  Speaker 4: Good morning, guys. How you doing this morning? Good morning.
• 3:48
  Speaker 12: Good.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Peace to Misha Brown from Howard University.
• 3:51
  Speaker 13: Good morning.
• 3:52
  Speaker 14: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 3:55
  Speaker 14: largest injury law firm. So we start this morning with
• 3:59
  Speaker 14: less than a week left until the midterm elections. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 14: President Trump, he is raising new questions about whether he'll
• 4:05
  Speaker 14: accept the results. So speaking to reporters yesterday before leaving
• 4:09
  Speaker 14: for Texas, Trump was asked whether he would respect the
• 4:12
  Speaker 14: outcome of the election, regardless of which party wins.
• 4:15
  Speaker 13: Let's listen.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: President, if you do.
• 4:17
  Speaker 15: Not prevail in this election, despite having worked as hard
• 4:20
  Speaker 15: as you have, how do you intend to work with
• 4:22
  Speaker 15: Democrats if they have control of the House or the Senate?
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: We'll figure a way. Look, I have strong veto. I
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: hope that that won't be the case.
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: But if it is, that's happened before.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: With many presidents. You have strong veto and you end
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: up working our deal.
• 4:35
  Speaker 15: And you'll respect the results, whatever happens?
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: I will if they're honest elections.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: We already know he's not going to accept the results.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: OK, if the Democrats win Congress, the GOP could absolutely
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: refuse to refuse to seat them.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: But we know this already.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: We know he's going to say that the fight was fixed,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: even though all signs point to the Democrats winning.
• 4:56
  Speaker 13: For sure.
• 4:57
  Speaker 14: And those comments come as his administration continues taking legal
• 5:00
  Speaker 14: action over how the elections are being run in several states.
• 5:04
  Speaker 14: So the Justice Department, they pursued cases in Alaska, California, Washington,
• 5:08
  Speaker 14: New York. They're challenging voter eligibility and election procedures. Trump
• 5:12
  Speaker 14: and his allies, they say the federal government needs to
• 5:14
  Speaker 14: do more to prevent people who aren't legally allowed to
• 5:17
  Speaker 14: vote from casting ballots, but available evidence and all studies
• 5:21
  Speaker 14: show that non-citizens voting in U.S. elections is basically non-existent.
• 5:25
  Speaker 14: So just much to do about nothing there. And the
• 5:30
  Speaker 14: Justice Department says, though, it is sending thousands of federal
• 5:34
  Speaker 14: election monitors to polling places in all 50 states.
• 5:37
  Speaker 13: This isn't new.
• 5:38
  Speaker 14: The federal government has been sending monitors to elections for
• 5:41
  Speaker 14: decades to make sure that voters' rights are protected. But
• 5:45
  Speaker 14: some state officials are worried about whether these federal monitors
• 5:48
  Speaker 14: might be what they may be doing at polling places,
• 5:50
  Speaker 14: especially with President Trump repeatedly questioning whether the elections will
• 5:56
  Speaker 14: be fair. And one of those those people speaking out
• 5:58
  Speaker 14: this morning is Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.
• 6:01
  Speaker 13: He is, you know, voicing his concerns. Let's listen to that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, I do.
• 6:07
  Speaker 16: I think the tone is very different. The tone during
• 6:11
  Speaker 16: the Biden administration election. was cooperative to just help us
• 6:15
  Speaker 16: do what we needed to do to make sure we
• 6:16
  Speaker 16: had a good election. Now, it feels like the president
• 6:20
  Speaker 16: is using this as another weapon that he often deploys
• 6:24
  Speaker 16: against states that don't support him. And so I think
• 6:28
  Speaker 16: that the character and tone is very different, but it's fine.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: You know, we're here.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Are those election monitors going to be wearing masks and
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: tactical pants and ice polo shirts?
• 6:43
  Speaker 13: That is a good question. That is a good question.
• 6:45
  Speaker 13: What will they look like?
• 6:47
  Speaker 14: But there's so much concern, Char, about what that will
• 6:50
  Speaker 14: look like and that federal interference that a lot of states,
• 6:53
  Speaker 14: they are sending their own state monitors to watch the
• 6:56
  Speaker 14: federal monitors. So you'll have one group watching the other group, basically,
• 7:00
  Speaker 14: in many of these battleground states.
• 7:02
  Speaker 13: Coming up next week.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Nothing could go wrong there.
• 7:06
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 7:07
  Speaker 14: So anyway, but the Justice Department, they do insist that monitors,
• 7:10
  Speaker 14: they will not interfere with voting.
• 7:12
  Speaker 13: But clearly some states aren't willing to take that chance.
• 7:16
  Speaker 14: And lastly this hour, we talked about the retired New
• 7:19
  Speaker 14: York City police detective accused of killing a father of
• 7:23
  Speaker 14: two in a road rage incident last week. We talked
• 7:25
  Speaker 14: about how his charges were downgraded. But now he is
• 7:30
  Speaker 14: facing a murder charge. His name is 62-year-old Victor Romero.
• 7:34
  Speaker 14: He was indicted by a grand jury yesterday in the
• 7:37
  Speaker 14: death of 46-year-old Corrine Irving.
• 7:41
  Speaker 13: So basically....
• 7:43
  Speaker 14: They had some sort of road rage incident where they
• 7:46
  Speaker 14: collided into the same lane. Prosecutors initially reduced his murder
• 7:51
  Speaker 14: charge to manslaughter, but a grand jury has now brought
• 7:53
  Speaker 14: it back to a serious charge of murder. His supporters,
• 7:58
  Speaker 14: his co-workers were out there yesterday. They were rallying behind
• 8:01
  Speaker 14: that new call. He is free on bail, but he
• 8:05
  Speaker 14: is expected back in court November 23rd.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, how could that even be considered manslaughter in any way, shape,
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: or form? If you pull your gun out, and you
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: shoot at somebody on the road, that is intentional.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Definitely.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: First-degree murder to me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: Absolutely.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: There was no confrontation. The other brother didn't have a gun.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: There was nothing like that. Yeah, it should have been
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: murder from the start.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 8:25
  Speaker 14: So we will continue to watch that story. But this
• 8:27
  Speaker 14: hour of front page news is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan. Injured,
• 8:30
  Speaker 14: know your worth. America's largest injury law firm. A visit
• 8:33
  Speaker 14: for the people dot com. And coming up in the
• 8:36
  Speaker 14: next hour, if you shop at Dollar General, you may
• 8:39
  Speaker 14: be paying more than you should. We'll tell you why
• 8:41
  Speaker 14: the company is being sued and what you can do
• 8:43
  Speaker 14: to make sure that you are not overcharged.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you said that yesterday. My four-year-old,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I gave her a dollar not to sleep in my
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: room the other day. I gave her $ 2 not to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: sleep in my room. So she wanted to pay that off.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So we went to Dollar General. And she couldn't get
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: nothing for $ 2. There was nothing. She couldn't get nothing
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: for $ 2. I had to pay up.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: But it was all right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It was well worth it for her to sleep in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: her own bed. Whatever it took, hey, it is what
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it is. But the only problem now, last night she's like, Dad,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'll sleep in my bed for another dollar.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: It is what it is.
• 9:11
  Speaker 13: He started something.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: And I gave her that dollar again.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mimi.

  Speaker 11: convicting that cop.

  Speaker 9: I don't know.

  Speaker 5: His second degree murder.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they went from manslaughter to murder.
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he thought he was going to get 47's attention,
• 12:33

  Speaker 11: to Con Ed for supporting him yesterday.

• 13:03
  Speaker 7: Hello, who's this?
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: Hello, this is Angela from Indianapolis.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Hey, Angela from Indianapolis.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: Good morning, y'all. I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller. been
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: having trouble with my 15-year-old son. He's been smoking since
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: he was 12. I just found out, like, sufficiently. And then, like,
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: in school, he done got all S on his report card,
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: and it's just me. I don't know what to do.
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: I don't know how to get him to be more
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: motivated in school. His teachers say that he's not a
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: behavior problem. He just come to class, and he just
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: go to sleep. He end up being great.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Where's daddy at?
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: His daddy... In the wind. I call him my farm donor.
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: He ain't no good.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: What does your son enjoy to do? What does he
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: like to do?
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Smoke. Besides smoke.
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: Nothing. Like, literally nothing.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: Is he a gamer?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Does he like to play games? Does he like to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: go hang out with his friends?
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: He fell out with his friends. And I think that
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: he's grieving that friendship.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: They friendship.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: His friends... They used them, and then I think he's
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: really grieving that friendship because they've been friends since he
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: was in, like, sixth grade.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: You need to let him know that everything he does
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: today will directly impact his life tomorrow, and you got
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: to go find, like, some crackheads or, like, just some
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: straight-up bums and show him if you keep going the
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: direction that you're going, that's where you're going to end
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: up right there. Because literally, I always say, destiny's not
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: And he just needs to start making better choices. Yeah,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And also, I would take away the things that he
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: really enjoys and let him know he has to work
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: for those things. And I know it might be difficult
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: because you work, but this is the time where you're
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: going to have to be on his ass and be
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: there with him. And you might have to take him
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: out on a date night and go do things with
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: him personally.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: That's the thing, he don't really, he don't, he's not,
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: he don't, he acts like he don't like me.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Well, you're going to have to take him out regardless.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Do things that he enjoys. Smoke weed with him?
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: But you're not.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But if he likes movies, take him to the movies.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: If he's into cars, take him to car shows. If
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: he's into gaming, take him to gaming things. You're going
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to have to be there because if he has no friends,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: he has no outlet, you don't want the worst thing
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to happen when you're not there. So you're going to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: have to be that friend and do things that... I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: don't think you should reward his bad behavior, though. No,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't say reward his bad behavior, but I said
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: take things away from him and reward when he's doing good.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But she's going to have to be with him because
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: if he has no friends and has no outlets to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: talk to, she has to be that outlet.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: Listen, Evie, for him to get all asked, that means
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: he don't go to school and do nothing.
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Nothing at all.
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 15:46
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 15:46
  Speaker 20: And then when you say he don't like you, what
• 15:49
  Speaker 20: do you mean? Is he, like, nonchalant responding or is he, like.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: All the time. Like, I try to talk to him
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: to see what, like... See, like, I asked him if
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: he depressed. Like, if you, like, what is going on?
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: He said he's not depressed. He won't open up to me.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: I can't get him to open up to me.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Girl, it is not you.
• 16:09
  Speaker 20: That is literally what my son, he went through a
• 16:11
  Speaker 20: phase like that, and he's just now coming out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: He's coming out of it. He's not 15. He is 14.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: But from, like, 10 to 13.
• 16:19
  Speaker 20: That was Ashton. That was my son. And I think
• 16:22
  Speaker 20: it's a lot of other moms. that go through that
• 16:24
  Speaker 20: as well. He's just trying to figure out who he is.
• 16:26
  Speaker 20: He's trying to navigate this teenage phase.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Ash wasn't doing drugs, though.
• 16:31
  Speaker 20: Yeah, no, Ash definitely wasn't doing drugs. But I can
• 16:34
  Speaker 20: only speak to that part where she was like, you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 20: she think he don't like him. I literally wrote about
• 16:38
  Speaker 20: that in my book. I thought that my son didn't
• 16:40
  Speaker 20: like me either. But it's not you. Trust me, it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 20: not you. You got to lean in.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: I don't care if them kids like me. I ain't
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: here to be them kids' friend. You know what I mean?
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I'm your parent.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: Right, because my mother is the one who introduced him
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: to marijuana.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Damn!
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: So that's what makes him think.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: That it's, yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see, y'all are different over there.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: He was smoking over there way before I realized.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: He was smoking with your mother?
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: He was giving him weed.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: What are you calling from, Florida? Indianapolis, Indiana. I'm serious.
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: You tell him that if he continues to make the
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: choices he makes, then there's going to be an outcome
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: to that, and the outcome is not going to be
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: what he wants it to be.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: And guess what?
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: You cannot take that time back. My daddy used to
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: always tell me, you keep living the way you're living,
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: you're going to end up in jail, dead, or broke
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: sitting under the tree. And he would show me examples
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: of people that were in jail, dead, or broke sitting
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: under the tree. And that really did give me a
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: reality check.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And now for nothing, you might need to take him
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to rehab. If he's been smoking weed since 12, he's
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: probably halfway addicted.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: That's crazy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Like, that's ridiculous.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what?
• 17:43
  Speaker 20: She need to find some back in the day crackheads
• 17:44
  Speaker 20: because the new crackheads, they're not like the ones back
• 17:46
  Speaker 20: in the day.
• 17:47
  Speaker 18: Oh, no.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: They're not. No, it's the raggedy looking ones out here now. No, no, no.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: But I'm talking about the ones with wisdom, not how
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: raggedy they be.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: I don't need their wisdom. I just need you to
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: see how they living. And then you make up stories, right?
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: You see them and you be like, that guy right there,
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: that dude right there had a promising future. He could
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: have been, you know, the next president of the United
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: States of America, but he decided to smoke crack.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Yo, that's how all the crack kids stories are from
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: back in the day.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: They go high too.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: They say, yo, I could have been this.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: But the problem is he's smoking weed with his grandma.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Like him and grandma getting high.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: That's wild.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Well, sometimes you got to cut grandma off.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: How's you and your mother relationship?
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah. It's complicated.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: It's complicated.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: You can't be around grandma no more.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Was she ever a crackhead?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus.
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: Exactly, she was.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: A blonde, fart-pussing, bando-bouncing crackhead.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: You need to let your son know that. You need
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: to let your son know that your grandma used to
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: look like Beyonce. And now look at her.
• 18:43
  Speaker 12: Hey. Mm-hmm.
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: I appreciate that so much.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: But I would definitely see if you could get professional help.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: But I.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Would get professional help. He might need some therapy and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: definitely some rehab. If he been smoking since 12, you
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: need to get him off that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Sheesh.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: I'm trying. I'm trying.
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: Yes, ma'am.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: Good luck, mama.
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: Yes, ma'am.
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: Thank y'all.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: No problem.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: How bad was that little boy that grandma had to
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: roll up with?
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Grandma was like, boy, this boy won't go to sleep
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: for nothing.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Roll up some of this, man. Take a hit of this, man.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Jesus Christ.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: But at least she not.
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: On crack no more.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I will say that. She on weed.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And maybe that's why his friends ain't messing with him
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: because he smoke weed.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Probably a loser. No, you're right.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: The other kid's parents probably like, hey, I don't want
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: you around that little boy.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: That boy, that little loser.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: He always smell like weed since 12. That's crazy.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: All right.

