<v Speaker 1>this season really like her teachers in certain ways, and

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I want parents to be aware of that. We teachers

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>put in a lot of work. They call us every

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.119
<v Speaker 1>day complaining and stuff, and this is a really stressful

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.119
<v Speaker 1>being a teacher, especially during the time of year. So

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>like this. Thank you so much, Charlomagne for spreading at

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that positivity in regards to mental health, making it something

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to discuss because for a very long time people did

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>not discuss mental health, especially within our comunity, and just

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>just talking about it has made me more aware of

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the things that I need to focus on when it

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>comes to my mental health as well. So last she

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>has a first year teacher, I was very unaware and

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>very um just stressed out. And this year, being more

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>aware of this mental health crisis and how it's how

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm affected has helped me become a better teacher, just

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>even for my students and just about a person for myself.

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So I just don't even want to thank you, Charlomagne

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>for always speaking all mental health, escaut people opportunity. That's love,

<v Speaker 1>from Jacksonville? What's up? Broke it off your chests? Man?

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, I worked at this restaurant and I got

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>promoted four months ago and they still haven't given me

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a raid, and I'll just feel like I'm being you.

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>So they promoted you, but they didn't give you more money.

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>They didn't give me more money. I got more, I

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 1>got no money and more problems. Did you guys discuss

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>what the salary would be? Yep, they discussed it, but

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess they kept it for themselves. Yeah, that's not

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a promotion, sir. Yeah, there was no ladder of money.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>There's no promotion. But did have you emailed them and

0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>follow it up and been like, hey, can you let

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>me know? And I can't expect to get this extra money? Yep?

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I followed up with him, but they treat me like

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.199
<v Speaker 1>a little oh back a mile round time to get

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer. Yeah that's what that's what my job telling

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>me to do. I'm about to tell him to take

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a job and shove it up the lawyer. Why would

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you take the position without the promotion and play first?

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.199
<v Speaker 1>Because I was so excited about it. That's a problem

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>with That's the problem with us sometimes just too happy

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to have some Did they say have nothing at all?

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Did they say they were gonna give you extra money

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>or they just said they were giving you a promotion.

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>They told me they were giving me extra money, extra

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>seven thousand dollars, but I never got the money at all.

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>The thing that's being raised, it's my blood Prussia. Lord,

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>have mercy. I want to tell you. Yeah, we'll go

<v Speaker 1>she's back. Yes, she was just telling us how to

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>disarm people with jolly ranchers. That's right, La. You know

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the last time I was here, I remember somebody pulling

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 1>out their penis. What yeah, I wasn't here. I'm sorry

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>you weren't here. There was a white guy here and

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>he pulled his penis out. It was great, tea, it

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>was that was pre me Two times up Movement. I'm

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>sure he won't be doing well. I'm here to press charges. Well.

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Elvis Durrand Studio was right, that's where he works. I

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>actually have video of him out. Is it true that

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you have a crush on Robert Mueller. Yes, I like him,

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I like anybody. I come from a father who doesn't

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 1>didn't pay attention to any rules or ethics or standards

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>or morals. So I look at someone like Robert Muller

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 1>and I'm turned on by that, not to marry, but

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>just to have fun with for a couple of hours.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>But in your book, you did talk about messing with

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 1>guys who were a lot younger than you, and you

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>actually ended up feeling bad when they got fired from

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.559
<v Speaker 1>their jobs. And yeah, I've had a lot like I

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>like older men, just typically speaking, because I have my

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>daddy issues. I like guys that are older. But once

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>i'm you know, now I'm in my forties, so guys

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>are getting old, and so I have to lower the margin.

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And when I try and hook up with young guys,

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a disaster because they're they're not mature. They don't

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>have any money, and that's cute for a little bit,

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.839
<v Speaker 1>but not for longer. Than a month. And so I've

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>gotten into some situations where I've had people fired for

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>having sex with me at a resort that they work at.

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I've had a lot of bad luck in that department.

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just going to stay away from anybody under

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.119
<v Speaker 1>thirty because they get confused or a beauty of relationships

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>is what that person doesn't have. You may have so

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.839
<v Speaker 1>you have the maturity in the money, and they got

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 1>the young firm penis. Yes, but at twenty eight years old,

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I really don't want to deal with somebody like unless

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>they're mature and an adult just for sex. At this point, like,

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I've had enough sex in my life. So now I

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>just have to go into the area of a real

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.719
<v Speaker 1>relationship with a real person and be honest about the

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that I want to be in a relationship, because

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.199
<v Speaker 1>I think for so long, with me especially, I was

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.079
<v Speaker 1>pretending I didn't want to be in a relationship to

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>be tough and be independent and fierce, And after enough therapy,

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I realized, yes, it's okay to say you want to

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>be in a relationship. That doesn't mean you're needy. Yeah.

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>So the kid at the result that got fired, did

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you send them a little money, like, here's a severance package. Well,

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>that's also a problem I have is I give away

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money to people once they do get

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>fired because I feel badly and I uh and I

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>need to stop doing that. They know the risk, yes,

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>they do know the risk, but I have I feel. Oh,

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>they got lost their job. They shouldn't have been converting

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>around with me, and I want to ameliorate the situation.

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.719
<v Speaker 1>So I'll give somebody. You know, I talk about it

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>in my book. I'm not proud of it, but I

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>have done it a couple of times. Given somebody like

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty grands to just knock contact me again, wow, or

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty go away. You lost your job, here's money for

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the next five years of what you would have made

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>or whatever a year. Not there, Well, they're all guys visiting,

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.319
<v Speaker 1>but usually takes place somewhere in the ball you know

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 1>what ski town in a ski toowl sometime in the

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>negotiates their own settlements. No, yeah, exactly, I have to go.

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like an NDA, but with no someone signing. I

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.079
<v Speaker 1>don't paper and the Behamas they're not an open ended NDA,

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>so it's the worst kind. They're not even allowed to

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 1>gamble in the casinos in the Bahamas, and then they

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>are not allowed to go to your rooms your room either. No, no,

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.719
<v Speaker 1>well they are allowed to come to my room, but

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>for a very short amount of time and then it's over.

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's the problem. You like black guys, I do.

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I like white guys too, though I'm not just one thing.

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't like one person. No, I'm not into that

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Asian guy that's still on my bucket list. Okay, why

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you've got Chinese in your blood? Yes, I And are

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you attracted to Asian man? My mom told me every

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>dated Chinese guy because of my dad. I guess, good advice.

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>But you also have a documentary about white privilege that

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you're working, So I did this book. I kind of

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>had a mental breakdown when Trump was elected, and I

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of rage that I needed to harness

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and make it into something positive because I was in

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a state of reaction and I wanted to be in

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a state of action instead of bitching and moaning about him.

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be able to do something about it.

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was just like a spoiled brat like so

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>many people. I didn't think this could happen in our country,

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and I was naive and I was an elitist. I

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>am an elitist. I've tried very hard to become one.

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>And so I had to really have a wake up

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>call and like dig deep and go to a psychiatrist

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to bitch about Donald Trump. And I was perfectly happy

0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>doing that and paying somebody to listen to me talk

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>about him. I would have paid double. And after that,

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, what kind of work do I

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>really want to do? Do I want to you know?

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Do I want to be on a talk show? Do

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to do documentaries? Do I want to? And

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 1>my experience in therapy just made me realize this is

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>important stuff. If I'm going to overshare and make a

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 1>career out of oversharing, I may as well overshare the

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>important stuff. So what he broke down for me was

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>what Donald Trumps represents to me and to so many people,

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>which is instability and destabilization. A right. We got more

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 1>with Chelsea Haler when we come back, Don't Move is

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>to breakfast Club. Good morning, good break first club pulling

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Chalomagne the guy. We

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Chelsea

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Handler Chalomagne. Now you mit having a late night show

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>every night? No, yeah, no, I don't like all of

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the I don't like the responsibility that comes with it.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Too many people. It was fun for a while for sure.

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Too many people on staff. Too many times you have

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to you have to spend your day watching yourself, and

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 1>that's not how I want to spend my day. I

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like it would be different for you, not because

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of all the politics and stuff that you talk about,

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Like you talk about social issues, like you'd have more

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. Yeah. No, I just don't like being

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>tied to a like I don't like to be I

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 1>think I outgrew being stuck in a studio. I don't

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>want to be in the same place every single day.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I like to be like on a trip and figuring,

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, and like and filming it. Like when I

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>did Ayahuasca in Peru. I got to film that for Netflix, right,

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>they let me go all over the world and film stuff.

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd much prefer to do that kind of stuff where

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you're talking to real people then and then sitting in

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 1>a studio. It's just not like now you just mentioned Peruda.

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>When you did that documentary, you will own a drug ayahuasca.

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Now why did you try that? You don't know what

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Ayawaska thought. You were talking about a place I've never

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>been to. Maybe it's a white person's drug. Maybe it's

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>a white person. There's a plant. It's intense, it makes

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you vomit and you defecate. First of all, why would

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you want to do that? Because there are things I'll

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>do on television that I will never do in my room. Okay,

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>go ahead. So I will do that to educate and

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>experience anything experiential where I'm going to be caught off guard.

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I like. So I did not defecate. My shaman, however,

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>did in his pants the entire ceremony. So the only

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>thing I smelled was feculence the entire time I was tripping.

