Speaker 1: that you don't mind doing If somebody gives you a gift,
Speaker 1: you like, hey, I'm keeping it. H Yeah, No, not really. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think you should accept a gifts. No, seriously,
Speaker 1: I don't think you should accept gifts from everyone that
Speaker 1: you're not interested in. Okay, some guys. Look, I know
Speaker 1: he was a nice guy. I know he wouldn't do
Speaker 1: anything to me crazy, so and I want it to
Speaker 1: get but I wanted to get. But don't you think
Speaker 1: if somebody gives you something like a Rolex, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's ten thousand dollars. Yeah, he's not giving it to
Speaker 1: you because he thinks you're cool. You know, he probably
Speaker 1: wants to date you or but he thinks something cool.
Speaker 1: That's why he wants to date me. But I don't
Speaker 1: want to date him. But I just wanted to get.
Speaker 1: But he might think that that's like a leading like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's accepting and I am misleading him. So y'all don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. As long as you don't
Speaker 1: mislead him. You know, I'm saying, you gotta let that person. No,
Speaker 1: this don't mean nothing. I don't owe you anything because
Speaker 1: you gave me this watch. Don't think because you gave

Speaker 1: the gift. Yah know. I mean but even if you
Speaker 1: do say that, he still think this is a chance
Speaker 1: because you're accepting the gift. I mean yeah, but if
Speaker 1: you're making it clear, like just because you're giving this gift,
Speaker 1: that don't mean I'm giving you some of this boom boom?
Speaker 1: You know? Can you also ask for other things? You know,
Speaker 1: just because you gave me that this is not enough.

Speaker 1: your girl. Now, No, not necessarily depends on the gift
Speaker 1: a rolex. Yeah, if I give a rolling, yeah, that's

Speaker 1: stipulations down. We are sleeping together, So somebody gives you
Speaker 1: a rolex that you're not interested in. You're taking that
Speaker 1: rolex and you out absolutely because you want to know
Speaker 1: something to day decided to give it to me for it? Nini,
Speaker 1: do you lay any stipulations down? Do you let them know? Like,
Speaker 1: ain't ain't happening now just because you gave me a gift?
Speaker 1: Feel like we want to dinner? What's your restaurant? And
Speaker 1: would you like to eat at? You know, we go
Speaker 1: to dinner tonight. We can talk and yeah, but that's it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know I didn't do Yanni like that. Hello,
Speaker 1: you didn't do you? Hello, good morning, good morning. What's
Speaker 1: your name Devin, Devin, what's your thoughts, Devin? Are you
Speaker 1: accepting gifts with somebody not interested in? Of course I
Speaker 1: am not, and I love you, my husband adore you.
Speaker 1: But I think it is so wrong to accept a
Speaker 1: gift to somebody you have no interest with. I think
Speaker 1: he mis lead them. I think, yeah, it gives something
Speaker 1: the wrong message. And I think that's part of the
Speaker 1: like part of why like soccer tapping, like open up
Speaker 1: so many different hands on work. Yeah, I understand, but
Speaker 1: I actually did, in the end date this guy for
Speaker 1: a little while. I don't know if you guys remember
Speaker 1: he's that sorry date like I have to do it
Speaker 1: because he gave me order. No, he was giving me
Speaker 1: so much. I was the guy. We saw this playout
Speaker 1: on TV. Yeah, I did have to. I just felt
Speaker 1: like I needed to day him. He was so good
Speaker 1: to me. Who wasn't I don't want to shout him up.
Speaker 1: I don't need to, h So, he was so good
Speaker 1: to you, he gave you gifts, So why didn't it work?
Speaker 1: It just didn't work. He's we're still are friends today.
Speaker 1: He's a very nice guy. But um, I'm honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: just wasn't attracted to him. Okay, don't do that, I
Speaker 1: tell you you, pepe j You know what I think too.
Speaker 1: I think some of these women haven't received the right gift.
Speaker 1: The only person I heard they give to get back
Speaker 1: with the person who received the apple watch. Everybody getting
Speaker 1: their rolexes and these big boy gives, these big girl
Speaker 1: gifts ain't giving them back. But what's the mole of
Speaker 1: the story. I think the mother of the story as
Speaker 1: long as you let people know what it is. You
Speaker 1: know what I think the mother of the story is.
Speaker 1: You have to use good judgment, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I knew that he wasn't a bad person. I knew
Speaker 1: he wouldn't hurt me or anything like that. But you
Speaker 1: can't accept everybody's gifts, all right? Did anybody ever ask
Speaker 1: anything back? Who is everybody? Anybody? Anyone? No, you can't
Speaker 1: get these gifts backs. They're not going back. What we're
Speaker 1: gonna do? What you want to be getting the back?
Speaker 1: I respect that. I tell women all the time, you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't on apphone, you know what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: can't that don't get to get back. I'm not giving
Speaker 1: back anything. My goodness, it's the breakfast Come Morning, the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Your mornings will never be the same. Easy show.
Speaker 1: Celebrity prink Wars has hosts Kevin Hard and Nick Cannon
Speaker 1: the Clearing War on Hollywood. Each week they take you
Speaker 1: behind the schemes as they team up with their famous
Speaker 1: friends for high stakes and it's outrageous stunts and sweet revenge.
Speaker 1: The bigger the star, the harder they fall. Catch Celebrity
Speaker 1: prink Wars Tonight at ten on eight And those bridges
Speaker 1: and you gotta come back on that bridge because everything
Speaker 1: that go up come down, And so I just humble myself. Man.
Speaker 1: I definitely feel the pain of all the oldgs that
Speaker 1: have kids. I've been through a lot this year, bro.
Speaker 1: So you know in hip hop, the kids are turning
Speaker 1: on you. Everything you gotta deal with. And I get
Speaker 1: out and fight and work for my kids. And I
Speaker 1: look at and I'm gonna say the names because people
Speaker 1: always change the realm. But everybody's going through something, whether
Speaker 1: it's right or rome. But I feel like everything I've
Speaker 1: been in life, I've been shot at, almost killed. I
Speaker 1: grew up in the projects, I made it out. I
Speaker 1: put the work in and then you know, we talk
Speaker 1: about nine fifty years of hip hop. But look how
Speaker 1: we're crumbling because we don't value each other. And so
Speaker 1: anybody give you an opportunity, you should be able to
Speaker 1: value that and be thankful anybody ever gave me an opportunity.
Speaker 1: I know em when you came on and there was
Speaker 1: like a joke and everybody saying like what I was saying. Y'allo, man,
Speaker 1: it's not that many opportunities out here. Shout out the
Speaker 1: fifty cent what he's doing in the TV game. But
Speaker 1: when somebody come on the set, it's not from him.
Speaker 1: You know your check is not gonna get cut from
Speaker 1: that person. I mean, you're in the business. I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like when you look at George Lucas star Wars, those
Speaker 1: checks don't come from him. But I will culture just
Speaker 1: we just throw the blame at each other. And I
Speaker 1: was just curious because I'm gonna tell you something. The
Speaker 1: young lady that was on here, I love. I like her,
Speaker 1: like chief funny to me like that's I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: put it into the movie if I didn't feel like that.
Speaker 1: So even other guy from DC, I wouldn't have put
Speaker 1: him his music out. He's talented. I wouldn't have put
Speaker 1: him I could honestly admit if I think you're talented.
Speaker 1: But the world got to realize that everything don't sell
Speaker 1: when you validate something. Say a person was in jail,
Speaker 1: that's how and they're seeing their music in jail because
Speaker 1: that like, come on, bro, how far are we going?
Speaker 1: Like we gotta grow. That's why I said, we've more
Speaker 1: adventure entertaining than educating. Well, you think the misunderstanding is
Speaker 1: coming coming, Pep, Well, I think for me, Man, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I've been to a lot.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I lost my daughter and it's like, man,
Speaker 1: I ain't really got time for this, But I wanted
Speaker 1: to come up with the educated because I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: go against these people because I love them. This is
Speaker 1: this is this is what I was once was. But
Speaker 1: I have that much respect to if I have a problem,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you try to figure it out. Or
Speaker 1: if somebody ain't been around you ten years or this
Speaker 1: stuff this other thing happened six years ago. What I'm saying,
Speaker 1: why are we arguing and fussing about that. Other cultures
Speaker 1: are not doing it right. They're not putting each other down.
Speaker 1: They'll communicate now they that's the past. We can't change
Speaker 1: the pads with the change people, but we can be
Speaker 1: thankful somebody gave me an opportunity. Think about it, You
Speaker 1: guys got an opportunity on here. So if I pay
Speaker 1: somebody fifteen grand for three four hours or five whatever
Speaker 1: it was, right, if I came up here and hosts
Speaker 1: on this show with you, how much would you paying
Speaker 1: the host on the show? Yeah, I mean co host
Speaker 1: that on here anybody. Yeah, I mean if they're coming
Speaker 1: to just for a couple of days. Okay, So somebody
Speaker 1: could come here for a couple of days and make
Speaker 1: no money. But I could give somebody fifteen thousand for
Speaker 1: a couple of hours. And now I got to go
Speaker 1: through this that I gave him my opportunity. Think about it.
Speaker 1: Everything that I try to give people opportunities for it
Speaker 1: come back to bite me. And I'm saying why I
Speaker 1: think the devil is busy? You know why the devil busy?
Speaker 1: Because we're doing bigger things now. It's not I'm not
Speaker 1: in a music business. I love my people. I'm like,
Speaker 1: think about it, Charler Man, everything that I haven't done,
Speaker 1: why I didn't go byral Like I'm talking about pipe
Speaker 1: being in community over twenty four years. I'm gonna show
Speaker 1: you something. Your son going to an HBCU. Yeah, better
Speaker 1: of this stuff. I'm gonna saw your something. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start right now. You're talking about product I put out.