• 21:51
  Speaker 21: believe that this is about the current father that she's
• 21:53
  Speaker 21: in this court battle with. The issue, though, is that
• 21:55
  Speaker 21: they have an agreement set up right now where neither
• 21:58
  Speaker 21: one of them are supposed to be publicly disparaging each
• 22:00
  Speaker 21: other or just making the issue even worse.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: She was hacked.
• 22:04
  Speaker 21: Well, there's a source that is saying that Halle Berry
• 22:06
  Speaker 21: did not post this and that they are investigating how
• 22:08
  Speaker 21: the post made it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: To her Instagram story. Why can't you repost the quote, though?
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Well, she could repost the quote, but if you.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: That's a general quote. It don't matter that I'm in
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: a custody battle. I could repost.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: That right now.
• 22:19
  Speaker 21: Yeah, but you are not in a back and forth
• 22:21
  Speaker 21: with the person that you have a kid with and
• 22:23
  Speaker 21: legally they're asking you not to... to post disparaging things
• 22:26
  Speaker 21: and say certain things that make this.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Harder for y'all.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: I think reposting from other people shouldn't apply to that,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: even if it is directed at the individual.
• 22:33
  Speaker 21: I mean, to be fair, she didn't ask nobody, but
• 22:35
  Speaker 21: everybody picked this up and, of course, they associated it
• 22:38
  Speaker 21: with the case.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Everybody should mind their business. She should have put it
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: in her close friends. It should have been a little
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: green circle around that.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Maybe she meant it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: That's what she should have did. It should have been
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: her close friends.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: If she did it, right?
• 22:45
  Speaker 21: Because there's a sort of saying that she didn't do it,
• 22:47
  Speaker 21: but if she did it, it should have made it
• 22:48
  Speaker 21: to the close friends. And how we know that her
• 22:50
  Speaker 21: baby father slash co-parent didn't hire somebody to hack her?
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: That's right. And do that. Oh, you know, I don't
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: know how her little badass son didn't do it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Trying to make mama look bad.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: She don't talk like that. Dot, dot, dot.
• 23:01
  Speaker 16: Oh, honey. Huh?
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Well, it was, it was a meme. She just reposted a.
• 23:08
  Speaker 18: Meme.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: It's only a matter of time for y'all to catch
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Holly Berry out somewhere smoking in Newport.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Y'all are stressing that woman out.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh. That wig is getting a little bit more and
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: more Whitney.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: You see what I'm saying?
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: That picture we saw last week, she looked very white.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Next picture we're going to see is going to be
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: her smoking a Marlboro, head leaned back, looking like Ben Affleck.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Not the Marlboros. Watch.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Watch.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she definitely did look like Matthew McConaughey. Whatever it is.
• 23:31
  Speaker 21: They were trying to reopen evidence and do all these
• 23:33
  Speaker 21: things in court yesterday because of this little mishap here.
• 23:36
  Speaker 21: Halle Berry's attorney said that this is just a witch hunt,
• 23:39
  Speaker 21: and they pushed back, and the judge denied the whole
• 23:42
  Speaker 21: reopening evidence and having a conversation.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Now, why would he call Halle Berry a witch?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: No.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Halle got too many white people around him.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: No.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: That's what this is about.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Continue on.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Why would her attorney say that?
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: Continue on.
• 23:52
  Speaker 21: In our next story during the latest with Lauren LaRosa. Jay-Z,
• 23:57
  Speaker 21: conversations about the Super Bowl are happening because it was
• 23:59
  Speaker 21: announced that he is going to be the Super Bowl
• 24:01
  Speaker 21: act February 14th in LA. So, Celia TMZ called him
• 24:06
  Speaker 21: leaving the Roc Nation offices and asked about the Super
• 24:09
  Speaker 21: Bowl performance.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to Jay-Z.
• 24:11
  Speaker 22: Jay, any pressure.
• 24:13
  Speaker 18: Preparing for the Super Bowl?
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: I don't have pressure.
• 24:16
  Speaker 18: Oh, I know that's right. No pressure at all.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that you moved the camera. Yeah, I would
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: never do that. Thank you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: So, Jay, what's the preparation like?
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Same as always.
• 24:27
  Speaker 18: Thank you so much. I'm excited.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Hopefully I'm there working on it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Salia was like Wile E. Coyote when he finally caught
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: the roadrunner. She didn't know what to do.
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: I know, right?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: You can tell.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: She didn't know what to do.
• 24:38
  Speaker 21: Because normally when she run into him, he's always nice
• 24:41
  Speaker 21: to her, but he don't really say too much. But
• 24:43
  Speaker 21: I think, honestly, I think from what I was told,
• 24:46
  Speaker 21: he had Rumi with him. And he put Rumi in
• 24:48
  Speaker 21: the car because it was like people outside. She took
• 24:50
  Speaker 21: her camera, put her camera away and didn't film. I
• 24:52
  Speaker 21: think he probably just like respected that.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: So he gave her a little something, something.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because he was smiling too.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Salia's a good person.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what's up.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: The pressure, I don't know about pressure, but he got
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: to be nervous a little bit.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: You don't get a little bit of just itch.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: A lot of artists say they get butterflies regardless.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: No matter how many times they've done it, they still
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: get a little butterflies when they perform.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: And this is the biggest stage. So some good anxiousness.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: But I think that if you stay ready, you don't
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: have to get ready. He's been performing for 30 years.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: He's been on some really huge stages all around the world.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: And more importantly, he's helped to prep all of these
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: shows for the last eight, nine years.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: So I would think he knows this Inside and out.
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: But you know who wasn't ready? Who? Shalia.
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: Shalia, yes.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: She didn't think Jay would stop. She didn't. Do you
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: feel pressure? The preparation question was cool. Yeah. But the
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: pressure question, like, come on, this guy's been doing it
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: for 30 years.
• 25:44
  Speaker 21: But that's a good human question to ask him to
• 25:46
  Speaker 21: make him just, like, stop and just talk to you.
• 25:48
  Speaker 17: Right?
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, it worked. He stopped.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: He spoke.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: But also, so yesterday, I.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: You know what would have been a good question for TMZ? What?
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: He should have said, Jay, we're excited to see you
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: at the Super Bowl. are the rumors that you couldn't
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: find anybody else for the Super Bowl true?
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: Even though we know that's fake. But, I mean, it
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: still would have been a good question, that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 21: Well, Salia, she listens every morning. Shout out to Salia
• 26:08
  Speaker 21: over at TMZ. So I'm sure she's going to try
• 26:09
  Speaker 21: to get that one in. But I think she probably
• 26:10
  Speaker 21: was prepping.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: She's about to jump in them shoes right now.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Or it could be an impression to beat the past
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls, right? Because Jay-Z, he... When he does his things,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: he's almost perfect with it, right? He strives for perfection.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: He wants it to be great. He wants it to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: be amazing. So to have that in a live show
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: for a Super Bowl, it might be a little bit
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of pressure.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: I don't think so.
• 26:30
  Speaker 21: Well, y'all know what ain't no pressure for Jay-Z and
• 26:33
  Speaker 21: Roc Nation? helping people out because yesterday I was told,
• 26:36
  Speaker 21: y'all know the three-year-old soccer player in Nevada that we've
• 26:39
  Speaker 21: been talking about?
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 26:40
  Speaker 21: I was told yesterday that Jay-Z and Roc Nation are
• 26:42
  Speaker 21: going to send him and his family over to Spain.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Y'all know that they represent some.
• 26:45
  Speaker 21: Of the biggest soccer players in the world.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: A lot of them based there.
• 26:48
  Speaker 21: They're working with Roc Nation Sports over there and they're
• 26:49
  Speaker 21: going to make sure that like they help him figure
• 26:52
  Speaker 21: out some opportunity.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I thought that was.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: Really, really sweet.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: That's pretty regular for Roc Nation, too.
• 26:57
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: That's dope.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Dropping a cool bump for Nevada and Roc Nation.
• 27:01
  Speaker 20: And that little soccer team, I hope they doing good, man.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Not that little soccer team.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: They represent a lot of soccer players.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Huge names in soccer.
• 27:10
  Speaker 21: Some of them actually are some of Nevada's favorites or
• 27:13
  Speaker 21: people that he watches, according to his mom. And they've
• 27:16
  Speaker 21: been talking about moving to Spain for some time because
• 27:18
  Speaker 21: of the focus on the game that he can have
• 27:20
  Speaker 21: over there.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: So this is a kickoff to that. And they have
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: a bunch of people reaching out to surround them. Imagine
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: the story of the little kid's guy.
• 27:25
  Speaker 20: And my dad and my mom called the police on
• 27:28
  Speaker 20: one of the best soccer players on my team.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Next thing you know, he's with Miss Rachel and Jay-Z.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you one thing, Nevada.
• 27:34
  Speaker 15: Crazy.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Ain't no changing the career direction now.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: You three years old, you sticking with this soccer thing.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: But now his team that he used to play for
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: is probably going to lose now because he was the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: best player.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: He was the best one. That's what I'm saying.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Now you got to make little Nevada leave and now
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: we lose over the rest of our game.
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Well, that's the latest, guys. It's brought to you by
• 27:54

  Speaker 4: They be killing it.

