55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,920

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: learn how to skateboard to teach your son, I guaranteed

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: I thought about then. You know, I was playing catch

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: with Logan yesterday football. So I just had a good

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: day with the kids yesterday. I just I love what

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: it's nice out so we can go outside and enjoy

62
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: the weather. Basically, he's saying he tired. I'm tired, and

63
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: they never want to stop. Last started to going tim

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: on minutes, Dad, all right, let's tim on minute, hey man.

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: That's why sometimes I envy people who had kids in

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: their twenties, you know what I mean, because when they forty,

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: their kids grown. You know what I mean, it was

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: young and vibrant. They had the energy to do all

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Now showed the hurt for no reason.

70
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: Me hurt for no reason. It's like, damn, all I

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: do was racing. All I say was get on the

72
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: air track and do a car. Well, it happened. They

73
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: get on the trampoline. Let's do it. Oh lord, Daddy,

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: don't flip. Daddy takes naps on the trampoline. I'm not

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: even lie I take naps on the trampoline. When my

Speaker 1: two youngest asked me to get on the trampoline and

77
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: my five year and two year olds, I get on there,

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: I do one jump and then I just lay and

101
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: The Sixes blew the last two games. By the way,

102
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: that's got to be tough when you meek mill and

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: you fly you and Quabo fly out on the PJA

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: and you know Quabo's in Philly and you're probably clowning

105
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: them the whole first half, the third quarter, in the

106
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: four quarter they come back and win. Whoa yeah, because

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: that turned it off. In the third quarter they were

108
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: down by like I turned Loki on. I turned Loki

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: on because I was like, man, this game is lope. Wow.

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: what else we got you, Well, let's talk about Phoenix

113
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: Suns guard Chris Paul. He's been sidelined and that's because

114
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: he's on the league's COVID nineteen Health and Safety Protocols

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: the list, and they did announce that yesterday. They said

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: there's a natural concern, and that's basically where it ends.

117
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: The league is trying to do everything they can to

118
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: keep individuals and teams safe, and it's such a natural

119
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: concern for an individual. Now, Jalen Rose has said that

120
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Chris Paul is vaccinated, and he doesn't anticipate him missing

121
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: more than one game. Unlike Kawa, this one isn't dooming

122
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: gloom for me because they're off this week. He's already

123
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: been vaccinated and I know the word and definitely makes

124
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: you feel like he may not be in the next series.

125
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate him missing more than one game at

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: the most, just based on the dynamics of time and

127
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: how the polar call has worked. I don't see why

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: he gotta miss any I mean, they said he's back,

129
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: they said he's vaccinated. Give it to other people of

130
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: the Yeah, but the series don't start to like the

131
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: twentieth might not have to, but doesn't anticipate him missing

132
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: more than one at the most. Yeah, and how many

133
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: days you have to sit down? Usually they say quarantine

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: for five days, right, I thought it was Yeah, it's

135
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: three five, it's five. It's five days. They don't play

136
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: till the twentieth, so he should be able to play

137
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: and the twenty third if it goes seven games. But yeah,

138
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: he should be able to play now. When he referenced

139
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard, Kawhi Leonard did miss a game and they

140
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: said he could be out the remainder of the series

141
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: and that's because of a right knee injury. Oh no,

142
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: they say, they say Kawhi has done done because they

143
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: said he got um he gotta have surgery. But you

144
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: know what Lebron said, yes today that you know this,

145
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: that this is the reason why he said he didn't

146
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: want to play. He says, the bodies are the players

147
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to heal and didn't get a

148
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: chance to recuperate. So now this that's why a lot

149
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: of these people are being so injured. He's like, this

150
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: is the most injuries from a superstars in the league

151
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: in a long time, because he was like, the bodies

152
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: just happening healed. I wonder how Lebron would feel if

153
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: his team was still in the playoffs though remember Lebron

154
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: was the one that didn't want to come back. Yeah,

155
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: but I wonder how he would feel if his team

156
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: was still in the playoffs, because he would hate if

157
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: somebody used that excuse and somebody said, well, the only

158
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: reason the Lakers are winning because all the other stars

159
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: are injured. No, he didn't say that. He just said

160
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: that a lot of the celebrities and the stars are injured.

161
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: That's the game though, I mean, and I agree with him, like,

162
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, they did. They did come back from a

163
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: shortened season, so I'm sure that is, you know, one

164
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: of the main factors for people having a lot of injuries.

165
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: But sometimes that's just a game. That's just the way things.

166
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Though they also played a shortened season though we just

167
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: said that, That's what I'm saying, So I don't understand

168
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: the argument. What do you mean they had like a

169
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: how long were they out for? Like a month at least?

170
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Right with the COVID protocol, Right, it was a short season,

171
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: and they sayed more games more times. Remember they were

172
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: in the so they were playing every other No Lebron

173
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: saying they didn't have the same amount of rest hime

174
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: R that they would have between seasons, but they didn't

175
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: play as long, all right. And Congress has passed legislation

176
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: to make Juneteenth a federal holiday for the first time

177
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: in nearly forty years. Congress has moved to establish a

178
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: new national holiday just in time for the anniversary. That's

179
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: the one hundred and fifty sixth anniversary of that day,

180
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: which marks the last African American slaves being freed. In

181
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: Texas after the Civil War. All right, So which is

182
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: waiting for Joe Biden to sign that he's supposed to

183
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: sign it today? I mean, you know what, man, I mean,

184
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: that's that's cool. I know people was pushing for that,

185
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: but man, it is so much other legislation that black

186
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: people need, Like they always do, these these symbolic gestures

187
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: as opposed to making real tangible change, like what's up

188
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: with the George Floyd Policing Act? You know what I'm saying,

189
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 1: What's up with voter rights bills? Okay, they're trying to

190
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: take y'all. They're literally taking away black people's right to vote,

191
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: like literally, they're making it like super difficult for to

192
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: even go out there in Captain vote. Where is the

193
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: voting right? The John Lewis voting rights? That like something

194
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: some things that can actually impact us in a real way. Well,

195
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: clearly it doesn't start with just I mean doesn't stop

196
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: with Juneteenth. But this is something celebrate, all right, Maybe

197
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: it does stop with June. Team with these people, shout

198
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: to all the black promoters. They are definitely making Juneteenth

199
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: a weekend really immediately, Hell yeah, Juneteenth parties like crazy.

200
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,480

00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: And you didn't grow up down south like I used to.

231
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: I've been to so many different training shows growing up

232
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: because Trina was like always an artist that would come

233
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: down to perform in South Carolina. Like, I know women

234
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: that worship Trina. They loved Trainer's music. So I knew

235
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: Trina had joints. I just didn't think that they were.

236
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: They were resonating nationally. So I'm from Virginia. You're telling

Speaker 1: he was in London. Trainer was in Miami. But they

243
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: had like during the fift thousand people watching them. Yeah,

244
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: and they were looking amazing too. On top of all that.

250
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,480

251
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: to learn. Yeah, that's not true. I mean that's not true.

252
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: When you see when I wouldn't say that. I don't

Speaker 1: other love, looking amazing, and a lot of people forgot

420
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: about all the hits that they had and that they

421
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: were on all right. Now, Michael Jordan caught a dolphin

422
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: earlier and he's doing some three point four million dollar

423
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: fishing tournament in North Carolina. They're competing for that top

424
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: event prize, and they said so far he caught a

425
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: twenty five pound fish to land on the dolphin category

426
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: leaderboard early in the contest. This isn't the first time

427
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: he's done this event. Apparently it's a very well known event.

428
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: Last year they got a four hundred and forty two

429
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: pound blue marlin, the fourth the biggest catch of the day.

430
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Have y'all ever went fishing? Yeah, yeah, I'm going fishing,

431
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: not like like them, though, they're doing some serious fishing.

432
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: He caught a dolphin, what you say, Yeah, he did

433
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: um And actually, according to a representative, they had to um.

434
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: They had to throw the dolphin back in because the

435
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: wrong speechies and they released it back into the water.