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>But your trip is crazy. You have like a fast

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.120
<v Speaker 1>forward of like it's like an iPod shuffle of childhood

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>memories and you're not in your body, you're watching you

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>like So for me, it was my sister and me

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 1>on the beach, running down the beach, playing with our dogs,

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>being on the kayaks, flipping each other over, laughing hysterically,

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and I saw it all play out before me, like

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't in my body really, and so everyone has

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that experience where you see yourself outside of yourself. So

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty it was pretty awesome. I mean it

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>changed my relationship with my sister for sure. It was

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>just about me being told that my sister is, you know,

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>not like me. Don't judge her. Be kinder to her,

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to be sweeter to her. So yeah, so it's a plant.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.120
<v Speaker 1>You smoke it or you do a shower. They brew it, sorry,

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>they brew it into a tea and you'd take a

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 1>shot of it and then you hallucinate for like five hours.

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah no, probably not, but probably actually you probably get

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it all facebooks. You can. Just there are people who

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>do it all over like upstate New York. I'm sure

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 1>people are doing ayahuasca treats. You need a shaman and

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.679
<v Speaker 1>like someone who leads the ceremony and somebody who knows

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing. But yeah, it's popular. But people get

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>sober off of ayahuasca. They go in and if they

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.199
<v Speaker 1>have addiction issues or depression issues, it's all basically like now,

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 1>microdocing is the thing that everyone's doing. So, um, you know,

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>microdocing psilocybin from mushrooms, which helps people daily. I took

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>some mushrooms the other day when I was skiing, like microdose.

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, you take like a little mushroom head and

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.680
<v Speaker 1>it just makes everything sharper, everything up, like you're just alert.

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 1>And it's from the ground. So everyone who wants to

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>argue about like natural homeopathic things that are from the ground,

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that just also happened to make you hallucinate, um joyce rooms. Yeah,

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 1>who does healing? Does that help with your healing? I can,

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't part of mine. I mean to be in

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a good mood when you take them, because if not,

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a bad experience. You have to set your tone

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 1>always when you take drugs. I think you have to go, okay,

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be a fun time. The drugs

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that I had some for you. I always want I

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>have got some nice organic something. Okay, Well, next time

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 1>you'll know, you'll know. We should do a whole interview

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on shrooms and just I would love that. Everybody needs

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to be on shrooms. That is the best. Let's do it. Yeah,

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you will laugh your ass off. I definitely next time

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.920
<v Speaker 1>when I take shrooms. That's my cheeks. My cheeks and

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 1>my apps are always every day after I take shrims,

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.879
<v Speaker 1>it's the best. You just laugh your ass off and

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.640
<v Speaker 1>everything that everyone says is hysterical. So it is fun

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>for radio. But we should do You should start the

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 1>show sober and take them at the beginning so that

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 1>you can get through half of it and then just decomposedly.

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.120
<v Speaker 1>What got Shrewan's on the going to therapy would be well,

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't shrewm shrem but you can take like microdose

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and go to therapy. People like that, and they do

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>ketamine therapy too. You know ketamine that horse tranquilizer. My

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:33.800

<v Speaker 1>special guest in the building, Ryan Leslie. Welcome sir back again.

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen you in a while. Man, in a minute,

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually looking forward to talking to you today because

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I follow a great Instagram page. It's a guy named

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Artemis Gordon. I think he's a guy. I don't know

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 1>really what what are he goes? But he had a

0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of posts about you that were very interesting he did,

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 1>but they were in a good way. He was talking

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>about he was talking about how talented you are, you know, um,

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 1>But he was talking about some of the reasons maybe

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.679
<v Speaker 1>why your career might have been stifled. Oh, yes, all right,

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 1>we could talk about that. But what was the reason

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 1>he said his career might have been stifled? Oh do

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you've been blackballed or blacklisted? Nah? Okay,

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy where I am right now, streaming, happy where

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I am right now. And uh, I think that I've

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.959
<v Speaker 1>made very strategic and specific choices to end up exactly

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 1>where I am right now. Because let's let's start. What

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>happened with the music career? You You had a bunch

0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:59.959
<v Speaker 1>of singles, you were out and about you will promote.

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.239
<v Speaker 1>Didn't you know? You were in the clubs, you were

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 1>pushing your records, and then it just totally just stopped. Yeah,

0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and did you go a new route? Did you decide

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you didn't want to go that far into music? What happened?

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>So in twenty thirteen, I decided to take all my

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>music off streaming service. We haven't actually talked about a

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of this since I've been here last, so, I mean, listen,

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>so much actually happened. I mean, I was, I was

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 1>on to cover the New York Post. I lost a lawsuit,

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>my laptop of me, everybody anybody who ever talks to me,

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh what happened to your laptop? Etc? Right, So, I

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 1>mean there was a lot that happened around that time.

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.920
<v Speaker 1>And for me, I've always been a technologist, kind of

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a technologist and or futurist. And so I noticed in

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirteen that I had amassed a following of like

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a million plus on social media, and I felt as though, look,

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, social media is really just an advertising platform.

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a way for people to actually monetize me, monetize

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:56.880
<v Speaker 1>my audience. And I felt like, living in a land

0:27:56.920 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 1>of technology now and innovation and entrepreneurship, I should actually

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 1>have a direct contact with all my fans consumer correct, Right,

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 1>So I gave my number out. So I give my

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 1>number out twenty thirteen, the first crazy person to do that.

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving my number, But you gave you a real

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:14.360
<v Speaker 1>number out. Yeah, I gave my real number out, and actually, yeah,

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the real og Right, So I thought, look in twenty thirteen.

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Was beautiful about twenty thirteen versus when Mike Jones gave

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:22.880
<v Speaker 1>his number out is that I could actually put real

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:26.480
<v Speaker 1>technology behind it and have a smart way to actually

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>manage all the inbound requests so like right now, anybody

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:31.920
<v Speaker 1>can leave their number at text Ryan dot com, my

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 1>direct phone number will text them back. So I decided, like, look,

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see what I could do if I

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>could have people text me if they wanted my album.

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So then that way, anybody that wasn't interested, they could

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, listen to whatever else that was on streaming services.

0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>But anybody wanted to text me and wanted my album,

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>they could text me to get it. And so that's

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:51.880
<v Speaker 1>how I basically built a technology company around direct to

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:56.200
<v Speaker 1>consumer selling, etc. And if you really if you look

0:28:56.240 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>at at Nipsey Hustle's mailbox money, he also employed the

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 1>same kind of strategies and tactics. So he decided he

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>was going to sell his second mixtape four thousand of

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>those right, and he did it on my platform. So

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>really the beauty was that everyone thought that I just disappeared,

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>but in reality I was able to actually just connect

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:19.680
<v Speaker 1>with the people who really cared about my music and

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>they paid me directly. I didn't have to wait for

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>streaming services, et cetera. Everything was just direct and so

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I can now tour based on just who I know,

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 1>every single person that actually bought my record Wow. But

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:33.760
<v Speaker 1>some people thought it was a concerted effort to get

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Leslie out of the music industry. Like one of

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the rumors was Kanye thought you would threatened, he encouraged

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you to wrap and not saying so this is this

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is from Artemis. Yes, yeah, okay, the real site. Yes,

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a great it's a great page to file. But

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 1>is that any truth to that that he encouraged you

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to did? He did? He did didn't courage me to

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 1>wrap on. And I mean listen, I anyone who's ever

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>stopped me and said, hey, look I love this collaboration

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you did with with Kanye was Christian Geordentum Flow and

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, he was like, Yo, you should just go

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>ahead and wrap. I was like, oh, this is this

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 1>is what I feel like doing, you know, So I

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>made it. I made a couple of actually three four albums.

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 1>And they say that they think that alienated your core

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>fan base. M I mean, it's it's it's possible. I mean,

0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:33.479
<v Speaker 1>we got a tenure anniversary show that's happening in New

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 1>York City and the response to that has been great

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 1>because I said specifically that was celebrating the first two albums,

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:41.720
<v Speaker 1>first two albums with R and B album second, second

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:46.240
<v Speaker 1>of which was Grammy nominated. And I think once again,

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I made a concerted decision that, Okay, this is how

0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 1>far I believed I could actually make an impact in music,

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and then this is how far I believe I can

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 1>make an impact from being a technologist being an entrepreneur.

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Numbers wise, just give us an example of what you

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>were making when your albums were the regular on streaming

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 1>services and being distributed that way, versus numbers that you

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 1>can make when you are doing it your way. Yeah.

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>So when you look at the numbers, though, I only

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>sold one hundred and eighty thousand records my first or

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the first album, first album only one hundred eighty thousand,

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that's not even scratching gold. Right, So one hundred and

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 1>eighty thousand records the first one, the second album, critically acclaimed,

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Grammy nominated, sixty thousand records. Gold is five hundred thousand

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>platinums a million, right, I was at sixty thousand records

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 1>my second album. Yeah, I have a core fan base.

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>People loved it, the settle. You also had a record

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that was on radio top ten record. Yeah, And I wondered,

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:42.720
<v Speaker 1>did you really had a machine behind you for top

0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty record in that was huge in New York addiction

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.880
<v Speaker 1>those two records. Yes, but really, once again, everybody knew

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>your name, everybody knew who you were, and I think

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone knew who I was based on the fact that

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I had a record with Cassie. Cassie was really the

0:31:57.520 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 1>big record that was top ten and eight countries, you

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, massive, massive record for me, and

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 1>so people knew that I wrote and produced that entire album.

