1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Every day away up the Breakfast Club Morning everybody. It's

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: the j n V.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Jess Hilarious, Charlamage, the guy we are the Breakfast Club

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Law and Roses here as well, and we got some

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: icons ends today, ladies and gentlemen, we have new addition

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: and boys to men.

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: They're going on tour together. I feel like this should

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: have been happy, right. Why did it take so long?

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: Who wants to start?

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 4: I think that there's a lot of logistics that go

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 4: with having two groups, two groups with such great success.

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 4: In order to get that together, scheduling has to be right. Also,

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 4: the you know what I mean, the energy has to

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: be right, the climate has to be right. And I

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 4: just believe that this is the time. God put this

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: time as the time to show the world what this,

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 4: this whole vibe is all about. New addition, boys to men,

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 4: Tony Box and it's a real thing. And this is

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: the moment God placed it right here, not his.

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 5: Boys to Benfield.

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: I got to ask, because you guys, they were your idols,

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: right and still you seeing them, you know, when y'all

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: had to show in Philly, y'all coming to the bus

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: and y'all singing and.

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: Well, you know, that's not actually how it went, you

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. No, no, no, I don't mean to.

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: I don't mean to, but you know, but you know,

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: like in order in order for the story to to

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: to actually be uh told in the movie, sometimes you

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: have to, you know, make it all go together in sequence,

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 4: you know, for people can see this. So there's truth

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: to that. But it was Michael Bibbins, Ricky and and Ron.

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: They were actually coming off stage at the Powerhouse and

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: they were in Philly and they were introducing that you

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: guys were going to be BBD and we had just

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: by the time they came off stage, we had just

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: snuck backstage. We passed past us back and before we got backstage,

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: and as soon as we got there, they were coming

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: off stage, and I guess, uh.

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Nate asked Ricky can we sing for him? You know

41
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? And Ricky was like, yeah, got it tape.

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 6: Y'all.

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: He said yeah, yeah, got it tape. And we was like, no,

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: we ain't got no tape. And he was like, well,

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: y'all need a tape, you know what I'm saying. He

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: started writing down the address, but then Nate was like, yo,

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: let me go to BEIV. So he's like, BIV, can

48
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 4: you know, can you know, you know, can we sing

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: for you? And he was like, can y'all do it

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: right now? Boom we busted into can you standing right?

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 7: In?

52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: A capella? So it was backstage.

53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: It wasn't at a tour bus, but you know what

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 4: I mean the story nonetheless, it definitely resonated.

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: The tour bus was more exciting.

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right right, there was a

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: lot more sexy.

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 3: I do want to ask you every every artist, manager, artists,

59
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 3: executive relationship has its highs and lows. When you look back,

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: what was some of the biggest misunderstandings or lessons y'all

61
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: learned from you know, each other.

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 8: I guess you could say, like when any relationship, I

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 8: mean in a group, because even when BIBB signed his

64
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 8: years ago, it was almost like him being a fifth

65
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 8: member at the time, and I think it was more

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 8: like a dynamic type thing. You know, we learned a

67
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 8: lot about each other's personalities as well as just understanding,

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 8: you know, how the business went. So you know, you

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 8: had your share of highs and lows and ups and downs,

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 8: but at the end of the day, it's all about that.

71
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 8: It's better is the end of.

72
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: A thing than the beginning and the other thing.

73
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 8: Absolutely, So it's one of those things where it's like,

74
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 8: here we are, look at this.

75
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

76
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 8: A lot of people didn't think that this, you know,

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 8: situation would even happen. But as you mentioned, yeah, poison

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 8: men owe a lot to new addition.

79
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 9: But this is what succession looks like. You understand what

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 9: I'm saying.

81
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 8: So so it's one of those things where it's like

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 8: these guys did what they did, and they gave us

83
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 8: the ball and we ran with it so that now.

84
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: We can rule all together now with it together.

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 5: Now, how often do y'all rehearse?

86
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 10: Right?

87
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: Because it's a lot of different characters, with a lot

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: of different families, with a lot of different moving pieces.

89
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: But people love the old dances.

90
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: They love to see in sick, They love to see

91
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: somebody going left, somebody going right, the outfit.

92
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 5: So how is rehearsal for y'all?

93
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 8: That's gonna That's that's the beautiful thing about new addition

94
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 8: in itself, Like they carried the torch of what R

95
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 8: and B groups should look like. They are the standard

96
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 8: and when it comes to this tour that we're gonna

97
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 8: show that, like it's all gonna be implemented in the

98
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 8: in the whole production along with Tony. So it's like

99
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 8: rehearsals we haven't started yet because this is our this

100
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 8: is our first promo run. So but once we do,

101
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 8: we're gonna lock in and it's gonna be dope.

102
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the smartest.

103
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 6: So he came in with the crutches because he knew

104
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 6: what was gonna happen.

105
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: With This is just prep This is prepp right here.

106
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 10: Game.

107
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying that that might be an excuse.

108
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 11: That's not right, there's an excuse right now. I get

109
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 11: through tsa quicker than y'all.

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Y'all, how long is the show because you'll all have

111
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: so many men individually, yes, as long as the show.

112
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 11: As individuals, you know, we probably give them, you know,

113
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 11: ninety minutes, maybe even two hours. But when you put

114
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 11: all of this excellence together, you know, in one night

115
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 11: on one stage, that's got to be you know, prince like,

116
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 11: you know, it's almost three hours. It's got to be Springsteen,

117
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 11: you know, three hours and some change. And I'm excited

118
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 11: about it because how do you put that in ninety minutes?

119
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 11: You can't, can't you know, when you got success in

120
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 11: the legacy that we all have and all the joints

121
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 11: and even the individuals that are you know, within this

122
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 11: conglomerate right here, I'm.

123
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Just excited about it.

124
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 11: You know, we didn't start rehearsal, but mister Brooke Payne

125
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 11: gave us a date for probably December first, And like

126
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 11: Sean said, when we lock in, it's going to be crazy.

127
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 12: Who chooses the track list? Like who the autists all

128
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 12: sit together?

129
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're gonna put it all together.

130
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, We're all gonna sit down and

131
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 8: we're gonna figure out how this whole thing works. Because

132
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 8: the truth is, again we are connected, we are from

133
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 8: different cities, but the story is the same. So it's

134
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 8: gonna be deeper than just doing songs. This is telling

135
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 8: his story. Yeah, this is more so, and unlike any

136
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 8: show that you've ever seen, this isn't just about you know,

137
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 8: lights and cameras and all this other stuff.

138
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 9: We are literally bretering, like from beginning to end.

139
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 8: So we have to tell that story and amalgamate that

140
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 8: story to make people understand why this is important.

141
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 9: This is deeper than just a genre.

142
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 8: This is deeper than just all it's just a bunch

143
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 8: of black folks on stage, Like, this is history between

144
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 8: us New Edition and Tony Braxon. It's one hundred and

145
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 8: fifty million records. Got so, So the thing is is

146
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 8: that that that has to be celebrated and this is deeper. This,

147
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 8: This is why we urge everybody to come because this

148
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 8: is history. This is something you will never see anywhere

149
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 8: else in in decades.

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 9: So it's bigger than us.

151
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: Can we expound on the brotherhood you know between all

152
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: of y'all, man, you know, I love seeing all of

153
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: y'all together after all these years. What have y'all learned

154
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: about forgiveness and just staying together as brothers?

155
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: We audition and boys, Well, I could say, go ahead, gohead,

156
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: you said.

