  Speaker 6: But Envy starting it off this morning.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, It's never that serious.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry I will say this though, but I could
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: give a damn the bad guy. But you know, I
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: do like about the Megala, all the money they raised
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: for that damn museum, because I'd be sitting there thinking like, damn,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: how can we raise that kind of money for like
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: the International African American Museum, you know in Charlta, South Carolina,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: and all the other museums that are preserving black history.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Million dollars.
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: I think they said that their method get a lot
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: of the big black celebrities there.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: You know, they're not gonna come, you know, good and
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: damn well they bare to you know when they come
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: to support their own you know, it's not the same
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: level of it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But you know, validation. They always think white ice is cold.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: But you know, it's a lot of the designers that
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: are paying for those tables. So you got like the
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: couture fashion houses, and they.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: As I know, probably don't see the value in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: African American museums all over the country. That's what I'm
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: simply saying. No knocking nobody who was there. I'm just
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: simply saying, forty one million dollars is a lot of money.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: That's what I'll be thinking about it. I'm like, damn,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: they raised forty one million dollars for that museum. I'm
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: thinking about the business, the economics of it. I know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: you know Halloween costumes they be wearing.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure will break that day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: We'll find out who was on the red carpet, who
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: was there, whose outfit was the best, the outfit wasn't
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: the besket Well, we'll talk about all that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Even next Thursday.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm being honest at the Food Bank. You know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: here in New York City, they have a gala. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: know they're not about to raise though forty one million dollars.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: You know, that's my point.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: All these celebrities are here.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: My point, even all the celebrities here, because so many
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: people fly in just for that gallop. I'm sure most
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: of the people are not from New York that went
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: to the metgala last night. But we'll break down. The
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: meg gallon in the Metropolitan.

• 3:08
  Speaker 4: eat no paintings, right right, people can't eat no paintings.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying. And their history is not under
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: attack the way our is is. That's right, That's all
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I'm saying.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, we got to help, we gotta support all because.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I would love to know how much of that forty
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: one million dollars came from a black people.

• 6:38
  Speaker 5: asleep for the fourth quarter of next when it was
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: up so much.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I fell asleep. Now.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Also, in a new interview with The New York Barack
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Obama is getting candid about life after the White House.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: He says the pressure to speak out on today's political
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: climbing is creating tension at home. Are also revealing frustration
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: behind the scenes, including concerns about double standards in politics.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Now you dove into this interview, correct, yeah, bit of it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: So there's two separate things that he's talking about.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: So he's talking about the pressures that people put on
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: him because he is Obama to react and to speak
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: on everything, and the pressure of like what else could
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: you do? Because people believe that he should be doing more,
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: So he says in order for him, Obama says, in
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: order for him to function like John Stewart at least
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: once a week just going off from responding to everything
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: that happens, it would be it would kind of devalue.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: His voice and his opinion.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: He says, the media environment is so difficult that people
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: don't even know all the stuff that I'm doing right now,
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: and I think when they do see me, they sense
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: that all is well. Why isn't he doing that every
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: day instead of just doing a midterm election? So he's
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: talking about when he goes and he speaks out during
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: different rallies and stuff like that, or during various campaigns.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Now he is talking.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: About the fact that when you talk about frustrations at home,
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: he says that his political schedule is still frustrating Michelle Obama.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: She wants Obama to slow down, but politics keep pulling
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: him back. So he he's telling the New Yorker that,
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: you know, he's having a demanding schedule right now, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Michelle wants to see her husband easing up. Miss Michelle
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: Obama excuse me, wants to see her husband easing up
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: their lives, which has been a big conversation for them.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Every time she talks about the White House, she talks
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: about how much their lives were impacted and how much
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: she couldn't wait until it's over. So it seems like
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: that's still becoming an issue for them right now.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Do we ask more for President Obama because he's our
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: first black president? Did we ask for all the presidents?
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: And all the presidents have this schedule? Like they couldn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: have the same schedule that you know, we nobody didn't,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: but you know, did they all have those same schedules.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: First of all, the pressure President Obama is because we
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: are watching our democracy be threatened in waves. We've never
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: seen our democracy threatened before, and nothing that is coming
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: from the Trump administration is normal, So we don't expect
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: normalcy from anyone who has held that position before. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: know presidents aren't supposed to speak on, you know, other presidents,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: but I think it's important for all the presidents who
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: are still alive.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They'll let them, They'll let the American people know what's.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Going on is not normal, right, Like, that's why you
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: know it might feel like it's a little bit more
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: pressure for President Obama. And he's the only president that
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: seems like he's got a pulse. That's still a lie,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: he says, he's just true, right Like.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He's the only one that seems like he's he's still
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: here with us.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: Obama says he feels like if he tried to compat
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: every outrageous utterance in various policy from the Trump white House,
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: he would quickly diminish his impact.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: That was the quote, Why is he looking at this
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: from a perception standpoint? You either do what's right or
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: you don't. You either say what's right or you don't.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: But also, when you give your life to politics and
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: you finally come out that office and you want to
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: live a little, you want to see your kids a little,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: you want to live life. Doesn't he get that right
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: too as well? Fall back and just say I'm gonna
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: live my life and chill with my family for a
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: little bit.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Sure, but if that's the case, then everybody should do that,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: then nobody should care about what's going on.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, like anybody would avoid anybody with a platform. Nobody
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: should care what's going on. If everybody could just keep
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: their feed up and relax and enjoy their life and
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: enjoy their money, than.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Everybody you should be able to do that, like you should.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Uh, you can't put that responsibility on nobody, you know
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: what I mean? Nobody should have to speak up?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Well that is why you paying them something.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: John Steward, I think they were just talking President.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: I think they were just talking about because they also
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: get into him in the immediate landscape, So I think
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: they were He's talking about the expectation of everyone to
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: always hear him, respond to something when it happens, or
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: to say certain things more than the people just think
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: he pops up when we need them for elections.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Well, the reality is your party needs a leader because
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: your party doesn't have what President Obama. So you were
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the last actual real leader of the party. That's that's
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: just the reality of the situation. It's not our fault.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Democrats didn't build a bitch. Wait you know the hell

  Speaker 1: That's a lot of Chicken Boyne.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: The Met Gala has grown into the largest museum fundraiser
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: in the world and the money that they raised, they
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: used this to preserve more than thirty three thousand objects,
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: and you know that represents seven different centuries through fashion
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: and different accessories for women children from the fifteenth century
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: to present day. Now, tickets generally cross seventy five thousand dollars,
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: but designers buy these tables and invite the celebrities. That's
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: why celebrities show up dressed in certain designers. Now let's
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: get into who was there. So of course we talked
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: about Beyonce making her big return to the carpet after
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: a decade and La La.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Our girl, La La. She was hosting for Vogue.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: So at the top of the stairs, when you got
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: to the top before you went in the Met Gala,
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: you would speak to La La. So Beyonce was there,
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: she was on the carpet. We got to see Blue,
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: Ivy and Jay Z as well. And Beyonce shared some
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: words about her at tennis sas say he listen.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: Now, b it's been ten years, ten years, how does
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: it feel being back?
• 20:43
  Speaker 16: It feels surreal. Because my daughter's here and Blue looks
• 20:47
  Speaker 16: so beautiful. She looks so beautiful. This is incredible to
• 20:50
  Speaker 16: be able to share it with her, And I think
• 20:52
  Speaker 16: she looks so incredible.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: She looks so beautiful. I'm like, we could learn some
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: red carpet tips from Blue.
• 20:57
  Speaker 16: Absolutely because you was ready, She was ready, She is ready.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, So, b what are you looking forward to most
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: from tonight?
• 21:05
  Speaker 16: I think it's really just experiencing this through the eyes
• 21:08
  Speaker 16: of Blue and being able to relax. And I think
• 21:11
  Speaker 16: for me, I'm wearing Olivier Roustin, who is so good,
• 21:15
  Speaker 16: someone that's been so loyal to me, and I've done
• 21:18
  Speaker 16: so many incredible, iconic looks with him. So it's really
• 21:22
  Speaker 16: about representing him and celebrating bodies. Just celebrating all bodies,
• 21:27
  Speaker 16: all the different bodies, different, juicy, being tall, whatever, just
• 21:32
  Speaker 16: celebrating whoever, whatever, God gave you.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: So, this year's theme was costume art and the dress
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: code was fashionist art, but they celebrated different bodies in
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: the museum set up that they had now.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Beyonce mentioned Oliver.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: Rustine, who is who used to be one of the
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: heads over at Ball Main Black Designer, and he was
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: like one of the first black designers to lead a
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: coutur fashion house, which is a really big deal.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: But yeah, we have some photos of.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: The Carter family on the carpet and Kardashian there as
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: well too, sizz A Bad Bunny, Cardi b.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Oh it was bad Bunny, so bad Bunny.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: He was representing an aged body. He's like fifty two
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: years old. So there's like a lot of prosthetics and
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: stuff like that as well too. Now, some of the
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: people who were not there, notably because they've been their
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: previous years, but also this one person spoke out, Taraji
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: p Henson was not there, and she actually was very
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: vocal about the celebrities who chose to show up at
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: the carpet and acts, what the f are we doing
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: because people should not be there. Because Jeff Besos it
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: was one of the lead sponsors for the gala, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: it was also reported that Zindeya you know, wasn't coming.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: She did not show up, even though her stylist and
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: the duo was known to show up together came and
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: people believed too that potentially she may have not shown
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: up because of the whole Jeff Besos tie in.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: That's interesting, but you know that should kind of be
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: consistent all across the border, right, Like do you stop
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: using Amazon to get your packages? Do you you know, if.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: You're an actor and actress, do you not Amazon? No? No? Yeah?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: And g Amazon prom but do you not do movies
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: and stuff for Amazon studios? Like I'm just I'm just saying,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I guess should be consistent all across the board.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: I agree with that.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: And Reverend Sharpton was on the carpet and he was
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: asked by New York One about the fact that Miguel Yeah, Okay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: He was asked by New York One about the fact
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: that he even showed up in the midst of all
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: the protests of stick a listen.
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: I'm here tonight to say that these artists that we
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: need to bring this world back to a level where
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: we all exude what we have inside.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: What about the Bezos success cherif how do you feel
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: I think that every year I've come, they've had very
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: wealthy people that supported Macca, and they didn't stop me
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: from coming. They don't have enough money to keep me
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: from talking to the artists I came to support. We
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: fought for years for diversity. I'm here to support Venus
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: and Beyonce. How do we fight and let a sponsor
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: make us walk away from the people we fought for
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: and salute Anna Wenter for making them coach chairs Despite
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: the controversy, my fashion sense is the ultimate African urban flavor, unapologetic.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Once again, it's interesting because we know they use black
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: culture to get people to come to the met And
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I understand folks making their stand against Jeff Bezos, but
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: I just wonder are you consistent with that in all
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: aspects aspects of your life? Like, once again, do you
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: stop using you know, Amazon to get your packages? Do
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: you stop reading things like the Washington Post? Do you
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: stop watching Amazon Prime? And if you are an actor
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: or an actress, do you not do movies with Amazon Studios?
