Also, we're gonna talk about why 80 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: proximity matters, why it definitely matters who you came up with, 81 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 1: who you allowing your space, and how people can take 82 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: certain things and try to twist them to devalue your 83 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: present self and they'll try to use your paths to 84 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: do it. It's a very unique situation, and I think 85 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: we have encountered something that human beings are doing to 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: try to tap into other people's success story, and I 87 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: think it's disgusting. 88 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 2: And so we're gonna talk about a little bit about 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: that today. 90 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: Also, Shannon shap I've seen what Shannon shap came to 91 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: a settlement agreement with the young lady who came out 92 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: with the fifty million dollar lawsuit, and all of a 93 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: sudden they settled it. And for me, if you know, 94 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: if I'm being completely honest with you guys, I still 95 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: really didn't understand why he would do that. He did 96 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: it at a time where he allowed for all of 97 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: the negative press to go out, He allowed for all 98 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: of the brands and add companies and sponsorships to bag up, 99 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: and then he went and he's went. 100 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: And settled the lawsuit. 101 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: You know, he came out saying I'm a fight, fight, fight, 102 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: and he didn't fight a lick. 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. 104 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: And that kind of devalues what some of these other 105 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: individuals do. Like you saw Jay Z say, yo, I'm 106 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: coming to fight that, and he actually followed through with Shannon. 107 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: There was a lot of words that were used when 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: this settlement was announced. 109 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: There's a lot of there was a lot of virtue. 110 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: Signaling from the alleged victim side lawyer, and I just 111 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: think we'll speak to some of that today now. So 112 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: for people who don't know the Shannon Sharp case that 113 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: was filed, maybe about six to eight months ago by 114 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: a young lady who alleged great from Shannon shap This. 115 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 1: This young lady has some very damning stories, right, very 116 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: very vivid testimonies and made some very interesting allegations against 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: Shannon Shaw. And if you didn't listen to doctor Umar, 118 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: he was on my show and he alleged that he. 119 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: Wanted to put a noose around on his neck or 120 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: choke him. 121 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say a noose, of course, that's 122 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: me pardon and you know, for dramatic effect. But she 123 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: wanted he wanted allegedly, he wanted to be choked and 124 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, called a monkey according to doctor Umar Johnson 125 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: on my show. Now what I will say is he 126 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: was into this BDSM stuff. And again, you cannot have 127 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: this kind of violent sexual encounters without the relationship equity. Oftentimes, 128 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: if you're not found, if you have found yourself enjoying 129 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: some of the things that scribble outside of the lines 130 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: as it pertains to sexual encounters, you want to do 131 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: that with your partner. You don't want to go and 132 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: find a girl at the gym and then two weeks 133 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: from now, you choking and you gotta leash around a 134 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: neck and your dog walking around the mansion, right, And 135 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: I know some of these dudes, they can't really resist 136 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: their cravings because once you start to have that level 137 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: of sex, you go to searching for it, and you 138 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: know what it is meant for you will come to you, right, 139 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: The universe will present you with the things that your 140 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: heart desires. But you need not searching a way where 141 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: you are well outside of your comfort zone trying to 142 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: real people in. You need not go fishing for that 143 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: type of experience because anytime you're fishing, you got bait 144 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: on the hook, and that bait can be used against 145 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: you in the court of law. But luckily for Shannon Sharp, 146 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,559 Speaker 1: and again I guess I could say congratulations to Shannon Sharp. 147 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: It feels like this is an effort to save his 148 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: career or what is left of his career in television. 149 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, Shannon shap podcast, if you're asking me, 150 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: it's falling off. And I don't say that with any disrespect. 151 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: I think it's still gonna land amongst the top podcast 152 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: in the market. But where it was headed and where 153 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: it was that right in the trajectory of it, I 154 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: think it has took a massive hit for whatever reason, 155 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: he's still getting a guess, but the numbers are not 156 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: the same them dudes, he would do millions in one day. 157 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: It'll literally, you know, he'll have certain guests in. It'll 158 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: do a million or two in one fucking day. Now 159 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: you'll look up, it'll be two weeks in that four 160 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: or five hundred thousand, which again is still good numbers. 