Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central coming to you from New
Speaker 1: York City, the only city in America. In the Daily
Speaker 1: Show tonight, Kim Jong Whon works on his name, recasting
Speaker 1: l A's mayor man Bobby Brown. This is the Daily
Speaker 1: Show with driver Nowel. Everybody come to the Day Show
Speaker 1: traveling on Bay stop for tuning in. That feels anady
Speaker 1: to take a seat. Take a seat, everybody, let's do this.
Speaker 1: Take a seat, Let's get into it. We've got a
Speaker 1: really fun jam pack show for you today. North Korea
Speaker 1: is acting the fool again. Joe Biden wants to speak
Speaker 1: to the manager, and we're going to explore the worst
Speaker 1: ways to celebrate Juneteenth. Plus, legendary R and B artist
Speaker 1: Bobby Brown is joining us on the show, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna be having a really fascinating conversation about the whirlwind
Speaker 1: life that he has lived. So let's do this people,
Speaker 1: Let's jump straight into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things
Speaker 1: off with North Korea voted Korea of the Year by
Speaker 1: North Korea Magazine for the past three decades. A few
Speaker 1: years ago, most people thought the only way the world
Speaker 1: was gonna end was if North Korea's marshmallow dictator decided
Speaker 1: to kick off a nuclear apocalypse. But since then, we've
Speaker 1: all learned that there are actually many ways the world
Speaker 1: could end. It could be a global pandemic. It could
Speaker 1: be Russia starting a world war. It could be Apple
Speaker 1: letting you edit eye messages. I didn't say that. So
Speaker 1: obviously people haven't been paying as much attention to North
Speaker 1: Korea lately, which is probably why Kim Jong moon has
Speaker 1: decided to remind us that he still exists. We're gonna
Speaker 1: turn to North Korea launching a new round of missile tests,
Speaker 1: the regime firing off eight rockets over the weekend, in
Speaker 1: the US and South Korean launching missiles in response and
Speaker 1: a show of force. The US and South Korea sent
Speaker 1: eight surface to surface missiles into the sea. That's after
Speaker 1: North Korea did the same just hours earlier. There is
Speaker 1: no direct communication that we know of between the Biden
Speaker 1: administration and the North Korean regime, so instead both sides
Speaker 1: seemed to be communicating through missile launches. Huh, the US
Speaker 1: and North Korea are communication using missile launches. That's adorable,
Speaker 1: it really is. It's so different missile missile, you up
Speaker 1: missile missile, but for real, it actually sounds like a
Speaker 1: couple that really needs therapy. You know. It's just like,
Speaker 1: and what do you do when she shuts you out?
Speaker 1: I launched missiles, and what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 1: Talk to you? You know, people say that black people
Speaker 1: and white people can't get along, but I don't know
Speaker 1: what hope there is in the world if North and
Speaker 1: South Korea can't even get along. They're both Korean looking
Speaker 1: at the other one like the Koreans man and you
Speaker 1: know who. I feel really bad for those missiles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the missiles that were shot into the ocean, because think
Speaker 1: about it, they think they have a specific purpose to
Speaker 1: blow up in glorious combat, but then they just end
Speaker 1: up being used for a show. Must hurt their feelings.
Speaker 1: It's like being a condom that gets put on a
Speaker 1: banana for sex. Said class, I was meant for greater things.
Speaker 1: Damn it. No, we're joking, aside, they're joking, aside. I
Speaker 1: want to be serious for a moment here, because let
Speaker 1: me get the straight. North Korea and South Korea and
Speaker 1: the United States are now launching missile after missile into
Speaker 1: the ocean. But I'm not allowed to use plastic straws.
Speaker 1: Is that right? Is that right? I'm out here trying
Speaker 1: to do my part using a show that dissolves the
Speaker 1: second I put it into my drink. The second I
Speaker 1: put it in, it's gone. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: I'm drinking any What are you having trouble? Oh it's
Speaker 1: a queen a paper man shade. Yeah, I saved the turtle,
Speaker 1: the one that got shot by a ballistic missile. What
Speaker 1: does the ocean have to do with our beef? Huh?