436
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins are so cute and so intelligent. That's like kidnapping

437
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: a kid. I don't think he tried to do it

438
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: on purpose. They just put the bait out there, you

439
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, as soon as you see

440
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: as a dolphin, you got to make sure that hook

441
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: gets out of that Dolph got to bring that on

442
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: the boat. Absolutely, and it's big money in fishing. I

443
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Even in Mexico they do huge fishing

444
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: events and people walk away with like millions of dollars.

445
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: Just crazy. You're a real psychopath. You out here hunting dolphins, bro,

446
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: you can't do it all. But listen. I was in

447
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: texting Cake Goos and we went on a fishing boat

448
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't think I enjoyed it so much.

449
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: I felt bad while they were catching the fish and

450
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of blood everywhere. I was like, I

451
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: don't know if I went right back upstairs. I was like,

452
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't eat sea food? Right? No?

475
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: Hawk speaks to Philadelphia. Seventy six is one or nine

476
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: one oh six. I turned the game off when I

477
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: swear Philadelphia was up like twenty points. Yeah, that's why

478
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: I turned on Loki on is Me Plus. But the

479
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: Hawks did come back to way. They took Joel and

480
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: beat out in the third quarter. I think there was

481
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: like two minutes left. The crown was going crazy. I

482
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is over. I wondered didn't meet

483
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: h you know, in quable ride back together. I know

484
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: they rolled to the game together, but I'm sure Miko

485
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 1: was talking so crazy. I'm sure stree quarters and then

486
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: the Hawks come back and win the fourth quarter. I

487
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: don't want to hear that on the way back. That's

488
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: your own jack h. What else we got you? Well,

489
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: Congress is designating post massacre site as a national memorial.

490
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: As you guys recall, this was in Orlando, Florida, five

491
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: years ago. A gum and killed forty nine people and

492
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: wounded fifty three people there. The Senate voted final congressional

493
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: approval of the bill last week and Joe Biden is

494
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: expected to sign it soon. And that was the deadliest

495
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: deadliest attack on the LGBTQ community in American history. So

496
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: they're making that a national memorial. So it's not open anymore.

497
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: You can just I know, you can go outside and

498
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: they have things that you can sign, but it's not

499
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: you can't go inside and nothing like that anymore. Right closed, Yeah,

500
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: that site right there is just a memorial site. Gotcha?

501
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: They said, it's really important for survivors to know we

502
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: are not going away until the job is done. According

503
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: to Nancy Pelosi, all right, now, let's talk about Joe

504
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: Biden and Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, And they actually

505
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: had a little less than four hour meeting, and Joe

506
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: Biden said in a news conference after the meeting the

507
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: tone was good, and he acknowledged that it will take

508
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: time to know whether there will be any significant progress.

509
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: He wasn't confident that he had done anything to change

510
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: Putin's behavior, but he did discuss some of the issues

511
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: with cyber capabilities and the violations from Russia. Whether I

512
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: stopped it from happening it again, he knows, I will

513
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: take action like we did when this last time out.

514
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: What happened was we in fact made it clear that

515
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: we were not going to continue to allow us to

516
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: go on. The end result was we ended up with

517
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: drawing and they went drawing ambassadors, We closed down some

518
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: of their facilities in the United State, Age, etc. He

519
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: knows their consequences. The hypocrisy of the media is hilarious.

520
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: When Biden met with Putin, is it's all good in

521
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: the media. When Trump met with Putin. He got dragged.

522
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: What's the difference. I think this was a this was

523
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: a summit, and so you do still have to meet

524
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: with leaders, but you can't be trying to like cut

525
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: deals and secretly have meetings and set things up. Who

526
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, you got to do. Everything you do is Trump,

527
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: Putin Trump, and Putin was out in the open. He

528
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: got dragged. They said that people were upset that Trump

529
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: didn't confront Putin about Russ's an interference in the election.

530
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: It's just interesting. It's just interesting how one, you know,

531
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: causes an uproar, but the other is just like, oh,

532
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: it's okay. They had a meeting, like well. I think

533
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: there were also a lot of issues with Trump's relationship

534
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: with hut behind the scenes that people didn't know about,

535
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: in certain financial deals that had been made that were

536
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: that they were discussing, and other people that were having

537
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: conversations on the side that weren't out in the open.

538
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see the difference. Okay. And then

539
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: here is what Putin had to say about their meeting.

540
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: I think there were facilities quite the contrary, Army meeting

541
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: took place. Principally speaking, we don't share the same positions

542
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: in many areas. But I think that both of these

543
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: sides showed a willingness to understand one another. It feels

544
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: like nothing really happened, all right, And a heat wave

545
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: has been gripping the West in the United States, and

546
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: people are saying that they're scared this is going to

547
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: be a new hotter normal. In Phoenix, they've had a

548
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: record for the second day in a row when it

549
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: reached one hundred and fifteen degrees yesterday. It's expected to

550
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: hit one hundred and seventeen degrees for the next two days.

551
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: And scientists who studied drought and climate change see that

552
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: people living in the American and West can expect to

553
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: see more of the same in the coming years. Heat

554
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: waves are getting worse because the soil is so dry

555
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: from the region's mega drought, and we could have two, three, four,

556
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: or five of these heat waves before the end of

557
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: the summer. All right. Well, they are asking in California

558
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: to voluntarily conserve pour. They're asking their residence to do

559
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: that for a few hours Thursday evening because they are

560
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: anticipating record breaking heat blankets during the West during this week.

561
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: You can't ask me to conserve power. When it's hot

562
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: as hell, I gotta have the AC. What are we

563
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: talking about? Yeah, I guess they want to make sure

564
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: everyone's power doesn't go out and then no one has

565
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: a c Well, better, get you a good church fan,

566

Speaker 1: bring back the church fan. I told y'all. Last year

567
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: I ordered me with the last year, maybe it was

568
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: the earlier. This year, I ordered me a bunch of

569
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: church fans. Get you a good church fan, man, get

00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: have no details. They use a private company. There's a

578
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: lot of controversy over the company that they're using. That said,

579
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: they said, I think over three hundred thousand people without power.

580
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: So you got how are you gonna let the Dominican

00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: to see. I've been a fan fan of the show

606
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: for a long time, but I've been a fan of

607
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: this guy even longer. You know what. I'm for a

608
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: long time away. So tell us well, first of all, Craig,

609
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: if you don't know, of course, he's a news anchor

610
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: for NBC News Today. Now tell him where you started, though, Craig,

611
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: the South, Hey eight O three? What's happening? Wyst? And

612
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: you were at that point? You were at Hot Hot

613
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: one on three point nine the jam? Yeah, I was

614
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: at at the Big Dam. Didn't Hot one with three

615
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: point nine. It wasn't the jam, Craig. It was Hot

616
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: one of three point nine, that's all. What was the

617
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: jam is ninety three jams. And Charleston's right, that's why

618
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: I started tell us some stories about Charlemagne that we

619
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: might not know. Since you guys go down. You don't

620
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: want to do that. No, I don't want to do it.

621
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: That short destruction. Not doing that, I will say. I

622
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 1: will say, um, if you told either one of us

623
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty years ago, that this is where we would be.

624
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: I would have laughed. I can't speak for I don't know.

625
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: I think people kind of knew it because I remember

626
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: we got We were in the South Carolina state newspaper

627
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand three or four and they named me

628
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: and you two of the top ten. I think it

629
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: was media Personalities under the age of thirty in Columbia Cycline,

630
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: and they did these profiles and I was actually still

631
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: have my frame and I did I did the Ten

632
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: Commandments of Hip Hop and Craig told a story, but

633
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: I just remember him laying on the grass with a

634
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: puppy look in his face. Story comes out just saying

635
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: it was a story. Had a dog back then in trouble.

636
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: They wanted to take a picture of me and my dog,

637
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: and a picture that they happened to snap at the

638
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: time was But the dog didn't usually lick my face,

639
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: didn't sleep in the band kiss. I'm not a dog kisser.

