  Speaker 1: What's up, my fellow earthlings. It is La La mother
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: effing kent with brand another week, another week, and I
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: watched the news and it sends me into a hole
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: because I hear one week like, oh bars are opening.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, young people aren't taking COVID seriously. So we're
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: back in the red duck for cover.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Well, what's crazy is? I mean, you just knew eventually
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that the congregating of mass amounts of people at bars
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and beaches, eventually with no distancing, was going to create
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a problem. Now Florida had a spike, a single day spike,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I think, and I know you don't like numbers law,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: but I think I think it was like tim how
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: about eight thousand? It was crazy, single day not good,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: not good good. And so now our governor has shut
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: down all bars, and our mayors shut down Our mayor
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and governor shut down all bars in Los Angeles again.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing, And I'm gonna be really transparent here.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I really don't give a shit about the bars. What
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I give a ship is that I feel bad for
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the business owners of these bars. Like that's what breaks
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: my heart. It's not that I care that we can't
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: go to a bar and have a drink, because you
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: know what, I could sit in my house and have
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a cocktail. What pisses me off and what sucks is
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that these people are struggling in their small you know, businesses.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And I know that we've all struggled, but but here
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you the bars just got a chance to reopen and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: now they're closed. So this is you know, I'm making
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: light of it, but it's not funny. It's it's catastrophic.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I just want to say this. I have a couple
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: of friends that own small business bars, very very in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: different parts of the country, and they were just figuring
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: out how to open and pay the bills just with
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the limited seating they could have, and now some of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: them are getting shut down again. So I just don't know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I know it only ends when there's a vaccine. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: know it only ends when we bend the curve completely.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But I just my heart bleeds for these small business
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: owners because I just don't know how they're going to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they get more loans. You know, well, the Lakers
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: don't take the loans from the small businesses.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Like right, I qualified for this and I'm a complete
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: dud when it comes to all of this. So it's like,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's like I read, you know, a pandemic and what
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: happens to the economy for dummies. That's where I'm coming from.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But I qualified for that, laking No, it's what I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: should write. I qualified that, like the book.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: No, shut up?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Can I please get a thought out for five seconds?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Sure? Did your wife talk to you this one?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: We don't ask him that, all right? I qualified for
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the thirty thousand dollars, all right that you get to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: pay employees. I'm my employee. So I had my conscience
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: set in and I was like, Okay, let's just say
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they only have thirty grand left to give to someone
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: who needs to pay their employees, and I choose to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: take it to pay myself. I didn't feel right about that,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so I declined, gave it to someone else.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That's the right thing to do. And I want to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: tell you something else. You know, it's sad because there
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: was a lot of abuse of the loans and there
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: are a lot of businesses out there that and Alex
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know this. There are a lot of business out
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: there that did not deserve the level of loan that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: people were taking. And it's really crazy. And I do
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: hope that the people that took it, that didn't need it,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: or abused it and took numbers they shouldn't have taken,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: are held account They apparently hopefully will be.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: There's a massive class action lawsuit against all of these
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: banks that have done that, headed up by an attorney
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: friend of mine. As a matter of fact, it is
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: going to be a huge class.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: You'd like to give him a shout out, so we.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: All Brian Poulter shout out my friend, I'd do justice
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: for us.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: All.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I think that's great. By the way, I think that's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: great because I've been wondering, like, when is that going
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to happen, because you know that eventually the fallout is
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: going to happen. And and these people that did take
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: these incredible amounts of money that did not need it,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you know, they should be held accountable. And I really
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: hope that. I know they're looking at another round of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: financing and loans, and I really hope that the people
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that did not get or did not get enough, or
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: are basically on their you know, last leg to stand
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: on with regard to their business, get that money they
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: desperately need, because we need small businesses in America. We
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: need them to survive. They are the heartbeat of our
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: country and I just hope that people get it. So
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: that's it. That's my take on that, switching gears and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: pivoting as.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I like to do it, pivoting to a brighter topic.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: This just in now, I what there's something you want
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to talk about that I thought was, Oh, oh yeah,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you wanted to you asked me before we went on.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, got that look on your face again.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Right before we came in here, you said, am I allowed?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Which is funny you asking me, are you allowed to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: talk about something? Because the chances of me having any
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: say over the last four years plus of you not
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: being allowed to talk about something that I don't want
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you to talk about is fucking laughable. So you said
