00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about this album too much

138
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 3: because I saw you also said this is a period

139
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: of time where you feel like maybe you're not ready

140
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: to be settled down, and yeah.

141
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I'm you know, I'm trying to figure

142
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 7: that part out.

143
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 6: My schedule is pretty hectic right now, but I definitely

144
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 6: want to find love at some point.

145
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 7: I think that's really important, you know.

146
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: Is that so you would say your relationship your last

147
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: month ended probably because you were too focused.

148
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

149
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a mixture of that. I mean, we

150
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 6: both were artists, and you know, it was just it

151
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 6: was just a lot going on for me. I always

152
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 6: want to let somebody be their best self, and I

153
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 6: felt like at a certain point, I don't know, she

154
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 6: was kind of in on what I had going on,

155
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 6: and I wanted her to definitely flow and build her

156
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 6: own thing because she's so talented as an artist, and

157
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: I didn't. I never wanted her to look back, like

158
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 6: six or seven years, you know, and be like you

159
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 6: never really put me on or did anything to help.

160
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 6: And I felt like maybe if we both focused on arm.

161
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: You know, it's probably hard to date another artist. It's tough,

162
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: you know, just because it is like, what's that separation

163
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: at home, right, and like maybe doing things for each other.

164
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 6: You know exactly you want to kind of like, you know,

165
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 6: turn that side off and just focus on kicking in

166
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 6: the house, you know.

167
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's definitely very tough.

168
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 8: Into your phone.

169
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 6: Inspired by that, I was gonna say that, you know what,

170
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 6: shout out to Diane Warren. She she wrote that regendary,

171
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 6: but I resonated with it because, yeah, there was song I.

172
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 7: Felt like that. I love that song.

173
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 8: It feels like old school begging kind of.

174
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I love and begging song.

175
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 8: Shout up with Jeff Giddy.

176
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: You never would have had answer your phone on the

177
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 6: album if I didn't do a meeting with Jeff Giddy.

178
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 7: He was like the whole R and B album no

179
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 7: begging song.

180
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 8: I'm like, all right, so I found one.

181
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 7: And you know, cut it and really sound adupe. Shout

182
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 7: out to Dying Warren.

183
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: Right now, Brooklyn's own and Leon Thomas is in the building.

184
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: And why did you say a deluxe album instead of saying,

185
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: let me put out a you know, standalone project. You know,

186
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: people just do music all different ways. I don't know

187
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: if there's a business decision behind that.

188
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean.

189
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 6: It's definitely some more business decisions behind that. The album

190
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 6: came out too late to be recognized for for any

191
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 6: nominations like Grammys and stuff.

192
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: You know, because it definitely would have.

193
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, so we're definitely trying to, you know,

194
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 6: make sure we continue to breathe life into the project

195
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 6: to at least give it a fair shot.

196
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 7: And I feel like the Deluxe is going to be

197
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 7: a great way for us to do that.

198
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate you so much for coming through. I was

199
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 3: really excited.

200
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 7: I'm a big fan. Thank you for taking it.

201
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: Tom Well, thank you so much. And it's a pleasure

202
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 3: having somebody as talented as you are on the show.

203
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 7: Thank you so much. I appreciate you.

204
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: That was Leon Thomas. Shout out to him. Make sure

00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

217
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 9: Soving the issue with my wife with our kids transitioning

218
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 9: out into the world. I have two of them, are

219
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 9: boy and the girl, and they're once twenty four and

220
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 9: the other one is twenty two, and they're not transitioning

221
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 9: the way that I feel they should be at this stage, you.

222
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: Know, right them at the house, right, yeah, and I'm.

223
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 9: Going work, like you know, the economy is rough, you know,

224
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 9: times are hard, you know, And she doesn't want them

225
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 9: to boomerang back. But I mean, at what point do

226
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 9: you say, you know, that's enough and.

227
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 7: Let them fly?