157
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 6: I've said before in talking about the fact that when

158
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 6: you're talking about true brotherhood, it's a real true brotherhood

159
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 6: and we're like real siblings. And I've said that that's

160
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 6: why you see we go through our ups and downs,

161
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 6: our battles. We then had some ups and downs and

162
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 6: all of the above, but at this stage of our lives,

163
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 6: when we come together, man, it's like it's just nothing

164
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 6: but laughter. It's like, at this point of our lives,

165
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 6: we didn't been through a lot, and I'm sure there's

166
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 6: more to deal with as far as challenges go, but

167
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 6: we've come full circles just as grown men, just as

168
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 6: as human beings, and and we have fun when we

169
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: come together.

170
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, y'all need to talk with y'all

171
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 5: just like, look.

172
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 4: This this is the deal again. We this is the

173
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: first time that we've even come together in this circumstance,

174
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Other times it's been you know,

175
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: we've been on shows with with BBD, We've done a

176
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: few shows with Johnny and Bobby and you know, and

177
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: we I think we did one gig that we all

178
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: were together. But I feel like in order for the

179
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: energy to actually get to the place where it's supposed

180
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: to be something like that, a break bread moment has

181
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: to happened. You know, some things, you know, some things

182
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: that we might have on our hearts may need to

183
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 4: come out, you know what I'm saying. I mean, that's

184
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 4: that's what brotherhood is about, you know. And and I'm

185
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: a big fan of atonement guys. You know what I'm

186
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: saying I'm a big fan.

187
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: Of of of of.

188
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: Letting it go, especially at the age that we're all at.

189
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 4: You know, I'm trying. I'm trying to. Yeah, man, I'm trying.

190
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 4: I'm trying to. I'm in I'm in coach mode. You

191
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I'm really trying to be in

192
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: coach mode.

193
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: This is the time.

194
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: Let's go out, let's make some money, and let's entertain

195
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 4: these people and be on That's.

196
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 13: All conversation, like that initial conversation.

197
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 10: But we did.

198
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 8: What he was saying was it's it's one of those

199
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 8: things where because we're on the road and because we

200
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 8: have the time, it's going to be one of those

201
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 8: organic things. We don't want to make this a melo

202
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 8: drama and it ain't no negativity, ain't no mess like

203
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 8: like you know what I'm saying, None of that ship

204
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 8: excuse me, none of that stuff like it. It's really

205
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 8: just about understanding how important this meant or this was,

206
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 8: and not only to the fans but to us. So

207
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 8: this is what we're doing. We're celebrating, we're going to

208
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 8: have a good time. We're gonna go on the road

209
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 8: and we're gonna sing and dance our asses off.

210
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 9: Absolutely, We're gonna give people the greatest show they've ever

211
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 9: seen in their life.

212
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: You have fun doing this, have fun doing it.

213
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 14: That's right, Michael.

214
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 12: Anybody ever tell you that you look like Yo Gotti.

215
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 15: We took the peture together at what was that the

216
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 15: BET Awards, so there's a picture.

217
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 14: Of him and not standing side by side. It was

218
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 14: just cool to meet him too.

219
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 15: I think he was right at the beginning of him

220
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 15: coming through the door.

221
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 14: He was hustling. He was standing.

222
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 15: Outside on the red cop it with not no bodyguards

223
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 15: and all that.

224
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 14: He looked like he was.

225
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 15: He had his crewel there, but he was a little

226
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 15: more loose and it was It was good. We just

227
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 15: looked at each other like okay, and we just smiled.

228
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 16: It was like, oh, so y'all looked like y'all could

229
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 16: be brothers.

230
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 15: Everybody said, I think, what's one of the kids looked

231
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 15: at the TV. It was like that, and it couldn't.

232
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 13: Figure it out.

233
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 15: You know, one of my kids, like he looked like that.

234
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 15: I don't know if it was Shilah Starler was one

235
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 15: of them. They was a little you know, it was little.

236
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 14: Yeah. So it was all good and shout out to

237
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 14: him man, hell of a CEO.

238
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: Now, what do you think there's missing in the R

239
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: and B game right now? Why don't you think there's

240
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: more R and B groups?

241
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: They're missing us?

242
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 14: Yeah?

243
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, you know, I just.

244
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 6: Think the times is changed. And that's the thing that

245
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 6: we understand about time. Uh, and the world is constantly

246
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 6: going and we've seen nothing stays the same. And the

247
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 6: part of the thing is that we have to learn

248
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 6: and have the attitude and take that mindset that you know,

249
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 6: you have to learn how to work, continue to do

250
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 6: what we do in that compromise that we are, but

251
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 6: also understand where the world is and figure out how

252
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 6: we can fit in it, because well, ain't stopping.

253
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 10: For us that thinks. We live in a YouTube society

254
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 10: and everybody's selfish. Nobody wants to share with their friends

255
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 10: or their brothers and their cousins. Nobody wants to make

256
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 10: a group. Everybody wants their own shit, absolutely with.

257
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: Their own money.

258
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 14: Well go ahead, No I'm not going before you. I'll

259
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 14: go means might got an R and B group and

260
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 14: to cut some are I was just going to make a point.

261
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 15: But if you want to jump in, jump, I was

262
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 15: gonna say, bro Honestly, I think it started at the Recordly,

263
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 15: I think people that are hired now some of them

264
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 15: don't have an eye for talent.

265
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 14: They have an eye for their computer.

266
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 15: Sometimes you have to go in the street, like we

267
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 15: met in the street. You know, they're singing to be closed,

268
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 15: and I think they look at it as the hits

269
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 15: of the computer makes them a hit group.

270
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 14: But it's so much more to it.

271
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 15: And back in the day, like for myself as the CEO,

272
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 15: I stayed the two in the morning and kept looking

273
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 15: at the pictures, listening to the music, the an R

274
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 15: and the people at the office. Now they're on the

275
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 15: red carpet before the artists get there. So the responsibility

276
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 15: and the care the detail is missing. And if someone

277
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 15: would just slow down and say, yo, how many times

278
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 15: we gotta look at the Grammys and not one R

279
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 15: and B group is on the shove right right? And

280
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 15: the first time we see in an R and B

281
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 15: group in the last five years, well, you know, we

282
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 15: saw what Bruno on them did, but that was a

283
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 15: different thing. I'm talking about someone from the hood, like

284
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 15: a yoga signal audition Boys to Men. Jagged Edge is

285
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 15: when Wan Suns was on there, and Jesse gave them

286
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 15: the shot. That's the first time we seen black kids

287
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 15: on the Grammys ever in a long time. And that's

288
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 15: where it starts. It starts younger and Scott's shot at

289
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 15: the office or it's gonna have to come from us.

290
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: I don't think people are looking for talent no more.

291
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: I think they're looking for people that are just doing.

292
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely you don't even have to have a record deal.

293
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 4: You get the numbers and then you get a record deal,

294
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, And really just understand that

295
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: there is a blueprint, you understand, a blueprint that we

296
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: followed to get to where we are.

297
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

298
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: There's the groups of old of our time that actually

299
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: helped shape the.

300
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: Entertainment value of all of us. You know what I'm saying.

301
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: So all these artists have to do is keep looking

302
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: at the blueprints, because the blueprints still exists.

303
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: That longevity just means.

304
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 4: That you did something very very right. You understand and

305
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: understanding behind it is. They're not looking for longevity, They're

306
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: looking for the quick fix. Social media is the fastest

307
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: way to become famous, but also the quickest way to

308
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: lose everything.

309
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 8: You know what I say, like everybody's obsessed with going

310
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 8: viral and not understanding a component to the word viral

311
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 8: is virus exactly? Like why would you want to be

312
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 8: a viral? Like there's two things that happens the viruses.

313
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 8: One they get killed or it kills everything, Like why

314
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 8: would you want to why would you want to base

315
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 8: your career off of going viral? Like there's there's no

316
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 8: future in that, and that's what the industry is.

317
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 15: Sean, Honestly, I would have went second on that question,

318
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 15: but I think we should ask Ralph what do he

319
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 15: think is missing?