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: It should be consistent across the board in all aspects
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: of your life.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Can't just be you know, want. But some people pick
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: their battles.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: They decide, I want to do this, but I don't
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: want to do that, right because this is this will
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: affect my money more.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: But this one, if I don't go to the gallo.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Then it's kind of one. You kind of defeats the
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: purpose I get. Yeah, you make one another one void.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Then what you're saying.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: I also think too, because you know, those pro test
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: against the Galla elite or like bubbling until the night,
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: and I was wondering it's specifically with Taraji, and I
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: was I reached out to try and like, you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: talk to her to get some audio for us today,
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: but you know she's working. Why wait until the gala,
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: like that night to do it, because those protesters have
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: been putting things out and doing things for the last time.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Saying it beforehand. We just haven't heard. It's a huge
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: night to do it. It's a huge night.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: But that's what I'm saying. I think I was trying to,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: you know, respond to you, Charlotte. I was thinking, maybe
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: it's you pick and choose your battles where you choose
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: the bigger platform. So if I say, oh, I'm not
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: doing a movie on Amazon unless I talk about it,
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: and even if I do, maybe it's a fast if you.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Wait offer it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: If you're an actor and actress and somebody office, especially
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: somebody like Taraji, and they get offered to do a
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: movie with Amazon Studio and she says, no, I'm not
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: doing it because the Jeff would be huge, and we.
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: Don't know what she maybe has recently turned down my
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: her plans are moving forward. I this was my first
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: time even hearing her be vocal, you know, in the
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: baso space. But I could be wrong though, but yeah,
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: she was one of the you know, people staring the conversation,
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: you know, and it's her right to do stuff.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: But question before before we get a bout of here.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: So when people go to this met gala, are their performances?
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Is there a DJ?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah? Food yeah? Or are they just looking at
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: each other? No?
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: When you go inside, it's a gala.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: I'm just asking, like I've never heard like somebody performed.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: It's a gala.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you performed last night.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: I believe her name was. I believe it was City Sweeney.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: And then when they get up the stairs with that
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: crazy ass outfits, like they can't walk around, like people
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: are not handling a.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: Lot of people change outfits.
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: It was Sabrina Carpenter that out perform last night, I
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: Saididney Sweeney, that's actress. Sabrina Carpenter performed last night. Beyonce Venus,
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: Nicole Kidman who Beyonce Venus Williams and Cole Kimen who
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: were co chairs, they host the gala, there's a bunch
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: of money rais, you do eat as well, and then
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: people leave it go to the after parties. Beyonce notably
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: last night changed her outfit into another outfit as well too.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: So it is a traditional gala.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: It's just million dollars. That's what people need to keep
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: in mind.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: This is it's an event that raises money right for
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: the Metropolitan Museum of Arts and listen, salute to them.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I think it's incredible whenever events like this can raise
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: that type of money. But I really do wish we
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: could do that for Black history museums and organizations. Okay,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: if these designers have the money for this, well, all
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: the celebrities, especially black ones, you need to be using
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: your cultural cachet to make these designers drop a bag
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: on these black history museums.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: What a statement that would be, because we.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Know for a fact the Trump administration has terminated federal
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: grants and funding for several black history museums and organizations.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Why because they say it's a lack of alignment with
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: administration policies and a push against you know, DEI initiatives.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: They've literally withheld are terminated grants to museums that focus
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: on black history, saying they do not serve the interests
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: of the United States. So what a statement it would
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: be if you made these black designers drop some bags
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: on these black.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Museums as we rap.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: I just want to say that the MET Museum does
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: have things that they do and like collaborative exhibitions. They
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: give loans and partnerships directly on like a larger scale
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: to HBCUs, various.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Blad they are Black history muss an organization.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: They're not. But what I'm saying is they have.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: An administration cutting their funding in their.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: Grands they use. They But what I'm saying is.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: That all these people that are raising the money, they
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: should also raise money for these others.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Stays out of the MET galles has nothing to do
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: with the.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: MET gallup, But why not take it out their pot
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: and give it to your people.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: You're just saying that it's just like these celebrities come
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: go to this MET gala, they can go to other
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: organizations and help our own out as well.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: And guess, especially when the black history museums and organizations
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: are actually being attacked, when this administration has literally terminated
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: federal grants and funding for them.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: He's taking taking away from the met gala.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: But all the celebrities that attended and all those designers
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: exactly black people that we these design outfits saying I
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: spend some money on this side.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: Chilling everybody is DJ Envy just hilarious.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Charlamagne, the gud we are the breakfast club. Let's get
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: back in some front page news. Thought off of sports.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Last night.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: The next week to seventy six is one thirty seven
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: ninety eight. The Timberwolves beat the Spur one four, one two.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: I can't believe that this first, that's that that was surprised.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I didn't know anything that was playing.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: I thought he was hurt now that it was the
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: last one to call that he played. But yeah, no,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: I think it was a game. When he shot, I
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: didn't see.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I fell asleep.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: I felt, like I said, even last night. The next game,
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: after the third court, I'm like, we got this.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Everybody was at the next game. I called one of
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: my like NYPD sources.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: They were there.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Everybody. Yes, yes, absolutely, what's up, Mami.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: We got you back, We got me back.
• 29:27
  Speaker 17: Good morning, v Lauren, Charlamagne, how y'all doing this morning?
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Good morning, good morning.
• 29:33
  Speaker 17: So okay, so we start this hour, we're gonna talk
• 29:35
  Speaker 17: about the mec Gala. So at one at one point
• 29:39
  Speaker 17: there was a protester who nearly broke through the barricades,
• 29:42
  Speaker 17: getting close to photographers before being tackled by police and
• 29:46
  Speaker 17: removed from the scene. We know him as Chris Smalls,
• 29:50
  Speaker 17: so Chris Small's He was the leader of a well
• 29:54
  Speaker 17: known labor activist. He started it back in twenty twenty Amazon.
• 29:58
  Speaker 17: They first fired him when he he walked out over
• 30:01
  Speaker 17: COVID safety conditions in a Staten Island warehouse. Well, he
• 30:04
  Speaker 17: was the one person that we know so far that
• 30:06
  Speaker 17: was arrested. He was charged with resisting arrests, obstruction, disorderly conduct,
• 30:11
  Speaker 17: blocking a vehicle with a sign, jumping over an NYPD vehicle.
• 30:17
  Speaker 17: But he went on to found the Amazon Labor Union
• 30:20
  Speaker 17: and in twenty twenty two he helped leaders there make
• 30:23
  Speaker 17: the first successful Amazon Union vote in history, or take
• 30:28
  Speaker 17: the post take the.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: First Amazon vote in history. So he was arrested.
• 30:33
  Speaker 17: There was a lot of protesting going outside, going on outside,
• 30:37
  Speaker 17: but the moment comes after this year event, a face
• 30:40
  Speaker 17: is growing backlash because it was tied to the involvement
• 30:43
  Speaker 17: of billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Besos.
• 30:47
  Speaker 17: They were serving as honorary chairs, so they were outside.
• 30:52
  Speaker 17: Of course, the people were had signs and they were
• 30:56
  Speaker 17: really upset about all the corporate power that they said
• 30:59
  Speaker 17: that was going on in side. But that wasn't the
• 31:01
  Speaker 17: only disruption activist. They projected messages across major buildings in Manhattan,
• 31:06
  Speaker 17: including directly onto Bezos his Manhattan penthouse. It started there
• 31:12
  Speaker 17: and then it moved to the Chrysler Building, the Empire
• 31:14
  Speaker 17: State Building, and they projected a video testimony of a
• 31:17
  Speaker 17: seventy two year old Amazon worker struggling to make ends meet.
• 31:21
  Speaker 17: Let's listen to what some of what she had to say.
• 31:23
  Speaker 18: Yeah, that was all breaking, when we struggle from paycheck
• 31:27
  Speaker 18: to paycheck, from w to We were need angers week
• 31:33
  Speaker 18: because if they weren't for every ass shit and every
• 31:37
  Speaker 18: Amazon facility, he wouldn't have all those zeros behind his knee.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Shame on you, Joe Basils. The people that need to be.
• 31:46
  Speaker 18: Being celebrated at the met gala are the workers, people
• 31:49
  Speaker 18: like me. We deserve that celebration. We deserve so much
• 31:54
  Speaker 18: more than we're getting. There's power in numbers. Enjoy damn gala.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: A workers gallon would be phenomenal.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, imagine, I don't know how this
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: would work, but imagine you did like a workers gallon,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: and you raised a whole bunch of money to give
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: the workers, like you know, much needed bonuses, even though
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: you already have the money, already have, even though you
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: already have the money.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: He gave like ten million dollars, at least ten million
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: dollars for this guy.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Gall But the lady was she looked like she was
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: a seventy between seventy five and eighty five year old
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: black woman, older woman, and she was just I mean,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: like you could see the pain in her face and
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: how upset she was.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: It was. It was very disturbing.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: It was very hard to watch.
• 32:31
  Speaker 17: I think a lot of people to your point, and
• 32:33
  Speaker 17: people were talking about her age. She was seventy two
• 32:35
  Speaker 17: years old and to be working in an Amazon warehouse
• 32:38
  Speaker 17: at seventy two years old when you should be retired.
• 32:40
  Speaker 17: I think that was the conversation that I saw online
• 32:43
  Speaker 17: last night surrounding you know what she had to say
• 32:46
  Speaker 17: and just blocks away, Luther, Chris.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Mas Saluthor, Chris malls Man, you know what I mean,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: because him being arrested last night brought a lot of
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: attention to that situation.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: So was Luther Christmas did.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah when I first started seeing them, because they've been
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: doing things like putting up signs on the Met Museum
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: and stuff like that, like the last like almost a month,
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: and I was like, why is it so quiet? But
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: last night him doing it in real time, I feel
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: like that was most effective.
• 33:08
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and also to your point too, just blocks away,
• 33:11
  Speaker 17: there was a counter event labor groups. They hosted their
• 33:14
  Speaker 17: own fashion show. It was called Ball Without Billionaires. So
• 33:18
  Speaker 17: then they kind of flipped the message and there were
• 33:20
  Speaker 17: workers as models, and they had a new theme called
• 33:23
  Speaker 17: Labor is Art.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: Instead of fashion is Art, it was labor It's Art.
• 33:28
  Speaker 17: And so those workers just you know, there was all
• 33:31
  Speaker 17: sort of protests happening at the same time. They really
• 33:33
  Speaker 17: wanted to make their voices heard as that Met gala
• 33:37
  Speaker 17: took place last night, and that kind of frustration it
• 33:40
  Speaker 17: wasn't just playing out in New York. Now this morning
• 33:42
  Speaker 17: in Philadelphia, parents, teachers, and city leaders, they're voicing their
• 33:46
  Speaker 17: own sort of outrage. So the city Board of Education
• 33:50
  Speaker 17: it has voted to close seventeen schools there despite protests, disruptions,
• 33:55
  Speaker 17: and fierce pushback from city leaders. So there was a
• 33:58
  Speaker 17: vote and it passed six to three. It was part
• 34:00
  Speaker 17: of a three billion dollar plan to reshape the district,
• 34:04
  Speaker 17: with officials saying it's about improving resources and opportunity for students.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: Now, this meeting.