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that you're on the baby making hunt right now? Did
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you want to bring get up?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Rand and I have been bumping uglies trying
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to get it pop in. I have been sexually approaching.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Let me wait, let me break down. What approaching means
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: from you is this is approaching. I'm at the office
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and at four o'clock I get a text from Lalla
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and it's like, get home. We are having sex tonight.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You are giving me a baby. I'm like, wait, where
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: did I.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Was looking at my flow app and it had the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: circle around it that I know this that indicates that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it is a high chance to get pregnant. Keep in mind,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you know, but what.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Is the flood.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Every single person? Yes, the flow app. I've heard from
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: so many people like they got pregnant just from like
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: checking their flow app and doing exactly what it tells
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: them to do.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Are you serious?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I'm being dead serious.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I have a question. Go back to the nineteen fifties,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: when there were no iPhones. Okay, there was no Internet,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: how did people produce babies?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: They just had sex?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Like jack rabbits to me, Alex, how do they do
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it if they didn't have the.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Doctors were aware of how women ovulate in the field.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly twelve to fourteen days before your next period. Okay,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm in a room full of dudes talking about
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: menstreul psych By the way.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, how do you think we feel? How
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: do you think we think feel lucky? We want to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: talk about when the NFL is coming back or when
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and what is coming back?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Hold on, on, what planet has Randall ever cared when
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL is coming back.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Well, when I'm around.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: When he's around, guys.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Defend even on sports that I don't even care about.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I'm excited for them to come back because just to
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: have sports off.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something that helps ease the mind by the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: way it brings us back to in our minds a
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: sense of normal, which will never be. But I also
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: want to say something, you know, I, I uh, I
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: don't like that statement you just made. When does Randall
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: have a good ships First of all, my.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Desk on my desk, out of all the things I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: just said, that's what he's not a fan of.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: He really cares when the Dolphins are doing well, thank you.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Which is never.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: But that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I just want to say, first of all, now I'm
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: getting upset. First of all, I have Marino's helmet and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I have tons of Dolphin memory. That's bullshit. I do
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: care about the NFL. I I love the Miami Dolphins.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I'm a diehard dial Dolphin. But I want to say,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: when they have sucked for twenty years, what do you
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: want to do you come out of the gate, they
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: lose eight games in a row, and what do you
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you give up, you quit, But I want to say this.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I have on my god, you're not their coach.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe if you're worth you would do better. I think
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: they would.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: What do we do, guys, We've lost eight games?
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: We should give up and just quit?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Fighters? Go home? Fight on
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: for two more games. I just say, screw it, let's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: get a good draft fan. I just want to say
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it is important. First of all, the Dolphins. You know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: we've been to Dolphin games together. So I didn't even
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: know why you say I'm not a diehard Dolphin because
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that's disrespectful.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I said you weren't an NFL fan.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Well, if I'm a Dolphin fan, I'm an NFL fan.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I means you're a Dolphin fan.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I'm really like, come on, this is bullshit. Second of all,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: if you look at my desk, which you just saw,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I have my confirmation of my LA Rams season tickets.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So for guys, that's not an NFL fan. I go
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to root on two teams. So I've had enough for
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: this bullshit.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You know you're trying to demasculinize me, And okay, I'm
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: not the biggest sports fan. I probably couldn't tell you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that what happens, Like when you decide to get
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: engaged and get married, you're just like handing over your
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: balls to a woman.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Well, no, you took him like the first week on
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: night Alex.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Alex looks at me and frowns like, no, he doesn't
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: have a girlfriend, nor is he married and tim or married.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Shakes his head.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Look at the smile on his face.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Alex comes to work like he's just had the best
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: time ever.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because every weekend Alex having nightclub at his house.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: That's true. I hope and he to speakeasy a long
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: time ago. But don't tell the guy.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Thank god.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You guys get COVID testing once a week. I don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: think i'd come in the office. It's so funny because
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I sit here and I'm like, I don't believe it's real.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It's conspiracy. They're trying to control our minds. They no,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I've already said this a million times.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: People forgot.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: People did not forget. I get multiple DMS about it
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a day. But let me clarify. I spew a lot
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of dumb shit. You know, that's just who I am.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I should stop, I really should, And I'm learning As
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I get older, I feel like once I hit thirty
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: in a few months, it's going to be like, I'm
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: done state saying stupid shit.