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.120
<v Speaker 1>So in the music industry, when you have a producer

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that writes to produced one hundred percent album and one

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>of those records goes all the way, then people are

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 1>definitely gonna know your name because they want to collaborate

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 1>anybody to etc. And I think that really, I think

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Cassie was really the precursor and the foreshadowing that the

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Internet was going to change the way that music was

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 1>discovered and distributed Cassi. Cassie was a MySpace artist, so

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>we put her music on MySpace. We you know, myself

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and my partner Rashid Richmond came up with a Google

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 1>hack so everyone who searched MySpace the keyword would end

0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:44.239
<v Speaker 1>up on her MySpace music profile, and she went from

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 1>zero to six hundred fifty thousand friends in three months.

0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 1>What we realized though, is that MySpace just disappeared and

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have phone numbers on all those people. So

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 1>if six hundred and fifty thousand friends, she also was

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the first artist in history to have a one to

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 1>one correlation between social following. Is sales six hundred and

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand albums sold in six hundred fifty thousand. Wow,

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that never had Yeah, that definitely don't happen now these

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 1>people having sixteen millions, that would be that would be

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>great if they had on one to one. So um,

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:17.479
<v Speaker 1>I think getting back to the numbers, if you think

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 1>about royalties on records, right, and I had a pretty

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>standard record contract, which like a twenty percent, which actually

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>is pretty Uh, that's actually a nice record twenty percent, right,

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent if you even if it was ten dollars

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a record was one hundred and eighty thousand records, that's

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 1>one point eight million, twenty percent of that you could

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>do the mask it's like three three hundred thousand, right,

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 1>and then yeah, and basically you take some taxes out

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of that, like and they had already given me an

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 1>advance you made. I made no money on those records, right,

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And it was great because obviously I have publishing. I

0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:53.720
<v Speaker 1>wrote and produced everything, so our moneys that. Yeah. But

0:33:53.840 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 1>in terms of record royalties, there's a couple hundred thousand, right,

0:33:57.400 --> 0:34:00.360
<v Speaker 1>So when I actually sold my record directly, no man,

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I sold my tickets directly, no middleman. Fifteen thousand records

0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 1>times ten dollars. That's one hundred and fifty thousand, and

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 1>went straight into my pocket. And then the beauty of

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:11.399
<v Speaker 1>actually knowing every single person who bought my record means

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:13.239
<v Speaker 1>that when I went on tour, I can send a

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 1>text to them, I mean your city, right, I mean

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 1>your city. Nobody goes to concerts alone. And also concert

0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:22.360
<v Speaker 1>tickets cost four times as much as the album. So

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>my concert ticket for my show is forty dollars. So

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>forty dollars times forty thousand tickets that we sold in Europe,

0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that's one point six million dollars. I mean, the math

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:34.760
<v Speaker 1>is totally crazy. And I don't need to go platinum.

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't need five hundred thousand people. I don't I

0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 1>need forty thousand people. All right, we got more with

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Leslie when we come back as the Breakfast Club.

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ md Angela yee, Charlomagne

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 1>the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We have Royan

0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Leslie in the building. Yee. What about bundling? Did you

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.800
<v Speaker 1>do merchandise? Like I mean, did you do like album

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 1>bundling and merchandising and all of that along with it? Yeah? Yeah,

0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.919
<v Speaker 1>And the beauty is once you actually have someone text,

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, said hey, I'm interested in merch then you

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 1>automatically can target them to give them anytime you have

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:07.399
<v Speaker 1>a merch drop, and your conversion is gonna be higher.

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.240
<v Speaker 1>But really, you know up to that Louis c Ki

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and Kevin Hart, Oh yes, yeah, first was trying to

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>was getting back hot. You get everybody's email in the audience. Yeah,

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:18.799
<v Speaker 1>but he just built his base, built his base. Yeah.

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 1>So the problem with all those people because I seem

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:22.920
<v Speaker 1>like everybody followed you, like, you know, I've seen UH

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:25.439
<v Speaker 1>rappers giving out their numbers. I've seen did he giving

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:27.560
<v Speaker 1>out their numbers? Was it your platform? Or they would

0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:29.640
<v Speaker 1>create their own platform and kind of followed Jill way

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of doing it. Yeah. So we got a huge number

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of artists and honestly, like I said, I was just

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:37.680
<v Speaker 1>talking to Craig calling from Atlantic. Uh, they made an

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:41.280
<v Speaker 1>investment in my platform, and so you know, Meg the Stallion,

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Miley Cyrus join the Lucas. A lot of folks decided like, hey,

0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 1>what Ryan is doing is the right way to go,

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and it can't be just email. Email conversion rates are low,

0:35:52.000 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it got to be text. So me personally, I love

0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to see that kind of validation. And so that's why

0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it's surprised for somebody to be always Bryan getting blackballed,

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:02.480
<v Speaker 1>as I think people are. Actually it's kind of the

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.759
<v Speaker 1>innovator's dilemma when you're first, people gonna look at it

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 1>sideways right once they see that it's working and they

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:11.320
<v Speaker 1>say wow. And actually this happened with Puff even in

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the MySpace time, like when we did what we did

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:16.920
<v Speaker 1>with MySpace and Cassie. I remember having that me with

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 1>him and him saying like, look, what do I need

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to do to actually be on this social media wave right?

0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And so we helped him with his MySpace profile. He

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.600
<v Speaker 1>became the fastest growing MySpace profile and history of MySpace.

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.720
<v Speaker 1>So I think that for me to have one hundred

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 1>thousand phone numbers, I got one hundred thousand people on

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:36.279
<v Speaker 1>text right now, there will be an artist that comes

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 1>after me, and my numbers are available. So anybody that's

0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 1>interested in following this pathway and going the same direction,

0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for somebody that's going to get to a

0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>million or two million or five million numbers, right, because

0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>why should Instagram and Facebook and Snapchat have all the

0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:55.800
<v Speaker 1>fun right patent so it be your thing so nobody

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 1>else can do that, or you didn't even think about

0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:00.440
<v Speaker 1>it all now. I mean it's it's almost like can

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 1>sprint patent cell phone service? Right? You need the competitors

0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to make sure everybody's honest, and you need the competitors

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:10.719
<v Speaker 1>to actually make sure that your technology and your platform

0:37:11.280 --> 0:37:13.240
<v Speaker 1>is the best that it can beat. And the platform

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 1>is called Superphone. What I've done with Superphone is just

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 1>made it completely flexible. Whatever you can dream you could build.

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you decide that you want to, you know,

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:25.680
<v Speaker 1>run Superphone for your floral business, I'm like, like I said,

0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it's for business in general. Look, what we're doing is

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>we're really just giving people the ability to be in

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:38.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone's most important real estate, which is the text feed

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 1>on your phone. And to this point, there hasn't been

0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:43.560
<v Speaker 1>inbox management for text. That's why we don't give our

0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:45.239
<v Speaker 1>cell phone number. It's like, yo, I can't have people

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:47.719
<v Speaker 1>texting me. It's like I can't manage it. Now I

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 1>can where it's like one of those things where the

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:53.480
<v Speaker 1>people get upset that you're texting them so much. Like

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I give you my number and I might want this

0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 1>one album. Don't text me no more, Ryan, But now

0:37:57.960 --> 0:37:59.799
<v Speaker 1>you got my information and you can text me as

0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>many terms as you would, or you can opt out.

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure. Yeah. We make it really easy to opt out.

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:06.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean to standard you text backstop or unsubscribe, you

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 1>never talk to me again. The question, though, is do

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you actually want to not have a direct line in

0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 1>communication to me? Because I'm helping whoever I can, right,

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and so I say this all the time. Look, send

0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:19.759
<v Speaker 1>me a text. What is it that you need to

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:23.600
<v Speaker 1>actually make it? Do you need context? Do you need advice?

0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you need strategy? Do you need investment? Send me

0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>a text. The crazy thing is most of us have

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:31.560
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of people in our phone that we don't text.

0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:34.000
<v Speaker 1>We're scared to ask for help. And what I found

0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:37.799
<v Speaker 1>is that giving people a platform so that they can

0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:41.360
<v Speaker 1>be helped. So and that's why the venture capital community

0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 1>they understand this concept of just like yo, somebody comes

0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:47.479
<v Speaker 1>to you with a great idea, help that person. Okay,

0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:49.239
<v Speaker 1>because you don't have the idea. You got the money,

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 1>but help that person because that's going to turn into

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:56.360
<v Speaker 1>uber Like, I don't like to turn people away at

0:38:56.440 --> 0:38:57.840
<v Speaker 1>least want to explore it and see what it is,

0:38:57.880 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 1>because you never know who's gonna be that next person.

0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:01.960
<v Speaker 1>What if they started asking you for like refrigerators and

0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:04.800
<v Speaker 1>they rent paid and stuff like I've had that before.

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 1>He let meet the fridge. They they say fridge, but

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 1>they say, hey, look can you you know, can you

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 1>pay off my student loans? Yeah? For sure? Have you

0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:17.880
<v Speaker 1>done it? For sure? Now, in certain cases, I have

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:21.360
<v Speaker 1>made donations or I've covered you know, whatever it is.