Speaker 1: It's a real book that I did with a seven
Speaker 1: year old kid that's blind. Now, that got shot in Louisville, right,
Speaker 1: Nobody talked about that. That can't like whoever did this?
Speaker 1: Nobody seen the ABC book what I sell for the
Speaker 1: kids and all. Let's go back for a wonderful call.
Speaker 1: I'd embarrassed so many kids in that city even then Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go out and watch the DC. I
Speaker 1: got a school that I'm with with other black men.
Speaker 1: I'm on the board and it's called Richard Wright. Why
Speaker 1: none of these kids coming down here and working with us,
Speaker 1: helping us keep this going. I'm not from DC, but
Speaker 1: the people in the DC know the time that I
Speaker 1: put in there. So I'm gonna show y'all in this.
Speaker 1: It's a gift for you, proud Burds. Y'all see that
Speaker 1: twenty four sixteen. A righteous man false seven times and
Speaker 1: then he arrives, He arrives from falling, he get back up.
Speaker 1: It don't matter how many times I don't feel I
Speaker 1: get back up. And I think people don't like that
Speaker 1: because they want me to stay. Well I used to
Speaker 1: be at I'm not. I'm not a quitter. I get
Speaker 1: up and work hard, do what I gotta do. And
Speaker 1: that's why God keep blessing. You think all of this
Speaker 1: is just some miscommunication, Yes, I really do. And for
Speaker 1: people that don't know, let's let's say Masterps here. Last week,
Speaker 1: Jess Hilarious was co hosting with us and there was
Speaker 1: a story about master P and Fatreal. So you know,
Speaker 1: Jess claimed that, you know, during taping off, I got
Speaker 1: the hook up too. She got a front end of
Speaker 1: a check and never received the back end. And she
Speaker 1: stated that, so what was the communication? And Masterpiece said,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't miscommunications. Masterpi said, I don't pay
Speaker 1: peoplet's a production company. It's my movie. But it's yeah,
Speaker 1: but why is we talking about that. Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: I gave you opportunity. Why is we talking about that
Speaker 1: to bring I'm not even in the music business no more.
Speaker 1: I'm not in the entertainment. But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So you take that and turn it into clicks. And
Speaker 1: even when she read it, I wasn't addressing them when
Speaker 1: I said people hide behind these computers and blog that
Speaker 1: wasn't That wasn't about her. That's what I'm telling y'all.
Speaker 1: It's all the miscommunication. What she read was not about her.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. Listen, Let's change this, man,
Speaker 1: Let's change our thoughts and our patterns to say, how
Speaker 1: can we help each other. I'm doing something bigger man.
Speaker 1: I'm I used to be in the streets. I changed
Speaker 1: my life. My life was about building guards kingdom. Now
Speaker 1: I'm about building this guard kingdom. And I know the
Speaker 1: devil gonna don't like that, like, okay, gonna throw my
Speaker 1: own people. That's why I say this us against us.
Speaker 1: We have to change that. But we got to stop
Speaker 1: allowing all these bloggers and gossips to start putting stuff
Speaker 1: out there and making the news. I'm just saying, even
Speaker 1: if she said that, nobody checked it verified, but that
Speaker 1: was news the same thing what you did. And when
Speaker 1: you said that, you hit the news to go viral
Speaker 1: for what? Oh I mean IRV got it? Yeah. All
Speaker 1: the reason I said that because you know, during that time,
Speaker 1: I was broke and and because that money meant everything
Speaker 1: to me. Now it doesn't bother me. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: need the money from Irvan. I speak to Earth all
Speaker 1: the time. But it bought me because during that time,
Speaker 1: I was an upcoming producer. That was my first beat
Speaker 1: soul and I didn't know the game. So IRV brought
Speaker 1: the beat. I never got a back end. He put
Speaker 1: it in a movie. I never got a money from it.
Speaker 1: But that bought me because I'm like, damn, that money
Speaker 1: would have helped and that. But now I'm past it.
Speaker 1: You know, I speak to him, but I speak to them.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying no for that. It triggered something to
Speaker 1: where the world on. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 1: It was like this was yesterday. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Even all the stuff that people talked about me, that
Speaker 1: was a long time. Yes, see what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: it made it like this new. But I'm saying, we
Speaker 1: don't need that with each other, because they don't. They
Speaker 1: could stand on each cone to do all these different things.
Speaker 1: Even if they have a problem with each other, they
Speaker 1: could communicate that with each other. I just think we
Speaker 1: have to stop that. We are killing us with the media.
Speaker 1: I have a school in Saint Louis called Urban Bonn,
Speaker 1: which you now, which we helped keep kids off the
Speaker 1: streets after school program we started in LA where Nipsey
Speaker 1: Hustle was one of the first kids in our school
Speaker 1: in the eighth grade. So look how far well I've
Speaker 1: been doing over twenty four years. Nobody talk about that.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I'm saying. So if you stop
Speaker 1: me from doing what I'm doing, who are going to
Speaker 1: help these kids? I'm in New Orleans being there for
Speaker 1: over twenty something years, and Memphis been there for over
Speaker 1: twenty years. In California, Louisville, you know I'm battering kids
Speaker 1: paying for it. So I don't. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: measure well by what you have. I measured by what
Speaker 1: you get. And so I want our culture now, people
Speaker 1: to understand that why is we destroying each other? Now?
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, people, I also look at
Speaker 1: it like this, right when we talk about all your
Speaker 1: positive you know you always invited a pair. But if
Speaker 1: somebody owes me money, whether it's twenty years or ten years,
Speaker 1: and it's a misunderstanding, I feel a conversation should be happy,
Speaker 1: not the fact that it's twenty years ago. It don't
Speaker 1: matter for me. Thank God I was blessed enough where
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter now. But I'm saying that was your situation.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, we are in the production thing, right,
Speaker 1: we don't pay for the right, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm asking was there and misunderstand it
Speaker 1: with an agent, product, the production company or man, they
Speaker 1: don't matter because I think people take it out of
Speaker 1: contents because of what's saying instead of looking at you know.
Speaker 1: And I hope one day I could get with her
Speaker 1: and say, because I'm really, I really don't want to
Speaker 1: be in the entertainment business ever again, I'm good. So
Speaker 1: if my kids want to do it, they got to
Speaker 1: do it on their own. I'm good. I want to be.
Speaker 1: I want to be in a product of business, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, because once you grow up and
Speaker 1: we got to show this culture how to live, and
Speaker 1: that's what I want to do. I mean, they got
Speaker 1: you know, even I'm just telling y'all comedians, this throwing
Speaker 1: the people that's gonna do for what you got to
Speaker 1: do for the community and the culture. So with us going,
Speaker 1: who's gonna help? But you know two P two, when
Speaker 1: people get in front of these microphones, you violenttee information
Speaker 1: like you was talking about Meek Mild other Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know how, I guess you kept meeting you wanted
Speaker 1: you didn't want Meet Mild to sign with m MG.
Speaker 1: And then Meek Mill retweeted it and was like, this
Speaker 1: is a lot. Let's let's talk about that when we
Speaker 1: come back. We'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 1: Master Pins here eight hundred five eight five, one oh
Speaker 1: five one. We got more with Pete. Don't move. It's
Speaker 1: the breakfast club, and show me the breakfast club now.
Speaker 1: Master p said he just pulled up on us this morning.
Speaker 1: So the poor mis ladies and poor mins, we just
Speaker 1: we put him in the green room for a sac
Speaker 1: YadA left the og speed gotta let the SPI. So
Speaker 1: you asked the question right before we went to break Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know, everybody gets in front of these microphones
Speaker 1: and they volunteer information like I never knew you managed
Speaker 1: you know, So I want to I want to I
Speaker 1: want to tell you guys about that situation. So I
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to manage Meek Mills. So first, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know Charlie Mack that was and
Speaker 1: so Charlie Mac had him, and then you know he
Speaker 1: Meek wanted to go a different direction, but Charlie MC
Speaker 1: had him under contract. James called Charlie Mac. Then I
Speaker 1: called Charlie Mac. I said, man, this this guy is
Speaker 1: a star. Let him go. Do you know Charlie Mack
Speaker 1: was with Will Smith? And so what happened was it
Speaker 1: was my attorney Rick. But I want to clear that
Speaker 1: up to where I had an opportunity. Me and James
Speaker 1: signed to management contract. But I knew that Meek was
Speaker 1: gonna be a boss at the beginning. He had that
Speaker 1: song called I'm a Boss. He this was a talented guy.
Speaker 1: But my attorney Rick did all the stuff for me
Speaker 1: and me and Jane trying to management contract. And then
Speaker 1: I ended up moving on because I thought that Max
Speaker 1: should be on his own, which you know, he's a
Speaker 1: Boston night all work out. But when I talked about that,
Speaker 1: it was talking about feel you how like you could
Speaker 1: feel and move on and go on, do do something
Speaker 1: else and be successful. So a lot of people think
Speaker 1: that we're just successful right off the top. What this
Speaker 1: was all about showing people how you could feel God
Speaker 1: give you a second chance and move on. Other than that,
Speaker 1: I mean I got a number loving respect for me
Speaker 1: because he reposted it and putting this is a lie,
Speaker 1: but there's no context to that. So of course blog's
Speaker 1: going run with that. Yeah, they they didn't get it,
Speaker 1: but that's that's the truth. So I had an opportunity.