• 28:24
  Speaker 5: The Milwaukee Brewers.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the Brewers.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: The Brewers and the Rays.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: That's right. Last night was the game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: The Rays won 4-3. The World Series is now 3-1.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Tonight is the game at 8 o'clock.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: I think I saw.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Something where this is one of the lowest rated Super
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: Bowls ever or something like that.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: It's not called Super Bowl.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: It's called the World Series.
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: Whatever.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. Tampa Bay Rays.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: There ain't really a lot of hype around it this year,
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: like it usually is.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Because of the, respectfully, it's because of the markets and
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: the teams.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: But the Brewers back in the day was really, really big.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Big Milwaukee.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: The Brewers.
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah. All right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: What's up, Mimi?
• 28:55
  Speaker 13: Good morning, guys. How y'all doing this hour?
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: Hey, girl.
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: Defying low expectations, they say.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Mimi.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Go ahead and continue with your news.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Mimi.
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: I will.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get through this, y'all.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we are going to start in Florida, where
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: a mother of four is facing child neglect charges.
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: After police say she left her four year old, her
• 29:27
  Speaker 14: four children at home for five days and went to
• 29:29
  Speaker 14: Las Vegas.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 29:31
  Speaker 13: The police arrest.
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 29:32
  Speaker 14: Police arrested 50 year old Irene Miller as soon as
• 29:35
  Speaker 14: she got off the plane.
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: Two nights earlier, her child, her daughter called 911.
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: 9-1-1 from their home near Orlando and reported that a
• 29:43
  Speaker 14: dumbbell had fell on her little brother's head and unless
• 29:46
  Speaker 14: listen to police.
• 29:47
  Speaker 17: We get a 911 call from an 11 year old
• 29:51
  Speaker 17: girl saying her nine-year-old brother had been injured to leave
• 29:55
  Speaker 17: your children without any full-time supervision for that length of time,
• 30:01
  Speaker 17: for days.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: It's just a recipe for disaster.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: You said 9 and 14?
• 30:08
  Speaker 13: So the ages were 9, 11, 12, and 14.
• 30:10
  Speaker 20: And they were in there for five days.
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: They were in there for five days.
• 30:17
  Speaker 14: They said that when deputies arrived at the home, they
• 30:20
  Speaker 14: discovered that the kids were without an adult. The nine-year-old,
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: he was taken to the hospital where he was treated
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: and later released to his father. The father then said
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: that he would care for all of the children. But
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: the mom says that she didn't basically leave them alone.
• 30:33
  Speaker 14: She had someone come in the morning and check them
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: for school. And she had someone come and check to
• 30:37
  Speaker 14: make sure they got home. There was just no supervision
• 30:39
  Speaker 14: at night. That's not how that works.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, keep her ass in jail.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I like Vegas, but Vegas ain't that lit to
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: go away for no five-day trip.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: And it's always women from Florida going to the most
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: basic places, leaving their kids to go to the most
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: basic of places.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Vegas. Okay, Miami. Miami right up the street.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Right to Miami.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: Vegas.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: God damn.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: She might have wanted to gamble, but that sounds so stupid.
• 31:01
  Speaker 14: It does.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: It really does.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: It's very crazy.
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: Crazy.
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: Guess what race it is!
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Oh my God, can we?
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: No, she white.
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: She white.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 31:09
  Speaker 13: No, she's white. But the lady that did it last month,
• 31:12
  Speaker 13: she was black.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: But she went on a cruise.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: That's just as bad. They're both stupid.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: That's a little, I can understand a penitentiary chance for
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: a cruise. It's still stupid. It's definitely not justifiable. It's
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: still dumb.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: It's still stupid, but at least she went on a cruise.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: Vegas?
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: And their kids are better than my kids. After five
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: hours of leaving my kids by themselves, what? They calling me,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: they blowing my phone down.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you a question, Mimi.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: But isn't a 14-year-old legally able to stay at home
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: by herself?
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: That is a good question. I don't know what the
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: age is.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think that long, though.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: Not that long.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: And then with three little siblings like that?
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Hell no.
• 31:48
  Speaker 20: But that's probably what she was banking on, right? Like
• 31:51
  Speaker 20: the 14-year-old to care for all the rest of them.
• 31:53
  Speaker 20: But no, that's crazy.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: And like that 14-year-old don't got their own responsibilities.
• 31:57
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? Like what? That 14-year-old still
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: trying to figure life out. Exactly.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: That is wild.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: But if it was Da Vinci, everything would have been
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: running smoothly. You understand? And he would have been the youngest.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Take care of your body.
• 32:09
  Speaker 15: Oh.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: You are silly.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, y'all.
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: And so if you shop at Dollar General, you may
• 32:14
  Speaker 14: want to pay a little closer attention to your receipt.
• 32:17
  Speaker 14: The federal government and 20 other states are suing the
• 32:20
  Speaker 14: discount retailer, accusing it of charging customers more at the
• 32:24
  Speaker 14: checkout than the prices listed on the store shelves. So
• 32:26
  Speaker 14: let's say you pick something up for $ 3. That's what
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: it says on the shelf, but then you get to
• 32:30
  Speaker 14: the register, it is $ 4. Now, you may not notice
• 32:33
  Speaker 14: that extra dollar, especially if you're buying other things, but
• 32:36
  Speaker 14: federal regulators say that this has been happening for years,
• 32:39
  Speaker 14: and those extra charges are charging shoppers millions of dollars.
• 32:46
  Speaker 14: The Federal Trade Commission says Dollar General received tens of
• 32:50
  Speaker 14: thousands of reports of customer complaints about incorrect prices, and
• 32:53
  Speaker 14: according to the lawsuit, The company knew about the problem
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: but didn't do anything to fix it. And so Dollar
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: General has 21,000 stores across the country, including communities where
• 33:05
  Speaker 14: families depend on the discounted stores to stretch their money.
• 33:09
  Speaker 14: And so when you're shopping on a tight budget, even
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: a dollar or two can make a difference. So California, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama,
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: they are among the 20 states that are now joining
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: that lawsuit. And of course, nothing in the store is
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: a dollar worth. Everything has gone up, you know, inflation
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: and things like that. And so when you already add
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: something else to the, when you check out, people are saying,
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: you know, what is going on is just all over.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Girl, everything used to be free for me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: Everything used to add that dollar.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Dollar General.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: So when are we going to do our class action
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: lawsuit against Dollar General for false advertising?
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. That's coming.
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: Well, also.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: Well, Dollar General, they dispute the allegations, though, and they
• 33:47
  Speaker 14: say they plan to fight this case. So they are
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: saying that this is not true, but this is what
• 33:52
  Speaker 14: the Federal Trade Commission has, their investigators have found.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: That's what they're talking about.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: But even far below, like.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Ain't nothing $ 5.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying? Everything is over $ 5.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: That's what five below mean?
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Five and below. Everything used to be $ 5 and below.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I did not know that.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: I didn't know either. I thought they were talking about degrees.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: I thought it was.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Just a play on that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Everything was supposed to.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Be under $ 5.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: I did not know that. You're telling me something I
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: didn't know.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: You thought it was like a freezer when you were
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: in there?
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought it was just a play on the temperature.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: No, $ 5 and below.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: Everything is $ 5 and under. Oh, I didn't know that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: But with the world changing, you can't keep them to that. Exactly.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: Because at one time, everything in the dollar store was
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: about a dollar.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Was a dollar, yeah.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Now, times have changed.
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 34:30
  Speaker 14: Times have definitely changed. Nothing is basically a dollar.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: So just call it General.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Don't even call it Dollar.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Call it General. No, they already got that. That's the insurance.
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: Oh, Lord.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: But they do need to change the name.
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: Because people go to those stores like Dollar General, like
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: Family Dollar, because they think things are going to be a.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Dollar or at least in that, an affordable price range.
• 34:48
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: If that's not the case anymore, that's false advertising.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but a lot of it is cheaper.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Like I told you yesterday, I gave my daughter $ 2, right,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: to sleep in her own bed, and we went there yesterday,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and it was like... A lollipop was like this, but
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: everything else was very, very expensive.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: But you understand why. I understood why.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: You went to the Dollar General?
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I got her two things.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: I got her a candy cane with Krabby Patties. That
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: was like $ 4.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And then she got a bag of Hershey Kisses, which
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: was $ 4.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: So you can't.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Even get nothing for $ 2 there anymore.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: A lollipop.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: I remember being a kid, boy. You have $ 5. You
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: go into like a food line.
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: You ball out.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: We can get you like the 99 cent 12-pack of
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: oatmeal cream pie.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: That's like a $ 1. 04 with tax.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean? We'll get you a big...
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: three-liter bottle.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Of generic food line soda.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: That was $ 79 to $ 99.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: And you still got some change left to go play
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: an arcade game or something.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: $ 45 used to go a long way.
• 35:36
  Speaker 17: You heard me?
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Chips used to be a quarter.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Remember, you used to get a full bag of chips
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: for a quarter.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: And they had chips and it wasn't air.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Like, now they got air.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: Now it was a full bag of chips.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Man, we used to be a proper country. That's right.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: Even with the racism.
• 35:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, you know, here we are in 2026. All right, y'all.

• 36:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: I remember $ 3.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: 24. I used to sit outside the grocery store and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: help the old people with their groceries.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: They'd give me like $ 1, $ 2, $ 3.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, we used to be a proper goddamn nation. Yes,
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: we were.
• 36:15
  Speaker 20: And then I started working at McDonald's and I started
• 36:17
  Speaker 20: stealing and I was getting everything for free.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Bring home food for my family. That was one of
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: the days.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: You just made that up. I was bringing home food
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: for my family. Girl, you was 10.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Me and my son.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: When I worked at McDonald's. When I worked at McDonald's, dummy.

  Speaker 5: Morning, everybody.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: We are The Breakfast Club. La La Rose is here

  Speaker 7: as well. We got some special guests in the building.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, indeed.

