• 7:39
  Speaker 1: get it off your chests eight hundred five eight five
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: one oh five one. If you need to vent, you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: can highlight us lot lies here to breakfast club. Good
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: morning the breakfast club. And you know, it didn't work
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: out the way I had planned, but it's not something
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I will want to do again. But I did it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm telling about people who are saying they have
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: no interest in ever doing it, wanting to do it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: It's not like a goal of people. And even people
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that are in relationships, a lot of them are not
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: saying like the goal for our relationship is to get married.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It's like the goal is to be together, have a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: dope relationship, you know, and be companions forever. But people
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: are not feeling like the measure of success in relationships
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: is like getting married. But do you feel like not
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: getting married is the easy way out? Meaning when you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: first get married there, let's say you and Mellow or
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: me and Gil or Charlemagne and his wife. When you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: have problems, you're married, you'll have to work through it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: It's not like you can say I'm out on one.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Y'all have to work through it. You're you're married, so
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be good times bad time. But if you're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: not married and somebody gets on your nerves, you could
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: just be like, you know what, I don't want to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: deal with I'm out. So it doesn't make the relationship
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: as strong because there's nothing binding to you, because it's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: almost like I could be out when I want to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: be out right. But for a lot of people, they'll
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: say that the reason that they don't just want to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: be out is because it's a business agreement. There's paperwork
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: between the two of you. So if I get out now,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I gotta deal with flitting assets or everything like that,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: or dealing with lawyers and paperwork, and people don't want
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to do that. So it's like, is it a union
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of love and like Charlotte Magne just said, tell death
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: do us part? Or is it a piece of paper
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that's binding to people. I always say marriage is really
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: easy to get in and really hard to get out.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It's hard to get out, and people don't really understand that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: When you're dealing with lawyers and what you have to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: pay and things like that, it's really hard to get out.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I wonder if this is more of a product of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: us being disconnected because of technology and social media, Like
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: folks don't have real connections anymore, and they aren't making
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: real connections anymore, you know what I'm saying. So I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: wonder if this is just a by product of that,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: like people not being able to establish real connections anymore.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So there is no there is no goal to be married,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: but there's no goal to even make a real connection.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But it was always a goal because my parents are married,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: right and they're still married to this day, fifty sixty
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: years married, whatever it is. But for me, it's like, yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: every marriage, we have our problems, right that. You get
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: into arguments, you get into fights. It takes communication, it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: takes work. But the happiest days in my life is
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: being married. My wife comes home today and I'm excited.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I'm happy, she's happy, Like we can't wait to see
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: each other, because I get it. It's it's you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: laying next to my wife. But it's also I met
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it at fifteen. That's washing. There was nothing. I had glasses,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: embraces and act. He was a nerd than you, a nerd.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Now she loved that nerd the whole way through. Yes,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not a nerd now I get what you're saying.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I love being married. I've been bluffed to be with
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the same protaphono twenty five years. So that's my best friend.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I was able to marry my best friend. But that's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: when I go back to, we were able to establish
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a real connection in a time where you weren't dealing
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: with social media and the way people people even talking
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to each other anymore. It's it's d MS, it's it's apps,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's all these other things. But that connection of like
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: talking to someone again, that's not happening anymore. So what
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is this conversation that you guys just share
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: me about both of your marriages. I'm saying people are
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: hearing that less and less and less and marriage. Imagine
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: young people dating are saying dating is no longer priority
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: because they have better things to do. But the people
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: getting married because they're actually best friends, like they really
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: are friends or is it she looked good, he looked
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: goods taking the time to connect with someone enough to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: call them their best friend. So what a couple of goals?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Then would everybody be online and they'd be like a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: couple of goals? Who this person is a couple of goals?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: What it olds? What does that mean? They just want
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to be booed up. Well, here's the thing, Like, obviously,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Sierra is one of my best friends, and she has
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: an incredible marriage, and Russell's an incredible guy in an
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: incredible relationship. I will just say that to me, I'm
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: happy that I'm able to see that because that's not
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the norm of what I see. That's not the normal
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of what I see. So I'm happy that I'm able
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to have that example, to still have that hope that
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that kind of love and connection really does exist. But
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that's not the normal. That's good because what she's saying
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is true, because the normal what we see is the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: guy cheating and then the woman expected to always be there.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. We got to think about
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: like this. If you take care of your wife or
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: your girl and you do too much, they call your
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: sim You're a sucker, You're doing too much. You you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: but that's your queen. Aren't you supposed to take care
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of your best friend, your queen, your girl, you love
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: your I'm supposed to get flowers. Aren't supposed to do
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: with That's what my dad taught me. That's what my
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: dad did to my mom. Right, Yeah, But I'm just
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: saying again, it goes back in this day and age.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That's not how it's looked at. Last question before we
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: go to the phone line, what do you tell your
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: son about marriage? It's it's a it's an interesting and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes difficult conversation because we're all products of what we
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: saw growing up. So unfortunately, my son saw a failed marriage.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: He does still see two people that genuinely love and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: care about each other and are amazing parents to him,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and we work collectively as a unit. But he did
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: see a broken marriage. So I don't expect him to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: view marriage as this incredible thing because I saw my
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: parents not be married anymore. That's his view on it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So I have to tell him, like, that's not you.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: You can meet someone and love them and fall in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: love and want to get married and it's a beautiful thing.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: And that's like my mom, gotcha. I don't like that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: failed marriage talk. Though. I don't think that the marriage
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: failed just because two people you know, grew apart or whatever.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: You know, they don't mean to fail. Did that. We
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: did it, and we did time. I'm saying I was
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: when it when it was good, it was good, that's right. Hello,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: who's this Evan? That's a good morning. We're saying this
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: marriage still a goal, Vanessa. Marriage is feel very much
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a goal of mine. How old are you? I'm thirty six? Okay,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: all right, okay, so what you waiting? Are you dating?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: You got a man? I was looking? Um, I am
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: dating with a perfect Okay. I like that. I think
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: about me is I'm a very confident Um, I'm very tall,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: but I'm beautiful, so like, my standards are high. Everybody
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: says sometimes I need to lower my standards. I refused it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: At anybody short, that's disrespectful, disrespect My assistant is six three,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and I tell her the same thing. I'm like, you're
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: not gonna find somebody taller like the it's not as
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: many people. Have you seen your assistant bangs me sades
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: very pretty girl. Somebody needs to draw them bangs back
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: like blind. But the thing about it is, it's like
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I have friends and like friends who are married, friends
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: who are single, and we all talk um and I've
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: really listened to my married friends about like their marriage
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Sometimes it does turn me off
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: when I hear things about men cheating, women cheating, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, what is the purpose. But then I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: feel like, very very hopeful that you know. I don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: think every like Charlie Mayne say all men, all black
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: men don't cheat. I don't think all black men do cheat.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But I do think at some point in time men
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: have cheated. At one point time. They're live Queen God,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: God is telling me to tell you this right now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I just got this dollar. Boyd, your blessing is five

• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I tell my sister at the same time, and let
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Do people do this here
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: all the time? They come up to you and act
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: like they're playing basketball? Post you up, Yes, I do
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: play basketball. I'm not telling a man like I played basketball.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I I could you on the court,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't want to do that. You
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: do do you know that doing? Do you know Jesus
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: probably with five five because the average height of men
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: around that time with five foot five. Scholars have said this,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: y'all are missing y'all blessings not dating short men. I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: agree with you, okay, I agree with you. Five eight

  Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. We got our special guest
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: hosts Lala joining us today and she was talking about
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: marriage and we're asking is marriage still a goal? And
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Lie for herself said no, you don't want to get
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: married because I've done it already. I've done it already.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I've checked it off the list. I've done already. It
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: was good. While it was good, it ultimately you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: didn't work out, and I don't need to revisit that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It's like I told that last Call of Law, you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: might need to just try again with shorter men. You
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? If my blessing comes in size
