- 3:33Speaker 3: You know, Baddies is Is is a huge hit for us,
- 3:37Speaker 3: so we always try to find unique ways to market
- 3:40Speaker 3: the brand. And I know me being on there, you know,
- 3:44Speaker 3: probably would have gave it a little bit more. You know,
- 3:47Speaker 3: exposure and earned media, so we got a little bit
- 3:52Speaker 3: of in our world.
- 3:54Speaker 6: Would have been a good combination. You know what I'm

- 4:43Speaker 10: on the record. I like, y'all made up?
- 4:44Speaker 3: You know we we we're figuring it out. We got
- 4:46Speaker 3: something that we're going to be talking about ray J
- 4:51Speaker 3: and I publicly.
- 4:51Speaker 5: So okay, we.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Were looking at discussing our issues publicly platform on trying No,
- 5:02Speaker 3: I mean, not like that, but you know Ray Ray
- 5:05Speaker 3: and I are.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I spoke after the little spat your hat outside.
- 5:08Speaker 3: That's initially yeah, because I didn't know what was going
- 5:11Speaker 3: on and he just kind of he was serious. I
- 5:13Speaker 3: was joking and it just turned into a real situation
- 5:18Speaker 3: to some degree. I mean, you know, I understand the
- 5:21Speaker 3: marketing and you know of it all, but I think
- 5:25Speaker 3: he got a little too too excited, and you know,
- 5:30Speaker 3: it just became a thing. And you know when he
- 5:32Speaker 3: when he when he reached out and kind of, you know,
- 5:37Speaker 3: swung at me. I kind of reacted, you know, because
- 5:39Speaker 3: I'm not really a confrontational person, so more more of
- 5:44Speaker 3: a talker. You know, let's let's figure it out.
- 5:46Speaker 1: You in the boxing ring with y J. Phil our box,
- 5:50Speaker 1: Ray J.
- 5:51Speaker 3: I'm I'm an athlete. I mean, you know, I'm not respectfully,
- 5:54Speaker 3: I'm not afraid of any any man. But you know,
- 5:57Speaker 3: I think I think I think that'd be an interesting.
- 6:01Speaker 6: Security Let them sing at you, you roll, like the president, Like,
- 6:05Speaker 6: how did they How did y J even get his swing?
- 6:07Speaker 3: You know, we Ray and I have had a great
- 6:10Speaker 3: friendship for many years, so you know, at the time
- 6:14Speaker 3: when he was promoting his platform, he was kind of
- 6:17Speaker 3: I felt like he was disparaging me quite a bit.
- 6:19Speaker 3: And you know, just.
- 6:22Speaker 2: That's an understatement.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean I saw him on the
- 6:25Speaker 3: breakfast level talking, you know, about me and Zeus, and
- 6:29Speaker 3: it was it was you know, it was a lot.
- 6:32Speaker 5: But did you reach out to him after that?
- 6:34Speaker 3: No, I never reached out to him when that happened,
- 6:36Speaker 3: when he when you guys had interviewed him. But I didn't.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I really didn't understand the initial you know, like where does.
- 6:45Speaker 5: It come from?
- 6:46Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the b for the issues and you know
- 6:49Speaker 3: a lot of this stuff for rumors are made up.
- 6:51Speaker 8: So I just I just you know what am I
- 6:54Speaker 8: gonna say?
- 6:54Speaker 3: I'm not gonna respond, you know, create more. You know,
- 6:59Speaker 3: do you think we just yeah, I think I think
- 7:02Speaker 3: ray J was trying to tap into the streaming space,
- 7:08Speaker 3: the s FOD, you know, streaming space, and you know,
- 7:11Speaker 3: he's been wanting to launch his network, and I think,
- 7:13Speaker 3: you know, he made it very clear he was going
- 7:15Speaker 3: to come after zeus, and I think he just went
- 7:19Speaker 3: a completely different direction that I wouldn't have imagined him
- 7:24Speaker 3: to go in. And uh, you know, he came after
- 7:27Speaker 3: me personally, and uh yeah, it just became a thing.
- 7:34Speaker 3: And but yeah, I don't, I don't know, it was
- 7:36Speaker 3: it was at first, it was. It was very disheartening
- 7:40Speaker 3: and disappointing, But I I you know, again, I responded,
- 7:45Speaker 3: I think to one of his social media posts and
- 7:48Speaker 3: then I kind of left it alone, you know, but
- 7:53Speaker 3: you know, he kept going and it just became a thing.
- 7:55Speaker 8: And then when I saw him, I'm like, hey, what's up?
- 7:57Speaker 3: Man? He was just like a man, what's up? I'm like,
- 8:00Speaker 3: what's up? And my security you know, they they hey,
- 8:04Speaker 3: they I don't think in their right mind they would
- 8:06Speaker 3: have thought that ray J and I would get into
- 8:08Speaker 3: any type of public you know.
- 8:10Speaker 1: They knew, so they let him get a little closer
- 8:11Speaker 1: than most people.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. And uh and we and and then
- 8:16Speaker 3: he got out of the car and he kind of
- 8:18Speaker 3: like got in my face and I'm smiling. I'm like,
- 8:20Speaker 3: you're right. He's like, oh man, and I'm like, what's
- 8:23Speaker 3: going on? And then I think my security told him
- 8:26Speaker 3: to back up, and then he got his my security
- 8:28Speaker 3: guard's face and then he kind of swing swung at me,
- 8:32Speaker 3: and then I'm like, hey, are you serious? And then
- 8:34Speaker 3: it just.
- 8:35Speaker 5: Became I thought y'all both was joking. I honestly thought
- 8:38Speaker 5: that y'all were promoting something. Yeah, maybe maybe we were different.
- 8:43Speaker 5: Ray J rollouts to be different, you know, so I
- 8:46Speaker 5: thought that y'all were actually both like playing around.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I'm glad y'all got over them sitting down squashing it.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna figure it out. We're gonna we're gonna
- 8:55Speaker 3: see what what what what happens.
- 8:58Speaker 6: I do want to give you problems for something, though.
- 9:00Speaker 6: I loved it that you stepped in and got.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Behind magazine Dreams.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:04Speaker 9: Thanks.
- 9:04Speaker 6: That was a phenomenal, phenomenal film, man, And if if,
- 9:08Speaker 6: if Jonathan hadn't gotten his little Hollywood kerfuffle, he didn't
- 9:12Speaker 6: want an oscar for that?
- 9:13Speaker 3: I agree, I agree. It was a phenomenal film. And
- 9:16Speaker 3: you know, Jonathan had reached out to me and uh
- 9:20Speaker 3: he they weren't they needed additional funding for the film
- 9:23Speaker 3: to be released and uh theatrically and just you know,
- 9:27Speaker 3: in the VOD space, and so I didn't I didn't
- 9:30Speaker 3: really know too much about the film. And then when
- 9:32Speaker 3: I watched it, I was like, oh, we got to
- 9:34Speaker 3: get behind this film. And I understood that they kind of,
- 9:38Speaker 3: you know, they didn't have a lot of folks supporting
- 9:40Speaker 3: him in the film. So we just kind of took
- 9:44Speaker 3: that chance and invested quite a bit in the in
- 9:47Speaker 3: the in the in the money, I mean, in the
- 9:49Speaker 3: in the film, and we uh we we just we
- 9:53Speaker 3: co distributed the film with Briar Cliff and and ultimately
- 9:57Speaker 3: you know, ended up working out exclusive distribution rights sons.
