Now 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: a ton to get into. We have not been back 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: here in the studio for some days because Fashion Week 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: has been driving me insane. It's a good insane though, 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: so last season, last February, I think one of the 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: only things I did, or maybe I did two things. 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: I know, I walked in the Met Theeater show, shout 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: out to Gabrielle and the Met Feeder team, Met Theeater magazine. 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: I also attended a like just a few events. I 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: don't even know if that was fashion Week. For some reason, 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: the only thing I remember from fashion Week last season, 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: for those who don't know, would have been February of 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and you know, would have been September 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: twenty five. It's a different season. And that just basically 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: means that the clothes on the runway that they're showing 21 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: our different seasons, so you're always showing a season ahead. 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: So right now, September twenty twenty five, this is the fall. 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: So on the runway, what we got to see all 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: of the fashion week shows that I've been to. Within 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: the last couple of days, they're showing us clothing for 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: spring summer twenty twenty six, and then in February they 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: were showing us what was coming for the fall. You 28 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: get where I'm going here. Okay, this for all my 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: people that are not fashion now I've been, you know, 30 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: out of studio, please go and visit my YouTube channel. 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: I know. We did do an audio only episode where 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: I broke down Harlem's Fashion Row, which was the show 33 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: that kicked all fashion week for me. Shout out to 34 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: Brandis and her team and foot Locker. Since that event, 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: we have done so much. I attended Sergio Hudson's show. 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: I talked about that a bit on the Breakfast Club. 37 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: I am a huge, huge, huge advocate for black Designersnumber one, 38 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: me being a person. You know, we don't have our 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: merch live anymore on the website, but me being a 40 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: person that designs myself that is into fashion. Myself, I 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: understand how much it takes to take fabric, to take 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: an idea, to take a concept, a mood, and an 43 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: inspiration board, and to make it a full line of clothing, 44 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: a collection. You know how much money it takes, how 45 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: much thought you put your babies out there into the world. 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: So you know, I champion up and coming designers in general, 47 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: just because you know, anytime I can give platform, I 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: love to because when I've been given platforms, It's changed 49 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: my life. So I try to do that as I 50 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: can for other people, but black designers specifically, because people 51 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: always ask me, where does my passion for fashion? Where 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: does it come from? My mother was a fashion designer. 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: She was here in New York for some years before 54 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: she moved to Delaware and had me. She actually decided 55 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: not to go and follow her fashion design dreams and 56 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: to move to Delaware, you know, get into flipping housing 57 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: and have me, and you just wanted to come to 58 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: create a stable life for herself. Because she had been 59 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: here in New York for some time. She had done 60 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: a few programs at FT, which is a fashion institute here. 61 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: She was actually selling clothing in a boutique and it 62 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: just wasn't I mean, she was doing well, but in 63 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: wanting to start a family from it, it wasn't what 64 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: she wanted. She hadn't accumulated enough to be comfortable enough 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: to bring kids into the world off of her creative 66 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: talent of design and clothing. So she turned that into 67 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: you know, let me buy property, let me design inside 68 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: of the property. My mom, you know, at one point, 69 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: was doing everything from land towles on the floor to 70 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: building out bathrooms. Like you know, she just took it 71 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: from one place to the other. But she needed stability. 72 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: And every time I hear her story, I know, she 73 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: tells me a story about, you know, almost being able 74 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: to go from the boutique that she was selling in 75 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: here in New York to putting clothing into Macy's. But 76 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: they wanted you to be able to pay for all 77 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: of your own inventory, and you had to have a 78 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: certain amount of inventory to be able to go in 79 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the store. She didn't really know much about getting loan, 80 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: and you know, she just wasn't making enough to be 81 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: able to front that cost. So she decided to take 82 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: the money that she did have saved up go and 83 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: buy property and lean more into that. And I always think, 84 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, when I see her sketches, when I see 85 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: how excited she gets about my friends who designed and 86 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: just different things that I'm doing. What her life would 87 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: have been like if she had been able to eat 88 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: off of And granted she she ate off of her 89 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: creativity to a certain extent, but she had been able 90 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: to eat off of being a fashion designer to the 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: extent where she was able to feel stable enough to 92 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: bring kids into the world and do that full time. 93 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: I always wonder what my mom's life experience would have 94 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: been like. Granted, all things work out under God in 95 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: the way that they're supposed to, but that is always 96 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: something I think about. And when I see how passionate 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: I get about, you know, clothing and putting together things 98 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: and designing things, like, oh my god, it wows me 99 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: to see how something like that can be passed on generationally. 100 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: And then I see it in my niece, like I 101 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: catch her like sketching things and she's she can just 102 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: do so much. And I always think, you know, what 103 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: that generational pass down would have looked like if my 104 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: mom had put that line in Macy's and that became 105 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, the next big I don't know, gap or 106 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: H and M or whatever the case may be. Right, 107 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: So when I see young designers, especially young black designers, 108 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: I try and support as much as I can. I'm 109 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: actually wearing a designer right now. I post pictures to 110 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: my social media. For all of the audio listeners who 111 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: don't see me, can only hear me. And then for 112 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: those of you guys that are are looking at me, 113 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: you see me. I'm in a spec suit.

