Okay, you know, I gotta find something to write songs

Speaker 10 (02:25):
He do he he's freaky smarried to black women.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well, he's just like them all because you know, all
I'm saying is he's seventy nine, and I'm not trying
to joke, but I'm just like, damn bro, like bro,
seventy nine is really old to have a kid, because
how long does men normally live?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Like seventy nine And that's the kicker. Eighty eighty two.

Speaker 9 (02:46):
That's the kicker right there, you know, having the parents.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Around looking like the old daddy. But he wasn't. He
won seventy nine. My dad was old.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
I mean, do you really need your parents?

Speaker 8 (02:57):
If you have like good family around you people, I
can still guide you.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
And I would definitely want my dad right.

Speaker 8 (03:03):
But if you don't have, if you didn't grow up
your dad, you probably wouldn't know until somebody made you
feel bad about it.

Speaker 10 (03:09):
Well, you know this America, every black people joke about
you ain't got no daddy, don't that's like a black joke.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Well, I don't think white people joke about like you
have no father in your life.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I don't think so. I think jokes is jokes.

Speaker 11 (03:22):
No.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
You you go to school, they be like, well, at
least I got two parents at home.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
You you don't even know who your dad is.

Speaker 9 (03:28):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
All right, right though.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
You all I'm saying is high school Jack graduation, big dog,
You're gonna be there.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
God, God, you're gonna be eighty nine. That's ninety six.
God will had congratulations at the graduation.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
They'll be in that wheelchair like yeah, yeah, yeah, like
they like they was in Life for the movie The
Life hit it to the upper room.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
By tell about their line about Jeezus, he's.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Gonna be right there, ready to go, so little one
walk across that stage. Boy, you're gonna kick the bucket. Okay,
we're gonna go. Prayers up for Jamie Fox? Could we
do some snaps for Jamie Fox? We do have some
intel from BT said something off camera? Can you saying
on camera?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Ser Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I talked to one of Fox's personal friends and because
I was nervous, I'm not gonna lie. I was hosting
the club last night and the DJ was like, Yo,
we want to do something for Jamie Fox and you know,
saying prayers up.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
And I said, man, I don't want to do that.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
I don't think I should say that on a microphone
because it sounds like he's in a bad place. Because
if you went on Twitter, yesterday, it was like he
was like trending number one about his health. So I
called one of his personal friends and I was like,
hey man, you know, I'm a little concerned because we
we've had news in the past about other people in
the culture that we thought were doing well, you know,

(04:47):
from the media, and it wasn't that case. And you know,
he said, Jamie Fox is good, that he's in good spirits,
and you know, uh, he said that, you know, Fox
is just a personal a private person, and he doesn't
That's just how he've always been. So he said, don't
believe all the stuff that you see on the internet,
because he said I talked to him almost every day.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
I think the thing about it is people love him
so much that they want to make sure that they
are supporting. But I think whether you know his true
condition or not, just stay preyed up, wish the family.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Well and prayer.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, He's just didn't like the fact that people, you know,
saying that like talking like Fox is like damn near
like on his death bed, and he's like, that's not
the case.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
He said, I just talked to him yesterday.

Speaker 8 (05:29):
Well, there was a headline that was saying that, you know,
his family is preparing.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
For the worst health declines.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
You know.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
So people were shocked by that, but nonetheless, the family
does not need to focus on any of the headlines,
and people don't need to be worried about what is
actually happening while the family is going through it. Just
stay preyed up, send them your love, and that's it.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Should I tell my favorite Jamie Fox, so they.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Be not the usual well yeah, unpredictable.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Babies.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Name is revealed after one of the Wu Tang's founding members, Rizza, Uh,
can we pronounce?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Can you help me pronounce this middle name? Though? I
think it's Mayors? So you said this about I think so?

Speaker 9 (06:13):
Yeah, because so Rizza Alston Mayor.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
I like that. I really like that name.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Sound like rz A has always rich.

Speaker 10 (06:24):
Rizza has always been like a cool name, mysticol name.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
A rich name. And I don't even think Rizza Isa's
real name though it's not.

Speaker 10 (06:32):
But it's definitely a cool name, and it's it's very powerful.
It seems to me, like, you know, like when you
hear the Rizza, you know, even.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
The whole thinking about karate.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Okay, I just think celebrities just can name their kids whatever.
They want to name them because they know that they're
going to be good. Like when I was coming up,
your parents would just name you anything and it would
be bad. And then you just go to your white
friend's house and like, what's your name? My name is Author.
Watch your family name you author? Because that's what I'm
put on my resume. I'm gonna get a good job.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, that is actually my dad's name.

Speaker 9 (07:09):
Everybody has a nice names here.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah on paper, sure, Byron Octavia.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, we could definitely go get corporate jobs on our resume.

Speaker 9 (07:21):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
You don't know what I look like, Sean, is that
you had the game.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
You know what I'm talking about. You're ready for me,
like what we thought you was. You know, they're definitely
not going to expect Oh listen, my listen.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
When I went to school, all the people that I
only met two people named Barron, and they both was white,
and they probably looking at me like how'd you get that?

Speaker 8 (07:46):
Man?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
And the other persons from the movie played.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
It now he ruled my name. But luckily that was
when I was going, you know, out of high school.

Speaker 9 (07:55):
You know a ton of black Byrons.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
I didn't know. Well, I grew up in Arkansas.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
The second was from movie and then you're the second
Byron I've ever met. And then we got a Barron
one of the interns walking around in here.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
There's a very rich man named Byron Allen, who you know,
Bron Allen, And it was a poor named Lord Byron too.

Speaker 8 (08:14):
Oh God, when I jump into Uber, they'd be like Suzanne, like, yeah,
you wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Expect that at all, Yes, and then.

Speaker 8 (08:22):
They immediately go back to the hip hop station. I'd
be like friand you had to change.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Would you'all rename yourselves as y'all wanted to, or I.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Win the game myself unless it was like Lord Byron
or something where.

Speaker 10 (08:33):
Your parents I'm guessing like relative for you Byron.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
No, it actually came from white Man.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Oh, my mom named me after Sean Connery, the actor
that's e A and Sean Connery.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
My mom was friends with this white dude she used
to gamble with. It's her favorite actor, Sean Connery.

Speaker 9 (08:50):
But what did you say your mom had new a gambler.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, so my mom used to gamble and this white
dude that she was friends with.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's that's how they was friends. Though she was like Byron,
there you go, she went a lot with them. Yeah, okay,
maybe here a good luck charge. Yeah, I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I never gambled, because my mom actually got shot behind gambling. Yeah,
she got shot as behind gambling.