- 10:00Speaker 3: So it's currently on Zeus. It did really well theatrically,
- 10:03Speaker 3: and yeah, for sure, definitely, definitely, definitely, you know, but
- 10:10Speaker 3: more importantly, you know, I was happy that Jonathan was
- 10:13Speaker 3: able to get his film out there. I thought his
- 10:15Speaker 3: performance was incredible and uh, it's a lot of a
- 10:19Speaker 3: lot of interesting components to the film that I felt
- 10:25Speaker 3: dealt with a lot of real life issues that people
- 10:28Speaker 3: go through. Health issue.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, man, he killed that movie.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. So. You know, we've we've kind of
- 10:35Speaker 3: branded ourselves to some degree, is like the Second Chance Network.
- 10:38Speaker 3: So you know, we've given quite a few folks that
- 10:42Speaker 3: I feel, you know, Hollywood and traditional media has kind
- 10:46Speaker 3: of undervalued or has kind of canceled to some degree.
- 10:50Speaker 3: We've we've given them that opportunity to you know, tell
- 10:53Speaker 3: their stories, and I believe generate more income and revenue
- 10:59Speaker 3: than any other network or studio that you know that
- 11:03Speaker 3: they're that they've currently worked with.
- 11:04Speaker 2: People give you a second chance that wrapping, you know may.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Look give me a second chance, man, I think you
- 11:11Speaker 3: should give me a second.
- 11:12Speaker 9: Chance, not a second chance story.
- 11:14Speaker 10: But I like you doing the partnership with Jason Lee too,
- 11:17Speaker 10: just behind a platform for the Impact the words I
- 11:18Speaker 10: think that's fire.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Yeah, that was that was a great
- 11:23Speaker 3: you know, shout out to Jason Lee. I truly appreciate
- 11:26Speaker 3: him reaching out and wanting to partner with with Zeus
- 11:31Speaker 3: distribute that award. That's our first award show and it's, uh,
- 11:34Speaker 3: you know, we're recognizing a lot and honoring a lot
- 11:36Speaker 3: of folks in our culture, and it's it's a it's
- 11:41Speaker 3: a great, uh ceremony and you know, it's it's you know,
- 11:46Speaker 3: I think we've done about three of them now and
- 11:48Speaker 3: uh it's it's only increased in in production value and
- 11:54Speaker 3: uh talent, and you know, it's it's it's an incredible experience.
- 11:58Speaker 3: So shout out to Jay in this this year's Impact
- 12:02Speaker 3: Awards was did really well for Zeus and look forward
- 12:06Speaker 3: to continue to work with Jason on That's.
- 12:08Speaker 6: So is that something like I know Zeus has a
- 12:11Speaker 6: I don't want to say brand, but I guess a
- 12:13Speaker 6: certain brand people associate Juice with. So when you do
- 12:15Speaker 6: stuff like the magazine Dreams and the Hollywood Unlocked, the
- 12:18Speaker 6: water that you're trying to go and I guess more
- 12:20Speaker 6: a positive route.
- 12:21Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just expanding. We're expanding and trying to bring
- 12:25Speaker 3: balance and new content to the platform. You know. I know,
- 12:28Speaker 3: we've been very loud and provocative, you know, throughout the
- 12:32Speaker 3: years with our content, and you know, I've always felt
- 12:36Speaker 3: like it would be important to diversify our content up
- 12:39Speaker 3: and we're doing that and where we you know, we
- 12:42Speaker 3: finally are doing well enough to to really spend some
- 12:46Speaker 3: serious money on these projects. And uh and yeah, I
- 12:52Speaker 3: think we're doing it with films and in some of
- 12:54Speaker 3: these shows. So uh, yeah, the network is doing really well.
- 12:58Speaker 3: I think the first time I came here, Uh in
- 13:01Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, I announced that Zeus we were we
- 13:05Speaker 3: were I kind of projected, and it's it actually has
- 13:11Speaker 3: materialized and manifested into being valued at over a billion
- 13:15Speaker 3: dollars at this point. And so thank you, thank you
- 13:19Speaker 3: so much. So I was I was really excited that,
- 13:23Speaker 3: you know, the valuation of the company has reached that
- 13:26Speaker 3: huge milestone. So but again, that's why we're able to
- 13:30Speaker 3: really invest in all.
- 13:31Speaker 8: These other projects. And you know, I think I think
- 13:34Speaker 8: we're truly.
- 13:35Speaker 3: Competing at a higher level than most of the linear
- 13:37Speaker 3: networks and most of the traditional network So is is
- 13:42Speaker 3: a pretty interesting and humbling and rewarding experience to see
- 13:47Speaker 3: this and to to to live it and dream it
- 13:51Speaker 3: and uh yeah it's beautiful man.
- 13:53Speaker 5: So so you're here for Love Cabin.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Oh am, I here for Love Cabin.
- 13:58Speaker 5: You got for him for they did come ahead and
- 14:04Speaker 5: leave with that, but he also here because he got
- 14:05Speaker 5: the new series Love Cabin, right, yeah.
- 14:08Speaker 3: You know Love Cabin. You know there there once was
- 14:11Speaker 3: Temptation Island or still is Temptation Island and Love Island.
- 14:15Speaker 3: But we're kind of taking our shot at, you know,
- 14:20Speaker 3: producing a series around finding love and in this unique format.
- 14:25Speaker 3: Uh so you know, we think we think we'll have
- 14:29Speaker 3: similar success with Love Cabin that you've seen with with
- 14:33Speaker 3: Love Island and some of the other love love slash
- 14:37Speaker 3: dating shows. But it is really exciting and we're gonna
- 14:40Speaker 3: be announcing our host and narrator, which I think you
- 14:43Speaker 3: guys a find really interesting on that show, and uh, yes,
- 14:48Speaker 3: it's allowed. It's a loud show, but different for USMN.
- 14:51Speaker 3: It's gonna be saying I don't think I don't know
- 14:55Speaker 3: if they're gonna be fighting like that, but you know.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Some you know like that it'll be a couple of
- 14:59Speaker 1: squabbles squabbles maybe.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Maybe not, I don't, I don't know. But we're really
- 15:03Speaker 3: excited about Love Love Cabin. We're gonna be shooting it
- 15:06Speaker 3: in Lake Tahoe and uh in the woods, so uh,
- 15:12Speaker 3: you know we.
- 15:12Speaker 5: Need somebody fight for real. I'm not trying to find
- 15:14Speaker 5: love in no damn woods.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Hey, I don't know. I don't know.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Happened with a Clarissa Shields. Did y'all make her offer
- 15:20Speaker 4: to be on one of these shows?
