it is Christmas Eve and we are having Christmas Eve.
I guess breakfast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Only one person can make us work on a holiday.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
That's right. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Patty Lapey. So
this is the second time that we are here at
Miss Patty's house. Yes, and last time it was more
of a Thanksgiving feast. But this time she's gonna make
breakfast and teach us how to actually cook breakfast, which
Lauren needs because Lauren needs to keep a man. But
of all, he husky.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
He like to eat, so can you he Husky is
such a bad word. Okay, don't do that to my man.
But I can cooking. I'll be cooking what I cook.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Not that I doubt that that. You shouldn't be able to.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
People.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Just don't do it.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
My grandma. You can't grow up in the house and
my grandmama not cook. You got to get up at
a certain time and day. You gotta cook, especially when
you have po bover the house.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
It better be good. Oh it is, don't you just cook?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
I cook from the hearts.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I don't cook like you, though, Miss Patty. Oh well,
so I'll take a little cues. He told me break
some food home.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
How are you feeling? First and foremost, I.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Feel like a queen?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You know, do you feel like you are?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Well? Thank you? I just feel so blessed. And then
I was just saying again to Kim, I said, breakfast club,
we're here again at my house. And I admire all
of you guys and lady, and I'm I'm chosen. I
know I'm chosen. That's my baby. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Tired though, you're just on tour. And I mean Christmas
is the holiday season where they want Miss Patty to cook. Yeah,
you know, they want Miss Patty's meals, they want Miss
Patty's food, Miss Chatty's dinner, Miss Patty's breakfast. But you
just got off tour Miss Patty the rest too.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I'm tired. I have to tell you that I'm blessed
and tired, but I still cook. I have to cook.
Like I said, I was gonna cook for Thanksgiving, I
ended up cooking a lot of stuff for Christmas. I'm
gonna end up cooking a lot of stuff. For New
Year's I'll be doing the same. So I'm just a
professional cook who loves to cook. And I'm not never
gonna say that my stuff is better than your mother's
(02:15):
or your grandmother's or you know, because I cook the
way I cook, and I'm no better than those ladies
and gentlemen who cook also. But I'm happy to be
asked to cook.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Are you at the point when you're passing down recipes yet,
are you just like, no, go buy the products?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I pass? Okay, yeah, but they still can't do it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Like what's your favorite meal to cook during the holidays?
It's one thing that you just enjoy cooking, and what's
one thing that you don't necessarily like cooking but everybody wants.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Everybody wants my potato salad because it's so good. But
I don't feel like cutting up all that stuff, you know,
because you have to do fresh ingredients. So that's what
they want. But I don't feel like doing it all,
but I do it. I'm gonna do it for Christmas
and macaroni instead of buying my macaroni, I have to
make my own macaroni because Zori wants it. Zori is
(03:08):
my son who said, mon, don't buy your own stuff,
going in that kitchen and cook it. So I have
to make macaroni for him.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's Christmas to cook for himself now.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
And guess what, it's no that boy cook is better
than me. His chili, his food, his roast chicken and
stuff that he just does. And I happen to have
a piece of it. He only gives me a little
piece and he won't tell me what he put in it.
So he's a wonderful cook. You know we're gonna have
(03:38):
a cook off though.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He's the one you trust with the recipes, like because
I know you probably passed the stuff down, but everybody
can't do it.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
You can't know he does it. Yes, he does it
better than me. So but I'm mad.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Talk about how being in the kitchen just what it
does for you, like spiritually.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
It's so I get such a happy feeling. And I
know whoever I'm cooking for when they leave, they're gonna
ask for a takeout container, and that I love more
than anything for them to say I need seconds. Girl,
That just puts a smile on my face. I am
more of a cook than a singer. So I enjoy well,
(04:19):
I enjoy both of them. But I say that I
cook better than I sing sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yes, does it make you go crazy sometimes when people
notice you for different things, Like I have a twenty
two year old son and I told him I'm coming
out here, and when I said your name, he didn't
say the music. He said, yeah, allhr stuff, it's all
over target, and he knows you from that type of stuff.
But then my parents know you from your music and touring. Yes,
make you go crazy?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Sometimes it makes me feel great because they know me
for both things, and I I you know, I just
feel good all the accolades that people put on me
and just say that they love this and they love that.
Excuse me, guys, My voice is like diminishing, it's like
lo but I like it all.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Singing is your passion, Cooking is your passion. Did you
ever think that you could get paid off the passion
of cooking?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Never? I would always want to give that away. You know,
you don't grow up learning how to say this is
gonna cost fifteen dollars for this chicken dish. You just
give it out and say I hope you love it,
but never to get paid.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But I'm blessed, especially now with all the products in stores.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, I am blessed. I mean, I'm not gonna shy
away from that because a lot of people won't buy
food from people entertainers, especially because they think entertainers are lying.
