- 4:01Speaker 1: called the telling a teacher having permission to publish the
- 4:05Speaker 1: student yep. And when you was home, your grandparents and
- 4:10Speaker 1: your parents would take the jet aside no matter what. Yep.
- 4:14Speaker 1: If you acted up in school, you was in trouble
- 4:16Speaker 1: when you got home. And now they're talking to that.
- 4:21Speaker 1: You know, they got their own voice and to protected
- 4:24Speaker 1: emotions and stuff like that. So you know, I think
- 4:27Speaker 1: it's going a little too far. You know what she
- 4:29Speaker 1: is only making like forty k. You made me think
- 4:32Speaker 1: about something. Forty k's a lot, mom, most of my
- 4:35Speaker 1: mom ever made in a South Carolina with thirty thousand
- 4:37Speaker 1: a year. You made me think about something. She's beating
- 4:40Speaker 1: up on a dote at home because for her to
- 4:42Speaker 1: go out in the real world, I think she can
- 4:43Speaker 1: try and to do she doesn't want at home at
- 4:45Speaker 1: least once or twice. Yeah, ain't no, ain't no dough
- 4:48Speaker 1: that would be there asking the house. That's that's probably true.
- 4:51Speaker 1: But I would say this like he said. You know,

- 4:55Speaker 1: Queen's Caribbean teacher who would grab my cheeks and twist
- 4:58Speaker 1: my cheeks if I wasn't paying attention. That's amuse I
- 5:00Speaker 1: mean a lot of no teachers, did you still amuse us?

- 5:05Speaker 1: She ain't never put her hands on me, but boys
- 5:07Speaker 1: to see her drafting kids around that classroom, and I
- 5:09Speaker 1: shout up, Miss Butterfield. Miss Butterfield, Me and her son

- 7:34Speaker 1: you're not interested in? Now this comes from real househoves
- 7:37Speaker 1: with Atlanta. Let's let's hear it. You're giving me a rolex?
- 7:42Speaker 1: Does that mean something? What are you think it means? Oh?
- 7:47Speaker 1: A rolex is timeless. Yeah, but if you let it
- 7:50Speaker 1: and you rewind it and you're working, it can last
- 7:52Speaker 1: five months. Okay, whatever that means. It's getting but I
- 8:02Speaker 1: still get this watching mad so Nini. Is this something
- 8:09Speaker 1: that you don't mind doing If somebody gives you a gift,
- 8:11Speaker 1: you like, hey, I'm keeping it. H Yeah, No, not really. No,
- 8:17Speaker 1: I don't think you should accept a gifts. No, seriously,
- 8:19Speaker 1: I don't think you should accept gifts from everyone that
- 8:21Speaker 1: you're not interested in. Okay, some guys. Look, I know
- 8:25Speaker 1: he was a nice guy. I know he wouldn't do
- 8:27Speaker 1: anything to me crazy, so and I want it to
- 8:30Speaker 1: get but I wanted to get. But don't you think
- 8:32Speaker 1: if somebody gives you something like a Rolex, right, yeah,
- 8:35Speaker 1: that's ten thousand dollars. Yeah, he's not giving it to
- 8:37Speaker 1: you because he thinks you're cool. You know, he probably
- 8:40Speaker 1: wants to date you or but he thinks something cool.
- 8:43Speaker 1: That's why he wants to date me. But I don't
- 8:45Speaker 1: want to date him. But I just wanted to get.
- 8:47Speaker 1: But he might think that that's like a leading like, oh,
- 8:50Speaker 1: she's accepting and I am misleading him. So y'all don't
- 8:56Speaker 1: have a problem with it. As long as you don't
- 8:58Speaker 1: mislead him. You know, I'm saying, you gotta let that person. No,
- 9:00Speaker 1: this don't mean nothing. I don't owe you anything because
- 9:02Speaker 1: you gave me this watch. Don't think because you gave
- 9:04Speaker 1: me the gift, I'm gonna yeah, you know what I'm saying.
- 9:06Speaker 1: That understood. I don't have a problem with you taking
- 9:08Speaker 1: the gift. Yah know. I mean but even if you
- 9:10Speaker 1: do say that, he still think this is a chance
- 9:12Speaker 1: because you're accepting the gift. I mean yeah, but if
- 9:14Speaker 1: you're making it clear, like just because you're giving this gift,
- 9:16Speaker 1: that don't mean I'm giving you some of this boom boom?
- 9:18Speaker 1: You know? Can you also ask for other things? You know,
- 9:21Speaker 1: just because you gave me that this is not enough.
- 9:23Speaker 1: I'd like to have a car and shoes and bags.
- 9:25Speaker 1: And then I'll think about it. Think about what you
- 9:28Speaker 1: think about. Maybe you're going a date after all? Lot, No,
- 9:31Speaker 1: I'm go on the day. But sleeping with him, yeah,

- 15:43Speaker 1: that entitled you know, that entitlement. You know what I mean,
- 15:46Speaker 1: because because you know they always say it ain't tricking
- 15:48Speaker 1: if she's worth it, right, like if she's if she's
- 15:51Speaker 1: rolex worthing. You give a rolex, you know, it's like
- 15:54Speaker 1: you do it and hope for the best. Hello, who's this? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 15:59Speaker 1: good morning, good morning? Absolutely absolutely what yeah? Yeah you
- 16:04Speaker 1: ain't even absolutely yes, I'm taking the gifts. Let's tell
- 16:09Speaker 1: you something I was listening to respond. Okay, absolutely, you
- 16:13Speaker 1: should accept that a guest willingly. You don't lay no
- 16:19Speaker 1: stipulations down. We are sleeping together, So somebody gives you
- 16:24Speaker 1: a rolex that you're not interested in. You're taking that
- 16:26Speaker 1: rolex and you out absolutely because you want to know
- 16:28Speaker 1: something to day decided to give it to me for it? Nini,
- 16:32Speaker 1: do you lay any stipulations down? Do you let them know? Like,
- 16:34Speaker 1: ain't ain't happening now just because you gave me a gift?
- 16:37Speaker 1: Feel like we want to dinner? What's your restaurant? And
- 16:39Speaker 1: would you like to eat at? You know, we go
- 16:40Speaker 1: to dinner tonight. We can talk and yeah, but that's it.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I mean, you know I didn't do Yanni like that. Hello,
- 16:48Speaker 1: you didn't do you? Hello, good morning, good morning. What's
- 16:52Speaker 1: your name Devin, Devin, what's your thoughts, Devin? Are you
- 16:55Speaker 1: accepting gifts with somebody not interested in? Of course I
- 16:59Speaker 1: am not, and I love you, my husband adore you.
- 17:02Speaker 1: But I think it is so wrong to accept a
- 17:05Speaker 1: gift to somebody you have no interest with. I think
- 17:08Speaker 1: he mis lead them. I think, yeah, it gives something
- 17:12Speaker 1: the wrong message. And I think that's part of the
- 17:15Speaker 1: like part of why like soccer tapping, like open up
- 17:18Speaker 1: so many different hands on work. Yeah, I understand, but
- 17:21Speaker 1: I actually did, in the end date this guy for
- 17:24Speaker 1: a little while. I don't know if you guys remember
- 17:26Speaker 1: he's that sorry date like I have to do it
- 17:28Speaker 1: because he gave me order. No, he was giving me
- 17:30Speaker 1: so much. I was the guy. We saw this playout
- 17:33Speaker 1: on TV. Yeah, I did have to. I just felt
- 17:35Speaker 1: like I needed to day him. He was so good
- 17:37Speaker 1: to me. Who wasn't I don't want to shout him up.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I don't need to, h So, he was so good
- 17:43Speaker 1: to you, he gave you gifts, So why didn't it work?
- 17:46Speaker 1: It just didn't work. He's we're still are friends today.
- 17:48Speaker 1: He's a very nice guy. But um, I'm honestly, I'm
- 17:52Speaker 1: just wasn't attracted to him. Okay, don't do that, I
- 18:00Speaker 1: tell you you, pepe j You know what I think too.
- 18:09Speaker 1: I think some of these women haven't received the right gift.
- 18:12Speaker 1: The only person I heard they give to get back
- 18:13Speaker 1: with the person who received the apple watch. Everybody getting
- 18:16Speaker 1: their rolexes and these big boy gives, these big girl
- 18:18Speaker 1: gifts ain't giving them back. But what's the mole of
- 18:21Speaker 1: the story. I think the mother of the story as
- 18:24Speaker 1: long as you let people know what it is. You
- 18:25Speaker 1: know what I think the mother of the story is.
- 18:27Speaker 1: You have to use good judgment, you know what I mean.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I knew that he wasn't a bad person. I knew
- 18:31Speaker 1: he wouldn't hurt me or anything like that. But you
- 18:34Speaker 1: can't accept everybody's gifts, all right? Did anybody ever ask
- 18:37Speaker 1: anything back? Who is everybody? Anybody? Anyone? No, you can't
- 18:42Speaker 1: get these gifts backs. They're not going back. What we're
- 18:48Speaker 1: gonna do? What you want to be getting the back?
- 18:50Speaker 1: I respect that. I tell women all the time, you can't.
- 18:52Speaker 1: You can't on apphone, you know what I'm saying. You
- 18:55Speaker 1: can't that don't get to get back. I'm not giving
- 18:57Speaker 1: back anything. My goodness, it's the breakfast Come Morning, the

- 19:19Speaker 1: The bigger the star, the harder they fall. Catch Celebrity
- 19:22Speaker 1: prink Wars Tonight at ten on eight And those bridges
- 19:25Speaker 1: and you gotta come back on that bridge because everything
- 19:28Speaker 1: that go up come down, And so I just humble myself. Man.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I definitely feel the pain of all the oldgs that
- 19:34Speaker 1: have kids. I've been through a lot this year, bro.
- 19:37Speaker 1: So you know in hip hop, the kids are turning
- 19:40Speaker 1: on you. Everything you gotta deal with. And I get
- 19:42Speaker 1: out and fight and work for my kids. And I
- 19:44Speaker 1: look at and I'm gonna say the names because people
- 19:46Speaker 1: always change the realm. But everybody's going through something, whether
- 19:50Speaker 1: it's right or rome. But I feel like everything I've
- 19:53Speaker 1: been in life, I've been shot at, almost killed. I
- 19:56Speaker 1: grew up in the projects, I made it out. I
- 19:59Speaker 1: put the work in and then you know, we talk
- 20:01Speaker 1: about nine fifty years of hip hop. But look how
- 20:03Speaker 1: we're crumbling because we don't value each other. And so
- 20:07Speaker 1: anybody give you an opportunity, you should be able to
- 20:10Speaker 1: value that and be thankful anybody ever gave me an opportunity.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I know em when you came on and there was
- 20:15Speaker 1: like a joke and everybody saying like what I was saying. Y'allo, man,
- 20:19Speaker 1: it's not that many opportunities out here. Shout out the
- 20:21Speaker 1: fifty cent what he's doing in the TV game. But
- 20:25Speaker 1: when somebody come on the set, it's not from him.