• 34:09
  Speaker 17: Itself, it was chaotic, with protests inside the room, lawmakers
• 34:13
  Speaker 17: they were threatening legal action, and the vote it eventually
• 34:16
  Speaker 17: moved online after officials were forced to take two recesses
• 34:20
  Speaker 17: just to get through the agenda. Let's listen first to
• 34:23
  Speaker 17: a city council member and then to a teacher about
• 34:26
  Speaker 17: some of that back and forth that happened in that
• 34:28
  Speaker 17: that school board meeting.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: For the community to be at the table.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: They have not provided an opportunity for counsel to be
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: at the table, and they're just trying to ram this down.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody's worms.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: We are not going to stand for it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 19: They're gonna lose good teachers, they're gonna lose good students,
• 34:44
  Speaker 19: they are going to lose.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: A lot of support.
• 34:46
  Speaker 19: I hope they're happy with this plan and what they
• 34:49
  Speaker 19: decided on.
• 34:50
  Speaker 17: So critics say this is happening without a lot of transparency,
• 34:54
  Speaker 17: it's going to hit black students the hardest, forcing some
• 34:57
  Speaker 17: lower some into lower performing schools. But when you have
• 35:00
  Speaker 17: a school district and you're closing seventeen schools in that district,
• 35:04
  Speaker 17: it's forcing kids who have been in that school or
• 35:09
  Speaker 17: you know, people who live in that area to have
• 35:11
  Speaker 17: to now.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: Go to different schools.
• 35:12
  Speaker 17: And so it's a really big issue parents, school board members,
• 35:16
  Speaker 17: everyone really really upset by this happening in Philadelphia.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: What's the reason?
• 35:21
  Speaker 17: Budget cuts? They're trying to say it's budget cuts. But
• 35:23
  Speaker 17: then on the other side of that, which is what
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: I was trying to figure out, is they're trying to
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: find the money to fund it. So they're trying to
• 35:29
  Speaker 17: close schools to save money, but then figure out how
• 35:31
  Speaker 17: to you know, raise money or get money to you know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 17: formulate this entire program or see it through. So I
• 35:40
  Speaker 17: don't know, that's what I said. They're not From what
• 35:42
  Speaker 17: I understand, there isn't a lot of transparency behind why
• 35:45
  Speaker 17: they're trying to close seventeen schools.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would never understand why it's so hard for
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: people to find money for things we actually need, like institutions,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: we actually need, things that actually benefit our communities.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Can never get resources will get funded. Yeah, it makes
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: no sense. It makes no sense. It's been like this
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of time.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: It's always a fight, you know, when you got to
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: provide resources for you know, people, for people and things
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: that actually need it.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: And this just goes back to what you were saying yesterday.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: You know, you understand why people get so mad and
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: so upset when they see these billions and billions of
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: dollars sent to other countries and sent to war and
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: then they're closing schools because they don't have the resources.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: You understand why people get mad.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine people in that district that already have
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: a you know, fifty sixty kids per class, like, can
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: you imagine they already don't have the supplies.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's why people get so mad and upset. I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: don't understand why that's such a hard concept for people
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: to grasp.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 17: Yeah, So we'll continue to watch that because it's a
• 36:39
  Speaker 17: really big touch point. All right, y'all, Well that is
• 36:42

• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Look, I.
• 37:50
  Speaker 20: Did a whole bunch of bad shaving in college and stuff.
• 37:53
  Speaker 20: I've been having to do laser and all this other stuff.

  Speaker 4: Hegoes to a lot, and y'all act like men can't
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: have do maintenance on themselves.

  Speaker 6: You can, but you be not trying. You be running
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: from it. Who will be running from what you always
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: tell you get?
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: That's why don't get my eye. Welcome's in no way,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: shape or form.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: The arch the end right exactly, Okay.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Well, to be honest, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen listen.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Back in the day when I was in I don't
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: even think I was in high school. I think I
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: was like early twenties. Some girls told me that Tupac
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: got his eyebrows watch, and so they convinced me to
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: get my eyebrows watch. And I think when they grew back,
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: it just had a permanent watch. That's what I believe.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: That's a good way to look at it. It's the truth.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: It's been awful? What's what's been awful? Isaiah Shad.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I hear the album title and I listened to the album,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: but really the album title it sounds like a confession,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: like what's been awful?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: The industry, your personal life?
• 38:54
  Speaker 20: I mean an amalgamation of everything. You know, I'm just
• 38:57
  Speaker 20: a human being at the end of it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I went through some.
• 39:03
  Speaker 20: To an extent, but it was, you know, between being
• 39:06
  Speaker 20: an artist and the expectations of that, and I guess
• 39:09
  Speaker 20: my deconstruction of my masculinity has been a lot of
• 39:13
  Speaker 20: getting to know myself.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Who deconstructed it? Though?
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Did you deconstruct it or did you let the court
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: of public opinion deconstructed? Because I wondered you did you
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: face it before that became public or were you already
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: dealing with it privately?
• 39:27
  Speaker 20: I was already dealing with a lot of my own
• 39:29
  Speaker 20: stuff before. I guess it was I'm blessed to how
• 39:33
  Speaker 20: everything happened with me and the reception of everything, because
• 39:36
  Speaker 20: it allowed me to like step back and really re
• 39:39
  Speaker 20: examine what I was doing. Because regardless of you know,
• 39:45
  Speaker 20: how much I love myself, I still had to be like,
• 39:47
  Speaker 20: I put myself in a irresponsible situation for anybody to
• 39:50
  Speaker 20: be able to control my narrative.
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but at the time, because listening to the project
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: and then hearing you say that like you felt like
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: it was kind of like a bl person of how
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: everything happened. When when did you get to that point,
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: did you instantly feel like, Okay, this is a blessing.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:05
  Speaker 20: I mean at some point in time I accepted that
• 40:07
  Speaker 20: they don't make a manual for being like a bisexual
• 40:10
  Speaker 20: black dude, you know, or any of that type.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: They don't have a you know.
• 40:15
  Speaker 20: Yeah, And it was less like hiding myself from anything
• 40:19
  Speaker 20: more so like not knowing how to not be ostracized.
• 40:24
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: So also you got to control your holes, regardless of
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: their men and women, because who the hell was recording you?
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: If you listen to the album.
• 40:34
  Speaker 20: If you listen to the album, I go into a
• 40:36
  Speaker 20: great amount of detail about where I was at and
• 40:40
  Speaker 20: the influences I was under. Yeah, said a lot of
• 40:47
  Speaker 20: I was on everything under the sun. But that's no
• 40:49
  Speaker 20: excuse for the behavior. But and that's the main thing
• 40:52
  Speaker 20: for me, was like I'm responsible for myself, responsible.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: For my family and all that time.
• 40:58
  Speaker 20: That's only if I have any regret of anything, it's
• 41:01
  Speaker 20: just like not being ahead of it. Because I thought
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: about talking about this stuff on my last album, because
• 41:06
  Speaker 20: all that tape happened before the last album came out,
• 41:08
  Speaker 20: before houses bron Yeah, that's why I like on this album,
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: I talk about how I wasn't being honest with I
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: guess what I owe them most like is my audience,
• 41:18
  Speaker 20: because they seem to love me pretty genuinely. I don't
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: like what things like that happen to people, and I
• 41:23
  Speaker 20: tell you why because I feel like, you know, your
• 41:25
  Speaker 20: personal life is yours to unpack when you want to
• 41:30
  Speaker 20: unpack it. And I think sometimes when things like that happen,
• 41:33
  Speaker 20: you know publicly, you're forced to try to explain things when.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: You may not be ready to explain. To me.
• 41:38
  Speaker 20: I feel like I've always been under some type of
• 41:42
  Speaker 20: divine guidance. I grew up in the church, and you know,
• 41:45
  Speaker 20: I kind of grew out of wanting to go as much.
• 41:50
  Speaker 20: But my life has definitely been led like I put
• 41:53
  Speaker 20: it like, I feel like it's purposeful. I feel like
• 41:55
  Speaker 20: I'm an artist just to make money, like I'm here
• 41:58
  Speaker 20: to affect you in some type of way. So I
• 42:01
  Speaker 20: feel like, you know, it happened, it was supposed to happen,
• 42:04
  Speaker 20: and my life is better for it.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Did that moment break you or three you? Or both?
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both at the same time.
• 42:13
  Speaker 20: You know, It's when anytime you don't get the control
• 42:17
  Speaker 20: how you want to, you know how you want to.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Perceived.
• 42:24
  Speaker 20: And again it was like me understanding again like what
• 42:28
  Speaker 20: was for the main thing was like what was masculinity
• 42:31
  Speaker 20: to me? It made me confront a lot of stuff
• 42:32
  Speaker 20: that I was saying about women and a lot of stuff,
• 42:36
  Speaker 20: a lot of ways I was expressing myself that was
• 42:39
  Speaker 20: really coming just from a place in insecurity. I mean,
• 42:42
  Speaker 20: I feel like I've gotten loved myself a little better.
• 42:45
  Speaker 20: In my family, man, we were way better open conversations.
• 42:49
  Speaker 20: We were pretty open before, but that was like all
• 42:52
  Speaker 20: on the table all the time.
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: Had you talked to your family, like your mom and
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: different people before all of this stuff you were kind of.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: Dealing with it.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely like my homeboys more than my mom.
• 43:02
  Speaker 20: I talked to my homeboys about everything I was going through.
• 43:04
  Speaker 20: So they were the ones who released like they was
• 43:05
  Speaker 20: like what the are you doing? Like why are you
• 43:07
  Speaker 20: you know? But they my homeboys, like they know everything
• 43:10
  Speaker 20: about me. My brothers. Yeah, oh so they knew beforehand. Yeah,
• 43:14
  Speaker 20: you know, you have conversations on tour just in life
• 43:18
  Speaker 20: and like especially when he was drinking all that type
• 43:20
  Speaker 20: of stuff, you end up talking to your homeboys like
• 43:22
  Speaker 20: I had to talk to you about that, and they
• 43:23
  Speaker 20: be like, all right, and so when you like that,
• 43:26
  Speaker 20: it's more so you no respect my own privacy to
• 43:30
  Speaker 20: my life. It was just being irresponsible with you know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 20: being under this allowed things to go out.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: My only thing was why you had to let doctor
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: wumbar down though, why they had to be white, Like,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: wh what.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about on the table I saw? How
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: can I don't know, doctor Peo. I probably will give
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: me anyway respect relationship. Do you feel like the culture
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: gave you grace or you forced to heal in public
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: whether you wanted to.
• 44:00
  Speaker 20: I feel like if you listen to my music on
• 44:03
  Speaker 20: the back half of it, it's always been kind of fluid,
• 44:07
  Speaker 20: you know.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: It's always been pretty.
• 44:09
  Speaker 20: Emotionally emotional, emotional and romantic and you know, and everything
• 44:16
  Speaker 20: that rap usually isn't on the front on the front,
• 44:19
  Speaker 20: on the front side of it. Yeah, so I feel
• 44:21
  Speaker 20: like it was prepared for it. I live on a
• 44:23
  Speaker 20: pre whimsical life anyway, how people perceive me, you know.
• 44:26
  Speaker 20: So I feel like only people who were upset with
• 44:28
  Speaker 20: people who viewed me just because I'm like, I don't
• 44:34
  Speaker 20: know how to put it, like more feminine, that they
• 44:36
  Speaker 20: were surprised and that was the whole deconstruction thing of like,
• 44:40
  Speaker 20: what does that mean to me?