• 10:31

• 10:38
  Speaker 1: my vitamins laid out, I got my mask in my car.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I saw everything like I'm scared of it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I hope you're scared of it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I am scared of it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: People are dying every day and getting sick. I know
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that you're making jokes. You are the one. Every time
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I get in the car and I forget my mask,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I say, do we have masks? And you plot your
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: purse multiple masks? So you take it very seriously. Well,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I want to you. It's put it to a vote
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: between alexis.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I treat my life episode stupid.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Shit all in favor that Lala will stop saying stupid ship.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Raise your hand if you believe she's not gonna say
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: stupid shit.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'll raise my hand to that. I probably want.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I want. I want the audience to know that nobody
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: else even casually lifted their hand. You are Lala. Can
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: whatever is on your mind comes out of your mouth.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Oh that's terrifying.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Unfiltered, and we are all the recipient of that. Okay,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Now what I want to say is this moving on.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: The final thing I want to say is tell me
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: let's go back to the babies for a second and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that sidetracked before, and then we're gonna produce her amazing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Next guest, what happens if we don't get pregnant next month?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna be fine? Or are you gonna be
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: in a spiral? What's gonna happen?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: No, because my guy No told me she was like,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in all actuality, it takes people like a year to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: get pregnant. After a year, like we start getting concerned.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: She was like, if after six months you're having difficulty
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: even like, come in and we'll check you both out.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: For me, it may be difficult. I mean, as you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: more and more women are having trouble getting pregnant and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it's very sad. I hope that that is not the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: case for me. But if it is, we'll deal with
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: that when it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Comes to That's what I'm saying. No matter what, we're
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: going to deal with whatever we get handed to us,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: which we always have. But I think that if we
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: count the hours and days that we're waiting for a pregnancy.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's not a healthy way to live. I
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: think we no.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Actually, when I asked her, I was like, so, is
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: there a position that I should be doing God to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: help this happen? And she looked at me and she
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: was like, you should just keep doing whatever feels good,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: like have fun, do not just sleep together because you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: want to have a baby.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: And I was like, no, we're not doing that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I'm a virgo, so I'm like very organized, and I'm like, today,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: we're going to have sex at this time because this
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: seems like primo ovulation.

• 13:22
  Speaker 2: with you every minute. Whether when we have a baby,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it'll be God's plan. We are going to our friggin guest.

  Speaker 2: So who our next guest is.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Our next guest is a very dear friend of mine.

  Speaker 1: I've known her four years. She goes by the name
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of DJ Duffy. You guys may know her from Basketball wives,

• 14:00
  Speaker 2: serious guests we had on that one week, our political,

• 14:06
  Speaker 2: it because neither one ever said how to guess like this.

  Speaker 2: DJ Duffy only as your close friend, as somebody that
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you look up to, somebody that you have collaborated with
• 14:19

  Speaker 1: She she produced my song Boy, which went to number
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: one on iTunes for EDM, so she's extremely talented.
• 14:27

• 14:29
  Speaker 2: had a conversation with her and I really don't know
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: much about her. So I am coming from a place
• 14:34

  Speaker 5: High school sweetheart at fifteen. Okay, you know, I played
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Division one college basketball. I went to college and then
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: we got married right after.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah right at college? What college? What college?
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: I went to the University of Texas at Arlington. It's
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: a Division one, smaller Division one. We wasn't in Texas
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Tech or anything.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: D one basketball.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: D one basketball.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Oh you're a badass, okay, star setting the stage for me.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Keep it coming, keeping coming.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: So I was a communication technology major there. So I
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: graduated with my degree. I married my high school sweetheart.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: We lasted we were together since I was fifteen. We
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: lasted five months married.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: What crazy?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I love this?
