Speaker 5 (02:06):
I had a procedure today and it did mess me up.
But messed me up was let me tell you something.
Fat habits, bad fat habits mess me up.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Okay, I didn't eat.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I didn't eat.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Because I had the blood, the blood drawn, and you
know what I did as soon as I got done,
I went to McDonald's. Yeah, I ate too much. Now
I feel terrible. I'm sorry, Yes, terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well what an introduction. Welcome to the Ellison and Mark podcast,
Married in Media. We are two gen X media pros
who happened to be married with three grown children. Here
we talk about everything for politics to pop culture, and
boy do we have a lot of pop culture today.
With a little bit of humor and a whole lot
of love. And I'm really sorry you don't feel well.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I liked it, baby, Like how you put that together?
You something else? A talent?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Baby's crap on me yesterday because you feel like I
was very touchy feely doing the workout. Yeah, but babe,
I just think what happens is you're so beautiful and
more than that, you're just a great wife and a
great friend.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
This reminds me of the Red Table talk when they
were talking about the Jada's entanglement and then and then
Will because I read Jada's book. Have y'all read Did
y'all read Jada's book when it was out? Because okay,
well I did, and you remember, but everybody remembers the
(03:34):
Red Table talk with the entanglement. Well turns out, thank you,
thank you. Well, well, it turns out that you know,
they had this open relationship and Will said, well, he
wanted to join her on the table to talk about this,
and he flipped it and basically was like became like
(03:55):
the victim when he knew everything that was going on
act and he was never a victim, so he never
said he never he never said yeah, we already knew this,
So that's what it seems like.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Now, Well, babe, no, it's not going that week because
we didn't have any entament.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
No, we didn't have any one time in Miami. I
forgave you, and so now we moved We've moved on.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
So babe, now Will Smith thing.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, so we have a lot like so we
weren't with you last week, and we also have a
health update for Mark while he was getting this blood work,
because you've been very transparent about your health journey, so
I want to talk about that. But yeah, we we
couldn't be with you. You had some things to do last week.
So I have a whole list. I kept sending you
(04:42):
topics like I want to talk about this that in
the third so you know, we love Martin Lawrence, Martin
and Will Smith coming out with Bad Boys sixteen four
and right, and then there was this press conference with
Martin Lawrence and it seemed like.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Something I forget about it.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah that's what you were talking about. No, no, no, I
just oh yeah, yeah and yeah, and so I did
watch it, did he stumble?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Libery was really slow and.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
People were concerned after they saw their frins conference because
they thought Mark struggling.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, and so I didn't.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Actually get to get to the struggle part. There was
a struggle part.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
He was just speaking very slowly, as if like he
was going through like some sort of a health challenge
or what have you.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
So it was I don't know what didn't tell us
exactly what his health challenge is because obviously to me,
he's bloated, he's it's it's something physical, but he's never really.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Talked about it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
But he made a whole movie.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Right, But I'm just saying I wonder why he just
never said, Hey, what happened for those who wanted to
want to know?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Because you know who doesn't have that at all is
damn Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
As far as his at his age, Eddie is sharp
as a tack.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
No, I think I think something must have happened. Yeah,
I don't know what it was, but maybe he was
just a hydride of that day because they were on
a tour.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
We're working when you're when you're famous, do you owe
it to the public to tell.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I think that when you're famous, oh weigh in family show.
When you're famous, if you're going to be in the
public eye and do press like he did. I think
that people love him so much, like who doesn't love
Martin Lawrence? Yeah, who doesn't love Martin Lawrence? And so
when you see it, you are kind of like, what's
going on? And does he owe us an explanation?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I mean not really not, Oh, I just think I would.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I mean, I'm we're kind of in the spotlight. I
kind of let people know because you know anything different. Oh,
by the way, I had that thought, hey Cookie about
uh we had that conversation about ozimpic. I think at
this point, if I took ozimpic right now, I probably
wouldn't say anything until I lost weight.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Okay, So we were talking about do you people come
after these celebrities because they lose all this weight and
they don't say anything, and then they're on. Then they
come out later and say, oh I was on and
you know this weight last talk, and then people get
mad do they have to? That's so that's a carryover
from two weeks Agomia love man.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Loving up on your baby, so little baby, not like
a red table talk.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I was just loving up on you because, as the
whole world knows, you're just you're a bomb ass chick. Allison,
let me tell you was giving love too, Boots. Well,
here's the thing, guys, Allison. We were doing bench press yesterday.
So Allison is if you know, she's she's fatite, she's
a little compact, little coke bottle.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
She's she's a shapefully young lady. And Babe was on.
Babe was on.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Oh, first of all, I maybe doesn't like it when
I she thinks I give creeper vibes when I kind
of when.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I kind of, hey, now you're doing red table, like
people are gonna be super sympathetic and make me feel
like I'm a jerk.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Anyway, anyway, what what so babe Babe on bootsy Babe
on the bench press, go ahead, Alison seymore on the
bench press, y'all with the bar for real, for real.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Kevin said, I just sound creepy. Thanks Kevin from Columbia.
You baby's on a bench press, y'all. And I was
just like fired up because she had the bar going us. Baby,
you know that's ninety that's forty five pounds handling it.
You're handling it, baby.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
That's forty five pounds.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Oh, I did not know that you have to be kidding.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, well, seymore strengths.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That's right. All right, let's talk with Carl. Carl with
the case.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Man, your time for us. You didn't know that, baby, Like, hey, y'all,
here's for a question on the street.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Carl.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
First of all, let me ask you this one of
one of the things I want to talk about later.
But are you how excited are you about the Negro
league stats being rolled into the MLB stats and these
these records?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Babe, go on like that. The baseball fans love baseball
so much, and look, as much as they love it,
they don't like to acknowledge achievements ro league baseball as
much as they love in Major League baseball. They don't
like to acknowledge that very few Major League baseball players
(09:13):
played in the Negro leagues with the black players and
could hold their own Namely, I think Dizzy Dean and
his brother It was a Dizzy and Dazzy was like
HD funny names, Disney and whatever, and then stand usual
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
He also did you wasn't that great? Though?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Those are the ones that wanted to play against the best.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
And all you got to do is think about it
right now, take out the black and Hispanic players and
put them in the league and see what's left. And
you can imagine the level of talent you're talking about
back in the day.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Definitely.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
So how excited were you about I was so excited
at work because we reported it on the show this morning.
And what I love about it is it just shows,
you know, it's little things like this that sort of
show the lens that was denied and you know, and
there's room for everybody. So move on over, babe Ruth,
and move on.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Here's something to make you think. Right. So, Satchel Page
was Rookie.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Of the Year at forty seven.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
They asked him a question like, what would you what
were you know? And if you were in your twenties,
what would happen? He was saying, basically, I'm basically if
I'm in my twenties, we should you should throw it
like at rabbits in the worlds. He basically said, back then,
they wouldn't even they wouldn't even. I just hit him
and they explode.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
He was basically, no, we don't condone animal.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Seven throwing heat. Imagine what he was throwing when he was.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Twenty exactly anyway, So I happen to see that level
it was I.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Thought, I thought it was I thought it was really great.
You know. But I also know, and I don't have
that part of the spectrum on my internet, but I
know there's some heads exploding this afterno this morning and.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Afternoon, and you know what, and it shouldn't be that way.
So as long as it's that way, I'm going to
be exuberant in my uh in the thought that these
players are getting there due Yeah, I say, says with us,
and she says, I said, on the board of a
nonprofit founded by seven living players from a Negro league.
That's pretty amazing and it's been rewarding experience, so great. Yeah, okay, Carl, you.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Have well today. First of all, thank you, welcome back,
and I'm glad that I'm glad to be back. I
missed you guys for a couple of weeks. My first
question is about your industry, the TV industry. TV executive
Channing Nicole Dungee became the first black American president of
(11:44):
a major broadcast television network when she was chosen to
be net She was chosen by what network, ABC, NBC,
or CBS she's the first black president.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I believe it was, you do.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I actually have no idea, So I'll say in ABC.
ABC was my first My first job out of college
was at the Washington Bureau of ABC News. And just
because just because I worked under Carol Simpson and that
reminds me of that name, I'm going to say, ABC.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Oh, you work with Carol Simpson?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
That was well, I work you know, what can I
get you, miss Simpson? That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Right, I I was. I grew up in Jersey and
that was like my first news anchor. You know, heart Throb,
did you ever meet her? Never met her?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
You met a beautiful person? A beautiful person? Okay, but
what's the answer?
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Let me see correct it was ABC. It was right
around the same time that Yeah, it was around the
same time that Roseanne made her little comment about the
woman in Obama's administration. She was the president of the
network at that time.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
So this is recent.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Oh yeah, she's currently I think chairwoman over at Warner
Brothers Television now.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
And the thing about let me tell you, the thing
about race is weird, especially with celebrities, is that these
moments happen and they get dragged.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But then you know Roseanne Barr, I've heard.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
So many black comedians talk about how she gave them
a shot. You know, she was in a time when
she was so powerful, you know. So it is interesting.
It's just it's a very complex thing, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
This race thing?
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Right? I mean, it's it's a situation where you can
be you can do a bunch of good, but that
one bad can one right take you down. All right,
let's go into the business world. True or false? This
is simple. True or false. In nineteen ninety one, B E. T.
Became the first black publicly traded company on the New
(13:52):
York Stock Exchange. Is that true or false?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Okay? It became the first black m hm oh okay.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Black public I say I'm gonna say. I'm gonna because
it's such a random fact, I'll say true.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I'm going to say.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Say true with me. Okay, we say true called fun answer?
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Final answer true? Yeah, okay, final answer is false?
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Dang.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
In nineteen sixty nine, more Parks Sausages, Mom, please, oh yeah. Yes.
In nineteen sixty nine, Henry Park's Technolic, which is public
the first black owned New York Stock Exchange. It took
and twenty years later is when b et happened.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I did not know that was it. St Louis?
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Was that Saint Louis, Baltimore, Baltimore, That's Baltimore. And that
was the funny thing. When I moved to Baltimore, Mark,
I did not know Park Sausages was black owned. I
grew up with that commercial, grew up eating it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Never knew that, which was amazing.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
And you know how, I guess we all strive for
a legacy. And mister Haysburg, always sharp, always kind.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
There's a there's an organization.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
It's a business organization that has since maybe turned taking
a turn for self to selfishness. I don't name the organization,
but he was a part of it. And here here
was a man who again was a part of American history,
was a titan in the business industry. And this young
man I met from ye see, who was a part
of that organization. He was saying, man, the only reason
(15:36):
I stayed And then when Ray pass I left was
Ray Haysburg because Ray Haysbert's goal of in these organizations.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I think, guys, we've seen this change. We saw this
change and a lot of things he.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Said, Ray Haysbort's goal was, I want to educate younger
people on how to do business properly and bring them
up right. The organization turned it into almost like I
got this, we got this, let's make money and keep it,
keep it with you know, let's keep let's keep the
money within ourselves. And basically, if your business didn't, you know,
(16:13):
generate blank million dollars, you couldn't be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
But I just love the fact that mister Haysburg, who
that was my impression and of him and.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
I didn't Yeah, I met him. He was definitely like that.