I'm always giving things to God, 203 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: and y'all hear me talk a lot about just where 204 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: I've come from, what I've been able to do. But Lord, yes, 205 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: like these last couple of days has made me grateful 206 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: for everything. I even found myself one day just sitting 207 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: and being grateful for I mean, I've always been grateful 208 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: for my journey at TMZ, but being extremely grateful for it, 209 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: like beyond words grateful for it, just like thinking about 210 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: how God has put me in positions that I couldn't 211 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: even have dreamt of, nor could I ever just applied 212 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: for as a job, you know what I mean, Like 213 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: just really great positions that have prepared me for like 214 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: next steps. When I ran into Sherry Shepherd at Sergio 215 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: Hudson's show, you know, she was pouring into me. It 216 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: was really fast, but we got to talk of it, 217 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: and she did this when she came to the Breafast 218 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: Club too. But you know her words were like, and 219 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: keep doing what you're doing, but you know, remember that 220 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: this is going somewhere for you. What you do and 221 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: how you do it, as you hone it, as you sharpen, 222 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: this is going somewhere for you. And I know it's tough. 223 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: Y'all see the Breakfast Club and y'all see the things 224 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: that we do there, and I don't think people unders then. 225 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: Coming from a newsroom, I'm used to having a team 226 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: for the producers who also do what I do, reach 227 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: out on news break stories. I'm used to having a 228 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: full developed research team that corrects you on everything from 229 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: pronunciation to factual checks to they keep you up to 230 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: date in the moment they're yelling and screaming things out 231 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: as they change video editors like the team and the 232 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: dynamic is so different. What I love about the Breakfast 233 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: Club is, you know, we're a smaller team, but we're 234 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: all learning together. They're teaching me about radio and how 235 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club has been able to be the engine 236 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: it has been for the last fifteen years, and I'm 237 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: teaching them. You know, my perspective coming from a newsroom, 238 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: but a lot of those safeguards I don't have anymore. 239 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: So I don't have in ears in with you know, 240 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: producers feeding me information and all of that. So when 241 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm on air, when I'm preparing my stories, it is 242 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: just me. The pressure of that. Lord y'all don't understand. 243 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: And it for I would say, right before I started 244 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: this fast, which is what pushed me into the fast, 245 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: it has started to get to me. Like when I 246 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: would mess up, I would be so on my head 247 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: about it for weeks and weeks and week. It would 248 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: throw my energy off in the room, and you know, 249 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: just so many things. And I think that's natural. I 250 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: think as platform grows and your notoriety grows, and you know, 251 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: if you really care about what you do, like I'm 252 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: an artist, like people are like, oh, you're a journalist. 253 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm a storyteller, right. I can tell stories across many 254 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: different verticals. This is just where you guys are meeting 255 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: me right now. But because I care about this, and 256 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: because I care about that, I take everything to heart. 257 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: Not that I harp on what people say, but more so, 258 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: it's just like I've learned things at a set standard 259 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: that I want to keep it at, but also want 260 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: to go above that. So whenever i feel like I'm 261 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: not doing that, I do get really hard on myself. 262 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: And she was reminding me. She literally said to me, 263 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: Sherry Shepherd said to me, I know you don't have 264 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: everything behind you. I know when that might goes up, 265 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: it's just you and it feels like that and even 266 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: it and I'm like, well, no, I got producers. She's 267 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: like yes, but for what you do, it's very hard 268 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: to have a team that you know is fully trained 269 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: the way you are trained. And now that I'm in 270 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: the talk show space, I understand that. Like it. It's different. 271 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: When you turn on that mic, it is you, When 272 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: you prepare that segment, it is you. The responsibility of 273 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: that is very very heavy, but take it and stride. 274 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: You can't be perfect things will happen, but remember you 275 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: are going somewhere. Don't let it stop you. And she 276 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: was just telling me that, you know, I'm doing a 277 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: really good job and stuff like that matters to me 278 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: so much because again, I care about this. This is 279 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: my career, this is going to be you know, this 280 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: is this is this is my thing, this is one 281 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: of my things. But this is the vehicle that's gonna 282 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: get all the other things moving. But also too, It's 283 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: just you know, when you see people doing things at 284 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: a heighten a level where you want to get to 285 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: you listen, like, you know, I want to remain a 286 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: student forever. But I don't know. I just went on 287 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: that tangent Lord Have mercy, but that was a bit 288 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: about Fashion Week. Yeah, I just I'm grateful for the invites. 