228
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: Twenty two and twenty four is not that crazy?

229
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 8: Though?

230
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: Did they go to school? Like, what's the plan?

231
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 9: They're working, but their jobs aren't consistent. A hard time

232
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 9: with maintaining apploytment and uh taking accountability for their shortcomings

233
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 9: and uh not growing in the fields that they're trying

234
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 9: to pursue.

235
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: So you want them to be more responsible. And I

236
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: will say I moved out, like I went to college

237
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: and never came back and my parents were not playing

238
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 3: with me. That was a little bit of a tough life.

239
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 8: It was a different time, I think.

240
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think now. I mean, you're out with

241
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: your son, you know, twenty two twenty two, still home

242
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: and he's still home. Do you want me to get out?

243
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 10: No?

244
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 9: He doesn't know because even though I want my son

245
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 9: Golo defrigerator, it arguments me to say, was the.

246
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 11: Thing is this, though I want to be able to

247
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 11: hold him down as long as possible.

248
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 8: I don't want to hold him.

249
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 11: Back, but at the same time, if he needs to

250
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 11: support then you know, you got it. You got to

251
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 11: do it. But I get it though you want to

252
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 11: see them go out and flourish. Though I understand what

253
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 11: you're saying.

254
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 8: But does it more that line of enibbling. What is

255
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 8: that line I do?

256
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 7: It is?

257
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 3: You know, the economy is really messed up for everybody

258
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: right now, and so I would be more patient. But

259
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: maybe you need to give them more responsibilities while they're

260
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: staying in the house.

261
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 9: And what they want to be as possable of paying,

262
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 9: you know.

263
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: Well, you need to set some rules with that. Then

264
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: I think that you have to say, Okay, you guys

265
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: are staying here, here's what the rules are, because at

266
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: the same time, you want them to be able to

267
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: save to move out, but you also want them to know.

268
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: You don't want to be mad when your son opened

269
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: a fridge, because if he's contributing to the money that's

270
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: paying for the groceries, it's a different story, you know

271
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And if he's also buying groceries, So

272
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: what you need to do is establish some rules as

273
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: far as what they're going to be responsible for while

274
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: they're living in the home. That could also be beneficial

275
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: for you guys taking care of household expenses, right, definitely.

276
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: And then I think financial literacy and education is not

277
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 3: always something that we learn. Make sure that they're on

278
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: a budget to save a certain amount of money so

279
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: they know when they hit this market it's time for

280
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: them to look for a place, because sometimes it's not easy.

281
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: Also figuring out how do I budget, how do I

282
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: say even? These are all responsibilities that you can be

283
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: helping them learn but also having them contribute.

284
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 8: All right, well, I'll definitely preature you guys insight and

285
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 8: be my wife.

286
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 7: Boys.

287
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 9: We'll talk some more about it and maybe you know,

288
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 9: go out a little differently. You know, I appreciate your

289
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 9: time today, and right you gotta take care.

Speaker 3: All right, you too? That was ask Yee eight hundred

Speaker 3: and two ninety two fifty one fifty. I'll go on

292
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app click that microphone and ask you a

293
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: question that way, and when we come back, Godfrey is here.

294
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: It's way up with Angela Yee.

300
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 8: What First of all, the genesis of this whole thing.

301
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: I love the fact that they booked you, and I

302
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: looked at the calendar. I said, oh, Godfrey's coming.

303
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 8: I thought it was weird. And I sat in your

304
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 8: green room and I was angry.

305
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: He's like, why is Godfrey in the green.

306
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 8: I'm like, I want to just walk in and bother

307
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 8: you y'all sort of walking and interrupt, I know.

308
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 3: But then I was like, you know, Godfrey's gotten real Hollywood, so.

309
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 8: It's really really cut up.

310
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: And you know that Club Shashay interview. What was so

311
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: funny was that I was like, he's imitating him, but

312
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: he knows.

