Speaker 5: walk across that stage. Boy, you're gonna kick the bucket. Okay,
Speaker 5: we're gonna go. Prayers up for Jamie Fox? Could we
Speaker 5: do some snaps for Jamie Fox? We do have some
Speaker 5: intel from BT said something off camera? Can you saying
Speaker 5: on camera?
Speaker 1: Ser Yeah.
Speaker 4: I talked to one of Fox's personal friends and because
Speaker 4: I was nervous, I'm not gonna lie. I was hosting
Speaker 4: the club last night and the DJ was like, Yo,
Speaker 4: we want to do something for Jamie Fox and you know,
Speaker 4: saying prayers up.
Speaker 1: And I said, man, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4: I don't think I should say that on a microphone
Speaker 4: because it sounds like he's in a bad place. Because
Speaker 4: if you went on Twitter, yesterday, it was like he
Speaker 4: was like trending number one about his health. So I
Speaker 4: called one of his personal friends and I was like,
Speaker 4: hey man, you know, I'm a little concerned because we
Speaker 4: we've had news in the past about other people in
Speaker 4: the culture that we thought were doing well, you know,
Speaker 4: from the media, and it wasn't that case. And you know,
Speaker 4: he said, Jamie Fox is good, that he's in good spirits,
Speaker 4: and you know, uh, he said that, you know, Fox
Speaker 4: is just a personal a private person, and he doesn't
Speaker 4: That's just how he've always been. So he said, don't
Speaker 4: believe all the stuff that you see on the internet,
Speaker 4: because he said I talked to him almost every day.
Speaker 8: I think the thing about it is people love him
Speaker 8: so much that they want to make sure that they
Speaker 8: are supporting. But I think whether you know his true
Speaker 8: condition or not, just stay preyed up, wish the family.
Speaker 6: Well and prayer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, He's just didn't like the fact that people, you know,
Speaker 4: saying that like talking like Fox is like damn near
Speaker 4: like on his death bed, and he's like, that's not
Speaker 4: the case.
Speaker 1: He said, I just talked to him yesterday.
Speaker 8: Well, there was a headline that was saying that, you know,
Speaker 8: his family is preparing.
Speaker 6: For the worst health declines.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 8: So people were shocked by that, but nonetheless, the family
Speaker 8: does not need to focus on any of the headlines,
Speaker 8: and people don't need to be worried about what is
Speaker 8: actually happening while the family is going through it. Just
Speaker 8: stay preyed up, send them your love, and that's it.
Speaker 1: Should I tell my favorite Jamie Fox, so they.
Speaker 5: Be not the usual well yeah, unpredictable.
Speaker 1: Babies.
Speaker 5: Name is revealed after one of the Wu Tang's founding members, Rizza, Uh,
Speaker 5: can we pronounce?
Speaker 1: Can you help me pronounce this middle name? Though? I
Speaker 1: think it's Mayors? So you said this about I think so?
Speaker 9: Yeah, because so Rizza Alston Mayor.
Speaker 6: I like that. I really like that name.
Speaker 5: Sound like rz A has always rich.
Speaker 10: Rizza has always been like a cool name, mysticol name.
Speaker 1: A rich name. And I don't even think Rizza Isa's
Speaker 1: real name though it's not.
Speaker 10: But it's definitely a cool name, and it's it's very powerful.
Speaker 10: It seems to me, like, you know, like when you
Speaker 10: hear the Rizza, you know, even.
Speaker 1: The whole thinking about karate.
Speaker 4: Okay, I just think celebrities just can name their kids whatever.
Speaker 4: They want to name them because they know that they're
Speaker 4: going to be good. Like when I was coming up,
Speaker 4: your parents would just name you anything and it would
Speaker 4: be bad. And then you just go to your white
Speaker 4: friend's house and like, what's your name? My name is Author.
Speaker 4: Watch your family name you author? Because that's what I'm
Speaker 4: put on my resume. I'm gonna get a good job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is actually my dad's name.
Speaker 9: Everybody has a nice names here.
Speaker 5: Yeah on paper, sure, Byron Octavia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could definitely go get corporate jobs on our resume.
Speaker 9: For sure.
Speaker 1: You don't know what I look like, Sean, is that
Speaker 1: you had the game.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm talking about. You're ready for me,
Speaker 5: like what we thought you was. You know, they're definitely
Speaker 5: not going to expect Oh listen, my listen.
Speaker 4: When I went to school, all the people that I
Speaker 4: only met two people named Barron, and they both was white,
Speaker 4: and they probably looking at me like how'd you get that?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 1: And the other persons from the movie played.
Speaker 4: It now he ruled my name. But luckily that was
Speaker 4: when I was going, you know, out of high school.
Speaker 9: You know a ton of black Byrons.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. Well, I grew up in Arkansas.
Speaker 5: The second was from movie and then you're the second
Speaker 5: Byron I've ever met. And then we got a Barron
Speaker 5: one of the interns walking around in here.
Speaker 1: There's a very rich man named Byron Allen, who you know,
Speaker 1: Bron Allen, And it was a poor named Lord Byron too.
Speaker 8: Oh God, when I jump into Uber, they'd be like Suzanne, like, yeah,
Speaker 8: you wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Expect that at all, Yes, and then.
Speaker 8: They immediately go back to the hip hop station. I'd
Speaker 8: be like friand you had to change.
Speaker 1: Would you'all rename yourselves as y'all wanted to, or I.
Speaker 4: Win the game myself unless it was like Lord Byron
Speaker 4: or something where.
Speaker 10: Your parents I'm guessing like relative for you Byron.
Speaker 1: No, it actually came from white Man.
Speaker 5: Oh, my mom named me after Sean Connery, the actor
Speaker 5: that's e A and Sean Connery.
Speaker 1: My mom was friends with this white dude she used
Speaker 1: to gamble with. It's her favorite actor, Sean Connery.
Speaker 9: But what did you say your mom had new a gambler.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so my mom used to gamble and this white
Speaker 4: dude that she was friends with.
Speaker 1: That's that's how they was friends. Though she was like Byron,
Speaker 1: there you go, she went a lot with them. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe here a good luck charge. Yeah, I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I never gambled, because my mom actually got shot behind gambling. Yeah,
Speaker 4: she got shot as behind gambling.
Speaker 9: Did she lose or something or she no?
Speaker 4: So she was gambling with someone and I guess apparently
Speaker 4: the people that was there that one of the guys
Speaker 4: owed somebody some money, so they you know, kicked the
Speaker 4: gambling house in and just started shooting.
Speaker 1: But they were trying to shoot him, right, and she.
Speaker 8: Got yes, you said she got shot in the Assasi.
Speaker 1: My mama lived through some crazy Kansas.
Speaker 9: Where your name came from.
Speaker 6: My mama let my sister name me.
Speaker 8: So by the time my mama had me, they had
Speaker 8: been in America for like eight months because my mom
Speaker 8: came to the States pregnant and my sister had a
Speaker 8: Susanne in her class and was like.
Speaker 6: I like this name Suzanna and she was like, all right,
Speaker 6: that's dope. I guess. I guess.
Speaker 8: So it's very Caucasian to be first generation American.
Speaker 6: They went all the way right generation.