- 20:29Speaker 1: You know your check is not gonna get cut from
- 20:31Speaker 1: that person. I mean, you're in the business. I don't know,
- 20:33Speaker 1: Like when you look at George Lucas star Wars, those
- 20:40Speaker 1: checks don't come from him. But I will culture just
- 20:44Speaker 1: we just throw the blame at each other. And I
- 20:46Speaker 1: was just curious because I'm gonna tell you something. The
- 20:49Speaker 1: young lady that was on here, I love. I like her,
- 20:52Speaker 1: like chief funny to me like that's I wouldn't have
- 20:55Speaker 1: put it into the movie if I didn't feel like that.
- 20:58Speaker 1: So even other guy from DC, I wouldn't have put
- 21:02Speaker 1: him his music out. He's talented. I wouldn't have put
- 21:05Speaker 1: him I could honestly admit if I think you're talented.
- 21:08Speaker 1: But the world got to realize that everything don't sell
- 21:11Speaker 1: when you validate something. Say a person was in jail,
- 21:14Speaker 1: that's how and they're seeing their music in jail because
- 21:17Speaker 1: that like, come on, bro, how far are we going?
- 21:20Speaker 1: Like we gotta grow. That's why I said, we've more
- 21:22Speaker 1: adventure entertaining than educating. Well, you think the misunderstanding is
- 21:26Speaker 1: coming coming, Pep, Well, I think for me, Man, I'm
- 21:29Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I've been to a lot.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Like I said, I lost my daughter and it's like, man,
- 21:34Speaker 1: I ain't really got time for this, But I wanted
- 21:36Speaker 1: to come up with the educated because I'm not gonna
- 21:38Speaker 1: go against these people because I love them. This is
- 21:40Speaker 1: this is this is what I was once was. But
- 21:43Speaker 1: I have that much respect to if I have a problem,
- 21:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you try to figure it out. Or
- 21:47Speaker 1: if somebody ain't been around you ten years or this
- 21:50Speaker 1: stuff this other thing happened six years ago. What I'm saying,
- 21:53Speaker 1: why are we arguing and fussing about that. Other cultures
- 21:55Speaker 1: are not doing it right. They're not putting each other down.
- 21:58Speaker 1: They'll communicate now they that's the past. We can't change
- 22:01Speaker 1: the pads with the change people, but we can be
- 22:03Speaker 1: thankful somebody gave me an opportunity. Think about it, You
- 22:07Speaker 1: guys got an opportunity on here. So if I pay
- 22:10Speaker 1: somebody fifteen grand for three four hours or five whatever
- 22:14Speaker 1: it was, right, if I came up here and hosts
- 22:17Speaker 1: on this show with you, how much would you paying
- 22:20Speaker 1: the host on the show? Yeah, I mean co host
- 22:23Speaker 1: that on here anybody. Yeah, I mean if they're coming
- 22:27Speaker 1: to just for a couple of days. Okay, So somebody
- 22:29Speaker 1: could come here for a couple of days and make
- 22:31Speaker 1: no money. But I could give somebody fifteen thousand for
- 22:34Speaker 1: a couple of hours. And now I got to go
- 22:36Speaker 1: through this that I gave him my opportunity. Think about it.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Everything that I try to give people opportunities for it
- 22:42Speaker 1: come back to bite me. And I'm saying why I
- 22:44Speaker 1: think the devil is busy? You know why the devil busy?
- 22:47Speaker 1: Because we're doing bigger things now. It's not I'm not
- 22:50Speaker 1: in a music business. I love my people. I'm like,
- 22:53Speaker 1: think about it, Charler Man, everything that I haven't done,
- 22:56Speaker 1: why I didn't go byral Like I'm talking about pipe
- 22:58Speaker 1: being in community over twenty four years. I'm gonna show
- 23:00Speaker 1: you something. Your son going to an HBCU. Yeah, better
- 23:03Speaker 1: of this stuff. I'm gonna saw your something. I'm gonna
- 23:05Speaker 1: start right now. You're talking about product I put out.
- 23:08Speaker 1: It's a real book that I did with a seven
- 23:10Speaker 1: year old kid that's blind. Now, that got shot in Louisville, right,
- 23:15Speaker 1: Nobody talked about that. That can't like whoever did this?
- 23:18Speaker 1: Nobody seen the ABC book what I sell for the
- 23:25Speaker 1: kids and all. Let's go back for a wonderful call.
- 23:29Speaker 1: I'd embarrassed so many kids in that city even then Washington, DC.
- 23:34Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go out and watch the DC. I
- 23:36Speaker 1: got a school that I'm with with other black men.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I'm on the board and it's called Richard Wright. Why
- 23:43Speaker 1: none of these kids coming down here and working with us,
- 23:45Speaker 1: helping us keep this going. I'm not from DC, but
- 23:48Speaker 1: the people in the DC know the time that I
- 23:49Speaker 1: put in there. So I'm gonna show y'all in this.
- 23:53Speaker 1: It's a gift for you, proud Burds. Y'all see that
- 23:56Speaker 1: twenty four sixteen. A righteous man false seven times and
- 24:00Speaker 1: then he arrives, He arrives from falling, he get back up.
- 24:04Speaker 1: It don't matter how many times I don't feel I
- 24:06Speaker 1: get back up. And I think people don't like that
- 24:09Speaker 1: because they want me to stay. Well I used to
- 24:11Speaker 1: be at I'm not. I'm not a quitter. I get
- 24:14Speaker 1: up and work hard, do what I gotta do. And
- 24:16Speaker 1: that's why God keep blessing. You think all of this
- 24:18Speaker 1: is just some miscommunication, Yes, I really do. And for
- 24:21Speaker 1: people that don't know, let's let's say Masterps here. Last week,
- 24:24Speaker 1: Jess Hilarious was co hosting with us and there was
- 24:27Speaker 1: a story about master P and Fatreal. So you know,
- 24:31Speaker 1: Jess claimed that, you know, during taping off, I got
- 24:33Speaker 1: the hook up too. She got a front end of
- 24:36Speaker 1: a check and never received the back end. And she
- 24:38Speaker 1: stated that, so what was the communication? And Masterpiece said,
- 24:41Speaker 1: you know, I don't miscommunications. Masterpi said, I don't pay
- 24:43Speaker 1: peoplet's a production company. It's my movie. But it's yeah,
- 24:45Speaker 1: but why is we talking about that. Let's be honest.
- 24:48Speaker 1: I gave you opportunity. Why is we talking about that
- 24:51Speaker 1: to bring I'm not even in the music business no more.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I'm not in the entertainment. But that's what I'm saying.
- 24:55Speaker 1: So you take that and turn it into clicks. And
- 24:58Speaker 1: even when she read it, I wasn't addressing them when
- 25:01Speaker 1: I said people hide behind these computers and blog that
- 25:04Speaker 1: wasn't That wasn't about her. That's what I'm telling y'all.
- 25:07Speaker 1: It's all the miscommunication. What she read was not about her.
- 25:11Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. Listen, Let's change this, man,
- 25:13Speaker 1: Let's change our thoughts and our patterns to say, how
- 25:16Speaker 1: can we help each other. I'm doing something bigger man.
- 25:18Speaker 1: I'm I used to be in the streets. I changed
- 25:21Speaker 1: my life. My life was about building guards kingdom. Now
- 25:23Speaker 1: I'm about building this guard kingdom. And I know the
- 25:25Speaker 1: devil gonna don't like that, like, okay, gonna throw my
- 25:28Speaker 1: own people. That's why I say this us against us.
- 25:30Speaker 1: We have to change that. But we got to stop
- 25:32Speaker 1: allowing all these bloggers and gossips to start putting stuff
- 25:36Speaker 1: out there and making the news. I'm just saying, even
- 25:37Speaker 1: if she said that, nobody checked it verified, but that
- 25:41Speaker 1: was news the same thing what you did. And when
- 25:43Speaker 1: you said that, you hit the news to go viral
- 25:47Speaker 1: for what? Oh I mean IRV got it? Yeah. All
- 25:49Speaker 1: the reason I said that because you know, during that time,
- 25:51Speaker 1: I was broke and and because that money meant everything
- 25:55Speaker 1: to me. Now it doesn't bother me. Now, I don't
- 25:57Speaker 1: need the money from Irvan. I speak to Earth all
- 25:58Speaker 1: the time. But it bought me because during that time,
- 26:00Speaker 1: I was an upcoming producer. That was my first beat
- 26:02Speaker 1: soul and I didn't know the game. So IRV brought
- 26:06Speaker 1: the beat. I never got a back end. He put
- 26:07Speaker 1: it in a movie. I never got a money from it.
- 26:09Speaker 1: But that bought me because I'm like, damn, that money
- 26:11Speaker 1: would have helped and that. But now I'm past it.
- 26:13Speaker 1: You know, I speak to him, but I speak to them.
- 26:15Speaker 1: But I'm saying no for that. It triggered something to
- 26:17Speaker 1: where the world on. That was a long time ago.
- 26:20Speaker 1: It was like this was yesterday. That's what I'm saying.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Even all the stuff that people talked about me, that
- 26:24Speaker 1: was a long time. Yes, see what I'm saying. But
- 26:28Speaker 1: it made it like this new. But I'm saying, we
- 26:30Speaker 1: don't need that with each other, because they don't. They
- 26:32Speaker 1: could stand on each cone to do all these different things.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Even if they have a problem with each other, they
- 26:36Speaker 1: could communicate that with each other. I just think we
- 26:38Speaker 1: have to stop that. We are killing us with the media.
- 26:43Speaker 1: I have a school in Saint Louis called Urban Bonn,
- 26:47Speaker 1: which you now, which we helped keep kids off the
- 26:50Speaker 1: streets after school program we started in LA where Nipsey
- 26:54Speaker 1: Hustle was one of the first kids in our school
- 26:57Speaker 1: in the eighth grade. So look how far well I've
- 26:59Speaker 1: been doing over twenty four years. Nobody talk about that.
- 27:02Speaker 1: That's the only thing I'm saying. So if you stop
- 27:05Speaker 1: me from doing what I'm doing, who are going to
- 27:07Speaker 1: help these kids? I'm in New Orleans being there for
- 27:09Speaker 1: over twenty something years, and Memphis been there for over
- 27:12Speaker 1: twenty years. In California, Louisville, you know I'm battering kids
- 27:18Speaker 1: paying for it. So I don't. I don't. I don't
- 27:20Speaker 1: measure well by what you have. I measured by what
- 27:23Speaker 1: you get. And so I want our culture now, people
- 27:26Speaker 1: to understand that why is we destroying each other? Now?
- 27:29Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, people, I also look at
- 27:31Speaker 1: it like this, right when we talk about all your
- 27:32Speaker 1: positive you know you always invited a pair. But if
- 27:34Speaker 1: somebody owes me money, whether it's twenty years or ten years,
- 27:38Speaker 1: and it's a misunderstanding, I feel a conversation should be happy,
- 27:42Speaker 1: not the fact that it's twenty years ago. It don't
- 27:44Speaker 1: matter for me. Thank God I was blessed enough where
- 27:46Speaker 1: it doesn't matter now. But I'm saying that was your situation.
