I tried a 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.880 long few days. I had my opening in my coffee 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.800 shop Friday, Saturday, I had angela Yee day. Then I 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.600 flew out to for a lot of day. I did 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.319 an interview with Kodak Black and then now I'm finally 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:18.040 Kodak Yes, yes man, and now I'm back. And he 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.119 actually didn't you don't got no manners? No, I didn't 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.840 say that he just didn't use that particular phrase. Yes, 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.760 he was very polite. Kodak is Kodak is a Kodak 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.560 is a good, good person. I believe he's just young man. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.720 Young people make mistakes, as we all did when we 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.120 were young. And imagine having access to all of that 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.920 money and all of those resources and everything else at 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.240 that age. You know, since he was seventeen, he hasn't 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.280 been out of jail for one consecutive year, Like he's 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:45.920 been in and out, in and out since he was 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.760 seventeen and before that, Julie and all kinds of you know, 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.120 you got to think about all the trauma that people 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.720 go through, and the guards beating him up in jail 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.400 and everything that happened. But he's gonna get really in 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.400 depth about a lot of those things. And that's why 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.560 I've committed my life to him helping helping, you know, 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.559 people in general, hill with especially young black men, because 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.799 if we don't break them generational curses, who will absolutely. Yeah, 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.959 it's some parts in there that I thought, like, oh, man, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.400 you might want to cry. Man. We've been passing trauma 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.280 off his culture for so damn long. But this is 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.720 the first generation I feel that has the luxury of 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.880 actually healing, so we'll be okay. But yes, it was 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.880 a whirlwind of days for me, and then and then 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.640 the Breakfast Club went viral yesterday, but we'll talk about 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:34.880 that later. For Envy and be calling Kanye clown like 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:40.040 thirty times yesterday, I send Kanye was healing energy. I'm sending, Yeah, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.799 send them healing it. But I'm sure you don't mind 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.160 aggesting that, right, Envy later? Sure, Okay, had a zillion 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.720 one conversations with a zillion one people, you're more than 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.200 to say after you call somebody at clown, here's the thing, 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.480 And I said, Kanye was here energy people, the team 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.320 ID a zillion one conversation, but you can't ever have 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.200 the real conversation because what what what? That is what 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.359 your statements were rooted and we would never be able 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.440 to share because it's not our story to tell, correct, 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.600 you know what I mean? So if if people knew, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.120 if people knew, they would understand why you said what 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.720 you said. But I choose to send him healing energy. Okay, Yeah, 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.440 the people that were involved in me, it was I 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.960 got so many calls yesterday from older artists, new artists, athletes, actors, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.440 people in the industry, Yay's team, a whole bunch of people. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.320 We'll talk about a little bit. But like you said, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.960 it's it's something that you know. It's not my story 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.280 to tell. It's not your story to tell. We just 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.040 know and I know how it makes me feel. But 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.239 we'll we'll talk about it a little bit later. I'll 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:41.680 tell energy. You can tell. It's gonna come out when 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.480 it comes out. I'm sure it'll come out. People understanding. Man. Now, 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.520 we got some special guests joining us today. I got 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.440 last week. I was out you guys interview with Ingrid Best. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.520 Oh man, please tell people Best Okay, So Ingrid Best. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.600 It's a very dear friend of mine. But she is 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:02.120 the executive vice president for Come Enterprises. That's Ditty's Enterprises, 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.600 and she runs the Delian and Stick and they just 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:09.120 launched this really incredible campaign celebrating black business owners. It 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.280 actually just launched yesterday. So she's gonna come up here 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.320 and talk about how she's gotten into the position that 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.000 she has and the team that she's created of all 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.359 black women. I missed it. I was out of town English. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.760 The best. She's very very that's her last names. And 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.080 these conversations are great because everybody always wants to do 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.080 things in front of the camera and be you know, 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.400 all out for people to see. Ingridge one of those 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.400 people who makes things happen behind the scene for a 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.000 long time, even before running Comb's Entertainment. So I can 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.360 wait a few guys to hear that. But let's get 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.400 the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well, 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.200 the last US military planes have left Afghanistan, so that 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:50.040 is America's longest war twenty years. And will tell you 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.080 what that's like and what Joe Biden had to say. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.760 He also is going to be speaking today about that. 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.839 All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:06.480 Good morning, Da Da van Van. As much as we 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.680 played his record field on the Worst Men of the Morning, 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.400 everybody is dj Envy Angel Ye Charlomine the guy. We 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.800 are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.840 Where were starting you, Well, the last US military planes 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.120 have left Afghanistan, and here is General Frank Mackenzie, who 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.240 is the commander of US Central Command, speaking at the 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:29.240 Pentagon about not getting everyone out even though the last 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.599 planes have left. Look, there's a lot of hard break 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.719 associated with this departure. We did not get everybody out 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.440 that we wanted to get out, But I think if 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.839 would stayed another ten days, Louis, we wouldn't have gotten 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.680 everybody out that we wanted to get out, and there 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.640 still would have been people who would have been disappointed 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.960 with that. It's a tough situation, but I want to 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.960 emphasize again that simply because we have left, that doesn't 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.520 mean the opportunities for both Americans that are in Afghanistan 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.320 that want to leave and Afghans who want to leave, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.600 they will not be denied that opportunity. I think our 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.320 Department of State is going to work that very hard. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.280 In the days when we said I hope they really 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.000 got everybody out, I pretty nobody misdual slice. Well, they 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.479 said there's a small number of Americans in the two hundred, 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.560 and they said it's like the number that's closer to 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.600 one hundred Americans who remain in Afghanistan and went to leave. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.360 Now they still I thought they had to be out 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.360 about the thirty first. I mean, they were trying to 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.880 get everybody out. I don't know why there's still some 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.960 people that haven't been able to get there. They said 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.920 the last five flights didn't even have any US citizens 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.360 on there. Let me find out, America Book, Spirit Airlines 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.320 Flace you shot up all right. In addition to that, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.480 he also talked about the threat of terror. Now, how 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.640 high is that? The terry threat is going to be 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.599 very high. But I think what we'll do is we 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.200 will work with the Taliban and work with the next 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.360 government of Afghanistan, Afghanistan, whatever his characterization is going to be, 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.359 in order to ensure that our citizens are protected and 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.200 that they have an opportunity to leave. As you know, 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.040 we still hold a variety of significant leverage over whatever 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.080 future government exists in Cobble, and I have no doubt 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.960 that the Department of State will fully exercise that leverage 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.080 if you have any confident in their ability to secure 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.120 the city. Right now, the Taliban, I think they're going 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.520 to be challenged to secure the city. Yeah, I'm on 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.720 high alert, you know, the next couple of weeks because 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.640 it's the twenty year anniversary in nine to eleven in 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.240 America is very vulnerable right now. You just never know 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.360 if they wanted to do something, this would be a 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.920 good opportunity for them, right And video from Kabo Airport 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.160 does show that they were celebrating. The Taliban was celebrating 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.640 and saying this victory belongs to us all and congratulating 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.680 the people of Afghanistan. So they're looking at this as 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.320 a victory a war that lasted almost twenty years. I 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.920 mean it is the ops is gone. The ops fled 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.240 the scene. So yeah, and what did so he said 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.120 they're going to actually talk to the leader of the Taliban, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.040 but they said they have to engage, and so it's 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.000 no way around engaging to have to deal with them. 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.920 And you know, isis K is like the Taliban is 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.360 saying that they're not the way that they used to be, 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.840 the draconian measures that they used to take. But a 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.640 lot of people are on high alert that things are 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.720 going to revert back to what it used to be 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.400 like before because they're supposed to be a lot more 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.680 moderate now. But isis K is not supposedly part of 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.320 the Taliband. It's a terror group. Oh for the record, 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.080 that's what Trump is doing. And he got flat for it. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.480 All right, Well, that is agotiating with him, trying to 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.280 make a deal.

I 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.640 understand how you feel about Kanye, all right, But I 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.839 had a whole discussion on YouTube with a couple of 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.760 y'all followers letting them know I don't know what y'all 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.480 were expecting out It is Kanye album. Kanye is the 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:40.040 street he doing. I g models him right, excuse me, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.640 see to god, I gotta quote you. You said that 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.240 you are free hid rappers in their age. That rap 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.839 about real life stuck. This man was depressed. This man 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.280 was broken. This man chose to express his read through 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.800 his musical masterpiece. I love the album and I'm a 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.439 huge Kanye fan. I'm four eleven, but I'm six eight 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.480 for Kanye. Oh. I mean, that's why my music is subjective. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.640 I'm not late. Music made you fail away because you 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.360 could relate to it exactly. And I feel like Djay envied, Okay, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.480 your job is a dj T how to let the 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.640 music speak. I understand that you got be And as 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.160 a Kanye fan, I do not agree with everything my 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.960 man does, but that album, I feel like that album, 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.640 with his vulnerability, we saw him go through all this 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.160 stuff with Danza dying and just falling out in the media. 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.000 I think you should give it a chance. Don't call 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.360 him in a clown. This was him showing his emotions 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.200 about his mom. Come on, man, you die, give it 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.200 a chance. I was ready to fund you. Let your 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:41.840 car show down to mine. You can come and see me. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.240 We could have a conversation. But I don't. I don't 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.760 think it is Kanye's music is clownish. I just think 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.560 him as a person in what he does behind the 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.080 scenes is clownish. I never I never disrespect that man's music. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.480 I mean, I actually love Kanye's music, So it has 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.680 nothing to do with Kanye as an artist. It has 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.680 to do with Kanye as a person. But listen, that's 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.040 like like Black. My daughter loves Kodak. Okay, y'all were 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.240 just talking about him. I'm not a huge Kodek band. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.920 A lot of stuff you do, I can't agree with. 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.360 My daughter loves this music. Girl, that's fine. But I 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.080 understand that code. It does make good music regardless of 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.280 this antic. You gotta you gotta let the music feat. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.600 You gotta give it a chance. Don't don't shelve it 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.840 just because you don't. I'm listen. I'm listening to the 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.800 whole album. I think, and I listen just personally, I 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.720 think the album is kind of lackluster. He got some 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.520 joints on there. I really like though, Like I love 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.040 to join with Kanye and Westside, I love to join 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.080 with the Locks and Jail Electronica. I love to join 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.520 it with Roddy Rich. But I mean it just I 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.080 don't know. It's our Forty some minutes is a long 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:43.000 time to me. A good album an album if you like, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.320 like six or seven songs on this album, I feel 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.320 like that makes it a good album. Now in the 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.240 hours an hour, forty minutes. Yeah, but I do feel 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.760 like there's six really really great songs on there, and 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.680 that's something that I could listen to and then as 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:58.280 if you I don't like but yeah, I just think 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.160 you should have shorten it twelve songs. There's a great 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.240 album within that hour forty eight minutes. And I've heard 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.520 that yesterday and I completely agree because I'm not gonna lie. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.280 I was like an hour of forty minutes, but do 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.360 I expect three hunting the shows that was changing up features. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.240 But dj Vy, you had me at worked boiling. I 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.560 was like, I went home on the boiling. I was like, 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.480 oh God, but that's what happened. But but but that's 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.800 what happens when people don't know the whole story and 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.080 it's not our story to tell. And I'm a listen 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.800 and I'm listen when it comes out that made you know, 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.040 I may be able to say, Okay, you know what, Dnvy, 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.040 I get it. You know. I still think it's a 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:34.800 good album, but I don't think you should just shove 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.560 it because of the I didn't say I was gonna 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.760 show them.

We love that show, right, 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.520 And Trick Daddy was recently on and he discussed the topic. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.440 And we all know him from the Eat a Booty gang, 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.200 and I feel like this has been said before, but 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.159 he's very blatant about the fact that he likes to 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:27.840 uh eat the booty. Okay, no, not not, he likes 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.320 to do that. It gets done to him. All right, 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.120 listen to this conversation. So it's the eat a booty game. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.159 I'm building a franchise up now. Now I'm getting the 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.280 women to support the eaton booty game. Wait wait, wait, 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:42.200 wait wait who when you say women to support the 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.520 eat booty game? You say women is eating the booty?

