And I'm gonna try to make you drink.

I'm gonna be honest. I know you're not. No drink for me. And listen, we should just start up with the flowers off rip. Off the rip, man. Off rip, we got these flowers at. Off rip. We want to get...

All right. You want to get... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Snoop dogs. That's better than the Grammy because it's one of your people.

That's right. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Right. So I'm not going to lie to you, man. That's imperative. Thank you. You are one of the guys. Jesus, man. It's the little.

Through an iceberg. Yo. Great sound effects. Can I get a beer? Can somebody give me a beer? I'll do some Santa Margaret. But I'm going to be honest with you, brother. I look up to you.

Which man. And. let me tell you why I look up to you oh gladio I said I was playing but I was like it I do sorry yeah

but I'm not I'm gonna be honest with you bro I watch you on the breakfast club I watch you on so many different interviews and you really seem unbothered by life and I

admire that in so many ways because You sit there And I know you bothered By the way Listen, because I'm a human I'm a human

That's what you just said Okay But you never like Seeing bothered In the public And that is something that I'm not only admire I honor that

How do you develop that shit Man Like, because that's not, that's not normal, bro. It's got to be experienced. Yes. Well, it is experience, but it also is that I'm just not partial and I don't subscribe maybe to most of the perspectives that people ingest. You know what I'm saying? Like, to a degree, you want to feel life's experience.

So I guess being bothered is allowing yourself to feel defeated. I guess it's allowing yourself to feel maybe that you got taken advantage of. I think that that is the art of being unbothered, is actually dealing with your emotions first. So being unbothered. You're Dominican ice. I feel like that's Dominican ice over there. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I say all of that to say that. being unbothered is not shying away from your, your experience, especially the things that make you uncomfortable. It's actually about meeting it and facing it before the aftermath of those emotions control you. And for me, I just never been a person that allows myself to be. subjected to other people's viewpoints without real fact or knowledge. So what you're drinking? Oh, this is wine. Oh, okay.

Do you want some wine? No, no, I'm good. Get some wine. No, I'm cool. Get some wine. I heard you fast in this shit like that. No, I'm straight on the water. But that's what being unbothered is, long story short.

Honestly, what's the had your phone? number when like just to talk to you because the fact that you seem unfazed yeah anything that you was going through right I admire that so much thank and I can look in your face and tell that you were really unfazed like yeah me I would I would be lying about it like I was being your per same position right right and I'm like, all right, I'm not feeling that. You, I felt like you wasn't feeling that, but you were, like, actually not feeling that,

and it was cool. That shit is crazy to me. No, no, that shit is crazy to me. Like, is that something that you, you, how does you develop that? I think you develop it in disappointment. You know, I think you develop it and, you know, maybe you're not completely being aligned with the universe and you kind of

like creating your own story of how you think things should happen, you know what I'm saying? I think you develop it and just understanding that the rhythm of life is like a wave, you know what I'm saying? It's like you've got to catch the wave. You know what I'm saying?

Like you can't, you know. Domenica. Go ahead, go ahead. You can get that. You go ahead. Yo, man, this Dominican ice is crazy. Go on. Yeah, but continue. I'm sorry.

But yeah. Yeah. Because, let's just be clear. I did love and hip hop. Uh-huh. I love loving hip-hop. They kicked me out. Because I didn't bring no drama.

So when I didn't bring no drama, they were like, yo, Normie, they tried to start drama with my wife. Right. And Ace Hood wife. Yeah. And. then Ray J came to me and Ray J was like

you got to you got to step it up and I was like what what the fuck Ray J? Like this is my nigga like this is my name straight up but Ray J didn't call you out

he called every other R&V singer out he was ready he wasn't ready for this shout out Ray J he called who the fuck did he call out um uh tank yeah he called out but he he didn't say a marion what wow um he know you spoke him out

i'm not no you know what um you know we were just on tour together with ray jay yeah uh ray jay and uh pleasure and uh all the rest of the guys we were on tour and plus the p yeah and um out of everybody on the tour we would bump into each other the like on the way to stage and stuff like that. Because, you know, backstage, you know, everybody's kind of in their own world, you know what I mean? So I think it's a, it's just a respect, you know what I mean? I think you're a rinket. No, no, I think it's a mutual respect, you know what I'm saying?

