  Speaker 1: School, boy. New York's just late on everything.

  Speaker 1: two weeks at the most.
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: But today is the first day, and it's a no
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: AI school day. So none of the kids want any
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: of the AI platforms or chats using them for anything.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's a big thing. But anyway, Zuri Hall
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: will be joining us this morning.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: My good sister Zuri Hall. Zuri Hall, she was on
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: Access Hollywood for many years. Access Hollywood is coming to
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: an end, but she's also on American Ninja Warrior. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: she's launching a YouTube series called Not About Sports.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So she'll be here to talk about that series. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: so much more.
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: Yes.

  Speaker 1: And so much more.

  Speaker 6: Now, we got front page news coming up. And, of course,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: get it off your chest, 800-585-1051. Now, I know you've
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: seen this.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I know you all over.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: You've seen the fact that they're saying AI will probably, well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: there's a 10% chance that AI will destroy all humans by.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: The end of the decade. Yeah, I don't believe that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've always been saying things like that. Every
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: time there's a new advancement of technology. Does everybody remember
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the Y2K scare?
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Remember that back in the day? I do.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But this is one of the creators, I thought. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: thought he was one of the creators of one of
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: those AI platforms.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Man, if it's that serious, unplug it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: They said AI's been doing its own thing. It's been
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: going online, breaking into people's bank accounts and finding passwords.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But what is AI doing? We can't spend the money.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: What are they doing?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, well.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Maybe we'll be breaking all that down in front page news.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: But get it off your chest. Call us up right now.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: It's The Breakfast Club.
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: Good morning.
• 2:35
  Speaker 10: What do we start with?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Anything but anything slow. Nothing slow.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: All right, we can do a 50. I ain't mad

• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Start off with some quick sports. Last night in Wednesday
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks beat the Patriots.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: 13 to 10.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Did you see the game?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I went to sleep at halftime, but I don't like it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But don't you like it? Listen,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: some things I'm just very old school on. I don't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: want football on a Wednesday night, okay? I like Sundays, Mondays.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Occasional Thursdays. Occasional Thursdays. You know what I mean?
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: I'm like, Wednesday night football? We got a Wednesday night
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: football game before a Sunday or Monday?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even watch it. Jesus Christ. I went
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to sleep at halftime.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Well, tonight, the 49ers take on the Rams at 8.35 p.m.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And just side note, you know the legend Avery Johnson?
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I ran into him yesterday. He was like, he's
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: a big fan. He listens to the show all the time.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: He was in town for the U.S.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: Open.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: He just wanted to say hello and good morning. So
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: salute to the OG Avery Johnson. What's up, Mimi?
• 3:40
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Envy, Char. How y'all doing this morning?
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 3:44
  Speaker 11: Good morning.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: So we start this hour at the Republican National Convention
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: in Dallas tonight. where President Trump made a new promise
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: to American voters, what he's calling a Trump dividend for
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: every adult U.S.
• 3:56
  Speaker 11: Citizen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 12: Let's listen.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And here is my promise.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: United States Senate, both of them, because of our economic,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: tremendous economic success, like in history we've never had anything
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: like what's happening. I will issue a dividend to every
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: adult citizen in the United States of America for $ 5, 000.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Right in time for the midterms. We back the STEMIs, huh?
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: He backed the line to y'all about STEMIs. Remember when
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: they did the Doge cuts, he said the same thing.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: He said they were going to return a portion. of
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: the projected federal savings from Doge back to tax-paying households.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: I think that was $ 5, 000, too. Y'all didn't get that
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: money either.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: Was that the $ 2, 000 tariff, too, that he promised that
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: never came as well?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but is this legally right? Basically saying if you
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: vote Republican, I got y'all, but if you vote Democrat?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Man, that don't even matter.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: It's not going to happen. He just told y'all the
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: bullpen is lying right in time for the midterms.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so here's what you need to know. There's no
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: money that has been approved for this right now. This
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: is quote unquote campaign promise. Trump did not explain exactly
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: where that money would come from or how the government
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: would pay for it. And when you do the math,
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: there's roughly 270 million adults in the United States, 5,000 each.
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: That would be about $ 1.
• 5:16
  Speaker 11: 3 trillion.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: And the president can't simply just spend that money on
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: his own.
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: Congress, of course, would have to approve that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: And so Again, back to the promise he made last
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: year about a $ 2, 000 tariff. Those dividend checks never came.
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: Those were never sent. So we're going to take that
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: with a very, very small grain of salt.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: And, you know, people will forget what you did. They'll
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: forget what you said, but they'll never forget how you
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: made them feel. So what he's trying to tap into
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: is how he made people feel during COVID when those
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: stimulus checks went out.
• 5:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly.
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: And same with the midterms. Jimmy Kimmel is talking about
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: some pressure that he's feeling from the FCC. They're now
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: trying to affect who he puts on television. So Kimmel
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: says the FCC has threatened him, his show, ABC, its
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: local stations over what he calls normal decisions and programming
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: about political guests. Now, he is set to interview Texas
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Senate candidate James Tallarico. But Kimmel says that interview will
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: not air on ABC. Instead, the entire thing will be
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: on YouTube. Let's listen to why.
• 6:19
  Speaker 13: I've been interviewing Americans who are running for office with
• 6:22
  Speaker 13: no problem at all, just like Letterman did, Leno did, Arsenio,
• 6:26
  Speaker 13: et cetera, et cetera. I've interviewed a lot of political candidates,
• 6:29
  Speaker 13: from Hillary Clinton to Ted Cruz to Donald Trump himself.
• 6:32
  Speaker 13: I interviewed Donald Trump when he was running for president
• 6:35
  Speaker 13: in 2015, and at that time, when he was the
• 6:38
  Speaker 13: one sitting next to me, he seemed to have no
• 6:40
  Speaker 13: problem with the idea of talk show host interviewing candidates.
• 6:43
  Speaker 13: Now that he's president, his FCC... It's threatened me, threatened
• 6:47
  Speaker 13: our show, threatened our network, ABC, our affiliates, our local stations.
• 6:51
  Speaker 13: Based on simple, traditional editorial decisions, guest bookings, it would
• 6:57
  Speaker 13: seem they don't like. And so out of consideration for
• 7:01
  Speaker 13: our local stations, especially our ABC affiliates in Texas who
• 7:04
  Speaker 13: would have to deal with this nonsense, my interview tomorrow
• 7:07
  Speaker 13: with James Tallarico will not air on television tomorrow. It
• 7:10
  Speaker 13: will be posted on YouTube instead because in the America
• 7:13
  Speaker 13: we live in right now, that is the best that
• 7:15
  Speaker 13: we can do until November.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Well, it's safe to call the Trump administration an authoritarian
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: regime now.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Like, it's absolutely official. Like, when they interfere with the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: media to control public narratives and suppress, you know, interviews,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: officially an authoritarian regime.
• 7:31
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: And that interview would air tonight. That was his show
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: from yesterday. But ABC is already suing the FCC. The
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: FCC is making eight ABC owned stations go through license
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: renewals early. And ABC says it's being targeted over programming.
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: Of course, that President Trump and the FCC chairman don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: see as quote unquote normal television. They're calling it they're
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: going after them for discrimination for DEI. The FCC, of course,
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: they deny that. It says that they do early reviews
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: all the time, and this is just connected to discrimination
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: at Disney and at ABC.
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: So, again, that interview will air on YouTube tonight.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: And do you guys remember when this happened with Stephen
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: Colbert earlier this year, back in February? The same exact thing,
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: pretty much, on CBS. And his interview aired on YouTube because.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It could not air on TV. It only came on YouTube?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: With Colbert?
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh. Yeah, with James Tallarico. It happened, I think, back
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: in February earlier this month. And really quickly, a warning
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: this morning. If you are checking your voter registration online,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: there's a website called votersafe.org, and it's not what it
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: appears to be.
• 8:45
  Speaker 12: So vote safe.org.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: It's votesafe.org, and it's not what it seems to be.
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: It looks like it's a place to check your voter registration,
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: but it's actually ran by Elon Musk and his America Pact.
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: So what it is, you put your information in, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: it collects your full name, your birthday, your home email,
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: your home address, your email, cell phone number, IP address, location.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: And it can track every link you click, every page
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: you look on, and your voter registration status in your district.
• 9:14
  Speaker 11: But unlike the regular.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: Website, which is vote.gov, that's the official nonpartisan voter website,
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: Vote Safe asks you to hand over all your personal information.
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: Reputable voter registration does not do that. So before you
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: put any information into any website, they are just saying,
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: make sure that you check where it is coming from,
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: who's actually behind it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: And if you are not sure.
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: Go directly to your state or local election office or
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: their website to register to vote. So there seems to
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: be some sort of mischief going on with this.
• 9:51
  Speaker 11: Again, that website is votesafe.org.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: They are warning this morning that that website is tracking
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: some of your movements. under Elon Musk and his America PAC.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 10:04
  Speaker 15: Yep.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: All right. And coming up at 7, one of the
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: people who helped build one of the world's most powerful
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: AI just quit. You guys were just talking about this.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: They are warning about what could happen next. We're going
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: to talk about it in the next hour.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Everybody else, get it off your chest. Phone lines are
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: wide open.
• 10:20
  Speaker 14: 800-585-1051.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: It's The Breakfast Club.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Good morning. This is your time to get it off
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: your chest.
• 10:28
  Speaker 16: 800-585-1051.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: who's this?
• 10:34
  Speaker 17: Hi, hello.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning. What's your name?
• 10:36
  Speaker 18: My name is Jeanette, and I'm from Reading, Pennsylvania.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, Jeanette from Pennsylvania.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Get it off your chest.
• 10:41
  Speaker 18: Okay, so I just want to say I love y'all.
• 10:43
  Speaker 18: I love DJ Andy, Lauren Rosa, Jess, and Charlotte Music.
• 10:47
  Speaker 18: I just want to say hi.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: We love you back.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: We love you more.
• 10:50
  Speaker 18: So I have a question. I love the positivity that
• 10:53
  Speaker 18: you guys push, but I got to tell you, sometimes
• 10:56
  Speaker 18: I get a little disturbed with some of the negativity
• 10:59
  Speaker 18: about colorism. Because I know about the donkey of the day,
• 11:03
  Speaker 18: you know, you were talking about that word and how
• 11:07
  Speaker 18: we need to get that out of vocabulary, push positive,
• 11:10
  Speaker 18: you know.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: The N-word.
• 11:11
  Speaker 18: But, yeah, I mean, the N-word, yeah. But my dad,
• 11:15
  Speaker 18: you know, he's DJ Envy's complexion. My mom is Carmel.
• 11:18
  Speaker 18: I'm Carmel. And you know how genetics roll in the
• 11:20
  Speaker 18: black community. My daughter is my dad's complexion. And, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 18: I know it's jokes and everything, but colorism is a
• 11:27
  Speaker 18: real thing. And at age seven, I'm already getting it
• 11:30
  Speaker 18: from her. And I just I feel like colorism is
• 11:32
  Speaker 18: a big thing in our community too. It's just as
• 11:34
  Speaker 18: bad as an N-word. You know, we all come in
• 11:37
  Speaker 18: different colors, like a crayon box browns all over. And
• 11:41
  Speaker 18: I used to think of the stories my dad used
• 11:43
  Speaker 18: to tell me when he grew up in Queens, Jamaica, Queens,
• 11:45
  Speaker 18: how he was not, he was black, you know, too
• 11:49
  Speaker 18: black for the white, for the white friends and not
• 11:51
  Speaker 18: black enough for his black friends. And now God gave
• 11:54
  Speaker 18: me a woman, a little girl who's his complexion and
• 11:58
  Speaker 18: she's already going through it in this day and age.
• 11:59
  Speaker 18: So sometimes, you know, I love y'all positivity, but that
• 12:02
  Speaker 18: colorism joke, it bothers me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: What did they say about your daughter?
• 12:06
  Speaker 18: Well, it didn't hit until this year in summer camp.
• 12:10
  Speaker 18: She came home talking about how they were doing paper dolls,
• 12:13
  Speaker 18: and some girl made a comment to her, and.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: What was the comment?
• 12:19
  Speaker 18: Basically told her, oh, you can't be the paper bag doll,
• 12:23
  Speaker 18: and then you need to use a crayon to make
• 12:25
  Speaker 18: it white. And it's like... What does that have to
• 12:28
  Speaker 18: do with that? And my daughter comes home, and she's like,
• 12:31
  Speaker 18: I want to play paper dolls, but why do I
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: have to change your color with a crayon? And I'm
• 12:34
  Speaker 18: just like, oh, my God.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: How old is your daughter?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Seven.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's colorism as much as it
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: is an observation, but I get what you're saying, though.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Like, you know what I mean? Because kids are just
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: looking at it from the perspective of they want it
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to be accurate.
• 12:45
  Speaker 18: Well, I wish it was that case, but the thing is,
• 12:47
  Speaker 18: I guess, okay, so maybe it's me hearing about my
• 12:50
  Speaker 18: dad's situation, what he went through. I'm looking at it
• 12:53
  Speaker 18: that way. I guess observation is true, but.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: And.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: It's just a conversation you got to have with your kids,
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: and you got to teach your kids how to get
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: their jokes off, even though I don't think that young.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: person was joking when they told your daughter that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: I will say this though, you know, from, yeah, I
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: was made fun of a lot, but my parents are
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: still in kind of the F you attitude.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: You've been made fun of now.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but my parents are still the F you attitude
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: where I'm proud of my skin color.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I'm black. I'm light skin.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I can't be anything else and I'm proud of it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: And to have kids like my daughter Brooklyn, is probably
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: the darkest in my six kids, and she loves her
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: brown skin, and there's nothing about it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: We encourage it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: We love her. We tell her that her skin is beautiful,
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: and she loves it. She's proud of it. What else
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: is she supposed to do? Yeah, but like she said,
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: there are kids that make fun of different colors of skins,
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: and my sons have been called the N-word before. They
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: go to predominantly white schools, but My kids really, really
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: love their skin colors. And there are so many different shades.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Like I said, Brooklyn is the darkest.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Then Logan.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Then it goes down to the lightest with London. But
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: they love their skin shades. They know that they're black regardless.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: And they got the effort attitude. Like, I'm beautiful regardless.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: And that's the same way my parents raised me.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: And they got the crayons. They got the colors of
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: the world. You never seen the Crayola colors of the world?
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Crayons that got all of the different skin tones.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So that's what I mean.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Like, I'm not saying that, you know, kids don't experience colorism.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: I just think in that situation with a seven-year-old, that
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: little other kid wanted your child just to be accurate.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: And not for nothing, Jeanette, my kids got them jokes, too.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Because they will fire back. They will fire back. And
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I let them fire back. It is what it is.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: If you make fun of them, let them fire back.
• 14:35
  Speaker 18: Well, she's my only child. And I do have her
• 14:38
  Speaker 18: in a predominantly white school, a private school. But I
• 14:40
  Speaker 18: put her purposely in the Boys and Girls Club summer
• 14:43
  Speaker 18: camp so she could experience what I grew.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Up with, you know?
• 14:46
  Speaker 18: So I guess, I don't know. I have to balance it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 18: The Color World crayon is.
• 14:50
  Speaker 13: A great idea, actually.
• 14:51
  Speaker 18: I'm going to look into that.
• 14:52
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I just, yeah, that's a great idea.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: It's called Crayola Colors of the World, and they have
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: all the different skin tones that, you know, we would experience.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: And also, you know, putting her in activities outside of
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: the school where the focus is on what the activity is,
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: that helped a lot. So, you know, my daughters are
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: in dance. And there's all types of shades. There's Asian, white, black, Indian. Like,
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: it doesn't matter. They just focus on dance.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And they don't even see color. That's not true.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Because them black girls be dancing way better than them
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: white girls.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: And people out there say that. They be like, yo,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: them black girls, boy, they really can boogie. My daughters
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: do get busy.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: But the kids, they focus on the dance and not
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: necessarily the colors. You see them white kids trying to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: get tanned because they think it's going to make them
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: dance better.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: You can't escape it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: There's no escaping your color or any of these conversations.
• 15:45
  Speaker 16: That's true.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: And that's the thing.
• 15:46
  Speaker 18: I think I think me having her is making me
• 15:50
  Speaker 18: nervous trying to figure out how to promote positivity. Because
• 15:53
  Speaker 18: at the end of the day, when she got tanned
• 15:54
  Speaker 18: during the summer, I said, you look beautiful tanned. You're
• 15:56
  Speaker 18: going to go back to sugar cookie mode. I make
• 15:59
  Speaker 18: jokes with it, too, with her. Because ever since that
• 16:02
  Speaker 18: girl made that comment, I'm thinking, how do I balance it?
• 16:04
  Speaker 18: But I can't make too many jokes.
• 16:07
  Speaker 16: I'm going to start off with the Crayola Cram.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: You can make a lot of jokes, okay? I call
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Envy a sugar cookie every winter. Because he does.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But you know what's crazy?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: He could call me a sugar cookie. He could call
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: me bae, the color of pee. He could call me
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: all those things.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Not just pee, dirty urine. He could call me all
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: those things.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: But if I say, look, you little short black bitch,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I get in trouble.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: No, you don't.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: That's just not funny.
• 16:28
  Speaker 19: Yes, it is.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: It's not descriptive. Short black bitch. When I say you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: look like the color of dirty urine, you look like
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the color of urine when somebody doesn't drink enough water.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: That's just more descriptive.
• 16:38
  Speaker 16: That hurts my feelings.
• 16:40
  Speaker 15: Oh, my God.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Be more descriptive. I'm hurt by that. That hurts my feelings.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Can you stop?
• 16:43
  Speaker 15: No.
• 16:43
  Speaker 14: See?
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jeanette.
• 16:45
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 16:46
  Speaker 18: Take care, y'all.
• 16:47
  Speaker 16: Love y'all.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Have a good day, Jeanette.