Speaker 1: I walked away from it because I figured, like he's
Speaker 1: the truth, which he turned out to be. So another
Speaker 1: thing that you know, was something I didn't like me
Speaker 1: and Charlemagne didn't like because Charlemagne as for daughters, I
Speaker 1: have six kids. You and your son got into a
Speaker 1: public thing online, which was really bossing because like I
Speaker 1: tell everybody, no matter what, that's family business and a
Speaker 1: lot of time family business. Take time to straight your
Speaker 1: family business out. So you Romeo, y'all, y'all good at
Speaker 1: seeing like now. So that's what I want to tell y'all.
Speaker 1: Man all y'all have kids, so I wouldn't wish this
Speaker 1: on nobody. I love my son, but you know the
Speaker 1: world and change now. You ain't never say it hurt
Speaker 1: me saying nothing about it. I just like like any
Speaker 1: other fail, you you hurt by You don't understand that
Speaker 1: you like what's going on, because everybody try to tell
Speaker 1: us all how to heal. You're not gonna understand my
Speaker 1: pain because you know, you could say Romeo lost his sister.
Speaker 1: I lost a daughter. So it's a different type of pain.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying that that could make somebody snap.
Speaker 1: And so at this time in my life, man, I'm
Speaker 1: just thankful. I'm moving, so I'm doing positive things. I
Speaker 1: wanted to get out you know, because some people think
Speaker 1: I should be a certain way. I can't say at home,
Speaker 1: so I get out here and I just want to
Speaker 1: think the people that's been with me. That's a part
Speaker 1: of it is, but that you are not alone foundation.
Speaker 1: I'm telling like, even we talk about us, I got
Speaker 1: one person in here, pop that came to me and
Speaker 1: say let's do a tour. That was Post Malone, like,
Speaker 1: let's do a concert, not alone concert to help and
Speaker 1: give back because this is serious and so nobody looked
Speaker 1: like us. And so shout out to post Malone and
Speaker 1: his manager Drake Man. I appreciate y'all, Like we're gonna
Speaker 1: do things because this is real. Drugs is killing ovel,
Speaker 1: culturing off kids, and also mental illness, and so like
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going through that. You think
Speaker 1: this because you got money or you are you successful,
Speaker 1: that that your kids are immune to this. Like nobody's
Speaker 1: immune from pain, none of us. Because my brother died
Speaker 1: at nineteen, got another brother in prison, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And my parents, my grandparently, my grandparents, and
Speaker 1: they took us the church every every day, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean every Sunday. So you're not immune from pain that,
Speaker 1: none of that. I just think that it's it's it's
Speaker 1: tough man for a family. So you're good now though,
Speaker 1: because because y'all are South, I mean, if the world
Speaker 1: knows y'all like y'all were best friends, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean that, But think about look how the media
Speaker 1: turn that and Charlemagne No, I mean, we came up
Speaker 1: the Challemaine to talk about why Romeo wanted to get
Speaker 1: off of growing up hip hop, you know, and then
Speaker 1: people each other your flowers when y'all was up pair like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I took that opportunity to think about it. That's what
Speaker 1: we got to realize. Man, nobody's promised, so you got
Speaker 1: to appreciate every day. It's a blessing. So when your
Speaker 1: family men walk out that though, man, I'm like, for
Speaker 1: me as a parent, I get it. My kids are
Speaker 1: not gonna understand everything I do, or somebody else could
Speaker 1: get into somebody in and tell them that, oh you
Speaker 1: need to do this or you deserve I don't have
Speaker 1: all the answers. All I can do is keep growing
Speaker 1: as a man and keep loving my kids. But the
Speaker 1: ones that are old, I got to let them go
Speaker 1: and do what they gotta do, make their mistakes feel
Speaker 1: get over it, like like like I did and so
Speaker 1: but my younger kids, I think it's different because I
Speaker 1: just taught them hard work. And so you imagine as
Speaker 1: a parent, I feel accountable for whatever happens with my
Speaker 1: kids because you know, okay, growing up, you wanted to
Speaker 1: give your kids everything if you're successful. I think that's
Speaker 1: what's happened with a lot of these hip hop parents.
Speaker 1: So we have to change that and just teach our
Speaker 1: kids hard work like other cultures do. And so that's
Speaker 1: the that's the changes that I'm in. Like I'm working
Speaker 1: on myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm growing as a parent.
Speaker 1: And that's why I really got out of the entertainment
Speaker 1: side of this and say, let me focus more on
Speaker 1: the product side. Do you hate the entertainment sign? No,
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I think going for it, But
Speaker 1: I still have to grow up. I want to show
Speaker 1: people in this culture how we can grow up and
Speaker 1: don't don't be afraid to see us where we're at.
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to get older. Shoulder, man, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean you're growing up in this You said you
Speaker 1: wasn't talking the way you talk now, absolutely think about it.
Speaker 1: You're not talking the way you used to talk now.
Speaker 1: So why why people can't allow us to grow up
Speaker 1: and get better? Because we're stronger together. And that's how
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about this, Like we're gonna keep
Speaker 1: one and I think that's what makes me and snoop
Speaker 1: relationship so good because we realized that our lives are
Speaker 1: not perfect, but we got to keep going. We got
Speaker 1: My whole strength is just man, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: I don't have to know everything. I don't have to
Speaker 1: be the boss everything. So I'm gonna show you the
Speaker 1: product that was because you know, you think sometimes that
Speaker 1: people get disgruddled when things don't work out the way
Speaker 1: they wanted to work out. Well, I'm gonna tell y'all,
Speaker 1: so many things didn't work out for me. I feel
Speaker 1: so many times, but I didn't hold my head down.
Speaker 1: So I want people When people say, oh, they with
Speaker 1: no limits, it's so allays And I think that's what
Speaker 1: people come around me. They want what I did twenty
Speaker 1: years ago. But that was twenty years ago. How long
Speaker 1: do a music career last, That's what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: so think about it when you pull up some of
Speaker 1: these things on iTunes. Everybody got products on iTunes, but
Speaker 1: that don't mean to sell it, so you know you
Speaker 1: can invest in something. So that's what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: think we just got to be able to communicate. That's
Speaker 1: why I said today it's gonna be a teachable moment.
Speaker 1: Let's educate the culture how this stuff work. Because people
Speaker 1: see you on TV, they think you're making millions of dollars,
Speaker 1: but that ain't the truth. A lot of these people
Speaker 1: are not making unless you at the top of the game.
Speaker 1: But the people at the bottom is not making millions
Speaker 1: of dollars. People in the music industry right now is
Speaker 1: not making millions of dollars. The ones at the top
Speaker 1: bar but you pull up You guys talk about it
Speaker 1: all the time. The people that that are not making
Speaker 1: money that superstars, their records are not selling that superstar.
Speaker 1: But this is the problem that I have that we
Speaker 1: got to change. We don't go at the other coaches
Speaker 1: the way we go at our culture if we have
Speaker 1: a problem, because I think what it is, we're sitting
Speaker 1: down and eat and hang with people. Yeah, you break
Speaker 1: bread with him. So if you look somebody in the
Speaker 1: eye and you have a conversation with him in their mind,
Speaker 1: master Peers, the person behind all of this, Master Pea,
Speaker 1: the person cutting me to check the even family, think
Speaker 1: about it. Family, when you're not where you want to
Speaker 1: be at, you tell a family member no one time
Speaker 1: they mad with you, they never won't talk to They're
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna put you up, they're gonna blast you,
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So I'm saying, well, guess what,
Speaker 1: won't y'all go do your own thing? Then if you
Speaker 1: don't like the balls, go be the balls. That's what
Speaker 1: I did, and everybody can't be the bass. So that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's why Snooper is so successful to
Speaker 1: where he took what he learned, what I showed him
Speaker 1: and took it to another level. And that's cool, and
Speaker 1: that's how we come to us. So I want to
Speaker 1: show y'all. In June, and even with Snoop, Snoopers complained
Speaker 1: about not getting paid from certain individuals, you know, from
Speaker 1: death for all you who have held the publishing stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, but that's a that's a common thing
Speaker 1: for people to do. Yeah, people are gonna do it.
Speaker 1: But guess what Snoop Now he went and brought the company.
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying. So now we have Snoop Loops.
Speaker 1: So this is bigger than I know a lot of people.
Speaker 1: When we started, it was Snoop Loops. Right, Look, how
Speaker 1: we feel people is like, oh, Snoop Loops, they gonna
Speaker 1: they're gonna make y'all take it off the shelf. And
Speaker 1: they did. Right. We came back and when you changed
Speaker 1: the name to Snoop cereal, that's your second time in
Speaker 1: this year, I remember who who? Yeah? I feel so
Speaker 1: many times, but that's what it takes. So that y'all
Speaker 1: don't realize I lost millions. Damn, I lost millions. So
Speaker 1: and then but I figured the game out Brothers Food,
Speaker 1: which is Snoop Calvin Brods. So think about it. When
Speaker 1: you got when you got catalogs, You've got all these
Speaker 1: different companies. Those are family brands. That's what we taught
Speaker 1: each other how to build our own family brand. And
Speaker 1: so Snoop is the founder of this, I'm gonna CEO
Speaker 1: of the company. And so everybody got a job in
Speaker 1: the roller. Fess why I get out of him from motus.
Speaker 1: Let's think about it. We're feeding families with this. This
Speaker 1: is not just about us. We take we tatling homelessness.