He was very like once wants everyone to achieve. He
wanted everybody to achieve.
Speaker 3 (16:28):

Dennis Haysburgh.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
No, I don't know that's possible. Yeah, I didn't think
he was.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
He looked more Washington.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Oh, we will not have that disrespect.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Last, but not least one more kind of business question.
But we had a lot of females and sports. We
don't talk about the women's sports owners. The co founder
of B E T Shila Johnson, is not one of
the owners of which of the following professional sports Is
it Capitals, Washington Capitals, the Washington Nationals, or the Washington Mystics.

going to be a star and it actually didn't turn
out that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Way for her. Huh.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Remind me of the first time I saw Mariah Carey,
which was that Jack the Rapper in person, The first
time I saw whitn.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
You Wow, you go way back.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Jacks Wrapper, the first time I saw Mariah Carey. What's
funny about music is so it was a Jack the Rapper.

R and B artist. He then morphed into a crossfold artist.
But I remember my friend, she was nineteen, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (19:57):

already rich anyway. But okay, thank you Carl.

I appreciate you. Have a wonderful day.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
You too.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You. Kevin said that was creepy. Look Kevin, look, Kevin,
you can't say creepy no more.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Okay, No, that was that was the old one. Oh yeah, okay,
So let's get into this. First of all, let's do
a follow up on your health journey, because man, it
has been a journey so far. So back in February,
I think it was February, right, Mark goes in for
feeling some numbness on his uh, in his legs and
(20:47):
all that. It lasted for a little bit too long,
so he said to go in. And the next thing
I know, you're on Facebook saying that you have a
diagnosis of MS. And I think it was so much
that it just held for you to just be like, well, y'all,
they say I have They say I have MS, And
I was just like what. And so you were hospitalized
(21:08):
for about first No, I knew, but I didn't know
if I was surprised to get you first call. Yeah,
I understand that and you are mine, but I just
and then the second call is to the Facebook community,
so I was like, okay, So we go through all
this and then you were waiting for so you kind
of have to have that second follow up to see
(21:30):
exactly what's going.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
On your dagoes in the emergency room. It's not really
like yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
So that was in February, sorry, twenty twenty three. And
then because you have to wait forever to get a
specialty appointment at Johns Hopkins, which is where you know
you wanted to go because they have the MS center there,
and you know, Johns Hopkins is thought of as the
gold standard and all that. So we waited. We just
(21:57):
had this follow up first appointment. Now, now some of
that was because we had to yeah, insurance and we
had change in insurance and all that, but ultimately we
just went So we're sitting there and marks again, all
these testing like they're doing like a strength you know,
can you push my hand and follow my and all
these different right, and I was like that seems weird,
(22:19):
but yeah, and then and then you asked the question,
so is.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
The diagnosis of MS confirmed.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
No, they say, no, it's not. It's something but so
we don't know exactly what it is yet, but it's
just it's just such a like as a roller coaster.
And you know, those of you who know people, it's
like everybody knows somebody that has MS. And so there
are these some flare ups is what they call them.
(22:48):
And you haven't had one, hadn't had one before, hadn't one,
had one since back in February. So you know, we're
thankful and hopeful that maybe it was not the correct diagnosis,
but right now we have to sit in the fact
that whatever. So that's so you've had to follow up bloodwork.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
And McDonald's just made me feel ilted.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
So now you've because you ate too much.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Too fast.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
So Brandy says, how did they test because I swear
have symptoms when I scared the test, Yeah, could be diabetic.
I was pre diabetic. I've been diagnosed as that be diabetic.
Then I was pre diabetic, and then I then I
was no longer diabetic after the weight loss surgery. It
was basically, but Brandy, it is that's the thing that's
the tricky part. So how they tested me was they
(23:36):
did three mr eyes and then a spinal tap and
they found so you're right, the neuropathy in the feet
is actually okay, okay, uh, the neuropathy in your feet, Brandy,
that is a symptom of diabetes, and it can be confused.
(23:57):
The thing that in the emergency room that then believe
it was, and that's was the lesions on my one
of my brain and one on my spinal cord.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
The lesions were the thing, I think the thing that's sold.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
So that's an mrin, Brandy. You have to do an
mrin to find that. So you know, I mean, you girl,
don't play with your health. Go and see what's going on.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
A bad spinal tap on I have my baby. Well,
you know, so interesting. That's the thing when you go
into these I was taught. I was talking to for
the day. I had a whole bunch of blood drawn,
a whole bunch. He said, I'm the second. I said,
this is the most you ever had to do. And
today he said, your second. Another person passed out.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
But he wants.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
To rule out everything, Brandy, because that's the thing, you know,
the neuropathy is a symptom of many things, could be anything.
The alesions also could be depending on and so that's
what he wanted to rule out. So I did a
lot of blood work today to find that out. Then
I'm doing another MRIs to see if there's been any
changes since the last time, because his concern was it
(25:00):
looked like the two lesions occurred at the same time,
indicating it could have been caused by something.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
So that's what he's looking for.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
My baby don't feel good, joah, he is that g
I check is kicking. I can tell. It feels indigestion,
like you have an acid reflecting my life. Okay, we're
gonna okay, but no so uh yeah, so we're waiting
to see So that's the second. Yeah, Brandy, you're somebody
(25:32):
said on I saw a post and it said nobody
rides for you like friends you've never met on social.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Media brand he said, maybe a small stroke you had.
Oh and Brandy, why did you say that like R
T D? You said it like Yoda. Maybe maybe a
small throake you had. Yeah, No, that's he was asking.
Was there anything that happened.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Interestingly, even like where you sit? Did you have a call?
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Brandy?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
That's a good call. I never thought about that interesting.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Okay, Well we'll find out and we'll keep you posted. Yeah,
leave it alone. Okay, So let's get into did you
have anything you want to talk about? Because I have
a list of things. When we were not with you
last week, man, that's when like all the Diddy stuff
broke that Cassie tape. This was two weeks ago, I think,
and you know all that, and I was, I was
(26:32):
so sickened to see that tape and uh to know
that uh Shawn Combs had basically said I'm tired of
y'all lying on me and this and that and then
and then the tape came out and you saw him
savagely beating uh Cassie. And then he comes back out
(26:52):
with this apology. And now, what I will say about
the apology is it felt like, you know, he was, yes,
sincerely sorry that he got caught and now you come
out and you whatever. But I felt like it was
the most transparent Sean comes that I've really ever seen.
Like he seemed like I have no doubt that he
(27:14):
is sorry, but he wasn't sorry when he said she
she's lying on me basically. But what did you think
about that whole fan? I just it actually made it
made me feel sick in my stomach, Like to imagine
that and then see the other pictures of her with
him on the red carpet and all that, and knowing
what she was going through and thinking about what so
(27:36):
many women are going through, well, it really made me.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Upon first viewing his apology, I felt I did feel like, oh,
that's probably the most sincere I've ever heard him sound.
But then Joe Butten pointed out he did not apologize
to his daughters, and he didn't apologize that he didn't
apologize to the women in his life.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
He said, that's a flag. I have to agree.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
And then Joe buten is ex girlfriend came out said,
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
You can't. You gotta be quiet.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
If you ever have a history of violence towards women,
you can't really be talking right now.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Don't comment, don't say nothing.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
But then so she came out against Joe Butten and
Joe Butden basically called her a liar right quick. So
it's just what they say was done in the dark.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And here's the thing about I'm out in the light.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Yeah, anytime anytime a man says disparaging things about a woman,
my flag always, my flag goes up for me because
I think I don't care what the experience was that.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I just I wasn't raised that way.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
So anytime I hear that and people like, we, what
does she do any that kind of conversation that that
right there says something to me, And I just think
that that's how I was raised. I was raised by powerful,
strong women who were respected. I never saw them be
disrespected by a man, And so that's how I lived
my life that well.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I just I feel like.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I just wonder what's to come. First, we saw that
raid of his home. I guess that's where the tape
came out, because allegedly he had paid fifty thousand dollars
for it to go away, and then it popped up again.
I guess he thought nobody was ever going to see it,
you know, And he said he was disgusted by it,
and he's disgusted it and so are we and so
are we. So somebody said, I think one of the
(29:27):
ladies on the view was like, I don't want to hear.
I don't want to see you. I don't want to like,
please just go away, get yourself together, or do whatever
you need to do.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
So, yeah, he's the latest. If we haven't checked in
on you know, this was in the Hollywood Reporter. This
is crazy, right going back to Howard, we basically apparently
hit him on with.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
A belt and this really I don't let me say this.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Sadly, being in the radio business, many of the mob
I don't have to name names, you guys know, insinuating
many of the moguls had terrible reputations back.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Then, and and you and we just let us slide.
I mean, Diddy is not the first, he won't be
the last.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
The terrible letter back then on how they treated their workers,
especially their women, and it was just shoot. Program directors
and radio had terrible reputation. It was a it was
a different world. I think TV was better than radio, right.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Well, they just said t TV you mean TV news. Yeah,
I think it was different. You're not trying to.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Yeah, I mean, you know, more corporate than radio.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
And surely those stories exist, but yeah, it didn't necessarily
seem to be like you know what time, you know
what you got to do to get your whatever it is.
So yeah, I think it was. I think it was different.
But I'm hoping that, uh, I'm hoping that one day
this can changed that it's not an accepted norm. Molly Ringwald,
(31:03):
who was an actor back in the day, like in
the eighties, all those films that we watched when we
were kids, like that's our generation, like The Breakfast Club
and all that, she just came out and said that, like,
you know, she was never you know, she was never
assaulted in a sexual way. Trigger right there, but that, yeah,
(31:23):
definitely she was like I was. I was street smart
and I was able to get out of different situations.
But definitely I had reeps all around me and this
is like, you know, one of yeah, and this is
one of America's you know, sweethearts. Back in the day.
It just seems so prevalent. And the sad part is
these these people are artists, you know what I mean.
These people are artists and they're trying to get into
(31:45):
a space that fame comes with it, and they're just
trying to in so many lives seem to have been,
you know, adversely affected by trying to get into the business.