- 15:21Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 15:22Speaker 3: You know, we we I think somebody on our team
- 15:24Speaker 3: I have reached out to Toski and uh and and
- 15:28Speaker 3: I'm sorry her name? What was their name again? Shields? Yeah,
- 15:33Speaker 3: so I think they reached out to her to try
- 15:36Speaker 3: to see if we could do an exhibition between her
- 15:39Speaker 3: and to Seki And I don't know, Tzek need a
- 15:43Speaker 3: little bit more time to train and prep for it, but.
- 15:48Speaker 2: She'll get knocked up, do you think so?
- 15:49Speaker 3: I think that would be a good fight.
- 15:52Speaker 2: A professional boxing You don't play boxing.
- 15:55Speaker 3: I don't, I don't, but but yeah, I think that
- 16:00Speaker 3: you box. You know, I don't box, but.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I box rage.
- 16:08Speaker 3: I would box athlete at heart, but I would I
- 16:12Speaker 3: would box. If folks wanted to see Ray J and
- 16:16Speaker 3: I in the ring, I would be interested. You know.
- 16:19Speaker 3: I think that'd be cool for the viewers. I think
- 16:22Speaker 3: a lot of folks would subscribe.
- 16:23Speaker 6: You have a billion dollar valuation, don't start jumping all
- 16:25Speaker 6: in front now, jumping on record. I don't start doing
- 16:31Speaker 6: that now. After you get the billion dollar evaluation.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Be good. That's far.
- 16:34Speaker 3: That's true. That's true. So you know, we have to
- 16:37Speaker 3: be very strategic.
- 16:38Speaker 4: But because back to I think she said that she
- 16:40Speaker 4: couldn't do it because they wouldn't sign off that if
- 16:43Speaker 4: she they can't sue.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think I think in the exhibition world,
- 16:49Speaker 3: in space, I think you, I think there is some
- 16:51Speaker 3: flexibility there. So I think the contracts we just have
- 16:54Speaker 3: to work out whatever potential liabilities. But I think it
- 16:58Speaker 3: would be very entertaining.
- 16:59Speaker 5: I hear you.
- 17:01Speaker 3: You say he's not a fighter, but no, I mean
- 17:05Speaker 3: not a professional fighter.
- 17:06Speaker 2: I'm sorry, with a real box that you're getting knocked out.
- 17:10Speaker 6: I'm telling you, I don't care how much you think
- 17:11Speaker 6: you can fight on the street.
- 17:12Speaker 2: You're getting it right with a real box. Are you
- 17:14Speaker 2: going to sleep?
- 17:15Speaker 9: Yeah, you did a video Diamond body training.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Diamond. I think she's prepping for the reunion.
- 17:27Speaker 3: The last Reviewnion, she got her tooth knocked out by
- 17:31Speaker 3: and uh, that's crazy, you know, No, well it wasn't.
- 17:35Speaker 3: She can't sue us. I mean maybe she can see
- 17:38Speaker 3: uh what I'm saying, listen, you know, yeah, the insurance
- 17:46Speaker 3: is the thing. But yeah, these reunions, the girls, the
- 17:51Speaker 3: ladies are I mean, it's it's intense. You know, they're
- 17:54Speaker 3: they're going at it pretty pretty aggressively. But we we
- 17:58Speaker 3: do our best to manage the situation. But in that situation,
- 18:01Speaker 3: like they both asked to square up, so we we
- 18:04Speaker 3: give him a couple of couples, you know, you know,
- 18:07Speaker 3: just to kind of go ahead and be you sure,
- 18:09Speaker 3: And so she wanted to square up with Tusiki and
- 18:12Speaker 3: it just happened. But I think she her and Natalie
- 18:14Speaker 3: are kind of beefed. I don't know, it's up with
- 18:17Speaker 3: you and Natalie because.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Last time we were trying to.
- 18:20Speaker 3: No, I'm just trying to you know, I'm trying to
- 18:23Speaker 3: understand because I asked Natalie what was going on.
- 18:26Speaker 8: She had no idea.
- 18:27Speaker 3: She said, she's cool, Like, I don't know what the
- 18:29Speaker 3: issue is between you and that.
- 18:31Speaker 5: No, I didn't like how Natalie my I was hosting.
- 18:34Speaker 5: This was two years ago. I didn't even have this
- 18:36Speaker 5: job yet, right, she came up here. I don't even
- 18:39Speaker 5: know what she was promoting, but she came up here
- 18:41Speaker 5: and she said that I did. I chose to not
- 18:43Speaker 5: show up because she was on the schedule, but I
- 18:46Speaker 5: ain't working, and you know what I mean. So the
- 18:49Speaker 5: fact that she said that, I said, h and then
- 18:51Speaker 5: she went. She had like a hosting that night. It
- 18:53Speaker 5: was like like me, both nine to ten people and
- 18:56Speaker 5: wherever she was at, and she was like screaming and
- 18:59Speaker 5: shouting it on the mic, like that bitch Jesla, that
- 19:03Speaker 5: bitches it ain't even show up to work because I
- 19:05Speaker 5: came up there. She was scared and snou.
- 19:07Speaker 3: I don't like let that clan.
- 19:10Speaker 5: I don't do that, you know what I mean. I
- 19:12Speaker 5: didn't have the job yet. And then I don't think
- 19:14Speaker 5: they would even schedule us on the same day when
- 19:17Speaker 5: I was guest co hosting, you know, So I'm like, NOA,
- 19:20Speaker 5: she don't deserve to sit with me when she when
- 19:22Speaker 5: you interview.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Before, and I would love to bring I would love
- 19:25Speaker 3: for you to make a cameo on Batties. I'm presenting
- 19:27Speaker 3: the offer now if you I would love for her
- 19:31Speaker 3: to make a cameo and we got we got a
- 19:33Speaker 3: real we got a real bag for you. You know, no,
- 19:38Speaker 3: I would love for her and not to work out
- 19:40Speaker 3: and y'all had a real bag for me. It doesn't
- 19:42Speaker 3: have to be you guys fighting. It could just be
- 19:44Speaker 3: you guys talking about you know, I'm gonna touch me.
- 19:47Speaker 5: So that's the thing. But I know y'all got the
- 19:50Speaker 5: real bags because you you you blessed me with a
- 19:52Speaker 5: great bag when I did the show Johnson's Cabaret Reunion.
- 19:56Speaker 5: So I really know you ain't playing about the money.
- 19:58Speaker 5: It ain't about the money. It's just like I said, more,
- 20:00Speaker 5: you don't play with me. You don't do no clown ship,
- 20:02Speaker 5: you know. And then the ship at Tycoon at the weekend.
- 20:05Speaker 5: Remember in Houston, she got mad because you you was like, yo,
- 20:09Speaker 5: let's take a picture. You offered me a shot, and
- 20:12Speaker 5: she was trying to get up get about the chip.
- 20:13Speaker 5: She couldn't get about the chick quick enough.