Speaker 9 (09:18):
Did she lose or something or she no?

Speaker 4 (09:19):
So she was gambling with someone and I guess apparently
the people that was there that one of the guys
owed somebody some money, so they you know, kicked the
gambling house in and just started shooting.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
But they were trying to shoot him, right, and she.

Speaker 8 (09:33):
Got yes, you said she got shot in the Assasi.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
My mama lived through some crazy Kansas.

Speaker 9 (09:40):
Where your name came from.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
My mama let my sister name me.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
So by the time my mama had me, they had
been in America for like eight months because my mom
came to the States pregnant and my sister had a
Susanne in her class and was like.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
I like this name Suzanna and she was like, all right,
that's dope. I guess. I guess.

Speaker 8 (09:58):
So it's very Caucasian to be first generation American.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
They went all the way right generation.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
American in my family to my family from the Islands.

Speaker 11 (10:08):
Yeah, your name came from Oh yeah, I was waiting
on somebody to ask, Okay, well, my name came from
a street in California and San Francisco named Octavia.

Speaker 9 (10:19):
If you go there you will find it.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
So you go there and be like, yo, this is
my street.

Speaker 10 (10:23):
Actually have a picture by it. You know, I'm originally
from California. No, it's just uh, it's just a street
name Octavia. And there's actually a street name Nactavia Plaza,
Orleans too. My homegirl from a New Orleans send me
a picture of my name.

Speaker 9 (10:40):
But it's it's very uh. I think it's Roman, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
So yeah, because it's it's.

Speaker 9 (10:52):
My name on there.

Speaker 10 (10:52):
And my dad had an old Mustang and he couldn't
you know, in San Francisco they have steep heels, so
he couldn't get hard to start, and he was trying
to get up a hill and so he was like, Lord,
if I name, if I if I get up this
hill on the name my baby after this street. And that's.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
A crazy story.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
You should go around and let people know that you're
the street is named after you, so that you know
you can go to get.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Some free car to walk around and tell people.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
I want her to go into stores and be like, yo,
y'all know this street is named after me. And if
it wasn't for me, y'all business, definitely.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Take a trip to Octavia here yea here, yeah, in
San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
For the world.

Speaker 10 (11:35):
It's all over you know, the United States and the street,
Like I said, my homegirl, she's from New Orleans and
she sent me a picture of my name on the street.
Like I said, it's it's Romans, so uh, it comes
from you know, those times like when you go to
when you go to different places like the DC.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Princess George, everybody you don't.

Speaker 10 (11:55):
Octavia, you now, women can't be lords.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
But well, everybody's watching this tour.

Speaker 9 (12:08):
That Beyonce is on right now.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
She's officially kicked off in Stockholm, Sweden. Some of the
clips are flooding social media right now, and all our
reactions are not giving the greatest reactions. They I guess
they expect more from Beyonce. They've been waiting. They haven't
seen any visuals from the Renaissance album. And I guess
whatever their expectations were, they are.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
No longer in her twenties.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
Got that's not what it is. That's not what it is.

Speaker 10 (12:38):
But some people in the comments are saying they think
that this may be her last tour.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
The tickets cost a house.

Speaker 8 (12:45):
People want to see magic and sometimes Beyonce does not
change her dance routines, like that is very real. What
she will do is bring in something trendy, like for example,
she showed love to lil Uzi and did the you know,
did that dance or whatever?

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Yea, yeah, all that.

Speaker 8 (13:03):
But like if we're gonna keep it real, she has
a pretty consistent show every tour, Like and by consistent,
I mean you kind of know a dance move she's
gonna do. You kind of know how the pyro action
is gonna go. But I think she gives her all
the time. The clips that I've seen, she's been extremely energetic.

Speaker 10 (13:23):
And not only that, a lot of people are looking
for some of her old dancers. In the comments I
was scanning, they're like, oh, we're such and such words.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Man, if people get new dancers all the time, like
nobody's gonna some dancers are just like domestic dancers. And
then you know, you go across season, you get the
international dances.

Speaker 10 (13:40):
Like you said, she may have picked up some of
the overseas dancers too, you know, to be you know,
inclusive or whatever, but not only that, it's the first show.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
And that's what I was getting to ye, I think, you.

Speaker 10 (13:49):
Know, sometimes a lot of things go wrong when when
you know things kick off, but you know, just give
it a chance, just let it, let it grow. I'm
pretty sure you know stuff will start picking up.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Yeah, relaxed people, because what I learned is that when
most people go on tour, they always start off with
small markets so they can perfect the show.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
That's what a lot of people don't understand.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
So when you see people going tour, they always start
the small markets and later on down the line on
the tour they go to the big markets.

Speaker 10 (14:14):
And it's Beyonce, you know what I'm saying, She's gonna
have the best of the best and she I feel
like it will grow into like something iconic because look
at us your show. I'm pretty sure the way that
it is is now was not how it was when
it first started.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
In Bags.

Speaker 5 (14:27):
People change their show up all the time, and it's
beyond y'all get to see Beyonce, man.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Damn they paid for it.

Speaker 8 (14:33):
But though Beyonce has actually been known to like keep
the same dancers for a very long time, if you
go back videos, yeah, you'll see the same people over
and no.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Shit, they probably got old movie right along.

Speaker 10 (14:49):
Suspect in Young Dolph's murder, Hernandez Govan, has a bond
set to ninety K. He was charged with first degree
murder and conspiracy to commit first degree murder.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Not enough. I mean, I don't think he gonna bond
out anyways.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
If he does get if he if this guy does
make bail or post his bill, you know the streets.

Speaker 9 (15:12):
Will you need to find a safe house.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
It ain't safe.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
It ain't safe for him.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
I just don't understand how these guys allegedly get hired
to commit murder but they can't post their own bill.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
Well, let's just say this, A lot of people commit
murder and uh never get caught. Uh It's like it's
a high it's the highest chance you get caught, but
it's also a chance you don't get caught as well,
and you get you get paid for it, and then
street justice happens and then you get killed down the line.
So we always see like retaliation murders. We don't even
know what these murders be happening, but it's a retaliation

(15:46):
from a murder that happened prior to that. So a
lot of street stuff happens and we don't even know
because we're not in the streets.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
And they probably don't want to use any of that
money on bail. Maybe they're in a desperate situation and
will rather give them money to their family, like they
may have making the job that money.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
I don't understand how people still commend crimes when there's
cameras everywhere. We used to just go to Kroger's and
try to steal some candy and then they'd be like, hey,
it's a camera watching you right in four Na's.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Camera at the stoplight.