It's a mutual respect. Because, I mean, if you think about it, right, if I ask you about Jay, you know what I'm saying? Jay Z? Yeah, if I ask you about. Yeah. Oh. I smoke. I'm just playing.

Okay. He's going to text me. He's going to check with me. I'm sorry. But yeah, it's just a mutual respect. That's all, you know what I'm saying? And we both are the home team. We got love.

We got love for each other. And him and my brother actually did college hill and graduated together. You know I'm supposed to do college hill? Oh, where? I swear to God, I'm supposed to do college hill. And I did something else. But college hill, the second season, not the first season. Right.

Yeah. So, um, versus. Okay. Would you want to do verses again? Um, I'm not sure. I'll tell you why I'm not sure. Okay, tell us. Because when we're talking about R&B music, you know,

um, this, this wonderful music, it's so many R&B fans. There's so many variations of R&B. So I'm not the type of person that looks at the scope and say, you know, I'm better than this person or this person is better than me in this specific category. I don't have those kind of conversations. I feel like the space is big enough for everyone to thrive. You know what I'm saying? That's just my perspective. Now, everybody else doesn't have that perspective.

Everybody else is competing, you know what I'm saying? like it's a sport. And really, you know, it is a sport in a way, in a type of way. But in another way, it's not, you know, it's literally some of our journeys, you know what I'm saying? Maybe not to, you know, have the same things that this person has, like the difference between Prince and Mike. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know. This is a famous conversation on the show.

Yeah. Yes. Go ahead. Let's have it. Yeah. I'm saying that they're here for two different purposes. purposes and they exist and co-exist at the same time. And both be iconic.

Yeah, both iconic. And they own time because it's based off of the work that they did. Right. You know what I mean? We all have these like little pockets, you know, where we're peeking and then we're transitioning, you know what I'm saying? Right. It's like who's staying on the longest is the real conversation.

Who's doing the most? Consistency. Yeah. And then also there's artists that have their own niche. you know what I'm saying so and they're very successful at that I think Tyler the creator is one of them you know I'm saying like Tyler the creator is my man who could really compete with Tyler the Creator you know he's no one can compete with Tyler the Creator that's right exactly and he does what he wants to do mm-hmm that's the true mark of an artist

not someone to be compared to someone else great you know I think that people do that so that's how I feel about that you know saying you don't want to be if it's a celebration It is a celebration. It should always be inversions. It's like, let me pick up to Timberland and Swiss B's because they turned it into a celebration to me. No, they started it as a celebration. It started as a battle.

No, it started as a celebration and it became a battle. That's the way it happened. The people made it a battle. Yeah. Well, it turned into a battle. But Swiss and Tim encouraged that too. Because they encouraged that too. It helps us the rating of it.

Yes, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, that's the only reason why I said. I would be a little bit hesitant towards it because I wouldn't want to ever put myself as an artist in a compromising position, you know? And that comes in a lot of different ways that people don't realize. But there's only two people that can value you.

Okay. I'm not done. I'll just say that. I'm not done. There's only two people. Okay. Who do you think the two people is? Um, in my opinion?

Yes. In my opinion, CB and Usher. You got him to get these niggins a lot Yeah, I was behind That's it That's it

She'd be an usher for sure You know what I'm saying So Ray J, I'm just You know You're my friend You got my phone number But do not call out of Mariam

I'm just speaking out He's love He's been going hard You see him Yeah He's going on that tank He's going on that But he loves it though

And see that's what I like About Ray J too You know He's very serious But he's like funny too you know he's super funny yeah something serious could see very serious and turn to it to laughter you know what I'm saying so yeah so let's talk love and hip hop okay did you like doing love and hip hop yes and no you know for um for for for the reasons of understanding how business work and visibility

you know what I mean like I think that it worked in that sense for me you know I'm saying but as far as like in real time and in real life like you know you shoot in February and then the show comes out next year and then you know you're kind of revisiting a lot of old pain, so many things changed since then. But reality is bringing you back into a space that you already

You already live. Yeah, and it's like, are you getting paid enough for that? Are you really getting paid enough for that? You know what I'm saying? I can relate to this so much but I know that people like, I love doing love and hip-hop, right? When it's fun.

Like, it was fun and the only thing is I didn't bring drama. Right, right. So I knew there's going to fire me eventually. Like, I was like, damn, nigga. Like, they're going to let you go. Right? But in that meantime, I understood the fights.