320
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 14: Because let me, let me, let me finish.

321
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 15: I'm gonna tell you why the responsibility of being up

322
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 15: front is even something that's in you, you're born with.

323
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 15: And I feel like that question you gotta ask yourself.

324
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 15: When he sits and watch a group of YouTube he's

325
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 15: looking to see who reminds him of himself. He's got

326
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 15: that route treasurment. So Rizzo take the mic and tell

327
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 15: us what do you think there?

328
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 14: It is?

329
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: What was the question, what's missing in R and B?

330
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: What's missing about the group's R and B likes?

331
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 17: There's a lot missing that game.

332
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 18: It's all changed, it's not even the same place that

333
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 18: we were in when we started. So everything has changed,

334
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 18: and man, can you hear me? Yeah, I'm sorry, it

335
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 18: seems like everything has changed. Man, nothing's how it used

336
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 18: to be, you know, when we're out here trying to

337
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 18: think about something in particular that can bring it back

338
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 18: like it used to be. And I don't know, I

339
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 18: don't have no answers with all that. I just feel

340
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 18: like it's evolved.

341
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: But it's interesting even you know, for Bible to say

342
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: Ralph was the lead because you were the lead technically,

343
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: but then Bobby went off and was a great leading man,

344
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: and Johnny was a great leading man, and BBD had.

345
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 13: Success like all of y'all could have been a leading you.

346
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 18: Now he's talking about how it started all off A

347
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 18: candy girl Michael Jackson analogy. Can'dy new audition? Candy girl

348
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 18: Jackson's that vibe is what Mike's speaking on. And during

349
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 18: that time period.

350
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 17: It wasn't a whole lot of examples for us.

351
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 18: We just had what was in front of us or

352
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 18: behind us, and trying to take what we had learned

353
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 18: and make something.

354
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: New out of that. Exactly.

355
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 17: It's not adding what was going on in the current times.

356
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 10: You know what there.

357
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 19: And I just think that back when we first started,

358
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 19: what motivated us, what influenced us, the artists, you know,

359
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 19: the Temptations, Blue Magic, the Jackson's his death, that's not

360
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 19: the motivation today. Before we even like knew anything about

361
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 19: how to even get a record deal, because that was

362
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 19: actually the furthest.

363
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Thing from my mind.

364
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 19: There was no way that you do that to approach that.

365
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 19: So our main motivation was to how do we put

366
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 19: on a good show. And we've rehearsed probably for a

367
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 19: couple of years before we even stepped on the stage,

368
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 19: and we were more excited about making the crowd scream,

369
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 19: you know, than actually making a new record. And so

370
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 19: now today, like Sean said, it's the motivation is how

371
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 19: do I become famous? Not really about how do I

372
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 19: put on a good show.

373
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 5: But it has to feel good.

374
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: Like I said, viv videos of my daughter seven years

375
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: old singing new audition records, which is crazy because it's

376
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: the music is a feeling, and I feel like sometimes

377
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: you don't get that with these artists, Like music doesn't

378
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: last at the time that it does.

379
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 18: Well, you don't think that's a big piece of what's missing.

380
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 18: When I think of it, it's love. Like when we

381
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 18: came up, it was.

382
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 17: A lot of love and right.

383
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 18: And it seems like love is not a part of

384
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 18: the major the topics now it's not. It's not about

385
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 18: it's not even in the music. It's not in the

386
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 18: approach towards when you the passion that we had. We

387
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 18: had love for this. We wanted to do what we

388
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 18: saw the Jackson's doing. We really wanted to make it happen.

389
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 13: You wanted to be great.

390
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 8: The industry, the industry doesn't groom legends anymore. They don't

391
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 8: groom longevity anymore because it doesn't benefit them.

392
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 9: Like think about it when you when.

393
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 8: You have a company and you know that you can

394
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 8: go viral with a kid for fifteen minutes, get your

395
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 8: ad revenue, and then kick them to the side.

396
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 17: Right, and then move on to the next thing.

397
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 9: That's a good money maker to anybody. I was there,

398
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying.

399
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: And the artist suffer, yeah.

400
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 8: But but the bottom line is is that the artist suffer,

401
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 8: but the artists still have the hand. And what I

402
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 8: mean by that is a lot of the things that

403
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 8: we don't like about you know, because I'm be on

404
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 8: group chats with a lot of producers and managers and

405
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 8: stuff like that, and they complain about the same thing,

406
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 8: and my thing.

407
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: Is change it, that's all.

408
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 8: Just change it, stop doing stop chasing the carrot like,

409
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 8: because everybody wants to try to fit in the system,

410
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 8: knowing damn well, it doesn't benefit them. So the music

411
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 8: industry isn't an industry without the music. So change it.

412
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 8: Change the paradigm, change how music is consumed.

413
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 9: Change you know, who has the power to create that

414
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 9: next thing and then.

415
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 8: Hold it so these industry people don't try to put

416
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 8: their grubby hands on trying to make it like a

417
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 8: you know, a viral thing or you know or whatever.

418
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 8: It's partially our fault because we fell into the whole system,

419
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 8: and all we gotta do is change it.

420
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 9: Period.

421
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: Now with Bobby with so many hits, how many hits

422
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: are you going to do on stage?

423
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 14: Oh?

424
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 5: Man to the mic? And then because that's the time

425
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 5: where everybody could take a break.

426
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: You have so many records single, how are you give

427
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: us a break?

428
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 13: Me and break?

429
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know.

430
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 7: It's up it's up to Brook and it's up to

431
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 7: you know, the guys. How much they want me on

432
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 7: the stage.

433
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't.

434
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 7: I don't plan to do no more than the next man.

435
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 7: I know that.

436
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 16: Okay, So for boys and men, how long did it

437
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 16: take y'all to complete a whole song in the studio?

438
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 16: Because you when I say when the song's be going off,

439
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 16: you'd be like, no, no, no. I got some more.

440
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 17: Specific with it.

441
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 12: The Christmas album that.

442
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 16: I bumped all year round, Christmas Dierversations.

443
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: Wow, thank you, my favorite Creciate play all year round.

444
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 12: How only did it take you all to complete a

445
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 12: single song?

446
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you this. It took us two weeks

447
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: to do the Christmas album.

448
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 9: What that's all?

449
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: We had two weeks that's all we had.

450
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: And we recorded it in Europe, London, in London, yes,

451
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 4: with Brian McKnight.

452
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: We sat there because we were on tour.

453
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 4: We were on tour in London, right, we had, Yeah,

454
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 4: we had to meet the deadline and we sat in there.

455
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 4: Of course we wrote songs on the road, you know,

456
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 4: like Sean would call me to his room. He had

457
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 4: joyous song. I came up with why Christmas. And Nate

458
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 4: had a cold December Nights. Mike did no No, Michael's

459
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: Cold December Nights and they had what was the record

460
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: of Share Love, Share Love. So yeah, so the idea,

461
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: like literally to to do a new standard Christmas album

462
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: was It was grueling because we didn't have much time,

463
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: but we wrote the hell out of that. Like every

464
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 4: aspect of it was straight from the you know, the soul,

465
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It was real, real moments.

466
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 4: So we did and we didn't want to make it

467
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 4: all like you know, jingle bells, you know what I mean.

468
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 4: We wanted to make it. We wanted to make it

469
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 4: so that so that so that we could feel it,

470
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, so that you could actually

471
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: play that John straight.

472
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

473
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, once you you know, once the

474
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: standards come and play, you know, of course you can

475
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: make choices, but when you have new Christmas records that

476
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 4: people fall in love with, that's the only choice.

477
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 10: That's why we decided not to make another one.

478
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, I want you please, but if y'all don't

479
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 16: need to, because that that's one of my favorite albums.