Speaker 10 (16:15):
Cameras, camera get more advanced because of AI.

Speaker 9 (16:19):
Yeah, artificial intelligence about to change the whole.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Life is coming. You see what they do in China.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Well, in China that the video on you walking, they
have your face, your face recognition, So if you ever
committed a crime, you're going to get caught the same
day because there's cameras scanning your face.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
And just in your car. Yeah, and and going to
be on the new iPhone too.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, listen, they already got they already scanning people's phases.
And when you go to the airport and go to Delta.
Because I don't understand that line, then.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Listen I do it well.

Speaker 10 (16:52):
On b ET they have a new season of College
Hill featuring Jostling, Hernandez and Tiffany New York Collard.

Speaker 9 (16:59):
And they have clips all online.

Speaker 10 (17:01):
But on this particular clip, Tiffany Pollard is grieving the
loss of her dog. She referred to her dog as
her daughter, and Jocelyn just doesn't get it. She thinks
that she's talking about a human being, and once she
finds out that she's talking about a dog, she kind.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
Of belittles the situation.

Speaker 10 (17:18):
She's like, I want my hood back. I thought you
was talking about a human being.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't like that.

Speaker 8 (17:22):
I am a dog lover, and y'all know that through
and through love all the dogs that I've ever encountered
in my life. I'm so grateful to have another dog now.
I just think that Jocelyn is insensitive. I just think
that if she doesn't feel like something is important to her,
then it's just not important. She cannot relate to a feeling.
She's not gonna try. I don't that's messed up. That's

(17:46):
cold bloody.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
Well, my dad lost his dog named Puffy he had.
Puffy was allied for fourteen human years, which is time seven.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I forgot how many years that is.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
It also depends on the breed, the size.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
It's a very and my dad was so sad. I
had to literally call him check on him, make sure
he's good. But you know, animals are I think, their
spirits on this on this planet. And you don't have
to agree with someone grieving to even you know, to
be empathetic towards towards that person losing something. You could

(18:20):
lose something that's not even alive and be upset, you
know what I'm saying. So to lose a pet, you know,
especially if you're super attachment them. Dogs speak your language, man,
I don't. I'm not a big cat guy, don't like
I can't say I like cats, but I like dogs.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Dogs can read your thoughts.

Speaker 8 (18:35):
In my mind, dogs are the only creatures that love
you more than they love themselves.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
I love I love all types of animals, and people
got to understand sometimes you will get a personal turtle relationship.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
What a what a dog?

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Because you can come home sad and your dog know
that you're sad and cheer you up. And it's just
it's a lot of things that come behind, you know,
people emotion, and you can't be little in people because
what if somebody fish died and you know they were
attached today fish. It is like people have different personal
relationships with with you know, other people than humans.

Speaker 8 (19:12):
When my chocolate lab asked in transition July first and
twenty one, literally Rriy and I had our afternoon show
on the radio together and I could not work.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
I had to umber.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
It happened. We hugged, I hugged. We had for like
five minutes.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
I couldn't work, I couldn't function like and I knew
that she was transitioning because it got to the point
where she needed so many fluids that I had to
start administering the fluids myself. The vet literally taught me
how to give her fluids instead of bringing her to
the vet four or five times a week. They were like,
you know what, at this point, just keep her comfortable.

(19:45):
Do it at homes is how you do it. But
the day that we had to put her down, like
that's so sad, Oh my god, it was the most
heartbreaking thing to sit there with her and like try
to comfort her and you can literally hear her last
breath and you just.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
That's that's cold blood of Jocelyn. That's cold blooded.

Speaker 9 (20:04):
If you can't, you know, deny an attachment.

Speaker 10 (20:06):
You know a lot of people, what if some you know,
what if a woman can't have kids and that's all
they have is their dog or their pets.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
You know, animals do save lives all types of stuff,
you know, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
They sure do.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
I see I see dogs on planes all the time,
you know, because you can you know, sometimes people have
those for you know, being dependent.

Speaker 9 (20:25):
Yes, of course, yep, yep.

Speaker 4 (20:27):

Speaker 9 (20:27):
You can even mistreat a dog and they come right back.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
New segment alert, it's called keep it a Stack. Would
you date somebody who is unattractive.

Unattractive in well way? What are we talking about physically?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, unattractive and got his ship together together. Yeah, that's
a good better because it's.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Some attractive people that ain't got their ship together, and
it's a lot of attractive and it's a lot of
unattractive people that got their ship together.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
I think that attraction could grow.

Speaker 8 (21:00):
I think you can be cool with somebody, be friends
with somebody for two, three, four, five years and never
had been attracted to them in a romantic type of way.
But then one day, all of a sudden, this person
does something or you just started to notice a certain quality.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
It's like, no, you might just want to go to lunch.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
And then Hutch just be.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
Like, you know what, so and so is attractive.

Speaker 8 (21:21):
I can see something with this person, like I never
saw him in this light before, and then you know,
you may become interested.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Shout out to be someone I never forget. I did
a podcast with her and she said, I like ugly men.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
The uglier the better.

Speaker 6 (21:37):
I mean, I've dated some man.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I've heard that a good man or something. She just
said she like them real ugly.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
They dedicated.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
You know you know what girl told A girl told
me that before too. Yeah, that's why I heard. A
girl told me that. She said, she said we ended
up being friends. She was like, I could never date you,
and I was like wow, She's like, because you're not
ugly enough for me. And she said, I like them
ugly because they're gonna be dedicated. They're gonna do everything
that I need them to do, and they're gonna be

(22:07):
all focused on me because you're the prized baby.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Some ugly men they are cheaters too, and thank you
and beaters to thank you.