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: five five. Hello, who's this? What's up from Jersey? What's up?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Bron talk to us? Whats going on? It's lala, good morning.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Are you doing well? Marriage got sixty months ago. I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: love it. I wouldn't have changed nothing ever, Like it's
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: just a beautiful thing to get married. Nice. My wife's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: for years and we finally got to not and it's beautiful. Man.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: But you gotta want to be married. You gotta want
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to put it in the work. You know, this, this
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: is a work. This is another job. You have to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: want to do it. You know, if you don't want
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to do it, you know, most people stay single or
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: or Instagram. You know, Hello, who's this? This is Ebony?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: From whom? He even Connecticut? How are you guys? La?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: La hey? Um. I personally feel like it has to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: do everything with music and who people are listening to now.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of the music out now is portraying a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: lot of no love. Uh, get a whole bunch of holes. Um,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: it's it's just a whole lot of talk about no love,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: even though people are actually looking for love. Like, nobody
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: wants to be alone. Everybody wants to have somebody, but
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: everyone's going to get numerous that people just one and settling,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: but but does not wanting to be alone me and
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you have to be married. You can get a dog.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's true, you can. But what I'm saying
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is that the view of music now is what is
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: making people feel like they don't want to go and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: actually find love, fall in love, and then allow themselves
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to settle down. But I also would say this, you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: growing up, how old are you so? Growing up, you
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: heard music the same way. You know, you could go
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: back to jay Z, whether it was Big Pimping a Girls,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Girls Girls, or some of those other songs that we
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: grew up to as well, was kind of the same thing.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: R and B has changed a lot, but we grew
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: up to songs like that as well. That's true, that
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: is true. But I think it's a lot like the music.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Videos are just a little bit more graphical now, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I guess people are able to express themselves a lot more.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I think there was more
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: of a balance back then. It was of a little
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: bit of both. Now it's it's not so much of that.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I agree. Even in R and B. Hello, who's this? Hi?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: This is Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, what are you calling from Jersey? Okay,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: talk to us. I definitely believe that marriage in the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: sense that we have been indoctrinated to believe in, might
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: be played out not necessarily a goal. I think you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: have to understand what people you married as, because a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people don't think that it takes standing in
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: front of a judge, a preacher, or signing paper that
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you pay the state bore to be married. Marriage is
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: largely about commitment, because honestly, if it takes a piece
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of paper for you to be faithful to me, I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: don't know if I want you anyway. You don't need
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a ring to be my wife, won't I say? Yeah? Y'all?
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Even for the Bible thumpers, if you mook at in
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the Bible and the Old Testament, all it took for
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: marriage was sex and a commitment. Well that's what the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: commitment was, what made the difference between your wife and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: your concubine. You're right, but you know the problem the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Bible dumpling somebody putting there that you can't have sex
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: before marriage, so a lot of people started getting married.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody put in there that you can
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: have sex before marriage. People really got to read their Bible,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: because that's not in the Bible. That's the thing that
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: man has begun to about because six is the marriage. Actually,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: so all of this about shafting, all of this about
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: fornication if you really understand the transmitteration of the word fornication,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: if you are a real Hebrew Greek scholar and you
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: go and look into the meaning of these words, fornication
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: is not about sex. Fornication is idolatry, idolizing other gods.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: So you telling me that everybody that we've had sex
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: with we've been married, though, no, not if you didn't
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: make a commitment to be with that person. Remember, there
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: is a clear delineation you have to make that commitment.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: You have to decide, because honestly, marriage is a contract
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: between people. But whether that requires a signature from somebody
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: at the state and a license where you're literally paid
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to be committed to someone, I think that's really the question. Yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I say our point on that part. Yeah, I com
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: on that part. That's why the new the Lebron James
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: version of the Bible said I don't let them holstcase.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: You got very clear about not being committed to people
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: most of the story. What's the moral of the storyline.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: The moral of the story to me is that times
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: have definitely changed. It actually saddens me a little bit
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: that that's not the goal anymore for a lot of people.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But we're living in a new day and age, a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: new way of meeting people, a new way of socializing,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a new way of communicating with each other. And I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: do feel like you can have an amazing commitment with
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: somebody without necessarily that piece of paper that binds you
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to that. But you did catch the bouquet at the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: last weather you were at, So she catched the bouquet
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: everywhere a lot of wide receiver the right at my face.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I can do. It's going right towards me. Well, if
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: you decide to do it again, lot, there's no short
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: men better husbands. These are statistical facts. Okay, you can
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: google it, all right. We make up and with them
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: what we lack in stature. Short guys make better partners, okay.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And if you marry one, your relationship is more likely
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to last. And you can carry on your back if
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you need to walk around. Fact, I'm not even making
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: this up due to research. It seems short of men
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: make more faithful partners. A survey done by Ashley Madison,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: which is the dating site for married people. Yes, it
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: says taller men are twice more likely to cheat than
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the ones whose height is left than five peet ten inches.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Your blessing, ladies, is five foot six all right? Five five?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And you know what else you think about when you're tall.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: When you're tall, you see everything correct when you shomen goodness,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I can don't see my eye. I can't believe there's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a stat get you a short man, ladies? All right, well,
• 22:53

  Speaker 1: damn Near slander, and cowboy fans not at it. I'm like,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: why I wouldn't say slander. I wouldn't say slander. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: was being factual, and once again I was proven to
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: be correct. I mentioned you on on on, get up
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the other morning. It's ridiculous, man, these these Dallas cowboy
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: fans and like cock roachers everywhere. I told them, I said,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: just be patient, right, they was winning games, everybody's signed.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I said, just be patient, it's coming. It's sure enough.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: When the lights got brightest, Wow, you'll be happy to
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: though I had no expectations for the playoffs, They'll tell
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you I had none, if thought even gonna lose the temple. Okay, well,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you do understand you're an anomaly in that race. I'm
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: most cowboy friends. That's what you have to do. You
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: have to do because they're gonna break your heart broke.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's what the Knicks do to me. That's
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: what the cowboy's gonna do to you. That's right. And
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: we can talk about sports on day. But you got
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a book out, a book by the way, now you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: go into your life about this book. Usually you don't
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: talk about your personal life at all. We never hear
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: about your personal so many stories that I've been hearing,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I was like, really had no idea, So why do
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: you decide to talk to go so in depth about
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: your personal Well, first of all, the seat that I
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: sit in every day doing first take on the ESPN.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You know, I pride myself and my character assassinated people.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I talk about what you do, know what your perspective is,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. And I got to give both
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: of y'all props, actually all three of y'all props, because
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: all of y'all have been authors, and the fact that
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the matter is the kind of line light that y'all
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: have been in the seat that y'all sit in. When
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: you start writing about something you know, you you ultimately
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: feel an obligation to let people know who you are,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: what you're all about, what your perspectives are. And so
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: to me to see people do that, I knew that
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it was. If I was going to write a book,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: there was only one way I could go about doing it.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Ain't do some damn sports. Book has got to be
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: about me, who I am, how I think, why I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: came to be, how I am, the way that I think, execta,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: et cetera. I thought I owed that to the audience,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and the only reason I hesitated it once I got
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: left Go Let Go by Hispim two thousand and nine.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and eleven, people were coming to me
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to write a book, and I knew I wanted it
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to be about, you know, my life, et cetera, et cetera.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And my mother at the time, who had just gotten
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer, one that she lost in twenty seventeen,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: got rested soul. She said. She made me swear you
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: will never write this book while I'm alive. I understand
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: why after we reading it, because I'm sure it had
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to do with your relationship with your father, yes, which
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I felt like exactly why. Yeah, you addressed the topic
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: most men don't discuss enough, and that is our relationship
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: with our fathers. How difficult was it to explore that topic?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: It was hard. And the reason why it was hard
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: it wasn't the writing process. It was the editing process,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: which y'all all know. You know, you write it, but
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: they look at it. The editing processes. So when they're editing,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: it's calling upon you to revisit and revisit over and
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: over and over again. And I didn't wait until a
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: book was finished to like show it to my sisters.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I got four older sisters, and I didn't wait until
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the book was finished. When I wrote those specific chapters,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I sent it to them and they didn't talk to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: me for two weeks. And I thought they were originally upset.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: They weren't upset. They were just saying, we had buried