Speaker 1: Those creatures are down there just trying to live their lives.
Speaker 1: They don't need to deal with missiles from human conflicts.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what it's like for them? A real
Speaker 1: life is better. Another sea were rolling the waves, the
Speaker 1: fish swim in the seaweed were Oh no, oh no,
Speaker 1: everybody's dead. Everybody's dead. The fish are all dead under
Speaker 1: the sea. A real don't got no legs or a head.
Speaker 1: And the worst part is having my accent makes me
Speaker 1: sound jolly even when I'm not. This is where I
Speaker 1: wish I was from Germany. This accent doesn't commit the
Speaker 1: tragedy of this terrible crime thats happened under these Quite
Speaker 1: enough about those North Korean missile strikes. There are bigger
Speaker 1: threats here at home people that we need to deal with.
Speaker 1: And yes, I'm talking about the danger of trans children
Speaker 1: playing sports, which luckily lawmakers in Ohio are ready to
Speaker 1: take a really hard look at. So as we Enterpride Month,
Speaker 1: the GOP controlled Ohio state legislature passing one of the
Speaker 1: most extreme transports fans we've seen to date. That bill
Speaker 1: including a shocking provision that calls for examining the genitals
Speaker 1: of female athletes who are quote accused of the trans
Speaker 1: The proposed rules would prohibit any trans girl from competing
Speaker 1: with sis gender girls. It also has a verification requirement
Speaker 1: if somebody is accused of being trans. The bill says,
Speaker 1: if someone is suspected to be trans, she must go
Speaker 1: through evaluations of her external and internal genitalia, testosterone levels,
Speaker 1: and genetic makeup. Yeah that's right, America. You asked lawmakers
Speaker 1: to protect your kids from guns, and they said, we
Speaker 1: got you. We're gonna look at your kids genitals. I
Speaker 1: feel like there was a miscommunication there, because which one
Speaker 1: do you think is more traumatizing to your kid? Honest question,
Speaker 1: what do you think is more traumatizing to a child,
Speaker 1: then losing a race in high school, well then winning
Speaker 1: the race and then having to get probed by a
Speaker 1: doctor to see if they genitals are what the right size.
Speaker 1: Because it's bad enough to target trans girls, but you
Speaker 1: understand this law actually targets all girls, right, or at
Speaker 1: least all the girls who are too good at the sport. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know how this is going to turn out.
Speaker 1: I've seen enough American parents beating each other up at
Speaker 1: little league games to know this is gonna be weaponized
Speaker 1: to win a game. It's only a matter of time
Speaker 1: before softball pitcher strikes out three goals in a row
Speaker 1: and then the parents gonna rush the field like genital check.
Speaker 1: No way, she's throwing with two acts, chromosomes, No ways,
Speaker 1: show me that dad. Who are they gonna find to
Speaker 1: do these examinations? Huh, who's even gonna do this? What
Speaker 1: every dude wearing one of those female body inspected T shirts?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be dropped it into service? Now? No,
Speaker 1: it was just a joke. I don't actually have any
Speaker 1: training in this area, so obviously you understand why there's
Speaker 1: backlash to this bill. In fact, some doctors in Ohio
Speaker 1: are saying that they refuse to investigate children's genitals as
Speaker 1: part of this law. Yeah, which it was good, but
Speaker 1: I mean also don't agree with it. You know, if
Speaker 1: they wanted to stand back and do nothing to keep
Speaker 1: our kids safe, then they should have become police officers.
Speaker 1: All right, Finally, too true to real all right. Finally,
Speaker 1: as you may know, a couple of weeks from now,
Speaker 1: America will be celebrating Juneteenth, the holiday commemorating the end
Speaker 1: of slavery, or, as Tucker Colston would put it, the
Speaker 1: day millions of African Americans became unemployed. Is that progress anyway?
