15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: the store and then I'll let you girls take over

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: because I.

00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: Know everything about Jones.

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll shut it.

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: So I was doing morning radio with Joe Button at

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: Hot ninety seven.

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: This is when Starring Buck left, Swaye left.

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: They tried a bunch of different shows, didn't work, and

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: they had Joe Button and me. We were doing morning

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: show and Joe Button was a rapper at the time,

25
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: so he was doing his he was on tour and

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: doing all types of things, and it just didn't work.

27
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Uh, So they brought in Jones.

28
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: And when they brought in Jones, me and Jones really

29
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: didn't have a relationship. We knew of each other, but

30
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: didn't know each other. And I remember the first day,

31
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: you know, me being nosy. I was air hustling, and

32
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: I found out she was talking out on her manager

33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: or whoever at the time, and she said how much

34
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: they made and how much they were giving her, and

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I pulled her to the side and I said, look,

36
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: just to let you know, they paid Joe Button this.

37
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Much, so you should ask for that much. And right

38
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: then and.

39
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: There, that's what he said. They paying Joe to fifty.

40
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: And we became brother and sister.

41
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: She asked for that, and you're a starting point.

42
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: And that's how our brother and sister became. And from

43
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: now on we've been through ups and downs and battles

44
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: and wars, and we always had each other's backs, the

45
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: good the bad. We were always there for each other.

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: And even after we always there for each other. And

47
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: that's how it became. So she is somebody that I

48
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: look up to in radio. So when I talk about radio,

49
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: she taught me how.

50
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: To do interviews. She taught me how to tease.

51
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: She taught me how to not have anything to talk

52
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: about and just pull a topic out of thin air,

53
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: make it big like she was the moments, and she

54
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: was somebody that mentor or idolized when it came to

55
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: radio because she knew how to do it and she

56
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: did it so effortlessly.

57
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: So miss Jones, ladies, and I love how.

58
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: You advocated for her first of all, like you, because

59
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: you know nobody would have, did you know what I'm saying?

60
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: Not many people would do that. Oh this person getting

61
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: paid this, and you knew that, you knew who she

62
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: was and that her worth and what she was worth,

63
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: you know, and that was really your value.

64
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 3: No one does that anymore, no, nobody, no, So that

65
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: that's really dope. Thank you.

66
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: How do you feel about how radio is ran today,

67
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: the current state of radio today?

68
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: You know what business is always business? Once I got that,

69
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: Once I understood that, it just became an understanding of

70
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: do your show and expect them to perform the business.

71
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: You take the personal out of it. It's easier to

72
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: just focus and move on. And do your other things.

73
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's talk about you getting to radio. So before radio,

74
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: you were a music artist, yes, R and B singer.

75
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had singles where I Want to be Boy.

76
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: My first album actually never came out. It wasn't until

77
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: I left stepsn Records and got with Andre Herrel at Motown.

78
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: It was going to be the new Motown and then

79
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: he got fired, and then it was just bringing an A

80
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: and R bringing a new It was a mess. So

81
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: I'm glad that when they asked me to do weekends

82
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: at Hot ninety seven. Although first I was like radio,

83
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to be a big singer, so I don't

84
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: got time. I'm glad I humored them because that wound

85
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: up maintaining my lifestyle, which wasn't a huge lifestyle, but

86
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: paying my bills because my mother died June twenty sixth

87
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: of ninety one, right after I got home from college.

88
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: My dad died freshman year, so I had nothing. I

89
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: had nothing, so I needed that little weekend job, and

90
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: I didn't know I would wind up needing it to

91
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: be my full time job when they offered me Morning.

92
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: Now Jones was the R and B singer we're talking

93
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: to Miss Jones. She was the R and B singer,

94
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: kind of like how Fab.

95
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Used to do the Clue mixtapes.

96
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: She used to do the R and B version of

97
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: that before Fab. So she would sing on the mixtapes.

98
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Who was ever beat was out? She would kill it.

99
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: And that's how Jones got popular, and she did with

100
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: ron g legendary mixtape, DJ ron G.

101
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: I am no, go ahead, no no, that that's amazing.

102
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: Ain't never have an R and B mixtape?

103
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah? That was the start. And it's

104
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: funny because once I did it, it started catching on.

105
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: But I was just doing it for fun, primarily because

106
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: I loved the beats and I always wanted to sing.

107
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: I didn't want to necessarily be a rapper. But that

108
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: was a good fusion and it was safe because I,

109
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: you know, I studied music. I thought I could sing.

110
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: I know that people liked it, But hearing a mixtape

111
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: on Jamaica Avenue in front of the coliseum wall was everything.

112
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 3: You already made it when that happened.

113
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 4: So what happened, like, why aren't we?

114
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 3: We could blame it on a lot of things. Now,

115
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: I'm so glad I avoided the baby oil of it all.

116
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: I'm glad that I always wound up with labels that

117
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily have the resources. I was always with a

118
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: small engine, and then when you have the other artists

119
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: that have the bigger engines and maybe not necessarily the

120
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: bigger talent or the bigger gifts, you lose. But I

121
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: flipped it and I just stayed the chorus of radio,

122
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: never knowing that that would be my full time thing,

123
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: and that from radio I would then go back to

124
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: making records, because last year I went back to music.

125
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: I have a song called Calling Old Ladies that was

126
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 3: Grammy nominated and this is the first time graduation ever,

127
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: Thank you so, and I have a new single, let's

128
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: play it's the birthday song. Hopefully ve you'll give it

129
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: a spin or something.

130
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Do you think Diddy took what you were doing back then?

131
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: I know for a facts he did. Women to tell

132
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: the story, please, so if you remember the so back

133
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: then it was Mary J. Blige, and it was well

134
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 3: before that it was like maybe and Williams, but she

135
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: wasn't really a contender because she was a little more

136
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: mature at her marketing. But back then it was Michelle A.

137
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: Allison Williams and Mary J. Blige was the new kid

138
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: on the block. Michelle was from the West Coast, so

139
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: she didn't really have the edge, the New York edge,

140
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: and they knew well then I came and Ron G

141
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 3: was my person and Diddy was behind Mary. So Mary's

142
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: first album, if you go back and listen, it was

143
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 3: really all jazz, R and B. Diddy always had his

144
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: ear to the street and so he heard about my

145
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: stuff coming and he came to ron G heard the

146
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: mixtapes that we were doing, and he knew that my

147
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: album was supposed to be like the mixtapes, which wound

148
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 3: up being Mary's remix album. So when he couldn't get

149
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: Ron to give him my stuff, because Ron was like, no,

150
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: miss Jones was going to be my artist, I'm getting

151
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: her a deal, he took the music and went and

152
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 3: remixed her first album and released it before we could

153
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: even get out the gate with mine.

154
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: So because he couldn't have you or.

155
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: Not me, he wanted the music for Mary Oh Good.

156
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 3: He wanted the music from Roanji for Mary. So every

157
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: song that was supposed to be mine that's on the

158
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: remix album that was he got it from. And he

159
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 3: tricked Ron to Ron just bring all your tapes down here.

160
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: I just want to vibe. And Ron dumped all the

161
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: tapes there, and I'm like, why would you do that?

162
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: In hindsight, he didn't know. We didn't know that Dinny

163
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: would wind up being you know, the way it was.

