Speaker 1: Hello, what is this?
Speaker 8: I don't want to say my name?
Speaker 1: Okay, well what's something on the radio? Nobody can see you.
Speaker 4: But you know, may people be listening.
Speaker 9: But I have a question because I just recently got
Speaker 9: broken up. But great, I'm in a lesbian relationship. And
Speaker 9: I went out of town not so long ago.
Speaker 8: And I, you know, I have a business.
Speaker 9: So I was networking and I was speaking to a
Speaker 9: mail about my business and who worked at the bar
Speaker 9: that I was doing my homework aap and so I
Speaker 9: came back home and he sent me a message was like, hey.
Speaker 3: How you doing.
Speaker 8: How's your family to start?
Speaker 9: Get backstafe?
Speaker 8: And my girlfriend has a problem with it, and so
Speaker 8: she broke up with me. Like she's like, I'm a lesbian,
Speaker 8: I don't deal with mails, and I'm just like I
Speaker 8: do business. I network with males and females. I just
Speaker 8: wanted to like, is that wrong?
Speaker 10: I don't think that's wrong at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, if there was, even if it was another woman,
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as y'all not flirting in this business,
Speaker 1: I don't see a problem with it.
Speaker 10: You weren't hiding it from your.
Speaker 1: Girl, So it's not like you were trying to be
Speaker 1: deceptive or sneaking around. Now I don't see a problem
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, but those you know, she she probably upset.
Speaker 1: She probably upset because you're talking to somebody who you know,
Speaker 1: got something that she could never have, which is a penis.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: And I feel like that when the insecurity only comes
Speaker 9: out with males because I speak to females in the
Speaker 9: same way and it's usually about my business as I
Speaker 9: do with males. But it's just males, she always has
Speaker 9: a problem. And I'm like, it makes me feel like, Okay,
Speaker 9: you're like immaturely dating, you don't know how to date.
Speaker 9: But I'm like, I don't know, like can have friends
Speaker 9: to man that his wife have.
Speaker 1: You know, your circumstances are totally different. Now I have
Speaker 1: to ask you a question. Did you get penis before
Speaker 1: you became a lesbian?
Speaker 10: Good question?
Speaker 1: Did you like, yes, yes, that's what it is.
Speaker 10: The problem back to penis. She don't want you to realize.
Speaker 8: But what does that have to do with me?
Speaker 3: That's her in security?
Speaker 4: Like, is that something that I'm supposed to adjust?
Speaker 1: It is? But I will say this, I will say,
Speaker 1: try to have a conversation and bring her in on
Speaker 1: part of the conversation, you asked if if my wife
Speaker 1: has male friends, we have friends.
Speaker 11: She doesn't have friends that I don't know about. She
Speaker 11: doesn't have friends, and she speaks to that I don't know.
Speaker 11: We all have friends, just like I have female friends,
Speaker 11: but my wife knows them.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 10: But it means by though, so I'm not by shut up.
Speaker 3: Many we try.
Speaker 11: To be serious, but I would give a conversation to
Speaker 11: try to make it feel comfortable as possible. Obviously she
Speaker 11: feels a little uncomfortable because she feels like you're gonna
Speaker 11: get back to the penis.
Speaker 1: But let her know that you don't want any penis.
Speaker 1: And it's all box for you.
Speaker 9: Curious, okay, all right, and go and go.
Speaker 1: And go box them out, saying go box them out? Face?
Speaker 10: What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: You heard what she said? She said? You was very
Speaker 1: like skinned to say that. I concur Hello, who's this.
Speaker 2: Hell?
Speaker 1: You said?
Speaker 10: A little off phone?
Speaker 1: You got bluetooth in or your head piece? He hear me?
Speaker 1: I can hear you perfectly.
Speaker 5: Whatever, All right, what's up?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 5: Calling to get off my dad? Brother, get off my chest? Yeah. No,
Speaker 5: me and my girl. We finally feeling good today. Me
Speaker 5: and my girl we offer seven month dry fell man
Speaker 5: like you know, so we finally have you know, inter
Speaker 5: course again and I feel good about it.
Speaker 10: Seven months? Why so long?
Speaker 1: Huh said? Why so long?
Speaker 5: I kind of you know, I kind of messed up
Speaker 5: with you know, I was cheating. I was messing up
Speaker 5: a little bit cheating. Not cheating, you know, not not
Speaker 5: physically cheating, probably emotionally cheating. So uh, yeah, she finally
Speaker 5: you know, so it was a while she wasn't you know,
Speaker 5: feeling me.
Speaker 1: Do you know, y'all do no? Humans, women especially are
Speaker 1: more emotional than physical, so emotionally cheating and emotionally hurting
Speaker 1: her can probably cause her to dry up more so
Speaker 1: than the physical.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean? You know, I realized that.
Speaker 10: Yes, I'm glad you y'all are back.

Speaker 10: Get it off your chest?
Speaker 12: What's going on?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 12: I love you guys.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: So I've been on a team the last couple of
Speaker 4: times I got through about toxic people, and lately it's
Speaker 4: been I find it's more family usually than it is
Speaker 4: than anybody. And so I found I'm forty five and
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people can relate Rocker life.
Speaker 4: We you know, we main need to lean on people
Speaker 4: for help. And it might be in a rough time.
Speaker 4: It might be a house payment, it might be they
Speaker 4: order you a pizza when you down on your luck,
Speaker 4: and then you find out these people get mad at you.
Speaker 4: You know, it could be a six months down the road,
Speaker 4: two years down the look, you know, they're on your
Speaker 4: Facebook because they're mad, and you find out that you
Speaker 4: owe them a million dollars all of a sudden, Well
Speaker 4: they didn't order you a pizza. They you know, they
Speaker 4: act like they be buying food for the last three years.
Speaker 4: You know, the story justn't completely blown out of contact
Speaker 4: because they're mad.
Speaker 1: That's why sometimes you just got to give people thoughts
Speaker 1: and press absolutely not you.
Speaker 4: Know what, And I tried to you know what, I
Speaker 4: I just put this real quick. I put this on
Speaker 4: my bio. I heard it a new Facebook, and I'm
Speaker 4: adding friends that I would try to go to their
Speaker 4: funeral or if they would come to mind, because otherwise.
Speaker 12: It's just disgrace.
Speaker 4: School people got two thousand friends and they don't even
Speaker 4: know half of them. I put this in my bio.
Speaker 4: When I need help, give me a hug, not money.
Speaker 4: That way, you're mad. All I owe you is a hug.
Speaker 1: But I will I will say this.
Speaker 11: You know, in life, and I think Charlamagne and I
Speaker 11: think even you can will say this, it's.
Speaker 1: Always highs and lows, right. You always have a good
Speaker 1: part of your life with everything is going great, but
Speaker 1: it could be a left turn and sometimes you need help.
Speaker 11: And it doesn't have to be financial. It could be
Speaker 11: just a good you know, a hug, or a good
Speaker 11: hold or good conversation. And those are the people I
Speaker 11: keep around me. And whether they family or friends, it's
Speaker 11: all the same. If you can't provide me that and
Speaker 11: I can't provide you that, then we don't need to
Speaker 11: be around each other. But I want to be around
Speaker 11: people that's going to hold hold each other up and
Speaker 11: make sure we all all right.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest problem. I think the biggest problem
Speaker 1: is that you know your family, and you know and
Speaker 1: your close friends be having a sense of entitlement. That's true,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And when they want, when
Speaker 1: they want more, they act like you never did anything
Speaker 1: for them, you know what I'm saying. So he could
Speaker 1: be a pizza or you know, our money when they
Speaker 1: want more. Anything you ever did will never be enough
Speaker 1: to act like you never did anything correct, you know,
Speaker 1: And I can't. I don't deal with entitled people. Gets
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 10: That's hilarious is our guest.
Speaker 1: So so, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 10: Stephanie Mills, good morning, Miss Mills.
Speaker 7: Good morning, good morning. Oh yeah, eyes, I'm fine. Don't
Speaker 7: you think he has bamby beautiful eyes.
Speaker 1: Beautiful?
Speaker 3: That's my baby.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I love Stephanie Mills. You know that we have
Speaker 7: a love affair. He's like my son. He could be
Speaker 7: my son.
Speaker 1: That's right, literally son. Now you got a lot going on,
Speaker 1: Miss Mills. You got your PBS special.