Speaker 5: American in my family to my family from the Islands.
Speaker 11: Yeah, your name came from Oh yeah, I was waiting
Speaker 11: on somebody to ask, Okay, well, my name came from
Speaker 11: a street in California and San Francisco named Octavia.
Speaker 9: If you go there you will find it.
Speaker 1: So you go there and be like, yo, this is
Speaker 1: my street.
Speaker 10: Actually have a picture by it. You know, I'm originally
Speaker 10: from California. No, it's just uh, it's just a street
Speaker 10: name Octavia. And there's actually a street name Nactavia Plaza,
Speaker 10: Orleans too. My homegirl from a New Orleans send me
Speaker 10: a picture of my name.
Speaker 9: But it's it's very uh. I think it's Roman, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because it's it's.
Speaker 9: My name on there.
Speaker 10: And my dad had an old Mustang and he couldn't
Speaker 10: you know, in San Francisco they have steep heels, so
Speaker 10: he couldn't get hard to start, and he was trying
Speaker 10: to get up a hill and so he was like, Lord,
Speaker 10: if I name, if I if I get up this
Speaker 10: hill on the name my baby after this street. And that's.
Speaker 1: A crazy story.
Speaker 4: You should go around and let people know that you're
Speaker 4: the street is named after you, so that you know
Speaker 4: you can go to get.
Speaker 1: Some free car to walk around and tell people.
Speaker 4: I want her to go into stores and be like, yo,
Speaker 4: y'all know this street is named after me. And if
Speaker 4: it wasn't for me, y'all business, definitely.
Speaker 5: Take a trip to Octavia here yea here, yeah, in
Speaker 5: San Francisco.
Speaker 1: For the world.
Speaker 10: It's all over you know, the United States and the street,
Speaker 10: Like I said, my homegirl, she's from New Orleans and
Speaker 10: she sent me a picture of my name on the street.
Speaker 10: Like I said, it's it's Romans, so uh, it comes
Speaker 10: from you know, those times like when you go to
Speaker 10: when you go to different places like the DC.
Speaker 1: Princess George, everybody you don't.
Speaker 10: Octavia, you now, women can't be lords.
Speaker 1: But well, everybody's watching this tour.
Speaker 9: That Beyonce is on right now.
Speaker 10: She's officially kicked off in Stockholm, Sweden. Some of the
Speaker 10: clips are flooding social media right now, and all our
Speaker 10: reactions are not giving the greatest reactions. They I guess
Speaker 10: they expect more from Beyonce. They've been waiting. They haven't
Speaker 10: seen any visuals from the Renaissance album. And I guess
Speaker 10: whatever their expectations were, they are.
Speaker 1: No longer in her twenties.
Speaker 6: Got that's not what it is. That's not what it is.
Speaker 10: But some people in the comments are saying they think
Speaker 10: that this may be her last tour.
Speaker 6: The tickets cost a house.
Speaker 8: People want to see magic and sometimes Beyonce does not
Speaker 8: change her dance routines, like that is very real. What
Speaker 8: she will do is bring in something trendy, like for example,
Speaker 8: she showed love to lil Uzi and did the you know,
Speaker 8: did that dance or whatever?
Speaker 6: Yea, yeah, all that.
Speaker 8: But like if we're gonna keep it real, she has
Speaker 8: a pretty consistent show every tour, Like and by consistent,
Speaker 8: I mean you kind of know a dance move she's
Speaker 8: gonna do. You kind of know how the pyro action
Speaker 8: is gonna go. But I think she gives her all
Speaker 8: the time. The clips that I've seen, she's been extremely energetic.
Speaker 10: And not only that, a lot of people are looking
Speaker 10: for some of her old dancers. In the comments I
Speaker 10: was scanning, they're like, oh, we're such and such words.
Speaker 4: Man, if people get new dancers all the time, like
Speaker 4: nobody's gonna some dancers are just like domestic dancers. And
Speaker 4: then you know, you go across season, you get the
Speaker 4: international dances.
Speaker 10: Like you said, she may have picked up some of
Speaker 10: the overseas dancers too, you know, to be you know,
Speaker 10: inclusive or whatever, but not only that, it's the first show.
Speaker 1: And that's what I was getting to ye, I think, you.
Speaker 10: Know, sometimes a lot of things go wrong when when
Speaker 10: you know things kick off, but you know, just give
Speaker 10: it a chance, just let it, let it grow. I'm
Speaker 10: pretty sure you know stuff will start picking up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, relaxed people, because what I learned is that when
Speaker 5: most people go on tour, they always start off with
Speaker 5: small markets so they can perfect the show.
Speaker 1: That's what a lot of people don't understand.
Speaker 4: So when you see people going tour, they always start
Speaker 4: the small markets and later on down the line on
Speaker 4: the tour they go to the big markets.
Speaker 10: And it's Beyonce, you know what I'm saying, She's gonna
Speaker 10: have the best of the best and she I feel
Speaker 10: like it will grow into like something iconic because look
Speaker 10: at us your show. I'm pretty sure the way that
Speaker 10: it is is now was not how it was when
Speaker 10: it first started.
Speaker 1: In Bags.
Speaker 5: People change their show up all the time, and it's
Speaker 5: beyond y'all get to see Beyonce, man.
Speaker 6: Damn they paid for it.
Speaker 8: But though Beyonce has actually been known to like keep
Speaker 8: the same dancers for a very long time, if you
Speaker 8: go back videos, yeah, you'll see the same people over
Speaker 8: and no.
Speaker 1: Shit, they probably got old movie right along.
Speaker 10: Suspect in Young Dolph's murder, Hernandez Govan, has a bond
Speaker 10: set to ninety K. He was charged with first degree
Speaker 10: murder and conspiracy to commit first degree murder.
Speaker 1: Not enough. I mean, I don't think he gonna bond
Speaker 1: out anyways.
Speaker 5: If he does get if he if this guy does
Speaker 5: make bail or post his bill, you know the streets.
Speaker 9: Will you need to find a safe house.
Speaker 6: It ain't safe.
Speaker 1: It ain't safe for him.
Speaker 4: I just don't understand how these guys allegedly get hired
Speaker 4: to commit murder but they can't post their own bill.
Speaker 5: Well, let's just say this, A lot of people commit
Speaker 5: murder and uh never get caught. Uh It's like it's
Speaker 5: a high it's the highest chance you get caught, but
Speaker 5: it's also a chance you don't get caught as well,
Speaker 5: and you get you get paid for it, and then
Speaker 5: street justice happens and then you get killed down the line.
Speaker 5: So we always see like retaliation murders. We don't even
Speaker 5: know what these murders be happening, but it's a retaliation
Speaker 5: from a murder that happened prior to that. So a
Speaker 5: lot of street stuff happens and we don't even know
Speaker 5: because we're not in the streets.
Speaker 8: And they probably don't want to use any of that
Speaker 8: money on bail. Maybe they're in a desperate situation and
Speaker 8: will rather give them money to their family, like they
Speaker 8: may have making the job that money.
Speaker 4: I don't understand how people still commend crimes when there's
Speaker 4: cameras everywhere. We used to just go to Kroger's and
Speaker 4: try to steal some candy and then they'd be like, hey,
Speaker 4: it's a camera watching you right in four Na's.