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: these memories a long time ago, And they said, and
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: you brought it back up. We don't. We ain't knocking
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: you for it. We understand, but it just hurt a
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: lot to revisit some of those experiences because we had
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: buried them for the longest time, and the details that
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you had, they couldn't believe that I remembered because I
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: reminded them, and they were like, yeah, this happened. That happened.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: No hero, Yeah, my dad he wasn't. I feel like
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the things you said about him in the book are
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the things you wanted to say about him at his funeral.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's accurate. Yeah, I told him to his face.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't say anything in a book that I didn't
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: tell him to his face, So let me be clear
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: about that. In twenty eighteen, he passed away, fourteen months
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: after my mother passed away. And when he passed away,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I caught my sister Carmen the morning of his funeral
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and I said, I'm doing the eulogy and Karma was like, God, no, Steve,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: please please, Steve, don't do this. Don't do this. She said,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: what are you gonna say? I said, you'll find out
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: when you get to the viewer. And she's like, Steve,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: don't do this. What would mommy want? What would mommy want?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: You know what mommy would say? I said, I got
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: it and I was gonna go in and I was
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: gonna literally say everything that you see in the book.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: And I called past the ARPERA something told me to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: call him. You know, I've been going to cecc I've
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: known Pastor Banar for thirty years, and so I said,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: let me call him. And I called him and told
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: him what I was feeling. And he was like, you
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: right to feel that way. I'm very familiar with your story.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: He said, You're not wrong. He said, but the Bible
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: talks about God's grace and God's mercy. And he said,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and you might want to think about that before you
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: decide to speak your truth. And when I eulogized my father,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I went up on this. I went up on the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: stage after everybody gave all the portables, all of you know,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: all all the nice things, the pleasant trees they had
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to say about him. And I walked up in. The
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: first words out of my mouth was, that's she all
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: memories of him, memories of my family. We have an
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: entirely different story. And I saw my cousin Derek kill
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: over like, oh no please. And I saw my brother
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: in Lay was like, oh lord, he's about to go in.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And I saw a neighbors that were in the audience
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that I hadn't seen in years that just showed up
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: for my dad's funeral. And they were like literally lip
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: syncre to me. Please please don't do this. And I said,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: my father was not a good man, I said. But
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: then I brought up my mother. I said, my mother
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: knows nothing about sports. I'm Steve and A I work
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: for ESPN. World knows the sports world knows who I am.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: My mother says EPs and whatever it is, I don't know.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But she didn't even know the letters, I said, But
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: she knew what a home run was, she knew what
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: a no hitter was, she knew what a stolen base was,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and she knew it because of him, because she loved
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: my father so much that she knew baseball because of him.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I said, So there evidently was something very special about
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: him to have a woman like my mother. And then
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I told about a lot of the happy moments that
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: he gave us. And then I ended it by saying,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he's still my dad
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and I love him, and I don't think I would
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: have gotten to that point if it wasn't for a
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: LB or not. Wow, what made you change your perspective
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: of how to talk about him for the book was
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: because you could add more context, because I could add
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the full context, and not only that, I owe it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: If I'm gonna write it, you know, well, then you
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: know they. I didn't know it was gonna be like
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: seventy eight to eighty thousand words, but I literally wrote
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: ninety thousand words. I wrote the book myself, and when
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: a ghostwriter, it was me. I wrote this book, I
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: did the audio, and when there was another voice, it
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: was me. And I just said, if I'm gonna do this,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: then I owe it to everybody. I mean, and you know,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: because of the business that I'm in, I imagine talking
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: to you you or you. I can see the questions,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: you know, because I'm experienced enough to know what's coming.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I know what I would ask, I know what I
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: would think about. And I wanted to make sure that
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I left no doubt as to where I stood. And
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: you know what I was trying to say, and that's
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: what I did. And I have a question. So, even
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: even though obviously you know how you felt when you
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: were writing the book, because it was your thoughts and feelings,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: was there a sense of like that therapeutic element, like
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you know, and people actually put the words on paper
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: and write it down and read it and look at it.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: A lot of authors say like it's a form of therapy.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: It's like I finally got it out my head on
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the paper. Possibly, So I'm I'm not I'm not saying
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that I didn't feel that way, but there was a
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: bigger emotion coming from it, Lalla. When you know, when
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: my mother passed away, to see her in the grave
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: before him, and to see her deprived, she was seventy
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: six years old. My mother was at a point where
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: let her go on a couple of cruises a year,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and she's in heaven. What was unforgivable to me was
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: not paying any bills, allowing her to work the hours
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: you were supposed to be working, to have the obligations
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you were supposed to have supposed to take off. And
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: said you had a conversation with him, when you had
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the conversation before he died, what was his reasoning, Well,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: this was years earlier. I would tell you about five
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: years earlier. We were in my dining room. Were in
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: my mother's dining room. He's in there and his older brother,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: my uncle Freddie, was sitting next to him, and my
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: father was like, you don't know what the hell you're
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: talking about. You don't realize what I've done for you.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I said, you haven't done anything for me, you know.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: He started arguing with me, and my uncle Freddie looked
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: at him and he said, by Soul that was his
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: middle name, by Soul, And he said, shut the up.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: He said, this is Stephen. He's a journalist for a living.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: You know, he knows what you what you haven't have
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: not done? Chapter in verse you have no shot. Just
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: be quiet. And my father just sat back and just
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: took it, and I just I just left it alone
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: from there, all right? We got moreways, Steven A. Smith
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: when we come back, do more of it. Was the
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Everybody is dj V Charlemagne the guy. We
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest hosts La
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: La joining us. Now we have Stephen A Smith in
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the building. Charlemagne. Just Skip ever get in trouble for anything,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: he said on first take, because you talk about the times,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: can you talk about the time that you got in
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: trouble off for us? Think? And I'm like, well, Skip
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: had crazy opinions too, and the opinions you had weren't
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: necessarily like I never recalled Skip getting in trouble wow
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: ever in terms of a suspension or anything like that.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: When I got suspended, I was furious. I did not
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: believe I deserved it. I was pissed off to the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: highest degree because I just thought that, you know, it
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: was made into something that it wasn't. And so for me,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: whatever my opinions are, I don't mind anybody coming at
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: me about that. This is what we feel about what
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: you said. It's when they try to branch it out
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: and turn it into something that it was not. That's
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: what pisses me off, because what happens is when you
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: have Disney Disney. And I'm not knocking Disney for this
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: at all. Listen, man, we got stockholders, got shareholders, You
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: got people to a piece, and so you got to
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: pay attention to everybody. You ain't after black white and
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: hispanic appeal. You have to mass appeal. You want it all.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: And so as a result of that, you have to
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: pay attention to everything and everybody. And so when that
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: noise is made, my boss at the time felt compelled
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to respond to the noise. And when he got suspended
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours earlier, he told me I wasn't gonna
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: be suspected, and then you know, he turned around spid
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: to me. And so for me, it was I've learned
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: a lot, I'm a lot better and what I try
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: to do. And all of y'all can attest to this.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: At one time or another, We've all had private conversations.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I whispered something in y'all ear about something to watch
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: out for. I'm very very big about these are the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: mind fields. Watch out because what I'm saying is as
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: a product of corporate America, somebody that's been in corporate
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: America for over thirty years, I kind of know where
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the mind fields are, and so as a result of that,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I might see cats on the come up that I
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: think is going to be in my position or an
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: even higher position. And I'm saying, come in, let me
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: make sure I tip you off to this, watch out
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: for this, watch out for this, watch out for that,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: because I want y'all to succeed. I don't want y'all
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: to field who the hell wants to be successful alone.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Oh LJ. It shocked me too, but he did listened.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: He walked off, So I ain't coming back until my
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: man comes back on because he knew it was wrong too.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: But I was really shocked and he took that position.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I certainly didn't ask him too, And I'm appreciative of that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean I mean shot. We still disagree ninety nine
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: percent of the time, but I did appreciate the fact
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: that he took that position on my behalf. Who are
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the worst fans? Are they cowboy fans fans or the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Navy fans? Cowboy fans? Nobody's worse. Nobody's worse, but I
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: will tell you I would tell the Navy got at