Speaker 3: I have a lot going on the Broadway, Babe.
Speaker 1: Pride.
Speaker 3: The movie.
Speaker 7: Pride executive produced the TDJ Derek Williams, and they just
Speaker 7: offered me the part. Derek called me and said, do
Speaker 7: you want to do this role?
Speaker 3: And sent me the script and I said yes, And
Speaker 3: You're torn. I'm torn, Wow, And I'm getting ready this possibility.
Speaker 7: I'm getting ready to come back to Broadway to do.
Speaker 3: My own shot?
Speaker 1: What based on your life?
Speaker 7: No not, I don't want to do anything based on
Speaker 7: my life, but just songs and where I've come from
Speaker 7: and all of that.
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, how are you managing everything that you're doing
Speaker 1: at the moment?
Speaker 7: I have a great manager I call amp Yum Yums.
Speaker 7: He's just he's a yummy manager. You know how when
Speaker 7: you find somebody that just you can trust.
Speaker 3: And believes in you.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, so pretty, thank you so much. So, how does
Speaker 3: it feel to still be so legendary? Like forty years later?
Speaker 1: Relevant?
Speaker 5: You like?
Speaker 3: Relevant? Relevant? Even is like just still like it's people
Speaker 3: still walking around singing your songs. He can't sing, but
Speaker 3: he was literally walking around still just sing your songs
Speaker 3: before you even said yeah, I come up there with
Speaker 3: y'all and he was still walking around singing, Like how
Speaker 3: does how does that feel?
Speaker 7: It's a blessing. I feel really blessed because I didn't
Speaker 7: have the machinery behind me.
Speaker 3: Okay you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: So for me to still be here doing it and
Speaker 7: I'm doing it on my own terms because I kind
Speaker 7: of backed away from the industry because it became too
Speaker 7: much for me to still do it and then find
Speaker 7: someone like Amp who believed in me and allows me
Speaker 7: to be who I am, because you know, in this
Speaker 7: business they try to change you to meet a certain criteria.
Speaker 7: And I never fit into that criteria and didn't want to.
Speaker 3: And I love that. I love that, And and so
Speaker 3: for the Rolling Stones magazine, greatest of all time? Yeah,
Speaker 3: the greatest one of things of all time? How do
Speaker 3: you feel being left out of that? I don't feel anything.
Speaker 7: I don't pay any attention to that. That's something behind
Speaker 7: a desk who doesn't really know what they're talking enough.
Speaker 3: How could you leave Celine Dion off? How could you?
Speaker 3: It's a great you know, how could you?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 3: I don't pay attention to that.
Speaker 7: I don't pay attention to awards and all that, even
Speaker 7: though I have awards of everything that of musically.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 7: What means matters to me, and which has kept me
Speaker 7: with my sold out shows that I'm proud of is
Speaker 7: my people coming to see me and paying their hard
Speaker 7: earned money.
Speaker 3: That's what keeps me going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, igue with you with the Rolling Stone. Clearly those
Speaker 1: people are culturally coolest, you know what I mean? Leaving
Speaker 1: people like you, Selina.
Speaker 7: But see, I was never played on vh one or MTV,
Speaker 7: none of my videos because they always said I was
Speaker 7: too urban and I only had a pop record with
Speaker 7: Never Knew Love. That's the only one they allowed to
Speaker 7: cross over.
Speaker 1: I wonder you said something earlier. You said that you
Speaker 1: never had the machine behind you. And it's interesting because
Speaker 1: you can see how that might still impact you now
Speaker 1: when it comes to these lists.
Speaker 7: Right exactly when you think about it, like back in
Speaker 7: the day when MTV, I my MTV and they didn't
Speaker 7: want to play Michael. You know, it was a president
Speaker 7: of the company that said, if you don't play him,
Speaker 7: I'm going to expose that you're racist. And I don't
Speaker 7: think really anything has changed. I think you have to
Speaker 7: have And back then I didn't have that kind of
Speaker 7: person that would go on the front line for me.
Speaker 7: But Michael did, and I'm glad he did because just
Speaker 7: imagine you not hearing Thriller the way it was, or
Speaker 7: being exposed to all those wonderful videos that he did.
Speaker 7: And they didn't acknowledge his forty at the anniversary of
Speaker 7: Thriller or anything at the Grammys or American Music a BOYD.
Speaker 1: How did they pick and choose who got the machine
Speaker 1: back then though, because I feel like back then you
Speaker 1: really needed talent to get a deal.
Speaker 7: You really needed talent to get a deal. That's why
Speaker 7: my audience is predominantly black, because Beet and all those
Speaker 7: black outlets played my videos, you know, and black radio
Speaker 7: supported me so much. So that's why I'm able to survive.
Speaker 7: That's why I don't understand why a lot of black
Speaker 7: artists like don't go back to the black publications and
Speaker 7: things like that that made them, well, I know, white,
Speaker 7: I colder always why, you know, I don't understand that.
Speaker 7: I never understand why they think vanilla ice cream is
Speaker 7: colder than chocolate.
Speaker 1: I think it's because they want that mass look, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 3: But you could have that. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 7: I went to Oh What's the Girls group? They came
Speaker 7: to Charlotte and they sold out the arena. There was
Speaker 7: nothing there but black people escape.
Speaker 3: Yes, so what's wrong with the black dollar? I definitely
Speaker 3: get what you're saying that. My generation they also feel
Speaker 3: like because I don't, although I'm a part of them,
Speaker 3: they felt that's some type of advanced validation. When you
Speaker 3: get like then they call it the crossover. It's like,
Speaker 3: you know, and people, I did a show for Fox,
Speaker 3: Sitcom on Fox. People around ye shout to the show
Speaker 3: real and I was on it with Simbad he played
Speaker 3: It was amazing, right, I love him too, Like the
Speaker 3: show people was telling me because people was only used
Speaker 3: to seeing me on like wild'n Out and all that
Speaker 3: type of stuff, you know, more production with black people.
Speaker 3: And then they were like, oh, that's your crossover. Fox
Speaker 3: is your crossover. It's like you really made it. Now,
Speaker 3: I really made it because I'm on Fox, you know,
Speaker 3: working around all these white people. No, I've been made
Speaker 3: it and it's still I still ain't make it. That's
Speaker 3: that sitcom wasn't like the cream of the crop for
Speaker 3: me yet. I'm still not where I want to be
Speaker 3: in terms of you know, just where I'm going, right,
Speaker 3: But I didn't consider that as my crossover. That's another
Speaker 3: show that I'm on. That's another stepping stone, right, Like
Speaker 3: you know, so I never so I get exactly what
Speaker 3: you're saying.
Speaker 7: And that's what we think. We think when we cross
Speaker 7: over to that pop we've made it. Why do we
Speaker 7: want to be so accepted? And I never really want
Speaker 7: I just wanted to be accepted. I wasn't good at smoothing,
Speaker 7: you know, Charla Mane, I wasn't good at doing that,
Speaker 7: and I didn't want to go to the parties and
Speaker 7: have to meet this one. And I didn't like auditioning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that's Do you like it? No?
Speaker 7: I know they look at you like you're crazy, but
Speaker 7: they make it.
Speaker 1: So hard for you.
Speaker 3: I won't do it, or don't act like.
Speaker 10: We got more with Stephanie Mills when we come back,
Speaker 10: don't move.
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Let's
Speaker 1: get back into it.
Speaker 2: It's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 10: Good morning.
Speaker 3: I got a question Michael too, because I want to
Speaker 3: know I will answer. Okay, good. So it's the true
Speaker 3: that you and Michael I called it daty?
Speaker 1: How was that?
Speaker 3: It was wonderful.
Speaker 7: Michael was gentle, he was kind, very determined, knew where
Speaker 7: he wanted to go, and we just had fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Used to come to the Wiz all the time.
Speaker 3: So was he a smooth criminal? It was a smooth criminal.
Speaker 7: I loved him that afro and chocolate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So why did he change all that? I think
Speaker 1: that's what people get. Michael misconscrewed and you know, they'll
Speaker 1: they'll they label Michael tom as an uncle Tom or
Speaker 1: you know, a coon because of that.