• 44:42
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Did it make you realize that the illuminati not real?
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Because you know they say, when you're getting the industry,
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: you gotta do scrange things and then you blow up.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: They told me, like Drake level of that's the case.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I heard it.
• 44:53
  Speaker 20: I passed my own humiliation. They told me I got
• 44:58
  Speaker 20: another ten years. Love that, So you know, I love
• 45:04
  Speaker 20: the Abnormal Record too.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying because you talk about how
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: your whole family with sex addicts, and I don't think we.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Don't have enough listen to have you here to talk
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: to you about it. No, No, that's that's cold. That's
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: that's important. That's important record.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: For me because I feel like we don't have enough
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: conversations about environment and how environment shapes us. Men don't
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: have enough conversations about their formative years and how those
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: formative years turn us into the people and we becoming.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to unlearn a lot of that. You know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: that's been amazing.
• 45:37
  Speaker 20: That's been the heaviest thing, like and to do it
• 45:39
  Speaker 20: without blaming, to do it and realize that the men
• 45:44
  Speaker 20: that would take me to go cheat on their wives
• 45:49
  Speaker 20: or whatever they would I would call, you know, my
• 45:52
  Speaker 20: uncles and whomever, and my my dad or whatever. They
• 45:56
  Speaker 20: when I look at their fathers and the lack of
• 45:58
  Speaker 20: their lives, like I can't I can only be so upset,
• 46:03
  Speaker 20: you know what I'm saying. I could take what happened
• 46:06
  Speaker 20: to me in the past or what I saw them,
• 46:08
  Speaker 20: but I got to be responsible for that, and I
• 46:11
  Speaker 20: got to give them grace because you know, they a
• 46:13
  Speaker 20: lot of them don't have the same opportunities to see
• 46:15
  Speaker 20: the world and experience it as open as I am.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: To have the growth. So you know, it's my responsibility
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: to at least give them that.
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: Well, what's crazy is you talking to you talk on
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: the record about how when you were twelve, you know,
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: they said you want to see some nazza your daddy
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: kept your stash and they basically was showing you think
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of times guys showed the sons that because
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: they don't want their sons to end up.
• 46:35
  Speaker 20: Yeah, you end up hyper hyper sexualizing your kid and
• 46:38
  Speaker 20: a fearful preventative type of thing make them worse.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: Low key, did y'all have so when you finally when
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: you came out, did you have a composition with those
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: men that introduced you to that.
• 46:50
  Speaker 20: They my uncle passed, my I only talk to my dad,
• 46:54
  Speaker 20: so no, but I talk to the men who's still
• 46:56
  Speaker 20: in my life about it, and luckily most of them
• 46:59
  Speaker 20: a positive influences. But it was good to just talk
• 47:03
  Speaker 20: about what happened to people I look up to you.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: Did they understand when you went back like having that conversation.
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: Are they understanding or are they just positive because they
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: only just.
• 47:12
  Speaker 20: Knew, like they know exactly, but they were like, this
• 47:16
  Speaker 20: isn't that surprising?
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: What did this experience teach you about masculinity?
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: Especially in a genre that rewards a certain image of
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: what a man is supposed to be?
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: What did it teach me?
• 47:30
  Speaker 20: It's like the most most characteristics that are pushed are
• 47:34
  Speaker 20: like negative, you know, the promiscuous nature and how that's promoted,
• 47:42
  Speaker 20: and being cold. Being a good dad isn't like promoted.
• 47:46
  Speaker 20: Being like responsible isn't promoted. Being a leader of your
• 47:51
  Speaker 20: community without having to without getting the the accolades is
• 47:57
  Speaker 20: being a leader. The emotion and you treat people that's
• 48:01
  Speaker 20: not really there. And real men cry, real men, you
• 48:05
  Speaker 20: know what I mean? Real men cry, Real men feel
• 48:07
  Speaker 20: things and women question themselves. But to go through life
• 48:10
  Speaker 20: is like just sure of yourself and and being and
• 48:14
  Speaker 20: coming off invincible. Could just lead a kid down the
• 48:17
  Speaker 20: wrong way, feeling like he gotta insulate himself in that
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: type of.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Character, you know what I mean.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so what are your superpowers? That's another record
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I like on that.
• 48:27
  Speaker 20: Man, I got crazy empathy and as a somebody who's
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: who's in constant recovery.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I mess up. I'm not perfect.
• 48:40
  Speaker 20: Nobody know a junkie like a junkie, bro, Man, I
• 48:44
  Speaker 20: feel like that's what I'm here for.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: You feel like you was a junkie. I go to.
• 48:49
  Speaker 20: AA bro, and I'm comfortable with being called a junkie
• 48:53
  Speaker 20: from another junkie, don't you don't If you ain't never
• 48:55
  Speaker 20: did drugs, I'll talk to anybody. But if you're an alcoholic,
• 48:58
  Speaker 20: like just because on drink today, I'm still alcoholic, you
• 49:02
  Speaker 20: know what I mean. That's stay with me for the
• 49:03
  Speaker 20: rest of my life. And this is how I'm genetically
• 49:06
  Speaker 20: built too, you know what I mean.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Come from a family.
• 49:08
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm already predisposed to it.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: My mom's telling me that all the time. My mom
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: used always tell me and my brother watch that alcohol
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: because alcoholism runs in both sides of your family.
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: Seeing that to me too in my grandma.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: And it's really an alcoholic I tried.
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: To be a lot more disciplined now, like I do
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: challenge myself, like i'll fast, I'll set days and times
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: just to make sure that I can control it a bit,
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: because you get to like socially doing it so much,
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: and then you start depending on it for certain things
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: like oh, I got to take a shot before I
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: do this, and and then once you get around people
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: that will call it out like he be on me.
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: And then I started to notice like, all right, well,
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: let me try and challenge myself to like not because
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: I would come in here in the morning and be like,
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: y'all need two shots before the show start, just to
• 49:49
  Speaker 7: feel like it wouldn't give two, you know. But even
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: like I'm thinking about college, like we would drink before
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: we went to class. That was a thing too, And
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: I thought that it was regular because it's college, and
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: then you get in.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Real life and you the college ain't real real life.
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: It's like a simulator.
• 50:03
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a bubble. Yeah yeah. I felt the same
• 50:06
  Speaker 20: wing on.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: So where do you think you were trying to run
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: from our escape when you were getting drunk.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: What was you was you numbering yourself to something? Well, yeah, definitely, man,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I got without.
• 50:16
  Speaker 20: You know, I don't like going down the list of stuff,
• 50:18
  Speaker 20: but you know, I have unresolved parental stuff on both ends,
• 50:23
  Speaker 20: like respecting my relationship and my mom. We still have
• 50:26
  Speaker 20: stuff to work out, and you know, I just my
• 50:29
  Speaker 20: father and stuff. I don't like getting too heavy into
• 50:32
  Speaker 20: it in my thirties. I'm like, handle that versus complaining
• 50:36
  Speaker 20: about that.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's complaining, yeah, but that, you know,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: and then just substance going from college.
• 50:41
  Speaker 20: I mean it like I got signed when I was
• 50:43
  Speaker 20: twenty one, so and getting signed and getting thrust into
• 50:48
  Speaker 20: this world, especially they're in the blog era was just
• 50:51
  Speaker 20: and partying was normal like we used to in college.
• 50:54
  Speaker 20: We used to drink ever clear and set it off
• 50:56
  Speaker 20: no fun.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: So that was a challenge when you first got to
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: my college, Like if you could drink it and get
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: through it your first Thursday Thursday like you had it
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: was kind of it was.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Like just hearing the word of a clear. He was
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: doing that. He was doing that? And would you go
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: to State University?
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: I was so off of that right on Superpower.
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's own happy hour, that's the you do
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: like the radio skit, right, so you do the radio
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: skit that you talk about your addiction, you talk about
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: your mom and how she's like crying and still not helping.
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: And are you telling me if I'm wrong?
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: Are you comparing what you're experiencing in the entertainment industry
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: like that being your escapism but then also comparing that
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: to like drug use being your escapism too, and how
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: both of them are kind of like feeding the fire. Yeah,
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: because I thought, I'm like, why bring in? Why started
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: with like the radio and like the you know, unless
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: you're signaling.
• 51:48
  Speaker 20: Like oh oh okay, yeah, I just be making stuff.
• 51:52
  Speaker 20: A lot of stuff that I do isn't necessarily like planned.
• 51:56
  Speaker 20: It's just I have patterns that I recognize and I'm like, well,
• 52:00
  Speaker 20: this just sound good on the same projects together. But
• 52:02
  Speaker 20: the radio thing is just something I wanted to do
• 52:05
  Speaker 20: anyway because I heard that part and not just the
• 52:08
  Speaker 20: name of it.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it's because.
• 52:10
  Speaker 20: It's not to cut you off, but it's because of
• 52:13
  Speaker 20: the variety and the album. It's like to set it
• 52:16
  Speaker 20: up thematical because I don't really do concept album, but
• 52:19
  Speaker 20: it's like it's an underground radio because its a smortgage
• 52:22
  Speaker 20: board of different kinds of sound.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: So it was like that and it's just something.
• 52:26
  Speaker 20: It set me up pretty good when I heard the
• 52:28
  Speaker 20: beat doing that, it's easy for me to come.
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: Up, you know, the biggest thing that we can do
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: for each other as people stop acting like everything is
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: so black and white. That's why I hate social media
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: so much, because we take these complex things and try
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: to make them a your beat right around, as.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: We try to debate it instead of understanding, and it
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: might not be meant to understood. It might just be
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: meant to talk.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: You might understand exactly what you're going through and it
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: might not be for nobody else to understand.
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: But the issue is though, but once it's online, then
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: people are debating and trying to fake understands.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: People public opinion once you do that, and that's the
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: gift the curse of the internet.
• 53:10
  Speaker 7: And that's too Like when every time, like when you
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: said I signed up for this and he's like, no,
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: you didn't. I feel like it's a difference in like
• 53:16
  Speaker 7: the age groups as well, because like, like.
• 53:19
  Speaker 20: I knew what I was getting too, Like I didn't
• 53:21
  Speaker 20: know the possibilities of everything for sure, knew.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: You know, we were on the same.
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like you got to take what comes
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: with it.
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: How are you thirty four?
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Oh? Okay?
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: You he's so mad. He's so mad it didn't work
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: because he you know, he predates the internet.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I'm forty seven. Y.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of crazy.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: I've been. I grew up with him.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, same, same, same.
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: But the reason I say that is because like he
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: is so far in his career that like I feel
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: like he doesn't they have the privilege to be like
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: I didn't sign up for that. I'm not going to
• 53:59
  Speaker 7: do that today. And we can do that, but like
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: it's so different for us.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you didn't have Wikipedia or people.
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: Doing TikTok reviews when you'd be like, no, I'm good.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: What is the thing? I don't care what your sexuality.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: That's my point. It really does not matter is the music. Jamin.
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: If this album was whack, I would be saying, how
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: this album is whack And it's not because of some
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: But when you're older.
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: And you're involved in you have sense.
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: It's like if everybody could be that, like the rationale
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: could be there it would be so much less of
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: a lot of things.
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: But you know you really, I'm not joking. You owe nobody,
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: no explanation if.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: You choose too cool, but you really don't not only do.
• 54:41
  Speaker 20: It for the look to man, thanks.