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: you a little bit. First of all, let me be
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: very very clear, but I don't give a damn. I
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: want to be very very clear about that doesn't phase me,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: It really really doesn't. I'm just after you know, you
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: know me for years. I'm just built that way. Rihanna.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: If she had a problem, Dad would have bothered me,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: not her fans. I want I challenge anybody to tell
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: me one negative thing I said about that wonderful performing
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: young lady. Are you excited for this halftime show? I
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: don't want to say I'm not excited. She's fantastic. That's
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: not That's not where I'm going with this. Where you going,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: ladies and ladies and gentlemen. She's a lot of things.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: She's spectacular as Yes, and congratulations on new Mamahood. Yes,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I think there's one thing she's not. Huh, she ain't Beyonce.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: You just said, na, you say Rihanna doesn't perform as well.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Let me give you any time, Let me give you,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: let me hook up on the inside. Sherry Shepherd's Team.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I'm promote my book last Tuesday. Sherry Shepherd's Team comes
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: up to me and they said, since you're here, we
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: want a debate like format. We want to have fun
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: with it. I said, okay, bring it, no problem. I
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: didn't know what they were gonna ask, right, but let's
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: show the problem. So I'm expecting a debate, right, Rihanna's great,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: but I'm thinking you got a lot to live up
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to because there's only one Beyonce. Now you agree, fine,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: you disagree? Fine, how we get to the point why
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: he got a pit two black women? Again? Really? Well,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. I just can't be a fan both.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: But I prefer Beyonce over Rihanna. That's a crime. Now,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know that. In your book you talk
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: about learning lessons, Yes, and you have gotten in trouble
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: for that before when you pitted you should Curry against sadvantage.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: That's right. Listen first of all, this yeah, yeah, fair question,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: la la, And I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna I'm I
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't know that. Yes, yes, let me
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: explain what happened. So Steph Curry is in Game six
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals. Lebron and Kyrie are coming. They
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: won Game five after Draymond got suspriended, bow getting Egua
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Dollar got hurt. They win Game five. Game six, they
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: coming at Golden State. They down twelve with about four minutes,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: leapt and Steph Curry fouls out. Steph curR pulls out
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: his mouthpiece, tries to throw head the official. But missus
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: it's a fan by accident. Blah blah blah. I Issia
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Curry goes ballistic. What y'all may not have known was that,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: And I love i Usia Curry, I mean, and no
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: problem throwing no shade on her whatsoever. I'm just telling
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: what happened. Prior to the game, she had tweeted that
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: she was upset because they were backed up in traffic.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Now jay Z and Beyonce were coming to the game,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: but nobody knew. So the Cleveland Reader and the gunder
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: or whatever it was, right the quickest loans a reader,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: they held up the traffic. So she was mad about
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: that and was talking about how the wives and the
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: family or the players were Golden State would be inconvenience.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: She complained something else about the officiating blah blah blah,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: so crazy but stop so so. So what happened is
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: that she did that and then she went off after
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry, you know, fouled out all of that other stuff.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: What I said was, you are representing your man at
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that particular moment in time. Anything that you do, it's
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: not you, it's the wife of him. And so because
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: of that you have to guard yourself and be careful.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: But now that they've lost too straight and Lebron and
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: the Calves have been given it to them, suddenly stuff
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: is rigged. She's an adorable young lady with an incredibly
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: promising future. I wish in nothing but love, respect and happiness.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: But you can't do that. You just can't do that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm quite sure somebody got to her, which is
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: why she ultimately deleted the tween. My other point that
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I would like to make, which will be deemed somewhat controversial,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: but I don't particularly give it damn. I will present
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: in question form, rhetorical or otherwise. If that was Savannah
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Lebron's wife, what would we be saying? And I got
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: news for you. As beautiful as everybody wants to say,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Aisha Curry is and she is, Savannah is something special.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Skip comes back at me and says, oh, please, you
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: know what are you talking about blah blah blah blah,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm jumping in like, wait a minute, you will
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: get on Lebron about anything. How all of a sudden
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: this escapes you. You know what I'm saying. So that's
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: how the whole Savannah Asia thing came up, because what
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I was saying was if this with Lebron, you would
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: have found an excuse to jump on him. And we
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: all know that Savannah, it's phenomenal. So when are you
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: talking about? That's all I was saying. If La La
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: is in a public position, if you or you are
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: in a public situation in the moment and there's a
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: tension that some your spouse or your significant other could
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: potentially bring to you that could detrimental that that can
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: make a detrimental to what you're trying to accomplish. They
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: can't get in the way of that. That's all I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: was trying to say. I've been in a position. The
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: thing is that also nobody in this room has been
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: married to an NBA player before. Day in and day out,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: you're hearing about things that are going on. You're getting
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: invented to about everything. You have emotions, You act off
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: emotions sometimes, so every night you're hearing about this whatever's
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: being said, and it's just building up and you get
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: protective and then something just set you off and you
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: want to say something because you realize your spouse has
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: continuously taken the high road. I said earlier, I remember
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: a time we talked about it before you came, when
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I think I tweeted something at Skip Bayless because I
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: was like, yo, enough with the mellow slander every single
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: day and he's not saying anything, and I'm just like,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: this is enough because now it's affecting the household, it's
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: affecting the mood, it's affects so it becomes a bigger thing.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: That's like somebody got to say something. Now. Is it
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: a right time and place for those things? Of course,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: But when you care about somebody, when you're protective, and
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: when you're competitive, we're all competitors, and you act off emotion,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: you say things that might not be the right time
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the right place, but at that time you're not thinking
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: like that. That's absolutely true. And my point is is
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: that I didn't blame how Hesha Curry for anything. You know,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I was saying in that moment, you can't do that.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I've never said a word about her prior to that, right,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: and so I said that. And when I said that,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Horror Sponts was you paid two black women against each other?
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: And I was like, what how we get to that?
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: So then whether you realize it or not, okay, fine,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't look at it that way, But that's fine.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: If you're saying that I did, okay, well, then now
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I'll correct it. I find out weeks later the sports center,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: the six o'clock sports Center, that was supposed to be
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: given to me, and it was taken away from me
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: because of that. It was gonna be taken away from
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: you because in Rihanna nothing nothing, and you know something
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: and and and if it ever does, fine because at
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, there's a level of authenticity
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: that has to come with what we do. I'm gonna
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: be me, damn it. That's how I feel. All Right.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: We got Molways stephen A. Smith. When we come back,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: is TJ n V, Charlomagne the guy all the Breakfast Club.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: We got our guest hosts La La joining us. Now
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: we have Stephen A. Smith in the building, La La
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: So do you just feel like in your position, you
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: really just cannot care what anyone thinks about you. Because
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like people always want to say like, I
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: don't care what anybody But there is a point that
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: everyone does care and everyone has a place where they
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: truly do want to be. But I'm not saying I
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: don't care about what people think in general, La La.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I'm saying there are certain things we can't care about
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: because we know it's not as unfair and as inhumane
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: as people are trying to make it out to be.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: If I sat up there and I disrespected Rihanna and
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I said I don't care, that's a problem because she
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't deserve that. She's home, she's a new mom, she's
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: a beautiful artist, she's doing her things. Most people would
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: dream to have the life that she's had. She's earned it.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I got nothing but mad lover and respect for her.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: If I said something disrespectful like that and I didn't care,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: that's a problem. That's a lack of humanity. I would
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: never do that. What I'm saying is it's not a
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: crime to say I'm a huge Beyonce fan. There is
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: only one and you are about to go on the
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: same stage she has blessed not once but twice, and
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: there is a standard to live up. Yea, there's nothing wrong.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: You come on first take. I'm sorry, y'all. There's a
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: bar that's been set. I've said it. You come on
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: breakfast Club, there's a bar that's been set. Y'all said it.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: You do what the things that all the different things
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: that you're doing with power and now being memo, I'm
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: seeing you. I'm watching what you're doing. You know you
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: continue to a said, well, damn, everybody can't measure up
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: to you. Now, that doesn't mean they're whack. It doesn't
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: mean they're not gifted. It means they're not you. You
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: gotta line of that all. You gotta line in the
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: book that kind of sums that up. You say on
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: first take, we capitalize on the kind of polarization people
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: supposedly at poor what's the word I believe? So I'm
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: trying to remember. I mean, I read it, I read
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: it loving times. But in terms of what like what
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: you're discussing like, it's the kind of polarization. You know,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: people act like they don't like but what do it?