- 20:15Speaker 3: You know.
- 20:15Speaker 5: It's the thing. Scottie walked through my section. I was like, no,
- 20:18Speaker 5: go around, don't walk through my ship, and it was
- 20:20Speaker 5: it was all of that. It was, it was.
- 20:22Speaker 3: It was a lot.
- 20:24Speaker 1: How much we talking?
- 20:25Speaker 5: That was my next question.
- 20:27Speaker 3: That was my next question. I don't know what you
- 20:29Speaker 3: tell me. Oh, look, you tell me what your number is.
- 20:35Speaker 3: You tell me, I'll make it work.
- 20:36Speaker 2: But what But what are you looking for for?
- 20:37Speaker 3: What for me to sit down and discuss whatever alter
- 20:41Speaker 3: I mean, whatever issues you have.
- 20:43Speaker 5: I think that was one of the things. I don't know.
- 20:45Speaker 5: I think she you know, she ain't no, but that
- 20:48Speaker 5: was that was that That's why I said, now, she
- 20:50Speaker 5: don't deserve that my job and sitting talk to me
- 20:52Speaker 5: on the mic had the line about it. You know
- 20:55Speaker 5: what I mean, I ain't like that.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Well, I think it would be a good look and
- 20:59Speaker 3: I think that would love to see it. I know,
- 21:03Speaker 3: I think I'd be great.
- 21:06Speaker 2: We figured it out.
- 21:06Speaker 5: We'll talk about it off and.
- 21:09Speaker 9: Listen, I was gonna say, speaking of me.
- 21:13Speaker 10: So Batty's Africa, y'all were getting a lot of criticism
- 21:16Speaker 10: because people felt like there weren't any African girls cast.
- 21:18Speaker 3: No, we casted a few African one I think she was,
- 21:22Speaker 3: uh one one of our cast members was from South Africa.
- 21:27Speaker 3: And then I think the other one was from Nigeria.
- 21:29Speaker 9: But I think people felt like there should have been more.
- 21:32Speaker 3: But you bought them from America to no, no, no,
- 21:35Speaker 3: no, no no. We we had an open well, you know,
- 21:38Speaker 3: we casting the shows and are always the thing with
- 21:41Speaker 3: with Batty, so you know, we we opened it up
- 21:44Speaker 3: for online uh submissions and auditions, and we tried to
- 21:49Speaker 3: cast at least a few a few folks and bring
- 21:51Speaker 3: some reoccurring cast members back. So you know, I felt
- 21:56Speaker 3: like it was I felt like it was a pretty
- 21:57Speaker 3: good look. But yeah, we definitely cast. We definitely casted
- 22:01Speaker 3: some some folks from Africa on the show, and I
- 22:03Speaker 3: think they did their big one. I don't know, I
- 22:06Speaker 3: don't know where that rumor came from. That's false.
- 22:09Speaker 9: And what about your ZEUS networkings? Where y'all at?
- 22:11Speaker 3: Now?
- 22:13Speaker 9: It was good. She was supposed to have to show
- 22:14Speaker 9: with her son.
- 22:17Speaker 3: You know, Krishan is uh. I love Kashan. She's great.
- 22:20Speaker 3: She's she's she's got a lot going on and sometimes
- 22:24Speaker 3: it's hard to get her to focus on, you know,
- 22:27Speaker 3: specific things, but she she's a hard worker. She she
- 22:31Speaker 3: loves to stay busy, and uh, you know, I think
- 22:35Speaker 3: we we the relationship is solid with Kashan and you know, uh,
- 22:39Speaker 3: she she was on Batties, she had her own show
- 22:41Speaker 3: with her and Blue Face, and so you know, it's
- 22:45Speaker 3: just really finding that right project or you know, I
- 22:48Speaker 3: want to see her back on Batties.
- 22:49Speaker 8: I think she'd be.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Great, you know, to come back, and if she were
- 22:53Speaker 3: to come back and participate, so yeah, solid.
- 22:59Speaker 5: If y'all can facilitate that, you know, I really I'm
- 23:04Speaker 5: off for them making up, man, cause like that got
- 23:08Speaker 5: real crazy, it got real messy, and was it ever
- 23:10Speaker 5: a part of you that was like, uh, maybe it
- 23:14Speaker 5: was the wrong move bringing to Siki or maybe it
- 23:16Speaker 5: was the wrong move, like how how did you feel
- 23:18Speaker 5: when you've seen them fall out as sisters?
- 23:21Speaker 3: Uh? It was, it was, it was. It was pretty.
- 23:27Speaker 1: It was.
- 23:27Speaker 3: It was a bit disheartening, like you know, to see
- 23:30Speaker 3: both sisters kind of at odds, you know what I mean.
- 23:33Speaker 3: They were very close, but I don't I don't really
- 23:36Speaker 3: you know, we were we were kind of discovering and
- 23:38Speaker 3: learning things in real time, and so, uh, you know,
- 23:43Speaker 3: hearing about that on the show, it was kind of
- 23:45Speaker 3: like whoa wow, you know what I mean. So if
- 23:47Speaker 3: you know, if they had gone through some things in
- 23:49Speaker 3: the past prior to us shooting, and so it kind
- 23:52Speaker 3: of seemed like a lot of things were.
- 23:54Speaker 8: You know, happen.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, so we were just capturing those
- 24:00Speaker 3: moments and yeah, it just it is what it is.
- 24:04Speaker 3: But you know, I think they're I think they're developing
- 24:07Speaker 3: a better relationship right now. I don't know exactly where
- 24:10Speaker 3: they are, but you know, I know it's always been
- 24:12Speaker 3: a little up and down with them, but it seems
- 24:14Speaker 3: like it seems like they're they're in a in a.
- 24:16Speaker 8: Good place right now.
- 24:17Speaker 3: I think, you know, they they posted that they were
- 24:19Speaker 3: going to be doing some bookings together and I think
- 24:22Speaker 3: they had some FaceTime call on on social media.
- 24:26Speaker 8: So oh, I have no idea what they get paid.
- 24:32Speaker 3: You know that that's not a part of.
- 24:34Speaker 1: That's a push line.
- 24:35Speaker 8: Yeah did you hear that?
- 24:37Speaker 6: Oh yeah, said UE network niggas you hear me lot
- 24:43Speaker 6: and clear.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Hunted a house? Yeah no, did you take that at
- 24:52Speaker 2: the disc?
- 24:53Speaker 3: You know, it's so many as he fit all.
- 24:59Speaker 8: So many, it's so many little, you.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Know, lines and bars out there referencing Zoos or Baddies
- 25:05Speaker 3: or Jocelyn and all these shows. I can't keep up.
- 25:08Speaker 2: But that's my girl.
- 25:09Speaker 3: No, not at all, Thank you. I appreciate it.
- 25:11Speaker 8: Thanks mantwork.
- 25:15Speaker 3: And I can't watch every episode of every show, but
- 25:18Speaker 3: I do try to watch as many you know, episodes
- 25:24Speaker 3: that we release. Uh, definitely the premiere episodes, you know,
- 25:29Speaker 3: the earlier ones.