0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I made investments, I made introductions. But just like you said,

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:27.239
<v Speaker 1>it all comes down to the ask. And so if

0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:30.880
<v Speaker 1>paying someone's student loans is aligned with what I am

0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:34.399
<v Speaker 1>looking to achieve or game, maybe I want that person

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:36.719
<v Speaker 1>to come work for me at super phone. And they

0:39:36.880 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>they're like, hey, look I can't you know, I can't

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 1>move to New York unless my my student loans are

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>paid but I'm one of the greatest you know, computer

0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:46.279
<v Speaker 1>developers you've ever met. Yeah, pay off the student loans.

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Everybody hitting you today. Also, there's a lot of people

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>who don't have followed through. That's let's let's go back

0:39:54.000 --> 0:39:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to Artemis Gordon Page. Let's go back. Artemis said, the

0:39:57.000 --> 0:39:59.960
<v Speaker 1>love triangle between you, Diddy and Cassie ruin your momentum.

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that did it ruined my momentum? Well,

0:40:03.520 --> 0:40:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean in terms of what in music music industry now,

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it. I think it actually was

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:11.279
<v Speaker 1>great for my momentum. I mean some of the best

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:14.399
<v Speaker 1>songs that I ever wrote had to do with that breakup. Really,

0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the story behind Diamond Girl was we were working on

0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Cassie's second album and because of whatever was going on

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:22.800
<v Speaker 1>personally in her life, she didn't show up at the

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:24.800
<v Speaker 1>studio that day. I had that beat ready to go.

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 1>She did showed up at the studio, I recorded Diamond Girl.

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So I think that from a music standpoint, the greatest

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:34.799
<v Speaker 1>music is always born out of whatever you're going through.

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 1>It be said that did he possibly could have ruined

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Fassi's career, because if you were the guy behind that sound,

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 1>if you were the guy behind her success, him getting

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.400
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of that and being with her, you know,

0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:51.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of distance y'all. Once again, I say, look, your

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 1>life is the aggregate of the choices you make. It

0:40:55.520 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 1>had to change you in post relationship though, I really like,

0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I think my relationship with Puff really had to do

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:02.880
<v Speaker 1>with music, and so as I've been more in technology,

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of people's relationship the dynamic has changed

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:10.319
<v Speaker 1>because they're like, Yo, Ryan, you know, bring that beat

0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 1>packet on. I don't have a beat pack for you,

0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. But but I think my

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:18.600
<v Speaker 1>relationship with Puff or Kanye or anybody else changed because

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:23.320
<v Speaker 1>they were interested in their music creation relationship. And for me,

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I have a technology platform that I'm running right whatever with.

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:30.279
<v Speaker 1>With that case, um, I don't she sued you for

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a million dollars? A couple of million dollars? Was that ever?

0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever pay that lady back? Or did what

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:36.160
<v Speaker 1>happened with that? It was a guy, Actually it was

0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a guy. Yeah, yeah, So it was a guy and

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:39.719
<v Speaker 1>we came to a settlement on it because it was

0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:42.840
<v Speaker 1>just dragging out. I had a just on principle, like

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a shell of a laptop. There's no way that anyone

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:49.480
<v Speaker 1>could rationally believe that that's worth a million dollars. So,

0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:52.160
<v Speaker 1>just off principle, I was fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, That's

0:41:52.200 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 1>why it went all the way to the courts. That's

0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:56.360
<v Speaker 1>why he had to sue it. Say why did I

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:59.879
<v Speaker 1>even say that? Nah? Nah, listen, I stand by every

0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:01.799
<v Speaker 1>thing that I said now, and and to be real,

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:05.480
<v Speaker 1>let's just say that the laptop came back with Watch

0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the Throne records on it. It came back with you know,

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 1>four more Ryan Leslie, R and B albums on it

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:17.360
<v Speaker 1>right on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I was

0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:19.560
<v Speaker 1>there for all those sessions. I actually came off tour

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:21.839
<v Speaker 1>to go do that actual to do to do those

0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:25.400
<v Speaker 1>studio sessions, and um, you know I didn't have multi tracks.

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Who's gonna put out a record with no multi tracks?

0:42:28.680 --> 0:42:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Those multi tracks were on the laptop. So I said, look,

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:33.920
<v Speaker 1>if I made six million dollars off of just the

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:38.240
<v Speaker 1>actual Cassie record, one record, right, and that was Cassie,

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:41.280
<v Speaker 1>She's an unknown artist. And I got four more Ryan Leslie,

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.440
<v Speaker 1>R and B albums, and I got Kanye and jay

0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Z records for Watch the Throne. It's definitely worth a

0:42:47.640 --> 0:42:50.080
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. I'm gonna put that milli up. And even

0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.359
<v Speaker 1>if we have to create some sort of agreement where

0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they get paid off of the publishing in the future,

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:56.640
<v Speaker 1>which is actually how we ended up doing the settlement.

0:42:56.680 --> 0:42:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I said, look, here, just take one of some portion

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:02.319
<v Speaker 1>of my old out log and just chill over there

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:04.919
<v Speaker 1>and stop coming after me for all types of other money.

0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Take this is all. You're fine with that because they realize, hey,

0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:11.040
<v Speaker 1>look the catalog is actually still generating money. I'm fine

0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:12.839
<v Speaker 1>with that as a revenue stream. If he doesn't want

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to give me a lump song because I didn't want

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to give him the lumps of those records, make to

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:18.160
<v Speaker 1>watch the thrown album no oh, because of the laptop

0:43:18.160 --> 0:43:20.560
<v Speaker 1>gets through. Yeah, all right, we got more with Ryan Leslie.

0:43:20.600 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 1>When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, yee, Charlomagne the guy. We

0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:30.319
<v Speaker 1>all the Breakfast Club. We have Royan Leslie in the building. Yee.

0:43:30.520 --> 0:43:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Now let's talk about this anniversary show, yea. And what's

0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:35.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be happening. The ten year anniversary show is

0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:37.960
<v Speaker 1>happening on the eighteen, Yeah, December eighteen, so give us

0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:41.160
<v Speaker 1>some type of insight, some spoilers. What's going to happen?

0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Are there's some surprises? Nah, it really, it's just really,

0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 1>this is just gonna be an intimate night. I did

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the entire show once again over text. You couldn't get it.

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't get through those doors unless you sent me

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:53.839
<v Speaker 1>a text and said, hey, Ryan, I love you your

0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 1>new albums. These are the songs I want to hear.

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 1>This is how many tickets I want to reserve. So

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I know everybody who was even interested in coming. I

0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:02.680
<v Speaker 1>know how many people who are interested in coming that

0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 1>actually bought tickets. Every single ticket holder, I have their

0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 1>direct cell phone number. They could text me, they could

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 1>tell me and like the show, or they did like

0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the show. If they need special accommodations, I remember, yeah,

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:16.800
<v Speaker 1>we have all that happening, right. So that's really what

0:44:16.920 --> 0:44:19.799
<v Speaker 1>it's about. It's just about like, look, music, I feel

0:44:19.840 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 1>like um in many ways, if you're gonna do a

0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:25.480
<v Speaker 1>show to be a spectacle, then you do a show

0:44:25.520 --> 0:44:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to be a spectacle, which means like hey, let's do

0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the make go, let's do the costumes, let's do the dance,

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:31.799
<v Speaker 1>and let's do the choreography. Let's do the pyro, let's

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.240
<v Speaker 1>do the screens, Let's do the set changes, et cetera.

0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:36.839
<v Speaker 1>And at the same time, you know, when I look

0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:40.120
<v Speaker 1>at my favorite favorite favorite performances of all time, like

0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:43.400
<v Speaker 1>a Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley, there were no set changes,

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the costume changes. It really was just about the music.

0:44:46.080 --> 0:44:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's what it's gonna be on the eighteens. It's

0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:50.600
<v Speaker 1>just me, the supporters that have been with me for

0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:54.400
<v Speaker 1>more than ten years, and and just the music. How

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 1>are you doing the albums and the songs in order

0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:59.839
<v Speaker 1>from the first two albums are now It's pretty free

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.000
<v Speaker 1>for them, It's pretty free form. I'm gonna just come

0:45:02.040 --> 0:45:04.680
<v Speaker 1>out there. We started on the keys and then we're

0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:07.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go wherever, wherever the night takes us. You know,

0:45:07.040 --> 0:45:09.040
<v Speaker 1>it'll be two and a half hours. People can leave

0:45:09.080 --> 0:45:10.839
<v Speaker 1>if they want, but yeah, we're gonna have a good time.

0:45:10.880 --> 0:45:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Any special appearances, Cassie gonna pop out. I mean, I

0:45:15.200 --> 0:45:17.400
<v Speaker 1>think Cassie right now has to be really focused on

0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:19.719
<v Speaker 1>being a brand new mother, you know. So I mean,

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I shout out a text, you know what

0:45:21.239 --> 0:45:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean? But listen, I missed a text. Yeah, I

0:45:26.160 --> 0:45:31.719
<v Speaker 1>text everybody immediately know what I mean. So she was like, Hey,

0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be in la Oh were you How did

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you feel when her and did he broke up? How

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:40.840
<v Speaker 1>did that up with somebody else? I didn't really feel anything.