289 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: There was a lot of like shows that we wanted 290 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: to RSVP for or RSVP Ford and didn't hear back. 291 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Like we didn't get into the Wang Show, which was 292 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: kind of crazy to me because I work a lot 293 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: with Alexander Wang. But there was a lot of things 294 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: that we didn't get to do firsthand. But the things 295 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: that I did get to do, it was like God 296 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: had me everywhere I was supposed to be and looking 297 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: good while doing it. Okay, couldn't ask for nothing better 298 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: but to be preordained and covered and favored by God 299 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: and look good while doing it. Okay, Clockett, That's all 300 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: you can ever ask for. So you know, fashion week 301 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: was fire.

Has always done that, 330 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: Like Carti has always been very conscious of her rollouts. 331 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: I will say though her rollouts, like for instance, a 332 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: rollouts she did for invasion or privacy, I felt like 333 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: that was like, I mean, she's always been touching her fans, 334 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: stays on social all that, but that was very high level, 335 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: like it was all of the visuals and the photo shoots, 336 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: and you know, she does her thing every time she 337 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: hits any season or any location at Fast Week. This 338 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: feels like Carti felt like in her mind she needed 339 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: to get back. She's been connected with her fans, but 340 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: like she needed to like touch the people for real, 341 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: for real. So she has all the photo shoots, the 342 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, all of the all the things I just said, 343 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: the fashion week stuff and all that. She's been running 344 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: around Fashion Week as well. I saw her and culture 345 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: at Alexander Wang, you know. I saw her also at 346 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: the Galore magazine party with Tokyo Styles. I was actually 347 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: at that party. But this feels like old school Carti 348 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: set the camera up, get back outside. That's literally what 349 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: this feels like. And it's working, and it's honestly showing 350 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: and reminding people why we love Carti, but also what 351 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: superstardom really feels like, right, Like when people feel like 352 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: they know you, but like they can't touch you or 353 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: get to you, like the old school celebrity way. It 354 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: feels like that and I love to see it. But 355 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: getting back to her answer, so, originally, when I heard 356 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: this audio and I heard her answer, I'm like, yes, 357 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: I have two male best friends that I don't even 358 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: call them like my best friends. I call one of 359 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: them my best friends. But to be honest with you, 360 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: like we family, Like those are my brothers, Like we 361 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: are family for real. It's been years of us being 362 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: family and like you know, knowing each other's lives and 363 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, all the things. And there are a lot 364 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: of times where even if my opinion is not asked, 365 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,719 Speaker 1: because I'm good for inserting something where it's not asked, 366 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: do I have to pause that? No, I don't gotta 367 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: paused that because I can insert things if they okay. Yes, 368 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: But a lot of times I'm in their business, and 369 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: even if I'm not purposely in their business, maybe I 370 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: overhear something or they mentioned something. As a woman, I react, 371 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: And I've always been very honest with them about because 372 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: here's my thing as a woman who's been in relationships 373 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: where I was being lied to, I was being cheated on, 374 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: I was being you know, under not appreciated, I wasn't 375 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: being you know, taught what I wanted to learn or 376 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: being led. But also as a woman being in a 377 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: relationship who hasn't always been right either, Like I've lied 378 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: as well, I've cheated as well. I've been you know, 379 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: not the best partner as well. I begin to realize 380 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 1: is you know, the it appreciate the male perspective in 381 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 1: my life. So I give them my female perspective very honestly, 382 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: because even when they don't want to hear it, I 383 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: know they appreciate it because I'm the same way when 384 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: they tell me something. So you know, there's been situations 385 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: where my male friends will mention things or say things 386 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait, what you did, what you said, 387 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: what you responded to her? Like, especially when it comes 388 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: to their like, you know, relationships and like, you know, 389 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: one of my best friends is engaged, should be married. Like, 390 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of times where I've had to 391 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I feel you, but like I don't 392 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: really feel you though, because as a woman, here's where 393 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: that's coming from, and you're never going to see or 394 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: understand this perspective. So I'm gonna give it to you. 395 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: And another thing too, is I think you know when 396 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: you hear that, there's a lot of people who will 397 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: say I'm my business. I don't get involved in my friends' relationships, 398 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: and to a certain extent, I do, especially certain friends. 