• 23:48
  Speaker 21: what did or did not work out when it came
• 23:50
  Speaker 21: to Klay Thompson. So we're going to talk about when
• 23:51
  Speaker 21: you try to make something fit that doesn't work.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: All right. Whoa. All right.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: the black radio.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: That source is trusted. Did you hear that exclusive?
• 24:06
  Speaker 21: Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about
• 24:09
  Speaker 21: everything and everything.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: She be having the latest on things.
• 24:12
  Speaker 20: You ask the questions that need to be answered.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: On The Breakfast Club.
• 24:16
  Speaker 12: Little brown girls look at you and go, I want
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: to be like you.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: LL Cool B.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Talk to me, Lolo.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Yo.
• 24:22
  Speaker 21: That's my nickname, like, for real. My whole family calls
• 24:25
  Speaker 21: me that. All right, y'all. So, Meg Thee Stallion, she
• 24:27
  Speaker 21: covered InStyle magazine. She looks beautiful in the magazine. Meg
• 24:31
  Speaker 21: Thee Stallion is gearing up. To give us some new music.
• 24:33
  Speaker 21: She says her act three, she's going to be bringing
• 24:35
  Speaker 21: back Tina Snow. Y'all remember Tina Snow when Meg first
• 24:37
  Speaker 21: started rapping? That was the caricature that she played into.
• 24:40
  Speaker 21: And now Tina Snow is elevated. But she's going to
• 24:43
  Speaker 21: bring us the edge back, according to this article. But
• 24:46
  Speaker 21: Meg is talking about music, life... Personal life, you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 21: we've seen a few things over these past months.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: So first, let's talk about that. I thought that this
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: was so cute.
• 24:55
  Speaker 21: So the journalist that is interviewing her is, like, listening
• 24:59
  Speaker 21: to Meg's music and has broken down this interview into, like,
• 25:01
  Speaker 21: chapter one, chapter two, right? So they're talking about how
• 25:05
  Speaker 21: Meg Thee Stallion, she wants to be the Mariah Carey
• 25:08
  Speaker 21: of the summer. I thought that that was, like, such
• 25:10
  Speaker 21: a great, like, comparison for her. Because when you think
• 25:13
  Speaker 21: of summer, remember when Meg Thee Stallion started the hot
• 25:15
  Speaker 21: girl summer movement, right?
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:16
  Speaker 21: How big it was, all the organizations that co-opted it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 21: You had Wendy's, you had all these corporate brands leaning in,
• 25:20
  Speaker 21: but the culture really leaned in, right?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: But I think that.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Phrase was bigger than the song that they created. See,
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: the reason Mariah Carey dominates Christmas is because the song
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: is so fun.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, but, okay, so.
• 25:32
  Speaker 21: She's talking more about the feeling. I get what you're saying, though.
• 25:34
  Speaker 21: So Meg Thee Stallion says, I want to be the
• 25:35
  Speaker 21: Mariah of the summer. I love Mariah Carey. Mariah is Christmas.
• 25:39
  Speaker 21: As soon as November starts, we just hear Mariah hit
• 25:41
  Speaker 21: that high note.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Boom. Me, June 21st, as soon as summer starts, boom,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: it's Megan. I'm not playing. I think it's like the feeling.
• 25:49
  Speaker 21: Like, I remember when the hot girl movement was a thing,
• 25:52
  Speaker 21: and I feel like summertime, it was like, okay, you
• 25:54
  Speaker 21: want to be fun.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: You want to be outside. It's all about providing the soundtrack. See,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: the thing about Mariah Carey, she provides... A soundtrack for Christmas.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: It's that song.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Right. She needs a Hot Girl Summer anthem.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think Megan has provided that this summer
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: or even last summer.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Well, Act 3 is coming. You know what I mean?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: She's gearing up for it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: None of her songs came back like Mariah's songs that
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: gave you that feeling.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: That song with Nicki was actually called Hot Girl Summer.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, during that time. But she needs an actual Hot
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Girl Summer anthem.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: She's right about the feeling and the praise.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: The feeling, yeah.
• 26:25
  Speaker 21: Well, I mean, look, so Savage remix that she did
• 26:29
  Speaker 21: with Beyonce, six times platinum.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: No, you're not listening to what we're saying. It's not
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: a feeling. She needs an actual song. Mariah got a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Christmas song.
• 26:35
  Speaker 21: But Megan has Hot Girl Summer. So, yes, Mariah Carey
• 26:39
  Speaker 21: has a Christmas song. Hot Girl Summer, there's like a
• 26:41
  Speaker 21: soundtrack to it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: You go out frequently, right?
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: When is the last time you heard a Megan Thee
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Stallion song?
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Not right now. What I'm saying is she can get there, though.
• 26:49
  Speaker 21: Because when she did have, when the song with Nicki Minaj,
• 26:51
  Speaker 21: the Hot Girl Summer song, when WAP, when.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Savage remix.
• 26:54
  Speaker 24: Savage.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: When they were out, there was a tune of the summer. Correct.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: She working on it.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: The Hot Girl Summer anthem this year was been that.
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: All I'm simply saying is when I hear her say
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: that about Mariah, I'm simply saying she needs a Hot
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Girl Summer record to go with the summer.
• 27:09
  Speaker 21: So you know how Mariah Carey, we think of All
• 27:12
  Speaker 21: I Want for Christmas and all these things, right?
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Does she need one song that is forever?
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, Lauren.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Can it be different? No, I'm asking you a question.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, she needs one song forever.
• 27:22
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Why can't it be different? You can't compare yourself to
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Mariah Carey and talk about the.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: The song that makes you feel that way that means
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you need.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: A song when you hear that Mariah Carey song it's
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: Christmas time and you want to hear.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: It every Christmas there's certain.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Songs that you hear like barbecue songs you know back
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: that ass up Juvenile homecoming song you know it's swag
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: surfing or knock if you buck I agree let's move
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: on because I was trying when you want to line
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: dance right when you want to do the before I
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: let go it's Tamiya or you do before I let
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: go this particular song she doesn't have.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: That song and the fact that she compared herself to
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Mariah and said that's what she wants that's automatically where
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: our mind goes she needed the song.
• 28:01
  Speaker 21: Got you well they didn't go into like you know
• 28:04
  Speaker 21: just how she is as an independent artist and Des
• 28:07
  Speaker 21: is in the article as well who works with Roc
• 28:09
  Speaker 21: Nation and she talks about how Megan like has always
• 28:12
  Speaker 21: wanted control over her career she writes her music she's
• 28:14
  Speaker 21: making her own music she owns it we know remember
• 28:16
  Speaker 21: she did that deal she's an independent artist but she
• 28:19
  Speaker 21: talks about how she also comes out of pocket for
• 28:21
  Speaker 21: like basically all of her expenses because she doesn't take
• 28:24
  Speaker 21: advances at all Um, thought that that was fire, but
• 28:27
  Speaker 21: she gets on the breakup. So they, the interviewer asks
• 28:29
  Speaker 21: her like, you know, how you feeling? She says she
• 28:31
  Speaker 21: feels like, you know, clothes that just got put through
• 28:33
  Speaker 21: the washer and a dryer.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Like she'd have been through the wringer.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 28:35
  Speaker 21: So she says that they asked her about the breakup.
• 28:37
  Speaker 21: She says it was very rough. Uh, she says for
• 28:40
  Speaker 21: the first time, um, And she's trying to figure out
• 28:43
  Speaker 21: how to say it gently.
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: She just says she.
• 28:45
  Speaker 21: Realized that what's meant for you is always going to
• 28:48
  Speaker 21: work out. And if something is consistently and constantly making
• 28:50
  Speaker 21: you feel uncomfortable, just on edge all the time, you
• 28:53
  Speaker 21: probably are not supposed to be there. God will always
• 28:55
  Speaker 21: make you uncomfortable when something is not meant for you.
• 28:57
  Speaker 21: I think I just kept trying to make pieces fit
• 28:59
  Speaker 21: that didn't belong, trying to fit myself into someone else's life.
• 29:02
  Speaker 21: I was losing myself a little bit. I am now
• 29:04
  Speaker 21: in a space of finding me again. Uh, she then continues.
• 29:08
  Speaker 21: She talks about, you know, people being faithful and or not.
• 29:10
  Speaker 21: Cause remember she claimed Clay Thompson was not. And she talks,
• 29:13
  Speaker 21: she says, she draws a line of disrespect. You will
• 29:15
  Speaker 21: not disrespect me and you will be thankful period. She
• 29:18
  Speaker 21: says that she learned a lot from that experience and
• 29:20
  Speaker 21: now she's working more on her, but she will not
• 29:23
  Speaker 21: be disrespected.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, she puts it in the music.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, she 100%. I think she will put it in
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: the music for sure.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: And back to the music.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: For some reason, she puts out a lot of dope music,
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: but I don't feel like they connect like they should. Like,
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: even the last song she put out, I thought was
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: going to go.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: What song?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: My man, my man, my man.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: It did for the moment.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: I thought it was going to go because I was like, oh,
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: it's a song showing her love for her man. And
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: I thought it was going to go. But you women
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: didn't support it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: I love that song. What are you talking about? I mean, what?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I never heard you even say that, talk about that
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: record ever in my life. Yo, I never heard that.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I put that song on pictures, on Instagram. Like, come on.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: The girls, we was out here singing that song.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: No, we wasn't.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, we was.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Is this when you had a man?
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: I had one.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: So when you got a man, that's when you started
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: posting it? I never heard you talk about it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 21: It was out at the same time. What do you
• 30:07
  Speaker 21: want me to say, Charlamagne?
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Like, I just never heard the record. Like, I've never
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: heard you talk about the record. But I root for Megan.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Dropping the Clues bombs for Megan Thee Stallion. I root
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: for Megan.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: She's been through a lot.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: And all the times I've ran into her or spoke
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: to her, she's been a very pleasant person.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Cool-ass chick from Houston.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Well, she has been through a lot, and they get
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: into that as well, too.
• 30:25
  Speaker 21: Because, I mean, on the Klay Thompson situation, she just
• 30:28
  Speaker 21: talks about not wanting to ever be minimized by a man.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: But then they go into, you know, the fact.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That— What about minimized by women who don't support her music?
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: Shut up.
• 30:34
  Speaker 21: Then they go into therapy. She talks about how she's
• 30:37
  Speaker 21: grown now, and she's done therapy. She says she's still
• 30:40
  Speaker 21: in therapy actively. She's been in a facility where she
• 30:42
  Speaker 21: did a bunch of different therapy. And this is something
• 30:45
  Speaker 21: that she pushed herself to get into because— You know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 21: she deals with a lot. And she says, I feel
• 30:49
  Speaker 21: like I used to think a lot with my emotional mind.
• 30:52
  Speaker 21: And now I can think logically and emotionally and figure
• 30:55
  Speaker 21: out how to react or not.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: The art of non-response.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: I love it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 16: Yep.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: So shout out to Megan Thee Stallion.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: I just wish people would focus on her music more
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: than everything else. Because I feel like with Megan, they
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: talk more about her relationships, talk about more about.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Everything outside of the music. and the music comes second, and.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: I hate that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: But that's why it's actually good she's doing stuff like this,
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: because she gets it all out the way.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: So by the time her music drops, that's what people
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: will be focused on. Yeah, they'll focus on just the music.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean, the article is a full article.
• 31:21
  Speaker 21: They talk about everything, but I feel like, and y'all
• 31:23
  Speaker 21: could push back if y'all want, women, it's a bit
• 31:25
  Speaker 21: harder for you to just only focus on, like with Lotto,
• 31:28
  Speaker 21: she tried to just only focus on the music, but
• 31:30
  Speaker 21: people care about your personal life a lot when you're
• 31:34
  Speaker 21: a female artist.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: And if you're putting it out there.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy, though?
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Especially women that do, like, entertainment reports on shows like
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: they'll focus more on like the relationships and stuff as
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: opposed to the.
• 31:44
  Speaker 21: Person you know what do we start with though we
• 31:45
  Speaker 21: started with Meg Thee Stallion as a business as a
• 31:48
  Speaker 21: structure as you know what I mean like as the
• 31:50
  Speaker 21: boss that she is you.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Know you could keep people focused on music if you
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: actually pointed people towards it but you care more about
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about you Lauren I'm just saying.
• 31:58
  Speaker 21: In general and then I argued Josh Dan about how
• 32:00
  Speaker 21: Hot Girl Summer was an anthem it was a vibe
• 32:03
  Speaker 21: you know you didn't know you know y'all should stay out.

