Starting point is 00:00:00 A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Delarocha, a host of Sacred Lessons, a space for men to pause, reflect, and heal. This year, we're talking honestly about mental health, relationships, and the patterns we're ready to release. If you're looking for clarity, connection, and healthier ways to show up in your life,
Starting point is 00:00:21 Sacred Lessons is here for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Delaroach on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the Valley of Despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're you get your favorite shows. This show contains information subject to, but not limited to personal takes, rumors, not so accurate stats, and plenty more. What's up, man? This is your boy, Nav Green,
Starting point is 00:01:10 from the Broken Play Podcast. Look, it's the end of the season, the playoffs are here. But guess what? It ain't the end of your season. You can always tune in with Broken Play Podcasts with Nav Green on the Black Effect Podcast Network.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Not a team who ain't going to the playoffs. The Chief. It's time to rebuild. Listen to Broken Play with Nav Green from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or whatever you get your podcast. The big news of the day, what we're here for?
Starting point is 00:01:50 The Rip. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, the movie is set up, it's like a heist. They walk into a room and there's $20 million. Now, the question is, you walk into a room, there's $20 million in cash. They're police officers. How much do you keep? How much do you turn in? How much do you turn in?
Starting point is 00:02:08 You're supposed to turn it all in. We're going to find out what they do. That's going to be the interesting. part. So we want to, first of all, we want to thank Netflix for giving us this. So thank you. I could not have done this without you. The big news of the day, Mike Tomlin after 19 years, steps down for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And because he stepped down, that means if he signs with another team, they're going to owe
Starting point is 00:02:35 the Pittsburgh Steelers compensation. So it probably was a mutual agreement. Look, you do your thing. We're going to do our thing. We're going to move in a different direction. But to make it look classy. we're not terminating you because that's three coaches in 50 years. Chuck Nall took it from 69 to 92.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Coach Cowan took it from what, from 92 until 2006, 2007, and then Mike Tomlin took it over from there. So they've only had three coaches in 50-plus in what since 1969. I mean, so you can't argue the success that the Steelers have had. But I think this was great for both teams because I do not believe the Pittsburgh Steelers were any closer, be it with Mike Tomlin, based on how their roster is assembled, the quarterback situation, the offense,
Starting point is 00:03:22 I don't think they were close. And having a non-losing season, that's not what you're really going for, Ocho. That's not the standard. It's never been a standing where to come to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're a championship winning organization. If I'm not mistaken, they have what, five, six Lombardy's.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Six? No, they have six. So obviously, with the standard, being the standard, you can't be satisfied. We're just saying, okay, at least we don't have a non-lose season. above 500 this year. I told, we talked about it last night. I think they're going to allow him to walk away.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And lo and behold, today, you know, he walks away. It's shocking. I didn't think that. What did you think is, Joe? Man, I think, I think Mike Tomlin took a good, hard look at the situation. It was like, you know what? Maybe I should take some time off. But like y'all said, I think it was a mutual decision.
Starting point is 00:04:12 And I think he's going to get a coaching job somewhere because there's so many coaching vacancies in the NFL right now. And it's a lot of jobs that look, pretty good. I think he'll definitely end up coaching against someone. Me personally, I think he moves to the front of the list. I think he jumps in front of John Harbaugh. I think so. And you look, now what thought
Starting point is 00:04:30 was, you know, Harbaugh has his pick of pick. Now with Mike Tomlin on the thing, because you're talking about somebody that's been 19 years, that's been to multiple Super Bowl. Yes, he's only won one. He's won more division titles than John Harbaugh. So the Giants, that looks appealing. Atlanta,
Starting point is 00:04:46 that looks appealing. Tennessee, that looks appealing. I think Mike Tomlin is going to have this choice. Where he wants to go, where does he want to coach? Does he want to take a year off? Does he do TV? Or does he want to jump right back in it? What if it's not even NFL? What if he takes a college? What if there's some vacancies in college?
Starting point is 00:05:04 I'm not sure if he wants to have to deal with the NIL drama, but still, I think Mike Tomlin is going to be able to go anywhere where this college level, what's the NFL, but he's going to have to go to a situation that's advantageous for him. But if you don't have a quarterback, he can be right back in purgatory like you were with the damn Steelers. Right. I don't see college with my comment.
Starting point is 00:05:22 I don't either. I don't see. And first of all, there's no college vacancies open currently. That hiring cycle of me, LSU's gotten filled by land camp in Penn State's been filled. So all the coaching vacancies have been filled. But they have a lot of them in the NFL. Arizona's available. Atlanta's available.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Tennessee's available. The Giants are available. I like the Giants. Hey, now it's been reported that LaFleur and the Packers are trying to work on a long-term deal. You got one more year left and you don't want to be a late. You got one more year left, and you don't want to be a late. aimed up. You want some security. And you want the team to realize like, okay,
Starting point is 00:05:54 because a lot of time, the players will look like, man, you only got one year. We ain't listening to you. So give him some security. Let him, let the team know that he is in charge. But Mike Thomas, this shocked me. And you said it last night that you thought the Steelers would allow him to step away from it. I didn't see that coming. I did not see that. No, I didn't. I mean, honestly, the right was on the wall.
Starting point is 00:06:13 The right one was on the wall. And the fire Thomas stuff. You know, the noise, it got louder and louder, Joe. It got loud on out. Yeah. And it's becoming, you know, kind of dissatisfied with just mediocrity. Yeah. That's never been a standard for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So at some point, understanding, and the problem is, this is the problem.
Starting point is 00:06:32 When you had been Rothersberger, you should have already had someone in place. They didn't have a possession plan. They should have it in place. They didn't want to step on his toes, though. Yeah. Green Bay gave you the blueprint. Yeah. They had Brett Barb still playing at elite level.
Starting point is 00:06:45 They get Aaron Rogers. They get Aaron Rogers still playing at the elite level. to get your love. Now you got a succession plan in place, but you wait, well, I don't want to step on running. Bro, you can't worry about his feeling. Because guess what? He's happy.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Man, they ain't draft no quarterback, but look where you. Look where it left you. Right. So because, you know, Ben started to get older, you could tell Ben wasn't the same guy. So you,
Starting point is 00:07:08 in order to be a head coach, and this is, I think, one of the reason why coaches don't get close to players. Because at some point in time, you're going to have to let your best player. You're going to have to let him go. You would have to make very, very, And so that's why I'm really surprised that Mike Tomlin decided to step away.
Starting point is 00:07:26 But like you said, it was a situation where the noise is starting to get louder and louder. I mean, like really, by Mike Tomlin? Yeah. You've never heard. I don't think you heard that. I mean, like I said, I was, we didn't have 24 hours of social media like with Coach Noel or Coach Cowher. I know early on when Coach Coward didn't have, but Coach Cowell went to the Super Bowl in his third year.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Mike Tomlin won the Super Bowl in his second year. Yeah. So he's had success and went back again, I think three years later, ended up losing to the Packers. But since then, we talked about it last night, guys. Joe, Ocho and I was talking, seven straight losses in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Tie with Marvin Lewis for the longest in NFL history. Look, we love Marvin. He was a defense coordinator when I was in Baltimore. orchestrated a historic defense. He was your head coach. Seven straight losses in NFL history. As long as the NFL's been going on, that is a record.