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is this, you wake up and
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: you pay attention. We all do it. You have a show,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: you know what's trending, you know what's newsworthy, you know
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: what's percolating and as it was, and not only that,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: you know who percolates. And so because of that, it
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: determines what subject matter you're going to tackle, because you're
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: not doing the show for you, You're doing the show
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: for the audience you're trying to reach. And I have
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: an audience that has an expectation as it pertains to content.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: And so when we're talking about sports and it's me,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: there's a level of expectation that they have as it
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: pertains to the issues I'm willing to tackle. I'm mindful
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: and cognizant of that, and I operate accordingly. And when
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: somebody questions that, I would remind them I've been number
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: one for eleven years, every month, every year for eleven years,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: so evidently I kind of have an idea of what
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: people want to see. And hear, all right, no, I know,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: you gotta go. I got one more question. It ties
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: into all of this and then no safety net chapter.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: You know, you talk about basically personalities who attack other
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: personalities for things they say cause you talk about it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I think it was the ray right standing least. Everybody
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: got upset with what you said about that, and I
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: feel the same way. I'm like, man, if you got
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: a microphone in front of you, you're going to say
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: something at some point that you're going to get backlash. Four.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: So I don't understand when I see other personalities like
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: calling for other personality to be fired. Yeah, what it
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: is is and remember this, all three of y'all here,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Remember what I'm about to say. When you're winning, they
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: always come in because, unfortunately, particularly in this day and age,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: their definition of winning the closest they can get to
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: it is knocking you off your perch instead of creating
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: one for their own. It's inevitable. And it's just like
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: when he used to call me donkey of the day
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: and all of this other stuff that people expected me
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: to have a problem with him when I first met you.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: What did I say? Had no problem with him? What's
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: so well from you say? Because he didn't attack me.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: He attacked what I felt about a particular I know
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: the difference. They wanted to create that divide. You're not
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: creating that because I'm gonna root for y'all, and I
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: want y'all a root for me, and I'm an root
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: for a whole bunch of brothers and sisters to make it.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: But in the same breath, you have to be real
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: and authentic about what's going on in the moment that
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: is going on and do what you can to enlighten folks.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: If you feel you have an enlightening point of view,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: that's what you do, and you let the tips to
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: aur where they make. People who don't win are real
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: good about doing what you describe, let them keep doing
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: it because it reminds you that you will winner. Otherwise
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't be talking about you. I learned a lot
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: from you, and I feel like it's vice versa. I
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: do want to say this because I was really sitting
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: here thinking about what we were talking about earlier, and
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I want to say this. You know, it is important.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Everyone can have an opinion and who you like better,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: who is your opinion. But I will say this as
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: a black woman, let's acknowledge and celebrate the fact that
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: we have two amazing, talented black women who were able
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: to do the halftime show at the Super Bowl. Outside
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: of sports bands and players, there's the majority of people.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I know that's the reason they watched the super Bowl,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: not for who's playing. They're watching for that halftime show.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: So let's acknowledge an uplift and applaud the fact that
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: on such a huge forum you have Beyonce and now
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: you have Rihanna as a black woman. I'm proud of that.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: That's something that makes me proud. That doesn't take away
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: from your opinion on who you like more or whatever whatever,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: But at that moment, for me, it's about uplifting the
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: fact that we need to celebrate that. Well, let me say, well,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: let me end up by saying this, I completely agree
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: with that one thousand percent. And what you're saying and
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: what you would prefer is entirely different than someone throwing
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: out an accusation that my sentiment was making it a
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: divide between two black women. That's a difference. You're just
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: simply saying they're both great. Let's celebrate them, no problem,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: no problem whatsoever. That's entirely different than and understanding that
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: they're both the reason that majority people are even watching.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: That's right, you guys are watching, but the sports aspecting
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: majority people are watching. But what happens is is that
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: when we question people's intent because they express something differently,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: what happens is then you didn't lose those folks, those
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: folks that they like that because they're like, oh, here
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: they go with this, and I'm like, no, at the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: end of the day, Rihanna is phenomenal, and she's got
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: her own army or navy as they sat Beyonce, it's
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: got her crew. They're both fantastic. They both sell out
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: stadiums and arenas. They're both making gobs and gobs of
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: money and they've earned it. Okay, much love and respect
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: to you. Ain't no doubt about it. I'm root for
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: I ain't rooting against her. I'm just a Beyonce fan.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I think with these microphones, uh, you know, it's something
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: that we would debate to the end of time. Intention
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: versus impact, Yes, because it's a lot of times my
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: intention wasn't to offend, but then somebody, like a lot
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: got to be like, nah, you offend, you offended. You know,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: you impacted that person in a negative way, and those
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: moments you just gotta follow to keep it moving. Yeah,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: you know, which is which is what I did. But
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: let me be very clear, people don't like your apologies.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Hold all that. First of all, Leslie Jones on Comedy
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: sent you hlad so, and she's supposed to that's what
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: she does. I wasn't offended by it at all, all right,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: because she's great, o'nig. Bro it's there struggling, but I'm
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: fifty five. It ain't like I'm thirty five walking around
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: with I'm fifty five. You know what, No, you got it?
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: You know I might visit Cliff, I might hit then
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I got something. I might visit here Cluff for men,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: because you know I you know, I don't think I'm
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: god Zilla, but I ain't the most attractive due the world.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: But if my headline moved forward, I might have a
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: might that might be hopeful that I got some Manala
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: rice water drops for you. Okay, work, work, work it
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: better work. Better let me just right now, because then
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get on me for getting out of another
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: system because if it don't work, I'm blaming. I'm blaming
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: you right now. I just tell you, I'm blaming. I'm blaming.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: You're recommending this for me. That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right I'm telling you that right now,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate y'all. Thank you so much. I want to
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: take you one last thing. Yeah, you know we have
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: a new studio. Okay, so now we have the option
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: to go to you when we need some questions the
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: next time next season the Cowboys start losing and I
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: need to go to you for some backup or some
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: like a zoom call right right to that camp. We
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: could put pat you right in. I got you, and

• 56:40

  Speaker 1: thet star, the harder they fall catch celebrity prank Wars
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Thursday at ten on Eat The Breakfast Club, Bitches Donkey
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: other day with Sharlom Hain't the guard. I don't know
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: why y'all keeping get you out like Donkey to day
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: goes to the Carmela and mains of clear Water, Florida. Now,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: what did your uncle Sharla always tell you about the
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: great state of Florida, saying with me, the craziest people
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: in America come from the Bronx and all the Florida,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: and today is no exception. See Carmela was taken into
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: custody Wednesday and clear Water, Florida after she failed to
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: show up the court the face shoplifting charges. Now why no, no,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: not why wow? She was being processed at the county jail.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: A body scanning revealed an anomaly in her genital area.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even know why I'm using big words like
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: anomaly for no reason. They found something odd in her genitals.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, Was it the penis? All right?