Speaker 1: Because Juneteenth is now a federal holiday, more people are
Speaker 1: celebrating than ever before. The only problem is not everyone
Speaker 1: knows the best way to celebrate. Walmart is under fire
Speaker 1: for selling Juneteenth products that some people say are tone
Speaker 1: deaf and insensitive. The products have been landbasted by many
Speaker 1: online after pictures of Juneteenth ice cream and party supply surface.
Speaker 1: The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is apologizing after backlash to
Speaker 1: a Juneteenth inspired food item in its cafeteria. Museum offered
Speaker 1: the Juneteenth watermelon Salad. The museum released a statement saying,
Speaker 1: in part, as a Museum, We apologize and acknowledge to
Speaker 1: the negative impact that stereotypes have on communities of color.
Speaker 1: For this ship pisses me off so much. How are
Speaker 1: you gonna make a June teenth ice cream? I hope
Speaker 1: they took it all off the shelves and they got
Speaker 1: rid of it. In fact, I don't trust them. Hope
Speaker 1: they send it here to the Daily Show and I'll
Speaker 1: I'll deal with it personally. Oh, every single one of
Speaker 1: those eyes and any other ideas they have ice cream,
Speaker 1: they better send them here. It's got a randomness. What
Speaker 1: are you doing? What are you doing? You know, apart
Speaker 1: from the watermelon black people stereotypes. It's amazing to me
Speaker 1: how America does this, Like they turn every meaningful holiday
Speaker 1: into an excuse to spend money. Like that's part of
Speaker 1: the problem here. You don't need to sell things for
Speaker 1: June teen. June tenth wasn't even a mainstream thing last year,
Speaker 1: I think about it. But now already they've turned it
Speaker 1: into a day of merch and and look, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not hating you know we we we do it
Speaker 1: too here on the show. Yeah, I mean, this whole
Speaker 1: segment is brought to you by Tuckle Bell's brand, You
Speaker 1: flaming junetin Cordita's Chaco Bell it not to paint your
Speaker 1: taste bonds. All right, that's it for the headlines. But
Speaker 1: before we go, let's check in on traffic without very
Speaker 1: own royal Julia. Everybody, what's up? What's to see? One? See?
Speaker 1: What you see is let's come in. What's happening in
Speaker 1: the traffic? Coming to these real real quick? Though? Before
Speaker 1: I do the traffic, you got something you want to
Speaker 1: say to me? Uh? Good evening, roy You you have
Speaker 1: nothing to say to me, nothing like like what like
Speaker 1: I was right? You're you're you don't wanna tell me
Speaker 1: I was right? But you do remember what I said
Speaker 1: last week on the show, Yes, on the show. Remember
Speaker 1: last week were talking about Biden and was sending all
Speaker 1: the weapons to Ukraine and Russia and the Russian and
Speaker 1: I said, all we have to do to get Russia
Speaker 1: to slow down was just a couple of missiles in
Speaker 1: the air. And then what North Korea do? What they do?
Speaker 1: They shot the missiles? And then what we do? You
Speaker 1: shot the miss house back? Did North Korea shoot the
Speaker 1: missile back after we shot that missile? Afterday shot their missile? No?
Speaker 1: They did not. I was right. That's what I told you.
Speaker 1: I was right, And you don't remember that. You're not
Speaker 1: look showing the picture, showing the picture. What that's me.
Speaker 1: That's me being right last week. That's me last week
Speaker 1: being right. Right. Yeah, man, A lot of good ideas. Man,
Speaker 1: it seems seems like a good idea. But it's a
Speaker 1: good thing that somebody from the Biden administration is watching
Speaker 1: this show and got that idea from me. And then
Speaker 1: when the shot the missiles back at North Korea, I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's happening. That's the choose supposed to
Speaker 1: good when somebody at that you're supposed to it's like
Speaker 1: boys and the loodas Cube and boys and do we
Speaker 1: got a problem here? We got a problem. But in fact,
Speaker 1: let me talk to bout which one give you money? Camera?
Speaker 1: Did you're Joe Biden? Shoot another missile? What another missile?