640
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: I've never kissed. That dog was definitely kissing you. The

641
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: dog may have he may have licked me once and again.

642
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: The photographer just timed it perfectly. But I haven't heard

643
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: the end of it. I have that framed. I should

644
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: have bought it. I'm glad you didn't. I'm glad this

645
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: before social media. Right, Yeah, So we were get out.

646
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: He would get off the air, I would get off

647
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: the eleven o'clock news, and we would hit the club.

648
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: And when you go with him to the strip clubs,

649
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: I've never been we've been to this, I've never. I

650
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: have never. Never. We would go to regular clubs, regular

651
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: night clubs. Thing like that life he led back then,

652
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,719
Speaker 1: that would serve him well now like he gives him

653
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: street crack. That life I led back then. I don't

654
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: need that. I don't need that life. I would this.

655
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: I was with my girl, done that since high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

656
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: that's a fact. That's we used to go to V twelve.

657
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: V twelve used to be off spoties to be V

658
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: twelve in the Vista. Goodness be twelve in the Vista.

659
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: But Craig. One thing I can say about Craig. Craig

660
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: was always focused, you know what I mean? He was

661
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: always mature. Why did you hang out with him? Then?

662
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: I need a street crack. But he had a lot

663
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: more fun than I was. Happing, Like, wherever he was,

664
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: that's where the party was. Yes, I do remember one

665
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: time we was in the VP. Craig is sitting there.

666
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: Craig goes, Oh my god, that man wanna I gotta

667
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: get out of here. Probably that's probably right now, Probably true,

668
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: that is true. We used to have a good time. Well,

669
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: let's sen you know Craig is here, um, because he

670
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: has a new book out that came out Tuesday. It's

671
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: called Pops Pops Learning to Be a Son and Father.

672
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: And the reason I loved this book for a number

673
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: of reasons. I mean, number one, because I know you

674
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: and I just love to hear, you know, backstories of

675
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: people from South Carolina, because you know, we don't we

676
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of representation, right. But you address

677
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: a relationship that will always be complicated, probably the most

678
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: complicated relationship a man can have, and that's the relationship

679
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: we have with our father. Yes, what made you address

680
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: that topic? Well, a couple of things you know and

681
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: I write about in the book. But two years ago,

682
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: my dad, after you know, forty plus years of heavy

683
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: drinking and gambling addiction and um, he finally decided he

684
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: was going to get some help. He was sixty seven

685
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: years old at the time. And of the things of

686
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: which I'm proud in my life, and there are a lot.

687
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: It's it's top of the list, like my dad deciding

688
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: late in life that he wanted to live better. It's

689
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: it is. It was the most cathartic thing I've ever done. Wow. Um,

690
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: I wanted to give my father his roses while he's

691
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: still alive. So it's a love letter to my dad.

692
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: It's a love letter to fatherhood. It's a story of

693
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: resilience and overcoming addiction. Uh, it's a story of forgiveness

694
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: as well. You know, my dad, even after he got clean,

695
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: we would talk like this and you know, rarely a

696
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: conversation would pass where he didn't talk about the guilt

697
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: that he felt, and he would cry and just talk

698
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: about how how bad he felt about being absent. And

699
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: even when he was present, he was you know, drunk,

700
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: hungover or sleeping. Um. But I wanted him to know

701
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: that we've all forgiven him and and so it's that

702
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: was that was part of it. Did you forgive him

703
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: easier when you had kids? Because we talk about this

704
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: all time, like you're mad at your dad for things

705
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: you don't understand until you start having your own kids.

706
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: Right leaving to my kids, now like, you know, me

707
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: and my kids go to him. I'm sure my kids

708
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: say they hate me at times because you're overprotective, right,

709
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: And my dad, being a retired police office, was over protective.

710
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: But now I'm on like that with my kids, and

711
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: I understand completely why my dad wouldn't let me go

712
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: to certain things and take certain you know, trains, or

713
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: go to this party. So did you feel that when

714
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: you started to have kids and be like, I need

715
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: to patch this up now precisely precisely, you know, here's

716
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: we're hard in our parents. Yeah, but we're hard because

717
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, when you're ten, fifteen, twenty, you don't you

718
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: don't know you had you haven't experienced the world. You

719
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: don't really have perspective. You just know you want to

720
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: go out to this party or you want to go

721
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: see this girl, and you know you want to you

722
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: want to be what teenagers want to be. And it's

723
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: it's not until you get older and you have children

724
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: and you realize that your primary responsibilities to protect them

725
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: from the world. And I but I was hard on

726
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: my dad for for a different reason because back then,

727
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 1: know the way we view lots of things now, whether

728
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: it's mental health, but with regards to addiction, back then,

729
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: we didn't view addiction as a sickness. You thought he

730
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: was being selfish. Yeah, he can't about than us, right,

731
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to get the monkey off your back,

732
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: you could. But now knowing what we know, having covered

733
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: so many stories related to addiction, you know, five teen

734
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: years ago, I started to look at it like like

735
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: we look at it now, like a disease and illness.

736
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: So I was hard on my dad for that reason.

737
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: So I was angry and resentful, and you know, it

738
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: just got to a point where I was, you know,

739
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: my firm believer in therapy as well, and my therapist

740
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago finally after well, I mean

741
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: had been suggesting it for a number of years, but

742
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: suggested that I made peace with it and forgive my father,

743
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: not for my father, but but for me um. And

744
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: so all of that led to this, I too, learned

745
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: to forgive my father in therapy because I realized that

746
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: my father was just doing the best he could, and

747
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: he was working with the tools that he had at

748
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: the time. Yes, you know, when you're dealing with substance

749
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: abusing his own mental health issues, he really did a

750
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: lot for somebody with a lot of those problems, you know.

751
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: And to that point, Charlomagne, my dad and I didn't

752
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: know this until I was writing the book, And the

753
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: first line of the book is my dad was born

754
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: in a federal prison in West Virginia. He didn't even

755
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: know who his dad was until he was almost a teenager.

756
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: So imagine, imagine growing up not knowing who your your

757
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: your dad is, having other kids pick at you. They

758
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: would call him a jail baby and all this stuff,

759
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: and having other kids pick at you. It shapes and

760
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: molds you in ways that you don't fully appreciate until

761
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're much older. So he so he

762
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: grew up that way. And when he found out who

763
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: his dad was, it's not like his dad took an

764
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: active interest. I asked him, and it's in the book.

765
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: I asked him. During the interview with Montenna, said, what's

766
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: the what's the most money you ever wasted without missing

767
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: and beating? My dad said twenty five dollars dollars on

768
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: what he's like, that's how much it cost to put

769
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: my daddy in the ground nineteen eighty six. Yeah, that

770
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: was my reaction. And he proceeded to explain how his

771
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: father was a dead beat, like a come back me.

772
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: And so my dad did exponentially better than his fathers.

773
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: And I would say, we're probably doing a little bit

774
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: better than I dad. That's what it is about the

775
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: right well back then, especially like black fathers in the South.

776
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: And man, my dad worked third shift at the post

777
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: office because you make a little little extra money, weekends, holidays,

778
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: no vacations to provide to get us to the middle class, right,

779
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: And I didn't appreciate it and respect it until all

780
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're forced to provide for children. All Right,

781
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: we have more with Craig Melvin. You probably heard him

782
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: with MSNBC, so don't move. It's to breakfast Club, Good

783
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and ye Charlemagne, the

784
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it

785
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: with Craig Melvin. Charlemagne. You know, you know in the

786
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: book you talk about how you know your father had

787
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: a gambling addiction as well as well as liquor. I

788
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: mean that it's really like mirrors my father, you know.