- 27:49Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, we are in the production thing, right,
- 27:52Speaker 1: we don't pay for the right, That's what I'm saying.
- 27:57Speaker 1: So that's why I'm asking was there and misunderstand it
- 28:00Speaker 1: with an agent, product, the production company or man, they
- 28:03Speaker 1: don't matter because I think people take it out of
- 28:05Speaker 1: contents because of what's saying instead of looking at you know.
- 28:08Speaker 1: And I hope one day I could get with her
- 28:10Speaker 1: and say, because I'm really, I really don't want to
- 28:12Speaker 1: be in the entertainment business ever again, I'm good. So
- 28:16Speaker 1: if my kids want to do it, they got to
- 28:17Speaker 1: do it on their own. I'm good. I want to be.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I want to be in a product of business, to
- 28:21Speaker 1: be honest with you, because once you grow up and
- 28:24Speaker 1: we got to show this culture how to live, and
- 28:26Speaker 1: that's what I want to do. I mean, they got
- 28:28Speaker 1: you know, even I'm just telling y'all comedians, this throwing
- 28:32Speaker 1: the people that's gonna do for what you got to
- 28:34Speaker 1: do for the community and the culture. So with us going,
- 28:36Speaker 1: who's gonna help? But you know two P two, when
- 28:38Speaker 1: people get in front of these microphones, you violenttee information
- 28:41Speaker 1: like you was talking about Meek Mild other Yeah, and
- 28:44Speaker 1: you know how, I guess you kept meeting you wanted
- 28:45Speaker 1: you didn't want Meet Mild to sign with m MG.
- 28:47Speaker 1: And then Meek Mill retweeted it and was like, this
- 28:49Speaker 1: is a lot. Let's let's talk about that when we
- 28:51Speaker 1: come back. We'll talk about it when we come back.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Master Pins here eight hundred five eight five, one oh
- 28:55Speaker 1: five one. We got more with Pete. Don't move. It's
- 28:56Speaker 1: the breakfast club, and show me the breakfast club now.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Master p said he just pulled up on us this morning.
- 29:04Speaker 1: So the poor mis ladies and poor mins, we just
- 29:06Speaker 1: we put him in the green room for a sac
- 29:08Speaker 1: YadA left the og speed gotta let the SPI. So
- 29:10Speaker 1: you asked the question right before we went to break Yeah,
- 29:12Speaker 1: because you know, everybody gets in front of these microphones
- 29:14Speaker 1: and they volunteer information like I never knew you managed
- 29:17Speaker 1: you know, So I want to I want to I
- 29:19Speaker 1: want to tell you guys about that situation. So I
- 29:22Speaker 1: had an opportunity to manage Meek Mills. So first, I
- 29:26Speaker 1: don't know if you know Charlie Mack that was and
- 29:30Speaker 1: so Charlie Mac had him, and then you know he
- 29:33Speaker 1: Meek wanted to go a different direction, but Charlie MC
- 29:36Speaker 1: had him under contract. James called Charlie Mac. Then I
- 29:39Speaker 1: called Charlie Mac. I said, man, this this guy is
- 29:41Speaker 1: a star. Let him go. Do you know Charlie Mack
- 29:44Speaker 1: was with Will Smith? And so what happened was it
- 29:48Speaker 1: was my attorney Rick. But I want to clear that
- 29:50Speaker 1: up to where I had an opportunity. Me and James
- 29:53Speaker 1: signed to management contract. But I knew that Meek was
- 29:56Speaker 1: gonna be a boss at the beginning. He had that
- 29:58Speaker 1: song called I'm a Boss. He this was a talented guy.
- 30:02Speaker 1: But my attorney Rick did all the stuff for me
- 30:05Speaker 1: and me and Jane trying to management contract. And then
- 30:07Speaker 1: I ended up moving on because I thought that Max
- 30:10Speaker 1: should be on his own, which you know, he's a
- 30:12Speaker 1: Boston night all work out. But when I talked about that,
- 30:15Speaker 1: it was talking about feel you how like you could
- 30:17Speaker 1: feel and move on and go on, do do something
- 30:20Speaker 1: else and be successful. So a lot of people think
- 30:22Speaker 1: that we're just successful right off the top. What this
- 30:25Speaker 1: was all about showing people how you could feel God
- 30:28Speaker 1: give you a second chance and move on. Other than that,
- 30:31Speaker 1: I mean I got a number loving respect for me
- 30:34Speaker 1: because he reposted it and putting this is a lie,
- 30:36Speaker 1: but there's no context to that. So of course blog's
- 30:38Speaker 1: going run with that. Yeah, they they didn't get it,
- 30:41Speaker 1: but that's that's the truth. So I had an opportunity.
- 30:44Speaker 1: I walked away from it because I figured, like he's
- 30:46Speaker 1: the truth, which he turned out to be. So another
- 30:49Speaker 1: thing that you know, was something I didn't like me
- 30:51Speaker 1: and Charlemagne didn't like because Charlemagne as for daughters, I
- 30:54Speaker 1: have six kids. You and your son got into a
- 30:56Speaker 1: public thing online, which was really bossing because like I
- 30:59Speaker 1: tell everybody, no matter what, that's family business and a
- 31:02Speaker 1: lot of time family business. Take time to straight your
- 31:04Speaker 1: family business out. So you Romeo, y'all, y'all good at
- 31:07Speaker 1: seeing like now. So that's what I want to tell y'all.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Man all y'all have kids, so I wouldn't wish this
- 31:12Speaker 1: on nobody. I love my son, but you know the
- 31:14Speaker 1: world and change now. You ain't never say it hurt
- 31:16Speaker 1: me saying nothing about it. I just like like any
- 31:19Speaker 1: other fail, you you hurt by You don't understand that
- 31:21Speaker 1: you like what's going on, because everybody try to tell
- 31:24Speaker 1: us all how to heal. You're not gonna understand my
- 31:27Speaker 1: pain because you know, you could say Romeo lost his sister.
- 31:30Speaker 1: I lost a daughter. So it's a different type of pain.
- 31:32Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying that that could make somebody snap.
- 31:35Speaker 1: And so at this time in my life, man, I'm
- 31:37Speaker 1: just thankful. I'm moving, so I'm doing positive things. I
- 31:40Speaker 1: wanted to get out you know, because some people think
- 31:41Speaker 1: I should be a certain way. I can't say at home,
- 31:44Speaker 1: so I get out here and I just want to
- 31:46Speaker 1: think the people that's been with me. That's a part
- 31:49Speaker 1: of it is, but that you are not alone foundation.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I'm telling like, even we talk about us, I got
- 31:54Speaker 1: one person in here, pop that came to me and
- 31:55Speaker 1: say let's do a tour. That was Post Malone, like,
- 31:58Speaker 1: let's do a concert, not alone concert to help and
- 32:01Speaker 1: give back because this is serious and so nobody looked
- 32:05Speaker 1: like us. And so shout out to post Malone and
- 32:07Speaker 1: his manager Drake Man. I appreciate y'all, Like we're gonna
- 32:11Speaker 1: do things because this is real. Drugs is killing ovel,
- 32:14Speaker 1: culturing off kids, and also mental illness, and so like
- 32:18Speaker 1: a lot of people are going through that. You think
- 32:20Speaker 1: this because you got money or you are you successful,
- 32:23Speaker 1: that that your kids are immune to this. Like nobody's
- 32:27Speaker 1: immune from pain, none of us. Because my brother died
- 32:30Speaker 1: at nineteen, got another brother in prison, you know what
- 32:32Speaker 1: I'm saying. And my parents, my grandparently, my grandparents, and
- 32:35Speaker 1: they took us the church every every day, you know,
- 32:38Speaker 1: I mean every Sunday. So you're not immune from pain that,
- 32:41Speaker 1: none of that. I just think that it's it's it's
- 32:44Speaker 1: tough man for a family. So you're good now though,
- 32:47Speaker 1: because because y'all are South, I mean, if the world
- 32:49Speaker 1: knows y'all like y'all were best friends, you know what
- 32:51Speaker 1: I mean that, But think about look how the media
- 32:53Speaker 1: turn that and Charlemagne No, I mean, we came up
- 32:56Speaker 1: the Challemaine to talk about why Romeo wanted to get
- 32:59Speaker 1: off of growing up hip hop, you know, and then
- 33:01Speaker 1: people each other your flowers when y'all was up pair like, yeah,
- 33:03Speaker 1: I took that opportunity to think about it. That's what
- 33:06Speaker 1: we got to realize. Man, nobody's promised, so you got
- 33:09Speaker 1: to appreciate every day. It's a blessing. So when your
- 33:12Speaker 1: family men walk out that though, man, I'm like, for
- 33:14Speaker 1: me as a parent, I get it. My kids are
- 33:17Speaker 1: not gonna understand everything I do, or somebody else could
- 33:20Speaker 1: get into somebody in and tell them that, oh you
- 33:22Speaker 1: need to do this or you deserve I don't have
- 33:24Speaker 1: all the answers. All I can do is keep growing
- 33:26Speaker 1: as a man and keep loving my kids. But the
- 33:28Speaker 1: ones that are old, I got to let them go
- 33:30Speaker 1: and do what they gotta do, make their mistakes feel
- 33:33Speaker 1: get over it, like like like I did and so
- 33:36Speaker 1: but my younger kids, I think it's different because I
- 33:40Speaker 1: just taught them hard work. And so you imagine as
- 33:43Speaker 1: a parent, I feel accountable for whatever happens with my
- 33:47Speaker 1: kids because you know, okay, growing up, you wanted to
- 33:51Speaker 1: give your kids everything if you're successful. I think that's
- 33:53Speaker 1: what's happened with a lot of these hip hop parents.
- 33:56Speaker 1: So we have to change that and just teach our
- 33:58Speaker 1: kids hard work like other cultures do. And so that's
- 34:01Speaker 1: the that's the changes that I'm in. Like I'm working
- 34:04Speaker 1: on myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm growing as a parent.
- 34:07Speaker 1: And that's why I really got out of the entertainment
- 34:10Speaker 1: side of this and say, let me focus more on
- 34:12Speaker 1: the product side. Do you hate the entertainment sign? No,
- 34:14Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I think going for it, But
- 34:17Speaker 1: I still have to grow up. I want to show
- 34:19Speaker 1: people in this culture how we can grow up and
- 34:21Speaker 1: don't don't be afraid to see us where we're at.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to get older. Shoulder, man, you know,
- 34:26Speaker 1: I mean you're growing up in this You said you
- 34:28Speaker 1: wasn't talking the way you talk now, absolutely think about it.
- 34:31Speaker 1: You're not talking the way you used to talk now.
- 34:33Speaker 1: So why why people can't allow us to grow up
- 34:36Speaker 1: and get better? Because we're stronger together. And that's how
- 34:39Speaker 1: That's how I feel about this, Like we're gonna keep
- 34:41Speaker 1: one and I think that's what makes me and snoop
- 34:44Speaker 1: relationship so good because we realized that our lives are
- 34:48Speaker 1: not perfect, but we got to keep going. We got
- 34:50Speaker 1: My whole strength is just man, don't worry about it.
