46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120

00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: I'm just just curious, what.

54
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Are you talking about?

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: Free? Free was iconic.

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: You got it all longer than us.

57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 13: Listen, you gotta so so in order to understand one

58
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 13: O six you gotta understand technology and communication. Right, the

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 13: world was changing from two thousand to twenty fourteen, all

60
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 13: this new technology, you know, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and all

61
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 13: of these things. Yeah, we're coming on the scene. And

62
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 13: so one O six in Park was the global for

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 13: all of this. Right when they started. If you needed

64
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 13: to see the number one video in the world, you

65
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 13: had to go to BET's one O six and part

66
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 13: Now the New Artists one O six in part the

67
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 13: Breaking Stories one on six and part Sports, Fashion, Technology,

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 13: everything One on six and Park.

69
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 12: Was the hub for and so we wouldn't be there,

70
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 12: wouldn't be what we were without Free and AJ at

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 12: the end of the day. So you know, we always

72
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 12: tell them like they're the originals, they're the ogs, I

73
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 12: don't you know. I think different generations grew up with

74
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 12: different hosts, and so everybody likes to pick favorites. But

75
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 12: when it comes to all of the hosts together, we

76
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 12: just know that we're part of this amazing family that

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 12: you know, was able to be such an influence on

78
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 12: the culture that you know to this day. To be

79
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 12: honest with you to this day, I still get more

80
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 12: people that like are from the one O six and

81
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 12: Park family that are now our A list celebrities and

82
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 12: stars that come up here, you know, because of those

83
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 12: connections from then that you know, they still they stick

84
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 12: with you for so long. So we're just so appreciative

85
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 12: of the foundation that we were able to come from

86
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 12: and build.

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 11: And there was no platform for black and brown people,

88
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 11: like especially not a prime time when that was getting.

89
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: Numbered at all.

90
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah back then, and there was.

91
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 8: It was crazy because we honestly didn't know what we

92
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 8: were creating. You know, I was a club promoter. I

93
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 8: was throwing parties where everyone come on.

94
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 9: Yeh was Apparent criticized me about being out and he

95
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 9: was like he never got a side.

96
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Time he was outside.

97
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 8: I used that Wendy hosts, Oh my god, what is

00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 8: my Wednesday night at Cheetah?

99
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Kevin used to come remember before my time.

100
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: That was actually taking at one of your clubs.

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: That was not I was.

102
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: That was the radio when Charlamade was sitting on the

103
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 3: about the host this morning.

104
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 14: You know, you were promoting.

105
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 9: So you were promoters.

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, New York was mine for a long time.

107
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 9: And Okay, so from promoter here in New York to

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 9: Park d Yeah.

109
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: Because so what happened was BT was looking for a host.

110
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 8: At the time, they already knew Free well Free was

111
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 8: already picked and actually shout out to George Daniels. George

112
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 8: Daniels George's music room. He introduced me to BT executives

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 8: and I took them around and that's how it all happened.

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 8: Took him a couple of the parties and then they

115
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 8: had me auditioned and literally like three weeks later, I

116
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 8: was on live television Green Crazy.

117
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 4: How diff was it for you because you didn't have

118
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: any history in that.

119
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 8: No, not at all, not at all. I mean it

120
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 8: was it was crazy. I mean you, I was got

121
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 8: a lot of hate you had. I can't even remember

122
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 8: their names. The morning shows were coming out after me,

123
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 8: remember it.

124
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 11: Was, but honestly had Predator.

125
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 15: No.

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 8: But honestly, I gotta give it up for Stephen Hill

127
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 8: because he had my back. And then, long story short,

128
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 8: the same dude that was talking out at mess I

129
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 8: ended up running into him at the garden and he's.

130
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: Like, well, you you know, what's all fun and games?

131
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Will you manage me?

132
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: Wow?

133
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 8: I was like, aren't you the same and what happened

134
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 8: was BT to just put a big spend with them,

135
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 8: but they were like they had a commercial to get

136
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 8: me fired off the show radio.

137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: It was crazy, it was But anyway.

138
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: I took care of that for you light work.