789
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: But it took a lot of oldgs. Those two things

790
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: took a lot of oldgs in South Carolina down down

791
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: a bad path. Do you think they got caught up

792
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: because it was nothing else to do, right, and especially

793
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: video poker. People don't a lot of folks outside of

794
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: South Carolina don't realize the scourge the video poker was

795
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: back in the eighties and nineties in South Carolina. I

796
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: mean it was a two billion dollars industry and you

797
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: go in and you press some buttons and you're playing

798
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: like poker with a computer. And my dad would go

799
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: in on a Friday and he like, not an exaggeration,

800
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: he blows whole paycheck. I'm playing like video poker for

801
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: six hours. You know, tall boy in one hand, video poker,

802
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: but tall boy, you know the tall boy. And it's

803
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: like what a how many ounces of two? Yeah? Ye

804
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:06,479
Speaker 1: still nix selling the pup brown pap paper back man. Yeah,

805
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: well anyway possible. He would have a couple of tall

806
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: boys and so but no, he and his friends, to

807
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: your point, like that was it wasn't typically just one addiction.

808
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: It was it was booze and gambling, or booze and women,

809
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: or booze and and and my dad you know, but

810
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: to his credit, gave up gambling, gave up drinking. In November,

811
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: he was in the hospital for five days. We thought

812
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: it was COVID. Thankfully it wasn't. He had um bacterial pneumonia.

813
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: Doctor comes and miss melting Um. How much do you smoke?

814
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: That's what he means in a given day? So I'm

815
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: probably down to a packet day. He'd been packet day

816
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: smoker for forty years. Doc says, well, smell here, gonna

817
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: have to have to stop smoking. He said, okay, all right,

818
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: hadn't had a cigarette sense, Wow, will power? Will power?

819
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't I don't necessarily possess. But yeah, no, he's

820
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: giving up all of his vices. You know, it just

821
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: sounds like, you know because when I when I read

822
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: your book, you know, and it's something I knew, but

823
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: just the shrine forces it. The thing about our fatherhood

824
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: is really on the job training, Like do you think

825
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: it's something you can ever truly learn to do? No, No,

826
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a journey, not a destination. And

827
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: because the kids are different, Like you know, you've got three,

828
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: your three girls, they're all different. My southern daughters are

829
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: very different, and as they get older, they present new challenges.

830
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: I understand. Um, so it's no. I think I have

831
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: found though. Um, and this is something I knew our

832
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: fathers didn't do. You start talking to other fathers, you

833
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: start talking to other dad You realize no one's doing

834
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: it right like, no one, no one, no one's mastered

835
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: us right. Um, But it's I'm a Carson Dally. Uh.

836
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's part of the Today's Show, and he

837
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: gave me some advice a couple of years ago. It's

838
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: always stayed with me, he said. At some point, you

839
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: realize that everyone's sacrificing something. You know, either you're sacrificing time,

840
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: you're sacrificing money, You're you're sacrificing something. You make peace

841
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: with that and you decide you're gonna focus over You're

842
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: gonna focus on quality over quality. Right. So I'm gonna

843
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: miss some stuff. I'm not gonna be some literal league games,

844
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: some soccer games. Maybe I'm missed a recital here there

845
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: because I've got to work. But when we are together,

846
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm present. I'm there, not on not on the cell phone. Uh.

847
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: And we're gonna take great trips, great vacations. We're gonna

848
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: make memories. Uh did last And that's that's always something

849
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: to stay with me. What did your father learn about

850
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: you that he didn't know when when when y'all were

851
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: writing this book doing these interviews, I don't think he knew,

852
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: Scratch said, I know he didn't know how angry and

853
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: resentful I was when I was younger, But he also

854
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: didn't know how proud I was of what he has

855
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: overcome and the man he's become. UM. And he didn't

856
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: know that because I didn't tell him that, UM. And

857
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I wanted. I wanted him

858
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: to read this, read this book, and it's it's a

859
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's a love letter to him. And when

860
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: I went to visit in rehab down in Statesburg, Georgian,

861
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: it gives me this letter. Forty years my father had

862
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: never written me a letter. It gives me, gives me

863
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: a letter, and it's it's it's his story. And he

864
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: had at the beginning of therapy, I guess, decided that

865
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: he needed to explain himself. And he explained all of it,

866
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: how he came to be the man that he was,

867
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: how he came to be the man that he was

868
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: not Um. His father talked, wrote about all of it

869
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: and wanted me to have it, and I keep it

870
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: in the safe. It's one of the one of my

871
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: most treasured possessions. Um. But it's it's it's just it's

872
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: wild to think. And again, you know, part of it

873
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 1: is on me. But it's wild to think that someone

874
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: in their late sixties, who struggled mightily with the addictions

875
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: that he struggled with, can decide late in life that

876
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: he wants to to to do better and be better

877
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: for his kids and for his grandkids primarily. Like I

878
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: see my dad now with his grandchildren, I'm like, who

879
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: is that man? Like it's riding bikes and out shooting

880
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: hoops with my son, Like it's a it's it's the

881
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: human in spirit. It's something. You know what I love

882
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: about it. I love the fact that he's doing it

883
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: because of what's happening here on earth. A lot of

884
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: people get right at the end of their life because

885
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: of what they think's gonna happen in the after life.

886
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: But he's like, no, I want to get right because

887
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: of what's happening here on earth in this moment. Yes,

888
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: that's that is that's a good point. I didn't even

889
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: hadn't really thought about that. But you're right. He talks

890
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: about his faith a little bit in the boat. You know,

891
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: we used to go to church. I mean I grew

892
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: up in the church, and Dad would never go And

893
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: and I asked him. We talked a fair amount about that,

894
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: and he finally had and it made perfect sense when

895
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: he when he explained it. He's never had a great

896
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: deal of patience for hypocrites. And he found in the

897
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: church a lot of the folks who were there on

898
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: Sunday were the same folks that he was drinking with

899
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: or shooting crafts with on Saturday. And a lot of

900
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: the folks who were in the choir or the same

901
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: folks who are, you know, cheating on their wives. Um.

902
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: And he didn't have patience for that, he just and

903
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: so it's I get it. Yeah, I got it. I

904
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: got it. Have you explained it? I didn't get it.

905
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: You know. When I was fifteen, I said, why didn't

906
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 1: Dad have to go to church three times a week

907
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: like we do? Um? But it's it's uh, I learned

908
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 1: a lot. You describe your father as a ghost. Oh yeah,

909
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: that was a nickname one of my friends gave him.

910
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: I won't, I won't, I won't get I won't say

911
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: her name because we're still friends. But no, because you know,

912
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: when you're growing up kids, you know, parents are showing

913
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 1: up for events, and my mom was always there. Sometimes

914
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: they're a little too much, but my dad was never there.

915
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: When you started playing video poker, there was a place

916
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: called Tom's Party Shop where he would usually play with

917
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: about a mile away from the house. If you were

918
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: coming to Columbia High School on the school bus, you

919
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: you could always see what was happening in Tom's Party

920
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: Shop direct. My dad drove a nineteen seventy three penty

921
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: A Clamans. He was the only person in America probably

922
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: driving a bright green nineteen seventy three Lamons in nineteen

923
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: ninety two, and so anytime someone saw the car, they

924
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: knew it was my dad. So people kids would be

925
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: coming on the school bus or driving to school and

926
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: they see, you know, at six thirty or seven in

927
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: the morning, there's my dad playing video poker, drinking his

928
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: tall boys the Timas party shop. And so one of

929
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: my friends one morning it was like, hey, I saw

930
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: you pops up Tom's Party Shop. He's like a ghost,

931
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: like you know, sometimes you're see him real fast and

932
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: he's gone blah, blah, man, it's like, I've never seen

933
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: your dad's face. And she was right, she's telling the truth.

934
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: But she nicknamed the ghost, and it was a nickname

935
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: that stayed and it came to represent later in life

936
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: kind of who he was to me, kind of there physically,

937
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: but not really there emotionally or mentally or any other

938
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: way for that matter. All Right, we don't move from NBC.

939
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: We have Craig Melvin joining us today as the Breakfast Club.