• 33:56
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks last night beat the Patriots.
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: NFL is back. Football is back. The Seahawks beat the
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Patriots 13-10.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I am so glad football is back and now y'all
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: can stop acting like y'all love tennis. That's right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Now, tonight, 49ers take on the Rams.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Now, what's up, Mimi?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Talk to us.
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: Good morning, guys. So we're going to start this hour
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: with a dire warning about where artificial intelligence could be
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: headed from one of the people who helped build it.
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: So AI researcher Jacob Coxson, he's quit Anthropic after spending
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: the last three years working with both OpenAI and Anthropic.
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: Those are two of the biggest AI companies in the world. Now,
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: he says neither of those companies is acting responsibly. He
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: says they're racing to build something called super intelligence, basically
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: AI that becomes smarter than humans and can keep making
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: itself smarter.
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: And his concern is simple. If AI becomes more.
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: Powerful than humans, he says there would be no way
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: to control it. He spoke to NBC Nightly News last night.
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: Let's listen to what he what.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: He had to say.
• 35:00
  Speaker 14: Potentially one year away from now, the models start getting
• 35:03
  Speaker 14: very dangerous. One year away?
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: One year.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: One year away.
• 35:06
  Speaker 14: Some people think even six months. Like, it's plausible within
• 35:09
  Speaker 14: six months the models pose risk of taking over the world.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: The AIs.
• 35:13
  Speaker 14: They're not panicking about current AIs, but we are discussing,
• 35:17
  Speaker 14: you know, what is the world going to look like
• 35:19
  Speaker 14: in two years? This is endgame.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: These are like.
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: crucial high stakes decisions being made by people in in
• 35:25
  Speaker 14: a private company and you know people people are scared
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: because as they should be when they're talking about the
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: possibility of human extinction.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Unplug it then okay like we are clearly already at
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the point of no return if they're telling us If
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: they're telling us, then it's probably too late. Yeah, and
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: It's getting to the point now where if the people
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: that are designing it, making it, saying that this thing
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: is doing its own thing, breaking into people's accounts and
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: hacking things.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta unplug it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: We've been being hacked forever, though.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Also, you know, I'm... That's by a human.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: This is by a computer that's just doing it... freelance
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: like there's no controlling it it's been over for.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Also don't think that uh these things just came about
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: like i remember somebody telling me a very important person
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: telling me a long time ago anything that they've introduced
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: us now they knew about 30 years ago oh god
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: so so they already know how this is.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: Going he was also asked what losing control would actually
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: look like and this is what he had.
• 36:18
  Speaker 14: To say They'll have conversations about, oh, do you think
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: this AI next year could produce a virus that kills
• 36:24
  Speaker 14: us all? Could it hack critical infrastructure? And this is
• 36:27
  Speaker 14: discussed soberly. And people are aware that it could happen.
• 36:30
  Speaker 14: We don't know how to control these things perfectly. It
• 36:32
  Speaker 14: is definitely on the cards.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I just also want y'all to know I was born
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in 1978, so I'm old enough to remember things like
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: the Y2K scare when experts would tell you that, you know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: there was going to be a bug that caused power
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: grids to fail and airplanes to fall from the sky
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and banks to lose track of accounts.
• 36:48
  Speaker 19: No, it's not.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: It's actually kind of the same thing.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: No, it's not because that was Y2K, but now it's
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: so far advanced, right? People are getting in cars that
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: there's no drivers and they're just hoping that the AI
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: gets them to the right place.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: That didn't happen to Washington. You're not listening to what
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I'm saying.
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: What I'm saying is there's always fear instilled in people
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: whenever new technology is introduced.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I remember what everybody thought. They said when the clock.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: Struck midnight on January 1st, 2000, all the computer systems
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: were going to crash all.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: Over the world.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we thought the world was coming to end. My grandma,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: we was in church. They was praying.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Nah, yeah, I get it.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: But this just seems a lot different because AI controls
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: so much.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Of our world and life. It does. There was a
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: public panic. I remember.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: The media reports had people running to go hoard food
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: and water and cash.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm not saying that this isn't
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a real threat. I'm just saying I'm old enough to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: have seen this before.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this one makes me a little one of the companies.
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: He's not alone.
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: There was another guy who kind of came out and
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: backed him up. So we will continue to watch this.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: It's getting a lot, a lot, a lot of movement,
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: you know, all over the news right now because these
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: these warnings are coming out and people. are really kind of,
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: you know, paying more attention and leaning into it.
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: But I hear you, Char. It is, you know, kind
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: of what was happening back.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: In the day.
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: This concerns me a lot more, though.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I hear you, too.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Because we rely on so much AI now than we
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: did before. Like, this concerns me a whole lot now.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: We relied on the Internet.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Back then, too.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Not like this. We were on the way. Going into
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the year 2000, we were on the way. Not like this.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: This is, I mean, our whole life is AI.
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: Pretty much my whole life.
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: And the more you do is it's just becoming more AI,
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: you know, and everything. But before we go, the kids
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: are back in school and you know what comes next.
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: It is picture day. So today is.
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: Actually National School Picture Day and it falls on. The
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: second Thursday in September, it celebrates that yearly tradition where,
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: you know, you got dressed up, you sat in front
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: of the camera at school and you hope the picture
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: came out halfway decent because it was going to end
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: up in the yearbook.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Do you guys.
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: Remember those days when you were at school taking your
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: school photo?
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: Yes, I do.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Who said no? Charlamagne, he's old. He predates the internet
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: and everything.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I do, actually.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: Every year, Mom Dukes got you dressed up and it
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: was some stupid background. I showed you some of mine.
• 39:02
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I sent a couple older ones when Mimi was
• 39:05
  Speaker 21: asking us for photos.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: And I was like, why did I do this to myself?
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: So since we're celebrating, that's right, Lauren, I did a
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: little bit of digging.
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: I found some old photos.
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: And I think we're going to start with Envy because Envy,
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: you know, He had some really good photos. Envy's parents,
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: they dressed him up. Do we have those photos of
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: Envy from, I think it was like.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Six years old? I didn't give it away. Envy!
• 39:31
  Speaker 12: Look at you all tricky.
• 39:32
  Speaker 25: Look at Envy.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Look at Logan, man. Logan's so much cooler than his daddy.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I think we have two more. We have another one
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: of Envy.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: How old were you there, Envy?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Man, what race was he there? What age was that?
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: I think I was seven there.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I think I was seven.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: What age was he?
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: What was his ethnicity?
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: And then we have one of Charlemagne.
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: Let's see your school photo.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: That looked like a mugshot. You've been greasing that face
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: for years.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Decades. Thin, starving face.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: Thin, starving face.
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: But why was it black and white?
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I was born in 1978, man. That's from a Berkeley
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: High School yearbook. I don't even know what year that was.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: You would have.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Thought he wanted it in color so he could remember
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: his hairline. And I think we have one of you
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: two more.
• 40:27
  Speaker 17: Yes!
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: That was my senior, my high school senior graduation.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: No, that's the better one.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: I was going to say another one. I was like,
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: we ain't doing this.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: You look like a cancer patient and they had to
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: send in wigs. Mimi, where's yours?
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Whoa, I didn't even see you.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: What?
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Who is that?
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: That's Tanisha Brown.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: That is Tanisha Brown. That is Tanisha Brown.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: I think I'm sending one from like first grade or kindergarten.
• 41:05
  Speaker 11: Did we get that one, guys?
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: You look just like your son. Or your son look
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: like you.
• 41:08
  Speaker 12: Oh, thank you.
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: Thank you. Thank you. I'll take it.
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: Now, if you guys are listening, I just want to
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: tell you, it'll be on our national picture day.
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: I just want to tell people that you can actually
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: see it on our Instagram page.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sure people are driving right now. Like, I want
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to see the pictures. You can see it on our
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: IG page. Wow.
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: There she is. Kindergarten.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: That's definitely Tamisha.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: What year was that, Mimi?
• 41:28
  Speaker 19: What?
• 41:29
  Speaker 21: You look like those pictures in the beginning of the
• 41:31
  Speaker 21: BET movies when it'd be like, I guess you're wondering
• 41:34
  Speaker 21: how I got here.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Wow, looks like you're about to go do tennis.
• 41:39
  Speaker 11: I probably was, though, with my mother. She played tennis.
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: All right, y'all.
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: Well, that is your front page. Thank you for playing
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: a long National School Picture Day. Those were fun back
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: in the day. I enjoyed getting dressed up for photos.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Look at this one.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: That's a little gay. That's... Let me ask you a question.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: When did the.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: Rainbow become gay?
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Because I had rainbow and it was... That's before.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Like, when did rainbow become gay? Rainbow was funny.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Not to predate the rainbow being a symbol.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: Stop the indoctrination of our kids oh my goodness all right.
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: I tried to get envy to send that picture that looks.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Like that's the picture you're using you're trying to secure
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: parental consent for student gender identity or sex-based changes that's
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: what i just saw just now that was crazy all.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Right send me that man no i'm not sending you
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: that no way All right, when we come back, they
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: can meet me.
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Zuri Hall will be joining us.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk to her next. It's The Breakfast Club.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: The Breakfast Club.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Laura Rose is here as well.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: We got a special guest in the building.
• 42:48
  Speaker 22: Mm-hmm. She's back, ladies and gentlemen.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Zuri Hall.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Welcome. Thank you. Thank you.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Good morning, pretty lady. I feel good.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Right back at you, gorgeous.
• 42:57
  Speaker 12: It's been good.
• 42:58
  Speaker 22: I got in.
• 42:58
  Speaker 15: I was at the U.S. Open a few days ago,
• 43:00
  Speaker 15: which is really fun. Been doing some press, talking pop culture, Hollywood.
• 43:04
  Speaker 15: Emmys are around the corner.
• 43:05
  Speaker 12: It feels good to be in New York.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: I'm spending more time out here lately.
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: Since you mentioned the US Open, I just wanted to
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: ask you, how do you feel about the creators going
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: crazy in the US Open?
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: And the refs having to say, please sit down, please
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: turn off your cameras.
• 43:16
  Speaker 12: The weed, stop the flash, the weed, all the things.
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: The weed?
• 43:20
  Speaker 12: I mean, the weed can be anybody, though. Technically, it's
• 43:22
  Speaker 12: probably not just the influencers.
• 43:24
  Speaker 21: You don't feel like the super, super tennis people went
• 43:25
  Speaker 21: and smoked at the US Open?
• 43:27
  Speaker 15: I would assume that anybody, obviously, if they have a.
• 43:32
  Speaker 21: Little smoke break.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: The tennis watchers, they're like, they drunk, but they like
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: in it.
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: It's the honey juices.
• 43:40
  Speaker 15: It's just the honey juices and the vibes. I think
• 43:44
  Speaker 15: there is a conversation that needs to be had. But
• 43:47
  Speaker 15: like the flash photography, et cetera, it's all a part
• 43:49
  Speaker 15: of the fact that the U.S. opened at this point.
• 43:51
  Speaker 15: It really is like a sports take on fashion week.
• 43:54
  Speaker 15: Like you've got Anna Wintour in the box. You know,
• 43:56
  Speaker 15: you've got A-list celebrities rubbing shoulders. It's turned into this
• 44:00
  Speaker 15: like pop culture phenomenon. So I think that comes with
• 44:03
  Speaker 15: the territory. You want influencers there because they're moving the
• 44:06
  Speaker 15: needle in a different way. They're getting new eyeballs on
• 44:08
  Speaker 15: the sport, which I think is great. But you also
• 44:10
  Speaker 15: do have to respect the sport. Like, it's an incredibly
• 44:12
  Speaker 15: impressive one. There is a certain rule or a set
• 44:15
  Speaker 15: of etiquette rules in the world of tennis. And you
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: can't show up in somebody's house and then do what
• 44:20
  Speaker 15: you want to do.
• 44:20
  Speaker 12: They don't think we?
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: The tennis players. I mean, I don't think they can, right? Yeah,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: they get tested. Like, they can do it in any
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: other sport.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Do you remember the Zuri who was sending, like, cold
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: emails trying to get tested? Somebody to give her an opportunity.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: Who told you about this?
• 44:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I do.
• 44:37
  Speaker 15: I sometimes go back to those old emails and read
• 44:39
  Speaker 15: them just to look at all of the rejection and
• 44:42
  Speaker 15: remind myself.
• 44:43
  Speaker 12: How far I've come.
• 44:44
  Speaker 15: You know, because even now I get no's all the time.
• 44:47
  Speaker 15: But I remember when it was only no's. And then
• 44:50
  Speaker 15: I remind myself one yes.
• 44:51
  Speaker 12: And then I look back at like that first 2011
• 44:53
  Speaker 12: email where it was like, actually, you can come in
• 44:55
  Speaker 12: and meet with us for 20 minutes. And then that
• 44:58
  Speaker 12: moves the needle.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: It takes me to the next thing, to the next thing.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: How did those nose shape how you are now?
• 45:05
  Speaker 20: Oh, I got you.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: How did the nose shape how you are now? You know,
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: because you didn't get a bunch of nose, like infinite nose.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: And it tear you away from what you want to do.
• 45:14
  Speaker 17: Totally.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: You know, or the other way it can make you
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: go harder. How in that moment?
• 45:18
  Speaker 15: I think because like with my father, like I think
• 45:21
  Speaker 15: we might have talked about this a little bit, but
• 45:22
  Speaker 15: he always raised me with, I say a healthy level
• 45:25
  Speaker 15: of delusion.
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 45:26
  Speaker 12: Where, like, anything is possible, you know? I told her
• 45:29
  Speaker 12: this yesterday.
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: Wait, in what way?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: He told me I was delusional.
• 45:33
  Speaker 12: But that's good.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: You got to be. But I just.
• 45:35
  Speaker 21: Didn't know, you know, anything coming from him that could
• 45:37
  Speaker 21: be slightly positive. You're just like, what's the catch?
• 45:40
  Speaker 12: Why are we saying it?
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: Tell me more.
• 45:42
  Speaker 12: Where is this coming from?
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: I think that you do need that.
• 45:44
  Speaker 21: Because you posted a video talking about building your life
• 45:48
  Speaker 21: as a ladder.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: And why people shouldn't do that.
• 45:50
  Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
• 45:51
  Speaker 21: And what she's talking about is like you get on
• 45:53
  Speaker 21: one step of that ladder and something don't work out.
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: You still got to be delusional enough to know that
• 45:57
  Speaker 21: like I can get to the top of the ladder
• 45:58
  Speaker 21: because this random other person did it.
• 45:59
  Speaker 12: Exactly. That's exactly it.
• 46:01
  Speaker 15: Like I think that delusion is when I hear a
• 46:03
  Speaker 15: no or especially back in the early days, it was
• 46:05
  Speaker 15: just not yet or not this way, not this door.
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: And so I never took it personally. It was like, oh,
• 46:11
  Speaker 15: you don't know me enough yet to know that I'm
• 46:14
  Speaker 15: going to crush this. Oh, you don't understand how I
• 46:16
  Speaker 15: work or how I move. So that has nothing to
• 46:18
  Speaker 15: do with me. That has to do with the fact
• 46:20
  Speaker 15: that you don't know. You don't know what you're passing on.
• 46:23
  Speaker 15: You don't know what you're missing out on. So I'll
• 46:24
  Speaker 15: go get it somewhere else. And then eventually you'll see
• 46:27
  Speaker 15: what you.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: Missed out on.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: What did Zuri that was trying to get on have
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: that successful Zuri sometimes.
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: Has to fight to keep?
• 46:35
  Speaker 12: Whoa, say that one more time.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: What did the Zuri that was trying to get on
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: have that successful Zuri sometimes.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Has to fight?
• 46:45
  Speaker 12: Oh, that's good, Char.
• 46:47
  Speaker 15: She sometimes, she had to fight to keep, and now
• 46:50
  Speaker 15: I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it.
• 46:52
  Speaker 12: Remembering this isn't it.
• 46:53
  Speaker 15: This isn't the end-all be-all like, you know as much
• 46:55
  Speaker 15: as I love my career and for a long time
• 46:57
  Speaker 15: to Lawrence Point I built it like a ladder. I've
• 46:59
  Speaker 15: talked about that This isn't the most important thing in
• 47:03
  Speaker 15: my life and that's saying a lot because it's one
• 47:04
  Speaker 15: of the most important things in my life But being
• 47:07
  Speaker 15: from Ohio growing up in Toledo Thank God. My parents
• 47:11
  Speaker 15: are still here and they're so present and active in
• 47:13
  Speaker 15: my life. I've got a niece I've got a nephew.
• 47:15
  Speaker 15: There's just so much more that matters and And for
• 47:17
  Speaker 15: a long time, scrappy Zuri, who.
• 47:19
  Speaker 12: Was just trying to get it, super ambitious. And it
• 47:22
  Speaker 12: was only work.
• 47:23
  Speaker 15: Like, I missed out on so many things. Like, I
• 47:25
  Speaker 15: missed one of my, at the time, she was a
• 47:27
  Speaker 15: good friend. Now one of my best friends' weddings. Like,
• 47:29
  Speaker 15: and I always, that still breaks my heart to think about.
• 47:32
  Speaker 15: But it was at a time in my life where
• 47:33
  Speaker 15: I was afraid to ask for a vacation day.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I was afraid.
• 47:36
  Speaker 12: To be like, hey, this important thing in my life
• 47:38
  Speaker 12: is happening. I need to be there.
• 47:40
  Speaker 15: And quite frankly, I don't know if I even understood
• 47:42
  Speaker 15: how important those things were at that time.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: And that's just not the case anymore.
• 47:48
  Speaker 15: So I would say like the Zuri who was like
• 47:51
  Speaker 15: this or nothing else, like. sometimes I have to remember that,
• 47:57
  Speaker 15: I think.
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: I kind of just went a little bit all over
• 47:59
  Speaker 12: the place.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Get Zuri some more liquor. I want to hear Zuri talk.
• 48:01
  Speaker 19: No!
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: I was just waiting. You don't have the first one?
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: Okay, wait.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: So that's no way. Oh, you took it already.
• 48:09
  Speaker 19: I'm late?
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: She is.
• 48:10
  Speaker 15: Hold on.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: I'm going to pour it. She was here last time.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: She was like in and out. We get to talk
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: to Zuri today.
• 48:15
  Speaker 12: All right, let's do it.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: Are you doing things for Fashion Week?
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: I am not.
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: I'm getting out of here. Thank you so much, love.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: You're welcome.
• 48:21
  Speaker 12: I fly out later today, back to L.A.
• 48:24
  Speaker 15: Normally, I would be covering the Emmys on Monday, but
• 48:26
  Speaker 15: I'm getting surgery, and I actually feel very strongly about
• 48:29
  Speaker 15: talking about this.
• 48:30
  Speaker 12: I'm getting a fibroid removed.
• 48:32
  Speaker 15: Oh, my God.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 48:34
  Speaker 15: And the reason that I have to do it then
• 48:35
  Speaker 15: is this is the only time they could squeeze me
• 48:37
  Speaker 15: in in the next couple of months, and I want
• 48:38
  Speaker 15: to get it done before award season really kicks off
• 48:42
  Speaker 15: with the Globes in January, so I have time to recover.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Is this your first time dealing with the fibroid?
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: How long is recovery time?
• 48:48
  Speaker 15: I'm trying to get on a flight to Ohio to
• 48:50
  Speaker 15: finish my recovery three days after. We're going to see
• 48:53
  Speaker 15: if that's overly ambitious. I hope my surgeon's not listening.
• 48:56
  Speaker 15: I think they told me a week, a week before
• 48:58
  Speaker 15: I should get on a plane. But I think it'll
• 49:01
  Speaker 15: be like a week or so of just like.
• 49:02
  Speaker 12: Rest, et cetera.
• 49:03
  Speaker 15: But I have friends who have done it and they've
• 49:05
  Speaker 15: had multiple fibroids removed and they were out. Like it
• 49:08
  Speaker 15: was one of my friends is going through right now.
• 49:10
  Speaker 15: As you said, it's been pretty brutal. I haven't traditionally
• 49:13
  Speaker 15: had them, but I did egg freezing. And so I
• 49:15
  Speaker 15: did four rounds and a lot of estrogen, a lot
• 49:18
  Speaker 15: of hormones. And I do kind of wonder if that's where.
• 49:20