- 25:30Speaker 1: But you know, we have a whole control now.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we have a whole team you know
- 25:35Speaker 3: going on. We're we're pumping out shows and content, you know,
- 25:41Speaker 3: at a at a rapid pace. It's very accelerated, you know,
- 25:44Speaker 3: and I think that's why we're kind of out performing
- 25:47Speaker 3: a lot of traditional networks. Turn around time for our release,
- 25:52Speaker 3: h our release on these episodes and shows are.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Pretty fast, very fast, you know, doing something.
- 26:01Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about some some some projects he had
- 26:03Speaker 3: reached out and wanted to do. Originally we talked about
- 26:08Speaker 3: doing uh Sunday Sunday service on Zeus, and then we
- 26:13Speaker 3: had some some other discussions about things that he wanted
- 26:17Speaker 3: to do, and uh, you know, we're we're exploring that stuff.
- 26:20Speaker 1: So you know, it's conversations.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, definitely, definitely. You know, he's you know, he's
- 26:27Speaker 3: he's an icon. He's you know, extremely extremely smart and uh,
- 26:34Speaker 3: you know, he understands this space, and so, uh, you know,
- 26:39Speaker 3: we're we're trying to figure out what makes sense as
- 26:42Speaker 3: far as a Zeus collaboration.
- 26:44Speaker 8: Between you know, his company and in Zeus.
- 26:49Speaker 2: But that's crazy.
- 26:53Speaker 3: I can't participate in this part.
- 26:55Speaker 5: No, he is crazy. Has ever been a show that
- 26:59Speaker 5: wells they're a show that you won't green lit, something
- 27:02Speaker 5: that you won't do, something that you be like, nah,
- 27:05Speaker 5: it's a little too left. I mean, you know, we
- 27:07Speaker 5: already got the girls fighting and all of that, but
- 27:10Speaker 5: have you is it something that you won't do?
- 27:13Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we yeah, I mean no, it's not
- 27:19Speaker 3: let me no, no, I think I think, I think
- 27:21Speaker 3: we we try not to get involved in in politics.
- 27:25Speaker 3: So that's not really our thing, you know, but you know,
- 27:31Speaker 3: we we it is important to you know, have a
- 27:34Speaker 3: voice in that space, but we try to stay away
- 27:38Speaker 3: from those type of things. And I know this guy doesn't,
- 27:41Speaker 3: you know, he's pretty loud in that area. But we yeah,
- 27:45Speaker 3: we we we were not really picking up a lot
- 27:48Speaker 3: of content in that in that space, but you know,
- 27:52Speaker 3: we there We've been experimenting with a lot of different
- 27:56Speaker 3: formats and shows. Some things just don't work for Zeus
- 28:00Speaker 3: because you know, you're asking people to pay to watch
- 28:03Speaker 3: your content, and so you know, sometimes it just it
- 28:06Speaker 3: has to really really move the needle and it has
- 28:11Speaker 3: to be loud enough for them to stop and say, Okay,
- 28:15Speaker 3: I gotta watch this. And I think the industry is
- 28:18Speaker 3: changing significantly and you're seeing changes happening every day with
- 28:24Speaker 3: how people are consuming content and in different ways of
- 28:28Speaker 3: how they're you know, subscribing or or not, you know,
- 28:33Speaker 3: when it comes to.
- 28:36Speaker 8: Things that they want to watch.
- 28:37Speaker 6: I truly am happy for your success because regardless of
- 28:40Speaker 6: what the content is, whether you know people agree with
- 28:42Speaker 6: it or not, it's still hard to do what you
- 28:45Speaker 6: have done to build a network from the ground up
- 28:48Speaker 6: the way.
- 28:48Speaker 2: That you have and now have it at a billion
- 28:50Speaker 2: dollar evaluation. That's impressive. Think okay, but do you ever
- 28:53Speaker 2: feel like, you know, with the type of content.
- 28:56Speaker 6: That you have, I have to do so much more
- 28:59Speaker 6: for the black community.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, and thank you. I appreciate that. You know, yeah,
- 29:05Speaker 3: we you know, we we are. We are trying. You know,
- 29:08Speaker 3: it's hard because you know it's just finding those right
- 29:13Speaker 3: right shows. You know, our we only have so much
- 29:15Speaker 3: bandwidth where you know, we're able to create high quality
- 29:18Speaker 3: premium content, so you know, we we we don't want
- 29:21Speaker 3: to just put anything out there.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Not even just with shows like philanthropy.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Yeah, we we definitely you know, are are you know,
- 29:30Speaker 3: uh donating to many charities We're part of different you
- 29:35Speaker 3: know philanthropic organizations. Uh that uh you know we we
- 29:44Speaker 3: you know, give to to these these different you know,
- 29:49Speaker 3: uh charities and foundations.
- 29:51Speaker 8: Yeah, we do it every year.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Yeah, no, please please, you know we we we definitely
- 29:58Speaker 3: want to support. We definitely want to continue to get
- 30:00Speaker 3: and donate. And that's a big part of ZEUS. I
- 30:02Speaker 3: mean we may not show it as much as we
- 30:05Speaker 3: you know, promote other things, but we're we're definitely giving.
- 30:08Speaker 3: We're sponsoring a lot of things. We're donating. We we
- 30:12Speaker 3: do it all year round, not just one specific time,
- 30:15Speaker 3: but all year and uh, I mean millions, So you
- 30:19Speaker 3: know it's it's really important for us to do that.

- 31:53Speaker 8: But I do want to say, let me.
- 31:55Speaker 5: Be putting videos and shut the girls working.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Well, that's you know, that's that's on money, that's that's
- 32:01Speaker 3: that's marketing. We're allowed provocative platform. You know, we we
- 32:05Speaker 3: generate a lot of views. That helps with our subscribers,
- 32:09Speaker 3: the CEO. And that's okay, you know, it's okay. You know,
- 32:14Speaker 3: I ain't.
- 32:14Speaker 5: Saying nothing wrong with it, but I'm saying when I
- 32:16Speaker 5: see a video of you and you're sweet, yeah, throwing
- 32:20Speaker 5: the bread and scotti.
- 32:23Speaker 3: You know, Scott Scottie is sexy. She's sexy, and you know,
- 32:28Speaker 3: sometimes folks like to see her doing her thing, you know,
- 32:33Speaker 3: and she's she's fun, she likes to have a lot
- 32:35Speaker 3: of fun. She likes to you know, she's a sweetheart.
- 32:38Speaker 3: She likes to have fun. She's great. But I do
- 32:40Speaker 3: want to say.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Uh, could you be with one woman?
- 32:43Speaker 3: Uh? You know, I've said I'm you know, I'm at
- 32:46Speaker 3: this place where I'm still I'm being honest. I am,
- 32:55Speaker 3: I am, I am, and I've said it before. I
- 32:59Speaker 3: am finding me, I'm finding I think that's important.