161 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: But I think this did affect his business in a 162 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: way that's gonna be hard form to bounce back. When 163 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: we talk about interview style, Shannon is someone who is entertained. 164 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: Entertaining I won't take that from Shannon, but the one 165 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: on one interview thing, like what I do and what 166 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: some of the other people do, like Joe Rogan. I 167 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: just think there's a special skill set that is needed 168 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: to do this in a way where it's effective. Even 169 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: when I look at Cam Newton, I don't really watch 170 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Y'all got to put me on if Cam 171 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: Newton is one of those guys who have a great podcast, 172 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: because I notice he gets a lot of good guess, 173 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: a lot of big guests, But I just don't when 174 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: I watch him. 175 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: It's like, I. 176 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: Don't really feel as though he's adding to the interview. 177 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: I think he's asking questions nonetheless and doing his job. 178 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to throw a slight at him 179 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: because I don't want to be like the people I criticize. 180 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: Right. 181 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: You heard me last episode talk about Norian. He's always 182 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: sitting on black podcasters, and part of me understands it 183 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: because that's its competition. But when you're in that position, 184 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: in a leadership role, you want to become a subject 185 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: matter expert, not a hating ass old nigga. You gotta 186 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: be careful. Some of these niggas ain't shining so long. 187 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: They'll get amongst the young niggas and come and turn 188 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: into a hater trying to shine on the young niggas, 189 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, and go big on the young niggas, and 190 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: I just don't have no respect for that, and they 191 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: go for none of you old niggas that come from 192 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: the rap world. You know what I'm saying, Because my 193 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: question then becomes, who have you signed? And who have 194 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: you put on? Who the fuck is you niggas putting on? 195 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: And y'all keep talking about all this game y'all got, 196 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: and all this money y'all making and y'all ain't put 197 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: one black podcast in position, and that says something. I 198 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: don't know what it says, and I can't put my 199 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: finger on it because I need not assume. I can 200 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: only deal with information presented, and it ain't much information presented. 201 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: But what I will say is that niggas is in 202 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: position where they should be passing, and they continue to 203 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: take the shot. And there's something to be said about 204 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: a person that's on the team because we all in 205 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: this together. And that's the point I was making in 206 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: the last episode, is that, Yo, this ain't about black 207 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: podcast versus black podcast if we all kind of talking 208 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: about the same topics, kind of interviewing the same people. 209 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: This is about black podcasts taking more to market share, 210 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: create their. 211 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 2: Own Rogan verse. 212 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: Right, Rogan had a scenario where he lifted up ten 213 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: to fifteen podcasters. What the fuck is these niggas doing. 214 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: They'll sign a podcast and then do nothing for him. 215 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: I just it shocked me to see nor Rich still 216 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: pedaling the same conversations about there's only three podcasts matter 217 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: while he ran around and got on another podcast, and 218 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: then he's starting a fucking network. You have a brand 219 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: new podcast signed to you, why would you shit on 220 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: podcasters as a whole. Sometimes you will cut the tree 221 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: to give you shaved, young nigga, and that's my game. Listen, 222 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: little nigga, do not ever cut the tree that provides 223 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: you shade, because then you will be standing in the sun. 224 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying. But if you are someone. 225 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: That has a network, yo, your job is to really 226 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: uplift these motherfucking podcasters, and there's no way to do 227 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: that by running around saying there's only three podcasts that matter. 228 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: Number one is false and number two it's counter productive 229 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: to the goal. And so it has to be of 230 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: selfish intent. It has to be something I always tell 231 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: y'all to judge by cause and effect. Don't never leave 232 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: ann one of them out. What a cause of nigga 233 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: to run around saying that, and what effect is it having. 234 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: It's literally having zero effect outside of offending black podcasters 235 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: over and over and you keep apologizing for it, so 236 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: you can't mean the apology. The best apology has changed behavior, 237 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: and every time niggas go on the press run, they 238 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: shit on the rest of the podcasters. I gotta be 239 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: careful not to be one of you niggas. I gotta 240 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: be careful to stand on the mount. If I do, 241 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: gotta beat my chest. Let's beat this motherfucker and speak 242 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: about the entire market.