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: It was crazy.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: So, you know, he went to the NFL, and I
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: guess I really didn't fit in his life anymore, and which.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Was okay, because as you see, it all worked out.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: But I think it did. Okay, I think it did
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: just fine.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Right, So I'm sitting at home and I'm like, Okay,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: my whole life. I had planned out since fifteen to
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: be this NFL wife, and that quickly changed for me,
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: and I was looking at my one year old and
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I was very unhappy working at Enterprise car Rental. I'm like,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: I went to college and got this degree and I'm
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: renting out cars. And I was very just unhappy where
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: where my life had ended up. And I wasn't gonna
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: let what happened to me determine my future to be
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: something unhappy and negative. I decided that day that I
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: was going to figure out what it was that made
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: me happy in life and just do it because I
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: kept hearing this thing, find what you love and find
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: a passion in life and do it. And it sounds
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: so simple, but a lot of people are scared to
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: They did grow up thinking they know, you have to
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: have you have a nine to five and you have to.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: You know, live in this this straight life, but they
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: don't follow their dreams. And that's one thing that is
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: like a passion of mine is for single moms out.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: There, if you have a dream, follow it.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Don't let because you know you have a child, or
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: because life didn't turn out the way you want to
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: stop you from pursuing and living your dream. And so
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: that day I bought equipment on Craigslist and I started
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: this dream of DJ and I taught myself from YouTube.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, DJ, Wow, way Dove. Had you known
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that you were like into music and wanted to be
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a DJ?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Like that made you liked music?
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: But I didn't know that I had a passion for
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: actually being in the music industry until I had friends
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: like Drake and French Montana who were earlier on in
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: their careers. They weren't who they were now, but they
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: were people who I knew that I was a fan
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: of their music. And I would go to the studio
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: and then there would be girls there, and then there
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: were girls that were sitting there on their.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Phone, putting on live lass, being cute, maybe having some drinks.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: And then this is me.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I'm standing on the board behind the engineer trying to
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: learn his job.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Wow, that I don't like that hook he just did.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: He needs to redo it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, so you had you have you you are?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: You had that musical ability like nature within you. Now,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: now here's my question, because I literally cannot carry it
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: to in a row row row your vote. So here's
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: my question because obviously I I, you know, being in
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the movie business, I know a lot of musical you know, talents,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you know, and all that. I am amazed at the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: DJ whole explosion. How does it work? Like, what's a
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: typical night when you perform? How does it work?
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: How do you know what to play?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Not?
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Is there is there a like a method to the
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: madness of being as successful as you are?
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, so I tell people that I never know what
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I'm going to play until I'm there. Besides my my
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: set with French Montana, which is normally a set you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: sixty minutes worth of me music that I'm that we
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: play all the time.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I know what that is.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: But I do a set before he comes out, or
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: when I do my own DJ gigs, I do two
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: hours of music on my own and I never know
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: what it is because I like to fill out the room,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: and like a lot of DJs, sometimes I get in
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: situations where I.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Get booked and I don't know what that crowd is
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: gonna be, Like, oh that I never know.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you adapt, you can adapt like you you
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: have to adapt, Like if I if I if I book,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: if I book, you in Miami, right, and I'm just
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: like live right, like right, you're gonna play. You're gonna
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: go in with the intention playing one kind of thing.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But if you show up and the crowd is different
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: than what you thought, you can adapt on the spot exactly.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: And that's what that's what makes you a good DJ.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: Because you don't have the ability to adapt in that
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: room full of people, you're gonna lose.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: The crowd and and mess up the whole night. The
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: DJ really sets the tone of the whole night. You
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: really have to adjust.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: There's been times that I thought that the crowd was
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: gonna go want one thing, and I play a couple
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: of songs and I'm not seeing.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Them move, right.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: I gotta I gotta switch this up asap because these
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: people are paying me a lot of money.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: So so you really do as a DJ. And obviously
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: it sounds like an idiot question from my point, but
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: so you really can read the room, like you could
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: see when people are really rocking to that music, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you could also say when they're just not hearing you,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: and then you.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, wow, there's a test.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: There's a test where as DJs will cut the volume
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: of the music and if I cut the volume and