Speaker 7: I gotta be strategic because that's my baby. But Michael
Speaker 7: wanted to be the King of pop He had a
Speaker 7: fetish with Elvis Presley and he had his eyes on
Speaker 7: Lisa Presley when she was very young. I think he
Speaker 7: always knew he wanted to because he felt like.
Speaker 3: That was the epitome.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, and I think he really wanted to
Speaker 7: be king.
Speaker 3: But then when he got.
Speaker 7: Over there, they showed him that you still.
Speaker 3: And he broke his heart.
Speaker 1: Did y'all have a relationship up until his path?
Speaker 3: No, he was too different. I couldn't relate to that. Michael.
Speaker 7: It had gone too far. But I think he knew
Speaker 7: that it had gone too far.
Speaker 3: But what can you do. You can't go back at
Speaker 3: this point. You can't go back.
Speaker 7: Because we went to the opening of the Atlantist and
Speaker 7: he asked me to come. He asked to see me,
Speaker 7: and I didn't go because I was rehearsing, and I
Speaker 7: often wondered what.
Speaker 3: He wanted, what he wanted to tell me.
Speaker 7: He probably wanted to tell me something or you know,
Speaker 7: but it had gone too far.
Speaker 3: And I couldn't relate.
Speaker 7: And Michael was taught the moonwalk by my ex husband
Speaker 7: Jeffrey Daniel.
Speaker 3: I went to those rehearsals.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know everybody claimed that they did not Jeffrey
Speaker 7: Daniel taught Michael the moonwalk and all those things. But
Speaker 7: you know, the Motown people, they don't always give people credit.
Speaker 7: You know, they're taught not to give people credit. I
Speaker 7: love giving people credit for what they do for me
Speaker 7: because you can't do this by yourself. But you know,
Speaker 7: Michael never gave him credit, and he should have.
Speaker 1: M It's just interesting to me, how, you know. I
Speaker 1: always wondered, like, what can make a person like totally
Speaker 1: lose their blackness? And have you seen somebody lose their
Speaker 1: blackness or fall out with black people find a way
Speaker 1: to get back with the community. Cause it feels like
Speaker 1: once you, once you turn your back on us, we
Speaker 1: turned our back on you forever.
Speaker 3: But look at it.
Speaker 7: You know, I can remember a time people not gonna
Speaker 7: like this either, But I can remember a time when
Speaker 7: Michael would be at the awards and you would have
Speaker 7: to get in a line to see him. I never
Speaker 7: did that. I'm not getting an a line to see nobody.
Speaker 7: Ain't nobody is that important. Nobody's more important than God.
Speaker 7: And I think there's no one that's you know, like
Speaker 7: some people say, well, how can you say something about
Speaker 7: Oprah or something about Gail?
Speaker 3: Aren't you afraid? I fear God? And you know that,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 7: That, Charlamagne. I only fear fear God. I don't feel
Speaker 7: a backlash. I mean, I'm sixty six years old, right.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: But I think and nobody's above critique, Like nobody. I
Speaker 7: don't care who you are and how much money you have,
Speaker 7: because you could lose that. Look at Harvey Weinstein. I
Speaker 7: remember a certain person calling him God. I you know,
Speaker 7: Charlie Rose, who would have thought, you know, Matt lower.
Speaker 3: Where he's kind of arrogant. He was arrogant.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, But I just don't think that anybody's under approach.
Speaker 7: But I do think Michael knew he went too far.
Speaker 7: And you got to remember towards the end of his
Speaker 7: career he went to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and
Speaker 7: he even wanted to give Pops his minister barrickon his
Speaker 7: his catalog and Pops wouldn't that Rye can be vicious
Speaker 7: as we see with other people that are white dealing
Speaker 7: with it. Britney Spears, and and and and I go
Speaker 7: back to them because I really see how the business
Speaker 7: has tormented them and the people around them.
Speaker 1: The movie Pride seven Deadly Sinned story. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: on lifetime.
Speaker 7: Yes, with nephew Tommy, who did a brilliant job. He
Speaker 7: plays with my son Gabe, and Kenya King who's a
Speaker 7: Canadian actress, and Erica Campbell came in to uh play
Speaker 7: Pastor Tray?
Speaker 1: Is your first feature?
Speaker 7: My first feature?
Speaker 1: That's crazy, my first So since Broadway and everything else,
Speaker 1: nobody decided seventy milis should be active.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't give me a job. Damn they wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Do you want to do more? Oh?
Speaker 7: Yes, I got the bug now, but I'm not auditioning.
Speaker 3: No, no, she's not auditioning, so don't ask her.
Speaker 1: What roles? Would you want to play?
Speaker 3: Mothers?
Speaker 7: I mean I could play a mother, you know, an
Speaker 7: older sister, but mothers. I want to do a Christmas Yes,
Speaker 7: I'm a therapist. Or I want to play somebody really
Speaker 7: tough and like gangster.
Speaker 1: I can see that too. I can see that too.
Speaker 3: Now, until you see your side.
Speaker 1: I would Kevin, you know anybody shorter than you? When

Speaker 1: The only thing I found odd about their relationship is
Speaker 1: that Rome is rom on the phone. Yeah, rooms on
Speaker 1: the phone, rong rong, good on wrong, come on peace
Speaker 1: king now room. I heard oh with her just talking
Speaker 1: yesterday and she was saying, how you call her sis? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Now you done shot her club up? Y'all got a
Speaker 1: whole ten year old first of all, seven, why do
Speaker 1: you call her siss?
Speaker 12: Because the situation is right now and we built to
Speaker 12: that point. But it's like I looked at.
Speaker 8: Her like a sister family member, be said.
Speaker 6: That take the shihead, await man.
Speaker 5: It is different.
Speaker 12: It's hard to explain. Some people call it weird, but.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's no more sexual. It's just that's
Speaker 1: my sister. That's the you know, that's my love. I
Speaker 1: don't killed somebody from m but I ain't shooting the
Speaker 1: club up again. I think y'all soul makes wrong, Yeah.
Speaker 12: But you know what it is, no sexual Yeah, that's
Speaker 12: just what it is.
Speaker 1: You know. You know. I'm but how did y'all get
Speaker 1: to that point though, because most people don't get to
Speaker 1: that point How did y'all get to that point where
Speaker 1: you guys are damn their best friends. Y'all focus on
Speaker 1: your future, your life, the business, the baby, the family.
Speaker 1: But y'all can still do your thing.
Speaker 3: Rome has been through a lot of things and like
Speaker 3: he he don't really have a lot of family to
Speaker 3: rely on. He don't really have a lot of friends
Speaker 3: to rely on. It through the years, he'll have friends,
Speaker 3: then he don't. Then they'll like to open up. And
Speaker 3: he's never felt like he was in a safe space enough.
Speaker 3: You got to provide like a safe space for a
Speaker 3: man to even open up and become vulnerable, because that's
Speaker 3: not what they do, especially man, They don't, you know.
Speaker 3: And I was the first female that just didn't run
Speaker 3: from his whole story, didn't judge him, always helped them.
Speaker 3: Now he has a best friend and she you know,
Speaker 3: they they cool, but like it's a little bit more
Speaker 3: hands on with me, like and after all the feelings
Speaker 3: and getting past them. We became friends on that. You know,
Speaker 3: I was like a therapist for him or whatever, and
Speaker 3: he the same foot. Well, he don't really do nothing
Speaker 3: for me in.
Speaker 1: That asset my parent you know you don't.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, yeah, that is big wrong.
Speaker 1: That is big wrong.
Speaker 12: What's that elaborated on that you take out all the
Speaker 12: emotions and are feeling and you can be great. Yeah,
Speaker 12: but one of the biggest problems we did had that
Speaker 12: we was able to overcome as well.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 12: Jacksually did like over that boundary the little bit like
Speaker 12: in relationships, what.
Speaker 1: You mean, She'll she'll run up on girls you messing
Speaker 1: with no no but.
Speaker 12: Me and made a good advice. She she wanted to
Speaker 12: be she would want to be in it two months
Speaker 12: and then I used to used to make me mad
Speaker 12: because I always feel like I mind my business when
Speaker 12: it comes to you. Even when she realized that it
Speaker 12: took that away, it became even better.
Speaker 10: So you're trying to holler out a chicken.
Speaker 11: She's telling you, now, I don't like shorty, shorty, did
Speaker 11: Shorty that she dived into your relationship?