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: You need to hear it.
• 54:46
  Speaker 20: Yeah, like I really, that's the only people I owe
• 54:50
  Speaker 20: is the people you know in the ministry.
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: And that's the hard spot because it's like when you're
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: vulnerable like you aren't, people connect to you and they
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: need it. But at the same time you got the
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: people on the other side, and some people run away
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: from being vulnerable because of that.
• 55:03
  Speaker 20: What's crazy is you won't see negativity unless you seek
• 55:07
  Speaker 20: it out, turn your phone off and then and then
• 55:10
  Speaker 20: if somebody is negative enough to hop in my comments section,
• 55:14
  Speaker 20: they really just like me.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: You really like me a lot. So it's like, just do.
• 55:19
  Speaker 20: Just deal with your insecurities on your own and I'll
• 55:21
  Speaker 20: be here when you're When you're done.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: You're gonna put that tape out enticed guys, it might
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: have seen what you was doing that it's not sexy.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: It's not sexy.
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: That kept my stock like be hones, how many people
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: in your dms like, yo, what's up?
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: It was a lot. See what I'm saying, It's like,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: it's like nobody with me.
• 55:41
  Speaker 20: Nobody's that attractive when theyre coming at you on that
• 55:44
  Speaker 20: end of your life.
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: You know, like it wasn't nobody that you like. Well,
• 55:48
  Speaker 7: they sent their numbers, so let me at least just you.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Know, maybe.
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: Yo, you need something?
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Am I number past? Yeah, a lot of makeup artists
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: hit me up. Listen.
• 56:12
  Speaker 20: Gave me an opportunity to expand my audience. It's like,
• 56:16
  Speaker 20: oh you like this, so we everywhere with it.
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: I wonder because hip hop is gonna always struggle with
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: conversations around sexuality, vulnerability, masculinity.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Do you think what you went through moved the culture
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: forward in anyway?
• 56:30
  Speaker 20: I mean I think it was pre dated a little
• 56:32
  Speaker 20: bit with me with Frank and the Tyler did and
• 56:37
  Speaker 20: all that kind of and then I feel like you
• 56:40
  Speaker 20: just gotta not go out like back in the day,
• 56:44
  Speaker 20: I shouldn't have said that.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't said that, But how the Internet did that?
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: You know? That was that look? But yeah, that's you.
• 56:50
  Speaker 20: You kind of had that same Yeah, Like it was
• 56:52
  Speaker 20: like we was fifteen years past that. So you know,
• 56:54
  Speaker 20: I think I was just hitting a nice little soft cushion.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: When people look back at this chapter of your life,
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: what do you hope they understand that headlines got wrong.
• 57:04
  Speaker 20: I don't think people will look back at this chapter
• 57:06
  Speaker 20: like that, after everything is going on, like this is
• 57:08
  Speaker 20: to be a book note. And I feel like it's
• 57:12
  Speaker 20: not that surprising. If you know my music and you've
• 57:16
  Speaker 20: seen me, I'm like, if I wasn't already, yeah, I
• 57:20
  Speaker 20: was hell affectionate.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: You know, you know it ain't I am who I am.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: I'm here, you know, I don't know.
• 57:33
  Speaker 20: To mean just four projects who I've been up here
• 57:35
  Speaker 20: and have been seeing you for the past fifteen years,
• 57:37
  Speaker 20: or I'm here doing something for somebody.
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: I respect anybody who's not afraid to be who they are.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: That is it? Like I don't care, don't I don't care?
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And I'm sure it's a
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: bunch of other people that feel that way too.
• 57:53
  Speaker 20: I think most people, we all we all got somebody
• 57:56
  Speaker 20: in our family, you know what I'm saying, to some
• 58:00
  Speaker 20: extent of who's by gay or somewhere in between or
• 58:05
  Speaker 20: transitioning or whatever. So here's and it's like not even
• 58:12
  Speaker 20: to make it a thing. It's like you're I don't know,
• 58:14
  Speaker 20: on a scientific level, you're very much predisposed if you
• 58:17
  Speaker 20: come from a broken.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: To have some type of sex. You curiosity. Some paper
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: it might be wrong, but yeah, hell, because you're searching
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: for a need for something.
• 58:27
  Speaker 20: It's just the dynamics of relationships. I was like, you know,
• 58:32
  Speaker 20: if you if you only grew up around women, you
• 58:35
  Speaker 20: know some of your habits, or if you only grew
• 58:37
  Speaker 20: up around men, some of your habits and how you
• 58:39
  Speaker 20: view things. A girl, that group that was raised by men,
• 58:43
  Speaker 20: you can't be surprised when you start liking girls.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: I think it's just something. Yeah, like you said, I
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: just think it's biological. I don't know if.
• 58:50
  Speaker 20: It's I think it's a combination. Some people are some,
• 58:53
  Speaker 20: some nurture some and some of it's a combination. And
• 58:57
  Speaker 20: it's not up to me to determine. It's gonna take
• 59:01
  Speaker 20: up too much of my life besides just being okay
• 59:05
  Speaker 20: with it.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: You are who you are, You are you are, So
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: what's the more of the story, man? From everything you've
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: been through? Is it fame? Exposure? Healing?
• 59:12
  Speaker 20: All of it is by my album so I can
• 59:14
  Speaker 20: take care of my family.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: It's been awful it's been awful.
• 59:18
  Speaker 20: The bills are high, h the government's weird. They want
• 59:23
  Speaker 20: to take parks away from people, and a whole bunch
• 59:26
  Speaker 20: of others that I don't have to get into because
• 59:29
  Speaker 20: I don't get paid to do that. But definitely just
• 59:33
  Speaker 20: about the album, man. By the album, it'll do something
• 59:35
  Speaker 20: nice for you, do something positive for your mental and
• 59:39
  Speaker 20: either you're gonna love it and feel seen or you're
• 59:43
  Speaker 20: gonna put it up until you need it.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna come back around.
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: It's been awful, man, Isaia Rashad, It's been a pleasure
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: at least to talk to you.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Go get the album. It's been awful everywhere you buy music. Now,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: let's get to the latest one. Lauren talk cool bad.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: I'm the homegroud that knows a little bit about everything
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: and everything.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: The little brown girls look at you and go, I
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: want to be like you.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: Take me on the breakfast club.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 6: Talk to me all right, guys.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 7: So we have been following the story of uh the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 7: reported shooting in the vicinity of celebrities homes and one
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: of the celebrities that people are trying to point to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: us Chris Brown. And we talked about yesterday how I
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 7: spoke to police and they could not confirm anything about
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: Chris Brown's home. They said they didn't speak to Chris Brown,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: that there's a bunch of celebrities that live on this block.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: Now there's a new update here that is mentioned in
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: the man who was arrested, who I found out yesterday
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 7: was released on the fifty thousand dollars bond was a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: part of Chris Brown's security team, and that as of
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: the story breaking on Friday, he was relieved of his duties. Now,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: I did speak to LA PD again on this story,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 7: and they again pointed out the fact that this did
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: not happen at Chris Brown's home, that they can confirm
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: that it was in the vicinity, and they cannot confirm
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 7: that this man was a part of Chris Brown's security team.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 6: I'm so confused at the very end.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 7: And what I will say is because you know, whenever
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 7: you're talking to a PIO source or a law enforcement
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 7: source on the record, is much different than if you
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: have a person inside of the agency, the police agency,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 7: who was willing to talk to you on background, and
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: at this point I think that that's what it is,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: that there's information coming from both sides of things. But
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 7: on the record, police are not willing to mention any
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: of the stories that I'm reporting now. But I did
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 7: reach out on it because I knew that we'd have
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: some questions in the follow up because of our story yesterday.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: What about the person that got arrested. Whatever happened to him?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: He was arrested and then he was really bond and
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 6: now he's gonna have to go to court.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Did they say what happened while I was he arrested?
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: The shooting, Like.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: The shooting did have the shooting of the bay. I
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 7: told you guys yesterday, police said that it was a
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 7: BB gun. It did happen, but it was not in
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: connection to Chris Brown that that police. But who arrest
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: was a woman in a car that called the police.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 7: There's a police We talked.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: About this yesterday.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that it sounded like a regular gun.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you shoot an ass Like what happened?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Like why what did he call the police?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: Like what she called the police?
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: Because she was I mean, she probably was scared allegedly, right,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: like she's in the car.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: The guy is a legend.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Calling the police on you if you hit me with
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: a B gun.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: The guy is a legend that she ran over. They
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 6: were in an argument, a verbal argument.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: She ran over his foot with the car and then
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: he shot what she thought was a weapon, but police
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: was saying that it was a CO two style BB
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 7: gun and the.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 6: Guy was arrested.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't say that yesterday. I did so that he
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: ran over the guy's foot, I did so.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: I don't remember running over back and listen, I remember
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: her saying that he got shot with an official Red
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: Rider Carbon Action two hundred shot range model air rifle,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: but I don't remember.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: The two gun she said yesterday.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I said that yesterday.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 7: But the whole point in this was the whole security
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 7: guards information. Police are not willing to go on record
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 7: about that either. And Chris Brown again has spoke out
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 7: and said he didn't know any of this was happening
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: at all.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: That's the sad part. How did Chris Brown get attached
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: to this? That's what I'm still nobody just wanted to
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: some clicks.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to figure that out, like I'm really trying
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 7: to figure that out. And I know, I've tried to
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: reach out to Chris Brown's team, but they aren't responding,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: he posted on Instagram. Police are the only people that'll
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: talk to me, and they are not attributing any of
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: this to Chris Browns. So okay, yes, and moving on.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: Yesterday we talked about Young Miami U Kritia. She was
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: down in Miami for a formula one weekend and there
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: was a party happening and she stopped the DJ. Now,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: we discussed that yesterday and she's had to come out
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: and apologize since then.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 6: Let's take a listen.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: We was in Miami.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 22: I was in the spa at the moment, you know,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 22: just trying to get it, trying to turn a.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 6: Part of down on the porn grow.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 22: I was just she ain't really trying to have a
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 22: good time. The video took place, and I just want
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 22: to send a publicly apology.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 6: To DJ Shan shot at DJ Sewan.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 22: It was never my intentions to publicly disrepect somebody and
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 22: make somebody look crazy Again. I was just trying to
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 22: turn up half on have a good time and happened publicly.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 22: So I'm sending my public publicly apology to DJ Shawn.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 7: Mack and there we have it and we can move
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 7: I saw people, you know, not accepting apology, which I
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: think is crazy, Like if she's correcting in a real time,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: let her do that and then move on.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: Because it sounds like she apologized because she got you know,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: all the DJ started hitting on and I'm sure the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: label hit her. That's what it seemed like the apology
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 5: came from. But before it, it just wasn't like your trash.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: She went on a little ramp, like she.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: She said, but she mentioned and in the shape room
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: comments also mentioning that you know, she was a little drunk,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 7: she was having a good time and she didn't mean
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: any harm by it. So I think you got to
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: take it that face value, right.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. I mean she felt that way.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: If she felt that way, that's her opinion on that.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: I thought it was wrong, But you know, if she
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: felt that way, she felt that way, don't don't change
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: up now because you know that backlash and the labels
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: mad at you if you felt something was like that,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: just like if somebody doesn't like her record, or somebody
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: that they're gonna say the record, is.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 6: You upset? Just as a DJ, and I understanding.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Staying on it. If that's how you feel, that's how
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: you feel, you can take it back.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: Like we've said, records of trash and not just her,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: but anybody's record that we don't like.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: But if we don't take it back when we like,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: we hurt the person's feeling.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: But if she was if she was a little intoxicated
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: and she jumped on that microphone and she did something.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Different, she can apologize. You can't tell her to keep
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: staying on it.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying stand and be like damn, I was
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: came from the right reason, then yes, absolutely, But if
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: it became because she got on the backlash yesterday, I didn't.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Really say her getting.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: A ton of people.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 7: I saw DJE, I saw DJ's making videos.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 6: Kick Capri make a video.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Different Chicago was on her ass.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: Kick Caprikay, now you make j you got an album
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: coming out and you're gonna need your record.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 6: And that was the conversation.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Why can't you just say that. I just said that.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: I said, do it for the right reason. She did
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: it for the right reasons.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: What you're saying is a bunch of DJs gave her backlash,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: and she's got an album coming out and she's gonna
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: want her records played, and she don't need the DJs
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: not playing her music because of what she did. The
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: DJ Shawn Mac And that's what it sounds like me. Okay,

  Speaker 4: to commit the crimes he's committed.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, we live.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: On a planet where economic strife is causing people amongst
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: us to become nuts, okay, radicalized, And the reality is
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: some folks are feeling so much economic pain that they
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: are fed up and willing to risk it all. I
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: don't know why I gotta keep having to tell you
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: all this, but it is the reality of the situation.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Well, what did Zachary do? Let's go to us Daily
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Crime for the report. Police.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 23: Zachary Nicholas Walton, a Domino's delivery driver, recently faced allegations
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 23: in Missouri. Police alleged Walton intentionally struck a customer with
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 23: his car. The incident occurred during a dispute. The dispute
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 23: centered on the customer not providing a tip. Walton reportedly
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 23: used his vehicle to hit the customer. This occurred outside
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 23: the customer's residence.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: You can't even order.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: Pizza and breadsticks and wings no more without the threat
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: of dying, okay, Zachary big Z you hit somebody with
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: a car over a tip.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, a tip?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: And if you read the article, I was reading the article,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: not just listening to the news report. He said he
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 4: only did it to scare him. I promise you if
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: you simply said to that man, next time, leave a tip,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: or say, hey, are you really gonna trust someone with
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: your food that you don't tip?