  Speaker 1: We have Ashanti and Nelly back.
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: How y'all feeling?
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I am.

  Speaker 5: Good.
• 37:13
  Speaker 18: Feeling good.

  Speaker 1: you changing Pampers now, Nelly? Are you changing Pampers now?
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Man, I changed it when I said it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: It just wasn't a consistent change.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: It's like, yo, if the nanny's within his shot, I'm
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: paying for that.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 37:40
  Speaker 23: He actually changed his very first diaper.
• 37:42
  Speaker 22: We slept in the hospital room when he was born.
• 37:46
  Speaker 18: He popped up first to change the diapers.
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: What's up?
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: Get your one out of the way. That's before you
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: could smell the poop. They don't smell like nothing.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: How does reality TV change things? Or does it at all?
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: After doing a season, you know what I mean?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Well, we'd like to call it more of a documented television. Yeah,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: because we're basically telling our life in real time. It's
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: not like, you know, reality shows. You could be reality,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: but they try to.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Throw shit in there and make it.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? A little bit of what
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: is not. Ours is more documented in real time. So
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: as you see it, that's what we're doing in that
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: real moment.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: Does it change the dynamics of things? Like, you know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: you're looking like, you know what? I could do that better.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: You know, I might react too crazy to certain things.
• 38:28
  Speaker 18: Not for me.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: He looking at you crazy. He looking at you like,
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: what'd you do?
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: He's like, what'd you do? She's like, not for me.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, all right.
• 38:36
  Speaker 15: I'm like, babe.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: He's like, did he see you? I'm like, I'm good.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I don't have to do that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Nah, I think you, you know, you probably do some things,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: but that's period. You probably say some shit up here
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: and be like, damn, maybe I should've.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Every day.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: All the time.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: All the time.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Maybe I should've drew that one back.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: All the time. Maybe I should've said that like that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should've just kept that behind me.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: Maybe I should've.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: But, I mean, you know, it's out there.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: But, you know, our main goal is just to show positivity,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: especially in what's going on.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: You know, shit's crazy all over.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: And you want to show, definitely in our culture, you
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: want to show that, yo, you know, you could be married.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: in this business, and spread some love, some joy, work hard,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: and be prosperous.
• 39:16
  Speaker 20: Did y'all settle on where y'all wanted to live? Did
• 39:19
  Speaker 20: y'all decide?
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Because I know, Nelly, you went to St. Louis, you
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: went to New York. It'll never be settled.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Y'all won the championship. She trying to... She trying to.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: was going to ask, how y'all figuring out the love
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: life with the baby, right?
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Because the baby takes a lot of time.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: Then y'all both have careers.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Have y'all been able to figure out y'all times between
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: all of that?
• 39:43
  Speaker 15: Hmm.
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: They gon' nail you with that look.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: I don't care if you ain't here.
• 39:47
  Speaker 9: You gon' figure it out.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: And then Sheryl, you talking about some she got batteries.
• 39:50
  Speaker 18: Wow. Okay.
• 39:54
  Speaker 22: Well, we figured out some time last night because KK
• 39:57
  Speaker 22: stayed home, actually.
• 39:58
  Speaker 18: He's coming this afternoon. He's coming to the hotel with us.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: That don't stop you.
• 40:03
  Speaker 18: We had a little time last night.
• 40:04
  Speaker 15: Sheryl, turn your head, all right?
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, like, turn your head, son. Wait, I'm going
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: to go to sleep. About to do something deplorable.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: You know what you do?
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: You put the pillow.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: If you put the pillow next to him, that way
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: he can't see.
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: I'm married. I'm married. I'm in.
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: I'm in.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: I ain't got to be ashamed.
• 40:25
  Speaker 21: What about both of y'all being out on the road
• 40:28
  Speaker 21: and maneuvering so much, like, outside of the baby, too?
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Because that's one of the elements in the season two.
• 40:33
  Speaker 18: I mean, I try to take him with me as
• 40:34
  Speaker 18: much as I can.
• 40:35
  Speaker 22: I try to avoid too much back and forth on
• 40:38
  Speaker 22: a plane. Like if I'm in and out, I don't
• 40:39
  Speaker 22: take them. But if I'm gone for like two, three days,
• 40:42
  Speaker 22: I try to take them with me, you know, because
• 40:43
  Speaker 22: I don't like being separated.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Man, she can't do 36 hours.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Season one when you were going to go do the
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Christmas performance.
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: Girl.
• 40:51
  Speaker 18: I was like, oh my God. I think I was
• 40:53
  Speaker 18: exing Jessica.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: I was trying.
• 40:55
  Speaker 22: I was trying everything to get out of that performance.
• 40:58
  Speaker 22: I was like, no, I don't think we need to
• 41:00
  Speaker 22: do it.
• 41:00
  Speaker 15: Damn.
• 41:01
  Speaker 18: I was trying everything to get out of that. Yeah,
• 41:03
  Speaker 18: that was hard.
• 41:04
  Speaker 22: Has it gotten better? Yeah, it's gotten better. Obviously, he's
• 41:07
  Speaker 22: older now. I trust my nanny, which is my cousin.
• 41:10
  Speaker 18: And we have a village.
• 41:11
  Speaker 22: I got aunties and cousins and everybody that kind of
• 41:13
  Speaker 22: chips in.
• 41:14
  Speaker 18: So it's better now. And he can FaceTime. You know
• 41:17
  Speaker 18: what I mean? So we're in a better space now.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: You always booked. You always on somebody's stage.
• 41:22
  Speaker 18: Baby, got to. You know, it's a blessing. I'm very blessed.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Now that y'all got a family together, what does success
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: look like? Has your definition of success changed?
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know about changed. I think you want to
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: spread success. I think the goal is to spread success because,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you can be successful, but that doesn't
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: matter if you're not helping other people that you love
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: and that you care about be successful.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: Now, that don't mean that they will be. But at
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: least if you're trying, because you know how much you've tried.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: It's about trying, man.
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: It's effort.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: So I think that and, you know, we do a
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: lot of things within our own community. You're talking about
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: somebody who's on the board of the Boys and Girls Club,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: the things we continuously do in St. Louis with scholarships
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: and feeding families and helping with children.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Toy drives and all kinds of shit.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: I think that's the definition of success. I think the
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: more that you can do to actually change something.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Like, change something.
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: You know, you get a lot of people, I'm using
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: my voice.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: We got enough damn voices.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: We need some damn doers.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: We need some doers.
• 42:31
  Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: Has your idea of success changed?
• 42:35
  Speaker 22: I agree with everything he's saying, but I feel like
• 42:37
  Speaker 22: as a family and as a brand, we want to expand.
• 42:40
  Speaker 22: We want to continue to build the brand and the
• 42:42
  Speaker 22: empire and do way more things.
• 42:43
  Speaker 23: You know, we love music, but we also want.
• 42:45
  Speaker 22: To venture out, you know, film, television, just more projects.
• 42:48
  Speaker 22: And I think we're both on board with that, obviously.
• 42:51
  Speaker 22: the baby and just growing all of that in that aspect.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: So, yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: We're waiting on you to age, Ashanti.
• 42:58
  Speaker 17: I know.
• 42:58
  Speaker 21: Damn.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: I like it. I like it. I like it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: I like it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: I like it. I like it.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: Let mom take his time.
• 43:11
  Speaker 18: Let mom take his time.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Did you re-record your album?
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to re-record your album.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: Re-record all your music.
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: You did?
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So all the music that we hear now is
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: all re-recorded. How difficult?
• 43:23
  Speaker 18: No, we don't hear it yet.
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 43:25
  Speaker 23: You know, I'm in the process.
• 43:27
  Speaker 18: Is it done? Meat and potatoes done?
• 43:28
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: But obviously.
• 43:29
  Speaker 18: Uh-oh, is that my son? I'm so sorry. But obviously.
• 43:32
  Speaker 22: you know, little bells and whistles.
• 43:34
  Speaker 23: I'm coming back like, okay, let me do that better.
• 43:36
  Speaker 23: Turn the harmonies up here. I think we, you know
• 43:38
  Speaker 23: what I mean? So I'm kind of still in that state,
• 43:39
  Speaker 23: but the majority of it is done.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: How difficult was it? Cause I know when you first
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: did it, I mean, I'm sure y'all made mistakes. There
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: was errors and you can't replicate those mistakes and errors.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 43:49
  Speaker 23: So mentally it was a little challenging because it's.
• 43:53
  Speaker 22: Like, damn, I remember where I was and how I
• 43:55
  Speaker 22: felt when I was first recording this record, you know?
• 43:57
  Speaker 22: So when I went into redo foolish, when I went
• 43:59
  Speaker 22: into redo baby, it was like, damn, this is, You know,
• 44:02
  Speaker 22: it was good, but it was just like, wow.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: It was more emotional back then because it meant more.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 44:07
  Speaker 22: But just being in that mind state and then understand
• 44:10
  Speaker 22: everything that happened to this day from that day to
• 44:13
  Speaker 22: now and why I'm in here recording this or re-recording this.
• 44:16
  Speaker 18: It's a lot to think about.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:17
  Speaker 23: And it's crazy because you don't want to mess up,
• 44:20
  Speaker 23: you know.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: The classics.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:22
  Speaker 18: What I consider my classic, my baby.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: I don't want to mess it up.
• 44:25
  Speaker 22: So it's like you have to do something that makes
• 44:27
  Speaker 22: it a little different, but you can't stray too far.
• 44:29
  Speaker 18: You know what I mean?
• 44:29
  Speaker 22: Because you're like, people hear it and be like, that
• 44:31
  Speaker 22: don't sound like what I, you know what I mean?
• 44:33
  Speaker 22: So you got to, it's real precise.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you both created classic bodies of work, right?
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Where y'all can tour as long as you want because
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: y'all have those bodies. And then some of your pairs
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: don't have the same music or the same catalog.
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: Do y'all look at it and just be grateful?
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all got this?
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: Say it all the time.
• 44:48
  Speaker 18: Absolutely.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm pushing up on 30 years.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you don't get that a lot.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: 30?
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: It's about 27. 27 going on 28.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: 28 next year.
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: You know, you just.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly that, man. You look back and we just
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: got on tour. We going on tour together next year.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: So that's very.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: You know, very much a blessing.
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: Who closes that show?
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: I'm just kidding.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Nah, nah, nah.
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: Who opens up for you?
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: Who opens up for you?
• 45:15
  Speaker 15: Nah, listen, man.
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: I will open.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, you open.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Nah, I'm just saying.
• 45:21
  Speaker 18: Listen here.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Whatever gets the job done.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: But no, it's more of a collaboration.
• 45:26
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Of a collaboration tour and all of that. So, whatever
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: helps me sleep, man, you know what's going on.
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: Whatever.
• 45:34
  Speaker 23: We get to the bus after the concert.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: It's like, oh, you want to close?
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: Alternate nights.
• 45:41
  Speaker 22: Keep them clothes on.
• 45:43
  Speaker 20: I don't want to do any music together.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: Could be.
• 45:47
  Speaker 18: We got a couple of things.
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: Erykah Badu was having that conversation about how her music
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: is like Tupperware.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: Because it's just so, it's classic and terrible. She was
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: talking about how, you know, they don't really make any
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: new Tupperware. That's kind of like, y'all got classic, classic records.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: It's hard to do new stuff.
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: Well, the quicker we make records.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: The quicker they are to disappear almost.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: You see what I'm saying?
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Like, you go, you got, and it's not to knock, but,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: you know, you got people go in, they hammer it out,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: but it don't withstand anything. time like that sometimes.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Because the music, it's just music.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: It's not the music. Nobody's standing in line. We were
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: talking about that the other day.
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: We're very, very fortunate.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: We had people stand in line for two or three
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: hours to get our record.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: So physically buy the CDs, posters, stuff.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: Put a poster.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: That's commitment to investing in the artist.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: Now, you know, you don't have to do that.
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: It's a button.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: Boop.
• 46:41
  Speaker 18: Put that on my playlist.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: It's jamming.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: It's jamming for the summer, but then you might be
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: done with it.
• 46:46
  Speaker 18: That's what I was just going to say.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: We've been very, very blessed to have music that fans
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: continue to support.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about that music?
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she's got new music.
• 46:53
  Speaker 18: I've got new music.
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: I've done new music.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I'm constantly doing new music. We're working on new Lunatic
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: projects and things like that.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: We need another country vibe from you.
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: With who?
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: With the Lunatics.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: With the Lunatics. With the Lunatics.
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: Me, Murph.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: They figured it out.
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: Me, Murph, Kiwan.
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: And City, my little girl, City.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: Okay, so not the whole world.
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I consider that the whole world.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: 75% of it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: You know what it is.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: So the Lunatics, y'all got stuff done already?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Well, we got some stuff we've been working on, but
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: even with Metro, Metro was helping us with this one
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: as well, too. So, you know, he's from the Lou.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: So we feel real honored with that as well. And
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: he'll probably say the same thing about Versa because he
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: was a little one. But now he's.
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: The big one.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: You know, so, yeah, man, you know, we don't have
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: many in St. Louis, so to be able to put
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: something together like that would be dope.
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: Was there ever a period, Nelly, where you felt like
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: you was dominating hip-hop because you was selling the most records? Because,
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: you know, it's been this conversation the last couple of
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: weeks about, you know, who dominated what eras and what moments.
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: And your name has popped up because you was selling
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: the most records at the time. But did you ever
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: feel like you was the top guy in hip-hop?
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: I felt like at a point I had definitely arrived.
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: It's not up to me to decide. You know what
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: I'm saying?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: If you ask Michael Jordan, we all say Michael Jordan.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: We all say him.
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: He ain't going to say it.
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: He'll bring up Bill Russell. He'll bring up Kareem and
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: all of that because that's just the love that he
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: had for the game. Now, I know what I did.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: I know what I was fortunate enough to achieve because
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: even when you mentioned the country, when I wanted to
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: do country music, I did it in 03, 04. And
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I did it right after they had cut me a
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: nice check after Nellyville.
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: And my label was like, you want to do what?
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: They thought I was talking about another country grammer.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, nah, nah, nah, I'm talking Tim McGraw.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: They was like, wow, this kid is about to blow it.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: You know, but fortunately enough, it didn't do that. So
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: I understand the way that the game works. I wouldn't
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: say that I ran anything.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: Well, I would, damn it.
• 48:58
  Speaker 20: There ain't a lot of them that go diamond, damn it.