399 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: But if it's a relationship that I feel like there 400 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: is progression within, there's a chance for growth you know 401 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: there's a change, and especially if the person wants the information, 402 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: that's where I insert it. And a lot of times 403 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: it's like, as a man, even if you have the 404 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: greatest relationship with your partner, with your wife, with your girlfriend, right, 405 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: you may not hear things the way she needs you 406 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: to hear it. You may not. And even if you 407 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: hear it, like I'm not talking about the physical act 408 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: of hearing something. I'm talking about hearing to comprehend, understanding, 409 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: and have empathy or feel. A lot of times men 410 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: don't do that and women do the same thing. I 411 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: learned from having male friends that women we are horrible 412 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: at really understanding are men. And really, I was gonna 413 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: say taking care of our men, but I know the 414 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: women listening to that, like, girl, what taking care of 415 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: our men? What? No? I mean taking care of our 416 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: men as in not even nurturing. I think that naturally, 417 00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: as women we nurture. But just oh, Charlemage's wife said 418 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: the perfect thing to me one time, being it's a 419 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: safe space, providing a safe space and being there and 420 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: showing up for them just as people. A lot of 421 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: times I think women we deal with men as the 422 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: men we've been programmed for them to be. We've never 423 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: learned how to really take care of a man, that is, 424 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: you know your men, right, like a lot of us haven't. 425 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: And even if we have by your mom, your grandmother, whoever, 426 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: you relearn and unlearn a lot of things because your 427 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: men and your household is conducted completely different than what 428 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: they're used to right. And when I say that, I 429 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: mean like I was having a conversation and one of 430 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: the things she said to me. I was talking about, 431 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: you know, some things, and I think you know, me 432 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: and Bay were we were back and forth about something, 433 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: a little argument, and the first thing she said to 434 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: me was, but are you creating a safe space though? 435 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: And I had to think about it and I'm like, yeah, 436 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think I am. And she's like, well 437 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: you thought about it? What was the hesitation? I was like, 438 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: you know, I had to think about what, say space 439 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: is even supposed to look like and feel like. I 440 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: know what I want my safe space to look like 441 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: and feel like. But I'm not a man. I'm not 442 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: dealing with the things that he deals with in the 443 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: world every single day. So I had to really sit 444 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: back and like think about, like, you know, what are 445 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: some of the things that are happening in his life 446 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: right now, What are some of the things that he's 447 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: dealing with on a day to day You know what 448 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 1: am I hearing him talk about complaining about? Or just 449 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: where are the spaces that I feel like there's a 450 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: void of like you need the support or sometimes not 451 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: even just support like an action, but just like somebody there. 452 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing with having platonic 453 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: male and female relationships. And I think that's what Carti's 454 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: speaking to. It's like as a woman when I'm telling 455 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: my guy friends, no, she needs you to pull up 456 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: this way. No, here's what she meant by that. Her 457 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: delivery might have been messed up, her delivery might have 458 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: been overly emotional. She may be not appreciating you well. 459 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: But here's where that's stemming from. It's not okay, but 460 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: here's where that's coming from. And here's the best way 461 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: to go about having a conversation about it that it 462 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: doesn't cause more issues. Easier said than done when an 463 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: ain't your own situation. But I've been able to do 464 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: that in real time and it's helped. And I do 465 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: think that you notice the difference in men not even 466 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: that have female like best friends, but just active female 467 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: relationships in their life that are healthy, so like with 468 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: their mother, with their sister, with their aunts, with their cousins. 