The episode blends humor and serious debate across relationship, entertainment, and business topics. The hosts open with a spirited argument about engagement timelines, with Lauren defending her choice to avoid cohabitation before marriage while others tease her about her relationship’s seriousness. They critique Drake’s anniversary stream, noting his pop-star charisma and charitable acts but questioning his appeal to younger audiences. A lengthy discussion on dating standards explores double standards around men spending money, with Lauren arguing that successful women seek emotional partnership over material gain, while Charlemagne emphasizes power dynamics and perception. The conversation shifts to Usher’s larger-than-life persona, with hosts sharing anecdotes about his dramatic entrances. NBA YoungBoy’s controversial remarks are mocked, leading to commentary on rap culture’s sensitivity. Will Smith’s diss tracks are played, earning praise for their cleverness. The podcast’s core debate centers on a Forbes list of top-earning podcasters, which excludes Black women. Charlemagne argues the omission stems from infrastructure—owning IP, building multiple revenue streams, and securing massive audiences—rather than racism, citing Candace Owens’ strong numbers as an example. The panel praises Keke Palmer’s work ethic and predicts her future success. The episode closes with promotional plugs, including Lauren’s mental health expo and Alex’s tennis clinic.

This woman who can't wait till she gets introduced, Lauren fucking the roses. - Sorry. - LL Cool Bay is here. They both trying to jump me 'cause I'm trying to tell them that. - No, 'cause you're wrong. - I'm not wrong. - You were a real boyfriend. - You were the career boyfriend. - Am messing up at that. - Here's a different, give us some context. - Yes, we were talking about when a person should get engaged, when they should get married, how soon after they start dating. Me and my wife don't count, 'cause me and my wife been together since we was kids. - That is it. - Why is it done? - Especially you from the South and South. - They've been married at like nine years old. - No, that was in the fucking '70s. This is the fucking 2000s. Like we had lives to live. She went off to college. I went off to do radio. - Why do you not think that this life's lives still like this? - 'Cause y'all are almost 40. Y'all know y'all preem in a problem like a motherfucker? Okay, now you don't count Taylor. And Taylor, I don't even know why you jumping in this conversation, but you got your fiancee. You got your fiancee. You got your baby. Y'all got a wedding date set. I ain't got no problems with capital P. Shout out the capital P. But all the other boyfriends that's just boyfriends, I'm like this. - But you know what? - I'm like this and I put pressure on all those and the difference. I can tell when guys are really serious. - How can you tell when you've never been had a real conversation with them? - I could just tell. - 'Cause I went in mind the pressure of you like new him, there was a relationship. It's like, you don't know not their thing at all. - Probably 'cause you still move single. - You don't know, I didn't want to say it, but since she pressed for me, she's right, I don't want to put it all on home. You know what I mean? That's what it is. - You don't mean well, that's the lie. The way I talk, everything about me, it's so different than when you've made me. You didn't really know, you didn't know me when I was single. - Yeah, but I mean the way you move online, it doesn't look like you have a voice. - That's what I'm saying. - It doesn't look like you have a boyfriend the way you move on learn. - What's he got? - Because I don't know too. - You don't even do the soft-launch here, where you show the hand or do that. - You don't even know. - That's how they do it. - I can see that. - The head, when the watch isn't on, I've been happening for about a year now. - I actually just like low-key pointed him, right? You can see this open up his lounge in Dumbo. That's why I thought I said, I think the lounge. - I think he just kind of posted. - What I saw was a, I saw the balloons, that said, do we go together on some shit like that? Which was so great. Clear all the way out the country, went out of the country to go fucking ask the go together. So they go together. - Yeah, that's so cool. - I ain't see no hand. - It was a relationship proposal. - Yes. - He couldn't propose with the ring. - See what I'm saying. - What the hell? - That's right. - How long were you were a boyfriend? - A year. - Live right on track. - That's not true. - You were engaged after you. - He don't count either, 'cause he's not black. - Woo! - Oh man. - And then there's that. - I'll be on through that. - Oh man, so that's true. - He's Spanish. - Oh, yeah. - I mean, he's not Spanish. - Exactly, he's not Spanish. - Oh, okay. - I'll just say you don't want to get cut. - No, he's not. - He's doing great. (laughing) - But I'm saying, that you know you right, Lauren. - I don't want to put it in our home because it's really you. Like you don't, like y'all not like sneakers. You know, like this is a pair of sneakers. Alex, I don't have a pair of sneakers. Tell her I don't have a pair of sneakers. See, one sneaker, but it's not that. See, like you don't even have it down. Even though you don't wear it a pair, you don't have it down. - Slide up. - You move like a 10 toes down. - Yeah, that's a 10 toes down. - Like you can even, like it's not even in your demeanor. - I can't even do that. - You like a Lucy. You know what I'm saying? - Like a Lucy. - You don't like a Lucy. - Oh yeah. - I don't do that. - I know you move like a Lucy. - No, no, I don't. - You don't have to be a Lucy energy. - I like that song though. - What's the name of it? - There's a song called Lucy. - I never heard of it. - Tell her. - You know that she's like Lucy energy. - Tell her you were there in my single time when I first started in New York. - Nightingale. - No, it's not. - I was there too, ain't shit changed. - No. - Even the way I speak today and about me, or somebody asked us something on the show about where have men brought me in our like early stages of, I didn't even want to comment on it. The old me, we would have stories for days, like we'd be up there key key in. - Well, no, you don't like, you are, I call you lying. I call you lying LaRose, because you have lying tendencies. But you know we're not the lie. You didn't want a lie. You know ain't nobody ever bought you shit. (laughing) That's just the reality in a situation. - It's the reality in a situation. - That's just the reality in a situation. - Why are you talking about shivering the past? That's the number of times. - I can, but I just feel like certain times, it's just like, I mean, like, it's just why. Like, it's just not needed. It didn't take me talking about something that I've gotten the past for the conversation to go on. Didn't have to. - Before they had things to talk about. - She ain't never gotten nothing. - Oh. - Come on, man. She from Delaware. - This is a, this is a song, like. - This is a topic that. - No, it's not. I just know you ain't never gotten a topic. - It's like a film. - It's like a film. - It's a source by a little bit. - What's a source by? - That she never gotten nothing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's fine. We can move on. We can move on. Tell her you got a topic. - I wanna speak right now. - You're buying rice and beans. - Please, please. - I can tell you like it was a late bloomer. Like you just started the glow, you know what I mean? - Oh, no, no, no, bin that girl. Here he is. - No, no, I'm not saying that you didn't have the confidence. - No, no, no, I had the confidence. I had the look. I had, it was always been there. - I'm not saying you didn't have the confidence. - I've always been treated like her. So wherever you want to go now, you're going in the car by yourself. - I don't know. - Her? - Her. - I don't know if it was her. - Her. - Her. - Mar-a-Fac put some shots in me. - Her. - I don't know if it was her, like it's been a noticeable glow up. - You see what I'm saying? - I ain't noticeable. - But the glow. - You might have been, but it wasn't no pronoun after. Like you might have been, but you wasn't, you ain't been her. You ain't been her. - I didn't have a day then, that's what I was saying. - No, no, no, you might have been. There was no pronoun after the bin. - My point is, is that where I'm at right now, I don't have anything to prove and certain conversations that just feel like it don't take me to be in it. And I'm totally okay with that. - That'll have nothing to do with the fact that you are not engaged. Okay? - I will be though. - I hope so. - I know, I should. - I will be. - I just don't respect the television. - I'll be engaged. - But even when it's an engagement, what does you respect and it look like? - I have a little bit more respect, but then I have, I need to see the wedding date. - Oh, no, no, no, it's very clear. Don't engage me without the wedding date. - Yes, wedding date got a problem. - I'm not a girl. - I'm not a girl. - Taylor got engaged. She had a wedding date shortly after. - I'm not a girl. - I just left a wedding, my good sister, you know what I mean? And the engagement was last year? - I'm not engaged for. - Not even a year. - Okay, and what age did you get, but did you propose? - Exactly. - So it was 2014? - It was like, 2014. - 2014. - Yeah, for sure. - No, I got not to propose in 2013. That's over a decade. - You did like a year before I came. - I proposed in 2013, I married in 2014. - So you were like, 35? - Oh, you remember. - 30. - I'm bad with that type of shit. - No, you were like, 13. - I'm 48 now. - So, do the math. - Okay, grown as boyfriend? - What's up with you? - Doesn't matter if you guys were together. - Yes, it does. - No, why? - Why did you make so much work? - No, it doesn't. - You didn't have to get to know certain things as much as me meeting a person that I am dating newly. - I'll tell you the difference. Number one, we were kids. Then we were trying to figure a life out. So it's like, we didn't have no money or anything like that. We didn't have no stable place to stay. If I lived in the apartment sometime in Columbia, she would stay with me for a little while and go get her own spot, 'cause she got her own independence. And it's always been like that 'til I finally got into a position where I'm like, you know what, I can hold it down in my family. - Y'all true, y'all too don't have that excuse. Your man got loans that he opened it up. Okay. - That was nice. - All right. - Okay. - Your man got loans, your man got loans. - Your man got loans that he opened it up. - I was texting like, he's opening his lounge this weekend. - No. - And I put loans on X-A. - Oh, hey, go. - He's opening his lounge this weekend. - No, that's great. - He got money, okay. - Okay, both of us not moving signals. - You, I wasn't saying she out here getting money. Now would be the perfect time for y'all to link up and grow even more together. - That's what we're going to do. - That's what we're doing. - We'll see. I'm not here to hate on it. I'm just telling you that I'm going to hate on it until it happens. - Do you drink at weddings? - Oh yeah, I got, and you just be talking, huh? - Yeah, yeah. - I don't know if I can want you to come in. - I have a ball this way. - Are you still going to guess this, but if you're going to be drinking and talking? - I had a ball this weekend. - What were you worried about him saying? - You know he'd make his stuff up and just talking. - What does he ever make up? - I don't make up shit. That's y'all problem. Y'all know I don't make up shit. I just say what the fuck is going on. - You literally be saying, believe me when I'm lying. - That's not making up. That's me telling you I'm lying, okay? I had a ball this weekend. We had a ball, I love wedding, man. Wedding make you feel good. Wedding make me feel so good. Weddings are so incredible. There's such a joyous occasion. I love seeing that union, you know what I mean? And this wedding was different 'cause I just, you know, I just really saw how. - What was he doing yourself from the beginning? You knew that he was serious about her. What? - I don't know, it's just the energy. It's just the way a person moves when they witness significant other. You can already see them as a unit. Like they already blend. Like they're already together. Like what I see P and Taylor, they're a unit. I was a stupid upair. - Yeah. - Like y'all look like the number 10. Like you tall. - Stop. - But stop. We're going to do it. - He's going around. Like you're out of control. - What? - Yeah, out of control. - Let's go. - What? - I mean, number 10 is a nice looking number. - Don't start. Because he walked around with security. You don't. Right? If you want me to let off, let him go. 'Cause he deserves food. - Yeah.