Though, it depends how many times 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.560 a trick gonna go viold for this same thing. Every 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.400 time he says this, y'all act like it's the first time. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.600 I don't know why people still shame this where you 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.320 don't get it. And I feel like both of y'all 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.160 have said the same thing up here too. So it's 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:10.960 tank So a bunch of other people like y'all got 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.760 to stop king shaming people for what they like to 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:14.680 do in the bedroom. Number one, he's being funny. And 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.480 number two, it can absolutely be described just getting you 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.399 say that. You know you cannot say it can be 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.159 described as that. We say, yeah, we say eat the 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:27.240 poom poom, So what else could you call it? I 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.040 really have no idea booty? So you get your legs 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.639 in the hair too, like I've never done that, but 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.439 I mean, it doesn't matter. That's my business in the bedroom, 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:36.560 you know what I mean. But y'all got to stop 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.200 king shaming people for stuff like that. And why do 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.480 y'all act like this is the first time. Every time 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:45.639 trick Daddy says it, I said times he asked topics 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.160 about it before I know we have Do you guys 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:49.840 shave the hair on your butt or nothing like that? 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:54.159 Like back there as you man escape that human resources. 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.920 But yes, I do what shaving? I mean you ask 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.560 me about because I'm thinking about as you guys are 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:03.920 getting mean, how that's the question, like this is shaver? 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:09.680 He puts his legs out. Yes, all right, you put something, 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:18.040 you put a vibrating thing, a vibrating you know, To 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.680 be clear, Charlemagne didn't start man escaping until the Breakfast Class. 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.080 Yes it is. You didn't. I started man escaping when 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.000 we were doing MTV's Guy Code because the first episode 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.320 of MTV's Guy Called was about man escaping. I never 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:32.960 had heard of such a thing, but wasn't it ding 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:34.879 also while you were on the Breakfast Club, because we 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.040 had a whole conversation about it and you said you 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.119 never did it. It was all mtvs Guy Cold. But 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.960 you do remember you said you didn't used to man escape, Yeah, 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.639 but had nothing to do with Breakfast Club. Right. That 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.400 was literally the first episode of MTV's Guy Called ten 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.840 years ago. Okay, well yes, man escape, yeah, as you should. 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.520 All right. Now, Drake has went to Instagram to unveil 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.479 some more certified loverboy merch. Now y'all saw that uh 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:04.159 picture that he had of all the little emojis of 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.879 the pregnant women, and people were confused about what that is. 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:12.680 So what that is? And it was explained is, um, basically, 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.120 well I don't think that's the cover art, but they're 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.159 saying the pregnant it's not the cover. They said, that's 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.160 the pregnant emojis are away for saying that the album 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.280 is nine months late? Who is they who said this? 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.639 So that is um According to Obio sound Well, Elliott 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:31.359 Wilson confirmed they said it was album and DJ Academics 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.640 actually spoke to Drake and Drake said, it's the album cover. 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.879 Do I think it's the actual album cover? Probably not, 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.360 but it gets to people talking, not to mention who 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.200 gives a damn bought album covers anymore. I was thinking 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:42.880 the same thing. Nobody ever looks at the album covers 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:44.440 like that's how you just listen to the album. It's not. 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:50.680 Danda has no cover. Literally, it's nothing. It's it's just 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:55.280 a black box. People thought it was clever, but yes, 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:57.040 I don't know if this is the cover art or not. 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.119 But they're saying that this could be, you know, just 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.160 because the album was nine months late so he's pregnant, 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.400 or it could be, as Elliott Wilson said, the cover 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:08.720 and you know, like you said, DJ academic said, he 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:10.560 asked Drake, and Drake said that, yes, this really is 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:12.240 a cover. It wouldn't be the last time Drake did 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:14.159 a basic gas cover. I mean, if you're reading this 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.000 too late was a basic gas cover. But then that 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:19.480 became like a hit me. I love the way that 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.520 little Nozas actually hijacked that cover for his own too, 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.880 and he put a bunch of emojis of pregnant men 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.960 all right now. Drake has also shared some new images 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.159 of Certified lover Boy and Nike. The collap that they 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.439 have and with together, something other than me has got 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:38.280 to give. That's one of the shirts said. One says, 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.440 should have said you love me today because tomorrow is 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.119 a new day. One says, I don't miss let alone 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:48.359 miss you the hell some t shirts. It's a lot 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:50.320 of writing, a lot of words on there, but yes, 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.080 they managed to fit it all in. You gotta at 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.800 least wear a double excel to fit all the words in. 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.159 All right now. Jr. Smith is sharing his college journey 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:02.760 and everybody's really excited for him, and so he posted 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.239 on social media. English is my first language, but these 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:09.040 papers though. Joined the study group for my African American 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.240 Studies class on Groupie and my classmates don't think it's 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:15.119 me finish my English homework. Dope short story about a 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.760 little girl with six brothers in Seeking Parents Approval Dope 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.480 reading first tutoring session in the books I really liked 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.800 missus Burke extremely helpful. So he said, I hated school 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:25.399 growing up, and I knew this would be a challenge. 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.760 But that's not going to discourage me one second. You 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:29.960 have to be able to buckle down and lock into 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:33.160 new journeys and challenges coming in your life, observe, learn 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.639 and adapt. I'm happy for j. Smith. So he's at 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.680 North Carolina A and T. And I saw somebody posted 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:40.840 a picture like, I can't believe that J. R. Smith 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.760 is in my class, in my eight am class. So 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.200 that's good. I mean, I just I wish that I 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.120 took advantage of a lot of the classes that were 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:49.600 in college. When I was in college, I was just 0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:51.080 trying to get out. Well, you all wish he did, 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:53.679 and I wish I had took advantage of a lot 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:55.880 of the stuff that I should have, whether it's accounting classes, 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.600 in finance classes, things that I had to figure out 0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:00.879 later on. I wish I took advantage of it. I 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.000 just respect the fact that he's not afraid to continue 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.919 to still grow and learn, you know, and try new things, 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.720 because I mean, he's a multi millionaire. He don't have 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:09.200 to go back to school. But the fact that he 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.879 wants to make himself better. I respected to drop on 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:15.639 a clues BONX to Jall Smith. Demit my favorite Carlage class. 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.359 I think that I ever took was screenwriting. That was 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.560 a I did photography in college. So it's fine. You 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:23.840 can take classes that you really care about and that 0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.200 interests you and learn more. Yeah. I mean, you know, 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:29.160 I as a doctorate, As a person with a doctorate degree, 0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:31.680 you know, I spent a lot of time. Don't classroom? 0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:33.639 What class you know what I mean? What classroom did 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:35.159 you spend telling him? Don't don't worry about that. You 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:41.240 know this is before doctor and that is your rumor report. 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:50.040 He is doctor. I'm still a doctor, you are. Okay, 0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.360 we got front page news. Next. What we're talking about, Yes, 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.760 and let's talk about about one point one million customers 0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:57.159 still don't have power in Louisiana. When are they going 0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.440 to get their power back? And we'll give you some 0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.520 updates as rescue efforts are continuing. All right, we'll get 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:05.640 into that next. It's the breakfast slogal morning, So Breakfast Club, 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:09.719 your mornings will never be the same. Angela. Ye here, 0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:11.800 and did you know that the General Insurance has been 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:15.439 saving people money for nearly sixty years. Take a closer 0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:17.360 look at the General and see how they can help 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:20.280 you save two Call eight hundred General or go to 0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:27.040 the General dot com. Some restrictions apply. Morning. Everybody is 0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:30.440 cej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are to 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:35.760 breakfast Club's getting some front page news. Where we starting you, Well, 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:40.240 let's start in Louisiana. Hurricane Ida has left catastrophic damage. 0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.760 We already told you guys that one person was confirmed 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:45.200 to have been killed. Well, now they said there's a 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.680 second storm related death that was reported following Hurricane Ida. 0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:51.159 The first as a tree that fell on someone. That 0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:54.160 the next one is a man who drowned after attempting 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:57.119 to drive his vehicle through floodwater. They said, right now, 0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.040 his age is unknown. I know a lot of people 0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:02.080 are trying to locate their loved ones as these rescue 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:05.080 efforts are continuing. About one point one million customers still 0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.359 do not have power in Louisiana. They said. Electricity is 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:12.040 practically non existent for most people. They're saying some of 0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.720 these outages could last more than three weeks, by the way, 0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:18.000 so that's really imagine having to go three weeks they 0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.800 said three hospitals across the state have already been evacuated, 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:24.200 with the fourth hospital and the process of being evacuated. 0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:27.760 And according to the governor, there's also eighteen water system 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.920 outages impacting more than over three hundred thousand people and 0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:34.399 fourteen boil water advisories that impacts more than three hundred 0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:37.960 and twenty nine thousand people across Louisiana. That's hard. Well, 0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:39.679 that's got to suck in two thwenty one. I mean, 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:41.440 I went through something like that in the eighties with 0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:44.119 Hurricane h going Charleston, South Carolina. But they have to 0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:46.840 experience that in twenty twenty one, like that should not 0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:49.000 be the case for anybody to be without power for 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:52.320 three weeks, right, And Joe Biden has addressed the damage 0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:55.360 caused by Hurricane Ida, and he is offering federal support 0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:58.080 to the states who are impacted. Here's what he had 0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:01.960 to say. And we've deployed more two hundred generators and 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:04.359 we're already moved into the region. They've been moved in 0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:08.240 ahead of time, and the administrator, Griswell and her team 0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:12.040 at FEMA is working getting more of those into the area. 0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:15.720 And we're in close contact with local electric providers to 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:18.800 see what they need. They're all private providers. We don't 0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:21.680 control that, but we're doing all we can to minimize 0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:23.320 the amount of time it's going to take to get 0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:27.120 power back up for everyone in the region. They said 0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:29.760 they've moved more than two hundred generators into the region 0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:32.480 and they're working to send in more. I actually talk 0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.080 to some people that are in Louisiana right now, how 0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.280 difficult it is to even try to get gas, to 0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:40.080 be able to drive anywhere from a gas station. How 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.400 hot it is and there's no power, so you don't 0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:44.760 have air conditioning, you don't have lights. So people are 0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:46.880 trying to figure out. People don't want to leave either. 0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:48.719 If you're there right now, I know some people are 0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:52.600 trying to stay, but you know, it's a difficult situation. 0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:55.800 I want to own under kid how they can prevent 0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:58.480 those things for happening, because you look at other neighborhoods, like, 0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:00.960 of course, I live in Jersey and I just remember 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:02.840 ten years ago there was areas they used to flood 0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:04.440 all the time during the rain. They used to be 0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.399 problems all the time, and they fixed it. They fixed it, 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.520 you know, the structure to make sure it didn't happen again. 0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.200 And I wonder why they don't do that in certain 0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:14.160 areas that flood all the time, like New Orleans, Louisiana 0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.520 or all. I think Jersey flooding a little different than 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.280 Louisiana flooding. Louisiana flooding is a lot more intense, a 0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:21.800 lot more. But if they know it's high, can't they 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:23.679 figure out how it's not. It's not like it's a surprise. 0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:25.960 They know what's going to happen. They evacuate people, so 0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:29.520 when they be able to install something in the infrastructure 0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:31.399 to make sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe it's just me. 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:33.520 I don't know, I'm you know, I'm just asking. Yeah, 0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:36.560 this has been an ongoing issue there so and even 0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:39.680 yeah for you know, they're trying to move these generators 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:41.120 there now for people to be able to have power. 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:43.440 I saw a man got attacked by an alligator. That's 0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:46.920 why in the water from the floods after Hurricane Ida. 0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.640 All right now, two people are dead and ten are 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.840 injured after a Mississippi highway washed away by heavy rain. 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:56.880 The incident occurred on Highway twenty six in George County, 0:28:57.520 --> 0:28:59.680 and the washout they said was likely related to the 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:02.320 rain from Hurricane Ida as well. More than fifty eight 0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:06.000 thousand people in Mississippi remain without power due to the storm. 0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:09.200 All Right, and South African researchers are keeping an eye 0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:13.640 on yet another new coronavirus variant. They're saying this one 0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:17.040 is called C one two. It's popped up across South 0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:20.080 Africa and other seven other countries in Africa, Asia and 0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:24.360 the Pacific. They're not sure whether it's constellation of mutations 0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.240 will make it more dangerous, but they said it has 0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:31.080 changes that have given other variants increased transmissibility and also 0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:34.520 the ability to evade the immune systems response to some degree. 0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:38.720 So they're saying that more mutations doesn't have to mean 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:42.040 more dangerous. Some mutations can weaken a virus, but we'll 0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:44.760 see what happens. They're keeping an eye on this new variant. 0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:47.920 Why does all of this sound like the Marvel Universe? 0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:51.840 I mean, mutations, invariants and all types of other stuff. Well, 0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:55.000 are the Avengers when we need them? My God? Is 0:29:55.920 --> 0:30:00.760 the avengers? The vaccine? I don't know, Senators, just imagine 0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.960 all these things happening at once, right we have, Yeah, 0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:06.480 it's just a lot like the Book of Revelation. To me, 0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:09.960 that is your front page about what everybody else doing. 0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:11.760 But you better find some healing and get right with God, 0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:15.480 because you know absolutely, I haven't found answers any place else. 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:20.280 It's been crazy. It's between COVID and the storms and 0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:22.160 all that. It's just it's just been crazy. My family 0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:23.680 just got back this morning, and they were supposed to 0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:26.479 be back when Saturday morning because the storms held them 0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.440 and it was sucked. So you better get them. You 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:32.240 better get the know God if you don't know. All 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:33.920 right now, when we come back, we got a special 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:37.760 guests joining us this morning. We have Ingrid Best joining us.