I understood the drama. I understood. And I stood there and I watched it. For you. Because you did like five seasons, right? Uh-uh. Damn. Four?

No, I did like two. Two? Oh, shit. And you got a bottle there. Yes, sir. How many you did, three? No, they gave me one and a half and they booed me. I charged them too much.

But I will say, I do want to say, because I'm not like this in the platform or whatever. You know, I was able to utilize it for what I needed at that time. You know what I mean? So I always, for me, because I'm intentional, you know what I mean? Like, I'll never be mad at an opportunity that I'm able to be more visible to my audience and a new audience, because that's also the part of being an artist is reintroducing yourself. Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths.

Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the calls. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming.

My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot. The brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story. about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way. Listen to the Brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I just fell and started screaming. If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way.

I said through your 22 times. The police, right? But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help is the one you're the most afraid of? This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you. I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable.

Detective Roger Goloopsky spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence. This is the story of a detective. who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Galuski,

I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

some of the silliest ways folks have broken the laws. Honestly, it feels more like a high-level prank than a crime. Who catfish is a city? And meet some memorable anti-heroes. There are thousands of angry, horny monkeys. Clap if you think, she's a witch. And it freaks you out.

He has X-ray vision. How could I not follow him? Honestly, I got to follow him. He can see right through me. Listen to Crimless on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets. We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.

And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us. I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are.

Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the shade is always shady. is right here. Season 6 of the podcast Reasonably Shady with Giselle Bryan and Robin Dixon is here dropping every Monday. As two of the founding members of the Real Housewives of Potomac were giving you

all the laughs, drama, and reality news you can handle. And you know we don't hold back. So come be reasonable or shady with us each and every Monday. I was going through a walk in my neighborhood. Out of the blue I see this huge sign

next to somebody's house. Okay. The sign says my neighbor is a Karen. Oh, what? No way! I died laughing.

I'm like, I have to know you are lying. This humongous, y'all. They had some time on their hands. Listen to reasonably shady from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcast. Now, again, I want to tell you how much I admire you. I admire your unfathist. Like you, you seem unfathom, unfazed about anything that happened, right? One of your group members did something that was unfathomable, right? And you just stood there, cool, calm, and collective. I admire that, bro.

I admire the fact that you stood there and was like, that's what you want to do. That describes who you are. And we had him on the show. Yeah. We had him on the show and we let him speak. But we've never heard yesterday. side of the story.

Okay. So I would like to hear your side of the story. What was it life like when you heard that you know the question I'm asking? Damn, because I want to ask it in the most respectful way. Okay. You get the call. Uh-huh. And you're like, all right.

Fizz is running around where April, right? Uh-huh. What was that call? Like, what was that first call? Like, I'm just being honest, because I wish I had your phone number because I ain't going to lie to you. I wish you were my therapist.

I swear to God, I feel like you're a therapist. What? But how was that first phone call when you got it? Um, because I get these phone. because, I mean, I go through the same shit. We went through the same shit. The problem is it's not publicly. Yeah. You went through it publicly. So that's the reason

why, like, I really, I really wish I had your phone number as a friend. Just to call you and be like, yo, bro, hold your head. But you did that shit solid in front of the public. How was, I'm sorry to ask that. I really apologize. Yeah, no, I mean, I think to

touch on this, you know, one more time because I think it's important to also say that within that scope of that time, there has been a lot of healing, you know what I'm saying? With yourself? With myself and also with FIS and, you know, to a degree with the mother of my children. You know what I'm saying? Like I said, being unbothered is not about avoiding situations. You know, you do need time for things to settle, you know what I'm saying?

But if I could think back to what that experience was like, I had already accepted that, you know, when I'm out of a type of agreement with someone, you know, if we have a relationship and let's just say we have a silent agreement, you know, and that agreement is broken, I kind of just remove myself. You know, I remove myself in a way that is pretty. detective and that's also realistic, you know, and for me being in this industry at a very, very young age, I've seen a lot of things. I've seen a lot of people switch up. I've seen a lot of, I'm like not surprised, you know, by what my experience has been through these eyes. You know what what I'm saying? So if I could go back to that time,

if I would say I was surprised, I wasn't really surprised. I wasn't really surprised. You're one of the greatest people are.

