  Speaker 25: slash waiter slash.
• 58:19
  Speaker 12: I want to actually be a living doing this.
• 58:21
  Speaker 25: It really was that like, to me, that was success
• 58:24
  Speaker 25: to not have to kind of qualify with something else
• 58:27
  Speaker 25: and have another job.
• 58:27
  Speaker 12: Like if I, I think I put too much emphasis
• 58:30
  Speaker 12: actually on money in some ways. Yeah. Cause that can
• 58:35
  Speaker 12: mess you up and make you bad choices. You know,
• 58:36
  Speaker 12: like you start making choices just.
• 58:38
  Speaker 25: Based on money and this business, you're going to do
• 58:41
  Speaker 25: stuff that's, you know, oftentimes isn't as good.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: It's so funny.
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: I always say to people, I'm very practiced at saying
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: no in this business because from very early on, I
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: would read a script and be like, this is a
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: terrible film for a black woman. Like the stereotype that
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: is being perpetuated in this project. There's no way I
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: could forgive myself to do this. So, I'd rather work
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: three more shifts in the restaurant than take on this role.
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: So I had to start doing those choices very early.
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: Hollywood shuffle style.
• 59:03
  Speaker 12: It's always a job at the post office.
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm glad that you are, Ben Affleck, because we
• 59:08
  Speaker 8: wouldn't have the memes.
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: And I'm glad that you are, Carrie Washington, because we
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: got some memes for you, too.
• 59:15
  Speaker 12: That's great.
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: And Jess said you're her favorite daredevil. Thank you.
• 59:19
  Speaker 11: You are.
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: That made me feel good.
• 59:22
  Speaker 8: I have this podcast that you don't agree with.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Animals, out today on Netflix. Make sure you check it out.
• 59:29

  Speaker 4: He left.

  Speaker 8: But I said, yo, what if you meet Jackie Chan?

  Speaker 8: Did you run into Jackie Chan? He was like, no, no, no.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 8: I'm sure.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, so you was being racist, but you ended up
• 1:00:08

  Speaker 8: No, I wasn't being racist.

  Speaker 8: He was like, I can make it.

  Speaker 4: And he shot the ball. He didn't need the accent.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: It's time for the latest with Lauren. That's what he said.

  Speaker 4: city in China. Oh, God.

  Speaker 8: He owns properties.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: Okay. You said a city.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 24: So that's... Let's get into some Grammy conversations. So the
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 24: Grammys are going to be going down in February. We
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 24: do not know any of the nominees yet, but there
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 24: are some submissions that are circulating online reportedly that fans
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 24: are excited about. One of them that I wanted to
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 24: talk about was Walei. Now, we had Wale up here
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 24: when he was promoting Everything Is A Lot, which is
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 24: his album that he last dropped. And there's been a
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 24: big conversation about Everything Is A Lot being that album
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 24: for Wale that gets him the, I guess you would
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 24: say the nod or the awards or whatever it is.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 24: It's just due from the fans, but also from the,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 24: you know, the Grammy.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: That album didn't come out this year, though.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 8: So listen, you can submit.

  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 24: And the first round of voting goes down October 12th,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 24: 2026 and ends October 22nd. Now, that first round of
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 24: voting is what determines the actual nominees. And then the

• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: Now, he reportedly submitted for Album of the Year.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 24: In that category, reportedly, will probably be Kehlani, Don Tolliver,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 24: Cardi B as well. But I think, you know, fans
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 24: are just excited to see that maybe this will be
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 24: the year when he gets his Just Do.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: That would be fantastic for Wale.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'm about to say Wale deserves it,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: but the reality of the situation is the album deserves it.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 8: Oh my God, yes. Such a great album.
• 1:02:34