Whenever 0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.840 I need advice on something or how to negotiate a deal, 0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:01.000 She's the person I go to. So I want to 0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:02.560 talk about how you got to where you are because 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.160 I know that there's a lot of younger people who 0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:06.760 are watching, who are like, one day, I want to 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.400 be an executive like ingrid Is And how did she 0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:11.360 get to that point? And you work in the spirits industry, 0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:13.600 and you've been there in this industry for so long, 0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.520 and it might seem like just fun going to parties 0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:19.200 having drinks, but there's so much more that happens behind 0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:22.560 the scenes. So let's start with you started out at 0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:25.600 a young age and you had a promotions company. Yeah, 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.600 I started out actually doing street promotions. I worked for 0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:30.960 all the major record labels. I actually was on the 0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:34.520 Bad Boys Street Team for the Street Team to be 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:38.800 an executive big Yeah, those legendary campaigns like the Big 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:42.240 Macow And when you think about a lot of like 0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:46.480 the experiential agencies and activations now that came from a 0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:48.840 lot of street promotion and guerrilla marketing and they just 0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.360 kind of took our sauce and tried to make it 0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:53.680 their own. So a lot of what I do today 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.600 comes from a lot of those early learnings from my 0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:59.360 street promotions days. Very lost art by the way, Yeah, 0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:01.120 very much so, And it's a story that needs to 0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:02.840 be told. But yeah, I've been in the business for 0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:06.960 twenty years. I started as an ambassador. I launched a 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:11.520 little small brand for a really big company, and uh, 0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.480 that's where I found myself falling in love with this industry. 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.080 But the turning point for me in terms of my 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:21.120 spirit's career was really around the time that Puff made 0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:24.040 the deal with Sirok right, because it was the first 0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:26.080 time that we got to see black and brown people, 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.600 got to see someone you know, at that that had 0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:30.200 a seat at the table. He got a seat at 0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:32.320 the table for us, and that was really what kind 0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.080 of put the fire under me. I'm like, you know, this, 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:36.000 this is a real this is a career. You know, 0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:39.120 there's something here. And when I started, there was there 0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.520 were no black and brown people that I saw anyway, 0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:46.880 you know. I mean for me, it was the receptionist 0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:50.680 and maybe an assistant, but in terms of management level 0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.680 making decisions, they're just weren't people that look like us. 0:33:53.760 --> 0:33:56.480 So from from my very early start, I was like, 0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:58.640 you know, I'm I'm gonna mix this up and I'm 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:00.520 anna change. And so that's one of the things I've 0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:02.960 been committed to doing is making sure that black and 0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:05.800 brown people have representation in the spirits industry, which is 0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:09.359 why me and did he connect the way that we do, right, 0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.240 because that's always been his ambition as well. Now before 0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:14.600 you landed there, let's talk about your path in this 0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:17.600 spirit's business. Because you worked for a Boccardi, right, Was 0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:20.520 that your first? No? So, I've been in the game 0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:23.920 almost twenty years. I started out launching a brand for Diagio, 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.880 and then I went on to work for Diago for 0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:31.440 five or six years. I then was recruited by LVMH 0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:34.080 now for Diagio for people who don't know what Diagio is. 0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:37.680 They also are the company that explained how Diagio works, 0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.360 just for people who don't know. Yep, So full circle 0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:42.759 moment for me. I started at Diago and now I'm 0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:46.640 managing did He's partnership with Diagio. So Diago is our 0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:49.839 partner now on siroc and Delon. I worked with them 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:53.160 for five years. They're the biggest supplier in the world. 0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:56.560 They own most of the brands that people are enjoying 0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.200 at bars and at home. I then went on to 0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:02.200 work for I got recruited by LVMH for the moet 0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:06.719 Hennessee division. I started working across the portfolio wine spirits 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:11.680 both and Champagne and then worked on the Hennessee team. 0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:13.960 So when you've seen all that work where Hennessey really 0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:16.520 revitalized itself, that was a team that I worked on. 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.400 And then I worked on Belvedere try to help them 0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:23.360 get their act together. And then I got recruited actually 0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:27.160 from Jay's team at Rock Nation to come and oversee 0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:31.960 the joint venture for Boccarti and Jay on Douce. Boccarti 0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:35.640 is the parent company for Yes McCarty's a parent company 0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:38.840 for du Say and partnership with Jay. They co own it, 0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:42.279 and I basically oversaw all the marketing for du Say. 0:35:42.719 --> 0:35:45.279 And then I got a call from Diddy and the 0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:48.440 team at Comb's Enterprise, and you know, again a full 0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.600 circle moment. You know, when I think back to how 0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:53.520 I started my career, he was very much so his 0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:56.640 deal with Sirock was so influential because I was like, 0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:58.960 finally we got a piece of this thing. And so 0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:01.120 for me, it really is a full circle moment. And 0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:04.600 so now I'm the head of marketing for Comb's Enterprise. 0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:07.960 We oversee Sarak and DeLeon, and we're you know, looking 0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.480 at other brands to increase, you know, and grow our 0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:14.120 portfolio and it's just it's a it's incredible opportunity. Here 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:15.920 we talk about that for a second because people love 0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:19.120 to act like Diddy don't really own some of that 0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:22.520 Shaq and daileon, but he has ownership in it. Yeah 0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:26.759 for sure for Sarak. Listen, it's a mastermind you know, 0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:30.840 marketing partnership that he put together, and all over the 0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:34.640 world if you say Sarak, what people say is Diddy. Yeah. Um. 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:38.520 And so there's there's no denying the connectivity and the 0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:42.400 fact that he absolutely um is the anchor for that brand. 0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:46.120 And then with Delion again he predicted the intersection between 0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:50.480 culture and and tequila. No, no one really understood what 0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:52.440 was going to happen in that category the way that 0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:54.959 he did. Um. And he's a black man that owns 0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:58.359 a tequila and his partner is Diagio. Um. And it's 0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:00.600 big business. A lot of people don't realize. But the 0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:02.799 Spears business, which is why you see so many people 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:07.600 jumping in it is top hip hop hip hop artists 0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:09.920 every year. Yeah. I saw you posted a picture of 0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:12.799 your team that you have which is all black women, yes, 0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:15.359 which is unheard of in the spirits industry. Yeah. Yeah, 0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:17.680 we're we are the only team that looks like us. 0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:21.120 I have seven black women marketers that are incredible. They're 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:22.960 the best and the best. We can go toe to 0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:25.560 toe with anybody. So I'm kind of calling out the brand. 0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:28.920 They are what make me great. And both of the 0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:31.839 brands are growing double digits. It's no accident because these 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:34.880 women just get it right and they're hard working, and 0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:39.759 we look like the consumer we're talking to the versus battles. Yeah, yeah, 0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:42.120 we did we you know. And again that was another 0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.640 prediction on on Ditty's behalf where he was like, make 0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:48.719 that happen. I'm like done because he knew that that 0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:50.360 was just going to be such a big moment and 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.759 culture and it has proven to be and we've been 0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:54.759 at the center of that. All right. We have more 0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:57.080 with Ingrid Best. So we come back to don't move 0:37:57.160 --> 0:37:59.680 this to Breakfast Club morning. I want to everybody to 0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:03.160 see j Envy Angela Yee Charlomagne, the guy we all 0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:05.520 to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with ingd Best, 0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:08.560 the executive vice president and global head of marketing for 0:38:08.640 --> 0:38:13.959 Spirits and Combs Enterprises. We have Ingrid bestish yeeism. During 0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:17.520 this whole a sense to where you are now a lot. Yeah. 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:21.400 Part of why this position was so attractive to me 0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:23.920 was because I knew that I would be in a 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:26.200 situation to go back and grab a lot of those 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.399 young women that have been through situations like myself, where 0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:32.320 you know, you're not getting the appropriate titles, you're not 0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:35.959 being offered their appropriate packages, You're being asked to wait 0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:40.799 in the same positions much longer than your white counterparts. 0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:45.000 And it's obvious, like the treatment as obvious, and it's traumatizing, right. 0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:48.680 I think obviously the George Floyd moment and the moment 0:38:48.719 --> 0:38:52.759 with Black Lives Matter made companies realize that they were 0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:55.520 under the microscope. So you're starting to see them appoint folks, 0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:58.239 you know, kind of ask figureheads because they have to. 0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:01.200 They're like, Okay, we need a head of diverse and inclusion. Yeah, 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:07.400 and I don't. But it's also continue it. Yeah, right now, 0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:09.279 while we're under the microscope, we're gonna do this and 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:13.160 then we'll move away from it later. It can't be surface. 0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:16.600 And so I would say for those companies, I'm probably 0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:19.000 you know, they keep an eye on me because I'm 0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:21.120 so vocal about it, Like let's talk about it. There 0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:24.719 is racism in this industry, like there's racism in all industries, right. 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:28.279 I think the difference here is that your consumer is 0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:31.839 black and brown, and so you gotta do you gotta 0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:33.680 do the right thing, right, and we all have to 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:35.600 demand that they do the right thing. So it's good 0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:38.320 to see, uh, some of my peers that are finally 0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:41.880 getting positioned in the right places. And you know, my 0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:44.759 thing is like you gotta seat, go get everybody else 0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:47.120 and get them a seat, right, Like that's our responsibility. 0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:48.919 And so that's what I've done with the seven women 0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:51.719 that work for me, and they are incredible, you know. 0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:54.279 And that person don't know you also have a son, yes, 0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:56.759 and you had your signing pretty early, and you also 0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:59.040 had to work though and working in nightlife and working 0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:02.080 in spirits. It is a very time consuming job. It 0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:04.719 also requires travel, it requires you being out late. How 0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:07.359 was that balance for you? Yeah, you know it. Listen, 0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:09.400 I'm a teenage mom. I have my son at eighteen 0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:11.960 years old. The first thing I want to say is 0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:15.360 to all you teenage moms, there's nothing you cannot do. 0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.640 So for me, it was like the very very early on, 0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:20.799 I was like Okay, I have this mouth to feed. 0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:24.040 I have to figure this thing out. And so he 0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:28.160 certainly has been my reason. And it wasn't easy. It 0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:31.080 was it was my community, thank God for you know, 0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.920 his father and his father's family and my mom and 0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:38.040 my family and like your tribe. And I knew early 0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:40.920 on without my tribe, I wasn't going to really be 0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:43.600 able to balance like the love that I had for 0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:47.200 being an adult professional and a career person, but the 0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:50.440 responsibility that I had to being a parent. Did I 0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:53.080 reach away at Sway? Sue was one of your early mentors. Yeah, 0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:56.600 Sway is absolutely one of my early mentors. Yeah, I'm 0:40:56.600 --> 0:41:00.200 from the day. Yeah. Yeah. So I in turn for Way, 0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:06.279 and you know, my promotions, my street promotions career was 0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:09.520 because of Sway. So Sway had a street promotions company. 