- 33:04Speaker 7: I don't know, I've never heard that one, and I
- 33:14Speaker 7: think right now.
- 33:15Speaker 9: Yeah, everything baddie.
- 33:18Speaker 10: But I remember when it was the sun a girl
- 33:20Speaker 10: claims and.
- 33:21Speaker 9: Then the whole thing in a relationship with she was
- 33:25Speaker 9: one of the producers on the show.
- 33:27Speaker 3: So Janisha, I'm just trying.
- 33:29Speaker 9: Okay.
- 33:29Speaker 3: So so Jenisha, Jenisha and I we were in a
- 33:33Speaker 3: relationship for seven years. We were in a very traditional
- 33:37Speaker 3: girlfriend boyfriend relationship for seven years. Janisha is absolutely beautiful
- 33:43Speaker 3: inside and out and I love her. She's great. We're friends,
- 33:48Speaker 3: and uh, you know, she's doing her thing. I think
- 33:50Speaker 3: she's dating. I don't know. But she still works for Zeus.
- 33:54Speaker 3: She she's hosting, she's she's working behind the scenes. She's
- 33:58Speaker 3: not only like you know, a hope, but she produced
- 34:00Speaker 3: is she's handling, uh and overseeing her social media department.
- 34:04Speaker 3: So she's she's doing incredible things that love her family,
- 34:07Speaker 3: that were great, you know, seven years and so I think,
- 34:10Speaker 3: you know, for me, uh, it was just a situation
- 34:15Speaker 3: where we were just at an impast and you know,
- 34:20Speaker 3: and I and I know there's a lot of rumors
- 34:23Speaker 3: out there, politicians, No, there's there's a she's pretty.
- 34:31Speaker 2: So I.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Will say, you know, Genisia is great. And again we
- 34:37Speaker 3: have a great friendship with great relationship, and she's doing
- 34:40Speaker 3: her thing, and I'm proud of her. But I do
- 34:42Speaker 3: see a lot of rumors out there that about Scottie
- 34:45Speaker 3: and Genisha.
- 34:46Speaker 8: You know, again, I will just say he's still looking at.
- 34:53Speaker 10: Issue is that people have conversations about there being overlapped.
- 34:56Speaker 10: And that's why I was confused, because I was, like,
- 34:58Speaker 10: I thought, you came out and said you weren't dealing
- 35:00Speaker 10: with any of the baddies and then we will listen.
- 35:04Speaker 7: Listen, here's the thing.
- 35:09Speaker 3: Let me let me say this. Let me say this
- 35:11Speaker 3: first of all. First of all, can I can I
- 35:14Speaker 3: just say this? Genisha is absolutely beautiful, Scotty is absolutely beautiful.
- 35:18Speaker 3: They're both beautiful women. They're both beautiful women, and you know, uh,
- 35:24Speaker 3: I hate to see people coming at either one of them.
- 35:27Speaker 3: You know, it's not fair. It's not okay because if
- 35:29Speaker 3: anything is it is on me. You know what I mean,
- 35:31Speaker 3: it's on me. You know, I make every decision is
- 35:35Speaker 3: it is it pertains to my personal life, and you know,
- 35:39Speaker 3: and and you know, sometimes people don't always agree and
- 35:43Speaker 3: on where you are in life. And so for me,
- 35:46Speaker 3: when I was saying I was I was finding myself.
- 35:48Speaker 3: I'm not really saying that as an excuse to do whatever,
- 35:52Speaker 3: to do just whatever. It was really, you know, like
- 35:55Speaker 3: I honestly that at that time. You know, again seven
- 35:59Speaker 3: years which we had our ups and downs, but you know,
- 36:02Speaker 3: just like any relationship. And uh, it was a situation
- 36:05Speaker 3: where you know, I was finding myself when it came
- 36:08Speaker 3: to my spirituality, when it came to you know, relationships,
- 36:12Speaker 3: and really what that meant, because it was like, you know,
- 36:15Speaker 3: monogamy is one thing, polymory, polygamy. You know, all these
- 36:19Speaker 3: thoughts are coming to your brain. I don't you know,
- 36:20Speaker 3: I've never been married, I've never been engaged. I've never
- 36:24Speaker 3: known Gene and genieha and I have never And that's
- 36:28Speaker 3: not to downplay our relationship. We just you know, we
- 36:31Speaker 3: were very much in love, and you know we still
- 36:34Speaker 3: love each other and have love for each other, but
- 36:36Speaker 3: we're just not together anymore. And I am dating, you know, Scottie.
- 36:40Speaker 3: But like I said, it is a situation where you know,
- 36:45Speaker 3: I was finding me and my like I said, spiritually, spiritually,
- 36:50Speaker 3: just emotionally, mentally, And when you don't always agree, you
- 36:54Speaker 3: do get to a place where you're at an impast
- 36:57Speaker 3: and you can agree to disagree respectfully and you got
- 37:00Speaker 3: to deal with the hard truths and reality. And so
- 37:03Speaker 3: I think having those discussions with Genisia privately, I think
- 37:08Speaker 3: we even though it was hurtful, and I know you
- 37:12Speaker 3: know this, this disappointing, probably for for her. You know,
- 37:17Speaker 3: I still had to live my life and you know,
- 37:20Speaker 3: do with what I felt I wanted to do, and
- 37:22Speaker 3: so that was it and it was nothing more, nothing less.
- 37:26Speaker 3: But I think they're both beautiful queens. I think they
- 37:29Speaker 3: are amazing. You know, I have nothing beloved for Scotty.
- 37:33Speaker 3: You have nothing beloved for Janisiha. I love both of them.
- 37:35Speaker 3: They're great people. But I just hate to see people
- 37:38Speaker 3: tearing them apart and commenting and all these rumors and
- 37:42Speaker 3: all this stuff. It's just it's just it's just it's
- 37:45Speaker 3: just again for me. Look, I I life is short,
- 37:50Speaker 3: and I guess that I've I've never been married, never
- 37:52Speaker 3: been engaged, never had children, and I've just been kind of,
- 37:56Speaker 3: you know, had a place where I'm just like, all right,
- 37:57Speaker 3: what am I doing? You know, that's a great question.
- 38:01Speaker 3: I I don't.
- 38:03Speaker 8: I don't know yet.
- 38:04Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know you, I don't know.
- 38:07Speaker 3: I look you look thank you man, looks like you
- 38:13Speaker 3: know almost yeah, I'm in my thirties. But I just
- 38:17Speaker 3: I feel, like, like I said, I'm just I'm just
- 38:20Speaker 3: trying to figure it out. Man. I you know, life.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Life, a life.
- 38:26Speaker 5: No, I know, they're they're just trying to find the
- 38:28Speaker 5: right words.
- 38:29Speaker 3: Can I can, I can I be I am I'm
- 38:34Speaker 3: being I am being careful because it is sensitive. But
- 38:36Speaker 3: I will say, uh, I don't know, I don't you know.