  Speaker 12: It came from.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: But thank God.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Was it painful? Did they feel it from the pain?
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: No, I have no pain.
• 49:25
  Speaker 15: I just, yeah, when I started the egg freezing journey,
• 49:29
  Speaker 15: I just got really serious about my health period. So
• 49:31
  Speaker 15: reproductive health, fertility preservation. And so, you know, you're doing
• 49:34
  Speaker 15: these ultrasounds. And during one of the ultrasounds, probably my
• 49:37
  Speaker 15: third or fourth round, for the first time, they were like,
• 49:40
  Speaker 15: you know, you have a fibroid, right?
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: And I was like, what?
• 49:42
  Speaker 12: No, I've never had one of those. Like, what does
• 49:43
  Speaker 12: that mean? And they were like, they're super common, really normal,
• 49:46
  Speaker 12: especially in Black women. They affect us disproportionately.
• 49:50
  Speaker 15: Um and 80 percent like yeah up to 80 percent
• 49:52
  Speaker 15: of black women exactly up to 80 percent by the
• 49:54
  Speaker 15: age of 50 i'm going to deal with at least
• 49:56
  Speaker 15: one fibroid in their life um and so it was
• 49:59
  Speaker 15: new for me but they said nothing to worry about
• 50:01
  Speaker 15: whatever but i do want to have kids and i'm
• 50:03
  Speaker 15: excited to you know hopefully carry as many naturally as
• 50:06
  Speaker 15: i can and where it's located.
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: They're like yeah you need to just get Get that
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: out of there because it's giving.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: How does that impact your reproductive journey? Or does it?
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 50:15
  Speaker 15: Fibro removal, it's... For some women, unfortunately, it seriously impacts
• 50:20
  Speaker 15: your reproductive journey to the point some women can't carry.
• 50:24
  Speaker 15: Some women have hysterectomies where there's a complete removal because
• 50:28
  Speaker 15: of the fibroids.
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: Scarring is a risk also. And then when you have
• 50:33
  Speaker 12: these fibroids, depending on where they're located in your uterus.
• 50:37
  Speaker 15: it can harm or I guess you would say deter implantation, right?
• 50:41
  Speaker 15: So for a fetus, and now I've gone from U.S.
• 50:43
  Speaker 15: Open expert to OBGYN. This is not medical advice.
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: For the record. I feel like I need to say that.
• 50:48
  Speaker 15: It's your personal experience. Yeah, it's just my personal experience.
• 50:52
  Speaker 15: But it can definitely deter implantation.
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: And that's what you need to take a healthy baby
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: nine months to term.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: You know, Zuri, once.
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: I heard you say you didn't believe in backup plans.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: Do you still believe that?
• 51:03
  Speaker 15: I guess I have to say no, I don't believe
• 51:05
  Speaker 15: it because even egg freezing is technically, I would categorize
• 51:09
  Speaker 15: it as a backup.
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: Plan, right?
• 51:11
  Speaker 15: Because the goal up until a certain age, at least
• 51:14
  Speaker 15: for me, was to get pregnant naturally and egg freezing
• 51:17
  Speaker 15: was a backup plan.
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: I think career-wise, professionally, yes, I still believe that. Like,
• 51:22
  Speaker 12: it's all in. It's all or nothing. Like, this is
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: what I'm doing.
• 51:24
  Speaker 15: And in the downtime when I'm not doing it, it's
• 51:27
  Speaker 15: just trying to figure out how to get back to
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: wherever I'm trying to go. But personally, yeah, I believe
• 51:32
  Speaker 15: in backup plans when it comes to this fertility.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: You know what's so crazy?
• 51:36
  Speaker 21: Before you asked that, I was going to ask you,
• 51:37
  Speaker 21: at what point did you stop kind of believing in
• 51:40
  Speaker 21: the backup plan for your personal life because you said
• 51:42
  Speaker 21: you froze your eggs?
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Because it's been something that, like, I think a lot
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: of career, you were so focused on career.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:47
  Speaker 21: And you have to think about, okay, at what time
• 51:49
  Speaker 21: does my real life kick in?
• 51:52
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 51:52
  Speaker 21: And how is that going to work out for me?
• 51:54
  Speaker 21: But it seems like you've made the switch where you're like, no,
• 51:56
  Speaker 21: I'm prioritizing my real life.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: When did that switch for you?
• 51:58
  Speaker 12: That's exactly it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: Like what happened? I love that question.
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: I think I.
• 52:02
  Speaker 15: Got to this point in my life where, you know,
• 52:04
  Speaker 15: I talk about this ladder theory and how we should
• 52:06
  Speaker 15: be building like pillars, right?
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: Instead.
• 52:07
  Speaker 15: So you have this house. The foundation for me is
• 52:09
  Speaker 15: my faith.
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: Because sometimes. All the pillars come crashing down at once.
• 52:13
  Speaker 12: And it's like, OK, then what? But at least you
• 52:15
  Speaker 12: still have this firm foundation.
• 52:16
  Speaker 15: I got to this point where I had nothing to
• 52:19
  Speaker 15: show for my life outside of my professional accomplishments. So
• 52:23
  Speaker 15: when the career stuff imploded or I got hit with
• 52:26
  Speaker 15: a plot twist or whatever it was, I had nothing
• 52:29
  Speaker 15: to show. Like I had, you know, and so much
• 52:31
  Speaker 15: of my identity was wrapped up in what I was
• 52:33
  Speaker 15: achieving or accomplishing. And I was like, this is a
• 52:36
  Speaker 15: crappy way to live. And also, even sometimes at my
• 52:39
  Speaker 15: highest moments, I'm talking Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, co-hosting Fashion
• 52:45
  Speaker 15: Police with Joan Rivers, all these different things.
• 52:48
  Speaker 12: I still have moments of misery. Like, internally, I felt
• 52:52
  Speaker 12: a void.
• 52:53
  Speaker 15: I felt a lack of fulfillment because I was always
• 52:56
  Speaker 15: chasing the next high.
• 52:58
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 52:58
  Speaker 12: It was incredible when I was on set. It was
• 53:00
  Speaker 12: incredible when that show premiered.
• 53:02
  Speaker 15: But the in-between, there was nothing because I hadn't built
• 53:06
  Speaker 15: up anything else. And I was like, I just don't
• 53:08
  Speaker 15: want to live this way because it's giving too much
• 53:10
  Speaker 15: control to the people in positions of power in this
• 53:14
  Speaker 15: landscape that I'm choosing to participate in.
• 53:16
  Speaker 12: So I got to figure out how to build up
• 53:18
  Speaker 12: these other pillars.
• 53:19
  Speaker 15: And I also realized, you know, at the end of
• 53:22
  Speaker 15: the day, it's the folks in Ohio, it's my family,
• 53:24
  Speaker 15: it's my friends, it's my loved ones who are going
• 53:26
  Speaker 15: to be here throughout this entire journey. Like half the
• 53:28
  Speaker 15: people that I worked with at any given moment, would
• 53:31
  Speaker 15: they be at my wedding?
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: Would they be at my funeral?
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: You don't have to go dark. And the answer is
• 53:35
  Speaker 12: probably not.
• 53:36
  Speaker 15: And so why would I give that much energy to
• 53:39
  Speaker 15: these people? God bless them, but give them more than
• 53:43
  Speaker 15: I'm giving the people who are rocking with me high
• 53:45
  Speaker 15: or low.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Good or bad.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: What do you think you need for accomplishments?
• 53:49
  Speaker 21: Like now that you're in this space where you can
• 53:51
  Speaker 21: really remove yourself from your accomplishments, where do you think
• 53:53
  Speaker 21: your need for accomplishing comes from? Is it you really
• 53:56
  Speaker 21: want to accomplish or is it a fulfillment of something
• 53:59
  Speaker 21: else that you were trying to figure out?
• 54:00
  Speaker 12: I think it's both.
• 54:02
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think I sometimes joke it's a trauma response,
• 54:05
  Speaker 15: but low-key it kind of is a bit of a
• 54:06
  Speaker 15: trauma response.
• 54:08
  Speaker 12: I am wildly ambitious.
• 54:09
  Speaker 15: I've been that way since I was young, since before
• 54:11
  Speaker 15: I had ideas about what success did or didn't mean.
• 54:15
  Speaker 15: But yeah, I think when you're shy like I was
• 54:18
  Speaker 15: growing up, and you don't feel seen in certain spaces,
• 54:22
  Speaker 15: accomplishment was a way to be seen.
• 54:25
  Speaker 12: It was a way for people to pay attention to me. Like,
• 54:27
  Speaker 12: I'm not.
• 54:28
  Speaker 15: Brave enough or outgoing enough at this time to go
• 54:32
  Speaker 15: up and talk to you and just be precocious, you know,
• 54:34
  Speaker 15: off record.
• 54:35
  Speaker 12: But when you put a mic in.
• 54:36
  Speaker 15: Front of me or it's a stage play and it's
• 54:40
  Speaker 15: action or it's go or the curtain opens, It forced
• 54:44
  Speaker 15: me to take up space in a way that I
• 54:47
  Speaker 15: knew I was capable of, but not wired to just
• 54:49
  Speaker 15: do day in and day out. And so that kind
• 54:52
  Speaker 15: of fed me in, I think, a really genuine way.
• 54:55
  Speaker 12: But as I started to excel and achieve, probably.
• 54:58
  Speaker 15: Somewhere along the way, early on, I got wrapped up
• 55:01
  Speaker 15: in this idea of, oh, this is the only thing
• 55:04
  Speaker 15: that makes me worthy.
• 55:06
  Speaker 12: Of attention or your presence or something.
• 55:09
  Speaker 15: Your friendship or your romantic interests, you know, like so
• 55:13
  Speaker 15: much of the story I told myself for a long
• 55:16
  Speaker 15: time was this is why.
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: Anyone engages with me.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: No, not even deserve.
• 55:23
  Speaker 12: If I didn't have this. I wouldn't get this. You
• 55:26
  Speaker 12: wouldn't engage.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 55:28
  Speaker 12: It wasn't from a place of like entitlement or arrogance.
• 55:30
  Speaker 15: It was a place of insecurity of like, I got
• 55:33
  Speaker 15: to do all this to get the attention feel superficial.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, you made me think about a bunch of stuff,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: but like Access Hollywood, right?
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: When something you've attached part of your identity to ends, right?
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: How do you separate this show is over from what
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: does this say about me?
• 55:49
  Speaker 15: I think because I've already detached from like who I
• 55:53
  Speaker 15: am being like what I do.
• 55:55
  Speaker 12: It's the end of an era.
• 55:57
  Speaker 15: Like I have appreciated it. It's been 11-ish years, 12
• 56:02
  Speaker 15: years at E! News and Access Hollywood.
• 56:04
  Speaker 12: All good things come to an end.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: It's bittersweet.
• 56:07
  Speaker 12: The show's been on air for 30 years.
• 56:09
  Speaker 15: But like I'm excited for what's to come.
• 56:11
  Speaker 12: Our last show is this week, actually. It's this Thursday.
• 56:13
  Speaker 12: We'll film it. And it's kind of wild to like
• 56:15
  Speaker 12: look at Friday and be like, well, what's, what? I'm
• 56:18
  Speaker 12: going to just do what I want to do. I'm
• 56:19
  Speaker 12: going to just live my life. But I'm so excited
• 56:22
  Speaker 12: about that. I'm so excited to just look at the unknown.
• 56:25
  Speaker 12: And don't get me wrong.
• 56:27
  Speaker 15: The team is working. The contracts are being negotiated. Stones
• 56:29
  Speaker 15: are in the fire. But I'm excited to look at
• 56:33
  Speaker 15: this blank page. for the end of 2026 and keep
• 56:38
  Speaker 15: it blank on purpose. I just want to be and
• 56:41
  Speaker 15: let God surprise me and like see what existing.
• 56:43
  Speaker 12: Calls in and yeah.
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: Is there any grief attached to Access Hollywood ending that
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: surprised you a little bit?
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 56:50
  Speaker 12: I shed a few tears this past Friday.
• 56:53
  Speaker 15: Like right before I got on the plane to come
• 56:55
  Speaker 15: to New York, I filmed my last show up at
• 56:57
  Speaker 15: the Globe, up at Universal Studios. And sometimes when you're
• 57:01
  Speaker 15: doing something every day, you forget everything. like how special
• 57:04
  Speaker 15: it is, you know, and like little Z in Toledo,
• 57:07
  Speaker 15: seven years old, like Universal Studios. These are, they make
• 57:10
  Speaker 15: the biggest films and shows that I've, right. And I'm
• 57:13
  Speaker 15: just there every day hosting the show. Like, all right guys,
• 57:16
  Speaker 15: that's it from Universal Studios Hollywood.
• 57:17
  Speaker 12: Until next time.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: The world is seeing your face.
• 57:19
  Speaker 15: Yeah. And then to say it for the last time
• 57:21
  Speaker 15: and know like that's it. So as soon as we wrapped,
• 57:25
  Speaker 15: I did finally let myself feel it. And yeah, it's bittersweet,
• 57:29
  Speaker 15: but I do feel like it's time. I'm excited for
• 57:31
  Speaker 15: what is to come because also you get comfortable.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: Like if you do.
• 57:35
  Speaker 15: Something long enough and you can kind of do it
• 57:38
  Speaker 15: without thinking too hard about it and you love it.
• 57:41
  Speaker 15: Like I genuinely loved it. You'll stay there.
• 57:43
  Speaker 12: And I think it feels like God is just divinely
• 57:46
  Speaker 12: clearing the table. Like one full sweep.
• 57:48
  Speaker 21: You mentioned, I don't know if you said God or
• 57:50
  Speaker 21: your spirituality, something. I was like, oh, it's the God
• 57:52
  Speaker 21: piece of it. You've gotten to a point where you're
• 57:54
  Speaker 21: just letting God do what he do.
• 57:56
  Speaker 12: Letting him do what he does. That's exactly it. Because
• 57:59
  Speaker 12: he's never let me down.
• 58:01
  Speaker 15: And there's so many things that I've wanted that I
• 58:03
  Speaker 15: didn't get and I was mad. And then I saw
• 58:06
  Speaker 15: the why later, right? I just trust his process.
• 58:10
  Speaker 12: You've always been like that, though. You think so?
• 58:13
  Speaker 15: I think I used to be way more stubborn about, like,
• 58:17
  Speaker 15: I used to beat a door down. Like, I used
• 58:20
  Speaker 15: to stick around longer than the circumstances justified.
• 58:24
  Speaker 12: It was like, no, I want to make this work.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: MTV, you is out.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: You love to bring this up.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Girl, and that's right.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: 20 years ago, too.
• 58:35
  Speaker 12: Girl, here's the first thing smoking.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 58:38
  Speaker 16: Cheers.
• 58:39
  Speaker 19: Cheers.
• 58:39
  Speaker 12: You was working with him?
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: First thing smoking. I know that's what it is. You
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: hear me?
• 58:43
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: First of all, best thing ever happened to you. Knock
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: it off.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: I might choke on this tequila.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: And I dare your boy here to say you're the
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: best thing that happened to me.
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: One of.
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, one of.
• 58:52
  Speaker 16: One of.
• 58:56
  Speaker 15: Like, I've told you that before, though, not to get
• 58:59
  Speaker 15: all emo and woo woo. But like, back when I
• 59:02
  Speaker 15: was at MTV, and I was in New York like that,
• 59:05
  Speaker 15: you were a very important person in my life.
• 59:09
  Speaker 12: And it was amazing. very complicated time for me.
• 59:12
  Speaker 15: And I was dealing with like insecurity and you spoke
• 59:14
  Speaker 15: so much life to me. And I remember when you
• 59:16
  Speaker 15: were even like. I see you on the Today Show.
• 59:19
  Speaker 15: Before I was even like speaking those things out loud.
• 59:21
  Speaker 12: And I was like, yeah, well, I don't know. We'll see.
• 59:23
  Speaker 12: We'll see. I was just on the Today Show yesterday.
• 59:26
  Speaker 15: Chanel and I go out there often to do press
• 59:29
  Speaker 15: and promote, et cetera.
• 59:30
  Speaker 12: And I was just like, who is this guy? Just like.
• 59:33
  Speaker 15: Speaking life into me and like seeing not more for myself.
• 59:37
  Speaker 12: I saw a lot for myself, but just like, he
• 59:39
  Speaker 12: was so bold and what he would declare over my future.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: He began downloads from God.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: What'd you say?
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: He began downloads. He downloads.
• 59:46
  Speaker 12: Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 59:47
  Speaker 21: What did, when you, when you, before you knew her,
• 59:50
  Speaker 21: what did, what came over your spirit where you were like,
• 59:53
  Speaker 21: she needs that and let me because that's another thing
• 59:55
  Speaker 21: too it's like you be needing it but did you.
• 59:57
  Speaker 12: Know I needed it or were you just being you.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: God just told me to tell you these things literally
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: I would just see her and I saw the light
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: and God would tell me to tell.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 15: Her you saw the light so much like I can't
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 15: even say how much it was a really I was
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 15: struggling a lot with like who am I because again
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 15: my identity was so wrapped up in my career at
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 15: the time and And it wasn't doing what I wanted
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 15: it to do. And then here comes this dude who's
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 15: like crushing it, right? He's like top of his game, incredible.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 15: Everyone knows him, loves him. He's so impressive.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 12: And he's like looking at little of me. Most people
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: love him. A select few love him.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: My first talk show, Zuri, was my co-host.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Uncommon Sense.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: The pilot for Uncommon Sense.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's right.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: She did the pilot, the first episode, and then she
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 5: left us to go to.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: You know what.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 12: I did stick around for? I got, remember when Drake
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 12: sent you those bottles?
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: That's your day.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 12: You gave us all.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 15: The champagne bottles, and I took the Metro home to Harlem,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 15: and I was on the train with my champagne bottle,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 15: and it was just giving.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 12: High, low, high, low, because they were like, how she got,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 12: was it Ace's face?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: But she on the train, whatever it was. I was
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: about to die, man. You got down.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 12: Whatever, yeah, maybe it was down.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: He gave you the bottles you gave him away?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 14: I did.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: He gave Gloria a bottle.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 12: I was very angry.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: But she was leaving.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: Did you keep the bottles? Gloria, did you keep the bottles?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: She was leaving.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: She was going to rain.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 16: No, I don't know.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: Where I popped at. You don't have the bottles with you.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 15: Congratulations I got pictures but I drank that you drank that.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: One sad when she left.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: You keep bringing it up well Zuri is a phenomenal
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: talent you know like for somebody like me I need
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: somebody to balance you know what I mean that's why
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: I love working with Envy all these years nice and
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: even y'all now but back then yes Zuri was the
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 5: one did you have a.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: Shot No, it's Zuri. Zuri need to come back up here.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: Like every day. Or once a week. On camera.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 12: Yes, because Leonard is like.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Is it hard to date in your role because you're
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: such a boss and you're so strong, you're so powerful?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 12: It can be hard to date. I think traditionally I
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 12: have intimidated men more than they care to admit in
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 12: the moment.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 15: But I will also say, as I focus on what
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 15: I can control, which is me, I think it takes
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 15: a lot of masculine energy to navigate worlds like this.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 15: And I say this with love, respect, appreciation and acceptance
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 15: of masculine and feminine energies like it's all necessary. And
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 15: so I think for a long time, because my identity
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 15: was so caught up in the work stuff.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: I thought.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 15: The same qualities, traits, and energy that got me the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 15: job were going to be impressive in relationship.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 12: Like, oh, look how little I need you. Look how I.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: Can do bad out by myself.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 15: Like, I thought it was, oh, look, I'm choosing to
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 15: be with you.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 12: I don't need to be with you.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 15: I realized over time that for a lot of men,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 15: it was a turnoff.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 12: Sometimes it was from a place of insecurity.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 15: I have dated some very successful insecure men, situationships only.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 15: I think healthfully masculine man takes pride in being needed
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 15: to a certain extent. It takes pride in being able
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 15: to show up for you and provide.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 12: And I'm not just talking financially.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 15: I'm especially not talking financially because I didn't need that,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 15: but emotionally providing and like, I want to be needed
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 15: by you, right?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: I hate that, but I understand.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: Why do you hate it? What do you hate?
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: To me, it feels like almost a dimming of light.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: You are who you are, regardless, right? You are who
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: you are.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: You're powerful.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: You're strong.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: And if men are insecure and don't understand that, that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: would be their loss.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't have to say... I have to get in
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: my feminine era to go.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: Hey, f * * * that.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Like, y'all need to go the f * * * up.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: But sometimes, okay.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 21: Sometimes it takes the right gentleman to bring that soft era.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: Perfect example.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 8: Chris.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 24: Hello.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: Right, exactly.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: No insecurity.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: No insecurity.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: You don't care. Like, nothing.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Does not give a f * * * that you're
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Jess Hilarious, the comedian. He loves Jess Hilarious, who you
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: are as a person.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: And I couldn't get away with half the s * * *.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 15: That I would do with other people with.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: With him.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: Listen, my last question is, if everything you've accomplished so
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: far was actually just preparation, not the destination, right?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: What do you think you've been preparing for?
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: Oh my God.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 18: Wow.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 12: That is an incredible question. I need to sit with
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 12: that one. I don't need, I can't even, I.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: Don't want to pull an answer.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 13: I don't know.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 15: I think it's preparing me for, I realize I'm at
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 15: a point in my life, like I've been talking to
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 15: a lot of women younger than I am, right?
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 12: About a decade or so younger. And, I am realizing
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: the lessons I've been learning, the things that I'm still learning,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: some of the things that I'm angry about, disappointed about,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 12: I'm like, oh, it's not for me yet.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 15: Like, I'll apply this lesson in my life eventually or
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 15: in my future relationship. But when I'm pouring into them
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 15: or I'm telling them what I'm learning or what I'm
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 15: going through and they're saying, thank you for sharing that.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 12: Oh, my God.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 15: Like, I appreciate your transparency, your vulnerability. Only in the
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 15: last couple of weeks. I'm like, oh, that's what this
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 15: is for. And so there is a selflessness there. that
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 15: I am being taught. Like, I think that's how God
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 15: is working on me right now. I've always tried to
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 15: be a giver and I loved in certain ways, but
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 15: I've never thought that my pain, my experiences, my disappointments
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 15: could be for someone else.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 12: Like maybe I did go through that. Not for me.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 15: Maybe that was because I need to speak life into
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 15: another woman and it's going to move the needle there
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 15: in a significant way. And that will eventually plant seeds
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 15: that whatever. And so I, Over time, I'll look and see, oh,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 15: that actually moved the needle and changed someone's life or
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 15: lives for the better.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 12: I never thought about it like that.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: I never thought that my pain could be for someone
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 15: else's gain. And so I think maybe that is it.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 15: If there's like a lesson that I'm supposed to be learning,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 15: if there's a why that I'm not aware of, it's like.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 15: I'm going through this stuff, not for me, so that
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 15: at the finish line, I can be like, I conquered.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 12: I won. I got the gold medal. Maybe I'm just
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 12: going through it to help somebody else get a gold medal.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Zuri, you need to come back up a little more.