0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.440 I interned for him. I fell in love with it. 0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:15.120 I was really good with it. He kind of moved on, 0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:18.000 and that was really how we stepped in. I was like, yo, 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:20.320 I'm gonna take all your accounts. If you're okay with that, 0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:25.760 I'm going to take on. But yeah, I absolutely owe 0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:31.320 my connection to entertainment, my passion for it to Sway. 0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:33.920 And I tell him that as often as I can, 0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:37.640 I wish more young people now were in doing internships 0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:41.480 without my internship. There's a lot of things that I 0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:43.479 just wouldn't have been exposed to. And did he talks 0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:45.600 about that he was the intern. I was like, I'm 0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:47.320 willing to do anything to figure it out. And I 0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.680 think there's just so much value and interning and having 0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:52.640 people that you can look back. When I think back 0:41:52.640 --> 0:41:55.040 to Sway, I'm like, man, what would my life have 0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:58.720 been if I hadn't of met him, if I didn't intern? Remember, 0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:01.000 I had a kid as an intern to the problem 0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:02.680 now is that they make it too complicated to be 0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:04.880 an intern. Yeah, you got to be in school X 0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:06.360 like I wasn't. I didn't go to college, you know 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:08.800 what I mean? So what about those kids from the 0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.279 hood who just got dry or just got talent, Like 0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:14.120 they just need an opportunity right, Like where they're gonna 0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:16.160 get that from? Right? And that was me. Yeah. I 0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:19.080 don't think nobody sets the tone like like black women. 0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.560 I really truly honest, I feel like that. And I 0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:23.560 think that when you, especially as a black man, when 0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:26.520 you see a true black women, the first thing you 0:42:26.640 --> 0:42:29.439 think is because you're thinking to your mom, you're thinking 0:42:29.440 --> 0:42:32.000 to your grandma, you know, your sisters, whatever. I just 0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:35.600 think nobody sets the tone like black black women are incredible. 0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:40.239 We're super passionate, we are nurturing. So the other thing 0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:42.680 is like we take time to be human. We're not 0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:46.440 just employees, we're not robots. We very much so you know, 0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:51.000 zooms with my team, it's a moment. You know, sometimes 0:42:51.080 --> 0:42:54.840 we pray. Sometimes somebody's having a hard time, they may cry. 0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:57.239 But I'm gonna tell you one thing. They're gonna they're 0:42:57.280 --> 0:43:00.799 gonna bang out an incredible marketing plan. And I think 0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.400 you know, companies that have us at the helm, they 0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:06.160 see the difference. You know, we're putting up the numbers. 0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:10.640 We're making change. We have a beautiful way of recruiting 0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:14.239 right and influencing people want to work with us and 0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:16.800 for us, and it goes a long way and you 0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:19.320 see it in your business. I'm super proud of the 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.719 work that I see black women doing, especially the black 0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:24.359 women in leadership, and we look out for each other. 0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:27.040 But spekin of which we have this Black Excellence campaign 0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:30.879 that's going on with entrepreneurship and businesses. So I want 0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:32.680 to make sure that we talk about that and that's 0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:35.399 what SIAK and I'm involved in that as well. You are, 0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:38.800 and thank you so much. So we launched a campaign 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:42.759 in the middle of the pandemic called Sarak Stands, and 0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:45.360 it's really our opportunity to look, everyone knows that Siak 0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:48.839 is a brand that's about fun and celebration. Well, we're 0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:51.640 also a brand that's anchored in doing the right thing 0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:54.640 and being a voice right and it was important for 0:43:54.760 --> 0:43:56.719 us to make sure that people understand that you could 0:43:56.760 --> 0:43:59.400 have fun. You know, you can be a part of culture, 0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:01.440 but you can also be anchored in something. So we 0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:05.280 launched Shark Sands last year. We're kicking it off again 0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:09.160 um this month, and we purposely kicked it off towards 0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:13.600 the latter part of August because it's focused around black businesses. 0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:16.080 And so the assumption is, oh, they're doing this program 0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:18.279 for Black Business Month, and we're like, no, we we're 0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:21.239 doing programs for black businesses three hundred and sixty five 0:44:21.360 --> 0:44:24.000 days a year. We're working with you to interview some 0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.400 of those businesses and highlight some of those businesses. It 0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:29.680 was important to work with you because you are pioneering, 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:34.440 you know, your entrepreneurial journey as a black business owner 0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:37.240 and it's inspiring people, right, and so there's a connect 0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:40.560 connection there. So Siak stands, you know, it is just 0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:44.560 launching an initiative around black businesses. We're highlighting three businesses 0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:46.919 in New York, three businesses that happened to be owned 0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:49.640 by black women, which were really excited about. We work 0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:53.640 with some mentors to identify some of those, by the way, 0:44:53.680 --> 0:45:02.479 and Pantina's a mentor. As a mentor and our bust 0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.520 up here, yeah, but we we we identify folks that 0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.480 we thought could really help us pick some really dope 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:12.160 black businesses. So again it's our opportunities. And these business 0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:14.239 owners get to be on billboards. But they're all so 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:16.600 excited about when I spoke to them. That's the one 0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:19.120 thing that they're like, Sirak is paying for you to 0:45:19.160 --> 0:45:22.839 be on a billboard for your business. That's a big deal. Yeah. Yeah, 0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:26.280 And we are doing obviously above and beyond that investing 0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:30.200 making sure that these businesses you know, are profiled, right, 0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:33.680 But then we're also working with companies that can also 0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:36.480 help you know, other black businesses benefit from some of 0:45:36.560 --> 0:45:38.840 the things that we're doing. This is none of my business. 0:45:38.880 --> 0:45:41.520 I'm just asking because you're so dope, and I'm sure 0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:44.120 you're paid well, but you know, you helped build up 0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:46.600 so many of these brands. At some point somebody got 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.080 to say, well, hey, miss Ingrid, would you like se 0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:52.680 equity ownership as well? I love that. I'm actually glad 0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:56.040 you brought that up. My goal and what I will 0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:58.600 eventually do is on my own brand, and that's something 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.920 that Diddy and I have taught about. He's super supportive 0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:04.600 of it. I'm working on some things that have been 0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:07.440 passionate and near and dear to me um and he's like, 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:10.120 look when you when the time comes, we're gonna make 0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:13.040 it happen. And so ultimately my thing is like you 0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:16.719 take all these experiences and then you say I know 0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:18.960 how to do this, I'm a master at this, and 0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:20.920 then what is it that I'm passionate about? And so 0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:24.400 that's what eventually I think my path is going to 0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:28.440 lead as well. And did he is super supportive of it, 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:31.640 and and ultimately, like for him, he's like, that's the 0:46:31.719 --> 0:46:34.960 pinnacle right here. I came in, I did this marketing partnership, 0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:37.920 then I own this tequila. You know, I've had this 0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:41.160 legacy of having black women in leadership and ah, now 0:46:41.239 --> 0:46:44.280 I can actually also help someone kick off their dream. 0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:48.440 All right, well, Ingry, I appreciate you so much for coming.

But 0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:03.600 let's talk. Kanye's tenth studio album, Donda over sixty million 0:49:03.680 --> 0:49:05.520 streams in the US on Apple Music in the first 0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:08.080 twenty four hours. It set a twenty twenty one record 0:49:08.160 --> 0:49:11.080 for the streaming service, and it was the third highest 0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:14.759 total ever in that spand it also was number one 0:49:16.320 --> 0:49:19.040 and tapped a record one hundred and fifty two countries 0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:22.440 on Apple Music's album charts in its first twenty four hours, 0:49:23.040 --> 0:49:26.560 and it occupied nineteen of the top twenty spots on 0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:29.920 its daily Top one hundred global Songs charts. So all 0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:33.360 I've worked, all anticipation work, all of listening parties and 0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:36.440 the pushbacks and everything else worked on Spotify got more 0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:39.480 than ninety four million worldwide streams, the second most all 0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:43.719 time ever for Spotify. So congratulations to him. Now, there 0:49:43.800 --> 0:49:46.560 was a lot of drama, as you know, and one 0:49:46.640 --> 0:49:49.040 of the things that happened was Soldier Boy was upset 0:49:49.160 --> 0:49:52.640 that he was removed from the album. The verse that 0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:56.720 he did was cut from remote control. Here's a Soldier 0:49:56.760 --> 0:50:00.040 Boy talking about Kanye who didn't even tell him that 0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:02.040 he didn't put his verse on the album. It was 0:50:02.080 --> 0:50:04.480 just more of a thing to where it's blaming it 0:50:04.560 --> 0:50:06.520 to my fans, so where if they're not in the 0:50:06.600 --> 0:50:09.080 dark about the whole situation. He blamed it on Universal 0:50:09.120 --> 0:50:11.360 You saw that tweet as cow all the reason he 0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:13.440 said that, why you ain't said it before the outcome out? 0:50:13.800 --> 0:50:17.160 You wait time? Expressed myself on social media and then 0:50:17.239 --> 0:50:19.640 you made an excuse. I don't give a damn if 0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:22.239 he man, I don't care hypeel Hey man, you could 0:50:22.280 --> 0:50:24.520 have called me before everything. You couldn't called me and said, 0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:26.640 drakeco just the reason why you didn't make the album. 0:50:26.800 --> 0:50:29.759 TAMZ always catches up a Soldier Boys somehow. Now. He 0:50:29.840 --> 0:50:32.600 also posted he did the same ish on RoboCop on 0:50:32.640 --> 0:50:34.560 amber Rose was in the studio years ago. I hate 0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:37.759 working with this dude. He needs help seriously, and then 0:50:37.800 --> 0:50:40.799 he called him vagina. Well that's why you call him, 0:50:41.640 --> 0:50:43.319 he said, he does he could be the presidents at 0:50:43.360 --> 0:50:45.839 your goofy asked down somewhere. That's why I hope don't 0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:48.520 f well. I think he meant to right f with you, 0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:54.399 but he said f you. You don't have no right. 0:50:56.000 --> 0:50:59.960 I don't like your behavior, like Danny As had said, 0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:03.080 don't call my phone. No more weird ass and where 0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:06.520 That's why Kim left your bipolar ass. That's not cool, 0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:09.759 that's right, masson the brother healing energy man. All right, 0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:12.520 he went, and then he could call me at Kim 0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:16.160 Kardashian he playing too much. And he also put up 0:51:16.239 --> 0:51:35.319 his verse from remote control. Now, I don't know how 0:51:35.360 --> 0:51:37.480 the industry works. Do you have to give people phone 0:51:37.480 --> 0:51:39.319 calls when you remove them from records? Do you let 0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:41.200 them know? I mean, I think it's proper etiquette if 0:51:41.239 --> 0:51:43.399 you record a verse with somebody in an I will 0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:45.080 say this, A lot of artists don't know if they 0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:47.800 made an album or not until it comes out. And 0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:50.319 that's the truth, right, Like you might do a verse 0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:52.880 for somebody you don't know. And then we've had artists 0:51:52.960 --> 0:51:54.520 up here all the time who like I recorded one 0:51:54.560 --> 0:51:57.480 hundred songs, I only put twelve on the album, you know, 0:51:57.600 --> 0:51:59.520 And sometimes but if they put out a version of 0:51:59.600 --> 0:52:01.279 a song that you will own and you're not on it, 0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:03.439 I think it's only right to have a conversation. I think. 0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:07.560 I mean, I can't say, but he did share their 0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:10.680 text messages back and forth. You know it would be nice, 0:52:10.960 --> 0:52:14.319 but it doesn't always happen. And that's just the truth. 0:52:14.640 --> 0:52:16.839 I'm sure that there's a ton of artists who did 0:52:16.960 --> 0:52:20.239 versus that didn't make it onto the album, right, and 0:52:20.400 --> 0:52:22.200 you don't know who it comes out. Just send them 0:52:22.280 --> 0:52:25.120 healing energy, soldier boy, That's all all right now. Twenty 0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:28.000 one Savage is speaking on owning his masters and he 0:52:28.040 --> 0:52:30.400 said he makes more money off album sales than touring. 0:52:31.480 --> 0:52:33.880 I had a platinum album before I signed my idea. 0:52:34.080 --> 0:52:37.480 You had to play in them independent, you owned you?