Speaker 1: The more we make the movie gifts. So all right,
Speaker 1: we got more with Master Pele when we come back,
Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, think everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ and V Charlomagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Were still kicking it with Master Pen. I
Speaker 1: don't worry our Drea lex P from The poor Man's
Speaker 1: Podcast and here they're just on in the green room
Speaker 1: right now and we're still kicking it a Master Pa.
Speaker 1: I want to declare something up to because I don't
Speaker 1: want people to take it the wrong way. Now, when
Speaker 1: when you were selling Meek Mill not to sign with Ross,
Speaker 1: it wasn't because Ross was bad. You would just saying
Speaker 1: it's big enough to be independent. He could have did
Speaker 1: it on his own. The thing about it, that's own.
Speaker 1: I'm a boss, go back when time passed that someone
Speaker 1: was already big. Then Ross got on the record. So
Speaker 1: that's the only thing I was saying. Then Ross tell
Speaker 1: tell y'all hisself that he his his business wasn't straight.
Speaker 1: Now you got it together and look where yet now,
Speaker 1: So that's why I was saying about feeling, Man, I
Speaker 1: love these guys. I mean I want them, I want
Speaker 1: I want I want y'all to be able to learn
Speaker 1: from all out of the mistakes. So that's basically what
Speaker 1: it's about. I think the Internet to take it and
Speaker 1: run with it, and that's how we destroying each other.
Speaker 1: So that's why I say I'm gonna focus his own products.
Speaker 1: So that's the that's the And I got one last
Speaker 1: question okay that I thought it was kind of kind
Speaker 1: of crazy. So, uh, your brother was saying that he
Speaker 1: was trying to get hold on the record, I was
Speaker 1: trying to get jays and he said jay Z declined
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars. Was that true? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? That was Silk project. That's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I don't that was so long ago, like that was
Speaker 1: that was my brother. That's what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: want to I don't want people to turn this into
Speaker 1: gotcha you know. So there you go. So how would
Speaker 1: you tell people like Trev even just how how should
Speaker 1: they handle these situations? Something? Reach out to communicate with
Speaker 1: the people. That's it. But I'm just saying, though, like,
Speaker 1: don't just jump off when I like if I was
Speaker 1: in the music even room, even room my own son. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I mean, this is a big part of
Speaker 1: all this. But it's like, Okay, that's fine. But I'm
Speaker 1: keep telling y'all that's what the devil would do. The
Speaker 1: devil want to destroy the people that's gonna get out.
Speaker 1: Like my whole life, if you're gonna look at it,
Speaker 1: has been about helping. I didn't say I've been perfect.
Speaker 1: My life ain't been perfect. I had to move on
Speaker 1: and change and grow. I'm trying to show people we
Speaker 1: can grow. And that's what I'm doing right now. The
Speaker 1: last thing, pe tell us all the things you own
Speaker 1: and we can get because p you always got something
Speaker 1: that we ain't bring. No sneakers today, p Oh, you
Speaker 1: know what I got. So many sneakers go to menat
Speaker 1: dot com right now, come on, I'm gonna stay shin that.
Speaker 1: I ain't wearing no. But you know what, even the
Speaker 1: sneak of business, right bro, I didn't spend so much
Speaker 1: money trying. I even we got to be like the Chinese. Right,
Speaker 1: the Chinese give your order, make you pay for it upfront,
Speaker 1: and then send you the wrong side. You can't do
Speaker 1: nothing about it. You can't do nothing about it, dog
Speaker 1: like you just like okay, whenever I had to change
Speaker 1: the sides on that. But but what I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you what I'm doing next? Oh you got the sports
Speaker 1: talk radio show. Yeah, it's called the Truth. And so
Speaker 1: it's really just about being able to give that entertainment.
Speaker 1: I'm growing. I don't want to go to ESPN and
Speaker 1: nothing I want. I wanted to do this, learn it
Speaker 1: and get better because I I want. I want to
Speaker 1: be in the sports because people don't realize sports. It
Speaker 1: was saved my life. So basketball really took me to
Speaker 1: a whole another level. So being able to do this
Speaker 1: in Louisville, I mean, oh, I gotta show y'all I
Speaker 1: got more products, he got more stuff and Now this
Speaker 1: is good. They're gonna tell y'allself it's good and for
Speaker 1: everybody listening. P just pull up on us this morning,
Speaker 1: and I got things to talk about. Man, let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. Put this on for your pain. You
Speaker 1: see what that's called. Oh, CBD oil key Promax, p Provax.
Speaker 1: You rubbed that on, You got an eight pains. I'm
Speaker 1: taking it away for real, I'm taking it away. I
Speaker 1: got a product, product to product of town. And that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Because think about it, right, when you
Speaker 1: look at these Portun five hundred companies, right, we make
Speaker 1: up a tenth or one percent. I'm talking about CEOs
Speaker 1: of these Portun five hundred company and we spend trillions
Speaker 1: of dollars as African Americans. Why we don't own nothing
Speaker 1: control anything. Also, when you go to Shopify, you go
Speaker 1: to Shopify, I'm not. I got a new company. It's
Speaker 1: called lunch Car. And so now that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Shopify is a sixty three million dollars sixty three billion
Speaker 1: dollar company. We gotta start thinking building things to compete
Speaker 1: and and and be able to grow things and give
Speaker 1: our people opportunity. And so that's what I'm doing. I'm
Speaker 1: like constantly thinking and because we can't take none of
Speaker 1: this with her, We can't take when you die, they
Speaker 1: ain't gonna You know, this is a sad thing about
Speaker 1: it too, y'all. When we do die, they're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about how great we was. But while we're here thinking
Speaker 1: about it. No, if Biggie and Tupart was here, man,
Speaker 1: they'll be going through so much right now. But but
Speaker 1: like even Nipsey, all the stuff Nipsey did, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he went platinum when he died, we gotta
Speaker 1: stop with be honest with you. For me, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna let him look at my face. They might as
Speaker 1: well cream make me. I don't want no fakers looking
Speaker 1: in my face talking about they missed me and all that.
Speaker 1: I don't want it. Even everybody that died, that's an
Speaker 1: entertainment this world are now looking at it. We didn't
Speaker 1: appreciate the people why they was here, right, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta start appreciate each other while we're here. And
Speaker 1: I think that's basically what it is. The journey is gonna.
Speaker 1: I love the journey. I love the products, I love
Speaker 1: creating things, and I love my people. And so if
Speaker 1: I can educate my people. I'm tired of this. We're
Speaker 1: just gonna entertain our people. Let's educate our people, because
Speaker 1: the bide will say, pray for wisdom, master, p ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Pete, we appreciate you for pulling up. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: it's the breakfast Club the morning, it's time for Donkey
Speaker 1: of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Dunky of
Speaker 1: the day a little bit of a mixture. So like
Speaker 1: a donkey the other day. Bitches. Now, I've been called
Speaker 1: a lot of my twenty three years, but Donkey of
Speaker 1: the Day is a new wife. Donkey the Day goes
Speaker 1: to a young lady named Madison Marie rus So. She's
Speaker 1: nineteen years old. She hails from Iowa, and she is
Speaker 1: the reason that when people send me go fund me
Speaker 1: is my first reaction is go f yourself. Okay, you
Speaker 1: know why because in this cash I've been Mozelle go
Speaker 1: fund me era, people be kind instantly asking for things,
Speaker 1: and they'd be asking for things that some of us
Speaker 1: used to have to work to get. For example, you
Speaker 1: don't need to go fund me because you need tin
Speaker 1: on your windows. Okay, all right, thank you, sim all right,
Speaker 1: don't you don't need me to cash, have you because
Speaker 1: you want to go to Miami for the weekend? All right?
Speaker 1: I used to get those kind of requests often, but
Speaker 1: I think folks realize that's not the way to get
Speaker 1: money out of people. The way to get money out
Speaker 1: of people is to have a story, and not just
Speaker 1: any story, a story that pulls out people's heart strings. Okay,
Speaker 1: you gotta have a SOB story. I'm talking Cleo right
Speaker 1: before she accepted that she was about to go out
Speaker 1: in the blaze of glory and set it off. I'm
Speaker 1: talking Ricky getting shot in the backing boys in the Hood.
Speaker 1: I'm talking when Charlotte and Charlotte's Webb dies because she
Speaker 1: has reached the end of her lifespan sidebar. Wilbur is
Speaker 1: the reason Charlotte died, all right. She doing all that
Speaker 1: damned graffiti with her web right now, full messages to
Speaker 1: show how special Wilber was when the reality is his
Speaker 1: fate was to be baking. Okay, wal poor Charlotte out
Speaker 1: physically and emotionally. Charlotte sacrificed her own well being for Wilbur,
Speaker 1: dropping a clue's bomb for Charlotte Chote what a selfless spider.
Speaker 1: She was okay, but your story to receive money from
Speaker 1: complete scranges have to be that sad, which actually means
Speaker 1: it has to be that good. And this woman Madison
Speaker 1: from Iowa, Oh, she's one of those people who had
Speaker 1: a really good, sad story. This woman was able to
Speaker 1: raise thirty seven thousand dollars from Daunus thirty seven thousand
Speaker 1: dollars thirty seven recks. How was she able to get
Speaker 1: this money? Let's go to News eight for the report. Please,
Speaker 1: hi everyone, my name is Maddie Russel and this is
Speaker 1: my story. A LinkedIn video of nineteen year old Mattie
Speaker 1: Russo explaining her supposed cancer diagnosis. She claims she was
Speaker 1: diagnosed with stage two pancreatic cancer, acute limphoblastic leukemia, and
Speaker 1: told there was a football sized tumor wrapped around her spine.