  Speaker 7: Talk to me.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 21: Yeah, so the baby, we talked a bit about his
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 21: no-knife chicken and waffles opening up in Charlotte. And it's
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 21: been making the rounds of conversations with people upset about
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 21: the prices. He sat down for an interview with Positively
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 21: Charlotte with Alicia Quarles and talked about all of the upset.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 12: Some people said $ 45 for a waffle.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: Baby, what are we doing?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: What do you say to people that are like, this
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 12: is real expensive?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 10: I say they should have went to Waffle House. Waffle
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 10: House has something for you.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: But if you want an elevated dining experience, if you
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 10: want a waffle, Waffle House, I'm sorry. Don't let this
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 10: come off as shade to you. This isn't just flour
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 10: and water. Our sweet potato waffle is infused with real
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 10: sweet potatoes. Our blueberry lemon waffle is really infused with
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 10: real lemons. Even the soul food cornbread waffle. That's the
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 10: $ 45 waffle that you make.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, tell us what makes this thing $ 45.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 10: This is no flour and water with this. This is
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 10: real homemade cornbread. This is not Jiffy Mix. This is
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 10: real homemade southern recipes. So this is cornbread, right?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: It's topped.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 10: With collard greens with turkey leg meat, macaroni and cheese, and.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Sweet potato souffle.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 10: We also included four pieces of fried chicken.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: This is really a $ 100 waffle.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, man, I don't care what y'all talking about. I'm
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: sold already. I'm going to be in Charlotte in a
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks. I done looked at that goddamn no-knife
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: menu a couple of times.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: I want that banana pudding waffle or that sweet potato waffle.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 6: I'm going to try a little bit of everything. I
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 6: go there in a couple of weeks, too. But if
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: you look at some of the places that people frequently eat.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Like Cheesecake Factory.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: Cheesecake Factory has $ 40. entrees that has nothing compared to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 6: what that is if you go to a pasta place
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: like you're gonna pay 40 30 40 dollars for pasta
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 6: and that has nearly the amount of stuff that that
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 6: he gave you with the at.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: Some point we have to admit that we as black
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: people are very hard on each other for no goddamn
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: reason because i ain't never heard y'all complain about carbone
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: prices no i ain't never heard y'all complain about the
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: weight of carbone but because the baby has his own
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: restaurant in charlotte now all of a sudden all.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: Of y'all food critics and all of y'all worried about
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: the prices knock it.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 6: Off Well, see, somebody can even say the, you know,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 6: carbon is the experience. You're paying for that.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 8: But.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: No Knife look like an experience? But if you go to, like,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: the places that people frequent, like, I'm talking, like, Cheesecake
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: Factory and.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: New In-N-Out.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: No experience. $ 40, $ 50 for things? Nah, hell no. I
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: will be at No Knife in a couple weeks, goddammit.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: Well, let us know how the food is, okay? We
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: got all these food critics.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 14: Please.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: send me some audio food.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm getting a whole bunch of things.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 6: I'm not like Charlamagne. I'm not getting one dish. I'm
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: going to get like six, seven. And it's going to
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 6: be a bunch of us and we're going to try.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 6: Everybody's going to try a little bit of everything.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 21: Charlotte got to worry about his digestion system. Look, he
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 21: take like 10 pills right now. He need to eat
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 21: and relax.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm going.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I'll be in Charlotte in a couple weeks. Me too.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 21: Well, speaking of things that people get critical of or not,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 21: people are excited about this one.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married is out now.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: Why Did I Get Married.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 21: Again is out now on Netflix. I started watching some
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 21: of it yesterday. I know that they had the premiere event,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 21: which a lot of outlets were at, talking about the movie. Now,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 21: one of the things that people are, of course, pointing
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 21: to is the fact that Janet Jackson was not in
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 21: the movie. Tyler Perry talked about her absence with Hollywood
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 21: Unlocked during the premiere event for Why Did I Get
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 21: Married Again?
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: But we didn't see Janet in this one.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: Could you give fans an update on what we see,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 7: like a cameo of Janet or a little update on that?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Well, Janet, at the time, she was doing a residency
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, so we couldn't work out the time. But
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: who knows what'll happen in the future? Yeah. I want
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: Patricia's character in prison. Okay, Patricia's character caused Gavin to
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: die after he got hit by that truck after they
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: had that argument, and then she walked off with the rock.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: That's the last thing I remember. If she's in a movie,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 5: I want it to start with her in prison.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 16: Not her.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 21: I mean, what kind of prison? Prison. But mentally, they
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 21: were all dealing with a lot.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: It's not like she pushed them.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Let people watch it.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 15: Yes, she did.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Let people watch it. It's out now, right?
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: It is out now.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 21: But I do want to get to this because people
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 21: are having a conversation online who have been watching it.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: Comparing Taraji's character. Taraji's now in the movie.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 21: She plays a character named Rosalyn, who's like a friend
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 21: that was just always absent, but now she's here. And
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 21: people are like, this doesn't take the place of Janet
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 21: Jackson's character. So Taraji addressed that conversation. Let's take a
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 21: listen to Taraji on her character and praising Janet Jackson.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 26: I'm the new kid on the block. This is an
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 26: established story. These characters are beloved. And here comes this
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 26: new girl.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 18: What's she here for?
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 26: One thing I didn't want people to misconstrue is that
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 26: I was replacing Janet. No one can replace Janet Jackson
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 26: in anything, okay? Let's just clear that up. Tyler did
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 26: an amazing job with.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 18: How he put my character.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Into the story.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: It made it real. It made it seem like, oh,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: she was just off living her life.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 26: And there's always that one friend that didn't make the vacation.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 12: Oh, you weren't at that.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 16: But there's always friends.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 12: I'm sure they run even deeper than that. There's always,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 12: you know, girls that are women.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 26: Maybe in installment four, we'll get to more about where
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 26: the hell Rosalyn came from.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: I want Patricia to be in prison and installed me
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: for it. I don't think y'all remember what happened. Patricia
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: went to that man.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: She went to Gavin's office and was raising hell over
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: some book royalties or something. And so he left because
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 5: he was like, why are we embarrassing each other like this?
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: So he was all distraught. Then he got in that
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: car and got hit by that damn truck.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Patricia need to be in prison. Watch this weekend, guys.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: If not in prison, she need to be in somebody's
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: mental institution because she went crazy.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: Mental institution.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 21: She was mentally hiding a lot until she was going
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 21: through a lot. But you think that he deserved royalties
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 21: from the book?
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: I'm asking you.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, ma'am.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, hell yeah.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: You right about me. Yes.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 21: I just hope we get some closure to that story
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 21: in general. We talked to Michael Jaiwad about it when
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 21: he was here, too, and he kind of couldn't answer
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 21: if that was going to happen or not.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: But look, I'm going to finish the movie today.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Watch it today.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Watch it this weekend.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: Watch it today, y'all, so we can talk about it tomorrow.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: But that was the latest for the hour.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 21: And when we come back, we're going to get into
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 21: some conversations because Jalen Brown sat down with Mahersha Ali
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 21: and they were talking about just the freedom to impact people.
• 1:12:34