We look forward to all the 0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:53.800 opportunities this creates as we deepen our commitment to investing 0:53:53.840 --> 0:53:58.680 in entertainment, So congratulations to them all right. Now, TI's 0:53:58.719 --> 0:54:01.600 daughter Deja Harris, was talking about not liking her hair 0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:04.600 texture and I saw a lot of people commenting and 0:54:04.680 --> 0:54:07.080 a lot of back and forth about it. This was 0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:09.200 on Friday. She opened up about her struggles and how 0:54:09.280 --> 0:54:10.759 she didn't like her texture. She said, I hate to 0:54:10.800 --> 0:54:14.320 say it, Slash admitted, but I'm so sad that I 0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:17.040 have my dad's hair texture. Sad because it's so much 0:54:17.080 --> 0:54:19.080 to deal with manage, Sad because I feel like it 0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:21.160 just doesn't fit me nor as this texture one that's 0:54:21.160 --> 0:54:25.000 appreciated or uplifted as much as the other textures. And 0:54:25.080 --> 0:54:27.319 then she said, anytime I see someone with type four hair, 0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:29.800 I always compliment them because I know how it feels 0:54:29.800 --> 0:54:32.880 to genuinely not like your hair, slash texture. I never 0:54:32.960 --> 0:54:35.560 want anyone to feel like that. It looks so bomb 0:54:35.680 --> 0:54:38.880 on other people but me, Yeah no. So a lot 0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:42.440 of people did come to her defense and feel like 0:54:42.480 --> 0:54:46.320 they could relate and understand that, and some people felt like, 0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:50.120 you know, they criticize her for opening up about her hair. 0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:53.400 She's saying saying that she's focusing on positive comments rather 0:54:53.480 --> 0:54:56.160 than the negative ones. But she said, I'm actually focusing 0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:58.560 on the uplifting positive comments as opposed to the negative. 0:54:58.600 --> 0:55:00.919 Their tweet was only about myself, but I was open 0:55:00.960 --> 0:55:03.160 about how I fail because I know others might possibly 0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:06.800 be able to relate, and some of them did listen. 0:55:06.920 --> 0:55:09.000 I feel her though, because you know, my whole life 0:55:09.040 --> 0:55:11.520 growing up, I used to hate my hair texture. That's 0:55:11.560 --> 0:55:13.600 why I've been doing this natural hair journey to try 0:55:13.640 --> 0:55:15.600 to get my curls back straight. And it was just 0:55:15.680 --> 0:55:17.400 a lot to deal with. It would always be like 0:55:17.840 --> 0:55:20.320 you wash it, and then your hair when it's curly, 0:55:20.400 --> 0:55:22.200 it gets all naughty real fast. They didn't have a 0:55:22.239 --> 0:55:24.440 lot of hair products to be able to use for 0:55:24.560 --> 0:55:26.520 you to be able to deal with you here. Now 0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:28.839 there's a ton of products on the market, which is great. Yeah, 0:55:29.000 --> 0:55:32.720 people celebrate natural hair, but it is and sometimes certain 0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:35.239 hair textures are just a lot more difficult to even 0:55:35.320 --> 0:55:38.520 try to deal with, like to style and maintain. And 0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:40.320 that's why you know I got I got three daughters. 0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:42.000 Like I told my daughters all the time, I love 0:55:42.120 --> 0:55:44.640 your hair. I love your crown like I love them. 0:55:44.640 --> 0:55:46.239 My wife takes day braids out and they got the 0:55:46.320 --> 0:55:48.880 big afros running around the house. Plus, there's a lot 0:55:48.960 --> 0:55:51.920 of children's books out there that celebrate the beauty of 0:55:52.600 --> 0:55:55.480 black hair. Nowadays, you got like my big natural Hair. 0:55:55.640 --> 0:55:59.280 But what's her name? I think it's CJ. CJ. Baker, 0:55:59.760 --> 0:56:04.160 but didn't have that coming up. I'm saying it's great now, 0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:06.000 but I can understand and a lot of women can't 0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:09.160 understand the struggles that we've had to go through with 0:56:09.320 --> 0:56:12.239 our hair. That's why even having certain products in these 0:56:12.280 --> 0:56:14.719 stores now on the shelves and accessible to people is 0:56:14.760 --> 0:56:18.359 so important. Hello, Hello boy, Matthew Cherry Slut the Matthew Cherry. 0:56:18.760 --> 0:56:20.239 Because a lot of a lot of books out there 0:56:20.280 --> 0:56:22.600 that reinforced the beauty of black hair. And if you've 0:56:22.640 --> 0:56:24.480 got daughters like I do, I would encourage you to 0:56:24.520 --> 0:56:27.400 buy them all.

So they announced I'll live this on 0:56:45.640 --> 0:56:48.960 social media all right. I'm Angela Yee and that is 0:56:49.000 --> 0:56:51.200 your room of reports. All right, thank you, miss Ye, 0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:53.480 and let me shout out to everybody that called me yesterday. 0:56:53.480 --> 0:56:55.040 Oh wait, yeah, we gotta get into that, because we 0:56:55.080 --> 0:56:56.759 didn't even do that. When we were talking about you. 0:56:56.920 --> 0:56:59.960 We talked about Kanye's Donda album and how well it did, 0:57:00.440 --> 0:57:02.480 and you had some missues with Kanye. You called them 0:57:02.560 --> 0:57:04.719 clowns sometimes. I called him a clown and I still 0:57:04.719 --> 0:57:07.239 stand by that, and I still mean that send them 0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:09.440 healing energy. No, look, I mean I do, but I 0:57:09.480 --> 0:57:11.000 still think he's a clown. You can send the clown 0:57:11.040 --> 0:57:14.680 healing energy. But so funny now, so when it comes 0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:19.000 to so many people call me artists, athletes, OG's newer artist, 0:57:19.080 --> 0:57:23.120 younger artists, Kanye's team and ask me why I felt 0:57:23.160 --> 0:57:24.680 that way, and I explained to him why I felt 0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:26.680 that way, and you know, they asked me, well, why 0:57:26.760 --> 0:57:28.800 do you think that the people that I name, which 0:57:28.840 --> 0:57:32.040 was push your t John Monopoly are free and Boo 0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:34.120 were like that too, because I felt, like I said, 0:57:34.200 --> 0:57:36.120 I feel like you enable him to do it, like 0:57:36.280 --> 0:57:39.080 you don't stop him from doing the wild out stuff 0:57:39.120 --> 0:57:41.960 behind the scenes that I think is really disrespectful. And 0:57:42.720 --> 0:57:44.680 he should be humbled. And they told me that that's 0:57:44.720 --> 0:57:46.520 a lie. It was like that it's not true. They 0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:48.800 was like, when you're dealing with somebody with that has 0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:52.960 imaginal problems and bipolar and things like that, you can't 0:57:53.040 --> 0:57:56.640 necessarily control them. It's uncontrollable. You do what you can 0:57:57.200 --> 0:57:58.960 to make sure that things are right, and they try 0:57:58.960 --> 0:58:00.640 to stay in there as a brother. They said, yeah, 0:58:00.680 --> 0:58:02.720 they agree some of the things that he does is foul, 0:58:02.840 --> 0:58:05.400 but they said they can't control that, man. And I 0:58:05.480 --> 0:58:07.120 called them clowns as well, And I called push you 0:58:07.160 --> 0:58:09.960 to yesterday. I called Free yesterday and I spoke to 0:58:10.200 --> 0:58:12.040 Boo yesterday for a while that I spoke to them, man, 0:58:12.080 --> 0:58:14.840 we had great conversations and they told me what they're 0:58:14.880 --> 0:58:17.760 trying to do that help that situation. So to those brothers, yes, 0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:20.160 I get it, and me calling your clown was foul. 0:58:20.960 --> 0:58:22.640 But I still think Kanye, it's a clown for the 0:58:22.680 --> 0:58:24.320 things that if you ever had to deal with somebody 0:58:24.360 --> 0:58:27.040 who's bipolar and not taking their medication, it is not 0:58:27.160 --> 0:58:28.880 an easy thing to do. If you love them, you 0:58:28.960 --> 0:58:31.320 try to help and be around, but it is hard 0:58:31.400 --> 0:58:34.360 to control a person. I just want to know how 0:58:34.400 --> 0:58:35.600 do you explain to your wife that she was on 0:58:35.640 --> 0:58:38.160 the phone somebody named Boo for hours? Because as soon 0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:39.480 as she says who you're on the phone. When you 0:58:39.560 --> 0:58:42.680 say Boo, do you have to explain that this is 0:58:42.720 --> 0:58:46.040 his name? Who was always in the middle of time? 0:58:46.040 --> 0:58:49.320 That remember he broke up your fight, Charlottagne, we'll fight 0:58:49.360 --> 0:58:52.640 ahead and had no fight. Why don't we lie like 0:58:52.720 --> 0:58:56.120 this on the radio? A picture of it online? So 0:58:56.560 --> 0:59:03.400 I did have with dancing when I was dancing with Booth, 0:59:05.280 --> 0:59:07.880 shout shout the bull and shout to Free. I just 0:59:07.880 --> 0:59:09.600 speak to Free. Me and Free just yelled at each other. 0:59:09.640 --> 0:59:11.520 But spot shout all them individuals that you know, we're 0:59:11.560 --> 0:59:13.200 able to tell me their side. And you know when 0:59:13.200 --> 0:59:15.200 I tell them, you know when I make mistakes, I 0:59:15.280 --> 0:59:17.360 say it, but I still think what Kanye does And 0:59:18.600 --> 0:59:20.720 you ain't gonna throw your yeez. He's away though, no 0:59:20.880 --> 0:59:28.120 So like so the clown shoes, which ones?

Oh. He admitted 1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:56.320 the fourteen charges, including but not limited to, kidnapping, assault, 1:00:56.440 --> 1:00:59.440 threatening with a handgun, all types of stuff. Why oh 1:00:59.600 --> 1:01:03.240 why I did Rodney do this? Who did Rodney do this? Too? Well, 1:01:03.280 --> 1:01:05.240 before we get into that, let me just say that. 1:01:05.320 --> 1:01:09.720 I once heard someone say sometimes you have to fake 1:01:09.760 --> 1:01:13.080 a suicide to get your girl back. When I heard that, 1:01:13.120 --> 1:01:15.200 I understood where a person was coming from, because I 1:01:15.280 --> 1:01:17.680 too have felt like I wanted to make a permanent 1:01:17.760 --> 1:01:20.320 decision based off temporary feelings back in the day when 1:01:20.400 --> 1:01:22.760 my now wife broke up with me. I don't know 1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:25.080 if I really wanted to complete suicide. I just know 1:01:25.200 --> 1:01:27.200 that I felt like the sky was falling and I 1:01:27.320 --> 1:01:29.280 wanted my woman back, and I felt like making her 1:01:29.320 --> 1:01:31.360 feel sorry for me would work. I know, I know 1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:34.800 toxic is out, all right. Thank God for therapy, growth 1:01:34.880 --> 1:01:37.240 and healing. Thank you God, Thank you God. Well, this 1:01:37.360 --> 1:01:41.000 guy Rodney mentions him he definitely needs me healing, okay, 1:01:41.240 --> 1:01:43.720 and he's no different all right. Actually, Rodney, in an 1:01:43.720 --> 1:01:47.400 attempt to gain sympathy from his ex wife, he jumped 1:01:47.440 --> 1:01:52.000 out the window because first he faked the cancer diagnosis. See, 1:01:52.160 --> 1:01:53.880 I don't play like that, all right. You turned out 1:01:53.880 --> 1:01:55.400 to be what you pretend to be. I'm not playing 1:01:55.400 --> 1:01:59.040 about having no cancer, okay. Well, according to Sheriff's Office 1:02:00.000 --> 1:02:03.840 Sheriff's Office investigators, that plan didn't work. AKA, his wife 1:02:03.880 --> 1:02:06.160 didn't give a damn Okay. Ex wife probably heard the 1:02:06.240 --> 1:02:08.120 news and said, I'm gonna send him healing energy and 1:02:08.240 --> 1:02:11.280 kept her day moving. So Rodney divised another plan, this 1:02:11.440 --> 1:02:14.680 one even more diabolical than the first. See Rodney Metser 1:02:14.920 --> 1:02:19.680 decided to devise the plan the kidnap and save his 1:02:19.840 --> 1:02:22.200 ex wife in a bid to win her back. Listen 1:02:22.240 --> 1:02:24.720 to what I just said. Rodney mets Her divised the 1:02:24.800 --> 1:02:28.920 plan the kidnap and save his ex wife in a 1:02:29.000 --> 1:02:31.640 way to win her back. Now back on January first 1:02:31.640 --> 1:02:34.080 of this year, I guess Rodney's ex wife was on 1:02:34.160 --> 1:02:36.400 some New Year and New Me energy and when Rodney 1:02:36.480 --> 1:02:38.760 tried to get back with her, she denied him. So 1:02:39.000 --> 1:02:43.400 Rodney came up with this plan, the kidnap and safe 1:02:44.080 --> 1:02:46.520 his ex wife in a bid to win her back. 1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:49.040 But not just to kidnapper, all right. He wanted to 1:02:49.080 --> 1:02:52.840 kidnapper and save her. Okay, just like a man. Right. 1:02:52.920 --> 1:02:55.320 Ladies want to be both the problem and the solution. 1:02:55.760 --> 1:02:58.160 When the reality is, when you toxic like Rodney, you 1:02:58.280 --> 1:03:00.600 just the problem. But I'm not judging. I'm sending him 1:03:00.600 --> 1:03:03.680 healing energy. Okay, listen to this story. Rodney broke into 1:03:03.800 --> 1:03:07.360 his ex wife's house wearing a mask and displaying a gun. 1:03:07.760 --> 1:03:10.160 When he spoke, he described his voice all right. He 1:03:10.240 --> 1:03:11.840 hit her with the butt of the gun, tried to 1:03:11.880 --> 1:03:16.040 scramble her two times. He zip tied her hands, assaulted her, 1:03:16.280 --> 1:03:19.000 placed the pillowcase over her head, and dragged her to 1:03:19.080 --> 1:03:20.840 the deck and told her if she moved from the 1:03:20.960 --> 1:03:23.919 deck she would be shot. Then Rodney went to change 1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:27.920 his clothes and came back to his ex wife's house, 1:03:28.280 --> 1:03:30.840 trying to be hero and called the police. Now, Rodney 1:03:30.920 --> 1:03:33.760 Metris couldn't have denied this if he tried. Evidence in 1:03:33.840 --> 1:03:37.440 the case was substantial, okay. Cherokee County Sheriff's found the 1:03:37.520 --> 1:03:40.840 handgun and Metor's apartment, as well as zip ties that 1:03:40.920 --> 1:03:44.680 matched the one found on his ex wife. Investigators also 1:03:44.760 --> 1:03:47.720 saw Rodney on surveillance video carrying a package of zip 1:03:47.800 --> 1:03:52.200 ties out of a local lows all right. Rodney's cell 1:03:52.240 --> 1:03:56.400 phone in laptop search history, revealed to investigators that he 1:03:56.520 --> 1:04:00.400 searched such topics as how long before you start to death, 1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:03.560 how to change the sound of your voice, and how 1:04:03.600 --> 1:04:06.160 long it takes to choke someone unconscious. I couldn't make 1:04:06.200 --> 1:04:08.800 this up if I tried. Not granted that, how long 1:04:08.880 --> 1:04:10.720 before you starve. The death is what most men who 1:04:10.760 --> 1:04:12.920 lose their wives google because they can't cook, and a 1:04:12.960 --> 1:04:15.320 man cannot live off Chick fil a alone. All right? Now, 1:04:15.440 --> 1:04:18.600 Da Rachel ashe who prosecuted the case, said Rodney mets 1:04:18.640 --> 1:04:21.920 her as a master manipulator. I believe that as an understatement. 1:04:22.080 --> 1:04:24.919 And it's also very interesting to me that men will 1:04:24.960 --> 1:04:27.280 figure out all these ways to get all women back 1:04:27.320 --> 1:04:29.400 when we lose them. But the one thing we need 1:04:29.480 --> 1:04:32.640 to do when we are together, it's just act right. Okay, 1:04:33.200 --> 1:04:36.320 It's really not that difficult. Just simply act right when 1:04:36.360 --> 1:04:39.800 you together, which said lady, and maybe y'all still be together. Now. 1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:43.200 I know certain circumstances lead you to do certain things, 1:04:43.280 --> 1:04:46.040 but that woman's intuition at some point kicked in and 1:04:46.200 --> 1:04:48.760 she realized I got to get away from this human 1:04:48.880 --> 1:04:51.640 Rodney before his trauma kills the both of us. And 1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:55.880 guess what you did, Rodney prove her right. Okay, your 1:04:55.920 --> 1:04:58.960 ex wife was absolutely correct in leaving your ass because you, 1:04:59.120 --> 1:05:02.760 my friend, are sociopath. Now, Rodney Mitsche has been sentenced 1:05:03.640 --> 1:05:07.280 by Judge Anthony Anthony Baker the seventy years okay, with 1:05:07.360 --> 1:05:09.720 the first twenty five years to be served in confinement 1:05:09.920 --> 1:05:12.440 and the remaining forty five to be served on probation. 1:05:14.360 --> 1:05:16.120 Let me tell ya something, man, when you love something, 1:05:16.200 --> 1:05:18.560 let it go. If it comes back to you, then 1:05:18.600 --> 1:05:21.680 it's meant to be all right, it's yours. Nope. But 1:05:21.840 --> 1:05:24.120 also when you love something, let it go. And if 1:05:24.160 --> 1:05:25.680 you have to come up with criminal plans to get 1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:28.880 said thing back, remember the first part, Let it go 1:05:29.280 --> 1:05:31.640 and let it stay. Go on. Please let mmy may 1:05:31.680 --> 1:05:35.200 give Rodney Metscher the biggest he are he ha, he ha, 1:05:35.800 --> 1:05:44.520 You stupid mother? Are you dumb? M wow?