Most of the time, I ain't lying. So that's why
I love what I do.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We were talking to your family earlier, and we were
just saying, man, like, we don't know who uncle Ben is, right,
not your mama. We don't know who that is. The
people on these boxes, we don't.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Know who they are, if they real I know, but
you know me. Thank you so much for knowing me. Yeah,
I am so happy that people are accepting my foods
and my music. You know, I am happy about all
of that. Keep on doing it, you know at eighty one,
don't stop a guess that's right at all.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Did you ever think about, because you said, like, people
don't want to buy food sometimes from entertainers because the
don't believe it. Did you ever think about like not
putting you at the forefront of it, just like doing
the recipes and the mixes and putting it out there
just front of it up.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I could have done that, but no, my face is
better period. That's right.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
No, and that's exactly how Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
And people you know, when they see oh Patty, that's
my girl, she has food that we're going to purchase. Yeah.
So no, I like it this way.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And you have a bunch of celebrities who like license
their name, but your products always feel personal? So how
involved are you in the recipes and the quality.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Control and the I'm totally involved in everything, Zori, Alex
and Charles. They'll go to the people that they have
to go to the sea to show my food and
let them taste my food. But before that happens, I
have to taste it. So sometimes we go back like
ten times making the sweet potato pies to make sure
(07:13):
the recipe is right. So I'm totally involved. If there's
no Patty in the decision, there's no food.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Word, you know, its fatter. I wanted to ask you know,
for yourself, you would like the bridge when it comes
to the older generation and younger generations. Sometimes you don't
see that. Sometimes you know the older generation or say
I'm only staying with mine, But I feel like you
open your arms to so many different people, right. Why
is that? Because it doesn't matter if you're talking to
Lauren's grandma on the phone, you're just this kind and
(07:42):
so you're talking to a younger artist. Why is it
that it's that thoughtful of Why? Why does that mean
to most of you?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
It means a lot to maybe because they trust my
food and my music because everything that I do is
from my heart. It's like I said, I would give
the way, but now that it's gonna sell, I'm not
gonna I mean, that's just because it's from my heart.
Everything that I do is for my heart and will
(08:09):
take time. On the macaroni recipe of making sure it's
mine because I make it just like the one that
you're buying in the store. I make it like that.
I have to say that I have a little more
cheeses and mine than in this one. Maybe three more cheeses. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And I know currently you were number two behind Pearl
Milling and Walmart, Kroger and H. E. Bow Reasonable and
we know you. We can walk in the stores and
we know exactly who you are, I mean starting out
in this and you're doing it just so easily and gracefully,
like starting out, did you? What was the plan?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Like?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Was it always let me you know, go into these
big retailers or like, did you want to just feed
your people?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Like what was your goal?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I wanted to go into the big, the big, big places,
you know, with my food. Like what's girlfriend's name?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Shut up the girl?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah? Who did you just.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Say Tabitha Brown?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Oh? I love Tabitha, but miss Martha she's doing it.
And so would Tabitha if she was not a black woman,
you know. So I know why the bird sings and
all that stuff. So I want to be big, you know,
why not? And like to say when you look at
the box, you said, oh, she looks like me, or
(09:38):
she cooks like me. So I'm buying and stuff. I'm
gonna cook my own because people do cook much better
than I do, you know. But I am happy to
say that they've been buying my food.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You know, food is deeply emotional for like the black community, right,
So what memories or lessons from your family kitchen or
put into your products?
Speaker 5 (09:59):
My mom, I was making fresh fried corn off the cob,
you know, not the can, not the frozen, the fresh
that you shuck and then you cream it and then
you add butter, half and half cream of sea salt,
and black pepper. So she was making it one day.
But before she made that, she fried the bacon because
(10:20):
we liked bacon in our food. Sometimes it could have
been turkey bacon, but no, it was polke bacon, and
she would fry the bacon. So I tried to do it.
One day, I fried that bacon and I have a
mark on my chin. That bacon fell back in the
pen and it was over.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
But I learned how to That grease popped up, you know,
and I said, but I'm still gonna cook. And then
I learned to cook even more safe, you know, because
there's a way to cook that you're not gonna burn
the house down or burn yourself up. But I learned
by watching my mother and father cook everything everything, and
it was quality.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
You learned about ownership and longevity from transitioning from the
music business into retail and consumer products.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Oh, it was so good to be an owner of yourself.
It's just like with your music. If you own your music,
you know, you're so much better than just letting a
company take care of you. So I've learned with Zy,
Charles and Alex, we don't make many mistakes when it
comes to now presenting our foods to the public because
(11:28):
they're truly businessmen, and I am whatever. I am the
woman behind the I think I'm the woman behind the
as to regud you know. So they do the hard work.
And like I said, I'm blessed to be surrounded by
(11:49):
smart people and people who are not going to let
anyone take advantage of me.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And I don't think you would know that that they
fully own it all like you and your son, that
you'll own it own. Every decision is from y'all. Every
time we put something out there, whether it's pancake batter,
whether it's peach cobbler, whether sweet potato pie, it's it's
all done and sort over from you.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Oh, yes, that has totally.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
There's nobody in behind you a watering your product down.
I'm making sure it goes here.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Everything and we don't mind doing it because that's what
we're supposed to do a lot of people lazy out
and said, well, I'm go with it so far, I'm
not going to do this. I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
It will just happen.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Well, my voice is it worse? And yeah, we take
care very great, Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You sound fine.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
I mean everywhere.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
With these other queens, so much fun. We go back
February nineteenth, we start again, and that's been fun. Fine.
