Speaker 10 (06:26):
Next several days.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
States and emergency states of emergency excuse me have been
declared in some areas of New Jersey and North Carolina.
In fact, New Jersey it seems to be experiencing massive
flooding on the Jersey shore, where coastal warnings have been
issued ahead of the hurricanes. So New Jersey in North Carolina,
prayers to you for those impacts those of you who
have been impacted by the storm. But it seems like

(06:48):
we are for the most part, in the clear regarding
Hurricane Erran's amazing.

Speaker 10 (06:54):
Yeah. So another news.

Speaker 7 (06:55):
President Trump met with local met with law enforcement yesterday
at the US Park Facility in southeast Washington, DC. That's
also located in Ward eight, where the White House claims
most of the non immigration arrest took place. The administration
is also referred to that area as the slums, but
I'm not going to get too much into that. So
Trump thanked the officers for cooperating with the federal takeover
of the city and as part of his crime at crackdown,

(07:18):
and he said that crime has been down since the
operation began. Let's take a listen to his comments from
yesterday afternoon.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
We're not playing games.

Speaker 11 (07:25):
We're gonna make it safe, and we're going to then
go on to other places, but we're going to stay
here for a while. We want to make this absolutely perfect.
Just our capital, and I guess it used to be
many years ago, say, but it certainly not had a
very good run. And you got to be strong, you
gotta be tough, you got to do your job.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
So I just came.

Speaker 11 (07:47):
I just wanted to thank you while you're doing incredible.
You're incredible people. You make the country run. Frankly, you
make the whole place run. We're going to have the
best capital ever.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
Ye Shortly after the President spoke, people flooded the streets
uptown d C for a Defend DC rally at fourteenth
and U Street Northwest, now justin YadA.

Speaker 10 (08:08):
Johnson, who I think should be on the show, you
guys should bring him up.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
He's actually the part one of the organizers of the
Don't Mute d C movement. He said, while we are
enduring what we're enduring with the surgeon Feds, we can
utilize this moment to uplift the community, to have our
voice heard. He went on to say, people cannot live
in fear, and that's what I see our community doing
right now. So we have to continue to curate these
spaces so they can feel safe. And the Don't Mute

(08:32):
DC movement just has people take the streets, you know,
go go floods the streets.

Speaker 10 (08:36):
It's just kind of like a big party.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
It used to be called Mochella, but for obvious reasons
you could see why the name is no longer. So yeah,
because that's actually really said, like what they're doing to
the homeless people who cutting me tent, slice me tents up,
dragging them and you know you have nowhere for him
to go.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
That's that's really said.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
We were talking all.

Speaker 7 (08:55):
Four cleaning up homelessness and everything like that, but have
somewhere for them to go.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
We we was talking about this yesterday because just brought
this point up in the room and she said, what
you just said, and I was thinking, like yo. That
was the initial call to action from the President Trump.
The initial call to action was we got to clean
the homelessness up in DC. And then that all of
a sudden turned into this, you know, tough on crime thing.
But I'm wondering if they just did the tough on
crime thing to be able to just push all of
the homeless people up right, we heard criminalized their their, their,

(09:23):
their their, their.

Speaker 7 (09:23):

He was roaming around the streets of la And there's
a video that a person who was riding down the
street recorded of him that TMZ obtained.

A kid, I don't like phones. Don't miss the party tonight.
Why are you still here?

Speaker 4 (19:16):
You need to be telling everybody about the party.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Girl, what's the problem?

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Bring it down, make it down.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
See, you ain't break it down for the people, though,
you ain't described to the people that the man was
walking around the cowboy called a boots and.

Speaker 18 (19:29):
I was gonna do it after, but you right should
have said that before.

Speaker 19 (19:31):
But yeah, so at four of you, Lil Naz was
strolling down the street and he's so he's in Studio City.

Speaker 18 (19:36):
This is a popular street that he's on too.

Speaker 19 (19:38):
It was on Huh was it lan No? It was
I'll get the name of the street either way. You'll
know the name though. It's Lancasham where all the dancers
go to dig. Yes, so he was strolling down the
street and there's a guy riding by who begins to
record him. Now this guy records his video. Yes, he's
in the tidy whities and the cowboy boots. There were
also people who spotted him, who called l A p

(20:00):
d And said, hey, there's a nude man walking down
the street.

Speaker 18 (20:03):
He needs some help.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Why you ain't never do that to the neked cowboy
here in New York. He was dressed just like the
next cowboy. Only thing he didn't have was a guitar.
Y'all ain't never called the police on the neked cowboy.

Speaker 8 (20:12):
I was thinking to say that, did he ever get
to a point where because they said nude, the nude
means like nothing.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I missed that video.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
That's the one I wanted to do. I kept I
kept googling, it came up.

Speaker 19 (20:24):
Yeah, So he serious trying to be right, so he
didn't get to the point where he was neked. So
when police officers got there, they tried to like basically
like get him and put them in like cuffs, and
before they could get to him, he like charged at them,
but he stripped down neked before he charged that on.

Speaker 18 (20:40):
So what they were on they were finally video.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
You want to see that because they got all these
other ways that video's ahead.

Speaker 7 (20:48):
No, no, I'm saying. That's what I'm saying though, But we
don't see none of that. We only see this what
ten minute video of him strolling down the streets.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
It saddens me that I see this video and the
first thing I think to myself, publicity stunt.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
Okay, I'm not saying it is. I don't know if
it is.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
I'm just saying that because it's little nas X and
how everything seems like a rollout nowadays.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
I mean, it feels like a publicity getting arrested.

Speaker 19 (21:11):
Ye where the wait wait wait, so TMZ has confirmed
and I'm going to reach out because he's still in jail.

Speaker 18 (21:19):
He's in jail and being eyes. He's been held without.

Speaker 19 (21:22):
No bail, have a good time, he's been held without
NOBIL and it probably y'all.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Time let me go.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
Charged, Like yeah, y'all, y'all.

Speaker 18 (21:40):
What if this was like a mental breakdown something that
made them say.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
It might be a possible, right, But if it's not,
we got all bases coming.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
Can never do nothing like this before. The promoter name
he has he has.

Speaker 19 (21:55):
But the only reason why I'm like trying to give
him a little bit of like yeah, grace here is
because the police are the people who said, based on
whatever they saw, this would be He went to the hospital,
got treated, and he was arrested.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Problem apologizing after the fact. I'm just telling you for
what I see right now just don't feel real. And
it's his fault because of the things that we've seen
him do past in the past. So when I see
it now, like I'm like, damn, this could be a publicity. Still.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, so it's like little boy, what it is like?

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, shot, where's the video of him getting arrested button
neck and charging the police.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
I'll got everything else, but y'a don't. And he said, Charlage,
he said, Sean, yes, let me hear it. Sean, Yeah, Sean,
I thought.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
And he didn't look down trodden.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
He didn't look right.

Speaker 18 (22:46):
I mean he might be.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
He didn't look down trodden like. He didn't look I
don't know, I.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Don't look like.

Speaker 18 (22:51):
He don't look like like down like depressed.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
I mean, it wasn't given overdose. We don't know what
if he did. What drug he overdosed on.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
It could be given, it could be given high.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
And then the person.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
Who recorded him recorded him all that time right like
just recorded it.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
I mean, just him by itself, you know what I'm saying, nobody.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
And you were just out there in the middle of
the night what they say, it was like three o'clock
in the morning or something more a four am, four am,
And this person is like recording him the whole time,
walk for blocks and blocks and blocks as well, because
that walk was a walk.

Speaker 18 (23:26):
He walked for a little minute, pumps them.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
I'm not saying this is a publicity sun, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
I'm just saying because it's a little nas X, it
makes me feel like it is now, I hope it's not.
I would hope nobody would play like this. I would
hope nobody would play about having a mental breakdown. I
would hope nobody would play about having a drug overdose.
I would hope nobody would play about being arrested. But
you just never know.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Now this, yeah, you never know.

Speaker 7 (23:48):
He never in his history of doing things like this
does not help him.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Invest right, that's right.

Speaker 19 (23:53):
Well, I will say that there is now another video.
There's no sound or anything to it, but earlier that day,
around like one thirty pm earlier Wednesday, there's a video
now of him in a hotel called Short Stories Hotel
in La and he's just wandering aimlessly around the hotel
and then he heads out and he takes his shirts
shirt off and he's just wondering, like off from the
hotel video.

Speaker 18 (24:14):
TMZ also has that video as well.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
So they bought all these videos. Shut up. I'm trying
to figure out if this is so they.

Speaker 19 (24:21):
So they feel so what they're what they're saying is
that whatever this episode.

Speaker 18 (24:25):
Was it began earlier that day?