Well, we talking about, man, what we got? We do some all-meet necessary. Oh, my gosh. I missed this topic. I ain't talking about this this week. I wasn't on Breakfast Club Monday when y'all spoke about this. What was the Drake screen? What was the problem? Oh, god. Oh, we did talk about it a little bit. A little bit. Well, it was three hours. Yeah, I wasn't one G1. You watched all three? No, I mean, I could, I, I could lean. All three hours was the 20 V1 thing? Oh, it was just-- No, no, no, no, it was like, it was a little bit of a variety show. So in the beginning, Drake, it was like, it was very cinematic, too. Do you remember how he was doing all those iceman videos? Yeah. So in the beginning, it was like just a setting. And then Drake walks out and he talks about how it steaks ninth birthday. I think he said, he was ninth birthday, or the anniversary, nine years since they've been a business. Oh, so the anniversary? That's why he was doing it. Oh, all right, all right. Yeah, so then they showed this collage of like videos of like all of Drake's like best steak moments. And like, you know, like the things he's been able to give away and do because he works with steak and the frame. Then Ben and Don comes on. By the way, very dope. To be able to get, I saw it was like a million dollars or something he gave away, right? He did the million dollars to the woman. It took a lot of women. That's two different things. Oh, two different things. I know he bought a birkin for a little bit, that's it. I'm all for the charity. I like to see people giving away things. Yeah. So they talked a lot about just his experience of the frame. He gave me very fair 100,000. The date wagon. But that was at the event for the ladies. At the event for the ladies. I ever talked to him. Do you wait my money on the street? I know. So, yeah, he did for the 21. During the 21, he promised the golf girl that he would buy her mom a house. That's a new dress. That stuff like that just reminds me how white drink is. Like, why are you attracted to the golf girl? Like why are you barking at the hot topics, chick? But who have we known, Drake's date? That's how black girl black girl. Who would drink with? I mean, no, he's definitely been with some black girl. But I'm just saying like, that's just a reminder of how white he is. He was all, he's still in love with Rihanna. But his baby mom is-- So, he just likes everything. - Yeah. - What was that? - The golf girl, though. He likes everything. Hey, never seen nobody get picked up over Wednesday, Adam, bro. - I guess. I don't know. - Yeah, she's a popular streamer. A lot of the, while Jordan Lucas, I know who she was, 'cause she'd be doing like interviews and stuff. So, a lot of her interviews I'd be seeing. Like, she had one, remember young Miami was talking about how much money a man had ever spent on her? - Yeah. - That was on Jordan Lucas' story. - I'll tell you this, though. I think that the backlash for this was kind of stupid. I mean, you know, it's just like anything else. There's gonna be people that like what you did and there's gonna be people that didn't like what you did. And this, you know, after all it is, people that didn't like it are expressing it. - It was for a certain audience. - I don't think it's for Drake's audience. If you like Drake, you probably love this. - Well, he said to message anybody that this is him. - I don't have an issue with Drake, but I didn't care for this. - Oh, I didn't care for a person. - The dog chick had 'em barking, no. - And it was that tire. He was being funny. - I'm with you, but you know, the thing for me is like, yeah, Drake, Drake, then ran the gamut. Like, he didn't been around. Like, you know, you can't be barking for the golf. - And it was on the line like us. - Ooh. The golf girl, I only bark for my wife. - There you go. - There you go. Yeah, I bark for my wife. - Yeah, correct. - I just think this is a lot of unnecessary backlash for nothing. Like I don't, like it's Drake, Drake. (upbeat music) (laughing) - Yo, heart turns to Mason. It's crazy. They were showing old bitches like her, and like, put you in her nails. - Yeah, I know. - She is like a whole different person. - You can't believe I make up. She's like, I make up. - Oh my gosh. - But also the body. - Yeah, I make up the two. - What's her name? - But that's the name. A lot of women do that, but I mean, the whole face looks like a completely different person without the makeup. - Yeah. - I didn't even be able to recognize her without makeup. - Yeah, I mean, listen, and also too, I think that we forget something about Drake, and there's something that glasses him alone that said for a long time, and there's a lot of merit to it. These are pop stars. This is shit pop stars do. And by the way, hip-hop artists can do this too. It's not like people gotta take theyself so serious. It's like hip-hop stars do funny things in different ways. This is just Drake's way of expressing his personality. And being the pop star did he? - But even when he did that commercial, was that Katie? - The sneaker commercial. - The guy hosted SNL, y'all. - But that's what this felt like. - Exactly. - It was very sad time. And also too, I think Drake tries to, not try. He does. A lot of like the young, new youth culture thing. - Yeah, he does. - He's definitely like a lot of artists. You might hear them first with Drake, or see them first with Drake. He's the one that's anything to me in a stream world. It's just, there's a certain point of it where I think about, like, I don't know. I just, some of it I was like, "Uh, but you still Drake, oh, like. " - I think you got it. - I was an actor at any of the day too. - Maybe it's hard for me to think about him that way. 'Cause I think about him like, rap Drake, jersey Drake, like, I don't, I don't know. - I'm like, I don't know why Drake don't give more in his acting and back. - I'm shocked that he hasn't like leaned all the way into something. - Surprise about that as well. - He's probably trying to do it through this. - No, no. - When he has the ability to do it right now, if he wanted to. Like, I'm surprised. - He doesn't use music videos all the time. - When he was on Dave, that was hilarious. There was that other show they have from Canada, that was funny. He had moments on SNL, that was funny. Like, I don't know. I'm shocked he hasn't leaned all the way into that back. - He's always over it though. He wants to, he wants to meet. - No, I think you can clearly see he still loves it. 'Cause he's doing stuff like this in the commercials. - But that's my biggest personality. That's how I'm assuming it. - He plays into, like, he loves the character, like, sketch vibe. And I think that's why he likes the streamer and the internet community so much because they freely do that. - Can I actually, how do women feel about like the way he flaunts money and like, gives it out? - Oh, we drink it. - I would really not like it. - Wow. - We love to see it. - So that's not, that's not corny to you at all. - No, I think what Drake, the difference is because there are men who lead money first and it can be corny. But I think what Drake, he's charming. - Yeah, but also he's not doing this 'cause he's trying to fucking it, he's girls. - Yeah, that's he is. - He's doing it out of the goodness of his heart, strong. I mean, I'm sure he might smash a couple, but he seemed like he did what he was doing his favorite. - Oh God, what's that song called? - God playing. - God playing. - Yeah. - So that money. - I had to break that party, he gives out bags. And like he, this is not new. - If you got a bunch of money, what are you up to? - Exactly. - What are you up to? - I was so curious. - When you hear about him dating, I forget the woman, she was someone's mom, but remember, he shut down my family. - Oh, yeah. - To take her out on a date. - Oh. - Like, when you hear about-- - That was different though. - But that's, that's fly, though, that's-- - You know, I was saying the other night, I hate the term tricking. Because tricking has a negative connotation to it, like you're doing something for somebody, for something in exchange. - Expectations in return of you. - Feel it. - It's just nice to make somebody else feel good. Like, you know, like Jordan, Jordan is such a bright, spirit with so much electric energy. And I just like seeing her feel good. I like seeing all these women feel good. Feel that bank account up. It's always good to have personal goals, but do something for somebody else. You might feel a little more than strapping a watch to your wrist, or driving that new car, or moving into that new place. - That's fine. - I don't need fucking her. - I mean, he was, I, if there were-- - Girl, you argued with me earlier about tricking, and I was saying that ain't tricking if she's worth it. - I didn't argue with you. - I was saying-- - I was saying-- - I would never argue against a man tricking. - I should trick. - I was saying that if you're a man and you're used to living a certain way, there's things that you're going to do. If I can afford to shut down Dodger Stadium and take you on a date, I'ma do that instead of taking you to Nice Guy. - What I be trying to call out is the hypocrisy because you'll say that, but then when people are having a conversation about women asking for things, it's like, if you ask for things, you a bird, but it's like, the difference you're trying to make is, he just does it because he has to-- - I'm doing it out the goodness of my heart. This is the way I live. I asked you on a date. I'm the man, and I said, yo, you want to go out. You say, yeah, now I'm about to show you a good time. That's the difference when you coming to me saying, why don't you shut down Dodger Stadium and just set me up a dinner and have me a private chef and fire me a burger. - But if a woman is used to dating Drake S. Men, - No, no, no, no. - Like not Drake, right? But you're used to dating Drake S. Men. - You shouldn't be used to dating Drake S. Men. - I have friends that only date men of probably so, but they maintain a horse. - Of course, yeah. - Why are you calling me a horse? Why are you calling me a horse? - I only want to do what they do with it. - You just need to borrow the verb, borrow the verb, initially. - I said, probably so, but why? - Old derbs, old derbs, yeah. - Is it called, yeah. - Old derbs, poor derbs. - But why that one? - Because listen, I'm gonna tell you, I don't know that it's horse. I want all the women to understand this. If you've ever dated three men in the same industry, you're a whore in setting. - What if it's a crime? - It's like same paper. - If you're fuck three football players, trust me, you're known as a whore and NFL. If you're a fuck three NBA players, trust me, you're known as a whore and NBA. If you're a fuck three rappers, trust me, you're known as a whore and a rap industry. - Take the industries out of it. But what if it's a woman who says, I only wanna date men who can provide ABC and D, no matter if you're a duster, a dentist, or NFL player. - But let's don't look, 'cause people get down bad. Like, and some women are open eyed or listening. - Or behavior. - But some women are okay with it, if I'm with you, down bad. - I don't know if anyone know down bad, plus he. Y'all think people want that? Y'all do understand, trauma is real. Y'all understand energy transfers? Do you understand projection? I don't want no pussy projecting on me. Y'all go keep that down bad stuff to yourself. - I don't know how to do that. - But men won't pick women out of the crevices of nothing, all they gon' and build them up. Y'all, not y'all, I mean, I do you. Certain men love that, so I don't wanna hear that. - Yeah, I don't, I don't agree with that. - All right. - We like, there are women in this industry that are down bad, but they get passed around and those dudes love to fall.