0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really feel any no light pettiness like how

0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>you how you get him as how you lose them? Nah,

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really feel anything, you know what I mean.

0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:50.480
<v Speaker 1>And also I would say a lot of people who

0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:53.840
<v Speaker 1>are close to me, they say like, look, Ryan's very rational.

0:45:53.840 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>So person it's about like, you know, I want to

0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:58.160
<v Speaker 1>always make sure that I have as much mental space

0:45:58.280 --> 0:46:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to be a visionary as possible. So as long as

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I let some kind of pettiness creep into my mental space.

0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:07.520
<v Speaker 1>There's always a cost of everything. So there's a cost

0:46:07.560 --> 0:46:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of time. There's a cost of space. You know, if

0:46:10.040 --> 0:46:12.239
<v Speaker 1>you if you have a house and you got a

0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:14.640
<v Speaker 1>nice words, yeah, the cost of world. So you have

0:46:14.719 --> 0:46:16.279
<v Speaker 1>a house, you got a nice living room, and you

0:46:16.360 --> 0:46:17.880
<v Speaker 1>decide like, hey, I want to put this, you know,

0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:20.839
<v Speaker 1>massive sculpture in the middle. There's a cost of that space.

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:22.839
<v Speaker 1>So I think of my mind in the same way.

0:46:23.040 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to put some massive sculpture of pettiness

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:27.160
<v Speaker 1>or anything in there. I want to have as much

0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:29.440
<v Speaker 1>clear space so I could be the visionary that I

0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 1>really want to be. I think also it's important for

0:46:31.800 --> 0:46:35.839
<v Speaker 1>young people of color. Right there's so much wealth that's

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:39.200
<v Speaker 1>being created right now in technology, So yes, I think

0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it's great. We're seeing a lot of young people who

0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:44.280
<v Speaker 1>are actually you know, getting it on the music side,

0:46:44.600 --> 0:46:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and then on the flip side. Um, you know, there's

0:46:47.560 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>an incredible pathway that I think people should definitely consider.

0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Learn how to speak the language of the future, which

0:46:53.400 --> 0:46:54.960
<v Speaker 1>is learned how to code. I had to teach myself

0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:58.239
<v Speaker 1>how to code in twenty thirteen. Learn that language and

0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 1>to the point where it becomes second nature, becomes a nate.

0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:04.040
<v Speaker 1>If you grew up in a bilingual house, it's not

0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:06.960
<v Speaker 1>hard for you to speak two languages, right, And so

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:10.239
<v Speaker 1>for the world that we're living in now, when you

0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:12.800
<v Speaker 1>look at the value that's been created in Amazon and

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:15.920
<v Speaker 1>later on in Uber and Facebook and Instagram, WhatsApp had

0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:18.560
<v Speaker 1>nineteen employees, got sold for nineteen billion. That's a billion

0:47:18.600 --> 0:47:23.960
<v Speaker 1>dollars per employee. That's a simple chat app. Be creative,

0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:26.759
<v Speaker 1>be visionary, and learn the tools that it's going to

0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:30.040
<v Speaker 1>take to take your idea to the level you want

0:47:30.040 --> 0:47:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to take it. And I'm saying that right now in

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:36.920
<v Speaker 1>technology is only about three percent minorities. I ain't know that,

0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I'm saying. Those numbers are staggering, and

0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:43.919
<v Speaker 1>so we are who I mean, listen. And so that's

0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:46.680
<v Speaker 1>that's really why I was like, look, I'll wrap about it,

0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll sing about it, I'll write about it, I'll do

0:47:48.680 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 1>music about it, I do technology about it. Because even

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:53.840
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not the you know, at the Grammys and

0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:57.400
<v Speaker 1>at the Oscars, etc. But someone like Arnaments discovers what

0:47:57.520 --> 0:47:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing and says, you know what, I could replicate

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.839
<v Speaker 1>that it only takes one person to be Michael Jackson,

0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:05.120
<v Speaker 1>only takes one person be Jimmy Hendricks, only takes one

0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:07.480
<v Speaker 1>person to be Steve Jobs. But when we look at

0:48:07.520 --> 0:48:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the actual technologists that I made it and made that

0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:13.080
<v Speaker 1>type of impact, they need to look like us. When

0:48:13.080 --> 0:48:14.760
<v Speaker 1>you think about this picture, when you see that picture,

0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:18.520
<v Speaker 1>what what was that pure that's you and Kanye and

0:48:18.600 --> 0:48:21.640
<v Speaker 1>it's Drake in the middle. What was that picture? Do

0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you remember that picture? Well? I remember this picture. This

0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:28.640
<v Speaker 1>picture was was my birthday and that's when we did. Uh,

0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:31.200
<v Speaker 1>We did a bunch of records together. We did started up.

0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 1>That was the time when Kanye was just saying that

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Lloyd Banks one of the greatest, you know lyricists, right,

0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:39.640
<v Speaker 1>So we did started up with Banks, We did Christian Dior,

0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Dinham Flow. We did a bunch of records around that time.

0:48:43.040 --> 0:48:46.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not exactly sure what the Drake oh, because

0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:52.440
<v Speaker 1>they said that Drake's emergence added to your career being stifled. Hmmm, Well,

0:48:52.440 --> 0:48:54.799
<v Speaker 1>I would say, like I have a I got a clip. Uh.

0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I used to do a lot of work out of

0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Chunking studios, and I have a clip of Drake who

0:48:59.000 --> 0:49:01.719
<v Speaker 1>actually came to the student Yeo at that time. And

0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:05.000
<v Speaker 1>actually Drake, I think, said something on Instagram the other

0:49:05.200 --> 0:49:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the other day or a couple of weeks ago that

0:49:07.040 --> 0:49:09.400
<v Speaker 1>he used to listen to my music a lite and

0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:12.360
<v Speaker 1>on one of his first mixtapes he said something you

0:49:12.400 --> 0:49:14.719
<v Speaker 1>could be my next selection, like r Les or something

0:49:14.800 --> 0:49:17.960
<v Speaker 1>like that. So, I mean, listen, somebody had to inspire

0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson to do the Moonwalk. And so for whatever

0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I've done, whatever contributions I've made to Cassie, Puffy, Drake,

0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Kanye and hopefully to the Steve Jobs of the future.

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Those are the ways that I think my life is

0:49:30.440 --> 0:49:34.200
<v Speaker 1>actually going to be measured. Is how generous was I

0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:37.040
<v Speaker 1>with my creativity, How generous was I with my craft,

0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:40.120
<v Speaker 1>How generous was I with my resources, my contacts. And

0:49:40.239 --> 0:49:42.879
<v Speaker 1>so I feel like I've been blessed. I've made great

0:49:42.960 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 1>decisions from an investment standpoint in terms of time and

0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:49.160
<v Speaker 1>also in terms of just the stock market, et cetera.

0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Like me being that early in technology, I knew in

0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:54.840
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine put your money in Google, Apple, Amazon,

0:49:55.280 --> 0:49:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you know Starbucks well, and then I sold Starbucks to

0:49:57.920 --> 0:50:01.120
<v Speaker 1>get into Facebook, and more recently, you know, being in

0:50:01.200 --> 0:50:04.400
<v Speaker 1>those conversations in Silicon Valley. Somebody told me in twenty thirteen, hey,

0:50:04.480 --> 0:50:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you should, you should get on the cryptocurrency way, And

0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I would have never known about it unless I was

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:11.759
<v Speaker 1>in the conversation. But I would have never been in

0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:16.360
<v Speaker 1>those conversations unless I had the openness to change the conversations.

0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I was in music industry in so many aspects as

0:50:20.480 --> 0:50:23.759
<v Speaker 1>a crab mentality, because they feel like there's such scarcity.

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Once you can get from a place of scarcity and

0:50:27.719 --> 0:50:29.799
<v Speaker 1>get to a place of abundance where people like, look,

0:50:30.280 --> 0:50:33.520
<v Speaker 1>there's so much value that's going to be created in cryptocurrency,

0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:36.759
<v Speaker 1>you should get in there. Yeah, there's so much value

0:50:36.800 --> 0:50:38.640
<v Speaker 1>that's being created in the stock market, you should get

0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:40.080
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of people do things and try to

0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 1>be really secretive about it and don't want other people

0:50:42.120 --> 0:50:43.719
<v Speaker 1>to know about it and feel like I'm going to

0:50:43.760 --> 0:50:45.279
<v Speaker 1>do it. I don't want anybody else to take this

0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:48.560
<v Speaker 1>from me or still this when really transparency. Fully, that's

0:50:48.560 --> 0:50:50.000
<v Speaker 1>why I feel like a lot of stuff that happened

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to you in the music industry is more of an

0:50:51.480 --> 0:50:53.920
<v Speaker 1>indictment of other people's insecurity than it is of you.

0:50:55.560 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 1>That's the case, and at least you sleep well at

0:50:58.719 --> 0:51:02.719
<v Speaker 1>night knowing, Oh man, I sleep great all three hours. Well,

0:51:02.760 --> 0:51:07.920

<v Speaker 1>the culture. I really am doing it for the culture.

0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:20.359
<v Speaker 1>And it's great to be talking about a ten year

0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:23.960
<v Speaker 1>anniversary show. Uh that thing sold out over text and

0:51:24.080 --> 0:51:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just just yet another example of the

0:51:27.800 --> 0:51:31.040
<v Speaker 1>power of this communication protocol and how underutilized it is.