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: I don't hear y'all screaming the words and then screaming
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: the words. It's just not it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Because if you think about it, when you go out,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the music sets the tone for your night, Like Duff,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: when I go out, if they're playing like this house music,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: whether I'm drunk or sober, like, I know, like this
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: ain't the spot for me. The music, you know, the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: music is everything. So her ability to read the room.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I've seen her DJ many times.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And see this is why I respect.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: This is why Diplo is one of my favorite DJs,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: and I respect him so much because I remember hearing
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: him the first time in Vegas, and what I liked
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: about Diplo is he could play from ed M to
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: the very very new hip hop that he I wouldn't
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: even think of DJ like him would know and he
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: would blend these music.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: He would blend pop.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: With reggae, with the new electronic and hip hop all
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: in one set, and he does it seamlessly. And he's
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: really a DJ that I aspire to one day be
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: like because the way he can he can move through
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: the different genres without Michiga beat is why he's a
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: big DJ that DJ's in all over the world, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: DJs and in Vegas has residencies. He has earned that,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: right y, he can keep up a mixture of people happy.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Even in some of it's forty nine years old. Now,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: you know when I go out because I have a
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: lot of friends, you know that own nightclubs in different places.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I think that's a well, a really good point because
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: like I don't notice it now until you're talking about
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: it and I'm processing it. But you're right, Like I
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: go to some clubs and it's just one formount of music,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, this is not for me. But when
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I go somewhere where they mix it up so it
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: hits on things I like, right, and then everybody gets
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: what they want. I think that obviously, that's kind of
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: what you've learned.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I think with Duff Duff, you're you definitely have kept
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the integrity of being a DJ, because a lot of
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: people out here they're like, oh, I just throw music
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: together and transition it into a new song. It's basically
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: like pushing play on an iPod. Like you really you
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: got your discs set up. I've seen videos on your
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Instagram like you and body and la la.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: I had to when I first started DJing because of
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: my look in my image and that I like to
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: be to dance on the DJ booth, and I had
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: a curvy body and I was really pretty. No one
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: wanted to take me serious. No one really thought that
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: I actually was going to take my career to where
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I am now. I had a lot of people say
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: a lot of negative things about me when I first
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: started DJing, and I really had to like earn people's respects.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: They probably looked at you like you should just be
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: shaking your ass in music videos like a video vixen.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like, this is a gimmick.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Basically, she's gonna get up here and she's not gonna
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: be able to DJ. But I've had times like where
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: I dj' and in Vegas and other big clubs where
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: there was like this older, you know, older maybe forty
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: year old DJ that have been DJing for twenty years.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: He looks at me and looks like, ha, she's about
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: to mess the night up.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: And in the middle of my set, they always go, wow,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: you impressed me.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Wow, Like they always get excited.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, I have a question, So what is the biggest
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: audience you've ever DJ'ed for that you were freaking out,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: because I freak out over two hundred people, what's the biggest.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: So French is from Morocco and French has never well
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: hadn't at this point, had never performed in Morocco. It
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: was his first time going back to Morocco from when
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: he left as a child. So performed in front of
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: literally all of Morocco. I could not see no literally,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I couldn't even tell you how many people were there
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: because it was free and you could not see passed.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: You could not the sea of people. I could not
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: see passed. And it was powerful because French had then
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: seen his dad for the first time since sleeping as
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: a child, and.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Not only that, the king. You had to meet the king.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Before performing on stage, and I was like the king,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: it was crazy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: And then might I add the first song?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: The audio was messed up and I literally thought that
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: I was going to pass out because Frind turned and
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: gave me this look and I was like, French, I
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: don't know, it's not me and I'm looking at all
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: these people and the King's family is in the front.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Is that I would pass up my legs.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Felt like I was scared. I thought like I ruined,
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: were turned.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Would I would lose it? I would. I could not
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: handle this.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Wait, does be honest when when you fixed it? Of
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: course you did. But yeah, okay, so I know how
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you perform when you're on stage. You're It's the craziest
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: thing because stuff is not just someone who like sits
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: behind the DJ booth like she is entertaining. French brings
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: her out. She's very good at shaking that ass as
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: she should. It's really good. Like do you do that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: when the king is sitting there? Like what is the vibe?