  Speaker 5: two individuals were arrested after police said they left three
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 5: of their kids, eight years old, five years old, and
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 5: one years old, home alone so they could go play pickleball.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 5: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 5: to Oklahoma on 6 News for the report, please.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 15: Two Glenpool parents are facing child neglect charges after police
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 15: found three young children home alone while the parents were
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 15: off playing pickleball.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 25: Police arrested Andrew Dick and Feather Roberts Saturday after officers
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 25: responded to a 911 hang-up call and found an 8-year-old, 5-year-old,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 25: and 1-year-old without adult supervision.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 23: The parents were 20 minutes away in Bixby at a
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 23: sports complex. They told officers the children had access to
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 23: an iPad to call for help if needed. Both face
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 23: three counts of child neglect. The children were not hurt,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 23: and police say DHS has been notified.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 7: Listen, Featherdick.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: What ages were the kids again?
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 8: Huh?
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: What ages were the kids again?
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 5: Eight, five, and one. Okay, eight, five, and one. Listen,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 5: to the Featherdick couple, all right? I want to play
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: a game against what race it is, but I don't
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: think it's necessary, because this might be the whitest child
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: neglect story I've ever heard.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: In my life.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, I know, I know, leaving your kids home alone
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: is not just a white thing. Even though there's a
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: whole hit movie franchise about it starring white people. Okay,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: but negligent parents do come in every race, religion, and
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: tax bracket. But we know what makes this story white.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: And that's pickleball.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 5: OK, Caucasian pickleball.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Court commitment is real.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: This is privileged paddle parenting. And what pisses me off
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: about this story is they absolutely knew better. Because when
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 5: you read more into the story, they also have a
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: fourth child who's an infant.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: And police say they got a babysitter for the baby.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: So they know how this works.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 5: OK, they secured child care for the baby, but left
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 5: the other three to the mercy of Disney Plus or
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: maybe Fox. YouTube, okay? Peppa Pig on YouTube. That keeps
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 5: the kids in one spot for some hours. But I
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: do want to say, though, my how times have changed, okay?
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 5: Were our parents committing a crime when they was leaving
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: us to fend for ourselves when we was kids? I
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: was for sure getting off the bus at 8 and
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: going to my grandma's house and being there alone until
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: an adult came. Y'all ain't never did that when y'all
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: was young? Or y'all don't want to put y'all parents
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 5: in an incriminating situation?
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: My mama said don't answer that door don't answer the
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: phone that's all.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying i grew up in an era where nothing
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: happened was a parenting strategy okay all right thank you
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: god for covering us when our parents was leaving us
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: home alone okay in the case of andrew dick and
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: feather roberts police alleged this wasn't the first.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: Time the children have been left alone you think OK,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 5: that's how bad decisions get comfortable.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: You do something once, get away with it.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: And the next time it doesn't feel quite as reckless.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: OK, ain't nothing going to happen to these kids. They'll
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: be fine. We're only 20 minutes away.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, nothing is going to happen is a
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 5: parenting strategy for some people.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: And it's all good until today. It's not OK.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: And the way my parental paranoia is set up and
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: if you don't know what parental paranoia is, It's the
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 5: anxiety that we experience as parents.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: OK, the way mine is set up, I could never.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 5: Parents deserve lives. OK, parents deserve to go out. They
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 5: deserve to have hobbies. They deserve to have date nights.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: Go play pickleball until your little suburban heart is content.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: We deserve that. But get a damn babysitter.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 8: OK.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Having kids means sometimes your plans get canceled because you
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: don't have a babysitter. You don't got nobody to watch
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: the kids. That's parenting. OK, sometimes you don't get the dink.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know what dink is, it's a
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: soft shot and pickleball. OK, and sometimes when you can't
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: find a babysitter, you have to put the paddle down
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: and stay your ass at home. OK, if you don't,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: you will find yourself in a pickle. Like these parents.
• 1:17:25