480
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that.

481
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 12: Why did you kill Give Love on Christmas Daily? Because

482
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 12: that's my favorite Christmas song?

483
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 16: Like y'all was singing these Christmas songs like women were

484
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 16: leaving y'alls.

485
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: Because they were.

486
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 10: That's all I had to give. I didn't have money

487
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 10: back then.

488
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 14: All I have with loved offer.

489
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 20: What is it like for y'all when y'all are on

490
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 20: stages and doing the different things that y'all are doing,

491
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 20: and you run into people like Jess who are still

492
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 20: filling the music's impactfully, but also different generations and things

493
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 20: are being recreated TikTok and all these different places.

494
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 8: It's the biggest compliment ever. Yeah, the fact that these

495
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 8: songs out are older than some of our kids and

496
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 8: people are still enjoying them, and it just it is

497
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 8: proof positive of I guess the work that we put

498
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 8: in and the type of music that will last way

499
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 8: after we're gone again. What Ralph was saying is we

500
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 8: do this for the love. We did it for the love,

501
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 8: and we continue to do this for the love. I mean,

502
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 8: it's nice that we get paid well for it, but ultimately,

503
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 8: what you're going to see and what people are going

504
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 8: to witness on stage is love. Why we do what

505
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 8: we do. And I wanted to touch too about how

506
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 8: the fact that the industry is made not reaching back

507
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 8: to history uncool. It's like when I see a lot

508
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 8: of young kids like talking, they talk a lot.

509
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 9: That's that old shit it, yeah, but that's that good ship.

510
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 13: You know.

511
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 8: The the reason why songs last as long as they

512
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 8: do is because it just like Ricky even mentioned, like

513
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 8: they're idols, were the Jacksons and Blue Magic and the stylistics,

514
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 8: like you got to reach back to history to understand

515
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 8: how to move forward in the future. And the bottom

516
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 8: line is that a lot of these kids don't understand

517
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 8: what was, which is why the sound of it And

518
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 8: let's be honest, because y'all radio folks, y'all know the

519
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 8: sound quality is different.

520
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 9: Y'all know it don't hit here. It's just a bunch

521
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 9: of sonics.

522
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 8: It's just a bunch of drums and sound effects.

523
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 5: But it don't change a lot.

524
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: Right when I do R and B parties, right, y'all,

525
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: records ring like newer records even more to the point

526
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: where it's like I'm watching people do the dance and

527
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: this is festival. So it's like with different groups. I

528
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 2: would say with y'all, definitely Mary J. Blige, it hits

529
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: different because those songs keep going and these are younger kids.

530
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: He could be twenty one year olds, These could be

531
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: nineteen year olds in college when we do these parties.

532
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: But it's still hits that make me happy.

533
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 9: What was the kids say about low frequency?

534
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 8: Like a lot of the songs, unfortunately not all of them,

535
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 8: but a lot of the songs have very low frequency.

536
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 8: It's the reason why these songs that we've done for

537
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 8: the past what forty years fellas like in some MUDs,

538
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 8: you know, but that they still ring true because again

539
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 8: it still has that thick analog feel to it.

540
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean?

541
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 16: Something right now in twenty twelve, my baby father played

542
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 16: me mister telephone man.

543
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 12: That's how I got a baby right.

544
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 21: Now, mister telephone Damn if it was that easy.

545
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 20: So you talked about you talked about the not being

546
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 20: cool to throw back to like you know, legends and

547
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 20: iconic moments and music. How much of the business has

548
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 20: made it where that's why the kids are doing that

549
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 20: and has it made it hard for you guys trying

550
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 20: to do business because of that feeling?

551
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 8: Well, first off, let me say just to answer the

552
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 8: last part, our business is doing well. And this this

553
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 8: is the crazy part too, that a lot of people

554
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 8: don't get because we're not always on the front pages

555
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 8: of certain websites and things that nature, that they don't

556
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 8: think that we're doing well. As you look around, you

557
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 8: see everybody's skin glowing.

558
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Come on.

559
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 20: That note channel.

560
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 13: We're good.

561
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 5: To book them and see their numbers.

562
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 8: And that's the thing is like the industry has got

563
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 8: everybody so gassed to think that, Yo, if you're not

564
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 8: on this this particular platform, then you're not doing well.

565
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 8: And again this is this is proof positive. Like we're

566
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 8: about to do Arenas thirty dates.

567
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: I love it, We're fine. Let me.

568
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 15: Again, let me say this like honestly, Envy, it means

569
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 15: a lot to us when you're in New Orleans and

570
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 15: you make that call twenty minutes before we hit the stage,

571
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 15: sorry and say, BEV leave me some tickets. He's always

572
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 15: in the front, singing and stepping with us, and that

573
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 15: means a lot. And I thought that was part of

574
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 15: what you asked. What do we feel when we see y'all?

575
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 15: It feels good, bro, because you're not being you know,

576
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 15: the radio guy that got you it being someone that

577
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 15: enjoys the music. And that's probably why your tickets is

578
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 15: always there.

579
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: But this group is one that I see every time

580
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: y'all in town, every time I'm in the town, because

581
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: it gives me that feeling.

582
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 5: I can see you once, I can see you twice.

583
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 5: I know the dances.

584
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: You know.

585
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 5: If somebody gets hurt, I can jump in for y'all.

586
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: I don't think.

587
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 5: My question is is there a song that you guys

588
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 5: hate to do that?

589
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 2: Like, I just don't want to do that song y'all

590
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: looking at you, I know what was one?

591
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 5: And Still of the Night?

592
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 13: I hate that song.

593
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 4: I'll tell you why you hate it. So so so

594
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 4: we're in Salt Lake City and and uh, the record label.

595
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: I'm sure BIF has something to do with this. Ship

596
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 4: the record label and was like, yo, we need a

597
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 4: record for the Jackson's Mini series, and we wanted to

598
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 4: be in Instill in the Night.

599
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 14: Now.

600
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: We could think of so many.

601
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 4: Other records that we would have been excited to do,

602
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, But they wanted in the

603
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 4: Still of the Night.

604
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: So okay, it's a very easy record, guys, you know

605
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: what I mean.

606
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 4: Of course, with our harmony structures, we kind of we

607
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: kind of do it a little bit different because it's

608
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: not the regular triad. But the issue is is nobody

609
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: wanted to sing the lead.

610
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 9: It was a day off weekend and we wanted to

611
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 9: go snowmobill.

612
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: Exactly right, exactly, so nobody wanted to sing the lead.

613
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: So anything right right?

614
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 17: Right?

615
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 4: No, no, no, hell no, we don't want to sing

616
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: the league because it's in the other night, right.

617
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: So we flipped the coin.

618
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: That's how we did every That's how we That's how

619
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 4: we cleared every alter case, every situation.

620
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: We would just want to slip the coin.

621
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: One and we left, We left the studio. We left

622
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 4: his ass right there.

623
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 9: We left him and we did our parts and flipped

624
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 9: the coin. And who was going to sing lead?

625
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 10: Nate one, We.

626
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 13: Love you.

627
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 10: I don't even remember, bro. I was so pissed off

628
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 10: looking out the window, snow cap mountains and ship hilarious.

629
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 9: Pumi addition has to yeah, I want to know that.

630
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's all y'all hate to do?

631
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 6: I love doing if it is in love, but I

632
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 6: don't like doing it.

633
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 4: I don't because it's like by the times like this,

634
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 4: you're like, I'm telling what you don't like doing.

635
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 7: I don't like to do the dance. It's a real

636
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 7: difficult I dig.

637
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 11: For me, it would probably be You're not my kind

638
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 11: of girl? What Yeah, lyrics, It leans in on the

639
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 11: dance side. This one move that we do what you

640
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 11: know later on my ass hurts everything.