Speaker 1: Since then, Russo has talked about going through cancer with
Speaker 1: the National Pancreas Foundation in Chicago. She's also been on
Speaker 1: a podcast for Project Purple Online, a group on a
Speaker 1: mission to find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Her stories
Speaker 1: on both platforms have since been removed. A go fund
Speaker 1: me fundraiser was started titled Maddie's Fight against Pancreatic Cancer.
Speaker 1: Tom Bouland was listed as who started the donation page.
Speaker 1: As you can see, it raised nearly thirty eight thousand
Speaker 1: dollars from more than four hundred donors By Tuesday. The
Speaker 1: go fund me page was taken down. Go fund Me
Speaker 1: releasing a statement Tuesday saying they have a zero tolerance
Speaker 1: policy for misuse of our platform and the group is
Speaker 1: guaranteeing a full refund to donors. I really don't understand
Speaker 1: people like her. If you could take the time and
Speaker 1: energy to create this elaborate false story about having a
Speaker 1: stage two cancer diagnosis with a tumor, then guess what.
Speaker 1: You can write a script? Okay, you can write a novel,
Speaker 1: all right, how about write about your dock side instead
Speaker 1: of leaning into it. Because what happens in these situations
Speaker 1: is you make it bad for a person who's really
Speaker 1: dealing with cancer and would and who would love to
Speaker 1: have thirty seven thousand dollars to deal with their medical bills,
Speaker 1: but because of folks like you, Okay, folks like me
Speaker 1: will come across these requests and deny them simply because
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. You need more people. All right,
Speaker 1: this one had a fake stash and medical supplies. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Anne wigs in her apartment. Girl,
Speaker 1: you could have been throwing place. Okay. You could be
Speaker 1: the next Style of Period, the next Jordan Cooper, the
Speaker 1: next August Wilson. But instead of being America's next top playwright,
Speaker 1: you decided to compete in America's got your cameras. I
Speaker 1: don't feel sorry for you, man, Okay, I just hate
Speaker 1: to waste the talent because anyone who can come up
Speaker 1: with lavish, successful schemes like this can use that same
Speaker 1: time and energy figure it out a way to mix
Speaker 1: some money legally. Okay. Also, I was born in the
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred. Okay, yo old uncle Charlotte and took a
Speaker 1: few laps around the sun, and I'm from the era
Speaker 1: with certain things. I just wasn't pretending to be because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to actually be. That's how it was.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to park in the handicap spot just
Speaker 1: because I had the handicap decap. Okay, I wasn't parking
Speaker 1: in the handicap spot getting out limping because I was taught.
Speaker 1: You played like that, you may end up handicapped for
Speaker 1: real faking sick, no, sir, not me. Hell I tell
Speaker 1: my kids that now. I don't play about stuff like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: if something is really wrong, by all means, let me know,
Speaker 1: but don't pretend, because you really might end up that way.
Speaker 1: Madison nineteen years old from Iowa clearly got none of
Speaker 1: thold lessons in life, and now she's facing ten years
Speaker 1: in prison because she wants to lie. And I hope
Speaker 1: maybe she can get at least six months, six months.
Speaker 1: She can just be in there with some some tough women,
Speaker 1: you know, some tough women that sleeping box of briefs. Okay,
Speaker 1: please get Madison Marie Russo the sweet sounds of the
Speaker 1: Hamletones you dogkee oh the day, yeah, dog oh the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah me six months for a scam that elaborate, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, making light of something that has
Speaker 1: taken so many people's lives. At least low six months
Speaker 1: in a prison, you know what I mean? All right,
Speaker 1: just let us all let a room with some tough
Speaker 1: women that wear box of briefs, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's all that scam scrap. Oh, come, that's it. What's
Speaker 1: the background. We're gonna play games, Okay, Okay, I guess
Speaker 1: it's time to play a game of guess what rati?
Speaker 1: All right, Madison Marie Russo, nineteen years old of Iowa
Speaker 1: did a scam where she said she had stage two
Speaker 1: cancer and a big ass tumor. She got thirty seven
Speaker 1: thousand dollars from donors. Guys, what ratio is completely white? Why?
Speaker 1: Completely white? Not even off white? Just completely white white
Speaker 1: completely not completely white? Him uh dj n Yes, Madison
Speaker 1: Marie rosso Or nineteen years old from Iowa, U scam
Speaker 1: thirty seven racks out of people by lying about having
Speaker 1: stage two cancer diagnosis and a tumor. Yess what ratio
Speaker 1: is white? I'm with you. Black people ain't gonna pay
Speaker 1: with ale miss, like they ain't gonna say ain't got sick?
Speaker 1: And then I don't think people are gonna get black
Speaker 1: people money like that bad love. That's right. I just
Speaker 1: had a whole conversation about how certain black people don't
Speaker 1: want to go to the doctor. So I ain't about
Speaker 1: to play about being what I'm saying. Both of you
Speaker 1: are absolutely correct. I didn't send Marie Russo is completely white,
Speaker 1: completely white the breakfast club and it was just something
Speaker 1: about his charisma and his energy, Like whatever he said
Speaker 1: he wanted to do in his life, thus far, he
Speaker 1: had gotten it. So I was like, oh, this this
Speaker 1: could be something. Did you know she was the one
Speaker 1: he was the first time about Nah, actually, man, man,
Speaker 1: that's gonna hit me with the Kevin Harten. I didn't
Speaker 1: say no like that, like damn, we're talking our podcasts
Speaker 1: and we said in the book like she told me
Speaker 1: she loved me. After two weeks and I was like,
Speaker 1: thanks much. I didn't know not turn off. It could
Speaker 1: have been eighteen No, I said thanks. And the reason
Speaker 1: why I said thanks and I still came back for
Speaker 1: more after the things right, So he was the crazy one.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing though, I said thanks because I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to lead her on. Am
Speaker 1: I going to be a liar and be like I
Speaker 1: love you and then not know if we're gonna be together?
Speaker 1: So I was like I didn't know what to say,
Speaker 1: so I said thanks. It makes me think, like, can
Speaker 1: you have a future someone if you can't see a
Speaker 1: future with someone like you saw the future with him?
Speaker 1: Yeah I did, And it's funny. It's just the vibe
Speaker 1: I think that we had from early. It was just
Speaker 1: talking about hopes and dreams, and he always spoke like
Speaker 1: a guy that was just far beyond his years, like
Speaker 1: even with plans for what he wants to do financially
Speaker 1: with his life and his future. And he knew that
Speaker 1: he didn't want to play football long term. He wanted
Speaker 1: to eventually be an actor. So I'm like, well, how
Speaker 1: are you gonna do that? He's like, I'm gonna ride
Speaker 1: out on the scholarship. I'm gonna see if I could
Speaker 1: make the NFL. If I'm at least on the practice squad,
Speaker 1: I can make a little money to build a little
Speaker 1: nest egg, move back to Brooklyn and get around so renovated.
Speaker 1: We live on the bottom floor, like we had a
Speaker 1: whole thing planned. That was the first date. We talked
Speaker 1: about that on the first day. First day. And when
Speaker 1: I think about it yourself, eighteen year old kids don't
Speaker 1: speak about building their life like that. But when I remember,
Speaker 1: if they think I was thinking like that at eighteen,
Speaker 1: So did you ever think because he played football he
Speaker 1: was an athlete, like, oh, he's gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those Oh, absolutely absolutely. People warned me too, They were like, oh, like,
Speaker 1: don't even get too involved, especially once time came for
Speaker 1: the NFL and he was a prospect. They were like,
Speaker 1: this is the part where you guys go your separate ways.
Speaker 1: Let him. So was Willow, you focus on what you
Speaker 1: gotta focus on, and if you make it out on
Speaker 1: top after he's out there with these NFL groupies, then
Speaker 1: maybe things will work out. And they went both ways.
Speaker 1: They told me when I went to go play football,
Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna wait for me. She was still in schools.
Speaker 1: You get her masters degree. Everybody's like, you think while
Speaker 1: you playing ball, she's gonna be sitting back at how
Speaker 1: she just waiting for you to come back. And it
Speaker 1: was part to me. I was like, dang, that's a
Speaker 1: tall tax. And it made me insecure. Like there's a
Speaker 1: story we talked about in the book when we couldn't
Speaker 1: find her for a day. She was coming back from
Speaker 1: tracks in Brooklyn. Yeah, it was like a little lounge
Speaker 1: I used to go to every Thursday with my home girls.
Speaker 1: And she ran into her uncle on the way back
Speaker 1: and he was like, you're not driving back to Long Island.
Speaker 1: You're gonna come stay when you know you were drinking
Speaker 1: or whatever, and he was She's like, I wasn't drinking.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna meal. So he went to stay. She went stay,
Speaker 1: uncle fell asleep, left her car, her phone in the car.
Speaker 1: She always calls me when she gets back. So now
Speaker 1: I'm in the locker room, I'm getting ready for team meetings,
Speaker 1: and I don't get no phone call. I don't get
Speaker 1: no phone call at all. I wish woman understood that
Speaker 1: what I really do not want you understand how that
Speaker 1: makes us feel when you talk about it, bro, because
Speaker 1: I used to tell her all the time, like how
Speaker 1: do you not call me when you get places to
Speaker 1: this day? So now I'm in the locker room, NFL rookie.
Speaker 1: I didn't even get to practice. I didn't get to
Speaker 1: practice because after that, her mom called me to, hey,
Speaker 1: we haven't heard from now you cry? You cry? What?