She says she has a twenty year old daughter who
also wants to be an actor and against you know,
she's tried to say no, but this is what she
wants to do. So yeah, I hope that we can
see a day when when, you know, when this isn't
(32:09):
the accepted thing from usually sorry, but powerful men in
positions of influence to be able to put you on Okay, okay,
So another thing that I wanted to talk about speaking
let's flip it powerful women, flip it. So Lizough have
you seen this Lizzo story?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I got the video.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Okay, let let's well, okay, should I set it up
a little bit? So let me set it up. So
South Park, right, you know South Park?
Speaker 9 (32:35):
She uh?
Speaker 8 (32:37):
South?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
She was mentioned on South Park because they were talking
about something about ozempic right, and one of the characters
I Forget who basically said, don't worry forget ozempic, you
need to get on this Lizo drug and the Liz
and and they're a pretty brutal I mean, if they
parody you or whatever, you're just like, but basically.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
No, Kevin, that pepto lizokay.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
They said, right now, okay. So basically they were like,
get on this, Lizzo. It gives you, basically self confidence
that you don't care you're so You're so comfortable in
your body that you don't it doesn't matter if you are,
you know, lose weight or all this because you feel
so great in your skin. So here's her reaction having
(33:22):
seen the episode.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Guys, my worst fear has been actualized. I've been referenced
in a South Park episode. I'm so scared, I'm gonna
blind do it to it right now.
Speaker 11 (33:36):
Oh guys telling you Sheila, these new drugs are pretty amazing.
I was feeling so ashamed of myself watching Randy go
out and exercise all the time and not eating as much.
But I just don't have the same kind of willpower
he has.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Which are the drugs that you want? Sharon Oh, Sam
pick Manjoo oh no. I talked to my doctor.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
He said insurance would only pay for those if I
had diabetes. But if you can't afford them, then how
will you Maginia White? Don't you know, Sheila? Now there's
a whole new obesity drug for those of us who
can't afford o, Zempic and Manjaro. I controlled all my
cravings to be thinner with Lissos, it.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Says FDA approved.
Speaker 12 (34:15):
Lizzo makes you feel good about your weight, and it
costs ninety percent less little zimpic.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
I've blowed my standards and my expectations.
Speaker 12 (34:22):
It says in case studies, seventy percent of patients on
Lizto no longer cared how much they wait.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I don't give two shits.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Lizzo helps you eat everything you want and keep physical
activity to a minimum.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Some patients report constipation while listening to Lizzo.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Stop listening to Lizzo if you experience suicidal thoughts.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Serious side effects may include pancreatitis.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
It's hypodermy, fucking out.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Out your ears.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
God, are you living with concerns of obesity?
Speaker 11 (34:49):
Ask about the power of not giving a fuck with
Lizzos our next period.
Speaker 12 (34:56):
That's crazy. I just feel like, damn, I'm really that bitch.
I'm really that bitch. I really showed the world how
to love yourself and not give a fuck, to the
point where these men in Colorado know who the fuck
I am and put it on their cartoon that's been
around for twenty five years. I'm Lily that bitch, and
(35:18):
I'll show y'all how to not give a fuck. And
I'm gonna keep on showing you how to not.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Give a fuck.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
Oh oh, oh, Liz, bitch.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
We should We're sorry, we should have bleeped some of
that out. Yeah, now something okay, now listening to the
whole thing. Some of it. Of course, they're trying to
be funny. But the bottom line though, is like live
your life. She was happy with it. She was happy
with it because the ultimate message was, oh, doctor Long's
(35:50):
on here, wait a minute, lovel You know, it's just like, yeah,
I'm gonna live my life and I'm gonna be happy.
She was on the little carousel and all that. So
what did you guys think about that? I thought that
it was pretty I thought it was pretty powerful. You know,
there's some things like Okay, I don't care about this
and that, but they're trying to be funny. It's a parody,
(36:12):
the message being for yourself, for yourself, for yourself. Okay,
so uh oh, we should have done the little Girl before?
Should we not do that?
Speaker 9 (36:25):
Now?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I got her?
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Okay, it's kind of it's kind of heavy though.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
We didn't have well, we don't have all of it.
I mean, she cusses the little girl.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Test let's not show her. It's because it's so heavy.
It's basically, let's not show her. You want to talk
about it?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Do we need these ratings?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I'm you want to talk about it? Okay, Well, pardon
some of this language.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Well she doesn't cuss on this one.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
She just but but for me, what struck me is
and I should have put this in better order, the
producer and me should have put the show in a
different order. But yeah, her mom is being accused, I think,
falsely accused right of shoplifting, and the little girl she's
she's really like riding for her mom. But for me,
what really hurt me was all that pain and anger
(37:08):
that she is expressing. How did they hit you?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah? I guess it's almost like the kids. They pick
up how we act.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, so obviously she's been seeing this kind of this
her whole life.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
But also I think it speaks to like the world.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
I think sadly the kids are exposed to so much video,
so much of this, they see so much that they
can't help but be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
No, but so for me, it's not like so we're gonna,
we're gonna show to you just a little bit of
it in part in the language and this one too,
But so her mom is accused of shoplifting, and the
cops are there and somebody's recording it. And for me,
just her basically having to take on the role of
a grown woman. She's a little girl having to take
on the role of a grown woman, and the trauma
and you can see the anger and frustration at this moment.
(37:55):
So classes a great top and she had a double bag.
Speaker 13 (38:14):
The CV gave a description.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Of a female black classes. Did I stem, Mommy, I
know what it was, we're classes?
Speaker 12 (38:25):
Did I steal?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
There's not recording it.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Now usually not, so you can see you can see
just the level of the emotion. You know that that
she has to to grow up that fast, not a
baby at all, and she should be just a little girl.
(38:49):
But it's it's I don't know. I think it's just
a reality for a lot of young women in the
times that we're living. She was scared for her mom.
You could tell her mom was really holding back. But
clearly when they did this description of the shoplifter, like,
I haven't seen what happened the rest of it, but
(39:10):
it didn't sound like her at all.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Right, Yeah, in the year the descriptures to say it's
a black it's just like, man, yeah, it's like this world,
bo I tell you.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Yeah, it made me right. It hit me because I
think that our kids if that had happened, I think
they would have been more scared. They would But she is,
she's she's a little fighter. And here's my hope. My
hope is that she can channel all of that that
anger that was right there and that protective spirit. You know,
(39:41):
maybe she'll become like the next great uh lawyer, you know,
to to defend people who are that their civil rights
are being trampled on or whatever. Because she has a
lot of energy, and I hope that that I don't know,
it feels like trauma, and I hope that it can
be channeled in to something positive. Because because she's a
(40:03):
baby she's ten years old, she's a baby. How are
you feeling. I'm okay, I don't think. I don't think.
So let's do one more topic.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
We gotta do Lenny and Gael.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Y Yeah. It was so this package you can see
on the website.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
Gail gets a chance to talk to Lenny Cravits, who's
had an amazing career and this will all keep it
real this new album. I think we're in the same
age group. When we learned that Lisa Bonet was dating
this guy. Remember he had another name back then, like
Purple Blue Blue something, remember, no, And we were like.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Who's this loser? What you know, because it was like
she's dating an artist.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
To me, they were perfectly but it was like, who's
this perfectly matched? Back in the day, it was like, Okay,
Lisa bone this is your man. Yup.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
He turned out to be Lenny Gravits. So now the
kids towards sixty.
Speaker 9 (41:03):
When Lenny Kravitz walks in a room, you are the
epitome of cool.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
You are the epitome of.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Sexiness right off the top of it. And I'm wondering
if a.
Speaker 9 (41:13):
You're aware of the effect you have on people, or
is this something you have.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
To work at.
Speaker 8 (41:18):
I don't work on it at all.
Speaker 7 (41:19):
Are you aware of it?
Speaker 13 (41:20):
And I don't think about it, but I am aware
of people's reaction.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
Exactly from the outside looking in. It seems like for
a long time you've lived your life with no apologies,
live your life very authentically.
Speaker 13 (41:34):
I do, but I still have these moments. You know,
people look at you and think, oh, completely got it
going on, And he's confident in everything he does to
some degree. Yes, But then we all have our insecurities, Lenny.
Speaker 9 (41:50):
I would love for you to share with me what
is an insecurity you have personally and professionally, And I
also agree that we all have them, But I am
curious about what that means to you.
Speaker 13 (42:01):
Means a lot of things, But sometimes I'm just not
necessarily sure what it is that I'm doing. For some reason,
I'm still that sixteen year old kid trying to get
the record deal. Really, I haven't shed all of that.
My family hustled hard, my grandfather, my mother. I hustled hard.
I chose to leave home at an early.
Speaker 8 (42:20):
Age, hit the street teenager.
Speaker 13 (42:22):
Yes, so I still have a part of that person
inside of me.
Speaker 14 (42:29):
Kravitz often thinks about his roots.
Speaker 8 (42:38):
I grew up being a New York kid.
Speaker 13 (42:41):
I took the subway at a young age, walking with
your friends, taking cabs. My mom taught me to be
independent at a young age.
Speaker 14 (42:49):
His mom was actress Roxy Roker.
Speaker 9 (42:53):
Moving on now, dude, what do you think, lady when
you hear that theme song?
Speaker 8 (43:00):
I did you know the Thames? Absolutely that song brings
me so much joy.
Speaker 13 (43:06):
Every time I hear that song, it lifts me and
does it reminds me of being a kid, gone to
see my mom filming?
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Oh God, Tom, it feels so good to disagree with
him again.
Speaker 14 (43:18):
Before they moved to La Roker would send Kravitz to
an after school program at Harlem School of the Arts.
The school has since grown, but it began in this church.
Speaker 9 (43:28):
I can't believe your mom would let you get on
a bus from east Side to here.
Speaker 8 (43:32):
Mm hm. And you were not afraid, not at all.
Many I loved it. I loved coming up here.
Speaker 7 (43:39):
When you Kravitz coming through, I guess you got good news.
Speaker 8 (43:44):
Oh this is a trip.
Speaker 9 (43:47):
So you first learned to play guitar.
Speaker 7 (43:48):
In this room?
Speaker 3 (43:49):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (43:50):
Yes, think of that little boy.
Speaker 9 (43:52):
Now, what do you think about him now when you
look at because now you're considered one.
Speaker 7 (43:56):
Of the greats.
Speaker 9 (43:57):
Back then you were just a little boy learning the guitar.
Speaker 8 (44:00):
You know, I'm still learning, are you never stop?