• 1:03:54
  Speaker 8: Yes. Now we're going to shift gears again.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 24: But this time I do want to give you guys
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 24: just a heads up or a warning that the things
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 24: that we're going to talk about may be a bit
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 24: graphic and sensitive. So Little John, who is working with
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 24: Charlamagne Tha God to publish his book, I only shout
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 24: so you can hear me. There are some excerpts from
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 24: the book that are circulating. Daily Mail did this exclusive
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 24: and he's revealing, Little John, the last conversation, the last
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 24: heartbreaking text exchange that he had with his son before
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 24: his son passed away. And in this conversation and after
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 24: and in talking about it, little John is questioning whether
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 24: he was too hard on his son during his struggles
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 24: with anxiety and the physical pain that came from Nathan's anxiety.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 8: So we'll get into some of the conversation.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 24: So one of the texts says, Nathan is talking to
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 24: Little John about just the anxiety and different things that
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 24: he's going through. Little John says that it was to
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 24: a point where Nathan physically couldn't even get himself up
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 24: off of the couch sometimes. He was about to release
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 24: new music and he was very nervous about how that
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 24: music would be received. So Little John texts Nathan and says,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 24: I'm on you because I love you. I care about
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 24: you and I want you to get better. Nathan says,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 24: I'm getting there. I've been going through a lot. I'm
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 24: working through it. Give me some credit. And Little John
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 24: then mentions that he felt like Nathan felt like little
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 24: John was being a bit hard on him. And then
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 24: they say that there was a text shortly before Nathan's passing.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 24: And Nathan vowed to stop letting fear get in the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 24: way of the things that he was doing. The text says,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 24: I love you, Dad. I got so much love for you.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 24: I'm going to stop letting fear hold me back. My
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 24: love for you is stronger than my fear. And I'm
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 24: going to get on supplements today. I know that my
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 24: family bond is strong because our whole family really argues
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 24: only because we care. And little John responded, I do
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 24: care a lot. You are my only son, and I
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 24: worry about you a lot. You are so talented and
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 24: so smart. Nothing should be holding you back. And Nathan
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 24: was scheduled to actually speak to his therapist later that day,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 24: but that did not happen. And the following day is
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 24: when little John got the phone call that Nathan was missing. So, yeah,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 24: he's just having a conversation about, you know....
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: That that time and I.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 24: Don't know if I would say regret but more so
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 24: like how things are handled and how you go about
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 24: that but it's difficult it's very difficult because you want
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 24: the best for the.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 8: People you love and you know your children.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 24: Yes yes um and you you know you love them
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 24: but he says that his son was struggling with things
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 24: and he was you know just trying to be there
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 24: as his father.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish John didn't even have to add those
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: chapters to his memoir, meaning that I wish his son
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: was still here. Like, no parent should have to experience that,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and no parent should have to write about that. But,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: you know, one of the interesting things about Lord John's
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: book is the healing journey that John went on himself,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: the work he did to himself. And I know that
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: work that he did to himself, you know, helped him
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: when he had to deal with the passing of his son. So,