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: You didn't do it in Morocco only because it's a very.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: It in Morocco. I didn't do it in Saudi.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Arabia places you those are the conservative places I respected.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: What I did do is I jumped up and I
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: jumped high up in the air.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: And raised my hand in the air, just like you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: regular right right.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: But I was because she has the background of basketball,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: so she he's jumping away up there.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: He told me in Moroccan Saudi Arabia that if I
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: got up there dance the way I do duringfort To
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: said that they didn't know if I would get arrested.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, good choice, good choice automatically just jump in the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: air like you're dancing with good.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Choice on the back down. I have a question and
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: you might have answered it, but what what is the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: worst uh moment you ever had DJing? Was it that
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: when the tape went bad or whatever the music sound
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: went bad? Or was it or is there something else
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: that you could just tell me was like the most
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: embarrassing or just worst night of DJing where you're like,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: in the beginning of your career, you were like, what
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: am I doing? Or this just something memorable that that
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: an up and coming DJ is going to probably experience
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: in their in their younger career.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: The only like, first of all, I love my job
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: at everything I do, even when there's hiccups, Like it's
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: just amazing.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: I really don't even call it a job.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: But I can remember one time when I was DJing
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: for a rapper named Currency. He had I love Currency,
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Love Currency, great person, amazing person to have be my
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: first experience of DJing for artists. He had a rapper
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: called Gunplay that was there at the venue where he
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: was performing, and Gunplay comes up to me. He was like, Hey,
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: I'm going to perform this song, load it up.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: And I didn't really know Gunplay or his.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Music, Like, no, I'm trying to download the song and

  Speaker 5: the song is not downloading, and he grabs the mic
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: and goes out there and everybody's like, oh, it's don't play,
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: and everybody said it, and I told her. I was like,

• 28:36
  Speaker 5: your songs. I didn't have any of the man.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Mike, okay, this would be I would what are you doing.

  Speaker 1: you do?
• 28:48

  Speaker 3: I didn't know.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: I'm like, dude, I don't even know who you are
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: and you just come up to me in the middle
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: of my set and just tell me to play your music.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Like the only other time I had that happened with
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Currency was when Lil Wayne walked up and told me
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: that he wanted to perform a song I had his music.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, was a good thing.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, I'll say, yeah, I'm going to send you
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: my music ahead of time, so if I ever jump
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: on your stage, you got it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I want to take a short break
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and when we get back, I'm gonna pick Duffy's brain
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: a little more. We'll be back. We are back with
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: one of my most favorite human beings and I'm lucky
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: enough to call her a friend. It's DJ Duffy, Hi baby.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: So we talked about how your first experience djying was
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: with Currency. He gave you the opportunity to DJ for him.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: When did I did it shift? And you just were
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: suddenly djaying with a little someone named French Montana. It's
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: like so crazy to say that, like, that's my friend
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: on stage with French fucking Montana.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Well, it's very interesting, and this could go out to
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: anyone out there aspiring to be a DJ, or really
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: anybody aspiring to be anything. Is you never know who
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: you're meeting and what they could bring later in your life.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: And a little interesting backstory about me and French. I
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: had met French ten years before ever being his DJ,
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: and I met him with some friends and he performed
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: at a club and nobody clapped and nobody really cared.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: But I heard potential in his music and I became
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: a super fan of his. So anytime he was in
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Texas within three hours away from me, I would drive.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: I would support my friend. I would support my friend's music.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: And so when I had the desire to want to
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: learn how to DJ, he was actually one of the
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: first people I told.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: He had a song called pop d at the.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Time that had blew up, and I told him I
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: was learning how to d J, teaching myself how to DJ,
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: and I had aspired her one day maybe wanted to
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: be his DJ in my head. I never said it
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: out loud, but I thought it wouldn't It wouldn't happen
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: because he was huge and I was just starting out DJ.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: But I knew that like I would hope to one
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: day to be able to be good enough to be
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: his DJ. Fast forward to I had just finished Basketball
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Wives La, I'm on television at the time, and I'm
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: walking down Rodeo Drive and spending that new money I made,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: and and French caused me and says, hey, I have
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: this big song, Unforgettable.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I'm about to go on tour for a.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: Month in Europe, and Africa and I want you to
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: come on and be my DJ. Oh yeah, he was
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: like you believed in me from the beginning. I see
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: you're blowing up, You're doing good. I need I want
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: a new DJ. I want something new, a new element.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: And and literally in three days I was headed to
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: South Africa.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: It really was a whirlwind for I feel like your
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: career has been a whirlwind. Like you were killing it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: You were working alongside Ambarrose for a minute, and then
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: all of the sudden you just got crazy busy traveling
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: with French yep and you you had known him ten
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: years prior. I feel like there's a lot of artists
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: like the Drakes and French Montanas that you knew before
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: their career.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Knew I knew Drake before his first album.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And how did It's so crazy right it was Drake.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I just like I didn't Drake before. It's like, uh,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, how much as cool as it gets, it
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: really is. I mean, this is like one of the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: greatest artists that will go down in history.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: It's amazing to just be able to know him, out
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: to him, to be a friend of his, to eat.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: His daily because you're you're collaborating with something, but by
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: the way, I just want and I could only equate
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: it on the movie side. But people will say to
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: me similar like that, oh my god, you're working with
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: this amazing actor or this director, and I will tell
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: you it. For me at least is it elevates me
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: as a human and as an artist. How is it
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: for you when you work with somebody that you know,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: you look up to, or you respect so much on
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: this level?