Speaker 1: Let him know. I got a lot of ideas, man,
Speaker 1: I got a lot of ideas. She's gonna tell him
Speaker 1: to shoot no no one say hit the country just
Speaker 1: your food like my pass no no, no miss which
Speaker 1: was happening in the traffic you want to traffic? That's
Speaker 1: my bad? What did traffic his thing about that watermelon sealad. Yes,
Speaker 1: First of all, this is part of the problem with
Speaker 1: them trying to get CRT out of schools now needs
Speaker 1: just slapping it on all the food and trying to
Speaker 1: sneak black history on you in the middle of the
Speaker 1: damn day while you trying to eat some salad. And
Speaker 1: that's that's that's just too much man. So you you
Speaker 1: don't want a June Team salad. No what what I
Speaker 1: what I feel dog, is that we tried with June Teeth.
Speaker 1: We tried. We tried to celebrate it collectively as a group.
Speaker 1: Didn't work. You gotta get back to black people. This
Speaker 1: is just ours and we'll just take it and we'll
Speaker 1: just celebrate it by ourselves when nobody else involved. It's
Speaker 1: just certain stuff that just gotta stay black. We just
Speaker 1: gotta keep it black. We tried. We just get certain stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just for us. It just don't make a share.
Speaker 1: We gotta keep June Teeth, gotta keep qualms, we gotta
Speaker 1: keep as its festival will take Bobby Brown and it's
Speaker 1: your certain stuff, it's ours, it's just ours. So the
Speaker 1: holiday would only be for Black Americans. Then, no, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's like it's our holiday. It's a separate but equal
Speaker 1: And see you trying to throw me off. This is
Speaker 1: all I'm saying that I didn't say anything that. All
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that you don't have to put history
Speaker 1: in everything. The salad looked good. That's the thing that
Speaker 1: was so sad about it. Had a little fell of cheese.
Speaker 1: They had to vinegar. Reader that you didn't have to
Speaker 1: put June teenth on it. All you had me at watermelon.
Speaker 1: That's all I have to do. But it's cool. It's cool.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the traffic. You want to do the traffic? Man? Man,
Speaker 1: do we even have time for traffic? I mean, it's traffic. Man.
Speaker 1: If you don't. If you don't, don't, it's messed up.
Speaker 1: If you if you know what that is, then you
Speaker 1: know not to go there. Don't go there. Back to
Speaker 1: you and so much for Junior. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be taking a look at l A's biggest
Speaker 1: costing decision. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Hey Show. The mid term elections are five
Speaker 1: months away, which means you still have five months to
Speaker 1: figure out who your congress person is. But mid term
Speaker 1: primary season is already in full swing, and in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles tomorrow there is a major election that will likely
Speaker 1: decide who the next may is. So let's see what's
Speaker 1: going on in l A in our ongoing coverage of
Speaker 1: Vote Demmick Los Angeles, that's the best place to live
Speaker 1: if you like sunshine, good vibes, and the occasional earthquake.
Speaker 1: I gotta tweet that now as America's second biggest city
Speaker 1: and it's number one producer of disgruntled Lakers supporters. They
Speaker 1: for the last eight years have been led by Eric Garcetti,
Speaker 1: but now he's leaving because you see, being mayor was
Speaker 1: just a side gig he was doing until he finally
Speaker 1: landed an acting role on Grey's Anatomy. It's very exciting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the guy who comes in screaming. Is this the
Speaker 1: hospital gripping performance? Which means it's now time for LA
Speaker 1: to pick a new mayor. And when this race began,
Speaker 1: there was a clear front runner, Congresswoman Karen Bass right.