So, you know what I mean? But again, like I said, there's been a lot of healing and, you know, I got to have a real, you know, conversation with a fist,

you know, and. Afterwards. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I mean, you know, we're about to go on tour. We're about to go on tour.

But you went on tour after that. No, it was kind of in the interim of it. It was still during it. Damn. Yeah, it still happened. There was rumors of you, like, kicking them off this story. I don't know if you knew that. They never happened.

But I ain't going to find out. I would have. Yeah. I mean, come on. You don't, you know, our thoughts are wild. You know what I'm saying? You don't think. Your B2K. I'm just saying, though, like I don't want to seem like I'm just this person as, you know,

without emotion. I feel and I think and I get a great sense of everything. You don't think I wasn't thinking like, oh, look at this. There goes an edge right there. I could just shut them off the stage. Yeah, you can talk about everything.

Thank you. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. For a while, when I saw it, I was like, oh, my God. I didn't think you was human. Like, yeah.

You know, you're saying that sentiment right now makes me feel good because because, oh, holy shit yeah i just don't act on it it's just i mean like what's the end result of that like how does that benefit me and then also what's going to happen after that you know what i'm saying am i am i ready to deal with it's like what your kids is like what your kids are you know i'm ready to deal with the consequences of that because it's going to be some consequences you know i'm saying and i just think like that so you know i say that to say that like man i don't i don't

want nobody to think that i haven't thought you know some of my thoughts my wildest thoughts you You know, I would be, I couldn't express them to everybody. You know what I'm saying? But I'm smart enough to recognize what's best for me. And I always do that. I always do that. So let's talk about. By the way, I'm getting your number.

The boy is mine. And then. I mean, she could either. do, I mean, everybody loves Beyonce. I mean, Brandy, she doesn't have to, she can do any songs she wants to do for real. But then you bring out the boys? Beat, okay.

It's the hidden. Finesse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of the greatest guy there. Tourin on Mars. Go ahead. That's what you was, like, labeled as at one point. Like the Bobby Brown, right?

Okay. Like, you kind of, you did your prerogative. What? Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. You did your paragon. My prerogative. You went, you went solo. And I believe that's where the discrepancies

from the group kind of, because you not only went solo, you went solo, and you did it. Yeah. Like, you went up. Yep, yep, and it was still under that regime. It was still under that regime. So a lot of people

don't know that. Can you explain that? Yeah, I mean, you know, when the separation happened, you know, between us and V2K, that's pretty much where things stayed. You know, the guys had other plans. and then we kind of all separated from that point. But, yeah, I was still there.

You were still there under the same machine. I was, yeah. Because for our outside of looking in, it's the inside of looking out. Yeah. It looked like you did the Bobby Brown, right? Right. I mean, in a way, yeah. In a way, yeah.

No, I did the Bobby Brown, too. Oh, okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you don't know. One million percent, but my partner went to jail. Oh, okay. So. Okay. And then I was like, Bobby Brown, nigga.

I did the same shit. How much did you want to do that solo move? Well, that actually wasn't a plan. I think that we were all lining up to do that because like our last Pentamonium album, we all had separate covers. So we were all kind of, and then I think Phyllis was about to,

yeah, Phith was about to do an album. And it was just like, yeah, yeah, it was all very natural. But the way we separate. rated didn't, you know, which I think that, you know, a big part of why the tour, you know, is going to be so profound is because we weren't, well, first of all, we started as kids. So we were already not in control to a degree of our own. Not only kids, but like boys, like little boys. Facts. Facts. So, um, you know. Almost the Jackson vibe. Yeah. So you could just imagine, you know what I'm saying? Like after, you know, um, You know, the guys kind of, you know, wanting to see a deeper look into the business and then that being kind of shunned away for the importance of control. Now, as a kid, you don't know that.

You don't know what certain moves me, you know what I'm saying? But that pretty much was, you know, that pretty much is what happened. So, no, it was never a plan for me to go solo. It was a plan for everybody to kind of do their own thing. Yeah, even though I started as a solo act before I got into the group. And I've always been an individual inside of, you know, of our brotherhood, so to speak. The three members, they were already in a group before.

Right. You know what I mean? So I was, like, kind of coming into a situation. Got it. So it felt more natural for you in that sense. Yes. And also for them, because they were more thicker thieves. You know what I'm saying?