641
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 20: Dance moves in like things you're not going to touch

642
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 20: this time around.

643
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 11: On way, we are definitely gonna I think we do

644
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 11: want to give people a different experience. Like m b said,

645
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 11: some of the classics stuff that people have come to

646
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 11: know us for if it isn't love, maybe even you're

647
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 11: not my kind of girl. Some of those things we're

648
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 11: gonna keep in place. We might add some variances, but

649
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 11: I think people want to see us do something new

650
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 11: and fresh and different, and we're excited about the challenge

651
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 11: of coming up with those things. For whether it's the

652
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 11: poison breakdown or every little step you know, where people

653
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 11: might understand in the aisles, like Mike said, they're anticipating the.

654
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 5: Move, but we're gonna throw a curveball.

655
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 11: This time around, and that's what it's all about. I

656
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 11: think the reason why we've been able to stand the

657
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 11: test of time for forty plus years is because we've.

658
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: Always challenged ourselves.

659
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 11: You know, we always really felt like we had to

660
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 11: go deep because the bar was raised for us from

661
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 11: some of the greats that we used to love to

662
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 11: see and when they poured into us, I mean Lakeside.

663
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 11: We would stand on the side of the stage every

664
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 11: night when we were on tour with them, just taking

665
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 11: that energy in. I remember time where my uncle would

666
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 11: have a sit Indian style on the floor, you know,

667
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 11: in a little meditation polls and he would play the

668
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 11: Jackson's Live album and he would tell us to close

669
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 11: our eyes so we can ingest. You know what that was,

670
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 11: and it's paid dividends. So we definitely want to give

671
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 11: people a different experience.

672
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: But you can't do everything that ballplayers get older, they

673
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: even got to adjust their game.

674
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 13: But the.

675
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 4: Right thank you, You gotta appreciate.

676
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: You, gotta tell you.

677
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: Gotta tell Brooke that because he ain't trying to hear

678
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: that expect that they want the same look from twenty one.

679
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 5: He'd be like, you try, that's what you're telling you.

680
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Try.

681
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 5: Sometimes the running man just ran out.

682
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: The walking man.

683
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: It's something that you all appreciate about each other than

684
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: now that you probably took for granted back then.

685
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 13: Matthew Ralph, Yeah.

686
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 17: I think everybody's gifts, you know. I think back then

687
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 17: we didn't realize how talented is.

688
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 18: I don't think back in the days we realized how

689
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 18: talented everybody really was and what they had to bring

690
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 18: to the tablet had to offer. When we first started,

691
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 18: we was trying to do like a mixture of the

692
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 18: Jackson's Missed the temptations.

693
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 17: That was our idea of us. So everybody was supposed

694
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 17: to have a role.

695
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 18: When we came to the Candygirl album, it was more

696
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 18: of this Jackson five ish vibe, which we would have

697
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 18: switched it out the gate. It would have came int

698
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 18: gate a little bit more with everybody's talent talents being

699
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 18: showcased out the gate. So I think that what I've

700
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 18: learned is the brother how smart everybody is, how much

701
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 18: they actually added to the table and brought to the

702
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 18: table that you take for granted because everybody's.

703
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 17: Supposed to do that part, which just taught you do

704
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 17: your role.

705
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 18: But then you look back later on, it'say, what if

706
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 18: that he didn't know how to do that, or he

707
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 18: didn't have that give, this might not have.

708
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 17: Worked at all. That's what I've learned.

709
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 18: I've learned that everybody's gifted, extremely smart and knows exactly

710
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 18: what we're doing. It has gotten better over time and

711
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 18: we're really a real brotherhood.

712
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 13: What about y'all.

713
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 4: I think that in the beginning of our career, we

714
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 4: actually we were groomed, you know what I'm saying by

715
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 4: great people. We had, you know, Michael Bivens, we had

716
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: Kylil Rountree, we had Jerl Busby, and a lot of

717
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 4: the things that they were doing was cultivating what they

718
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: already knew existed at some point it Mike would tell

719
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: you, you know, they didn't know what to do with us

720
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 4: because we weren't doing what everybody else was doing at

721
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: the time. So, you know, when it came down to it,

722
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: it was more so, you know, knowing what we were

723
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 4: capable of vocally, because that's what the nucleus was. How

724
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 4: good can we be with our harmonies? How can we

725
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 4: set ourselves aside from the rest of the people that

726
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 4: are singing at this time?

727
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I.

728
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 4: Think that that was what we focused on more than anything.

729
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 4: We didn't really get into the brotherhood until I guess

730
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: things started going awry, you know what I mean, Because

731
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 4: there's not a there's there's always levels to this, you know,

732
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 4: it's ups and down. So when things started getting to

733
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 4: a certain point. I think that's when we said, Okay,

734
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: now we have to hold on to each other. Now

735
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 4: we have to hold on to the brotherhood. And as

736
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 4: you can see, we're lesser brother you know what I'm saying.

737
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 4: Because when the chips are down, you know, it's that's

738
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 4: that's a real thing, you know what I'm saying. Everybody

739
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 4: has to stay as strong as you did in the

740
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 4: beginning when you were doing it for nothing, you understand.

741
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 4: So that's what it is. And then we just started

742
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 4: realizing when things were at a certain level that we

743
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 4: needed each other more than anything. We already knew what

744
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 4: we were capable of, I mean, and we gave each

745
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: other roles all the way from the beginning. I mean,

746
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 4: there's always been the business guy, you know what I mean.

747
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: Shawn's always been kind of like the the creative and

748
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 4: the balance of it all.

749
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: And I'm just a crazy motherfucker, you know what I'm saying,

750
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

751
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 4: And and but them, because I have a responsibility to

752
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 4: the integrity of my group, I had to.

753
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: Bring that down.

754
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 4: And that was because I have people like Brooke and

755
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: and you know they they saw it and in their

756
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 4: in their realm, and they.

757
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: Were like, Okay, let's let's bring him in. Let's let's

758
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: draw bring.

759
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 4: Him back so he don't end up in a in

760
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 4: a different way, you know what I mean.

761
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: And and no bull crap, I'm gonna tell you this.

762
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 4: My dude, the dude that saved my life in numerous

763
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 4: instances that he he don't even remember.

764
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: Is this guy right here you understand, yup? He has.

765
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 4: And because Kyle used to say it all the time,

766
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 4: you ain't gonna be like that motherfucker.

767
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 13: Remember that name.

768
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: Was Publish, You be like that motherfucker. I was like,

769
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: but I love him, you know what I'm saying Like.

770
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 4: That, and and and and it was. It was an

771
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 4: unspoken connection until I met him and then he literally

772
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: I will tell that story another time. But this guy

773
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 4: right here, man has.

774
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 1: He's checked on me even when like he wasn't.

775
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: In New addition, you know what I'm saying, he checked

776
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 4: on me, Like, yo, dude, you in atl I'm like.

777
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, you know what I'm saying. What we're doing,

778
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

779
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 4: But that's the thought process. The thought process is everybody

780
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 4: got us to a certain point. It was up to

781
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 4: the ups and the downs, the struggles to create the

782
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 4: nucleus that boys to men is right now that to

783
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 4: know what we are all capable of, and we all

784
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 4: play our roles perfectly, which is the reason why God

785
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 4: is blessed us to be so successful at this.

786
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 3: I want to go back to someone Ralph said, when

787
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: you talked about, you know, leaning into everybody, leaning in

788
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 3: everybody's talents earlier, when everybody broke off and had success

789
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: outside in the audition, did y'all ever look at each

790
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: other and be like, I didn't know they could do that,

791
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: Like I didn't.

792
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 13: Know BBD to do that. I ain't nobody could do that.

793
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 10: Not me.

794
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 18: I was just static every time something blew off, when

795
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 18: somebody was winning, I was ecstatic.