Speaker 1: She has a decade of experience in Congress and a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago she was nearly picked to be
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's vice president. She was this close to ruining
Speaker 1: her life. Now now, Congresswoman Bass has the full support
Speaker 1: of the party establishment in this race, and that meant
Speaker 1: that she was gonna win. For much of the campaign,
Speaker 1: had a clear lead in the polls, but that was
Speaker 1: all until this happened. Sixty three year old billionaire developer
Speaker 1: and philanthropist Rick Caruso is joining a crowded field of
Speaker 1: candidates who intend to run for Ellie mayor. Cruso is
Speaker 1: well known for his real estate company that built shopping
Speaker 1: areas like The Grove and American Had Brand, one of
Speaker 1: the world's most successful developers. His ground jewel The Grove
Speaker 1: at Farmer's Market, the shopping mecca said to draw more
Speaker 1: people than Disneyland. Caruso used to be a Republican and
Speaker 1: only changed his registration to Democrat one month before announcing
Speaker 1: his run. I really want to reinvent the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: to go back to what it was I think thirty
Speaker 1: years ago. Can I can I ask you an honest question?
Speaker 1: What are so many politicians want to go back in
Speaker 1: time but never forward? Like they would say that I
Speaker 1: want to go back, chase the Democratic Party back thirty years,
Speaker 1: make America great again, bring back the gird old days. People.
Speaker 1: We already tried the post. That's how we had it
Speaker 1: up here. You realize that back full once. I want
Speaker 1: a politician to say, I don't want to go thirty
Speaker 1: years in the past. I want to go thirty years
Speaker 1: into the future when there's no more flooding because global
Speaker 1: warming poiled off all the water. But I'm not surprised
Speaker 1: Rick Caruso wants to go back thirty years though. Remember
Speaker 1: he makes molls thirty years ago was a great time
Speaker 1: form all developers. Yeah, back in the nineties, you remember
Speaker 1: that people spend all day at the mall. You'd spend
Speaker 1: hours their shopping, eating, sitting in the massage chair at
Speaker 1: the shopper image with no intention of ever buying anything.
Speaker 1: But then you would ask a lot of questions to
Speaker 1: make it seem like you might just be like, so
Speaker 1: does does it also do the lower torso? Oh oh yeah?
Speaker 1: And what's the power watching? Okay? Cool? What what time
Speaker 1: do you close? You know I'm gonna go and grab
Speaker 1: I can't carry that. I'll come back. I'm just yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be I want to make sure you get the commission. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yah factor. I have to believe that place we're not
Speaker 1: a business so billionaire. Rick Caruso, a long time Republican
Speaker 1: who turned a Democrat just for this election, is now
Speaker 1: running neck and neck with a liberal politician everyone expected
Speaker 1: to win. And if you're wondering how that could happen
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles as he so liberal you can legally
Speaker 1: marry your electric car, Well, it's because he has a
Speaker 1: ton of money and a very clear message. The most
Speaker 1: expensive race in the country, Rick Caruso spending more than
Speaker 1: any other candidate in any race anywhere. Rick Cruso spent
Speaker 1: nearly forty million dollars, much of it his own money. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Congressman Karen Bass and the other candidates have spent very little.
Speaker 1: He's achieved air supremacy jo on television spots, most of
Speaker 1: them focusing on the top two issues voters care about,
Speaker 1: according to the poll, crime and homelessness, murder of nearly
Speaker 1: shooting victims, a wave of property crime. There's one candidate
Speaker 1: for mayor who can turn it around, Rick Caruso. Caruso
Speaker 1: stands on public safety is resonating, as he has four
Speaker 1: times the support to which has to rise and crime
Speaker 1: over fast. Normally, I would both for Karen Bass but
Speaker 1: I think I'm landing in toward Caruso. Why he thinks
Speaker 1: the biggest issue in l A is getting these people
Speaker 1: off the street, And you think Carrisa will will do that. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Carusoe has surged to the top of the
Speaker 1: pack with a focus on crime and especially homelessness, which
Speaker 1: is a top concern of l A voters. And I guess,
Speaker 1: I mean it makes sense that they think the more
Speaker 1: guy can solve the problem. Malls solve a lot of
Speaker 1: America's problems, problems like how can we get people to