I didn't quite understand at the time. Right. You know what I'm saying? And I relate to you a lot. You know, I'm part of- Of these sings and he dances. Very well. I'll take that.

I take that. No, as Capone and Noriega. Yeah. That's a part of a group. Uh-huh. And I was like, the lead, the lead. And I had to take the lead. My partner went to jail.

And you took the lead. Um, was there ever a burden on you? Like, when you, when you, like, said, you know, I'm going to be a Mario on that. Yeah. Not V2K. Yeah. And I had to do that same thing. So.

Yeah. No. It didn't feel like a burden. It actually felt like I was becoming, like, transforming and becoming more alive. Because, you know, at the time, like, the relationship with the boys, it wasn't cool. So it was like, it was more of a reason to go hard. It was more of a reason. You know, so it was like an inspiration in a way. You know, in a way that, I guess, when you're challenged, you know, I mean, you want to arise to the occasion. It was fueling you. Yeah. So it definitely was fueling me. You know what I'm saying? You have no idea. Like, I know everyone else here probably can't, like, as much as I am relating to you. Right. It's because I was forced to be a solo artist.

Oh, okay. And I feel like you were, too. Uh-huh. I feel like I was forced to be a solo artist because he went to jail, and you was forced to be a solo artist because it was just your time. Mm-hmm. And you were the prince of the Michael Jackson of that fucking generation. And you had to do that. So who was the decision was that to take?

You go. It was the management. Yep. It pretty much was like just a conversation. And it was just like, yeah, well, y'all do your thing. We take an O. And I was like, oh, okay. Right.

And we take it all. Yeah. And then we was out. And then I remember that next week. You know, we was just on a radio going back and forth, man. And it's just so crazy our journey. I can't wait to make a movie. When you say back and forth, you're saying what the group?

Yeah, it was like. Because the group didn't know you was going on solo? Well, no, I think that once that kind of, that volcanic moment kind of came to a peak, and it was like, boom, us versus you, then it was kind of like, you know, it's just what it is. It is what it is. time where it was B2K against on Mario straight up, straight up, it was crazy.

It was crazy. And I watched it all. I'm sorry. Wait, wait, wait, yeah, no, it was crazy. We've been through the fire and the wire. Yeah. So the fact that you're even saying, you're going on a tour together.

It's a big deal. It's a big deal. It's a full circle moment. Yo, it's such a big deal. It's such a big deal. I think for us more than anything, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And, of course, I don't expect.

expect people to understand it, you know what I mean? Because they wasn't there for a lot of what we all had to experience, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, this is like a, this is like a completion. This is like a moment of, you know, because I always, you know, tell this story in a lot of the interviews. I'm saying the reason why B2K was able to come back and put nostalgia back on the planet, Because at the record show, after 2019, Millennium Tour, nostalgia came back on the planet with that tour. You know what I'm saying? So with that energy, you know, I'm just being able to realize how everybody doesn't have that power.

Everybody doesn't have that power to bring you to take you back into your childhood in a present moment. You know what I'm saying? So that kind of magic, you know, it costs. You know what I'm saying? and it was it was up to us it was up to us to be able to you know understand all of that time that we put into what now we're seeing you know 20 years later it's the jackson five boys for light tour it's new edition and then it's beat too gay brothers high honors guys high honors that's real shit it really is the jackson five new addition and then beat too And I'm going to give it to New Edition

because everybody from New Edition that circled out, they all went platinum. Out of here. Yeah, new edition. With Big 2K, y'all came so fucking close, well. Straight up.

Straight up. To only have two albums and to still be able to come back and our fans just like, we're so grateful. We're so grateful. No, no, no, no. It means something, for real. It means something beyond. Motherfucking love B2K.

Straight up. Straight up. Straight up. I love B2K. I just got to be like, I got to still keep my gangstone on and shit. All right, so we're going to get into it. Hold on.

Let's go further back. Okay. What got you, what gave you the singing bug to start with? That's a great question. Okay, so I was a rapper first. It's actually how I got my name on Mariana. to be in this rap crew called The Wild Kingdom. From LA, right?

Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the cause. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming.

My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot.

