And 49 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 5: I asked them to be an ambassador for them because 50 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 5: I was giving them free publicity, doing ten fifteen million impressions. 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: And they was like, Okay, yeah, you're doing a great job. 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: We really appreciate it.

I'll allow them to speak freely. I'm not 181 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 5: trying to cut them off. And that's why the interviews 182 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 5: go ninety minutes, two two hours, sometimes three hours, because 183 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 5: I'm not cutting them off and trying to redirect them 184 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: in a path I want them to go.

I always ask all my guests, is 187 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 5: there anything you do not wish to talk about? I 188 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 5: believe the person that's sitting on my couch has a 189 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 5: good enough portfolio that they can talk their entire career 190 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 5: without their most embarrassing situation. 191 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,359 Speaker 2: And so when Kat said I can talk about anything. 192 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 5: Monique Terry Crews, anybody that's been on my platform now, 193 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 5: there have been people that says, Shannon, I would really 194 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 5: like to stay away from this. No problem, You've been 195 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 5: in the business ten, fifteen, thirty years. 196 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: You're more than that. Detail cool, but it was unbelievable. 197 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 5: Cat and what I've told people this cat did for 198 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 5: me what television did for sporting events, because before the 199 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 5: television it was on radio. You can only hear it, 200 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 5: but now you could see it. Kat Williams gave me 201 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 5: an opportunity. People could see Club Shasha. Now they know 202 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 5: what I do and that people have to take me serious. 203 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 6: A lot of times we lead with our emotions. Can 204 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 6: you talk to us about the moment that you had 205 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 6: with Skip? If I were you, I would have jumped 206 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 6: on Skip. But I'm got you didn't. But can you 207 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 6: tell everyone here tonight how did you persevere through that 208 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 6: moment to lead you to now being a king of media. 209 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: It wasn't what he said, It was who said it? Gotcha? 210 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: You saying that my career is in starm Brady? Is 211 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: that fine? 212 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 5: I don't really know you like that. But Skip and 213 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 5: I have spent seven years together. There are certain things 214 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 5: that I believe. Just believe that there. 215 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: You work with somebody long enough, you know. 216 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 5: And for me, if I lose a debate, I lose 217 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 5: a debate, I'm not gonna attack anybody personally. It's like 218 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 5: anything you in a relationship. You have a disagreement, as 219 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 5: long as you don't make it personal. I think the 220 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 5: person can understand, well, I disagree with what you said. 221 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 5: And that's what really hurt me the most is because 222 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 5: Skip and I had been together for seven years. I 223 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 5: had protected him in situation when people tried to attack 224 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 5: him and I wouldn't allow it. And for that moment, 225 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 5: because he felt he was losing the debate, he felt 226 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 5: he could attack me personally. That's what hurt the most. 227 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: It wasn't what he said, it was who said it. 228 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 4: So that Cat Williams interview goes crazy. 229 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: You get seventy million views, were you able to ten 230 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: x the revenue as far as sponsorships and corporate relationships? 231 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: Because we saw it Call Me Daddy one hundred and 232 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: twenty million, We saw it Your Rogan one hundred million. 233 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: We see a lot of these podcasts getting you know, 234 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 3: these crazy multiples, but they're not black podcasts most of 235 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 3: the time.

It's 316 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 5: really not easy, and it's not for everybody. Everybody says 317 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 5: they can be number two until they asked the call 318 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 5: to be number twos.

But I always knew I was so 416 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 5: much more than that, and so now I just applied 417 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 5: the same skills, the same discipline, the same dedication, the 418 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 5: same determination. 419 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: The same obsession with I had in football to what 420 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: I do now and. 421 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 5: Starting out didn't make a whole lot of money in 422 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 5: the podcast because I read a quote the other day 423 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 5: that says, if you do more work than what you're paid, 424 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 5: you eventually be paid more than work that you do 425 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 5: a little, and so I took that. 426 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 2: I remember. 427 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 5: He says, if you work, if you work more than 428 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 5: what you're paid, you'll eventually get paid more than the 429 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 5: work that you do.

Okay, 679 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 5: I just realized we can no longer be successful together. 680 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 5: It's not that I don't want him to eat. It's 681 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 5: just that he and I'm not gonna eat off the 682 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,240 Speaker 5: same plate anymore. 683 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: I love it.

He say, boy, don't be a slave to loity. 688 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 5: And sometimes again, don't be a slave to loyalty. Sometimes 689 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 5: sometimes you ever noticed people to do things for you, 690 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 5: and all they do is constantly remind you of it. 691 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: So why the hell you do it? If you need 692 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 2: to constantly remind me of what you've done for me? 693 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 5: And so I don't want I didn't want people to 694 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 5: think that I'm ungrateful for the opportunity that Skip gave me, 695 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 5: because he did give him an opportunity. He went to 696 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 5: bat for me because there was some Fox execs that 697 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 5: didn't think I could do what I did. 698 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 2: And so I will forever, forever be indebted to him 699 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 2: for what he did. 700 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 5: But I had refused to be no longer be indebted 701 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 5: to lority, And sometimes that's what happens.