- You know what I mean, girls in LA got followers and don't got no bands. - That's what I'm saying, right? - And a man will get with a rapper, we'll get with that girl. Bonser up, let her start her little online following. Buy her a band, buy her a part, buy her the car. And then run around on her crazy because you can be taller. - All can't name me one woman that has allegedly been ran through in this industry, whose wife's up right now. - Why did ghost women have to be ran through? - You name 'em, who? - I don't wanna say it. - We can believe it, we can do it. - They say (beep) - No. - She's not wrong. - She's not wrong, she's not wrong. - They said, you're gonna have to be like, you stop. - They did, she's not wrong, but she's wrong. - That's not true. - No, we don't, we don't believe the name, she said, but that's not true. - Why not? - That's not true. - Yeah, why not? - That's not true, you can only name like one. - One? - No. (beep) - The industry? - I never heard that one. - They're kissing, you know, you really see it. - Never heard that one. - Oh. - Y'all be popping shit. - I never asked, I yo. - I don't talk to them like that, but here's my thing. (laughs) - Here's my thing. - That's just that whole thing. - That only works for her. - You see, you see, you see, you see, you see, yeah. (laughs) - You gotta be a woman that has more than any guy you fucking with to be able to live that type of life. - I mean, I guess so. - You gotta be a woman that got (beep) - They're, they're off limits. - They got more than the guys they fucked with. - Making up this rule. - Oh no, I'm just telling you how it goes. - No, it's a different power dynamic. - It ain't changed at all, but when she made up, before she got (beep) before she was a (beep) - Yo. - They ain't got a lot of money. - No, but that's not, that's not the first person that she talked about, but these are just examples. - All I'm saying is the power dynamic is different when the woman got more than the man. And that's rare. It's rare when the woman has more than the man. That is very true. - If you got less than the man and you got fucked by three people in the industry. - Very true. - Poor. - Yup. - By the way, I'm not saying, I look at it like that. I'm just saying that's how people perceive you. - I will never argue against the man tricking. I just think y'all be hypocrites because it'd be like, yeah, we trick when we want to and it's okay, depending on who the man is, then on the other hand, it's like a woman wants too much. She's burnt. - Here's the thing. A man that's spending on you is not tricking, especially if the man already has money. - That man is used to living a certain way exactly. That's his lifestyle. - But why can't he have the lifestyle? - She can if she got more than the man. - But why can't she only date men who are used to a certain lifestyle because she knows what she explains. - Does she live that kind of lifestyle? - Yeah, I know. - No, no, no. Can she live that lifestyle without a man? - Yes, let me tell you something right now. None of my, literally, I'm telling you right now, none of my friends who deal with men that do things for them can't get a triple double on their own. And I mean, they own businesses, big businesses, multiple cities, multiple states, period. - Unbelievable. - But they're not city, I can show y'all something. - So then why did they ask for it? - Because there are certain men who get with you. - If you got to ask for what you mean, God. - There are certain men. - If you got to ask for it. - Oh, man. - There's certain men. - There's multiple reasons. Number one, if you're a woman that has it, a man will get with you and try to humble you by not doing certain thing. And then now you've got to ask and-- - If you got it, you don't get his thing. If you're a woman who actually has it, you ain't looking for nothing material from that man. The only thing that man can provide you is actual love and companionship. - You ain't acting for nothing. - I don't like her, I'm a great guy. - I can't give a show. - I can't give a show, I can't give a show. - No. - It isn't the one we go to because I know women that love their men to death. And if that man ever fell, she would pick on right back up. But when they met, he was able to maintain a lifestyle that she was providing for herself, period. - I promise you, if you are a woman, then you got to throw a name out because-- - I can't. - God, I'm going to know the regular people. - Yeah, I know a problem throwing the mother, people need a hundred years. - They're not celebrities. If you are a woman who has their own, you are not looking for anything material from a man. You're actually looking for love. - You're actually looking for real companionship. - I agree with that thing. - You ain't acting for no parking. - At the same time, though, you didn't-- - I don't even know the birth, I don't even know, I don't even know the bio-broker. - You would go to it. - I don't know that type of shit. - Oh, personally, I'm like breaking. They're like, oh great, my bags. - My point is, it's a lifestyle thing. It's not like you got to do this, you got to do that. You know a lot of success for women. How many of them, it's two sides of the coin. It's like a lot of success for women who date somebody with nothing because they don't have a choice and they can't find nobody else. - All the successful women I'm looking for, you know what they want, they man to do? Being therapy. They want you to be a healed version. So I don't ever hear, all the super successful women, I know who've actually done work on this stuff. I promise you, the conversation they have with me is never about how much money he got. What can he buy me? It's literally like, is that thing in therapy? Is that motherfucker doing the work on himself? - If you're calling your successful friend about somebody, I guarantee you, they're not asking those questions because they're like, if Charlemagne is calling me, that person is, even if they don't have all the money in the world, he knows what I'm bringing to the table. Like, I promise you that. But if they were to meet somebody randomly off the street, you're going to want to know, so what do you do for work? What is your, like you, these are for your work? - That's just you trying to get to know somebody though. - Yes, but you trying to get to know that for a reason. You want to understand if I'm doing this for myself, where do you come into play, even if you can't match it? - That's the normal conversation. - If you already have you really looking for that nice guy that can love you and you're not asking. - Yeah, no. - So you're only with your man 'cause he got a loins, his loins open? - No, I'm not only with him because of that, but this time around when I was dating, I did say to myself, I want someone that is doing things for themselves because I dealt with someone who didn't have a lot going on, and it was hell. - So when you was two niggas low, about a year ago? - First of all, you were two niggas low. Give me at least like 20, 23. It's 26. - No, no, no. This was definitely 2024, early 20, 25. But when you was two niggas low, - What? (laughs) - Both of these niggas had something going on. They both had-- - In this season of my life, I didn't deal with anybody that couldn't meet me at a certain point. And not even just financially, even if it was just like, what are you doing? Like, what is your career path? Are you passionate about something? Those type of people sit and think about therapy and that type of person I want to be, that type of parent I want to be, that type of husband I want to be. - So when you were dating a two dudes that like, both had something going on, why didn't one dude win over the other dudes? - It might have been small things like actual attraction or you are really seeing a life with this person 'cause also two. - It wasn't that one had more. - Won't you just tell the truth? - No, it gets to a point when I-- - 'Cause somebody did win your heart. - You'd be, because why don't you begin to become in-- - Is y'all play basketball against each other? Late one night? - Why don't you become, why don't you become, (laughs) (laughs) - Why don't you become intentional? - Three day, yeah. - Thinking about like, all right, how was this person raised? What's the family dynamic? What my household looked like with this person? Can I sit back and shut up and let him lead me? What's his vision for a family? It's a lot that goes into it that it just started dropping. People are fucking-- - Y'all refrigerated stay empty though. - We don't live together. - Oh, y'all know? - No. - Oh, I thought so. - Yeah, not even. - I'm not moving in with anybody until I'm angry. I'm not going to get into this. - I respect you. - I respect you. - I respect you. - We spend a lot of time-- - I respect that. - We basically have our own separate places and we split time, but I did that before. - The women understand what they be giving them in. - I did that before. - Before they get married. - My last relationship. - I won't do that again. - I can really show up. I think you should live with the person after you get engaged. - Yes. - Because you can-- - Something. - Yeah. - No, no, no. - No, no, no. - No, no, no. - For sure. - I'm okay with that. And even right now, we do things where like, we might spend weeks together at his place, or weeks together at my place, or maybe a month or two. Like, we experience being together, living in a space, but I am not moving someone in, we're not putting names on Lisa's, we're not putting cards, we're not doing none of that stuff. Until I got something that's like solid. Like, it's not happening, not doing that. I made that rule for myself when I got out of that. - Yeah, but you let them sweat on you? - Yeah, but that's because I know-- - Like, girls be letting guys sweat on them. - I know they're pinching and I know they're all-- - They're putting their whole cock in their mouth. Sometimes eating ass, but then it'll be like, I don't wanna live with them. I said, "Crazy." And now I agree that you shouldn't live with them. - But I think I want you to think about all the other things you're doing with this man. - I gotta pick it too. - That's enough for all the sickle guys outside. - If I gotta pick it too, we could stay separate houses in. - God's gotta stop playing. But I guess that's what I'm really saying, man. God's gotta stop playing, you know? Like, and I really mean this. There's a lot of good women out here. And if you've got a good woman, what are you waiting for? - Oh, you think I'm a good woman. - Not really, but I'm trying to help you with it. - And you're strong. - What are you waiting for? I'm just saying, like, seriously, like, what are you waiting for? - Well, y'all had to talk, though, right? But I told you with me, we came into it. Like, that was, he was like, yo, I know this, this, and this. But here's what I'm on. This is what I want. Are you here? And I'm like, yeah. - It can go either way with you. Like, I can honestly be like, all right. If he don't propose, I get it. - Uh-oh. - But if he do, I'd be like, all right. If that's what you really want to do with yourself. - I'll smack you with this one. - What? I'm just telling you the truth. - I'm somebody you don't want to lose, baby. - I don't lie to you. - You don't lie to me. I think Lauren is remotely a good woman. It's 'cause of her mom. - Yeah. - I have nothing to do with her. I promise you it's because of her mom. She comes from good stock, all right. But her? - I can't even say that about you. I've heard. - Can I say something, though? - Yes. - Like, you guys talk a lot about like the materialistic stuff. To me, I've never been a materialistic girl. - Yeah. - But I feel like people forget how hard relationships can be when things get bad, though. - Yeah. - But people like, when you're saying like, I need a guy that has just done the third. Like, people be forgetting really what it is to stay in a relationship, though. - It's not like, can you buy me this? Can you buy me that? It's always about like, your mentality. So I've been in a very long-term relationship. I've been where things have gotten really, really bad. And I felt like, [BLANK_AUDIO]