4-9, that's what the up. Yeah. But they say he's a shooter, though. Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah, I want to hear the person. Yeah, yeah, so I was at the House of Blues. Yeah, I ran into him at the rehearsal. I just seen him, and I peeked my head in, and then I ran into him at the House of Blues.

In Hollywood. Yeah. And that one thing that they say about him as far as, like, him appearing and reappearing, like, I definitely saw that because he was, like, behind me for two seconds. And then, no, he was just gone. And the next moment was looking for him. That's crazy. Like, dang, I want to say what's up hearing that from people. And then he was like, show him.

Yeah, he'd get a spot. Yeah. But did he say hi? No, no, he was definitely like, no, don't fucking talk to me around. I'm telling him right now. No, he had that energy like, man. He didn't talk to me right now. He didn't talk like that.

Why are you playing with me? What did you just say? Don't fucking talk to me right now. I'm chilling. You know what I mean? Like his glasses. But I'm pretty sure that's not what he was. It was just like, yo.

At that moment. That was vibe or he said that to you? No, it was just his energy. I think that, I think, and you guys might not, might not notice. But see how we just play with his height like that? Yeah. Yeah, that would make a person very angry. You know what I mean?

Very. angry because you're playing with him, you know what I'm saying? So it's like... And he didn't play. He didn't really play. So I don't come over here playing with me, you know what I'm saying? So it was more like respect energy.

Big respect energy rather than like... Like Little Man syndrome. Like that's what the... No, I don't think it's that. That's crazy, man. Yeah, no, I think it is. No, no, you take Napoleon syndrome? Napoleon, yeah.

No, no, I don't think so. No, I'm not bad. But how about MJ? When you met MJ? MJ, incredible, incredible experience. We got to go back to that. Did he have a monkey? No.

You're going to push that line for the cause. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried. tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets. We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is shoes. an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't

hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one

or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us. I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are. Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, we're going to keep it moving in that direction, though. Total SWV. Oh, oh. Okay, so I would say, it's hot.

What's you saying? You chill it? You chill it? Chill it. Oh, man, that's my heart of taste. Oh, I love the old. So, and he was breaking it down. They have two different type of soul in my, um, perspective, you know what I'm saying?

Um, you said SWV in total. In total, yeah. I feel like Total have more of like a hip-hop R&B, so, you know what I mean, type of soul. A lot of their hits were rhythmic, you know what I'm saying? Um, can't you see, yeah. But SWV week? Oh, my God. Forever.

And then it's a bunch of them. Yeah. It's a bunch of them. So I'm going to have to go SWV. Yeah. Scott's a legend. Yes, W. Yeah.

He's doing exactly with it. Punch your peer, Ray J. Damn. Y'all going to make me pick between the bros? Whoops. Stay up there, too. You're right. You're right.

Yeah, I ain't going to choose. I don't go ahead. Go ahead, man. I ain't I ain't going to choose I ain't going to choose Yeah you need to stay out that shit You're leading the witness and shit

Stay out that shit He just want to drink man No no no That wasn't in the day I came here to drink Don't sue they ain't out of control Independent or major I think today

It depends on what you need You know what kind of support you need You know what I'm saying I think that for some people the majors work you know some people want a big look some people want to be some people just don't know what that means you know i'm saying so i think that it was fitting for us you know i mean uh when i first came in the game you know they didn't allow us to leave the room without you know getting on the phone with our lawyers so when you feel that excitement when you

feel that you know intention behind you right you know it does makes you confident you know I'm saying, and it worked. You know. Talk about the major. Yes, the major idea and concept, because majors today is like, is wild. I mean, yeah. It's not even, it's not even major, actually. You can't even tell the difference.

Yeah, it's not even major, actually. Right. Yeah. It's, yeah, that's all I'll say. But I would say, I say independence always. I think that as artists start and grow, you have to take responsibility for your art, man. Period. And I'm meaning all this aspects.

What you're singing about the producers you work with, I think artists should always be involved in the things that they create. So, ownership. That's right. Yeah. Lionel Richie or Smokey Robinson?

Oui! I'm going to have to go with Smokey. Oh, nuts. I'm going to tell you why. Smoky. Man, you're getting up when he said I got to go with Smokey? He picked, I want to go to the bathroom, go to quick. No, it's okay, that's okay. You know, got to explain.