796
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 17: I was at home like day go. That's Bobby was the.

797
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 18: Dance entertainer, mastering our projects absolutely. You know, when we

798
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 18: grew up, I just knew he was better than all

799
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 18: of us at dancing and entertaining and just just being live.

800
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 17: You know what I'm saying. He was that dude, and

801
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 17: so not the world.

802
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 18: The world not being able to see that as a

803
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 18: part of our group, there was a big dynamic missing it.

804
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 18: So when he's when he stepped out and he did it,

805
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 18: It's like, yes, they get to see that we have

806
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 18: that in us too, because there was a lot of

807
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 18: stuff that was becoming real candy girl, real them boys

808
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 18: is real soft or this bubble gum and we don't

809
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 18: get bubble gum.

810
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 17: So you don't you don't hate it, but you don't

811
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 17: like it either.

812
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 18: So having another body, and when BBD started representing and

813
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 18: Bobby started representing, Johnny's in the group. Now he's doing

814
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 18: his thing with his grown master. He's just turning everything

815
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 18: to what we I really knew what we had and

816
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 18: letting the world see it. So for me, it was

817
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 18: just finally the world's getting a chance to see what

818
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 18: were really made out of.

819
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 8: Ralph let me let me, let me give you all

820
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 8: y'all flowers and say that this has been no group,

821
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 8: white or black, that is done what New Audition has done.

822
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: Ever, not to me, not for us.

823
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 8: There's never been a group alive, past, present, or probably future,

824
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 8: that has been a group broke up, all went platinum,

825
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 8: came back again and went platinum again.

826
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 13: Only one literally, Yeah.

827
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.

828
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 8: So I just want to just put that out there,

829
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 8: like they've done something that is unprecedented.

830
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 4: And the only way that that could possibly happen is

831
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 4: if we make it happen.

832
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: We can help.

833
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 4: If we can help a group get to that point,

834
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 4: then that's the only way.

835
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: They have to follow the blueprint.

836
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 4: If they're not going to follow the blue blueprint, then

837
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 4: it's it's not possible.

838
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 8: You can't be successful without following what we've done exactly.

839
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 12: And speaking of that, one more big boy too low time.

840
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Yes, I love them, Thank you for them.

841
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 12: I mean we're talking about the boy got the voice.

842
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I am so ready to tap in.

843
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 4: And you know, God blessed them definitely, and they're passionate

844
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 4: about it. And with with different opportunities that come my way,

845
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 4: I'm going to definitely make sure that you know, we

846
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 4: we we tap in.

847
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: You know, Oh man, thank you so much.

848
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 11: When you think about some of the things that allow

849
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 11: you to be successful, you know is discipline, and they

850
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 11: do and they do.

851
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 5: On top of the discipline, you have to have consistence.

852
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely. It's something that.

853
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 11: We had, as Rick said, early in our career before

854
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 11: the opportunity presented itself. You know, we were prepared because

855
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 11: of the consistent consistency time, rehearse, rehearse, rehears. But we

856
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 11: see them putting their videos out and make sure that

857
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 11: they're staying consistent, working on their craft.

858
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: You know that they have to have.

859
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 13: To get to.

860
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: Touch thee. Yeah, we're going to be on. We got

861
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: to definitely make oh Man.

862
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 14: Come on, you know what to Charlamagne.

863
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 15: Like, there's quiet storms in our group and you guys

864
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 15: just really get to hear the music, send the concept.

865
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 15: You don't get to get on the conference calls where

866
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 15: this shit really goes down. He don't come in the

867
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 15: dressing room where this shit really goes down. But I

868
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 15: would just say this and Rizzo, you know, he's always

869
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 15: gonna say it so eloquently because that's how he speaks.

870
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 15: But you know, Ralph's important. When he shows up to

871
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 15: do the show. It gives us a sense of strength.

872
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 15: When he walks through the door. It's like Brady coming

873
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 15: through the door. Yes, it is what it is. And

874
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 15: you know when Bob is hurting or his leg and

875
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 15: he's just like, fuck it, let's go.

876
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 14: I'll just stand over here.

877
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 15: He's like, basically, I can't do that shit, but I'm

878
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 15: gonna rock this bicrophone and that means everything to the

879
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 15: audience right when we're trying to make a decision. You know,

880
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 15: Big Bro Johnny Gill, he's he's a heavy voice in

881
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 15: our group. You know, he's a he's older, he's wiser,

882
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 15: he's not just a singer, but he's a leader by conversation,

883
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 15: and he keeps us at a high standing. Just just

884
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 15: some ship we not accepting, and that's just that. And

885
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 15: in prayer that's mister Ricky Bell. Whenever we need to

886
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 15: hear a good kind word, he'll close the car. And

887
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 15: that's so powerful to keep us together. And of course,

888
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 15: you know Bro over there when he was speaking about

889
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 15: the dance moves, it's because he makes us reach for excellence.

890
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 14: And that's Ronnie.

891
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 15: You know what I'm saying. When we want to go

892
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 15: sit down and grab some water. Nah nah, let's go

893
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 15: two more times. And you see that in his performance

894
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 15: on stage. So I was just gonna say what makes

895
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 15: us tight? What Ralph said is everyone brings something to

896
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 15: the table, and I want to say it on the

897
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 15: Breakfast Club because I don't know when we'll all be

898
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 15: back here together.

899
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 18: Hold on, Mike, let me get you before you finish,

900
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 18: And Mike slaughter is the point.

901
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 14: God thanks Zill.

902
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 18: He hands the ball to everywhere he carries the ball,

903
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 18: he knows next play to make. He's thinking of the

904
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 18: next play to make, and he knows who to deliver

905
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 18: the ball to to make sure that we get we

906
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 18: scored the basket.

907
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 14: You know what I'm saying.

908
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 17: We win the game.

909
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 15: Yeah, thanks bro. And I want to say this because

910
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 15: it ain't over. But because of this guy. You know,

911
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 15: he's mature. When I met him, he was just ready

912
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 15: to sponge get all the information. But if it wasn't

913
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 15: for Nate Morris, I would have never been to CEO.

914
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 15: He's seen something in me that I didn't see it myself.

915
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 15: So I always wanted to tell him. I tell him

916
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 15: in Texas, I tell him on the phone, but I'm

917
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 15: gonna say it to the world.

918
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 14: Thank you.

919
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 15: He changed my life. He helped me see something I

920
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 15: didn't see. I was nineteen. I know my words in

921
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 15: Curson was heavy, but that's because I loved y'all and

922
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 15: I wanted y'all to be the best, and I just

923
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 15: wanted to stop.

924
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 6: Come on, let me finish, let me finish.

925
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 13: What did you see what.

926
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 10: I mean? I just it just seemed like from the

927
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 10: outside looking and you gotta remember we we weren't in

928
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 10: the industry at the time, but you know, from the

929
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 10: outside looking in, I saw what what Ralph just said,

930
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying. It just felt like he

931
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 10: was a guy that kind of held the group together.

932
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 10: He had, you know, put everybody in different positions, and

933
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 10: at that point, I felt like, you know, it's a

934
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 10: group that we look up to. I mean honestly, and

935
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 10: I mean I've never never told Mike, but I mean

936
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 10: he did. He was. He was my first hero in

937
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 10: the music industry. I mean, that's pretty much what it was.

938
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 10: So for me, it was like, if if he can

939
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 10: do that for them, you got to be able to do.

940
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: It for us.

941
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 13: And that's crazy. Like I said, I just idea.

942
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 17: I thought there was going to.

943
00:43:49,680 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 14: Be real quick, but be able to.