Speaker 1: Camera at the stoplight.
Speaker 10: Cameras, camera get more advanced because of AI.
Speaker 9: Yeah, artificial intelligence about to change the whole.
Speaker 1: Life is coming. You see what they do in China.
Speaker 4: Well, in China that the video on you walking, they
Speaker 4: have your face, your face recognition, So if you ever
Speaker 4: committed a crime, you're going to get caught the same
Speaker 4: day because there's cameras scanning your face.
Speaker 1: And just in your car. Yeah, and and going to
Speaker 1: be on the new iPhone too.
Speaker 4: Well, listen, they already got they already scanning people's phases.
Speaker 4: And when you go to the airport and go to Delta.
Speaker 4: Because I don't understand that line, then.
Speaker 1: Listen I do it well.
Speaker 10: On b ET they have a new season of College
Speaker 10: Hill featuring Jostling, Hernandez and Tiffany New York Collard.
Speaker 9: And they have clips all online.
Speaker 10: But on this particular clip, Tiffany Pollard is grieving the
Speaker 10: loss of her dog. She referred to her dog as
Speaker 10: her daughter, and Jocelyn just doesn't get it. She thinks
Speaker 10: that she's talking about a human being, and once she
Speaker 10: finds out that she's talking about a dog, she kind.
Speaker 6: Of belittles the situation.
Speaker 10: She's like, I want my hood back. I thought you
Speaker 10: was talking about a human being.
Speaker 1: I don't like that.
Speaker 8: I am a dog lover, and y'all know that through
Speaker 8: and through love all the dogs that I've ever encountered
Speaker 8: in my life. I'm so grateful to have another dog now.
Speaker 8: I just think that Jocelyn is insensitive. I just think
Speaker 8: that if she doesn't feel like something is important to her,
Speaker 8: then it's just not important. She cannot relate to a feeling.
Speaker 8: She's not gonna try. I don't that's messed up. That's
Speaker 8: cold bloody.
Speaker 5: Well, my dad lost his dog named Puffy he had.
Speaker 5: Puffy was allied for fourteen human years, which is time seven.
Speaker 1: I forgot how many years that is.
Speaker 6: It also depends on the breed, the size.
Speaker 5: It's a very and my dad was so sad. I
Speaker 5: had to literally call him check on him, make sure
Speaker 5: he's good. But you know, animals are I think, their
Speaker 5: spirits on this on this planet. And you don't have
Speaker 5: to agree with someone grieving to even you know, to
Speaker 5: be empathetic towards towards that person losing something. You could
Speaker 5: lose something that's not even alive and be upset, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So to lose a pet, you know,
Speaker 5: especially if you're super attachment them. Dogs speak your language, man,
Speaker 5: I don't. I'm not a big cat guy, don't like
Speaker 5: I can't say I like cats, but I like dogs.
Speaker 1: Dogs can read your thoughts.
Speaker 8: In my mind, dogs are the only creatures that love
Speaker 8: you more than they love themselves.
Speaker 5: I agree with that.
Speaker 4: I love I love all types of animals, and people
Speaker 4: got to understand sometimes you will get a personal turtle relationship.
Speaker 1: What a what a dog?
Speaker 4: Because you can come home sad and your dog know
Speaker 4: that you're sad and cheer you up. And it's just
Speaker 4: it's a lot of things that come behind, you know,
Speaker 4: people emotion, and you can't be little in people because
Speaker 4: what if somebody fish died and you know they were
Speaker 4: attached today fish. It is like people have different personal
Speaker 4: relationships with with you know, other people than humans.
Speaker 8: When my chocolate lab asked in transition July first and
Speaker 8: twenty one, literally Rriy and I had our afternoon show
Speaker 8: on the radio together and I could not work.
Speaker 6: I had to umber.
Speaker 1: It happened. We hugged, I hugged. We had for like
Speaker 1: five minutes.
Speaker 8: I couldn't work, I couldn't function like and I knew
Speaker 8: that she was transitioning because it got to the point
Speaker 8: where she needed so many fluids that I had to
Speaker 8: start administering the fluids myself. The vet literally taught me
Speaker 8: how to give her fluids instead of bringing her to
Speaker 8: the vet four or five times a week. They were like,
Speaker 8: you know what, at this point, just keep her comfortable.
Speaker 8: Do it at homes is how you do it. But
Speaker 8: the day that we had to put her down, like
Speaker 8: that's so sad, Oh my god, it was the most
Speaker 8: heartbreaking thing to sit there with her and like try
Speaker 8: to comfort her and you can literally hear her last
Speaker 8: breath and you just.
Speaker 6: That's that's cold blood of Jocelyn. That's cold blooded.
Speaker 9: If you can't, you know, deny an attachment.
Speaker 10: You know a lot of people, what if some you know,
Speaker 10: what if a woman can't have kids and that's all
Speaker 10: they have is their dog or their pets.
Speaker 5: You know, animals do save lives all types of stuff,
Speaker 5: you know, Yeah.
Speaker 1: They sure do.
Speaker 4: I see I see dogs on planes all the time,
Speaker 4: you know, because you can you know, sometimes people have
Speaker 4: those for you know, being dependent.
Speaker 9: Yes, of course, yep, yep.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 9: You can even mistreat a dog and they come right back.
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, they love you like nobody else will.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: New segment alert, it's called keep it a Stack. Would
Speaker 10: you date somebody who is unattractive.
Speaker 8: Unattractive in well way? What are we talking about physically?
Speaker 1: Yeah, unattractive and got his ship together together. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a good better because it's.
Speaker 4: Some attractive people that ain't got their ship together, and
Speaker 4: it's a lot of attractive and it's a lot of
Speaker 4: unattractive people that got their ship together.
Speaker 6: I think that attraction could grow.
Speaker 8: I think you can be cool with somebody, be friends
Speaker 8: with somebody for two, three, four, five years and never
Speaker 8: had been attracted to them in a romantic type of way.
Speaker 8: But then one day, all of a sudden, this person
Speaker 8: does something or you just started to notice a certain quality.
Speaker 6: It's like, no, you might just want to go to lunch.
Speaker 1: And then Hutch just be.
Speaker 6: Like, you know what, so and so is attractive.
Speaker 8: I can see something with this person, like I never

Speaker 1: I don't know if this is for what, but y'all.
Speaker 1: Let me know Kroy Beerman and him Zosiac.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if they housewives is for the money, long man,
Speaker 4: if you a housewife, you there for the money.
Speaker 5: He used to play for the Atlanta Falcons. I don't
Speaker 5: know he played for it after that, but all I
Speaker 5: know is he does. So he got money any longer.
Speaker 5: So he got money.
Speaker 9: Then niggas file for divorce had money.
Speaker 1: And let me just hit you out with a lot
Speaker 1: more facts.
Speaker 10: You know, they were together, they got married, they had
Speaker 10: she had four additional children with him. She previously had
Speaker 10: two and he adopted her kids. And so her kids,
Speaker 10: her two girls have his last name. They have like
Speaker 10: I said, they have four more kids together. Uh they
Speaker 10: you know, he is younger than her, He's he's a
Speaker 10: lot younger than her.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 10: They their house got foreclosed on, like I said, and
Speaker 10: now she's filing for divorce.