164
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: But so that's it. But she didn't know.

165
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: Have you and married je oblige ever sat and had

166
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 5: a conversation about.

167
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: This and no, and she doesn't know. She doesn't like

168
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: I probably shouldn't even still remember, right, Why.

169
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: Shouldn't you remember? Did somebody give you somewhere you ain't

170
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: supposed to remember?

171
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: I mean, because it's so many years, after so many years,

172
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: are supposed to move on, right, So don't get me wrong.

173
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: I have my moments of Tourette's and going down the rabbit,

174
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: But primarily I realized that she did not know, and

175
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: it wasn't her fault. And that's not to say that

176
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: even if she didn't, she wouldn't have been the huge

177
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: star she is today. But I just know that particular

178
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: situation happened that way, and that is the truth. But

179
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: I'm not denying her success.

180
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: A note after that, Diddy did the reality show for

181
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: you for free.

182
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 6: I've heard you talk about that.

183
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: Remember that Enva My god.

184
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 6: What was the exact reality show?

185
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: We don't even know. We were just kids happy to

186
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: have some cameras because this is before reality shows, this

187
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: is before Keisha call, this is before anything. And they

188
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: brought cameras into the High ninety seven studios. So Mvy

189
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: was like, it would be good, it would be dope. Actually,

190
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: if you could get Diddy to Cosan. You go to

191
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: shoot some scenes with Didty, I'm like, what are you

192
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: talking about? He's like whatever. So we get in there.

193
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: I get into the office and he's first thing he

194
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: says is why are you always talking about Beyonce? And

195
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know. What are you drinking? It's

196
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: like crog ray T. Do you want something? And I'm

197
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: like yeah, And then we just broke the ice and

198
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: started talking. So the show never went anywhere. Emmy said

199
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: it was horribly produced. It was so bad. How old

200
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: were you at this time, thirty thirty year early thirties

201
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: because yeah, because then yeah, because when I went to

202
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: after that, I had my thirty fifth birthday and the

203
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 3: mayor it was like they sent me thirty five birthday

204
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: cakes up to the radio station. The mayor gave me

205
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: the key to the city and all the things. So

206
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: I remember it was.

207
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: Thirty so when you left.

208
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: So when you started doing weekends on Hot ninety seven,

209
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: then you started doing mornings, right you started doing morning

210
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: with starring buck Wow, how was that being into that

211
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: because they threw you into the mix.

212
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: Well, actually before starring Bucklow, remember and before that it

213
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: was Steph Lover Kurt Flirt. And they asked me. I

214
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: was home in the midst of boxes. I had to

215
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 3: leave my apartment because I could no longer afford that rent.

216
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: And I'll never forget Tracy. Our boss then called me

217
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: and she's like, what's wrong. Why do you say what

218
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm like nothing, I'm fine, and she goes, so,

219
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: what do you think about joining the morning show? Being

220
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 3: like the girl on the streets, And I was like,

221
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: but I didn't want to let her know. I'm like,

222
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 3: it depends how much is it pay? Correct And this

223
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: is before the whole replaced Joe Buttensing. This is I'm

224
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: coming straight off of weekends making union scale was like

225
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty dollars per shiit, which is really

226
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: nothing to live off of, but I made it work

227
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: and now I realized that the record label is like,

228
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: they're like, okay, we're done with your project. So that

229
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: call changed my life. And then it was me, Steph

230
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: and Kurt flirt and I came back one morning and

231
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: Steph yelled at me and we wound up having a

232
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: fight in the studio. But we didn't know that the

233
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: microphones were on, so then the salespeople came running down

234
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: the hall to It was crazy. So when we heard

235
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: that and Tracy, we knew she was on her way

236
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: into the studio. I one of my girlfriends worked in sales,

237
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: and she was like, before Tracy can come to you,

238
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: go back there and apologize, just to apologize and say

239
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: you know you were wrong. And I'm like, but it

240
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: wasn't it, she said, trust me. I went in there.

241
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 3: I said, Tracy, I know I was wrong. I apologized

242
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: for disrespecting you and the studio like that. I just

243
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 3: got really emotional. So she goes, Okay, Then she called Steph.

244
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: Steph goes, what the fuck I can't so Tracy's gonna

245
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: calm down. Said, I'm not calming down. So she goes,

246
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: you know what, stay home indefinitely, staph. And then that

247
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: next Monday, it was me Fatman's Scoop and Kurt Flirt.

248
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 3: She put Scoop in to replace Steph. God rest his soul. Yeah,

249
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 3: it was, it was, and it was in a moment's time.

250
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: I had to think quick, listen to my friend Karen

251
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: shout out to Quarrant and do that, or else I

252
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: could have been the one because her and Steph were friends.

253
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

254
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: Wow yeah.

255
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: So then from that transition went from after fat Man's Scoop.

256
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 3: Was Scoop introduced darn Buckwold to Tracy and they they

257
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: would wind up taking over his job in mornings. I'm like,

258
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: you walked in our competition, but Scoop had that type

259
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: of heart. So they got rid of Scoop. And she

260
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: told me, Tracy, you better not fucking say nothing because

261
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: this like you got to protect yourself and your life.

262
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: But I'm getting rid of Scoop and I'm moving him

263
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: to overnights and I'm putting you on mornings with Starrn

264
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 3: buck Wilde. Now, mind you. Starn Buckwold used to write

265
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: talk shit about me and their little magazine that they

266
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: had as an R and B singer. They always talking

267
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: about the gap in my mouth and all the things

268
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: and I'm like, since when do dude talk about a

269
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: woman's feature? But that was them, and so when they

270
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 3: put me together with them, I was, you know my scorpio,

271
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: it's always on scorpio. I am, are you twenty second scorpio? Scorpio?

272
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: Oh come on, yeah, I'm October okay. But so I

273
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: still had an attitude. So he apologized, but it don't matter,

274
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean, And then he used

275
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: to talk about everyone, which I understood what he was doing,

276
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: but I didn't necessarily want to be a part of

277
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: that because I'm still an ARM and B singer trying

278
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: to make a comeback and rub hands or shake hands,

279
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: and I'm outside at nights or not. You go back

280
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: to wherever it is you live. I'm in these streets

281
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: and I gotta wow, yes, yeah, And why.

282
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: Did you leave that show?

283
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: Because I, yes, I had before we get to while

284
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 5: you left, I wanted to ask because it kind of

285
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 5: sets up for that question. So just hearing that background

286
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 5: and knowing about the magazine and you coming in with

287
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 5: attitude of I gotta protect myself, is that why before

288
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: you left you chose to protect yourself in this tuition that.

289
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: With Aliyah yes, that was the straight disrespect. And it

290
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 3: was too early for the bullshit. And I didn't like

291
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,239
Speaker 3: the fact that I knew all morning they were whispering,

292
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: so I knew something was browing. It was always something

293
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: brewing with the kids, right, but that morning it was

294
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: too soon for the bullshit, and I knew she had

295
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: just died, so it was And I was like, but

296
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: I know they would never like go that far or

297
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: what happened.

298
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 4: I don't know.

299
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 6: Oh, go ahead, you tell.

300
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: So Aliah passed away the week before. This was right

301
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: before nine to eleven would happen, right, she passed away.