  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. Good morning. Who's this?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 14: It's Trey.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Trey.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: Trey?
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 8: Trey.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: Just Trey.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 8: Like Trey songs.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, how are you, Trey? Who you want to give
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: the biggest hee-haw to?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 16: Hey, I want to give the biggest hee-haw to all
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 16: the non-Black people. Oh, got you, got you.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: Got you, got you, got you, got you. What were
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: they saying? I didn't see it.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 16: They were just basically saying, you know, we already know
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 16: who it is without even looking and calling it. You know,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 16: it's a bunch of monkeys and all that. When white
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 16: people are the most prominent in mass shootings, though, you know,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 16: just talking about the side of their neck.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the crazy thing about mass shootings, we know who,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: you know, does the majority of them in this country
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: is usually, you know, white males, young white males. But also,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: it's not a discrimination thing when them bullets start flying. Like,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: anybody can get it when somebody just pulls up into
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: a random mall or a random school and just starts firing.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: So, you know, I think everybody should be a little
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: cautious of how they speak on them things.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: Damn, man.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 16: I'm sorry to hear that, brother.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm sorry to hear that, man. I hope the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: community recovers from that, brother.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: Appreciate it, bro.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: And listen, all I stated was a fact just now.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: The majority of perpetrators in the U.S. public mass shootings
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: are white. Okay, that's according to data from the National
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: Institute of Justice, Public Mass Shootings, and Rockefeller Institute of Government. 52%
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: to 54.6% of all mass shooters are white.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: Who's this?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 16: Good morning, good morning.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 14: This is GB from the Bronx.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: GB, you're the last one, brother. Make it good.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: You know the craziest people in America come from the
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: Bronx and all of Florida? Who do you want to
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: give the biggest hee-haw to, sir?
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 16: Oh, man, yeah.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: I want to give y'all a donkey of the day today.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 17: Okay.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, I want to give y'all
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: a baby donkey.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 14: It's not even that big.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 23: So basically, I have Mimi Brown on her segment doing
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 23: her reports or whatever.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: Tamiya always has her head down.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 23: I understand she has to read off the paper or whatever.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 23: She can just like some way set her up with
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 23: a teleprompter or whatever it is I use. But if
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 23: y'all face forward to the camera, we need to see
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 23: her beautiful face. She's a gorgeous woman.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: Well, you see her beautiful face.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: First of all, Mimi is shy. Mimi is shy, first
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: of all. She's very shy, number one. So now you're
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: just making her even more insecure about her shyness.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: Her head is not always down, y'all. But still, y'all
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: on TV.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 23: We don't want to see your forehead.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 17: I gave her the.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 20: Oh, you're going to see this.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll relay the note.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 22: Keep your head up.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: Keep your head up.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: Be professional, right?
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 14: That's what it's about, right?
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: Yo, stop shaming people for being shy, yo. Okay, now
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: what you going to tell her next?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 12: Smile?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: I'm shy. I'm literally shy.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 23: I just started talking to people in my 20s, and
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 23: I'm 45.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: Don't blame that on shyness. You was autistic. Because he
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: was on that spectrum.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 16: Yo, I love y'all.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 12: Love you too, y'all.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: He just started to talk to people in his 20s.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: Tell them because he was shy. You autistic just like
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: the rest of us. Cut it out.

  Speaker 1: All right? All right. That's the People's Donkey. We do

• 1:14:53
  Speaker 21: You know, what I'm really excited about this year, so
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 21: this is the sixth year. We have been doing this
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 21: for five years. I've been it every year. You know,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 21: it gets bigger. And I think our message is even
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 21: stronger this year. You know, this year we're taking it
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 21: to the next level. I think we've really done an
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 21: incredible job. The Mental Wealth Alliance of you know, helping
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 21: to destigmatize, helping to really mainstream conversations about mental health.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 20: And this year is the year of tools. It's a
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 20: year of solutions.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 21: It's a year of, you know, integration and workshops. We
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 21: have to stop theorizing our healing and really like get
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 21: into the practices that make it come to life and
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 21: make it true. So we can change, we can transform,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 21: we can have the kind of relationships we deserve to have,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 21: the families, the communities we deserve to have.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Now, Deb's been on the board of the Mental Wealth
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: Alliance since the beginning. Like, you know, we founded the
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: Mental Wealth Alliance together, but you've been a participant the
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: last five years in the Expo, but this year you
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: curated all of the programming. How stressful was that? How
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: stressful was that for you?
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 21: Okay, very, but I do have to say, like, we
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 21: are so lucky to have iHeart as a partner because, like,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 21: the team here has been absolutely incredible and And every year,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 21: they're just the masters of putting on, like, really engaging, like,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 21: incredible events. So we have an amazing team. We have

• 1:16:17
  Speaker 21: We're going to have a special heart moment on the stage.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 21: But I wanted to bring, like, more nuanced conversations to
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 21: the table. I think, you know, and these are all valuable,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 21: but I think we've just moved past it. For the
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 21: last several years, there's been so many conversations of, like,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 21: Around anxiety, around depression. But we got to talk about
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 21: some of the deeper things that happen to in mental
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 21: health conversation. So one of the panels that we're going
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 21: to have is all about, you know, what to do
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 21: after you receive a diagnosis. You know, those living with
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 21: mental illness, those caretaking for people that are mentally ill.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 21: So we have an incredible panel with. Elliot Connie, Dr.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 20: Rita Walker, Dr. Jay Barnett, just three of the best
• 1:16:56

  Speaker 4: Definitely.