Starting point is 00:08:26 That's not something you want to be a part of. That's not what you want to be a part of. But I'm like Mike Tomlin, though, for a number of reasons. First off, he was a culture changing. Yeah. You know what I mean? Absolutely. And not only that, y'all know this because y'all play the game,
Starting point is 00:08:38 but he's going to get to respect any other players, all the players on the team. So he walks in instantaneous. So wherever he goes or whatever change, he gets like unksa he probably jumped the he'll probably jump hardball to get a job but yes man they know he'll come change the culture wherever he goes so okay i'm looking forward to it but if anything shoot we got a special guest joining us for boys night out uh good friend about i've been knowing this dude man he's how old what they do baby ah took that thousand and a hundred
Starting point is 00:09:07 huh he oh wait oh oh oh oh yeah we bet that thousand on the show for real oh he got a Some of Amnesian. Yeah. You do all the matter of thousand times. I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you.
Starting point is 00:09:22 We are. Thank you, Jordan. I've been knowing this dude. This dude, we used to work out together, run track together, go break bread together. So it's always good to see him. Even though every day,
Starting point is 00:09:34 once in a while, we'll take each other. Man, you in Atlanta. Y'am in Atlanta. Let's go break bread. So it's good to see you. Oh. Talking about back down.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Stepping down. Are you surprised that the Steelers and Mike Tomlin are parked ways? I'm surprised. He was there for so long. Him and Harbaugh, the two coaches, and him and team, two decades. And like you said,
Starting point is 00:09:55 you only can coach what you got. Yes. And if you ain't got it, you know, sometimes fans want you have more. And I think he got a lot out of the team he had. They were still missing some offensive pieces. You know, he tried, made the playoff. And, hey, they ran to a jugger all that.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Houston is the best defense in the league. So you got a 40-year-old quarterback. Yes. That's going to be hard to be. beating young guys. It is. But the problem and you're right, you can only coach what you have, but a part of his job is to make sure they have. Yes. He's the charge
Starting point is 00:10:23 of the roster. He chose to go, they get a 42-year-old quarterback. I don't know what you were thinking. How far a 42-year-old quarterback is going to take you, especially in the cold. Most quarterbacks, as they start to get age, and they get older, they like warm weather. They like Miami. They like Tampa. They like to be
Starting point is 00:10:39 indoors. Second of all, when he had an opportunity, I think the thing is, he allowed his relationship with Ben Rothensberger not to not allow him to draft a successor to Rothersberger. Like Green Bay did, they had a successor for Brett
Starting point is 00:10:54 Farm. They had a successor for Eric Rogers. You've got to think you've got to project. You can't like think Ben Rothensberg is going to play there for 30 years. And so I think that's what really happened because in the way the NFL is set up now, it used to be bring your run
Starting point is 00:11:10 game, bring your defense. And you could get away with a marginal quarterback. Right. In today's NFL, you've got to have a stud to play that position if you want to go far. You can make the playoffs. But if you talk about going far and winning and challenge for championships, without that piece, it's not happening. I heard you in Joe talking earlier. Trey Young got traded.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I'm surprised. But I think what happened, and Joey, we talk about this. In his absence, you saw Jalen Johnson go to another level. And you're like, hold on. This kid, Young. He's six foot nine. He can handle the ball. He can dish out of assist.
Starting point is 00:11:48 He can rebound. He can score. Trey, we love Trey. But we're talking about a guy that's six foot tall that really doesn't rebound, that doesn't play defense. Yeah, let's move in a different direction. Let's see what you get as far as that said. Joe, let's go to you first.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Are you surprised that they finally moved on from Trey? No, I'm not surprised. I thought the writing was on the wall because they played so great when he was in the lineup. And then you put the ball in the hand. and Jalen Johnson, I didn't know he could play make the way he does. I didn't need play. Like I told y'all, I just told, oh, in the month of December,
Starting point is 00:12:21 he averages triple double. Yeah. Like, that's rare for a guy, six, nine, handling the rock, he can score the ball, he can make guys around him better. And then the guys that surround him, they all lock in, play defense.
Starting point is 00:12:31 They gritty, bro. They gritty. So I think they kind of showed when Trey was absent out the lineup, and obviously, they was ready to move on from him. That's why you don't let nobody
Starting point is 00:12:41 get your father. And that's why when you buy a belly They said when you buy a bill, they keep low miles on it. When you sell you, get your money back. Exactly. So I guess Atlanta tried to sell Tray, get their money back,
Starting point is 00:12:52 they give you somebody else. But they really didn't get money. They basically got CJ on an expiring contract. That seemed like the way they wanted to go to have some maneuverability this off season. Right. So, I mean, Tray was the face of the franchise.
Starting point is 00:13:06 I don't think Atlanta ever forgave them for swapping. You had Luca. You traded Luca for Trey. And I think trade was perfect for the city because Atlanta, but you look at what Luca doing, Luca. Right. Neither one to play defense, though, O.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Neither one to play defense, but I think Atlanta didn't go to get the pieces of their fit with Trey, L.A. would get the pieces of that fit with Luke. Luca, correct. But Luca's still a problem, too. He's 6-6, Trace 5, 11, 6 feet. But my thing is, both are going to shoot the three. I think Luka maybe get the guys involved more than the trade,
Starting point is 00:13:40 but trade is small. Yeah. So in Washington, he can be okay. Because they need somebody to bring the fans in. Yes. And then his contract, they're going to pay him for the next three or four years. He's going to get his money. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:50 But they're going to see what can be involved with the team. That's going to be the thing. I think the biggest thing is also, Joe, is that being a great player on a bad team. They're a bad team. Just get your numbers. That's the year. That's what you're going to get. You'll get your money.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Guys get their numbers. They get paid. Teams, when they pay you that's $34 million, they want to see something. Yeah. Most of a lot of these guys get that $34 million, they game going. another way. Yeah. They're not really they're not looking. And look on really good team you can't
Starting point is 00:14:20 be paying a whole bunch of guys. You've got to like settle in now. Oklahoma City you saw what they did. They gave Shane his money. They gave Jay Dub his money. They gave his money. At some point time, you can't pay everybody everybody can't be on a max contract. So they're going to start losing some of those auxiliary
Starting point is 00:14:36 pieces. Kind of like what happened with our Golden State. Yeah. They're retired and these other guys start going different places and start branching off. So it cuts into your depth. But you look at Atlanta, I still don't think Atlanta is a contender. Even with CJ and Johnson and Dice and Daniels and Walker, I don't. They probably need about another piece or two, meaning as far as Biggs, another rim protector,
Starting point is 00:15:02 a guy who can move, great in pick and roll, things of that nature. But I think they're on the right trajectory as far as, you know, where they're trying to go. Now, are they going to get there? I don't know. But I like the team that they have. those guys, blue collar workers, they got some guys who can score. And like I say, big fella, Jalen Johnson,
Starting point is 00:15:19 he makes all those guys better. So they're a fun team to watch, though. He definitely should be, he definitely should be an all-star. Oh, he'd be all-N-B-A, all-N-B-A. Yeah, all-N-B-A. Yeah, all-N-B-A. Yeah, all-N-Bey-A. Yeah, I didn't know he could come like that.
Starting point is 00:15:33 But this brings something else to the latter, the ball flowing. Yeah, there you go. Guys stand around waiting, what trade going to do the ball. Right, so now they're going to have more team chemistry. And when you get more team chemistry, everybody's going like, okay, go out and fight every night.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Everybody feel like they're part of the night. Right, they're going to go out and fight every night. So now they go, like I said, the fans might be mad and trading, but they're going to see you like on the floor. That's what you're going to see the difference. Yeah, yeah. And ball hoppers. Oh, I know you follow football.