139
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 8: No, but there's but to answer the question, to go

140
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 8: back to this question, there's no competition, There's no. I

141
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 8: mean honestly, these two people right here held it down

142
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 8: for a longer time and with a lot of pressure

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 8: on them. So to be able to do that and

144
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 8: to hold it down with style and grace, gotta like

145
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 8: take my head off.

146
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 11: To them, not seamless defferientated and make the transition process.

147
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: We were gone. So yeah, there.

148
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 13: They were already gone and Julisa were super gracious and

149
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 13: mad Links and everybody that was you know around at

150
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 13: that time.

151
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: We're gracious, but it was challenging.

152
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 13: You know, we stepped into these iconic shoes with people

153
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 13: that we grew up watching. So there was a lot

154
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 13: of initial hate.

155
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 10: And we came from.

156
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 12: Nowhere because we were part of a new Face search,

157
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 12: you know, a competition, you know, challenge. So it was

158
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 12: like Ence and I really leaned on each other because

159
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 12: we both knew that nobody understood what we were going

160
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 12: through more than each other because we never had done

161
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,400

313
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,760

318
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 13: like I said earlier, there was just a global connection

319
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 13: that was happening at this time.

320
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:21,720

456
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 9: It's super huge, y'all. It was happening on TV. But

467
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 12: bringing up anything that was like, that's not what I

468
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 12: want to remember from the show because that's not even

469
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 12: worth our time.

470
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 10: Right now.

471
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 12: The show was more about celebration than it was about drama.

472
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 12: So those three one hundred and sixty days or whatever,

473
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 12: because we were a three sixty five show, you know,

474
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 12: it was always there's always things that would happen. But

475
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 12: if there's one thing that I could say about this

476
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 12: man right here, is that he protected me, you know,

477
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 12: at all costs.

478
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 13: Listen, you know where it's such a celebration now, right

479
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 13: and when when you bring up any of those things,

480
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 13: it's all love, it's all love.

481
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 12: There's no hate, and there's like there's no beef now

482
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 12: like never was back then either beef.

483
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 9: When I when I saw the report not well and

484
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 9: looking at it now as a person that's doing this,

485
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 9: and I saw the Webby thing, my first thought was,

486
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 9: whatever happened, it had to be a protection thing on

487
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 9: that on your own whatever part. And the reason why

488
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 9: I brought it up is because I think people don't understand.

489
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 9: Like you said, you were sleeping on the couch and

490
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 9: you got the job you were working already on and boom,

491
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 9: everything happened in real time. You just have to adjust

492
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 9: to being in front of everybody and figuring that out.

493
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 9: It adience in front of a yeah, live audience had

494
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 9: to be tough. So when I'm seeing you know what

495
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 9: I perceived as a protection thing and you kind of

496
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 9: just said that in front of the world, I don't know,

497
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 9: how did you guys mentally? How are you dealing with

498
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 9: that at the time, because all the kids.

499
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 13: Did, look, we'll pivot out, but listen for me, Rocks

500
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 13: like it was, yeah, anything that had to do with Rocks,

501
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 13: he was always protection things. But shout outs to Webby,

502
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 13: it's love, man, this has been you know decades Worreld adults.

503
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 13: We were growing up live on television daily, our level

504
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 13: of emotional intelligence, our.

505
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: Growth as human beings. What we were dealing with.

506
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 13: It was we were literally growing up in front of

507
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 13: everybody's eyes. So obviously we made mistakes. Obviously there's there's

508
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 13: there's growing pains, there's things that we learned. But when

509
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 13: we look back, it was this beautiful journey and time,

510
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 13: this beautiful thing that we got to celebrate together. And

511
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 13: when when Scott Mills and the team said, Hey, we

512
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 13: want to celebrate twenty five years of one O six

513
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 13: and Park this year at the b ET Awards.

514
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 9: And we're going to pivot.

515
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: Money talks.

516
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: Man.

517
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 11: But I do remember when you walked off the stead

518
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 11: you said it was a publicity stun yea, you know,

519
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 11: because I don't want people to.

520
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: Think that was a real thing about me and him.