Speaker 13 (44:03):
All I can do is really just feel how blessed
you are, you know, and how beautiful the journey has been.
Speaker 14 (44:15):
In many ways, a journey is just getting started. For
this rock star who turned sixty this weekend. He says
he's in the best shape and place he's ever been.
Speaker 9 (44:26):
As you said, here at sixty, do you have hangups
about that? Are you worried about it?
Speaker 8 (44:30):
Or I don't ship out on age? You don't all.
Speaker 13 (44:34):
I don't understand the concept. And for me, look, you
can be thirty years old and be destroyed, and you
can be ninety years old and be young and vibrant.
Speaker 9 (44:46):
I feel that too, because I'm sixty nine and people
said you shouldn't tell people your age. I don't want
to be hung up that. Oh my god, I can't
say it, Lenny. I'm so happy to be in the planet.
Speaker 8 (44:55):
I think it's more impressive.
Speaker 9 (44:56):
I don't know about that, but I just want to
I feel so happy to be on on the planet, healthy, healthy,
exactly healthy.
Speaker 8 (45:02):
So I was wondering if gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (45:04):
Well, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (45:06):
It takes a village.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
It takes a village.
Speaker 9 (45:09):
As you sit here turning sixteen, when you think about that,
do you feel I'm ready? Do you have that fortune
whatever the next chapter is in your life?
Speaker 13 (45:20):
Well, I have no choice, so you know what I mean? Like,
that's either you're here or you're not. Here's what's interesting. However,
this sounds I've never felt more yump.
Speaker 14 (45:33):
You said, let love rule asking for a friend?
Speaker 9 (45:36):
Is there love in your life? Now? Do you have
a significant other in your life? And can I beat
her ass if she is up?
Speaker 3 (45:43):
Said?
Speaker 4 (45:43):
I say that out loud. Do you have and I'm
non violentlydy gravitz?
Speaker 8 (45:49):
But do you have a partner? Do you have love?
Right now? I'm just open?
Speaker 9 (45:53):
Are you even looking?
Speaker 13 (45:54):
It's hard not to look. You know, when you desire something,
you know you're looking for it, right, But I find
that when you don't look is when you find it.
And I'm at a place where I've said this for
several years.
Speaker 8 (46:08):
I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I wasn't ready. I
thought I was ready, right, But now are you ready?
Speaker 13 (46:14):
I can say that I've never felt how I feel now.
Speaker 9 (46:18):
I'll just say this about you. You seem very comfortable
in your own skin at all times.
Speaker 13 (46:23):
I think that's a constant journey. But I feel great
when somebody says when did you feel like whatever? You know,
when did you feel your best? That I have to go, oh,
let me think, yeah, man, no today right now, that's.
Speaker 8 (46:39):
How I feel too.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Here's to us.
Speaker 5 (46:45):
Get a g Gail was serving those knees, how your knees?
Gil had a little boots on, You had her boots on, baby,
she was ready.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
So my main thing with all that, the thing that
hit me. Yeah, we love Lenny Rabbits and album is
really nice because you've played a couple of cuts for
me and I like the part that was cute for
me was when she was basically asking about the love
in his life and then we see like when I
think about Gail King, you know she's she's such a
(47:17):
journalist and she's so whatever. But she was like when
she was like, do you have a love in your life?
And can I beat her ass? That was hilarious to
me because it's so out of character. People, you know,
trip when it happens when I'm in circles and I'm
talking to people on this little tiny scale that I'm on,
and if I were to say something, and I usually
(47:37):
apologize if I you know, curse or say something like
ass or whatever. But it's it's funny because you don't
but you because you don't expect it.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
So funny.
Speaker 4 (47:47):
She was funny that day. So okay, okay, Brandy, Yeah,
sixty it's you know, the older that I get, the
more I do look at people in that that are
older than us, and I'm just okay, yeah, we can
do this another day. So she's six. Gale is sixty
nine years olds.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
Damn near seventies.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
An amazing thing, and so does Lenny. So h yeah,
I love that all right. The last thing that I
had to talk about today was this Alfonso how do
you say his last man? Roberto? Yeah, Alfonso Roberto was weird.
Did you guys see this? And what is the bad
beef between him and Tyler Ferry.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
So on X. Somebody said, now this is kind of
maybe we're just do you.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
Have the tweet?
Speaker 3 (48:31):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (48:31):
Oh, okay, okay, here okay.
Speaker 5 (48:33):
Somebody said, Tyler Perry needs to revamp Alfonso's career. I
just know he could. So the person who wrote it
thinking that's he's saying something.
Speaker 4 (48:43):
Because yeah, yeah, way too strong.
Speaker 5 (48:47):
Because I don't need or ever want that man to
do anything for me.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
Huh damn.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
So what are people saying about that comment?
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Well, you know some crazy world, what do you say?
Speaker 4 (49:03):
I don't know. Maybe they have some former dealings and
he was trying to hire him on the jeep or
say something, or maybe he feels like his movies or
whatever aren't up to the par with whatever he's into.
I don't know, but I was just like, what is
all what is all.
Speaker 3 (49:21):
This much into it?
Speaker 4 (49:23):
I don't I don't think so because I don't want.
Speaker 5 (49:26):
That man to do anything. I don't ever want that
man to do anything for me. Yeah, that's seems like
a lot.
Speaker 4 (49:33):
I just wonder what's what's going on? What's the story here,
what's going on? So yeah, those are just some of
the things that I was like, Oh, I can't wait
to talk about this.
Speaker 5 (49:43):
With my family here, the chat even comment, yeah, ain't
saying nothing.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
About the elfon whatever because we don't like it's so
random and weird. You don't know, right?
Speaker 3 (49:56):
Is that it bad? Look, let's.
Speaker 4 (50:06):
Okay, all right, Yeah that was you know what's funny?
Speaker 5 (50:09):
I know what's happening, and now know what's happening. I
asked the guy about.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
You know how you need to eat because you come on,
let's go get you something.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
No, no, no, it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
Let's get you some orange joes.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
So what happens? Yeah, he said, what happens? I ask
him about the vagel response like people passing out?
Speaker 4 (50:29):
Yeah, I would be on rock, but why like why
is the reaction so strong to go to social media?
And basically yeah, yeah, oh my god, yeah no, yeah,
he's so. It was a child star used tap dance cadd.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
He did it saying how dare you?
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Basically I guess, yeah, but what but you don't say, like, uh,
you know, Tyler pair is a great talent. I don't
think it's really my thing, and so I'm good without it.
But yeah, it sounds like something else. Actually I don't
know what it is. It's weird. I just I guess.
I just would never go on. He knows the whole
world is gonna see it, and it's just sort of
(51:11):
a strong response. So that's what struck me. I was like,
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (51:16):
Does anybody know.
Speaker 4 (51:18):
So all right, so what are we gonna do to
make you feel better today?
Speaker 3 (51:21):
Well, you just need to lay down, I think.
Speaker 5 (51:24):
So Brandon said, she's gonna do some digging and find
out to.
Speaker 3 (51:29):
You said, something happened a.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
D party's ugly? Okay, so and yes he is.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
So the guy I asked, so.
Speaker 4 (51:37):
You know, gave a lot of blood.
Speaker 3 (51:38):
He did a lot of Troy has.
Speaker 5 (51:40):
The Beagle response, the response passing out when you can
take your blood.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
And I was asking the guy about it.
Speaker 5 (51:47):
So he was explaining, I think that's kind of He
was saying that your sugar's low, the anxiety, the combination.
Speaker 3 (51:56):
Makes you react a certain.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Way and pass out some people and you had some
people can sleepy, so I think it's somewhere in there.
Speaker 4 (52:05):
Okay, Well, the.
Speaker 5 (52:08):
Amount of blood taken and then the bodies. Oh, he's saying. Basically,
he was saying, you're adrenaline. When you're adrenaline, it's cut off.
It makes you feel sleepy.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
Well, we're gonna figure out.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
I know you guys do not care about that.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
We're gonna we're gonna figure it out. I'm gonna take
care of and again y'all, So okay, We're sorry that
we were not around last week. We had so many
things to talk about. So I think I'm a monopolized the
conversation this week, but but so many amazing things. Of course,
in the real world, we're awaiting the the the jury
(52:49):
gets the Trump hush money trial. I think they said Friday,
they start to deliberate, they wrapped it all up. So
in the real world that's happening. That's that's a big
thing that's going on. And I don't know the question
has been asked of reporters when when we spoke with
these correspondents in New York. So what does this mean?
So ultimately, what happens if if Donald Trump is the
(53:11):
first former president to ever uh stand trial like a
criminal trial, and so what does it mean? I think
for the for the folks who who rock with Trump, regardless,
I don't think it's going to mean anything. And so
he's still and if he's still allowed to be the Republican,
the presumptive Republican nominee for president, he's still going to
(53:34):
be the Republican nominee and people are still going to
vote and it's still gonna come down to it. So meantime, meantime,
I think Biden's writing checks to folks, trying to you know,
writing checks. He's forgiving loan, college loan. That's he's trying
to do everything that he's He's opened some oil reserves
so that people could poll. Gas could be cheaper. He's
(53:56):
pulling out the stop so we'll see. The election is
in November. Vote but vote.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
Biden is paying for free cookouts.
Speaker 4 (54:03):
Yeah, he's speaking at uh.
Speaker 5 (54:04):
He said, I want to be invited to the cookout
Black Americans, so I'm paying for the cookouts.
Speaker 3 (54:08):
That's so take that idea, Joe.
Speaker 4 (54:10):
That's the biggest thing. Of course, this war and Godza
still rages on. It's just it's we're seeing more protests
around the world, so we understand big things are happening.
But this man is tired and we're gonna go. We're
gonna go and we'll see you next week. If there's
some things you want us to talk about, you know, space.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
And ask Allison's always around.
Speaker 4 (54:29):
Space and we can talk about it here, all right, y'all.
Speaker 3 (54:32):

Speaker 4 (02:00):
I missed you, god man.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, I am.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I had a procedure today and it did mess me up.
But messed me up was let me tell you something.
Fat habits, bad fat habits mess me up.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Okay, I didn't eat.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I didn't eat.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Because I had the blood, the blood drawn, and you
know what I did as soon as I got done,
I went to McDonald's. Yeah, I ate too much. Now
I feel terrible. I'm sorry, Yes, terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well what an introduction. Welcome to the Ellison and Mark podcast,
Married in Media. We are two gen X media pros
who happened to be married with three grown children. Here
we talk about everything for politics to pop culture, and
boy do we have a lot of pop culture today.
With a little bit of humor and a whole lot
of love. And I'm really sorry you don't feel well.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I liked it, baby, Like how you put that together?