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: It can be a little confusing when someone tells you
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: they are a woman, you know, but that's actually just
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: what they identify at. And then when you get down there, whoa,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: you're staring at the whole play of frank and beans.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: But no, it wasn't a penis, okay. It was a pipe, right,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: not the kind of pipe that produces baby batter to
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: procreate more life, but the kind of pipe that people
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: put cracking and smoke it. You heard me, correct, crack
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: fried cocaine rocks. This woman had a glass crack pipe
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: in her vagina. Okay, yes, When officials conducted the script
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: search of the suspect, they found a glass as crack
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: pipe protruding from the woman's poem. Poem, Carmella then removed
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the crack pipe from her vagina and intentionally threw it
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: on the ground and stepped on it and an effort
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to destroy the evidence. Mind you, she did all of
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: this in front of the officers who had just discovered
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: said evidence on her. But that's not why she's getting
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: dunk here today. It could be, but it's not. It's
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: part of it. The main reason she's getting dunky of today,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: and because of her excuse as to why there was
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: a whole crack pipe in her vagina. Carmela said that
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: the crack pipe wasn't a crack pipe, but it was
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: a sex toy. She said this despite the fact that
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: it was consistent with a pipe commonly used to smoke
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: crack cocaine and it had burnt markings all over it. Okay,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: if she was really thinking she could have said the
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: burnt markings came from that new screen and gone a
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: red that's going around. Okay, it don't just burn humans.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: But nope, she said that the crack pipe she got
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: caught with. You know it was a sex toy. Let
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: me tell you something, Carmella. You might could have got
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: that lie off if you wouldn't have put it in
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: your vagina. I repeat, you might could have got that
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: lie off if you didn't put the crack pipe in
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: your poom foom. If you're going to try to convince
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: people a crack pipe is a sex toy, then guess
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: where you gotta put the crack pipe in the crack
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: of your ass? Okay, all right, listen man, it's a
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: lot of people who are into annal play nowadays. All right, Cosmopolitan,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: I saw this article on MBA's computer. Coin Polton just
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: came up. He had his computer opening. I saw it.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Cosmopolitan came out with a list of the fifteen best
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: butt plugs for two twenty three. You got the Jimmy
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Jane aerial glass plug. Would you like to hear the review? No?
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Are we really talking about this is real? Okay? The
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: review was I got the area and let me tell
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: you wow. I was a little nervous that my inexperienced
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: backdoor it might have difficulty, but I was surprised when
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: they did not a bit of warming up in some lube,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: and this thing had me reaching my oh. Like most
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: class toys, you can use it cold or warmed up,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: and I have to say playing with this toy was amazing.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: I highly recommend this toy. End quote that was a review.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Why did I use that one? Why did I highlight
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: that toy? Because it's a glass antal plug, just like
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: a crack pipe is made of glass. It's time to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: rebrand crack pipes, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, they can actually
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: be sex toys. They even have the perfect name. Pipes
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: are already slang for penis. Asses have cracks, but this
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: is a pipe for your ass. All right, butt plugs
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: coming all forms, silicone, glass, metal, antal plugs, but the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: crack pipe could be a glass antal plug. I can
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: see the reviews now on Cosmopolitan for the crackpipe. Such
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: a great product, especially for the price. It's only twenty
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: dollars read one review. Perfect for beginners in seasoned pros
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: are like big enough to be satisfying, but small enough
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: that it was comfortable to wear for a good period
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: of time. I recommend the crack pipe to anyone. It's
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: smoking bomb. That's how you make a crack pipe a
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: sex toy, Carmela, not the way you did it. Please
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: give Carmela names to sweet Sounds of the Hamletones you.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Oh the day, Yeah, oh the day. Yeah. Now tell
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: me a lot, Lizy, you don't want to crack pipe

• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: and she's from Florida. I don't know what she is
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: when I look at her mug shot. Let's play games. Okay,

• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: race it is? All right? First, Carmela and mains of
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: clad Water, Florida. She got caught with a crack pipe

• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: check toy. Lot lazy, guess what race she is? What
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: makes you think that Flat Leavy that's what I think.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. Did I want the money? Carmela
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: and Mains of clare Water. Fowler got caught with a
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: crack pipe in her vagina, told officers it was a
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: sex toy. Yes, what race she is? This is a
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: tough one, okay, because my black people, they they like
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: the high stuff, they like the maneuver. They don't ask
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: that just a black thing, not at all. It's not
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: just a black thing. Everybody got asses in vaginas. We're
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: not everybody. Everybody got to ask. Yeah, you know that.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: M hmm. I'm gonna go with white. Okay, what the reason?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just a feeling some white crackheadish stuff. Well,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: La la, and both of you are right. She's definitely
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: a crackhead. Tell why I was a little confused, Right,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: she looks like a crackhead. What do you mean, Well,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: she don't look like a woman. You know what. Let's
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: keep it moving, man, I can't believe all right, thank you.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: Don't get the Breakfast Club. It's a psychological thriller, man.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: It taps into um the innermost darkest uh apprehensions of
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: a group of a group of friends that come to
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: a large uh, in the height of the pandemic, it
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: just so happens to be hunted, you know, and and
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: and the spirits that hunts large they pull out the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: fears of people and use it against them. But it's
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: not a scary movie. They're saying, it's not a who's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: this is scary? No, he said, He said he didn't
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: feel like it was scary to him. I didn't say
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: because like thirty three minutes, that's what I cut it off.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, nah, thirty three that I was home
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: alone at the time. Yeah, you yourself a disserve because
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: you know, right at thirty five, then when again as
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: when they go crazy, and now I mean I think, um,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: you know, man, it's really about people tapping into the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: to the things that you know. You know how they
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: talk about self taught. You know, you're a big on
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: mental health and awareness, and you know, I self taught.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: The things you think inside your man more important than
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: the things you confess outside, you know, with your mouth,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: and they tap into the things that you feel about yourself.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: That's why this is the type of horror movie that
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like you could only make it in twenty
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Because we ain't scared, no monsters or nothing. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: And that's what the movie deals with, is the manifestation
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: of the consciousness. So inside the film, what happens is
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: all the characters are dealing with something, you know, the
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: most unique thing we have on earth, which is the mind.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: So whatever it is that you could actually manifest or see,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: whether that's good or bad, that's actually what you bring
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: it to your reality. So the movie is really cool
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: that way, and it's a big conversation piece. Man. We've
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: been touring the last week now. We did like five
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: six cities and every time we screened the movie, it's
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been like an hour of Q and
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: A after everyone about what the mind is doing and
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: how it's doing it. It's a lot to do with
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: mental illness too, man, Like, you know, so it's dope
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: that way. And the end I think it's just spectacular, man,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Like what we the message we get, which is how
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: do you defeat fear? So filming this was horrifying. Dion
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: made us floor like we didn't have no trailer. Hey, man,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: I told him I would go refer I mean like
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: refer it for me though, you know what I'm saying,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: but but that, But I will tend you that the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Large Week film really is haunted and it was dog
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: that the story that they told that was real. No,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: h that story that Large with the with them the
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: killing of the witches and got to sleep there though, yes, yeah,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: this is weird they did. What did you see, Terrice?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Did you see anything when you were there sleeping? So
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not a When I pulled up my mattress, there
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: were spiders that came out from the bed. They had
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: to change like the bed that I wasn't like. It
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: was terrifle. It was terrifying. It was terrifying after the
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: spiders came under your mattress. I'm a method active baby.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: You guys remember this was this was the first movie
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: that was shot during the pandemic. So we actually went
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: to the CDC and had the conversation with them before
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: they started doing the bubble and all that. We were
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: the first ones to do it. We were actually driving
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: people or driving test results to LA and back every day.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: That's how he got us there, so that's how we're
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: able to get there. Joe Spihcord drove from New York
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: to Lake Taho to do this film. Terrence Tip. Everybody
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: came down and descended into one location so we could
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: make the movie. Originally I was going to do it
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: with a cabraphone, and then I got a little bit
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: more risky. I was like, man, I wonder if I
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: could call it a real DP and really shoot this.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: And so I think it's really great about the film
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: is in between takes you will see when you go
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: see the movie, wise call fears because you could really