Starting point is 00:15:59 So what do you think? You see the first game on Saturday, you got the Broncos, Buffalo, and then you got the 49ers who went into Philly and pulled an upset. They take on the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks beat them the last game of the season to take over that division. and then you got the Patriots take on the Texas and then you got, yeah, and the Broncos and Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Who are you like? I don't know, it's going to be tough. I've been saying you're seeing something probably the best football in years. Right. Guys, you know, going down to the last possession and the defenses, you know. I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I know they want Buffalo to be there, but, you know, you got to win the game to get there. Exactly. But I think I'm going to go with the young dogs. I'm going to go with Houston. And I think, you know, Even Seattle is playing great. But I think New England, Buffalo, I probably take New England, New England,
Starting point is 00:16:50 New England, Seattle in the Super Bowl. Wow. I like that. I can see that. I like that. A rematch of Super Bowl 49. There you know. Maybe it'll be a different outcome.
Starting point is 00:17:02 You got a baby Tom Brady. Yeah. And they got that defense in Seattle. Defense of Seattle. Yeah. Yeah. Man, O'Creciate you joining us for football. No problem, man.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Thank you guys. Boys, not, I appreciate you, man. Oh, got me. Oh, come to get that money to you. Yeah, na, nine, nine. Let me go. He owe me old. So let me go out.

But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike Delocho, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity,

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof,
Starting point is 00:19:48 why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion.

Starting point is 00:21:30 What's going on for the day? Um, it came to check your house. I appreciate. We appreciate that. I appreciate that. I appreciate it. Congratulations you all for what you got going on. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I appreciate it. I'm a fan and Amaya what you've been doing on both of your shows. Appreciate it. Let me ask you there. You got music coming out? We got some music coming out. We also got a show that's been running, doing pretty good for this past three months.
Starting point is 00:21:51 I'm excited. Hey, man, change this out. Man, why you be going back and for with everybody? Man, let people live, man. It's all the amount. We live in an algorithm world, right? There you go. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Ringmaster. You heard? And you can't let nobody just take no shots at you. You got to play. And there's a, there's a, like, you know, it's only for so much you can take. Sometimes you got to bust a little shot back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And if they fall for the bait, then you know how to manipulate. the algorithm in your favor and bend it to turn it to make something for you, then I always take my negatives and turn them into a positive. So the more you put me in front of your explorer page, the more I have to offer to those people that want to know
Starting point is 00:22:26 who I am. Right. And why are you in this front of this explorer page? Yeah, so you want their fans' eyeballs on you. Of course. And if they're not talking about you, then you're not doing something right. If you ain't got no haters, you ain't popping. It's always been that way. Right. I heard you mentioned a
Starting point is 00:22:42 the Chrome Heart situation. And then Chrome Heart has, you're like, bro, I was with Chrome Heart 10, 15 years ago. And now I only do Chrome Heart because everybody wearing it. Y'all tried to make it something more. And we was, when it wasn't popping, Jones was in Chrome Heart. We were Chrome Heart. Shout to Chrome Heart. I don't wear it as much as I used to.
Starting point is 00:23:03 When we started, it was something that a lot of people didn't know about it. I wouldn't say I'm the first rapper to wear it because I see, but I'm the first rapper to bring it to the game that made an aesthetic for people to to wear as a lot of it. 100%. And now it's commercialized. I'm not mad at it. They're getting their money. You heard? Like for a long time, they've been under the radar for a very expensive brand.
Starting point is 00:23:23 And now the kids then took it to a whole other level. So I'm not mad at what they do. And the funny part about it, Chrome Hearts and some of these other high-end brands, we weren't even their target audience. No. We weren't their target audience. But because it's someone like Jimmy, and I can remember back in the day, because I'm older than you, I'm 58. So I remember seeing you in it and not knowing what it was
Starting point is 00:23:41 and doing my homework. and shoot, man, years later, you know. I mean, most of the high-end brands, we weren't the target audience. But you see, because, Jim, you remember this. I remember back in the early 2000, they made, like Louis Vuittani Gucci, they wouldn't make a number of extra large.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Now they make double, they make triple, because guess what? Athletes got money. So if they go squeeze in it, let's make it big enough for them to pay. Athletes are entertainers. Yeah. They used to, I'm trying to tell you,
Starting point is 00:24:10 I forget the brand. that the biggest shoe size they had was a 12. Well, a lot of people that got big money were 13, 14, 15. Yeah. They didn't get fit. Because before, if you wanted a big-sized shoe, I don't know if you know Freeman.
Starting point is 00:24:24 You remember Freeman? Yeah, yeah. They was the only one that if you wanted a skiing shoe. They got it. And you wanted the bigger size, you had to go there. But you see all these other guys, and they're like, wait a minute. We're letting somebody monopolize on something that we can get.
Starting point is 00:24:38 It's just like cards. You know, remember, if you wanted to swayed, You mean to tell me y'all to spend the extra 10,000? Well, I'll snap it on there for you. You put a sound system in there. They got hard and carbon. They got all these bowls surround sound. They got everything.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Cars even coming with tinted windows now. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. You know, the car going to come fully. You can order everything you need for a car right now. Anything that you would get out the market, it'll come on. On the car from the factory. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:13 You're absolutely right. right, man. So things of change. What's the biggest change that you know to, Jim, in the music industry? From when you first got into what you see right now? How music is consumed, because when we did it, it was like a treasure hunt. We get to go to the actual music stores, go pick up the
Starting point is 00:25:31 CDs, put it in the CD and listen to it. Now they just got to pick up their phone and press one button and they listen to it. And the tension span is way shorter than it was when we were actually enjoying the music store. But most artists now, they got to create a lot of music, way more music than we would when we were younger
Starting point is 00:25:47 and things like that, because a law of that expectation of new, it's gone. These kids they listen to the music and it's over with. It was fun though, Ocho. Oh yeah, it was. Absolutely. You remember them little boutique mom and pop shop? You go and you have them to play
Starting point is 00:26:03 it and you would actually listen to it. Yes, sir. And you listen to it. You could buy incense, you could buy, oh, you can buy cavils and stuff like that. And you listen to it and you say, you know what? Make your I want this, this, this on that, and then it turned you with 8 track at first, and then it turned to a CD, then it turned to the MP3. Now, there's, like you said, I mean, you just download, you go to YouTube and you go to Spotify,
Starting point is 00:26:26 you go to Apple Music, whatever the case may be. But the intimacy that you used to have, man, we really felt like we knew them artists. Yeah, right. Man, with BDK was out. Hey, bro, let me, hey, man, that new BDAQ, let's go hear that thing. The booklet, even the booklet that we said, that was. Yeah. They have all the songs in the word.
Starting point is 00:26:47 You remember the word. Where the state of music is right now. And have you been able to, how do you feel the transition for you as being trying to evolve now that music is different as opposed to when you first started? I always try to keep up with the game. I mean, I'm not mad at anything. I'm following the business. I've created my own business model when it comes to the new way that music is consumed and brought right now.
Starting point is 00:27:10 And I've always been an independent artist, so I've got to do things on my own anyway. So right now, with these distribution deals that these artists are getting right now, I've already been on it. So I'm pretty much already been in the lane. But what's new for us now for artists like myself was we're embarking on podcasts. And what this podcast do is give us another lifespan and entertainment because now people get to learn about our personality as opposed to just hearing us on music and things like that. So it opens up a whole new door for people to get next to us and for us to keep getting money inside the entertainment world. Right. Hey, Jomo, I'll pay attention to you on IG.