Speaker 3: Just no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wrong, not even
Speaker 3: necessarily that right, Let me tell him what it is
Speaker 3: wrong because you you're talking a little slow. You just
Speaker 3: woke up, obviously. Look, this is the thing that room
Speaker 3: room will be in a relationship, and then Rome will
Speaker 3: introduced me to these girls. Rome will want me to
Speaker 3: build a nice, little cool relationship with them. And then
Speaker 3: when things start happening because he's not able to be
Speaker 3: faithful lawyer or whatever.
Speaker 1: Then damn, it's yeah.
Speaker 3: Then it's they they then I got and then they
Speaker 3: break up with him, and now when he beefing with him,
Speaker 3: I gotta beef with him. And it's like no, but
Speaker 3: now it's am I your business? But you called me,
Speaker 3: you put me in the business. But don't be in
Speaker 3: a business too damn much. Don't be saying like I'd
Speaker 3: be giving a damn that much. I just give a
Speaker 3: damn about you like you be introducing me. That's how
Speaker 3: I end up cool with all the baby mothers, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like, and they cool, and I
Speaker 3: love his kids like and even girls they didn't have
Speaker 3: babies with a lot of them were cool. But then
Speaker 3: he moved, bing bing bing bing bing. Here it is like, dang,
Speaker 3: what happened to shorten? Don't worry about it?
Speaker 1: You move on with me. I don't know what you do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I want to know how many
Speaker 1: more relationships are out there, like just in Rome, Like
Speaker 1: how many people got baby daddy brothers? Right? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Because you got a baby daddy brother,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And you got a baby
Speaker 1: mama's sister. But it takes a lot, and you gotta comment.
Speaker 12: I think it's a lot. I just think it's not
Speaker 12: the norm and people are agreed to put it to
Speaker 12: the world because of being be not the first person
Speaker 12: to do this.
Speaker 1: I know that I've never seen it. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I've just never seen it evolve go from a baby
Speaker 1: mama uh to to you know, Oh that's like that's
Speaker 1: my sister. And y'all really hold each other down like that.
Speaker 1: I think that let's take some calls. Let's say, Roman,
Speaker 1: appreciate you.
Speaker 10: I know you, we just woke you up. We appreciate
Speaker 10: you for checking in.
Speaker 1: Brother. Appreciate and Rome, you're a great father. Man, You're
Speaker 1: a great father. I love the way you hold it
Speaker 1: down for your son.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 12: I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 12: Thank you you having brothday.
Speaker 10: Hello is this this is man? Yay, jazz me, good morning.
Speaker 6: I have a baby daddy, but it is not peaceful.
Speaker 6: So parenting is not easy. And we spent thirteen years
Speaker 6: together and I felt like yesterday listening to just fix
Speaker 6: people's messages, I thought about you know, I think their
Speaker 6: relationship is so commendable. They co parents so gracefully, and
Speaker 6: you know, they're funny together. They make it, they make
Speaker 6: it a good time. They make it look like a
Speaker 6: good time. So I'm like, how how is that even possible?
Speaker 3: Just it just literally shut up. It just literally takes.
Speaker 3: It takes time, it really does. And you know it
Speaker 3: it depends on how y'all both feel about each other.
Speaker 3: You know, y'all still does one half feelings for the
Speaker 3: other one. You know, it's just okay, okay, you said
Speaker 3: that very strongly.
Speaker 1: Very but you said.
Speaker 6: You couldn't pay me the sweet Framewater girl.
Speaker 4: Okaye.
Speaker 1: Well do you do you even like them at all? No?
Speaker 10: Okay, so you don't even want to be you' even
Speaker 10: like it?
Speaker 6: But because I know the bigger it is, the bigger
Speaker 6: picture is my children. So I know how to put
Speaker 6: my bike on to the side.
Speaker 3: Right, but don't think right? Okay, all right, but are
Speaker 3: you still heard about anything is that's what is that
Speaker 3: was stopping?
Speaker 6: Well, I will say this, I am very betrayed. I
Speaker 6: was very betrayed from the beginning, so that it's hard for.
Speaker 1: Me to let go.
Speaker 3: Definitely.
Speaker 11: Okay, So you still I don't think you could be
Speaker 11: friends unless you let that go, because you'll always have
Speaker 11: that overyard relationship even if y'all just become friends.
Speaker 1: So I think that's where it has to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you know about having a baby daddy, it was
Speaker 1: a lot of things. What the hell you're my only
Speaker 1: baby daddy, which is what was going on here?
Speaker 3: Hold on, all right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: You want just to fix the mess?
Speaker 6: Yes, I need to know, I want I need her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's but that's what it literally takes.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 3: You just have to get past your hurt. Because a
Speaker 3: lot of things wrong did to me. I had to
Speaker 3: let go. I didn't just put them to the side.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a big difference between putting it to
Speaker 3: the side and really getting past it. It was man,
Speaker 3: he had ran into a lump summer money. I was broke,
Speaker 3: lights off everything, the and my son and we had
Speaker 3: to we had candles, I had a car. I had
Speaker 3: to go in the car to get air. All of that,
Speaker 3: and he knew all of this, but I couldn't hold
Speaker 3: that over his head. I didn't have time to hate
Speaker 3: him because he was so young, never had no money,
Speaker 3: so when he got it, he just did whatever he
Speaker 3: wanted to do with it.
Speaker 1: You feel me.
Speaker 3: And he was young.
Speaker 1: He never tossed y'all nothing, No, he.
Speaker 3: Never, no, he never talk to me anything.
Speaker 1: Be a good story.
Speaker 10: I thought he came up with some money and helped
Speaker 10: you out. Oh no, I don't know to this day.
Speaker 1: No, So how do you stay from being discrediled?
Speaker 2: How did you?
Speaker 3: I didn't have time to hate him, yo, Listen. I
Speaker 3: was trying to figure out the next game, the next
Speaker 3: way to get some money, to way to get my
Speaker 3: lights on, Like he ain't, never had no bread like that,
Speaker 3: And so when he came into it, he just you know.
Speaker 1: Know that. From what I'm getting from your situation and
Speaker 1: hearing these calls is you never stopped liking him as
Speaker 1: a person, as a friend, You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: These people grew to hate their baby daddy. I think
Speaker 1: once you go to hate your baby daddy's hard to
Speaker 1: come back from that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, what's the story.
Speaker 3: I guess just what, y'all, I'm not drunk no more.
Speaker 3: Stop being drunk at four o'clock this morning.
Speaker 1: Look the moral of the.
Speaker 3: Story, I don't really know what the moral of the
Speaker 3: story is. It ain't no story. It's just you know,
Speaker 3: you you just you have to learn how to move
Speaker 3: forward am amicable. Yeah I'm still drunk, all right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you have to learn how to You gotta learn how
Speaker 3: to move forward amicably. Yes, with the with the other parent, Yo,
Speaker 3: you got to take all them feelings out of there.
Speaker 3: If y'all want to be like me and Rome, you
Speaker 3: gotta take out all those feelings and you can't hold
Speaker 3: on to hurt like yeah, like Charlamagne say. And I
Speaker 3: never got to the point where I wanted to hate them, Yo,
Speaker 3: I was gonna hate him. My life is still gonna
Speaker 3: be off. I ain't got time for that. And I
Speaker 3: never stopped him from saying the sun not ever. Look,
Speaker 3: please come get them, but bring them back, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? Like never, It's never been no malicious intent,
Speaker 3: no nothing, no ever took com downtown. And I should have,
Speaker 3: you know, I felt like I should have back then
Speaker 3: like now, but I just didn't want to do that.
Speaker 3: I was like that girl who called up earlier, it
Speaker 3: was gonna be a struggle fantists.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was rooted in respect until it
Speaker 1: grew into what it is now. I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of these relationships aren't rooted in respect, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's good suit everybody out there with
Speaker 1: a baby, daddy, brother and figured out my sister.
Speaker 3: People that figured it out because I love my room.
Speaker 3: You know, I love my best bro. That's your ma.
Speaker 3: That's it. Ain't got to be somebody that you with.
Speaker 3: You can have a best friend of the so many
Speaker 3: you can have. I'm telling you, it's your soul. And
Speaker 3: ain't got nothing to do with instancy.