Speaker 19 (24:27):
And I mean he I remember I showed you, I
showed you yesterday a video Instagram.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Huh, Well did he get high again? I mean, what
kind of drugs that that he did that earlier?

Speaker 7 (24:36):
Yeah, well, they was trying to say it was it
was drugs, but like, how what was he on?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I could he have been I that long?

Speaker 18 (24:42):
We don't know yet. We don't know any of the
details yet, but I'm sure things will come out.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Well if he had, if you had some breakdown, if
you had some type of yeah, we're definitely sending them
healing energy. But I'm just saying, because it's little nas
X and the things that we've seen in the past,
it feels like.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
The jail. But we don't even know we went to jail.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
You do not know these little millennials man, I mean,
or gen Z.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
Whatever he is, they will do anything, Yes, the records
and to push these you know, tracks whatever.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Go to jail.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
And they didn't say he overdose. They said this is suspected, it's.

Speaker 19 (25:15):
Impossible, possible, but they took him. Now here's a telltale
sign too that they took him to the hospital to
be treated and then he took him to jail. He
wasn't released. He's still in custody and they took him
to jail. So whatever that drug situation.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Hospital, yes, yeah.

Speaker 18 (25:29):
But so if it was, I mean he was released,
he would have stayed.

Speaker 19 (25:32):
But I do believe though, because he was charged with
a battery on a peace officer, right, that's a.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Misdemeanor police officer.

Speaker 19 (25:39):
Well it's a police officer, but a peace officer someone
I think who comes when something like this is happening,
that is trying to calm you down, so then that
you can be like that type of thing. But I
was saying that because it's a misdemeanor. But they're holding
him without bail, So to me, that's.

Speaker 18 (25:50):
A little eye.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
That's like holding a misdemeans That's.

Speaker 19 (25:53):
What I'm saying. So like I'm trying to figure out
what this is, That's what I'm saying. Like I'm I'm
a try and call the in eyes and see what's
going on. Because it's a misdemeanor.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
We shouldn't jump to conclusions. But then we wouldn't be
a radio show if we didn't. Okay, this is what
spot which is content. Right, we have to suggest all angles.

Speaker 19 (26:09):
I mean, and I will to your point with little
nas X's fair. A lot of people who are talking
about this are having the same questions, y'all are so.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
All right, Well that is the latest with Alauren.

Speaker 8 (26:20):
Now when we come back, we got some front page
news and uncle anywhere.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Good morning, you're checking out the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy just Hilarius Charlamage the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some
front page news. What something Morgan?

Speaker 7 (26:36):
Hey, y'all, Hey, so let's talk about what's happening in California.

Speaker 10 (26:39):
First it was Texas this week.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
Now next week, it looks like we'll be following what's
going on in California with the Democrats moving forward with
their own redistricting efforts. Now, California Governor Gavin Newsom sign
the measure on Thursday that calls for a special election
aiming to redraw state maps that would most likely give
Democrats five additional House seats. Newsom says Democrats will take
over the US House in the twenty twenty six mid

(27:02):
term elections.

Speaker 10 (27:03):
Let's take a listen to his comments.

Speaker 14 (27:05):
They fired the first shot Texas. We wouldn't be here
at Texas not done what they just did. Donald Trump
didn't do what he just did. We got here because
of his failed policies. Those are being exposed hour by hour,
reinforced today by Walmart announcing they'll be raising prices because
of the tax increases, because of the tariffs. Because when

(27:26):
all things are equal, we're all planned by the same
set rules. There's no question that the Republican Party will
be the minority party in the House of Representatives next.

Speaker 7 (27:35):
Year, so the state wide vote will be held in November.
California's redistricting push comes as Texas Republicans move closer to
finalizing their own reworked district. Now on the other side
of the ile, California Republicans are vowing to fight Governor
Newsom's attempt at redistricting. Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher says
it's wrong for any state to allow politicians to draw

(27:56):
congressional district lines.

Speaker 10 (27:57):
Let's take a listen from him.

Speaker 21 (27:58):
The governor says, they're fighting fire with fire. Well, the
problem when you fight fire with fire is you burn
it all down. Because if we continue down this road,
other states will do the same thing.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
And the only.

Speaker 21 (28:10):
People who will be hurt are the people and their
ability to be represented, something that is fundamental to our
American experiment. Right, let's take away the corruption from these seats,
because we've already heard has been reported that some may
have influenced how those lines were drawn so they could
run for Congress.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
Yes, so, California State Republicans, of course, are backing Representative
Kevin Kiley's House bill that would prohibit mid day, mid
decade redistricting nationwide. Meanwhile, in Texas, plans to redraw the
congressional boundaries in Texas, which have passed the state House,
are now heading towards the Senate. Texas Governor Greg Abbott
has vowed to sign that villainiese also calling for legislation

(28:49):
to impose penalties or punishments for those legislators who are
willfully absent from any legislative session.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
So keep you guys posted on that.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
And in case you missed it, this week, Homeland Security
Secretary Christy Nome says the entire southern border wall will
be painted black. Now, no one made the announcement earlier
this week, I believe Tuesday at a press briefing near
El Paso and says President Trump is making good on
his promise to secure the border and crack down on
illegal immigration. Let's take a listen to her comments.

Speaker 22 (29:17):
That is specifically at the request of the President, who
understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something
is painted black, it gets even warmer and it will
make it even harder for people to climb. Today, we
have the most secure US border that we've ever had
in the history of this nation.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Now.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
Homeland Security Secretary Noam says the funds for the painting
were allocated in the massive spending bill that was already
passed earlier this year, and that the pace of the
painting is currently a little bit less than a half
of a mile a day. So that's what's happening on
our southern border. And I'm just going to go ahead
and wrap things up because it's Friday.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
I mean, why not.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
That's your front page news.

Speaker 17 (32:20):

You have two daughters. They are incredibly and gifted. But
I'm telling you right now, like I mean this, I
know something special when I see it. Them little girls
are special. I'm telling you it's insane. Like my daughter's scene,
it was there watching them, and I love that she
was seeing a girl that looked like her, watching your

(32:42):
daughters do what they were doing. And I think they
hadn't been doing it for too long.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Two years. Oh no, no, no, no. They were doing.

Speaker 17 (32:51):
Gymnastics and they had two different styles of dancing. They
both showed us their shows. They were preparing for some performance.

Speaker 8 (32:58):
Yeah, for the next season. I haven't seen their dances. Yes,

you right now. So it was beautiful to see, you

Very really black. Father, there's a black kids dancing.

Speaker 8 (33:16):
When they get on stage and they get busy, like
they practice all day long, that's all they do, and
they get busy, and it's so crazy to see people saying,
like pointing at them in the winning, because that's that's
my best thing.

these girls because we're new to New York, so I'm
trying to figure out the places for our kids to
you know, get active and do what they love doing.
And I'm like, that was so powerful to see, and
especially because again the girls look my daughter looks they
look like my daughter. She gets to see that. Yeah,
you should be proud. Yeah, yeah, but don't be coming

(33:53):
it crazy. I mean, like your daughter's sitting on.

Speaker 18 (33:58):
I mean, what are you dumb?

Speaker 17 (34:00):
Listen, I'm really I don't remember. That was a good question. Listen.
You know what, when you got your energy in a
certain place, you can't remember everything crazy that someone does
says about you. But I definitely would always remember Strala
made along the Way and my journey coming up as
an artist. But you know, Charlamagne was being Charlamagne.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
So I was on drugs. That's a lot.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
It was just and don't try to act like that that.

Speaker 8 (34:31):
I went back I went back down some of the
pipeline and we won't say it, but I think you
owe her an apology because you was crazy.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Absolutely you said you went down did this pipeline and
what happened.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Crazy?

Speaker 3 (34:43):
He didn't come up about Listen, I have if I.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
If I did do anything that that really offended you
and hurts you, hurt you in any way here, I
do apologize sincerely, but I really I'm not even joking.
I really don't remember got.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
Like I remember one thing.

Speaker 17 (35:03):
I really do you remember one thing? Which we want
to say the one thing it was what.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
I used to say Rihanna had the Navy had to
be hiving. I had to Creek, oh Myers.

Speaker 17 (35:13):
Remember that's crazy? Well, Kreek is a turban loud. Ain't
things still here?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
How are you feeling?

Speaker 17 (35:22):
I'm feeling amazing. I'm feeling feeling real, blessed, feeling real blessed,
feeling excited. This is released week, so it's kind of
it's crazy. I've been doing it independently, so it's a
beast like I'm literally NonStop. I'm like, I'm not here
ground like it's the two thousands right now. So it's
just it's crazy. I really feel excited though, I'm ready
to get this project out and I'm happy to be here.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
How's your move to New York?