Speaker 1: No nasty snot? Somebody got my good man? Like I'm
Speaker 1: crying balling. Then my mom calls me, Um, I think
Speaker 1: you should come home. So now I'm thinking they found
Speaker 1: her and they don't want to tell me because I'm
Speaker 1: buying myself in Detroit. So I go to the security office.
Speaker 1: I go to my the NFL securities office. I'm like, yo, um,
Speaker 1: they can't find my girlfriend and they've been having issues
Speaker 1: with people breaking in people's house, taking people's family members.
Speaker 1: This happens in the league a lot. We're taking for ransom,
Speaker 1: all of you. So they're like, all right, you know
Speaker 1: we're gonna get our people involved. They called FBI, they
Speaker 1: broke into her phone, they called campus security, broke into everything,
Speaker 1: like text menures everything right, They're like, we have nothing,
Speaker 1: We found nothing, like, we don't know where she give
Speaker 1: me a time to man, how long? What's that matter
Speaker 1: of dropped her? My friend? Another thing that you support
Speaker 1: int to mention. This guy parked me into my parking
Speaker 1: spot and wouldn't let me out the spot unless I
Speaker 1: gave him my number. That's the last conversation she had
Speaker 1: we had on the just like it was like, no,
Speaker 1: I need your number, and I'm like, I'm really trying
Speaker 1: to get this parking spot. So he was trying to
Speaker 1: bullieve me to get my number, and I told him
Speaker 1: that what was happening, So he thought for sure, homeboy
Speaker 1: follow me. Yeah, And I wasn't even thinking to put
Speaker 1: two and two together. So it's about maybe two am,
Speaker 1: but a yeah, and literally as I turned the block,
Speaker 1: I pull up and my uncle looks and He's like
Speaker 1: ky and I was like yeah, uncle Emil big time.
Speaker 1: Protected like you're not driving. He was like you about
Speaker 1: to drive to Long Island and yeah. I was missing
Speaker 1: for about two am to ten am and then she
Speaker 1: got to her phone. It was just like, yo, what's
Speaker 1: going on? Yeah? I woke up. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: where's my phone. I get to the car and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it's dead. The man I turned the
Speaker 1: phone on. It's like forty eight text messages, thirty something voicemails.
Speaker 1: My mom is in tears. She was like, don't you
Speaker 1: ever do that again? Develos on his way home. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what that part? And I was just wanting to make
Speaker 1: it to practice lines got me to flight. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm on my way to the airport. My
Speaker 1: phone rings. At first when I was calling her, it
Speaker 1: went dead. Now I'm like, they got her phone, They
Speaker 1: turned it off. They sending me the voicemail. Then I
Speaker 1: see a phone call from the boss. I got in.
Speaker 1: There's the boss and I'm like, not about to ask
Speaker 1: you for some money? Whoever? This is about I ask
Speaker 1: some money? So I pick up the phone. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm like who She's like, babe, baby, I tell
Speaker 1: you everything I went through. Right, you would think my
Speaker 1: wife learned right again, what happened this past weekend? Again,
Speaker 1: it wasn't that she went to get a massage, right,
Speaker 1: and she texts me, Hey, babe, I'm here. I'll be
Speaker 1: on my way home. I'll be home at six. Right,
Speaker 1: it's five forty five. I'm thinking she gotta be on
Speaker 1: her way home. Of course, I'm calling like ten minutes straight.
Speaker 1: Now I'm in a car, I'm about to pull out.
Speaker 1: I get phone call. Hey man, I'm like, bro, I'm
Speaker 1: my kids phone. My wife is sixty. I got through
Speaker 1: sixty three sixty. You know what's crazy? But what pisses
Speaker 1: you off the Moses, how nonchalant they act like it's
Speaker 1: nothing learnt that black. I was just on the massage table. Man.
Speaker 1: I don't know why our minds worked like that, but
Speaker 1: we think the worst, worst possible, an argument like after that,
Speaker 1: because now you kids just can't let her Liftc's the
Speaker 1: second time you gotta give a grace you talk about
Speaker 1: in the new book. You have to give you your
Speaker 1: partner Greece. Yes, yes, that's the biggest thing for us
Speaker 1: is learning how to communicate. You know, we came from
Speaker 1: different communication style, polar opposite. I grew up at an athlete.
Speaker 1: Nothing was ever good enough for my parents. They were
Speaker 1: always being hard on me like that. Then my football
Speaker 1: coaches extremely hard on me, but that made me successful.
Speaker 1: So I felt like, if you love someone and you
Speaker 1: want them to be successful, you should be hard on them.
Speaker 1: So I used to be hard on my girlfriend if
Speaker 1: I saw that she wanted to do something to send,
Speaker 1: which she was like, how are we gonna do that?
Speaker 1: She said she wanted to do TV. How are we
Speaker 1: gonna do it? I'm on her, Oh, TV, they weigh
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty pounds. You need to be in
Speaker 1: the gym. What are your grades? Like, you said you
Speaker 1: wanted to do this, you need to record more content,
Speaker 1: And she'd be like, bro, I thought I was doing
Speaker 1: the right thing. And after five years of marriage, that's
Speaker 1: when I kind of realized he was taking the football approach.
Speaker 1: He thought it was like, I'm a teammate, yes, but
Speaker 1: I'm not like a teammate on the football field. So
Speaker 1: coming from a background where my family really like had
Speaker 1: extensive conversations about anything, it was more so if something
Speaker 1: happened you didn't feel so good about it. You feel
Speaker 1: a way it'll blow over. Let's just sweep it under
Speaker 1: the rug. So attacking things head on, communicating about problems,
Speaker 1: talking about how you felt like this was a huge
Speaker 1: learning curve for me. We're just figuring out how to
Speaker 1: both of us just eloquently even expressed or formulate in
Speaker 1: my mind, how to tell him how I felt about it.
Speaker 1: So people see us now and they're like, man, I
Speaker 1: want to find me a Devot. I want to find
Speaker 1: me a Codeine. So we're like, well, Devalikade, you see
Speaker 1: today is not the Devalide that first met each other.
Speaker 1: This is twenty years in the making. We have more
Speaker 1: with Cadein and de Vouls. When we come back that
Speaker 1: book we over me. It's out today. It's the breakfast
Speaker 1: club of morning. We're still kicking it with Codeine and
Speaker 1: Devout Charlemagne. You know, in the book, y'all talk about
Speaker 1: friendship and how friendship is the core of the relationship,
Speaker 1: which I agree with too, But some people would say
Speaker 1: a love should be the core of a relationship over friendship.
Speaker 1: What would y'all say that? I would say this, More
Speaker 1: friendships last than intimate partners. People have boyfriends and girlfriends
Speaker 1: in and out of their entire life. But some people
Speaker 1: have friends their whole life, and those friends are allowed grace. Right,
Speaker 1: You have friends that may do something to you like
Speaker 1: that's my homeboy. We'll figure it out. But a lot
Speaker 1: of times when this love that's like you hurt me,
Speaker 1: and when you hurt me, I can't take I can't
Speaker 1: you know, rekindle that hurt. This is what we've learned
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. I no longer try
Speaker 1: to validate my actions by dismissing the way she feels
Speaker 1: about it, you know. And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: times in intimate relationships, not in friendships, people do that.
Speaker 1: If your friend is hurt by something, a lot of times,
Speaker 1: as your friend, you'd be like, oh my bad, I
Speaker 1: ain't mean to hurt your feelings. But then when your
Speaker 1: girl does something or your girl's feelings are hurt, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to hurt you. I did it like this,
Speaker 1: and you shouldn't be hurt. You can't tell people not
Speaker 1: to be hurt by something you did. They didn't ask
Speaker 1: to be hurt. They hurt. So what we've learned how
Speaker 1: to do was just accept the other's feelings. You feel
Speaker 1: that way, I'm gonna explain to you why I did it.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to hurt you, but I accept the
Speaker 1: fact that you feel that way. And it's not just
Speaker 1: a for a man to do to a woman. I'd
Speaker 1: be wanting my feelings to be validated to you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, that's and that's the manliest thing
Speaker 1: I can say about it. When my wife started to
Speaker 1: validate my feelings and say she understands how I feel,
Speaker 1: she didn't always agree, but she understood, I said, at
Speaker 1: least if you can understand, can move forward. And that's
Speaker 1: that's why I feel like friendship to me is the foundation,
Speaker 1: because you have funds for life. Now let me ask
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think about that? No? I think, um,
Speaker 1: he's spot on with that. And it's funny. For a
Speaker 1: while with Devout, I would encourage him to speak his
Speaker 1: mind and say how he felt, and then at the
Speaker 1: same time be like, man, you're bitching and moaning every
Speaker 1: day about something like literally, I was like, since when
Speaker 1: did the feeling she become what you said? We will
Speaker 1: have been a discussion, right, And this is for the
Speaker 1: first time in my life. I was just like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, this is how I fell to
Speaker 1: hurt my feelings, and I'm going through what I hurt
Speaker 1: my feelings. She goes, sound like a damn it man,
Speaker 1: how do you respond? So me being a very immature
Speaker 1: person as I am, I said, I don't got to
Speaker 1: sound like a I can get me another because now
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hurt her like we were like twenty
Speaker 1: six immature. But and we tell these stories in the
Speaker 1: book because we like to tell people the stories too
Speaker 1: through the trauma. I'm not gonna make it seem like
Speaker 1: everything was picture perfect, because when people fall into a
Speaker 1: situation in relationship where they hurting each other, they feel
Speaker 1: like I'm the only relationship going through this. And since
Speaker 1: I'm the only relationship going through this, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: out of here. But nah, were just like, listen, that
Speaker 1: hurt my feelings. That hurt my feelings. I don't mean
Speaker 1: to do that. I didn't mean to say that. How
Speaker 1: can we get back to what we want to do?