Speaker 8 (22:14):
Everybody got the ability to cheap it a stack, keep
it a stack.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
The ugly niggas got bad credit to the usually like it.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
You're gonna have to have, you know, some cash flow,
something going yeah or that long John Silver, I mean
thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
You guys got updates on the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yes, the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks are
going to six games.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Nobody cares. Nobody cares about that. Miami Heat should be winners.
Nobody cares about conference finals.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Yes, Sirsky, I was so upset last night, the night
before last because my boys lost in New York. So
by the time this actually no, when this airs, Miami
Heat will be playing tonight in Miami and New York
is going down. Well, Los Angeles Lakers played in La

(23:13):
Gold to State tonight.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Going down. They're going down to No, They're not going down.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Outside of being a Hawks fans, because I have a
lot of friends that play for the Hawks, I'm a
Warriors fan and I believe in Steph Curry, and I
think you think Steph Curry is going to force a
Game seven. I think he's going to force a Game seven.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Ain't gonna happen, Captain.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
I think that's what's gonna happen, because you know what,
the Lakers, they've been doing a lot of flopping. And
Steve kurda coach, he made sure that he went to
the refs and talked to the media and say, hey,
these guys are doing a lot of flopping, and guess
what they didn't get on them calls this past game,
and guess what happened today as they went down.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
I'm going for a finals preview that happened in the bubble.
I wanted to be Los Angeles Lakers versus the Miami Heat.
That's gonna be the best of both worlds right there
in l A one game is gonna be in Miami.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Isn't that the best playoffs? Ever? No, No, it's not Miami, LA. Nobody,
nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants to see game
one and two in Miami. Y'all don't even have y'a
don't even have fans. Y'all don't even have fans.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Anytime you look at TV, if y'all pay attention, I'll
pay attention.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
To those Miami he games, they're in the club. They
come no fans. It's always empty. Every time you look
on TV, them chairs be empty, as.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Hands quarter is empty, the second quarter is empty. It's
not it's always empty. How is it the playoffs? You
shouldn't even want to go to the club.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
If you're in the playoffs, you gonna sit your ass
right there.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
When I went to the Hosts game, nobody moved, even
when they went on Breaby and it went to TV
commercials and everybody.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Living in Arkansas. There's no basketball team there. You know,
you guys just have football. Don't don't bring one from
one from don't bring We party and have a good time.
It could be Taco Tuesday. We're gonna be eating tacos,
watching the game.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Then we're gonna go to our seats. Okay, that's usually
gonna be second quarter.

Speaker 9 (24:59):
The club behind the goal.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
I ain't never been to Miami and heard somebody, Hey man,

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Now, when Lebron was there, y'all was lit. Shout out

It's because you keep talking about because you don't.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Care Miami Heat going to the finals. People want to
see Steph Curry yet five winning, but yet we're winning.
Got it? Got it makes sense? Makes complete?

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Fucking Hey, Katie, Katie, Katie, you better win against Denver
because you went to another super team.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
He's losing and and we expected you to go to
the finals. Fresh l off the grill, not fresh l
off the grill. Come on, I believe that Katie didn't
have polo traffic. He's a thief, so polo traffic chick
in on the grill. You never taste the chicken. It's
good fresh al, it's good coming off the grill. I believe, ayah,

(26:11):
what we got next?

Speaker 10 (26:12):
Oci versus money?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's love versus money on the ball or alert show
back with love versus money.

Speaker 10 (26:22):
I give the couple and you let me know if
they're there for love or it's just business. Business today
today we have somebody who may be broken up, maybe
on the birge.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I don't know if this is for what, but y'all.
Let me know Kroy Beerman and him Zosiac.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Oh yeah, if they housewives is for the money, long man,
if you a housewife, you there for the money.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
He used to play for the Atlanta Falcons. I don't
know he played for it after that, but all I
know is he does. So he got money any longer.
So he got money.

Speaker 9 (26:54):
Then niggas file for divorce had money.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
And let me just hit you out with a lot
more facts.

Speaker 10 (26:58):
You know, they were together, they got married, they had
she had four additional children with him. She previously had
two and he adopted her kids. And so her kids,
her two girls have his last name. They have like
I said, they have four more kids together. Uh they
you know, he is younger than her, He's he's a
lot younger than her.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (27:20):
They their house got foreclosed on, like I said, and
now she's filing for divorce.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
I think that this relationship could have been loved, but
I think it was a financial decision.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Damn believen.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
When the pot gets hot, fire is lit, it's a
whole bunch of shit going on, and she gone, damn
weapon too, playing bed.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
I think this is tricky because sometimes love just ain't enough,
Like what you're gonna do. Live in a box like
Kim likes her lifestyle, the.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
Richard for four Damn there is not abiding by what
they said.

Speaker 8 (27:56):
I do for But it's not just like the losing
they or not having a lot of money. Sometimes that
messes with a person's psyche, right, Like this man might
not be as confident as he used to be. He
might not be as present as he used to be.
He may be in a whole nother space. He might
be an asshole. He may have turned us emotionally abusive

(28:17):
because he's not feeling good about himself.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
There's a lot that goes.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
With damn happen. Yeah, the house got let go. That's
what happened. You said something happened. The money got low, and.

Speaker 8 (28:29):
Maybe maybe he wasn't telling her that he wasn't keeping
up the mortgage if that was his responsibility.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
And she feels like, damn lied to me, Like I.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Told you what happened. The money got low and she
ready to go.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
That's what that's what had money too, though you should
have helped pay on his bill to keep this.

Speaker 10 (28:46):
And another fact is she quit Housewives on her own show,
so I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Where it was my baby. It's time to get back
to work, baby, time to get back to work. We
got to keep this house, we got to keep this
money going. I'm a little low right now. I need
you to put in.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
So do you I think she'll go back on the
Real Housewives.

Speaker 10 (29:01):
Probably she was doing in between times. I don't know
if she had a Josh Ferrari.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
She did, she was on TV. She got, you know,
doing that. She quit that, but she was like getting
booked and stuff for what for? Like who she is?

Speaker 5 (29:14):
Man?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
You know she's doing that.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
She calling that, dude, Andy right now, say I'm ready
to come back. I got a story to tell you.

Speaker 6 (29:21):
My life is dramatic.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I got a story to tell you. So for the love.
I'm not saying it's for the money.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
If you if you a housewife, you are definitely dude,
don't say that.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Be careful.

Speaker 10 (29:31):
But mind you, Kim had a sugar daddy before, did
big pop up, before she even got married to Croy.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
I don't think what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
If you're on a reality TV show called Housewives, you
are definitely there for the money. Okay, okay, We'll be
right back with more of the Baller Alert Show.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
You're listening to a special edition of the Baller Alert Show.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Hey y'all, it's Coco Jones and you're listening to the
Baller Alert Show.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Super started the building. We're doing snaps, job.

Speaker 6 (30:08):
Snap for myself.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well good.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Every time I come over here, I feel like, dang,
my life has changed so much since the last time.
Like I remember when I was here for my listening
session before my EP even came out, and everybody was like, Yo,
this is fired, and I was like, and now I'm like,
I guess that was right, because uh, you sitting they're
doing it.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
Atlanta shows you love because I know you hosted a
party of Rose Bar shout out to Mike Clay and then,
like you said.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
You're performing strength of a Woman. Baller Alert.