You something else? A talent?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Baby's crap on me yesterday because you feel like I
was very touchy feely doing the workout. Yeah, but babe,
I just think what happens is you're so beautiful and
more than that, you're just a great wife and a
great friend.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
This reminds me of the Red Table talk when they
were talking about the Jada's entanglement and then and then
Will because I read Jada's book. Have y'all read Did
y'all read Jada's book when it was out? Because okay,
well I did, and you remember, but everybody remembers the
(03:34):
Red Table talk with the entanglement. Well turns out, thank you,
thank you. Well, well, it turns out that you know,
they had this open relationship and Will said, well, he
wanted to join her on the table to talk about this,
and he flipped it and basically was like became like
(03:55):
the victim when he knew everything that was going on
act and he was never a victim, so he never
said he never he never said yeah, we already knew this,
So that's what it seems like.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Now, Well, babe, no, it's not going that week because
we didn't have any entament.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
No, we didn't have any one time in Miami. I
forgave you, and so now we moved We've moved on.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
So babe, now Will Smith thing.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, so we have a lot like so we
weren't with you last week, and we also have a
health update for Mark while he was getting this blood work,
because you've been very transparent about your health journey, so
I want to talk about that. But yeah, we we
couldn't be with you. You had some things to do last week.
So I have a whole list. I kept sending you
(04:42):
topics like I want to talk about this that in
the third so you know, we love Martin Lawrence, Martin
and Will Smith coming out with Bad Boys sixteen four
and right, and then there was this press conference with
Martin Lawrence and it seemed like.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Something I forget about it.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah that's what you were talking about. No, no, no, I
just oh yeah, yeah and yeah, and so I did
watch it, did he stumble?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Libery was really slow and.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
People were concerned after they saw their frins conference because
they thought Mark struggling.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, and so I didn't.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Actually get to get to the struggle part. There was
a struggle part.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
He was just speaking very slowly, as if like he
was going through like some sort of a health challenge
or what have you.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
So it was I don't know what didn't tell us
exactly what his health challenge is because obviously to me,
he's bloated, he's it's it's something physical, but he's never really.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Talked about it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
But he made a whole movie.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Right, But I'm just saying I wonder why he just
never said, Hey, what happened for those who wanted to
want to know?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Because you know who doesn't have that at all is
damn Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
As far as his at his age, Eddie is sharp
as a tack.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
No, I think I think something must have happened. Yeah,
I don't know what it was, but maybe he was
just a hydride of that day because they were on
a tour.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
We're working when you're when you're famous, do you owe
it to the public to tell.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I think that when you're famous, oh weigh in family show.
When you're famous, if you're going to be in the
public eye and do press like he did. I think
that people love him so much, like who doesn't love
Martin Lawrence? Yeah, who doesn't love Martin Lawrence? And so
when you see it, you are kind of like, what's
going on? And does he owe us an explanation?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I mean not really not, Oh, I just think I would.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I mean, I'm we're kind of in the spotlight. I
kind of let people know because you know anything different. Oh,
by the way, I had that thought, hey Cookie about
uh we had that conversation about ozimpic. I think at
this point, if I took ozimpic right now, I probably
wouldn't say anything until I lost weight.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Okay, So we were talking about do you people come
after these celebrities because they lose all this weight and
they don't say anything, and then they're on. Then they
come out later and say, oh I was on and
you know this weight last talk, and then people get
mad do they have to? That's so that's a carryover
from two weeks Agomia love man.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Loving up on your baby, so little baby, not like
a red table talk.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I was just loving up on you because, as the
whole world knows, you're just you're a bomb ass chick. Allison,
let me tell you was giving love too, Boots. Well,
here's the thing, guys, Allison. We were doing bench press yesterday.
So Allison is if you know, she's she's fatite, she's
a little compact, little coke bottle.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
She's she's a shapefully young lady. And Babe was on.
Babe was on.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Oh, first of all, I maybe doesn't like it when
I she thinks I give creeper vibes when I kind
of when.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I kind of, hey, now you're doing red table, like
people are gonna be super sympathetic and make me feel
like I'm a jerk.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Anyway, anyway, what what so babe Babe on bootsy Babe
on the bench press, go ahead, Alison seymore on the
bench press, y'all with the bar for real, for real.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Kevin said, I just sound creepy. Thanks Kevin from Columbia.
You baby's on a bench press, y'all. And I was
just like fired up because she had the bar going us. Baby,
you know that's ninety that's forty five pounds handling it.
You're handling it, baby.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
That's forty five pounds.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Oh, I did not know that you have to be kidding.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, well, seymore strengths.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That's right. All right, let's talk with Carl. Carl with
the case.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Man, your time for us. You didn't know that, baby, Like, hey, y'all,
here's for a question on the street.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Carl.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
First of all, let me ask you this one of
one of the things I want to talk about later.
But are you how excited are you about the Negro
league stats being rolled into the MLB stats and these
these records?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Babe, go on like that. The baseball fans love baseball
so much, and look, as much as they love it,
they don't like to acknowledge achievements ro league baseball as
much as they love in Major League baseball. They don't
like to acknowledge that very few Major League baseball players
(09:13):
played in the Negro leagues with the black players and
could hold their own Namely, I think Dizzy Dean and
his brother It was a Dizzy and Dazzy was like
HD funny names, Disney and whatever, and then stand usual
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
He also did you wasn't that great? Though?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Those are the ones that wanted to play against the best.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
And all you got to do is think about it
right now, take out the black and Hispanic players and
put them in the league and see what's left. And
you can imagine the level of talent you're talking about
back in the day.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Definitely.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
So how excited were you about I was so excited
at work because we reported it on the show this morning.
And what I love about it is it just shows,
you know, it's little things like this that sort of
show the lens that was denied and you know, and
there's room for everybody. So move on over, babe Ruth,
and move on.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Here's something to make you think. Right. So, Satchel Page
was Rookie.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Of the Year at forty seven.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
They asked him a question like, what would you what
were you know? And if you were in your twenties,
what would happen? He was saying, basically, I'm basically if
I'm in my twenties, we should you should throw it
like at rabbits in the worlds. He basically said, back then,
they wouldn't even they wouldn't even. I just hit him
and they explode.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
He was basically, no, we don't condone animal.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Seven throwing heat. Imagine what he was throwing when he was.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Twenty exactly anyway, So I happen to see that level
it was I.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Thought, I thought it was I thought it was really great.
You know. But I also know, and I don't have
that part of the spectrum on my internet, but I
know there's some heads exploding this afterno this morning and.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Afternoon, and you know what, and it shouldn't be that way.
So as long as it's that way, I'm going to
be exuberant in my uh in the thought that these
players are getting there due Yeah, I say, says with us,
and she says, I said, on the board of a
nonprofit founded by seven living players from a Negro league.
That's pretty amazing and it's been rewarding experience, so great. Yeah, okay, Carl, you.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Have well today. First of all, thank you, welcome back,
and I'm glad that I'm glad to be back. I
missed you guys for a couple of weeks. My first
question is about your industry, the TV industry. TV executive
Channing Nicole Dungee became the first black American president of
(11:44):
a major broadcast television network when she was chosen to
be net She was chosen by what network, ABC, NBC,
or CBS she's the first black president.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I believe it was, you do.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I actually have no idea, So I'll say in ABC.
ABC was my first My first job out of college
was at the Washington Bureau of ABC News. And just
because just because I worked under Carol Simpson and that
reminds me of that name, I'm going to say, ABC.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Oh, you work with Carol Simpson?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
That was well, I work you know, what can I
get you, miss Simpson? That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Right, I I was. I grew up in Jersey and
that was like my first news anchor. You know, heart Throb,
did you ever meet her? Never met her?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
You met a beautiful person? A beautiful person? Okay, but
what's the answer?
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Let me see correct it was ABC. It was right
around the same time that Yeah, it was around the
same time that Roseanne made her little comment about the
woman in Obama's administration. She was the president of the
network at that time.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
So this is recent.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Oh yeah, she's currently I think chairwoman over at Warner
Brothers Television now.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
And the thing about let me tell you, the thing
about race is weird, especially with celebrities, is that these
moments happen and they get dragged.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But then you know Roseanne Barr, I've heard.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
So many black comedians talk about how she gave them
a shot. You know, she was in a time when
she was so powerful, you know. So it is interesting.
It's just it's a very complex thing, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
This race thing?
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Right? I mean, it's it's a situation where you can
be you can do a bunch of good, but that
one bad can one right take you down. All right,
let's go into the business world. True or false? This
is simple. True or false. In nineteen ninety one, B E. T.
Became the first black publicly traded company on the New
(13:52):
York Stock Exchange. Is that true or false?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Okay? It became the first black m hm oh okay.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Black public I say I'm gonna say. I'm gonna because
it's such a random fact, I'll say true.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I'm going to say.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Say true with me. Okay, we say true called fun answer?
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Final answer true? Yeah, okay, final answer is false?
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Dang.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
In nineteen sixty nine, more Parks Sausages, Mom, please, oh yeah. Yes.
In nineteen sixty nine, Henry Park's Technolic, which is public
the first black owned New York Stock Exchange. It took
and twenty years later is when b et happened.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I did not know that was it. St Louis?
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Was that Saint Louis, Baltimore, Baltimore, That's Baltimore. And that
was the funny thing. When I moved to Baltimore, Mark,
I did not know Park Sausages was black owned. I
grew up with that commercial, grew up eating it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Never knew that, which was amazing.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
And you know how, I guess we all strive for
a legacy. And mister Haysburg, always sharp, always kind.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
There's a there's an organization.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
It's a business organization that has since maybe turned taking
a turn for self to selfishness. I don't name the organization,
but he was a part of it. And here here
was a man who again was a part of American history,
was a titan in the business industry. And this young
man I met from ye see, who was a part
of that organization. He was saying, man, the only reason
(15:36):
I stayed And then when Ray pass I left was
Ray Haysburg because Ray Haysbert's goal of in these organizations.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I think, guys, we've seen this change. We saw this
change and a lot of things he.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Said, Ray Haysbort's goal was, I want to educate younger
people on how to do business properly and bring them
up right. The organization turned it into almost like I
got this, we got this, let's make money and keep it,
keep it with you know, let's keep let's keep the
money within ourselves. And basically, if your business didn't, you know,
(16:13):
generate blank million dollars, you couldn't be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
But I just love the fact that mister Haysburg, who
that was my impression and of him and.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
I didn't Yeah, I met him. He was definitely like that.