302
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: This is tragic because no one girl R and B

303
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: young singer had been dying at all. The next week,

304
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 3: starring Buck Wow primarily Star and his assistant Reese, they

305
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: decide to reenact her dying on the plane crash, and

306
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: they played on the screams and the and the sound

307
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: of fire burning like a plane crashing, and I knew

308
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: they were up to something like to this day, He goes,

309
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: Miss Jones knew, no, you kept it from me, and

310
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: you know you didn't tell me what it was. But

311
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: when I heard it, I walked out and I said,

312
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 3: I wish you had died in a plane rather than

313
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: a Leah. And then Tracy used that. She was like,

314
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: you don't wish death on your coworkers and go home

315
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 3: and you cool off and you think about this. Like

316
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: she punished me, right, She yelled at me and not

317
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: them on the radio. And then an hour later, McDonald's

318
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: pulled their money. Bergie King PEPSI, everybody pulled their money.

319
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was Jay Z and Dame

320
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: Dash telling them this is what happened. I don't know,

321
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: because we don't have social media back then. Word didn't

322
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: travel that quickly, but we had a lot of listeners

323
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: back then, and everyone that was listening to the starn

324
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: Buckwold feat from Miss Jones heard it and knew someone

325
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: that heard it. So when the corporation started pulling the money,

326
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: bring hello Jones. Is Tracy Tracy the one that just

327
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: wanted me to go home and think about it. We

328
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: need you back. I have to pull starm Buckwow off

329
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: the air. The world everybody's mad, yeah, and we need

330
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: you to calm the savage beast that is. And I

331
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: did what I was told and went back on air.

332
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 5: There's always been conversation that either Dame or jay Z

333
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: either called the station or came to the station or

334
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: something like that.

335
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 6: After all that happen.

336
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: Probably, and now that all this other stuff is coming

337
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: out now years later, I'm sure they probably took her

338
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: to breakfast and made the threat that either you get

339
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: them off the air or elsewhere, you won't have any

340
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: more Rockefeller artists. I'm sure of that. I'm finding out now,

341
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: We're all finding out that those type of conversations were had.

342
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: You know, Wendy got let go because did he allegedly

343
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: called Tracy and said, by the time I get back

344
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: in town, she'd better be going, or you won't have

345
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: any bad boy artists. But I want to say this

346
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: Star was on his way right then of being let

347
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: go because the listeners and the corporations would not stop.

348
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: Be it not for nine to eleven happening the next week,

349
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: he would have been let go. When nine to eleven happened,

350
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: everybody forgot about Aleyah, No one gave a damn about

351
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: Star war Buck Wild, right, So we got to live

352
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: this or he got to live to see another day

353
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: under the quiet cloak of let's chill, Let's be easy

354
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: for a little while. Let's focus on nine to eleven.

355
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: So when they finally left Hot ninety seven and you

356
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: were in Philly just right, we got to call a

357
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: come back to New York. How was that and how

358
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: difficult it was it back then for a woman to

359
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: a woman.

360
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: To have her own show, especially in mornings.

361
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: It was hard when I went there had never been

362
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: a woman in mornings in that format of radio in Philadelphia.

363
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: But I needed a job because I was fired so

364
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: abruptly as soon as things turned around and we forgot

365
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: about nine to eleven and everyone's back popping, Star without

366
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: me knowing, kicked me off the show and Tracy, I said,

367
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: I don't work for him. I worked for you, and

368
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: she's like, yeah, but if Star doesn't feel comfortable, she

369
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: did never let me know. And I had just gotten

370
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: this fabulous apartment at the Renaissance on one sixteenth. The

371
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: Lennox was brand new. She knew this, they knew it.

372
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: And she goes, well, go talk to him, go beg him,

373
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: go beg for your job back. Yeah.

374
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: So after she called you and begged you to come

375
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: in be the saving grade, yep, turned around. I don't

376
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 4: know what to do now, go and bag him?

377
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me build it back up, let things get normalized,

378
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: let the sponsors come back on. Then she let him

379
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: kick me off the show. And he only wanted me

380
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: off the show because I was never going to be

381
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: the Robin Quivers. He wanted to be Howard Stern a lot.

382
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 3: That was his style and whatever. But Robin Quivers, to me,

383
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 3: never really had a position. If she did, she never

384
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: stood up to Haward Stern. That ain't me. That was

385
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: just not me. So maybe I should have just been

386
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: a laugh track and I would have kept that job.

387
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 3: But thankfully I was able to go to Philly be

388
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: the first woman. I didn't know I was being the

389
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: first woman. I just knew I needed a job, and

390
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 3: anybody got time to think about, oh my god, what

391
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: am I going to say? Well, just getting there and

392
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: do and so I I did that. And now apparently

393
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 3: they think I enjoyed doing that because I'm by myself

394
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: at the block talking to myself and Wayne, my producer.

395
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: But so yeah, it worked out. It worked out for

396
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: times like this where companies can't afford to have a

397
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: fully staffed breakfast club.

398
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: So then you came back.

399
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, wait, don't let's stay in Philly real quick,

400
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 5: because you going to Philly.

401
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 6: Was Wendy Williams giving you a call?

402
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: So I called wend Wendy called me. I think she

403
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,399

412
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,040

Speaker 3: Appreciate you still having the love of it. So Wendy

416
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 3: call Jones because she always had to sneak to call

417
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: me because her husband, Kevin later would try to have

418
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: me murdered in front of ninety seven. That's a whole

419
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 3: nother story.

420
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: Child, hold on, damn.

00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: But but that was paging the paper. But we'll get

423
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: into that later. It's a lot, Child, been.

424
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: So much, I don't even know how I'm still staying

425
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 3: the child.

426
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: What they call again?

427
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: Call yes, she said, I heard what's going on? Called

428
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 3: Golden Boy who was then doing more or the PD

429
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: for Power ninety nine, and call Luscious Ice over at

430
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 3: the Beat. I didn't know either of these people, but

431
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: I needed a job, so I called Luscious Ice responded quickly,

432
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: and in a couple of weeks I had the position.

433
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know anyone in Philadelphia except for Charlie Baltimore

434
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 3: and thank God for Chuck. She took me under her wings.

435
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: She sat and with me on my first week and

436
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: introduced me to people, told me kind of we're at

437
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: a party where not the party, but to stay away from.

438
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: And Derek Coleman he called from the Sixers and we

439
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: went to Syracuse together. He helped me find my apartment

440
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: and he just was being a real big brother to

441
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 3: me when I got to Philadelphia. But it was very

442
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: rewarding because when I got to that station, they were

443
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: like number of fifty in the ratings. They had no

444
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: signal and they had little resources, and I brought them

445
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: to number three in three months.

446
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 4: Wow.

447
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: So for me that was self what self? It was?

448
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: Because I still had the hurt of did I mean

449
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: that little to the Star and Bucklow show that they

450
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: think that they could just throw me out, And then

451
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, maybe I ain't shit.

452
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 4: And then you go somewhere and you revamp it, you

453
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 4: replenish it, and then you make it a whole.