313
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 10: Yes, people think that I was imitating Shannon Sharp, unbeknownst

314
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 10: to him. First of all, they all make Shannon Sharp

315
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 10: is I'm not going to clown him if you do.

316
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 10: He said, Hey, Godfield, I want you to do me

317
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 10: and you interview me as me And I said all right,

318
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 10: and we we planned it. It wasn't like, oh, let

319
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 10: me clown Shannon Sharp.

320
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: It just was such a regular conversation. It was so

321
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: the way it looked was you were talking to him

322
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: like him, but he wasn't reacting. You know, before I know,

323
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: I'm glad this happened.

324
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 8: Do they know how.

325
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 12: Big Shannon Sharp is. They talk all that smack, but

326
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 12: when you see him, you're like, oh, hey, Shannon, I

327
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 12: was just joking.

328
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 3: He would go, right now, Godfrey is here with us.

329
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 3: You know that's my guy. He really helped me kick

330
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: off way up with you. Isn't it crazy how fast

331
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 3: the tides turn and then can turn back because I

332
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: feel like we're sharing this Sharp all that drama happened,

333
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: and then I felt like we kind of forgot about

334
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: it that.

335
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 12: Way because it was bogus and you know, it's not

336
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 12: like the person was underage. It was just somebody trying

337
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 12: to get a bag. And I think it's great that

338
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 12: he's joking on himself. And I told Jan and I said, man,

339
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 12: make fun of yourself.

340
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 8: Man, what are you gonna do? What else you gonna do?

341
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: Right?

342
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think you know, the thing for him was

343
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: also people feel like he had this big deal on

344
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 3: the table, one hundred millions O.

345
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, and he probably but here's.

346
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: The thing, and then he ended up postponing the tour,

347
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: like I shouldn't do this right.

348
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 12: Well, I think he's gonna be just fine. He's great

349
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 12: at what he does. The show is amazing.

350
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 8: And my thing is it almost seems like like Zion

351
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 8: the ball Player Diaan Williamson all of a.

352
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 12: Sudden, this girl's coming out really because it's always like

353
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 12: somebody with a lot of dough.

354
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: I meant what it is, that's.

355
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: What we hear about, right, Listen. I don't want that

356
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: to happen to anything celebrities.

357
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 8: Okay.

358
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 3: Also, at the same time, know that there's a lot

359
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: of women who things have happened to that are quiet

360
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: about it and'll never speak about it.

361
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 12: Side for them when it's constantly like are you sure, and.

362
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 8: Then they end up lying.

363
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 12: You know, it's just weird because everybody's trying to get

364
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 12: it back, so then you go, wow, what is this about?

365
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 8: You understand where coming from?

366
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's hard because like even with the whole

367
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: CATCHI thing, no one believed her till the video came

368
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: out of her getting like beat up in the hallway.

369
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 3: Everybody that video came out, they were like, oh damn,

370
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: like this really happened, because sometimes we can put people

371
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: in a certain and I don't mean you idolizing anybody,

372
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: but sometimes people can idolize someone to the point where

373
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: they don't believe that that person could have done something

374
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: like this. So we don't know who did what, and

375
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: so we don't know what's true. We don't know what's

376
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: not true. So I never liked because even if somebody

377
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: gets found not guilty or guilty, those things could also

378
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: be wrong, you know what I mean. And that's what's

379
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: really risky about women coming forward to say anything, because

380
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: it's really hard to prove.

381
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 8: We just just stop interacting with each other.

382
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: Glad For is here, and we got so much more

383
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: with him when we come back. He's got stories for days.

384
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: I could just sit back and I say, I damn,

385
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: where we got more? Godfrey's way up?

386
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: What you're being waiting for? You with Angela?

387
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 8: What's up?

388

Speaker 3: His way up with Angela? Yee? And Godfrey is here

Speaker 3: can't just swipe on everybody.