940
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: Good morning morning, everybody is cj Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne

941
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking

942
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: it with Craig Melvin and Charlomagne. One thing, even reading

943
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: your book, and I realized with father's it's like, that's

944
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: what you want from your father, right, Like you want

945
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: that emotion Like I feel like, for for my life,

946
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: all I got was disciplined, yes from my dad, not

947
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: real motion, not real love. Yes. Did you do you

948
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: feel like you're getting that now from him? Now? Okay?

949
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: But to your earlier point, Charlemagne, I mean, that's we

950
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: got that because that's what they knew. They didn't They

951
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: weren't capable, they were not capable of being the kind

952
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: of dads that we wanted him to be, that we

953
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: that we needed them to be. They just didn't have

954
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: They didn't have the tools in the toolbox. Um. But

955
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that until later in life. Yeah, Um,

956
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: so it's I Yes, I get that now from my dad. Now.

957
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: You know, he'll FaceTime at two in the afternoon. He's retired.

958
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: He'll FaceTime between the afternoon. It's like, oh, what's going

959
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: on with either I'm I'm I'm at work, pops, I

960
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: can't you know. But I always answer the call. And

961
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 1: he and one thing I love about my dad unlike

962
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: my mother, who I love. Uh that's a separate book.

963
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: But um, he never keeps you on the phone too long.

964
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: Like it's always it's three, three minutes, maybe four minutes.

965
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: If it's something serious, that's it. So that's why I

966
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: can talk to him every day. Mom calls, you know,

967
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: it's forty minutes. You there's no you can't wrap. So

968
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: but he calls. It just checks in, uh and always

969
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: ends with I love you. I love you, man, I

970
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: love you. I was twenty maybe college graduation before I

971
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: heard my dad say I love you. I never heard

972
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: of the kid no evil no, really, then it's you

973
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: know hugs. Oh man, there was no no hugs like

974
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: it was. You start hugging like you're going, what's going

975
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: on with you? Really? No? No, no, no, no, no, no,

976
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: no demonstrations of affection. No, that's not that was not Again.

977
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it goes back to cultural

978
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: and generational. But no, my dad, now you know, every

979
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: time you see him, he's hugging and I mean it's sister,

980
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: it's lu and anyone's capable of it. That's one of

981
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: the reasons I wanted to write the book like it's

982
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: and it's also about you know, a lot of times

983
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: in our families you have people who struggle with things.

984
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: You write them off. Sometimes you do it consciously, sometimes

985
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: you do it, you know, subconsciously, but you you you

986
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: you write them off. You kind of put them in

987
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: a corner. That's just who they are, that's who they're

988
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: gonna be. You never so deal with them. Uh. And

989
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: we did that with my dad for twenty years off

990
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: and on. Uh. And that's that was time that we

991
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: probably could have could have had back. But you know,

992
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: by the way I watched the show and listen to it,

993
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how therapeutic it was. And this is

994
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: this is U conversation. I probably have a good long

995
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: phone conversations. You could charge people to come in here

996
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: and against the law, but yeah, this is just what

997
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: was it like to like really interview your father? And

998
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: reason I asked that because having real vulnerable conversations with

999
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: your dad, no matter how old you are, it's so difficult,

1000
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: Like it's conversations I don't want to have with my

1001
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: pops right now that I still haven't even you know,

1002
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: got the courage to have yet. So how how was

1003
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: it having that real, vulnerable, honest conversation one of one

1004
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: of the highlights of my life. And that's what's gonna

1005
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: be a great gift for my kids and grandchildren and

1006
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: great kids one day. Because we've got like hours of

1007
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: these recordings of me doing what you're doing right now,

1008
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: just asking questions. And I had a couple of times

1009
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: I had to remember I was a journalist and take

1010
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: off my son hat I had to work up to

1011
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: the serious stuff. It became apparent after about the first

1012
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: hour he wanted to talk like he had been waiting

1013
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: for years on some of these questions about his relationship

1014
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: with his wife with my mother, how that came to be.

1015
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: Like there's, for instance, I wrote about in the book,

1016
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: there's this picture of me at their wedding reception. I

1017
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: was born in seventy nine, they got married in eighty two,

1018
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: and I'm at the wedding reception. I mean a little

1019
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: blue suit. I've always seen this picture. While I was like,

1020
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: oh wow, it's part of the big day. I asked

1021
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: my dad about the wedding reception. Of course, the interviews

1022
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: like wedding reception. We didn't have a wedding reception. I

1023
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, I've seen these pictures. I was there.

1024
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: It's like, no, no, no, that was an a wedding reception,

1025
00:50:54,600 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: and proceeds to explain how on their wedding day, my

1026
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: mom wanted a traditional wedding. He didn't want to have

1027
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: anything to do with that, and his cousin had to

1028
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: convince him to go to the party that she threw

1029
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 1: after like a week or two after they got married

1030
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: at the courthouse. I know any of that. Four to

1031
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: two years old. I never knew my parents origin story

1032
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: and saying, you know it in my mind. You know,

1033
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: in our minds we create these stories and then you

1034
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: start talking to Dad, and it's like, oh, I wanted

1035
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: you to dig a little deep on how your your

1036
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: relationship with your father affected your relationship with women. And

1037
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: the reason I say that because my father, you know,

1038
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: infidelity all throughout the match. I remember even approaching my

1039
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: pops one time about cheating on my mom and him

1040
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: saying to me, you only got one woman one day,

1041
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: you go understand. So it's just like that's a real mindful.

1042
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: So you go from either saying yourself, Okay, I gotta

1043
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: have multiple women because that's what Pop saying. I gotta

1044
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: be the exact opposite of my pops because I don't

1045
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: want to, you know, ruin my family the way my

1046
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: pop's ruined his. So I just wanted, you know, did

1047
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: it he didn't have any impact? It did. And that

1048
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: was actually one of the reasons I started therapy with

1049
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: my twenties was because I was I found myself incapable

1050
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: of having meaningful, substantive relationships, and I started to start

1051
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: talking to a therapist and she quickly helped me realize

1052
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: that one of the major reasons was because, you know,

1053
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: my father. For a variety of reasons, a lot of

1054
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: which related to the to the addiction. He didn't treat

1055
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: my mother very well. But again it goes back to

1056
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: what we were talking about, like he didn't know, he

1057
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: didn't know how to be a good husband. He didn't see,

1058
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, he had three siblings. My grandma was you know,

1059
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: at one point in her life, was running liquor, running numbers,

1060
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, did a couple stints in prison for it.

1061
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: And so that's that's what he saw growing up. And

1062
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: so he didn't see his mother treated well. He consequently

1063
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: didn't treat you know, my mother very well. I saw

1064
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: that growing up, and I just came to understand that

1065
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: that's you know, that was the dynamic between husband and wife.

1066
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 1: So that should be the dynamic between you know, boyfriend

1067
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: and girlfriend. Um so I probably owe a number of

1068
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: women from my my twenties, maybe early thirties an apology. Uh,

1069
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:18,959
Speaker 1: what did you what did you fall to say about

1070
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: your relationship when you decided to settle down and get married.