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: That's just the scariest running to hit me with a car.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: By the way, Okay, I'll be thinking about that every
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: time I'll order something and making sure I'll leave a tip.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: If somebody whispers that to me, by the way, that
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: is actually the reason you should tip. I mean, people
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: are gonna be crazy regardless, but I feel like if
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: you treat somebody right, put some good energy out there,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: give them the dignity of a tip. I think a
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: little differently about tampering with your food. And I know tipping,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: coach is confusion, confusing, right, because you constantly questioning yourself
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: should I tip?
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Or how much should I tip? What do you mean?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: I have to add gratuity because the person is breathing.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: But nowhere in the tipping guidelines does it say.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: If I choose not to tip.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, if I don't tip, I'm gonna get run over
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: by two thousand and eight Nissan Altima.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: All right, that doesn't even happen on GTA. Listen. I
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: know not getting a tip is frustrating people like get it.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: You're driving around gas high as hell, people order it
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: eighty that was worth for food and giving you nothing.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: That hurts, but you know it hurts more aintal sex, Okay,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: being penetrated by a man during one hundred years in
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: a prison, that is what you don't want, and that
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: is the risk you run, sir, Okay, because you didn't
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: do your jail math.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Your jail math is when you calculate if what you
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: are about to do is worth the time?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right? Is what you are about to do
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: worth the time? That you will get for doing it,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: and this ain't it okay. You was completely in the
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: wrong from the beginning. You started the argument, you escalated it,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: you used your vehicle as a weapon.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Then you left the scene because you didn't get a tip.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: Now you're facing charges like first three or so armed
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: criminal action, leaving the scene, all because somebody said, nah,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: I'm good on the tip, Zachary. Did you ever stop
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: to think that maybe, just maybe the person who ordered
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: the food couldn't afford to tip you. What if that
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: individual was spending his last to eat? Okay, what if
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: that person would love to tip you but just couldn't
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: afford to do so. Did you ever stop to think
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: that you're not the only person out here dealing with
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: financial issues?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, Zachary.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: If your emotional intelligence is so low that a missing temp,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: a missing tip, turns into attempted vehicular homicide, then you
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: are the one who doesn't deserve the tip.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: I don't like when you laugh when I say that word.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: Okay every time, homicideide, homocide, comicide. Now, Zachary, you didn't
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: just lose your tip. You lost your job, your freedom,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: and possibly your boonkie.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: For five dollars, please.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: You see, I'm trying to tell you and that's just
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: the tip. That was just the tip. Jesus didn't put
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: it all the way in yet. Please give Zachary Nicholas
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: watching the Sweet Sounds of the Hamiltones.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the doggie of the day, all
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: the doggie all the day.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: Yee.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: Always do your jail math ladies and gettlemen. Okay.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: Your jail math is when you calculate if what you
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: are about to do is worth the time that you
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: will get for doing it.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Always got to remember that.

• 1:12:25
  Speaker 8: The necklace was so high. It's painful, but beauty is pain.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 7: How long does your prep take? Like, how long are
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: you like I'll start like looking for your dress throughout
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 7: the year.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: You got to get two o'clock, so you started nine
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: in the morning.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you hear me. The glam genuinely.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 8: I think they pulled up to my hotel room around
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 8: eight thirty am. We were in the chair by eight
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 8: forty five and then yeah, I was on my way
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: to the met by you know, we do the rounds,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 8: we do the glam bot.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: Do all the pictures, all that stuff. But yeah, two
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: o'clock we're.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 8: In position at the met How long it takes me, Laura,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 8: You'd be surprised how last minute the glam is for us,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 8: because like, really the fashion is important, but I'm also
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: super focused on just like this and like who's coming,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 8: what do I need to know? What do I need
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 8: to ask them my dress. This was the longest out
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 8: I'd ever prepped.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 6: I think a week and a half, two weeks out.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 8: But sometimes I've had gowns that are getting the final touches,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 8: like the day before, two days before last year, I
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 8: wore an incredible designer, bish Me Fromarty for the super
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 8: Fine Black Taylor, and he's incredible. Was on Project Runway
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 8: out of Baltimore, so talented, and he did a custom look.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 8: So that was him just working up until those final
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 8: few days.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: So every year is different. You've been doing this for
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: like a decade.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: How has social media changed what celebrities are willing to
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: say to you on the red card?
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: I love that question.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 8: It has changed a lot, because that's part of the
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 8: reason people didn't stop last night. I think it's just
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 8: there's such a risk of things being taken out of context.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 8: We live in a clip economy at this point, right, Like,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 8: it is not often that people are like, wow, that
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 8: was an interesting sixty seconds. I have an idea about that,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 8: but I think I'm gonna go watch the full hour
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 8: long conversation first.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: Before I post a hot take.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: Right, And so, I think people have become more cautious
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: they've become more savvy, and I think they that's also
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 8: why we're seeing more public figures and celebrities who traditionally
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 8: would not be behind a mic in the way that
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 8: we are getting behind the mics or going to their
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 8: friends to have the conversations behind the mics, because they
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 8: really need to trust that they have what they believe
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 8: is a safe space. Some might also argue a softball space, right, like,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 8: you're not going to get asked the hard hitting questions
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 8: if it's your bestie who's doing.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: The podcast conversation with you.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 8: But that's just the world, the media landscape that I
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 8: think we live in, and I'm sure y'all see it
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 8: often here often, probably experience it often with your interviews.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 8: But it definitely changes the level of transparency, you know.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 8: But I will say, after eleven years of doing this,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 8: you start to build the trust right where I take
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 8: pride in people coming to me Like The Rock last night,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 8: Dwayne was not really doing a ton of process.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Start not first name basis, no Dwayne the.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 8: Rock Johnson, mister Johnson. He stopped and we've got a
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 8: great interview history. He met my dad and MAUI when
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 8: I covered the Mawana two carpet. So over the years
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 8: you start to get that feeling of Okay, I can
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 8: go to her, I can trust her.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 6: She's gonna ask me smart questions.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 8: They're gonna be fair, but I'm not gonna, you know,

  Speaker 8: the but Rihanna and Asap like they're always worth the way.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 8: I love how you know they are always doing their
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 8: own thing and yet somehow feel very cohesive. I believe
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: Rihanna was in Mason Margella. I loved seeing Damson indests.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 8: I just I loved the hair. I loved the pop
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: of red. I thought it was understated outside of.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Was that diamonds Beyonce was warming? Was that old diamonds?
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: I've seen a report that said it was all diamonds.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 6: Imagine it'd be anything less. I mean Sarrowsky Christo perhaps

  Speaker 8: Had to tell Blue Ivy was a vibe for that
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 8: to be her first megal of a carpet.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: I mean, she's so cool. She's so cool.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 8: She's got such a presence and you can tell that
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 8: she like, I'm so excited to see her evolution, Like
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 8: her star power that she oozes is so effortless.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 6: The shade. It was so sweet when I asked Beance, like,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: how are you feeling tonight? And she said, I feel
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: so good. My baby's here.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 8: She pointed to Blue and it was like Blue was
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 8: just doing her things solo on the carpet. Jay's watching
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 8: like a proud dad, and it's like we've all kind
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 8: of watched her grow up, so to see her in
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 8: a moment like that, completely cool under pressure.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: She was really fun to see.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 5: One of the one other question, one of the Jenna
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 5: girls had like a body suit. Then it was like
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: a dress off of a body soup that I see
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: something though, Kylie, I don't know the names.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 7: She had blonde eyebrows. Yes, you're talking about Kylie?
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 8: Wait wait wait wait who what with the body?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was Kylie Jenner I don't know what I
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: don't know what design that was.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 8: She didn't stop and talk, And honestly, so much of
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 8: my job, like in the moment, if I am not
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 8: getting the information directly from them, I don't know until later,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 8: right because in my ear, they're mostly like so and
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 8: sows on the carpet. Try to get I rememb're talking
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 8: about the moment, and then our guys in the studio
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 8: are covering the actual fashion details.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: So I'm getting the how are you feeling, who were
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: you with? What was the prep?
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 17: Like?