Speaker 5: I think that this relationship could have been loved, but
Speaker 5: I think it was a financial decision.
Speaker 1: Damn believen.
Speaker 5: When the pot gets hot, fire is lit, it's a
Speaker 5: whole bunch of shit going on, and she gone, damn
Speaker 5: weapon too, playing bed.
Speaker 8: I think this is tricky because sometimes love just ain't enough,
Speaker 8: Like what you're gonna do. Live in a box like
Speaker 8: Kim likes her lifestyle, the.
Speaker 5: Richard for four Damn there is not abiding by what
Speaker 5: they said.
Speaker 8: I do for But it's not just like the losing
Speaker 8: they or not having a lot of money. Sometimes that
Speaker 8: messes with a person's psyche, right, Like this man might
Speaker 8: not be as confident as he used to be. He
Speaker 8: might not be as present as he used to be.
Speaker 8: He may be in a whole nother space. He might
Speaker 8: be an asshole. He may have turned us emotionally abusive
Speaker 8: because he's not feeling good about himself.
Speaker 6: There's a lot that goes.
Speaker 1: With damn happen. Yeah, the house got let go. That's
Speaker 1: what happened. You said something happened. The money got low, and.
Speaker 8: Maybe maybe he wasn't telling her that he wasn't keeping
Speaker 8: up the mortgage if that was his responsibility.
Speaker 6: And she feels like, damn lied to me, Like I.
Speaker 5: Told you what happened. The money got low and she
Speaker 5: ready to go.
Speaker 1: That's what that's what had money too, though you should
Speaker 1: have helped pay on his bill to keep this.
Speaker 10: And another fact is she quit Housewives on her own show,
Speaker 10: so I don't know.
Speaker 1: Where it was my baby. It's time to get back
Speaker 1: to work, baby, time to get back to work. We
Speaker 1: got to keep this house, we got to keep this
Speaker 1: money going. I'm a little low right now. I need
Speaker 1: you to put in.
Speaker 6: So do you I think she'll go back on the
Speaker 6: Real Housewives.
Speaker 10: Probably she was doing in between times. I don't know
Speaker 10: if she had a Josh Ferrari.
Speaker 1: She did, she was on TV. She got, you know,
Speaker 1: doing that. She quit that, but she was like getting
Speaker 1: booked and stuff for what for? Like who she is?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 1: You know she's doing that.
Speaker 4: She calling that, dude, Andy right now, say I'm ready
Speaker 4: to come back. I got a story to tell you.
Speaker 6: My life is dramatic.
Speaker 1: I got a story to tell you. So for the love.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's for the money.
Speaker 4: If you if you a housewife, you are definitely dude,
Speaker 4: don't say that.
Speaker 1: Be careful.
Speaker 10: But mind you, Kim had a sugar daddy before, did
Speaker 10: big pop up, before she even got married to Croy.
Speaker 1: I don't think what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: If you're on a reality TV show called Housewives, you
Speaker 4: are definitely there for the money. Okay, okay, We'll be
Speaker 4: right back with more of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 1: You're listening to a special edition of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 3: Hey y'all, it's Coco Jones and you're listening to the
Speaker 3: Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 1: Super started the building. We're doing snaps, job.
Speaker 6: Snap for myself.
Speaker 1: Well good.
Speaker 3: Every time I come over here, I feel like, dang,
Speaker 3: my life has changed so much since the last time.
Speaker 3: Like I remember when I was here for my listening
Speaker 3: session before my EP even came out, and everybody was like, Yo,
Speaker 3: this is fired, and I was like, and now I'm like,
Speaker 3: I guess that was right, because uh, you sitting they're
Speaker 3: doing it.
Speaker 8: Atlanta shows you love because I know you hosted a
Speaker 8: party of Rose Bar shout out to Mike Clay and then,
Speaker 8: like you said.
Speaker 6: You're performing strength of a Woman. Baller Alert.
Speaker 8: The last time Ferrari and I spoke to you, we
Speaker 8: had our radio show on the station. But baby, you're
Speaker 8: doing your thing. Ron Hurd told me a story the
Speaker 8: other day about a visit you made a visit to
Speaker 8: Sludy Vegan m HM, and these young fans approached you
Speaker 8: and it made you super emotional. I think you had
Speaker 8: kind of realized that, like, oh my god, people loved me,
Speaker 8: they follow me. This is A real thing is that
Speaker 8: when you felt like Oco Jones is arriving.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 3: I actually had this moment on one of my first
Speaker 3: performances where I was headlining, since I don't know, probably
Speaker 3: like sixteen seventeen. I was at Howard Theater and I
Speaker 3: literally was like choking up when they were singing I
Speaker 3: See You. I just could not I could not believe
Speaker 3: how passionate they were and how they knew every word.
Speaker 3: I was just like, Wow, the last time I even
Speaker 3: felt like this, I was sixteen. It's been so long,
Speaker 3: and I was like, whoa, I'm about to crying the
Speaker 3: club let it out crazy?
Speaker 9: Did you expect you to go viral on TikTok No?
Speaker 5: Because that song was everywhere.
Speaker 3: I never know what's going to do, whatever it's going
Speaker 3: to do. I just try to do what I can
Speaker 3: do and then let the rest.
Speaker 2: Like God control the rest.
Speaker 5: It makes people like Ron's job super easy.
Speaker 1: How did you come up with When I See You? Well?
Speaker 2: I actually had heard the music first.
Speaker 3: I was I was with Camper and he's an amazing producer.
Speaker 3: He was play me a lot of beats and I
Speaker 3: was going there to do something up beat. I was
Speaker 3: like I'm trying to do a five, six, seven and
Speaker 3: eight because also in my performances, I love to do
Speaker 3: choreo and keep it high energy as much as possible.
Speaker 3: And I heard the track that became ICU and I
Speaker 3: tried to just like I was like, oh, okay, that
Speaker 3: was powerful, moving on, moving on, moving on, But I
Speaker 3: couldn't really move on, and so I was like, can
Speaker 3: you go back to that one song?
Speaker 5: And I knew. I was like, we got to write
Speaker 5: to this.
Speaker 3: I just can't hear a music like this that I
Speaker 3: already I already felt the song, I even wrote it,
Speaker 3: so I was like, I can't skip this.
Speaker 1: So you just mad.
Speaker 3: The way that John is going everywhere. No, I didn't
Speaker 3: even say that.
Speaker 1: When John Queeze the remixing, you know, and that's a
Speaker 1: hard song to do, and what he didn't do it
Speaker 1: like you.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, I said, John Quee's remix it's a hit,
Speaker 4: a pause to it.
Speaker 5: Yet I.
Speaker 1: Know you talked about it.
Speaker 6: I said, leave me out of it.
Speaker 1: I'm not even again.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't know what was or wasn't going to
Speaker 3: be a hit. I still don't know what the formula is.
Speaker 3: I just know feeling and from what I've been told,
Speaker 3: like is the feeling that really sticks? You know? When
Speaker 3: I finished that song, we were kind of like celebrating,
Speaker 3: even though it's very emotional song and very raw emotions, we.
Speaker 5: Were kind of like, that was crazy.
Speaker 6: Felt good, it felt right.