0:51:31.400 --> 0:51:33.480
<v Speaker 1>And so for the lucky people that actually will be

0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:35.440
<v Speaker 1>in the building, we're gonna have a great show. And

<v Speaker 1>are donkey today does not discriminate. I might not have

0:51:54.560 --> 0:51:56.239
<v Speaker 1>the song of today, but I got the donkey there.

0:51:56.640 --> 0:51:58.040
<v Speaker 1>So if you ever feel I need to be a

0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:03.759
<v Speaker 1>donkey man, hit it with the deeples. I've been called

0:52:03.800 --> 0:52:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of my twenty three years. That dunkey of

0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:08.319
<v Speaker 1>the day is a new wife. Okay, well, don't key.

0:52:08.360 --> 0:52:10.000
<v Speaker 1>The day goes to a fifty year old man in

0:52:10.080 --> 0:52:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Detroit whose name has not been released, but he went

0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the wall with a cockroach and the cockroach one. Let

0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:17.839
<v Speaker 1>me tell you something. If you've ever tried to kill

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a cockroach, you understand the struggle. Okay. I grew up

0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:22.000
<v Speaker 1>in a single wide trailer on a dirt road, and

0:52:22.040 --> 0:52:23.800
<v Speaker 1>mosskr of South Carolina drop on a clothes box and

0:52:23.840 --> 0:52:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Moss Carna damn. Okay. On that dirt road, the cockroaches

0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:32.839
<v Speaker 1>were indisruptible wings. We're gonna get there. We're gonna get there.

0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to one that. I'm talking to one man.

0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to ones. You may grab a shoe and

0:52:39.320 --> 0:52:41.600
<v Speaker 1>hit a cockroach with all your might, and it'll run

0:52:41.719 --> 0:52:44.360
<v Speaker 1>through that hit like Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott

0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:46.800
<v Speaker 1>runs through linebackers. Okay, See, when you hit that cockroach,

0:52:46.960 --> 0:52:49.239
<v Speaker 1>you have to hit it with something hard and heavy,

0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:51.040
<v Speaker 1>because if you try to use like a flip flop

0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:54.279
<v Speaker 1>or a balled up newspaper or magazine, that cockroach will

0:52:54.320 --> 0:52:57.040
<v Speaker 1>not be phased. In fact, you may take that cockroach

0:52:57.239 --> 0:52:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and and and just make them mad. And when cockroaches

0:52:59.600 --> 0:53:03.000
<v Speaker 1>getting mad, as Angel Lee just said, they fly. Oh yes,

0:53:03.080 --> 0:53:05.920
<v Speaker 1>cockroaches fly. It's a superpower you don't even realize they have,

0:53:06.280 --> 0:53:08.480
<v Speaker 1>just like Captain Marvel. Okay, one minute, your mind in

0:53:08.560 --> 0:53:11.000
<v Speaker 1>your business trying to murder a cockroach. Next minute it's

0:53:11.000 --> 0:53:13.239
<v Speaker 1>a full on aerial attack. And the only thing you

0:53:13.280 --> 0:53:15.480
<v Speaker 1>can do is spray a whole scene with red, which

0:53:15.520 --> 0:53:18.400
<v Speaker 1>could potentially end up killing you and the cockroach. All right,

0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:23.600
<v Speaker 1>cockroaches bite as well. Oh it's not a comma, Yes

0:53:23.680 --> 0:53:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I do. It's not a cock hor fight of cockroaches.

0:53:26.920 --> 0:53:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie. Listen, it's not a common thing,

0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:32.280
<v Speaker 1>but they this is the thing of a small cockroach.

0:53:32.600 --> 0:53:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It's roaches, and then it's cockroaches. Okay, I didn't know that.

0:53:36.239 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Don't think a cockroach bite can't happen to you, because

0:53:38.760 --> 0:53:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot of us out there believe we're

0:53:40.200 --> 0:53:41.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna win the powerball. So if you believe that, you

0:53:41.840 --> 0:53:43.839
<v Speaker 1>are one of the one in two hundred and ninety

0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:45.520
<v Speaker 1>two million people that can win the Powerball, and please

0:53:45.560 --> 0:53:47.799
<v Speaker 1>believe you can get bit by cockroach. All right. I'm

0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:50.799
<v Speaker 1>just trying to paint the picture of how dangerous cockroaches are.

0:53:50.840 --> 0:53:52.279
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm glad to see the fear in your

0:53:52.280 --> 0:53:57.160
<v Speaker 1>eye this morning. Angel disgusting. Oh, it's a struggle, and

0:53:57.239 --> 0:53:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the main reasons the only cockroach we

0:53:59.040 --> 0:54:01.719
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge is steal the Bok's best friend. All right, you

0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:03.400
<v Speaker 1>don't get the reference, do your googles. I don't have

0:54:03.480 --> 0:54:05.480
<v Speaker 1>time to explain now this fifty year old man and

0:54:05.560 --> 0:54:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Detroit went to war with a cockroach. And I'm telling you,

0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:10.480
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know what you're doing when you're battling

0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:12.600
<v Speaker 1>these cockroaches. Then you can end up in the same

0:54:12.680 --> 0:54:15.360
<v Speaker 1>situation this poor man found himself. And when going to

0:54:15.440 --> 0:54:18.439
<v Speaker 1>war with a cockroach, you have to think murder death.

0:54:18.800 --> 0:54:22.120
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be Michael Jordan Kobe, not Lebron meaning you

0:54:22.239 --> 0:54:24.920
<v Speaker 1>have to have chiller instinct. It's killer, be killed when

0:54:25.000 --> 0:54:28.160
<v Speaker 1>battling cockroaches. If you shoot, you better not miss, or

0:54:28.239 --> 0:54:30.440
<v Speaker 1>that's your ass. And that's exactly what happened to this

0:54:30.520 --> 0:54:33.840
<v Speaker 1>brother in Detroit. He's fifty years old, he's in a wheelchair,

0:54:34.120 --> 0:54:37.560
<v Speaker 1>mind in his business. Cockroach jumps out and this man

0:54:38.280 --> 0:54:41.280
<v Speaker 1>fifty but moving like a rookie, threw a shoe across

0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:45.279
<v Speaker 1>the room after cockroach. Let me tell you never, let

0:54:45.320 --> 0:54:46.719
<v Speaker 1>me tell you why this is a bad idea. Man.

0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:48.600
<v Speaker 1>When you go to war with a cockroach, you gotta

0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:51.160
<v Speaker 1>pull up, all right, dude, got the wheelchair, You're supposed

0:54:51.200 --> 0:54:53.399
<v Speaker 1>to pull up on the cockroach literally, and you gotta

0:54:53.440 --> 0:54:56.600
<v Speaker 1>get close up on them and wham applied pressure with

0:54:56.840 --> 0:55:00.640
<v Speaker 1>something heavy and hard, and don't pull that heavy, hard

0:55:00.719 --> 0:55:04.120
<v Speaker 1>thing off the cockroach until you hear a crunch. Okay,

0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:07.439
<v Speaker 1>when you hear that crunch, then you remove the heavy

0:55:07.520 --> 0:55:10.160
<v Speaker 1>heart object and you see the guts oozing out of

0:55:10.160 --> 0:55:14.279
<v Speaker 1>the car. Play dead, you think it's dead. Okay, I

0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:17.000
<v Speaker 1>got it, And then listen for the crunch where to go.

0:55:17.120 --> 0:55:19.680
<v Speaker 1>When you listen for the crunch, you pull that thing off.

0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You see the guts oozing out, You know you've won.

0:55:22.600 --> 0:55:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Now when you throw a shoe across the room, you

0:55:24.880 --> 0:55:27.480
<v Speaker 1>give a cockroach time to think. Okay, the cockroaches like,

0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:29.839
<v Speaker 1>do I take flight on his ass, I run for cover,

0:55:30.080 --> 0:55:32.000
<v Speaker 1>come back with a couple of the homies, invite him

0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:34.680
<v Speaker 1>in his sleep. Or this cockroach they're just gonna really

0:55:34.719 --> 0:55:38.400
<v Speaker 1>scare you. This cockroach did something I've never seen before. Okay. Clearly,

0:55:38.440 --> 0:55:40.480
<v Speaker 1>cockro just have evolved and they are ready to go

0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:43.839
<v Speaker 1>to war with raid orcan and any shoe a boot

0:55:43.960 --> 0:55:46.239
<v Speaker 1>that has ever posed a threat to their existence. Okay,

0:55:46.280 --> 0:55:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Because when this man threw his shoe at the cockroach,

0:55:48.560 --> 0:55:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what he got back. What a bullet? What the

0:55:53.560 --> 0:55:57.920
<v Speaker 1>cockroach shot him? The cockroach shot him. Cockroaches can't shoot

0:55:58.000 --> 0:56:01.239
<v Speaker 1>You heard me, boy? All right? The man threw a

0:56:01.320 --> 0:56:04.480
<v Speaker 1>shoe at the cockroach and ended up getting shot. Now,

0:56:04.520 --> 0:56:07.160
<v Speaker 1>there was nobody else in the house but this man.