Speaker 17 (35:45):
It's amazing. You know, it's different when you come to
New York. You know, it's one thing to come as
a performer, but to come here, you know, to live
like it's a whole different like feeling like it's a
whole different perspective. And then also see New York through
our kids eyes. It's really cool, you know. You know,
Ciena is we were preparing the clothes that we were packing,

(36:06):
and Ciena had this really fancy pink outfit and she goes.
I said, ceee, Mama, that's a lot going on. She's like, Mom,
we going New York. You know, she's ready. She like
what we're doing, you know. But to be able to
be here with our family, obviously football is the reason
why we're here. It's exciting, you know, but it's New
York feels more calm from this perspective. So I think

(36:27):
if you, like you're a visitor, like New York is
like bright lights all this, but now it's like, okay, wait,
how are we gonna how are we gonna sit by?
What are we going to be doing?

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Like?

Speaker 17 (36:34):
How are we gonna live? Like hold perspective, but I
love it. We love our date nights here. The food.
They said, you'll never have enough food in a lifetime
eating in New York. So I've been loving the restaurant options.
There's so many. I didn't realize how much community that
has grown the community, the communities that are creative have
grown here. Like with playgrounds and stuff. There's so many playgrounds,

(36:58):
which you only see that because now I have kids,
so I say differently. So I'm just excited. Everything you needed,
you want to find is right here. The beauty supplies, like,
everything is all here. So I'm excited.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
I will say it's calm now and tell the giants
start losing. Serious, the giants are going to be terrible.

Speaker 17 (37:17):
No they're not. Let me tell you no, no, no, no
no no. Let me tell you right now. I love you, dearly,
but you cannot look at me and tell me that
the team my husband's gonna be and it is gonna
be terrible. I'm just not gonna allow that. You can
do what you want to feel though. It's all I understand. Listen,
I understand. You know the history that franchises, they evolve
and they go through things. But we're gonna speak life
over here, so life over Russ.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
I think he's gonna have a great season the Giants, though, no.

Speaker 17 (37:45):
Sor right, you can feel how you feel, but it's
gonna be great.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
We're gonna be good, have a party that ever want
him to retire.

Speaker 17 (37:50):
No, I want for him to do it when he
wants to do it. But I think he still has
a great story to tell. You know, he's been so
fortunate to you know, done all that he's done, and
you know, defy many odds, and so I think he's
still got a lot more amazing football left in him.
And so I'm just excited, you know, to support him.
But whenever he wants to do that, you know, it's

(38:11):
where it's organized chaos in our house, you know, because
his world goes, my world goes. So it's it's like
a really like crafting of schedules to make everything, like
you know, working makes sense. But we're having fun right now.
And I really love football too, so I enjoy it.
I enjoy watching him do his thing.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
Sometimes people say, like, you know, Sierra has more headlines
for her relationship and her music.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Does that bother you or do you just lean it? Now?

Speaker 17 (38:36):
I think people are entitled to what they feel. I mean,
that's up to you and what you want to feel.
But I'm not her living, you know. I'm living my life,
and I I mean a part of living in front
of the world is people you're going to be open to.
People have opinions, but that's all right. You're entitled to it,
you know. So I don't really worry about those things,
cause I am doing a lot. I am a mom,
I am a wife, I am an entrepreneur, I am

(38:58):
an artist, So you're going to say many things about me, and.

Speaker 10 (39:00):
That's all good.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
We're still kicking it with Sierra.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yes, you have been outside.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
It's been great seeing you in these spaces where you dancing.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
God grow up to you dancing.

Speaker 7 (39:09):
And that's the thing you have not aged, by the way,
but thank you. You haven't really been like doing your
thing when it comes to promoting CC. Right, So let's
get into the album. The name of it is called
CC YEP and that's who you are, that's name. It's
personal to you, right, So in this album we're going
to be getting an inside look on Yeah.

Speaker 17 (39:30):
So it's really more so just my my token of appreciation.
You know. It's been twenty one years. This is my
first album, you know, and so to be sitting here
with the same passion and joy that I had as
a little girl growing up, starting off my career and
to still be here with opportunity and it's still be
you know, fortunate to have some of the best fans
in the world. You know, when people see me in

(39:51):
the streets that say hey CC, I like, hey girl,
but it feels real personal when someone calls you by
your nickname, and my fans have done that, and honestly,
like I said, doing independently, I would not be here
if it wasn't for my fans. I would not be
here if I didn't have the love and support that
I've had over the years. And so it's just really
a token of appreciation from me to my fans to

(40:12):
give them this project but also again try and get
back to CC because that's what they call me. So
it's real personal for me. But it really is, like
it's an attitude of gratitude, Like it's not easy to
you know, to stand tall and to be still going
at this rate and to have the level of support
that I've had is like it's just such a blessing.
You know, so you can't listen to the Charlamagne of

(40:34):
the world. You know what I'm saying, Like you say,
because if you do, then you won't you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
You want level.

Speaker 17 (40:39):
Upright, you know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
So do you like the independent route?

Speaker 8 (40:43):
Because everything I love it's longer label. It's no longer label,
pushing the record. You gotta love, kiss baby, shake hands,
you got.

Speaker 9 (40:51):
To do all that.

Speaker 17 (40:52):
No, it's amazing. Listen now, it's a grind, Like I said,
I'm ground like it's a two thousand, like we out sad,
Like I go from the stage to the class room
to the football field to support Russ to be here
this morning with you guys, and then I hit my
son's teacher up to talk about his Spanish exam thing
he has to do. Like it's NonStop. But I love

(41:12):
the independent route because one is nothing better than only
your master's right, there's nothing better than ownership. Like you
think about the math of what it is for us
as artists, it is hard to do the traditional route
for a long time. It's to me it's not sustainable
for long term, you know purposes. So mathematically, it's definitely
much better. But I love that when I have an idea,

(41:33):
I can activate on it when I want you how
I want to, and I may not get it right,
I may swing, I may fail, but I like my
batting average, you know, being able to do it my way.
And I've been very fortunate that over the years, even
when I signed a major's all my big moments, I
was like, this is the moment, like I've always been
that voice. I've always betted on myself, but now I
get to read my full benefits of when I do

(41:54):
take that big risk and make that big bet. So
I like it this way. I said, It's not easy,
but it's it's a good feeling though. I feel in
power like more than ever in my life. And also too,
you know, like where there's sink opportunities, like Level Up
is a song that keeps on giving. It's almost three
times platinum. I don't know how many billion streams of
that song alone. I say it's a gift that keeps

(42:15):
on giving because I get these unique sink opportunities that
just don't stop. And I don't have to go through
these channels for approval. I don't have to like get
someone's like, you know, is this okay?

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Is it not?

Speaker 17 (42:27):
It's like no, I like it, I want to do it.
Let's do it, you know. And so it's it's a
great feeling.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
And I just wanted remind you to I was on
drugs and alcohol and a little bit ugly, like just say.

Speaker 17 (42:42):
He might have slipped a little something more. Come it
a hat.

Speaker 7 (42:48):
Just to see the excitement in your face when you
talk about your music like you have you ever had
a moment right where you're when somebody play something for you,
but even the making of this album right now, and
you were like, no.

Speaker 17 (43:02):
Yeah, no, we have those moments. But it's funny because
you know how you hear artists say like they have
hundreds of records. I don't record tons of records. I've
never done that. I've always been very intentional about the
songs that I've written or record for my records, So
I don't have a lot of leftover records. But if
I start a record, I'm not feeling out just playing
like nah, you know, And sometimes you do get songs

(43:22):
you're like that's not for me. So yes, do I
have those moments. But I will say, all in all,
I'm lucky that I get to write on a lot
on my records, so you know, if I'm not feeling
the vibes and you're just gonna cut it short, you know.

Speaker 7 (43:33):
But yeah, do you preview your music for hobby or
your husband? Oh yeah, okay, he's.

Speaker 17 (43:38):
He knows and sees everything. Like even when I'm like
in the process of thinking about stuff, you think about
Russ that I don't think people know is like he
obviously he's amazing on the field, but his creative mind
is like insane, Like he actually has really incredible ideas
that he'll throw my way and like he's in it

(44:00):
with me, which is so fun like seem like a
dancing like listen, I say, he dances really nicely in
the pocket, you know what I'm saying. But he actually
has a nice little groove. It was funny because the
other night him and all the qbs that he had
invited the fellows to come out QB Room to come out,
and they were all jamming and like James was like, Russ,

(44:22):
I know you had that in you, like you know,
but he can sell us a little bit.

Speaker 12 (44:25):
You know.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
It's cute question, and this is not how I feel.