454
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: New thing, and you just I just bought the same thing,

455
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: and they were happy to have the same old thing

456
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: that they had discarded in Hot ninety seven. Right, they

457
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: were happy to have me. They were coming to my

458
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: grown folks Fridays, which I created. By the way they

459
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: were coming. It was everything I did in Philly. I

460
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: love Philly so much because they gave me what my

461
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: soul needed without being paid or without yeah, without being

462
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 3: paid to do so. They showed up for me and

463
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 3: at that time in my life, they gave me the

464
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: confidence I needed to stand in being the only woman

465
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 3: doing morning radios like that. And then it was so

466
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: gratifying when Hot ninety seven had to call me back

467
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: to save that ass.

468
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 6: So now we're getting jest. You want to ask her

469
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 6: about the front page with a.

470
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: Year So.

471
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 4: Somebody trying to have you killed?

472
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: Oh of Kevin, Wendy William's husband. According to the court documents,

473
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: I was saying, okay, break.

474
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: It down, allegedly breaking down allegedly.

475
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 3: Suppose, Well, Kevin never liked me and Wendy's friendship. And

476
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: I think it's because when Wendy introduced me to Kevin,

477
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: when she very first met him, he and I were

478
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: sitting in the car together because she had gone in

479
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: the store to get some gum, and we had a

480
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: conversation and I told him to take care of my friend,

481
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: and he goes, no, when she makes it, I'm gonna

482
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: make it, I'm gonna take care of her. I didn't

483
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: like that. I didn't like that. What you mean, when

484
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: she becomes a star, you're gonna be right there. I

485
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: didn't like that. And maybe it was harmless, but no,

486
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: it's not, because look how it ended up. So I

487
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 3: knew and he knew. You know, when your boyfriend, when

488
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: a boy a bad boyfriend, knows that girl friend that

489
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: sees him for what he is. He tried to keep

490
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: her away, and Wendy was so happy to have a

491
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 3: Bulge because remember back in the day when she used

492
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: to be in the studio, she acts like she had

493
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: a security guard named Bulge, and she'd be like, Bulge,

494
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: close the door, let me tell you about total bulge.

495
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: There was never a bald Kevin. Well. Later on she

496
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: married Kevin and then he became her bulge right a protection.

497
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: So when he told her not to talk to me,

498
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: she used to sneak to talk to me, and so yeah,

499
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: and so it would come out later on when she

500
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: made her return to New York on nine to eleven,

501
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: two weeks after the whole Alia thing happened, Kevin didn't

502
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 3: want her having any part to me. And I guess

503
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: it got to the point because I wasn't backing down

504
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: at that point she was start saying slick stuff about

505
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: me on Aaron. I was started saying stuff back. For

506
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 3: many years, I did nothing, but I was tired of

507
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: being a punk ass bitch and so I started saying

508
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 3: stuff back and he went to silence me. And so

509
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: in the court documents when they're intern, Nicole I think

510
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: was her name, sued them. She came out and testified

511
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: that he attempted to have a murder plot placed on

512
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 3: Miss Jones. Now three years ago, when me and Wendy

513
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: Williams reunited, I think this was twenty twenty two, twenty

514
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: twenty two, we started hanging out. I'm spending the night

515
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: at her house. She's driving all the way out to

516
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: Manalop into my house. You still have the ring camera

517
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: as evidence. She told me. She goes, oh, as far

518
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 3: as keV trying to have you murdered. He was just playing.

519
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: He didn't mean it. But that doesn't mean he didn't

520
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 3: say it, And that doesn't mean that someone who is

521
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: trying to be in his graces. We see people now

522
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: shooting and killing people because they think they're doing something

523
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 3: in the spirit of I got her, I got her.

524
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: So how are you playing? How you shooting?

525
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 6: How do you feel right now about this?

526
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

527
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, thanks, thank you because I almost missed it regularly.

528
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So she gets back to New York.

529
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 3: Wait, I was gonna, I was going that was my life,

530
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 3: that was our life.

531
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 6: I was going to ask you.

532
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 5: We went off to dinner with Wendy and she said

533
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 5: that she feels like what she's going through right now

534
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 5: is because of all of the things that she said,

535
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 5: the things that have happened because of her karma, right,

536
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 5: She said that, Yeah, she told me, Charlotte mage Dade,

537
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 5: that's the first steps.

538
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: I feel like God was waiting for that. I feel

539
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: like when she had the issues with her feet spiritually,

540
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: that was God teaching her about kicking people when they're Downah,

541
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 3: I said, of all the body parts to get affected publicly,

542
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: be affected because she couldn't hide from that. That is

543
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: you and God. Y'all gotta work that out. You gotta

544
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 3: acknowledge that. Despite the fact that Kevin is the one

545
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: that gave her the foot surgery, y'all know about that, right,

546
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 3: So he is a foot surgeon. When they first got together,

547
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 3: he was giving her foot surgery for her birthday, and

548
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 3: she went on air because I have the CD, I

549
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: have all her things, and so she said, I don't

550
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: know if I should be offended or grateful that my

551
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: husband get me foot surgery for my birthday. But I'm

552
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: researching the doctors and I got an appointment this afternoon,

553
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 3: and blah blah blah blah blah. So she went and

554
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 3: had the foot surgery to have her bunions removed. Right,

555
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: this is many many years ago when this happened, and

556
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: when we got back together in twenty twenty two, she

557
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: came in the room and woke me up. She said, Johnson,

558
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 3: I want you to look at something. She pulled the

559
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 3: robe up she wear these elongated versace robes. She'd buy

560
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: two robes of the same pattern so that her tailor

561
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: could cut the bottom and have it long to cover

562
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: her legs. So she made me touch it, and she said,

563
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 3: this is limb fidem. I want to have the surgery.

564
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: The doctor manipulated the nerve in my feet. My lymph

565
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: knows the wrong way. And I said, well, that was

566
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 3: years ago. She said, yeah, but it takes so many

567
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: years for it to get like this. And so in

568
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: my mind, I'm saying that he had you have that surgery,

569
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: so just another way he's tearing you down. Whether he

570
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: knew it or I don't think he knew. I think

571
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 3: he really just wanted her to get rid of the bidians.

572
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: But love my feet as they ease, Perriod, love all

573
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 3: of that. H don't go.

574
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 4: Changing, right because I got my bunions from my father

575
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: and I'm keeping them.

576
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: Keep them, just keep on.

577
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: And let me just tell y'all.

578
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 2: So when she started doing morning radio in New York,

579
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 2: when I was involved, Jones went through mouth surgery for

580
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: too m. She went through childbirth and still did the

581
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: show from my hospital bed and from the bed.

582
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: At the crib.

583
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 6: The childbirth was when you had the y'all had something

584
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 6: set up where she and this.

585
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: Before the stuff that we had. This is like she

586
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: had to do it for this like.

587
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 3: Ten thousand, thousand months. The biggest fraud of.

588
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: Your ass in there not did you have postpartum depression

589
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 4: or did you go? You just you right?

590
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 3: You know, I had a tsunami song. I was going

591
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: to say that that mom saved you, and they tried

592
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 3: to bring it they So I'm glad that I was home.

593
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: I know, you know you did the research on this.

594
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 5: Is this your baby right here? That that is Oh wow,

595
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: it's so crazy. This is in real time, I know, right,

596
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 5: So now you're hearing about something you brought it in

597
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 5: the tsunami song and working from home. So I was

598
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 5: working from home because Jayden was just born, and it

599
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 5: was hard because I lived still down in the Philly area.

