1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: Real people, real celebrity join the breast morning. Everybody is 2 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the 3 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: breakfast club and we have a special guest in the 4 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: building that I am surprised came up here and I 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: respected him May for the era. See good morning morning. 6 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: You know, I'm really really disappointed this morning, right because 7 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: Charlemagne is not here. That's right. Well, let's set the 8 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: record straight. She decided she wanted to come with. Charlemagne 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: was here, but I wanted to. Yeah. I think we 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: can all say to the world that the reason why 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: Charlemagne gives me such a hard time is because he's 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: scared of me. Right, That's why he's not here this morning. 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: It's a complex thing too. Now I know what it is. 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: So I kept trying to figure it out, to say 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: the light, I'm like, what is it, Charlemagne? What I 16 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: wish he was here? So I look at him and 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: say it to him, what is it? But now I 18 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: know it's because he's scared of me. I heard you 19 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: about the gung I bet about Charogne. You know what, 20 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: I didn't have the opportunity to write about him because 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: the topic doesn't I work with them, you know, but hey, 22 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, congratulations that on the success of 23 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: I Bet, Thank you. You know. I was with my 24 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: girls the other day. One of them just went through 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: a breakup and she goes this song and she got 26 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: really passionate. She was like, this song is all about me, 27 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: and I know she got this song just about me. 28 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of women feel like that 29 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: when they hear that song. That song is for every 30 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: girl and even some guys in the world. You know. 31 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: I think that's one of those topics that everyone can 32 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: relate to. We've all been there before. We've all had 33 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: an experience where you're like, you know, maybe a few 34 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: experiences where you're like, I bet you started loving me, 35 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, when I keep it moving and you know, 36 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: and get with someone better. But it's just I think 37 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: it's a song for everyone. It's it's really beyond me 38 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: too in a sense. But it's so great when I 39 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: hear so many women and you know, people talk about 40 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: how the song inspires them, and you would hope that 41 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: music could do that, you know, give you some strength 42 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: and encouragement to keep it moving when you need to. 43 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: Now that's good. Can we talk let's get the stuff 44 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: from the beginning, because we haven't seen you in a 45 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, it's been a while. Last time I 46 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: seen you, was just learning how to cook? Wells I 47 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: learning how to or was I talking about more that 48 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: I could do? Okay? We last time we've seen you 49 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: with dating future and what happened with future? I know 50 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: you guys had a baby. Everything was so great and huh, well, 51 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's just it clearly didn't 52 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: work out. Um, But I have the greatest gift, the 53 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: greatest joy of my life is my son, um. And um, honestly, 54 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: I feel like everything in life happens for a reason. 55 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: And you know, my son has been the greatest gift 56 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: that God has given me in my life and been 57 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: the most game changing life thing that's happened to my 58 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: life in a necessary way. So you know, I mean 59 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: that's pretty much what happened, What didn't work out, what happened, 60 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: what what we know? I can't really I can't really 61 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: break all that down, um, you know, because I don't 62 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: even think it really matters to tell you the truth, 63 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: you know, especially again when the ending is as great 64 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: as it is with my son. Um, you know, that's 65 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: what worked out. My son. Are you guys still cool? Yeah, 66 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: we're we're cool. Were we we can we well, you 67 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: know what it is we have We have a child together, 68 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: you know. And I think as a parent it's important 69 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: to be able to communicate even if you don't talk. 70 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: You know, you don't talk, and we don't talk every day, 71 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: there's no need to. But you know, my son is 72 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: you know clearly the connection between he and I and 73 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: as parents, I think it's important to be able to communicate. 74 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: So I I like to stay happy and I like 75 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: to um. I like to live life light and make 76 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: the best of life. And I think that when you 77 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: carry a certain kind of energy, or if you have 78 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: like a funky energy that you hold on within yourself, 79 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: you just can't grow and you can't really like move 80 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: how you need to. So for me, I just like 81 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: to be happy and cool with pretty much everybody you know. 82 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: And that's just pretty much it. And it's always it's 83 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: always a lesson learned too. When you're in a relationship 84 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: and things don't work out and you look back and 85 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: you say, okay, next time, I know, when this and 86 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: this happens, it's probably time for me to oh, you 87 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: live and you learn. I mean, my son is giving 88 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: me so much clarity, you know, especially now being an awful, 89 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm full on woman. You know, you don't really understand 90 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: what that really means until a few things happen to 91 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: you in life. But my son is totally giving me 92 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: so much clarity. And I couldn't be any more clear 93 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: than I've needed to be, like needed to be. And 94 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, I