1071
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: I remember vividly on my wedding day when you look

1072
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: to your dad for some from some siege wisdom, you know,

1073
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: doing your time. I remember being in the bathroom and

1074
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: and I said, I think I maybe even tea him

1075
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: up for it. And I remember him saying vividly, listen,

1076
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: you know, we don't do divorce. That was it. That

1077
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: was that was I was. That was um No, but

1078
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: that's one thing about dad, Like, even before I got married,

1079
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: there were a couple of young ladies that I dated

1080
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: seriously and he always remember one you please don't okay, okay,

1081
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: h thank you, don't do that vy, don't look over there,

1082
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. But he always took to him

1083
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: like he was always far nicer uh to my girlfriends

1084
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: than me, and far nicer than my mother was. Um

1085
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: so no, but it's but you again, when you when

1086
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: you know better, you do better. Um and and we

1087
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: know better and thank God for it. Think about how

1088
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: well adjusted our children are going to be. It'll be

1089
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: Father's Day this weekend. So how would you define yourself

1090
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: as a father, mister Melvine? Oh, ain't y'all are good

1091
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: at this question asking thing? I sometimes forget it's and

1092
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: it's also not always fun to be on the other

1093
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: side either, tell you that much conversation. Yeah, but still questions, Um,

1094
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: how would I That's a good question, Charlot. Let me

1095
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: let me think, let me let me actually stop and

1096
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: think about my answer before, I just how would I

1097
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: describe myself as a father? Permissive? Perhaps too much so

1098
00:54:54,320 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: sometimes um fun I get my kids young, so I

1099
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: can you know, we we've a lot of a lot

1100
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: of rolling around the floor, a lot of a lot

1101
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: of wrestling with my son. I'd also like to think

1102
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: Charlemagne has a dad. I listen a lot. I engage

1103
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,919
Speaker 1: them in substantive conversations every day, like to to force

1104
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: them to think. And I don't want to be my

1105
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: kid's best friend. I have no interest in that. Nothing

1106
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: good comes from that. Um. But I do want them

1107
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: to think that I should be the first call or

1108
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: text um when something's wrong or if if if if

1109
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: someone has hurt them or they're scared, or if they're

1110
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: word I want I want to have that kind of

1111
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: relationship with my children, um that we didn't have where

1112
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: they can come to me first and not go out

1113
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: into the world first. UM. So that's I think that's

1114
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: the that's the at least that's the kind of dad

1115
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be. Some days I'm better out than others,

1116
00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, I answer you yeah, And I actually think

1117
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: you know the definition will change. You know, It's true,

1118
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna change. You got young kids, it's gonna change.

1119
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: And they're getting the team. It's gonna you know what

1120
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna constantly change, it's gonna constantly evolve.

1121
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: So and my dad always say fun, firm and fair.

1122
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: That's good. That's that's that. That's what you said. He says,

1123
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm fun dad, I'm firm, but I'm fair. But I'm fair,

1124
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: and that's what I try to be on my kids.

1125
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,640

Speaker 1: I love Florida. But one of my favorite things to

1257
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: do when I'm in Florida's turn on the local news.

1258
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: High levels of entertainment people. Okay, I can't believe it's free.

1259
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I was in Miami last weekend just watching the local

1260
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: news and laughing and shaking my head. Very hard to

1261
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: avoid the crazy that exist in Florida. You know, every

1262
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: day of our lives, we wake up and we attempt

1263
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: to avoid crazy. It's hard to avoid crazy in Florida.

1264
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: It's like a full time job to avoid crazy in Florida.

1265
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Because in Florida, you don't have to find crazy. Crazy

1266
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: will find you. And that's exactly what happened in this

1267
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: situation involving the sister Alexus Tally now Alexis Tally was

1268
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: arrested for domestic battery after putting hands on her girlfriend. Now,

1269
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: the other day, I told y'all on this radio, how

1270
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: I had a dream. No, let me rephrase. I had

1271
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: a nightmare that I was cheating on my wife, and

1272
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: in the nightmare, I felt the guilt, so I stopped.

1273
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: And then when I woke up the next morning, my

1274
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: wife said to me that she had a dream that

1275
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: I cheated on her and she woke up wanting to

1276
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: ff me up. When you got a soul tied with

1277
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: a person, y'all are really connected SYNCD up like your

1278
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: smartphone with a bluetooth. That's me and my wife. Well,

1279
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: my wife said she felt like she wanted to ff

1280
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: me up because of her dream. Alexis Tally actually fed

1281
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: her girlfriend up because of the dream. Okay, because of

1282
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: the dream her girlfriend was having. Oh how I wish

1283
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: there was a news report for this one, but allow

1284
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: me to read you the details off the smoking gun.

1285
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Police responded the calls from a neighbor who said they

1286
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: could hear a fight taking place. When authorities arrived at

1287
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: the scene, the twenty one year old victim said she

1288
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: was awoken after Alexis Tally claimed to hear her sleep

1289
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: talking about an X. I'm not making this up. Okay.

1290
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: If you're thinking, what the f please think what the

1291
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Florida Alexis Tally started beating on her girlfriend and her

1292
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: sleep because she thought she heard her girlfriend sleep talking

1293
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: about an X. A call to the arrest report, Alexis

1294
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: started punching the victim in the face after waking her,

1295
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: and cops noted that she had a visible swelling to

1296
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: the right side of her face. Now, when they say

1297
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Alexis woke her up, was it what the punch are before?

1298
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna shoot Alexis a little bell that slang.

1299
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not giving her no money towards

1300
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: the bell. I'm just talking about a hypothetical about the situation.

1301
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive that if I mentioned another woman that

1302
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: I was involved with while I was in a deep slumber,

1303
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: I too would get punched in the face. What about you, envy,

1304
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: I concur not justifying what alex did, just saying that

1305
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: as Florida as this sounds, this might garner the same

1306
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: reaction in any state. I mean, my wife woke up

1307
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: wanting to f me up because of a dream she

1308
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: had that I was doing something. Imagine, and she would

1309
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: have woke up to me calling out the name of

1310
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: some other woman I dealt with, my god, jee. This

1311
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: is why hot gritz used to get thrown on brothers

1312
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: in the sixties and seventies. Okay, yeah, Granddaddy got a

1313
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: scar right now on his back from that hot grits

1314
01:05:54,680 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: because he too was saying somebody else's name in his sleep. Okay.

1315
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali once said, if you even dream of beating me,

1316
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: you'd better wake up and apologize. Same rules apply with

1317
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: your significant other. Okay, just change beating the cheating. If

1318
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: you even dream of cheating on your girl, you better

1319
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: wake up and apologize now. Alexis was arrested for domestic

1320
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: battery and has maintained that their argument was only verbal,

1321
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: verbal rather than physical. She told the officers. She told

1322
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: the officers that the mark on her girlfriend's face was

1323
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: from a previous fight. That's not funny. It's not funny.

1324
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: But it's Florida. It's Florida, Okay, she told the police.

1325
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: Not the fight that was reported to the police. That

1326
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: was last week. It was from another fight. Its basically

1327
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: been the officer of That mark on her face wasn't

1328
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: from when I beat her this time. That was from

1329
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: the last time we fought. Boy, don't have anything else here, okay,

1337
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: talk for a couple of weeks. You don't think we

1419
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: be attracted to your best friends man. Would you be

1420
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,560
Speaker 1: willing to sacrifice your relationship with your best friend? Not

1421
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: at all? Like, that's why I told her half the story.

1422
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: But I feel horrible because now I'm like, I should

1423
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: have told her everything from the zoom. Yeah, I imagine

1424
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: she'd go through. Imagine she'd go through his phone and

1425
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,799
Speaker 1: see those messages that you didn't tell her about. Lord,

Speaker 1: I go, but I don't know why I like him now,

1427
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,240

01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: you know this, like there's no kind of loyalty. You

1453
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:15,839
Speaker 1: I'm twenty three years old. I'm very successful. I'm a teacher,

1454
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: but I'm having a hard time, you know, finding a

1455
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: significant other. I don't know if they're intimidated by me

1456
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: because I'm successful, but I'm having a hard time. All right,

1457
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: So what are you what are you doing to try

1458
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 1: to actually find somebody that you want to be with? Well,

1459
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 1: I'm like on dating apps, but they're not really accurate

1460
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: all the time because some man, these guys don't really

1461
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: have jobs there with their moms. So what dating apps

1462
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: are you want? There's this one on Facebook, and there's

1463
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 1: one like called bumble, and then there's pins. I don't

1464
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: want a lot, all right, Yeah, I enjoy Bumbo and

1465
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: I enjoy Facebook. I actually use bumbo is And I

1466
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 1: want to say a couple of things. Do you go

1467
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: out in person to ever meet people? As well? Um,

1468
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: not lately because it doesn't really like nobody wants to

1469
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 1: go on a date. But you don't have to go

1470
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: on a date. But do you go out, like, do

1471
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: you have friends who you go out with sometimes in

1472
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: a casual environment and group settings? Do your friends know

1473
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: you're looking? Are they trying to hook you up with

1474
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: some of their friends? Yeah? They know. I have had

1475
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,799
Speaker 1: a friend trying to feel with someone before. Because sometimes

1476
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: you have to be open to things, like you have

1477
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: to be out there. You have to start conversations with people.