  Speaker 20: Trent Outloud.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 21: And we're going to be talking, you know, if you
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 21: have a diagnosis of bipolar or personality disorder, such a
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 21: multitude of things, you know, what are some ways that
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 21: you can still really thrive in life and move forward
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 21: and have, you know, all the relationships and experiences you
• 1:17:14

• 1:17:25
  Speaker 21: And he's going to be bringing that to life and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 21: leading a workshop on healthy communication. So, you know, for
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 21: those of us out there that are like, okay, I'm
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 21: tired of getting triggered and talking about my triggers.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 20: And I'm ready to learn, like.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 21: What are the real skills so that doesn't take over
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 21: my life. We're going to be diving into that. Self-care practices, meditation,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 21: breath work.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 20: Parenting wounds.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 21: We're talking about inner child healing in a really, you know, deep,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 21: expansive way with the tools to say, okay, if this
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 21: was my experience, how do I move past it?
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 20: So, yeah, really, I mean, we are.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 21: Just bringing so much to life and we're finally getting
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 21: into the nuance of these conversations.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: And it's a free event tomorrow at the Joelle and
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Diane Bloom Wellness and Event Center in Newark, New Jersey.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: Starts at 11 a.m. I wanted to ask you, Dev, what.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: Are you seeing in people emotionally and spiritually this year?
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. that made you say, this is what we need
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: We need to just focus on solutions and pathways to
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: healing at the mental health.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 20: People really want tools. They're tired of talking about it.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 21: You know, I think for a long time, we can
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 21: all use anything to avoid ourselves, including sometimes therapy, you know,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 21: self-awareness isn't the same thing as like emotional maturity. And
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 21: that's what changes your life. Like making new decisions in
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 21: real time, practicing, experimenting with yourself. You know, when you
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 21: leave a therapy session, getting into the world and saying,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 21: let me really try this. these things that I'm learning.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 21: Sometimes you're going to get it wrong. Sometimes you're going
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 21: to get it right. But the practice, the repetition of
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 21: it is what changes your life. And so, you know,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 21: I think even when, you know, I had the blessing
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 21: to come on the show to talk about my book,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 21: Living in Wisdom, like that's what my book is about.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 21: It's like, let's stop theorizing. Let's put it into practice.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 21: Let's stop You know, owning all this language and actually
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 21: change our choices to change our lives. And we all
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 21: deserve like real examples of how to do that. You know,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 21: I think it's easy. You know, we'll tell kids stuff
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 21: like just breathe, you know, just breathe. OK, like they
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 21: just got to earth. Show them with your body. Show
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 21: them with your emotional regulation how to do that.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 20: And we don't always know how to do that naturally.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 21: And so you come to an experience like this tomorrow,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 21: we have a full day of programming, 11 to 4.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 21: We're taking it from breakout rooms. We're having main stage conversations.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 21: We have an incredible book village that's coming to life.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 20: Huge, huge shout out to Village Books, Dr.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 15: Keith Hallman.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 21: We're going to have every person that's there with their
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 21: book There's going to be signings. There's going to be conversations.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 20: So it's like.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 15: So Dr.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: Rita Walker with the Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health. Yeah,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: a classic.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: With all his solution-focused therapy books. Debbie Brown's books, you know,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: Living in Wisdom. Who else got books? It's a lot
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: of people.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, everybody.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 8: Pierre, Dr. J. Yeah, I got a new one.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: New York Times bestseller, yep.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 21: Like, almost everyone that we have coming... is somebody that
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 21: is changing the game in mental health and in wellness.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 21: And then we have, I mean, just one of the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 21: greatest to ever do it, Dr.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 20: Yama Vanzant is joining us.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 8: What?
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 20: My little inner child is going to be jumping up.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: And down all day.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 21: So she is paired with Dr. Julius Thomas, who's a really,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 21: really brilliant doctor in this space who was a former
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 21: NFL player. Went to school, got his doctorate, like, and
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 21: is now helping to transform other athlete lives. He works
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 21: with the San Antonio Spurs. And so that conversation is
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 21: going to be how to heal the heart and rewire
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 21: the brain. So we're taking the spiritual healing and that
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 21: kind of like emotional understanding to the next level. And
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 21: he's going to be talking with her about ways to
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 21: actually change the way you think. Because I think a
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 21: lot of times we have hard things happen to us.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 21: We want to move past it. But a lot of
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 21: times you can have ruminating thoughts. You can have those
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 21: intrusive thoughts where You just can't get your mind out
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 21: of it.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 20: And so those are some of the things.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 21: That we hope to address, to talk about, to give
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 21: people an opportunity to just learn more about. And everything