600
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 5: Our producer at the time, they brought in a new

601
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: fancy producer, del Gatto, who came from OPI and Anthony Opian.

602
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: Anthony was a very racy, charged shock jockey type of show.

603
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: They're the ones that had the couple having sex in

604
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: the cathedral. So my boss, Tracy decided that bringing Rick

605
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: Delgatto to be the producer of the This is when

606
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 3: she asked me to come back to New York would

607
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: be a great idea. So then as soon as he

608
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 3: comes in, they let her go and he starts just

609
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 3: letting loose. So he comes up with this idea to

610
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: do a tsunami song because the tsunami had just happened.

611
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: But when the ish hit the fan people were pissed off,

612
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 3: and rightfully so, but they tried to spin it. Our

613
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: boss at the time, Barry Mao, he came in actually

614
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 3: when the Tsunami song first aired and high fived, I

615
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: have to say allegedly because he'll suit allegedly high fived

616
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: and was like, that's a crazy song. You guys are crazy,

617
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 3: laughing all the way. But then when the corporation started

618
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: McDonald's Pepsi Burgy King, they come and take their money

619
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: again because who is this Miss Jones woman that has

620
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 3: this tasteless tsunami song that's making fun of Asians and

621
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 3: all the things things. He didn't even tell them. The

622
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 3: name of the show is Miss Jones in the Morning,

623
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 3: but Miss Jones hasn't even been in the studio to

624
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 3: sing on a tsunami song. Or push a button to

625
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 3: make it play right, so but no one wanted to

626
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 3: hear that. He was trying to quickly get me out

627
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: the door. Out the door. Thank god for Melsachs attorney Malsacks,

628
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 3: the one that will later on represent Little Kima. We

629
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 3: had a meeting with him and he had the head

630
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 3: of the Asian their coalition or some organization, and he

631
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 3: had them come in behind closed doors. Was after hours,

632
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: and they said, listen, we know that it ain't you.

633
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: We know that it's the company. My beef is that

634
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: the owner of Hot ninety seven had some shady dealers

635
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: with my dad years ago when my dad wound up

636
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: going to prison. Like it always be something else. It's

637
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: never you know just what is in front of you

638
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: now it always be something bigger than you. But they

639
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: were willing to let me be sacrificed, knowing good and well,

640
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: I couldn't have sung on a Snami song. I wasn't

641
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: even there. My fault was insisting that to be played again.

642
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: That was the arrogance of me and the ego of me,

643
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: And I was only doing that because we had a

644
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 3: member on our show at that time that was trying

645
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: to separate herself from the messiness that was to show,

646
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: And in hindsight, I understand that, but I just I

647
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: always like team to be team for the audience. Yeah,

648
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: y'all could fight, pull each other's hair out, scratch each

649
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: other's eyes out behind the scenes, but we always must

650
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 3: appear to be a team, and she wasn't doing it.

651
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: So that's what my answer to that was, We'll play

652
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: it again. Stupid, stupid, Jonesy Stupid. To this day, I regret.

653
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 6: That I feel like I'm asking all the questions.

654
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: You did, all the research going on, because you have

655
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: so much.

656
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 5: Because well, first of all, I wanted to know if

657
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 5: you and Wendy have spoken recently.

658
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 3: No, she has not spun my block, but she's spoken

659
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: to you. But you know what, I think somebody took

660
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: my number out of her phone because you don't have

661
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: started and then there.

662
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 6: Would you speak to her now?

663
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we had good times when we reconnected. We was

664
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: going to Carolines. We were the night we went to Carolines,

665
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: Angela Yee and her friends were sitting at the table

666
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: next to us, and I told Wendy and she was like,

667
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: don't act like you're telling me. It's like she's so

668
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: shady now. But angel was trying to insist that Wendy

669
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: come up and take a picture on the stage, and

670
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: I was trying to not tell that Wendy couldn't get up,

671
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: so I don't wanted to give her hippoprivacy but her feet.

672
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 3: But then the next day, Angela Yee's friend, who was

673
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: writing for the poster or the something the page six,

674
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: wrote that Wendy refused to take pictures with Angela Yee

675
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: and Jonesy, and I'm like, we were we were together

676
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: number one, and she couldn't get on the stage because

677
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: her feet would not allow her. But then I realized

678
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: the angle of the camera. They were sneaking pictures of

679
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: us from underneath their table. So now my Wendy knew.

680
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: Wendy knew.

681
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 6: When was that? When year was that?

682
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty two? Twenty Yeah, I think it was twenty

683
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 3: twenty two. You remember, because we were doing a reunion

684
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: show and she tormented me and you were like, my phone,

685
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: I don't care what time of the night this is.

686
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: If you need me to come get yep, absolutely talk

687
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: about that. So then you left Hot ninety seven and

688
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: you could ask questions about that because that was craziness.

689
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: We left Hot ninety seven. We left and we were

690
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: beefing with everybody at that time.

691
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: He was social media.

692
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were social media. We beef. What people don't understand.

693
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: Is back then it was real beef, like we came

694
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: up to parties, clubs, stations.

695
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 4: It was really private.

696
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: Yes, you leave Hot ninety seven, you decide not to

697
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: do Hot ninety seven again, and you go back into

698
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 2: Philly and you had a run in Philly, and then

699
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: Philly let you go wrongly.

700
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would realize that the only reason Philly was

701
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: syndicating me from Hot ninety seven is because they didn't

702
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: want me to come back into the market on Power

703
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: ninety nine because powerdat nine always had resources Hey, thea

704
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: Hey and THEO who always loved me, and they didn't

705
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: want to get to Milish, So when they knew I

706
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: could not be a threat, they let me go. That

707
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: was again Barry Mayo, the man that brought me back

708
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: to New York, syndicated me in Philadelphia because when they

709
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: fired him, really behind the Tsunami song, he went back

710
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: to Radio one and got a job in Philly and

711
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 3: asked me to be syndicated. Right now, think about it

712
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: if I did all this tsunami song stuff and you

713
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: were ready to fire my ass, why are you hiring

714
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: me back? Which just holds me what the judges would say,

715
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: because I wound up suing everyone.

716
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: Jones is suerr by the way, she will sue you

717
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: in a minute. But so.

718
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see over here living all morning. I'd be like,

719
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm so excited, So Philly keep us on the guard rails.

720
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 5: And because he was in Philly at the time, was

721
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 5: it Golden Girl? Like what era of Philly radio was

722
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 5: its Golden Girl?

723
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: It was the hotways on Power ninety nine. Golden Girl

724
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: was at night. She was always trying to nip at

725
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: my heels and I'm.

726
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: Like, shoot at everybody, but she's well they.

727
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: To this day, Jones will called me and be like,

728
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm about to go in and I have to talk

729
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: off the ledge at our big.

730
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: Because you don't stand up for yourself enough.

731
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 6: See talk about that, would you right?

732
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: What you mean? No MVB trying to take high rolls.

733
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: He's petty. It's all petty. But then when it's time

734
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: for him, when you got them it's time to kill,

735
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: he'll fall back because I guess he thinks about the

736
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: potential lawsuits and his easy prey and.

737
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: If something go in before me, I know, Jones, but.

738
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: Will burn the whole house down.