was by my stuff in that. So that's why now it's like, no, I want a partnership. And my partner, I want them to have a certain mentality about I can get out of this even if I can't, or if I can't, I know how to communicate with another person where we can get out of this. - But that's why having your own is important 'cause you don't wanna become independent. - Yeah. - Because then what if you have to be with this person because they're funding your lifestyle or paying your rent or your mortgage and whatever the fuck. - But I've never experienced that. Like I've always been a person that is making my own way. Have I had people do things for me because they see that and they like, yo, I wanna help out. Yeah, that's normally the case. But I've never been a person that's been solely just dependent on somebody. I have friends that live that way. And some of them are loving it. Some of them are not so happy and they're figuring out other things. - How do those birds feel that you left in this? (laughing) I never was a bird. - All right, man, see, since we can't have no honest conversation. - I'll be right back. - We want you a couple of times, I'll tell them. - Tell them, we want you another topic. - I see old bitches, Lauren. - I was not learning. - You might not have had a bird mentality, but boy. - That's what they love, though. It's like when you get the middle point, it's like, she not a- - I ain't seen no middle point. I saw- - Always been a middle point. - I saw it in that middle point right now. - You know when them should be first coming out the egg and that little head, you're thinking of nothing and you should be playing. (laughing) - That was the fuck I saw. - No. - You used to weigh them overalls with them braids. - Yeah, damn. - Okay, last of all, braids were- (laughing) - What you laughing so hard for? - I hate to say it. - You know what I mean? - But it seemed like he said something true for him because your face showed every- - Because he just be talking. - I don't know. - He just be talking. My braids, so this is the braids fire. Okay, he had nothing to do with being a bird and I was not a bird. - Hi, man. - Hi, listen. - Just because a woman laid- a black woman laid to her edges, she's a bird. - Your edges not laid. - Mine. - That's what I'm talking about, right now. Now we're talking braids. - I hate lay- - Now we're talking braids. - Okay. - Crazy, Lauren. - These pictures exist on my eye. - I was saying right now. - New girlfriend on. - That she was crazy. That should look like you used to get your hair braided and then brush it. - It was really days, though. - It was really hard. - When you first of all, those type of brains are supposed to give both he and Pocahontas. Like it was given that. Okay, with the good hair. - Why is this a topic? Usher is going for- - Yeah. (laughing) - Did you see this? - No. - Really? So. - What are you thinking him? - So look, don't the man work at the store? - But you open, you held the door, so just walk through it. Why are you waiting for the guy to come? The door while you walk out? That's not necessary. Usher. (laughing) (laughing) - I'm so glad I didn't say that. - He couldn't just walk through it. - No, fuck all that. I'm Usher. No, fuck all that, yo. - First of all, his name is Usher. So you hold the door. - Listen, man. Let me tell you something about Usher raping myself. - Yeah. - Usher raping the fourth is one of the last superstars left. Okay, he's one of the last people who still cares himself like the superstar. Do you remember when Mariah Carey came to the breakfast club years ago with her own lighting team? - I wasn't there. - And Mariah Carey had her own lighting team set up the lights in the studio and then turned our lights down. And I said, Mariah, they're not gonna be able to see us. She said, that's the whole point. (laughing) I seen Usher walking in a room. This was years ago at the I Heart Radio Music Festival. I seen Usher walking in a room. Dance. Like, oh shit. Like that's what you expect to see when Usher walking in a room. - Bad Joe said that too when Usher was on his podcast. He said Usher walked in to come to like a hood spot. Usher walked in. He was like, he was levity. - I've seen it. Yo, I've seen Usher do that twice in my life. I seen Usher walking to the, it was the radio, I don't know the backstage green room area at the I Heart Radio Music Festival. He walked in doing all, like walked in the door, doing all this shit. I'm like, oh shit. But I think he's just a artist. - That's crazy. - So when you're an artist and you either just left stage, are you about to get on stage? You kind of like warming up. I seen him do that again. We were in South Africa. It was, what was we at? Johannesburg. He walked into the party and it was like, not mind you. This was a party that was very small. It wasn't even a lot of people there. Like, it was a lot of stars in the building. Super stars. He walked in like, I am the, I am the superstar. DJ was playing his music. He was doing it all the time. - No way. - So I ain't got no problem with Usher, making another Usher hold the door for him. - Maybe that's just like a lumper zone. - I'm mad at him. Usher. - He walking in and taking pictures. Like you wanna get the, you wanna get a good shot? - But he's got a little crazy that he was fun with the woman open the door for us stuff. - Oh, he opened it for her. I didn't know. - He opened it for us stuff. - Eventually he grabbed it out and held the door. - She opened her door for her? - No, she opened her door. - Listen, I wouldn't do it. But I ain't mad at us if we're doing it. I'm not usher. I didn't make confession. - Yeah, you didn't say that. - Okay. I didn't make '87 or '01. All right, I didn't have everybody flying in Vegas. - I'll share with that chest out. - That's all I did that this weekend. I did, you wanna see? - No, I don't. I don't wanna have time for your bullshit. - How do you feel about women going to the Usher concert? - I think it's fine. Tell me why. Now, why would you do that? - It's been a long time. - He was under a steering wheel with me. - I got a chest girl. I'll be working out, girl. - But let's get it on stuff. - So right now you go to the Usher concert. - He wasn't bringing Usher in. - No way. - Yeah, no way. - That's you the liar. - No way. Even before my release came, it would not catch me. - Why do they? - It's your whole life. - Oh. - Her ass. - Oh. - That's one thing I'm very, very, very sure about. I would never do nothing that loud. Ever. Here it. Never. - I'm like, oh, like, fish, lullaby. - I'm like, they're trusting and thriving and everything. - That out the lullaby. - Usher. - I mean, you'd be like the woman that just does the lullaby. Whatever. But. - I would never say. - If you feel it in your body, you live in your body. Usher, walk up on you with that shit. You gonna be. - Yeah. - And I'm not doing it. I wouldn't do a cherry thing either. - Huh? - I wouldn't do the cherry thing either. - Now the cherry thing is crazy. - I wouldn't do that. - The cherry thing is crazy. Your guy is big though. You might eat the cherry. - Oh. - Like, you'd be hungry during a shot like that. - What are you talking about? - I'm just saying. - Like, I'm not even big. - I'm just saying hungry a lot. - He's like, oh, he's, he's like, oh, he's, he's like. - You know what I think it is. It's because, it's like, you're little and stubborn. - If you feel it in your body, you're stubborn. - And you're just mad 'cause I mean, fine, tall and chocolate. - He would be an office alignment. I'd be a runner back. - You wouldn't be on a fucking field. - You have no body build, you have no nothing. Like, you're just there. You know what you would be doing. You'd be dropping your kid off. - Do you see the chest again? - You'd be dropping your kid off. - Okay. - Get off the field. - I think 'cause I don't show it off. Y'all don't think y'all don't know what's going on. - I mean enough. - Maybe it's giving quiet on the creek. - Okay, what's done to that shirt? - You can't, you can't do that. You can't say quiet on the creek and do the loop. And then be like, no, I wouldn't say that. - Yeah, you can't do that. - And you can't, you got heavy. You can't do that. - It was quick. - It was quick. - You showin' cleave is just crazy. I know we're very expensive, they them. - It wasn't even the tank top under the jacket. That's probably what else you got on. You probably got on the tank top under the jacket. - I think it's a flesh tone shirt. - No flesh tone. - No, I'm sure. - You want me to be, you want me to be short and stocky. So bad. - That's crazy. - Are you short and thick and right? - Hey, acknowledge it. Don't make Taylor jealous. - That's why you got that, I mean. - Tell her to be hating. Tell her to be hating. - Tell her to be fine. - You'll be hating him. I'm gonna send you something. - What, how's somebody saying? - No, it was like something about being thickers. - Yeah, shit, get thick, but Charlotte thicker. - No. - You waste. - And my guy. - That's crazy. - That is crazy.

NBA young boy, did you see this part when he was like, - Oh my god, this was so funny. (laughing) - What are you saying? - I'm fucking, I'm glad I'm, I don't know what else. - I'm like, yeah, you just, I'm dark skinned. I'm dark skinned, yeah. But are you actually a nigger? - Okay, call you when you come from. (laughing) - You were taking a bag by the heart of yours. - Yeah. (laughing) - No, it's not. - You're making it. - Y'all know exactly what young boy mean, man. Why y'all acting like y'all don't know a young boy mean? - I'm glad he didn't mean it, but it's like, why do you say it like that? - 'Cause he tell them they should play it again, man. - Y'all ever y'all know Bonnie Black. - Black, I'm brown or whatever. I'm like, yeah, you just, I'm dark skinned. I'm dark skinned. (laughing) - I get a call you when you come from. - Shout out to Marco, man. It's true, I know what he's saying. - Can you not do that? - But like, huh? - Do funny Marco, like, reach every single one. - I might do, I fucking Marco, that's my guy. That's my guy, I fucking Marco. Okay, that's my, that's, that's nephew right there. That's son. Marco called me the other day to my hello father. Shut the fuck up, Marco. (laughing) - Are you living in the show? - Yeah, that's why he got in trouble with fucking Fredo Bang. - Because he came to the show. - That Jaylen Hertz was handsome. - Yes. - You might have been. - He tried to take me out and everything. - Oh, you were in trouble. - So he was flirting with him. - He was. - I don't know. - He was trying to take me out. - If I was gay, he would not be my time. - Would you like? - Oh, okay. - Jaylen Hertz. - Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. - That's what I was saying. - Jaylen Hertz was fine. - That's what he was saying. - Marco said Jaylen Hertz was handsome. And then to be funny, because everybody online started calling him gay, he unfollowed everybody and followed Jaylen Hertz. So that was the only person he was following. And then when he started following people back, I guess a couple of months later or whenever it was, he forgot to follow Fredo Bang back. So when Fredo Bang saw him sitting with young boy, he thought that Marco unfollowed him because of young boy. 'Cause I guess young boy and Fredo got something. So Fredo left for message on telling Marco, I'ma see you. - Right. - It happened. - It happened. - I'm telling this. Now that Fredo knows his story, I'm sure he's like, oh shit, I know that's what I have. I think that's serious. Rap is all sensitive. Very fucking sensitive. - Very sensitive. - Some of the most sensitive people walked. - That's why they got disc records and not like, police sensitive. - Oh, he got disc records against you. - Oh. - Yeah, he did. - Yeah, young boy. - I really make that. It was good. - Did he ever say anything about it? I hope he liked it. - Oh, lots of remix. - I made a remix. - Oh, yeah, I'ma show you how to hack and dunk it. - Yeah. (laughing) - You think you've been just the most as a media personality by rapist? - Beat up too. - Oh. - Here you have it. - I don't know. Wendy got, Wendy got missions in a lot of the shit too. - She had? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Two Park Mention Wendy, Will Smith's Mention Wendy, Jay Z Mention. - Will Smith. - That's true, yeah. - Yeah, Wendy Williams, you don't know me. - Oh, sorry. - How do you know the rap? - I don't know the rap. - Girl, better leave me alone. (laughing) - Pop out your radio station to send you home. - You study the rap. - You know the rap. - Get the rap. - Get the rap out. - Get the rap out. - You know the rap. - It was crazy there when it took with John. - Oh, but she had it as a drop. That's why I be always telling y'all grab all the artist drops. She had it as a drop. And she would play it all the time. It'd be like a sweeper. Wendy Williams, you don't know me. I should punch you. - The Lunge Break free style, that's what it was. - The Lunge Break freestyle? - No. It says, it should be Will Smith, Wendy Williams, this. - Okay. - Will Smith, Wendy, I don't know what song that was from. - Where was she working? What market was she and what she was winning? - She was in New York, I don't know when Will did that record. But she used to play it on WBLS when she was on 107.5 and she was syndicated. Oh, she was only like nine markets. - Was she in Philly? - She was in Philly. - That's funny. - She was in Philly. She was in Columbia, South Carolina. - But you have quite a few. - Quite a few. I think you might have the most. - I feel like the Biny Seagull won't get it. That one in a- - Popcornon just did one. - Right, Joe Stark. - No, she's at, he taught my actual mentions in song. - Oh, I'm talking about people pulling up. - Oh, it's not. - The song's called Mr. Nice Guy. - Hold up. Popcornon just did one. - Like in January. - Nobody pulled up on you. - No, no, no, no. - And I was in a song. - Oh, 'cause they say it was a diss. I don't know the fuck. ♪ I wouldn't leave my wallet ♪ ♪ Well, leave my grin ♪ ♪ I don't really know what you're like ♪ ♪ Shining me in ♪ - That's probably why you be mad at my boyfriend too. You've had some really interesting interactions with people from Philly. - I used to do radio in Philly. I love Philly. I love Philly. Let me hear it Taylor. Let me hear the things from Philly. - It's not. - But it's not the, I'm looking at Philly. - What's for it? - Want it raised? - Yep. - On a playground where he's been most of his days? - Basically. - Getting all fat, eating fat foods? - That. (laughing) - That's one of the high-heat-go-reads. (laughing) - You were avicant. - No. - Good. - Yeah, I know. - He's got a gift. - They need a limit here, Joe. Like maybe like two per like, there, right? - What do you mean? - Because like, it's unfair. He, you don't even know him. You don't even know him. - He's fucked them a fuck. - You say hi to everybody, Charlotte, man. You don't know him to be joking. - We spoke on the phone. - Yeah, because he was like, "Yo, put that nigga on the phone." Like, tell him, "Stop playing with me." - And he got a name. - And then look at the last thing, you know. - That's the wrong way to do. - Hello. - Oh, hang on up. - Yeah, let's build.