So, so B2K did a Dr. Pepper commercial with Smokey Robinson, and also he is the model of being able to really live out your gift. Like I said, it's about who's here the longest. Who's here the longest? Who can put in more work? You know what I mean? Who can become an elder? Who can become gray at that? this, who could, you know, recreate themselves over and over again.

That's my version of what, who the best is, you know what I'm saying? Who dies last? You know what I'm saying? So Smokey Robertson is like, and, you know, he obviously take care of his self. He's taking care of his human experience. And I think that we should all like kind of just aspire in the latter part of our lives because, you know, young people, they seem to think that they're just never going to. Immortal, right.

you know what I'm saying um so I would say he can still sing man I'm just saying he's still Hey he still got ladies at the crib Yeah I'm a Rick Ross or French Montana Man I mean Two dynamic personalities You know I mean both equally hilarious

You know what I'm saying No Rick Ross is hilarious Hilarious No hilarious hilarious damn I don't think I could I don't think I could choose We didn't take a shot

Definitely bow wow. I love Bow wow. Yeah. Okay, actually two more. Acting or singing? I can't choose. It kind of goes hand in hand. It goes hand in hand.

You know, the voice, you know what I mean, the creation. You forever have that head. But you do got a movie that will forever. You got to move it above. I'm with that. Yeah. I mean, if you think about going on stage, right? And, you know, your first song is telling a story.

You don't just come out and be like singing the song. Like, nah, the table. Like, your whole life. Yeah. It's an act. You know what I mean? So. So it must be your publicity.

you're publicity I don't put it out there man because music he has for ever music but then he also has like like

I know for fact one movie that last one straight up but he's so young all right let's go

last one the last one of quick time loyalty or respect respect respect you know what I'm saying

I think that respect is more important I can help them with that one but you can help them with that one but break that down I mean what do y'all think I was like you I really want to see where this guy's gonna try to take it

I would say you're what's your first yeah yeah I would say I would say I would say I would say respect I would say that they're it's not only important for a man

to have respect it's important for a person to respect themselves as well you know what I'm saying and also I believe respect is a gateway to gratitude to actually being thankful for things you know what I'm saying when you respect something you appreciate it you know what I'm saying

versus loyalty is more of an observant test you know I'm saying like your loyalty he has to get tested, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, I think that that's like a pre, it's a predisposed position, you know, that you can maybe find yourself in. But respect, it's all around, you know what I'm saying?

When you go outside, when you walk, whatever you do, if you carry respect with you, you carry a great thing. So I would say respect. But hold on, what was it going to be used to your advice? My thing is... No, I don't want you all right. This is a picture. This is not...

This is not delusional thinking. This is real scientific fact. Scientific. Yes. A more more scientific fact. Damn. I might be old... Laboratory tested.

Okay. And especially that we have the same birthday. Oh, that's it. Spropio is big. On a loyal tea. Okay. He already knows what about it. Yeah, that's true.

No, he started saying risk. And you said, no, loyalty. I just started with this. So the respect-wise, and that's part of what slime, the interview started off when he was like, how do you get through these things? He don't let it bother you.

He's not really, that's meaning your respect. He don't care. He's holding the principles. But what I'm saying is the loyalty part is like number one for us. And then we'll deal with the rest. So I didn't know. If he said both, I'm in.

But when he picked one, he picked respect. You were like, you're like, not the same birthday. We don't, no, no, no, no. It's not the same birthday. Well, he's holding me like that, bro. I'm sorry, you're my bro, though, that. You're my bro. But I'm just saying.

Thank you, son. He makes a much, son, guys. No, no, I appreciate that perspective of loyalty. And he drank the whole bottle. That is important to us. I think that should be important to anyone that cultivates relationships. You know what I'm saying? but I just know that you can't always hold your version of loyalty test to everybody else

because everybody else is not going to really be tested in some other ways that maybe closer people that are closer to you will be tested. So it's like, do I expect a world to be loyal? Right. Like, not really. You know what I mean? Right. You can't expect loyalty.

No. That's what I'm saying. You can demand or represent yourself with respect. Yeah, yeah. But you can't expect. expect loyalty. You can. It's something you have to witness.

Right, right. It's like, damn, why that person honed me down like that? And it's like, because I know I'm with you. But in the context that we lay it out. Yeah. We say, which one? One or both? I'm always going to say, I just give me both.