He was very like once wants everyone to achieve. He
wanted everybody to achieve.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Look at ce Cel smart.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Johnson product came after Sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Sorry, oh we chaired by Johnson's.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Okay, go ahead see him.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
He related to uh Gentel Washington Junior. They all stay man,
Dennis Haysburgh.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
No, I don't know that's possible. Yeah, I didn't think
he was.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
He looked more Washington.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Oh, we will not have that disrespect.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Last, but not least one more kind of business question.
But we had a lot of females and sports. We
don't talk about the women's sports owners. The co founder
of B E T Shila Johnson, is not one of
the owners of which of the following professional sports Is
it Capitals, Washington Capitals, the Washington Nationals, or the Washington Mystics.
(17:24):
She owns two out of those three.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah, she is not a part of the Capitals.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm gonna have to rock with my girlfriend.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Oh man, I'm so I'm so disappointed. She is not
a owner of the baseball team, the national Really of
the Capitals, the Mystics, and the Wizards.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Brandy got it right, Hey, Brandy Marie.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
He is part owner of the Capitals, the Wizards, and
the Mystics. So she has uh, she has a Stanley
Cup ring. She has the Washington Mystics ring. I don't
think the Wizards have won the champion. Yeah, so I
don't think she has a ring from.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Them yet, not yet, not yet.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
You know, dreams can happen next season, next for the Wizards.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, Brandy's like, I know my national that's right. Randy's
a breaking Nats fans.
Speaker 3 (18:15):

(18:43):
behind the scenes, in front of the camera and so forth.
Speaker 5 (18:45):

of movies, I think a movie that's.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Underrated is the the movie with Big Boy.
Speaker 5 (18:56):

something rated.

I think paul Pat's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
In that movie.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Reminded me of the first time you see somebody that's
going to be a star and it actually didn't turn
out that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Way for her. Huh.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Remind me of the first time I saw Mariah Carey,
which was that Jack the Rapper in person, The first
time I saw whitn.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
You Wow, you go way back.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Jacks Wrapper, the first time I saw Mariah Carey. What's
funny about music is so it was a Jack the Rapper.
Ria Carrey was unveiled as a R and B black
R and B artist. He then morphed into a crossfold artist.
But I remember my friend, she was nineteen, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Wow? And the Tola was in his forties.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, my friend was like when I think of him,
he was like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
About to be rich. He was already rich. He was
already rich anyway. But okay, thank you Carl.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
The Friday Friday.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
I appreciate you. Have a wonderful day.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
You too.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You. Kevin said that was creepy. Look Kevin, look, Kevin,
you can't say creepy no more.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Okay, No, that was that was the old one. Oh yeah, okay,
So let's get into this. First of all, let's do
a follow up on your health journey, because man, it
has been a journey so far. So back in February,
I think it was February, right, Mark goes in for
feeling some numbness on his uh, in his legs and
(20:47):
all that. It lasted for a little bit too long,
so he said to go in. And the next thing
I know, you're on Facebook saying that you have a
diagnosis of MS. And I think it was so much
that it just held for you to just be like, well, y'all,
they say I have They say I have MS, And
I was just like what. And so you were hospitalized
(21:08):
for about first No, I knew, but I didn't know
if I was surprised to get you first call. Yeah,
I understand that and you are mine, but I just
and then the second call is to the Facebook community,
so I was like, okay, So we go through all
this and then you were waiting for so you kind
of have to have that second follow up to see
(21:30):
exactly what's going.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
On your dagoes in the emergency room. It's not really
like yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
So that was in February, sorry, twenty twenty three. And
then because you have to wait forever to get a
specialty appointment at Johns Hopkins, which is where you know
you wanted to go because they have the MS center there,
and you know, Johns Hopkins is thought of as the
gold standard and all that. So we waited. We just
(21:57):
had this follow up first appointment. Now, now some of
that was because we had to yeah, insurance and we
had change in insurance and all that, but ultimately we
just went So we're sitting there and marks again, all
these testing like they're doing like a strength you know,
can you push my hand and follow my and all
these different right, and I was like that seems weird,
(22:19):
but yeah, and then and then you asked the question,
so is.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
The diagnosis of MS confirmed.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
No, they say, no, it's not. It's something but so
we don't know exactly what it is yet, but it's
just it's just such a like as a roller coaster.
And you know, those of you who know people, it's
like everybody knows somebody that has MS. And so there
are these some flare ups is what they call them.
(22:48):
And you haven't had one, hadn't had one before, hadn't one,
had one since back in February. So you know, we're
thankful and hopeful that maybe it was not the correct diagnosis,
but right now we have to sit in the fact
that whatever. So that's so you've had to follow up bloodwork.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
And McDonald's just made me feel ilted.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
So now you've because you ate too much.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Too fast.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
So Brandy says, how did they test because I swear
have symptoms when I scared the test, Yeah, could be diabetic.
I was pre diabetic. I've been diagnosed as that be diabetic.
Then I was pre diabetic, and then I then I
was no longer diabetic after the weight loss surgery. It
was basically, but Brandy, it is that's the thing that's
the tricky part. So how they tested me was they
(23:36):
did three mr eyes and then a spinal tap and
they found so you're right, the neuropathy in the feet
is actually okay, okay, uh, the neuropathy in your feet, Brandy,
that is a symptom of diabetes, and it can be confused.
(23:57):
The thing that in the emergency room that then believe
it was, and that's was the lesions on my one
of my brain and one on my spinal cord.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
The lesions were the thing, I think the thing that's sold.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
So that's an mrin, Brandy. You have to do an
mrin to find that. So you know, I mean, you girl,
don't play with your health. Go and see what's going on.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
A bad spinal tap on I have my baby. Well,
you know, so interesting. That's the thing when you go
into these I was taught. I was talking to for
the day. I had a whole bunch of blood drawn,
a whole bunch. He said, I'm the second. I said,
this is the most you ever had to do. And
today he said, your second. Another person passed out.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
But he wants.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
To rule out everything, Brandy, because that's the thing, you know,
the neuropathy is a symptom of many things, could be anything.
The alesions also could be depending on and so that's
what he wanted to rule out. So I did a
lot of blood work today to find that out. Then
I'm doing another MRIs to see if there's been any
changes since the last time, because his concern was it
(25:00):
looked like the two lesions occurred at the same time,
indicating it could have been caused by something.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
So that's what he's looking for.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
My baby don't feel good, joah, he is that g
I check is kicking. I can tell. It feels indigestion,
like you have an acid reflecting my life. Okay, we're
gonna okay, but no so uh yeah, so we're waiting
to see So that's the second. Yeah, Brandy, you're somebody
(25:32):
said on I saw a post and it said nobody
rides for you like friends you've never met on social.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Media brand he said, maybe a small stroke you had.
Oh and Brandy, why did you say that like R
T D? You said it like Yoda. Maybe maybe a
small throake you had. Yeah, No, that's he was asking.
Was there anything that happened.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Interestingly, even like where you sit? Did you have a call?
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Brandy?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
That's a good call. I never thought about that interesting.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Okay, Well we'll find out and we'll keep you posted. Yeah,
leave it alone. Okay, So let's get into did you
have anything you want to talk about? Because I have
a list of things. When we were not with you
last week, man, that's when like all the Diddy stuff
broke that Cassie tape. This was two weeks ago, I think,
and you know all that, and I was, I was
(26:32):
so sickened to see that tape and uh to know
that uh Shawn Combs had basically said I'm tired of
y'all lying on me and this and that and then
and then the tape came out and you saw him
savagely beating uh Cassie. And then he comes back out
(26:52):
with this apology. And now, what I will say about
the apology is it felt like, you know, he was, yes,
sincerely sorry that he got caught and now you come
out and you whatever. But I felt like it was
the most transparent Sean comes that I've really ever seen.
Like he seemed like I have no doubt that he
(27:14):
is sorry, but he wasn't sorry when he said she
she's lying on me basically. But what did you think
about that whole fan? I just it actually made it
made me feel sick in my stomach, Like to imagine
that and then see the other pictures of her with
him on the red carpet and all that, and knowing
what she was going through and thinking about what so
(27:36):
many women are going through, well, it really made me.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Upon first viewing his apology, I felt I did feel like, oh,
that's probably the most sincere I've ever heard him sound.
But then Joe Butten pointed out he did not apologize
to his daughters, and he didn't apologize that he didn't
apologize to the women in his life.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
He said, that's a flag. I have to agree.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
And then Joe buten is ex girlfriend came out said,
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
You can't. You gotta be quiet.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
If you ever have a history of violence towards women,
you can't really be talking right now.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Don't comment, don't say nothing.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
But then so she came out against Joe Butten and
Joe Butden basically called her a liar right quick. So
it's just what they say was done in the dark.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And here's the thing about I'm out in the light.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Yeah, anytime anytime a man says disparaging things about a woman,
my flag always, my flag goes up for me because
I think I don't care what the experience was that.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I just I wasn't raised that way.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
So anytime I hear that and people like, we, what
does she do any that kind of conversation that that
right there says something to me, And I just think
that that's how I was raised. I was raised by powerful,
strong women who were respected. I never saw them be
disrespected by a man, And so that's how I lived
my life that well.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I just I feel like.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I just wonder what's to come. First, we saw that
raid of his home. I guess that's where the tape
came out, because allegedly he had paid fifty thousand dollars
for it to go away, and then it popped up again.
I guess he thought nobody was ever going to see it,
you know, And he said he was disgusted by it,
and he's disgusted it and so are we and so
are we. So somebody said, I think one of the
(29:27):
ladies on the view was like, I don't want to hear.
I don't want to see you. I don't want to like,
please just go away, get yourself together, or do whatever
you need to do.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
So, yeah, he's the latest. If we haven't checked in
on you know, this was in the Hollywood Reporter. This
is crazy, right going back to Howard, we basically apparently
hit him on with.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
A belt and this really I don't let me say this.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Sadly, being in the radio business, many of the mob
I don't have to name names, you guys know, insinuating
many of the moguls had terrible reputations back.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Then, and and you and we just let us slide.
I mean, Diddy is not the first, he won't be
the last.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
The terrible letter back then on how they treated their workers,
especially their women, and it was just shoot. Program directors
and radio had terrible reputation. It was a it was
a different world. I think TV was better than radio, right.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Well, they just said t TV you mean TV news. Yeah,
I think it was different. You're not trying to.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Yeah, I mean, you know, more corporate than radio.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
And surely those stories exist, but yeah, it didn't necessarily
seem to be like you know what time, you know
what you got to do to get your whatever it is.
So yeah, I think it was. I think it was different.