last name. He's all of you. I think it smith went free nose caught him. Yeah, but he don't fuck with you like that. Who was man? All right. When they were here, he was like, are you Charlotte? Like what's you mean? I don't like who? I don't think he don't like him. That's my guy. Shout out the big Willie. I could say Jada like liking you. That's my I love Jada too. Yeah, because she can get what she can understand with him. I felt like home got the tolerance for you. You were a bit much. Well, from Philly, well like the joking clown. No, I like the fight. He ain't about the talking like. Listen, shout out the Willie. Shout out the big. Well, seen who will. Oh, there's been a couple of years. Nice. He was in a car. You haven't seen him since we reported on his songs that came out here. I've spoken to him since then. Oh, yeah. And he had he feel about that. You think he saw it? What's Will Smith? Yes, Mike. And we weren't joking. I said the shit was fire. Charlotte, you see everything. So he saw I said the shit was fire. Okay. Will shit. Fire. That was fire. We look through just now. Okay. I was actually pretty good. I know that. I was trying to hit on Will Smith. No, he was. Wait, Andrew. And he was the one that was like, he played with him. I am the like I am the flag. I'm the star. Why can't he beat us flagging the stars? Okay. Why can't he beat these things? No. No, shout out the book. That's the Andrew making fun of him. I think it's Smith Winfrey Knows Carter. You're you you're married into them. Thank you. Okay. Let's play some bills. Let's do some church announcements. Lauren LaRosa. Here. You have any church announcements? Just the daily podcast. It's a daily podcast Monday through Friday, six a.m. You can check out the episodes. Oh, six a.m. We do like bite size breakdowns of like everything that is big, major news, trending exclusives there to and exclusive conversation. So if you want to hear a little bit more of me and the latest, that's where you catch us at. Brought to you by Black Effect podcast network. And you know, you get to know a little bit more about her as well. Like not just the story. That's true. Yeah. We we're checking behind the scenes of the grind. So you do get to spend a little bit more time with me. Just that's my favorite part of the podcast personally, where we just talk through what I'm thinking. It's a weird because I'll be talking to nobody, but I'll be talking to people. But that's that's how you know you're a good personality. That's what I was one of Wendy Williams scrims. You can sit in that studio by herself and put on a whole four hour show and you know, wouldn't miss a beat. That's when you know you're a great personality. That's a very rare skill set. There's only a few people I know that I can do that. I think it's a little different now because more people practice like that, meaning like if you're on screen for five, six hours, you know, but even then you still got your check, right? So you're talking your responding, but to be on the radio where you can't see nobody and nobody can see you. And you just talking to just you and the sound effect person there to difference. You got to hone in it. It'd be too much. I've been going too long. You talk to not you just talk too fast and you repeat something that Yari said, but you'll see it differently. Yeah, but you're yeah. And I want to tell everybody October 10th, 10, 10. Well, first of all, I want to say thank you to everybody who came out to my 11th annual back to school driving fish frying. I was going to South Carolina. It's a little to spray ground for giving me such a great discount on backpacks, really appreciate y'all. Sleuth all the vendors that came out, provided free food for everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And also, I want to tell y'all that October 10th, 10, 10, World Mental Health Day. I'm doing my mental wealth expo in New York, New Jersey. I don't even remember what you had to say. This might be our fourth year, fifth year, because our fifth year, but my 10th, my fifth annual mental wealth expo at the Joel and Diane Blu and Welderson events in a sleuth and my good sister, Debbie Brown. She is curating everything this year. And we're focusing on solutions this year. You know, we've gotten together the last few years and just had conversations about how to eradicate the stigma around mental health, but this year is all solution oriented. So go to www.mentalwealthexpo.com to register to be there. It's a free event. So we'll see you 10, 10 in New York, New Jersey. Alex, you got church announcements? Oh, yes. Guys, you guys know my live show that I do every Sunday AM mornings. It's really dope seeing some of the brilliant idiots fans, the flagrant fans calling in. It's fire. Just head over to amwarnings.com on YouTube. We do it every Sunday at 11 a.m. And then also I have my tennis clinic for anybody who wants to play tennis or you already play the next event is August 22nd. Just head over to theallloveclub.com, buy a ticket there and all you did already. Oh, shit. My bad. I think something. Yeah. Why are you staring at me like that? What's your name? So I am doing a YouTube series. It's called Made It Series where I'm asking people how they made it. So they call me tell me to make it. I'm just doing a little twist on it. She's doing silly ass jokes. No, no. No, she knows. She does have a series. She's already been posted. Yeah. It's called Made It Series. And there's just getting people's perspective of what the what the definition of Made It To Them is. And that doesn't even have to be about career. It can be about just being what it successes to them in life. Yeah. This is a good time. Pull up the, I didn't talk about this yet. Pull up the highest paid podcast is because Lauren had a question. And there was a discussion around how you monetize outside of YouTube. Well, yeah, the visual. The Forbes list. Yeah, it was the question was there was no black women. Yeah. And I said, is it that the advertisers and the corporate people don't want to work with the black women in their content? Like they don't see the value in it. It's the highest paid podcast is of 2026. No need to get into numbers. But let's just look at. Oh, this was the list where they put you. I was I was on there. You were number. Well, it don't even matter. Joe Rogan was number one. The PDF simply scrolled Joe, Joe Rogan was number one. Um, let's pull up the pick. Yeah, Joe Rogan was number one, Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey on there. Jay Shetty's on there. Amy Polar, Tucker Carlson, Alex Cooper. I'm on there. Joe button is on there. Steve Barlett, Diary of the CEO, the pod. That's the pods of American guys are on there. Um, smart list is on there. A lot of the usual suspects, but everybody was having a discussion, at least in, uh, my algorithm about why there were no black women on the list. Yeah. And I want y'all to know this is not about race. Mm hmm. It's not in no way, shape or form. Sorry to tell y'all that. Okay. It's not about race. And I meant to send you this because I had actually wrote these things down. Um, this is about infrastructure. Mm hmm. And when you read about all of these different individuals, you will see that. Okay. Um, I sent this to Angela ride. That's why I'm reading it. Number one, you have to own a control, your IP, which mostly all podcasts do because you want to have a significant stake in your show and the business around your show. And that's the most important thing, guys. You have to have a business around your podcast. What is the business around your podcast? When I say business, what am I talking about? I'm talking about you have to build multiple revenue screens around your pod. You have to have a licensing deal with a platform, right? That's what breakfast club has with Netflix, right? That's what a lot of these shows have. They have licensing deals with these platforms. And then you got ads and you got sponsorships and you might be signed to a podcast network or you might be owner of a podcast network called the black effect. You got to have merch, right? You got to have live events. You got to have products. You got to have at least two or three of those things going around your podcast to really generate the revenue. Um, and most importantly, guys, because it's only like a few things that those two things are just named. And most importantly, you have to have a massive, measurable audience range. I think, you know, when I look at that, when I think about it, you say, and we think about no black women on the list, the only podcast hosted by a black woman currently with numbers like folks on that list. I don't want to hear this, but it's Candace Owens. I believe that though. Candace Owens numbers, audio and video are massive. I was actually shot Candace wasn't on that list. So maybe it's a, I don't know, maybe it's a disconnect in the business. I don't know. Are you, I feel like brand wise, people don't want to put her on a list because of what she's grown to represent. Sure. Even though Joe Rogan is a little testy. Sure, but it's not like Candace couldn't be selling merch. It's not like Candace couldn't be doing a live event. It's not like Candace couldn't be having a subscription based tier that I'm sure people would pay for. You understand what I'm saying? Like, there's a lot of different ways for Candace Owens to monetize their podcast. Candace Owens audiences, massive. Now listen, I'm only talking about numbers, guys. I'm not talking about anything else. We ain't talking black. We ain't talking white. We're talking numbers. Okay. As my guy John Holt Bryan says, numbers don't have any feelings. Okay, we're just talking math. When it comes to numbers, Candace Owens is through the roof. And I had to look up. I was thinking I was like, damn, I feel like Michelle Obama numbers should be up there. I mean, it's Michelle Obama, but Michelle Obama does about 600,000 audio downloads a month, which is Matt, which is pretty big. She's Michelle Obama. Right. And also, I would think her video numbers do well. I haven't looked on YouTube to see, but more importantly, to your point, because she's Michelle Obama, I would think brands are backing up the bank's trust.
- She got her, I mean, one of her biggest sponsorships on her podcast is Uber, I mean, Uber, Airbnb. Like that's her, her brother, they always got to do a segment about like how, the Airbnb. - But they probably spent in the bag. - But she- - 600,000 a month is not, no, on the level of the people. - No, no. - So that's why, I can understand why she was excluded. But Candace O's is one I don't understand why she wasn't on this list. - I think there's a disconnect with the business in her world. I'm, her world is subscribers. So all the people who comment, they have to subscribe. - You do have to subscribe? - Yes, subscribers. So she's getting crazy. - Oh. - Across where? - Where does she have subscribers? - To her own website. - Oh, so everything that her paywall she controls. - That comes straight in. She is, she's probably the highest paid podcaster right now, if I had to guess. - Has she still been doing it? - No, no, no, no, no. - Like for her show, not outside stuff. But if you just say the amount of money you take from your show, all her people that watch live, that are commenting are subscribed to her directly. - And through it. - So there's no, there's no Patreon getting the cuts, no YouTube getting the cuts. - Is that directly through her building? - And then she got books that she publishes. She got. - Definitely got books. - No, I told you, I'm shocked Candace O's was not on this list. I said, that is the, if there was one black woman, and I know y'all are not gonna like this, but it's just true, but we're just talking about the audience size and business, I was shocked that Candace O wasn't on that list. Now, who do I think's gonna be on the list in the future? Michelle Obama, but also with Michelle, she may not be taking on a lot of sponsors, 'cause she don't want to, because she's Michelle Obama's. Her, she's not gonna just have her brand attached to the indio thing, ain't she? Okay, she ain't gonna have Craig on there doing bluetooth ads. You know what I'm saying, like, right? But I can see Michelle Obama on this list in the future. And Kiki. - Yeah, I can see Kiki. Well, today actually, well, today that we're filming this, Meg de Stagia and Michelle Obama just went live. - Oh wow. - But Kiki Palmer has been, I know. Kiki Palmer has been having a lot of, like, she did. She did. Kiki Palmer and Michelle Obama are the two podcasts that I probably sit and watch religiously, because they're guests are out of here. - I like Kiki. I like her, I like her as an interviewer. - Yeah. - I enjoy her. But those two are able to build businesses around their podcast. In real life, it's Kiki, Angie Martinez, and Michelle Obama's podcast is where I probably get most of my, like, content, so. - Not to pivot. But what was the backlash with Kiki getting the star? - There's backlash. - I think she didn't be like, "Oh, I saw people "were saying, like, she didn't deserve that." - What? - Kiki, I'm sorry. - Well, yeah, I didn't say, I didn't say, I didn't say that. - Who would say that, though? Because is they going to go know her background? Who's the supporter we can use it? - Oh my God, it's not about race. - No, if it's not, it's not about it. - How did you hear? What race did you hear this from? - Exactly. - Oh, I saw men saying that. - I'm not even exaggerating when I see it said this. - I don't know. - Kiki Palm is literally one of the most talented people I've ever seen. - So hard working. - And she's not worth it. I feel like where her is like, she's very intentional about the work she'd be doing. Like, she don't just do every anything. She's maintained an elevated level of career for a very long time. - Yeah. - That is so hard. - She's a killer in the beat, bro. - Yeah. - Like, she has a crush. - She's such that movie didn't do an effort. - I'm sure it didn't. - Tara, what people were talking about that? What people were saying, I like a lot of her movies didn't do well either. - Yeah. - It didn't mean you wanted to TV. And then people were like, oh. - Yeah, I think Kiki got more co-classics. I mean, I think one of the biggest box office she's had it, it recently was the joint with Issa Rae in Sizzle. - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - But I love her infrastructure. Like, right now, everything she's doing, it's all in house. - Yeah. - So a podcast she controls a lot of the merch. - She's gonna have merch soon. - I Kiki's gonna definitely be on this list. - I'm forgetting to say that. - Lauren's gonna be on this list. - Now about grinding.com. - 'Cause it's not gonna work. - Who else? - What? - What? - You. - Honestly, I'm sorry about that. - Five. - What? - Seconds of what? - What? - I said you're gonna be on the list. - Hus of me. - 'Cause of you. - You need to get up every day. - Make it work. - Make it work. - Make it work. When I be tired, record them episodes and make sure we get them by 16. - I'm gonna tell you who else. - Call Charlotte Me. - Paul Minds. - Yes. - And I don't sleep on decisions decisions. - I feel like we always have this conversation with them. I feel like they should have more. - Well, it's. - And be doing more. - Decision decisions. - They're doing everything. - Wait, they are, they are, but I feel like that moment of like, they're larger than like, life pockets. Like, call her daddy, for instance. Larger than, like, she has billboards and like, all these crates. She said, I saw in a commercial, like on television for like, I forget what it was for. - Well, what is she doing there? - Are there hurdles for black women who talk sex? - Yes. - Yes. - 100%. - But why do we like the act like when women point out certain things? Like, I think the conversation around us listening no black women being on it wasn't like, everybody knowing the numbers because we know that people don't be doing the numbers all the time, right? It was more about, there are so many barriers that happen, but we love the act like, no, just pull your bootstraps up and you'll be fine. - No, but if the only reason it's hard to have those type of discussions is because there's nothing to compare it to, right? Like, the only black women-led podcast I'm telling you that can compare to the podcast on this list of candidates. The one that does better numbers than some of these people on this list. So, that's where we have to start. You have to start with the audience. - Yeah. - You gotta start with the audience. - I think doing more with decision decisions. - I don't mean that they're not being. - Everyone. - Look, I'm gonna look at them. - You know, I'm telling you, your Charlotte, you got it. - No, last time I checked it was something stupid. - I mean, I would imagine that she's very polarizing. - Yeah, but it don't matter. If you're making the list based off the numbers, you gotta put her own. - No, y'all, it don't matter. - It's a lot of people that don't, a lot of brands and businesses that, regardless of her number, don't understand each other. - That's true. That's why she's had to build that site that you're talking about. - By the way, that's what happens when we kicked off anywhere. - That's what I used to get on these panels at these advertising conferences and stuff and argue about. And I would always use horrible decisions. As the answer, I'm like, "Yo, you got guys we fucked and call her daddy and you got these two black women, Mandy and Weezy who do ridiculous numbers, right?" - Yeah. - And advertisers are scared of them. Why? Because they're black? Listen, January 20th, 20th, 26th pod scribe reported that Candace averaged about 2.9 million downloads per episode. - Per episode. - That's just audio. - Per episode, guys. - And that was down 8% from the prior month. In October 25th, listen, in October 25th, she was even higher at roughly 3.5 million downloads, ranking number one in that particular cross-platform metric. That's just audio. - And I'm not a fan at all, but I pay attention just to what's going on. - Same, what's crazy to not put her on it. - But she is out here. - When you exclude her from list like this, you just make her bigger. 