521
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

522
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 13: Yeah, we were blurring the lines of reality. This is

523
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 13: early reality TV, right, we were blurring the lines. Me

524
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 13: and Roxy were sitting in Steven's office and was like,

525
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 13: why don't we, you know, try this is a scripted

526
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 13: thing we were coming up with. Creative people were talking

527
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 13: about it like it was you know, right, so it

528
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 13: was Yeah, me.

529
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: And her have always been right here.

530
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 12: It was never was never, ever, ever ever between me

531
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 12: and even to this day, like protect him at all costs.

532
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: You know, and we never hooked up.

533
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 13: And the only reason why I bring that up is

534
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 13: because Roxy is such a professional that you're such a professional.

535
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: Let me let me, let me, let me say this.

536
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: Someone said, let me say this before y'all.

537
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 13: Well, you know what with women in it, about the way.

538
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 14: He's handling the interview right now, she's.

539
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 9: No, because that's the moment she wants to understand why

540
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 9: you took it away from a real quick he threw

541
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 9: it and he took it away.

542
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead and finished, Terrence. I know what you're saying.

543
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 13: To be said, you know is the show was special

544
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 13: and we're just so happy that we get to celebrate.

545
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: It twenty.

546
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 10: Twenty five years and people still want to come.

547
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: People still talk about it.

548
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 7: Every day, right, do you know? I'm one of them

549
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 7: who want it back.

550
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 16: But do y'all feel like, honestly it would be a

551
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 16: success in today's digital like I do.

552
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 8: And I bumped back against And it's crazy because the

553
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 8: TV execs have arguments about it all the time. If

554
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 8: a video show would still do well in a world

555
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 8: where there's YouTube, and I honestly believe that it would,

556
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 8: you know.

557
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: But that's just my opinion.

558
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 8: Video A lot of people like people because video free,

559
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 8: but the conversations.

560
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: And before you honestly could get videos then.

561
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 8: No, no, no, but listen, it's above that because back then

562
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 8: artists had to come and talk about their video, they

563
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 8: had to come and talk about their music, and it

564
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 8: was like segments to that, and I think that honestly

565
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 8: improved the music. Like labels were like, we can't, we can't,

566
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 8: we can't put this out because we gotta. They're gonna

567
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 8: end up on the couch talking about this. If you

568
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 8: think about some of the stuff that's out now, could

569
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 8: I have three segments with an artist talking about what

570
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 8: they're saying on that record. I think it improved music.

571
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 8: But I think that's necessary and needed. I don't know

572
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 8: if it's one o six in part, but it's a

573
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 8: show that's needed.

574
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 16: And then also on one of six in part, where

575
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 16: people wasn't even really realizing. We were so excited about it,

576
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 16: and I still would be, but they didn't even play

577
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 16: the whole.

578
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: Music video any.

579
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: Twenty seconds rights it.

580
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 16: Was about the segments that y'all had, the people y'all had,

581
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 16: the energy between y'all, Like how y'all just made it even,

582
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 16: like how y'all would show y'all audience sometimes and I'd

583
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 16: be like, oh my gosh, I used I was cracking.

584
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 7: On people a long time audience like it was so

585
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 7: many things.

586
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 8: We had some time when there was no audience members

587
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 8: like we had sometimes we had a school upstairs Metropolis.

588
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 8: We would literally pulled students down sometimes because we didn't.

589
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Have any audience.

590
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 8: Like this is at the beginning, Like we would do

591
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 8: a show and it'd be nobody in the audience, and

592
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 8: they would do can tape of an audience before and

593
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 8: we would have to have all the energy and we're

594
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 8: talking to nobody.

595
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: So it was there was a lot of things.

596
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 7: That you don't even know.

597
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the stories are crazy.

598
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 11: How did it feel having at least at least for

599
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 11: parents and Rocky? How did it feel having more fame

600
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 11: than probably money, because I'm sure the Fames shot off

601
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 11: faster than having actual bread in your pocket.

602
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know their their financial literacy wasn't a conversation

603
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 13: of discussion. I didn't have a bunch of financial mentors

604
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 13: at that stage of my life. So when you're when

605
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 13: you're famous, right or people recognize you for what you're doing,

606
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 13: because the famous is word I don't love to use.