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: Thank you, babe.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: Thank you, sweetheart.
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: The first tour I was on was a Nelly tour.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: It was like a.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: 40-city Nelly tour.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: And it was Nelly selling out these arenas. And I
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: remember having, he had a fake Air Force One sneaker going.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: Through the crowd.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: And it was just stuff that people didn't have back then.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: And I was DJing for Fab.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: It was me, it was A.
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: Marie, Fabulous, and Baby. It wasn't even Lil Wayne. It
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: was Birdman.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Because Birdman was the big artist at the time. And
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Nelly sold out every single city.
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: But do sales alone make you the biggest?
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: People come in with band-aids on their freaking eyes.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about everybody, even me. Absolutely. There's a synonymous
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: culture with Nelly in his movements.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: Well, that would be the only thing that I would.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: If I were a voice, it would be like, yo, don't...
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I hate it. I don't like it when you don't
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: get your flowers for influence. It don't have to be
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: the music, but to say that, yo... like, when they.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Talk about who influenced and who did what and all of.
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: That, we know we influenced. We know, like, if you're
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: not a costume.
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: I was just about to say that. Like, we just
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: talked about that.
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: Like, are you f * * * ing kidding me? Like,
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: we're still a costume.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: People throw Nelly parties.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: You throw throwbacks to that era, first.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Thing a f * * * er want to do
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: is put a band-aid on their face and turn their
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: jersey backwards and put.
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: A do-rag on it. You know what I mean?
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Like, not like we invented throwbacks or anything like that
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: because that came along with the era we was in,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: but I think that part Because I wouldn't say that
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Thriller is Michael Jackson's best record.
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: Off the wall. Musically.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: But he created Thriller because he was pissed off. Because
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: they would not acknowledge him in other categories with Off
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: the Wall. So he set out to make the biggest
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: selling record of all time. So that's why commercially it's unmatched.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: I feel like when you influence the way people... dress, listen, dance, talk,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: and all of that, then yeah, you did some s * * *.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: But if it's just.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: About music, I just headlined damn near 50 cities last year.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: 20-something years later, who came out when I came out
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: that did that?
• 51:21
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 51:22
  Speaker 18: Tell him.
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: No, I'm just saying, who came out when.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: I came out that's headlining? I'm talking 10 to 15,000.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: I ain't talking about Tabernacle.
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying?
• 51:32
  Speaker 15: I ain't talking about the Fox.
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: I ain't talking about the Fox.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about who came out when I came out
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: that's headlining 10 to 15,000 a night.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: Like, we did that and still doing it. Yeah, man.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's the only thing. Like, It's not
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: just sales, but it's everything.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: Damn.
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: With all that said, we got to say Jay-Z is
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: the most dominant rapper of all time.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: What you mean? If you factor in the influence and
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: all of that type of stuff.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: That's where your name came up in the conversation.
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not knocking that. I'm not knocking that.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: He's got the right to speak.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: It's the same things, like I said, about Jordan.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: But he's the only other artist during that era that
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: can still sell out shows.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: He was before Nelly. Yeah, I know.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: But even from that time, because Jay was still hot
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: at that time.
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: He's still hot.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: But he's the only one from back then that still
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: sells out immediately.
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: Jay's before Nelly. Don't date Nelly.
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying that.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying when Nelly was out, Jay was still hot.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: I'm still coming at you.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on. I don't get to
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: call her Tay-Tay.
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: She calls her Tay-Tay. How'd that relationship come about? Oh, well,
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: I've been knowing her for a long time.
• 52:35
  Speaker 18: Her pops, her management, Robert.
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: Earl and.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Things like that.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: So, you know, she's popped out at some of my
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: shows and Dead Dilemma. I'm going to tell you like this.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: What really threw me, right?
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: She did Dilemma? Listen, man.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Dead Bum called me one night, just out of the blue,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: and said, yo, Nelly, listen. Me and my friends, we
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: made a routine to hot.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: In here last night, right?
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: She said, we made a routine to hot in here
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: last night. I want to ask you a really big flavor.
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: Now, I'm in St.
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: Louis.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: She's in Houston.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: She said, I got two shows in Houston tomorrow and
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: the next. Can you come down to Houston and just perform?
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: I don't want to disrespect you. I don't really have
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: a budget like that.
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: Now, listen to her.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: She says she don't really have a budget. She said,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: but what I will do, I will send my plane.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I will get your room and all of that. And
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: we only have like $ 50, 000.
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: I said, can you put.
• 53:37
  Speaker 15: That in a McDonald's bag?
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: I said, but I would have did it for free.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 53:43
  Speaker 18: So I was like, yeah, we're good.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Sent the G5, not four, five.
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: Sent the five.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Picked up me and the kids, flew us down to
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Houston because she was doing like three to four nights
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: at the baseball stadium.
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: 56,000 people.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: They got them rammed in there.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: No budget.
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: We did it. She was like, yo, three minutes.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Her father, Robert Earl, comes out, tosses me a McDonald bag,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: 50,000 cash.
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: Hey, how you doing?
• 54:04
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh, no shit. Okay, cool.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Now, the money ain't really the issue, but she was
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: just like, yo, the jet is there whenever you're ready.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: And she got us the presidential suite right there.
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: I think that's the Four Seasons.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: That's right there by the stadium.
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: Had the top. We never saw the room.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: We stayed at the show and went back to the
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: airport or whatever the case may be. So, I mean,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: for somebody just to call you up and, you know,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: me and my friends, we made a routine to hide
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: in here.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: We really want you to come out. Do you think
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: I'll stay?
• 54:34
  Speaker 15: Hell yeah.
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: I wish people understood longevity and consistency more.
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: Seriously, man. I don't think that's celebrated enough.
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: Relationships.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: People dupe relationships all the time, man.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: And I get more out of people because they like
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: me than for what I can pay them or what
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: you can do for them. And that's the thing in
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: this business that I think carries you a long way because.
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: If like you, they're hot. You know what it is.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: We talk all the time. Shoot the shit.
• 55:02
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: And you don't get that a lot.
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: What makes the hustle still there, right?
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: I was hustling before.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: But still, y'all good now.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Like the other day, not the other day, but a
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: couple months ago.
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: Whatever my baby wants, she gonna get it.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: I know, that's right.
• 55:14
  Speaker 18: She got the same hustle.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: The other day, she did something for Elton John. Then
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: she's changing her dress in the car.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: Then she's performing.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: On the stage for the Mayor of Newark. Then she's bouncing.
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: I'm like, when does the hustle stop?
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: Or slow down at least.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: Or slow down.
• 55:28
  Speaker 18: It's just you got that drive.
• 55:30
  Speaker 22: You know, when you're doing something that you love and
• 55:32
  Speaker 22: then you get money for it, it's like you take
• 55:35
  Speaker 22: advantage of that.
• 55:35
  Speaker 18: You know, we are very grateful.
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: And you still getting money for it.
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: What you said about Frankie Beverly is true.
• 55:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: I just don't understand why they don't want hip-hop artists
• 55:43
  Speaker 6: to do that.
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, Ashanti's on our beat. She's hip-hop. To me,
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: you're hip-hop. Frankie Beverly doesn't need no money.
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: How many white outfits can you get?
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: That man doesn't need no more money. He didn't need
• 55:56
  Speaker 5: no more money. It wasn't about that.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: It was about, yo, people don't understand hip hop artists
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: are artists too.
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: We invested our lives.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Into this craft.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: And why, if you still have people that, that want
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: to pay to see you.
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: It's about adjusting.
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: I will hustle so.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: She don't have to. Now, if she's choosing to go
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: do it, that's on her. But if she say, yo,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I'm done, so be it, ma. Like, it's not no ifs, ands,
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: or buts, but when she get ready, she know I
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: ain't stopping.
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: Nah, can't stop, won't stop.
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: Y'all want more babies?
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: It ain't like we ain't trying.
• 56:34
  Speaker 18: So stupid. I think one more.
• 56:37
  Speaker 23: I mean, I wanted a lot of kids.
• 56:39
  Speaker 18: Obviously, a long time ago. I said I wanted six.
• 56:42
  Speaker 18: Long time ago. That's not happening now.
• 56:44
  Speaker 23: But I definitely want at least one more.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: But you're going to have to chill out?
• 56:49
  Speaker 18: See, that's the problem. It's trying to figure out.
• 56:52
  Speaker 22: See, you know, Jessica, our kids are around the same age, right?
• 56:55
  Speaker 22: So it's like trying to fit that in. It's like, okay,
• 56:58
  Speaker 22: got the tour coming up. Okay, so if I get
• 57:00
  Speaker 22: pregnant by this time, I got nine months, and I
• 57:03
  Speaker 22: can hide it for this long, and then I got,
• 57:04
  Speaker 22: you know what I'm saying?
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: So I'm trying to figure out.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: She be trying to plan that out.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I just be in that going to work.
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: Just go ahead. Right, right, right. I don't know what
• 57:13
  Speaker 5: the clock is on.
• 57:14
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: She doing the responsible way. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out, like.
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: No one told me.
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: Your mother-in-law is right there.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: You can't do that.
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: She said they married.
• 57:26
  Speaker 23: Mama knows.
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: I had a couple kids myself.
• 57:28
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 57:32
  Speaker 9: Mama said, hurry up. I want another grandbaby.
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: I want to ask y'all, do you think that today's
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: artists even have the same opportunity to create the kind
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: of lasting connection y'all have with y'all fans?
• 57:42
  Speaker 23: It's hard because everything is through a screen.
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 57:45
  Speaker 18: You know, this is a whole new generation.
• 57:48
  Speaker 22: You know, obviously we did all of this without social media,
• 57:50
  Speaker 22: so it's completely different.
• 57:52
  Speaker 18: So that bond.
• 57:53
  Speaker 22: You know, our fans, that's why they love us because
• 57:56
  Speaker 22: they did get a.
• 57:56
  Speaker 18: Chance to touch it.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 57:59
  Speaker 22: Some of these fans of maybe newer artists, they may
• 58:02
  Speaker 22: not get a chance to touch and feel.
• 58:03
  Speaker 23: They may only see through Instagram. So that connection and
• 58:06
  Speaker 23: that bond might be very different.
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: What do you think, Nelly?
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: Everything is instant.
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: Listen. Keep it funky?
• 58:12
  Speaker 22: Yeah, please.
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: When you talk about relationships, it's going to be a
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: little different, right?
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: Because a lot of women.
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: There's not a lot of.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: Great men out here.
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: They've all been raised by women. Men have been raised.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: To almost not be with a woman, but almost to
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: try to.
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: Like they're kind.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: Of gay.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: That's what you.
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: Got to say.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of our black men, we have
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: let our mothers down and they had to carry a load.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: In actuality, that has reflected in you got generations of
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: men that are being like women instead of learning how
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: to be with women.
• 58:56
  Speaker 10: You know what I mean?
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: Or blaming women for everything.
• 59:00
  Speaker 8: They are.
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: It's kind of like what you just said.
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: They too sensitive.
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: I get what Nelly's saying. I get what Nelly's saying.
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: Because a lot of you was sex symbol, pause.
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: Women wanted to be with you and you wanted to
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: be with women. But you want to understand.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: That this is my wife.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: I want to open the door.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: I want to put my coat over when it rains.
• 59:25
  Speaker 5: I don't want like, yo, you better hurry up and get.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: In the car.
• 59:28
  Speaker 15: I get what he's saying.
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: I have always been yes, sir.
• 59:39
  Speaker 15: No, sir.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
• 59:40
  Speaker 7: No, ma'am.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: And like your mother-in-law just said, you're a gentleman. It
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: is different. Like you said, there's no, that was the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: perfect way to say it. There's no gentleman out here.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 18: He's been like that from the beginning. I remember you
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 18: didn't used to let me. carry the bags out the car.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: Like, you just couldn't grab the bags. Back in the day,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: this was back in the day.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 18: This was way back in the day.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: I met him.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: That's crazy.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 7: But that's what you should do, but that's how you
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 7: were raised.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: Were you like, yeah, go ahead. He was like, boy,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: why you grabbing my bag?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 22: No, but you know, we from New York, so we
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 22: used to carry, you know what I'm saying, doing our
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 22: own shit.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 18: He would be like, what are you doing? Maybe not
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 18: the purse, but the shopping bags.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 23: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: But you should, even when I pick up my daughter
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: from school, I take, the first thing I do is
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: I take the bag. Exactly.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: That's what you do.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: If you see him Doing like this with the trash,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going over, don't you take that trash.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 5: I got it.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 20: You know what I mean?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: Like, I don't know. My grandmother used to say, manners
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: will take you where money won't.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 10: Always.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: Further.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Because you don't give a damn.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: You might not let nobody in the club. I pay $ 1, 000,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: but you rude. Yeah.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: Right. When did you realize Ashanti's mother loves.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 11: You, man?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: That's my doubt. So she's the one you call when
• 1:01:07