'Cause now it's like, no, but the reason why that - Nobody thought a list of that wears Candace owns except for people like Kim who know the numbers. - You got to know the business? Did you know how people root for the underdog? She still carries her stuff like the underdog. - People don't like it. - I'm talking about how she portrays herself to her audience. She portrays herself as the underdog. Everybody's against me. It's type stuff. So if you exclude her from a list like this, you actually just make it bigger. - Oh, I'm lying. To the 2.9 is actually audio and YouTube views. - But that's per episode. Nobody's doing it. - No, that's per episode. - She ranked number two in downloads plus views per episode on YouTube. This was April 26th podcast, specifically reported in April, 2026 that Candace ranked number two in downloads plus views per episode and at the majority of his views were from YouTube. Her YouTube footprint is enormous. She got six crazy. She got 6.5 million subscribers and 1.49 billion lifetime views as of late July. I mean, listen. Was that what she was doing on the stuff about whether that person was a man or not? - No, I mean, I don't know. Candace has been alive. - Candace has been built. And that's the other thing too. That's the other thing I want everybody to remember about these lists. Time. People like Candace have had, they've been building this for a decade plus. She's had her part for at least six, seven years. Seven years is always the sweet spot to me. A lot of these people on this list have been doing this shit for a long, mother fucking time. Like Joe Biden has been partened for over a decade. I've been doing this shit 13 years. I'm literally hosting a podcast for 13 fucking years. - I wish we could see it end of the year wrap up ever again. - What you mean? - You and Joe Biden. - I'm talking. - I'm talking. - Yeah. - Now we ended the year wrap up. - Yep. I could produce it. - Hey, we could produce it. - I don't know if I like you no more. You was cool with what I first was. - Excuse me, but I can produce it. (laughing) - You should figure it out. - I'm just a full of jazz, am I mean? - But it's a good content. - Me and Joe don't even got to make no content. Like it's just like, no, but this is something I'd do. Actually, I would like to see you, Joe, and Act make some. - Oh god, I don't know how I'm gonna see it. - Because it's every single aspect of the internet. - Well actually, in a sense for-- - Yeah. - But-- - That would be a fire show. - Act isn't like it's a fire show. - Here's the thing with Joe. - I know, I know you don't like it. Well, maybe you don't like it, maybe it's a fire show. - I don't know how to say it, I don't know how to say it. - Fire show. - Me and Joe love each other, guys. - He's recently said that too. - We do love each other. - We love each other. - What's the question? So you and Charlotte man are at odds? - Nah, we don't. - Nah, no, it's just a funny, ongoing-- - We love each other. - It's a joke. - Yeah, we love each other. - Yeah. - But why? - We both stare at the phone. That means something. Like who?
- You're gonna call who first, you know what I mean? We rather probably run into each other. - You're right. - We probably run into each other. - We rather run into each other. - It's like, oh my God, like a talking stage. - We'd rather run into each other. Like, oh, okay, you know, just bumping into each other. Hey man, if he just bumped into each other recently. - He sound like a girl, like, yeah, I haven't talked to him. But I think I'm gonna run into him so I think I'm just gonna bump into him. - Yeah, that's why. - Oh God, thank you. - He's going where he's going where he knows you. You know he's like, he's ugly. The hell he's kind of conversation. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going there. - That's what I mean. - Yeah, that's what I mean. - Yeah, you would do that. It'd be like, yeah, 'cause I know you're going to be here on the show. - Yo, that's exactly how it's like. - Now it's never gonna happen when you put that sauce on it. - No, it's gonna happen. - Right. - It's gonna happen, guys. - It's gonna happen. - In the year, rapper would be amazing. - I think that's so funny. - These lists that you're coming out, and these are big lists. This is like, not just, and there's no shade to like, you know, these are really big lists. - Different types of genres of life, and race, religion, all that, right? - I mean, you two stick out on this list for us all the time. - 'Cause we niggas. What would that be a young boy said? - Niggas. - Are you a niggur? - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's why. - You're real hard, ER. - We two niggas on the list. - You use the P.L. side. - If they do that, they're so, they have so much influence where the rest of the culture will start to do that. Because a lot of these people, collab with one another. - Yes, that's right. - And that's what they lift all the time. Let's talk both. - What I was saying is, and what I was saying is, they need to be the fucking example. They gotta stop. - But y'all gotta have a meeting on the conversation to kick it off first, 'cause I just needed to watch. - What I was just saying is true. I don't know, what I was just saying is 100% true. I look at these lists, and that is the thing. I see them like, you're all of these people, they build with each other, they collaborate with each other, they do things with each other. And by what it's not like, we didn't do that. So we'd be lying if we said on our come-up, we all didn't help each other build. - Like, you know. - A lot of people would say that's the heyday. - Wait, and everybody was working together. - I'm not sitting there disagreeing with none of that, 'cause I'll be looking at this shit online, man. All of this back and forth is goofy. Now listen, this is some of y'all. I don't give a fuck about building with ever, 'cause I don't have no relationship with y'all. Didn't have a relationship with y'all 15 years ago, and don't really care to have a relationship with y'all now, because the shit that y'all be doing, just for clicks and views, just ain't for me. I know people wanna look at me and be like, or show me, it was a shock shock. I'm really an asshole when I wanna be, okay? So it's not like I was out here just doing shit for clicks and views, and when I did shit for clicks and views, it never felt good, and I told y'all. I told y'all that Floyd Mayweather shit didn't make me feel good when I played the audio. - So that wasn't just that you? That was, I know this gonna go wrong. - No, that was, I say it. If you listen to the audio, I'm saying it. I'm like, oh, fuck that. Like, we got the audio. Let's play it, this shit, I'm saying it. Like, I can't move like that. That shit don't make me feel good and go back to a conversation that we had with Wendy Williams at dinner about a year and a half ago now. What did Wendy say, Lauren? - She feels like everything she going through right now is God getting her back for all of the things that she said and a lot of people. - Yes, but I-- - That was God to hear that though. - At the same time. It's easier for you to say that 200 ends up, but the other people who are still on the come up, they feel, hey, this is what I have to do to get to that. - First of all, I don't know about that number. You just quote it, that's number one. Number two, 'cause this list alone is, say, 27. And that came after the 300. - That was the same. - Actually, this is before, 'cause we've asked it. - Well, we've got out about it after, so I'm adding both of you. - But forget all of that. None of this stuff means anything. - Yeah, these two 50 ends. - But you know. - And then we don't know about real estate. We don't know about these tools. - They do know about that stuff. - No, we don't know your numbers. We don't know. - No, no, you don't. - Yeah, so I'm just saying. - No, life is good, God is good. - Maybe next billionaire suspects. - By the way, pick up Little John's book. It'll be out in stores, October. It's called, "Our Only Shout So You Can Hear Me, Via Black Privileged Publishing, Simon Issues" to go pick that up. Go pick up two chains, book the voice of my head as God. Go pick up our senior halls, book his memoir, and go pick up Justin Larry, so, after we parent, all of those came out via Black Privileged Publishing this year, Simon Issues. But back to what you said. You're missing the point. That stuff what you're talking about, Alex, is you don't get to that unless you pivot. And that's what I'm trying to explain to people. There's things that guys like myself, Joe Budden, have already done. What did Jay-Z say? I went through that, so hopefully you don't have to go through that. - Yeah. - I'm telling these guys where they should pivot, where they should grow, where they should evolve now, because I'm telling you when you're in this space as a hip hop media personality, you look up and you think you can go further, but that ceiling is made of glass. So you see the sky and you're like, let me keep going, but then you just hit your head and you're like, "Damn, what the fuck?" "Damn, what the fuck?" When all you got, you just pivot, order to break the glass ceiling. But when I say pivot, I mean, don't be afraid to grow up. Understand that what you're doing is not sustainable. Do you want to go viral, or do you want to have a voice that actually has value? There's a difference. Especially, you hit the ceiling and then you pivot it. They're still trying to get to the ceiling and you're telling them, "Hey, I'm not behaving now." - You think, "I never hit a ceiling professionally." I hit a ceiling personally as a man. - Okay. - As a man, I didn't feel like I was moving around. - They want to get their numbers up. They want to get their money up first and then they want to pivot. But a lot of people follow your track record. They follow their knees track record. - Listen to me. I'm telling you that in order to get to that, you have to grow as a human. I promise you, man, that's shit that I'm watching these people online, they're a robots. They're like, "Hey, I, they're not even real individuals. They're just doing insane things because they want to get numbers and they want to get clips and they want to get engagement." If you say to me, "I'm only saying this because this is what I want to acquire," you're a combo. It's corny. - I agree with you. But it's easier to say it from your position now because you weren't doing this back then when you were saying the stuff that they were saying. - By the way, I didn't even know I could get to this. I'm just telling you that as a man, I needed to make a change. Personally, me, I wasn't happy with the way that I was moving. It wasn't, it wasn't no career issue, it wasn't no personal issue. It was what was going on with me internally. That shit that Wendy Williams said to us at dinner is exactly where my energy was. I'm like, "No." They're saying, "I'm not, I can't, I'm not, I'm not moving like this." By the way, I can point to other people in the culture I've watched that happen with. Look at Jason Lee. Now Jason won't admit that he's a little, he's still messier. He's still messier than I did me, okay? But you can't sit here and act like you and see Jason Lee pivot. A man is a freak, he's a vice mayor of fucking Stockton, California right now. - He even buttoned. - As well as doing all of this. - But, what? - Yeah. - He's pitting in. - Yeah. - Do you know I got the first time me and buttoned ever was on air together? - Oh God. - Like, hotel 39 in Columbia, South Carolina. - What y'all talking about? - It was so good. This one, he was allegedly, he was beefing with a game from June. This one, game with the June. He walked in the radio station with a June it had on, and so I'm talking to him. And he's talking to me about June and I'm like, do you, you in there talking about game, but you got a June it had on, and when I, I'm not, all I'm going to say is there was gayslurs. It was fun man. - Yeah. - Those were days. - I know. - I don't see. - No one's gonna be free. - Oh my God. Not gayslurs because people were actually gay. You know what I'm used to. - Yeah. - I didn't use it. - No matter. That was literally 20, how many years ago, that was like oh, 203, I got it. Listen, by the way, I don't, I'm with you. People got a girl born there all the time, but I'm going to tell you exactly the moves I made personally, internally to get to where I am now. - But you know, that's what, that's what gets you there. - Like you said, I have that audio, somebody, it probably really hard to find out anywhere else. Well, us right now, a lot of the things we doing, it's here, it's gonna be on the internet forever. You want to have to really talk about it. - So be intentional. Like we really don't have the threshold to make a lot of the same mistakes if you really trying to be in it for a long time, not just a good time. Like because you can position yourself somewhere where you can't get out of it. - You can position yourself somewhere where you can't get out of it if all you want to do is go viral and not have a voice that has value. That's why I be on your little ballhead all the time. Okay. Because I don't want you to be on your little ballhead. - It's okay to give, it's okay. Breathe. - You're not ballheaded. - Breathe. - Any more. - But it's okay to be nice. - I'll point to certain people and I'll be like, Lauren, you don't want to be like that. - Yeah. - You know what I'm saying? Like you want to have actual value. And she got it. Like this thing that have happened to you over the past couple of years that have given you a lot of value. I think the puppy trial gave you a lot of value. And I think the things that you choose to report about, even how you go about it when you're picking up the phone, calling sources. Like that gives you a lot of value and I want you to stay there. You want to have a boy that has value. You don't want to be just one of these motherfuckers constantly trying to go viral. - But the couple of times, when you have to mess, when you mess up in front of the world and you see and feel that, that's why I'm saying like, I, is no, you can't do, you can only do what so much. Like you got to really be tight right now. - And you got to admit when you're wrong. I'm telling myself, don't get a day. Now let me tell you how to get on the air and apologize to somebody if I got something wrong about you.