How you niggas running the business the infrastructure. 266 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: That's why when I see Joe Budden going through the 267 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: New York Times with the twenty million dollars a year 268 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: at least, that's like, yo, all right, you can't go 269 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: independent and still make some money. But everybody else they 270 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: won't even tell you how they're making the money, where 271 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: it's coming from, what's going on? 272 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: How do we do it? Oh man? 273 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: Just get with the companies? Yeah, how do we get 274 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: with the companies?

How do we get to the companies? 277 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: Cause you niggas won't pass a number off to save 278 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: your life. If God come down right now and say 279 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill you if you don't give one of 280 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: them niggas a number to an ad company or help 281 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: one of these young boys that may take your position, 282 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: these niggas are gonna pass away. 283 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: On Jesus Christ. 284 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,239 Speaker 1: But back to Shannon Shaw, the case was dismissed with prejudice. 285 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: If people don't know what that means is that means 286 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: the case is over for good. Right, That mean the 287 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: court's made a final decision and the same claim cannot 288 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: be filed again with this young lady. Now, there's a 289 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: couple different things that we have to take in mind. 290 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: I've read a couple of articles that were speaking to 291 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: the fact that although it was dismissed with prejudice, mean 292 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: that this same claim cannot be brought to the courts 293 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: again with this individual. I also read that the courts 294 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: did order that, hey, don't get rid of none of 295 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: them videos. Yeah, yeah, nah, don't get rid of none 296 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: of them videos now, because we might got to use 297 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: that to explain the behavior that may have happened to 298 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: someone else. See, it's a setup and they've putting them 299 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: in the trick bag with him settling this. Right, granted, 300 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: it was settled, but this is where the water becomes muddy, 301 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: because it damn them. Means that Shannon Sharp didn't win 302 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: the case. He just paid to close the door. And 303 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: you gotta know the door shut loud when it's already 304 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: been cracked open to the public. So if you've paid 305 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: for your silence after the noise already hit the streets, 306 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,239 Speaker 1: that ain't damaged to control my nigga. That's damaged confirmation. 307 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: So there's people now knowing that, all right, he'll pay something. 308 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: So if we got some on him, let's go on attack. 309 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: Now. That's why you hear the judge say, hey, don't 310 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,959 Speaker 2: get rid of that video. Man. 311 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: I think we got a couple of other girls to 312 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: have some allegations on you, and I send my heart 313 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: out to Shannon. Hopefully you don't go bankrupt fucking with 314 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: all of this shit. Now, the number that this young 315 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: lady got from Shannon shap has not been confirmed. There's 316 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: rumors out there that maybe it was twenty million, maybe 317 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: it was ten million, seven figures, eight figures right. All 318 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: I know is she got some money. Shortly after that, 319 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: she came out and says that she's retiring from OnlyFans. 320 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: Made a press release saying she's retiring from Only Fans. 321 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: If you're asking me, that's virtue signaling. See, because he 322 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: may have it ridden in the settlement. You can't talk 323 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: about how much I gave you, You can't talk about 324 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: certain things that happened in the court proceedings. But I 325 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: can virtue signal and let these other girls know that, Hey, 326 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,239 Speaker 1: I got enough to hang it up. 327 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 2: I got enough to hang it up. 328 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: I would have not even allowed for her to do 329 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: that because I'm already knowing how this thing goes. 330 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: Right. 331 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: It was interesting because Shannon Shaw rejecting the initial offer, 332 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: it suggested confidence in a lot of our eyes right 333 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: in his legal standing, in his position. But now it 334 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: looks like a strategic misstep by him being told not 335 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: to erase the tape. That's saying that you may you 336 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: may have settled now, but now you gotta settle every 337 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: time because that tape, along with this settlement could be 338 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: it's kryptonite. So it's a lady named Michelle Evans. She's 339 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: another ex girlfriend. She's filed a fresh fifty million dollar 340 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: lawsuit with a judge ordering that that sex tape be preserved, 341 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: raising new legal dynamics. I remember Chris Brown after he 342 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: went through whatever he went through, as it pertains to 343 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: some allegations on him. Man, he fought that shit for 344 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: a decade. It was literally a decade of backlash. So 345 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: now I look at Shannon, and I know he's trying 346 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: to settle some of these