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, well, people like French and Drake I've known
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: since you know, I was like twenty, and I've seen
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: their whole career, and so it's.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Just like they feel like family.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, you know, the special moments for
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: me is when when they ask me my advice and
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: what do I think about their body of work before
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: it's happen, you know, I feel, Yeah, I feel like
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: as a female it's kind of already hard to get
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: respect in this industry, and so for them to respect
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: my ear and to really value my opinion and what
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: songs I think or will be singles of theirs or like,
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: for instance, Lockjaw. The first time French played me Lockjaw,
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: he didn't he didn't have the song finished, and he
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: told me he wasn't gonna put it on the project,
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: and I argued with him so much to where I
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: followed him out of the studio and I told him
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: that he would be stupid if he didn't put.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: That song on his mixtape.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Wow, And it was the only song to chart on
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: his whole big sape.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: It was the only song yeah when I had that
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: in common with with French, Montana my my song boy
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: was the only one to chart that hand in.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Another crazy story Unforgettable when when French first got the
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: song unforgettable like it was kind of already done by
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: another artist, the Hook, and French played this for me
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: in a hotel room. He was having a party and
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: at the time I was not his DJ. He he
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: took me to the side. He said, Duffy, listens to
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: this song. He was like, this artist wants me to
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: pay them three hundred thousand dollars for this song. He
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: was like, do you think it's worth it. I listened
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: to the song and I said absolutely. And that has
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: been his biggest song of his entire career, had made
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: him ran.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: The three D right the pocket change. I'm sure compared
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to what he's made that song is I think, yes, yeah,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: so duff. How do you, being someone who you know
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: is on the road a lot of the time, how
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: do you juggle being a mama and your career? Because
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of women they they don't think that they
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: can do both. And I feel like you're the living
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: proof that you can.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, hell, yes you can.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: For any woman out there listening that if you think,
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: because you know you're a mom, that you're not capable,
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: I say you're You're capable because you are a mom.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: There's some of the strongest women in the world are mothers.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: You can literally do anything. If you can bring a
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: life into this world, then you can juggle a career.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I agree with that. To what what you
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: women have to go through to carry a child for
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: ten months and then deliver the child and then raise
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the child to be a mom? Yes you know?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Don't you only carry a baby for nine ten?
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Ten total?
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: With uh yeah, nine months?
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I thought it was ten. Isn't a ten total? I
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: thought it's ten total.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Like between the time of conceiving in the third.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Time from it's from the act of getting Okay, I
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: know it's nine months. We always say nine months, but
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I think the actual time is step. But we're not
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: gonna get into that right next. We're we're praising, We're
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: praising mothers have to have.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I'm not going to argue with
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: any woman on this on this on this podcast right now,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: because I'm definitely gonna lose. So but I agree with
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: you Duffy that that that if you know any woman,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: that that any woman period, but any woman that's a mother.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: You know what you have to go through as a minor. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: As a student athlete, I had to always juggle.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: I had to juggle my school with my basketball and
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: then with my with my personal life. I've had to
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: always juggle. And so you know, women out there, you
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: can do anything, you can be anything. And when it
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: comes to like with my son, it's like I go,
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: I go to work, I travel most of the time.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: I'm you know, working on the weekends.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: During the weekday, I'm taking him to school, I'm taking
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: them a practice, I'm picking him up from school. We're
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: spending quality time together. But really what I'm doing is
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: showing my son that his mom did something great. I'm
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: just being a great example of I had a dream
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: and I did it and I did it big and
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: do whatever you want to do big.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I have a question side note question. If you and
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I Okay, now, I'm I'm like five ten at best. Okay,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I'm a good thing. If you and I go one
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: on one on the court, do I have any chance?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I never played back?