- 38:39Speaker 3: We're we're in a new a new error, you know,
- 38:42Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, and you know, I have my theories,
- 38:45Speaker 3: my thoughts about life. I don't you know, when I
- 38:48Speaker 3: think about marriage, you know, it that scared me. My
- 38:51Speaker 3: parents were married for over thirty years, and it was
- 38:54Speaker 3: very hard to see them get a divorce, and that
- 38:57Speaker 3: kind of impacted my life, you know, tremendously.
- 39:00Speaker 8: I love both of my parents.
- 39:01Speaker 3: My dad is my hero, my mom is my my,
- 39:05Speaker 3: my my heart, and so for me to see them,
- 39:09Speaker 3: you know, separate and divorce, and you know, all of
- 39:12Speaker 3: our siblings were very close, it was it was very
- 39:15Speaker 3: hard and it was very discouraging, and so for me
- 39:20Speaker 3: it was a situation where, you know, I just did
- 39:23Speaker 3: After that, it was kind of like, you know what,
- 39:26Speaker 3: like I don't want to be a cheater in a
- 39:28Speaker 3: in a marriage. I don't want to be labeled that,
- 39:30Speaker 3: you know what I mean, And so it's kind of like,
- 39:33Speaker 3: you know, I just want to get it all out.
- 39:37Speaker 3: You know, it's not even getting it all out. I
- 39:39Speaker 3: just think it's very hard for men to be you know,
- 39:42Speaker 3: in these in a monoga like being monogamous, you know
- 39:45Speaker 3: what I mean, I do.
- 39:46Speaker 8: I think if you had to be real, like what
- 39:48Speaker 8: is it just gets to a point where it's like
- 39:50Speaker 8: what is cheating?
- 39:51Speaker 3: Is it just physical? Is it mental and physical? Is
- 39:54Speaker 3: it emotional? And so I just you know, thinking about
- 39:57Speaker 3: these different things are just it's just hard for me
- 40:00Speaker 3: to try to you know, it's not always you.
- 40:03Speaker 6: Find you Yeah, I say that when you when you
- 40:05Speaker 6: find your one, when you find your person, it's not
- 40:08Speaker 6: as hard as you think.
- 40:09Speaker 3: So you you're married, right, yes, sir?
- 40:11Speaker 8: And you've been married for.
- 40:12Speaker 2: I've been married for ten yeah, twelve years?
- 40:15Speaker 3: Now were you married prior? Or?
- 40:16Speaker 2: This is my first married seven years? But I mean
- 40:20Speaker 2: to your point, I was the same person. I definitely
- 40:23Speaker 2: wasn't you know, always faithful.
- 40:24Speaker 6: But you know, when I did make that commitment to
- 40:27Speaker 6: my wife and say hey, this is what I want
- 40:29Speaker 6: to do for my wife and my family.
- 40:30Speaker 2: And myself and be a faithful man, it's not hard.
- 40:34Speaker 3: Not always find your person. Now, Yeah, And I and
- 40:36Speaker 3: I appreciate that. You know that that that uh, you know,
- 40:40Speaker 3: feedback and just also you know you're you know, hearing
- 40:43Speaker 3: that from you as a man. You know, it's hard
- 40:45Speaker 3: for men to I don't know, it's it's it's I
- 40:48Speaker 3: don't want to say to be loyal or to just
- 40:51Speaker 3: be with one woman, but I don't know. I just
- 40:53Speaker 3: I hate the idea of hurting someone to that degree.
- 40:57Speaker 3: If I'm in I'm making an oath under God, and
- 41:00Speaker 3: you know my family and her family is just it
- 41:05Speaker 3: just feels like, you know, I don't want to say
- 41:07Speaker 3: a lot of pressure, but.
- 41:08Speaker 1: It's just I just I don't know, you're not ready
- 41:11Speaker 1: for it.
- 41:11Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, just like I said, I'm finding me man,
- 41:13Speaker 3: And like I said, oh yeah, one hundred percent. You know,
- 41:17Speaker 3: I've been honest with everybody. I mean, they may not
- 41:20Speaker 3: like it, they may not want to hear it, but
- 41:23Speaker 3: I think they appreciate the honesty of it all the transparency. No,
- 41:28Speaker 3: not at all. I mean that, I just not at all.
- 41:34Speaker 3: I would I wouldn't support that because.
- 41:36Speaker 2: You know, I think that you spend too much money
- 41:39Speaker 2: on them.
- 41:40Speaker 3: Yeah I would. I wouldn't say.
- 41:43Speaker 8: I wouldn't say it's spend too much money.
- 41:44Speaker 3: I just think that, Yeah, I feel like for me
- 41:49Speaker 3: where I'm at, Yeah, I do want to make sure
- 41:52Speaker 3: I'm supporting the person that i'm dating and that i'm with,
- 41:55Speaker 3: and I don't think it's always reciprocated of what they
- 41:59Speaker 3: could do for me and what I can do for them.
- 42:01Speaker 3: And that's okay, you know, uh, you know, I think
- 42:05Speaker 3: I do go above and beyond you know, the scope
- 42:07Speaker 3: of maybe what's required in a traditional relationship trick that
- 42:14Speaker 3: I am not a trick.
- 42:15Speaker 10: I am not.
- 42:19Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'm not.
- 42:20Speaker 8: I'm not tricking.
- 42:20Speaker 3: I'm not a trick.
- 42:21Speaker 8: I'm not a pimp.
- 42:22Speaker 3: I'm not any of those things. I've never been those things.
- 42:25Speaker 6: Sending money on somebody that you're dealing with, yeah, I
- 42:27Speaker 6: think somebody that's saying yeah.
- 42:30Speaker 3: I think I think a cast not a cast.
- 42:35Speaker 5: Well, look, this is my my last question about that.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Did you and Natalie sleep together?
- 42:41Speaker 5: Something I saw it on I saw something y'all had,
- 42:45Speaker 5: like a little feud or whatever. I don't know if
- 42:47Speaker 5: it was.
- 42:49Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. First and foremost, there's no universe where
- 42:52Speaker 3: I would ever cross those lines with with Natalie, Jocelyn,
- 42:57Speaker 3: or any of any of those you know, females like
- 43:00Speaker 3: not like that.
- 43:01Speaker 8: But I'm just in their beautiful women. You know, they're married,
- 43:04Speaker 8: you know, and.
- 43:05Speaker 3: I respect their husbands very much, they respect me, and
- 43:10Speaker 3: I just it's never happened, not even a slight you know, uh.
- 43:16Speaker 8: Anything, It's just never happened.
- 43:18Speaker 3: But I would never cross those boundaries in those lines, uh,
- 43:22Speaker 3: in that regard. So you know, but but no, Natalie's great,
- 43:26Speaker 3: uh you know, and she's but no, we've never slept together.
- 43:29Speaker 5: So, you know, some of the former former cast members
- 43:31Speaker 5: of Baddies, they be they'd be having it out for you.
- 43:34Speaker 5: I guess once they get put off the show or
- 43:35Speaker 5: they can't come back, they start making up stuff or
- 43:38Speaker 5: they start saying things that they heard and all of that.