I've been doing my own shows also with my bad
so I never stopped. I don't want to stop. But
I'm recording, so don't say god it's been fifty five
(13:07):
years since she had a record out. Well, it's been
about twenty twenty years and I've been working on it
for the last year, so it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So you record music right now. That's why you're talking
about your voice.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Traveling.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Yeah, there's been a lot of wonderful things that I've
been doing, this working on mine throat.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Yeah, in the Queen Store.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
You guys, we were talking earlier about you guys being
top ten grossing tours for urban tours.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, well that's really great, really, and the four of
us have so much fun, although we don't get to
see each other too much because we all have fifty
minutes on stage. As soon as that girl goes off,
that one's on, and then that one's on. It's like
a well oiled machine, the way this thing works. And
(13:58):
then there's those beautiful little young princess you know, the girls,
the babies.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh they come on prior to you guys. No, yes, okay,
I saw you there. You guys are both with Black
Promoters collective.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Right, Yes, So, I mean they've been doing a great job.
And it's just good that you see all black women
doing it together, which sometimes it doesn't happen, but it's happening,
and it's so even. It's just good. It's good and
they all seeing their faces off.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
That'saw them give you all your flowers too.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Yeah, but yes from Kelly Rowland and Beyonce was backstage
as I received these roses, and I well, they talked
to me about how they're on my shoulders and if
it wasn't for people like Patti La Belle, they wouldn't
be Destiny's job when they were. Yeah, So I was
(14:54):
truly honest that night. I was a superstar.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You can't be surprised when you hear stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I was when Zuri called and said, Cally wants Kelly
wants to give you your roses. So I said why
and what? I didn't really understand that Her husband called
Zuri and said that Kelly wants to do something for
miss Lavelle. And when I went, they told me what
they were going to do. I said, well, just called
me up and it was just one of the better
(15:24):
moments in my life to hear the ovation and to
see the young girls Monica and they're all coming to me,
just giving me love. And you don't get that out
all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I feel like you would like you should like this
is well if not you who.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Yeah, so many others, you know, but it depends on
who you like. And those little girls like Patty.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Patty, But I mean it's like, you know, you're you're
kind of like the last of a dying breeze. Like
it's not too many miss Patty Labelle's left, right, You're right.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Maybe I can't even think of too many others.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Of course, you know Stephanie Mills and the Shaka Khan,
which is great to see.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Oh yes, it's like so many of us, but there
are so many of us who aren't working, you know,
which is not good. It's just kind of sad because
those ladies can sing. But people forget black women quicker
than they do white. So they're forgotten for the reason
is the color of their skin. And you know, but
(16:27):
we still persevere because I know, I know that I'm good.
You know I'm not. There's like, always compare myself with
my girlfriend Celine Dion if you ask me to, And
I always said, gosh, that girl killed that with her
ratings or her cells and we did the same song
(16:47):
the same way, And you know, I gotta be real,
It's just one of those things. Do I love her? Yes,
But let's get a little even stuff going around every
now and then, you know that that would be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Has there been a challenge in the product business too?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Hm? Hazard sorry, said no, they've been small and lately
the three guys. Yeah, so no, We, like I said,
we have something that a lot of people work so
hard to get and they don't. They never stopped working,
(17:25):
and nor do I. So you got to keep on
keeping on. Don't stop because they tell you no.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yes, told me that you're taking a trip international.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
She's going to say, yes, you are going to it's
yours about celebrating your birthday to eighty sixty five tour
fifty six er eighty sixty five, you're supposed that's going to.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Happen, But it's going to happen next year, yes, not
twenty years six, twenty seven, Okay, okay, Patty, it's okay,
sixty five tour. It's a celebration of your birthday, but
also sixty five years in the entertainment business. Correct, sixty
five years singing. It's gonna be nice. The last time
(18:10):
I was in this story it was thirty years ago.
And we're happy to be invited. Yeah, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
And this is a solo tour, well, solo dates that
you're going to solo dates.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah, this is not with the Queens solo.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
That's twenty six hours on a plane.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
At least eighteen I think, is it eighteens?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
About eighteen twenty?
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Is it twenty six.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Twenty from the East coast?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
What makes you still want to tour? You don't have to?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Oh, I have to for my soul. I mean that
brings me joy. If I stopped singing like today, I
would do what correct. I'm tired of that too.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You got kids, you got grandkids running around.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I know, I cop for the babies, you know, But
right now, there's never going to be a time when
I can say to the world this is my last tour,
no way, and when they say it, they lie. Nobody
want to stop. Yeah, I can't stop.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
This I saw this story. Queen Latifa was talking to
Jennifer Hudson about how she was ready to leave the
entertainment business and you. She didn't really go too much
into detail, but she just said that you were the
reason why she stayed, Like you came into her life
and she decided not to leave the entertainment business.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, because you know, I've been there where they're going,
and I know once we get in, we're in and
don't stop something that you love. They all love to
sing and they can sing. That's that's a big difference.