Speaker 8: I think, you know it's crazy when for me anyway,
Speaker 8: sometimes I have to listen to a song over and
Speaker 8: over again before I actually really get into it.
Speaker 6: But I see you.
Speaker 8: It was like the first time I heard it, I
Speaker 8: was like, Okay, this is a pop like, let me
Speaker 8: run it back. So it definitely sticks, but why release
Speaker 8: a ballad first off of this new album?
Speaker 3: I think it was well from what my team kind
Speaker 3: of explained to me because I asked the same, I
Speaker 3: was like, guys, please, they're gonna love this and only
Speaker 3: want me to do ICU and then I'm about to
Speaker 3: be like, EMG hij k element only ic you vibes.
Speaker 3: But from what they explained to me, and I'm really
Speaker 3: grateful that I have a team who's been there and
Speaker 3: done that because I don't know. I only know one perspective.
Speaker 3: But they were basically saying like they wanted to showcase
Speaker 3: my vocals, like what sets me apart, and then of
Speaker 3: course I can do these other things that I also do,
Speaker 3: like what I didn't tell you EPs, so many different
Speaker 3: flavors of music, so many different sides of my actual personality.
Speaker 3: But I think it was first like if you're introducing people,
Speaker 3: do you want them to know?
Speaker 2: How do you want them to know you? The voice?
Speaker 10: The more introduced with the voice, it's just like Melanie
Speaker 10: Fiona when It Kills Me came out, it's like whoa,
Speaker 10: you know, with.
Speaker 1: A broth of fresh air, just like this.
Speaker 10: You know, everybody's doing fast records, so we needed that ballot.
Speaker 10: You know, when money Long came with hours and hours,
Speaker 10: people was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: It was always a treating.
Speaker 10: When we get a ballot like that. So I love
Speaker 10: that they put that out first.
Speaker 5: Well, ballot to go like that, It lets you know
Speaker 5: it's a hit. And I wanted to ask you was
Speaker 5: there any type.
Speaker 2: Of a relief.
Speaker 5: Like when people are saying I like her as a singer,
Speaker 5: I like her as an artist and not the actress.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, because you know, it's.
Speaker 1: Kind of difficult.
Speaker 5: It's difficult for people to say you're a musician and
Speaker 5: I like you and believe it, and I believe it.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was such a sigh of relief.
Speaker 3: I've had so many size of relief in the last
Speaker 3: two years, like Wow, okay, this is working. Wooh, I
Speaker 3: have a great team. Woo, have a label who understands me. Whoa,
Speaker 3: I have a hit team. It's just like wow, Yes,
Speaker 3: this is a lot of relief because you're striving for
Speaker 3: these goals and you want them really bad. You live
Speaker 3: and breathe these things, and I could see them for
Speaker 3: myself when my situation did not match. So to finally
Speaker 3: see these pieces come together where it's like I don't
Speaker 3: have to like visualize having a number one EP.
Speaker 2: I saw it, that happened.
Speaker 3: I got screenshot that that's in time, that's in my journey,
Speaker 3: that's in my story. Like it's a relief, and it's
Speaker 3: also like such a grateful, humble feeling too that I'm
Speaker 3: just like thank you God, Like I really couldn't have
Speaker 3: put these pieces together myself, so I'm just happy and
Speaker 3: grateful that it's happening like this.
Speaker 4: Who's somebody that reached out to you recently that you
Speaker 4: was like, wow, I can't believe this person you know
Speaker 4: reached out to me.
Speaker 3: Well, I will say a crazy, crazy experience was when
Speaker 3: I was at the Rock Nation brunch.
Speaker 1: Okay, how was that?
Speaker 5: It was amazing?
Speaker 3: Like how did I get here? And I was waiting
Speaker 3: for of course I was waiting for Beyonce because hello,
Speaker 3: come on, like you know that's the that's the formula
Speaker 3: that's there. Yeah, well I don't know about but me personally, yes,
Speaker 3: everybody waiting.
Speaker 9: Everybody was waiting.
Speaker 3: And low key though. That kind of is how it felt.
Speaker 3: Because when she walked in the room, like it was
Speaker 3: pretty much when the event was over, it was giving
Speaker 3: world stop hearing.
Speaker 5: On very much.
Speaker 3: Just like she said, everyone turned and like the room
Speaker 3: it was like the room went on. It was like
Speaker 3: on tilt and we all like slid towards her. It
Speaker 3: was so crazy to watch because I was by the
Speaker 3: waffles because I was about to get me a waffle
Speaker 3: and leave. I was like, anyway, it's coming up, and
Speaker 3: here's time to go. I've been here since brunch, it's
Speaker 3: dinner time. I haven't eaten because nobody really eats at
Speaker 3: the Rock Nation bruns. I not to go faint, but
Speaker 3: then I just was like, something's happening. I saw Michelle.
Speaker 3: Something's brewing here. And then of course, Beyonce walked in
Speaker 3: and what was crazy is we was all on strategy time.
Speaker 3: My manager was like trying to talk to her bubblicist
Speaker 3: and then trying to talk to me, trying to get
Speaker 3: in front of the crowd because we were all walking
Speaker 3: in there, and then I was trying to get in
Speaker 3: front of the crowd. My homeboy who takes photos of her,
Speaker 3: was looking at me, and I'm looking at him like
Speaker 3: can I go over there?
Speaker 2: My manager's like, it's on you. We can't do it
Speaker 2: over here.
Speaker 3: She passed our area and I'm like, okay, okay, I'm
Speaker 3: about to do like dodgeball trying to get in here.
Speaker 3: And she looked at me and she was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I know you.
Speaker 1: Snap snap snaps. Go ahead, keep going.
Speaker 3: She was like, you'll be singing your ass off. I
Speaker 3: literally felt like frozen in time.
Speaker 1: She's talking to me. I was like, huh.
Speaker 3: I was like, keep it cool, you keep it cool.
Speaker 3: So literally the oscar goes too, cause I was screaming,
Speaker 3: crying and throwing up inside.
Speaker 6: I'm telling it.
Speaker 2: I was like, I.
Speaker 3: Cannot believe that the the goal knows me and actually
Speaker 3: acknowledged me and what I'm doing has seen me and
Speaker 3: she was like, keep doing your thing.
Speaker 5: I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2: I was like, since you said it, I definitely will
Speaker 2: I get up, But.
Speaker 5: Since you said it, I'm gonna keep going.
Speaker 2: It was crazy, that's what.
Speaker 1: You what did you say? Thank you so much?
Speaker 3: And I was like, you know how inspirational you are
Speaker 3: to all of us, so thank you for being who
Speaker 3: you are. And that was that player. And then I
Speaker 3: walked outside and I was giving a little thug tear.
Speaker 1: That's what I was talking about.
Speaker 6: What they would have to put me out, Like get
Speaker 6: this girl out.
Speaker 5: Now? Who is entertaining Coco? Coco in a relationship? L
Speaker 5: O l O L Is that somebody sliding in the dms?
Speaker 5: Do you read dms?
Speaker 3: I do read them sometimes, Yeah, because there be there'll
Speaker 3: be money opportunities in there.
Speaker 2: I got to inquire.