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 21: doesn't get fixed in one day, but being exposed to
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 21: all the different ways that that you uniquely can change
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 21: your life is such a, it's a powerful start.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 24: I do, or statement, you know what I realized a
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 24: lot more this year is that I have so many
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 24: friends that are in the space that are wanting to
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 24: be involved and they're young and they work in different fields,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 24: but they have this background of like therapy or like
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 24: social work or something. And I didn't know that so
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 24: many people were having a conversation across so many different
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 24: professional fields.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 20: Oh my God.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 21: I mean, it's what affects everything about our lives.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I had no idea.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 21: The human experience. And I think that's so fair because
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 21: a lot of us don't even imagine that the stuff
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 21: going on inside of us affects our lives to the
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 21: extent that it does.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 20: But everything is ruled by it.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 21: And so also to any young professionals in this space,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 21: any seasoned professionals in this space, we would love to collaborate.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 21: You know, we've been doing this for the last six years,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 21: but we want to take this across the country. And
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 21: so this is our plan, you know, moving forward, like
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 21: being able to bring all of this into more communities
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 21: into more environments, into more households.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: So people ask that all the time. They'll call up
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: and say, we need to do this more than once
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: a year.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we can do the whole expo
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: more than once a year, but like smaller events throughout
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: In different places.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 20: That's the plan. I mean, this is something you've been
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 20: passionate about.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 21: We've been friends almost 20 years and even without all
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 21: the language that this has been important to you since
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 21: I've known you, you know? Um, so I'm, I'm excited
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 21: for us to let this spread. We got to get
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 21: into some other cities in 2027. We need to bring
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 21: this into all the communities that deserve it.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 6: I also feel like the youth needs it as well,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: but how would you encourage the youth to take that
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: mental health seriously?
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 8: Um, especially when.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 6: They're in the world right now where they're trying to
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: figure out who they are, figure out how to fit in,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: figure out how to keep up because, Social media is
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 6: a big stressor as well. You know, it's moneymaker. It's,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 6: you know, it can be whatever you use it for.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: But it also contributes to a lot of mental illness
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: as well. It shatters confidence. And it got you thinking
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 6: that you in a race that you ain't even in.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 6: And I see it a lot with the youth. How
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 6: do I know you can't change everything in one day,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 6: like you just said, with the Mental Wealth Expo. But
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 6: how can you encourage the youth to take it seriously?
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: to take it serious as well.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 20: To be honest, as adults, we have to step it up.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 22: All of us.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 21: It's our job to role model for the youth. You know,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 21: the thing I feel like something I hear a lot
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 21: is a lot of youth judgment.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 20: Like there's a lot of ways that we're like, ah,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 20: these kids in these screens, who bought it?
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 8: Who gave it to them?
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 20: Who wired their brains?
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 21: You know, we have to also like fundamentally look at
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 21: how things work, their biology and You know, their mental development,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 21: their emotional development at the ages that they are at.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 20: And we need to come down to their level.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 21: I think a lot of adults do so much talking
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 21: at young people and not enough real role modeling through
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 21: their behavior and not enough supportive understanding. Like, what do
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 21: you actually need at that age? Definitely isn't more judgment.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 21: You know, it's more so like, well, what else? What
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 21: is another option? You know, our young people are alive
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 21: as themselves for the first time. They've only been here,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 21: you know, 10 years, 20 years at the most. We
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 21: have to show them and stop just picking apart the
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 21: way they do things because their whole lives are modeled
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 21: after ours. We set these generations that are underneath us
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 21: up for all the ways that they're living right now.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 21: And we're expecting them to like raw dog this digital
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 21: world that we threw them into.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 8: Straight up went and jumped out. No, she didn't. She right.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: But that's why I love Kier Gaines. He is really
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 6: good for the youth and like, especially young black brothers
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 6: who are going through, you know, they're going through things
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: that they're going through trauma.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 8: Childhood experiences.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 6: Whether they live a life or they live lives in
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: the streets and they trying to, you know, turn legit.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 6: Like he is a good brother for that. Because he's
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 6: from the DMV. I'm from the DMV. And when I
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 6: sat down with him, he really, he catered to a
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 6: lot of like, Like how he used to be and
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 6: how he... I always say, if I'm going to get