But I'm hoping that, uh, I'm hoping that one day
this can changed that it's not an accepted norm. Molly Ringwald,
(31:03):
who was an actor back in the day, like in
the eighties, all those films that we watched when we
were kids, like that's our generation, like The Breakfast Club
and all that, she just came out and said that, like,
you know, she was never you know, she was never
assaulted in a sexual way. Trigger right there, but that, yeah,
(31:23):
definitely she was like I was. I was street smart
and I was able to get out of different situations.
But definitely I had reeps all around me and this
is like, you know, one of yeah, and this is
one of America's you know, sweethearts. Back in the day.
It just seems so prevalent. And the sad part is
these these people are artists, you know what I mean.
These people are artists and they're trying to get into
(31:45):
a space that fame comes with it, and they're just
trying to in so many lives seem to have been,
you know, adversely affected by trying to get into the business.
She says she has a twenty year old daughter who
also wants to be an actor and against you know,
she's tried to say no, but this is what she
wants to do. So yeah, I hope that we can
see a day when when, you know, when this isn't
(32:09):
the accepted thing from usually sorry, but powerful men in
positions of influence to be able to put you on Okay, okay,
So another thing that I wanted to talk about speaking
let's flip it powerful women, flip it. So Lizough have
you seen this Lizzo story?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I got the video.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Okay, let let's well, okay, should I set it up
a little bit? So let me set it up. So
South Park, right, you know South Park?
Speaker 9 (32:35):
She uh?
Speaker 8 (32:37):
South?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
She was mentioned on South Park because they were talking
about something about ozempic right, and one of the characters
I Forget who basically said, don't worry forget ozempic, you
need to get on this Lizo drug and the Liz
and and they're a pretty brutal I mean, if they
parody you or whatever, you're just like, but basically.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
No, Kevin, that pepto lizokay.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
They said, right now, okay. So basically they were like,
get on this, Lizzo. It gives you, basically self confidence
that you don't care you're so You're so comfortable in
your body that you don't it doesn't matter if you are,
you know, lose weight or all this because you feel
so great in your skin. So here's her reaction having
(33:22):
seen the episode.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Guys, my worst fear has been actualized. I've been referenced
in a South Park episode. I'm so scared, I'm gonna
blind do it to it right now.
Speaker 11 (33:36):
Oh guys telling you Sheila, these new drugs are pretty amazing.
I was feeling so ashamed of myself watching Randy go
out and exercise all the time and not eating as much.
But I just don't have the same kind of willpower
he has.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Which are the drugs that you want? Sharon Oh, Sam
pick Manjoo oh no. I talked to my doctor.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
He said insurance would only pay for those if I
had diabetes. But if you can't afford them, then how
will you Maginia White? Don't you know, Sheila? Now there's
a whole new obesity drug for those of us who
can't afford o, Zempic and Manjaro. I controlled all my
cravings to be thinner with Lissos, it.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Says FDA approved.
Speaker 12 (34:15):
Lizzo makes you feel good about your weight, and it
costs ninety percent less little zimpic.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
I've blowed my standards and my expectations.
Speaker 12 (34:22):
It says in case studies, seventy percent of patients on
Lizto no longer cared how much they wait.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I don't give two shits.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Lizzo helps you eat everything you want and keep physical
activity to a minimum.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Some patients report constipation while listening to Lizzo.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Stop listening to Lizzo if you experience suicidal thoughts.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Serious side effects may include pancreatitis.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
It's hypodermy, fucking out.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Out your ears.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
God, are you living with concerns of obesity?
Speaker 11 (34:49):
Ask about the power of not giving a fuck with
Lizzos our next period.
Speaker 12 (34:56):
That's crazy. I just feel like, damn, I'm really that bitch.
I'm really that bitch. I really showed the world how
to love yourself and not give a fuck, to the
point where these men in Colorado know who the fuck
I am and put it on their cartoon that's been
around for twenty five years. I'm Lily that bitch, and
(35:18):
I'll show y'all how to not give a fuck. And
I'm gonna keep on showing you how to not.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Give a fuck.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
Oh oh, oh, Liz, bitch.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
We should We're sorry, we should have bleeped some of
that out. Yeah, now something okay, now listening to the
whole thing. Some of it. Of course, they're trying to
be funny. But the bottom line though, is like live
your life. She was happy with it. She was happy
with it because the ultimate message was, oh, doctor Long's
(35:50):
on here, wait a minute, lovel You know, it's just like, yeah,
I'm gonna live my life and I'm gonna be happy.
She was on the little carousel and all that. So
what did you guys think about that? I thought that
it was pretty I thought it was pretty powerful. You know,
there's some things like Okay, I don't care about this
and that, but they're trying to be funny. It's a parody,
(36:12):
the message being for yourself, for yourself, for yourself. Okay,
so uh oh, we should have done the little Girl before?
Should we not do that?
Speaker 9 (36:25):
Now?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I got her?
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Okay, it's kind of it's kind of heavy though.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
We didn't have well, we don't have all of it.
I mean, she cusses the little girl.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Test let's not show her. It's because it's so heavy.
It's basically, let's not show her. You want to talk
about it?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Do we need these ratings?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I'm you want to talk about it? Okay, Well, pardon
some of this language.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Well she doesn't cuss on this one.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
She just but but for me, what struck me is
and I should have put this in better order, the
producer and me should have put the show in a
different order. But yeah, her mom is being accused, I think,
falsely accused right of shoplifting, and the little girl she's
she's really like riding for her mom. But for me,
what really hurt me was all that pain and anger
(37:08):
that she is expressing. How did they hit you?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah? I guess it's almost like the kids. They pick
up how we act.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, so obviously she's been seeing this kind of this
her whole life.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
But also I think it speaks to like the world.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
I think sadly the kids are exposed to so much video,
so much of this, they see so much that they
can't help but be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
No, but so for me, it's not like so we're gonna,
we're gonna show to you just a little bit of
it in part in the language and this one too,
But so her mom is accused of shoplifting, and the
cops are there and somebody's recording it. And for me,
just her basically having to take on the role of
a grown woman. She's a little girl having to take
on the role of a grown woman, and the trauma
and you can see the anger and frustration at this moment.
(37:55):
So classes a great top and she had a double bag.
Speaker 13 (38:14):
The CV gave a description.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Of a female black classes. Did I stem, Mommy, I
know what it was, we're classes?
Speaker 12 (38:25):
Did I steal?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
There's not recording it.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Now usually not, so you can see you can see
just the level of the emotion. You know that that
she has to to grow up that fast, not a
baby at all, and she should be just a little girl.
(38:49):
But it's it's I don't know. I think it's just
a reality for a lot of young women in the
times that we're living. She was scared for her mom.
You could tell her mom was really holding back. But
clearly when they did this description of the shoplifter, like,
I haven't seen what happened the rest of it, but
(39:10):
it didn't sound like her at all.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Right, Yeah, in the year the descriptures to say it's
a black it's just like, man, yeah, it's like this world,
bo I tell you.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Yeah, it made me right. It hit me because I
think that our kids if that had happened, I think
they would have been more scared. They would But she is,
she's she's a little fighter. And here's my hope. My
hope is that she can channel all of that that
anger that was right there and that protective spirit. You know,
(39:41):
maybe she'll become like the next great uh lawyer, you know,
to to defend people who are that their civil rights
are being trampled on or whatever. Because she has a
lot of energy, and I hope that that I don't know,
it feels like trauma, and I hope that it can
be channeled in to something positive. Because because she's a
(40:03):
baby she's ten years old, she's a baby. How are
you feeling. I'm okay, I don't think. I don't think.
So let's do one more topic.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
We gotta do Lenny and Gael.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Y Yeah. It was so this package you can see
on the website.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
Gail gets a chance to talk to Lenny Cravits, who's
had an amazing career and this will all keep it
real this new album. I think we're in the same
age group. When we learned that Lisa Bonet was dating
this guy. Remember he had another name back then, like
Purple Blue Blue something, remember, no, And we were like.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Who's this loser? What you know, because it was like
she's dating an artist.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
To me, they were perfectly but it was like, who's
this perfectly matched? Back in the day, it was like, Okay,
Lisa bone this is your man. Yup.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
He turned out to be Lenny Gravits. So now the
kids towards sixty.
Speaker 9 (41:03):
When Lenny Kravitz walks in a room, you are the
epitome of cool.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
You are the epitome of.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Sexiness right off the top of it. And I'm wondering
if a.
Speaker 9 (41:13):
You're aware of the effect you have on people, or
is this something you have.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
To work at.
Speaker 8 (41:18):
I don't work on it at all.
Speaker 7 (41:19):
Are you aware of it?
Speaker 13 (41:20):
And I don't think about it, but I am aware
of people's reaction.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
Exactly from the outside looking in. It seems like for
a long time you've lived your life with no apologies,
live your life very authentically.
Speaker 13 (41:34):
I do, but I still have these moments. You know,
people look at you and think, oh, completely got it
going on, And he's confident in everything he does to
some degree. Yes, But then we all have our insecurities, Lenny.
Speaker 9 (41:50):
I would love for you to share with me what
is an insecurity you have personally and professionally, And I
also agree that we all have them, But I am
curious about what that means to you.
Speaker 13 (42:01):
Means a lot of things, But sometimes I'm just not
necessarily sure what it is that I'm doing. For some reason,
I'm still that sixteen year old kid trying to get
the record deal. Really, I haven't shed all of that.
My family hustled hard, my grandfather, my mother. I hustled hard.
I chose to leave home at an early.
Speaker 8 (42:20):
Age, hit the street teenager.
Speaker 13 (42:22):
Yes, so I still have a part of that person
inside of me.
Speaker 14 (42:29):
Kravitz often thinks about his roots.
Speaker 8 (42:38):
I grew up being a New York kid.
Speaker 13 (42:41):
I took the subway at a young age, walking with
your friends, taking cabs. My mom taught me to be
independent at a young age.
Speaker 14 (42:49):
His mom was actress Roxy Roker.
Speaker 9 (42:53):
Moving on now, dude, what do you think, lady when
you hear that theme song?
Speaker 8 (43:00):
I did you know the Thames? Absolutely that song brings
me so much joy.
Speaker 13 (43:06):
Every time I hear that song, it lifts me and
does it reminds me of being a kid, gone to
see my mom filming?
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Oh God, Tom, it feels so good to disagree with
him again.
Speaker 14 (43:18):
Before they moved to La Roker would send Kravitz to
an after school program at Harlem School of the Arts.
The school has since grown, but it began in this church.
Speaker 9 (43:28):
I can't believe your mom would let you get on
a bus from east Side to here.
Speaker 8 (43:32):
Mm hm. And you were not afraid, not at all.