Speaker 17 (44:29):
When you hear people say it's so funny. Side over
there waiting like.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Just waiting, want to ask Russell Wilson is corny?

Speaker 3 (44:40):
What's your honest reaction?

Speaker 17 (44:42):
Oh my gosh, that I don't. I don't have to
even reply to that, because you know like that, Why
would I even respond to that? You know what I'm saying, like,
I know what I know, and that's all that matters.
But he's one of them. He is the most amazing
human being you could know, the smartest, most intelligent black
man that I have ever known, you know. And when

(45:05):
you what you see with him is really who he is,
you know, And so it's beautiful. It's different, you know,
But I don't.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Because I feel like he gets it because he takes
care of his.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
And we've had conversations up here as men saying like,
I don't understand why he's why he gets called a simp?

Speaker 17 (45:23):
Well, I think it depends on who Wait wait, wait,
who's the man saying it? Don't go down a specific lane,
because I'm just saying, who's the man saying it?

Speaker 11 (45:39):
Right?

Speaker 17 (45:39):
It's like someone saying a person doesn't love someone, But
have you ever loved someone?

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Right?

Speaker 17 (45:44):
Have you ever been loved right, So sometimes people to
me speak out of pocket because they just don't know.
So for me, it's versus being mad about it. Just
like God bless them, you know, like you know, God
blessed them, you know what I'm saying, Like.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
So yeah, because it's obviously something that they're lacking.

Speaker 17 (46:00):
It's just you know, everyone again, everyone's in toie to
their opinion. But it's like, you don't. We don't have
to live. I don't have to live my life to
prove anything to anybody, right, And so I think, you know,
sometimes two people have a perspective just because of how
they see life and that just may be their way.
But you know, to me, too bad for them if
they want to live life a certain way and love

(46:20):
people a certain way. Too bad for.

Speaker 8 (46:23):
Them to come out of you like one time like
the Atlanta just say yo, suck from the back like
that York.

Speaker 17 (46:37):
Oh my gosh, you are silly, let me tell you.
Do I want to say stuff sometimes? Absolutely? But is
it worth it? No what Michelle say, when they go
low we go, yeah, but is it really worth the breath?
Like you think? I think about how many people I've
seen come and I've seen go when I leave it there.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
So you're telling me, I got to pray. She don't
got a curse.

Speaker 17 (47:03):
She don't got a curse. No, but will she curse? Yeah? Yeah,
you know, pull up on me a certain way, I
might pop out. But no, no, no, no, no. Honestly, I don't know, man,
I don't know. I just or how I'm trying to
live my life. It doesn't have space for like a negativity.
It just doesn't like you cannot like if you're trying

(47:25):
to go to a certain height, that stuff is like
down there. You know what I'm saying. It's like wisdom
has showed me like you ain't gotta respond. People respond
for you. Like just watch those that have things to
say about you, just watch it, like they'll respond for you.
They'll do it to themselves. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
We're still kicking it with Sierra Lauren.

Speaker 19 (47:47):
I was gonna say I saw that a lot people
are responding for you and taking up for you.

Speaker 18 (47:51):
Guys.

Speaker 19 (47:51):
When people were having a debate about Rust being a
stepdad or not, like early on and people were like
why is that an issue? Like why is their family
united issue? For a lot of people had that conversation. Yeah,
you stay quiet the whole time you handle that.

Speaker 17 (48:04):
You ain't got to talk about that. You know, there's
beauty and love. It all comes back to love. I
think people when they talk about that type of stuff,
they forget about what matters the most in the situation.
It's the child, right, It's not about the adult conversation
of it. All is the child being loved how they
should be loved. That's all that matters obviously, I know,

(48:26):
like the beauty and a blended family, right, there's no
greater feeling than my kids all feeling together and waking
up and feeling loved the same. That is a blessing,
you know. So, and I think that every child deserves
to feel, you know, that kind of love that I
get to see my kids have, you know. And so
you know, I think when things are new to people,

(48:46):
it just creates great conversation. But sometimes conversation is great,
you know, because sometimes conversation also opens up things for
people to really talk about things that they probably wouldn't
talk about, right. You know, maybe, like I said, at
my time, when I was a single mom, I think
a lot of women were able to see my journey
to be able to be like, you know, just me
finding my way as a woman, right, And I think

(49:08):
God that He's blessed me with this special love that
I have. But I think there's like again it goes
back to like why do I have this platform? Right,
It's like if I can inspire someone in any kind
of way, like that to me is success, right. And
so I think oftentimes you don't know what that's like
until you're in that position, right, and you're like, oh,
this is my life, Like, okay, let me figure this out.

(49:29):
But I mean it's a gift when you know. I
think women can know like life doesn't stop at a
situation for you, right, you know, life can't evolve and
grow how you want it to. And as it relates
to families and men, right, there's a difference between boys
and men, okay. And to me, men love a certain way.

(49:50):
They have a certain standard of how they love and
choose to love and do things, you know, And I
feel blessed that when I look at my husband, that
standard is like top tier.

Speaker 6 (50:00):
Right.

Speaker 17 (50:01):
It's like my Dad's love. Right, that's the truest love
I've known from a man, you know. And so to
see that it is such a blessing. But I love
that my kids when they look up at each other,
and you know future him and a Mora are like
our baby girl, Like he's the sweetest with her Yenna,
And just how when and how they all interact with
each other's love. That's all that matters, right, So conversation

(50:25):
is good though sometimes it opens up things and hopefully
it helps others.

Speaker 10 (50:28):
Well.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
I would like to say that is the most perfect
pony tail I've ever seen. Oh my god, moving like
doctor Strange cap now doctor Strange Kate moves with.

Speaker 17 (50:35):
Him, Doctor Strange Kate, what is that? Doctor Strange? What
is that?

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Yeah, he've had a life of its own, So it's
like certain times when it's moving with.

Speaker 7 (50:45):
Your emotions, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
But you said something earlier that made me think about something.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
You think black women in entertainment are allowed to evolve gracefully?

Speaker 3 (50:58):
Are we only celebrate them when they're like young?

Speaker 17 (51:01):
No? Man, I think do I think people like when
people are sad?

Speaker 14 (51:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (51:05):
But I think about like, you know, women that are
rocking it, like I think, you know, people do celebrate you.
You know, I think as a community though, you know,
just outside of artistry, I do think that the more
we can support each other, the better we will be.
And I think historically, because of what we've been through,

(51:27):
like historically as a culture, as a race, your condition
to go my my mind, your conditioned to like you
don't want to share so much. And what I've noticed
in my communities are friends sometimes that don't look like me.
They will call me in and be like, hey, Sierra,
do you need help with da da da da? How

(51:48):
can I help you? Right, That's a very common question
I get asked, you know, And I feel blessed to
have the friends that I do, and it makes me
want to do that for people that look like me
because we need that, Like it's a real thing. Like
think about just like why we always be fighting crazy
in our communities, Like we have more fights, I think,

(52:09):
you know, And again I could be wrong, but just
the culture of us, like we don't we got that
raw raw Like it's just in us. And I think
there's something about history that's predispositioned us that way where
it's like how do we evolve like together, like how
do we eat together?

Speaker 4 (52:24):
Right?

Speaker 17 (52:25):
Like it's a real thing, Like I feel very blessed
to have the friend circles that I do and like,
you know, it's like Jewish community, Like the way that
they like rock with each other is crazy amazing, like
the Latino communities, like the way they rock is like beautiful.
Like by the way, I'm Blexican, like I'm learning my Spanish,
so I say, I'm like black Amaxican.

Speaker 7 (52:46):
My daughter's birthday.

Speaker 23 (52:48):
Come, Okay, it's all right, It's all right, Ola, Okay,
what's that?

Speaker 6 (53:02):
Okay?

Speaker 17 (53:15):
You know, but you think about that love, right, Let's
lift each other up like in our big moments, like
let's celebrate, like celebrate each other. Let's not even like
don't worry about you know. I think sometimes you can
get like a little distracted if you don't feel like
things are moving at the pace you want them to.
But it's like, celebrate the next one, like your time's
gonna come. The more we can do that together, the
more we win.

Speaker 18 (53:35):
I want to know what the conversation was with you
and Rihanna when y'all patched it.