- 43:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that a lot. I felt about that. Yeah,
- 43:43Speaker 3: it's it's I don't I don't get it.
- 43:46Speaker 5: You know, it's like you know this, you're done a lot.
- 43:48Speaker 5: You don't bale some bitches out of jail, you didn't
- 43:50Speaker 5: do something.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it. For me, I've recognized that the
- 43:57Speaker 3: folks that we were working with are are not probably
- 44:06Speaker 3: the typical folks that most traditional networks would be dealing with.
- 44:12Speaker 3: And so you know, they're very outspoken. A lot of
- 44:17Speaker 3: times they do lie or spread rumors about me when
- 44:21Speaker 3: they don't have the opportunity to be on the network
- 44:24Speaker 3: or we don't cast them in. I don't get it.
- 44:26Speaker 8: I don't I don't know why they do that.
- 44:28Speaker 3: I don't know why they make up these lies or
- 44:30Speaker 3: let me sleeping with all these people, or he's doing
- 44:32Speaker 3: this and he's doing that.
- 44:34Speaker 5: You know, I just they'd be upset they said, you
- 44:36Speaker 5: got your favorites.
- 44:37Speaker 3: No, I feel like, you know, I feel like we've
- 44:41Speaker 3: been a tremendous blessing to a lot of people, a
- 44:43Speaker 3: lot of women, you know, that would have never gotten
- 44:46Speaker 3: these opportunities. I mean, when I see it's it's crazy.
- 44:49Speaker 3: It's it's it's like we've casted these girls on these shows.
- 44:53Speaker 3: It's hundreds of people at this point. You know, they've
- 44:55Speaker 3: made tremendous amounts of money from zeus and income and
- 44:59Speaker 3: they've they've they've done well. And to see them, you know,
- 45:03Speaker 3: getting and receiving you know, brand deals or bookings and
- 45:09Speaker 3: making money in other ways they're following has increased. I mean,
- 45:13Speaker 3: you know, that's that's amazing. And we've been blessing all
- 45:16Speaker 3: these people folks. So you know, I don't I don't
- 45:18Speaker 3: understand why they do certain things. Some of them, you know,
- 45:21Speaker 3: some of them are really cool, but you know, some
- 45:23Speaker 3: of them just clout chase the gas like they troll.
- 45:27Speaker 3: It's just a part of the cost of doing business,
- 45:29Speaker 3: I guess to some degree. And so I just you know,
- 45:32Speaker 3: I can't respond to every rumor everything that that's out there.
- 45:36Speaker 3: You know, it's not worth it, and it's it's a
- 45:40Speaker 3: situation where you know, me responding will give it more life.
- 45:45Speaker 3: So I just I choose to kind of I respond
- 45:49Speaker 3: when I really am like annoyed by something, like really
- 45:52Speaker 3: really annoyed and it's just so ridiculous or egregious. But
- 45:55Speaker 3: typically I just I try not to respond to you know,
- 45:59Speaker 3: those those type.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Of only get worse. You got a billion dollars evaluation.
- 46:04Speaker 6: The more you grow, the more jewelry they see, the
- 46:06Speaker 6: more they see you putting on, it's only gonna get worse,
- 46:08Speaker 6: you do, know what you think?
- 46:09Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, that's that's a scary. It's scary. It's
- 46:15Speaker 3: a scary scary thought. I hope not you know, yeah,
- 46:21Speaker 3: I hope, uh, I hope it gets better. And that worse.
- 46:26Speaker 5: So we don't wrap.
- 46:27Speaker 3: You don't.
- 46:29Speaker 5: I won't rap just catching man in this marketing is
- 46:34Speaker 5: marketing markets. I bet you any amount of money. It's
- 46:36Speaker 5: gonna be the new theme song for Baddies, ain't it.
- 46:39Speaker 3: It actually already is the theme song for Batty.
- 46:41Speaker 5: That's what about no album?
- 46:42Speaker 3: It ain't for no No, I'm not trying to rap

- 47:59Speaker 9: Are the folks summer is she come? Is she done? Baddies?
- 48:02Speaker 9: You find her? What's happening and following them Til comment, Yeah,
- 48:06Speaker 9: we were, you know, that was.
- 48:10Speaker 8: You know, the Immet Til comment that was that was.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Very very unfortunate, and you know, we we definitely put
- 48:19Speaker 3: out a statement and we were we were dealing with it.
- 48:22Speaker 3: I mean, we we didn't really do anything during production
- 48:27Speaker 3: because I don't think we really heard it. You know,
- 48:29Speaker 3: I wasn't there, so I didn't really hear it. But
- 48:31Speaker 3: by the time the show in the episodes aired, the
- 48:34Speaker 3: production was over. So it wasn't like we could have
- 48:36Speaker 3: fired her or let her go for that comment. But
- 48:40Speaker 3: we definitely dealt with it. We encouraged her to address
- 48:43Speaker 3: it head on, and uh, you know, I think she's
- 48:46Speaker 3: been dealing with it. I know she's felt the impact
- 48:50Speaker 3: from it. We felt it, and we listened to our
- 48:53Speaker 3: customers and our consumers, and you know, uh, it was
- 48:56Speaker 3: just a very unfortunate situation, and you know, we we
- 48:59Speaker 3: made sure to uh, you know, educate our cast members
- 49:04Speaker 3: on ways too, you know, uh, you know, learn more
- 49:10Speaker 3: about African American history and just everything we've gone through
- 49:15Speaker 3: because sometimes you know, these young girls and these you know,
- 49:18Speaker 3: they they don't understand what we've been through, you know,
- 49:20Speaker 3: civil rights and slavery and just all all sorts of
- 49:24Speaker 3: things that we've we've gone through as a people. So
- 49:27Speaker 3: it is important that they get educated on on the
- 49:30Speaker 3: history of African American you know, uh, culture, and and
- 49:35Speaker 3: and the things that we've we've gone through.
- 49:37Speaker 6: So you say you felt it, What mean you said that?
- 49:39Speaker 6: Because I'm sure y'all get backlash all the time for everything.
- 49:42Speaker 3: You know, it's scary, you know, it's scary when you
- 49:46Speaker 3: when you you know, you see the fans publicly, you know, uh,
- 49:52Speaker 3: you know, not only concerned, but just you know, disappointed.
- 49:56Speaker 3: And so you know, we we you know we as
- 50:00Speaker 3: a network. We yes, we're we're a little bit more
- 50:03Speaker 3: of a loose free network, but you know, those type
- 50:07Speaker 3: of things are unacceptable, you know what I mean. And
- 50:10Speaker 3: she had to make sure she held herself accountable and
- 50:13Speaker 3: so did we, and so you know, it was it
- 50:17Speaker 3: was just it's scary because you want to make sure
- 50:20Speaker 3: you know that the fans and the and the and
- 50:22Speaker 3: the customers are are are respected and that they you know,
- 50:26Speaker 3: they're paying for your service. So you know, you just
- 50:30Speaker 3: you just don't want to disappoint them. And I think