Speaker 8 (30:36):
The last time Ferrari and I spoke to you, we
had our radio show on the station. But baby, you're
doing your thing. Ron Hurd told me a story the
other day about a visit you made a visit to
Sludy Vegan m HM, and these young fans approached you
and it made you super emotional. I think you had
kind of realized that, like, oh my god, people loved me,

(30:56):
they follow me. This is A real thing is that
when you felt like Oco Jones is arriving.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I actually had this moment on one of my first
performances where I was headlining, since I don't know, probably
like sixteen seventeen. I was at Howard Theater and I
literally was like choking up when they were singing I
See You. I just could not I could not believe
how passionate they were and how they knew every word.

(31:25):
I was just like, Wow, the last time I even
felt like this, I was sixteen. It's been so long,
and I was like, whoa, I'm about to crying the
club let it out crazy?

Speaker 9 (31:33):
Did you expect you to go viral on TikTok No?

Speaker 5 (31:36):
Because that song was everywhere.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
I never know what's going to do, whatever it's going
to do. I just try to do what I can
do and then let the rest.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Like God control the rest.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
It makes people like Ron's job super easy.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
How did you come up with When I See You? Well?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I actually had heard the music first.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I was I was with Camper and he's an amazing producer.
He was play me a lot of beats and I
was going there to do something up beat. I was
like I'm trying to do a five, six, seven and
eight because also in my performances, I love to do
choreo and keep it high energy as much as possible.
And I heard the track that became ICU and I
tried to just like I was like, oh, okay, that
was powerful, moving on, moving on, moving on, But I

(32:16):
couldn't really move on, and so I was like, can
you go back to that one song?

Speaker 5 (32:20):
And I knew. I was like, we got to write
to this.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I just can't hear a music like this that I
already I already felt the song, I even wrote it,
so I was like, I can't skip this.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
So you just mad.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
The way that John is going everywhere. No, I didn't
even say that.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
When John Queeze the remixing, you know, and that's a
hard song to do, and what he didn't do it
like you.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
I'm just saying, I said, John Quee's remix it's a hit,
a pause to it.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
Yet I.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Know you talked about it.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
I said, leave me out of it.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'm not even again.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
No, I didn't know what was or wasn't going to
be a hit. I still don't know what the formula is.
I just know feeling and from what I've been told,
like is the feeling that really sticks? You know? When
I finished that song, we were kind of like celebrating,
even though it's very emotional song and very raw emotions, we.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Were kind of like, that was crazy.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Felt good, it felt right.

Speaker 8 (33:23):
I think, you know it's crazy when for me anyway,
sometimes I have to listen to a song over and
over again before I actually really get into it.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
But I see you.

Speaker 8 (33:30):
It was like the first time I heard it, I
was like, Okay, this is a pop like, let me
run it back. So it definitely sticks, but why release
a ballad first off of this new album?

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I think it was well from what my team kind
of explained to me because I asked the same, I
was like, guys, please, they're gonna love this and only
want me to do ICU and then I'm about to
be like, EMG hij k element only ic you vibes.
But from what they explained to me, and I'm really
grateful that I have a team who's been there and
done that because I don't know. I only know one perspective.

(34:02):
But they were basically saying like they wanted to showcase
my vocals, like what sets me apart, and then of
course I can do these other things that I also do,
like what I didn't tell you EPs, so many different
flavors of music, so many different sides of my actual personality.
But I think it was first like if you're introducing people,
do you want them to know?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
How do you want them to know you? The voice?

Speaker 10 (34:23):
The more introduced with the voice, it's just like Melanie
Fiona when It Kills Me came out, it's like whoa,
you know, with.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
A broth of fresh air, just like this.

Speaker 10 (34:31):
You know, everybody's doing fast records, so we needed that ballot.
You know, when money Long came with hours and hours,
people was like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
It was always a treating.

Speaker 10 (34:41):
When we get a ballot like that. So I love
that they put that out first.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
Well, ballot to go like that, It lets you know
it's a hit. And I wanted to ask you was
there any type.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Of a relief.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Like when people are saying I like her as a singer,
I like her as an artist and not the actress.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Absolutely, because you know, it's.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Kind of difficult.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
It's difficult for people to say you're a musician and
I like you and believe it, and I believe it.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yes, it was such a sigh of relief.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
I've had so many size of relief in the last
two years, like Wow, okay, this is working. Wooh, I
have a great team. Woo, have a label who understands me. Whoa,
I have a hit team. It's just like wow, Yes,
this is a lot of relief because you're striving for
these goals and you want them really bad. You live
and breathe these things, and I could see them for

(35:33):
myself when my situation did not match. So to finally
see these pieces come together where it's like I don't
have to like visualize having a number one EP.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
I saw it, that happened.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
I got screenshot that that's in time, that's in my journey,
that's in my story. Like it's a relief, and it's
also like such a grateful, humble feeling too that I'm
just like thank you God, Like I really couldn't have
put these pieces together myself, so I'm just happy and
grateful that it's happening like this.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Who's somebody that reached out to you recently that you
was like, wow, I can't believe this person you know
reached out to me.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Well, I will say a crazy, crazy experience was when
I was at the Rock Nation brunch.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Okay, how was that?

Speaker 5 (36:13):
It was amazing?

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Like how did I get here? And I was waiting
for of course I was waiting for Beyonce because hello,
come on, like you know that's the that's the formula
that's there. Yeah, well I don't know about but me personally, yes,
everybody waiting.

Speaker 9 (36:30):
Everybody was waiting.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
And low key though. That kind of is how it felt.
Because when she walked in the room, like it was
pretty much when the event was over, it was giving
world stop hearing.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
On very much.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Just like she said, everyone turned and like the room
it was like the room went on. It was like
on tilt and we all like slid towards her. It
was so crazy to watch because I was by the
waffles because I was about to get me a waffle
and leave. I was like, anyway, it's coming up, and
here's time to go. I've been here since brunch, it's
dinner time. I haven't eaten because nobody really eats at
the Rock Nation bruns. I not to go faint, but
then I just was like, something's happening. I saw Michelle.

(37:00):
Something's brewing here. And then of course, Beyonce walked in
and what was crazy is we was all on strategy time.
My manager was like trying to talk to her bubblicist
and then trying to talk to me, trying to get
in front of the crowd because we were all walking
in there, and then I was trying to get in
front of the crowd. My homeboy who takes photos of her,
was looking at me, and I'm looking at him like
can I go over there?