Sometimes sometimes people sing and they can't. But all these
young girls they can sing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, all of it.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Well, in trouble now, don't you give me statty in
trouble now?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
All of them?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Okay, we just do.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I just do. I mean it's natural for me to
stay who I am and oh gosh, I just like
being Patty, just basic. I'm a very boring person, very quiet,
very laid back. The only thing I do that people
might say, why are you doing that? And they better
not say it because they all do it. Play cards, play.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Before you leave today?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
A yes, we all We're having a game tomorrow night
at my house. I never heard of at this house.
Hold up, I said, at this house?

Okay, what this was? Yours to.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
My house?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
And I don't live here? Yes, at my house? Yeah,
tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's right. What is Pennsylvania in Philly mean to you?
Because here and I was telling my mom and and
Lauren was telling her grandmother. She was like, everybody know,
Patty stayed in Pennsylvania. That's Hortown, Philly, hotwn. What is
what does Philly mean to you? And why won't you?
Speaker 5 (21:15):
What does Philly mean to me? It means that you
don't have very much to do, kind of boring, kind
of way laid back. But I love that life. So
that's why I'm still here. Most people say, why aren't
you in l a too? Phony? You know? And I
don't deal with pretending people, people who pretend, And I
(21:37):
just Philly is my job job.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Oh my god, that is gonna be just be out here.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Wow, okay, yes, so ya. I love Philly, you know,
and I'm gonna be here.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
How does that helped you?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Like in moments where like I don't know if you've
ever had the moment like with Queen the Teapa was
talking about, were you just exhaust stick from everything you're doing,
the cook inside and the music side, being at home
and there's so much family around you. How does that, like,
you know, rejuvenate you on days? Or you like, yo,
leave me alone?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Never do I say leave me alone. I just close
the door so they know if I'm closing the door
that it's like quiet time for me.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Are you ready to tell like your story through like
documentaries and bio.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Pics and all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
We started doing a documentary and we also started on
doing a biopic, so there's gonna be somebody playing Patty.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Wow. Have you got anybody in mind?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I got loads of girls in mine, but I can't
tell you yet.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
But the first and foremost do they have to look
like you or.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Sound like Oh? No, more than anything. If they sound
like me. The look they can make, that make up
make me look like me. Who's oh my god, there's
so many Well I have a big mouth, well loud

Oh yeah, okay, she's saying.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Yeah, but she did something for another artist, did she
or did she not?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I thought Jennifer Hutton too, but I feel like Jennifer, Yeah,
that and also too dream Girls as well. I feel
like you need someone who hasn't kind of taken on
that space of like telling someone's story so that we
can see them at you only.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
I have a lot in mine. I just really don't
know yet it's a lot in mine.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah, there was the there's a lot of stuff that
circulates from like Facebook to everywhere about you. They said
that you're serious. Was be like, it was sixteen episodes
and you were producing every single episode, And I was
in here asking people today, it was like, that is
not true.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Child. The stuff I've been reading about me, I said,
really at eighty one and a half, twins, twins, real babies, congratulations,
so many things like the homeless shelter.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
And the hospitalsp Yeah, they said that you were creating
a hospital for homeless people to get completely free services.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Of course it's true. No, none of that stuff is true.
Come on, Eliah, I did say it that AI is
the reason for all of this false stuff going around
about me. So when people read it, they call fifty times,
They'll call Kim. Is it true that Patty had twins?
Is it true that Patty is building a hospital. Is
(24:48):
it true that she's married? Is it true that she
has this going on? It's all AI and they're doing
it not just to Patty LaBelle, but to so many entertainers.
They're catching because so many people believe that and it's
just not true. And the sooner we get the word
out so people can stop doing this, having privileges to
(25:10):
just say anything about anybody, you know, it's it's not good.
Yeah in Twins at eighty one, that's Rosemary.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Baby, that did you sell?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Awful?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's awful. All the AI stuff is not. It's just disgusting.
And when people believe it's worse than that.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Did you what? Jamaine Dupre said. Jamain Dupre said that
AI singers should have their own chart, like their own
billboard for AI artists, their own platform for AI artists
and their own stuff. It shouldn't be mixed with regular artists.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
They just need to shoot AI uh where you know,
and ended it shouldn't be two, it shouldn't be AI
and then real.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
God, no, I know AI is like you know, a
part of the times, but for real like singer singers
like you who've always like your craft, like when people
talk about Patty LaBelle. It's like you can't get close
to her. Right when people have the argument of like
whether we should accept it or not, do you take
it as like a disrespect thing when people are saying,
(26:17):
yes you should because this is where things are going.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
You can't get around technology.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Yes, should I do well, I'd say that they should
keep going.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Or do you just take it as I said, shoot
it in the book I did.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
You can shoot it to kill it, saying it's awful,
it's a waste of time.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah, that killing I heard it.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Let's go to the kitchen man cook for us, but

Speaker 5 (27:39):
Can I say one thing, of course, how you guys
just support me every chance you get. How great that
makes me feel because you don't have to call Patty Labell,
but you do.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I love you, we value you.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
I'm not playing though. A lot of people take what
they get for granted. I never take Breakfast Club for
granted because you're so everything. You're your everything. And I
was telling Miss Thing, I've been watching her do interviews
and she's phenomenal. It's just that I thank.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You, no, thank you. You don't think it's a flexile.