I feel like I harmed somebody in some way. There's nothing wrong with that. Pay attention to those kind of people. Pay attention to the personalities who can't even admit when they're wrong. Who can't admit when they're wrong. Who can't just be like, "Yo, I was wrong." You know what I mean? If you continue in to make excuses when you just completely got it wrong, how can we trust you? We already know we can't trust you anyway, but now we know we can't trust you. What else we gotta tell again? I mean, how long do we know? - Oh, Alex gotta go. All right, let's just ask him in here. I'm going up there. I push him, I push him, I mean. - Oh, you did? Okay. - You want more? - Well, you can listen to him asking in here. I mean, I can, yeah, let's play a bill. - Taylor wants to go. - Yeah, I have a baby. - What else you got? You got more topics? - You got a kid. - I do though, but I don't know what it is. - I know I'm asking in here, but I'm sad. I do have another one, but I don't know if, I feel like maybe Andrew would say more stuff. - What's wrong with it? The guy that wants to be a woman now, transition, going to WNBA. - Oh, I'm gonna say now. - Why you say Andrew? - Andrew, what I'm talking about. I just know you have good commentary towards it. - This whole, I think this shit is ridiculous. I don't know why this is becoming a story again, and I cannot believe that people are falling for tricks like this right before the midterm election. - That's what it is. - Like this is so dumb for Democrats to even be going back down this road, having this conversation. And I hate when they conflate two things. Because guess what? I don't know why Sophia Cunningham was asked this question, but if she's asked, should biological men play in the WNBA? The answer should be no. That should be the answer from everybody. Should biological, people that were born men, playing the WNBA, no, full stop. Any other thing, and there is no, whoa, sorry, you saying transgenders don't have a right to say, man, shut the fuck up. I ain't saying nothing like that, you ask me a specific question. Do transgenders belong in the WNBA, if you're born a biological man? No, okay. - What if they ask you the second question first? - What's the second question? - Do you feel like transgender women have a place in the NBA? - What the fuck that got to do with anything? I just dropped 20 motherfucking points and 10 rebounds. Why are you asking me this shit? There's no transgender, what's the question again? (laughing) - It's the other way around. - What's the question thing? Do you think transgender women should have a, do you think transgender women have a place in the NBA? - I would say, why are you asking me this? 'Cause I wanna know the why. I wanna know why you give a fuck. Why are you asking me this question? - Because I'm, this is what they would say. Because I'm a person who believes that all people should matter. And if a person identifies as something, we're in America, they should have a question. - What they got to do with the WNBA? - Because I agree with you. I believe all people should matter too. But what that got to do with the WNBA? - They say, they're women. - No, yeah. - It's like the bathroom argument sometimes. - Identifying as a woman, cool. You had all the right to do that. This is a free country. Which you shouldn't be a lot of playing the WNBA. - I got a really good video after this. - Oh God, what is it? - What is it? - Can I pay the bills, Taylor? - That one too. - And do some asking idiot. - Yeah. - Let's do some asking idiots, Taylor, yay! I'm not gonna catch you, they click. - Oh God. - Oh, it's mad funny to me. - What is it? - And I feel like y'all should think it's funny. - Give me kind of a first of all, Taylor. - This person has identifying as someone. But oh God, it's super funny. - No, no, no, no, no, no, it's mad funny. It's not like what y'all think. I got it. Ready? - This is like a queer fat club. - I'm queer and fat. - Okay, thank you for joining. We're just introducing ourselves at the moment. - Okay. - Do you wanna go ahead and introduce yourself, Joe? - Yeah, my name's Joe. I go back either and I identify as 275 pounds. - Okay, okay. - I feel like Jay's kind of making fun of me though. I know it's kind of a shock. I know kind of a new thing. - I'm gonna see him. - Do what? - I said I apologize. - I know you're good. - Are you comfortable leaving the group at the moment? - Why, why? - I'm not understanding why you're joining the group. - This is the queer and fat group now. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that's why I came here for. - Okay, and you said you identify as fat? - Yeah. - Okay, this is just for fat-bodied people. - Yeah, I understand. I identify as a fat-bodied person. - I'm not understanding where you're coming from. - Are you guys comfortable with me here? I mean, I'm pretty chill on my end. - I'm not comfortable, no. - Can we take like a vote? - I'm gonna ask you to leave. - This is a queer fat. - Trudeau, why can't he be there? That's how I feel about Rachel Doza. - You wanna have to be with us? - Yeah, this is two different situations. Don't do that. - Why not? - Yeah, we'll do that. - Why not? - Because he's trying to be, it's basically blackface. Hello, listening to my history. - She identifies as a woman of color. - She's not though. She gets, why can't she come in at her own self, not being a black person? - She identifies as a black man, and you love saying that he not. - He's a African-Canadian. (laughs) - You need to learn how to be more inclusive, Taylor. - Yeah. - Can we do some asking, ladies? - Just allow someone to dress like us. - No, but she. - Plain that they're black. - She's living a lifestyle. - You let Mendoa with your gender. - Hmm. - Huh? - Tell her, don't. - Hmm. - Well, I'm gonna have one better thing to do. - I'm just asking you let Mendoa with your gender. Why can't somebody do it with your race? - Yep. - You let Mendoa do the things, okay? - We let you rock, Taylor, continue. (laughs) - Let's do some asking, ladies, Taylor gang. Taylor gang, gang. - He not wrong. - By the way, I didn't say that. - About how to let Mendoa do things now. - Shout out to Brandi, too, Brandi. I think you did a good job with the different world theme song. I think the problem is everybody comparing it to the Aurethan one. - But each one, okay, it's on. - But each one, 'cause Aurethan one is so different than the boys and men one. Like, it's supposed to be like a-- - You should, that's what I'm saying. You shouldn't be comparing none of them. - Of it. - Yeah. It's new energy, it's a whole new reboot. We only know what this show gonna be about for real. Like, let them cook. - So anyway, and with these daughter goes to Hillman and she's trying to make her own pathway, but she's living in their shadow and she's rebellious. So there'll be some twists. - I love this. The reason I love stuff like this is because I feel like there's so many people from our era, not y'all, 'cause y'all, babies. But our era, that did not get they just do. I still don't feel like the Kadeem Hardsons, the Jasmine Gods of the world got there just do from different world. That was the number two show in the world. Cosby Show was number one. Different world was a spin off of Cosby Show. And it was the number two show in the world. Cosby Show was the number one show in the world. Different world was the number two show in the world. - I don't know why, 'cause it was so long ago for us. - But people know Cosby Show. I mean, people talk about that. - Everybody know different world. - Yeah. - I don't know if you're like that. - Yeah, like I never heard, my sister loved that show. - I haven't heard. - People, not from America, know about different world. - Really? - Yeah. Like the way they talk about-- - What about Martin? They'll talk about-- - They know Martin, though. - Friends. Yeah, they'll know Martin. They'll know Fresh Prince. I haven't heard anybody say different world. - I think so. Hold on. I'm gonna, let me look this up. What's the highest rated episode in different world? - I know Jersey Shore for some reason. Everybody knows Jersey. - Everybody know Paulie and Sneaky. - I don't think y'all remember how many people were watching TV back in the '90s. - No, 'cause they felt like it was just you and your house. Until we got Twitter in like my space. - All right. - What are you looking for? - Hold on, the scrunt, and I don't know. - The numbers. - I want it in millions. I don't want percentage. - I don't know if it was the number two show in the world. - It was. - Maybe an American. - Okay, you know what? I said the world. You right? - Yeah. - In America. - In America, 'cause Cosby was number one. - America. - All right, check this out. 1988. The season two premiere of different world, how many people you think watching? The season two premiere. 1988. - 28. - How much? - 29. - What do you think? - I think less, maybe three. - What do you think? - I'm gonna go 10. 34.3 million viewers. Oh, season three premiere. 1989. How many, how many, well how many do you think watch this show? - 75 million. - Season three premiere 1989. How much do you think? - I'm gonna say 50. - I know, right. No, I'm gonna say, no, I'm gonna say 80. - 36.6. - Okay. - My point is, it was only three channels, guys. Maybe four, five's might have just been around at the time. There was nothing else to do. - Oh my gosh. - There was no internet. Like everybody, that was the last, that was called a monoculture. That was like the last era of monoculture. And everybody would gather around and watch one thing. And you didn't get no rerun. - How much was it the buy a channel like that? - America's make up that. - Like so. - So you can get number seven, like. - It came on right after Cosby's show. - I don't even remember that. We like, that was way before. - The biggest document in audience was episode of the different world, 36.6. - When I was watching TV, I remember about like 100 channels then. - I remember a certain amount of channels on cable. - Yeah. - Netflix ain't bringing back different world for no reason. That's a monster. - Netflix trying to bring back everything. - Well, thank you. God bless Netflix. Keep doing it, okay. Let's continue to do more content together. All right, let's do some asking idiots. What racial stereotype from any of you?