I mean no, no, we go all out 1:05:50.680 --> 1:05:52.200 to get up back, but don't go all out to 1:05:52.280 --> 1:05:55.400 keep it when we together, right, that's ridiculous. Okay, just 1:05:55.600 --> 1:05:58.400 do right while you're with her and you won't have 1:05:58.480 --> 1:06:00.720 to put yourself in these type of situations. This is 1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:04.120 extreme though, I mean, come on, you think yeah, I 1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:06.920 think it's extremely Man.

All Rodney meted this guy from Georgia who 1:07:12.680 --> 1:07:15.120 first he faked cancer, a cancer diagnosis to get his 1:07:15.200 --> 1:07:17.600 ex wife back. When that didn't work, he divided the 1:07:17.680 --> 1:07:21.440 plan the kidnap and save her. So he kidnapped her, 1:07:21.760 --> 1:07:24.040 then left the house, came back dressed in some other 1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:26.760 clothes and called the police and untied her and stuff 1:07:26.800 --> 1:07:29.640 like he was the hero and how much time he 1:07:29.680 --> 1:07:32.240 got seventy years twenty five in prison, forty five on 1:07:32.360 --> 1:07:34.960 herbation goodn'tess gracious? All right? So we're asking, what's the 1:07:35.040 --> 1:07:36.800 craziest thing you've done to get your girl back or 1:07:36.840 --> 1:07:39.040 to try to get your girl back? Charlemagne, I mean 1:07:39.160 --> 1:07:42.160 just fake suicide? Regular? Yeah, I mean that wasn't a 1:07:42.200 --> 1:07:44.480 fake suicide. I just said I'm gonna kill myself if 1:07:44.680 --> 1:07:46.680 you're not with me, or something like that, something along 1:07:46.760 --> 1:07:49.880 those those lines. What about for you, ye, what's what's 1:07:49.880 --> 1:07:52.160 the craziest thing a guy has done to you? I 1:07:52.160 --> 1:07:54.320 actually have to get a restraining order. This guy used 1:07:54.320 --> 1:07:57.200 to my ex boyfriend, used to stop me all the 1:07:57.280 --> 1:07:59.240 time I would come home. He'd be waiting outside the 1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:01.480 house as soon as I walked up. He'd be waiting 1:08:01.520 --> 1:08:03.440 outside my job. It was like everywhere I went. So 1:08:03.480 --> 1:08:05.360 I ended up having to get a restraining order and 1:08:06.160 --> 1:08:07.600 we had to go to court. Then he tried to 1:08:08.040 --> 1:08:10.040 sit next to me in court. I think one of 1:08:10.080 --> 1:08:13.000 the craziest thing is I think I called my wife's mother. Yeah, 1:08:13.040 --> 1:08:15.120 I called my wife's mother, called my wife's brother before 1:08:15.600 --> 1:08:17.120 try to talk to them. To them, I thought that 1:08:17.240 --> 1:08:20.519 was wild. That's not really wild. I'll tell you one thing. 1:08:21.120 --> 1:08:24.160 Saying you're gonna commit suicide, thing, don't try that with 1:08:24.240 --> 1:08:26.400 a woman that's healed and whole, because a woman that's 1:08:26.439 --> 1:08:28.400 healed and whole is gonna tell you I wish you 1:08:28.520 --> 1:08:30.800 healing energy. I wish you healing energy, and that don't 1:08:30.840 --> 1:08:32.760 have nothing to do with me. Don't put that on me. 1:08:32.960 --> 1:08:35.920 Correct and boy, that right there, it'll it'll mean, it'll 1:08:36.320 --> 1:08:38.120 bring you back to reality. And I've been there. I 1:08:38.200 --> 1:08:39.920 wrote about it in the book that comes up next year, 1:08:40.000 --> 1:08:41.400 how I felt, what got me to the lowest point 1:08:41.439 --> 1:08:43.320 where I didn't want to be here anymore. And I 1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:45.200 take it serious. So when people ever say that they 1:08:45.280 --> 1:08:47.679 want to commit suicide, I take it extremely serious because 1:08:47.680 --> 1:08:49.320 you don't know what they're dealing with. You just never know. 1:08:49.439 --> 1:08:51.120 And that's why I said, when you know I was, 1:08:51.160 --> 1:08:53.400 I said during Dunkey, the day that my homeboy once said, 1:08:53.640 --> 1:08:55.840 you know you have sometimes you gotta fake suicide to 1:08:55.880 --> 1:08:58.640 get your girl back, And you know, I don't know 1:08:58.920 --> 1:09:02.240 if it's a face, because you really do feel like 1:09:02.400 --> 1:09:04.559 that when you're in that position, you really do feel 1:09:04.600 --> 1:09:06.559 like if I can't be with this woman, I would 1:09:06.640 --> 1:09:08.880 rather not be here. Now. That is a I was 1:09:09.040 --> 1:09:11.320 much way way younger when this, when this happened, and 1:09:11.439 --> 1:09:13.519 you know, I had a lot of healing that I 1:09:13.600 --> 1:09:15.280 needed to do on my own. But yes, you do 1:09:15.479 --> 1:09:17.240 get to that point where you feel that way. Yeah, 1:09:17.560 --> 1:09:19.519 all right, but let's go to the phone. Lies.