Speaker 3: wrote it. I wrote the cabaret. I created it, I
Speaker 3: produced it, I do everything about it. I act in it.
Speaker 3: So basically, it's like a group of ladies. They compete
Speaker 3: to be inside of my cabaret. Actually, less performance which
Speaker 3: was Saturday, I had twelve ladies dance with me on stage.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Some of them put theirselfs on fire, shoes on fire,
Speaker 3: they skate on stage. So it's like a whole show
Speaker 3: that this first actually moving to the house. They compete.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like, uh, it's like Tyra Banks with
Speaker 3: her show with the Modern Show, except that they're dancing.
Speaker 1: They're not modeling, you know what.
Speaker 10: They set themselves on fire on the pole.
Speaker 3: On the pole they choose they kitty cat everything be
Speaker 3: on fire, the kit the kiddy cat be on fire,
Speaker 3: did envy?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 3: You talking about, yes, you know, not that type of
Speaker 3: like you know, messed up fire. I'm talking about like
Speaker 3: fun fire, like you know, like a real show, like
Speaker 3: a real show. Definitely this season the Ladies step third
Speaker 3: game up because season one, season two, season three of
Speaker 3: the Cabaret it was great, and you know, we built
Speaker 3: to it. You know, the first season, I was trying
Speaker 3: to get the ladies to understand my vision. I want
Speaker 3: to do a cabaret with my music and I want
Speaker 3: some dancers, and says I'm a musician. I want to
Speaker 3: do it on TV. I want the girls to dance.
Speaker 3: I want to I want to make it make sense.
Speaker 3: I want to make it make one. Some of the
Speaker 3: girls didn't believe. Season two, we did it. One of
Speaker 3: them one ten thousand dollars. We performing Atlanta. We did
Speaker 3: the whole choreography to one of my songs.
Speaker 1: So that was great.
Speaker 3: Season three, I went on tour to twelve different cities.
Speaker 3: It was a lot. It was quick, it was fast,
Speaker 3: so we really need to have an actual show. But
Speaker 3: the people love that, you know, they can they seen
Speaker 3: the girls getting on stage door and they thing them
Speaker 3: in the post. But now season four, it's more organized.
Speaker 3: We got a routine, we got the whole show. It's
Speaker 3: a thirty minute show. I think I'm performing like eight
Speaker 3: songs for thirty minutes, and you know, then I do
Speaker 3: my meeting. Read my last tour, I would just go
Speaker 3: and just keep before me. But now I have to,
Speaker 3: like you know, I have to preserve myself.
Speaker 1: I have to film.
Speaker 3: And I'm actually also filming Season four at the Cabaret
Speaker 3: that would be airing next one on Suious Network.
Speaker 11: You think people don't take you serious because of the
Speaker 11: love and hip hop, because of the College Hill, because
Speaker 11: of the Cabaret, like they don't take you as serious
Speaker 11: as you feel like they should.
Speaker 3: I feel like they take me super serious. I always
Speaker 3: have Cella shows. I have my only my fans that
Speaker 3: I personally fans of Johnson that if you go on
Speaker 3: my Instagram, on my Twitter or any of the hashtags.
Speaker 3: At the Cabaret, they say my songs word for word,
Speaker 3: word for word, like you got. I do shows sometimes
Speaker 3: with fifteen hundred people, twenty five hundred people, one hundred people,
Speaker 3: three hundred people, five hundred people. It's different cities, different shows,
Speaker 3: different locations, and every city you go to they sing
Speaker 3: my songs every song, not just birthday song, not just
Speaker 3: Vegas I want to ride, but every now of the week,
Speaker 3: get Rico, fingupcheck slay every song. They run me my
Speaker 3: money every song that I have. And I you know,
Speaker 3: I've never put out an album, but I put out
Speaker 3: singles like all the time. And so I definitely feel
Speaker 3: like people has taken me.
Speaker 1: Seriously.
Speaker 3: Do I feel like it took them a long time?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: But do I feel who am I to be before
Speaker 3: anyone else? I just have to keep working. If I
Speaker 3: believe in myself, I have to just keep pushing. I
Speaker 3: love that I see a lot of different things for you.
Speaker 3: It's like, why the hell you won't get into like
Speaker 3: pro wrestling? Why?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 12: What?
Speaker 1: What was happening? Like? Why you won't go in some
Speaker 1: pro What is wrong with you?
Speaker 3: Slapping security? You're supposed to protect you. She's slapping this
Speaker 3: quick enough clouds. So I tell you what, I tell
Speaker 3: you what I'm not really you know. You know I
Speaker 3: just got out of jail. Yes, you know, I just
Speaker 3: got out of jail. There's really not too much that
Speaker 3: I could talk on that, But I will, you know,
Speaker 3: because you know, you know, I was gone, girl, I
Speaker 3: was in a lot of the el Brownwood County. I
Speaker 3: was cold, came out with a coughing everything I thought
Speaker 3: I was for two days, and I'm seeing it up
Speaker 3: here as sick as a dog.
Speaker 6: Why me?
Speaker 5: Why me?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So I can't really speak too much on that,
Speaker 3: but but what I can say is that I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Always protect Yes, how do you say it is?
Speaker 10: Protect?
Speaker 1: Yes? Me? Right?
Speaker 3: And if you see me out here in the streets,
Speaker 3: when you know, you two in the world America, whoever
Speaker 3: knows me, know where I come from and what I've
Speaker 3: done and how I've changed, you know, I'm just making
Speaker 3: sure that I'm straight and no one hurts me, you know.
Speaker 3: So you know, the media only show you one thing.
Speaker 3: It looks like a whole lot of chaos, but you
Speaker 3: might not know what happened prior to that chaos, like
Speaker 3: five seconds before or ten seconds before. You just see
Speaker 3: like the row, right, And because it's me, it's always
Speaker 3: so much bigger than what it actually is. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: that's another big point too. So it's like even to
Speaker 3: keep going back to a you know, love and hip hop,
Speaker 3: they had you, I know that the it was a
Speaker 3: lot of tension with you on Mona because it's like
Speaker 3: she always wanted to portray you in that light. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Do you ever feel any way
Speaker 3: about that, like how you would be for Mona about it?
Speaker 3: Then you go over in Laul Lamel. He got you,
Speaker 3: you know, looking the same way when you're so many
Speaker 3: of the things and just fighter. Well, I say this,
Speaker 3: I will sell this. Shout out. Shout out to Mona
Speaker 3: and shout out to let me. They both gave me
Speaker 3: amazing opportunities. And I will also say I'm a grown
Speaker 3: person right the way I run my cabaret as far
Speaker 3: as like being on Suit's network, because when I did
Speaker 3: love on hip hop, I was like, you know, I
Speaker 3: was younger, I was wild, I was out there. So
Speaker 3: it's only but so much that and network could do
Speaker 3: for yourself to help you or break you. You know,
Speaker 3: you still have to as said responsibilities as a human being,
Speaker 3: as a you know, for yourself. So with that, that
Speaker 3: was what it was right And if it wasn't for
Speaker 3: love of hip hop, let's just be real, I will
Speaker 3: not be here with the cabaret. And then you know,
Speaker 3: with the cabaret. Like, listen, that's just how I run
Speaker 3: my show, you know what I'm saying, Like I run
Speaker 3: my to do what I tell them to do. If
Speaker 3: you can, you can't be in the cabaret. You know
Speaker 3: when you see me on suits will lend me on
Speaker 3: the cabaret. I just think that you see so much
Speaker 3: more of me running a business instead of seeing like
Speaker 3: the personal Jocelyn, Like the person of Jocelyn is different
Speaker 3: than the Jocelyn that's actually running a business. So I
Speaker 3: might look like I'm row or like I'm being putting
Speaker 3: this one life, but you got to remember you're only seeing, like,
Speaker 3: really just twenty thirty percent of my life. Because even
Speaker 3: though I got camerase out for forty six weeks, like
Speaker 3: I do right now, feel me Johnson discabaret, He said, four,
Speaker 3: it's still not everything that you know. You don't see
Speaker 3: when I'm crying. You don't see when I'm taking care
Speaker 3: of my daughter. You don't see when I'm you know,
Speaker 3: working out doing yoga every day. I've been in New
Speaker 3: York and I've been doing yoga every day with my husband.