We can't it on the phone, But we're going to
Miss Patty's house right now, creaked out.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
For like thirty I'm like, you got to hang up
on her. She's gonna she's gonna hold you like you're
not real. To some people, you're like a fairy talest people.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
That's really interesting. And that's another blessing.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
She said, you like as some people.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
We gotta go cook.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Let a girl cook. Come on,
Morning. Everybody is dj Envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm supposed to be off.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
We are supposed to be off. Yes, that's right. But
it is Christmas Eve and we are having Christmas Eve.
I guess breakfast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Only one person can make us work on a holiday.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
That's right. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Patty Lapey. So
this is the second time that we are here at
Miss Patty's house. Yes, and last time it was more
of a Thanksgiving feast. But this time she's gonna make
breakfast and teach us how to actually cook breakfast, which
Lauren needs because Lauren needs to keep a man. But
of all, he husky.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
He like to eat, so can you he Husky is
such a bad word. Okay, don't do that to my man.
But I can cooking. I'll be cooking what I cook.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Not that I doubt that that. You shouldn't be able to.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
People.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Just don't do it.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
My grandma. You can't grow up in the house and
my grandmama not cook. You got to get up at
a certain time and day. You gotta cook, especially when
you have po bover the house.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
It better be good. Oh it is, don't you just cook?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
I cook from the hearts.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I don't cook like you, though, Miss Patty. Oh well,
so I'll take a little cues. He told me break
some food home.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
How are you feeling? First and foremost, I.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Feel like a queen?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You know, do you feel like you are?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Well? Thank you? I just feel so blessed. And then
I was just saying again to Kim, I said, breakfast club,
we're here again at my house. And I admire all
of you guys and lady, and I'm I'm chosen. I
know I'm chosen. That's my baby. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Tired though, you're just on tour. And I mean Christmas
is the holiday season where they want Miss Patty to cook. Yeah,
you know, they want Miss Patty's meals, they want Miss
Patty's food, Miss Chatty's dinner, Miss Patty's breakfast. But you
just got off tour Miss Patty the rest too.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I'm tired. I have to tell you that I'm blessed
and tired, but I still cook. I have to cook.
Like I said, I was gonna cook for Thanksgiving, I
ended up cooking a lot of stuff for Christmas. I'm
gonna end up cooking a lot of stuff. For New
Year's I'll be doing the same. So I'm just a
professional cook who loves to cook. And I'm not never
gonna say that my stuff is better than your mother's
(02:15):
or your grandmother's or you know, because I cook the
way I cook, and I'm no better than those ladies
and gentlemen who cook also. But I'm happy to be
asked to cook.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Are you at the point when you're passing down recipes yet,
are you just like, no, go buy the products?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I pass? Okay, yeah, but they still can't do it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Like what's your favorite meal to cook during the holidays?
It's one thing that you just enjoy cooking, and what's
one thing that you don't necessarily like cooking but everybody wants.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Everybody wants my potato salad because it's so good. But
I don't feel like cutting up all that stuff, you know,
because you have to do fresh ingredients. So that's what
they want. But I don't feel like doing it all,
but I do it. I'm gonna do it for Christmas
and macaroni instead of buying my macaroni, I have to
make my own macaroni because Zori wants it. Zori is
(03:08):
my son who said, mon, don't buy your own stuff,
going in that kitchen and cook it. So I have
to make macaroni for him.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's Christmas to cook for himself now.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
And guess what, it's no that boy cook is better
than me. His chili, his food, his roast chicken and
stuff that he just does. And I happen to have
a piece of it. He only gives me a little
piece and he won't tell me what he put in it.
So he's a wonderful cook. You know we're gonna have
(03:38):
a cook off though.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He's the one you trust with the recipes, like because
I know you probably passed the stuff down, but everybody
can't do it.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
You can't know he does it. Yes, he does it
better than me. So but I'm mad.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Talk about how being in the kitchen just what it
does for you, like spiritually.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
It's so I get such a happy feeling. And I
know whoever I'm cooking for when they leave, they're gonna
ask for a takeout container, and that I love more
than anything for them to say I need seconds. Girl,
That just puts a smile on my face. I am
more of a cook than a singer. So I enjoy well,
(04:19):
I enjoy both of them. But I say that I
cook better than I sing sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yes, does it make you go crazy sometimes when people
notice you for different things, Like I have a twenty
two year old son and I told him I'm coming
out here, and when I said your name, he didn't
say the music. He said, yeah, allhr stuff, it's all
over target, and he knows you from that type of stuff.
But then my parents know you from your music and touring. Yes,
make you go crazy?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Sometimes it makes me feel great because they know me
for both things, and I I you know, I just
feel good all the accolades that people put on me
and just say that they love this and they love that.
Excuse me, guys, My voice is like diminishing, it's like
lo but I like it all.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Singing is your passion, Cooking is your passion. Did you
ever think that you could get paid off the passion
of cooking?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Never? I would always want to give that away. You know,
you don't grow up learning how to say this is
gonna cost fifteen dollars for this chicken dish. You just
give it out and say I hope you love it,
but never to get paid.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But I'm blessed, especially now with all the products in stores.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, I am blessed. I mean, I'm not gonna shy
away from that because a lot of people won't buy
food from people entertainers, especially because they think entertainers are lying.