739
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 4: Crazy good exact scene. So when I went live, they

740
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: can understand. It's sometimes and I ain't a scoop you,

741
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 4: I'm an aquarius. Oh but I just went live that

742
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 4: day and but you had to. I didn't know if

743
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 4: I was gonna have a job the next day, Jonesy,

744
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 4: That's what I did. I came to hear my bank

745
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 4: still works, and.

746
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 3: Then I caught. I was like, tell me, this is scripted.

747
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 6: Everybody thought it was fake.

748
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 4: He can't listen.

749
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: It was real.

750
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 4: Let me tell you though, when it bothered me the

751
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 4: most that I hurt his feelings, right, because Envy is

752
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 4: very loyal, right, although I still, you know, I I

753
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 4: still felt like, you know, I wasn't heard and I

754
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: felt like, you know, things were done wrong. He has

755
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: had my back since I started this ship. I'm talking

756
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 4: about like calling me, checking on me before my pregnancy,

757
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 4: my whole pregnancy, after I had the baby, everything, So

758
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 4: I understood, like him coming and heared no, it was wet,

759
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 4: it was corny, and I'm like, hold up, don't say

760
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: it with the New York accident, and that's what made

761
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: me cry. And I'm just like.

762
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: Because you knew there was a little bit of truth

763
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 3: in that.

764
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 4: Big brother a big brother spanking and like, no, would

765
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 4: not make eye contact with me when I look at

766
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: me when I talk to me, and I don't like,

767
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 4: I did not like that, you know what I mean.

768
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: But it was like what I did, I felt like

769
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 4: needed to be done, but definitely maybe a different way.

770
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 4: He's not professional, but it was just like, but.

771
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, and I'm sorry that you went through

772
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: that on air, but that made you humanize because you

773
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 3: have this tough persona and you always have a comeback

774
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: and I love that about you. But people need to

775
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 3: know that you still bleed too. Yeah, and they got

776
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: to see that, so well done.

777
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 4: So yes, he definitely is the one that, Yeah, he

778
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 4: go hard and everything, but like he do, he makes

779
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: sensible decisions and you can trust because.

780
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: He's never going to let you lose it all, although

781
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: he almost lost it all from me. So when I

782
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: came back to New York after I had had my son,

783
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 3: Jalen Sterron Buck, Wow, at this point they were over

784
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: here and they went on air asking anyone at the

785
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: hospital where I had my son to send his medical

786
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: records because he was down syndrome.

787
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: He's not down syndrome, as you can see, guys.

788
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with down syndrome. We love that. But the

789
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 3: point is he was just born, you know what I mean,

790
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: and he's asking for medical records.

791
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 4: Right.

792
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: This man right here stood up for me on the air.

793
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 3: Envy stood up for me. The company told him, Ebro,

794
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 3: I'm a big Zach told him, don't do that. Don't

795
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: mention the the station. They're still playing those old radio games.

796
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 3: We don't mention the other station on air. So so

797
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 3: Envy jumped in. He got so that same experience you

798
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: have with Envy, that little passion he got. So he

799
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 3: got more angry than I was, because I had gone

800
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: to Jalen's father and I was like, what are we

801
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: gonna do about it? I went to the uncle's Oh,

802
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 3: just ignore it. Envy said, f that. So he said

803
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 3: a man that will go after a woman and a

804
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 3: newborn and a man at all. And then Starr went

805
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 3: in on Envy's kids, and so Envy and his wife

806
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 3: heki Hey, they took that ass to quietly, took him

807
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: to court and want all that money and I want

808
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: my cut her.

809
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

810
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, before I don't I lose it.

811
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 3: It was so bad. It was so bad because there

812
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: was nothing that this company could do but fire him.

813
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 3: But it all started because Star was coming for me.

814
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 4: And his loyalty for kids, Like what.

815
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: That kids weren't off. It's kind of like how America

816
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 3: is right now. We're so desensitized to school shootings, We're

817
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: so desensitized to so many things. We're like, why is

818
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: this happening? And yet it continues to happen. I don't

819
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: want to get political in here, but it feels like

820
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: we're back there where he just thought he could say

821
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 3: and do anything, and thankfully there was a judge that

822
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 3: shut it down. And I'm glad I had you as

823
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: a big brother friend.

824
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'll do it again.

825
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 4: Damn he would, and.

826
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 6: It'd be louder, and he would use Instagram as he

827
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 6: is big bro.

828
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 2: So now you know, when Jones goes back to Philly

829
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 2: leaves Hot ninety seven, I was like you me and

830
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: miss Jones right, meaning I was mad because I'm like,

831
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: how she just gonna leave us in Philly. We've been

832
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: doing this show for three four years. And I was

833
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: mad at Jones. And I don't think I spoke to

834
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 2: Jones for like two years, three.

835
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: Years, right, I don't know you were mad at me.

836
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: We just speak maybe for five months.

837
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 3: No, Envy, that's not true.

838
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: I had to be long enough for a minute.

839
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 3: No, we spoke because I was at Power ninety nine

840
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: and Doc Winner had them conference calls. You were on it,

841
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 3: I was on it, and we were talking and we

842
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 3: didn't talk personally, but we were always on those conference calls.

843
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: So I had no idea you were mad because I

844
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 3: thought I did infight you to come to Philly, and

845
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: you said you had money in the clubs.

846
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: So I thought I was coming. I thought we was

847
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: gang gang. Yeah, she eyed your deuces and left, so

848
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: I was always mad. I'm like, damn, so I had

849
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: to start over.

850
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: But sorry, wait wait, wait, no, bring it back rewind.

851
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: I am sorry because I wanted you. I don't Maybe

852
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 3: I didn't come to you directly. Maybe I knew I

853
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 3: couldn't afford you, so maybe I asked somebody in the team.

854
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 3: Do you think I should ask Envy because he's not

855
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 3: gonna come. I can't afford to pay him. But I

856
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: thought I.

857
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: Did different free.

858
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: So when COVID hit, I haven't spoke to Jones and

859
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 2: you was watching the own network, you.

860
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 3: And your wife, and I did not know this. Jack

861
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: and Joe Mom called and said, I had no idea

862
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 3: your Miss Jones, because I had created a new life

863
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 3: for myself. Once I got fired in Philly the last,

864
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: the third time, the last time, I couldn't have I

865
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 3: couldn't mess around anymore. So I separated myself from the industry.

866
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 3: I couldn't listen to radio. It made me bleed.

867
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: To hear radio industry stuff at all.

868
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: Nothing. I changed my name. I started using my married name,

869
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 3: just so that no one could trace Miss Jones back

870
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 3: to me and that my kids would have a shame

871
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 3: free upbringing, you know, so I was I was not

872
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 3: doing that. So one of my Jack and Jail Mom

873
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 3: shot out to Jack and Jail of America called and said,

874
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: I didn't know that was you, and I said, we

875
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 3: took about and then she said there's a program on

876
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 3: own DJ MVY and his wife just said that were

877
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: it not for you giving her husband a starting radio,

878
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 3: he wouldn't be where he is. And I broke down

879
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: crying because I hadn't spoken or heard from him in years,

880
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 3: and I was angry because I felt like he's doing well.