Speaker 11: But you could, I was gonna say, but you know
Speaker 11: the fact that it's your show. You can display what
Speaker 11: you want to display. Now, you can put that out there.
Speaker 11: You just ain't got to put the cabaret port. You
Speaker 11: could put that out too. And I was gonna ask
Speaker 11: you shout it out, you know, Mota Scott. I know
Speaker 11: one time you were saying, so now you your Mota
Speaker 11: go back and forth. But the fact that y'all shout
Speaker 11: her out, have y'all spoke, have y'all squashed that beef
Speaker 11: at that time, or you just let it go?
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 3: I haven't talked to her. But it's just like you
Speaker 3: come to a place where you grow up. I don't
Speaker 3: got to keep being mad at Mono, being mad at
Speaker 3: anybody for nothing, Like, well, how does that help me?
Speaker 3: How does that give me any blessing? How does that
Speaker 3: make God open the door for me to get like
Speaker 3: keep opening up my third eye so I can keep
Speaker 3: pursuing my dreams and my career. How could I help
Speaker 3: young ladies in the world. You know, like that ain't
Speaker 3: gonna you know, my my biggest goal to be in life.
Speaker 3: I grew up and I always say this, I grew
Speaker 3: up in Puerto Rico. I grew up in Cattle Lina,
Speaker 3: and like say's middle, And I said, yo, I grew
Speaker 3: up in the ghetto, in the hood, in the trenches,
Speaker 3: and I used to be running around without no shoes
Speaker 3: and have needles hero on needles on my feet.
Speaker 1: I had to come home.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to pull in my My dad used
Speaker 3: to be up crack and a heroin addict. So I
Speaker 3: come from nothing right, and my dad died when I
Speaker 3: was very young. And for me, my most important thing
Speaker 3: is to showcase to the little girls that they could
Speaker 3: do it. If I did it, you could do it too.
Speaker 3: Like that's always going to be my in goal because
Speaker 3: I have a daughter, and it's it's it's it's rooted
Speaker 3: deep in my heart. I want to always be that
Speaker 3: voice of reasoning to the young girls because they know
Speaker 3: I was a mess when I first came out. But
Speaker 3: look where I come from. Look what cars was given
Speaker 3: to me for me to play. So you got to
Speaker 3: remember I come from a really low income family. When
Speaker 3: I tell you low income, I mean like food stampslow
Speaker 3: in you feel me. And so for me now, it's
Speaker 3: like all I want to do is really just do
Speaker 3: my job, do what I love to do, music TV,
Speaker 3: help the little girls, take care of Bonnie, have another
Speaker 3: child with my husband. Yes, I'm an audist. Yes I
Speaker 3: do messed up things. Yes I'm out there. You might
Speaker 3: see something. Oh she crazy. I'm not crazy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna ever do anything that truly in my
Speaker 3: heart don't feel like I need to do, and I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take the consequences.

Speaker 3: First of all, I didn't even fit high school yard.
Speaker 3: I'm very smart though. I got ownership for always got ownership.
Speaker 5: Big.
Speaker 1: You gotta go get your g D first before you
Speaker 1: are But you skipped the ged you went to college
Speaker 1: that experience.
Speaker 3: So well, First of all, it was a great experience
Speaker 3: because HBCU, a lot of people always see this is
Speaker 3: something I need to clarify, maybe I need to do
Speaker 3: it at the Breafast Club with Chatu because I've always
Speaker 3: considered myself a black woman. But I was born in
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico and I speak Spanish. My first language is Spanish.
Speaker 3: But that's that that doesn't take away from the pack.
Speaker 3: When I walk in the building, people look at me
Speaker 3: and they say, that is a black woman, right, And
Speaker 3: so I always been cool and love to be a
Speaker 3: black woman, and they'd be like, Afro Latina. No, I
Speaker 3: don't have an afro. I don't have an afro. I
Speaker 3: don't have an afro. And I am a black woman
Speaker 3: that was born in the island of Puerto Rico. That's
Speaker 3: space Spanish.
Speaker 1: And I teach my daughter, my daughter confused out of
Speaker 1: somebody right now, but go ahead, but why because you're
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican? I am Puerto Rican. But back to the HBCU.
Speaker 1: In the HBCU, you know what I learned.
Speaker 3: I learned that the Puerto Ricans, the people that were
Speaker 3: born in Pero Rica that were black too, and back
Speaker 3: in the days, back in those days, they were definitely
Speaker 3: Afro Latinos because they all used to wear you know,
Speaker 3: the big the big here. But you know that the
Speaker 3: Black African American and the Puerto Ricas. They were tight,
Speaker 3: you know that when they were trying to do everything
Speaker 3: with the freeing the Negro and stuff like that. That's
Speaker 3: the stuff that I learned at the HBCU in the Alabama.
Speaker 3: You know, they were kind of telling us how the
Speaker 3: black Spanish and the Black African American came together and
Speaker 3: they were so much tighter than we actually are now.
Speaker 3: But me, I considered myself culture. Yeah, I consider myself
Speaker 3: a black woman that was born in Puerto Rico. Yes,
Speaker 3: I'm Latina because of course I see Spanish and I'm Latin.
Speaker 3: But for me, it's more than just saying that. For me,
Speaker 3: it's just that I'm proud to be black, whether I'm
Speaker 3: Spanish or not. And I just feel like a lot
Speaker 3: of people just have a problem with me being so proud.
Speaker 1: To be black.
Speaker 3: What's your with me proud that I have for this color?
Speaker 3: Like what's the problem? And was that what kind of
Speaker 3: like takes you off with Amber? Like because I kind
Speaker 3: of seen that. It was like even like what happened
Speaker 3: because I don't know what to what happened with I mean,
Speaker 3: I didn't have the camera, I wasn't in the class.
Speaker 3: She was like selling her, like, yo, like you don't
Speaker 3: want to be black, you don't want to be black.
Speaker 10: I've seen you told am, but she didn't want to
Speaker 10: be black.
Speaker 3: But I've seen previous you know, like it's been years.
Speaker 1: Everybody.
Speaker 3: It's not no damn secret, you know. And but really
Speaker 3: she you know, she she liked to dismiss the black
Speaker 3: side of her.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: I mean, she wasn't lying. I guess that's just a trigger,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, you was lying. I wasn't lying.
Speaker 3: I was lying because I wasn't lying, And you know,
Speaker 3: I wasn't lying because we were talking about being black.
Speaker 3: And I just have to let them know. You don't
Speaker 3: want to be black. You came out of a big
Speaker 3: black just like I did. My mama got a big
Speaker 3: old black pidy. She's a perto Rican woman, but that
Speaker 3: lady black and her mama was blacker than the table
Speaker 3: my mama. So I come out of black. You came
Speaker 3: out of a black people. You don't want to you
Speaker 3: don't want to say you're black. That's weird to me.
Speaker 3: That's so weird to me. I don't care where your
Speaker 3: color is. I always thought she considered herself black too,
Speaker 3: Like I really seen that she was a Karen.
Speaker 1: When I got there, I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: It was just pretty whoa.
Speaker 3: He said, that was crazy to find out that she
Speaker 3: was a Karen.
Speaker 11: What do you mean Karen? Like she she did not
Speaker 11: respect black rights. We like, because I didn't see that
Speaker 11: the show. So I'm confused. So I want you to
Speaker 11: tell me because I don't know.

Speaker 3: Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of day to day?
Speaker 1: Welless hilarious. Donkey of to Day for Tuesday, March twenty
Speaker 1: eight was a double donkey. It goes to thirty eighth
Speaker 1: year old Chief Chastain and the Clovis Police Department. It
Speaker 1: comes a point in time in life where we all
Speaker 1: must remember it takes to you. Okay, to you, all right, kids,
Speaker 1: gather around your uncle Sharloh would like to tell you
Speaker 1: about some things that have been going on since the
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds. Okay, One of those things is the saying
Speaker 1: it takes to you, okay, are it takes to you
Speaker 1: to tango? That means that a situational argument involves two
Speaker 1: people and they are both therefore responsible for it. I repeat,
Speaker 1: it takes to you to tango. Means that a situational
Speaker 1: argument involves two people and they are both therefore responsible
Speaker 1: for it. It takes two. There's also a classic hip
Speaker 1: hop record that will make anyone with a soul who
Speaker 1: grew up in the nineteen hundreds and eighties lose their mind.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm giving you this history lesson to day
Speaker 1: is because in this donkey that I'm delivering, it absolutely
Speaker 1: took to you. All right. See, Keith was arrested ten
Speaker 1: times in one monff. I repeat, Keith Chastain was arrested
Speaker 1: ten times in one monf See y'all think I'd be lying.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Fox twenty six News for the report.