Speaker 1: eat burrows? You know? And just to be clear, Just
Speaker 1: to be clear, Karen Bass also wants to tackle homelessness,
Speaker 1: but Carusoe has made it the centerpiece of his campaign,
Speaker 1: spending a record of nearly forty million dollars getting his
Speaker 1: message out. And we all know if you put a
Speaker 1: lot of ads out there, your message is gonna get
Speaker 1: into people's heads. You can't control it. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like those State Farm ads. See them all the time,
Speaker 1: all the time, all the time, and so it's inevitable
Speaker 1: that sooner or later, I'm gonna start having sex dreams
Speaker 1: about Jake from State Farm. It's gonna happen. Oh you
Speaker 1: judge me like I'm the only one still better than
Speaker 1: my cho dreams. Even after being bombarded by all of
Speaker 1: those ads, some l A voters may still be a
Speaker 1: little wary of a guy who has no political experience
Speaker 1: and might be a closet Republican, which is why Caruso
Speaker 1: has also brought out the one thing people in l
Speaker 1: A trust more than anything else, celebrities. Major celebrity endorsement
Speaker 1: in the race for l A mare oscar winner and
Speaker 1: Goop founder Grant Caltrow throwing her support behind billionaire developer
Speaker 1: Rick Caruso. L A is experiencing a tough time right now,
Speaker 1: so that is why I am endorsing my old friend
Speaker 1: Rick Caruso. Musician and rap artist Snoop Dogg today endorsed
Speaker 1: businessman Rick Caruso. Is no question I endorsed Row and
Speaker 1: Eddie is The Latino vote is going to be especially
Speaker 1: important in this race. George Lopez, the comedian coming out
Speaker 1: on Twitter backing Caruso. Rick carus That did get a
Speaker 1: big endorsement from a very familiar face, a blonde Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 1: They're saying she believes Rick Caruso can help solve l
Speaker 1: A's crime crisis. If you guys are out voting, um,
Speaker 1: Rick Caruso is my choice, and I really believe that
Speaker 1: he will make a difference, and that gives me hope.
Speaker 1: Did she say if you guys are out voting, that's
Speaker 1: that's a fun way to like campaign for someone. Like
Speaker 1: It's almost like she wants to endorse Cruso, but she
Speaker 1: doesn't want to come off too strong. You know. She's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, like, go vote for him, but if
Speaker 1: you guys happen to like pass like a voting booth,
Speaker 1: then I guess feel free to like vote for him
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like, but it's such a weird way to
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, Like, Kim Kardashi is great and a
Speaker 1: lot of things, but I don't know if I ever
Speaker 1: wants her leading me into battle? Can you imagine that
Speaker 1: attitude in Brave Heart Songs of Scotland. If you guys
Speaker 1: are gonna be like fighting any wars today, personally I
Speaker 1: would fight against the English because like, maybe they might
Speaker 1: take our lives, but maybe we shouldn't like take our
Speaker 1: freedom too. So, thanks to Carusoe's huge spending advantage, his
Speaker 1: celebrity endorsements and his focus on quality of life issues
Speaker 1: for people who aren't homeless. This election looks like it's
Speaker 1: going down to the wire. Now it is a primary, yes,
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. In California, if anyone wins of
Speaker 1: the vote in the primary, the race is automatically over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that person is the new mayor. So every vote is
Speaker 1: going to count, which, if you listen to l A voters,
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily a good thing. Despite several high profile debates
Speaker 1: and one candidate running lots of ants, I'm running for
Speaker 1: people we interviewed in l A County struggled to name
Speaker 1: a single candidate. Are you familiar with the candidates for mayor?
Speaker 1: I am not. Unfortunately candidates I'm not sure, but I
Speaker 1: prefer the one that we have now. Oh the governor?
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, Yeah, I don't know anything about the mayor?
Speaker 1: Then not only Gavin? Probably right, Gavin is the governor mayor? Not? See,
Speaker 1: I'm way off. Do you like the current mayor, Gavin Newson?
Speaker 1: Or see you guys? Sorry, damn forget knowing who's running
Speaker 1: for may A lot of people in Los Angeles don't
Speaker 1: even seem to know that there is a mayor. Like
Speaker 1: I thought forty million and ads sounded like a lot before,
Speaker 1: but now I'm thinking it's not enough, like and and
Speaker 1: forget just TV ads. I feel like Caruso should probably
Speaker 1: be doing most of his advertising on ruling papers. Judging
Speaker 1: by those people, it's just like Caruso for Oh oh Boy.