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 8: Talk to the talk to me about the road to
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 8: the gala, and then we'll toss back to the studio
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: and they've actually got the details being fed to them
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 8: in real time.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 6: So unless someone comes up to me and says.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 8: I'm with Michael Cores and I'm wearing Michael Cores, I'm
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 8: finding out honestly a lot of the time, like the
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 8: rest of y'all, Like right Afterrelliarelli, Yeah, oh that looks
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 8: Scaparelli too, I mean so structural, it's yeah, she was
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 8: just I.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: Want to ask about you.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: It was a moment in your career where you felt
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: underestimated and how I think.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 6: You know that this one Charle Mayne.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: I think in New York, like when I was, and
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 8: I don't know if it was underestimated. So much is
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 8: underutilized through no fault of like the networks. But you know,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 8: I was at MTV. I had signed this overall deal.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 8: I was super excited about it. I thought, this is
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 8: like my big break. I've actually been talking about it
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 8: on my Instagram, like this plot twist series because there's
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 8: some changes coming my way with my career soon too
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 8: that I'm actually excited about. But I felt underestimated because
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 8: it's like put me in coach, like I know what
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 8: I can do if I'm just given the right opportunities.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 8: And I just think it was a lack of opportunity.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 8: It wasn't a time where there was a ton of development.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 8: You were a blessing, right. Those opportunities with MTV and
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 8: MTV two, with everything that you had going on, really
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 8: helped shape.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: Me in that moment and sort of give me a
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 6: confidence that I was kind of losing in that moment.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 6: Quite frankly.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 8: But I think I've always been kind of underestimated. I'm
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 8: traditionally I've been shyer than people expect, and so growing
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 8: up The most you would hear me talk is if
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 8: I was on stage or on screen. I think that's
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 8: probably why I pursue this career. It was kind of
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 8: like permission to take up space. And so because of that,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 8: when I would come into a room, I would always
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 8: be undrest she gonna talk?
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 6: Now, what she gonna say? He wants to my come on?
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: I never understood that though, because I never understood why
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: MTV just didn't use you the way he was using you.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: You could have been doing the same thing in the
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Red Carbage.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: That's that's true.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 8: But you know, like, did we have shows like that
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 8: at MTV at the time, because I know the MTV
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 8: that I you know, we all on the ward showing,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 8: that's true, That's very true.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: And the music awards, the movie awards. Yeah, they had
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: plenty of awards.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 24: I know.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 6: The irony is as soon as I moved to LA
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: and got.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 8: The job at E News, I got flowed to New
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 8: York to go cover like the MTV movie and all
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 8: that stuff. Yes, there was some irony there, but it
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 8: all works out how it was supposed to work out.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: You know, how do you handle rejection in an industry
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: where everything is so public?
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: Facing. I guess I.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 8: Think I have always been so used to know, like
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 8: I just don't know is not yet for me. My
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 8: senior year of high school, you know, our one of
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 8: our English teachers gave everybody a word, and mine was
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 8: tenacious tenacity.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: I don't even think I knew what. I had to
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: google it later, like wait, what what makes me tenacious?
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: To national say it?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 8: But then I was like, yeah, no, that checks out.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 8: I think I've just always been someone who was raised
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 8: with this almost like a healthy delusion.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 8: My dad is always like, you can do whatever you want,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 8: you can be whatever you want, and not in like
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 8: a generic cliche way. Like that man really had me
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: thinking if I woke up at eighteen or ran.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: For president, like they can figure it out. They move
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 6: some things, you know exactly.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 8: And he spoke that sort of life into me at
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 8: such an early age.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 6: That no is something I never took personally.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 8: I'm like, oh, they just don't know me yet, they
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 8: don't see me yet. So I never took that personally.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 8: It's you just haven't been able to experience what it is.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: I know I can show you if you give me
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 6: the opportunity.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 8: So does it suck that it's a no yeah, but
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna go get it somewhere else, make it yes,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 8: somewhere else.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: How do you feel now, because I know so Hollywood
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: just got yeah, we have that. How do you take that?
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: You know, it's bittersweet. It's the indivent era. I think
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 8: it's the change, the changing landscape. Right, Like it's been
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 8: thirty years that Access Hollywood's been on the air. The
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 8: syndication studio is shutting down, so that's affecting all of
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 8: the shows that traditionally have relied on syndication.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 6: Caramo, the Steve wil Coast Show, et cetera.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 8: I think I don't want to say the writing was
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 8: on the wall with this show specifically. I think just
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 8: with that model, I am hopeful that, you know, there
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 8: will be some new iteration of the brand.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of things are just moving to digital.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 8: But I am also excited about what's next for me,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 8: and there's still so many other opportunities.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: I still work with E right when I'm on these.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 8: Big o War Show red carpets, when I'm in those
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 8: hosting positions, that's live for me. When I'm doing Fandango
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 8: big ticket interviews, one on one exclusives. That's an entirely
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 8: different property. American Ninja Warriors coming back this summer on NBC.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 8: So yeah, we've still got that stuff. But I'm excited
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 8: to have more time to act, actually build and focus
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 8: on IP and ownership. You know, I launched my show
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: Not About Sports earlier this year, and so I'm just
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 8: excited to embrace the changes.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: I always roll with the punches.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 8: I love it, honestly, the only thing constant has changed, So.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: You just gotta rock with it.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: I know you.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 7: I know you interviewed the Double Watch product cast right
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 7: for the second movie.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: Yea, in the second movie.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 7: It's very reminiscent about I feel like what you talk
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 7: a lot about in your plot to a series, about how.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 6: Things have to move and adapt and change.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 7: What has been your decision to share as those things
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 7: are happening intentionally, right, Like we read about you, but
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 7: you're deciding to give us your voice on it as
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 7: it happens.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's because of that, Like people may
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 8: read about it or they may.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: Experience me as a host.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: I think I got so comfortable being seen without really
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 8: being seen, right, showing up hosting the show, being impressive
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 8: and focusing on accomplishment only, Like that's always been kind
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 8: of a safe space to exist, Like when I'm struggling,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 8: or when I'm confused, or when I'm not sure, it's
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 8: easier to like be in hiding for that and then
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 8: pop back out when I have something impressive and interesting
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 8: to say. And the older I get, the more comfortable
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 8: and confident I gave, which is who I am and
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 8: like where I am in any given moment, the more
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 8: I am willing to embrace vulnerability publicly.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 6: And I think we're all in a really interesting time.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 8: You know, there are a lot of women, especially in
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 8: transition black women, particularly in the workforce right now, who
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: at a disproportionate rate are losing their jobs. Right It's
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 8: tough right now for everyone, but I think especially for us.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 8: And as I see the comments and I talk with
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 8: my followers, I was like, this is honestly a blessing
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 8: in disguise, because if I'm willing to be vulnerable about
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 8: my show going away, and.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 6: I'm willing to do it in real time and be like.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 8: I'm not figuring it out totally yet, but I've been
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 8: here before. I've had to ride the waves before, I've
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 8: had to navigate the plot to us before, I've always
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 8: come out on the other side. And the reason that
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 8: I can do this in a steady way is because
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 8: of what I've learned.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 6: So let me share that with you.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 8: Let me share while my life didn't collapse, let me
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 8: share why I'm excited about a not entirely known future
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 8: like that came through a lot of work, a lot
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 8: of therapy, a lot of figuring out who I am
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 8: and what my identity is outside of my job.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 6: So when I lose a job, I.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 8: Don't I don't lose myself because I've done a lot
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 8: of work to figure out who Zouri Hall is when
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 8: she's not on air, and so being transparent with the
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 8: plot Twist series is just something that I wanted to
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 8: share in case it helped anybody else who's also like.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 6: What am I doing with my life?
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 8: This is not what I saw for myself, This is
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 8: not what I expected.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 6: I did everything right and still and the feedback's been great.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 6: So I'm gonna just keep telling my business in small doses.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 8: Business, something I had to unlearn ooh, that's a good one.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: Jar.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 8: Something that I had to unlearn in this business was, Yeah,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 8: that opportunity sometimes and success and or lack thereof, is
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 8: not directly tied to my worth truly, because as someone
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 8: who growing up my career, my ambitions, my accomplishments, was
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 8: my identity.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: When I was passed.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 8: Over for something, when it was okay, maybe next time,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 8: but not now. Really, I used to take it personally
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 8: sometimes just in small moments, And I've realized there's such
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 8: a political.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: Game to a lot of.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 8: This, you know, and so often the reason that it's
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 8: someone else versus you has nothing to do with you.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 8: And there's also something beautiful about being able to say
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 8: that is for them, Like what is for them is
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 8: for them, what's for me is for me.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: And I'm not going to.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 8: Tell myself a lie about who I am or what
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 8: I deserve just because someone else this moment thought that.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 6: That wasn't who I was or what I deserved.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: And so, yeah, just embracing my worth outside of my
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: job and who decided that I deserved an opportunity, Yeah,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: I just had to unlearn my worthiness being attached to
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: my output, my creation, my my achievement.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: That is so dope because I remember, you know, ten
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: years ago when they did not know what to do
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 4: with at the TV and she was just you know,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: up there every day, you know, and I'm just like.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's just doing what she should be doing. Thank you,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: thank thank you for joining us this morning.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 5: And then you know, like I said, I'm gonna put
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 5: you in touch, like if you need an intern for
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 5: next car, somebody to carry.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 6: Your bag, read, carry things. He used to do it
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 6: for DJ Clue.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: Really crazy.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 7: Okay, So yesterday, guys, Stefan dig was in court with
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 7: his old chef. Now, this is the woman who is
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 7: accusing him of assaulting her back in December of twenty
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 7: twenty five and not paying her. Her name is Jamelia Adams
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 7: and yesterday she had to take the stand in the
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 7: courtroom in detail some of the allegations. Let's take a
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 7: listen to the chef on the details of the alleged assault.

  Speaker 15: Was the door closed?
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: The doors closed.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: So when he came in, did he opened the door? Yes?
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 6: Held the door.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 19: He came in and he was intent to hurt me.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Now his entire what actually happened.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 19: He was leaning against the dresser. He asked me to
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 19: get up to come here. I got up off the
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 19: bed and I came across to him, like I stood
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 19: on the side of him.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 6: He was like, what was all? He was talking?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: And then what happened?
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 19: And I was beginning to say you said, and I
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 19: couldn't finish my statement, and he sat He smacked me
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 19: with an open hand.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 9: So you said you pushed out and you made a
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 9: motion of your hands.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Is that any pushed with your hands?
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 6: Yes, around like his stomachus chest his shoulders up to
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 6: block his hands.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: And then he took his arm and he like came
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: around my.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 19: Neck with the he began to choke me, to push
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 19: her on my neck.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: So what's the story now?