- 34:53Speaker 1: I don't have to know everything. I don't have to
- 34:55Speaker 1: be the boss everything. So I'm gonna show you the
- 34:57Speaker 1: product that was because you know, you think sometimes that
- 35:00Speaker 1: people get disgruddled when things don't work out the way
- 35:02Speaker 1: they wanted to work out. Well, I'm gonna tell y'all,
- 35:05Speaker 1: so many things didn't work out for me. I feel
- 35:07Speaker 1: so many times, but I didn't hold my head down.
- 35:10Speaker 1: So I want people When people say, oh, they with
- 35:12Speaker 1: no limits, it's so allays And I think that's what
- 35:14Speaker 1: people come around me. They want what I did twenty
- 35:18Speaker 1: years ago. But that was twenty years ago. How long
- 35:20Speaker 1: do a music career last, That's what I'm saying, Like,
- 35:23Speaker 1: so think about it when you pull up some of
- 35:25Speaker 1: these things on iTunes. Everybody got products on iTunes, but
- 35:28Speaker 1: that don't mean to sell it, so you know you
- 35:30Speaker 1: can invest in something. So that's what I'm saying. I
- 35:32Speaker 1: think we just got to be able to communicate. That's
- 35:34Speaker 1: why I said today it's gonna be a teachable moment.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Let's educate the culture how this stuff work. Because people
- 35:40Speaker 1: see you on TV, they think you're making millions of dollars,
- 35:43Speaker 1: but that ain't the truth. A lot of these people
- 35:44Speaker 1: are not making unless you at the top of the game.
- 35:47Speaker 1: But the people at the bottom is not making millions
- 35:49Speaker 1: of dollars. People in the music industry right now is
- 35:51Speaker 1: not making millions of dollars. The ones at the top
- 35:53Speaker 1: bar but you pull up You guys talk about it
- 35:56Speaker 1: all the time. The people that that are not making
- 35:58Speaker 1: money that superstars, their records are not selling that superstar.
- 36:01Speaker 1: But this is the problem that I have that we
- 36:03Speaker 1: got to change. We don't go at the other coaches
- 36:07Speaker 1: the way we go at our culture if we have
- 36:10Speaker 1: a problem, because I think what it is, we're sitting
- 36:11Speaker 1: down and eat and hang with people. Yeah, you break
- 36:14Speaker 1: bread with him. So if you look somebody in the
- 36:16Speaker 1: eye and you have a conversation with him in their mind,
- 36:18Speaker 1: master Peers, the person behind all of this, Master Pea,
- 36:21Speaker 1: the person cutting me to check the even family, think
- 36:24Speaker 1: about it. Family, when you're not where you want to
- 36:26Speaker 1: be at, you tell a family member no one time
- 36:28Speaker 1: they mad with you, they never won't talk to They're
- 36:30Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna put you up, they're gonna blast you,
- 36:32Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So I'm saying, well, guess what,
- 36:34Speaker 1: won't y'all go do your own thing? Then if you
- 36:36Speaker 1: don't like the balls, go be the balls. That's what
- 36:38Speaker 1: I did, and everybody can't be the bass. So that's
- 36:42Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's why Snooper is so successful to
- 36:44Speaker 1: where he took what he learned, what I showed him
- 36:48Speaker 1: and took it to another level. And that's cool, and
- 36:50Speaker 1: that's how we come to us. So I want to
- 36:51Speaker 1: show y'all. In June, and even with Snoop, Snoopers complained
- 36:55Speaker 1: about not getting paid from certain individuals, you know, from
- 36:57Speaker 1: death for all you who have held the publishing stuff
- 36:59Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, but that's a that's a common thing
- 37:01Speaker 1: for people to do. Yeah, people are gonna do it.
- 37:03Speaker 1: But guess what Snoop Now he went and brought the company.
- 37:06Speaker 1: See what I'm saying. So now we have Snoop Loops.
- 37:09Speaker 1: So this is bigger than I know a lot of people.
- 37:12Speaker 1: When we started, it was Snoop Loops. Right, Look, how
- 37:14Speaker 1: we feel people is like, oh, Snoop Loops, they gonna
- 37:18Speaker 1: they're gonna make y'all take it off the shelf. And
- 37:19Speaker 1: they did. Right. We came back and when you changed
- 37:22Speaker 1: the name to Snoop cereal, that's your second time in
- 37:24Speaker 1: this year, I remember who who? Yeah? I feel so
- 37:27Speaker 1: many times, but that's what it takes. So that y'all
- 37:29Speaker 1: don't realize I lost millions. Damn, I lost millions. So
- 37:32Speaker 1: and then but I figured the game out Brothers Food,
- 37:35Speaker 1: which is Snoop Calvin Brods. So think about it. When
- 37:39Speaker 1: you got when you got catalogs, You've got all these
- 37:42Speaker 1: different companies. Those are family brands. That's what we taught
- 37:46Speaker 1: each other how to build our own family brand. And
- 37:48Speaker 1: so Snoop is the founder of this, I'm gonna CEO
- 37:50Speaker 1: of the company. And so everybody got a job in
- 37:53Speaker 1: the roller. Fess why I get out of him from motus.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Let's think about it. We're feeding families with this. This
- 37:58Speaker 1: is not just about us. We take we tatling homelessness.
- 38:01Speaker 1: The more we make the movie gifts. So all right,
- 38:03Speaker 1: we got more with Master Pele when we come back,
- 38:05Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, think everybody
- 38:08Speaker 1: is DJ and V Charlomagne the guy. We are the
- 38:10Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Were still kicking it with Master Pen. I
- 38:13Speaker 1: don't worry our Drea lex P from The poor Man's
- 38:16Speaker 1: Podcast and here they're just on in the green room
- 38:18Speaker 1: right now and we're still kicking it a Master Pa.
- 38:20Speaker 1: I want to declare something up to because I don't
- 38:22Speaker 1: want people to take it the wrong way. Now, when
- 38:23Speaker 1: when you were selling Meek Mill not to sign with Ross,
- 38:26Speaker 1: it wasn't because Ross was bad. You would just saying
- 38:28Speaker 1: it's big enough to be independent. He could have did
- 38:29Speaker 1: it on his own. The thing about it, that's own.
- 38:31Speaker 1: I'm a boss, go back when time passed that someone
- 38:34Speaker 1: was already big. Then Ross got on the record. So
- 38:37Speaker 1: that's the only thing I was saying. Then Ross tell
- 38:39Speaker 1: tell y'all hisself that he his his business wasn't straight.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Now you got it together and look where yet now,
- 38:44Speaker 1: So that's why I was saying about feeling, Man, I
- 38:46Speaker 1: love these guys. I mean I want them, I want
- 38:49Speaker 1: I want I want y'all to be able to learn
- 38:50Speaker 1: from all out of the mistakes. So that's basically what
- 38:53Speaker 1: it's about. I think the Internet to take it and
- 38:55Speaker 1: run with it, and that's how we destroying each other.
- 38:57Speaker 1: So that's why I say I'm gonna focus his own products.
- 39:00Speaker 1: So that's the that's the And I got one last
- 39:03Speaker 1: question okay that I thought it was kind of kind
- 39:05Speaker 1: of crazy. So, uh, your brother was saying that he
- 39:09Speaker 1: was trying to get hold on the record, I was
- 39:11Speaker 1: trying to get jays and he said jay Z declined
- 39:13Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars. Was that true? You know what
- 39:16Speaker 1: I mean? That was Silk project. That's what I'm saying,
- 39:18Speaker 1: I don't that was so long ago, like that was
- 39:21Speaker 1: that was my brother. That's what I'm saying. So I
- 39:23Speaker 1: want to I don't want people to turn this into
- 39:25Speaker 1: gotcha you know. So there you go. So how would
- 39:29Speaker 1: you tell people like Trev even just how how should
- 39:33Speaker 1: they handle these situations? Something? Reach out to communicate with
- 39:37Speaker 1: the people. That's it. But I'm just saying, though, like,
- 39:40Speaker 1: don't just jump off when I like if I was
- 39:43Speaker 1: in the music even room, even room my own son. Yeah,
- 39:46Speaker 1: and so I mean, this is a big part of
- 39:48Speaker 1: all this. But it's like, Okay, that's fine. But I'm
- 39:50Speaker 1: keep telling y'all that's what the devil would do. The
- 39:52Speaker 1: devil want to destroy the people that's gonna get out.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Like my whole life, if you're gonna look at it,
- 39:56Speaker 1: has been about helping. I didn't say I've been perfect.
- 40:00Speaker 1: My life ain't been perfect. I had to move on
- 40:02Speaker 1: and change and grow. I'm trying to show people we
- 40:04Speaker 1: can grow. And that's what I'm doing right now. The
- 40:06Speaker 1: last thing, pe tell us all the things you own
- 40:08Speaker 1: and we can get because p you always got something
- 40:09Speaker 1: that we ain't bring. No sneakers today, p Oh, you
- 40:11Speaker 1: know what I got. So many sneakers go to menat
- 40:14Speaker 1: dot com right now, come on, I'm gonna stay shin that.
- 40:19Speaker 1: I ain't wearing no. But you know what, even the
- 40:21Speaker 1: sneak of business, right bro, I didn't spend so much
- 40:25Speaker 1: money trying. I even we got to be like the Chinese. Right,
- 40:29Speaker 1: the Chinese give your order, make you pay for it upfront,
- 40:34Speaker 1: and then send you the wrong side. You can't do
- 40:36Speaker 1: nothing about it. You can't do nothing about it, dog
- 40:39Speaker 1: like you just like okay, whenever I had to change
- 40:42Speaker 1: the sides on that. But but what I'm gonna tell
- 40:44Speaker 1: you what I'm doing next? Oh you got the sports
- 40:46Speaker 1: talk radio show. Yeah, it's called the Truth. And so
- 40:50Speaker 1: it's really just about being able to give that entertainment.
- 40:53Speaker 1: I'm growing. I don't want to go to ESPN and
- 40:56Speaker 1: nothing I want. I wanted to do this, learn it
- 40:58Speaker 1: and get better because I I want. I want to
- 41:00Speaker 1: be in the sports because people don't realize sports. It
- 41:02Speaker 1: was saved my life. So basketball really took me to
- 41:05Speaker 1: a whole another level. So being able to do this
- 41:07Speaker 1: in Louisville, I mean, oh, I gotta show y'all I
- 41:11Speaker 1: got more products, he got more stuff and Now this
- 41:13Speaker 1: is good. They're gonna tell y'allself it's good and for
- 41:15Speaker 1: everybody listening. P just pull up on us this morning,
- 41:20Speaker 1: and I got things to talk about. Man, let me
- 41:22Speaker 1: tell you something. Put this on for your pain. You
- 41:24Speaker 1: see what that's called. Oh, CBD oil key Promax, p Provax.