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: see every actor in there really dealing with something. Because
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: this is at a time where we didn't know so
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: now everybody's cool, Now everybody tough, Now everybody know everything.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: But this is when we were watching CNN and ten
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: thousand Bodies every day. We were saying, you know what
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is that moment. So to be able
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: to do that film during that time, and shout out
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: to Rock sam Man for producing the film during that
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: but we did it, man, And now to have a
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: movie that looks like this and feels like this fresh, new,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: pretty dope. And that's how it got us all there,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: because you know, he called me and say, man, I'm
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: gonna shoot the movie. I say, man, anybody in the
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: movie now, I want to shoot the movie, I said,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: all right when he say, like Thursday, and that's what happened.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: We just I mean, really it was, as I guess,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: it's spontaneous as it sounds, That's exactly how I went down.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: And as soon as I showed up, I saw Terence
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: and it ain't like, you know, I got to show
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: up and prepare and go to wardrobe like I showed him, Hey,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: what what you're wearing right now here? Yeah, let's go
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: first scenes coming right up, the campfire scene that was
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: That was like thirty minutes after I got Really, I
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: love that. I love that there's such a grittiness and
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: so authentic. One is done that way, like when you
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: just in the trenches shooting a movie as a labor
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: of love. Everybody's just putting their best foot forward. It's
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: not about hair to make up the clothes. It's really
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: about just digging in and getting into it. You got
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: to be a beast to do that. Yeah, he hes dog.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: So you thought to yourself down, let's use no budget whatsoever.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: What the film representative was the moment of the time
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: we were in. So even when Tip got there, when
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: it come up to right, you know, right when he
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: got there, and I looked at him. I was I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: was like, that's it, this is the moment. This is
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: what he looks like, you know what I mean? And yeah,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: no no budget at all. You know. What we were
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: trying to do was just be raw and be ugly
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: and capture what it felt like during that time. But
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: the twist is when you go to the theater, you'll
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: understand where we're going with this, because, like I said,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: fear is a powerful, powerful emotion and it would look
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: it could it could manifest in a very very hurtful way.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: So what I thought was really cool about the movies
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: as we keep growing it and growing it. I was
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: saying this the other day, like during that time and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: even now, like you feel like I mean, I feel
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: like I got a little thing right here. You're gonna
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: line you started searching, you go down the rabbit hole
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: for you know, you didn't diagnose yourself, right, So like
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: I got this And so this energy is in this film, right,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: How we perceived television is in this film. How we
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: see everything that we consume and how we regurgitated it's
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: in this film. All right, we got more with Tian
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: terrce j and Dan Taylor. You know that movie Fear
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: comes out tomorrow, So don't movie. It's the Breakfast Club

• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Lila was joining us during this interview. So let's get
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: back to the interview. Now. You talk about the campfire scene.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: That's the scene where you guys start talking about your fears. Ye,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: So let me ask you guys in real life, what
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: is your biggest fear? Start with you, TJ. My biggest
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: fear is just not maximizing my full potential, you know,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: waking up an old man and looking back and feeling
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: like I left something on the table. And so that's
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: why every morning I get up, I'm like, you know,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want to leave anything behind in this life,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: you know, So that would probably be it is that
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: while you're looking alone, walk in front of you and
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: is my sister, sister. That's like my sister, how did
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: this even go left? That's like my family. When when
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: when you see Neil, you see you got to open
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: the doors. You know what I'm saying me along is
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: a is a is a national treasure. She must be
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: protected at all cars you know, biggest fear, uh? I
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: think my biggest fear, man, you know, is not being
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: able to be there for for for my kids and
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: my loved ones when they depending on me when they
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: need me, and not even just not be there physically,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: like you know, just not be here to guide them
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: and direct them and you know, off of my my
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: uh I guess experience or knowledge of wisdom for them
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: to get through whatever they might be challenged with. I
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: think that's that's my biggest fear. Yeah. Oh, I think
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: my biggest fear is like constantly trying to wonder if
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm be here in ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years from
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: my kids, Like I'm like, man, I want to be
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: here when they turn. That's something that I keep on
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: messing with. And that's something you gotta not do. You
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: got to live in a moment right now and understand that,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: you know, every day as a blessing versus you trying
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: to live for what you know, what twenty thirty gonna
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: feel like, you know what I mean, so it would
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: be time for me. And that's what's crazy as we
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: deal with all this in the film. Yeah, I'm thinking
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: about the movie. You know, you did the whole airborne
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: virus that got people stuck in the house, you know
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But then also, I'm not gonna give
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: it away, but there was a lot of people who
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: committed suicide during that time. When was all of that?
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Did y'all tap all of that during that one year
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: or well that stuff y'all did after the fact? Did
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: it all in the fifteen days we were there? Wow?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: So we were really ahead of that moment. Yeah, that's why.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: That's why I keep telling you know, that's why the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: movie is being received the way because you what you
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: just hit on, which is we were actually ahead of
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: that curve a little bit. What we were like, man,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: just thinking it out loud, like tip Terence, you know
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like how they what happens is pretty dope.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: You what was it like, July twenty twenty. Yeah, Yeah,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: everything started hitting the fan around March April Februaries when
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: they started going. You know, we put all the money
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: on the screen. So it's like, you know, when he
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: asked you to participate in something like that, you want
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: to get paid six figures to be in it or
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: you want to invest six figures and have a seat
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: at the table. And so that's the beauty of what
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Dion's created with This is where you know producers complete
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: profit participation and I and I love that because it's
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: all about you know, Boston up. It's all about us
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: working together. It's not reaching up. There's no studio handing
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: us down money. It's completely self finance, doesn't looking depend
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: If anybody looks looking dependent, like they didn't tell me
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: that right now, I would have never thought that. Watching
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: it feel like get Out is now that I think about.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: That's why you know the people and get Out of
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: the actors, they got shot to get out and there
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: your mouth to guard is yet this get Out? And
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: then the movie a little bit part it's checked with
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: an armored in a box. His first road he checked
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: from Get Up. It's crazy. Yeah, but I think like
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: what this represents everyone. I think everyone talks a good
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: game about this black excellence and building our own and
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: but it's very seldom man, that we actually really work together.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: And people, Yeah, people don't want to have that conversation about, like,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: you know, working with people that look just like you,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: and especially in this industry. Man where people are actually
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: the ones that look like you could be the most
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: cutthroat you know, and the most people that have pushed
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: you away so very clickish, you know what I mean.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: So for us independently, man, I've been you know, this
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: took us a long time to be able to build this.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: But now, like movies like you know, Black and Blue
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: and Intruder and you know all these other films we
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: didn't made Supremacy, Yeah, with rehearsal, Ali and Danny Glover
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: like now to be able to do it at this
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: level and now also be inclusive and work with other people,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: this movie could go much further than I could throw
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: it based on the fact that these guys could run
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: faster than me too, you know what I mean. So
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: this should be like the new brand of what we're
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: trying to build in Hollywood, you know, which is really
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: everybody working together and building something and owning something collectively,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: not just one person getting rich or getting empowered or
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: so if this movie works, we do it again, and
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: then we do it again, and then these guys actually
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: participate because right now no one owns IPS. I was
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: going to say, it's just so that's what's so important
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: and one thing about you, Dan is you're always about
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: giving those opportunities to people that to us, you know,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: people that understand what our day to day lifestyle is like.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: And I think is amazing to provide those opportunities to
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: all of us for ownership and just also to kind
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: of I've learned a lot from you, like just learning
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: from you, and I know just watching how he works,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: it's like it's like a masterclass. And to be able