Starting point is 00:27:45 I see you got a barbershop. You sell clothes in there. You do your podcast in there. Yes. What else are you trying to do in that space, bro? Well, I have a facility in the Bronx called an IFC. I'm building a multipurpose content facility for music, media, fashion, and broadcasts on all levels. So we have sound stages, podcast rooms, LED walls.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I also have a sneaker store in there, barbershop. in there, two studios, a grocery store in there. We shoot our own park guests in there with Fab and Maine and everybody, let's rap about it. We have photo rooms in there, like, so it's a full. That's a one-stop shop. You got to go to that way. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:28:25 That's the way they do it now. I mean, shopping grocery stores, now they sell wine. They got a bar in there. Hey, they'll make your sandwich. Why you, hey, why you shopping? Hey, why you shop at a ride? Hey, they'll fix you a drink. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:40 People pushing the car and drink in the hand. They don't keep you in there to keep spending that money. People like yourself, when you're coming town, like this is a place that you can go to, get multiple things done and get out of there. Not to mention the shopping, but like, I'm open 24 hours. Right. You got some dripping there for you, boy. 100%. I got to get the super tall sizes now.
Starting point is 00:29:01 That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. You got to get you right. Jim, you touched on this earlier because at first it was 8-track, then it became the CD, then the MP3. the iPod has become absolutely I think Apple don't even make iPods anymore So now the way that you're doing
Starting point is 00:29:17 Is that you like the way we consume music Is that you always want to make sure I'm in a position that I can have people consume my music And so what's what's the next transition Is it always going to be Because I don't think we're ever going back I don't think they're going to be some niche Where you sell a couple hard copies
Starting point is 00:29:35 Nostal nostalgia value but we're not going Yes 100% I mean, I believe we're in a place where if you have the influence and your artists that've been in the game, you can kind of curate your own business model when it comes to the fans that love you. Because if you have a group of fans, a couple thousand, a couple thousand fans that's going to dive into everything you got, buy everything you got. You could make a hell of a living just for those small numbers every month. Just keep feeding them different things, merch. Like, it's this, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:30:04 So for artists that been in this game, I think this is a great time for them to really double. down on the legacy and all the work they put in to continue to make money. Because you're giving it directly to the consumer. Instead of having to go through this person, that person, this. Yeah, yeah. It's way easier now because everything's on the phone. So this is much as quick as you can go to iTunes.
Starting point is 00:30:26 If you are artists that have some influences, you can get the directed consumer. They're going to go right to your website and get what they need from you. So, I mean, it's a great time if you got hustle in you. If you don't got hustle in you, it might not work for you the way you need to. thing you say, you got to hustle. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:41 People ain't giving out free money. People not, bro, you got to go get it. It's out there, too, nice. It's out there. It's out there. It's out there. Yes, it's out there. But you have to go get it.
Starting point is 00:30:54 And, you know, the thing is, and a lot of times, maybe, Jimmy, you say you've always been independent, but a lot of times the label took care of everything. They did the marketing. They did studios. They did the class. No, you got to, you got to do all that on your own now. But all that pie where they were taking, well, you know, we did get to sit this collab up and we did book this studio and we did do this.
Starting point is 00:31:17 By the time you get your money, you're like, well, what happened to my money? Well, we had to market it and we had to, you know, get the radio spins and we had to do all this and Xyz. That's why you'll check little or nothing. Where if you hustle yourself, a piece of the pie? Big a piece of the pie. And that's what it's about. Yes, it is. So, man, I'm excited, man.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Thanks for coming out. Richard. Really appreciate you coming out, hanging out with boys. Boys Night Out. Netflix. Thank you again. The Rip, getting ready to go see. Matt Damon, Van Affleck,

Starting point is 00:32:49 Hey, being in that situation. Yeah. That's if it was three, if it was us three. Yeah. And we was on duty. Yeah. And we went in there and found 20 million. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Yeah, we're going to have to hold up on their call. Yeah. We don't have to hold up on the car. But yo, we got to hold up on. Oh, no. We're going to hold up on. No, no. No, okay, it's what we gonna do.

Starting point is 00:33:36 They won't investigate us on that. No. They're going to, they're going to. But you can't go out there buying, uh, cullin and all that. Yeah. I already got all that, so not. Yeah. Now, but I'm saying if you were a police officer.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'm not going to do that. You got to leave, you got to live in a salary. No, I don't know, police officers pinching. Yeah. Yeah. Because you ain't got no salary, remember? You got no more occupation.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Maybe you pick up a side hustle. Maybe you, you know, you're a bounce or somewhere. You're walking in front of the clubs. See, you got a thing. This is me. So, you know, every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help?

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof. why shame hides in plain sight and how real strength comes from listening
Starting point is 00:35:41 to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy, as in compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath,
Starting point is 00:35:58 listen to the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

Starting point is 00:36:41 Where did his phone Nick's at? He ain't too far behind. He did all this talk about. What Matthew Stafford is doing statistically, bro, is crazy. Bro, you know I ain't no Josh Allen fan, but Matthew Stafford got better weapon. Caleb Williams. Hey, he should be in that conversation.

Listen to Broken Play with Nav Green from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app. or whatever you get your podcast. You got to worry about me doing that.

Starting point is 00:37:33 We're out here moving. Get into it. What's you've been on Lately? Man, we got that podcast. Yeah. You Davey? You're me? No, I'm named on. Jimmy?
Starting point is 00:37:42 Yep. Me. How you like the podcast space so far? I love it. I love it. What do you love about it so far? I love the fact that I could be honest and I could tell all my business. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:53 You can tell your story before somebody else put out half of your story. They can't use it against you when you put it out there on. Did you ever see yourself being a podcast at all? Well, I had a podcast before. Okay. Right. So I was doing a podcast. It was called Kitchen Talk.
Starting point is 00:38:07 And I did kind of good with it. You know, I wound up doing a deal with Fox Soul. Okay. But when I did the deal with Fox Soul, it kind of changed the dynamic. It wasn't a podcast no more. Yeah. And then I kind of lost the heart of doing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:18 You know? Yeah. So because it wasn't, it didn't feel fluent. Right. You know? But with this, because we all, we all got that relationship, it's like y'all guys. Yeah. You got a real relationship, so it's easy to kick it.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Yeah. So who's on your podcast? Who's with you? Me, Jim Jones. Right. Fabulous. Okay. And Dave.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Yeah. That's all. Because we had them all, and he was talking about doing the podcast. Right, so all four of us. So let me ask you a question. So what do you guys? You got mainly music. You talk sports.
Starting point is 00:38:47 What do you guys? No, we talk life, man. We talk fatherhood. We talk what it is, the balance, you know, life being in the industry, you know, and just topics of life. Right. You know, we can't just keep it. Just music. Everybody's not going to relate to that.
Starting point is 00:39:00 How often are you guys? How often do you shoot the pod? We shoot every week. Every week. Once a week. And we drop it once a week. When it comes to music, the state of the music industry today, what's your thoughts on it as opposed to what it was, let's say, when you first started doing. Talking rap.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Yeah, rap. To where it is not special no more. Right? So everybody's our artists. So it's not something, you know, that's looked at it's so obtainable that it's like out of reach, right? So when I was trying to get on, I was like, man, getting on alone, just getting a record deal alone. You felt like you just hit the pros. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 00:39:36 You just got a deal. Like, you just went to the NFL or the NBA. But now it's just that you could just have Pro Tools. You can go on your mama basement. You can make records. You can go upload it on YouTube. It's just not special, you know? It's the quantity.