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: a therapist, I don't want a therapist who has never
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: been through anything. Because how can you relate to me?
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 6: How can you properly assess me?
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: Culturally competent.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, right.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: And that's exactly what I felt when I sat down
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: with him. So I'm glad y'all got him on the lineup.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 20: He's really special and amazing. And I think that's what.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 21: So many of our incredible specialists that are coming tomorrow
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 21: and I really want to stress that like this is
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 21: not some influencer event, right? Like no disrespect, but this
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 21: is not people with just like ideas or like good
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 21: quotes about things and a bunch of followers.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 20: Like what does that mean?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 21: Like this is really about people that have dedicated their
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 21: actual lives to this who have lived experience. You know,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 21: one of the other things that we're having in a
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 21: breakout session is We're having this incredible breakout room with
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 21: Judge William Dawson called A Courtroom and Community.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 20: Perspective on Healing and Transformation.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 21: So for those that find themselves in the system or
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 21: have family members or loved ones that are, what's the
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 21: healing journey for that? Those are the kind of conversations
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 21: we're going to explore. And I'm excited to bring it
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 21: past just conversations and not to downplay it, but We
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 21: got to stop talking.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 20: About, yeah, I have anxiety. Yeah, me too. Yeah, sometimes
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 20: I feel depressed. Yeah, me too.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 4: What's the solution?
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 21: Powerful.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 20: But what are the ways that.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 21: We can work with that? Even the things that we
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 21: can't change, right? Like how do we help alleviate some
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 21: suffering in ourselves and other people?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you, is there a danger in
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: turning healing into an identity? Meaning like some people have
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: been on a healing journey for so long that I
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: wonder if they're actually trying to get somewhere. Are you
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: actually trying to arrive at a place of actual healing?
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 21: You know, I think that a lot of people try
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 21: to turn absolutely anything into an identity. And I think
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 21: that's what some of the deeper issue is. You know,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 21: it's like everyone is trying to package something about themselves
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 21: to make themselves feel worthy or seen or, you know,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 21: more connected to. But, yeah, I think, you know, making
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 21: pain your identity is really tricky. I understand how it
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 21: happens and why it happens.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 8: Life is busy.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 20: Very hard.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 21: We do not talk about that enough in a clear way.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 21: Like life is very hard and for some people so
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 21: much more so. So I get that. But I think
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 21: it's also important that people know like there is no
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 21: freedom in.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 20: That, right?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 21: Like you may not be able to get free. You
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 21: may not have peace. Like it's just another performance. Um,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 21: and also to, you know, no judgment. There are some
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 21: things none of us have been through that seem insurmountable
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 21: to heal. So sometimes you do spend your whole life
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 21: doing it. And I don't think there's shame in that.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 21: There's no destination that we're ever going to get to.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 21: You have the spiritual curriculum you came here with. And
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 21: we all just, we play the cards we're dealt. We
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 21: do the best that we can. But I think as
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 21: long as it's evolutionary, as long as we're continuing to
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 21: honor ourselves, to value ourselves, to look for ways to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 21: empower our lives to alleviate you know some of the
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 21: hurt um I think there's just so much dignity and
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 21: beauty in that.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 8: Do you guys hear from the crowd?
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 6: Like, you know, do you guys allow people in the
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 6: audiences to, you know, in the audience to feel vulnerable
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: enough to share, you know, what they're going through or,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: you know, or is it just like panel where you're
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 6: talking at the audience?
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 20: No, I'm so glad you asked that question.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 21: We are so blessed to have so many mental health
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 21: care volunteers. We are going to have volunteers throughout the
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 21: entire arena. And when, you know, if someone is seeing
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 21: a panel or something's coming to life inside of them,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 21: there will be an opportunity to tuck away with a
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 21: trained professional and get a little bit more perspective or,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 21: you know, pointed in the right direction. I think this
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 21: year what I really looked to do was I wanted
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 21: to dismantle all panels and You know, when we.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 20: Have some of these incredible voices.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 21: And you're trying to jam pack, you know, four to
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 21: 10 people on a panel, what is the audience really hearing?
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 20: What do you get to take away?
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 20: It's not just about clip life. You know what I mean?
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 21: And so this year we broke out all the panels
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 21: and we turned them into workshops or more kind of
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 21: one-on-one driven conversations. We also have some amazing women joining us.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 21: We have Michelle Williams, who is showed up for us
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 21: every single year.