- 41:29Speaker 1: You rubbed that on, You got an eight pains. I'm
- 41:32Speaker 1: taking it away for real, I'm taking it away. I
- 41:35Speaker 1: got a product, product to product of town. And that's
- 41:38Speaker 1: what it is. Because think about it, right, when you
- 41:39Speaker 1: look at these Portun five hundred companies, right, we make
- 41:42Speaker 1: up a tenth or one percent. I'm talking about CEOs
- 41:45Speaker 1: of these Portun five hundred company and we spend trillions
- 41:48Speaker 1: of dollars as African Americans. Why we don't own nothing
- 41:52Speaker 1: control anything. Also, when you go to Shopify, you go
- 41:56Speaker 1: to Shopify, I'm not. I got a new company. It's
- 42:00Speaker 1: called lunch Car. And so now that's what I'm saying.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Shopify is a sixty three million dollars sixty three billion
- 42:05Speaker 1: dollar company. We gotta start thinking building things to compete
- 42:10Speaker 1: and and and be able to grow things and give
- 42:12Speaker 1: our people opportunity. And so that's what I'm doing. I'm
- 42:15Speaker 1: like constantly thinking and because we can't take none of
- 42:18Speaker 1: this with her, We can't take when you die, they
- 42:20Speaker 1: ain't gonna You know, this is a sad thing about
- 42:22Speaker 1: it too, y'all. When we do die, they're gonna talk
- 42:24Speaker 1: about how great we was. But while we're here thinking
- 42:27Speaker 1: about it. No, if Biggie and Tupart was here, man,
- 42:31Speaker 1: they'll be going through so much right now. But but
- 42:33Speaker 1: like even Nipsey, all the stuff Nipsey did, all of
- 42:37Speaker 1: a sudden, he went platinum when he died, we gotta
- 42:39Speaker 1: stop with be honest with you. For me, I ain't
- 42:41Speaker 1: gonna let him look at my face. They might as
- 42:43Speaker 1: well cream make me. I don't want no fakers looking
- 42:46Speaker 1: in my face talking about they missed me and all that.
- 42:49Speaker 1: I don't want it. Even everybody that died, that's an
- 42:52Speaker 1: entertainment this world are now looking at it. We didn't
- 42:55Speaker 1: appreciate the people why they was here, right, you know,
- 42:59Speaker 1: we gotta start appreciate each other while we're here. And
- 43:01Speaker 1: I think that's basically what it is. The journey is gonna.
- 43:04Speaker 1: I love the journey. I love the products, I love
- 43:05Speaker 1: creating things, and I love my people. And so if
- 43:08Speaker 1: I can educate my people. I'm tired of this. We're
- 43:11Speaker 1: just gonna entertain our people. Let's educate our people, because
- 43:14Speaker 1: the bide will say, pray for wisdom, master, p ladies
- 43:17Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Pete, we appreciate you for pulling up. Yes, sir,
- 43:19Speaker 1: it's the breakfast Club the morning, it's time for Donkey
- 43:25Speaker 1: of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Dunky of
- 43:30Speaker 1: the day a little bit of a mixture. So like
- 43:32Speaker 1: a donkey the other day. Bitches. Now, I've been called
- 43:39Speaker 1: a lot of my twenty three years, but Donkey of
- 43:41Speaker 1: the Day is a new wife. Donkey the Day goes
- 43:44Speaker 1: to a young lady named Madison Marie rus So. She's
- 43:47Speaker 1: nineteen years old. She hails from Iowa, and she is
- 43:50Speaker 1: the reason that when people send me go fund me
- 43:52Speaker 1: is my first reaction is go f yourself. Okay, you
- 43:54Speaker 1: know why because in this cash I've been Mozelle go
- 43:58Speaker 1: fund me era, people be kind instantly asking for things,
- 44:01Speaker 1: and they'd be asking for things that some of us
- 44:03Speaker 1: used to have to work to get. For example, you
- 44:05Speaker 1: don't need to go fund me because you need tin
- 44:07Speaker 1: on your windows. Okay, all right, thank you, sim all right,
- 44:10Speaker 1: don't you don't need me to cash, have you because
- 44:12Speaker 1: you want to go to Miami for the weekend? All right?
- 44:14Speaker 1: I used to get those kind of requests often, but
- 44:16Speaker 1: I think folks realize that's not the way to get
- 44:18Speaker 1: money out of people. The way to get money out
- 44:20Speaker 1: of people is to have a story, and not just
- 44:23Speaker 1: any story, a story that pulls out people's heart strings. Okay,
- 44:26Speaker 1: you gotta have a SOB story. I'm talking Cleo right
- 44:30Speaker 1: before she accepted that she was about to go out
- 44:32Speaker 1: in the blaze of glory and set it off. I'm
- 44:34Speaker 1: talking Ricky getting shot in the backing boys in the Hood.
- 44:37Speaker 1: I'm talking when Charlotte and Charlotte's Webb dies because she
- 44:40Speaker 1: has reached the end of her lifespan sidebar. Wilbur is
- 44:44Speaker 1: the reason Charlotte died, all right. She doing all that
- 44:46Speaker 1: damned graffiti with her web right now, full messages to
- 44:50Speaker 1: show how special Wilber was when the reality is his
- 44:52Speaker 1: fate was to be baking. Okay, wal poor Charlotte out
- 44:55Speaker 1: physically and emotionally. Charlotte sacrificed her own well being for Wilbur,
- 44:58Speaker 1: dropping a clue's bomb for Charlotte Chote what a selfless spider.
- 45:02Speaker 1: She was okay, but your story to receive money from
- 45:05Speaker 1: complete scranges have to be that sad, which actually means
- 45:08Speaker 1: it has to be that good. And this woman Madison
- 45:11Speaker 1: from Iowa, Oh, she's one of those people who had
- 45:13Speaker 1: a really good, sad story. This woman was able to
- 45:16Speaker 1: raise thirty seven thousand dollars from Daunus thirty seven thousand
- 45:19Speaker 1: dollars thirty seven recks. How was she able to get
- 45:22Speaker 1: this money? Let's go to News eight for the report. Please,
- 45:25Speaker 1: hi everyone, my name is Maddie Russel and this is
- 45:29Speaker 1: my story. A LinkedIn video of nineteen year old Mattie
- 45:32Speaker 1: Russo explaining her supposed cancer diagnosis. She claims she was
- 45:36Speaker 1: diagnosed with stage two pancreatic cancer, acute limphoblastic leukemia, and
- 45:40Speaker 1: told there was a football sized tumor wrapped around her spine.
- 45:44Speaker 1: Since then, Russo has talked about going through cancer with
- 45:46Speaker 1: the National Pancreas Foundation in Chicago. She's also been on
- 45:50Speaker 1: a podcast for Project Purple Online, a group on a
- 45:53Speaker 1: mission to find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Her stories
- 45:56Speaker 1: on both platforms have since been removed. A go fund
- 45:59Speaker 1: me fundraiser was started titled Maddie's Fight against Pancreatic Cancer.
- 46:03Speaker 1: Tom Bouland was listed as who started the donation page.
- 46:06Speaker 1: As you can see, it raised nearly thirty eight thousand
- 46:08Speaker 1: dollars from more than four hundred donors By Tuesday. The
- 46:12Speaker 1: go fund me page was taken down. Go fund Me
- 46:14Speaker 1: releasing a statement Tuesday saying they have a zero tolerance
- 46:17Speaker 1: policy for misuse of our platform and the group is
- 46:19Speaker 1: guaranteeing a full refund to donors. I really don't understand
- 46:23Speaker 1: people like her. If you could take the time and
- 46:28Speaker 1: energy to create this elaborate false story about having a
- 46:31Speaker 1: stage two cancer diagnosis with a tumor, then guess what.
- 46:35Speaker 1: You can write a script? Okay, you can write a novel,
- 46:38Speaker 1: all right, how about write about your dock side instead
- 46:40Speaker 1: of leaning into it. Because what happens in these situations
- 46:43Speaker 1: is you make it bad for a person who's really
- 46:45Speaker 1: dealing with cancer and would and who would love to
- 46:48Speaker 1: have thirty seven thousand dollars to deal with their medical bills,
- 46:51Speaker 1: but because of folks like you, Okay, folks like me
- 46:54Speaker 1: will come across these requests and deny them simply because
- 46:57Speaker 1: I don't believe you. You need more people. All right,
- 46:59Speaker 1: this one had a fake stash and medical supplies. You
- 47:02Speaker 1: know what I mean, Anne wigs in her apartment. Girl,
- 47:06Speaker 1: you could have been throwing place. Okay. You could be
- 47:08Speaker 1: the next Style of Period, the next Jordan Cooper, the
- 47:10Speaker 1: next August Wilson. But instead of being America's next top playwright,
- 47:13Speaker 1: you decided to compete in America's got your cameras. I
- 47:16Speaker 1: don't feel sorry for you, man, Okay, I just hate
- 47:18Speaker 1: to waste the talent because anyone who can come up
- 47:21Speaker 1: with lavish, successful schemes like this can use that same
- 47:23Speaker 1: time and energy figure it out a way to mix
- 47:26Speaker 1: some money legally. Okay. Also, I was born in the
- 47:29Speaker 1: nineteen hundred. Okay, yo old uncle Charlotte and took a
- 47:31Speaker 1: few laps around the sun, and I'm from the era
- 47:33Speaker 1: with certain things. I just wasn't pretending to be because
- 47:36Speaker 1: I didn't want to actually be. That's how it was.
- 47:38Speaker 1: I didn't want to park in the handicap spot just
- 47:40Speaker 1: because I had the handicap decap. Okay, I wasn't parking
- 47:43Speaker 1: in the handicap spot getting out limping because I was taught.
- 47:46Speaker 1: You played like that, you may end up handicapped for
- 47:48Speaker 1: real faking sick, no, sir, not me. Hell I tell
- 47:51Speaker 1: my kids that now. I don't play about stuff like that. Okay,
- 47:54Speaker 1: if something is really wrong, by all means, let me know,
- 47:56Speaker 1: but don't pretend, because you really might end up that way.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Madison nineteen years old from Iowa clearly got none of
- 48:03Speaker 1: thold lessons in life, and now she's facing ten years
- 48:05Speaker 1: in prison because she wants to lie. And I hope
- 48:09Speaker 1: maybe she can get at least six months, six months.
- 48:12Speaker 1: She can just be in there with some some tough women,
- 48:15Speaker 1: you know, some tough women that sleeping box of briefs. Okay,

- 48:57Speaker 1: That's all that scam scrap. Oh, come, that's it. What's
- 49:01Speaker 1: the background. We're gonna play games, Okay, Okay, I guess
- 49:06Speaker 1: it's time to play a game of guess what rati?
- 49:11Speaker 1: All right, Madison Marie Russo, nineteen years old of Iowa
- 49:15Speaker 1: did a scam where she said she had stage two
- 49:18Speaker 1: cancer and a big ass tumor. She got thirty seven
- 49:21Speaker 1: thousand dollars from donors. Guys, what ratio is completely white? Why?