Starting point is 00:39:51 It's so much of it, you know, compared to being real quality rap music. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that what's happened? Is that what diluted it down? I mean, you got every, you got more rappers than people on earth. Everybody to rap with that. You got more rappers than people on earth. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Every time I turn around, and to know, disrespect to nobody, because I get it, we all had a dream and we were trying to fight our way out of something, whether it was street life or, you know, prison life, whatever it is. Like, we was trying to make something. And, you know, everybody's still trying to make it,
Starting point is 00:40:25 but the game is just not as special as it felt anymore. Like, when he'd be like, I'm a rapper, I'm like, you know what, I'm a little bit more than just that. Right. You know? Right. So what happened to the game? What happened to rap?
Starting point is 00:40:38 Somebody, I've heard Keith Sweb was talking. He said the reason why R&B is not special because all you do is courage. See, R&B was supposed to be, I think he said like four players. And now you're getting straight to it. He's a, ain't no build. Ain't no buildup.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Ain't no buildup. Ain't no buildup. It's straight to it. So, I mean, the music is, the music is supposed. The music is supposed to be the soundtrack of our lives. Yes. Right? It's supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Right. So if you're going through something, you're supposed to have something to go with that. Right. If you want a party, you're supposed to be something to go with that. Right. So when you had Pock in them,
Starting point is 00:41:16 you had music that kind of that you, it wasn't about clubbing all the time. It was about, like, something that you felt. Right. Something that you related to. Something that you, you know, some inspiration made you think. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Now it's like, if you don't got a party song, then. Yeah. And if you ain't going viral, But then what? What we're doing? Yeah, well, nobody wasn't talking about no bottle service. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Not that I think about it, you think about rap from the 80s. You think about rap from the 90s. Even the early 2000s, everyone had a story to tell. It was a great story. Right, right, right, right, right. That's how they grab you first. Right, right, right, right. And I'm about just talk about one song.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Right. You have some artists that have not quantity when it comes to music, but quality. Yeah. Because you want to hear what story they have to tell based on life experiences. Because we tapped into those artists a lot. a lot more. You got a chance to actually know who those artists are.
Starting point is 00:42:06 So the industry is not they're not building stars no more. Right. Right. So there's so many artists right now that you're like, I don't know who this guy is. Correct.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And everywhere you go, personal trip, business trip, there's rappers. Yeah. Right? And somebody might tap and say, Shannon, you know who that is? You're like, I don't know who the hell out of it.
Starting point is 00:42:24 This is what I'm trying to tell you. Right. So there's more rappers than people on the planet. So it's just not that special as it used to be, man, you know. But I respect the game because it gave us the opportunity to be here. Right. You know, if it wasn't for, you know, music and the opportunity to do music and see the world,
Starting point is 00:42:43 then, you know, I wouldn't be here talking to y'all now. What happened to the storyteller? You know, when rap first originated, it was storytellers. Slick, Slick, yeah. You had BD. He's going to be joining us a little bit. Oh, yeah, Big Daddy K. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:42:57 EPMD. EPMD. Yeah. You had Rock Hill. Mark him. K.R. Maybe. Elite storytelling.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Starface. You had guys that could really tell a story. What do those guys go with? I feel like those guys are still there. I feel like there's still guys that still make. Maybe cold. Definitely. It's the artists that do that.
Starting point is 00:43:17 But it's just so oversaturated. Right? It's just you turn on your Instagram and you're seeing so much of just over-stimulation. It's just too much. information, too many ads, too many, you know, artists selling something. So I think it's still there. I think if you look for it, I think you've got a lot of dope artists that still, you know, speak from their heart and make quality music, man.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Yeah, I think the way we consume music nowadays. Fats, microwave. Yeah, compared to back in the day, we heard on the radio, MTV or BET or the box or whatever the case may be now. Like you say, we consume so much. You're not even asking for it. I'm not even asking for it. But the thing is, you see what you said, like, you would discover music on the radio, right?
Starting point is 00:44:09 And then you would discover it maybe if you went outside. Yeah. Right. But now it's just like, it's on this device. Hand-held device. Yeah. And the device is everything. We can move it differently.
Starting point is 00:44:19 And it's so fast. We don't get, like, we would, remember artists was dropping albums two years. Yeah. They drop an album and then tour. tour, put out videos, and in another two years, they'll drop another album. Now you got to drop it every 90 days. It's recorded. The only thing, the only way you could consume music back then was in your car or at home.
Starting point is 00:44:41 That's right. There wasn't no phone. There was no phone. Right. And you wait, you're like, oh, man, hey, bro, I just got that. You could wait to pull that paper out there and put, punch that eight track in or put that seat up or the 45, you know, the 45, you know, the 45 put the pin it down. So the thing went back, hey, man, we're still scratching my record.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Right, right, right. Those were the day. It's different. And you know what? We get that a lot with athletes because we compare today's athletes. Say, man, I remember back in the day and the same thing than 80s. And I know they get that. You guys get that a lot.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Yes. What is it fair to compare? No. Because it's a different time. Yes. And the dynamic is different. Yes. Society is different.
Starting point is 00:45:24 The environment is different. And the way we look at things, the way we look at sports. the way we listen to music. Yes. So is it fair to compare? No, it's not fair. And the thing, you know, the biggest thing is, is that now athletes have something to compare. They look at these guys.
Starting point is 00:45:38 These guys are talented. The rappers now have broader vocabulars and they are able to rap about more things than those guys wrapped about back in the day. It's just, it's called evolution. That's right. It doesn't matter. You look at whether it's a horse is or whatever the case may be. They've gotten better over time.
Starting point is 00:45:55 But people just want to hold on to the. the aeromano. I ain't that's right. It's like that common conversation of LeBron Georgia.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yeah. Right? This is what we're talking about, right? So, Mike with legacy, right, in a shorter amount of time.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah. LeBron with a longer career, you know, who's right, who's wrong? Right. It's just what you like.
Starting point is 00:46:20 And the people, people are not going to let go because Michael made the shoe. People used to wear shoes. just to the court. That's the only time you wore a basketball shoes. You didn't wear a basketball shoes going to class or going to a club.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Right. You wore a basketball shoe. You was pooping. He made it to where we went outside. Yes. It was fashionable. Once entertainers started wearing it, it was a rap. And they started putting them in movies, guys dressing up with sneakers on. That's when we're going to another level. But look how the kids wasn't even born.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Go crazy. Go crazy. Yeah. That wasn't even born when these shoes. came out. Nope. He's born in the 2000s. It's like, I got the Jordan.
Starting point is 00:47:02 It's like, you know what I mean? I mean? You remember, man, oh, your mom and your grandma, like, boy, I ain't paying no $40 for no shoes. And then Jordan came out. I was $100. No way. No way.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Boy, you had to work so hard and so low to get $100 for a shoe. Yeah, $100. Do you realize how much $100 was back in $19? That's right. That's like, yeah, $500 now, right? That was 40 years ago. Yeah. and people were lined up
Starting point is 00:47:28 every once in a while you see it now, but mainly it's with a specialty shoe. This was a mass-produced shoe and people would lined up miles just to get it. So is that a, you know, is that, does that say something about his greatness?
Starting point is 00:47:45 Oh, yeah, absolutely. He had to be great. His legacy is a good. Because who, no other shoe in the history of what else? And when people had, and when athletes had shoe, When they retired, they stop making the shoe.
Starting point is 00:47:58 You look at the weapons. The weapons, bird and... The Converse. They stopped making it. The Dr. Jay Converse. They stopped making it. Corrine had the top 10 of Jesus. They stopped making them. You know, everybody at first, we were in the Chuck Taylor's. And then the Chuck Taylor's kind of went away because
Starting point is 00:48:14 the technology with Nike with the technology. Jordan was the first athlete that once he retired, he was more, his shoe became more popular once he retired than when he played. And it's like it's everlasting. Never gonna stop. It was so iconic, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:28 So iconic. And the funny thing about it is, the shoe, he's coming here, and the shoes continue to recycle. Yep. Yes. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:38 This is what I'm saying. It's still a line. And it's the classics. Yeah. The ones, two, fours. You know what changed it? The Concord.