definitely know a lot of things that 95 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't want, I really know, you know, and I'm 96 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: clear about recognizing them when I see them. And I 97 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: know a lot of things that I do want that 98 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: I really hope for, and I won't move or budge 99 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: until I get it. So I think that's kind of 100 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: what happened with my son. You know, he really kind 101 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: of made me. He makes me like I have to 102 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: make the right decisions. Yeah, you're like, I can't be 103 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: up here like, oh, well, you know, if an accident happens, 104 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: it happens, you know. No, You're like, I gotta kind 105 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: of be for sure for sure with things that I do, 106 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: and I mean even down to business decisions, like everything 107 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: that I do affects And I always say, I'm like baby, baby, 108 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: gotta eat, and baby ain't cheap, so I gotta make 109 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: sure I'm making the best decisions I can possibly make 110 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: to make the universe right for him and then of 111 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: course for me too. But you know, he just really 112 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: is the force. He's the reason why for me. Like 113 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, I've always wanted to be successful, but my 114 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: son now just makes it, takes it to a whole 115 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: nother level. It's like, I really have to go out 116 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: here and bust my butt and get it right right, so, 117 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, and I just gotta make the best decisions 118 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: I can make. It has been a while since you've 119 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: been on tour and everything. Yeah, this is different for you. 120 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: It has years. It's been almost it's been pretty much 121 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: six years six years plus since I've been on the road. 122 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: Um and um, it's exciting. You know, I'm honestly in 123 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: such a happy place right now. I do. He's probably 124 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: been like sixteen countries so far. His passport is way Yeah. 125 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm a military baby. So when I was young, I 126 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,239 Speaker 1: traveled with my dad, you know, because he got stationed 127 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: in different places. But his passport killed his question my 128 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: passport game that I have when I was a baby 129 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: from moving around and he's just loaded. He's just stacking 130 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: up the stamps. But it's so funny because you realize 131 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: how powerful the tongue is is. When I was younger, 132 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: I would say, if I had a child, I want 133 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: them to see the world. And I am able to 134 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: take my son everywhere with me, and you know, when 135 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: he can really comprehend what's going on, I can really 136 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: break it down and then he don't know. He just rolled, 137 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I have more into what life looks 138 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: like from his perspective because you're rolling through a different airport, 139 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: there's so many lights than you're you're going in a 140 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: different place, you can you can really feel the difference. 141 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: Is I think even if you can't know, if you 142 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on, you still kind of feel 143 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: you're moving. So I think he's kind of just like 144 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: I just hope that I can continue to do that 145 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: and he'll be able to be really conditioned for the world, 146 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: you know, because I'm like, I'm from the cat to Georgia, 147 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: you know, And in a sense, being a military baby 148 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: helped me out so much because I was able to 149 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: like adjust to any different race culture like no one 150 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: was We're all the same no matter what color. I 151 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: look at row from like the most broad perspective because 152 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: of that, and so for me, it's important that my 153 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: son sees it the same way, Like he should be 154 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 1: able to adjust no matter where he is and be like, Okay, 155 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm cool, I can move around, I can shake him 156 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: bake no matter what. H Yeah, you know. So now 157 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: when it's time to date another guy, right, huh? How 158 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: long do you introduce him to your son? Um? You 159 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: know what, I think it's just all that when it 160 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: feels right, can you look like you know what? You 161 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: look like? You fall in love fast? You fall in 162 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: love fast? You know what? In the in the let 163 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: me let me think about what I'm gonna say before 164 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: I say. You know, um, you know, UM, I think 165 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: it's just about going with the flow. I used to 166 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: be a person that was really really like trying to 167 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: be super hard, like a Darner date for like almost 168 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: a year before even going to the next place, you know, 169 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: at points. And so for me, um, I think with life, 170 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: you learned that you can't take things you can't you 171 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: can't really call it like you don't know what a 172 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: situation going. You can take a year, or you can 173 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: take six months, or you can take two. My dad 174 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: and mom nine after nine days. I've known my mom, 175 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: they were married and they've been together for thirty one years. Wow, 176 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: So you never know. I'm not going to put a 177 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: time limit on when and when I can't do something, 178 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: you know, And I'm experiment I've been experimenting over life clearly, 179 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: and I'm still trying to figure it all out. And 180 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: so I can't really call industry. Um, you know, never 181 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: say never, but I do. I do think that, um, 182 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta gotta switch it up a little bit. 183 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting a guy who has kids buying 184 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: multiple different women. Now, people were very critical because they 185 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: saw you and flat for that. You got a lot 186 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: of flag for that. Did you feel like that should 187 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: have been like A, well, maybe this is not the idea, 188 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm human, you know, and I went 189 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: I went with I was lit. I went went with 190 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: love in that situation, and so um or in Yeah, 191 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: in that situation, I think that, you know, you can 192 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: be with someone that has no kids and can be 193 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: the biggest jerk in the world, right, you can be 194 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: with someone that's super wealthy and can be the biggest 195 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: jerk in the world. So it doesn't make a many 196 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: different than the one that doesn't have as much or 197 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: who doesn't have as many kids, or you can't really 198 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: call it, you know. And I mean at the end 199 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: of the day, I rolle with love and you know, 200 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: my son's father, you know, I really believe had the 201 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: greatest intentions to love me and so and it was 202 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: a beautiful thing came from that. So you know, that's 203 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: just kind of how I see it. You know, you 204 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: can't really call it. You know, they're all siblings, Like 205 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: are you like, okay, let's get the kids together, or 206 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: I mean they are you knowing, I'm really focused on 207 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: raising my son right now and being the best mom 208 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: I can be. You know. Um there is one mom though, 209 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: of the kids that I really got along with very well, 210 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: and so you know when I see her, we definitely 211 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: still get along really good, you know, And it's all 212 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: about the kids anyway, you know. So truthfully, it's just 213 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: like whatever, you know, whatever is the right thing to do. 214 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: Whenever the situation called sport, you just do it. You know, 215 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: your life usually your person like real secretive I did, 216 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: no matter who you were dating. It was very quiet. 217 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: That was the only one of that with this breakup though, 218 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: and then putting out a song like I Bet, because 219 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: the first thing we thought, right was is Sierra gonna 220 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: address this in her music? You know, because it was like, 221 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure it was really difficult for you. 222 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: You had a baby, you were engaged, it was all 223 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: very public, and then it was over, and so we 224 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: were like, is she gonna address this in her music? 225 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: Then you put out I Bet, and it was kind 226 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: of like there's a connection because now we can imagine, 227 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, ourselves going through the same things as Sierra goes. Well, 228 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: you know what UM on this album on Jackie, this 229 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: new chapter of my life is really about being expressive UM. 230 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: And it's about UM really allowing myself to be vulnerable 231 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: because I believe it's healthy to be vulnerable. I think 232 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: that when you allow yourself to like, you know, be 233 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: in touch with your rawest moment, you kind of really fine. 234 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: You really developed character that way. So UM And I 235 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: think that as I've been, you know, been very blessed 236 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: to be on my sixth album and going on like 237 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: thirteen years now, I think it's important that people get 238 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: to really know me and know my voice, and you know, 239 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: I've been experiment experiencing with things over the years, but 240 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: I feel like people haven't really gotten a chance to 241 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: know me, know me, and um, you know, you get 242 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: to that comfortable place as a woman where you're like, 243 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, I am who I am, Like you start 244 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: to really get comfortable with yourself. You're like, this is me. 245 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: You know. I'd rather be comfortable with just being me 246 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: and not trying to please people. And um, you know, 247 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: on this album, I really wanted for people to connect 248 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: to me. So, you know, I bet is experience. It's 249 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: inspired from my experiences in a sense in life. And 250 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: you know, it was one of those songs that really 251 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: stood out because it was just so real, you know, 252 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: so and you know, beyond my current situation or you know, 253 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: this most recent situation. This is like a life story, 254 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, and so it's kind of like, you know, 255 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: it's really for everyone, and you know, and I think 256 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: it's really great though, when people do connect to music, 257 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: because that's what it's supposed to be. It's about being 258 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: able to inspire people and being able to maybe help 259 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: someone or you know, touch someone. And I think music 260 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: can't be it can't be any more powerful than that. 261 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: When you do that, and so on this album, you know, 262 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: I am expressive and you get to like, like, there's 263 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: a song I have dedicated to my son, you know, 264 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: but also it's beyond my son. I think everyone can 265 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: relate to it and get something from it. But I 266 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: want to take people on a journey with me, as 267 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: you know, just to hear my voice and where I 268 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: am right now and my whole new chapter of life. 269 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: Like it's just a whole different thing happening with me. 270 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: And what better way than to express it than through music, 271 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: you know. So the album's name is Jackie's Well, you 272 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: know what, it just felt right, you know again, this 273 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: new chapter is it really marks a special time for 274 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: me and me being a mom is the most beautiful 275 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: thing in the world. You know, I can't I don't 276 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: know why I want to get emotional right now, but 277 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: I can't even.