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Oh you have no chance? Wow, still got it?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: What if okay, what if we played with ten and
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: you give me like a seven point advantage.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: She's still kicking your chance.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I got you already. I'm doing this. I'm doing it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: I want to get to schooled by not only a
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: badass DJ, but a bad ass BacT.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: But I'm down. I love this. Oh my god, I
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: don't turn down a basketball.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, I love it. Okay, the next time, the
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: next time you're in l A, you gotta come play me.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: You gotta complain, let's go.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: My god, this is amazing. I cannot wait to watch
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: kick your ass.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get a point. I'll probably not
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: get a point, but.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: You know what, it's so balling. Oh you think you're
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: a competitor.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: My mom when I was in middle school used to
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: like put me in the hospital from playing her one
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: on one holy ship.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: From a line of athletes.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Dude.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Her mom played basketball, her brother's.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Athlete family has played collegiate level.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Holy I want to tell you something though, be nervous stuff,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: because I am a high level pickle ball player now
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: and I am coming for you.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Randall. I'm so confident in myself. I feel
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: like I could beat any man at any sport.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna go hide. Fuck this my challenge. I
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: am not playing you. I've decided there's no because you
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: are owning this way too much. No, Okay, I have
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I have a running out of time. I have some rumor,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: has it that you are now transitioning of juggling both
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: being a high level DJ but also managing artists. Tell
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: me what that's like running the business part for other people,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: not just you know, your own career.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so right now, right now, I've been managing artists
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: for about a year now, and I'm still in the
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: learning process. I'm learning about contracts, I'm learning about like
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: what it really takes to be an artist. I'm really
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: trying to figure out what makes artists pop. You know
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying, What are those formulas that are making
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: artists stand out, and so I have. I just got
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: out of the studio with a fourteen year old kid
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: from Fort Worth, Texas that has so much potential and
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: he's so good that I might have already landed him
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: a deal before his mix safe has.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Even come out.
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: Wow and yeah, And so this whole process of using
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: all of these connections that are made over the last
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: you know, ten years, from just being a fan of
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: music to them becoming a DJ. Now I get to
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: use all of these artists and all of these A
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: and r's and all of these producers. I get to
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: use them to help out kids from from my city
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: and my community that would never have the ability to meet.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: These people, never have the ability to start this career.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Like this kid, this kid from from Fort Worth, he
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: didn't even know how to upload his music. He's just
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: been putting songs on iTunes and something as simple as
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: teaching to distribute his own music.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: He didn't know. You know, Yeah, that's amazing joy out
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: of just helping them, you know, learn.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: But you're also taking people that might never get that
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: opportunity because you're so dialed in.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Those are the people that I'm looking for. I'm looking
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: for people with.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Real talent who who come from areas that would have
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: never made it. They don't have the finances to get
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: a real video, they don't have the ability to they
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: might not even have a computer to go upload their music.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Right, I'm looking for those people who really really need
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: my help.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: And here's a crazy thing. It's I mean not crazy,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: but it's like you find somebody who has no access
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and doesn't believe or doesn't have the faith in themselves.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: They meet you and all of a sudden, they have
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Drake listening to their stuff.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: They have this person so unlimited access.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you're a better candidate any day of
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the week being a manager and a producer of these people.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: You know, of these people of different people that don't
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: have the resources. You're going to get them out there
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: and you're going to really believe in them and put
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: your heart and soul into it like you did for yourself.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: And I think these people are lucky to have somebody.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dud Duffy's a dream maker and she she instills
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: confidence in people that otherwise really wouldn't have it right.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Which is amazing, which is what which is in the
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: world that we're living in today. I think we need
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: more of this, and I think that more people are
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: going to get to shine in the world. You know,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: when people like you, Duffy give them a break. So
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: that's pretty, that's.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Pretty, duff I'm so grateful that you came on the
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: podcast today, Sharon, You dude.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Always we have to see each other next time I
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: come to l A.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I would love it. I would love that so much.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Or or I'll have friends shipped me out to Texas.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: No, no, no ship.