Starting point is 00:48:49 When he came out with that black and white pat level, and then the brands came out in 96, it was over. And then guess what? He came out with the cool grade. Was he came out with a pat-leather shoe? It was a rap.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Wow. It was over. So, so not only is he the most iconic player of all the time. His sneaker is the most iconic. Yes. Safe to say. They can't top it. They can't top it.
Starting point is 00:49:16 It's safe to say. Nobody's ever touching that. Nobody's ever touching that. You know what it's like? It's like Michael Jordan. You can say somebody has more talent, but you will never see a artist. Do what Mike. did. People fell out. Mike just came on stage and stood there for 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:49:33 People passed out. Didn't even... Yes, Michael MJ. Wow. Don't repeat it. Because it was special then because we didn't have this device in our hand. We didn't see everything. Yeah. It was too much access we got right now because it was a mystique to to the people that we, you know, looked up to the stars and superstars. And when you really saw them, it. It meant something. Right. Because you weren't seeing them on social media. If you ever was somewhere, that's Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Yeah. That's Michael Jordan. The only time you saw him was on the court. Yeah. First time I seen Big Daddy King pulled up on my block and the Bovo, the white Volvo. Tell him I told you, outside with just cables on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Oh, God, this game. Because we wasn't seeing them. Yeah. Special. Yeah. Special. D.D.K. With that guy.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah. With the high top. Yeah. Yeah. He was the fuck guy with a suit. And I feel like he was the first to kind of like start doing brand stuff. Yeah, he was. He modeled with Madonna.
Starting point is 00:50:36 This is what I'm saying. Stuff that people would be crucified back then. Yeah. We're doing it now. Yeah. Yeah. To broaden your horizons. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:45 We'll get him in here. Mato. Hey. Appreciate you, bro. Appreciate you. Yeah, sir. Love. That's my dog.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Meadow. Good to see you. Yeah. Appreciate you, bro. That's our love. Kay, that's the bad. That's the... What's up, baby?
Starting point is 00:51:04 OG, triple OG. Again. BDK. Hey, Kay, talk to us. I mean, this is your... This is where it all started. And you and I had the conversation when you was on Club Shay-Shay,
Starting point is 00:51:18 and you was talking about Brooklyn, Bronx, buggy BDP, you guys, the Jews crew, All-Stars, and all you guys. Talk to us about that because you said, man, I just wanted to rap.
Starting point is 00:51:31 I thought I had a talent, and I just wanted to showcase that talent. Tell us, give our audience a little bit of how you got started in the rap game. Well, yeah, basically, I started doing it because my older cousin was doing it. Okay. And when people in the neighborhood was telling me that I was good at it, I stuck with it. And my whole goal and objective was really just to be the best MC in the neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Okay. You know, I'm going to different projects, you know, in Brooklyn. battling people, things of that nature, trying to take out whoever the best MC in this project is, who are the best MC in this high school is. And that was really all I could see until I met
Starting point is 00:52:11 Biz. When I met Biz, and I met Biz when I asked him for a battle. Right. And then he told me that he'd be doing shows and asked me to get down with him. Right. And then from that point, the rest was history. We were talking to Mano, and when you and I talked, we were talking about the storytellers.
Starting point is 00:52:28 You were one of the first storytellers. A rock him storyteller. Slick Rick. Slick Rick. Slick Rick. Slick Rick. Well, Grand Master Cairds is the first storyteller. But Slick Rick is the one that's really patterned it and set of standards.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Yeah. Here's a little story not long ago. Yeah. Well, I mean, even before that, you know, lotti-doddy. Lottie, dottie. Lottie, you like the potty. And by the girl on the show to Me, Shell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Will we ever see rap as it once was, the rap that you know, the rap that you grew up with, the rap that in, you know, 10 years when you were in, will we ever see that era again? That all depends on radio and media.
Starting point is 00:53:16 It all depends on radio and media because I see it every day. It's here right now. When you look at Lady London, when you look at Conway the Machine, Benny the Butcher. There's artists right now that's doing. what we did in the 80s, what artists did in the 90s, they're just not really getting the exposure. They're not commercialized. So it's gonna really be up to radio and the media,
Starting point is 00:53:37 but they are here right now. Right. You know what I think, honestly? And that's a good question that you just asked. Will music ever be like it was in the 80s and 90s? Look at fashion. Fast is now, history repeats itself. And now we're back wearing baggy clothes. We do we're doing bell bottle.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah, bell bottom. We're doing some of stuff we did in the 80s. Well, I ain't go back to the baggie yet. No, you didn't. Not yet? Not yet. Okay, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:00 You ain't going back to the bell bottoms? Oh no, I got bellbott. Yeah, you put the bell bottle. You got a smile when you said that. Yeah, I got a few of those. I got you. You know, that's really 70s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:10 I couldn't wait for that to come back. Yeah. That polly up the bell bottom. No, since 98, I've been sitting patiently waiting for the bell bottom. Yeah, I think music will evolve at some point, the same way fashion as, the same way everything has in general. Right. Where again, we will have the quality of emcees and lyricists that we're used to
Starting point is 00:54:28 hearing instead of, I hate to use the word mumble rap, but at times I don't understand what people are saying. I just don't. I'm just going to be honest. And we're going to get back to our lyricists being more commercialized and sought after and being on, you know, at the top of the hill. Yeah. But even with radio played BDK. Let me add on to that
Starting point is 00:54:44 one second. But like I was saying, it's here. Yeah. Right. Right. It just has to be presented mainstream. Right. Because think about it. Now, when you talk about back then, when it was lyrical, Yes. We also had,
Starting point is 00:54:58 Izzy, missu, kizzle, whizzle, you know what I'm saying? So we had mumble rap too. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay. You know, but I mean, you know, it's like, I just think that it's a matter of the media and radio, making it the forefront.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Right. We were just talking about, you were one of the first ones to rap and have a suit on. Like, what did your fashion for design come from growing up? Like, what made you get up and, you know, want to rap
Starting point is 00:55:22 and be decked out like that? Well, my father, you know, he was addressing. My father, you know, he had mink and rabbit coats. He wore like the Gators and the Pierre Cardan shoes. Yeah. You know, like, that's, I didn't even know that there was a such thing as a four-piece suit. You know, I saw my father, you know, put the wears on.
Starting point is 00:55:41 You know, the pants, the vest, the blazer, and the duster. You know, I didn't know there was a such thing as a four-piece suit. So, you know, as a little kid, you know, my pops go to work, and I put one of his suits on the stand in front of the mirror and try to sing Marvin Gayle, let's get it on. Yeah. So I was attracted to that fashion from childhood. Oh, okay. But Marvin was a guy, Marvin Gay, Sam Cook, dressed on stage.
Starting point is 00:56:04 But it was different. They weren't rap, but they were singer. There was crooners. But you were talking about the commercialization and getting back to produce some music. But when we actually get into our cars now, do we still consume music the same way, or do we go to a specific station
Starting point is 00:56:23 to listen to a specific genre of music? Because when I get in, all I listen to is the grooves. All I want to go to. We, who? Me, us, you. I mean, you actually listen to the radio? Well, we're 50 plus. That's all I'm asking.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Who you referring to? Do you think young, like 20s? No. No. Because, you know, I have a 13-year-old son. And when I let him control the radio, yeah, he's a DJ. It's like, we listen into this.