Most of the time, I ain't lying. So that's why
I love what I do.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We were talking to your family earlier, and we were
just saying, man, like, we don't know who uncle Ben is, right,
not your mama. We don't know who that is. The
people on these boxes, we don't.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Know who they are, if they real I know, but
you know me. Thank you so much for knowing me. Yeah,
I am so happy that people are accepting my foods
and my music. You know, I am happy about all
of that. Keep on doing it, you know at eighty one,
don't stop a guess that's right at all.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Did you ever think about, because you said, like, people
don't want to buy food sometimes from entertainers because the
don't believe it. Did you ever think about like not
putting you at the forefront of it, just like doing
the recipes and the mixes and putting it out there
just front of it up.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I could have done that, but no, my face is
better period. That's right.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
No, and that's exactly how Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
And people you know, when they see oh Patty, that's
my girl, she has food that we're going to purchase. Yeah.
So no, I like it this way.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And you have a bunch of celebrities who like license
their name, but your products always feel personal? So how
involved are you in the recipes and the quality.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Control and the I'm totally involved in everything, Zori, Alex
and Charles. They'll go to the people that they have
to go to the sea to show my food and
let them taste my food. But before that happens, I
have to taste it. So sometimes we go back like
ten times making the sweet potato pies to make sure
(07:13):
the recipe is right. So I'm totally involved. If there's
no Patty in the decision, there's no food.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Word, you know, its fatter. I wanted to ask you know,
for yourself, you would like the bridge when it comes
to the older generation and younger generations. Sometimes you don't
see that. Sometimes you know the older generation or say
I'm only staying with mine, But I feel like you
open your arms to so many different people, right. Why
is that? Because it doesn't matter if you're talking to
Lauren's grandma on the phone, you're just this kind and
(07:42):
so you're talking to a younger artist. Why is it
that it's that thoughtful of Why? Why does that mean
to most of you?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
It means a lot to maybe because they trust my
food and my music because everything that I do is
from my heart. It's like I said, I would give
the way, but now that it's gonna sell, I'm not
gonna I mean, that's just because it's from my heart.
Everything that I do is for my heart and will
(08:09):
take time. On the macaroni recipe of making sure it's
mine because I make it just like the one that
you're buying in the store. I make it like that.
I have to say that I have a little more
cheeses and mine than in this one. Maybe three more cheeses. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And I know currently you were number two behind Pearl
Milling and Walmart, Kroger and H. E. Bow Reasonable and
we know you. We can walk in the stores and
we know exactly who you are, I mean starting out
in this and you're doing it just so easily and gracefully,
like starting out, did you? What was the plan?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Like?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Was it always let me you know, go into these
big retailers or like, did you want to just feed
your people?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Like what was your goal?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I wanted to go into the big, the big, big places,
you know, with my food. Like what's girlfriend's name?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Shut up the girl?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah? Who did you just.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Say Tabitha Brown?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Oh? I love Tabitha, but miss Martha she's doing it.
And so would Tabitha if she was not a black woman,
you know. So I know why the bird sings and
all that stuff. So I want to be big, you know,
why not? And like to say when you look at
the box, you said, oh, she looks like me, or
(09:38):
she cooks like me. So I'm buying and stuff. I'm
gonna cook my own because people do cook much better
than I do, you know. But I am happy to
say that they've been buying my food.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You know, food is deeply emotional for like the black community, right,
So what memories or lessons from your family kitchen or
put into your products?
Speaker 5 (09:59):
My mom, I was making fresh fried corn off the cob,
you know, not the can, not the frozen, the fresh
that you shuck and then you cream it and then
you add butter, half and half cream of sea salt,
and black pepper. So she was making it one day.
But before she made that, she fried the bacon because
(10:20):
we liked bacon in our food. Sometimes it could have
been turkey bacon, but no, it was polke bacon, and
she would fry the bacon. So I tried to do it.
One day, I fried that bacon and I have a
mark on my chin. That bacon fell back in the
pen and it was over.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
But I learned how to That grease popped up, you know,
and I said, but I'm still gonna cook. And then
I learned to cook even more safe, you know, because
there's a way to cook that you're not gonna burn
the house down or burn yourself up. But I learned
by watching my mother and father cook everything everything, and
it was quality.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
You learned about ownership and longevity from transitioning from the
music business into retail and consumer products.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Oh, it was so good to be an owner of yourself.
It's just like with your music. If you own your music,
you know, you're so much better than just letting a
company take care of you. So I've learned with Zy,
Charles and Alex, we don't make many mistakes when it
comes to now presenting our foods to the public because
(11:28):
they're truly businessmen, and I am whatever. I am the
woman behind the I think I'm the woman behind the
as to regud you know. So they do the hard work.