• 1:01:56
  Speaker 22: to hurt you. You know, if you mean something to somebody,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 22: it's going to hurt. And that emotion, sometimes it comes out,

• 1:03:36
  Speaker 18: Again.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 21: Now, when I say the victim of A.I., the last
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 21: time we talked about Tyler Perry and A.I., it was
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 21: because there was a photo of him and Marlo Hampton
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 21: out at a brunch in Atlanta. Yes, kissing, but it
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 21: was not a real photo, even though the world picked
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 21: it up and ran with it. So it's happening again.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 21: About a year or so ago, Tyler Perry was on
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 21: a yacht.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: He was on a.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 21: Vacation in Brian Tanaka, who was known for working as
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 21: a backup dancer for and being the ex-partner of Mariah Carey.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: Brian Tanaka. Tanaka was on the boat as well, too.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: He's also Beauty in the Black. Beauty in the Black, girl.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: Beauty in the Black. Japa nigga. So they AI photos.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: He's Japa nigga on the show.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: Why they call him that?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: Because he's a Japanese nigga.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: Well, he's Japanese and black, you mean.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's what she means.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: Got you, got you, got you, got you.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 21: But the AI photos and these photos have been circulating
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 21: online to the point where like people are really asking
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 21: if these photos are real and they are not. Now
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 21: the photos are of Brian and Tyler Perry and there's
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 21: like a kiss that's happening in the AI photos. Now
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 21: these are not real. I just am here to say
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 21: you would think that I wouldn't have to, but I do.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 21: These photos are a year old.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 6: So that's why you're amplifying the story because you want
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: people to know it's not real.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, I want to clarify and let people know that
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: it is not real.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: And how do you know it's not real?
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: Because I know.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: But also, I've seen the original photo.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: Did you call Tyler Perry Studios?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: I just know it is not real.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: But you got to cite your sources, though.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: I just know it's not real.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: Sources told you.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: They were trying to say that this was Brian.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: Which one is the real picture?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: In the original, these are the original, in the original photo.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 7: Oh, they're just chilling.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're chilling. They're on a yacht just chilling.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: By the way, I wouldn't care if they're real or not.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: Who cares?
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, the people be all in Tyler Perry's personal business.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 16: So.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: That don't look like no damn Brian. Tanaka or Tanaka? Yeah.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: Because she said Tanaka. I don't know how to say
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: the last name, but.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: Tanaka.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: All righty.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: Now, moving on. Lil Durk.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 21: So, Lil Durk, you guys know the last time we
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 21: talked about anything with him case-related, we talked about the
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 21: fact that he was acquitted in the murder-for-hire trial. Well,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 21: there's still another case that he is facing over in L.A.,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 21: so he is still behind bars. And his team, including
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 21: Brian Steele and Drew Finlan, his illegal team, have put
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 21: in a bail package, which is basically where you put
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 21: together all this stuff And you ask the judge to
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 21: be released until you have to deal with whatever court proceedings.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 21: Right now, in this package, you just list a bunch
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 21: of different things that you're willing to put up so
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 21: that a judge knows that you won't flee. You'll follow
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 21: all the rules that the judge.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: Gives you while you're out.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 21: So in his package, it's pretty hefty. There's homes listed
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 21: in here. But a lot of people are pointing to
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 21: the fact that he listed a lot of his royalties listed.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 21: So Dirk is saying he is willing to put up
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 21: his royalties, his publishing rights, his name, image and likeness.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 21: So that includes any money from merch, branding products, commercials, documentaries,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 21: his touring income, any live performances. And they mentioned because
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 21: at one point they were saying that, you know, Dirk
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 21: would flee. And they're like, he can't even tour. He
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 21: can't perform, especially if he's on the run from you guys.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 21: So we're willing to put this up as well, too.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 21: And of course, they're pointing to the fact that he
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 21: was acquitted in the murder for hire trial.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: That's crazy.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: He got to do all of that when he just
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: got acquitted, you know, in the murder for hire trial.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: And if I'm correct me if I'm wrong, Lauren, the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: next case that he's facing heavily revolves around a lot
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: of stuff that was in that case.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of this is based upon the fact that
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: they said he allegedly tried to flee the first time.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yep.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'm just saying, he's been acquitted. So where
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: the hell is he going? I just got acquitted. I'm
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: not going nowhere. I'm in a good position. I'm probably
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: going to beat this next.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 16: Case, too.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 21: And they mention in this package that, like, you know,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 21: these last two years have, like, I mean, he was
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 21: already changing and being a positive impact or trying to be.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 21: And these last two years going through all this have
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 21: definitely changed his life. So he's not going to play
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 21: with them. Now, interesting enough, there's a bunch of letters
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 21: that were submitted to support the fact that he should
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 21: be released. One of the letters is from a woman
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 21: named Andrea Robinson, who is actually the mother of Savaya
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 21: or Savaya Robinson, who was the cousin of Quando Rondo
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 21: that was killed in that murder for hire trial case.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: Or incident.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 21: And it just says that on behalf of the family
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 21: of Ms. Robinson, that they do not object to Dirk
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 21: being granted a bond if deemed appropriate by the court.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow. Yes.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 21: There's also letters in that bail package from Rock Nation
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 21: signed by Jay-Z. They talk about, you know, how he
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 21: met Dirk several years ago. He was kind, he was respectful,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 21: focused on his career. What stood out the most to
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 21: Jay-Z was his success. Dirk was signing young artists from
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 21: the community, giving them contracts and like a real path
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 21: to legitimate industry and changing their lives. And then you
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 21: talk about, you know, the neighborhoods that we come from
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 21: and how a person like Dirk is needed. We also
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 21: have letters from Mike Rubin in there and letters from J.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: Cole. So it is pretty hefty.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 21: And all these letters are just, you know, a testament
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 21: to who Dirk is that people may not see in
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 21: this courtroom as these facts are presented.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 6: It's just wild that he got to do all of
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: that when he was acquitted of all charges. I don't
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 6: think nobody's trying to run the fleet of country when
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: you've just been acquitted of all charges.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 21: Well, we'll see what happens because the judge has to
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 21: decide on this. And if it is decided that he
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 21: gets the bond, the release can happen as early as
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 21: next week.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Well, the main one is probably going to be Rondo
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: Cuando's that letter, right? Because that's somebody that's a part
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: of the victim side and saying that they're not against
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: him coming out. So that's probably going to be the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: main one that hits the hardest.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 21: And as we wrap up, his team just wants to
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 21: amplify the fact that adding all these celebrities' names in
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 21: here is like, of course, you know, it speaks to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 21: its character because you know these people they're high profile
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 21: but what is most important is yes the family of
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 21: miss robinson but all of robinson but also the change
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 21: that has happened to him over the last two years
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 21: so we'll see what happens we keep you guys updated