- 49:31Speaker 1: Completely white? Not even off white? Just completely white white
- 49:34Speaker 1: completely not completely white? Him uh dj n Yes, Madison
- 49:39Speaker 1: Marie rosso Or nineteen years old from Iowa, U scam
- 49:42Speaker 1: thirty seven racks out of people by lying about having
- 49:45Speaker 1: stage two cancer diagnosis and a tumor. Yess what ratio
- 49:49Speaker 1: is white? I'm with you. Black people ain't gonna pay
- 49:54Speaker 1: with ale miss, like they ain't gonna say ain't got sick?
- 49:57Speaker 1: And then I don't think people are gonna get black
- 49:59Speaker 1: people money like that bad love. That's right. I just
- 50:02Speaker 1: had a whole conversation about how certain black people don't
- 50:04Speaker 1: want to go to the doctor. So I ain't about
- 50:06Speaker 1: to play about being what I'm saying. Both of you
- 50:10Speaker 1: are absolutely correct. I didn't send Marie Russo is completely white,
- 50:18Speaker 1: completely white the breakfast club and it was just something
- 50:25Speaker 1: about his charisma and his energy, Like whatever he said
- 50:27Speaker 1: he wanted to do in his life, thus far, he
- 50:29Speaker 1: had gotten it. So I was like, oh, this this
- 50:31Speaker 1: could be something. Did you know she was the one
- 50:33Speaker 1: he was the first time about Nah, actually, man, man,
- 50:44Speaker 1: that's gonna hit me with the Kevin Harten. I didn't
- 50:46Speaker 1: say no like that, like damn, we're talking our podcasts
- 50:49Speaker 1: and we said in the book like she told me
- 50:51Speaker 1: she loved me. After two weeks and I was like,
- 50:55Speaker 1: thanks much. I didn't know not turn off. It could
- 50:59Speaker 1: have been eighteen No, I said thanks. And the reason
- 51:03Speaker 1: why I said thanks and I still came back for
- 51:07Speaker 1: more after the things right, So he was the crazy one.
- 51:09Speaker 1: But here's the thing though, I said thanks because I
- 51:11Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to lead her on. Am
- 51:13Speaker 1: I going to be a liar and be like I
- 51:14Speaker 1: love you and then not know if we're gonna be together?
- 51:17Speaker 1: So I was like I didn't know what to say,
- 51:18Speaker 1: so I said thanks. It makes me think, like, can
- 51:20Speaker 1: you have a future someone if you can't see a
- 51:23Speaker 1: future with someone like you saw the future with him?
- 51:25Speaker 1: Yeah I did, And it's funny. It's just the vibe
- 51:28Speaker 1: I think that we had from early. It was just
- 51:30Speaker 1: talking about hopes and dreams, and he always spoke like
- 51:33Speaker 1: a guy that was just far beyond his years, like
- 51:35Speaker 1: even with plans for what he wants to do financially
- 51:37Speaker 1: with his life and his future. And he knew that
- 51:39Speaker 1: he didn't want to play football long term. He wanted
- 51:41Speaker 1: to eventually be an actor. So I'm like, well, how
- 51:43Speaker 1: are you gonna do that? He's like, I'm gonna ride
- 51:45Speaker 1: out on the scholarship. I'm gonna see if I could
- 51:47Speaker 1: make the NFL. If I'm at least on the practice squad,
- 51:49Speaker 1: I can make a little money to build a little
- 51:51Speaker 1: nest egg, move back to Brooklyn and get around so renovated.
- 51:53Speaker 1: We live on the bottom floor, like we had a
- 51:55Speaker 1: whole thing planned. That was the first date. We talked
- 51:57Speaker 1: about that on the first day. First day. And when
- 51:59Speaker 1: I think about it yourself, eighteen year old kids don't
- 52:01Speaker 1: speak about building their life like that. But when I remember,
- 52:04Speaker 1: if they think I was thinking like that at eighteen,
- 52:06Speaker 1: So did you ever think because he played football he
- 52:09Speaker 1: was an athlete, like, oh, he's gonna be one of
- 52:11Speaker 1: those Oh, absolutely absolutely. People warned me too, They were like, oh, like,
- 52:14Speaker 1: don't even get too involved, especially once time came for
- 52:18Speaker 1: the NFL and he was a prospect. They were like,
- 52:21Speaker 1: this is the part where you guys go your separate ways.
- 52:24Speaker 1: Let him. So was Willow, you focus on what you
- 52:26Speaker 1: gotta focus on, and if you make it out on
- 52:29Speaker 1: top after he's out there with these NFL groupies, then
- 52:31Speaker 1: maybe things will work out. And they went both ways.
- 52:34Speaker 1: They told me when I went to go play football,
- 52:36Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna wait for me. She was still in schools.
- 52:38Speaker 1: You get her masters degree. Everybody's like, you think while
- 52:40Speaker 1: you playing ball, she's gonna be sitting back at how
- 52:42Speaker 1: she just waiting for you to come back. And it
- 52:44Speaker 1: was part to me. I was like, dang, that's a
- 52:45Speaker 1: tall tax. And it made me insecure. Like there's a
- 52:48Speaker 1: story we talked about in the book when we couldn't
- 52:50Speaker 1: find her for a day. She was coming back from
- 52:53Speaker 1: tracks in Brooklyn. Yeah, it was like a little lounge
- 52:55Speaker 1: I used to go to every Thursday with my home girls.
- 52:57Speaker 1: And she ran into her uncle on the way back
- 52:59Speaker 1: and he was like, you're not driving back to Long Island.
- 53:01Speaker 1: You're gonna come stay when you know you were drinking
- 53:03Speaker 1: or whatever, and he was She's like, I wasn't drinking.
- 53:04Speaker 1: I'm gonna meal. So he went to stay. She went stay,
- 53:06Speaker 1: uncle fell asleep, left her car, her phone in the car.
- 53:09Speaker 1: She always calls me when she gets back. So now
- 53:11Speaker 1: I'm in the locker room, I'm getting ready for team meetings,
- 53:13Speaker 1: and I don't get no phone call. I don't get
- 53:15Speaker 1: no phone call at all. I wish woman understood that
- 53:19Speaker 1: what I really do not want you understand how that
- 53:21Speaker 1: makes us feel when you talk about it, bro, because
- 53:24Speaker 1: I used to tell her all the time, like how
- 53:25Speaker 1: do you not call me when you get places to
- 53:27Speaker 1: this day? So now I'm in the locker room, NFL rookie.
- 53:30Speaker 1: I didn't even get to practice. I didn't get to
- 53:32Speaker 1: practice because after that, her mom called me to, hey,
- 53:34Speaker 1: we haven't heard from now you cry? You cry? What?
- 53:41Speaker 1: No nasty snot? Somebody got my good man? Like I'm
- 53:47Speaker 1: crying balling. Then my mom calls me, Um, I think
- 53:52Speaker 1: you should come home. So now I'm thinking they found
- 53:55Speaker 1: her and they don't want to tell me because I'm
- 53:57Speaker 1: buying myself in Detroit. So I go to the security office.
- 54:03Speaker 1: I go to my the NFL securities office. I'm like, yo, um,
- 54:06Speaker 1: they can't find my girlfriend and they've been having issues
- 54:08Speaker 1: with people breaking in people's house, taking people's family members.
- 54:11Speaker 1: This happens in the league a lot. We're taking for ransom,
- 54:13Speaker 1: all of you. So they're like, all right, you know
- 54:15Speaker 1: we're gonna get our people involved. They called FBI, they
- 54:18Speaker 1: broke into her phone, they called campus security, broke into everything,
- 54:22Speaker 1: like text menures everything right, They're like, we have nothing,
- 54:24Speaker 1: We found nothing, like, we don't know where she give
- 54:26Speaker 1: me a time to man, how long? What's that matter
- 54:28Speaker 1: of dropped her? My friend? Another thing that you support
- 54:32Speaker 1: int to mention. This guy parked me into my parking
- 54:35Speaker 1: spot and wouldn't let me out the spot unless I
- 54:38Speaker 1: gave him my number. That's the last conversation she had
- 54:41Speaker 1: we had on the just like it was like, no,
- 54:42Speaker 1: I need your number, and I'm like, I'm really trying
- 54:44Speaker 1: to get this parking spot. So he was trying to
- 54:45Speaker 1: bullieve me to get my number, and I told him
- 54:47Speaker 1: that what was happening, So he thought for sure, homeboy
- 54:50Speaker 1: follow me. Yeah, And I wasn't even thinking to put
- 54:52Speaker 1: two and two together. So it's about maybe two am,
- 54:54Speaker 1: but a yeah, and literally as I turned the block,
- 54:58Speaker 1: I pull up and my uncle looks and He's like
- 55:00Speaker 1: ky and I was like yeah, uncle Emil big time.
- 55:02Speaker 1: Protected like you're not driving. He was like you about
- 55:04Speaker 1: to drive to Long Island and yeah. I was missing
- 55:10Speaker 1: for about two am to ten am and then she
- 55:16Speaker 1: got to her phone. It was just like, yo, what's
- 55:17Speaker 1: going on? Yeah? I woke up. I'm like, oh my god,
- 55:19Speaker 1: where's my phone. I get to the car and I
- 55:20Speaker 1: was like, oh, it's dead. The man I turned the
- 55:22Speaker 1: phone on. It's like forty eight text messages, thirty something voicemails.
- 55:26Speaker 1: My mom is in tears. She was like, don't you
- 55:28Speaker 1: ever do that again? Develos on his way home. I'm like,
- 55:30Speaker 1: what that part? And I was just wanting to make
- 55:34Speaker 1: it to practice lines got me to flight. Oh my god,
- 55:37Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm on my way to the airport. My
- 55:38Speaker 1: phone rings. At first when I was calling her, it
- 55:41Speaker 1: went dead. Now I'm like, they got her phone, They
- 55:43Speaker 1: turned it off. They sending me the voicemail. Then I
- 55:45Speaker 1: see a phone call from the boss. I got in.
- 55:47Speaker 1: There's the boss and I'm like, not about to ask
- 55:49Speaker 1: you for some money? Whoever? This is about I ask
- 55:51Speaker 1: some money? So I pick up the phone. Yeah, I'm
- 55:53Speaker 1: like I'm like who She's like, babe, baby, I tell
- 55:57Speaker 1: you everything I went through. Right, you would think my
- 55:59Speaker 1: wife learned right again, what happened this past weekend? Again,
- 56:04Speaker 1: it wasn't that she went to get a massage, right,
- 56:08Speaker 1: and she texts me, Hey, babe, I'm here. I'll be
- 56:10Speaker 1: on my way home. I'll be home at six. Right,
- 56:12Speaker 1: it's five forty five. I'm thinking she gotta be on
- 56:15Speaker 1: her way home. Of course, I'm calling like ten minutes straight.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Now I'm in a car, I'm about to pull out.
- 56:19Speaker 1: I get phone call. Hey man, I'm like, bro, I'm
- 56:27Speaker 1: my kids phone. My wife is sixty. I got through
- 56:30Speaker 1: sixty three sixty. You know what's crazy? But what pisses
- 56:33Speaker 1: you off the Moses, how nonchalant they act like it's
- 56:35Speaker 1: nothing learnt that black. I was just on the massage table. Man.