Speaker 17 (53:40):
I would say, patch it up like it wasn't like
a patch up conversation, but you know, we actually saw
you at the met gala and it was her asap
me and Russ and we were all just chatting it
up and you know, talking about kids and mo kids
and just like normal, you know, just like girls would do.
So that was really sweet, you know, it was it

(54:02):
was the best energy, you know, and CEC got loved
for re read ring. It was like babies, you know
she are now. Yeah, she sent me this really sweet
message like a while ago before we saw each other,
and she was like saying, I'm so proud of you,
you know, and I thought that was so so sweet,

(54:24):
you know, for her to say that, and I really
respect her, like I admire what she's doing and what
she's done. Like I remember meeting us, meeting each other
for the first time. You know, it's babies, and you
know I started a looking before her. But to see
how she's like leveled up and like built her empire,
like to do that in our industry is not easy.
And she's you know, putting on for Barbados, as she

(54:46):
would say, in such a big way. And I think
us women were just like, you know, we're women, you know,
and like phone like you know, so it's all that
kind of energy with that.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Dump duging on Twitter used to be fun to watch.

Speaker 17 (54:59):
Oh my god, but when I got.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
Punched in the back of the head in Sierra had
a Field. I remember that because I was laughing because
I'm like, you know what, I deserve it, and she
was like, I bet you aid you ain't using Adida's dad.

Speaker 17 (55:18):
Listen, you gotta get Stara Ma with something. This man
right here, oh my.

Speaker 18 (55:24):
God, and ugly back then Oh yeah, definitely.

Speaker 17 (55:28):
OK, yeah, yeah, no, listen, you gotta listen to charlamains
of the world. I tell you don't forget them.

Speaker 6 (55:35):
That's what I do.

Speaker 16 (55:36):
Though.

Speaker 17 (55:36):
You don't forget them, you'd be like just less some
if something not less some, but if something have you'd
be ready to be like hey, yeah, actually see the
creaked and they ain't saying nothing.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
My last question if you script away all the titles,
you know superstar wife mom.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Who is Sierra at her core work today?

Speaker 17 (56:00):
She a bouse.

Yeah no, she a bos.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
No.

Speaker 17 (56:08):
I mean, I say, a woman of ambition on a mission.
This was my jam. She's trying to figure it all out,
you know, just trying to grind every day, figure it out.
She's a woman. I'm a woman that loves to serve.
I love to give and I love to live.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
Let's get into a joint off that what you want

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Lauren becoming a straight fast.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
She gets them somebody that knows, somebody the detail.

Speaker 18 (57:23):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything,
and she'd.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
Be having the latest on the latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Sometimes you have.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little
bit everything.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
What's the latest on the Breakfast club talk to me.

Speaker 19 (57:39):
So yesterday, her name Desk Govin, who prosecutors are calling
the mastermind behind young Dolph's murder, was found not guilty
of first degree murder and conspiracy to commit first degree murder.
The murder a jury deliberated for a little under three
hours and then uh Govin was.

Speaker 18 (57:56):
Free to go.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
Why why so?

Speaker 19 (58:00):
They basically looked at the communications that were submitted by
the government, which were like text messages and phone calls,
because it said that there wasn't any evidence there that
linked Govin to being the person that set this whole
thing up, offered to pay the money after they took
the alleged money that was on the streets to kill
anybody from Piperwoute Entertainment. Basically, they're saying that the government
didn't do a good job of proving that case. There's

(58:22):
that go so yeah, so they're saying that they didn't
prove the case. What they were a legend was that
Govin was the person who actually heard about the hit.
From their legend, it was from Duke, who is Yogatti's
older brother that passed away, and that he then called
these two younger guys Cornelius and Justin Johnson and said, look,
if y'all do the hit on anybody from Papperwoight Entertainment,

(58:45):
I'll split the money with y'all a certain way. And
then according to Justin I'm not Justin. But according to Cornelius,
who was actually like the star like testifier or testifier
witness in this case, he says that Golvin actually was
a person that even put him onto this.

Speaker 18 (58:59):
He's that he didn't know that there was a hit.

Speaker 19 (59:01):
He said that he didn't know anything about this and
that he had never spoken to anybody outside of this
besides Govin.

Speaker 18 (59:05):
But they're saying that he didn't prove the case.

Speaker 19 (59:08):
Govin's attorneys are saying that all that was a lie
and that Justin I'm not Justin, But Cornelius is just
a person that is testifying because he wants to He
wants to go home, he wants to get lesser charges
as well, and that originally he had claimed that he
had spoken to uh Duke to get the money and
to do this whole thing. But to answer your question,

(59:28):
they're just saying that they didn't do a good job
proven it.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
Would have boll that guy I wouldn't stay in Memphis.
That's what he said yesterday. Because yes, because even though
a quarter of law from him, you know, not guilty.
If the streets think he's guilty, you know, the screet's
gonna do what they do.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
I wouldn't stay in Memphis if I was well.

Speaker 19 (59:42):
He said, Yeah, her name does Govin. After courting, his
attorneys spoke to press about that. They spoke to ABC
twenty four Memphis that sick a Listen, this is.

Speaker 9 (59:53):
Work your justices in Memphis. So if you're black and poor,
you got a problem.

Speaker 24 (59:56):
So this is how do you feel? Have his stress
taking off this You don't have my life back. What's
the first thing you planned to do?

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
Go ahead with my son? Mimsic Govan?

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
You you you haven't smiled all this week, but obviously
you have a lot to smile about.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
Just telling me.

Speaker 9 (01:00:08):
It was just both what you're feeling in right now.

Speaker 25 (01:00:10):
It's kind of hard to explain the feeling of getting
your life back. I'm just I'm just blessed and I'm
just ready to go see my son.

Speaker 17 (01:00:17):
What was going through your head when you were awaiting
for the verdict this morning?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Nervousness?

Speaker 25 (01:00:21):
But I got a team around me that was very
confident and supportive. So without them, it wuldn't be no here.
I just want to thank again man Robert Haley Bell Handle.

Speaker 24 (01:00:32):
You heard your attorney say, if you're black and poor Memphis,
this is what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
What would be your words of advice?

Speaker 9 (01:00:38):
Wow, leave Memphis?

Speaker 17 (01:00:39):
Damn?

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Do you plan on leaving Memphis? R? Of course I
think it's loyal. Did its lawyer did it for free?

Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
I thought I read that to it.

Speaker 19 (01:00:47):
Yeah, I saw that, yes, because he didn't have a
lot of resources, and they felt like the attorney said,
cause sat and deal for I believe was nine months,
and the attorney said that. They felt like, uh, the
jury felt empathy for him because he didn't have resources.
And the media, because of the heightened media around this case,
they felt that the jury looked at it and said,
you have this person with no resources that there isn't
really strong evidence against, so we're gonna let him walk in.

(01:01:10):
Because the jury came back so fast, they feel like,
you know, they did their job, like they did exactly
what they needed to do.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
Did you speak to Doll's wife because I know y'all
are close.

Speaker 19 (01:01:18):
I just hit her up and said, you know, I
saw everything and just sending you some love, but she
hasn't responded and inspect her to One of the reports
I read said that his family that was in court
was of course devastated. And I saw yesterday Keeglock had
posted but then deleted like on X my city failed me.
He deleted it though not too long after that, So
I mean, as you can imagine, like this is not something.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
This is what she said. You know what I'm saying,
need to be held to account. Well, like everybody need
to be in jail, like it's crazy.

Speaker 19 (01:01:46):
Yeah, one of the shooters is in jail and Cornelius
testified against him as well. And then Cornelius is also
uh facing the time in jail that he will do
as well. So everybody, yeah yeah, But other news, going
back to some music news, So Offset has finally dropped
uh Kiari and there I've been listening to the project.

(01:02:08):
I think I'm like for four songs short of listening
to the whole album, but it's good. People are saying
that this is like one of his best releases. So
he's released a couple of different songs. But he has
a song called Never Let Go, which is a tribute
to Offset, and he has move On, which he talked
about and we talked about up here is a I'm
Sorry's a tribute to take Off Yes, And then he has.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):

He's playing the piano. It's you see all set. He's
going through the motions of all you know, just feeling
the song and feeling the emotions that he's been living

Speaker 15 (01:06:55):
I want to give it either to Charlomagne or doctor
walk What what what did I do?

Speaker 18 (01:07:02):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
You turned your d what you did?

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Turn your radio down for the go ahead, they're.

Speaker 15 (01:07:07):
Good, lusty stout. Okay, what you did is doctor Lumar
went and now it's trying to get women to date
him for five hundred for five hundred dollars then with
Umar and you never even talked about the seller man.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
You know why because when I first saw the video,
I thought it was ai. I didn't know it's real.

Speaker 5 (01:07:35):
Okay, I see that. What y'all want me to do.

Speaker 15 (01:07:38):
Though, don't talk about it? You never talked about it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
Well, you know why because doctor Umar is supposed to
be on Breakfast Club soon, so you know, I kind
of wanted to talk about it with him.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
He also.

Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
Last Sunday, I saw I saw that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
I see that he the school might be going up
for auction because he's behind on some bills and some
stuff like that. I mean, there's a lot, there's a
lot to talk to doctor Umar about. But if you
ask my opinion, I've already said it. I don't think
doctor Umar was scamming anybody. I just think doctor Umar,
you know, wasn't on top of his business. And I
think that sometimes when you're taking on the task of
opening up something like, you know, your own school, you know,

(01:08:14):
it takes a village to do something like a lot
of money and a lot of money. And I don't
know if he actually, you know, had had had that
that that village around him. You know, Yeah, what's wrong.

Speaker 15 (01:08:25):
But like I said, we didn't talk about You didn't
talk about the subject. That's what got me.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):

women five hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):

J I D's team, man, he got a good team,
you know his management, Barry and everything else. You know,
he's just he's just one of these guys that's on
the label that sucks because these labels don't know how
to promote artists anymore. The truth to the man, I
was looking at his numbers. I think he did like
let me see, I think he did like thirty something thousand.

It's like, yo, somebody to break him down.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
The labels, I mean, they didn't do a good job
with your job at all.

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
Like Skates should be all over the radio, and Saw
with jefse Reed should be all over the radio, you know.
And I don't know, you know, as far as like
the promo and the marketing. I just feel like they
should be doing more for these artists. Man, this is
a great album that Jim got. God don't like who's
he signed to anyway?

Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
I forgot.

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
I can't remember Capital.

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):
It ain't Dreamville, and I know it's Dreamville, But who's
the major label. I'm not sure it's Cape.

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
Y'all suck?

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
Okay, are you just saying hmmm, what's up?

Speaker 15 (01:12:02):
Yes'm I've seen a recent comment on Instagram that you
actually made towards a big girl that I didn't really
like agree upon.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
What was that about the content creator? And so she
was a content creator being funny?

Speaker 7 (01:12:16):
You know, she did the Chris Brown it depends challenge
and she was outside of a Wendy's, a burger king
on one of them fans with restaurants, and she was
doing it. So after I assume that she was a
comedian and the comment, I said, you know how he
starts off the verse?

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
You know you mad as hell? I said, I know
the song. Ain't say you fat as hell? I think
you know?

Speaker 7 (01:12:35):
And you know she she chose to put my comment
over top of a video of her working out like
I posted on that because she's on a weight loss journey.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
You know, I didn't know that, So why are you You're.

Speaker 13 (01:12:47):
Not really a donkey.

Speaker 15 (01:12:48):
But you know, I just ie better out of you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
You know, yeah, you expect better out of a comedian.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
I don't know how people do that, but I definitely understand.

Speaker 7 (01:12:57):
I appreciate the concern for the big squad, and I
apologize to her.

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
Yes, you guy, are you a bigger?

combo in peace nowadays without just Hilarious coming through making
goddamn jokes. All she want is a little baconator. You
don't say nothing to people in here that you all bacon.

Speaker 7 (01:13:25):
Listen, Yo, I made a video apologizing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
I thought it was a joke video, so I didn't
even listen to it because.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Nobody anybody took me serious.

Speaker 7 (01:13:34):
Well, I actually went jumped down her d M and
I apologized to her first, and and she wasn't trying
to head because she thought I was apologizing because I
was being canceled.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
I'm like, y'all get canceled every week. That's nothing. I
don't even apologize to people.

Speaker 7 (01:13:46):
So if Jess Larious is in your DM talking about
she's sorry, you better believe it, because then it's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
You know What's so crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:13:53):
I saw every single one of those videos and did
not make a connection like I because I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
I didn't get to watch just video.

Speaker 4 (01:14:00):
I just saw everybody saying the laughing, the mold you're saying,
Jeffy Jess was.

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
Clowning the big girl.

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
But I saw the other video of the girl going
into Windy's, and I saw the video of the girl boxing.

Speaker 5 (01:14:11):
But she she had a bunch of comments of people.

Speaker 7 (01:14:14):
Yeah, so when people make fun of her or negative comments,
she posts them over top of a video of her
working out.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
And she's like, she lost like a lot of pals
and she know she gonna lose a lot more.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
But I didn't know that she was.

Speaker 7 (01:14:26):
She was on a weight loss journey, like taking it serious.
I thought, you know, listen, when you are big or
you know, ugly or skinny or whatever. You know what
I'm saying, and you put content out there and you're
doing it in a funny, comedic way, you gotta expect.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
Things like that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
But yeah, I saw her going I start her dancing
in the Wendy's. I thought she was making fun of herself.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):

my turn, and Shanet liked that.

Speaker 14 (01:16:10):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
Yeah? Yes, yes, I say that with gratitude.

Speaker 26 (01:16:18):
This gratitude, man, this gratitude to be to be doing
what I do for a living for over two decades
and I don't feel like I'm done yet.

Speaker 9 (01:16:25):
That's that's that's that's really really a blessing.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Why do you think you have the connection with the
audience that you do because you bade your souls, because
you're so vulnerable. It is because they can, you know,
maybe see some of their struggles and struggles you've been
open about.

Speaker 26 (01:16:38):
Yeah, I think it's the vulnerability. I think it's the uh,
the authenticity and you know, and and I'm making music
in the tradition of you know, Luther and and and
and Marvin and and all that, all that great music
that we grew up with at Eisley Brothers and and Patty.
You know what I'm saying, I'm holding I'm trying to
keep the light on for for what I feel is

(01:16:59):
is is good R and B.

Speaker 9 (01:17:00):
And I think people appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
But you're independent now, so you pay for everything. So
how does that feel, that part of the business feeling.

Speaker 9 (01:17:07):
It's incredible. I started as an independent though.

Speaker 26 (01:17:09):
Right my first album, Chemistry, I released on my own label,
Chemistry Records. We sold that's when we you know, I
was selling CDs literally out out of my trunk, seventeen
thousand units on my own. So I'm just returning to
I've come home, you know. So it's a full circle moment.
Twenty three good years at Motown. You know, Motown was

(01:17:30):
good to me, and I was definitely good to Motown,
you know, light on. Yeah, we kept you know, we
kept it pushing. But in this season of my life,
you know, as a husband, a father, we got a
lot of kids, a lot going on, and I'm thinking
about my legacy and how I want to move forward
more equity, more autonomy, you know.

Speaker 9 (01:17:51):
So I feel real good.

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
I feel the majority of your money was probably made
a touring or right touring.

Speaker 26 (01:17:56):
Yeah, touring is definitely the gift that keeps on giving,
as well as publishing. You know, publishing right because I
write most of I write most of my stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:18:04):
You know, You've been very open about things like, you know,
homelessness and in addiction before finding like you know, your
your breakthrough.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
How did those struggles shape you as a as an artist?

Speaker 26 (01:18:15):
Look, coming through the other side of my darkness is
really the foundation that that's got me sitting here with y'all.
You know what I'm saying, My testimony is is everything
you know, and the music is infused with it, and
I just I don't just look at what I'm doing
as as an entertainer, you know, I'm I'm in the business,

(01:18:37):
you know, and I'm in the game.

Speaker 9 (01:18:38):
But I also look at it as as as ministry
in a way. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 26 (01:18:42):
People who are going through you know, hopefully I say
something that that that resonates with them, that helps them,
helps pull them through the other side of their darkness.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
Too.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
What made you give it up? What was that that
final thing that says, I'm going to give this something
I'm gonna change. When you talk about the drugs and
the alcohol, you.

Speaker 9 (01:18:59):
Know, I know it sounds, it sounds triting. People say
it all the time.

Speaker 26 (01:19:03):
It's a cliche, you know, but it's like you get
sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Speaker 5 (01:19:07):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:19:08):
You know, I got sober when I was twenty three
years old and in and out.

Speaker 26 (01:19:12):
Of jail, hospitalized because of my addiction, strange from my family,
you know, couldn't go home.

Speaker 9 (01:19:19):
Sleeping outside.

Speaker 26 (01:19:20):
You know, my friends were people at my contemporaries were
you know, they were in school, they were in college,
they were starting their careers. Saturday night, they're out on dates.
They're doing the thing. You know what I'm meeting out
of trash cans. You know what I'm saying. And I'm
you know, when people think my story is is uh
is one of rags riches, but it's really the.

Speaker 9 (01:19:38):
Story of the of the prodigal son. You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 26 (01:19:41):
My parents, you know, two cars, and I mean, you know,
I want to send me to school and like all
of that, you know, but yeah, I got sick and
tired of being sick and tired, and I and I
gave up on my idea of how to change it myself.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Right.

Speaker 26 (01:19:55):
There's an adage I love that says, when the student
is ready, the teacher appears. You know, when I gave up,
when I surrendered. You know, God brought some people into
my life who showed me how to how to live
a better way, and I did doing it ever since.