  Speaker 6: Man, four after the hour. There's a young man, 15
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: years old. Anthony Rivers III of Tallahassee, Florida. He's the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: person accused of shooting up Pam U's homecoming the other day.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: So let's discuss.
• 1:09:32

  Speaker 5: No, never mind.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, October 28th goes to
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: 15-year-old Anthony Rivers III of Tallahassee, Florida. Anthony is the
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 6: person accused of opening fire near Florida A & M
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 6: University's homecoming celebration, leaving 11 people with gunshot wounds. Six
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 6: of those victims were minors. The youngest was just 11
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 6: years old. HBCU homecoming is supposed to be a safe space, okay?
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 6: And anybody who violates the sanctity of that safe space
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 6: should be punished to the fullest.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 5: Extent of the law, okay? Regardless of their age.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: Police say the shooting followed a physical altercation and the
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: people who got shot weren't even the intended targets. That's
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: usually how it happens. Let's go to WCTV Eyewitness News
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 6: for the report, please.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 12: We're gonna get started with that FAMU shooting. And this
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 12: is the person accused in the FAMU homecoming shooting from
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 12: this weekend. At just 15 years old, Anthony Rivers III
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 12: had his first court appearance this morning. He's now facing
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 12: 11 counts of attempted second-degree murder. RJ Harrison was in
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 12: the courtroom this morning and joins us live to tell
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 12: us the latest.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 15: What do you know, Jay?
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, Rob.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 10: Rivers appeared in juvenile court today, but is officially being
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 10: charged as an adult, according to state attorney Jack Campbell.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 10: He's being held at the Leon County Juvenile Assessment Center
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 10: and is now facing up to life in prison for
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 10: those charges.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 5: Now, a judge ordered that.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 10: He be held there until paperwork can be finalized to
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 10: have him transferred to the adult detention center. Campbell confirmed
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 10: that Rivers is classified as a, quote, delinquent under the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 10: court system, but couldn't go into detail about his criminal history.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 10: We also asked about how Rivers managed to escape the
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 10: scene and if there may be any other suspects. Campbell
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 10: said he could not give those details out right now.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 10: He says they're now in the process of trying to
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 10: connect with any witnesses that were there and could have
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 10: any valuable information.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: What did you always say about the great state of Florida?
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: all of Florida. Some say the only thing crazier than
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 6: a Florida man is a Florida YN. OK, 15 years old,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 6: facing 11 counts of attempted second degree murder. And prosecutors
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: intend to try him as an adult. I know that's
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 6: going to start a conversation because he's only 15. People
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 6: are going to talk about his age, his upbringing, his environment,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 6: whether his brain is fully developed and whether he deserves
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 6: another chance.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: Those are all legitimate conversations. But I have a question.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: Why do we spend so much.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 6: Time worrying about the childhood of the person accused of
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: pulling the trigger that we risk forgetting about the childhoods
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: of the people who got shot? OK, age ain't nothing
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: but a number. This is what your parents are warning
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: you about when they say.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: You want to act grown. You want to be out
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: here acting grown.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: You have to deal with these grown consequences. OK, Anthony
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: is 15.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: One of the victims was 11.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: 11 years old, that child should be worried about homework
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 6: and what they're going to be for Halloween not recovering
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: from a gunshot wound. Listen, I know this situation can
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: elicit a plethora of emotions, but the reality is you
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 6: can be a child and still be responsible for destroying
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: somebody else's childhood. I believe in rehabilitation. I understand that
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: a 15-year-old's brain isn't fully developed, but you don't need
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: a fully developed brain to understand that shooting somebody can
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: kill them, okay?
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 5: And somewhere along this yellow brick road of life.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 6: We started confusing understanding someone's circumstances with excusing their behavior, okay?
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: Two things can't be true.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: You can be a child who needs help and still
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 6: be a child who needs to face serious consequences, okay?
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: You can believe in rehabilitation without, you know, minimizing the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 6: suffering of victims.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know Anthony's upbringing. I don't know what he's
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 5: been exposed to.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 6: And I'm not going to make up stories of a
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 6: troubled childhood to explain what he's accused of doing. But
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: if these allegations are proven, whatever circumstances led him to
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: that moment does not erase the harm he caused. And
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: this all started because of a physical altercation. I was
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 6: born in 1978, and my whole life, okay, since I
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 6: was a young lad, they would tell us to learn
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 6: to use our hands, put the guns down and fight.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: Did you not watch the movie Friday?
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: Okay, see, y'all thought Friday was just a comedy, when
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: in reality, it delivered some of the best social commentary
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: on gun violence.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 5: Let's listen. No ideas around here.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 19: Oh, no, son, that's not the way it is. You
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 19: kids today are nothing but punks, sissified, so quick to
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 19: pick up a gun. You're scared to take an ass
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 19: with me. This is what makes you a man. When
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 19: I was growing up, this was all the protection we needed.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: You win some, you lose some. But you live.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 19: You live to fight another day. You think you're a
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 19: man with a gun in your hand, don't you? I'm
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 19: a man without it.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 5: Put the gun down. Put up your dukes.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 9: Now you're a man.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: You've got a choice. These are all you need.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 6: You win some, you lose some, but you live to
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 6: fight another day. I don't know who started it or
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: what was said, but an argument between kids shouldn't end
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: with 11 people getting shot, okay? Some of these young
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 6: people have access to grown man weapons. Without the emotional
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: maturity to handle teenage disagreements.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 5: And that's a dangerous combination.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: OK, that's why we stay away from these YNs. But
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 6: we can't because these youngins are our responsibility. OK, can't
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: talk about what these kids don't know if we aren't
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: teaching them. Which brings me to another question. How did
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 6: a 15 year old get a gun? Where did it
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: come from? Did any adults know he had access to it?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: Because if somebody helped put that weapon in his hands,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: they deserve punishment, too. Also, I can hear some of
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 6: you out there saying he's only 15.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: He shouldn't be tried as an adult by a humbug.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 6: OK, I'm not saying every child accused of a violent
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 6: crime should automatically be tried as an adult.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 5: Age matters.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 6: Rehabilitation matters. But so do victims. And we can't have
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 6: a conversation about justice. that focuses entirely on the future
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 6: of the accused while ignoring the futures of the people
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 6: who were hurt, okay?
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: You can make a.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: Decision at 15 that somebody else spends.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: Forever recovering from, okay?
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: And when that happens, being young doesn't undo the damage
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: okay anthony rivers the third is entitled to due process
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 6: these allegations have to be proven but whoever is responsible
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 6: for this shooting must be held accountable and i want
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 6: every young person listening to the sound of your uncle
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 6: charles voice to understand something i don't expect you as
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: a 15 year old to think like a 35 year
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 6: old but i do expect a 15-year-old to understand the basics, okay?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 6: That when you point a gun at somebody and pull
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 6: the trigger, somebody could be seriously hurt, somebody could die.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: You don't have to be grown to understand that, okay?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 6: And you damn sure don't have to be grown to
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 6: destroy somebody else's life.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: Youth may explain a terrible decision. It does not excuse
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: the damage that decision causes. Please give Anthony Rivers III
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: the biggest seahawks. Such a sad situation.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 9: So damn sad.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: So damn sad.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: And rest in peace, John Witherspoon.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: I was going to say that too, John Witherspoon. I
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: was looking on the wall to see if we had
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: John on the wall. Did we ever put John Witherspoon
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: on the wall?
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 9: No, John's not on the wall.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 5: Rest in peace to John Witherspoon. Rest in peace to
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: John Witherspoon.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: That was a very powerful message on Friday.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 7: It definitely was.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: Great social commentary around gun violence, you know, in that comedy.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 7: Yes, it was.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 7: Well, thank you for that donkey today.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am. All right.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Now, when we come back, who's joining us?
• 1:17:18