Speaker 13: Police local law enforcement agencies say they are very familiar
Speaker 13: with thirty eight year old Keith Chastain, who has been
Speaker 13: booked in Fresno County jail not once, not twice, but
Speaker 13: ten times in the last thirty one days. Chastain is
Speaker 13: from Fresno, and it's currently facing eighteen felonies and fifteen
Speaker 13: misdemeanors from his recent arrests. According to Clovis Police Department,
Speaker 13: his charges include stealing six vehicles, a dui, vandalism, fraud,
Speaker 13: possession of controlled substance, and more. Clovis Police Department alone
Speaker 13: says it has arrested Chastain six times in the last month.
Speaker 13: Around nine thirty Tuesday morning, Clovis Police received a call
Speaker 13: about a stolen truck that Chastain was suspected of driving.
Speaker 13: Police sayan officer found the stolen truck driving an old
Speaker 13: town Clovis and followed it until more officers arrived. Officers
Speaker 13: pulled Chastain over in front of Clovis Police Department and
Speaker 13: arrested him without incident. Police say he was the only
Speaker 13: person in the stolen truck and happened to be on
Speaker 13: his way to pick up his personal property from Clovis
Speaker 13: Police Department. From the last time he was arrested. Mind you,
Speaker 13: he was in a stolen vehicle.
Speaker 1: Now. As you just heard, Keith Chastain was arrested ten
Speaker 1: times by Clovis Police six times, okay, six times by
Speaker 1: Clovis Police and four times by other agencies he was
Speaker 1: in a stolen vehicle on the way to pick up
Speaker 1: his items from the jail. Okay, Now, if he had
Speaker 1: gotten locked up by different agencies once or twice, I
Speaker 1: would understand. But if you get locked up by the
Speaker 1: s AIM agency the Clothes Police department six times, six times,
Speaker 1: at what point does it become the police department's fault
Speaker 1: as well for constantly letting you out? At what point
Speaker 1: does it become a judge's fault for constantly grant you bail.
Speaker 1: He's facing eighteen felonies in fifteen misdemeanors, with charges including
Speaker 1: stealing six vehicles, dui vandalism, fraud, possession of a controlled substance,
Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. At some point, maybe after
Speaker 1: arrest number three, possibly after arrest number five, surely at
Speaker 1: arrest number six, someone at the Clovis Police Department has
Speaker 1: to say, no need to let this man out, because
Speaker 1: he's just gonna come right back. Okay. If the Clovis
Speaker 1: Police Department had a customer loyalty program like Starbucks or
Speaker 1: Subway or Sophara, this man Keith would get his tenth
Speaker 1: arrest for free. Okay, hit the rest of nine times,
Speaker 1: get your tenth for rest for free. Clearly this man
Speaker 1: has a boyfriend behind those walls. Either that or he
Speaker 1: likes the food. Okay. When someone shows you who they are,
Speaker 1: believe them. And this man Keif has shown us he's
Speaker 1: a serial criminal. Okay, so give him what he wants,
Speaker 1: and what he wants is clearly zero bond, ten arrest
Speaker 1: in thirty one days. Insanity is doing the same thing
Speaker 1: over and over and expecting different results. So yes, Keith
Speaker 1: is insane because he keeps committing crimes in the same
Speaker 1: crimes and getting locked up. And the Clovis Police Department
Speaker 1: is insane because they keep locking Keith up for these crimes,
Speaker 1: the same crimes and letting them out. They both are
Speaker 1: to blame. So please give Keith Chastain a heat and
Speaker 1: give the Clovis Police Department a hall together, because it
Speaker 1: takes two to give them the biggest he hal. This
Speaker 1: man wrote his name in jail, yo, that's why they said,
Speaker 1: don't write you name. They don't write your name on
Speaker 1: the walls in jail. You keep coming back to that jail.
Speaker 1: Jesus the breakfast club morning, Everybody's dja envy Cholamagne to God,
Speaker 1: we are the Breakfast Club. Of course, Jess Hilaries is here, yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: and we got a special guests in the building, Dion Co.

Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I'm happy to see you.
Speaker 1: I can't I'm just I'm so happy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, definitely, man, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely a lot to talk about. You got Average Joe.
Speaker 1: Are you you're in a new color purple too? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, absolutely yeah yeah, new color purple, Average Joe.
Speaker 1: We just talked about that yesterday. We were talking about
Speaker 1: they just released the trailer. What's your thoughts on the movie?
Speaker 1: Because we were like, Color Purple?
Speaker 10: Is that a movie that you do.
Speaker 1: Hard to remake? Classics? Man?
Speaker 2: So the director Blizz I don't know. He did Beyonce's
Speaker 2: The Lion King where she was like han Jay. They
Speaker 2: was like, uh, live action Lion King. Yeah, but remember
Speaker 2: this video she had. It was like a twenty minute
Speaker 2: video where she was like and cars and on the
Speaker 2: beach running and Jay had these like suits and stuff whatever.
Speaker 2: It was like very beautifully yeah yeah, all of that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he directed all of that. And so for him to
Speaker 2: take that vis and then apply it to this movie.
Speaker 2: It's like bananas. Plus it's a different spin on it.
Speaker 2: It's a whole different spin on a color purple. So
Speaker 2: it's gonna be way different than the other one. But
Speaker 2: still in it's all right, you know, holding up to
Speaker 2: what it is. But I ain't really big on remakes,
Speaker 2: neither like that. But but this one, Yeah, it's crazy
Speaker 2: because it's a different perspective now.
Speaker 1: That I was saying the twenty twenty three you can't
Speaker 1: do color purple. You have to have to be woke. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a whole different, whole different look on it,
Speaker 2: a whole different span on it.
Speaker 11: But you know, some of the remakes so like I
Speaker 11: didn't like Coming to America too, right, I just the
Speaker 11: first one, which is classic.
Speaker 10: I don't touch that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I didn't like There was another remake that
Speaker 1: they did, but people told me white Man Can't Jump.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go see that, but people telling
Speaker 1: me it's really really good, so I guess it can
Speaker 1: if they come from a different perspective for a new
Speaker 1: way House Party was another one.
Speaker 10: I didn't like it though, I didn't. I don't really
Speaker 10: like that one.
Speaker 11: But yeah, when they do it from a different perspective
Speaker 11: or shot. Well, I don't think there's a problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I play our Fonzo, So I play Cee's father,
Speaker 2: got when I take Philly.
Speaker 1: You can't have you can't have I can't remember, you
Speaker 1: can't have her, but you can have.
Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I play him kept. No, No, it's
Speaker 2: it's different. Yeah, but you know you still you still
Speaker 2: get it. He's still that dude got you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: Still call it ugly and woke away because of this
Speaker 1: new era.
Speaker 2: Yo, Yeah I do. I do hate it definitely. That's
Speaker 2: why I don't understand why people who don't like that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, Like why do you even come to
Speaker 2: the shows? You're messing it up for the people that
Speaker 2: really pay to come see in here, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Like, why would you come in there with
Speaker 2: your beliefs and feeling it's about something that I thought of,
Speaker 2: And you ain't in my world. You ain't in my
Speaker 2: tax bracket, you ain't around the people I'm around, you
Speaker 2: ain't not about my culture. But you come over here
Speaker 2: and try to tell me what I need to be
Speaker 2: saying and doing. It don't even make sense. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I hate that that we have to kind of conform
Speaker 2: to that. And I heard somebody say that in the
Speaker 2: interview that we don't and if and it's not a problem,
Speaker 2: and it is a problem. I think honestly, you got Lenny,
Speaker 2: Bruce and Richard and all these people who stood up
Speaker 2: for us to be able to say whatever we want
Speaker 2: to say, and now we can't. It's like, it's crazy
Speaker 2: to take away from the whole thing. It's like, now
Speaker 2: you go to comedy shows and they tell you what
Speaker 2: they think you want to hear in order to be safe, right,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But there's certain comics that
Speaker 2: are still out on the front line that get loose,
Speaker 2: you know, like Dave just don't give a note about nothing,
Speaker 2: you know. So you got great comics that's still out
Speaker 2: here fighting for that that voice that we all have
Speaker 2: and that people want to hear, except for certain people
Speaker 2: that don't.