I don't know if you want 1:16:32.720 --> 1:16:34.840 her calling your daddy after you hear this r Kelly 1:16:34.880 --> 1:16:38.479 tarling from you gotta make everything weak because we're about 1:16:38.520 --> 1:16:46.960 to talk about this. Al let's do it. Listen, gott 1:16:48.960 --> 1:16:52.679 it's report for Breakfast Club. Well, this r Kelly trial 1:16:52.920 --> 1:16:57.320 is continuing in Brooklyn, and yesterday the first man who 1:16:57.439 --> 1:16:59.920 was actually accusing r Kelly took the stand. He's going 1:17:00.200 --> 1:17:03.240 under the name Lewis, and so what he says happens 1:17:03.360 --> 1:17:06.400 is that he met r Kelly at a McDonald's and 1:17:07.160 --> 1:17:09.840 he sexually assaulted him when he was seventeen years old. 1:17:09.840 --> 1:17:12.120 He said r Kelly invited him over to a music studio, 1:17:12.200 --> 1:17:15.080 but instead brought him to his house and actually performed 1:17:15.200 --> 1:17:17.160 earl sex on him. He said, he was working the 1:17:17.200 --> 1:17:19.960 overnight shift back in two thousand and six at a 1:17:20.080 --> 1:17:23.360 suburb in Chicago. R Kelly was thirty nine years old 1:17:23.439 --> 1:17:26.880 at the time, and according to quote Lewis, he said that, 1:17:27.800 --> 1:17:30.240 you know, he invited him to come to his home 1:17:30.800 --> 1:17:33.000 in another suburb of Chicago. When he got there, they 1:17:33.120 --> 1:17:36.559 met in a detached garage where r Kelly had exercised 1:17:36.600 --> 1:17:39.160 equipment and a boxing ring, rather than in one of 1:17:39.200 --> 1:17:40.920 the studios that he had in the house. He asked 1:17:40.960 --> 1:17:43.320 me what I was willing to do for music now. 1:17:43.439 --> 1:17:46.800 Louis said he would carry his bags and things like that, 1:17:46.920 --> 1:17:49.439 but he said R. Kelly was unreceptive. Then he asked 1:17:49.479 --> 1:17:51.760 him if he had any fantasies and quoted r. Kelly 1:17:51.800 --> 1:17:54.800 as in, you never had fantasies about men? I said no, 1:17:55.240 --> 1:17:57.200 Louis continued, and then he crawled down on his knees 1:17:57.200 --> 1:17:59.400 and proceeded to give me oral sex. He zipped my 1:17:59.479 --> 1:18:02.280 pants down and he started doing it. Now. He also 1:18:02.400 --> 1:18:06.400 said that he didn't have any type of reaction to 1:18:06.520 --> 1:18:10.200 the oral sex, So I guess R Kelly stopped and 1:18:10.520 --> 1:18:12.519 he asked him to stop, and then he said he 1:18:12.640 --> 1:18:15.280 swore Lewis to secrecy he said, don't tell anyone we're 1:18:15.360 --> 1:18:18.160 brothers now. He said he continued to see r Kelly 1:18:18.200 --> 1:18:20.200 after that he wanted to be mentored for his music career, 1:18:20.200 --> 1:18:22.479 and when they asked him why, he continued, you know, 1:18:22.640 --> 1:18:24.560 he said he just was really trying to make it 1:18:24.640 --> 1:18:27.040 in the music business. And he said on subsequent occasions, 1:18:27.479 --> 1:18:30.400 r Kelly would record some of their encounters while he 1:18:30.520 --> 1:18:32.960 was sexually abusing him, and he asked that he called 1:18:33.040 --> 1:18:36.880 him daddy. Other women have also testified that r Kelly 1:18:36.960 --> 1:18:40.000 recorded their sexual encounters and demanded that they call him daddy. Previously, 1:18:40.080 --> 1:18:43.120 he said as his relationship with him got stronger, he said, 1:18:43.120 --> 1:18:45.160 I was like a brother, that was his little brother. 1:18:45.240 --> 1:18:48.960 And he tried to bribe another r Kelly accuser so 1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:51.360 she wouldn't testify against him. So just a lot of 1:18:51.400 --> 1:18:53.960 different things. And then he also discussed an incident of 1:18:54.120 --> 1:18:56.720 non consensual sex that involved another person. He said r 1:18:56.800 --> 1:18:59.000 Kelly snapped his fingers and a young lady came out 1:18:59.280 --> 1:19:02.360 from underneath a boxing ring and crawled over to him 1:19:02.360 --> 1:19:05.000 and started performing oral sex in both him and r Kelly. 1:19:05.040 --> 1:19:07.679 He said it was uncomfortable, and he also said another 1:19:07.720 --> 1:19:09.519 time he passed out from drinking at a party and 1:19:09.600 --> 1:19:11.840 he woke up alone with r Kelly, unsure whether or 1:19:11.880 --> 1:19:16.120 not they had a sexual encounter. So this trial is 1:19:16.160 --> 1:19:19.080 continuing on. Will continue to give you updates as they're 1:19:19.120 --> 1:19:23.640 in court today as well. But ongoing theme here. He 1:19:23.720 --> 1:19:26.519 had the women and now this first male sexual accuser 1:19:26.520 --> 1:19:28.599 who said he was groomed from from the age of seventeen, 1:19:29.479 --> 1:19:33.439 calling him daddy, recording these sexual encounters wearing people to secrecy. 1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:36.559 Another woman says that r Kelly assaulted her days after 1:19:36.640 --> 1:19:39.559 allegedly marrying Aliyah in secret. He said she was seventeen 1:19:39.640 --> 1:19:43.439 at the time. And you know, she said. R Kelly 1:19:43.479 --> 1:19:45.360 had two men approach her and her nineteen year old 1:19:45.400 --> 1:19:48.160 friend after the show, and as the dressing room cleared out, 1:19:48.600 --> 1:19:50.240 he asked the girls to play a game of who 1:19:50.280 --> 1:19:53.040 could kiss it better, and then the girls kissed him 1:19:53.040 --> 1:19:56.120 before he unzipped her pants and had unprotected sexual intercourse 1:19:56.160 --> 1:19:57.920 at her. How was none of this on TV? I 1:19:57.960 --> 1:19:59.800 would think that, you know, for all the coverage that 1:20:00.360 --> 1:20:02.920 you know, given R Kelly and you know, these these 1:20:03.040 --> 1:20:05.599 these things over the years, that the court trial would 1:20:05.600 --> 1:20:08.400 be on television, right. I'm not sure why they haven't 1:20:08.439 --> 1:20:10.479 put it on TV. But we told you previously that 1:20:10.560 --> 1:20:12.400 a lot of people aren't allowed in the courtroom right 1:20:12.400 --> 1:20:15.720 now because of COVID and for whatever other reasons that 1:20:15.800 --> 1:20:17.799 they have. So it's just the jurors and the alternate 1:20:17.880 --> 1:20:21.720 jurors that are in there as well. All right now, 1:20:21.880 --> 1:20:25.040 another drama Summer. Walker and London on the track have 1:20:25.200 --> 1:20:27.800 had a going back and forth on social media that's 1:20:27.880 --> 1:20:31.400 really messy, and she has called him the ghetto baby 1:20:31.520 --> 1:20:34.360 daddy from hell. She went on social media and said, 1:20:34.400 --> 1:20:37.200 London calling and dming everyone around me because he's blocked 1:20:37.520 --> 1:20:40.639 talking about If you care about Summer, get that away 1:20:40.720 --> 1:20:42.360 from her. So if anything happens to me it was 1:20:42.479 --> 1:20:44.479 him ghetto baby daddy from hell, I'd be minding my 1:20:44.600 --> 1:20:46.960 business and never call him unless it's about the well 1:20:47.000 --> 1:20:49.760 being of my child. Here's what else she had to say. 1:20:50.320 --> 1:20:55.200 Yo was terrorizing me for two years, bro. Because I 1:20:55.360 --> 1:21:00.360 was with it. I gave him back. I tried as 1:21:00.439 --> 1:21:03.560 best as I could to keep him involved with his 1:21:03.680 --> 1:21:07.160 children's lives. Brought you here, didn't even tell you. She 1:21:07.280 --> 1:21:09.080 didn't even tell you. I was there. He was mad 1:21:09.560 --> 1:21:12.000 and we talked. I'm like, surely I had no problem 1:21:12.000 --> 1:21:13.680 with you. I want to be good. Let's you know 1:21:13.840 --> 1:21:16.000 our kids, they can grow up together. I can't wait 1:21:16.080 --> 1:21:18.599 till she paris come over to the playroom. Blah blah 1:21:18.600 --> 1:21:21.479 blah nah. Because she was my baby, daddy, you still 1:21:21.560 --> 1:21:23.719 wanted to fight. I don't want to fight any you host. 1:21:24.360 --> 1:21:26.679 So she's talking about all the baby moms that she's 1:21:26.720 --> 1:21:29.280 had to deal with, and she also posted I'd be 1:21:29.360 --> 1:21:32.080 trying so hard to mind my business. And she said, 1:21:32.080 --> 1:21:33.920 and come get this car. I don't want nothing from you. 1:21:34.439 --> 1:21:36.519 And this ish ain't even paid for it. I like 1:21:36.680 --> 1:21:39.439 my car is paid off now. London on the truck 1:21:39.520 --> 1:21:43.439 responded on social media. He said, it's goofy. He said, 1:21:43.439 --> 1:21:45.160 it ain't even funny. I really be trying to spare 1:21:45.200 --> 1:21:47.240 Shorty because I understand her mental health ain't where it 1:21:47.320 --> 1:21:49.639 needs to be. But the line got to stop calling 1:21:49.760 --> 1:21:52.519 DM and who for what? Post the current receipts if 1:21:52.560 --> 1:21:55.599 it's accurate, don't lie. Plus, my new woman ain't going 1:21:55.680 --> 1:21:58.120 for no issh like that. And then he said about 1:21:58.120 --> 1:22:00.240 the truck, it's cute too. I'm gonna have some body 1:22:00.240 --> 1:22:02.360 come get it tomorrow. Put the jewelry in the armrests. 1:22:02.360 --> 1:22:03.880 I don't want you to have nothing you don't want. 1:22:04.320 --> 1:22:06.360 I ain't going to keep playing with you on this internet. 1:22:06.360 --> 1:22:09.280 You're still making payments. This is just too messy. I 1:22:09.320 --> 1:22:10.840 don't know if we should even get into all of this. 1:22:11.000 --> 1:22:14.080 Send healing energy. I'm sending this whole room will report 1:22:14.080 --> 1:22:18.439 healing energy. Yeah, it's a lot of drama. Jesus Christ 1:22:19.000 --> 1:22:21.160 all right, And now here's what else Summer Walker have 1:22:21.240 --> 1:22:23.560 to say to all of London on the tracks his 1:22:23.680 --> 1:22:27.960 children's mothers. I get absolutely nothing for from these. I 1:22:28.120 --> 1:22:31.400 was supposed to have my child be married like that 1:22:31.680 --> 1:22:34.519 said you would new and carry on with my career. 1:22:34.680 --> 1:22:37.559 Sitlent me.

I'm sending them all healing. 1:22:48.000 --> 1:22:50.760 I hope so, because really the most important thing is 1:22:50.840 --> 1:22:53.720 the children, and so right now it's really messy and 1:22:53.760 --> 1:22:56.320 I know everything is fresh, but hopefully they get to 1:22:56.400 --> 1:22:59.479 that space where they can co parent peacefully and not 1:22:59.640 --> 1:23:01.280 have to do with this.

We got a special guest 1:24:41.240 --> 1:24:44.000 in the building. This young black woman owns a trucking 1:24:44.080 --> 1:24:47.160 business that is making millions. She she talks about where 1:24:47.200 --> 1:24:49.320 she started from, how she got into the trucking business. 1:24:49.640 --> 1:24:53.879 Casey Cooper. She's the CEO of the Compass Circle. Welcome. 1:24:54.120 --> 1:24:56.519 Thank you so for people that don't know who Casey 1:24:56.600 --> 1:24:59.559 Cooper is. Who is Casey Cooper and what is your business? 1:25:00.160 --> 1:25:02.080 I'm Casey Cooper of the Company's Circle. Thank you for 1:25:02.160 --> 1:25:05.400 that intro I started a trucking company about sixteen years 1:25:05.439 --> 1:25:08.760 ago and kind of just kept failing forward. Got into 1:25:08.880 --> 1:25:13.959 heavy hall, wide loads, tall loads, heavy loads, and government contracts. 1:25:14.160 --> 1:25:17.000 So I've been awarded almost six million dollars worth of 1:25:17.120 --> 1:25:20.240 government contracts in the last three years. And we teach 1:25:20.520 --> 1:25:23.400 women own and minority companies how to get access to 1:25:23.760 --> 1:25:27.680 the same opportunities through government contracts or certifications so they can, 1:25:27.760 --> 1:25:29.640 you know, grow their business. Yeah, I'm a fan of 1:25:29.960 --> 1:25:32.240 mwbs because I feel like a lot of people don't 1:25:32.240 --> 1:25:35.519 take advantage of them and apply for that certification. So 1:25:35.640 --> 1:25:37.439 can you talk about what that process is like and 1:25:37.479 --> 1:25:39.439 how you even knew about it? I just really care. 1:25:39.520 --> 1:25:41.599 You know, desire is one hell of a drug. Anything 1:25:41.640 --> 1:25:43.280 you want bad enough, you will do the research. So 1:25:43.400 --> 1:25:46.360 I was googling, I was getting with my local procurement office, 1:25:47.160 --> 1:25:49.799 and kind of once you start getting into that industry 1:25:49.880 --> 1:25:51.760 and you know, you start getting emails, you start getting 1:25:51.800 --> 1:25:56.840 invited to like all the happenings. WMB varies in different states, 1:25:56.920 --> 1:25:58.799 depending on you know what's going on. Of course, everybody's 1:25:58.840 --> 1:26:00.800 backed up right now, but are gonna want to see 1:26:00.880 --> 1:26:02.720 like two years of tax returns? They're gonna want to 1:26:02.720 --> 1:26:05.400 see that you are a legitimate, viable business, so you 1:26:05.439 --> 1:26:08.200 can get this certification to move forward. Now, how did 1:26:08.240 --> 1:26:11.080 you get into truck And you're from Virginia Beach, and 1:26:11.360 --> 1:26:13.320 what fifteen years ago in Virginia Beach when you started 1:26:13.360 --> 1:26:15.679 this company Virginia Beach. I'm sure it wasn't about trucking, 1:26:15.720 --> 1:26:17.840 and drugs were heavy and Virginia Beach at the time, 1:26:18.360 --> 1:26:21.000 a crime was heaving Virginia Beach and partying was heavy 1:26:21.040 --> 1:26:22.800 in Virginia Beach. There was no Miami back then. We 1:26:22.880 --> 1:26:24.840 went to Virginia Beach this party. So how did you 1:26:24.880 --> 1:26:26.800 get into trucking? So when I was stifteen, I had 1:26:26.880 --> 1:26:29.479 vendom machines and so I would be like fifteen, going 1:26:29.520 --> 1:26:31.639 to get my dollar bills and go hitting them all. 1:26:31.720 --> 1:26:34.320 So I'm making like four or five start the vendom machines. 