  Speaker 20: So my question, so I'm dating someone, and we've been
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 20: seeing each.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 19: Other for like the last year and a half.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 19: We both participate in the ganja, and we live a
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 19: little bit away from each other, like an hour.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 14: And a half.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Okay. I just want you to know you sound like
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: an undercover cop. Ganja. Ganja. Do you have any ganja?
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: Does anybody have any ganja?
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: You could have said marijuana, weed, cannabis, but go ahead.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: We rocking with you.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 20: That's crazy. So long story short, he basically told me, like,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 20: stop getting it from me.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 16: And to just get it from him.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 20: But he lives an hour away, so it's like he
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 20: has to go out of his way to bring it
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 20: to me if I want it.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: So he's a drug dealer?
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: What are you calling from, first of all? North Carolina.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 20: Good old North Carolina.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 19: But basically, like, we've just been having a lot of
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 19: issues with, like, me getting it from other people. And
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 19: she's not really feeling it.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 20: And I'm just like, well, I don't know what to
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 20: tell you, sir.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 16: Like....
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 6: I really can't believe you called up here and the
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 6: problem that you're having is your man does not want
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 6: you to buy weed from your area. He wants you
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: to buy it from you. It seems like he's a
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: drug dealer trying to make some money off of you.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: He should be giving you weed for free.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: I don't understand. He's got a good job.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 12: It's not about the money.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: What are you looking for? What's the advice you're looking for, ma'am?
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 20: Whether I should really stop taking.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 19: It from other places and his request or if I
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 19: could just do my thing.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 5: It depends how much weed he's giving you, because if
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: he's giving you enough weed to where, you know, it
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 5: can last you a couple of weeks or a week
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: or so, and you don't have to go to other places.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 5: I don't see why you complaining about getting free weed
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: in this economy.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would say this.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know how much you smoke, but if you're
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 6: giving him that, you know, punani, whatever you want to
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 6: call it, that box, if it's good, he should be
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 6: giving you weed for free. Like, when he sees you
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: every week, he should be, thank you so much. Here's
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 6: some smoke for free.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Is that the advice you would give to your daughter?
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: Shut the hell up. My daughter would come to dance.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: What the hell is he talking about?
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 16: That's her man, though.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: What the hell did he just say to you?
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: But that is her man.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 19: I would never date someone that's going.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 12: To make me pay for it.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Exactly. That's her man.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: All I'm simply saying is if he's.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 20: Not available and I want to, and I don't have any,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 20: then I will hit up someone that I made it
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 20: previously with too.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but this
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 5: is kind of like binge watching a show without him though.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 5: Like if y'all start a show together, you know what
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 5: I'm saying? Y'all supposed to keep watching that show together,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 5: but I don't, I don't see the problem with you
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 5: going to get weed from somebody else.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: If you can't get it from him in that moment.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 21: It's because the weed man be taking stuff down. Like,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 21: The weed man, that means she's in constant communication with them.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 21: They pulling up to the crib. Y'all never heard about
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 21: how the weed man.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, he thinks he's flirting with the weed man. He
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: getting jealous.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: It's just the weed man. I'm trying to tell y'all.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 20: My ex is trying to be as horrible.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: That's how I ended up with a baby. It's not
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 20: I'm a Capricorn. I'm very business oriented. Let's get this done.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 20: Let me get my stuff.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what's sad about this story.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: It sounds crazy.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 5: Your man, your man looks at you the way Envy
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 5: looked at you. He think you just willing to be
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 5: giving that box up for weed.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: So he think you sleeping with the weed man.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 21: Because the weed man pull up and smoke you up
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 21: and now you lit and now y'all.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: Start doing things y'all not supposed to do.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 7: That's crazy.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: That's like college days. If somebody, I'm digging it.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: If somebody I'm dating and I'm serious with and I'm
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: knocking off and she smokes weed, right?
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't you supply, hey, babe, I got you.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: Don't even worry about it.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: What you need this week? Hey, I got you. Wouldn't
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: you do that to somebody that you love?
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 5: Sure, but what she's saying is when she don't have it,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 5: when she's out, she wants to go get it from
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 5: the weed man.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: But this don't have nothing to do with weed. Your
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: boyfriend's just jealous and he's insecure.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: That's all it is.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 16: It's just issues.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 20: And I'm just trying to figure out if it's something
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 20: I should, like, try to work on with him because
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 20: I really do care about him. I really do love him.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 20: Um, but it's like, it's such a small thing.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: How does he, how does he feel about DoorDash delivery guys?
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 16: Oh my God, Chalmaine.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 18: Oh my God, you're hilarious.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 20: I'm like, what day do you think I.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 19: Go to the store or go to Pizza Hut and get.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: A pizza and it's a nigga?
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: What's the difference?
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: But those are random people.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: Your weed guy is somebody that you see consistently. So
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: it's different. You don't see the same DoorDash guy every week.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: Has your weed man crossed the line before or something?
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 19: No, never.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 20: And most of the time, when I've Dude, get something
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 20: from him.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 16: I'm not, I don't even see him.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: And your boo is a weed man too you said yeah.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 21: But again he's like an hour away he might be
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 21: projecting a little bit he know what the pulling up
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 21: and smoking.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 5: Her out do well no I think that y'all just
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: need well first of all they not smoking together she
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 5: just buying I just think that y'all need to have
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 5: a conversation you and your boyfriend just need to have
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 5: a conversation about trust like that's it like you know
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 5: have a conversation about trust and you know just try
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 5: to create a calm environment speak honest about how y'all
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 5: feel and you tell him how you feel like you
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 5: just gotta reassure him that's all Yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 19: You're absolutely right.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: And be careful.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 16: And we don't see how it works out.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 6: And be careful because recreation and medical marijuana remain illegal
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 6: across most of North Carolina.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: So you be careful out there.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I don't live here.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, all right.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: Just making sure. You just visiting?

