That is the question. Do you remember a picture of how you felt in high school or middle school and was like, why did my friends make me look like this? I remember seeing this picture of Charlemagne where he arched his eyebrows and he looked like The Rock. You know how The Rock's eyebrows go up like that? That's what it looked like to me. Well, I got gassed up, you know what I'm saying?

And I wasn't even in high school then. I was actually doing telemarketing. I used to be the guy that would call your house and try to sell you 12 CDs for a penny working at BMG Publishing or whatever. I used to be the guy that would call your house and try to sell you 12 CDs for a penny. Working at BMG Publishing. I remember them. Two women I worked with, Nina and Shania, they gassed me up. Shania. Nina and Shania.

They told me I look like Tupac. They said Tupac gets his eyebrows arched. Did you move your hat back just now so we could see that they're no longer arched? They're not arched. I have amazing eyebrows. Come on, Lauren. They are there. I was looking. She said they're there. I're no longer arched. Well, yeah, they're not arched. I have amazing eyebrows. Come on. Come on, Lauren. No, they are there. I was looking. She said they're there. It's giving.

So I never had to arch them. Okay, I never had. I didn't. I did because they gassed me up to do it. That's all. By the way, true story. The other day, I was walking into the drugstore, and this white dude, a young white dude,

was driving a Chrysler 500, and he slammed on bricks, and he goes, Yo, aren't you famous? I go, No. And he goes, You look like that one guy. And I go, who? Charlamagne? He goes, no, Tupac. That let me know how slow people are.

That was on Monday. I promise, I don't even want to promise to God because God knows. God was there. Why do you think Tupac was walking there? You said CBS? Exactly. That's my point. People are slow, Lauren. Lauren, it's a lie. Let me ask you a question, Charlemagne. You also put Queensbridge on the side of your hair.

QBC. I was a fan of QBC. I was a fan of Queensbridge music. I was a fan of... And that's where I used to hustle at and hang at. That's what we used to call it. We used to call it Queensbridge. But that was for a reason, though. That's because the road was actually called...

I think it was... Was it Queen Esther Lane? Something like that. So it was just slang. But we were fans of the Queensbridge music. I'm glad you made it out of that era. That was a time it seems like. So am I.

Hey, y'all. What's up? Hey, Dani. Good morning. Let's talk about it. My high school pictures were so embarrassing. I actually erased them off of my Facebook and YouTube and everything because I had like dented eyebrows that didn't match.

It was like 09. So I had the perm still that was broke off on the ends. You're not supposed to wear the Kanye glasses. You're not supposed to run from who you are. Like that person that you were then helped you become the person you are now. You should embrace all versions of you. All versions of you deserve healing. I agree.

Hello, who's this? Abby. Hey, good morning. Hello, who's this? I'll be. Hey, good morning. Hey, how you doing? Now talk to us about how you looked when you was a kid and how you felt you looked silly. Man, when I was a kid, I was just crazy. I was at school and I was around a group of friends and I thought I was cute. I felt with my head up

One of my friend girls tell me girl you look like one of them people I've Jesus creep with What a friend Round of applause for that Queen. I hope she's still your friend to this day. You can be a little bit more sensitive though You need to like that around you. Wow. So what did you do to, like, get yourself together after that? Because you can't just go on acting like nothing happened after you've been told that. Man, I put out. I felt shame, and I was feeling bad and all that stuff. But I had ended up talking to her after that and told her how I felt.

And she didn't take it back because you really did look like that thing off Jeep was creepy? Jesus. She was like, she was sorry. Why is she going to be sorry for telling you the truth? It's not what she said. It's how she said it. Okay, that might be true. She probably saved you from embarrassing Facebook pictures in the future.

They there. If she was looking like that one day, there was a lot of days. Man, I went through a treasure because I was went through my Facebook and they was on there. Like, I got some bad Facebook pictures. I think we should keep those pictures up and go look back at them and just thank God for how far we've came. That's what I do. That's all.

And like I said, we were young. We didn't have any idea of nothing. Like, nobody just... You know, I take that back. There's some people who come in the game with, you know, some fashion sense and knowing who they are and what they want to represent. But fashion changes, though. So what was lit then?

You know what I mean? Like looking back on what you thought was lit then. All the stupid baggy clothes we had on. Yes. Lauren got on. She got on overalls right now with one of them unbuttoned. Uh-huh. I'm cracking up.

All my friends, my friends always be like, you dress like the baby because of the overalls. But I think that this is fly. And when you say you dress like the baby, I look at that and I'm like, yo, that's 90s. Like that's TLC. That's Mary J. Blige. That's naughty by nature. Like everybody was doing the overalls. I was about to bring some cross colors denim in here today.