607
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 13: But you don't have the funds. Now you have imposter

608
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 13: syndrome right now, you're trying to keep up. This is

609
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 13: when the birth of a bottle service in the nightclubs

610
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 13: popped off. So you're you know, you're you're trying to

611
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 13: wear things, you're trying to buy you You're trying to

612
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 13: do these things, but you don't have the means.

613
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 4: To do it.

614
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: It was back then.

615
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, there was a lot that was outside.

616
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: There was.

617
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 10: Going to your spots, no greenhouse.

618
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 13: Yeah, but the money, I mean, you know, it was

619
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 13: a I mean it was a cultural evolution.

620
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 2: So it all, it all came really you know fast.

621
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 3: The dop thing about I would say is not not

622
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: your era. But we were all coming up. I feel

623
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: like New York in the two thousand and two thousand

624
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: and five twenty ten was a bunch of people coming

625
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: up at the same time. So we all ran with

626
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 3: each other, and I just thought that was dope. We

627
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: all looked out for each other, we all cared about

628
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: each other. We all moved in the same circle. So

629
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,880

638
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 11: to be gunning Terrence and Roxy right, and so I

639
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 11: was up there with Wendy.

640
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 7: Being messy, just like your golf father.

641
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 11: Trying to shake my head, and I said, I can't

642
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 11: shake your hand because I know I'd be talking about

643
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 11: you and that would be fake of me. Terrence sat down,

644
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 11: you put his hat on the back because he said,

645
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 11: you know what, yeah, I respect that, but it ain't me.

646
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: Is that really? You want to put you in the

647
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: face with what you're be saying about my co host?

648
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 11: I was like, bouck you up in here, and then

649
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 11: everybody was like, y'all go in the bathroom and talk.

650
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 11: And that's what we did. You went to the bathroom

651
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 11: and talk. But he was protecting Roy. He ain't even

652
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 11: came what I was saying about him.

653
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 15: Crazy will always be off right right before the fight, ya.

654
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 11: Me and Terres never fought in the fight. Now, I

655
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 11: would help Terrence when when you left.

656
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: The room, it ended with a hug.

657
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 13: I have so much respect for Charlemagne then and now

658
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 13: what Charlemagne has done is incredible, And it was it

659
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 13: was respect, and I think that started our friendship. It

660
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 13: was like we had that moment and then we wrapped

661
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 13: it up and it was so much respect after that

662
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 13: and show together.

663
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: Right Terce was he paying it?

664
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: It was me Ball and Angeli the union.

665
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 11: A lot of it was jealousy, though, I'd be honest,

666
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 11: like I remember walking up to Terrence one time at

667
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 11: the mission when I was in Harlement Mission Impossible and

668
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 11: I had just got with Wendy, and I don't know

669
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 11: why I wasn't appreciating my blessing at that time because

670
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 11: I'm windy and I'm like, yo, one day, I'm gonna

671
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 11: take your.

672
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: Job for no reason.

673
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 8: But honestly, that's speaking to no, no, no no, But that

674
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 8: speaks to what I was going through back then. But

675
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 8: I never like, just like you didn't know, I didn't know.

676
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 8: I wasn't in the industry. There were a lot of

677
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 8: people that wanted that television shot.

678
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: So when we got it.

679
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 8: When I said there was a lot of pressure on

680
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 8: anyone who's in those shoes, there were a lot of

681
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 8: people that wanted to be on television field, Like I

682
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 8: did the work.

683
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: I deserve, Yeah, you know, but I hadn't done the work.

684
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: I was just hating.

685
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: But I remember that. I remember that, and I but

686
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: I didn't take it like that. Man.

687
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 13: I when I saw you and looked in your eyes,

688
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 13: I saw that there was a hunger there, and I

689
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 13: saw that there was as an ambition there, and I

690
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 13: just felt like, as black man, it wasn't our job

691
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 13: to tear each other down.

692
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm happy that you're come.

693
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: And get it, motherfucker.

694
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,120

00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 13: It was New York was competitive, and you know when

00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 9: the line, the HBCU connection and things and that, how

704
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 9: did that help back then? Because it's so prep Like

705
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 9: everybody talks about HBCUs and something now, but then when

706
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 9: it wasn't as talked about. How was that connection then,

707
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:45,480