• 1:25:15

  Speaker 1: Jay, good morning.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 16: Good morning.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jay, what's your question?
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 16: So I went on this vacation with my best friend
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 16: and my family, and I was in a six-month relationship
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 16: and it was going great, but then me and my
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 16: best friend messed around on the cruise and it got, like,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 16: really messy and stuff.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 9: Why was it messy?
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: Your period was on?
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 18: No, it was not.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What do you mean messy?
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 4: The best friend messed around with her boo.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, you mean like figuratively messy, not literally. Oh, okay.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 16: Got you, got you, got you. Me and my best
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 16: friend hooked up, basically.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: Is the man a woman?
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 16: She's a girl.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, that seven-speed dildo will do it every time.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 7: Shut up.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 16: I don't even need that.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: So you went back and told your man or you
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: went back and told your girl?
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 16: I went back and told my girl, like, I confessed. Like,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 16: I felt really, really bad and guilty about it. But
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 16: then I still had feelings for my best friend. So
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 16: I went back and forth. Like, I left the house
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 16: with my girl to give myself time to figure out
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 16: what was going on. And now I feel like it's
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 16: not going to work with my best friend. But I
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 16: feel like her feelings are, like, more than mine.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because that's going to be awkward because that was
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: your best friend for so long. Now you can't be
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: around her because she's looking at you differently. She's staring
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: at your ass when you walk by, so you feel
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 6: a way.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: You a stud?
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 16: Yes, I mean, a little bit.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, so you got a fatty then. Them stars
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: be having them fatties in them size 44 jeans, man.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 16: Always on the s * * *, bro.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: You stupid. Is your girl willing to forgive you?
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, she is.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 16: She's very understanding. Like, me and my best friend been
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 16: friends since kindergarten, like 18 years.

  Speaker 6: to be like, I don't want you hanging around your
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: best friend anymore just in case this happens again.

  Speaker 1: You get too much liquor and.

  Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden dildo sliding.

  Speaker 16: * right now. Like, not soon after, you know, I
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 16: don't know. I guess how to tell her that, you know,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 16: it's not working, but, like, I love you, just not
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 16: like that.

• 1:27:54
  Speaker 5: You got to tell one of them, see you later.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if you're in a committed relationship, you got to
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 6: do what's right. You got to decide where you want
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: to go, which way you want to eat, and stay
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 6: in that direction.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 16: Yeah, all right.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 25: I got y'all.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: Don't, you got to leave.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 16: Maybe I'm just a little immature.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: That's right. You got to leave it with a little
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: pardon gift.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 5: There's a realistic seven-speed vibrating thrusting dildo with 10 vibrations
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 5: and licking modes.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: It's $ 200, though, but it's free delivery.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 16: You should look that up.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's free delivery.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 5: 10 vibrations and licking modes, and it's free delivery until
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 5: the 18th. So, you know, you have to leave with
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 5: a pardon gift.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 20: That's literally crazy.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 16: Well, I appreciate you. I'll look into that.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 7: Yes, ma'am. All right.
• 1:28:33

  Speaker 8: I'm good.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 19: I'm good on that.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 7: All right. Thank you.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: This one is crazy because it got like, it's like
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: a hookah. You can take the tip off.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: Now it's like a hookah.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 14: I'm serious.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: It got different. I'm not even joking. This is crazy.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: There's only 10 left in stock.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: This guy's really looking it up.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 7: Hello.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: Who's this?
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 20: Hey, this is Morgan from Georgia.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: What's up, Morgan?
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 12: Peace, Morgan.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Talk to us.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 20: Yeah, so not necessarily relationship advice, but I do want
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 20: some advice regarding my child's father. He has not been
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 20: a part of my child's life. He is six years old,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 20: and my child's father is currently.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 16: Sitting in prison.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 20: He doesn't get Till next November.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: Your phone is coming up, man.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 6: Do you have us on Bluetooth for speaker by any chance?
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 16: Can you hear me better now?
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I got the gist of it.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 5: Your child's father is a deadbeat who's in prison.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Correct, for seven years. And her son is seven years old.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 20: Yes, and my son, of course, he's smart enough to
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 20: know what a nuclear family is. So I'm trying to
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 20: figure out how do I bring this up to him
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 20: of the situation with his father.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 6: Your phone's cutting in and out. How long is the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: baby father in jail for? How long does he have?
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 20: Can I ask.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: You a question?
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 5: How can a man be a deadbeat if he's in prison?
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 5: He's not getting the opportunity to be there for his child.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: I guess he could call on birthdays, Christmas.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 20: This is probably like his best kid since I've noticed.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: I can't really hear it. It sounds like he said
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: he was out.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 21: He said he's been out a few times. This is
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 21: like something big since she's known him.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 20: Yeah, this is probably his second time.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 20: So he's had chances to fight, but he hasn't been.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 5: Well, you said it's been two times. Three strikes, you're out. Okay,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: so if you give him another opportunity to be in
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 5: his child's life and he fumbles this time, you got
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: to keep him moving.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: But the question is, should she tell her son that
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: the baby father's in jail, in prison?
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: That's what she's asking.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: Most of the time, they'd be like, he went to school.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he coming home in November. Does it matter?
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 20: Well he's so smart and I don't want to do
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 20: the disservice of lying to him or should I just.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 5: I don't think I would lie I.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Would tell him the truth even if it's the harsh
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: truth I would tell him the truth and you know
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: hopefully say that daddy made some mistakes and he's coming
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: home to fix that but I would tell him the
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: truth I would never want to tell him he's at
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: camp or he's in the military or he's doing something
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: and then he comes home and finds out something different
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: and then that'll hurt y'all trust so I would tell
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: him the truth Okay, so y'all.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 20: Feel like this is a good time to let them
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 20: know what it is.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think seven years old, I think seven
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: years old kids are smart.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: They understand. They know right and wrong, and they know consequences.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: So I would definitely have that conversation.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 7: I would.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 20: I feel y'all, I just, I'm very patient about giving
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 20: him enough time.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: Your phone's cutting in now, Morgan. Hopefully you heard us.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

• 1:32:16
  Speaker 7: The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of everything. What was the latest?
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 7: On The Breakfast Club. Top Dog Law.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: LL Cool Bay, Top Dog Law, waiting on a stemmy.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 4: All righty.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 4: All right, y'all.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 21: So the South Park creators are apologizing for the delay
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 21: of the musical comedy movie Whitney Springs. Now, you guys
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 21: will remember this movie because it went viral some time
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 21: ago when an outlet, I wouldn't say leaked, but reported,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 21: the Ankler reported that this movie would be made with
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 21: Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: And the movie would be about this guy who is a.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 4: This guy who... Hold on. Sorry, I'm going to confuse
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 4: myself with my notes.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: A museum?
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 17: No.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes. OK, so this guy who is fighting back
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: against slavery.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 21: So the logline is, if I was a black man
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 21: that's working as a slavery actor at a living history museum,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 21: he discovers that his white girlfriend's family used to own
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 21: some of his ancestors. Now, in the beginning of this,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 21: it was reported that it would be like a variation story.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 21: It was going to be music. It was going to
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 21: be comedy. And people were like, what the heck? Because
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 21: Kendrick Lamar was involved. So they're trying to figure out
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 21: how he's involved or whatever. Then it just like went away.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: The premise sounds incredible.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 4: It does, but.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: The movie was actually supposed to be released already.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, okay, but it just went away. Nothing happened.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: So they now are.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: No, they pushed it back.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 21: So they're apologizing for the delay in pushing it back
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 21: because people are like, where is it we wanted?
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: The latest with Charlamagne.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 4: Exactly. We take full... Shut up.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 21: We take full responsibility for the scheduled delay of this movie.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 21: They say, we apologize to our partners at PG Lang, Paramount.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 21: We appreciate the patience. And they say that South Park
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 21: and life's circumstances have gotten in the way, but they still.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: Believe in the project.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: I hope it's not political.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 4: It's always political when you involve race in something.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 5: Well, I just hope that, you know, the new ownership
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 5: of Paramount, which is the Ellison family, I just hope
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 5: that they're not pushing this back because for political reasons.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 21: It's always political when you involve race in something. I
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 21: wouldn't be surprised.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: It's not like the creators of South Park.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 5: Creators of South Park, they play with race and, you know, Trump,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 5: sex and gender and Trump all the time.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 7: Maybe.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 4: But if it was, we wouldn't.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 12: I don't I don't.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna say, I don't know if they
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 4: would tell us that.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: But that is interesting. They have pissed Donald Trump off.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 21: They recently when they aired the new season, they did
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 21: a whole Trump thing.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it could be a combination of all those things.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 17: Maybe.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 21: But would they talk about it? Would they put that
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 21: in South Park? Would they tell us through South Park?
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 21: Because they do those things. Well, South Park is very
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 21: coded with the messaging.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 22: I don't know.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 21: But we'll, I guess, keep watching to see what happens here.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: If it even comes.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 21: Hopefully it will, though. Now, shifting gears a bit. Speaking
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 21: of race and conversation. So, Jalen Brown and Mahershala Ali
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 21: sat down for a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter. Mahershala
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 21: Ali is interviewing Jalen Brown today. And they get into
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 21: a few different conversations. So Jalen Brown, we talked a
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 21: bit about him talking about, you know, just as a athlete,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 21: being able to give back to community.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown used to play for the Celtics, now plays
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: for the 76ers.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought people would just know.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 21: But yeah, so we talked a bit about him giving
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 21: back and as a black athlete, how it is important
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 21: to him and some of the pushback he receives or
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 21: he's saying he receives.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: So in this interview, he's talking about being more than
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 4: an athlete. Let's take a listen.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 24: The necessity, especially as black men, developing attributes in yourself
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 24: that are beyond any given sport, considering the finite nature
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 24: of sports especially. Can you speak to that?
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 7: I would say this.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 17: It might be a little controversial, but I think it's
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 17: rooted in fear. Even within our own community, there's a pushback,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 17: almost like a hesitancy. Because it's rooted in trauma of experiences,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 17: even from post-traumatic slave effects. Like at one point to
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 17: do anything outside of being a slave was problematic.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: Reading, writing, anything else.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 17: It's similar aspects when you think of like an athlete
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 17: doing anything out of what you're just supposed to be doing.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to just be entertaining me.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 17: You know, I think that abilities that we're given, talents
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 17: are important. God given, I don't have a choice. I
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 17: was given this and I have a responsibility to see
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 17: it out. My responsibility is not to entertain you. Our
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 17: responsibility is to be influential. The fear is projected onto
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 17: us in order to make ourselves smaller, to make ourselves
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 17: more digestible for the.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 24: People who are uncomfortable around you, who.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: Only want you to be the slave.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 5: Respect, you know, because he's right. You know, if you
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 5: think about like where I'm from in South Carolina, like
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 5: they passed. some of the first official anti-literacy laws, and
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 5: they made it illegal to teach an enslaved person to
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 5: write or read.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 21: Do you feel like the part where he was talking
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 21: about how, like, sometimes that even comes from within your
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 21: own community? Like, have y'all felt that? I feel like,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 21: I mean, maybe it's about who you're putting yourself around,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 21: because I feel like within my community and the people
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 21: that I call my tribe, they're always encouraging me to, like, yo,