Many I loved it. I loved coming up here.
Speaker 7 (43:39):
When you Kravitz coming through, I guess you got good news.
Speaker 8 (43:44):
Oh this is a trip.
Speaker 9 (43:47):
So you first learned to play guitar.
Speaker 7 (43:48):
In this room?
Speaker 3 (43:49):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (43:50):
Yes, think of that little boy.
Speaker 9 (43:52):
Now, what do you think about him now when you
look at because now you're considered one.
Speaker 7 (43:56):
Of the greats.
Speaker 9 (43:57):
Back then you were just a little boy learning the guitar.
Speaker 8 (44:00):
You know, I'm still learning, are you never stop?
Speaker 13 (44:03):
All I can do is really just feel how blessed
you are, you know, and how beautiful the journey has been.
Speaker 14 (44:15):
In many ways, a journey is just getting started. For
this rock star who turned sixty this weekend. He says
he's in the best shape and place he's ever been.
Speaker 9 (44:26):
As you said, here at sixty, do you have hangups
about that? Are you worried about it?
Speaker 8 (44:30):
Or I don't ship out on age? You don't all.
Speaker 13 (44:34):
I don't understand the concept. And for me, look, you
can be thirty years old and be destroyed, and you
can be ninety years old and be young and vibrant.
Speaker 9 (44:46):
I feel that too, because I'm sixty nine and people
said you shouldn't tell people your age. I don't want
to be hung up that. Oh my god, I can't
say it, Lenny. I'm so happy to be in the planet.
Speaker 8 (44:55):
I think it's more impressive.
Speaker 9 (44:56):
I don't know about that, but I just want to
I feel so happy to be on on the planet, healthy, healthy,
exactly healthy.
Speaker 8 (45:02):
So I was wondering if gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (45:04):
Well, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (45:06):
It takes a village.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
It takes a village.
Speaker 9 (45:09):
As you sit here turning sixteen, when you think about that,
do you feel I'm ready? Do you have that fortune
whatever the next chapter is in your life?
Speaker 13 (45:20):
Well, I have no choice, so you know what I mean? Like,
that's either you're here or you're not. Here's what's interesting. However,
this sounds I've never felt more yump.
Speaker 14 (45:33):
You said, let love rule asking for a friend?
Speaker 9 (45:36):
Is there love in your life? Now? Do you have
a significant other in your life? And can I beat
her ass if she is up?
Speaker 3 (45:43):
Said?
Speaker 4 (45:43):
I say that out loud. Do you have and I'm
non violentlydy gravitz?
Speaker 8 (45:49):
But do you have a partner? Do you have love?
Right now? I'm just open?
Speaker 9 (45:53):
Are you even looking?
Speaker 13 (45:54):
It's hard not to look. You know, when you desire something,
you know you're looking for it, right, But I find
that when you don't look is when you find it.
And I'm at a place where I've said this for
several years.
Speaker 8 (46:08):
I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I wasn't ready. I
thought I was ready, right, But now are you ready?
Speaker 13 (46:14):
I can say that I've never felt how I feel now.
Speaker 9 (46:18):
I'll just say this about you. You seem very comfortable
in your own skin at all times.
Speaker 13 (46:23):
I think that's a constant journey. But I feel great
when somebody says when did you feel like whatever? You know,
when did you feel your best? That I have to go, oh,
let me think, yeah, man, no today right now, that's.
Speaker 8 (46:39):
How I feel too.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Here's to us.
Speaker 5 (46:45):
Get a g Gail was serving those knees, how your knees?
Gil had a little boots on, You had her boots on, baby,
she was ready.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
So my main thing with all that, the thing that
hit me. Yeah, we love Lenny Rabbits and album is
really nice because you've played a couple of cuts for
me and I like the part that was cute for
me was when she was basically asking about the love
in his life and then we see like when I
think about Gail King, you know she's she's such a
(47:17):
journalist and she's so whatever. But she was like when
she was like, do you have a love in your life?
And can I beat her ass? That was hilarious to
me because it's so out of character. People, you know,
trip when it happens when I'm in circles and I'm
talking to people on this little tiny scale that I'm on,
and if I were to say something, and I usually
(47:37):
apologize if I you know, curse or say something like
ass or whatever. But it's it's funny because you don't
but you because you don't expect it.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
So funny.
Speaker 4 (47:47):
She was funny that day. So okay, okay, Brandy, Yeah,
sixty it's you know, the older that I get, the
more I do look at people in that that are
older than us, and I'm just okay, yeah, we can
do this another day. So she's six. Gale is sixty
nine years olds.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
Damn near seventies.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
An amazing thing, and so does Lenny. So h yeah,
I love that all right. The last thing that I
had to talk about today was this Alfonso how do
you say his last man? Roberto? Yeah, Alfonso Roberto was weird.
Did you guys see this? And what is the bad
beef between him and Tyler Ferry.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
So on X. Somebody said, now this is kind of
maybe we're just do you.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
Have the tweet?
Speaker 3 (48:31):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (48:31):
Oh, okay, okay, here okay.
Speaker 5 (48:33):
Somebody said, Tyler Perry needs to revamp Alfonso's career. I
just know he could. So the person who wrote it
thinking that's he's saying something.
Speaker 4 (48:43):
Because yeah, yeah, way too strong.
Speaker 5 (48:47):
Because I don't need or ever want that man to
do anything for me.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
Huh damn.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
So what are people saying about that comment?
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Well, you know some crazy world, what do you say?
Speaker 4 (49:03):
I don't know. Maybe they have some former dealings and
he was trying to hire him on the jeep or
say something, or maybe he feels like his movies or
whatever aren't up to the par with whatever he's into.
I don't know, but I was just like, what is
all what is all.
Speaker 3 (49:21):
This much into it?
Speaker 4 (49:23):
I don't I don't think so because I don't want.
Speaker 5 (49:26):
That man to do anything. I don't ever want that
man to do anything for me. Yeah, that's seems like
a lot.
Speaker 4 (49:33):
I just wonder what's what's going on? What's the story here,
what's going on? So yeah, those are just some of
the things that I was like, Oh, I can't wait
to talk about this.
Speaker 5 (49:43):
With my family here, the chat even comment, yeah, ain't
saying nothing.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
About the elfon whatever because we don't like it's so
random and weird. You don't know, right?
Speaker 3 (49:56):
Is that it bad? Look, let's.
Speaker 4 (50:06):
Okay, all right, Yeah that was you know what's funny?
Speaker 5 (50:09):
I know what's happening, and now know what's happening. I
asked the guy about.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
You know how you need to eat because you come on,
let's go get you something.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
No, no, no, it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
Let's get you some orange joes.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
So what happens? Yeah, he said, what happens? I ask
him about the vagel response like people passing out?
Speaker 4 (50:29):
Yeah, I would be on rock, but why like why
is the reaction so strong to go to social media?
And basically yeah, yeah, oh my god, yeah no, yeah,
he's so. It was a child star used tap dance cadd.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
He did it saying how dare you?
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Basically I guess, yeah, but what but you don't say, like, uh,
you know, Tyler pair is a great talent. I don't
think it's really my thing, and so I'm good without it.
But yeah, it sounds like something else. Actually I don't
know what it is. It's weird. I just I guess.
I just would never go on. He knows the whole
world is gonna see it, and it's just sort of
(51:11):
a strong response. So that's what struck me. I was like,
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (51:16):
Does anybody know.
Speaker 4 (51:18):
So all right, so what are we gonna do to
make you feel better today?
Speaker 3 (51:21):
Well, you just need to lay down, I think.
Speaker 5 (51:24):
So Brandon said, she's gonna do some digging and find
out to.
Speaker 3 (51:29):
You said, something happened a.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
D party's ugly? Okay, so and yes he is.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
So the guy I asked, so.
Speaker 4 (51:37):
You know, gave a lot of blood.
Speaker 3 (51:38):
He did a lot of Troy has.
Speaker 5 (51:40):
The Beagle response, the response passing out when you can
take your blood.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
And I was asking the guy about it.
Speaker 5 (51:47):
So he was explaining, I think that's kind of He
was saying that your sugar's low, the anxiety, the combination.
Speaker 3 (51:56):
Makes you react a certain.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Way and pass out some people and you had some
people can sleepy, so I think it's somewhere in there.
Speaker 4 (52:05):
Okay, Well, the.
Speaker 5 (52:08):
Amount of blood taken and then the bodies. Oh, he's saying. Basically,
he was saying, you're adrenaline. When you're adrenaline, it's cut off.
It makes you feel sleepy.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
Well, we're gonna figure out.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
I know you guys do not care about that.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
We're gonna we're gonna figure it out. I'm gonna take
care of and again y'all, So okay, We're sorry that
we were not around last week. We had so many
things to talk about. So I think I'm a monopolized the
conversation this week, but but so many amazing things. Of course,
in the real world, we're awaiting the the the jury
(52:49):
gets the Trump hush money trial. I think they said Friday,
they start to deliberate, they wrapped it all up. So
in the real world that's happening. That's that's a big
thing that's going on. And I don't know the question
has been asked of reporters when when we spoke with
these correspondents in New York. So what does this mean?
So ultimately, what happens if if Donald Trump is the
(53:11):
first former president to ever uh stand trial like a
criminal trial, and so what does it mean? I think
for the for the folks who who rock with Trump, regardless,
I don't think it's going to mean anything. And so
he's still and if he's still allowed to be the Republican,
the presumptive Republican nominee for president, he's still going to
(53:34):
be the Republican nominee and people are still going to
vote and it's still gonna come down to it. So meantime, meantime,
I think Biden's writing checks to folks, trying to you know,
writing checks. He's forgiving loan, college loan. That's he's trying
to do everything that he's He's opened some oil reserves
so that people could poll. Gas could be cheaper. He's
(53:56):
pulling out the stop so we'll see. The election is
in November. Vote but vote.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
Biden is paying for free cookouts.
Speaker 4 (54:03):
Yeah, he's speaking at uh.
Speaker 5 (54:04):
He said, I want to be invited to the cookout
Black Americans, so I'm paying for the cookouts.
Speaker 3 (54:08):
That's so take that idea, Joe.
Speaker 4 (54:10):
That's the biggest thing. Of course, this war and Godza
still rages on. It's just it's we're seeing more protests
around the world, so we understand big things are happening.
But this man is tired and we're gonna go. We're
gonna go and we'll see you next week. If there's
some things you want us to talk about, you know, space.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
And ask Allison's always around.
Speaker 4 (54:29):
Space and we can talk about it here, all right, y'all.
Speaker 3 (54:32):
Peace out,