  Speaker 4: Unless she's on Broadway. I think one year she had Broadway.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 21: And then we also have, joining her will be Koya Webb,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 21: Jovi and Zane. They're going to be doing a panel
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 21: on nervous system regulation and self-care. Because I know people
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 21: are even tired of hearing the word self-care.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 20: Like, what is that?
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 14: Right?
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 20: And like, if you don't.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 21: Care about yourself yet, that's a hard thing to attach
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 21: yourself to. And so we're going to really demystify that
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 21: and just what are ways to take care of your body.
• 1:30:28

• 1:33:16
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I actually really like that one.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 27: You know, I don't really be dabbling too much in
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 27: the trap rap bag, but I like that one a lot.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 8: Next, I'm going to go with this A.G. Shike record.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, I like A.G.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 12: Shike.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, from L.A.? Yeah. I'm just trying to figure out how.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 8: To pronounce his name. I like him.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 6: I started listening to him after listening to GNX, you know,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 6: with Kendrick.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 8: Because he had a song on there.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 27: So he just dropped his project last Friday, and the
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 27: record that they're pushing is one with Tyler, and then
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 27: there's another one called Negative that I like, but my
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 27: favorite one personally was this one featuring Jameson called.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 8: Need Your Love.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 25: Oh, I'm going.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 8: To vibe to that later. I need that photo.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 12: Shout out to AJ Tate.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 4: He made me want to go listen to his journey.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: Who he signed to?
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 8: I think it's Warner.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why a lot of those artists from
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: the West Coast, especially the ones who got that alley-oop
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: from Kendrick, labels didn't get behind.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 13: Crazy.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: In a real way. Because that's a radio record.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 8: That's wild. I think they tried.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 27: I think they tried. I know Apple did some good
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 27: support behind his project.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 17: Really?
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 15: Yeah, but, you know, this is also, you know, we
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 15: in New York.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: Is L.A.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 8: Playing this?
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: I would hope L.A. is playing this at least.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 20: I don't know.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I'll let you know.
• 1:34:23

  Speaker 8: Radio, we be a little.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 15: You got to play your own artist.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 4: Well, let us know, AZ. That's an AZ, right?
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 8: AZ Shaq.