- 56:44Speaker 1: I don't know why our minds worked like that, but
- 56:45Speaker 1: we think the worst, worst possible, an argument like after that,
- 56:48Speaker 1: because now you kids just can't let her Liftc's the
- 56:51Speaker 1: second time you gotta give a grace you talk about
- 56:52Speaker 1: in the new book. You have to give you your
- 56:54Speaker 1: partner Greece. Yes, yes, that's the biggest thing for us
- 56:58Speaker 1: is learning how to communicate. You know, we came from
- 57:00Speaker 1: different communication style, polar opposite. I grew up at an athlete.
- 57:04Speaker 1: Nothing was ever good enough for my parents. They were
- 57:07Speaker 1: always being hard on me like that. Then my football
- 57:09Speaker 1: coaches extremely hard on me, but that made me successful.
- 57:12Speaker 1: So I felt like, if you love someone and you
- 57:15Speaker 1: want them to be successful, you should be hard on them.
- 57:17Speaker 1: So I used to be hard on my girlfriend if
- 57:19Speaker 1: I saw that she wanted to do something to send,
- 57:21Speaker 1: which she was like, how are we gonna do that?
- 57:23Speaker 1: She said she wanted to do TV. How are we
- 57:24Speaker 1: gonna do it? I'm on her, Oh, TV, they weigh
- 57:27Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty pounds. You need to be in
- 57:29Speaker 1: the gym. What are your grades? Like, you said you
- 57:31Speaker 1: wanted to do this, you need to record more content,
- 57:33Speaker 1: And she'd be like, bro, I thought I was doing
- 57:35Speaker 1: the right thing. And after five years of marriage, that's
- 57:38Speaker 1: when I kind of realized he was taking the football approach.
- 57:40Speaker 1: He thought it was like, I'm a teammate, yes, but
- 57:42Speaker 1: I'm not like a teammate on the football field. So
- 57:45Speaker 1: coming from a background where my family really like had
- 57:47Speaker 1: extensive conversations about anything, it was more so if something
- 57:50Speaker 1: happened you didn't feel so good about it. You feel
- 57:52Speaker 1: a way it'll blow over. Let's just sweep it under
- 57:55Speaker 1: the rug. So attacking things head on, communicating about problems,
- 57:58Speaker 1: talking about how you felt like this was a huge
- 58:00Speaker 1: learning curve for me. We're just figuring out how to
- 58:03Speaker 1: both of us just eloquently even expressed or formulate in
- 58:06Speaker 1: my mind, how to tell him how I felt about it.
- 58:09Speaker 1: So people see us now and they're like, man, I
- 58:11Speaker 1: want to find me a Devot. I want to find
- 58:12Speaker 1: me a Codeine. So we're like, well, Devalikade, you see
- 58:15Speaker 1: today is not the Devalide that first met each other.
- 58:19Speaker 1: This is twenty years in the making. We have more
- 58:21Speaker 1: with Cadein and de Vouls. When we come back that
- 58:23Speaker 1: book we over me. It's out today. It's the breakfast
- 58:26Speaker 1: club of morning. We're still kicking it with Codeine and
- 58:27Speaker 1: Devout Charlemagne. You know, in the book, y'all talk about
- 58:31Speaker 1: friendship and how friendship is the core of the relationship,
- 58:34Speaker 1: which I agree with too, But some people would say
- 58:36Speaker 1: a love should be the core of a relationship over friendship.
- 58:40Speaker 1: What would y'all say that? I would say this, More
- 58:43Speaker 1: friendships last than intimate partners. People have boyfriends and girlfriends
- 58:47Speaker 1: in and out of their entire life. But some people
- 58:48Speaker 1: have friends their whole life, and those friends are allowed grace. Right,
- 58:52Speaker 1: You have friends that may do something to you like
- 58:54Speaker 1: that's my homeboy. We'll figure it out. But a lot
- 58:56Speaker 1: of times when this love that's like you hurt me,
- 58:59Speaker 1: and when you hurt me, I can't take I can't
- 59:01Speaker 1: you know, rekindle that hurt. This is what we've learned
- 59:04Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. I no longer try
- 59:07Speaker 1: to validate my actions by dismissing the way she feels
- 59:10Speaker 1: about it, you know. And I think a lot of
- 59:13Speaker 1: times in intimate relationships, not in friendships, people do that.
- 59:17Speaker 1: If your friend is hurt by something, a lot of times,
- 59:19Speaker 1: as your friend, you'd be like, oh my bad, I
- 59:20Speaker 1: ain't mean to hurt your feelings. But then when your
- 59:22Speaker 1: girl does something or your girl's feelings are hurt, it's like, well,
- 59:25Speaker 1: I didn't mean to hurt you. I did it like this,
- 59:27Speaker 1: and you shouldn't be hurt. You can't tell people not
- 59:30Speaker 1: to be hurt by something you did. They didn't ask
- 59:33Speaker 1: to be hurt. They hurt. So what we've learned how
- 59:35Speaker 1: to do was just accept the other's feelings. You feel
- 59:38Speaker 1: that way, I'm gonna explain to you why I did it.
- 59:40Speaker 1: I didn't mean to hurt you, but I accept the
- 59:42Speaker 1: fact that you feel that way. And it's not just
- 59:44Speaker 1: a for a man to do to a woman. I'd
- 59:46Speaker 1: be wanting my feelings to be validated to you know
- 59:49Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, that's and that's the manliest thing
- 59:51Speaker 1: I can say about it. When my wife started to
- 59:53Speaker 1: validate my feelings and say she understands how I feel,
- 59:56Speaker 1: she didn't always agree, but she understood, I said, at
- 59:58Speaker 1: least if you can understand, can move forward. And that's
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: that's why I feel like friendship to me is the foundation,
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: because you have funds for life. Now let me ask
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: you know, what do you think about that? No? I think, um,
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: he's spot on with that. And it's funny. For a
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: while with Devout, I would encourage him to speak his
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: mind and say how he felt, and then at the
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: same time be like, man, you're bitching and moaning every
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: day about something like literally, I was like, since when
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: did the feeling she become what you said? We will
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: have been a discussion, right, And this is for the
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: first time in my life. I was just like, well,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, this is how I fell to
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: hurt my feelings, and I'm going through what I hurt
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: my feelings. She goes, sound like a damn it man,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: how do you respond? So me being a very immature
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: person as I am, I said, I don't got to
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: sound like a I can get me another because now
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: I'm trying to hurt her like we were like twenty
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: six immature. But and we tell these stories in the
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: book because we like to tell people the stories too
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: through the trauma. I'm not gonna make it seem like
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: everything was picture perfect, because when people fall into a
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: situation in relationship where they hurting each other, they feel
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: like I'm the only relationship going through this. And since
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: I'm the only relationship going through this, I'm gonna get
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: out of here. But nah, were just like, listen, that
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: hurt my feelings. That hurt my feelings. I don't mean
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: to do that. I didn't mean to say that. How
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: can we get back to what we want to do?
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: We try to. I try to encourage it now too,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: because I mean so often women are trying to pull
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: at their men to tell them how do you feel
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: what do you need? What do you want? And the
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: fact that I have a Husbandhod I think is sometimes
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: even an oversharer, like sometimes we just talk like for us,
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: marriage seems to be one continued long conversation, like it
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: just never ends, like we're always talking about something. So
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: that's the thing that's been our saving race for us.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: It's like just being upfront about how we feel off
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: the bat, so there's no guessing involved. Now he's acting now,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: or he's been acting for a long time now, So
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: did you ever have a problem with him lip locking
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: with others? How looky like this? Really? Well, let me
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: tell you, queen, queen, now we're extending my poorn vocabulary.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: But anyway, no, I actually I think because I understand
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: the industry and I realized, like, these sex scenes ain't
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: really nothing super sexy about it. I think about the
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: environment that he's in when they're actually filming that. Um.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: But a funny story. Two years ago, actually almost two
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: years he was filming an episode of Sisters or a
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: season of Sisters. So I'm simultaneously watching the episodes that
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: are on air, and he warns me that he has
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: this shower scene coming up with his coast or Crystal.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, all right, and he was
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: just like just so you know, like it's gonna be
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: a little intense. And I'm like, how intense is going
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: to be for BT? Like that's bet. So the episode
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: comes on and I see the valve got Crystal like
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: legs over his shoulder. She's up against the shower wall.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: It's a blue light and I'm then it's just going
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: and it's going and I'm like, oh, that's what we're doing, right.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: So I'm like, that's what we doing? Okay? Cool? So
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: what I did. I go on Amazon. I was like,
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: blue light bulb. So I ordered me a blue light bulb,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: a blue light bulb, and the lamp came to the door.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: I screwed that join in. He came home one day
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: before Valentine's Day and I was like, oh you hear.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: I went put that thing together, put the blue light on.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: We only had the air mattress in the bedroom at
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: this point. And let me tell you, got to work
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: in our son, Dakota the product of the Blue which
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: is kind of weird because it was inspired from a
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: scene between him and Crystals his godmother. Actually yeah, and
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: he's you know, born months later, So I can't tell
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: him that story. I don't think I'll save the I
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: can't tell him like, oh, you were documented. But I
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: will say this though, I'm very deliberate. I'm making sure
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: that she is in contact with the women that I
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: have these scenes were so for example, when we did
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: our chemistry read me and Crystal, Crystal face timed her
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: let her know beforehand, like, you know, we have some
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: sex scenes to me. I don't want it to ever
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: be a thing where she feels uncomfortable. You go to
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: a red carpet or you go to an event, and
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: that's the woman that I had a sex scene within.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: It's the first time you have a meter. It's like, nah,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: y'all have this conversation beforehand. I'm always respectful, especially to
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: my costars, like I'm never going to cross that line
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: because after the whole Me Too movement, you realize how
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: easy it is for someone to feel uncomfortable in your presence.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: Have you ever felt uncomfortable in the workplace. I've never
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable, to be honest, and I'm not going to
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: out anybody, but women are very sexual to as a workplace.