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: to be a part of that and then, like he said,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: take that blueprint and do it again, and do it again.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: That's what it's about. Providing more opportunities for all of
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: us out there to continue to grow and then put
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: some positions to provide more opportunities for more people. You
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: gotta have that. It's a reason why people are like, man,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen Jack Nicholson work in twenty five years,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: but he's sitting on the front row of the Lakers
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: game right. It's because he owns Steak and Equity and
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: Batman piano reeves the matrix, you know what I mean.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: So you could go on and on how these guys
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: are able to actually be a part of something, but us,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: we always get it up front. You know what I mean.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: And now in this system where everything is streaming and
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: they own everything, you really don't get no IP or equity.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: So now you're gonna get paid all the money right now,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: and then you're gonna watch that for the next twenty
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: thirty years. Your kid's gonna watch that. So to be
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: able to participate like real did and to get out
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: or have percentage, I'm sure he didn't invest, but they
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: gave him equity in the movie because he came in
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: a small budget movie. But this is different, man, Like,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: this is ownership. So when you see Fear this weekend
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: in the movie theater, and you're right, it looks fantastic.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Chris Duskin, you know the whole VFX
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: team that worked on this. When you see that, just
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: understand when you buy that ticket, it is actually going
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: back to a black production company and back to these
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: guys who put their money up and they own that.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: So in five years from now, when you watch Feared,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: it's there. So now we could buy some cars for
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: Envy's car shot for the car shot, TI I was
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: gonna ask. So when you board during the pandemic, it
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: was like I gotta shoot something I can't just sit
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: on my ass. But what was that with? That thought
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: process came because we were all home doing nothing. No,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Dion was calling everybody. He was was on the phone
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: with Charlemagne six am every morning. We got to change
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: the world. We're gonna do approach like dionea on the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: couple Z. We did great man. We were acton was
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: leading the charge on. It wasn't even entertainment stuff. It
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: was politics. Yeah, all of us, you and me and
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Killer Mike and uh. I think we all just everybody
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: knew something big it's gonna come out of it. You know.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: We just wanted to be a part of whatever was
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: going to be on the other side that was that
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: was going to be financially beneficial or even just culturally beneficial. Uh.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: And I think you know, in our own way, everybody did.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people didn't make it to
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: the other side. I'm saying that physically as well as
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: mental mentally. A lot of people did not make that jump.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: Y'all show that in the movie. Yeah, some people wanted
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: to make it. You know, it's around than just what
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't you know, and just wouldn't let it happen with
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: the ain't gonna say we got more with tr terrce
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: J and Dion Taylor. You know that movie Fear comes
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: out tomorrow, so don't move. It's to breakfast Club. Good
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: morning the Breakfast Club. We are to Breakfast Club. Were
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: too kidding with tr Terrice Ja and Dion Taylor that
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: movie Fear comes out tomorrow. Now La was joining us
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: during this interview, so let's get back to the interview.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: Charloba deal, how important is like just mentorship? Like who
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: taught you? Like you're giving the game to people, but
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: who taught you? You know what? I wasn't taught And
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's what really helps me to be who
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I am today because it was so hard for us
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: for seventeen years. Every time we went somewhere and somebody
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: tell you know, you don't know how to actually do something,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: so you have to learn on your own. I just
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: remember Man two three times having a metaphysical death in
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: my life. Well I'm like, damn man, Like I thought
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: I was doing this right, but I've collapsed. And later
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: on in life I ended up meaning Robert Smith, who
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: became a real mentor to me. But I was already
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: on the move. He already seen that. But yeah, that's
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: why Richard black Man in America too. Yeah, but that's
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: why I just come from a place man of like, man,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: we could just show it educating. I know that's not normal,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: but you know we already said, man, the game is
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: to be sold, and I told I've always been like, no, man,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: you get a game away for free, so we could
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: learn and move forward. That's the bottom line, you know
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not it should not be this
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: thing where it's only one and we've had this conversation.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: I've seen Kevin Hard have it. I've seen Tia have it,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Terrence have it. That's a reality right now, it's only one,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like, man, how do
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: we get past that? And then how do we also
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: celebrate people that's actually winning? Man? You know, we just
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: talking about Josephcore of fifty cent on the way over here,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: because Joe is a really big part of this film,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: and I was just saying to myself, Man, do you
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: guys understand we do as a culture, but do you
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: understand what this man has done in television? Yeah? I
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: don't think people understand. They don't. Yeah, But at the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: same time, why why why does the country not understand that?
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: And then why is he still being in a position
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: where he has to fight for what he's right? Right, Like,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: this is real, man, you think of no valuable in
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: black content? We value, but I don't think somebody else's hands. True,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: they try to devalue. We owe his numbers. His numbers
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: better than every other show on the network. So what
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: does that mean? But that's also why it's up to us,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: like everything that we're talking about, because obviously fifty has
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: been a mentor and I've said a million times, I
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: say it a million one times. Fifty changed my life
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: by the opportunities that he's always provided to me. But
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: then you'll see what people be like, Oh she did power,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: now she on BMF, she just do everything. We're fifties
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: that first of all, I'm loyal, and second of all,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: like this man provided it's like it's like it's you're
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: mad about that or that's not the right thing, but
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: some other person gives me opportunity. Yeah, yeah, you should
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: go do that. You should go do that, because yeah,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: I just said it's not it's not it's value when
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: we give it to somebody else, but we have it.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: It's just it's not valued. Man. They criticize you to
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: the copy there you got no what Tips. It makes
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense because I'm thinking about like somebody
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: like Norman live right, you know what I mean, called
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: you every time no one would say anything jerd appetite, Yeah,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: you know, every everywhere. Yeah, you know, I was thinking too, Tip.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: You know who who's mentoring the young rappers in Atlanta?
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: Because you talk about your growth and your evolution. And
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like brothers like you who made the transition
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: from the streets, you know, to corporate America. You gotta
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: get these young brothers from game because they feel like
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: they just thrown it all the way. I'm I'm I'm
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: always here, bro, you know what I'm saying. I'm always here.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: I always try and make myself available whenever I can.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: And uh, and I believe that the mentorship is you know,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: it's present. It's present. Man. You know you got uh
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: institutions of culture like Grand Hustle qc Uh. You know
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: you got uh free bands, you got uh street execs. Uh.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: You know it's it's a lot so so deaf. You know,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of ogs. Did you know what
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? That reached back and still make sure that
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: the conversations of being had h you gotta kill the
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: mike you got, you know, uh see low Yeah, of course, jeez.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: Everybody like does our part to make sure that if
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: there's some information that a young man or a young
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: lady needs, that they know where to find the places
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: like the gathering spot, places like the Trap Music Museum,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: places like Trap City Cafe where you just show up
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: and just happen to see somebody. Hey, man, how do
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: you like a person like pulled up to the cafe?
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: But like, how do I copyright my music if I
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: can't really afford a lawyer? I was like, man, you know,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: I just used to I don't know if they still
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: do it like that, but I just used to put
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: my demo in the mail, and I don't know where
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: I used the way I would tell you what I'm saying.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: If yeah, that's what I learned. You know, let me
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: ask you a question, this question for you too, and
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: you this this is interesting. Could you could you when
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: you name Killer Mike yourself? You see all these different
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: brands organizations that as pioneer rap. Is there a way
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: to actually unionize hip hop? Was it somebody trying to
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: do that. They've been trying to do it. For why
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: they trying. What I'm saying, you could actually do that,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: I think, I think it should be done it and
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: the reason not only for that for conversation and growth,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: but also think about all the artists that get older.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying with a pension, yeah, don't
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: have healthcare. Yeah, you know, don't have the finance. That's
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: what they need. That's retirement. I mean, I think that
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: would be a great You'd have to look at other
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: industries and to see how they did it, because that's
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: out of my spectrum education. I guess you'd have to
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: look at like the film industry and see how they
• 1:24:45