1478
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: You have to be in places where it's a social atmosphere.

1479
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes even just going out and taking a class and

1480
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: something that interests you. In moving out of your comfort zone.

1481
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: I think it's really important when it comes to dating.

1482
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 1: A lot of times we get comfortable with just swiping

1483
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: and we're not out there living our life. And sometimes

1484
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: when you take some classes, or you go certain places,

1485
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: or you do certain things, you meet people who have

1486
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: similar interest too. So like what would you say, a

1487
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: good meet a good guy. I think if you go

1488
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: to like certain like mixers, if there's any events that

1489
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: you can go to, or some type of after work

1490
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: social activities, things like that are really good. I try

1491
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:14,640
Speaker 1: to make sure that I speak to people wherever I go,

1492
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 1: like if I'm at home depot, if I'm in the

1493
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: Apple store. You know, just be friendly. And sometimes just

1494
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 1: even having that type of persona brings more energy to you. Okay, well,

1495
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I always trying to like to be like to let

1496
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: them come to me. But it's not even about being thirsty,

1497
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That's the issue, Like you

1498
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: don't have to look at everybody as your potential mate.

1499
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to go out and enjoy meeting

1500
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: people and knowing people. They could be a friend, you

1501
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: could never see them again. But you don't have to

1502
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 1: put so much pressure on yourself to find your significant other.

1503
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: What you're trying to do is meet people who could

1504
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: play some type of part in your life or maybe

1505
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: just you know, have a nice social interaction. But it

1506
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be is that person going to be

1507
01:16:55,880 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: the one? Right? Well, I'll try to thank you who.

01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 1: own way. Sometimes it's also the energy that we're putting

1514
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: out there. So just go out there, don't put so

1515

Speaker 1: much pressure on yourself. You're still really young and you

1542
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: September third on Showtime. But some of the things that

1543
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 1: is revealed in the documentary, they said that actually Rick

1544
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 1: James really helped Lionel Richie's career and the reason why

1545
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: this happened is because Rick James was frustrated by disappointing

1546
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: sales for his album Throwing Down that came out in

1547
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,679
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two and the tour, so he went into

1548
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: the office of then Motown president Jay Lasker. He was

1549
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: delivering his next album, and he started to pour coke

1550
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: onto the desk. He snorted it, jumped on top of

1551
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 1: the desk, took out his penis and shoved it in

1552
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: Lasker's face while yelling, sell my goddamn record. You know

1553
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: what's crazy? That story sounds nuts until you say it's

1554
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 1: Rick James. And when you tease it earlier, I was

1555
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 1: like what. But when you say it's Rick James, I'm like, okay,

1556
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: de ventures are Rick James. That's Rick James. Now. Just

1557
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: so you know this, Kerry Gordy is the eldest son

1558
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: of Barry Gordy who founded Motown, so he's the person

1559
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: who's announcing all of this and kind of making sure

1560
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: that we get all of these amazing stories. There's one

1561
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,560
Speaker 1: surprise that comes early in the movie. It's revealed that

1562
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: in the beginning of his music career, he fled to

1563
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 1: Toronto to a escape the navy, and he went by

1564
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: the name of Ricky Matthews. So he was an abandon

1565
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: with Neil Young back then in the sixties band until

1566
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: their manager actually dimed him out for deserting it and

1567
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: he ended up in trouble for that. Now here's the

1568
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: trailer for that documentary. He found Parliament, Bootsie, all these people.

1569
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: They were kind of looking at Rick sideways because he

1570
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: had learned how to craft pop with funk, and so

1571
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: he hit the big time faster than they did. Rick

1572
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: was the smartest one out of all of us. He

1573
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: sold a lot of records. People came to the concerts,

1574
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: and you know, he used to talk about, Yeah, I'm

1575
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: sello more records, and y'all, I think George took offense

1576
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: a little bit, but all was fair and funk and

1577
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: war man. He sounds like a character. And if you

1578
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:50,600
Speaker 1: hear some of these stories, and you know, that's what

1579
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:52,560
Speaker 1: made Lionel Richie as big as he did because the

1580
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:55,760
Speaker 1: label decided to push Lionel Richie after Rick James did

1581
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: that stump with the cocaine and taking out his penis.

1582
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: They said the president was just like O Richie. That's

1583
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: all he said when he left the office. In other words,

1584
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: that's who we're going to be concerned about now. They

1585
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 1: also said that even though he was a very freaky guy,

1586
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: he had his own limits. His sexual exploit to him.

1587
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: More you do that to that person, let me watch,

1588
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: I want to orchestrate. According to his ex wife, he

1589
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: wasn't personally involved. He was not that kind of super freak.

1590
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: He didn't let people touch him. He wasn't like in

1591
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,679
Speaker 1: the Orgy. He would watch the Origin. He's a director. Yeah,

1592
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: more like that. Yeah. By the way, Showtime be getting

1593
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 1: all the great docs from all of the black legends.

1594

1596
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,879
Speaker 1: All right. Now, Wendy Williams is talking about the Foxy

1597
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: Brown book, and she's spilling some tea that we don't

1598
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: know is really true. Now, my girl kime out. Sorry,

1599
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 1: I was writing Foxy Brown's memoir and can't wait to

1600
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: read it. Yes, that memoir is coming out in December.

1601
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 1: Here is what Wendy Williams said. I remember when Foxy

1602
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: and jay Z had um I'll be okay. Foxy was

1603
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: the star of that. Jay Z was standing in the

1604
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: corner ringing his hands, talking about okay, all right, what

1605
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 1: do I do next? And then you know this was

1606
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 1: allegedly a romantical thing. It's it's all right, I'll say alleged,

1607
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: but we know, we know, yeah she hit it before.

1608
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: Beyonce aged you can't yeah, oh she added the allegedly.

1609
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: I was like, you cannot just say that, Yeah, you

1610
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 1: can't not alleged you was dead and you saw off

1611
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: for yourself. If not, you got to say allegedly, because

1612
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's definitely not all of its defamation.

1613
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: But it's definitely how liable for that because it's not

1614
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: true about Foxy Brown's hair loss, because she started talking

1615
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 1: hearing loss, because she started talking about how she wants

1616
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: her to um, how how she's going to figure out

1617
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: how to do an audio version of the memoir. That's

1618
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: not cool. Oh my god, I can't wait to read

1619
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: the book. Though, because I'm sure Foxy got a great

1620
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 1: story and she got the legendary Kimmel Sorry right and

1621
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: if with her two for her oh Man. Randomly, when

1622
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 1: I was at Carolines that night where Wendy and Miss

1623
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 1: Jones are there, Chemosario was with me also that night,

1624
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: coy ran into her. All right now. Paris Jackson was

1625
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: on Red Table Talk and she did sit down an

1626
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: interview with just Willow Smith and she was talking about

1627
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. She was talking about her

1628
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: past attempts to end her own life and what helped

1629
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: her break out of that mentality, and the two of

1630
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 1: them just really had a really great, in depth conversation.

1631
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: She talked about her PTSD from paparazzi, experienced audio hallucinations

1632
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 1: sometimes with Chemera clicks and severe paranoia, and have been

1633
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: going to therapy for a lot of things, but that

1634
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: included and I've started I'll hear like a trash bag

1635
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: rustling and I like flinch and panic. Is that from

1636
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 1: the paparazzi? Yeah, I think it's just like just standard PTSD.

1637
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: That's awful. She also talked about her field suicide attempts.

1638
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: Here's what she said, Well, do you feel regret when

1639
01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: they try and attempt suicide, like a last minute regret.