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: You know, they say stuff they you know, a woman, mate,
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: smack you on the butt if you know what I'm saying.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: If they think it's just that type of environment, and
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: you may feel comfortable as a man saying oh, if
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: that's what we're doing, that's what we're doing. But what
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: I equated to, which may not be right, is kind
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: of like I can make a joke on a white boy.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: If you make a joke on me about my blackness,
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pissed. Right if a woman says something
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: to me about my physique, I'm gonna eat that. I'm
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: not gonna now just comment about her body every time
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: I see her. You don't know that sounds crazy? Let
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: me ask your questions, right. So, people got on me
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: about a couple of weeks ago because my wife went
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: on a twenty day trip. Yeah I see, and they
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: were like, how dare you? How you let her go
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: on the scene? Would you let your wife go on
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: to twenty day trip? So here's here's my thing. I
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: don't know how she would survive without me and the
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: kids for twenty days and she would spend the whole
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: time calling me first time the kids and it wouldn't
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: out of me, right, me, I don't know how I
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: would survive without my wife for twenty days. If Kay
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: tells me she wants to do something, I'm gonna be
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: one hundred percent behind it. But it was also a
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: challenge to me six kids, no wife, I mean, and
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: you could do that, Bro, I'm just sixty. You could
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: do that. The math on work was hard. I ain't
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: even gonna third grade. Third grade because that's what the
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: common mass started to regroup of the common cord. Bro, Bro, me,
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: you're on everything. Me and Jackson almost came to blows
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: because I was trying to tell him old school carried
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: the one and he's like, no, you got to make
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: it go to ten. And they're like, I've been I've
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: been doing math my whole life. You put put the
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: one on top of that, cross the eight on and
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: he was just like no. I said, you gonna tell
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: me no, I'm your father. I don't care what your
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: teach to say. Who was right? He was right to
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: make all the equations go to ten for some reason? Yes,
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: And then it comes back around about answer when you
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: could have easily did it in three seconds. And I said,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: I am not having a stroke trying to figure this
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: out with my eight year old. Yeah, I've been getting
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: at assignment to my wife raised and they come home
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: like dad is bad. So we had Lola up here
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: against host and I see that I didn't see. Yeah,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: she came to mind it because her clip on people
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: not wanting to be married now or aspiring to me different.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's a case by case basis,
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: but it doesn't. It's not something that's highlighted is the
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: best thing all the time. Right, So I think the
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: val and I much like many other couples, because why
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: does this kept We're not an anomaly, Like there are
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: a lot of like you're a happily married man, happily marriedment.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: There are a lot of happily married people running around.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: So I just feel like by us sharing more of
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: those stories, it's a way to kind of help the
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: narrative around marriage, but also too, like I said earlier,
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: making sure people know, like do I aspire to marriage? Right?
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: You can't find somebody and be like, oh, well, this
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: person makes me want to be married, because what happens
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: that puts the onus on that person to always be
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: this perfect image of what you were, what they were
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: when they met you were, you know, and that put
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: that's so much pressure on one person. So what if
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: they falter, what if they change, what if they outgrow something?
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Then are you still a marriage person or not? You
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: know so I think you really need to decide, like
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: is that something you aspire to first and then go
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: from there. We have more with Cadeen and the vow Las.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: When we come back that book, we over me. It's
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: out today. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, The Breakfast
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Club body is DJ Envy Charlemagne the god ray j
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: Our co host. We're still kicking it with Codeine de
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: vois Chage Yea. I have a chapter called There's a
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: Marriage after this Wedding? Break that down. So while we
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: were writing the book, we had discussed what I thought
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: process was about getting engaged in being married, and Kadein
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: had admitted that she had never really thought about the marriage. Nope, anytime,
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: anytime I had conversations with anyone regarding marriage or the wedding,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: it was the wedding. It was you know, what dress
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: are you going to get? And who's the florist, and
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: it was the planning of the day. At no point
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: in time did anyone pull me aside and say kadein like,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: once you get married, here are some things to expect, right.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: You watch these Disney movies and it says happily ever after,
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: no one sees what happens after they ride off into
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: the sunset. So I felt like I was left in
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: the dark. I feel like it was a setup. I
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: felt like nobody prepped me on anything. And then I
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: think there was also a beauty in that though, because
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: I felt like if I were to get advice from
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: aunt's uncles or grandmothers, it might have also been their
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: jaded perspective of what their marriage was like, and I'm like,
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: that could have been a turnoff too. But it was
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: particularly difficult because I just did not think about or
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: plan for what life was going to look like after
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: the wedding. So the pressure comment had triggered a lot
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: of women because they felt like, oh, so she pressured
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: you to get married, And I was like, it wasn't
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: the pressure to get married. It was the pressure to
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: take care of all of the responsibilities once you decide
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: you're going to marry a woman. For example, I have
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: to save the money to get you a ring, I
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: have to decide how we're going to propose. I have
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: to decide after we get married, what else our life
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: gonna look like if we have financial issues. No one
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: ever says, what's your wife doing? They always look at
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: me as a husband and be like So there was
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on me to make sure that
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: I'm doing everything that I can to be the husband
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: and I want to be on top of that. Once
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: I proposed, I had got cut six weeks after by
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: the NFL, so I didn't have a job. So there
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: was a lot of pressure on me because I'm like, hey,
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: I was in the NFL when I proposed, and now
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: we're planning a wedding and I'm no longer in the NFL.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: How do I sustain the lifestyle of someone who was
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: making a half a million dollars a year when I
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: make no money. So yeah, there was a lot of
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: pressure on me. But I understand how a lot of
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: woman could have taken that word pressure and felt triggered
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: by it. But to me, I'm like, as the man,
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: I didn't care about the wedding at all. I didn't.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: I was focused on the marriage. I said, Okay, after
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: we get married, where we're gonna live. What are you
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: gonna do for work? What am I gonna do for
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: work all? We're gonna have children? How most men feel
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: because I look at it the same way, like we
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: spend all this money for this, Yeah right, if that,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: Let's do the future, Let's do the house, let's do
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: the savings investment, let's do this because that's just for
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: the show. Bro other day and James Wilson said, it's
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: my guy, let's get he said, me and my wife
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: got it together together on that come up. You know
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like we worry about things that it's
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: what you got a partner for. She's gonna be with
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: you if she's a real woman. That's the fact. I mean,
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: think about it. After the whole wedding situation happened and
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: then we went back, you know, the wedding was over,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: you know, it's spend for yourself. At this point, ye
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: Dive looked at me and he said, you know, I
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: don't want to go to Canada because he had an
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: opportunity to play ball in Canada. He said, y'all want
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: to start a business and maybe work towards this acting career.
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, well, what we gotta
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: do on everything? We had a house, I was in Michigan.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: It was on acre. Who's on an acre? Four bedrooms,
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: five bathrooms, living room, dining them everything. Now we're back
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: in an apartment in Crown Heights and she's on the bus.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: When I tell you my ego was freaking crushed, I'm like,
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: I should sit in the bathroom. Sometimes I go in
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: the bathroom, go on the bathroom. Babe. I'd be on
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: the toilet, just sitting there, just like like, how did
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: I end up back here? And I got this woman
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: that I asked to be my wife, and now she
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: got to go to the mall and work. Like imagine
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: you tell a woman, yeah, I'm gonna be an actor.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: I don't want to play football no more. I don't
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: know how I'm gonna be an actor, but I'm gonna
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: be an actor. A matter of fact, I'm gonna open
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: a gym. I don't have no experience in kinesiology. But
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: you tell your woman is and she goes, Okay, how
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: are we gonna do that? You gotta tell me that. Imagine.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: I know y'all both been through it. So when you
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: when you hear like when people say you know why
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: you love marriage so much? That's why I got a
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: partner row when when it was the worst or the worst,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: I could not right here, how many days did we
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: eat ritz? Yo? This is after the NFL grit Rist today.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: That might be why that's Jackson, our old listen loves
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: gritz and eggs like that's the thing. And it might
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: be because three times a day I was not trying
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: to go buy those stakes. The hungry buddy with you
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: on breakfast. You want breakfast, breast, gritsain eggs every day.

- 1:13:07Speaker 1: I love Sisters, man, but see I watched Sisters from
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: the perspective of a comedy. Oh for sure, you have
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: it is it's not the one way to do. Hit
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: the dude and he's spun around. Don't tell you. Let
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: me tell you the truth about Sisters. And when people
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: don't understand, do y'all watch telling novellas? No? I mean
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: I know, I know they are so Telling novellas is
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: a soapy comedy in the soap opera. So when people
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: first saw Sisters, they were just like, why is this
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: on parme time? Tyler put a soap opera on prime
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: time and added comedy to it, so it's like a
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: telling novella. That's why the numbers are so crazy. But
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: people who watch it don't understand. They're like, this is funny,
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: but it's not supposed to be funny. It's supposed to
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: be a drama. I didn't want you to hit care
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: here so much. I don't know, and it na she
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: mad disrespectful to the Teama. A lot of it is
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: the fact that people love for Teama so much and
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: she's the antithesis of what I need in a mental
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: They're like, you gotta hate her in order to love her,
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, it's a divine dichotomy. I can
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: love both of them at the same time. Yeah, but no.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: Divine economy is the fact that two things that the
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: opposite can exist at the same exact time, and people
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: often think that they can't. Right. So it's like my
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: ex and my current girl, I have to hate her
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: in order to love my girl properly. No, I don't.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: I can still have love for her. It just didn't
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: work out for us because she wasn't my one. This
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: one is my one. I have loved for her, But
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: I am in love with Fatima. And that's a great
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: question because on Twitter that's what I'm always arguing with people.
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: Why you still talk to Karen? Why would I not?
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: Every woman deserves respect, especially if she might be carrying
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: my child right exactly? This is why Charlemagne got the
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: good job, is always what they asked me. Why do
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: you still talk to Karen? Im? We have the travel
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: show coming out with the boys. It's coming out actually
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: this Friday, February ten, so make sure that's a good time.
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: Oh I do have one more question. How do you
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: feel about putting your family out there so much? So
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: as the kids get older, I'm not sure how much
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: more they're going to be out there. I'm just being up.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: It got to a point where we're asking Jackson like, hey,
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: do you want to be on camera? And the Jackson
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: say no, answers no because always yeah, Cass has always
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: been no. Chiro loves the camera. At first, this was
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: a way for me to share my life, like I'm
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: an artist. If I was a rapper, i'd be rapping
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: about my family, you know. But I'm starting to realize,
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: like my kids need to have say in what their
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: likeness is and just for safety prose too. Yeah that's me.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: I'm am a beer mo, so I have the time like, no,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: leave them out. No, even if people see it's in public.
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: For the most part, people are very respectful. They'll come
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: up and say from a distance, but they see it's
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: with the kids. They kind of know that, like, you know,
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: stay back and stuff. So we have a good strong
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: hate saying fan base. But supportive. But the kids as
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: they get old, especially going to school, traveling on their own,
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna phase them back. I don't want them
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: to have to walk around with security because their parents,
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: you know, I just don't want them to have to.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: I want them to live, phase all the way off
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: of social media and just shut the whole, the whole
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: joint down. Well, she never wanted to do social media.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: This is what crazy moments where I like go back
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: and forth about it, just because again, safety protectives, mama
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: bear all that. So we just try to take the
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: musures necessary. What we do involve them. But the travel
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: show was fun because it was something that we got
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: to do travel to the US a little bit with
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: the guys, and we executive produce all our content. So
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not about letting anybody else have autonomy
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: over my children's likeness or my family's Like yet of
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: stuff did we turn on a whole lot of stuff,
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: like our manage over it is in the corner to
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: be looking at us sometimes like really, y'all really don't
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: want to do that, And I'm like, I don't want
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: to do it if we can't control it. So um,
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: we're just trying to own this as best as we can.
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: And just you know, be we over me till we die.
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: We over me. The books out right now right, It's