Speaker 3: But I will say right now, I'm really it would
Speaker 3: have to be a really special son of a gun
Speaker 3: to take me away from the actual hyper focused mindset
Speaker 3: that I am on my career right now, because I
Speaker 3: always be saying to myself, if I look back and
Speaker 3: I was distracted and it wasn't for something intentional that
Speaker 3: was going to be worth the time and the investment.
Speaker 3: Then there's nobody to blame but me. So I'll be
Speaker 3: kicknicked and having fun. You know, I gotta find something
Speaker 3: to write songs about.
Speaker 1: Dates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've talked to a bunch of different I've talked
Speaker 3: to a bunch of different career fields. Sometimes there's nothing
Speaker 3: to even do with music. Sometimes it's like business and
Speaker 3: I'm like, low key, I'm like, I don't really enjoy
Speaker 3: having somebody in the same career field because then I
Speaker 3: don't like when we're out at events and stuff like.
Speaker 1: Why are you here?
Speaker 2: But I'm like, oh, you work here.
Speaker 4: You want a regular guy, You're given all the regular guys.
Speaker 2: Driver, you guys, everyone slowed down.
Speaker 1: Everybody pause. But I think he means like maybe someone
Speaker 1: like a doctor. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 3: I would definitely not steer away from somebody who's in
Speaker 3: a different field that's not all glitz and glamor, because
Speaker 3: that stuff is just pretend anyway, and it's really the
Speaker 3: character and the work ethic as well. I want somebody
Speaker 3: who I can respect, you know.
Speaker 2: That's oh yeah, it just gotta it into that category.
Speaker 6: I was just gonna say, your new.
Speaker 3: Song double back, that's of course everybody in the room
Speaker 3: has double backs, have they not? Or are somebody in
Speaker 3: here perfect?
Speaker 1: Everybody? Everybody on the double back for the right person.
Speaker 1: So so who in particular? What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: You are messy dot com?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I just wanted to know. I think
Speaker 1: we're friends right now? Don't friends? Come?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, damn, Now he gonna DM and he gonna
Speaker 1: text her, he gonna text her the no names. How
Speaker 1: did the concept of n come about?
Speaker 3: Basically when I had heard the song, Lendon on the
Speaker 3: track produced it and he was like, Yo, we got
Speaker 3: this fire song and I think you'd be perfect for it,
Speaker 3: And of course I was really inspired, and I just
Speaker 3: thought about what SWB and like rain on me, like
Speaker 3: who would who would I want to feel that way for?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, hell, it's it's definitely a past it's
Speaker 3: a past situation.
Speaker 5: I was thinking, dang, why why is it all with him?
Speaker 3: I was like, hmmm, interesting, But I feel like right now,
Speaker 3: like I said, it would have to be worth the time,
Speaker 3: and nine times out of ten when you go back
Speaker 3: to that situation, the variables are the same, so it's
Speaker 3: going to be the same outcome, and insanity is doing
Speaker 3: the same thing. Over and over again, expecting a different result. Hello,
Speaker 3: So no, thank you right later, maybe when I'm bored.
Speaker 3: If I get bored right now, I'm busy.
Speaker 6: That's the reason I'm find you're gonna get that.
Speaker 4: Trouble because now that that dude she's talking about is
Speaker 4: gonna is gonna text her about that dude when when
Speaker 4: he said speaking.
Speaker 10: You're doing as quick fixed with Terrell, y'all was cooking.
Speaker 10: Have you been practicing because you was not that ain't
Speaker 10: not too much on me?
Speaker 5: Not too much on me, because I do we cooking.
Speaker 5: You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: When I actually have free time, I really do like
Speaker 2: to cook.
Speaker 1: It's fun.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm on Vetty Crocker energy. And then
Speaker 3: I'd be like getting all my ingredients I want to try,
Speaker 3: like a new recipe, something fun, and then.
Speaker 1: I get to eat signature dish.

Speaker 3: something like okay, you know, I feel like that's the
Speaker 3: and when the girls very but please.
Speaker 1: It's easy. What chicken alfredo is like common?
Speaker 3: It's like I don't know why, but it's like a
Speaker 3: very all the girls who be like cooking.
Speaker 8: They like.
Speaker 2: Some alfreido for my man should be.
Speaker 1: Happy as hell.
Speaker 10: I forgot one thing, but they put you on light duty.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they had me doing, but one
Speaker 3: thing about sorell When we're on the teen cocoke. When
Speaker 3: we're cooking on tin cocoa, it's always a terribly, terribly
Speaker 3: difficult rescue. But my mama, I'm gone from the South.
Speaker 3: I'm from Tennessee, so I'm commend them. They know how
Speaker 3: to cook. My grandma cook everything from scratch. So I
Speaker 3: did watch all of that, and I think it's really
Speaker 3: really cool and it's a passion of mine. I want
Speaker 3: to be able to really throw it down. Okay, Like
Speaker 3: that's a different like skill. It's cool, But do I
Speaker 3: have the time to practice right now?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 9: You here one day but not now?
Speaker 8: You want to like cook for your man, like have
Speaker 8: dinner ready for him when when a man comes into
Speaker 8: your life.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm like being realistic with myself.
Speaker 3: I'm like, when would that even be that I'm home
Speaker 3: in enough time to cook dinner before he's home. I mean,
Speaker 3: if I went to the studio, I'm not getting home
Speaker 3: till twelve one too.
Speaker 1: Maybe he needs to be cooking for you, you.
Speaker 3: Can, I could prep and maybe he could be the chef. Yeah,
Speaker 3: or maybe people get home and that's a private chef.
Speaker 6: There it is. It's all good.
Speaker 1: Speaking of men.
Speaker 10: You had your pretend man Jazz and uh you left him.
Speaker 1: On on Red on the on the season finale, man
Speaker 1: taking to take a slip, taking a zip from.
Speaker 5: So good?
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 1: How have you acclimated from beginning to now?
Speaker 3: Well, I've learned a lot about balance, and I've learned
Speaker 3: a lot about commitments. I mean, technically, I signed my
Speaker 3: names with two huge entities music which is Deaf Jam
Speaker 3: and High Standard my joint Venture and NBC Peacock Belair,
Speaker 3: and it's two huge companies and they want the best
Speaker 3: of me, you know. And so I've learned a lot
Speaker 3: about commitments and the things that you agree to. And
Speaker 3: of course everything worth anything is hard and difficult, but that.
Speaker 2: Payoff it be, it'd be worth the heart of the difficult.
Speaker 3: But it's no joke balancing everything because I know how
Speaker 3: important it is to represent Hillary well and how important
Speaker 3: that is for culture and history, and I know how
Speaker 3: important it is for me to introduce myself to the
Speaker 3: world and be as authentic as I can be, so
Speaker 3: people get that Hillary is a character and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: eat that character up. But then also you're gonna know
Speaker 3: the difference between Hillary and Coco.
Speaker 9: And you're doing such a great job and that whole
Speaker 9: the whole cast.
Speaker 8: I love.
Speaker 1: Hey, you're just doing a good job. That congratulations, y'all
Speaker 1: got up picked.
Speaker 9: Up for season three?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, are you excited? Of course? Of course we yes.