881
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 3: The other call hosts, everybody's doing well. They started on

882
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 3: my show, and no one has reached out a hand

883
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 3: to even see if my kids had Christmas, if everybody

884
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 3: was doing okay or nothing. I was upset, but that

885
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: gave me the to get outside of my ego, to

886
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 3: pick up the phone and call and say hey, can

887
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: we talk? And he was like, hey, Jones was he.

888
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 4: Was very yeah, you were very yeah. Yeah.

889
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: Maybe crying here make me cry, so I can't look

890
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 2: at it out. So during COVID, she was telling me

891
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: what she was going through. She left the industry, she.

892
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: Didn't want to do radio anymore. She was fine just

893
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: being a mom. She had two boys.

894
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, nah, be, I'm like, I don't think

895
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 2: you understand what you bring.

896
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: So I said, this is what we're gonna do. Let's

897
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: create a reunion show.

898
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 2: We use my platform to push it, and I guarantee

899
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: you a program director will call you. Then I say that,

900
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: and then what happened in a couple of months.

901
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: I'm crying.

902
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 3: I know alone.

903
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 6: I mean, we don't, we don't know.

904
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 5: You're height of it me and Jess, but like, you

905
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 5: know what it's like to be dealing with.

906
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 3: It and being alone and feeling alone. And I felt

907
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 3: so alone all the time that I became him numb

908
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 3: to It just felt like it was always going to

909
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: be me and just me and'sally because in this I

910
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: think people look at you.

911
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 6: It's like you had a career. People think you're doing well.

912
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 6: You just don't know what.

913
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 3: People Some people think that you're so resilient that she's

914
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: not back because she doesn't choose to be back. Looking her,

915
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: she's out there being football mom, wrestling mom, pta mom.

916
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 3: She doesn't want to come back into the industry, and

917
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 3: God bless her because the industry is poisoned. Not knowing

918
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 3: I would have enjoyed, you know, having a stable check. Yeah,

919
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 3: and I was sick and I had multiple more surgeries

920
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: with the tumor, which is I want to say it's gone.

921
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: It may never leave me completely, but I had I

922
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 3: had been diagnosed with amelia blastoma since I was child

923
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 3: and was told I would never sing or have a

924
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: career that required speaking, which is why God is just

925
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 3: so miraculous right and wonderful.

926
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: But can I can I talk about the surveys.

927
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Yes, this is what made me cry.

928
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, so for Jones to make money, she would

929
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 7: do surveys.

930
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: Should go home on the wig.

931
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: And do the survey again, then go home, put on

932
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: another wig and do the survey again.

933
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: So you had three different yes to get paid to do.

934
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh sorry.

00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 3: not going down after all of that time, and I'm back.

938
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: So she would do the surveys to pay the bills

939
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 2: and rent and to get food, and she would change

940
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 2: the wigs.

941
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 4: And although it's humor in it and you know now

942
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 4: or whatever, but like you were doing what you could

943
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 4: do to take care of your baby, well you're not,

944
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 4: and to pay your bills.

00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 6: Right, but do you know that feeling?

946
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 4: So it's like.

947
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 3: I just wanted like for me, My kids did not

948
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 3: ask to be born to me. Yeah, so why should

949
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: they have to suffer and go without what their classmates

950
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 3: have because of my reckless mouth or poor decisions. And

951
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 3: the last go round, I was accused of doing something

952
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: that I didn't do and didn't even bother to investigate

953
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: whether or not I did it and a woman that

954
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 3: accused me, who they paid millions of dollars to and

955
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: they fired me. She wound up going to prison and

956
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: then they found out that I wasn't lying and that

957
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 3: she had frauded them. And then but at that point,

958
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 3: your name is mud you were You're blacklisted and black balled,

959
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: and no one wants to hire you. So you have

960
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 3: to do what you have to do. And those surveys

961
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 3: like real talk. I like still do. So this just

971
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: This that to the other.

972
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 2: I said, you're not from down there, this is your town.

973
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 2: This is where you're from. I said, somebody from New

974
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 2: York was gonna call you. She's like, you think another

975
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: month later, you got the call from New.

976
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: York, but no, but I'm in the phone store buying

977
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 3: a phone I remember because Envy calls and goes, oh,

978
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 3: you're keeping secrets, and I'm like, what are you talking about?

979
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 3: Because remember I'm doing the podcast, but I'm still in

980
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 3: the no one still knows. So so he goes, rumor

981
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 3: has it that there's a new nineties station about to

982
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 3: open up in New York this afternoon, and that Ed

983
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 3: Lover is going to be doing mornings and you're slated

984
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 3: to do afternoons. And I was like, what. He goes,

985
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: you're not listening to the radio, mind you, you still can't.

986
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: So sure enough I get a call and it's true,

987
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 3: but it wasn't. They didn't know well, they know it

988
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 3: was Nick Cannon and they were still building. And it

989
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 3: took about a good year and a half of me

990
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: meeting with Skip and Chris to convince them that the

991
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 3: Jonesy that they're hearing about, or the Jonesy that they

992
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 3: once knew that was doing shock jock stuff, has matured,

993
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 3: has children, has reasons to not come and destroy your

994
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: radio station, sir and say reckless stuff to cause us

995
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 3: all lose our jobs, right, And ultimately that really was

996
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 3: who I had grown into. Yeah, I had grown up.

997
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 3: I had grown up, and so it was I felt

998
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: like for me because the radio station dropped on my birthday.

999
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: That's me and God's thing. He knows when he does

1000
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 3: things on my birthday. Oh, that's for me. So I

1001
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 3: hung in their. I did get discouraged along the course

1002
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 3: of the way because it was just taking so long.

1003
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: Every air spot ed lover got the job at night

1004
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: or after whatever, and mornings were still hanging out there.

1005
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 3: Then I'm hearing rumors, Oh, you know, Fat Joe and

1006
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 3: Ramy are gonna get it because this is when they

1007
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 3: were filling them for Wendy. Yeah, and this one's gonna

1008
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: get it, and that one's DJ sus one's gonna get it.

1009
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 3: Was And then ultimately mister C called me and he said,

1010
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: who is Gary? And I said an agent that I

1011
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 3: that I fired because he was misrepresenting. And he said,

1012
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 3: get that man out the way because that's the reason

1013
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 3: why they're not hiring you, because they don't want to

1014
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 3: deal with him. And I said, but I already let

1015
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 3: him go, and he said, well, you need to let

1016
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: them know. So why let them know? And in fifteen

1017
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 3: minutes I had a contract in my inbox.

1018
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 4: Period. Wow, going back to what you said is not

1019
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 4: always was in front of you. It's some whole other

1020
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 4: thing you didn't even know.

1021
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 3: I had no idea. First of all, when is the

1022
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 3: last time they opened up a new station in New York?

1023
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 3: I think it was Power one oh five back in

1024
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 3: two thousand and two. Right, who's the that They're going

1025
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 3: to start a whole news station in New York and

1026
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 3: making nineties and I am the nineties girl? Well, I

1027
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 3: want to be boys sugar Hill period. I'm like, this

1028
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 3: is too easy, and God, you don't make things easy

1029
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 3: for me. A lot of women and maybe men too,

1030
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 3: we're so used to fighting and things not happening that

1031
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 3: we're always waiting for their other shoe to drop. But

1032
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: I'm so thankful. I guess that I had nothing to

1033
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 3: lose and everything to gain by humbling myself and letting

1034
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 3: it happen in their time and in God's time. Because

1035
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: here I am, and now I feel like God is

1036
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: moving me up so quickly. Because I did do a

1037
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 3: lot of work. When I was home. I got into

1038
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 3: the scripture and I would write down my pastor Darius Daniels.