Or I was changing his diaper 329 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: and I looked, you know how you like you're holding 330 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: them there there, and it's like he's probably like three 331 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: or four months, and he was like, you know, crying. 332 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: I was reaching down and all of a sudden, out 333 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: here like this right and now I look up. He 334 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: was pink in his face because you know, you hold 335 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: the legs up, you hold the diaper, and I literally 336 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: legs up and then yeah, and I looked. I literally 337 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: was going for two seconds, like any mom will tell 338 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: you that. You know, in two seconds anything can happen. 339 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: Legs up and I looked up. I was like, yo, 340 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: you know what it did happen? It is no, it does, 341 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: hold the legs put the diaper underneath. No, he is not. 342 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not please not say that. You know what, 343 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: now you're making me feel like I should lower my bed. 344 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: My bed is really high. You shouldn't have him in 345 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: a bed. No, you know what, I mean, here's a deal. 346 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this. Do you barricade your baby in? Yeah? 347 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: All that. Here's my rule. I barricade my baby in 348 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: right because and being then I travel you know. Um, 349 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, my baby's sleeps with me a good thing. 350 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: You know. I have them bring the cribs in, but 351 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: the crib never really works out. He's my teddy bear, 352 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, so I can't really like let him be 353 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: you know, in the crib too long without me and 354 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: without him. Um. But um, yeah, I basically have a 355 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: rule like if I have to, you know, step away somewhere, 356 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: I'll have someone stand there, you know. So um, I'm 357 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: very very very mindful of it. And I mean I 358 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: can't tell you the other crazy details but of things 359 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: that I do. But I make sure that my baby 360 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: is not really in that bed by himself. Okay, I'm 361 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: multitask I can do three things three things at one time. 362 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: I tell you a last baby story. You know what, 363 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: when I have my first daughter, this is what made 364 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: me want a second kid so fast. I had a 365 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: penny on the floor and my daughter was a crawler, 366 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: grabbed the penny through it in the mouth. It's no 367 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: freaking way I cried. I thought my life was over. 368 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: I called nine one one, what's yourmency? My daughters a penny? 369 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm crying, crying, and like, sir, she can she breathe? 370 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean yes. It was like, it's fine, she swallowed 371 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: the penny, it'll probably come out in the doodle. I 372 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: was like, no, she's gonna die. And they wouldn't say 373 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: an ambulance. That's as long as she's breathing, she's all right. 374 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: So I had to check the doodo for the last 375 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: for the next four panthers to see if the penny 376 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: was in there, but it finally came through, So so 377 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: it's all right. The moral to the story is that 378 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: they're going to always poop it out, that's right. Yeah, 379 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: Jadi recently said that your song, I bet it's a 380 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: rip off of an Usher song he produced. Now I 381 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: think he actually corrected that statement. No, he did, Yeah 382 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: he did. I didn't. I didn't get to see the 383 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: whole thing, but I think he actually kind of said 384 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: something to kind of you and cool. We are cool, 385 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: you know, Jermaine is cool, But Jermaine's an expressed of person, 386 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: like Jermaine has always been expressive over the years, you know, 387 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: and I don't you know really guys, right, like that's 388 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: the last one thing about having a baby. You really 389 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: don't care about a lot of stuff, you don't. You 390 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: be like he's happy? Yeah, okay, yeah, they said, what now? Okay? Cool? 391 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: All right, Well so what we're gonna do is on 392 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: this next video. You know, you just you really don't 393 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: really have time to sweat stuff, you know, and um, 394 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: but yeah, Jermaine, if Jermaine walked in the door right now, 395 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: we could hug each other. So he's an expressive person. Yeah, 396 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: I've never understood. And I tell this to Charlemagne too 397 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: when he's here. What is the problem that people have 398 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: with Sierra? Because you've always seen like a very nice, 399 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: humble person. I've always been a fan of Sierra's me 400 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: thank you even, and you always have like the hit 401 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: songs that come out in the videos. I'm like, she's 402 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: a great entertainer. She's a great warmer as well. And 403 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: then I see people like going at you, Like Tamar 404 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: Braxson was like, what is Sierra singing this heart for? 405 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, I didn't know, y'all. I think 406 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: she corrected that too. I did see that which is 407 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: so funny. And I don't know what she was trying 408 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: to say, but I mean if she was trying to 409 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: say something crazy, I really don't care right, Um, but 410 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: you know I do think that because every time I've 411 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: seen Tamar has always been loved too. So I don't know, 412 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: I don't know what people trying to say. You know, 413 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: I think do you know what happens is people are 414 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: bullying you when you go as somebody or you can't 415 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: do that. Well, you know it's so funny. Again, I 416 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: saw she was saying that she wasn't trying to say 417 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: something bad about it, So I don't know what her 418 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: intention was with that. You know, I'm gonna take it 419 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: as she wasn't trying to do anything funny and she 420 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: got something. She was being sincere. I'm gonna take it 421 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: she was being sincere with her um positive you know 422 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: statement that she said after people were you know, assuming things. Um, 423 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: but um, what was it gonna say? You have to 424 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: you know what it is? But something man, because you 425 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean, I will I will speak when 426 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: I feel it. You know I've spoken before. Um. You know, 427 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: I think it's just we when when we're in music 428 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: to me, music is like one of the most powerful 429 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: and one of the most positive things in the world, 430 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: and so I think that that's just the energy. You 431 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: gotta kick with it.

And that worked out perfectly 492 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: because my dad really loves kids, and my dad was 493 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: an amazing father to me. So I thought it would 494 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: be awesome for him to be there, and I had 495 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: did like twenty meetings like with Nanny's and it literally 496 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: was like nope, next, nope, next, nope, you know, and 497 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: so I was like, this is just this is really complicated, 498 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: Like it's not as easy as I wanted to be. 499 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: And I was like, you know what, the male thing 500 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: is important to me. And so my dad was perfect 501 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: for the job. And no, you know, I don't, Um, 502 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: I have some, but I don't need it, um, you know, 503 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,959 Speaker 1: and it's worked out perfectly for me. I mean, at 504 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: some point, you know, my dad's gonna have to kind 505 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: of just really fall into the grandpa lane, you know, 506 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: when there's a guy in the mix. Um. But but 507 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: for now it works out easy. Do you do you mind? Like, 508 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: does future see your son without you there? Because I 509 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: know some mothers are very like, yeah, you know, he 510 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: actually was just with um, his grandmother and his dad 511 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: UM the other day and his family, his brothers and 512 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: sisters and stuff. And that makes me so happy, you know, 513 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: because he gets to like with me, he wrote solo, 514 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: so he knows just like that kind of environment. But 515 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: it's great when he gets to be around other kids. 516 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: And his family and get that energy and all of 517 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: them treating him like the little brother. And so yeah, 518 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: you probably called every five minutes like what's he doing? Now? No, 519 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: you know, I don't. You know. I did check in, 520 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: you know, just to say how's it going? Because I 521 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: was flying, and so I wanted to make I always 522 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: have this thing like before I fly, because I haven't 523 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: really flown without him that much that I get to 524 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: check in and say, you know, how's my little juicy man. 525 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: You know, what's he doing?

So yeah, 533 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: now back to the last album. When the first week's 534 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: sales came out last week?

Okay, 537 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: albums you know what I was first and foremost, I 538 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: was very proud of that album. Um, I was really 539 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: really proud of the body of work. You know. We 540 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: didn't get promote it all the way. Um, but I 541 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: feel like the album was necessary from even being back 542 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: on being back on Ethic um, you know, and being 543 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: back with LA. It was just it was important to 544 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: get everything started and rolling, and the system was still new, 545 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: even for LA it was new, and um, you know, 546 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, it was just really it was I'm 547 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: really proud of that body or work.