Speaker 1: We try to. I try to encourage it now too,
Speaker 1: because I mean so often women are trying to pull
Speaker 1: at their men to tell them how do you feel
Speaker 1: what do you need? What do you want? And the
Speaker 1: fact that I have a Husbandhod I think is sometimes
Speaker 1: even an oversharer, like sometimes we just talk like for us,
Speaker 1: marriage seems to be one continued long conversation, like it
Speaker 1: just never ends, like we're always talking about something. So
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's been our saving race for us.
Speaker 1: It's like just being upfront about how we feel off
Speaker 1: the bat, so there's no guessing involved. Now he's acting now,
Speaker 1: or he's been acting for a long time now, So
Speaker 1: did you ever have a problem with him lip locking
Speaker 1: with others? How looky like this? Really? Well, let me
Speaker 1: tell you, queen, queen, now we're extending my poorn vocabulary.
Speaker 1: But anyway, no, I actually I think because I understand
Speaker 1: the industry and I realized, like, these sex scenes ain't
Speaker 1: really nothing super sexy about it. I think about the
Speaker 1: environment that he's in when they're actually filming that. Um.
Speaker 1: But a funny story. Two years ago, actually almost two
Speaker 1: years he was filming an episode of Sisters or a
Speaker 1: season of Sisters. So I'm simultaneously watching the episodes that
Speaker 1: are on air, and he warns me that he has
Speaker 1: this shower scene coming up with his coast or Crystal.
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, all right, and he was
Speaker 1: just like just so you know, like it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a little intense. And I'm like, how intense is going
Speaker 1: to be for BT? Like that's bet. So the episode
Speaker 1: comes on and I see the valve got Crystal like
Speaker 1: legs over his shoulder. She's up against the shower wall.
Speaker 1: It's a blue light and I'm then it's just going
Speaker 1: and it's going and I'm like, oh, that's what we're doing, right.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, that's what we doing? Okay? Cool? So
Speaker 1: what I did. I go on Amazon. I was like,
Speaker 1: blue light bulb. So I ordered me a blue light bulb,
Speaker 1: a blue light bulb, and the lamp came to the door.
Speaker 1: I screwed that join in. He came home one day
Speaker 1: before Valentine's Day and I was like, oh you hear.
Speaker 1: I went put that thing together, put the blue light on.
Speaker 1: We only had the air mattress in the bedroom at
Speaker 1: this point. And let me tell you, got to work
Speaker 1: in our son, Dakota the product of the Blue which
Speaker 1: is kind of weird because it was inspired from a
Speaker 1: scene between him and Crystals his godmother. Actually yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's you know, born months later, So I can't tell
Speaker 1: him that story. I don't think I'll save the I
Speaker 1: can't tell him like, oh, you were documented. But I
Speaker 1: will say this though, I'm very deliberate. I'm making sure
Speaker 1: that she is in contact with the women that I
Speaker 1: have these scenes were so for example, when we did
Speaker 1: our chemistry read me and Crystal, Crystal face timed her
Speaker 1: let her know beforehand, like, you know, we have some
Speaker 1: sex scenes to me. I don't want it to ever
Speaker 1: be a thing where she feels uncomfortable. You go to
Speaker 1: a red carpet or you go to an event, and
Speaker 1: that's the woman that I had a sex scene within.
Speaker 1: It's the first time you have a meter. It's like, nah,
Speaker 1: y'all have this conversation beforehand. I'm always respectful, especially to
Speaker 1: my costars, like I'm never going to cross that line
Speaker 1: because after the whole Me Too movement, you realize how
Speaker 1: easy it is for someone to feel uncomfortable in your presence.
Speaker 1: Have you ever felt uncomfortable in the workplace. I've never
Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable, to be honest, and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: out anybody, but women are very sexual to as a workplace.
Speaker 1: You know, they say stuff they you know, a woman, mate,
Speaker 1: smack you on the butt if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If they think it's just that type of environment, and
Speaker 1: you may feel comfortable as a man saying oh, if
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing, that's what we're doing. But what
Speaker 1: I equated to, which may not be right, is kind
Speaker 1: of like I can make a joke on a white boy.
Speaker 1: If you make a joke on me about my blackness,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pissed. Right if a woman says something
Speaker 1: to me about my physique, I'm gonna eat that. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna now just comment about her body every time
Speaker 1: I see her. You don't know that sounds crazy? Let
Speaker 1: me ask your questions, right. So, people got on me
Speaker 1: about a couple of weeks ago because my wife went
Speaker 1: on a twenty day trip. Yeah I see, and they
Speaker 1: were like, how dare you? How you let her go
Speaker 1: on the scene? Would you let your wife go on
Speaker 1: to twenty day trip? So here's here's my thing. I
Speaker 1: don't know how she would survive without me and the
Speaker 1: kids for twenty days and she would spend the whole
Speaker 1: time calling me first time the kids and it wouldn't
Speaker 1: out of me, right, me, I don't know how I
Speaker 1: would survive without my wife for twenty days. If Kay
Speaker 1: tells me she wants to do something, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: one hundred percent behind it. But it was also a
Speaker 1: challenge to me six kids, no wife, I mean, and
Speaker 1: you could do that, Bro, I'm just sixty. You could
Speaker 1: do that. The math on work was hard. I ain't
Speaker 1: even gonna third grade. Third grade because that's what the
Speaker 1: common mass started to regroup of the common cord. Bro, Bro, me,
Speaker 1: you're on everything. Me and Jackson almost came to blows
Speaker 1: because I was trying to tell him old school carried
Speaker 1: the one and he's like, no, you got to make
Speaker 1: it go to ten. And they're like, I've been I've
Speaker 1: been doing math my whole life. You put put the
Speaker 1: one on top of that, cross the eight on and
Speaker 1: he was just like no. I said, you gonna tell
Speaker 1: me no, I'm your father. I don't care what your
Speaker 1: teach to say. Who was right? He was right to
Speaker 1: make all the equations go to ten for some reason? Yes,
Speaker 1: And then it comes back around about answer when you
Speaker 1: could have easily did it in three seconds. And I said,
Speaker 1: I am not having a stroke trying to figure this
Speaker 1: out with my eight year old. Yeah, I've been getting
Speaker 1: at assignment to my wife raised and they come home
Speaker 1: like dad is bad. So we had Lola up here
Speaker 1: against host and I see that I didn't see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she came to mind it because her clip on people
Speaker 1: not wanting to be married now or aspiring to me different.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's a case by case basis,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. It's not something that's highlighted is the
Speaker 1: best thing all the time. Right, So I think the
Speaker 1: val and I much like many other couples, because why
Speaker 1: does this kept We're not an anomaly, Like there are
Speaker 1: a lot of like you're a happily married man, happily marriedment.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of happily married people running around.
Speaker 1: So I just feel like by us sharing more of
Speaker 1: those stories, it's a way to kind of help the
Speaker 1: narrative around marriage, but also too, like I said earlier,
Speaker 1: making sure people know, like do I aspire to marriage? Right?
Speaker 1: You can't find somebody and be like, oh, well, this
Speaker 1: person makes me want to be married, because what happens
Speaker 1: that puts the onus on that person to always be
Speaker 1: this perfect image of what you were, what they were
Speaker 1: when they met you were, you know, and that put
Speaker 1: that's so much pressure on one person. So what if
Speaker 1: they falter, what if they change, what if they outgrow something?
Speaker 1: Then are you still a marriage person or not? You
Speaker 1: know so I think you really need to decide, like
Speaker 1: is that something you aspire to first and then go
Speaker 1: from there. We have more with Cadeen and the vow Las.
Speaker 1: When we come back that book, we over me. It's
Speaker 1: out today. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, The Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club body is DJ Envy Charlemagne the god ray j
Speaker 1: Our co host. We're still kicking it with Codeine de
Speaker 1: vois Chage Yea. I have a chapter called There's a
Speaker 1: Marriage after this Wedding? Break that down. So while we
Speaker 1: were writing the book, we had discussed what I thought
Speaker 1: process was about getting engaged in being married, and Kadein
Speaker 1: had admitted that she had never really thought about the marriage. Nope, anytime,
Speaker 1: anytime I had conversations with anyone regarding marriage or the wedding,
Speaker 1: it was the wedding. It was you know, what dress
Speaker 1: are you going to get? And who's the florist, and
Speaker 1: it was the planning of the day. At no point
Speaker 1: in time did anyone pull me aside and say kadein like,
Speaker 1: once you get married, here are some things to expect, right.
Speaker 1: You watch these Disney movies and it says happily ever after,
Speaker 1: no one sees what happens after they ride off into
Speaker 1: the sunset. So I felt like I was left in
Speaker 1: the dark. I feel like it was a setup. I
Speaker 1: felt like nobody prepped me on anything. And then I
Speaker 1: think there was also a beauty in that though, because
Speaker 1: I felt like if I were to get advice from
Speaker 1: aunt's uncles or grandmothers, it might have also been their
Speaker 1: jaded perspective of what their marriage was like, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that could have been a turnoff too. But it was
Speaker 1: particularly difficult because I just did not think about or
Speaker 1: plan for what life was going to look like after
Speaker 1: the wedding. So the pressure comment had triggered a lot
Speaker 1: of women because they felt like, oh, so she pressured
Speaker 1: you to get married, And I was like, it wasn't
Speaker 1: the pressure to get married. It was the pressure to
Speaker 1: take care of all of the responsibilities once you decide
Speaker 1: you're going to marry a woman. For example, I have
Speaker 1: to save the money to get you a ring, I
Speaker 1: have to decide how we're going to propose. I have
Speaker 1: to decide after we get married, what else our life
Speaker 1: gonna look like if we have financial issues. No one
Speaker 1: ever says, what's your wife doing? They always look at
Speaker 1: me as a husband and be like So there was
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on me to make sure that
Speaker 1: I'm doing everything that I can to be the husband
Speaker 1: and I want to be on top of that. Once
Speaker 1: I proposed, I had got cut six weeks after by
Speaker 1: the NFL, so I didn't have a job. So there
Speaker 1: was a lot of pressure on me because I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: I was in the NFL when I proposed, and now
Speaker 1: we're planning a wedding and I'm no longer in the NFL.