race would you like to have? I got them all because I'm black and we got another race like like they say like white people smell like what dog or God damn it I would say Asian like the karate shit I want you gone doing that why

take from Jewish people yeah absolutely yes you got all that money you know I'm going to do it money girl they practice you need a group operation they pull their resources okay I got that I like I like I like how Jewish people get that I don't know what to tell you I don't know why I haven't studied other races enough to do Jewish people I like how they get down okay when it comes to business and how they move amongst each other don't know what to tell you that wouldn't be a bad stereotype for us to have okay okay you know what they say about us all we do is get online and hate on each other all day every day okay all we do is I say something about that why do us as black people always say the other racism do that why people definitely do be hating on each other too though I don't give a fuck what the other races do you know what I'm saying of people like we always compare ourselves like they're not we don't know what's in their business like that like I don't know what's on white Twitter exactly by the way you know why because they probably shut the fuck up don't go and that's not sure but I used to be in my old job their little algorithms I used to be like what is that what it like even like down the shows that they're watching they'd be talking about I'll be like what is this anyway talking about it where not over here they have their own little thing whatever hey y'all they could just be hating on each other I don't know to tell y'all it's like it's AI but no it's you're right I mean other other cultures do do it as well I like that but they do it but it's by

them because they emerge it when they get fucking married then I'll be proud Taylor's gonna be the first day Lauren gonna be outside so marriage is the only thing that matters and if I am outside I don't remind me yeah why didn't care about marriage so much because he knows how stupid he was until he yeah I don't think that's more important than anything else that professional shit y'all be doing y'all think that professional shit is like it's that's cool but like the real things are like it's nothing more important to you than it's that more important to you to little piece no absolutely I'm saying though like what's your dog no more thank you about that that's what you can call that your child that's my fuck you see me kicking the dog well why the dog be taking a little piece of you like the fuck out of that work often it's like that fuck about I don't know that dogs eat we haven't seen pictures of that dog yes you have you forgot she was no I don't understand why like it's to me it's yeah title school but it's about building with someone like so that's what I'm saying like for garlics of a marisol is about building so why he puts so much pressure on the title no you need a title okay how long have you been trying to get a title it I heard you want your title today you want your title I want no title I hear you're a liar you want that title I don't yes you don't really don't yes you do I want to build my own empire so I'm and be boss yeah title but it's cool though because you want to be able to call your girl some bay boo my lady what's she saying my wife you can you kiss my wife that's the mother of my child hmm I was that anyway though you know I mean like I'm trying to build no for real are you one of the three thinkers that are like I don't need marriage we don't like we need people you know it's fine I meant I I grew to be like that though she's just you know why not all you know I'm saying that though because I got her wedding and jagged edges playing my ballin I'm not I'm not young guns no better love come on she's gonna be bothered but she's going to bouquet a mother fucking what we do is wrong she's gonna be honest can I say because we didn't do it traditionally it's why I'm like we're building something regardless though like so that's what I'm saying the title to me is it's cool but I don't know who's made me the most proud I don't think about stuff like that All that make me proud. Hey, dude.
All the y'all do make me proud in different ways. They do. I've watched all the y'all grow up so much. I mean, Taylor and Nile look at I've seen them longer, but like, you know, it's weird. I've watched, when Nile first came to interview for her internship, I went and introduced myself. Like, so I just, like, the watch people just grow and I give up on their dreams and like, be doing what they want to do. That shit is dope, you know what I mean? Watch Taylor grow and, you know, go from being a producer to now being the head of imaging and like, creating the sound of breakfast club and, you know, being a lonely-ass girl, searching for a man and now I have a guy and a family. That shit is dope, didn't it, man? Only as a girl is crazy. That was never lonely. Like, you do not do that. Even watching Lauren's journey, see Lauren come from TMZ and not even to really understand how much she was grinding to even be here, but to hear the story and, you know, see what she put in and to see what she is, nah, that shit is dope. Like, you got to be right there. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, make a thing. Don't make it a thing, Lauren, just keep right there. No, like, she don't have nothing else. It's not for professional shit. Like, I can't say anything. I can't say anything, like, she got a-- What, do you like my life? I was looking at you because I'm like, there got to be signs of a stroke. I just don't have anything. I don't can't be like, oh, she got married. I can't be like, I can't do none of that. Like, you know, Mr. Derek Jr. says, why do you think humans can't get along? Social media. Humans can get along. No, we can't. Way before social media, what do we mean? And resources, because resources are not evenly distributed on this planet and never have been. There's always somebody who's going to always have more. And that is going to always cause this function that is going to always cause chaos, that is going to always cause conflict. That's just the way that it is. If we moved with more reverence, that's so crazy, because that's what I just read and see to the soul. They got a chapter called reverence. And they were like, yeah, we have to start having more reverence for each other as people. Because when you just have reverence for a person, you're going to move differently. You're going to treat them differently. You're going to treat them the way you would like-- Referring like a regard for a person, you know what I'm saying? That you have to have that for other individuals in order for you to want to actually see a person have what you have essentially. So, you know, Adrian, Dr. Palito, 594. How do you rebuild trust in the relationship when I got caught cheating? I still love him. That's a question for the ladies, man. How does a man rebuild trust? First of all, she probably was cheating back. No, no, no, no, she. Yeah, she probably was cheating back. So that's number one, let's just say that. Why, what, what, what, what, what, what, what are you talking about? And then secondly-- So she did them wrong, and you're saying, oh, he musta fucked up? Yeah. No, no, no, no. I think you know, rather man or woman, it's just about the action. If they are willing to stick around and see what your action execution is after, it's all about that. And you have to be honest and own up to what you did. Because if you get caught, normally a person knows enough because they're catching you, don't talk around. So directly to what you did, I did it. Here's what happened. Because I think cheating builds like deeper issues where you're trying to figure out like why. Like a person always wants to know the why, even if there's no why. So if you're like sending somebody on like a mental spin when they're already spinning, it just makes things worse. That's how you dealt with it. When I cheated in my past relationship, I was so gone at that point, I, it was just like. So you didn't try to work things out? I mean, we were still together, but it was, I was reacting to something. I didn't just go cheat. I cheated back. Ah, okay, that's why you did it. So for me, you cheated back? Yeah, so for me in my past relationship, it was like, yeah, I got caught, but like you did too. So what would be going to do? I think. And that wasn't good though. It wasn't good, huh? It's a wrap up. No, you can't get caught just yet. Yeah, that's not true. All men, there's a lot of men that you've never been cheated in. And they would a person. No, I didn't state. But why though, might as well you work it out? Because the loyalty's done. But why? Why is it really because you cheated? But why is it? No, I'm asking that because women can forgive men of cheating. So I'm asking why a man like why? Next question. It's why? You know her? Let's get into it though. How do you rebuild trust, Taylor? When you got caught cheating, how do you rebuild trust? They'll, I'm different though, because if I'm cheating, then I really don't want the relationship. OK, there you go. A man cheating on you. If a man cheating on me, for me, so look, I would say that I wouldn't, I, I would never go back to them. Like, I'm man cheated and I pepper sprayed one and also the other one I love. So that's nice, pepper sprayed is nice. It is nice, could I? She's classy. Yeah. But it's stupid, but it depends. If the girl wants you back, honestly. If the girl don't want you back, then you can't rebuild the trust. Perse, I don't know the situation. But if she does, like, you see so care, I would say, then he has to be consistent, like overly communicate where he's at, where, like, all that. So that's the next question. Women cheat different. Oh, there's no more, guys. Yeah, I do. Yeah. Charlotte, wrap it up. Wait a minute. No. Why do you think you cheat this day? They make it be emotionally unconnected or something, something, something, something. Oh, that's where everybody goes to. Yeah. A man cheating on me, nothing. How do y'all think that? This emotion that comes from y'all-- It's really not. It's not. It's really not. You just-- who just said, though, that-- No, I'm not saying that men can't grow to like somebody else or love somebody else. No, but there's still an emotion of why you're cheating. If you vow to be loyal to this person, that's an emotion going like-- And you know, as a one-- I don't see. Have you ever dealt with someone? Have you ever been the person that's, like, someone's in a relationship and you're dealing with them? Have you ever-- has that ever been? I've been the person that was dealing with someone. And that was in a situation, in a relationship. And you know that that is not true. It depends on where they are in that relationship. You can cheat and catch feelings and do all these things. I'm not trying to hear that. So if you make a decision to open yourself up to even potentially that emotion in a relationship, to me, it's like that is like the ultimate, no. I think that men don't be wanting anything except for to get their dick stuck sometimes. And I don't think that it has anything to do with the woman whatsoever. I think that men sometimes look at women as an escape. And when we're trying to escape whatever we may be dealing with, sometimes it's alcohol, sometimes it's drugs. Most of the time it's women. And that's just the reality is it's weird. But why? And it has nothing to do with the woman that we love and wear with. Just different. We just got our dick stuck real quick. It's different. Why can't we be the same for a man like just like my clip real quick? I don't believe women are going like that. I just don't-- I said the word. I know, I don't move. You see, she's even surprised that you said that. Why? I don't believe women are to be like that. I just don't. I could be wrong. You literally were just picking up Mandy and Weezy. It's like, y'all don't think we can. But that's what I'm saying. That's one of my biggest advantages is the fact that you guys don't think we're capable of. But we make you feel like you're more than what you are. And we know you're not. You said that I know what you're going to do then. They never were that. I knew that. That's not y'all beachy. And different. Y'all just all this extra stuff. Too much emotion. No, it's too much. Oh, it's too much of a dream. Y'all have like I said, we cheat. We understand things. I mean, I don't have no better cognition though a lot of times. You can't think about your thinking. Like I can think about my thinking. I can think about my thinking. Now, do I always want to hold myself accountable for what I realize when I think about my thinking? Exactly. Better cognition lets me know that, just because I'm with another woman, that means it don't mean anything. Now, can you have feelings for another woman? Yes. That don't mean I'm about to leave. And be with this person and leave my happy home. Have I seen other men that happen to? Yes, but you know what I really attribute that to? That really who that person was supposed to be with. Like if you've been with a woman for a long time, and then you get with another woman, and you know, you've been with that woman for-- you end up being with that woman for 25, 30 years. That's the woman you was supposed to be with. I got plenty of old geez in my life. I've seen none of that happen. I think that's perfect. So you don't even know what would be going on in the marriages. You don't even know another that circumstance. But if you are with a good woman, and you're supposed to be so happy and all that, and you still out her cheating, y'all is something with y'all. Like, we don't do that. Like, if we are happy and we are good, we're not just out here looking and cheap. So you just-- you just prove my point. I say, y'all cheap. Different. But when we do go cheap, we can be just as vile and-- I can't be, but y'all-- I don't believe it. Different. I think women can-- I don't believe. If they're from Florida, they can. Dang it. Damn, man, dude. We just don't want to stop it. That's all people for. It's not a big wheezy, getting married. That's another way, and I can't afford to go to-- Can I say no? --the way to go to the wheezy way. The same way-- I know, guys, at least it's her-- but the same way that-- Damn it. You must have had it. It's all right. It's all right. OK, no, no, no. I do remember. OK. Use the body to see some more. No, no, no, no. The same way how y'all think.