Speaker 2 (37:15):
My manager's like, it's on you. We can't do it
over here.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
She passed our area and I'm like, okay, okay, I'm
about to do like dodgeball trying to get in here.
And she looked at me and she was like, oh,
I know you.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Snap snap snaps. Go ahead, keep going.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
She was like, you'll be singing your ass off. I
literally felt like frozen in time.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
She's talking to me. I was like, huh.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
I was like, keep it cool, you keep it cool.
So literally the oscar goes too, cause I was screaming,
crying and throwing up inside.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
I'm telling it.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
I was like, I.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Cannot believe that the the goal knows me and actually
acknowledged me and what I'm doing has seen me and
she was like, keep doing your thing.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
I'm proud of you.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
I was like, since you said it, I definitely will
I get up, But.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Since you said it, I'm gonna keep going.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
It was crazy, that's what.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
You what did you say? Thank you so much?

Speaker 3 (38:06):
And I was like, you know how inspirational you are
to all of us, so thank you for being who
you are. And that was that player. And then I
walked outside and I was giving a little thug tear.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
That's what I was talking about.

Speaker 6 (38:16):
What they would have to put me out, Like get
this girl out.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
Now? Who is entertaining Coco? Coco in a relationship? L
O l O L Is that somebody sliding in the dms?
Do you read dms?

Speaker 3 (38:30):
I do read them sometimes, Yeah, because there be there'll
be money opportunities in there.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I got to inquire.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
But I will say right now, I'm really it would
have to be a really special son of a gun
to take me away from the actual hyper focused mindset
that I am on my career right now, because I
always be saying to myself, if I look back and
I was distracted and it wasn't for something intentional that
was going to be worth the time and the investment.
Then there's nobody to blame but me. So I'll be

(38:59):
kicknicked and having fun. You know, I gotta find something
to write songs about.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Dates.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Yeah, I've talked to a bunch of different I've talked
to a bunch of different career fields. Sometimes there's nothing
to even do with music. Sometimes it's like business and
I'm like, low key, I'm like, I don't really enjoy
having somebody in the same career field because then I
don't like when we're out at events and stuff like.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Why are you here?

Speaker 2 (39:26):
But I'm like, oh, you work here.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
You want a regular guy, You're given all the regular guys.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Driver, you guys, everyone slowed down.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Everybody pause. But I think he means like maybe someone
like a doctor. Yeah, I would.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
I would definitely not steer away from somebody who's in
a different field that's not all glitz and glamor, because
that stuff is just pretend anyway, and it's really the
character and the work ethic as well. I want somebody
who I can respect, you know.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
That's oh yeah, it just gotta it into that category.

Speaker 6 (40:02):
I was just gonna say, your new.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Song double back, that's of course everybody in the room
has double backs, have they not? Or are somebody in
here perfect?

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Everybody? Everybody on the double back for the right person.
So so who in particular? What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (40:19):
You are messy dot com?

Speaker 1 (40:20):
No, no, no, I just wanted to know. I think
we're friends right now? Don't friends? Come?

Speaker 8 (40:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I mean, damn, Now he gonna DM and he gonna
text her, he gonna text her the no names. How
did the concept of n come about?

Speaker 3 (40:36):
Basically when I had heard the song, Lendon on the
track produced it and he was like, Yo, we got
this fire song and I think you'd be perfect for it,
And of course I was really inspired, and I just
thought about what SWB and like rain on me, like
who would who would I want to feel that way for?
And I'm like, hell, it's it's definitely a past it's
a past situation.

Speaker 5 (40:56):
I was thinking, dang, why why is it all with him?

Speaker 3 (40:58):
I was like, hmmm, interesting, But I feel like right now,
like I said, it would have to be worth the time,
and nine times out of ten when you go back
to that situation, the variables are the same, so it's
going to be the same outcome, and insanity is doing
the same thing. Over and over again, expecting a different result. Hello,
So no, thank you right later, maybe when I'm bored.

(41:19):
If I get bored right now, I'm busy.

Speaker 6 (41:20):
That's the reason I'm find you're gonna get that.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
Trouble because now that that dude she's talking about is
gonna is gonna text her about that dude when when
he said speaking.

Speaker 10 (41:31):
You're doing as quick fixed with Terrell, y'all was cooking.
Have you been practicing because you was not that ain't
not too much on me?

Speaker 5 (41:39):
Not too much on me, because I do we cooking.
You know, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
When I actually have free time, I really do like
to cook.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
It's fun.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
I feel like I'm on Vetty Crocker energy. And then
I'd be like getting all my ingredients I want to try,
like a new recipe, something fun, and then.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
I get to eat signature dish.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Well, my easiest one that I know I'm gonna do
right is like checking out fredsh and by Fred or
something like okay, you know, I feel like that's the
and when the girls very but please.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
It's easy. What chicken alfredo is like common?

Speaker 3 (42:04):
It's like I don't know why, but it's like a
very all the girls who be like cooking.

Speaker 8 (42:08):
They like.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Some alfreido for my man should be.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Happy as hell.

Speaker 10 (42:13):
I forgot one thing, but they put you on light duty.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
I don't know what they had me doing, but one
thing about sorell When we're on the teen cocoke. When
we're cooking on tin cocoa, it's always a terribly, terribly
difficult rescue. But my mama, I'm gone from the South.
I'm from Tennessee, so I'm commend them. They know how
to cook. My grandma cook everything from scratch. So I
did watch all of that, and I think it's really
really cool and it's a passion of mine. I want
to be able to really throw it down. Okay, Like

(42:38):
that's a different like skill. It's cool, But do I
have the time to practice right now?

Speaker 5 (42:41):
Now?

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Right?

Speaker 9 (42:42):
You here one day but not now?

Speaker 8 (42:43):
You want to like cook for your man, like have
dinner ready for him when when a man comes into
your life.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Well, I'm like being realistic with myself.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
I'm like, when would that even be that I'm home
in enough time to cook dinner before he's home. I mean,
if I went to the studio, I'm not getting home
till twelve one too.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Maybe he needs to be cooking for you, you.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Can, I could prep and maybe he could be the chef. Yeah,
or maybe people get home and that's a private chef.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
There it is. It's all good.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Speaking of men.

Speaker 10 (43:12):
You had your pretend man Jazz and uh you left him.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
On on Red on the on the season finale, man
taking to take a slip, taking a zip from.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
So good?

Speaker 1 (43:27):
I love it.

Speaker 8 (43:28):
Man.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
How have you acclimated from beginning to now?