0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:08.920
<v Speaker 1>In the cockroach, the man threw a shoe at the

0:56:08.960 --> 0:56:11.960
<v Speaker 1>cockroach and then he got shot with a revolver. Okay,

0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:14.640
<v Speaker 1>if it was a single hammer revolver, then you now

0:56:14.800 --> 0:56:17.520
<v Speaker 1>know why they call it a cock roach. Okay, because

0:56:17.520 --> 0:56:20.040
<v Speaker 1>it has to have that hammer cocked to be fired. Now.

0:56:20.520 --> 0:56:23.560
<v Speaker 1>W d IBTV is reporting that this man threw his

0:56:23.600 --> 0:56:25.840
<v Speaker 1>shoe at the roach, and when he threw the shoe,

0:56:26.080 --> 0:56:28.480
<v Speaker 1>he forgot he had his gun in the shoe, and

0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:32.040
<v Speaker 1>so when it hit the ground, it discharged and shot him.

0:56:32.600 --> 0:56:35.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're saying. I don't believe that what you're saying.

0:56:35.680 --> 0:56:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I think these cockroaches are certain areas, got just as

0:56:38.040 --> 0:56:41.239
<v Speaker 1>many guns as we do, and grew up on the

0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:43.840
<v Speaker 1>east side of the trail. Yes, absolutely, I got the

0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:46.880
<v Speaker 1>exact address. It's the eighteen seven hundred block Albions pre

0:56:47.080 --> 0:56:49.399
<v Speaker 1>what else that I guess, the east side of the trail.

0:56:50.160 --> 0:56:52.319
<v Speaker 1>All I'm saying is, all I'm saying is we need

0:56:52.400 --> 0:56:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to stay walked because there's a war going on in

0:56:54.080 --> 0:56:56.760
<v Speaker 1>our homes that nobody is safe from. Okay, these cockroach

0:56:56.800 --> 0:56:58.799
<v Speaker 1>just got guns. What are we supposed to do? Now?

0:56:59.239 --> 0:57:01.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, it's some home remedies that you can use.

0:57:01.520 --> 0:57:03.919
<v Speaker 1>They say, fabric soften, the spray work. They say, lemon

0:57:03.960 --> 0:57:07.200
<v Speaker 1>pills and lemon juice work, dnspray. I've heard that, you know.

0:57:07.360 --> 0:57:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that just makes them mad when all else fails.

0:57:09.239 --> 0:57:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Instead of throwing that old pad Tim's out. Keep them

0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:13.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, keep them to be cockroach killers. But I

0:57:13.440 --> 0:57:15.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to do now that cockroach has got

0:57:15.680 --> 0:57:20.080
<v Speaker 1>hamlets be now he scared to go home? Now not

0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you of the story. The moral of the story is

0:57:28.200 --> 0:57:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't scare a man who sees people as cockroaches,

0:57:30.920 --> 0:57:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and you can't scare a cockroach who sees himself as

0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:37.520
<v Speaker 1>a man. Yes, please get this fifty year old brother

0:57:37.600 --> 0:57:40.520
<v Speaker 1>from Detroit. The sweet sounds of the hamletotes. Oh no,

0:57:40.840 --> 0:57:55.480
<v Speaker 1>you are do gee? Oh the do gee? Oh? Is

0:57:55.520 --> 0:57:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that a real story? You know what stuff we're gonna

0:57:58.800 --> 0:58:00.439
<v Speaker 1>have to talk about, Jordan Peel. This be a great

0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:05.720
<v Speaker 1>horror movie. Imagineaches got their guns, just like you ever

0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:08.920
<v Speaker 1>see that movie back in the day, The Birds, where

0:58:08.960 --> 0:58:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the birds all came together and they were invading people's homes.

0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:14.840
<v Speaker 1>To imagine the cock roaches have guns and they run

0:58:14.880 --> 0:58:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you out of your own home. Because I'm already scared

0:58:17.080 --> 0:58:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to go back in the house. If I ever see

0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:20.720
<v Speaker 1>a roach, I'm not coming back home. The roads had

0:58:20.760 --> 0:58:23.280
<v Speaker 1>a gun. You can have the house. They won't be

0:58:23.360 --> 0:58:25.600
<v Speaker 1>prepared in these streets. All right. We got more coming

<v Speaker 1>the guy we are The Breakfast Club, The time for asking, yeat, Hello,

0:59:10.400 --> 0:59:14.080
<v Speaker 1>who's this? Hey? My name is? I'm not gonna because

0:59:14.080 --> 0:59:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. You're anonymous. Okay. I have a

0:59:16.680 --> 0:59:19.800
<v Speaker 1>man and he has a twenty year old, a seventeen

0:59:19.880 --> 0:59:22.600
<v Speaker 1>year old, six year old, and a three year old. Okay,

0:59:22.760 --> 0:59:25.720
<v Speaker 1>but I don't have any kids. Okay, my man like

0:59:25.920 --> 0:59:28.240
<v Speaker 1>everything else. Every day he doesn't call me and saying

0:59:28.280 --> 0:59:30.840
<v Speaker 1>how your day doing, or did you eat? Anything like that,

0:59:31.280 --> 0:59:33.800
<v Speaker 1>But he caused his daughter, which is acceptable. I don't

0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:36.200
<v Speaker 1>mind him doing well. I'm not jealous of anything like that.

0:59:36.600 --> 0:59:39.560
<v Speaker 1>But he caused his daughter and he makes sure, Okay,

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:41.680
<v Speaker 1>did you eat today? Or did you what did you do?

0:59:41.920 --> 0:59:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Did it this or not? But is it wrong for

0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:46.360
<v Speaker 1>me to say, like, okay, why can't he do that

0:59:46.480 --> 0:59:48.160
<v Speaker 1>for me? So you want him to treat you like

0:59:48.280 --> 0:59:50.600
<v Speaker 1>his daughter. No, I don't want him to treat me

0:59:50.720 --> 0:59:52.640
<v Speaker 1>like his daughter. What I want him to do is

0:59:53.120 --> 0:59:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I want some of the attentions that I'm not saying.

0:59:56.120 --> 0:59:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I want the attention that he's giving his daughter, but

0:59:58.040 --> 1:00:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying that as a woman shouldn' he asked me

1:00:00.680 --> 1:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>how my thing is going and stuff like that too,

1:00:03.480 --> 1:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't understand that's the daughter. You gotta make

1:00:05.840 --> 1:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>sure that his daughter is okay? But how about me?

1:00:09.360 --> 1:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Because it seems like the temptons always driftad But well,

1:00:14.000 --> 1:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like he has four kids and a lot

1:00:16.240 --> 1:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>going on that he has to check up on, and

1:00:17.840 --> 1:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you don't have any kids, and your attentions always on him.

1:00:20.560 --> 1:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>But his attention is more divided because he has a

1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>lot more things to be concerned about and a lot

1:00:25.160 --> 1:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>more people. Oh yeah, you do you call him and

1:00:28.640 --> 1:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>check on him and ask how he's doing. Yes, all

1:00:31.080 --> 1:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the time. I text him at work and make sure

1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>he's okay and stuff like that. But he seems he

1:00:36.920 --> 1:00:39.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem to like get to drift to do it

1:00:39.240 --> 1:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>with me. I don't know if it's because I don't

1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>ask for or if I don't, But why don't you

1:00:44.400 --> 1:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>ask for it? I don't know, because I sound like

1:00:46.280 --> 1:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>he's hard heading like you don't listen well, and if

1:00:49.120 --> 1:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I ask for it, it won't make no fit well, missunanimously.

1:00:51.840 --> 1:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Why would you talk yourself out of something that you

1:00:53.760 --> 1:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>haven't even tried yet. So this is what you do,

1:00:57.080 --> 1:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's all about how you ask for things too,

1:00:59.200 --> 1:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and how we community kate with each other. So if

1:01:01.400 --> 1:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you say it in a way like you know what

1:01:02.840 --> 1:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I love. I love when you call me and check

1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>on me. And I appreciate that. That's why I always

1:01:08.120 --> 1:01:11.320
<v Speaker 1>calling check on you, baby. Yeah, you right? You right?

1:01:11.440 --> 1:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I should be more in gi Yeah, I should do things.

1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Give him the opportunity to do what you want him

1:01:16.280 --> 1:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to do stead instead of saying to yourself, he not

1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it anyway, he don't want to do this.

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Why he don't treat me like this? You got to

1:01:22.880 --> 1:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>show people how to treat you sometimes. Yeah, you're right,

1:01:25.720 --> 1:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you worry about that. I never thought of it like

1:01:28.000 --> 1:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I just thought of because I'm more quiet than the

1:01:31.640 --> 1:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>push as am. I say. I'm more of a man

1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>coming on to me than me coming on to a man.

1:01:38.240 --> 1:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's all. Well he's a little older, so

1:01:41.000 --> 1:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>he's probably not playing those games with you. But go

1:01:43.240 --> 1:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>ahead and let him know what you went and do

1:01:44.920 --> 1:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it in a nice way, and perhaps he'll do it

1:01:47.040 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and then you guys will be a whole lot happier. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>hold of helm And I'm like, I'm not I'm not

1:02:54.440 --> 1:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>in your situation. She done. She tried to put a

1:02:58.000 --> 1:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>restraint in order on us, just been doing like weird,

1:03:01.840 --> 1:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't talk to her. I don't even know

1:03:03.840 --> 1:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>why she tried to put a restraint on order on us.