Speaker 4 (01:20:09):
If you don't mind me asking, how did the addiction
start with a recreational Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:20:14):
It started recreationally.

Speaker 14 (01:20:17):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:20:18):
You know, man, the first time.

Speaker 26 (01:20:20):
I had a drink, man, it was like, you know,
I was you know, I think to some degree, we
all have some degree of dysfunction and in our homes,
and I just I didn't have I didn't have.

Speaker 9 (01:20:30):
Any coping skills, right.

Speaker 26 (01:20:33):
And my parents, you know, God bless them, they did
the best they could. We were you know, we didn't
talk about anything in our house.

Speaker 5 (01:20:39):
You know, we didn't.

Speaker 26 (01:20:39):
Uh, there was anxiety. And what I know now is
is childhood depression and and eighty AHD. We didn't have
them labels. You know, everybody, we all depressed. Just get
up and put your head down and plow through it.
So all of those things. So by the time I
found alcohol and drugs, dude, it was like a light
went on.

Speaker 9 (01:20:58):
You know what I'm saying. It was a place of
uh you know, I thought that it was a place
of of of refuge.

Speaker 7 (01:21:04):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:21:04):
I was I was I was free to be me.

Speaker 7 (01:21:06):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:21:06):
I was the the life of the party, you know,
until until I wasn't.

Speaker 13 (01:21:11):
You know.

Speaker 26 (01:21:12):
So my my upbringing was it was it laid the
foundation to seek something outside of myself, to to to medicate.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
You know, as soon as you often just ofmos shut up.

Speaker 9 (01:21:25):
So it's all good.

Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
Now you mentioned your parents, you know, so I'm sure
your parents had to kick you out to get to
for you to to get to where you need to be.

Speaker 9 (01:21:34):
The best thing that ever happened to me was my
mother throwing me out of the house. Break that down.

Speaker 8 (01:21:37):
Because a lot of parents wouldn't do that because they
feel like that's their sun. They don't want to, but
I feel like, sometimes you have.

Speaker 9 (01:21:42):
To, you have to.

Speaker 26 (01:21:43):
Yeah, she had to. It's the best thing that ever
happened to me, you know. And uh, and when we
and when we do that, and I'm saying that as
a as a father. And I don't know that I'd
have the courage to do that, you know what I'm saying,
even haven't had the experience. But you know, and because
there's a there's a risk and when we when we
show that type of tough love to someone, there's a
risk that they won't make it, you know what I'm saying.

(01:22:05):
But there's also a risk that that they'll die in
their darkness, you know. So I'm glad that my mother
made that choice. What's your relationship after today? It's all good, right,
It's all up, you know, it was it was necessary
my mom's and my mom's in recovery too, you know,
the whole the whole dynamic in our house, you know, shifted,

(01:22:25):
you know, and uh and we were we did a
lot of great a lot of good work to get
to uh to a good place.

Speaker 9 (01:22:31):
And we lost my my my father last fall.

Speaker 26 (01:22:34):
But you know, we're all all all in a good place, man,
And I'm grateful for its breaker. I would say, as
far as addiction is concerned. As far as addiction is concerned,
my mother, my mother got sober first, you know, and
I and I and I have I have continued I

(01:22:55):
have continued the I like that, I'm gonna take that
with me. I have continued the herse breaking, you know,
and uh and and hopefully my children will will will
carry it forward.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Absolutely. Yeah, I heard you say that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:07):
You know, y'all didn't talk about things in your house
when you were younger, before your father's passed and leading
up to that. Did you guys get to have those
conversations that you say, you know, we didn't talk because
we didn't talk about anything.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Can we talk about it now?

Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (01:23:22):
Yeah, we Yeah, we're you know, we were good, you know,
and you know, and I think that that's that's not
exclusive to our culture. But I'm sure that you know
our culture we identify. You know, you talk, you know,
grown folks are talking. You're going the other room. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (01:23:35):
You're seen and you're not and you're not heard. You
know what I'm saying. And uh, you know. But but
we did a lot again, we did a lot of
great work to get to the other side of that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
Yeah, we're still kicking it with Kim. His new single
Rock with Me is out today.

Speaker 7 (01:23:48):
Yes, you had said that your music was your therapy,
you know, ety time of homelessness right when you're away
from your community.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
Have you ever done any other therapy, like real therapy?

Speaker 5 (01:23:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:23:58):
Yeah for sure, yeh yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:24:00):
Dude.

Speaker 26 (01:24:01):
When I get when I signed, when I when I
signed my contract uh with Motown, I had a panic attack,
first time I ever had one, and I didn't know
what it was. I thought that getting a record deal,
which I had been you know, perverbally chasing like all

(01:24:22):
of my life, I thought that that was going to
be the cure.

Speaker 9 (01:24:24):
All but I got the record deal.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
Now I'm cool.

Speaker 26 (01:24:27):
Right, there's all this other stuff, all this other all
this other baggage that still needed to be to be unpacked.
It didn't more money, to say, more money, more problems.

Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
It didn't.

Speaker 9 (01:24:38):
It didn't resolve you know, a lot of it's just
so I ended up.

Speaker 13 (01:24:41):
Uh. I was.

Speaker 26 (01:24:43):
I was talking to someone, a friend of mine, and
I was explaining to her how I was feeling. And
she happened to be a child psychologist, and she said,
have you ever been diagnosed with depression? And I said no,
you know no, And she recommended a therapist. So I
was a therapist and and you know, and educated myself.

Speaker 9 (01:25:04):
I was on medication. You know for a while, and uh,
you know, it was it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:09):
Was, it was.

Speaker 9 (01:25:09):
It was life changing, you know, we are And that's
after I think I got a record deal.

Speaker 13 (01:25:14):
I was.

Speaker 26 (01:25:15):
I had been sober for maybe ten So these layers there,
there are layers to our lives, layers of the onion
that we peel back. And there's more to discover, there's
more to unpacked. There's always always more to be done.

Speaker 13 (01:25:28):
You know.

Speaker 26 (01:25:29):
I know there's a lot of stigma, and not as
much today probably as as you know, I mean that
was twenty three as as there used to be about
you know, you know the Black Church, and we're talking
about you know, you only need Jesus, Like, yeah, you
need Jesus and a therapist, right, you need a Jesus
and a therapist, and you might need some and you
might need some some some medication, you know what I'm saying.

(01:25:50):
Don't let those things keep you from getting the help.

Speaker 9 (01:25:53):
That you need.

Speaker 4 (01:25:55):
How were you able to create a soundtrack of love
during that dark time in your life?

Speaker 5 (01:26:00):
So you didn't love yourself?

Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
Right, I don't know if you had somebody to love,
but how were you able to write?

Speaker 18 (01:26:05):
You were really honest about all the things.

Speaker 26 (01:26:07):
Going through all of the records up until I met
my wife are aspirational, right, you know, skinny, dark skinned kid, shy.
You know, I'm a I'm an introvert pretending to be
you know, an extrovert, you know, shy. You know, don't
get you know, want to want to look from the

(01:26:27):
pretty girl, want the you know, so I'm I'm that's
you know, too afraid to talk, you know. So that's
all of my songs work. That's all inspirational. It's all aspirational,
and it's all you know, when I did have a
girlfriend and then the loss of the loss of love,
you know that first, you know, you know that first,

(01:26:47):
the first album, Chemistry is it's all of that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
That's crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:26:51):
How you said you ain't even know how to talk? Man,
your music got so many guys cheeks.

Speaker 9 (01:26:56):
But I can do that, right, I'm standing there, so
my brothers standing in the gap from my brothers.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
Right, you hain't got the words.

Speaker 9 (01:27:03):
There's a kid, there's a Kim record for.

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
It, right, Yeah, So that love inspire your music or
the music inspired.

Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
Or where you love.

Speaker 9 (01:27:12):
Both both both?

Speaker 5 (01:27:16):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:27:16):
And people talk about.

Speaker 26 (01:27:19):
You know, and they and I used to be in
bands and they would be you know, everybody's we were
coming up in Minneapolis sound it was it was you know, Tony, Tony, Tony.
It was all the dance tracks and all the all
my my bandmates and my musical peers. You know, they
were chasing this thing. Dude, And I'm sitting over here
in the corner with these little quiet ass you know

(01:27:39):
what I'm saying. Are you always writing the loves?

Speaker 13 (01:27:42):
You know?

Speaker 26 (01:27:42):
While you always was like, dude, that's I don't know,
you know, that's just you know, that's just that's just
what it is. And I and I'm you know, and
I'm grateful for that, you know, because I think that
all that ales the world is a lack.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
Of love to some degree, no, I think not even
to some degree.