And like I said, I'm blessed to be surrounded by
(11:49):
smart people and people who are not going to let
anyone take advantage of me.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And I don't think you would know that that they
fully own it all like you and your son, that
you'll own it own. Every decision is from y'all. Every
time we put something out there, whether it's pancake batter,
whether it's peach cobbler, whether sweet potato pie, it's it's
all done and sort over from you.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Oh, yes, that has totally.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
There's nobody in behind you a watering your product down.
I'm making sure it goes here.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Everything and we don't mind doing it because that's what
we're supposed to do a lot of people lazy out
and said, well, I'm go with it so far, I'm
not going to do this. I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
It will just happen.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Well, my voice is it worse? And yeah, we take
care very great, Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You sound fine.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
I mean everywhere.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
With these other queens, so much fun. We go back
February nineteenth, we start again, and that's been fun. Fine.
I've been doing my own shows also with my bad
so I never stopped. I don't want to stop. But
I'm recording, so don't say god it's been fifty five
(13:07):
years since she had a record out. Well, it's been
about twenty twenty years and I've been working on it
for the last year, so it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So you record music right now. That's why you're talking
about your voice.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Traveling.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Yeah, there's been a lot of wonderful things that I've
been doing, this working on mine throat.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Yeah, in the Queen Store.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
You guys, we were talking earlier about you guys being
top ten grossing tours for urban tours.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, well that's really great, really, and the four of
us have so much fun, although we don't get to
see each other too much because we all have fifty
minutes on stage. As soon as that girl goes off,
that one's on, and then that one's on. It's like
a well oiled machine, the way this thing works. And
(13:58):
then there's those beautiful little young princess you know, the girls,
the babies.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Oh they come on prior to you guys. No, yes, okay,
I saw you there. You guys are both with Black
Promoters collective.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Right, Yes, So, I mean they've been doing a great job.
And it's just good that you see all black women
doing it together, which sometimes it doesn't happen, but it's happening,
and it's so even. It's just good. It's good and
they all seeing their faces off.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
That'saw them give you all your flowers too.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Yeah, but yes from Kelly Rowland and Beyonce was backstage
as I received these roses, and I well, they talked
to me about how they're on my shoulders and if
it wasn't for people like Patti La Belle, they wouldn't
be Destiny's job when they were. Yeah, So I was
(14:54):
truly honest that night. I was a superstar.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You can't be surprised when you hear stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I was when Zuri called and said, Cally wants Kelly
wants to give you your roses. So I said why
and what? I didn't really understand that Her husband called
Zuri and said that Kelly wants to do something for
miss Lavelle. And when I went, they told me what
they were going to do. I said, well, just called
me up and it was just one of the better
(15:24):
moments in my life to hear the ovation and to
see the young girls Monica and they're all coming to me,
just giving me love. And you don't get that out
all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I feel like you would like you should like this
is well if not you who.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Yeah, so many others, you know, but it depends on
who you like. And those little girls like Patty.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Patty, But I mean it's like, you know, you're you're
kind of like the last of a dying breeze. Like
it's not too many miss Patty Labelle's left, right, You're right.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Maybe I can't even think of too many others.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Of course, you know Stephanie Mills and the Shaka Khan,
which is great to see.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Oh yes, it's like so many of us, but there
are so many of us who aren't working, you know,
which is not good. It's just kind of sad because
those ladies can sing. But people forget black women quicker
than they do white. So they're forgotten for the reason
is the color of their skin. And you know, but
(16:27):
we still persevere because I know, I know that I'm good.
You know I'm not. There's like, always compare myself with
my girlfriend Celine Dion if you ask me to, And
I always said, gosh, that girl killed that with her
ratings or her cells and we did the same song
(16:47):
the same way, And you know, I gotta be real,
It's just one of those things. Do I love her? Yes,
But let's get a little even stuff going around every
now and then, you know that that would be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Has there been a challenge in the product business too?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Hm? Hazard sorry, said no, they've been small and lately
the three guys. Yeah, so no, We, like I said,
we have something that a lot of people work so
hard to get and they don't. They never stopped working,
(17:25):
and nor do I. So you got to keep on
keeping on. Don't stop because they tell you no.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yes, told me that you're taking a trip international.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
She's going to say, yes, you are going to it's
yours about celebrating your birthday to eighty sixty five tour
fifty six er eighty sixty five, you're supposed that's going to.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Happen, But it's going to happen next year, yes, not
twenty years six, twenty seven, Okay, okay, Patty, it's okay,
sixty five tour. It's a celebration of your birthday, but
also sixty five years in the entertainment business. Correct, sixty
five years singing. It's gonna be nice. The last time
(18:10):
I was in this story it was thirty years ago.
And we're happy to be invited. Yeah, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
And this is a solo tour, well, solo dates that
you're going to solo dates.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah, this is not with the Queens solo.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
That's twenty six hours on a plane.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
At least eighteen I think, is it eighteens?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
About eighteen twenty?