  Speaker 15: And anytime I get a chance to be around you, man,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 15: it's good for me.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 5: We talking about a couple of things, right?
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 5: Talking about the I'm In TV series. Yeah, yeah, man.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 15: We started this. Me, Vince, and Andre Hardy actually started
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 15: writing this about three years ago. Vince used to be
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 15: on the original I'm In TV show on the SyFy channel.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 15: And so we became friends, and he said, do you
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 15: want to write something with me? And I was like, no,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 15: I'm done writing right now. And then we started talking,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 15: and then I was able to add some of the
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 15: pieces of our history and our culture into it and
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 15: so we started writing.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: It man it was crazy we were thinking about doing
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: this other thing and we were on the way to
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: talk to somebody about that and i was like hey
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: man i was on this old show.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: The invisible man because i know you were.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah and then he was like i love that show
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: i said what if we What if we took that
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: show and played with Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, like through
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: the lens of that?
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 5: And then Resmaa was like, okay, go on. And then
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: Resmaa said, well, how about this?
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 9: Tell them what you said.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 15: So then I said, you know, what if we didn't
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 15: use the old techniques? What if we actually used the
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 15: cells that actually transformed.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: Him of Henrietta Lacks?
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 15: And then use that. And then part of the whole
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 15: thing is that black people reclaiming those pieces and it
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 15: shouldn't have been in his body in the first damn place. So, so,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 15: you know, so we wrote a whole, so we've actually
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 15: written a whole, uh, the whole first season. And what
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 15: you guys saw was the pilot and, uh, and the, uh,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 15: and the trailer.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 15: And so what we're doing now is, uh, so I've
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 15: mortgaged my house to do it.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 5: I didn't know that.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 7: That was new information.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 15: And, uh, but, but, and then we had my boy, uh,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 15: Charles come in who's, an Emmy award-winning editor, and he
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 15: saved our bacon.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 5: I'm going to ask you something, right? The Henrietta Lacks
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: part of it.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: Her story is one of the most disturbing examples of
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: medical exploitation in American history, right? Why was it important
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: to connect that history to this fictional world?
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 15: So I believe that fiction and sci-fi and stuff like
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 15: that offers more room for us than just doing something
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 15: like a documentary or something like that. We can do
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 15: more with it and it goes into people without us
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 15: finger waving, right? Before they know it, they're getting something, right?
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 15: That kind of disturbs them. And that's what we want
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 15: to do. That's what all of our writing was, right?
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 15: All of our writing for all of these three years
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 15: was not about storytelling, but story withholding. What do I
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 15: mean by that? We withhold pieces and with the mind normally,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 15: you know, I'm a social worker. What the mind normally
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 15: does is fills in the gaps and then you start
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 15: to want more to it. And so it was important
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 15: for me. It's important for me in any of our writing.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 5: You know me, man.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 15: Any of our writing, if I'm talking about if we're
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 15: talking about black people, it is important that we hold
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 15: fidelity to that. It is not a throwaway thing. So
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 15: when you're talking about black people's history, culture, what's happening
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 15: to black people, you have to hold it in a
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 15: way that allows for even the next generation to feel
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 15: like it's important, right? So that's why it was important to–
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 15: so there's three main things that contributed to this. So
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 15: it was the idea of Ralph Ellis' Invisible Man. Mm-hmm.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 15: It was the idea of Henrietta Lacks. And then also
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 15: the movie, and you guys know this, The Spook Who
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 15: Sat By The Door.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 4: It was just right now.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: About the guy in the room.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Charles, like, we filmed it. We
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 15: filmed what you guys saw in terms of the trailer.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 15: We filmed that, or in terms of the pilot, we
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 15: filmed that in three days, right? Because we had to, right? Yeah.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 15: So Charles was the one that actually helped us begin
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 15: to kind of like craft the story. We already had
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 15: the story, but Charles was able to take the visual
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 15: elements that we have and blend it together. So tell
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 15: us about it.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, sharpen it all.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 24: And the Henrietta Lacks thing, you know, it made it
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 24: physically and tangible. You know, it made it, you know,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 24: it gave it a real anchor that you could touch
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 24: that was in real life.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 5: It wasn't just, you know, something cerebral.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 24: So, yeah, I just went in there and it was
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 24: great because when they first brought me into the project,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 24: I didn't really know anything.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 5: And one of the most magical moments that happened in.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 24: Our studio when we were cutting this together, I know
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 24: you remember this because I'm always drilling as an editor.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: I'm always asking why? What's the motivation? Yeah.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 9: What reason?
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: Why do I care?
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 24: Is that really compelling? And as I said, why? One
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 24: of the greatest moments was when they were like, you know.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 24: Trust me, we don't actually really know.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 15: And so that left room.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 5: And Resmaa's a big proponent of the word room, as
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 5: you well know.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 24: He wants room to move and room for your thoughts
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 24: to expand and to explore.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 5: So I had that kind of room. What you saw
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 5: came out, came out. How did you guys feel about
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 5: what you've seen? It made me think about.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: Henrietta Lacks a lot and how her sales contributed to
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: so much medical advancement. But how do you reconcile all
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: the good that came from something that began with such a.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 15: Well, you don't reconcile it. It has to stay with you.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 15: That knowing that you had when you're... That's what we want.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 15: We don't want you to be settled with this.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 5: Because the moment you get settled.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 15: You go, it's not important.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 5: And that's how we stay here. That's how the system
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 5: keeps repeating because we accept it.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: And so that uncomfortableness... And think about it, too.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 24: If you're going to go back to the source, where
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 24: do you think you're going to end up?
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 5: Don't be surprised if you end up in a black
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 5: woman's cells.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 22: Right, right, right.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 5: Where do you think we started from?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: And it almost seems like a fictional story when you
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 6: think about it. This is the type of stuff you
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: see in movies already. It's like, they took somebody's cells
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 6: and used it for medical advancement. That really is not fictional.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 15: That's the part of it.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: I'm losing right out of my chair. I was like,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: what are you?
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 24: And then that's when Reza was like, I think my
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 24: work is done.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: So you learned while in the editing bay that this
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: wasn't fictional.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 24: I always, I'm specific about being completely blank when I
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 24: go into projects.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 5: I do not like to go on set. I don't
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 5: want a whole bunch of information. I like to be,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know what's happening. That's where I ask questions.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 24: And that's where I prove to myself, like I actually
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 24: can buy into what's going on. And once I bought
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 24: into it, bro, I was like, this is, This is
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 24: the most craziest thing I've ever seen.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: And then the performances.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, so I'm just excited. The end of
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 5: the world is at some point in that.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it's going to be some catastrophic event.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 6: I think that it might just be generations of people
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 6: who just have refused to heal.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 5: What do you think about that?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 15: Here's what I know. What I know is that this
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 15: planet has restarted itself five other times. That's what I know.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 15: I know that this planet and we are the result.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 15: The human, the Homo sapien is the result of the
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 15: last time it restarted itself, where there was a mass extinction,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 15: where there was 80 to 90 percent.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 5: I read where the seventh version of.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 15: That's exactly what there were. There were other species.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 15: But we are the we are the Homo sapien.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 9: Like they were.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 15: And here's the thing. There was a point in time.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 15: where the Homo sapien was on this planet with other
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 15: versions of Homo erectus, you know, there were other types
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 15: of hominids, right? But we're the ones that survived, right?
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 15: All of those extinctions that took place, all those mass
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 15: extinctions that took place, took place over natural occurrences. Something happened,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 15: you know what I mean? You know, too much something,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 15: too much water, not enough, right? This extinction is happening now.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 15: because of all of those combined, the pollution, the, the wet,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 15: you know, all of these are happening. So I think
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 15: there will be a mass extinction. I think, I think
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 15: it's going, there's going to be something that happens to
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 15: flip it over.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 15: I also think with the technology pieces, I think that's contributing.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 15: That's going to contribute to that. And, and I think
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 15: it's because white people who are in charge last 500
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 15: years are don't know anything about stewardship. They only know ownership.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 7: They don't understand stewardship.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 15: Our peoples, indigenous peoples, black peoples, we have been impacted
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 15: by this piece, but we understand in our bones, we
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 15: understand what it's like to tend to each other. The
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 15: hug that you gave me, we hadn't seen each other
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 15: for a while, but the hug that you gave me,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 15: a pelvic hug, right? It wasn't just the apron. You
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 15: hadn't seen me for a while.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: That's so crazy.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 8: I didn't know this.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, don't make this weird, man. So here's what I mean.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 15: This is where.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 5: This is what I mean.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 15: There ain't nothing wrong with me and you pelvic hugging, man.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 18: Right, man.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 4: I've been trying to tell, man. I'm sure Diddy feel
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: the same way.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: Listen, listen, y'all.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 18: Listen, listen.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 4: I love this dude.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 5: And we have.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 4: Been so captured.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 15: By this structure that for me to actually feel him
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 15: when he hugs me is something wrong.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 5: That's problematic. Like when you.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 15: Text me or I email you and stuff like that
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 15: and we chop it up for a little bit. That
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 15: matters to me. When I came in and we hugged,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 15: that matters to me. That's not a throwaway. And so
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 15: it is our job to reclaim those pieces. What I've
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 15: been seeing, I've been seeing this more and more, and
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 15: people haven't been picking up on this. I've actually been
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 15: seeing black men. say to each other i love you
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 15: have you noticed that it's been happening more and more
• 1:28:21

• 1:28:26
  Speaker 15: seeing black men actually hug like like what i said
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 15: intentional like intentional yeah that's how we that's how we
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 15: make our way out of this muck right It's not unpermissioned, right?
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 15: Part of the reason why they get to keep doing
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 15: this stuff is that we're too governable. we're too governable
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 15: we ask for permission even though we what can i
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 15: like we ask for permission and and the fugitive pieces
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 15: in us is withering the more we just do our
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 15: own thing the more we don't ask for permission the
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 15: more things will blossom the more the more i hug

• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy, Jess Alaris, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 16: Yes, sir.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: So, y'all, we have an update in that Drake, Janice....
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 21: Shut the F up song lawsuit remember there was the
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 21: producer his name is Aviel Hirschfeld he's an organ producer
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 21: who has previously worked with Drake on with some writing
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 21: credits with Beyonce but he said that the Janice shut
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 21: the F up chorus that we all know because the
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 21: song has been everywhere was copy written and stolen after
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 21: he copy wrote it it was stolen from him by
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 21: Drake now this lawsuit was everywhere it was picked up
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 21: everywhere now about 10 days maybe not even 10 days
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 21: since the lawsuit was filed that yawn was so inappropriate
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 21: It has been withdrawn. So now people are wondering if
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 21: his claims were even legitimate in the first place. Now,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 21: in a lawsuit with the course, I remember you asked me, like,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 21: do you have what he's alleging he put together?
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 21: So I received that from his attorneys when I talked
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 21: to them last week and they were very confident that
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 21: this was stolen from them. Let's take a listen to
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 21: the original Janice. Shut the F up hook first. And
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 21: then I'll play you guys what he says he wrote.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 21: So now this is the demo.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: That cough was rude too. This is the demo. Hopefully
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 4: he covered his mouth.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 21: That the producer is saying that he created and then
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 21: sent to some people around Drake for Drake to see
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 21: if he was interested and it was stolen from him.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: This is the demo.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 21: And that's the demo right now. They allege that this
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 21: demo was copywritten. They allege that they had metadata to
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 21: prove that it was copywritten and that it was sent
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 21: to these certain producers around Drake who were working with Drake,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 21: this producer duo. But a lot of people had questions
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 21: because it's like, why would Drake, who has been doing.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 4: This for some time.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 21: literally take something that is identical not credit properly all
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 21: these things and now.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 6: Again let's take a step back you mean you're talking
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 6: about as far as the business is concerned yes the
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 6: business of it drake been using the ghost.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 21: Right no i'm not talking about the art yes the
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 21: business side of it why would an artist like drake
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 21: subject himself to something like this was a lot of
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 21: the questions i even asked that when i talked to
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 21: the attorneys and they were like well there'll be more
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 21: coming out but now everything has been uh withdrawn voluntarily
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 21: dismissed I reached out for a comment yesterday to the
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 21: attorney for the producer, and they told me that they're
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 21: not commenting on this.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 4: So I don't know what happened in the midst of
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: all this.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: Somebody got some money.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: Somebody got paid off.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: He got paid to shut the F up and drop
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 5: the lawsuit.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: Because we are not commenting.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: That's what happened. Exactly.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 5: All right. That's what happened. Here, take this money, Aviel.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 5: What's his name?
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 4: I believe it's Aviel.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 5: Aviel, shut the F up. That's what they told him.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it was.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 5: Take this money and shut the F up.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 4: But that's scary. Took the whole jiffy from the dude.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 18: That's what he alleges.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: We just what sounds the same i mean it's not
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: but by the way who cares drake this is drake's
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: mo he's been doing this he's he's a rapper slash
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: pop star and pop stars get songs.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it, but you mean who cares?
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: What you mean who cares?
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 4: The guy care.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, sure.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying, I'm just talking about as far as Drake.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 6: It's not like it's going to hurt Drake in any way, shape,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 6: or form. We've heard plenty of Drake reference tracks that
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 6: he's gotten from other people.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: But damn, usually it's a little, you know, a lot different.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 5: No, it's not.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 7: But we don't know.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: But we don't know.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 7: Because this could be, you know, people get songs.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: Right. So this could happen before and then they just
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: didn't do the proper clearance for this one.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 5: Damn, bro.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 17: Okay.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: We will never know.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 5: None of y'all remember Quentin Miller, huh?
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: Poor Quentin Miller. But see, but having a ghostwriter and.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 18: Who was that?
• 1:35:08

  Speaker 6: Guide said this morning, once you understand projection, you stop
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 6: taking cruelty personally, okay? The way people treat you. is
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 6: a report on the war inside them, not a verdict
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 6: on you. Let their storm stay their storm, okay? Not
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 6: every hurtful action is a reflection of who you are.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 6: Sometimes people project their insecurities, frustrations, and unresolved pain onto
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 6: those around them. You can recognize their struggles without making
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 6: them your burden. Protect your peace, hold your boundaries, and
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 6: never let someone else's behavior define your own.