1:03:05.920 --> 1:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>We went to court, the juice looking at her like,

1:03:08.800 --> 1:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>bitches you crazy. He's like, you need to put a

1:03:11.480 --> 1:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>restraint on her, on us, on her, and I'm like,

1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't do all that? All right? She and it said,

1:03:15.920 --> 1:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>let's back up for a second. So you and your

1:03:18.000 --> 1:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>baby father are together? No, we not together, But do

1:03:21.680 --> 1:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you all live together. Yeah, we still live together, so

1:03:24.920 --> 1:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you are kind of I mean, and you still love him. Yeah,

1:03:29.040 --> 1:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I still love him. He's only got I've been with

1:03:31.840 --> 1:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>we've been together for almost nine years. But now there's

1:03:34.840 --> 1:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna be some messiness if this is indeed his baby. Now,

1:03:38.240 --> 1:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>let's as far as the other women, right, you can't

1:03:41.160 --> 1:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>be mad at her. She's pregnant with a child on

1:03:43.160 --> 1:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the way that that child is his, and he's not

1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>communicating already had the baby. Oh she had it. So

1:03:48.200 --> 1:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>there's been no opportunity test or anything. Yeah, they just rankfully.

1:03:52.160 --> 1:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>She spent like some people to my house with these

1:03:54.600 --> 1:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>court orders and they just recently got a test done.

1:03:58.000 --> 1:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>The test should be back here and Mark we have

1:04:00.440 --> 1:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>find out in March. So part of what you want

1:04:03.520 --> 1:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to do is is it depended also on whether or

1:04:06.280 --> 1:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>not this is his child. I just don't know if

1:04:08.920 --> 1:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I should take him back period like that. It's from her.

1:04:11.880 --> 1:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I was pregnant and he went on and did that.

1:04:14.440 --> 1:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>But the sad thing is, it's like, I know why

1:04:16.520 --> 1:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>he went on and cheated because I'm crazy. Baby, Listen,

1:04:22.080 --> 1:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>don't blame a man for cheating on you and not

1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>being honest. That's not your fault. Okay, he could have

1:04:27.120 --> 1:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>broken up with you and said it's not working. You

1:04:29.360 --> 1:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>can't excuse the fact that he's not your fault. Ever,

1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't say I understand why he did it. He's wrong. Okay, true,

1:04:36.440 --> 1:04:38.919
<v Speaker 1>So don't say, oh, I can understand why he cheated.

1:04:39.000 --> 1:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Don't let him brainwash you that way. But oh no,

1:04:42.080 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a simple factor like I did from real crazy

1:04:45.280 --> 1:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Like if he just parted out, I probably would have

1:04:47.560 --> 1:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>when cheated too. He didn't brainwash me or not. But Shannon,

1:04:52.440 --> 1:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say, what did you do? I just got

1:04:54.400 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to know. Oh, I stabbed him? Oh my god. This

1:04:58.120 --> 1:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>is a toxic relationship. There's cheating, there's stabbing, there's violence. Oh,

1:05:03.520 --> 1:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you're doing anything like as far as the fact that

1:05:05.680 --> 1:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you have kids to raise together with therapy like family therapy,

1:05:09.160 --> 1:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>therapy with him. That's what his mom told us to do.

1:05:11.880 --> 1:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just not with Shannon. That's what you have

1:05:15.440 --> 1:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to say. That's what you have to do. Y'all got

1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>kids involved. You guys are violent, there's affairs, there's things

1:05:20.440 --> 1:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>going on, and you want to make sure in the

1:05:21.880 --> 1:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>future that these things don't happen and learn how to

1:05:23.720 --> 1:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>deal with your anger a right, And so the first

1:05:26.480 --> 1:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>step I would say for you before you decide if

1:05:28.480 --> 1:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you're taking him back or not, is for you to

1:05:30.880 --> 1:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>both go to therapy and find out what some of

1:05:32.720 --> 1:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the issues that you have with each other and how

1:05:34.160 --> 1:05:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to deal with those issues. Better work on that before

1:05:37.000 --> 1:05:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you decide what decision you're going to make. But you

1:05:39.480 --> 1:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>have to do that, all right, right, for the sake

1:05:42.240 --> 1:05:45.959
<v Speaker 1>of your children. Do that. You're so hard, I don't

1:05:46.080 --> 1:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>even know. Listen, the things that are beneficial to you

1:05:48.840 --> 1:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>are not always easy, right, and I promise you it's

1:05:52.120 --> 1:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>going to help you as a person, as a mom,

1:05:55.320 --> 1:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>as a potential wife. You have to heal that first,

1:05:58.640 --> 1:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and whether or not you guys end up together, this

1:06:00.520 --> 1:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>would be great for you, all right, bright, all right,

1:06:03.840 --> 1:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>So don't make any decisions now, but make the decision

1:06:06.600 --> 1:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to go to therapy. That's the only one you need

1:06:08.320 --> 1:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to make, Okay, all right, Shannon, Let please check back

1:06:12.120 --> 1:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>in and let me know what happens. We want to

1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:20.439
<v Speaker 1>monitor your progress. Thank you. Okay, don't stab anyone. I'm

1:06:20.480 --> 1:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>done with that angry like I don't know when I

1:06:23.560 --> 1:06:27.360

<v Speaker 1>the phone line. Hello, who's this hey, Keisha? What's your

1:06:53.760 --> 1:06:56.840
<v Speaker 1>question for C? And My question is I've been dating

1:06:56.880 --> 1:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>this guy for like three years now I have an

1:06:59.360 --> 1:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>eight year old and that's not my him. Um, that's

1:07:01.360 --> 1:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>for my previous relationships. My boyfriend got a job offering

1:07:04.360 --> 1:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>toth Calina to become a cop. Now my all my

1:07:07.560 --> 1:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>family is here in New Jersey, my grandmother, my son's grandparents,

1:07:10.160 --> 1:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>His father's nothing we in his life, but I keep

1:07:11.800 --> 1:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>in touch with his family, so my son has a

1:07:13.720 --> 1:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>great relationship with everybody. My family's here. My boyfriend's family

1:07:17.000 --> 1:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>is in South Carolina. Were not all of them, but

1:07:18.720 --> 1:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>some of them are there. He got friends there. Now

1:07:21.000 --> 1:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>is it fair for me to just uproot my life,

1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>my son's life, and move there with him to support him?

1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>You know? This is this is how you know somebody

1:07:30.280 --> 1:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>giving out the average penis, because if that man was

1:07:32.360 --> 1:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>giving out top notch penis, you wouldn't even have to

1:07:34.360 --> 1:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>ask yourself that question. No, that's not true, it's not true. No,

1:07:39.240 --> 1:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>she's she's looking out for her son. She's not worried here,

1:07:42.760 --> 1:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>my mom here, his his father's family here. Like I said,

1:07:45.880 --> 1:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I keep great contact with him, like it's nobody there

1:07:48.560 --> 1:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>for us. You know what I'm saying? How serious is

1:07:50.320 --> 1:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>this though? How serious is the relationship? Do you ever ring?

1:07:52.680 --> 1:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>We're serious? But it's just like you know, it's a

1:07:54.600 --> 1:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>take set Like from Jersey to South Carolina. That's a

1:07:56.760 --> 1:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>big sep. I take that step without a ring. By

1:07:59.400 --> 1:08:02.439
<v Speaker 1>the way, I'm I made the opposite step. I made

1:08:02.480 --> 1:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the opposite step. I went from South Carolina to Jersey

1:08:05.480 --> 1:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to New York. Okay, back in two thousand and what six,

1:08:09.600 --> 1:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And you know when Wendy Williams and her husband was like, Yo,

1:08:12.240 --> 1:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>we can give you a place to stay, but we

1:08:13.680 --> 1:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>can't pay you. So I was out. Okay, so yo,

1:08:16.479 --> 1:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you got to step out on faith, Martin Lui

1:08:18.439 --> 1:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Kain Junior said, sometimes you got to step out on faith,

1:08:21.320 --> 1:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>even if you don't see the whole rest of the steadcase.

1:08:23.200 --> 1:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>You might just see one step, all right, don't I've

1:08:27.040 --> 1:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>been going through his phone, misak through his phone. Now

1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:30.559
<v Speaker 1>he is going to propose. He already asked my father

1:08:30.840 --> 1:08:34.599
<v Speaker 1>what's coming? But I would wait, wait, wait for that proposal.

1:08:35.439 --> 1:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Son eight as eight, So this up root in him,

1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>That's all I was worried about, like it would this

1:08:40.360 --> 1:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>be the best decision from this a mom and a

1:08:42.680 --> 1:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>woman's point of build. Wow, wait for that proposal. See

1:08:45.240 --> 1:08:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the thing is is you don't want to go all

1:08:46.560 --> 1:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the way out then and it doesn't work, and now

1:08:48.160 --> 1:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you're stuck in South Carolina with nothing to do. Don't

1:08:50.200 --> 1:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>disrespect to South Carolina, Charlomagne, but you know Jersey is

1:08:53.200 --> 1:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>way better. So it's just amazing how average penis won't

1:08:56.400 --> 1:08:58.479
<v Speaker 1>won't allow you to make proper decisions, like if you

1:08:58.560 --> 1:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>had a if this man was blowing your back out

1:09:01.120 --> 1:09:04.759