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Well, I've learned a lot about balance, and I've learned
a lot about commitments. I mean, technically, I signed my
names with two huge entities music which is Deaf Jam
and High Standard my joint Venture and NBC Peacock Belair,
and it's two huge companies and they want the best
of me, you know. And so I've learned a lot

(43:54):
about commitments and the things that you agree to. And
of course everything worth anything is hard and difficult, but that.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Payoff it be, it'd be worth the heart of the difficult.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
But it's no joke balancing everything because I know how
important it is to represent Hillary well and how important
that is for culture and history, and I know how
important it is for me to introduce myself to the
world and be as authentic as I can be, so
people get that Hillary is a character and I'm gonna
eat that character up. But then also you're gonna know
the difference between Hillary and Coco.

Speaker 9 (44:23):
And you're doing such a great job and that whole
the whole cast.

Speaker 8 (44:26):
I love.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Hey, you're just doing a good job. That congratulations, y'all
got up picked.

Speaker 9 (44:30):
Up for season three?

Speaker 11 (44:31):
Right?

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Yes, yes, are you excited? Of course? Of course we yes.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
To ask a question because you said a keyword on
Big Mental Health guy and you set balance because it's
very difficult, easier said than done. Are there moments where
it's like a transgression where you're like, man, this is
too much? Or do you have help with maintaining your schedule?
How do you maintain both keep a levelhead? Yeah, as

(44:58):
a family, you know.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
That's a real question.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
I do have help in balancing my schedule and scheduling
things out. It's so weird to say that I have
an assistant, but I do have an assistant because I tried.

Speaker 5 (45:11):
To like not do that.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
I was like, ew no, but I was like, now,
my mental is a little tacking, you know, and there
are certain things that I just I could do them
but then I'd be like, well that's less sleep doing
that one thing that could be done by somebody else,
you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, what's more important?
Like sleep so that I can be prepared for being
on set at five am till five pm and then
going to the studio till as long as I can take,

(45:34):
you know what I'm saying. So I do have an
assistant now, and he is amazing, like literally legit. And
I think also, I'm very big on therapy, and so
I'll tell my sister, like, this hour blocks her therapy
and everything has to be scheduled around that, because what
good is it for me to run it up and
be mentally? How often do I go to therapy? It

(45:56):
really just depends on my schedule, but definitely minimum once
a month, but if things are going crazy, then more
than once in like maybe twice a month or maybe three.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
Times, however much you need it.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
I appreciate you saying that, Yeah, it's real.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
I mean if you go to the doctor for your health,
and I feel like therapy is just like the mental do.

Speaker 6 (46:13):
Is bel affected by the writer's strike?

Speaker 3 (46:15):
I mean I think every show is, because every show
takes writers, and they have to be passionate and they
have to feel heard.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
So yeah, I feel like every show is and.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
You know, in this industry, it's there's are a lot
of things that could be better. Me speaking on the
acting side, colorism and all of those things has been
such a huge part of my limitations that were not
placed on me because of me, you know. So I
feel for everybody in the industry who doesn't feel like
they're getting what they deserve. And I think it really

(46:44):
is important to just continue to make opportunities that are
fair so we can all run it up. There's so
much money to go around.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Yeah, they just want to be cheap. Yeah, I mean, hey,
they don't want to pay these writers.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
Man, these writers are creating great content and they don't
want to pay them.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
I think a lot of businesses are, of course always
trying to pinch pennies, but at the end of the day,
you gotta you gotta pay people when they're valuable.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
What's your dream role Ooh acting?

Speaker 3 (47:08):
I would want to do like a really fire action movie,
Like I really loved Charlie's Angels. Oh yeah, I thought
that was so far like they were all bad and
like they was actually like killing it, So I would
want to do something like that. I think I would
also want to do like a really powerful drama, like
I don't know of a really good example, but just
something that really sets me apart as like, oh she

(47:31):
really liked that, you know, yes, like something really powerful
that just put some respect on my acting.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Man would take I would.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Take an oscar and honestly it begins eventually, I would.
I would definitely welcome that because I've also done Broadway before.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
What do you like more music? Or music?

Speaker 5 (47:50):
Dot com music?

Speaker 8 (47:52):
Why?

Speaker 6 (47:52):
Why is it so serious?

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Singing is what I've been doing my entire life, Even
when I was a baby. I was humming all the time.
It's in all my baby videos. It's so weird to see.
And I think when I started singing, I wanted more,
more opportunities to entertain, more, more feelings that felt like performing.
And my mom, who was you know, my team before
my team, she was like, you want to audition for
this Brocoli commercial? And I was like perfect. I just

(48:16):
wanted more opportunities to feel how singing made me feel.
So I know I wouldn't have started acting if I
never started saying.

Speaker 10 (48:21):
So you like you said, you've been in the industry since,
you know, for a minute, what are some of the
things that you've learned thus far?

Speaker 2 (48:28):
So many lessons.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
I think the lesson that I am trying to continue
to learn right now is that, like, it's business and
things aren't personal all the time, you know what I'm saying, Like,
I want to be able to differentiate what is what,
and especially when things get more cracking, there's a lot

(48:52):
there's a lot more going on, so there's less time
to process things, you.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Know, smoking mirrors and yeah, I want to learn that more.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
But I think with anything, persistence has been the biggest lesson.
A lot of this stuff just happened because I didn't
give up, you know, and everything kind of fell in
the same timing. But if there would have been no timing,
if I just gave up, you know what I'm saying.
So I really want to push that message out too.
When people watch my interviews, I always try to talk

(49:20):
about how long my journey was, in the highs and
the lows, and the points where I was like I'm
done here. I literally don't have it in me to
fight this battle anymore. But something would always keep me here,
and I know it was God, of course, an opportunity,
but it's really just not giving up.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
How long did it take? Do you feel like?

Speaker 3 (49:37):
I feel like if it was up to me, I
moved to LA when I was seventeen, and I had
my first like big moment of stardom when I was fourteen.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
And I'm twenty.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Five, so ten years to me, you're still so young.
I mean, I started as a fetus. But if we're
going back to but if we're starting at nine, then
a hell a long time.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
That's almost I did that math question.

Speaker 5 (50:02):
You're easily the second tallest person in the room, shot Ron.
Ron's actually the tallest person in the room. I know
was an athlete? How was that growing up with a
professional athlete in the household? Did you was sports or
ever idea for you?