things to preserve some of 347 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: his TV career. But boy, that first bite proved the 348 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: meat tender. Boy, They know the meat tender. Now boy, 349 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: wee they coming for some more of that boy. And 350 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: I just think that he's in a weird place at 351 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: this point. Man. When you settle, how you sent a 352 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: signal that there's gold in them heels. Yeah, Now some 353 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: niggas got some money up in them hill. So now 354 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: you start to see people coming, People gonna come out 355 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: of the ward work. And so people ask me learn 356 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: how to settling play into some of these scenarios. And 357 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: again I don't. I never think that settling is off 358 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: the table. I think when you settle was just as 359 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: important as you settling. That is the strategic misstep that 360 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: a lot of these gentlemen make. You see, Puffy made 361 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: that mistake. 362 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 2: Right. 363 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: If you're gonna settle, my nigga gone settle before it 364 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: really hits the fan. But soon as shit came out 365 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: with Cassie, Puffy didn't settle. Within one day, twenty thirty 366 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: million dollars he sent over. But when she was sending 367 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: over demand letters, he would just swat him down and 368 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: pat him away and act like that they didn't exist. 369 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 2: But this young lady Gabrielle was. 370 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: An active only fans creator, and of course social media 371 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: weaponized that and called her an attention seeking clout chaser. 372 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: And so you got several black men who were celebrities 373 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: that ended up in a situation where they had to 374 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: making settlement offer. But again the misstep is making those 375 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: offers after those allegations have hit the press. I know 376 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,239 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods paid out early. He paid out early and 377 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: kept a lot of his scandals private, but it just 378 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: didn't stop the public ruins. So you have both sides 379 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: where you can settle out instill it'll make it to 380 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: the public. Now, it makes it to the public in 381 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: a different way, in particular when you're dealing with these 382 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: lawyers like Tony Bunsby the allegations against him, and of 383 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: course we can't confirm on the nome is that once 384 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: he goes to make a lawsuit against you, not only 385 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: is there a legal juncture that has to happen in court, 386 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: but then there's a pr firm that gets on the 387 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: side of the victim and they start to you know, 388 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: run press releases and they start to engage the public 389 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: because they understand that some of that public pressure can 390 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: kind of get the bills paid. And I honestly cannot 391 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: say that misleading the culture with those allegations, because again, 392 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: your celebrity status does play into the market share that 393 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: you hold as not only a podcaster, but someone that 394 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: is signed a Disney like Shannon and on ESPN First 395 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Take and all of these different things. Now, do I 396 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: think First Take is gonna bring it back? I honestly don't. 397 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: Honestly don't. And if they do, I think the position 398 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: will be. I think it'll be a lesser position, in particular, 399 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: if you continue to get these lawsuits happening. If I 400 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: was a woman and a messy woman and someone that 401 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: wanted to extract funds from a higher earner, then what 402 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: I would do. And again I think mister Bunsby, which 403 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: is the lawyer who's behind some of these lawsuits, I 404 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: think they do understand the climate that we're in. If 405 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: I was him, what I would probably do is soon 406 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: as ESPN says Shannon will be back for this NFL season, 407 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: and here's another lawsuit on the table, get that paid, 408 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: because it's gonna affect everything you have going on. 409 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: And it's funny because Shannon being on. 410 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: TV does add validity to his podcast, it may not 411 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: be streamlined, But the visibility does have an effect on 412 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: his podcast. Man, being on TV every day and the 413 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: number one show in the market has some effect on 414 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: your podcast and the status of it. So I do 415 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: think at some point he has to worry about, you know, 416 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: are they gonna come back now? Also, the timing of 417 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: this is interesting, right. It's almost like he's saying, your 418 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: football season is coming up. I need to get this 419 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: off the plate and then go back and get with 420 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: ESPN to see what they are gonna do. If I 421 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: was Shanning, I probably would have had a conversation with 422 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: them prior to and I probably would have asked or 423 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: had my legal team on my management or whoever represents 424 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: me my agents with them that if we can get 425 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: this dismissed with prejudice, does that solidify my job? 426 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 2: Right? 