Speaker 5: To ask a question because you said a keyword on
Speaker 5: Big Mental Health guy and you set balance because it's
Speaker 5: very difficult, easier said than done. Are there moments where
Speaker 5: it's like a transgression where you're like, man, this is
Speaker 5: too much? Or do you have help with maintaining your schedule?
Speaker 5: How do you maintain both keep a levelhead? Yeah, as
Speaker 5: a family, you know.
Speaker 2: That's a real question.
Speaker 3: I do have help in balancing my schedule and scheduling
Speaker 3: things out. It's so weird to say that I have
Speaker 3: an assistant, but I do have an assistant because I tried.
Speaker 5: To like not do that.
Speaker 3: I was like, ew no, but I was like, now,
Speaker 3: my mental is a little tacking, you know, and there
Speaker 3: are certain things that I just I could do them
Speaker 3: but then I'd be like, well that's less sleep doing
Speaker 3: that one thing that could be done by somebody else,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, what's more important?
Speaker 3: Like sleep so that I can be prepared for being
Speaker 3: on set at five am till five pm and then
Speaker 3: going to the studio till as long as I can take,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So I do have an
Speaker 3: assistant now, and he is amazing, like literally legit. And
Speaker 3: I think also, I'm very big on therapy, and so
Speaker 3: I'll tell my sister, like, this hour blocks her therapy
Speaker 3: and everything has to be scheduled around that, because what
Speaker 3: good is it for me to run it up and
Speaker 3: be mentally? How often do I go to therapy? It
Speaker 3: really just depends on my schedule, but definitely minimum once
Speaker 3: a month, but if things are going crazy, then more
Speaker 3: than once in like maybe twice a month or maybe three.
Speaker 6: Times, however much you need it.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you saying that, Yeah, it's real.
Speaker 3: I mean if you go to the doctor for your health,
Speaker 3: and I feel like therapy is just like the mental do.
Speaker 6: Is bel affected by the writer's strike?
Speaker 3: I mean I think every show is, because every show
Speaker 3: takes writers, and they have to be passionate and they
Speaker 3: have to feel heard.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I feel like every show is and.
Speaker 3: You know, in this industry, it's there's are a lot
Speaker 3: of things that could be better. Me speaking on the
Speaker 3: acting side, colorism and all of those things has been
Speaker 3: such a huge part of my limitations that were not
Speaker 3: placed on me because of me, you know. So I
Speaker 3: feel for everybody in the industry who doesn't feel like
Speaker 3: they're getting what they deserve. And I think it really
Speaker 3: is important to just continue to make opportunities that are
Speaker 3: fair so we can all run it up. There's so
Speaker 3: much money to go around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just want to be cheap. Yeah, I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: they don't want to pay these writers.
Speaker 4: Man, these writers are creating great content and they don't
Speaker 4: want to pay them.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of businesses are, of course always
Speaker 3: trying to pinch pennies, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta pay people when they're valuable.
Speaker 2: What's your dream role Ooh acting?
Speaker 3: I would want to do like a really fire action movie,
Speaker 3: Like I really loved Charlie's Angels. Oh yeah, I thought
Speaker 3: that was so far like they were all bad and
Speaker 3: like they was actually like killing it, So I would
Speaker 3: want to do something like that. I think I would
Speaker 3: also want to do like a really powerful drama, like
Speaker 3: I don't know of a really good example, but just
Speaker 3: something that really sets me apart as like, oh she
Speaker 3: really liked that, you know, yes, like something really powerful
Speaker 3: that just put some respect on my acting.
Speaker 2: Man would take I would.
Speaker 3: Take an oscar and honestly it begins eventually, I would.
Speaker 3: I would definitely welcome that because I've also done Broadway before.
Speaker 1: What do you like more music? Or music?
Speaker 5: Dot com music?
Speaker 8: Why?
Speaker 6: Why is it so serious?
Speaker 3: Singing is what I've been doing my entire life, Even
Speaker 3: when I was a baby. I was humming all the time.
Speaker 3: It's in all my baby videos. It's so weird to see.
Speaker 3: And I think when I started singing, I wanted more,
Speaker 3: more opportunities to entertain, more, more feelings that felt like performing.
Speaker 3: And my mom, who was you know, my team before
Speaker 3: my team, she was like, you want to audition for
Speaker 3: this Brocoli commercial? And I was like perfect. I just
Speaker 3: wanted more opportunities to feel how singing made me feel.
Speaker 3: So I know I wouldn't have started acting if I
Speaker 3: never started saying.
Speaker 10: So you like you said, you've been in the industry since,
Speaker 10: you know, for a minute, what are some of the
Speaker 10: things that you've learned thus far?
Speaker 2: So many lessons.
Speaker 3: I think the lesson that I am trying to continue
Speaker 3: to learn right now is that, like, it's business and
Speaker 3: things aren't personal all the time, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 3: I want to be able to differentiate what is what,
Speaker 3: and especially when things get more cracking, there's a lot
Speaker 3: there's a lot more going on, so there's less time
Speaker 3: to process things, you.
Speaker 2: Know, smoking mirrors and yeah, I want to learn that more.
Speaker 3: But I think with anything, persistence has been the biggest lesson.
Speaker 3: A lot of this stuff just happened because I didn't
Speaker 3: give up, you know, and everything kind of fell in
Speaker 3: the same timing. But if there would have been no timing,
Speaker 3: if I just gave up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So I really want to push that message out too.
Speaker 3: When people watch my interviews, I always try to talk
Speaker 3: about how long my journey was, in the highs and
Speaker 3: the lows, and the points where I was like I'm
Speaker 3: done here. I literally don't have it in me to
Speaker 3: fight this battle anymore. But something would always keep me here,
Speaker 3: and I know it was God, of course, an opportunity,
Speaker 3: but it's really just not giving up.
Speaker 1: How long did it take? Do you feel like?
Speaker 3: I feel like if it was up to me, I
Speaker 3: moved to LA when I was seventeen, and I had
Speaker 3: my first like big moment of stardom when I was fourteen.
Speaker 2: And I'm twenty.
Speaker 3: Five, so ten years to me, you're still so young.
Speaker 3: I mean, I started as a fetus. But if we're
Speaker 3: going back to but if we're starting at nine, then
Speaker 3: a hell a long time.
Speaker 1: That's almost I did that math question.
Speaker 5: You're easily the second tallest person in the room, shot Ron.
Speaker 5: Ron's actually the tallest person in the room. I know
Speaker 5: was an athlete? How was that growing up with a
Speaker 5: professional athlete in the household? Did you was sports or
Speaker 5: ever idea for you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: I thought basketball was gonna be my way to the top,
Speaker 3: But my dad was he was retired by the time
Speaker 3: that we were like all old enough. But he had
Speaker 3: so much passion and so much joy that came from
Speaker 3: his time in the league that he just was They
Speaker 3: were so passionate about whatever we wanted to do, just
Speaker 3: because he got to live his dream, live like a
Speaker 3: one percenter's life, So how is he gonna have such
Speaker 3: amazing stories of his glory days and then be like,
Speaker 3: you can't sing. That's not realistic. You know, it just
Speaker 3: didn't make any sense. So they were really supportive. But
Speaker 3: they also instilled a really intense work ethic in us
Speaker 3: because they both came from My mom came from entrepreneur background,
Speaker 3: and my dad came from athletics, so that combination is crazy.