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (50:15):
Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (50:16):
I thought basketball was gonna be my way to the top,
But my dad was he was retired by the time
that we were like all old enough. But he had
so much passion and so much joy that came from
his time in the league that he just was They
were so passionate about whatever we wanted to do, just
because he got to live his dream, live like a
one percenter's life, So how is he gonna have such

(50:38):
amazing stories of his glory days and then be like,
you can't sing. That's not realistic. You know, it just
didn't make any sense. So they were really supportive. But
they also instilled a really intense work ethic in us
because they both came from My mom came from entrepreneur background,
and my dad came from athletics, so that combination is crazy.
We would be out in summer doing drills and I'm like, now, now,
what is this for? Because what are we doing here?

(51:00):
Even when I stopped playing basketball and started singing, I
was like, I'm still out here.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
I'm still doing summer camp.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Okay, sure, sure, But you know, I remember like there
was this one time where I was about to perform.
I think I was thirteen, and I don't know what
my dad had said, but it made me start getting
on the elliptical every day.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
At five am.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
And I was like thirteen, and I thought there was
like why did I do that? It was just so
random and wild, But they just exactly I wanted to
be so prepared, and they taught me a lot about
tenacity that I mean, about everything that they are the
reason that I am like I am, you know, and.

Speaker 9 (51:33):
It's serving you now.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Man.

Speaker 10 (51:35):
You got the EP out, Uh, you got bat Layer out?
What's next?

Speaker 1 (51:41):
What else you got? Well?

Speaker 2 (51:42):
I'm really excited to be on tour this summer.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
I mean my EP has blown me away with the
amount of love that it's gotten.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
I mean ever since I've been even in Atlanta today,
I didn't hurt my song on the radio.

Speaker 5 (51:54):
Y I'm playing with me.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
It's so so oh time man.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
So I want to tour.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
I want to go to all of d cities that
are showing me love and give them back that energy.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
You know. I'm really excited to get more fans too.

Speaker 10 (52:08):
What I didn't tell you is the EP Coco Jones.
We're so proud of you, man, the evolution. We watch
and come back anytime.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
Man, we always we will be right back.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Stay tuned with more of the ball or Alert show message.

Speaker 5 (52:26):
My son and my husband are not seeing eye the eyes.
My son is dating this girl and she isn't the
best female for our son. My husband, his dad is
way more vocal about it than I am about it,
and it's very rude towards the young lady. I love
my son and he's clearly happy with this young lady.
How do I get his dad on board?

Speaker 4 (52:45):
First of all, you gotta tell Daddy stay out there,
stay out there little boy business, let him figure it out.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Give him some advice.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
If you feel like that young lady is not a
good fit, express how you feel. But you can't take
it out on a young lady. So I think you
should sit down and tell your husband, let him fit
figure it out. If he needs some advice, then come
to you believe that little girl alone.

Speaker 8 (53:05):
I think it's a little tricky when you have kids involved,
but you gotta make sure that you take your personal
feelings out of the picture and really kind of focus
on like why do you feel like this person isn't
good for the kid? Like what actually is Is it
because she's not exactly like you? Or like, first of all,

(53:26):
figure out why you feel that way, identify all those reasons,
and then have like a grown woman conversation with him.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
You know what Dad realized when that little shouder came
over to the house. He smelled the fatness on the
little showders that came over with his son.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Okay, it's something that man can do. We can smell it.

Speaker 5 (53:44):
She came by with his son, and he smelled some
bullshit in the house, and he just trying to keep
it a stack.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
If we can put out a little you know what
I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (53:56):
He keeping it the stack with his son, because that's
what a dad is going to do to his son anyway,
A bro that ain't the one. So what you're trying
to say, he smelt the thought in her? Damn mom
is just trying to say, you know what, just let
him bump his head.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
So a hole if he's happy, cool that over here?

Speaker 5 (54:13):
Like, hey, she looked like she's a little thought.

Speaker 9 (54:17):
Seen this before.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
You've seen this before. She's a hole.

Speaker 8 (54:20):
Maybe maybe I hadn't hear the baller mail, right, Okay,
so maybe usually.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
Rib me from wrong, Ladies, when you meet the parents,
you own best behavior. You're trying to set an example of,
you know what, I'm the right person for your child.
And if you ain't setting the right example, guess what
he gonna do.

Speaker 6 (54:41):
Sniff it out.

Speaker 5 (54:43):
This one right here, she fucking and sucking and doing
a whole bunch of bullshit, about to.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Turn my baby out.

Speaker 8 (54:49):
Hey, you don't think the dad wants the son having sex?
I see that that father's encouraged her.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
But if we talk about seriousnesship in a situation.

Speaker 6 (54:59):
And I don't think that that's the no, I don't.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
I don't think that you can't be mean to the
girl though coming over, you can't be mean. You can't
be mean because at the end of the days. But listen,
this is our parents fall out. As this our parents
fall out.

Speaker 8 (55:11):
Dad is triggered. She probably reminds him of a girl.

Speaker 10 (55:16):
Yeah, yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Gotta let your son. Yes, that's what mama says.

Speaker 4 (55:22):
If Literari meets meets a young lady at some point
and it's like, no, give me the exact and you
are mean to his girlfriend, he gonna be.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Like Dad, Listen, guys, I'm ready already give me that
poll pool. Don't don't raise in my hand.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
I'm the ignorant parent. I don't fuck they don't put
me in none of this. Don't set me as an example.
I'm very ignorant.

Speaker 10 (55:42):
And you better hope the little girl ain't smart because
she could get you.

Speaker 9 (55:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Oh, you want to be rude to me, Well I
got something for that ass.

Speaker 5 (55:48):
Oh, I'm gonna turn your son on you punk, turn
his ass out. She probably show up pregnant.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
I don't want to see no spite for woman, show
what show up? Oh shit?

Speaker 10 (56:01):
Or give them something irreversible though, all right, that was
baller mail. Before we get out of here, we got
a pep talk with Coco Jones.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
Hey, y'all, it's Coco Jones. And if you do know
my journey, you know how long it's been. If you
don't know my journey, it's been a lot of time.

Speaker 5 (56:21):
Come me.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
But I would say my motivation for you guys is
whatever you're pursuing, find out your why, because in the
highs and the lows, that's gonna be what keeps you
from giving up.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Why are you doing this?

Speaker 3 (56:33):
And if this is you know for you, then find
that truth that can you know, live inside of you
and cannot be changed by outside circumstances. Because the highs
they're gonna bring new energies, they're gonna bring new opinions.
The lows they're gonna bring some bring the real friends out.
So find your why and stick to that. And even
if it takes time, that doesn't mean it's not working.
It just means it's taking time.