Speaker 1: So and your circumstances because you you definitely edgy on stage,
Speaker 1: but then you got all the court.
Speaker 2: Going on, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, I can't yeah,
Speaker 2: I can't say exactly what I wanted to say. That's
Speaker 2: what that's my whole life, sitting back trying to figure
Speaker 2: out another way. That's what That's all I do. How
Speaker 2: can I say this another way and still be able
Speaker 2: to say it?
Speaker 1: But you know, you to face an old Spice bro crazy,
Speaker 1: Like that's why if you really think about it, it's
Speaker 1: really wild. It's like time only think of two people.
Speaker 1: The dude who used to ride the horse back.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, it's crazy

Speaker 2: it was an adjustment because I still had other things
Speaker 2: going on and other businesses and other projects and trying
Speaker 2: to write that and do that and trying to do this.
Speaker 2: I had to learn to I had to cut all
Speaker 2: that out and just focus dead on this and get
Speaker 2: it done. But yeah, being you got to watch what
Speaker 2: you pray for. You gotta know how to pray. You
Speaker 2: know a lot of people don't know how to pray.
Speaker 2: And you know, that was one of the things that
Speaker 2: I learned. You know, a person to ask, man, Lord,
Speaker 2: can I have a man? Can I have a woman?
Speaker 2: And they'll get you one and they won't have a job.
Speaker 1: They won't have a job.
Speaker 2: I forgot to ask for a job with that person.
Speaker 1: When it comes to comedy and drama, right, they always say,
Speaker 1: it's a thin line. That's what the whole tears of
Speaker 1: a clown can come from. Toether comic, you don't lean
Speaker 1: into trauma.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, that's that's exactly what I did, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. But it wasn't like that at first.
Speaker 2: Like another another turning point, when we was doing the
Speaker 2: Hearder They Fall, I was like I walked on set
Speaker 2: and was like, Yeah.

Speaker 2: title for this job. This is what you should not
Speaker 2: be doing. You should not be acting. You should become

Speaker 2: something I was planning to do. But I got cornered
Speaker 2: into shooting that special on that day, you know, like
Speaker 2: the day that my mom died, September tenth, and I
Speaker 2: was looking for a spot. Usually when you tour, if
Speaker 2: you're about to shoot a special, you won't perform in
Speaker 2: that city. So I was gonna do Philly. Philly was
Speaker 2: city I was gonna shoot my special win, but we
Speaker 2: were taking too long with the deal and I ended
Speaker 2: up doing Philly right, and now I had nowhere else
Speaker 2: to go, and I wanted to shoot. I thought about
Speaker 2: New York, but I just was like, you got to
Speaker 2: be from New York in order to do New York,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like it's New York is
Speaker 2: just different, you know, It's like you got to be
Speaker 2: from there. But when it came around to me shooting special,
Speaker 2: Netflix is like, you got shooting September, and I was like,
Speaker 2: make sure it's at the end of September because I
Speaker 2: know I couldn't shoot around a year later from the
Speaker 2: day my mom passed. They came back not even knowing.
Speaker 2: They was like this, yeah, we got the venue. I'm like, man,
Speaker 2: let's do it. I was like what day They was
Speaker 2: like September tenth. I was like, I said nah. I
Speaker 2: was like, I was like, I ain't gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Then about the days later, my mom was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, don't even mourn like that, like celebrate her.
Speaker 2: Shoot on that day, dedicate this to her and celebrate her,
Speaker 2: because when people pass man, you have to like make
Speaker 2: them live through you. Of course, even if it's a password,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, if you get it, if
Speaker 2: you set a password and you put their name in
Speaker 2: every day you that's that's day. They stay with you
Speaker 2: every day, you know what I mean. And so I
Speaker 2: was like, you didn't password, No, I did not.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, but y'all.
Speaker 2: And I just was like, man, I'm gonna shoot it,
Speaker 2: and I shot it like on that day. But I
Speaker 2: also was trying to show people and teach people that
Speaker 2: with comedians and entertain us, even y'all, people don't understand
Speaker 2: we we got problems and when we perform and you
Speaker 2: never know what that comic is going through. So that
Speaker 2: was a whole deal with my Netflix special. It was
Speaker 2: that I wanted to perform without telling nobody what was
Speaker 2: going on, and then at the end of the special
Speaker 2: let them know I was up here rocking with y'all.
Speaker 2: You're not even knowing what I was going through. I
Speaker 2: just cried right before I walked out on stage. I
Speaker 2: was backstage wiping my eyes, took a deep breath, and
Speaker 2: walked out there, performed the whole special with them not
Speaker 2: even knowing that this was like the one year anniversary
Speaker 2: of my mom's death, and I wanted tend to see
Speaker 2: that us performers, we had to put aside whatever.
Speaker 1: We're going through you said something powerful that I would
Speaker 1: like for you to talk about, just because that's something
Speaker 1: I struggle with. How do you show up as a
Speaker 1: friend when somebody had somebody that they lose that's close
Speaker 1: to them, like a parent or significant other. Would you
Speaker 1: have wanted your friends to do in that moment.
Speaker 2: So if I'm now different, and we ain't buying bottles
Speaker 2: and kicking it, and I ain't none club, and I'm
Speaker 2: now I'm in the club with you, but I'm but
Speaker 2: I'm daydreaming and I'm zoned out, and I ain't helping
Speaker 2: you pull all the women in the club and all
Speaker 2: that or whatever. Now I'm boring to you. I'm not
Speaker 2: what you was. If you're a friend, you're gonna be like, man,
Speaker 2: let's get out this club. Let's go ahead, let's go chill,
Speaker 2: let's go get you together, Let's go chill. If you're
Speaker 2: any way different, even if I'm snappy, even if I'm
Speaker 2: not understanding, if I don't hear you correctly at any
Speaker 2: of that, understand that I wasn't normally like this. So
Speaker 2: therefore you have to know that there's some kind of
Speaker 2: issue going on with me, right, So therefore you have
Speaker 2: to channel that and understand that and get to know
Speaker 2: who I am now or who I'm about to be,
Speaker 2: because now I'm embarking on.
Speaker 1: A new normal.
Speaker 2: And that's what everybody has to do. It out there
Speaker 2: and embark on a new normal for absolutely. And once
Speaker 2: a true friend understand that, yo, he's he's embarking on
Speaker 2: the new normal. And I have to be here to
Speaker 2: learn that new normal in order to be there, to
Speaker 2: be there for that, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 2: once a person understands that, and they'll be there, they
Speaker 2: won't leave you, and they gonna be there and they
Speaker 2: gonna and they're gonna help you out and they not
Speaker 2: gonna leave because all of a sudden you don't understand
Speaker 2: them and all of that, and it's like it's it's
Speaker 2: so whack or whatever. And I lost not only I
Speaker 2: lose my mother, I lost like other family members and
Speaker 2: friends and so it was very and I'm still in
Speaker 2: that kind of lonely spot right now, you know, but
Speaker 2: it's a lot better because I'm working and I got
Speaker 2: all these other projects coming out and about the pop
Speaker 2: and bubble and all that, and so it's taking up
Speaker 2: my mind frame and you know, me working on a
Speaker 2: whole New Hour, the tour with and all of that.
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm not feeling as left out and
Speaker 2: lonely no more, because you know, I got a lot
Speaker 2: going on. But as a friend, that's what a friend does.
Speaker 2: A friend understands that you changed, and they gonna change
Speaker 2: with you, and they're gonna be there for you, and
Speaker 2: they gonna find out how are you now, find out
Speaker 2: what makes you happy?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: What makes you sad? Now you know, and they're gonna
Speaker 2: be that for you, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 2: falling back and and it's a selfish move, a lot
Speaker 2: of people go because they go, oh, you're not making
Speaker 2: me feel comfortable around you or and now it's about them, yeah,
Speaker 2: you and not you, you know what I mean. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's a it's a trip that situation. And I'm
Speaker 2: still learning, you know what I mean. And uh, and
Speaker 2: the friends that I do have, Man, we've been rocking