Speaker 1: So that right there is the current state of the
Speaker 1: raceful mayor in Los Angeles, a lifelong politician going up
Speaker 1: against a lifelong businessman. And I'm not going to tell
Speaker 1: you who's vote for, but at the very released, if
Speaker 1: you guys are going to vote, I would say, definitely
Speaker 1: make sure that you're voting for the mayor and not
Speaker 1: the governor who already has a job. All right, stay tuned.
Speaker 1: After the break, we're gonna be joined by Bobby Brown.
Speaker 1: You don't wannamits it? Welcome back to the Day to Show.
Speaker 1: My guest tonight as R and b Legend, Bobby Brown.
Speaker 1: He's here to talk about his eventual life and Korea,
Speaker 1: as well as the new show Bobby Brown Every little step.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Bobby Brown. How you missed the Bobby Brown,
Speaker 1: the man, the myth, the legend. There are a few
Speaker 1: people who have had more of an impact on society
Speaker 1: and just like culture as a whole as you have.
Speaker 1: You know, I was, I was listening to your discography
Speaker 1: just before coming. I was, I was like, this is wild.
Speaker 1: You just you just made the music of lifetimes. Does
Speaker 1: that ever sinking for you something when you just realize,
Speaker 1: like you how many children were made to your music
Speaker 1: now as you say it that way, yeah, kind of
Speaker 1: kind of mind right right, it's it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: your your your biography just came out, the documentary about
Speaker 1: your life. And one thing, one thing that really struck
Speaker 1: me about this story, and you've been really candid over
Speaker 1: the past few years, you know, you wrote your memoir,
Speaker 1: you've released this biography, You've got the story about your family.
Speaker 1: Now is how little we knew about you and how
Speaker 1: much we knew about the little that we knew. You know,
Speaker 1: we we know Bobby Brown in one dimension, the bad boy.
Speaker 1: You know, we know about all the terrible things that
Speaker 1: happened in life. But it feels like sometimes the context
Speaker 1: wasn't wasn't there, you know, it wasn't. It wasn't Bobby
Speaker 1: Brown made a mistake. It was Bobby Brown just a
Speaker 1: bad person. Do you do you feel like now there's
Speaker 1: more of a vindication happening in your life? Well, yes, Um,
Speaker 1: I got a chance to explain myself, to speak about myself. Um.
Speaker 1: That's what the you know documentary was about. It was
Speaker 1: about me getting um a chance to speak, you know,
Speaker 1: um clearly and truthfully about everything in my life. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did it. You've you've had an eventful
Speaker 1: life as well. Oh you know, we've we've lived some
Speaker 1: of it with you from the outside, you know, with
Speaker 1: with misinformed opinions. What would you say is one of
Speaker 1: the biggest misconceptions about you as Bobby Brown the man
Speaker 1: that you wish people knew about you as a person. Uh,
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm just a softie. I'm really not. I'm
Speaker 1: really not a bad boy. Um on stage now, on stage,
Speaker 1: I'm a boy. On stage, I'm a bad boy, But
Speaker 1: off stage, I'm really quiet. You you you back on
Speaker 1: Congratulations it was thirty colas sold out as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that must have been quite a journey for you,
Speaker 1: because I mean when you started out, how old were you,
Speaker 1: guys for your first fourteen years old forty years ago?
Speaker 1: That is wild? That is really what you want is
Speaker 1: there like a change now when you're performing, can you
Speaker 1: feel it? Uh? Now it's a job. It's a job.
Speaker 1: It's a job now. Before it was just you know, fun,
Speaker 1: it's just you know, we just love being on stage.
Speaker 1: But now it's work. You know, you gotta have a
Speaker 1: lot of ben gay after the show, a lot of
Speaker 1: icy hot you know what I what I love about
Speaker 1: the What I love about the tour is the story.