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 7: So the story is that and I want to say
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: that Stephan Diggs denies all of those allegations. But the
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: story is that Stephan Diggs has this chef that that
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 7: was previously living with him.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 6: Now they met about chef. Yes, she was a living chef.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 7: They met about four years ago once they started communicating
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 7: via Instagram DM and their relationship blossomed in from friends
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 7: to her being the living chef. She was working with
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 7: them during a recovery year, and then she said their
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 7: relationship got complicated because they did have sexual interactions.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: She alleges right.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: So basically, she was alleging that after they got into
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 7: this big argument over another person that was working in
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 7: Stephan Dick's home, a woman that she alleges that he
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 7: had another sexual relationship with, that he had stopped paying
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: her and stopped inviting her to things. She talked about,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: an art basal trip to Miami. But her issue was
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 7: that she's saying that when she confronted him about the
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 7: non invite and the money, that he put his hands
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 7: on her. So now she is in court and she's
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: allegend these things, and he was actually charged with felony
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 7: strangulation and misdemeanor assault, but again he pled not guilty.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 7: He's denying all of the allegations, and his team is
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 7: saying that she made all of this up. And in
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: court yesterday it was the things were not on her
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 7: side yesterday whatsoever.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: It did.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 7: It began to look like from the picture that the prosecution,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, the defense was painting. They were painting this
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 7: picture like she was upset about the fact that he
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 7: was in relationships with other women and nothing to do
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 7: with what she's claiming now. She actually talked about the
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 7: time when she was upset about not going to Miami
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 7: with because her and Cardi B had some plans. Let's
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 7: say a listen, he asked me what was I doing
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 7: for the week, and I asked him, Oh, so you
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 7: weren't going to tell me that I wasn't able to
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 7: come to Art Basil.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: He explained why.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 19: And it was because of the situation with me and
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 19: the other coworker, Lindsay Bowling. I was upset with him,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 19: not upset at the fact I could go to our bass.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 19: So me and him have a relationship over four and
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 19: a half years. He could have told me weeks ahead
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 19: of time because me and his girlfriend, Carti B. We
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 19: were talking about having.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 6: Like outfits and stuff.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 19: It was like a whole thing being planned, and he
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 19: just waited to the last day. So I was more
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 19: upset with him not letting me know I wasn't going
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 19: to come like at an earlier time.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're calling his team is calling BS on this.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 7: And it also brought up the fact that like there
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 7: were text messages that were deleted and one of The
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: text message read something to the effect of I want
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 7: to ruin that be'es life. So he's in court right
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 7: now fighting to clear himself with all of this. So
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 7: that started up yesterday and it will be continued, so
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 7: we'll keep you guys updated there now. In other news,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 7: So we talked a bit about Chris Brown at the
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 7: top of the show, but I wanted to bring it
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 7: back because what we did not talk about was the music.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 7: You guys know that Chris Brown has a new album
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 7: that is coming out, so he actually announced yesterday, it
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 7: was like late yes today, he announced some of the
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 7: features that will be on his project, so I thought
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 7: that it was fair to bring that back in. He
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 7: announced that Sexy Red would be on the project. He
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 7: also has Leon Thomas on the project, and I know
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 7: that that song has been moving a bit. I saw
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 7: a Lucky Day there as well, and he's you know,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 7: this project was just called Brown. A lot of people
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 7: are excited about a new music video that he released
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 7: that is in the theme of Sinners. So just wanted
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 7: to make sure that we gave that some light too,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 7: because I think a lot of what Chris Brown says
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 7: is when he is doing something he's dropping the music.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 7: All people talk about it are the other things.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: Today's birthday?
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 6: People, Well, well I'm doing in real time. I'm trying to,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 6: you know, do do the best of both worlds.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: Born day, breezy and also in the TEENA, today's the
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 5: Tina's birthday to.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm sitting there the teen that this morning about
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: other things and.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 7: Yes, god, birthday, because I hate when people do that,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 7: like when they're talking to you about one thing and
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 7: it's it's something else that's happened, and then they don't know.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 6: Then they find out and be like.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, my bad texting Natina this morning.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 7: I'm not in text with Natina, but happy birthday, Natina
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 7: if she's watching, definitely a happy birthday.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, that's the latest.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: Birthday. I knew. I was just warming you up with
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: the others. Nothing all right. Now you're gonna say top Dog.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 7: Yes, it's brought to you by top Dog Law. So
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 7: any accident, bigger, small called top Dog Law.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: All right, everybody else in People's Choice mixes up. Next,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 5: you want to get your request in eight hundred five
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 5: eight five one oh five one.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: Let's start off with some Chris Brown. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning everybody.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 5: It's DJ n V Jess Hilarious, Charlamage to God. We
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 5: are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 5: the building. Yes, indeed, today is Silence the Shame Day.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. We have Shaunty Dots Welcome. How you feeling.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 24: I'm feeling good.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: I had a lot to talk about though, but first
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: I just want to say this is my ninth time
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: recording the Breakfast Club for Silence to Shame, the tenth
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: time because y'all had me on to talk about my
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: Grief Guide two years ago. So it's like my ten
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: year and Virtuary two for me on the Breakfast class.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: How are you feeling? You kind of studied for a second, so.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: You know, and you know, I've had a point, especially
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: from a mental health perspective, where I keep it real
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: even I saw you at the accelerator commass and congratulations,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: but ladies were coming up to me saying how are
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: you doing it?
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 24: I'm like, it's tough right now, and so.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: What should be celebratory for ten years of doing this work?
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: Being on the front lines. We lost six hundred thousand
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: dollars of funding two weeks ago.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: Wow, what happened?
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: We lost state funding and we weren't really given a reason.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: We were just told it was cutbacks. And so we
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: know that some of the state funding comes from federal
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: but then it trickles down. But to do that to
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: us when we were in the middle of programs. We
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: just graduated our third cohort for our Silence to Shame
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: University initiative, which is our college leadership program. We now
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 3: have over seventy ambassadors, like y'all we doing the work, Like,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: how can y'all cut us off for a program we've
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: already like, we're six months in and you're telling us
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna like reimburse us for it was a contract,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: you know, with the state government.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 24: So I don't know.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: I can't say specifically, but I do think it's probably
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: an effect of what's going on with the administration. Silence
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: and Shame is not the only organization that has lost funding.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: I was talking to doctor Spirit. Seventy five percent of
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: her funding is gone. You know, we see mental health
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: organizations merging together. It's a lot easier to merge for
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: profit companies than nonprofit companies. But one thing I am
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: standing on y'all is my faith and so most people
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: know I don't impose my faith on anyone, but I'm
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: trusting God through the storm. And I recently heard this
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: lady talk about eagles and how eagles are in the
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: midst of the storm, but they used the wind shear
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: to propel them up. And I feel like I'm in
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: the middle of the storm and I'm just gonna store
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: like an eagle and figure it out because it's money
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: out there, and more importantly, we're saving vibes. You know,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: we've impacted millions of people virtually through resources, but just physically,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people that we've touched through our program,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: whether that's our Youth Couke clinic, we have a Youth
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: Advisory Council, a parent cafe, Parent Advisory Council, the Science
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: and Shame University, Like you know, we're doing the work.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 4: What I don't understand is if you're already hurting people economically, right,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 4: where do they where do they think people are going to,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 4: you know, go to get get help exactly? Like you
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like that that economic strife is
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: causing mental strife, emotional strife, spiritual strife in a lot
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: of way.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: And what I tell people, y'all, people still look at
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: mental health sometimes like it's a bad word. I'm like,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: we all have mental health. It's how you think, how
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: you act, and how you feel. And to your point,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: if your mental health is not right, your finances won't
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: be right, your health won't be right. You won't be
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: able to get married and have children and sustain your
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: family household.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 24: Like it starts with our wellness in the brain.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: And if we just change this concept, that's why we
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: continue to fight so hard to erase that stigma around it.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 4: I even said that because I didn't even I mean,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: I know you told me that, but I didn't know.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: I don't think a lot of people know that type
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 4: of funding is being cut.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: Oh gosh.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 24: And so you know, we've been rallying the truth.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 3: So we're just trying to find more family foundations, you know,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: more grand opportunities.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 24: The other thing is, it's may, y'all.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: Most of the grant cycles for twenty twenty six are
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: done all kid twenty seven. So I'm like, y'all just
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: out here, got us, you know, out here looking crazy.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: But again I serve, with good God, we have great followers,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: great supporters, and I do want to celebrate the good
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: work that Silence and Shame has done over the last
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: ten years.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 7: But that's what's so crazy about like grief, right is
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 7: like things because you're probably grieving what you're not able
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 7: to do. But even when I saw you at Accelerate Her,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 7: like we could barely talk to each other because people
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: coming up to you and telling you like they're so
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 7: happy to see you, they're proud of you and all
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 7: these things that you're doing, and internally you're like, you're.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 6: Literally visiting going through something right now.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: And I had an ugly cry at Accelerate Her shout
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: out to Kim Blackwell. But and I told her, I
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: was like, I don't I didn't even know that I
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 3: was gonna make it here. But it was just that
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: strength to persevere and to keep going, knowing that when
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: I'm getting emails else and text from people like my
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: son is.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 24: A lie because of the work that you do, or
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 24: by you.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: Even sharing your stories, you know, because this started sounds
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: the shame started, you know, from me almost taking my
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: own life in twenty fifteen.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 24: So we've come too far.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: We've partnered with national groups like Sony Music Published and
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: the NFL Players Association, Jack and Jin. We just did
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: a partnership that we launched with the Home Depot Backyard
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: in Atlanta.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 24: So I'm hoping that some.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: Private donor or even just you know, everyday people who
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: love and support the work that we do, or might
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: have a family member that's suffering, you know, might want
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: to support our organization.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 4: You know, one thing I really want to focus on
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 4: me and my good sister Debbie Brown was talking about it,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: especially at the Mental Wealth Export this year, is we're
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 4: talking about mental health and we're having all these conversations, right,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: what are people actually healing?
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 24: One hundred percent?
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad you said that because I feel like
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: the conversation, especially even with gen Z and I know
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: Jen Alpha is too young to really talk about it,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: but even though some young kids are starting to talk
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: about it. People are discussing it, but I don't think
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: they're getting the help that they need. That is why organizations,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: you know, like Silence of Shame and even the work
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 3: that the Mental Health Coalition does with bringing all the
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: mental health groups together is so super important because it's
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: about repetition, it's about you.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 6: You got to keep telling people.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: To check in with your friends, check in with your
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: mental health. We have to get a check up every
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: year you go, you get your physical or even this
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: thing y'all our cell phone. If you don't charge this
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: puppy at night, what's gonna happen. It's gonna be dying,
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be depleted. So if we don't continue to
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: pour back into our health and wellness.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 24: On a daily basis, then no, we're not healing. And
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 24: I think that's what's happening. We're pacifying ourselves. We're putting
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 24: band aids on things.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 3: So shout out to all the great therapists, psychiatrist, social
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: workers is out there on the front lines. But people,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: and I talk to people at some companies, You're like, oh, yeah,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: we have all those resources, but I don't use them.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: Why, well, how can people donate if they need to donate?

  Speaker 1: In this suicide and crisis lifeline call.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: And so nine eight eight is a national resource. It
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: has replaced what we knew as a national suicide lifeline
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: one eight hundred two to seveny three.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 6: Talk all y'all.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 3: Gotta do now literally is pick up the phone, y'all
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: and down nine eight eight. You'll be connected to a
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: trained crisis counselor that answer the phone, talk to you,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 3: try to understand what you're going through, and push you
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: to resources. And if the local crisis counseling center is
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: not available in your state, guess what, it automatically pushes
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: you to a national number.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 24: It worked for me.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: I called the National Suicide Lifeline the night that I
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: was in crisis, and it helped me.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 24: They talked to me for twenty minutes and talked me off.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 6: I always wonder if it actually help.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: I actually sat in my car and talked to them,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm they saved my life that night, and my
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: sister and my pastor who happens to be centered to warnock.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: It helps, y'all, it works. Don't be afraid to get help.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm getting emotions, but ten years
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 3: of fighting this good fight, I did not almost take
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: my own life and start this to end the work
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: that we're doing. I don't want anybody else to think
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: that suicide is an option. You know, the former lieutenant
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 3: governor of Maryland who took his own life and his
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: wife's like wife's life. I just my heart goes out
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: to the kids, to everybody that's going through anything, y'all.

  Speaker 24: Help is available.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you're ten or seventy or fifty.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: Where's the camera. I just want to look straight into
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: camp and tell people it's okay to get help.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 24: Silence to shame around your emotions, y'all.

  Speaker 3: It's people out here hurting high achievers, hurting students, hurting
• 1:41:09