1:26:34.360 --> 1:26:35.640 It's not at a fifteen year old. That's not what 1:26:35.680 --> 1:26:37.680 a fifteen year old does, you know typically, So how 1:26:37.720 --> 1:26:39.639 did you get into vending machines? How did you get 1:26:39.680 --> 1:26:42.400 this entrepreneur type of mind? I don't know nobody in 1:26:42.520 --> 1:26:45.519 my family. My parents are working, middle class, retired people. 1:26:45.560 --> 1:26:47.760 I have no idea. I think it's just from people 1:26:47.840 --> 1:26:50.240 just telling you no. Like back then, it was no uber, 1:26:50.400 --> 1:26:53.439 it was no lift, so you had to like get 1:26:53.560 --> 1:26:55.920 case quarters and use the phone. White Pages picked me up. 1:26:55.920 --> 1:26:59.559 So I became very resourceful and I just I got 1:26:59.640 --> 1:27:02.160 those machines. It was older gentleman in my neighborhood. He 1:27:02.280 --> 1:27:04.800 was he had like accounts at the airport, and I 1:27:04.880 --> 1:27:06.760 convinced him to just rent me to Back then, I 1:27:06.840 --> 1:27:09.760 was fifteen, so it was quite some time ago, but 1:27:09.880 --> 1:27:11.640 for twenty five dollars a month for two of them. 1:27:11.840 --> 1:27:13.479 Back then, I was doing music really heavy, so I 1:27:13.520 --> 1:27:15.519 put them in the studio. I would go get my 1:27:15.600 --> 1:27:18.800 money and I was like, set on, I'm not going 1:27:18.880 --> 1:27:20.920 to be the one making this money. That's how I'm 1:27:20.920 --> 1:27:22.679 gonna do it. So that was like my first face. 1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:24.720 I got about twenty five, and I was like, Yo, 1:27:24.920 --> 1:27:26.920 I'm gonna get me a dump truck. I don't know 1:27:27.000 --> 1:27:28.720 where it came from. It just popped up in my 1:27:29.120 --> 1:27:30.920 dump truck. Yeah, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be 1:27:30.920 --> 1:27:32.880 a millionaire. I'm gonna have this fleet. I'm gonna do this, 1:27:33.000 --> 1:27:34.640 and it just did not happen that way. I mean, 1:27:34.640 --> 1:27:37.040 I ended up a millionaire. But so what happened with 1:27:37.120 --> 1:27:39.080 the business. So, so what was the bad part about 1:27:39.080 --> 1:27:40.680 the business? You got your first dump truck, and then 1:27:40.760 --> 1:27:43.679 what happened. The first one was a piece of crap. 1:27:43.760 --> 1:27:45.640 It was eighty thousand dollars. So the truck that was 1:27:45.640 --> 1:27:48.519 like twenty two hundred insurance was six hundred at one age, 1:27:49.120 --> 1:27:51.880 I was like twenty five. So I'm spending six hundred 1:27:51.920 --> 1:27:54.000 a week on fuel. It was just horrible. It was 1:27:54.000 --> 1:27:56.360 a piece of crap. It was actually a converted road tractor. 1:27:56.439 --> 1:27:59.160 Did somebody put a dump body on? So for anybody listening, 1:27:59.240 --> 1:28:01.640 don't do that. Road tractors are not made to go 1:28:01.800 --> 1:28:04.559 off road like that. But my mom had co signed 1:28:04.600 --> 1:28:08.439 for me, so my motivation was like I can't. Yeah, 1:28:08.479 --> 1:28:11.240 I can't do it. But I was up against a 1:28:11.320 --> 1:28:14.240 converted road tractor. So I ended up terminating the lease. 1:28:14.280 --> 1:28:15.800 I had to pay like twenty grand to get out 1:28:15.800 --> 1:28:18.479 of it. And then I just kept buying trucks, buying trucks, 1:28:18.560 --> 1:28:22.360 buying trucks, got my license, got my twit car, got 1:28:22.400 --> 1:28:25.320 my escort and pilot's license, and I just kept I mean, 1:28:25.400 --> 1:28:27.400 I was like failing forward, but I kept going to 1:28:27.479 --> 1:28:29.439 the next steps escort. You gotta break it down like 1:28:29.680 --> 1:28:31.600 three year olds. I don't know what escort escort to 1:28:31.640 --> 1:28:36.040 some people like yes, please, I've come too far. Please. 1:28:36.479 --> 1:28:38.559 So just like this building, this building is a tall 1:28:38.640 --> 1:28:40.120 I don't know how many stories, but it was a 1:28:40.479 --> 1:28:42.679 This was a job to pull together millions of dollars. 1:28:43.040 --> 1:28:45.400 So I would bring in like the tall beams that 1:28:45.479 --> 1:28:48.200 actually hold the building up. And so sometimes that stuff 1:28:48.280 --> 1:28:50.400 is so wide or so tall or so heavy that 1:28:50.520 --> 1:28:53.200 it's not safe during you know, normal hour. Person that 1:28:53.280 --> 1:28:56.600 slows down to traffic because that es and you got 1:28:56.680 --> 1:28:58.639 to take up the Yeah, we have to keep it safe. 1:28:58.760 --> 1:29:00.439 And sometimes I mean this stuff would be so big 1:29:00.520 --> 1:29:02.679 we would have to carry it at night like shutdown tunnels. 1:29:02.720 --> 1:29:05.840 It was a whole production. So I think the first 1:29:05.880 --> 1:29:07.880 time I got the first escort bill was like eleven 1:29:07.960 --> 1:29:11.000 thousand for the week. I was like, oh Na, who 1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:12.519 I need to talk to to get my license? My 1:29:12.600 --> 1:29:15.080 dad got his license, My boyfriend's time got his license. 1:29:15.160 --> 1:29:17.400 So we were just trying to save money. But I 1:29:17.560 --> 1:29:19.519 ended up getting into so many other things, so it 1:29:19.600 --> 1:29:20.960 was pretty cool. Now I want to get back to 1:29:21.000 --> 1:29:23.439 these government contracts because you said you've gotten six million 1:29:23.520 --> 1:29:27.000 dollars what the government, yeah worth the government contracts. You know, 1:29:27.040 --> 1:29:29.760 a lot of women are eligible, and it gets a 1:29:29.800 --> 1:29:32.400 little chicy how things get done, because I've heard of 1:29:32.439 --> 1:29:35.720 stories where like, you know, white women are eligible for 1:29:35.800 --> 1:29:38.840 this right and so their husband or family member will 1:29:38.880 --> 1:29:41.200 sign up for something and then they'll get the certification 1:29:41.320 --> 1:29:43.519 with the woman in the family. But that takes away 1:29:43.560 --> 1:29:46.680 from all So it's supposed to benefit black people and minorities. 1:29:47.000 --> 1:29:49.200 So can you talk about that whole process and how 1:29:49.240 --> 1:29:51.439 you manage to get six million dollars almost six million 1:29:51.479 --> 1:29:53.680 dollars worth of contracts. Yes, So same thing like I 1:29:53.800 --> 1:29:55.320 was saying earlier. I mean I was just taking all 1:29:55.360 --> 1:29:59.200 the classes. Everybody's local municipality or state has some kind 1:29:59.240 --> 1:30:01.960 of pro We had a small Business Administration, yes, and 1:30:02.000 --> 1:30:05.880 I've taken classes there too, and I got my certification. Okay, 1:30:06.200 --> 1:30:08.400 but if you don't use it, you can't complain, you 1:30:08.479 --> 1:30:10.719 know what I'm saying. So even though we don't speak 1:30:10.760 --> 1:30:12.479 to each other in that language, like I'm not sitting 1:30:12.520 --> 1:30:14.519 here talking to you about an RFP and rf we 1:30:14.600 --> 1:30:16.600 just we don't communicate that way. I think it's a 1:30:16.640 --> 1:30:19.479 little off putting because culturally We're just not introduced to that, 1:30:19.920 --> 1:30:22.840 and project management is not something that we're really reared on. 1:30:23.400 --> 1:30:25.800 If our parents did have businesses, they were working in 1:30:25.880 --> 1:30:28.200 the business, you didn't really see your pops sitting back 1:30:28.320 --> 1:30:31.560 calling all the shots. So same process. I mean, you 1:30:31.640 --> 1:30:33.519 just have to get in there, find out what your 1:30:33.600 --> 1:30:36.120 state has to offer because it's going to vary. I 1:30:36.200 --> 1:30:38.840 probably have gotten over forty thousand dollars worth of free 1:30:38.920 --> 1:30:43.280 things business plans. I'm talking about elaborate business plans, employee handbooks, 1:30:43.360 --> 1:30:46.439 like policies, procedures. Most of us are not walking around 1:30:46.479 --> 1:30:49.040 with that stuff. But that's what it takes to get to, 1:30:49.320 --> 1:30:52.360 you know, this apex level. But you have to just 1:30:52.439 --> 1:30:56.040 really tap into it. The government contracts are there. My 1:30:56.200 --> 1:30:59.040 first one was about two months after I got registered 1:30:59.040 --> 1:31:00.800 in stamps. I had no blue what I was doing, like, 1:31:00.880 --> 1:31:02.640 no clue. I just knew that I had to get 1:31:02.680 --> 1:31:04.800 the paperwork together. I just had to get it together 1:31:04.880 --> 1:31:08.040 and I would get I would get a swing. No, 1:31:08.280 --> 1:31:12.080 I just registered. So www. Dot sam dot gov is 1:31:12.160 --> 1:31:15.400 the federal government's UM like wheelhouse to register. So once 1:31:15.400 --> 1:31:17.040 you go in there and you register, which is absolutely 1:31:17.120 --> 1:31:20.519 free UM, then you're eligible to start looking at contracts, 1:31:20.560 --> 1:31:22.840 bidding on contracts, so on and so forth. Now I 1:31:22.920 --> 1:31:25.320 don't recommend if you have no idea, you know, no 1:31:25.760 --> 1:31:28.800 experience whatsoever, just start bidding. But I was already doing 1:31:28.920 --> 1:31:31.439 my trucking thing. So I was ten years in by 1:31:31.479 --> 1:31:33.240 that point. You have a program where you teach people 1:31:33.760 --> 1:31:36.120 do it all the time. Break that down. So, I mean, 1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:38.640 there's so many certifications. There's one called the eight A, 1:31:39.080 --> 1:31:41.439 the letter M, the number eight and the letter A. 1:31:41.840 --> 1:31:44.120 I'm in that program. This is my fourth year. It's 1:31:44.160 --> 1:31:48.840 a developmental program for minorities who have disparities. UM that 1:31:48.960 --> 1:31:52.439 allows you to actually bypass the bidding process. So my 1:31:52.560 --> 1:31:55.360 five million dollar contract I got because of that certification. 1:31:55.400 --> 1:32:00.240 I would have never got that opportunity. That easy about 1:32:00.280 --> 1:32:03.519 that certification. So you know, you have total small business, 1:32:03.520 --> 1:32:05.439 which most of us are total small business. You have 1:32:05.520 --> 1:32:09.320 woman owned, economically disadvantaged woman owned hub zone a day. 1:32:09.720 --> 1:32:11.439 There's a myriad of them. You just have to pick 1:32:11.520 --> 1:32:13.760 the ones that apply to you and make them work 1:32:13.840 --> 1:32:16.120 for you. And all this information. By the way, it's free, 1:32:16.400 --> 1:32:18.439 it's offering and you can go and do these classes. 1:32:18.520 --> 1:32:20.479 Those class well, you pay for it with your tax dollars. 1:32:20.600 --> 1:32:22.080 That's what I always say. So you need to make 1:32:22.080 --> 1:32:24.400 sure you use these resources. And here's the thing to Angelos. 1:32:24.439 --> 1:32:26.280 So I'm from Virginia, That's where I got all of 1:32:26.360 --> 1:32:29.720 my training from. In this particular time and setting when 1:32:29.760 --> 1:32:31.880 I was going after all of these classes. You had 1:32:31.920 --> 1:32:34.040 to be making two hundred and fifty thousand a year 1:32:34.120 --> 1:32:37.720 to even get the free government classes. Wow. So let's 1:32:37.760 --> 1:32:39.479 just say you make seven dollars an hour and you 1:32:39.560 --> 1:32:41.600 gotta side business. You're able to scrape up you know, 1:32:41.720 --> 1:32:44.799 sixty thousand growth, you're not even eligible to take the class. 1:32:45.240 --> 1:32:48.040 So systems are put in place for it to be systematic. 1:32:49.160 --> 1:32:52.320 It makes no sense. So everybody has, you know, different opportunities. 1:32:52.360 --> 1:32:54.640 And that's just one. I mean, it's now you have 1:32:54.760 --> 1:32:57.720 YouTube people on clubhouse talking about government contracts. Fifteen years 1:32:57.760 --> 1:33:00.200 ago people were not talking about government contracts and body 1:33:00.200 --> 1:33:02.320 was talking about trucking serio. People get rich off of that. 1:33:02.600 --> 1:33:06.439 Oh I'm done very well. Yeah, there's companies that can 1:33:06.560 --> 1:33:09.400 go from being a small company oh yeah, a multimillion 1:33:09.439 --> 1:33:11.280 dollar company. Oh yeah. And then at that point you 1:33:11.360 --> 1:33:14.559 have to decide, because if you're making thirty thousand a year, 1:33:14.680 --> 1:33:16.280 you don't really know what it's like to be in 1:33:16.439 --> 1:33:18.840 charge of seven millions. So each way I thank God 1:33:18.880 --> 1:33:21.320 for now. Even now I'm like, I don't want to 1:33:21.320 --> 1:33:23.439 grow my company to one hundred million dollars.