Speaker 4 (01:27:59):
I think that's what's missing because love gives you empathy,
love gives you caring. If you have those things, you'll
show up and be the human that we need you
to be. You know what I'm saying, Love, empathy, and care.
That's you know, yeah for real?

Speaker 7 (01:28:12):
Yeah yeah, Looking back now, right, what are you most
proud of now about your journey back then?

Speaker 9 (01:28:19):
I am most proud of being being sober, because.

Speaker 26 (01:28:25):
Upon that is that's the foundation for everything else. If
I'm not sober, I mean, that's that's you know, I
mean God and sobriety. You can go which one comes first,
because if I if I'm drinking, dude, I God may
still be with me, but I'm not.

Speaker 5 (01:28:40):
I'm not right.

Speaker 26 (01:28:44):
Sobriety is is probably the first thing upon that everything
else is built. And after that is uh, you know,
it's my is, my family, my kids, my wife and I.
We've got seven.

Speaker 9 (01:28:58):
Kids between us, right, I said. The oldest is thirty,
the youngest is one. You know what I'm saying. So wet,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
How did you meet your wife?

Speaker 9 (01:29:12):
How did you meet your wife? I met my wife
at a show in Atlanta, and my wife came to
a meet and greet on a tour that I shouldn't
that I that at the time, I didn't feel like
I should have been on. We had just we had
just it was just me, but we had just. This
was twenty fifteen.

Speaker 26 (01:29:32):
So in twenty fourteen, you know, me, Joe and Charlie Wilson,
you know, we was out killing him for months, right
and then and then I came back and tried to
do do another two, so we had been out there.
So I really felt, you know that I shouldn't have
been out on the road. But what you think you're
someplace for is not necessarily why you're there. We think

(01:29:53):
we're there for one reason, but there's something, there's something else,
something else is going on. And and I met my
wife at at a meet and Greek. She hates it, dude,
because when we get into our caller, Oh, yeah, meet
and greet.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
I got your meet and Greek.

Speaker 9 (01:30:09):
Right, she gonna see this, We're gonna have a right, that's.

It was a divine meet and greet.

Speaker 12 (01:30:15):
Though it was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:17):
Knew she was the one, you know, she was the
one as soon as you met her.

Speaker 26 (01:30:21):
Oh boy, there was something that made me want to
stay in contact with her, which I never you know,
and my min you know, and I'm lame, I'm a
I'm a square, right, I'm asking her she got a

first of all, I just want to shout out. I
know a lot of projects are dropping today, Lupe Fiasco
go face, I mean face.

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Face, I didn't my favorite time don't play with him?

Speaker 27 (01:32:21):
Yes, and uh Conway the Machine.

Speaker 28 (01:32:23):
But Chance the Rapper dropped his project last week and
I didn't touch on this, so I wanted to do
one of the records I like. And it's a pretty
lengthy project, but I will say my favorite records are
the records where he's actually rapping. I like Chance in
his rap back, hence the name Chance the Rapper, So
I like, uh, back to the Goal featuring Vic Mensall's Yeah,

(01:32:44):
I'm be.

Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
Honest with you.

Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
I haven't gotten the Chance project yet. I'm still on
this clips.

Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
I've been on Jed, I've been on your my Man
Name Marco plus plus Like, I haven't gotten the Chance yet.

Speaker 3 (01:32:54):
I gotta get the Chance.

Speaker 27 (01:32:55):
Definitely listen to it. I think it's worth to listen.

Speaker 28 (01:32:58):
And yeah, like I said, all the rap records on there,
I definitely favor in that song in particular, I really
like the acid line, like the flip the homage his
first project.

Speaker 18 (01:33:08):
I thought that was really tough.

Speaker 28 (01:33:09):
But also Tianna Taylor just dropped her project and she
got a song on there with Jill Scott.

Speaker 27 (01:33:14):
First of all, it's a star studied lineup.

Speaker 28 (01:33:16):
She got Tarajip doing like opening skit that she has
La La doing like another skit, but it's more like
a poem that's kind of talking on like breakup, like portrayal,
I guess, alluding to the divorce that you know they
both went through. Anyway, the joint with Jill Scott is tough.
It's just gott featured in Tyler and it's called Poom Poom.

Speaker 3 (01:33:36):
I want to hit Jill.

Speaker 27 (01:33:37):
Yeah, I don't know why.

Speaker 28 (01:33:38):
I think it's because we're just jail. It's good though.
Definitely go listen to it. It's on the playlist, or
just check out Tiana's project. It's sexy hanging with Jill.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
Because you want a record with Jill.

Speaker 5 (01:33:49):
I know they hanging off with de Life.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Oh, I know they're hanging on with Jill Life, trying
to keep up with Jill.

Speaker 28 (01:33:58):
It's good, but it's well done. I want to say
Tiana did a really good job putting this project together.
I feel like not everybody puts like thought and care
and intention behind their projects, but this was well done.

Speaker 19 (01:34:09):
Phenomenal the visuals, and I think people talking enough about
the like she's literally making many movies that sink, and
she's dropping them in order.

Speaker 18 (01:34:17):
The fashion is fire like her. I mean, they're always
on point. Who won't talk about it.

Speaker 19 (01:34:21):
It's still not going to like it doesn't matter, I'm
saying either way, exactly, Face Killer.

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
My favorite and of all time, stopped playing with Let's.

Speaker 18 (01:34:31):
Get into it here, pit no pausing, y'all. You don't
have to do you mean you don't have to It's
a skit.

Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
You got to hear the skin on ghost Face. It's hilarious.
Is my favorite, my favorite.

Speaker 5 (01:34:44):
AI.

Speaker 3 (01:34:45):
I want to go back to Jill Scott real quick though,
because that's my Jill.

Speaker 4 (01:34:49):
I do my wife'savorite arts all time, and to a mind,
I don't think I've ever heard Jill Scott doing R
and B collaboration with other women.

Speaker 3 (01:34:54):
I could be completely wrong. I'm sitting there racking my
brain about it. I cannot thin.

Speaker 5 (01:35:00):
I'm not saying she didn't.

Speaker 28 (01:35:02):
She did do one with Colonie on Kilanie's last project,
but Kilanie shortened her verse, so we don't know what
the full sounds like.

Speaker 27 (01:35:08):
But she is on a project. It's like her and
then some really big Brazilian artists.

Speaker 18 (01:35:12):
Okay, yeah, Kilanie Marshall.

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
Yeah, she got she got a couple.

Speaker 13 (01:35:15):
She does.

Speaker 18 (01:35:16):
They said, yeah, Brandy, Brandy, come on.

Speaker 27 (01:35:19):
I don't play with Jilly from film.

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
Remember that's what I'm asking. I really don't remember.

Speaker 18 (01:35:22):
It was a it was a conversation, collaboration with her
and Grown Woman, Grown Woman.

Speaker 4 (01:35:28):
I would have remembered the Martian and Jail. Now that's
my two of my favorites right there.

Speaker 19 (01:35:31):
You talking about, Well, she definitely did, Kilanie Coline says,
the song is it?

Speaker 22 (01:35:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:35:38):
I never heard that was.

Speaker 19 (01:35:39):
They collaborated on Black Girls Rocks, so they both are
separate songs, but I guess they both participated.

Speaker 9 (01:35:46):
So people, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
Colanie was hanging off with deal Life. That's why she
cut down verse about Jill Scott. See, I'm not trying
to diss any of these women.

Speaker 4 (01:35:55):
I'm just telling you that when you're talking about people
like Jill Scott, that's a different caliber, that's a different tear.

Speaker 5 (01:35:59):
Say something open law because you don't know.

Speaker 12 (01:36:01):
I was just I was.

Speaker 19 (01:36:02):
What I was about to say is that no one
would take it as a disc because when the young
girls talk about Jill Scott, we get her the praise
and she's like she'd be o G mentoring give it
like on Instagram in person, everything like.

Speaker 18 (01:36:14):
So that's not a distance.

Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
Jill Scott feet when she walking.

Speaker 14 (01:36:18):
We do, we do.

Speaker 18 (01:36:21):

Speaker 4 (01:36:24):
You got Erica right there on the wall, you see,
we got Jill Scott over there, you know, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
The balance for the room well done.

Speaker 18 (01:36:30):
Okay, well we like it.

Speaker 27 (01:36:31):
And so you did like the ghost Face record obviously,
I like everything you've played it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:35):
Everything was good, what.

Speaker 18 (01:36:37):

by the way.

to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Did you hear what I said?

Speaker 4 (01:40:55):
Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss
of enthusiasm. Because sometimes we fail and we get you know, unenthused,
and we're not enthused about things, and we be like, damn,
I want to quit, but you can't.

Speaker 5 (01:41:06):
You gotta keep going.