1039
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 3: I would write down everything and so I could apply

1040
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 3: it whenever I was faced with a challenge because I

1041
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 3: don't want to go back to being hot heead Tarsha.

1042
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: I want to write, and so I was doing the

1043
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 3: work and I was applying the work. And even now

1044
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 3: I listen to the scripture every morning on my drive

1045
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 3: into the block because I don't want the listeners that

1046
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 3: God has blessed me with again to be tortured or

1047
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 3: tormented with some bullshit that I'm going through, right, because

1048
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 3: it's bigger than me, right, and so there's always work

1049
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 3: to be done. It never stops. I'm just thankful that

1050
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 3: I'm able to sit here with you and you and

1051
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 3: you and Charlamagne. You're here in spirit, But thank you

1052
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,040

1053
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 3: I thought it was over. I thought I was going

1054
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 3: to be Jayalen and Chay's mom, and I was happy

1055
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: being that, right, But as my kids grew older, they

1056
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 3: had needs. So I'm glad I'm in position yeah to

1057
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:40,760

00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: So.

1068
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 3: Beyond sy. It was a Friday afternoon and I don't

Speaker 3: trying to rush me out. You're still here, Jonesy.

1071

Speaker 1: You always would leave the same thing as now Friday gone.

1072
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,440

00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 3: Beyonce was coming up, and I don't think she was

1078
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 3: coming up for us. I think she was coming up

1079
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 3: for our sister station Kiss, which was two steps away.

1080
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 4: Right.

1081
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 3: So Michael Sean, the comedian on our show at the time,

1082
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 3: who's now my kind of co host at the block,

1083
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 3: he happened to be downstairs because his routine was to

1084
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 3: go down after the show and smoke. Okay, so he said,

1085
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 3: he sees a whole secret service black s uvs pull

1086
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,000

00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 4: So you have new music? I you do? Okay, let's

1241
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 4: get to that. What made you get back in? But

1242
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 4: what what is this new music about? Like?

1243
00:56:59,239 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 3: What is it?

1244
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 4: Is it a you know, all that time that you've

1245
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 4: been gone or your hiatus?

1246
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 3: What kind it's more? I haven't gotten into that yet.

1247
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 3: I have a newer, newer song that's that's for weddings.

1248
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 3: But and it's a remake. But I don't want to

1249
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 3: take the light against this. What this was is that

1250
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 3: when I did start being able to listen to radio again,

1251
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 3: there was nothing on radio being played that I really loved.

1252
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 3: So I said, let me create something. That's how I

1253
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 3: did grown Folk Fridays. There was no parties that were

1254
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 3: just for the adults. So I created grown Folk Fridays

1255
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 3: where we played throwback music and invited the throwback artists

1256
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 3: to come and perform. Now it would be called pastor mic.

1257
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 3: I did it first. But okay, so the songs are

1258
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 3: just good feeling music, dance music, and everybody loves their

1259
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,439
Speaker 3: birthday and we all think our birthday signs are the best.

1260
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 3: So this song is like called best Birthday, Best Birthday,

1261
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 3: and let's play.

1262
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, oh we want to hear it.

1263
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: We could get that on that.

1264
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 4: We got to hear it in.

1265
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: Do you have any more questions for the legendary Misgi?

1266
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 6: Well, I would you want to your relationship with Nas day?

1267
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 6: What's that?

1268
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 4: Like?

1269
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 3: What do you mean like? Like what it like?

1270
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 5: Because I know, like you were the first person to

00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 5: put him on air around the ether time, like today,

Speaker 6: Are you okay?

1278
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 5: I wasn't even laying in today? No, I mean I

1279
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 5: did have a dating question because I know you talked

00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 5: about bust of rines.

1281
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 3: But we can go either, like my son's getting mad,

1282
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 3: just want to be going to be friends because he's

1283
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,000

1285
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 3: that's hometown here a hometown friend. I actually would love

1286
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 3: to catch up with Nas because Nas is another one

1287
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 3: that has a lot of stories and when you reconnect

1288
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 3: sometimes it brings you back so you can appreciate what

1289
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 3: you've gone through to be where you are right now.

1290
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 3: And he's so bought up right now. So proud of him.

1291
00:58:58,600 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's the hometown.

1292
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to ask last question. You were

1293
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: in Biggie's video One More Chance? How was that video?

1294
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 3: That was very very special because everyone didn't get invited

1295
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 3: to be in it, and I was one of the

1296
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 3: girls whose records may not have been the biggest, but

1297
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 3: they invited me because Surety was ill, and everybody was

1298
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 3: showing up and everyone was being regular, like nobody was

1299
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 3: being nasty. Luke showed up first. You know, my ego,

1300
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 3: bigg ass I was probably there first. D nice before

1301
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 3: he was he was still DJing, but he wasn't, but

1302
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 3: he was there. Everyone came with love and excitement because

1303
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 3: we didn't even hear the song. Did He wouldn't let

1304
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 3: anybody hear And the only song that was out was

1305
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 3: the remix, So all night before I'm practicing in the

1306
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 3: mirror to the remix, not knowing that that wasn't gonna

1307
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 3: be the one, but everybody was and there were people

1308
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 3: outside still trying to get in, So I'm actually glad

1309
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 3: I got there early. But Patra shah Nay like, I'm

1310
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 3: fans of these girls and I'm and now I'm like

1311
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 3: in a video with them. And to this day when

1312
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 3: those see things like that would happen while I was

1313
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 3: raising my kids when they were little, a video would

1314
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: come on and somebody would be like that looks like you.

1315
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 3: Things like that, And I think the defining moment when

1316
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 3: the cat came out the bag that Tasha Jayalen and

1317
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 3: Jay's mom was Miss Showones I was running around, was

1318
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 3: football mom. And before a football game, you have to

1319
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 3: make sure that the announcer booth, everybody has the names

1320
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 3: of the players, the coaches, all the things, and then

1321
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 3: you have to press a button for the Whitney Houston

1322
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 3: national anthem. Bitch, I'm pressing buttons and nothing's playing, and

1323
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 3: they're all looking at the black lady in the booth

1324
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 3: that they probably think should have had no business up

1325
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 3: there to begin with. I grabbed the microphone and bust

1326
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 3: down the national anthem to the point they're clapping before

1327
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 3: I even get to the and the Land of the

1328
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 3: Free and my sons they're looking there like Jalen, that's

1329
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 3: your mom. And I'm like, hey, and the mom and

1330
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 3: at that moment they're like you're somebody you do you know?

1331
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 3: White folks start Google oh yeah up at that point

1332
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 3: and I couldn't hide. And then I was like, maybe

1333
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 3: I'm not supposed to. Maybe I need to figure out,

1334
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 3: you know, some things, and I wanted to sing. I

1335
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: just didn't want to be back in the industry. So

1336
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 3: I started singing a little band and that fulfilled me.

1337
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 3: And then that and my little surveys. The money from

1338