944
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 10: Here's the deal, We're gonna have our conversation. We ain't straight,

945
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 10: but we know we ain't straight, but we all know

946
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 10: we're gonna go get this money. We're gonna please these fans,

947
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 10: and we're gonna figure out what we gotta do. Either

948
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 10: we're gonna fix it or not, but we all gonna

949
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 10: go out here and do what.

950
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 13: We that's a smarter move.

951
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

952
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well let me ask the question, Biff, if you

953
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 3: could go back and renegotiate that first deal with boys

954
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 3: and men with everything you know, now, what would you

955
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 3: do differently?

956
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: That's a good question. That's a good question.

957
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 15: So honestly, I think some of those deals was something

958
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 15: that Gerald suggested. See he's the one that said be

959
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 15: an executive. He said do a production, do publishing do

960
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 15: or I didn't even think like that, you know what

961
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 15: I mean? And if the same choken, he was totally

962
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 15: against it. He didn't really like boys to men, you know,

963
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 15: so I'm fighting for them to be heard and to

964
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 15: be seen. He helps him destructure stuff, and I thought

965
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 15: that it was a it was a gamble. And the

966
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 15: thing is like, we never had a lawyer sit in

967
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 15: the room with us when we signed. It was just

968
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 15: us and them. Yeah, and we went through the paperwork

969
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 15: and we just did it. The good thing about it

970
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 15: is it was successful, right, and the record label, honestly,

971
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 15: the record label needed a hit to keep the light

972
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 15: song that we mother fucking kept the light song right.

973
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 15: We were thinking about it, right, and then so so

974
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 15: to think to think the thing is this even in

975
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 15: all of that. What was the easier way to do

976
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 15: it was fifty to fifty. Now remember, and their fifty

977
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 15: is for them. In my fifty, there's one. And so

978
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 15: a lot of the stuff that might, you know, look

979
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 15: a little different later, it's through success. So a lot

980
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 15: of that stuff there might have been the things that

981
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 15: made it look a little crazy, made it feel a

982
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 15: little different, but I was crazy. Yeah, But at the

983
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 15: end of the day, what was able to come out

984
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 15: of it and what was able to do.

985
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 14: We didn't fail, or we wouldn't be here.

986
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, Mike and the fall that was

987
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 6: Joe was your mentor. And just like what you know

988
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 6: we were talking about earlier about the other guys talking

989
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 6: about us being their mentors. And it's so funny because

990
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 6: when you influenced or you're being taught the game, you're

991
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 6: rocking with the game. You're rocking with it, and you're

992
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 6: learning as you go. But I can say this in

993
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 6: a nutshell Listen, we all have been through a journey,

994
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 6: been through some ups and downs and changes and turnarounds

995
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 6: in our lives. And when you look at where we

996
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 6: are today, we're blessed.

997
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: We're all blessed and guess what, so what we had

998
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: to go through to get here.

999
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, here, I'm not mad

1000
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 6: at anybody because this is like looking at God and

1001
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 6: smacking them in the face, because you're saying, I'm mad

1002
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 6: that you took me through this.

1003
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 9: To get here towards riving today, I'm grateful.

1004
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 6: And nobody has walked the road and that has been easy,

1005
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 6: and that has been just that simple.

1006
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 9: It doesn't work like that.

1007
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree totally. I agree, Johnny, But you know,

1008
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 4: under the circumstances as human beings, you know what I mean, emotions, emotions,

1009
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 4: me and everything. As human beings, you know, you have

1010
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 4: thought process. We have to respect the human in each

1011
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 4: other because it might be easier for some people to

1012
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 4: get over things than others, you know what I'm saying.

1013
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: Like for me, you know, my getting over it is

1014
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 4: very simple. I was the youngest and I lived in

1015
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 4: the projects. This man saved my life. You understand, he

1016
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,439
Speaker 4: gave me an opportunity by the grace of God. God

1017
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: saved my life through bi He gave us the opportunity.

1018
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 4: So in my mind, he did what he was supposed

1019
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 4: to do for me. It was up to me to

1020
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 4: go the next to the next place. It was up

1021
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 4: to us to do that, and we did. You know

1022
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 4: what I mean, under the circumstance of forgiveness and all

1023
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 4: of those things. A communication is everything, you know what

1024
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 4: I mean, And it does not take away from the

1025
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 4: fact that you guys are our heroes, our mentors.

1026
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: You understand that way.

1027
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 10: And again, like I said, I don't I don't speak

1028
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 10: much because I only want to speak about stuff that matters.

1029
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 10: But in this case, like I said, you know, we've

1030
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 10: been able to be where being the nucleus that we've

1031
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,479
Speaker 10: been for the last few years, and like one said,

1032
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 10: we all just got into the room together for the

1033
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 10: first time in a long time. And that's the feat

1034
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 10: in itself. I would say, even with with whatever it

1035
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 10: might be, whatever we'll handle or deal with whatever, it's

1036
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 10: a feat in itself. There's a lot of groups out

1037
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 10: here today that you know, get emotional about things and

1038
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 10: don't know how to handle business correctly, right and the kids.

1039
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 10: You handle business first, and then you handle your family

1040
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 10: stuff in the back room and not on the internet

1041
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 10: in the media. So that being said, again, it ain't

1042
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 10: nothing but love in this room. Whatever else we're gonna

1043
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 10: deal with we'll deal with deal with us.

1044
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I love, I love the fact that your

1045
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 2: guys are coming together, right because you'll all had individual

1046
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 2: battles in the press.

1047
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 5: And the public, in the group and all that. But

1048
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 5: the fact that you look at how many you know,

1049
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 5: even rappers and R and B singers on this wall.

1050
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 5: Let's no longer.

1051
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 2: Ahead, you know what I mean, the fact that there'd

1052
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 2: have been so many should have or could have or

1053
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 2: dann that would have been dope, y'all are actually pulling

1054
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 2: it off like that could have been.

1055
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 5: It's going to happen on this tour.

1056
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 9: That's why this is important to see.

1057
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 2: That two amazing groups that can really sing and can dance,

1058
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 2: Well say y'all, but singing dance to pull off this

1059
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 2: show is amazing. And it ain't a small Beacon theater.

1060
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: No disrespect to becing theater, y'all doing arenas So for that,

1061
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: we applause, y'all. And I know I'm so excited to

1062
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: see multiple dates and I'm gonna be on the side

1063
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 2: of the stage just the case one of the members

1064
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 2: ain't there.

1065
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 5: I know, both groups.

1066
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 2: If y'all name your uniform, because it's about to be

1067
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 2: reverse racis because I don't see that many light skin.

1068
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 13: That's why it was so successful.

1069
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 10: Ain't even that light year.

1070
00:49:51,680 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: He ain't that lights year, Ronnie, my wife says, Peanut butter.

1071
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 3: Are y'all helping Bois and men develop their biopic? I

1072
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 3: remember there was rumors of a boys men biopick at

1073
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 3: one time.

1074
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: To see that happen.

1075
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 8: I mean, we're still in the embryonic stages of it,

1076
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 8: still trying to get things together because we want to

1077
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 8: make sure that the story is told the right way,

1078
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 8: because there are a lot of things that by design,

1079
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 8: we have not said. You know, there's been a lot

1080
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 8: of things that's been mentioned about the group and said

1081
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 8: about the groups and things that nature that we.

1082
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 9: Just kind of watched the last kept quiet, you.

1083
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 8: Know what I'm saying, because you know, it's it's funny

1084
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 8: how certain people in the industry tend to think that

1085
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 8: they can score points on us because maybe we don't

1086
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 8: because oh Jesus Christ, I won't gonna say now, but

1087
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 8: but my point, my point is that a lot of

1088
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 8: people tend to try to score points on us because

1089
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 8: we're not affiliated with a gang, or we wouldn't roll

1090
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 8: up on somebody.

1091
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 9: Because we do, and we don't say that. We keep

1092
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 9: it quiet, busy because and.