Starting point is 00:56:54 That song go off. He turns to a little. another station. That go off. He turned to another station. That go off. He switched to media and put his phone on. Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah, he just all over the place. So it's really hard because, you know, man, we turned to our favorite station with our hour 93.1. And they just hit. You just, you just jam it. And you really- tell you something. And I really talk about this because I know people will clown me for it. Right. But, bro, right now in 20-26, I still have an iPod in my car. It still work?
Starting point is 00:57:30 Do it still work? Let me explain something to you. I mean, but the car, the car, obviously. No, no, no, listen, all you got to do is just lightning to USBC. Oh, yeah, you got to have a core. Yeah, okay, okay. USBC into the car and then the lightning into the iPod. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:45 And I was sit in my house and put together a nine-hour playlist and drive from North Carolina to New York, listening to that one playlist. Right, yeah. Yeah. So right now I have WBDK in my car, my own radio station. You understand? Kay, we talked about, like, when we, that was cool.
Starting point is 00:58:06 It was cool to go to the LaMond and pop shop, put the record on, put the hip on, on, you can listen to it. Oh, yeah. And you know what I'm saying? It was something special about that. The incense were burning, and you know, hey, make me an eight track. Yeah. And so you get all your favorites, put them on that eight track.
Starting point is 00:58:23 You're good to go. Then it came to CD. I missed that. There are no more Tile records. Yeah, they do have a couple of mommy shops when you go thumb through, because there was something to go thumb through those those and look at the 45s.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Yeah, yeah, go crate digging. Yeah, I used to, I used to, don't forget about the jukebox. The jukebox? Go on somewhere as the jukebox. Those we used to do in the diner. Yes, yes. Like after the club, you're in the diner.
Starting point is 00:58:45 You put money in the jukebox. Put a water in that thing, you play. Yeah. The mom and pop shop. You miss those days, Kay? Absolutely, absolutely, because, you know, they focused on a lot of new talent, not just, you know, what was mainstream on the radio. You can learn about new R&B artists, new rap arts, you know, from the mom and pop stores.
Starting point is 00:59:09 You know, artists that weren't, didn't have the record stands at the Sam goodies or the coconuts. Yep, yeah. You know what I miss the most? And this generation will never know. Soul train. Soul trade. introduce you to more artists than any other
Starting point is 00:59:27 Soul Train and American Bandstand. And everybody would run home because you know at 12 o'clock or 1 o'clock so then hit this trip in America. Oh yeah, nah. It was beautiful, man. I mean, I used to love watching Soul Train and the Soul Train line.
Starting point is 00:59:49 See in the Scrabbleboard. You know, even though the Scrabble Boat was always easy to figure out. but still just to see it. You know, I mean, that and hearing all the music because you had artists performing their hits, but the dancers throughout the episode was dancing to a lot of B-side cuts
Starting point is 01:00:04 that you may have never heard. So it was introducing you, you know. And to see those artists get up there, whether it was very wide or Terry Pendergrapher, Harold Melvin and the blue nose, the stylistic, I mean, it was just like, but I do know this. The big bands, they're not coming back. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Let me ask you this. And this is what I came, and I wanted to ask you this. You remember when the duets, you had Rufus and Shaka. You had Peaches and Herds. You had Renee and Angela. You had Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergraf. You had fire and ice. Tina Marie and Rick James.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Oh, my goodness. We ain't never getting that back. Will we ever see Duo's peer like that again? I would hope so. I think that something like that may happen for a project. Yeah. Not as a group that want to, you know, make a career of it. But I think something like that may happen as a project.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Yeah. You know, Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell. I mean, Barry White. Glodyne? Yeah. Barry and Glodyne, yeah. Their song together, you is one of my favorites. The funny thing about it is everything you just named, Ohio players, the IASY brothers,
Starting point is 01:01:18 the sound of music has evolved to where those that, that even have the ability to sing in those groups. Don't even sound like that. Or the music they make, it sounds nothing like it did back then. Yeah, I still go. Like, that music is timeless. Yeah. In any era, you're going to be able to listen to it.
Starting point is 01:01:35 That big band in the 70s when you had the Ohio players, you had Earth Wind and Fire, you had Casey and the Sunshine Band, you had the barcades, you had Lakeside, you had the stylistic. That's, man. Oh, yeah. You had the Commodores. Before Lionel winner, you had LTD.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Before he, what was the guy? What was the lead singer, LTD? Jeffrey Osborne. Jeffrey. Before he left. Oh, that's classic. Well, you know, I grew up listening to a lot of that real deep soul. So, like, you know, a lot of my favorite singers were like, you know, Marvin Gay, David Ruffin.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Yeah, okay, okay. Willie Hutch. Okay. Bobby Womack. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, Wilson Pickett.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Yep. You know, I love those raspy voices, you know. Yeah. Those guys, and like you said, I don't know if we're ever going to see the duet, like you said, maybe for a project. Yeah, for a project. But it used to be the hero Stephanie Mills and Marvin Gaye. You mean Ted and Pendergrapher.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Teddy Pendergast and Stephanie Mills. And she this big and voice. Was this be? Powerful. Oh, my goodness. I need to see her in concert. I really need to see her concert. No, she tears it down.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Oh, yeah. Like, certain artists from that era right now still tear. Stephanie Mills, Evelyn Champaign, Sheila E. Shane. Shillet, nice. They're cutting up to this day. Just this day. Like, let me tell you something, man.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Back in 1987, there was a club called the Red Parrot in New York. I had a show there with Evelyn Champagne King. And they wanted... Don't lose your love. The promoter and my manager wanted me to close the show. Okay. The promoter. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Evelyn Champagne King manager wanted her to close. So I just happened to come to sound chain. And I'm like Evelyn Champaign King is a legend, man. I don't want to go on after her. Right. And I'll pay homage. She need to close. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Nope. I'm glad I did that. Yeah. Brough? When I tell you, dancing, then just left the microphone, started shaking the tambourine, playing the bongos and all.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Like, yeah, she got busy. Man, busy. Those, uh, Rose Royce was another group. No, those were, and, you know, you wait, you go home because you didn't know who was going to be on Soul. It's just not like now they would promote it. Yeah. You just watch Soul Train.
Starting point is 01:04:12 And then everything was a surprise. Who came was who came? Yeah. And, boy, you were just by that TV like, and especially the episodes when Dawn opened up the mic. and let you sing for real. What? You're doing with that long stick, Mike?
Starting point is 01:04:25 No, I mean, like, you know, most people's lip syncing. Okay, no, no, no. So when he opened up the mic for people like Stevie Wanda, Minnie Rippleton, James Brown, let them sing for real. When Mitter Rivers said, loving you, that's my root-up mother. Loving you. It's easy. Those women have voices.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Tina Marie. Legend. Ain't nobody knew she was white. Boy, somebody, oh, she's white. Let's get out of my faith. That woman ain't white. Saying it like that. Not singing that's a lot.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Yeah, that one was hard to believe. But yeah, she was a serious soul sick. Yeah. Gina was the truth, man. Rest and peace. What is, Kay, what is it about women that soul? Because most of these women were tiny, tiny women. Huge voices.