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Is it twenty six.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Twenty from the East coast?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
What makes you still want to tour? You don't have to?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Oh, I have to for my soul. I mean that
brings me joy. If I stopped singing like today, I
would do what correct. I'm tired of that too.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You got kids, you got grandkids running around.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I know, I cop for the babies, you know, But
right now, there's never going to be a time when
I can say to the world this is my last tour,
no way, and when they say it, they lie. Nobody
want to stop. Yeah, I can't stop.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
This I saw this story. Queen Latifa was talking to
Jennifer Hudson about how she was ready to leave the
entertainment business and you. She didn't really go too much
into detail, but she just said that you were the
reason why she stayed, Like you came into her life
and she decided not to leave the entertainment business.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yeah, because you know, I've been there where they're going,
and I know once we get in, we're in and
don't stop something that you love. They all love to
sing and they can sing. That's that's a big difference.
Sometimes sometimes people sing and they can't. But all these
young girls they can sing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, all of it.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Well, in trouble now, don't you give me statty in
trouble now?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
All of them?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Okay, we just do.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I just do. I mean it's natural for me to
stay who I am and oh gosh, I just like
being Patty, just basic. I'm a very boring person, very quiet,
very laid back. The only thing I do that people
might say, why are you doing that? And they better
not say it because they all do it. Play cards, play.

Because here and I was telling my mom and and
Lauren was telling her grandmother. She was like, everybody know,
Patty stayed in Pennsylvania. That's Hortown, Philly, hotwn. What is
what does Philly mean to you? And why won't you?
Speaker 5 (21:15):
What does Philly mean to me? It means that you
don't have very much to do, kind of boring, kind
of way laid back. But I love that life. So
that's why I'm still here. Most people say, why aren't
you in l a too? Phony? You know? And I
don't deal with pretending people, people who pretend, And I
(21:37):

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Oh my god, that is gonna be just be out here.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Wow, okay, yes, so ya. I love Philly, you know,
and I'm gonna be here.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
How does that helped you?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Like in moments where like I don't know if you've
ever had the moment like with Queen the Teapa was
talking about, were you just exhaust stick from everything you're doing,
the cook inside and the music side, being at home
and there's so much family around you. How does that, like,
you know, rejuvenate you on days? Or you like, yo,
leave me alone?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Never do I say leave me alone. I just close
the door so they know if I'm closing the door
that it's like quiet time for me.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Are you ready to tell like your story through like
documentaries and bio.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Pics and all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
We started doing a documentary and we also started on
doing a biopic, so there's gonna be somebody playing Patty.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Wow. Have you got anybody in mind?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I got loads of girls in mine, but I can't
tell you yet.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
But the first and foremost do they have to look
like you or.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Sound like Oh? No, more than anything. If they sound
like me. The look they can make, that make up
make me look like me. Who's oh my god, there's
so many Well I have a big mouth, well loud
singing voice. I don't know. Hush Laura you okay? Do
(23:11):
you have an idea of one person? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Oh yeah, okay, she's saying.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Yeah, but she did something for another artist, did she
or did she not?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I thought Jennifer Hutton too, but I feel like Jennifer, Yeah,
that and also too dream Girls as well. I feel
like you need someone who hasn't kind of taken on
that space of like telling someone's story so that we
can see them at you only.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
I have a lot in mine. I just really don't
know yet it's a lot in mine.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah, there was the there's a lot of stuff that
circulates from like Facebook to everywhere about you. They said
that you're serious. Was be like, it was sixteen episodes
and you were producing every single episode, And I was
in here asking people today, it was like, that is
not true.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Child. The stuff I've been reading about me, I said,
really at eighty one and a half, twins, twins, real babies, congratulations,
so many things like the homeless shelter.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
And the hospitalsp Yeah, they said that you were creating
a hospital for homeless people to get completely free services.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Of course it's true. No, none of that stuff is true.
Come on, Eliah, I did say it that AI is
the reason for all of this false stuff going around
about me. So when people read it, they call fifty times,
They'll call Kim. Is it true that Patty had twins?
Is it true that Patty is building a hospital. Is
(24:48):
it true that she's married? Is it true that she
has this going on? It's all AI and they're doing
it not just to Patty LaBelle, but to so many entertainers.
They're catching because so many people believe that and it's
just not true. And the sooner we get the word
out so people can stop doing this, having privileges to
(25:10):
just say anything about anybody, you know, it's it's not good.
Yeah in Twins at eighty one, that's Rosemary.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Baby, that did you sell?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Awful?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's awful. All the AI stuff is not. It's just disgusting.
And when people believe it's worse than that.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Did you what? Jamaine Dupre said. Jamain Dupre said that
AI singers should have their own chart, like their own
billboard for AI artists, their own platform for AI artists
and their own stuff. It shouldn't be mixed with regular artists.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
They just need to shoot AI uh where you know,
and ended it shouldn't be two, it shouldn't be AI
and then real.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
God, no, I know AI is like you know, a
part of the times, but for real like singer singers
like you who've always like your craft, like when people
talk about Patty LaBelle. It's like you can't get close
to her. Right when people have the argument of like
whether we should accept it or not, do you take
it as like a disrespect thing when people are saying,
(26:17):
yes you should because this is where things are going.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
You can't get around technology.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Yes, should I do well, I'd say that they should
keep going.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Or do you just take it as I said, shoot
it in the book I did.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
You can shoot it to kill it, saying it's awful,
it's a waste of time.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah, that killing I heard it.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