Um but no, I gained 656 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: sixty pounds. So um, I literally once I got to 657 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: go to go on that machine. I remember the first 658 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: day I tried it. My son had been such a 659 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: great sleeper, he doesn't cry a lot. Everything was good. 660 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: So I went upstairs, Um, so you'll get on the 661 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: elliptical machine. And I was like, I'm gonna go up 662 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: there right now. He's sleeping, he's gonna stay sleep. I 663 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: got him in this cradle, I got him on a thing. 664 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm pushing it. And as soon as I got on 665 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: a traidmer like twenty minutes and he's like yeah. I 666 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: was like, seriously, Mama, gotta lose the paths right now. 667 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,239 Speaker 1: So either way, I got my game plan together. I was, um, 668 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: have my baby at the gym with me. Um my train, 669 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: my train of Gunner will tell you like he had 670 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: an office space, we had a stuff around. I was like, 671 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: I gotta do what I gotta do. And I was 672 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: breastfeeding up until four months, so I had a system. 673 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: I would wake up, breastfeed through my clothes on, eat, 674 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: go to the gym, comeback, breastfeed like I was on 675 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: a mission. And I literally just did it down to 676 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: his science like I was. I was like, okay, I 677 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: can go now one hour cardio. Then I trained like 678 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: literally two to three pounds a day. Yeah. So I 679 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: did what I had to do, and of course I 680 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: changed my eating regimen, like you know, I still had 681 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: moments where I put like pizza and like cheeseburg and 682 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: French fries in there, because you need that to break 683 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: up the cycle. If you're like trying to do healthy stuff, 684 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: you cannot be going like balls to the wall every 685 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: day like you're gonna go crazy. So I made sure 686 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: I still had like my fun stuff in there so 687 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't plateau, and then I would go right back 688 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: to it. And the craziest thing for me is I'm 689 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: used to my body responding fast. I just remember looking 690 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: up being like, what what the what the slam ham? 691 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, how many more pounds do I have left? 692 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: And wisn't taking so long to get this one pound off? 693 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: And then I did tons of water.

Yeah, 706 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: you know what it was? It was convenient. It was 707 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: like the concept of doing braids, and instead of doing braids, 708 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: I did the dreads because I was like, you know, 709 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: we always do braids, and um they were full dreads 710 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: and um it was fun.

You know what, Um, well, television the 720 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: film is a world and I'm still you know, warming 721 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: up in um. And it's a world that I really 722 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: want to be a part of. And um, you know, 723 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: my the latest film that I have done, you know, 724 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: was the one with Adam Sandler, which was a lot 725 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: of fun. Um and just being able to work with 726 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: someone like him was probably one of the best experiences 727 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: I could have had. Did you have to audition? And 728 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: yeah I did. I had to audition, um, And I 729 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: was nervous as heck. Um, but you know, thank god 730 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: I got the got the opportunity. Um. But in reference 731 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: to what I'm doing now, this is a show on NBC. 732 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: It comes out at airs May twenty six and it's 733 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: called I Can Do That, and it's myself, Jeff dy 734 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: Um who's a really cool UM actor I'm sorry, a 735 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: comedian and actor, Um, Alan Richardson, Joe Jonas, Nicole Scherzinger, 736 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: and I'm missing someone else right now, Marlin Wayne's as 737 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: the host UM and based on Sheryl Burke. That's why 738 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: I was forgetting Sheryl Burke as well. Um Yeah, from 739 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. And so it's really a wide 740 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: range of us on the couch and I think that's 741 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: what makes this show so cool and diverse, because you 742 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: get a bit of comedy, you get a bit of us, 743 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, entertainers coming from our world. You know, we 744 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: do this stuff every day, you know, the performing part 745 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: of it. Marlon is so funny, he's the host of 746 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: the show. He's hilarious. So you on this on this 747 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: variety show, you get comedy, you get you know, you 748 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,479 Speaker 1: also get to see us very vulnerable because you get 749 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: to see us doing things that we've never done before. 