469 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Like there's a big difference in men and how they 470 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: protect women, how they listen to women, how they and 471 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: I think a lot of men too, they're only like 472 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: women were only programs, in my opinion, or I know, 473 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: at least, I was only programmed to view a man 474 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: a certain way, to view a man by what he 475 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: can do, how much he can do it financially, physically, 476 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: how much he can do like you know, around the house, 477 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: that type of thing, and like just you know, like 478 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: the leader of the household. Like, but all those things 479 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: have so much weight on them. I've never ever been 480 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: taught to look at a man like a human who 481 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: has feelings, who may be we who may not can't 482 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: do ever I had to learn and I'm still learning 483 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: that a bit, Like I'm still figuring that out and 484 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: what that looks like for me in a relationship and 485 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: how I continue to see the man at superman even 486 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: when he's vulnerable and allowing him space and say space 487 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: to be able to do that. But that comes from 488 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: male friends. When I be seeing my male friends go 489 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: through things with women, I'd be like, Yo, does she 490 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 1: not know you're? Like how dedicated to her you are, 491 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: how much of a good man you were, how much 492 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: you're trying. And when I see stuff like that, it 493 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: makes me think about how I am on the other 494 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: side as the woman dealing with a man. So those 495 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: perspectives are important, in my opinion, very important. Now, I 496 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: will say I get a little weary with the whole 497 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: bestie brother, with that whole thing, because women be lying 498 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: and men be full of shit. Okay, I'm not with 499 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: all of the like sneaky like. I can't I don't know, 500 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: I can't get with that. I do think that as 501 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: a woman, my whole thing is is if you have 502 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: female friends, I need to meet them. I need to 503 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: be around them, because one thing a woman knows is 504 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: her man. I can tell and I'll always ask, have 505 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: y'all had any type of relationship? Has there ever been 506 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: any conversation, any flirtation, any even if physically you guys 507 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: have never done anything. Has there ever been anything? Because 508 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: the men, I pick up on something and you done 509 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: told me something different, it's a rap. You can tell 510 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: There's so much you can tell by how people interacts. 511 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: This is men or women, by the advice that woman 512 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: best friend is giving a man, by you know, how 513 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: they interact in person. There are so many different ways 514 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: that you can pick up on certain things. So that's 515 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: my whole thing. I just want to meet these people, 516 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: be comfortable with the situation and you know, all the things. 517 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: But once I'm comfortable and I know that this is platonic, 518 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: I can trust it. I'm all for you know, the 519 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: female relationships, if they're healthy, if they add to like, 520 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, the growth and the progression of what you're 521 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: trying to get to. Because I do think that men 522 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: sometimes don't hear women fully, and I think women don't 523 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: hear men fully sometimes. So sometimes you need you know, 524 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: you need your allies in the room. You need allies 525 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: anywhere you go. You need advocates anywhere you go. And 526 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: sometimes that's that's just what it is. Now real quick, 527 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: as we wrap up, I do want to give a 528 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: shout out to the Emmys. I did it full Emmy's 529 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: recap this morning on the Breakfast Club and there was 530 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: a lot that went down really quick. In case you 531 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: missed it, miss Feliciervshad gave a amazing opening speech in 532 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: memorial of Malcolm Jamal Warner. And this was not in 533 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: the opening of the show. This was in the opening 534 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: of the tribute segment. So at the toward the end 535 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: of the Grammys she opened it up and the imagery 536 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: of just you know, miss Felicia for Shad and Malcolm 537 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: Jamal Warner standing behind her, and and you know the 538 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: words she was sharing, and then it went into the 539 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: full tribute for him and other people that the television 540 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: and film industry have lost this year. Man, it was, 541 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was a good trip. It 542 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: really was. Now. One of the things I didn't talk 543 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: about in the Breakfast Club when it comes to the 544 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: Emmy was the Boys and Girls Club initiative that they 545 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: championed the whole night. Now, I'm not gonna lie. At first, 546 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: I was like, this is tragic. Why do they get 547 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: these kids here parading