1640
01:23:57,800 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 1: There have been times where I did and times when

1641
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: I didn't, where I was upset that it didn't work. Yeah,

1642
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: but I can't say, like several years later that like

1643
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm really grateful that it didn't. Lord definitely sending healing

1644
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: Paris jack Absolutely. She said every day people told her

1645
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: to kill herself. What do you mean? And social media? Yeah,

1646
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: all right. In addition to that, she talked about how

1647
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 1: she feels like her dad, Michael Jackson, would be proud.

1648
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like you've done such a beautiful and

1649
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 1: graceful job of doing your own thing. Because kids like

1650
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 1: us do we feel like we have to live up

1651
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: to this certain standard. I feel like it's still probably

1652
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: there somewhere in the back of my head. But the

1653
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: louder thing that competes is that I feel like my

1654
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: dad would be proud. Yeah, I'm sure you wouldn't be.

1655
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: Thank God for therapy. I hope that she's, you know,

1656
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: doing the work to get a handle on all of

1657
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: that type of all that trauma she's dealing with. Well,

1658
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 1: at the end of this Paris Jackson and Billis Smith

1659
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,679
Speaker 1: actually went to the studio and did some music together.

1660
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: You saw they talked about they said, let's go do

1661
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:02,680
Speaker 1: some music. Should we just go to the studio, And

1662
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: then they were pictures of them together in the studio.

1663
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: But she did say the music does help her, all right,

1664
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,640
Speaker 1: And that is your rumor report, all right. Shout out

1665
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 1: to revolt everybody else to mixes up next. Today is

1666

Speaker 1: this morning, a couple of brothers. We have Thomas George Junior.

1677

Speaker 1: He's the chairman of the board for one hundred Black

1678
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: men of America Incorporated. And also we have oldest threat

1679
01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: joining us this morning. Good morning, guys, Good morning. How's everything.

1680
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:04,799
Speaker 1: That's mamas, it's a wonderful sunny day here in Atlanta, Georgia.

1681
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 1: No complaints now for people that don't know what is

1682
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,680
Speaker 1: the organization? One hundred Black Men of America, and y'all

1683
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: got way more than a hundred Black men. So let's

1684
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 1: bread around and let's break down the name of what

1685
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 1: your brothers do for the community. Well, we have thousands

1686
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: of members. We actually got our start our first chapter

1687
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,800
Speaker 1: in New York nineteen sixty three, founded by the late

1688
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: Jackie Robinson, the late mayor David Dinkins Edison Wingate. But

1689
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,719
Speaker 1: the key is they came together in sixty three dealing

1690
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: with some of the same missus we're dealing with today,

1691
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 1: and it was dealing with public safety. And at that

1692
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: time sixty three, black police officers could not arrest white

1693
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: citizens unless they had a white police officer with them.

1694
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: And on this particular day at sixty three, one of

1695
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,879
Speaker 1: our brothers was at the scene of the crime arrested

1696
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: the white citizen. And there was the level or the department,

1697
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 1: and so all of these men came together. They changed

1698
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: the paradigm in the Public Safety Department in New York.

1699
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: And at the end of the year, the question was

1700
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: what we stayed together? They said yes. So the next

1701
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: courtion was what shall we call ourselves? And David Dinkins said,

1702
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 1: we'll call ourselves who we are? One hundred black men.

1703
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: That gave rise to one hundred Black men incorporated in

1704
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,759
Speaker 1: New York. And in nineteen eighty six, with nine chapters,

1705
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: we came together and created one hundred Black Men of America.

1706
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: Today we have one hundred and three chapters. We're in Africa, England,

1707
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,599
Speaker 1: the Caribbean Islands, over one hundred and twenty five thousand

1708
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,639
Speaker 1: young people that are mentoring program at about eight thousand

1709
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,560
Speaker 1: members who make a difference. And so what we do

1710
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: is our whole motto is what they see is what

1711
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 1: they'll be. And we're real men given real time, and

1712
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 1: of course we have what is for for the future.

1713
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:52,439
Speaker 1: Everything we do must fit in those four categories education, mentoring,

1714
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 1: health and wellness, and economic empowerment with an overlay of

1715
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 1: leadership development. And the organization is moving and we are

1716
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: really real men who are investing the time all over.

1717
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: We got everybody from professional athletes, retired to athletes, corporate execs,

1718
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 1: you know, Kim Chernald, all of these people have been

1719
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,760
Speaker 1: a part of this great organization making a difference. So

1720
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 1: what's the overall theme this year's conference. Well, the thing

1721
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: for this year's conference, oldis why don't you just lay

1722
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: that on this year's time to act. We didn't come

1723
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: to see you here. It's time to act, adapt again,

1724
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 1: challenge and triumph. And that basically is that we can't

1725
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: be sitting on the sidelines. Those who have not been

1726
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 1: to sit on the sideline and just watch what's going on.

1727
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 1: They've got to be engaged, got to be inbobed. We

1728
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: got to fight to win. And then of course we've

1729
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 1: got to challenge those issues, even as we did when

1730
01:28:56,479 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 1: the previous president wanted to divide this name and the

1731
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: issue of racism, we were right there dealing with it then.

1732
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 1: And the last thing that is that whole issue on

1733
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and with this challenge, is that we cannot

1734
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: continue to spread the myths. I got my second vaccine

1735
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 1: shot four months ago, fights and no side effects. But

1736
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: if you've had almost six hundred thousand people to die

1737
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 1: from this virus, why would you be afraid of maybe

1738
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: two days of discomfort if you have two days understanding

1739
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 1: because you're black. And that's the other myth black people

1740
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 1: don't get. Don't get COVID nineteen. Look at how many

1741
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 1: of our people have died. We've been leading the number

1742
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: of deaths in this nation a lot because of precondition.

1743
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: But the key for us is that we've got to

1744
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 1: step up. We got to stand up and we got

1745
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: to act. Just as we also have to deal with

1746
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: the whole political arena while we are in the impartisan.

1747
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 1: If you look at the efforts that took place and

1748
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: right here in Georgia, the one hundred was engaged with

1749
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 1: the Divine Nine, engaged with NACP and everybody, and we

1750
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 1: delivered like never before on the elections for the first

1751
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:14,439
Speaker 1: African American US Senator. And of course we made the

1752
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: cat the decisive of votes that helped us to get

1753
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: this country back on track. I was gonna ask, you know,

1754
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 1: the conference is virtual, why is it still virtual? Now?

1755
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: The world's over? Back up now? And then you are

1756
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and Atlanta has been open for a long time.

1757
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 1: Now people are still dying, and so dj MB to

1758
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 1: say it's over, you know, for example, here in Georgia,

1759
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 1: we've only had forty of our population to get the vaccine.

1760
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,599
Speaker 1: And I hear black folks talking about why I prayed

1761
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: to God, God's gonna protect me. I said, God sent

1762
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: you the vaccine, why don't you go ahead and take it.

1763
01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 1: People are still being infected, people are still dying. Black

1764
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: folks still having the big parties with three and four

1765
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 1: and five hundred people in them with no mask on

1766
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 1: and not taking the vaccine. And all of my children

1767
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 1: have had the vaccine. Three of my grandchildren have had it,

1768
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 1: and my others are about to get it now that

1769
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 1: they've lured the age. So the reality is not over yet.

1770
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: And so we're gonna error on the car being cautious.

1771
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 1: Were expect to be back next year, but until we do,

1772
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna go virtual. This last time. We decided in

1773
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: March we would not do it in person because you know,

1774
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 1: some of our members are older, and so we're working

1775
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 1: to get people to get the vaccine. But next year

1776
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 1: we'll be ready, but we're not gonna rush to kill

1777
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:39,600
Speaker 1: anybody infect anybody with us happening. You laying down that

1778
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 1: great entertainment On Friday last year, we had over eleven

1779
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:47,200
Speaker 1: thousand on line with us for the conference and we're

1780
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: going to try and meet or exceed that this year.

1781
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is we'd rather be safe and

1782
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 1: we'll get back together when we get this totally under control.

1783