Starting point is 01:05:08 With huge, huge voices. What is about a voice in that, in that frame? I mean, I don't know. I mean, you know, I can't really explain, you know, their anatomy. but I mean I would assume that church had a lot to do. Yes. Yes. You know, I'd assume the church had a lot.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Especially you think about Fantasia. Yes. Jennifer Hudson. Yes. But all those, you know, Aretha Franklin, all those women came, glad this night. All those women came. Whitney came to church background. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:42 No, man, listen, Fantasia made me moving my seat, man. I had to catch myself, man. I'm serious. We was doing a Patty LaBelle tribute. some years ago. Oh, Patty knows she could sleep. And Fantasia started blowing, and I caught my son. I'm like, no, no, I'm not going to have me doing that.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Like, I was sitting there squirming in the seat. Like, no. She can go down. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know who else? Throw this out there, one of the best voices of all time, all time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Kiki Wyatt. Oh, Kiki Wyatt is amazing. Yeah. She's amazing. I mean, there's so many, um, You know, young singers today with, you know, spectacular voices. Fantasia Kiki White, Jennifer Hudson, Leila James. Jasmine Sullivan.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Jasmine Sullivan. Yeah, yeah, this is a lot of them out of it. You still get excited to hear new music like you did when you first got into it? Absolutely. Because of, like, what you were saying, like, you know, how it is today. You know, like a lot of people, you know, whenever, where most people like singing in auto tunes. And they don't really, you know, a lot of people that blowing ain't really in style no more.
Starting point is 01:06:50 So when I do see a young artist doing something like that, like I'm amazed. I gravitate to it, you know. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I had T. Payne on. And I didn't know T. Payne could really, really sing. Me neither.
Starting point is 01:07:03 I didn't know T. Payne could really, really sing. I mean, as far as rappers, he and Celo Green. Sele Green can. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, and he said, I said, well, I say, I say, I say, I say, uh, pain.
Starting point is 01:07:15 You got a voice. You can really, really sing. He said, but there ain't nobody paying for that. he said they're paying for this he said I had to give them what they wanted yes I mean when you you go back and listen to some of his covers
Starting point is 01:07:30 that he's done he did the Sam Cook version he did Sam Smith version now I listened to that whole last that last project he put out that's amazing I like you said I didn't know he could blow like that yeah he can get down
Starting point is 01:07:45 BDK the legend Big Daddy Kane Bro appreciate man, all the best. Thank you, good to see you. Good to see you. All right.
Starting point is 01:07:52 I'm saying. Good to see you. Big Denny Kaine. Love for you. Man, it's always like when you grow up and you meet these guys. I mean, I grew up with Big Denny Kaine. That's my era. You too.
Starting point is 01:08:06 That's my, that's my era. And to see him and to rock him and the slick ricks and all those guys that, you know, obviously have a relationship with Scarface. Those storytellers, you know. It's kind of like in the comedic world, you look at Dick Gregory really was the first one, and then you had a Cosby, and then you had Richard Pryor, and now you got Chappelle, George Carlin, Louis C.K., Bill Burr, someone like that, guys that not only make you laugh, but they make you think, and they talk about things that actually happen in society.
Starting point is 01:08:42 And right now, you know, Chappelle is at the top of that list. And when you had guys like BDK and these other guys that could tell you a story and make you think, You're like, okay. And they rap in such a catap, like you said, you could understand. After I heard about three or four times, hey, I know exactly when they say, hey, I bring that back. Go word. Go word. Go word.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Some of these guys, I listen to a thousand times. I still couldn't tell you what you say. That's because what they're talking about is not relatable. Right, you're right. It's not relatable to you. You know what I mean? What the old dudes talking about back in the day, you can understand you can relate. How they don't.
Starting point is 01:09:17 We don't. I don't age down, I don't phase out of whatever the case may be, but it's not the same anymore. Yeah. Man, we were talking about if we went into a room, we're all police officers, federal agents, and we walk into a room, $20 million on the table, us three. I mean, we can go ahead, hold on, matter of fact, let me help the people get y'all some visuals. Yeah, go bring that, prop.

Starting point is 01:10:08 Break a couple more. It's stacks. What's up, baby? You're good? Good to see you. Talk to me. Go ahead and lead it off, bro. The money right there.
Starting point is 01:10:23 We're going to read it off. We're going to hypothetically. We're police officers. Okay. We walk into a room and there's $20 million in unmarked currency. It's sitting right there on the table. It's sitting right there. It's sitting right here.
Starting point is 01:10:34 There go. Right there. And nobody called it in. No, nobody called it in. No cameras. No cameras. We walk in there together. Yep.
Starting point is 01:10:41 20 million. Okay. Unmarked bill. So they're non-sequential because that gets your trouble. We've got to be careful with that next question. But anyway, so we walk into the room. What's our next place? We could take turning something, right?
Starting point is 01:10:59 There's going to be someone. I'm saying you can push you. This men are going to get us, go get us better a time. Yo, no. 20 will get you knocked, right? Five. Hold on. You got to think about it.
Starting point is 01:11:09 They sent us. They sent us folks to go see if there's something in there, right? Yes. There are no cameras. No. So all we have is each other. Yes. Your word.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Your trust. You trust in me. If it's 20 me in there, we're taking the whole 20. We're splitting it five. Oh, no. I'm good. I'm out. I'm out.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I'm out. I got to go. I'm going No, sir. So we turn in 15 and we split 5. No, no, no, we turn it in 5. We turn it in 5. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:42 That makes me a little more comfortable. Yeah, but yeah, you can't. We're going to be on the surveillance for a minute, though. If we turn in 5, they're going to be wondering. Hold on. That's it. Was it a little more than that? No.
Starting point is 01:11:55 That's why we do. No, it wasn't. This is everything we got, boss. And we got to, because, you know, I'm, I'm 10 years away from retirement, but now I'm 10 months away from retirement. So I'm going to have to live on a police picture. Yeah. And I don't know how much police picture is.
Starting point is 01:12:14 If you see it in from retirement and it's turning into 10 months, oh, yeah, they're going to investigate it. And we don't know where the money comes from. We don't know who's it. No, we don't know who it is. We just know it's not ours. who is unimportant at this point in time. Y'all making all the money, it could be yours.
Starting point is 01:12:30 You might have, both y'all, y'all got so much coming in, you might have left some. No, but we're police officers. We forgot. We police officers. We police officers. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I think, I think three, three point seven per, I think we can make that work.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Now what we got to do is we got to hope one person out of the group just don't go haywire and go to doing something. I didn't got no business. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because once one person, they're going to be on all of us because they just sent all of now. They see Ocho don't bought them a brand new house and all that.
Starting point is 01:13:01 I'm going. I live in Dubai now. I'm out of here. Oh, yeah, we're in trouble. We're in trouble. We're in trouble. Guys, I'm out. We're in trouble.

Starting point is 01:13:41 It's good to see my family. It's good to see you as well. We're talking to hypothetical because of the movie, the rip with Ben Affleck, Matt Dane, Tiana Taylor. And they go into a room. there's $20 million in cash and there are police officers. How much do you take?
Starting point is 01:13:58 How much do you keep? Do you take it all? Do you? And, you know, I understand, you know, people like, man, they dirty. Bro, $20 million. $20 million. It's about changing your life. That's life-changing money. That's life-altering money that you would never have the opportunity to make or let alone earn.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Yeah. This is about whatever I owe you. Take it right about it down. I'm going to be honest. I'm going to be honest. That's 50,000. So can you imagine 20 million just like this? You can't imagine that.
Starting point is 01:14:34 One thing I've learned is that nothing is for free. Everything comes right? Everything comes with a price. Come on now. So, I mean, if it's there, I understand maybe you, you know, you carve out a little something, but you got to watch out getting too greedy. Yeah. That's why we turn it in five million.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Yeah. If we were greedy, we take it all. But you know, hey, you know, I got to get my 10%. I got to give 10% over time. Because if I get 10% at one time, they're going to know something. They're going to know something up. But, yeah, but I definitely, you know, break the church off. Mount Zion Missionary Number World Baptist Church.