427 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: Do I get to continue to be on First Take 428 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: and have my position with ESPN? And if they would 429 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: have said yes, I think I probably would have probably 430 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: settled as well. If I was in his position. With 431 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: all of the damning evidence that this young lady says 432 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: that she has, it's just an interesting place to be in. 433 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: But again, man, my heart goes out to Shannon. He's 434 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: going through it. Football season is about to start, so 435 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna see how this plays into whether or not 436 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: he will return to ESPN and be on their daily 437 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: or not. And so these are situations that we will 438 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: be monitoring in the coming months. 439 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 2: Let's move on from that now. 440 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: I want to confront a different kind of story in 441 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: this culture were living in. You heard me talk about 442 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: BG earlier, and I don't know some of these people 443 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: who are speaking about BG or some of the things 444 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: that are being said, and again, it's not about them 445 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: in particular. I think that a lot of us that 446 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: come in this culture from the inner city and make 447 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: something of ourselves, we have to deal with some of 448 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: the residue of people who I guess try to justify 449 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: while they are not in the positions that we are in. 450 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: And so a lot of times people take shots at 451 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: the throne, and I guess it comes along with being 452 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: a king. Too many times we deal with people who 453 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: we may have growed up with, may have shared the 454 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: same street, may have shared the same cafeteria or same 455 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: hallways with, and they try to act like proximity as participation. 456 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: And today I want to speak a little bit about that. 457 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: But we're gonna confront a new kind of fraud, right, 458 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: people that say they know you, people that say they 459 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: grew up with you, and all they really know is 460 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: the past, the past location, maybe when you was a kid, 461 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: maybe growing up next to you in the sandbox. But 462 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: we're not doing the same things anymore. There's a sickness 463 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,959 Speaker 1: spreading amongst our people. I used to be in school 464 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: with him syndrome, or I used to I grew up 465 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: with him syndrome, or you know, I knew him at fifteen, 466 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: I used to date him when we were sixteen. You 467 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: even got women that share this. And I think if 468 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: you haven't seen someone in twenty five years, you are 469 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: fool to think you know them. People like you're sick 470 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: in the head. Like literally, there's no one that I 471 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: haven't seen in twenty five years that I'm gonna act 472 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: like I know them. That's just not a thing. I'm 473 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: not that delusion Or to think that, Yo, the person 474 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: I knew at sixteen, you're that person. Still Like, it's 475 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: no way you're that stupid, But evidently people are that stupid. 476 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: I do think that's value in people trying to act 477 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: like they're a part of the blueprint, especially when the 478 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: building that's came together, especially when it's a Riverfund property. 479 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: You dig what I'm saying when it's a mansion, Like 480 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: everybody want to be a part of the blueprint. And 481 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: that's for the people who just want to seem more 482 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: important than they truly are in your lives or. 483 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: A part of your story. 484 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: But there's a flip side to that, people that are 485 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: trying to discredit you. And I want to speak to 486 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: that a little bit coming up in the inner city. 487 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: You don't get to choose your neighbors. You don't get 488 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: to choose the people you went to school with. You 489 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: don't get to choose the people who was a part 490 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: of your story at that particular time. But again, it's 491 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: value in them to other people, and I guess to 492 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: themselves if they can act as if they were a 493 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: part of the blueprint, in particular, if this house turned 494 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: out to be a mansion, if this building ended up 495 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: being worth a hunting me. Now, now I'm part of 496 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: the blueprint. I was one of the ones that drew 497 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: up the first sketch. I was the architect of that building. 498 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: It's a very nice accolade to have on your resume. 499 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: But if we're being honest with each other all of 500 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: the times that's not true. And what I've noticed, even 501 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: with my run that I'm having, it's it's always the 502 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: people who never showed up that feel left out. It's 503 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: always the people who never done much that feel left out. 504 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: You were never there, You were never part of this thing. 505 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: You never gave us any encouragement, you never enhanced us 506 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: in any way.