1093
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 8: A lot of the things that that are said it's

1094
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 8: hilarious to us, especially because when you see the people

1095
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 8: that are actually saying it, you gotta always consider the source, right,

1096
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 8: and when and when you see their positions and the

1097
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 8: lives they're living and things that nature outside of all

1098
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 8: of the shock value of oh, somebody said this, If

1099
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 8: you look a little deeper, you say, oh, okay, that's

1100
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 8: why they said that.

1101
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 12: Now.

1102
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 8: You know. The thing about the industry, though, is that

1103
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 8: everybody knows everything about everybody.

1104
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: If I wanted.

1105
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 8: To come on this this radio show and talk about

1106
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 8: certain people, I know I could because I know exactly

1107
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 8: what happened, who did it?

1108
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 9: The whole nine yards.

1109
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 3: People.

1110
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 15: You know is we're in the error where you could

1111
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 15: just reply with your fingers, right, say what you say.

1112
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 15: You can tell someone meet me at such and such whatever, right,

1113
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 15: But you gotta look at it this way. Within the

1114
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 15: nine of us, I'm sure all of us have been

1115
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 15: through something and learn something. I would say this sitting

1116
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 15: next to Bob. He might have some of the toughest

1117
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 15: skin I've ever seen any individual. Hats and the one

1118
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 15: thing I never seen though I was gonna.

1119
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 14: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

1120
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 15: This was gonna say this, but I've never seen Bob

1121
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 15: really wild out the way you may say it.

1122
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 14: I'm just saying.

1123
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 15: I hear people say ship to Bob to me, and

1124
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 15: I say to myself, I like the way he carries

1125
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 15: himself and sometimes you gotta pop off. But I'm just saying,

1126
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 15: the skin is deep, and we got that somebody in

1127
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 15: our group. That is what you're talking. The ship, the

1128
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 15: ship he got to hear when he's sitting on with

1129
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 15: his kids, that ship just go to the soul.

1130
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 9: And as brothers, we.

1131
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 15: We check somebody when we're around someone and say no, no, no, no, no, no, nigga,

1132
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 15: you can't do that. We're not gonna do that, and

1133
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 15: you're supposed to do that if he But see, the issue.

1134
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: The issue is not us though, you know what I mean,

1135
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: it's the people.

1136
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. Everyone has an opinion, you

1137
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 4: know what I mean. They call it social media, but

1138
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 4: there's nothing social about it at all, you know what

1139
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 4: I mean. The thought process about it is when someone

1140
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 4: says something about you, it's fine, especially if it's true.

1141
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 4: I don't care but I'm tired of people lying about us.

1142
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 4: They lie about us, and we never say nothing. Well,

1143
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 4: I got a messed up knee, I got three schools

1144
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 4: in it, and I'm getting myself together. Before you go there,

1145
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: I want to give him an example of how we

1146
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 4: don't say anything like people been talking about our fourth

1147
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 4: member forever.

1148
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 10: Oh, y'all did this to him. Y'all kicked him out,

1149
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 10: he was sick. Y'all ain't give a shit about him.

1150
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 10: Y'all don't know the story. And that's okay because we

1151
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 10: keep that in. But I tell you one thing we've

1152
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 10: never done. We've never said anything about him until the

1153
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 10: latter years, to make sure that man, if he's not

1154
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 10: here and have a.

1155
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: Career, absolutely absolutely you don't do that.

1156
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 10: So we don't. We don't do that. That's not I mean,

1157
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 10: I'm the least social media guy on the planet. Yes, yes,

1158
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 10: it is no need for I don't live in that space,

1159
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 10: so it's no need to go in there and deal

1160
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 10: with all the craziness.

1161
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 4: So when someone is doing that and telling stories like

1162
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 4: literally fabricated stories, I feel like it's it's just felt

1163
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 4: like time, you know, time to to defend the integrity

1164
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 4: of my group of my fellas, myself, you know what

1165
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 4: I mean. And you know, look, I'm not gonna say

1166
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 4: boys to men. We was the cleanest niggas on the

1167
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 4: planet Earth. You know what I'm saying. We did some stuff.

1168
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, a lot of people. You know,

1169
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure we puts some people off, you know

1170
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 4: what I mean? And right, but at the end of

1171
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 4: the day, we were trying to protect our brand. We

1172
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 4: were trying to protect it. We didn't have Michael bibbins

1173
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 4: on over us anymore to protect us. We didn't have

1174
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 4: Kyle lil Rountree he got murdered.

1175
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We were trying to figure

1176
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: out all kinds of things managerial.

1177
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 4: We have Michael Jackson and Prince telling us to know

1178
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 4: your works and don't let nobody get over on you.

1179
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 4: You know, So we we developed a chip a chip.

1180
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 4: We started looking at everybody like, oh no, you're not

1181
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 4: going to do this to us. You're not going to

1182
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 4: do this to us. So when they hear our voices

1183
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 4: because we were so silent because everybody else was doing

1184
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 4: it for us, now we're assholes, you know, you understand,

1185
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 4: just because we're sitting in the studio and we're working

1186
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 4: on a project, does not mean that we're going to

1187
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 4: be consorting.

1188
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: That's not what boys to men do. When we're in

1189
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: the studio.

1190
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 5: We work.

00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 4: We don't have time to play games, you know what

1192
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,720
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Because we have a We have to please

1193
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 4: these fans, you know, So when someone is saying, you

1194
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:46,359

Speaker 4: of ours, Come on.

1196
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 20: I saw you jump in the comments and say what

1197
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 20: you said. But so why now even address that if

1198
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 20: you know it's not truly.

1199
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,959
Speaker 1: Because I got time. I got a messed up knee.

1200
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 17: I was sitting.

Speaker 1: I got a chance to.

1207
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 4: Let the people who really cared on that page know

1208
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 4: that it was a lie. Now you could choose to

1209
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 4: take it wherever you want. I'm just trying to figure

1210

01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: I think.

1293
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 10: I think it's the same vibe with new addition though,

1294
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 10: because people was like calling him, you know, popcorn, but

1295
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 10: you know, or parking popcorn. I'm saying popcorn.

1296
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: I've been there.

1297
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 5: I've been there.

1298
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1299
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 5: Johnny and Bobby go at people and call people like

1300
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 5: what you say about me.

1301
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 12: I'm laying.

1302
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 13: No, no, he used to play with Johnny.

1303
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I got issues.

1304
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 6: Listen, I'll talk about God in a minute, but I'll

1305
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 6: kick your ass in the next and then I turn

1306
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 6: around and asking for forgiveness.

1307
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 9: Ship not get off, leave us issues, let us love.

1308
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 3: One last question, if the if, the both, if the

1309
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 3: early nineties version of y'all could see this reunion now,

1310
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 3: I could see this tour.

1311
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 5: Now what you think with.

1312
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 12: It?

1313
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: It's long over, dude.

1314
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 9: I think it would have been different.

1315
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 8: It would have been I think it would have actually

1316
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 8: catapulted both groups to another stage because of the synergy

1317
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 8: and because of the importance of it. But again, we

1318
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 8: we we live in a God's timing, and the bottom

1319
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 8: line is it was supposed to happen now at this moment.

1320
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 8: We're older, we're wiser, We understand not just each other,

1321
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 8: but we understand each other's places in our lives. We

1322
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 8: know that by osmosis, we're connected. And again, branch that

1323
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 8: we a branch of the tree.

1324
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying.

1325
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 8: And again let's let's get it twisted. We will always

1326
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 8: pay homage to these guys, you know what I'm saying

1327
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 8: for and thankful for what these guys have done for us.

1328
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 8: And this is our way of telling that story in

1329
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 8: an entertaining way. But two and a half three hours,

1330
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,080