750 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: So the theme behind I Can Do That is kind 751 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: of like every week, three different acts. I'm up on 752 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: the stage and there are things that we don't even 753 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: were going to come out and we're like, when we 754 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: see them doing it, we race up the stairs. He 755 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: stares a light up. We race up the stairs to see, 756 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: like I want to do that first, and we see 757 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: like I can do that, And so then we have 758 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: to pick a partner that we do it with. And 759 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: then basically we take like a week and sometimes less 760 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: than a week to actually challenge, complete the challenge, and 761 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: like perform it in front of the fans after we've 762 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: done it. I had no idea what this show. I 763 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: was trying to figure it out. Yeah, and then we 764 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: compete against each other, so you know, there's a point 765 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: prize in the end, and there's a trophy in the end, 766 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,719 Speaker 1: and the fans they vote every show. The fans are 767 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: actually in the audience, and it's really funny. I can't 768 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: tell you anything, but all I gotta say it's really funny. 769 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: This voting system is hilarious. But it's really it's really fun. 770 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: It is a fun variety show. It's really like playing 771 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: a live in person video game. You know. For me, 772 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen 773 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: this week, Like what am I gonna do? And I 774 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: get to do so many things that I've never done before, 775 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: and I think that's what's great, and even as it 776 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: relates to my chapter in my life, because I am 777 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: in a lot of things that are unfamiliar to me 778 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: and I like that. I like that challenge. I like 779 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 1: because it allows me to grow. And so on this show, 780 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: you get to see us be very vulnerable. You get 781 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: to see us be challenged. You get to see us 782 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: like you know, and in states you would never see 783 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: us in like, for example, in music as artists, we 784 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: really expressed only through music basically in videos, you know, 785 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: and sometimes interviews we do, but you know, you never 786 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: really get to know us beyond that. And on this 787 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: show you get to see me like I have fun 788 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: and just be free and just just me.

Don't get me wrong. 879 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: There's some songs on there where you're gonna get a 880 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: little you know, you're gonna have a little Yeah, it's 881 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: a ratchet on there.

It is so much sexier to have yos together. 888 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: You know, it really is. And I don't even think 889 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: like you. They always say like a person is more 890 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: attractive when they're taken, and you know, you can't be 891 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: afraid of that.

I'm just saying, the day 932 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: I decided to come to power, this is what happens, 933 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: really like, I was really disappointed.

All I have to say 940 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: about Charlotta Mayne, it goes back to what I was 941 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: just saying. Just now, you know I can't I'm not 942 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: gonna go do it with the Charlotmagyne way because I 943 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: think his wage is messy. Um, But I just think 944 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: he's got to put a little bit more in the 945 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: universe than than than the things he talks about. Like, 946 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing for you to have fun 947 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: comedians joke all day coet. You know people, you know, 948 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 1: there's people that it's their job to you know, be 949 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: a to be a jerk okay basically, and and to 950 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 1: be not even a jerk, but to be you know, 951 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: to kind of have an opposite position within things and 952 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: just to be kind of funny that way. Yeah, but 953 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 1: I think there has to be a balance of what 954 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: he does. You know, I think sometimes he goes too 955 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: far for no reason. I don't think it's necessary to like, 956 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, I remember one little mom was sitting here, 957 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 1: I saw the interview. I thought it was bad. How 958 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,439 Speaker 1: I can't remember everything he was saying, but I thought 959 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: he went a little too far just from my apologize 960 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: for that, right, Okay, cool, So I didn't know. I 961 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: didn't know he apologized. Actually, oh no, no, no, but 962 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: whatever it was. Um, I just think that there has 963 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: to be a balance to it all. Like, you know, 964 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: do your job. It's your job to be you know, 965 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: to make noise. That's what makes you who you are. 966 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: People say Charlomagne because they know he's Charlomagne, you know, 967 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: but just find some kind of balance with all of it, 968 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, that's my personal opinion. You know, um, you know, 969 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: how fun do you? What you do doesn't affect me. 970 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: You know you're not going to stop me from making 971 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: my money. Clearly you haven't stopped me, you know, so 972 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,879 Speaker 1: that is what it is. But just you know, kind 973 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,439 Speaker 1: of pull a little more substance than all the stuff 974 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: that he's doing. That's what I personally think. You know, 975 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: go ask his questions.