Speaker 3: We would be out in summer doing drills and I'm like, now, now,
Speaker 3: what is this for? Because what are we doing here?
Speaker 3: Even when I stopped playing basketball and started singing, I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm still out here.
Speaker 5: I'm still doing summer camp.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, sure, But you know, I remember like there
Speaker 3: was this one time where I was about to perform.
Speaker 3: I think I was thirteen, and I don't know what
Speaker 3: my dad had said, but it made me start getting
Speaker 3: on the elliptical every day.
Speaker 5: At five am.
Speaker 3: And I was like thirteen, and I thought there was
Speaker 3: like why did I do that? It was just so
Speaker 3: random and wild, But they just exactly I wanted to
Speaker 3: be so prepared, and they taught me a lot about
Speaker 3: tenacity that I mean, about everything that they are the
Speaker 3: reason that I am like I am, you know, and.
Speaker 9: It's serving you now.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 10: You got the EP out, Uh, you got bat Layer out?
Speaker 10: What's next?
Speaker 1: What else you got? Well?
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to be on tour this summer.
Speaker 3: I mean my EP has blown me away with the
Speaker 3: amount of love that it's gotten.
Speaker 2: I mean ever since I've been even in Atlanta today,
Speaker 2: I didn't hurt my song on the radio.
Speaker 5: Y I'm playing with me.
Speaker 2: It's so so oh time man.
Speaker 5: So I want to tour.
Speaker 3: I want to go to all of d cities that
Speaker 3: are showing me love and give them back that energy.
Speaker 5: You know. I'm really excited to get more fans too.
Speaker 10: What I didn't tell you is the EP Coco Jones.
Speaker 10: We're so proud of you, man, the evolution. We watch
Speaker 10: and come back anytime.
Speaker 5: Man, we always we will be right back.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned with more of the ball or Alert show message.
Speaker 5: My son and my husband are not seeing eye the eyes.
Speaker 5: My son is dating this girl and she isn't the
Speaker 5: best female for our son. My husband, his dad is
Speaker 5: way more vocal about it than I am about it,
Speaker 5: and it's very rude towards the young lady. I love
Speaker 5: my son and he's clearly happy with this young lady.
Speaker 5: How do I get his dad on board?
Speaker 4: First of all, you gotta tell Daddy stay out there,
Speaker 4: stay out there little boy business, let him figure it out.
Speaker 1: Give him some advice.
Speaker 4: If you feel like that young lady is not a
Speaker 4: good fit, express how you feel. But you can't take
Speaker 4: it out on a young lady. So I think you
Speaker 4: should sit down and tell your husband, let him fit
Speaker 4: figure it out. If he needs some advice, then come
Speaker 4: to you believe that little girl alone.
Speaker 8: I think it's a little tricky when you have kids involved,
Speaker 8: but you gotta make sure that you take your personal
Speaker 8: feelings out of the picture and really kind of focus
Speaker 8: on like why do you feel like this person isn't
Speaker 8: good for the kid? Like what actually is Is it
Speaker 8: because she's not exactly like you? Or like, first of all,
Speaker 8: figure out why you feel that way, identify all those reasons,
Speaker 8: and then have like a grown woman conversation with him.
Speaker 5: You know what Dad realized when that little shouder came
Speaker 5: over to the house. He smelled the fatness on the
Speaker 5: little showders that came over with his son.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's something that man can do. We can smell it.
Speaker 5: She came by with his son, and he smelled some
Speaker 5: bullshit in the house, and he just trying to keep
Speaker 5: it a stack.
Speaker 1: If we can put out a little you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
Speaker 5: He keeping it the stack with his son, because that's
Speaker 5: what a dad is going to do to his son anyway,
Speaker 5: A bro that ain't the one. So what you're trying
Speaker 5: to say, he smelt the thought in her? Damn mom
Speaker 5: is just trying to say, you know what, just let
Speaker 5: him bump his head.
Speaker 1: So a hole if he's happy, cool that over here?
Speaker 5: Like, hey, she looked like she's a little thought.
Speaker 9: Seen this before.
Speaker 1: You've seen this before. She's a hole.
Speaker 8: Maybe maybe I hadn't hear the baller mail, right, Okay,
Speaker 8: so maybe usually.
Speaker 5: Rib me from wrong, Ladies, when you meet the parents,
Speaker 5: you own best behavior. You're trying to set an example of,
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm the right person for your child.
Speaker 5: And if you ain't setting the right example, guess what
Speaker 5: he gonna do.
Speaker 6: Sniff it out.
Speaker 5: This one right here, she fucking and sucking and doing
Speaker 5: a whole bunch of bullshit, about to.
Speaker 1: Turn my baby out.
Speaker 8: Hey, you don't think the dad wants the son having sex?
Speaker 8: I see that that father's encouraged her.
Speaker 1: But if we talk about seriousnesship in a situation.
Speaker 6: And I don't think that that's the no, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think that you can't be mean to the
Speaker 4: girl though coming over, you can't be mean. You can't
Speaker 4: be mean because at the end of the days. But listen,
Speaker 4: this is our parents fall out. As this our parents
Speaker 4: fall out.
Speaker 8: Dad is triggered. She probably reminds him of a girl.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Gotta let your son. Yes, that's what mama says.
Speaker 4: If Literari meets meets a young lady at some point
Speaker 4: and it's like, no, give me the exact and you
Speaker 4: are mean to his girlfriend, he gonna be.
Speaker 1: Like Dad, Listen, guys, I'm ready already give me that
Speaker 1: poll pool. Don't don't raise in my hand.
Speaker 5: I'm the ignorant parent. I don't fuck they don't put
Speaker 5: me in none of this. Don't set me as an example.
Speaker 5: I'm very ignorant.
Speaker 10: And you better hope the little girl ain't smart because
Speaker 10: she could get you.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 1: Oh, you want to be rude to me, Well I
Speaker 1: got something for that ass.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm gonna turn your son on you punk, turn
Speaker 5: his ass out. She probably show up pregnant.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see no spite for woman, show
Speaker 1: what show up? Oh shit?
Speaker 10: Or give them something irreversible though, all right, that was
Speaker 10: baller mail. Before we get out of here, we got
Speaker 10: a pep talk with Coco Jones.
Speaker 3: Hey, y'all, it's Coco Jones. And if you do know
Speaker 3: my journey, you know how long it's been. If you
Speaker 3: don't know my journey, it's been a lot of time.
Speaker 5: Come me.
Speaker 3: But I would say my motivation for you guys is
Speaker 3: whatever you're pursuing, find out your why, because in the
Speaker 3: highs and the lows, that's gonna be what keeps you
Speaker 3: from giving up.
Speaker 2: Why are you doing this?
Speaker 3: And if this is you know for you, then find
Speaker 3: that truth that can you know, live inside of you
Speaker 3: and cannot be changed by outside circumstances. Because the highs
Speaker 3: they're gonna bring new energies, they're gonna bring new opinions.
Speaker 3: The lows they're gonna bring some bring the real friends out.
Speaker 3: So find your why and stick to that. And even
Speaker 3: if it takes time, that doesn't mean it's not working.
Speaker 3: It just means it's taking time.