Speaker 1: How do I sustain the lifestyle of someone who was
Speaker 1: making a half a million dollars a year when I
Speaker 1: make no money. So yeah, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure on me. But I understand how a lot of
Speaker 1: woman could have taken that word pressure and felt triggered
Speaker 1: by it. But to me, I'm like, as the man,
Speaker 1: I didn't care about the wedding at all. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I was focused on the marriage. I said, Okay, after
Speaker 1: we get married, where we're gonna live. What are you
Speaker 1: gonna do for work? What am I gonna do for
Speaker 1: work all? We're gonna have children? How most men feel
Speaker 1: because I look at it the same way, like we
Speaker 1: spend all this money for this, Yeah right, if that,
Speaker 1: Let's do the future, Let's do the house, let's do
Speaker 1: the savings investment, let's do this because that's just for
Speaker 1: the show. Bro other day and James Wilson said, it's
Speaker 1: my guy, let's get he said, me and my wife
Speaker 1: got it together together on that come up. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like we worry about things that it's
Speaker 1: what you got a partner for. She's gonna be with
Speaker 1: you if she's a real woman. That's the fact. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about it. After the whole wedding situation happened and
Speaker 1: then we went back, you know, the wedding was over,
Speaker 1: you know, it's spend for yourself. At this point, ye
Speaker 1: Dive looked at me and he said, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to go to Canada because he had an
Speaker 1: opportunity to play ball in Canada. He said, y'all want
Speaker 1: to start a business and maybe work towards this acting career.
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, well, what we gotta
Speaker 1: do on everything? We had a house, I was in Michigan.
Speaker 1: It was on acre. Who's on an acre? Four bedrooms,
Speaker 1: five bathrooms, living room, dining them everything. Now we're back
Speaker 1: in an apartment in Crown Heights and she's on the bus.
Speaker 1: When I tell you my ego was freaking crushed, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I should sit in the bathroom. Sometimes I go in
Speaker 1: the bathroom, go on the bathroom. Babe. I'd be on
Speaker 1: the toilet, just sitting there, just like like, how did
Speaker 1: I end up back here? And I got this woman
Speaker 1: that I asked to be my wife, and now she
Speaker 1: got to go to the mall and work. Like imagine
Speaker 1: you tell a woman, yeah, I'm gonna be an actor.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play football no more. I don't
Speaker 1: know how I'm gonna be an actor, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be an actor. A matter of fact, I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: a gym. I don't have no experience in kinesiology. But
Speaker 1: you tell your woman is and she goes, Okay, how
Speaker 1: are we gonna do that? You gotta tell me that. Imagine.
Speaker 1: I know y'all both been through it. So when you
Speaker 1: when you hear like when people say you know why
Speaker 1: you love marriage so much? That's why I got a
Speaker 1: partner row when when it was the worst or the worst,
Speaker 1: I could not right here, how many days did we
Speaker 1: eat ritz? Yo? This is after the NFL grit Rist today.
Speaker 1: That might be why that's Jackson, our old listen loves
Speaker 1: gritz and eggs like that's the thing. And it might
Speaker 1: be because three times a day I was not trying
Speaker 1: to go buy those stakes. The hungry buddy with you
Speaker 1: on breakfast. You want breakfast, breast, gritsain eggs every day.
Speaker 1: Can we give some of these books away? We got
Speaker 1: to a pair. We over me man, that's right, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and five eight five, one oh five one. We
Speaker 1: got two books to give away. We were keeping four books.
Speaker 1: You brought up so we can give it to away.
Speaker 1: So we don't give two books away today. Call us
Speaker 1: up right now and pick up the book. We over
Speaker 1: me and we appreciate you for joining us. Guys, subscribe
Speaker 1: to the Dead Ass podcast paton. You can watch all
Speaker 1: the video content on Patreon. We got some live shows
Speaker 1: coming up Detroit. We still got tickets if y'all out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm From's podcast dot com, Go todas podcast dot com.
Speaker 1: The last few tickets in Detroit everywhere else has sold out,
Speaker 1: LA sold out, Texas to sold out, Chicago sold out.
Speaker 1: All of the book tours sold out New York, DC, Philly,
Speaker 1: and Atlanta. It's all sold out, so we'll see ully.
Speaker 1: I love Sisters, man, but see I watched Sisters from
Speaker 1: the perspective of a comedy. Oh for sure, you have
Speaker 1: it is it's not the one way to do. Hit
Speaker 1: the dude and he's spun around. Don't tell you. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you the truth about Sisters. And when people
Speaker 1: don't understand, do y'all watch telling novellas? No? I mean
Speaker 1: I know, I know they are so Telling novellas is
Speaker 1: a soapy comedy in the soap opera. So when people
Speaker 1: first saw Sisters, they were just like, why is this
Speaker 1: on parme time? Tyler put a soap opera on prime
Speaker 1: time and added comedy to it, so it's like a
Speaker 1: telling novella. That's why the numbers are so crazy. But
Speaker 1: people who watch it don't understand. They're like, this is funny,
Speaker 1: but it's not supposed to be funny. It's supposed to
Speaker 1: be a drama. I didn't want you to hit care
Speaker 1: here so much. I don't know, and it na she
Speaker 1: mad disrespectful to the Teama. A lot of it is
Speaker 1: the fact that people love for Teama so much and
Speaker 1: she's the antithesis of what I need in a mental
Speaker 1: They're like, you gotta hate her in order to love her,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, it's a divine dichotomy. I can
Speaker 1: love both of them at the same time. Yeah, but no.
Speaker 1: Divine economy is the fact that two things that the
Speaker 1: opposite can exist at the same exact time, and people
Speaker 1: often think that they can't. Right. So it's like my
Speaker 1: ex and my current girl, I have to hate her
Speaker 1: in order to love my girl properly. No, I don't.
Speaker 1: I can still have love for her. It just didn't
Speaker 1: work out for us because she wasn't my one. This
Speaker 1: one is my one. I have loved for her, But
Speaker 1: I am in love with Fatima. And that's a great
Speaker 1: question because on Twitter that's what I'm always arguing with people.
Speaker 1: Why you still talk to Karen? Why would I not?
Speaker 1: Every woman deserves respect, especially if she might be carrying
Speaker 1: my child right exactly? This is why Charlemagne got the
Speaker 1: good job, is always what they asked me. Why do
Speaker 1: you still talk to Karen? Im? We have the travel
Speaker 1: show coming out with the boys. It's coming out actually
Speaker 1: this Friday, February ten, so make sure that's a good time.
Speaker 1: Oh I do have one more question. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about putting your family out there so much? So
Speaker 1: as the kids get older, I'm not sure how much
Speaker 1: more they're going to be out there. I'm just being up.
Speaker 1: It got to a point where we're asking Jackson like, hey,
Speaker 1: do you want to be on camera? And the Jackson
Speaker 1: say no, answers no because always yeah, Cass has always
Speaker 1: been no. Chiro loves the camera. At first, this was
Speaker 1: a way for me to share my life, like I'm
Speaker 1: an artist. If I was a rapper, i'd be rapping
Speaker 1: about my family, you know. But I'm starting to realize,
Speaker 1: like my kids need to have say in what their
Speaker 1: likeness is and just for safety prose too. Yeah that's me.
Speaker 1: I'm am a beer mo, so I have the time like, no,
Speaker 1: leave them out. No, even if people see it's in public.
Speaker 1: For the most part, people are very respectful. They'll come
Speaker 1: up and say from a distance, but they see it's
Speaker 1: with the kids. They kind of know that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: stay back and stuff. So we have a good strong
Speaker 1: hate saying fan base. But supportive. But the kids as
Speaker 1: they get old, especially going to school, traveling on their own,
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna phase them back. I don't want them
Speaker 1: to have to walk around with security because their parents,
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't want them to have to.
Speaker 1: I want them to live, phase all the way off
Speaker 1: of social media and just shut the whole, the whole
Speaker 1: joint down. Well, she never wanted to do social media.
Speaker 1: This is what crazy moments where I like go back
Speaker 1: and forth about it, just because again, safety protectives, mama
Speaker 1: bear all that. So we just try to take the
Speaker 1: musures necessary. What we do involve them. But the travel
Speaker 1: show was fun because it was something that we got
Speaker 1: to do travel to the US a little bit with
Speaker 1: the guys, and we executive produce all our content. So
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not about letting anybody else have autonomy
Speaker 1: over my children's likeness or my family's Like yet of
Speaker 1: stuff did we turn on a whole lot of stuff,
Speaker 1: like our manage over it is in the corner to
Speaker 1: be looking at us sometimes like really, y'all really don't
Speaker 1: want to do that, And I'm like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to do it if we can't control it. So um,
Speaker 1: we're just trying to own this as best as we can.
Speaker 1: And just you know, be we over me till we die.
Speaker 1: We over me. The books out right now right, It's