Speaker 1: Um and what I mean by the story, it's it's
Speaker 1: the fullness of your story. You know, Bobby Brown is
Speaker 1: somebody who's given people a lot of joy and then
Speaker 1: has also experienced a lot of grief and sadness. You know,
Speaker 1: you've never claimed to be a saint. You know, you've
Speaker 1: gone you've gone through your moments where you have to
Speaker 1: be accountable for your actions. But one thing I feel
Speaker 1: that's different now in the world is how people deal
Speaker 1: with addiction. And you've really been open about your journey
Speaker 1: to you know, to staying sober. You you've talked about
Speaker 1: how hard it is, You've talked about how much you
Speaker 1: work at it. Why did you open up and do
Speaker 1: you feel that people accept your story or see you
Speaker 1: slightly different? You know, well, it's an everyday, everyday job,
Speaker 1: you know, it's an everyday situation. Um. I work hard
Speaker 1: at every day not picking up a drink, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: that's something that I've been working on for years, you know,
Speaker 1: and just recently finding the love of my life, my
Speaker 1: wife and having all these new kids. Um, it's just
Speaker 1: something that I feel. Um, it's something that I have
Speaker 1: to do, you know, for myself and for my family,
Speaker 1: you know, And it makes me feel good. You know,
Speaker 1: we see that, we see that on the show. You
Speaker 1: you you have a a joy that can only come
Speaker 1: from a certain place. You have a newfound love in
Speaker 1: your life. How did you deal with a lot of
Speaker 1: the grief that you experienced? You know, you were somebody
Speaker 1: who lost uh, you know, an ex wife who you loved,
Speaker 1: who the world loved. You know, You're somebody who suffered
Speaker 1: the loss of two children. I think something no parent
Speaker 1: ever wants to go through, No can imagine going right right,
Speaker 1: And and you have had to learn how to find
Speaker 1: life on the other side of grief. How did you
Speaker 1: do that? And how do you continuously try to do that?
Speaker 1: Lots of prayer, lots of therapy. Um, I'm in therapy,
Speaker 1: you know. At least twice a week. Um, and praying, praying,
Speaker 1: and the love of my family, the love of my
Speaker 1: wife and my kids. Um, they that just doesn't for me.
Speaker 1: It really feels like it's made a difference. You know,
Speaker 1: seeing you in the biography, you know, we see you
Speaker 1: with with with your old group. You know, you see
Speaker 1: new addition back together. I even love the moments where
Speaker 1: some you know, there there's one part where I think
Speaker 1: it's Devote says to you. He goes, He's like, may
Speaker 1: I remember how what an asshole you were on this
Speaker 1: two doing you guys, and you guys laugh about it,
Speaker 1: you ship and it feels like you've all grown, you've
Speaker 1: all matured. I mean, I know you you both share
Speaker 1: a bond in becoming sober. But if you could go back,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously life has happened the way it's happened,
Speaker 1: But if there's one small thing at the beginning of
Speaker 1: your curia that you could have said to Bobby Brown,
Speaker 1: hey watch out for this, what would it have been. Um,
Speaker 1: I would just tell myself to take my time because
Speaker 1: I grew up way too fast. Um, being fourteen and
Speaker 1: being on the road, being away from your family, you
Speaker 1: get into things, especially as a child. You know, Um,
Speaker 1: I got into way too many things too quickly in life.
Speaker 1: And I'm just you know, I'm I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: mad about it, because I wouldn't be the man that
Speaker 1: I am today without experiencing all of the things that
Speaker 1: I've experienced. But I'm just grateful today, you know. And
Speaker 1: that's the plus. It is a plus. It's because to
Speaker 1: have you here. The plus. You know, yes, it's good
Speaker 1: to see you. It's because to see you living and
Speaker 1: enjoying your family. So what what's what's your hope for
Speaker 1: the future? Then? You know, Bobby Brown, I feel like
Speaker 1: we've seen have maybe two to three different you know,
Speaker 1: phases of your life, which everyone has in different ways.