them around? Like what is going on? 548 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Like why are they doing this? So and there were 549 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: mixed reactions online. So Nate bargets, is that how you 550 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: say his name? Wow? That's so crazy. I said his 551 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: name right here. When I said it earlier, I could 552 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: not get that name right. Nate Bargets, who is SNL 553 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: alum comedian, hosted the seventy seventh Emmy Awards this year 554 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: in La Right, So when Nate opens the show, he does, 555 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, his opening mindologue, They do the SNL thing, 556 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: and he comes on and he's like, look, I have 557 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: a way to keep people's speeches short. So he begins 558 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: to then tell us, and what his way was. He says, 559 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: I'll donate one hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and 560 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: Girls Club at the end of the night if we 561 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: can keep our speed is short. Now, granted, keeping speech 562 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: is short at an award ceremony is what you want. 563 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: I will tell y'all. I watch the Emmys. I watch 564 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: anytime I'm going to report on something, I want to 565 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: watch it as much as I can. I watched the 566 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: MS last night. It was a very hard watch. And 567 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: I don't mean because it was emotional. I mean it 568 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: was long and it was born as hell. I tried 569 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: my hardest to like be into it. There were certain 570 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: points that I got into and there were certain points 571 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: that I just I could not get into. Right now. 572 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: There was one part of this where you know Nate 573 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: is talking about everything he's gonna do for the Boys 574 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: and Girls Club, And the point was the speeches needed 575 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: to be forty five seconds or less. Whenever the speech 576 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: went over, he was going to deduct one thousand dollars 577 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: from the money that he was donated to the Boys 578 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: and Girls Club, which was cringey to me because I'm like, bro, 579 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, everybody goes over and their speeches at the 580 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Emmys or at any award show. Why are you gonna 581 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: taunt these kids like that, Like like so, you're just 582 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: gonna deduct money that they need right in front of 583 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: their face. They also had JB. Smooth there as a 584 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: part of this initiative, who is Boys and Girls Club alum? 585 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: He is on their you know Hall of Fame Hall 586 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: of Fame on their website as well, and JB's Smooth 587 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: was a part of, you know, just talking about what 588 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: they were doing throughout the full night. So you know, 589 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: there were a few times where people were coming right 590 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: under or they would notice that they were going over 591 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: and they would stop. Like there was one point where 592 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: seth rogen got to like thirty nine seconds and it 593 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: had to stop. Like people were being very conscious of 594 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: it because they didn't want the money to be taken away, 595 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: but by the end of the night there was money missing. 596 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: It was in the negative. But the good thing about 597 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: this though, was that CBS. At the end of the night, 598 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: Nate ended up announcing that CBS was actually donated one 599 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and Girls Club, and 600 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: then he personally put in two hundred and fifty thousand 601 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: dollars to the initiative as well, So they walked away 602 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: with three hundred and fifty thousand dollars donated to the 603 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club. I love anything that has a 604 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: purpose behind it, especially Boys and Girls Club initiatives. I'm 605 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: also a Boys and Girls Club baby. We spent a 606 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: lot of time there. You know. It's just things you 607 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: needing your neighborhood like that, a place for kids to 608 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: be wearing safe and they can, you know, commune and 609 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: fellowship with other children. So shout out to the Emmys 610 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: for that. Although I dang there, fell asleep multiple times. 611 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: I think Tina Fey was her part was good at well. 612 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: I was. I was on my way to sleep while 613 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: watching it, and I heard Tina Facey the Beehive gonna 614 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: be mad at her and that brought me back. That 615 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: one brought me back because, by the way, I feel 616 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: like Beyonce or Kendrick Lamar deserved out a word over 617 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: SNL fifty. I know SNL is a major institution, developed 618 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: a lot of talent, brought a lot of talent, but 619 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't think SNL 620 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: fifty was that good to win over the other two 621 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: things that were in the running forward, you know, Kendrick 622 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: Lamar and Beyonce.

I woke back up when I 627 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: saw that, and thank god I did, because then I 628 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: got through the rest of the show, was able to 629 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: see the three hundred and fifty thousand dollars plass the 630 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club, wrapped it up, and was able 631 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: to wake up this morning and talk about it.