  Speaker 4: Is playing you.

  Speaker 8: Yeah, I like him.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 27: This is like a big moment for him. This is
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 27: a good project to grab him.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: Look it up, Connector.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 4: Connector dots, Connector. Okay, cool.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 27: Well, my last record is from, oh, Overcast. You guys
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 27: seen the artist who was going through the lawsuit?
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 8: With the name and everything. People told me he'd been hard.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: He'd been moving.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 24: But the Outkast lawsuit made everybody start. Now I feel
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 24: like I see him all over my timeline.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 27: It always takes something that's not related to the music
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 27: to make people care about music these days.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: This is the first time I'm ever hearing this music.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 8: Hanging all over my timeline.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 8: He ain't all over my timeline, but I've heard about him.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 27: Actually, that On The Radar freestyle that went viral earlier
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 27: this year that had like Ben, Ruben, Marco, and all
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 27: them on it, the beat was produced by Overcast.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 15: And Overcast was on that.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, he's a producer.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 15: He's a producer and a rapper.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 8: And he's an artist, though, too. Yeah, people talk about him.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 8: He has some dope music, apparently.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 8: So, all right.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 27: Well, let's see if you guys like it. This is
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 27: Overcast featuring Marco Plus and Ben Reilly.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: So for the profit, I'm scheming. Boxing my demons on
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 4: the block. If I don't block, I'm deleted. Some high
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: beats punching the clock. Pushing the mop just to plead it.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 8: He made this beat, too? Yeah, he's all right.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 12: What video game is that?
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 8: It sound like Nintendo.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a video game. That's tough. I didn't know.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 27: And I just wanted to confirm, but he made the
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 27: beat for Make Them Pay on Drake.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 4: The one that you had.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, all right, all right.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, Drake bodied it, too, but.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 27: He said the one that Kai killed is Drake's mom.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking the Kai Cash version. No, that's tough.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he is definitely fire. You were, like, naturally just, like...
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 8: That's tough. He did that, like... Yeah, like, he just
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 8: pulled up. Kai killed him, like, yeah, Drake's mom.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: That's tough. And you know what's so funny? When you
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: say his name, I don't think out, Cash. I don't either.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: No, but when I see it, that's the problem. When
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: I see it, I'm like, oh, I'll cast change their
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: logo because I can't tell that it says Overcast when
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: I see it.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: But when you say it, I'm like, oh, Overcast. Okay,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: that makes sense.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 27: Maybe he just spelled his name O-V-E-R instead of just.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: It's like a symbol or something. No, but it's a
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: symbol too.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 8: He could just go by Cast too.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 27: I do think You know, Lotto changed her name. It's
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 27: not uncommon to change your name if you offend a
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 27: bunch of people.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 24: Where he messed up was in an interview that fans
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 24: get it confused. Like, putting that on record is like.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: Because outcasts and overcasts, I don't get that confused at all.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 4: Me neither.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 8: It's just looking at it. Yeah, looking at it.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: That's tough. What was that record again?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 8: Heroes and Villains.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: That's tough. I want to know, what did he sample?
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 4: Was it Zelda? Let me see what he sampled. That's tough.
• 1:36:58

• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: They said, when you continue to be irritated by someone
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: who refuses to change, you also refuse to change. I repeat,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: when you continue to be irritated by someone who refuses
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: to change... You also refuse to change, okay? You can't
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: control someone else's willingness to change, but you can change
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: how much access their behavior has to your beast, all right?
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: Sometimes growth begins when you stop waiting for them to
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: be different and you start choosing your own response. Have
