Starting point is 00:02:34 I was sitting with a Louis cup of tequila. I was like, what are you doing with that? He had the same cup all night. I'm like, come on. And then I walked up to him. Guess you had the same thing all night. I definitely did. Had the same thing.
Starting point is 00:02:42 All night. Whatever. I was like, what are you doing with that? He had the same cup all night. I'm like, come on And then I walked up to him at one point. I definitely did have the same thing. All night, whatever. And this morning. Well last night y'all went to go see Kendrick. We went to go see Kendrick at the MetLife, right? And SZA. And I walked up to this man. Yes, and SZA. I walked up to him at one point and he was like, yes, yo, I'm so drunk. Like, yo, you're not drunk. Stop trying to be cool. But he had a sweet, he treated us to ghosts. I thought that was really really dope. Right, I was not drunk. Stop trying to be cool. He treated us to go, so I thought that was really, really dope.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Right, it was not drunk. I know you wasn't drunk. You weren't even drinking. Having the same shot for three hours is crazy. I feel a little tipsy right now. Nothing crazy.

Starting point is 00:03:53 That's dope. But the beauty of Kendrick and the beauty of SZA, especially Kendrick, he's not, he's never conformed. So he's not, he's not doing anything to appease anybody. He's making the art that he wants to make and it's unapologetically black. And you either like it, you love it, or you don't like it, but it seems like a lot of people love it.

Morning everybody, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with some sports.
Starting point is 00:07:48 The Timberwolves beat the Warriors last night 117-93. Alright. What's up Morgan? Good morning and happy Friday y'all. How y'all feeling? Peace Morgan. Bless Black and Holly favorite. How are you ma'am?
Starting point is 00:07:57 I'm doing good. I love to hear it. Alright so let's get into it. First up on the front page a new pope has been elected and he's an American from Chicago, David, how are you, man? I'm doing good. I love to hear it. All right. So let's get into it. First up on the front page, a new pope has been elected and he's an American from Chicago, the South side to be exact. You shot a pope? Drill pope.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Drill pope. Get a drill pope. Nah, Pope Leo XIV is the first American pope in the Catholic Church's history. White smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel around 6 p.m. Yesterday Vatican time deafening cheers and bells rang with tens of thousands of people packed in St. Peter's Square to celebrate now the 69 year old was formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Provost Born and raised in Chicago's South Side And he then selected that name Leo and his brothers John and Lewis Provost shared how they felt following the announcement. Let's take a listen to them.
Starting point is 00:08:47 It's totally unreal, totally surreal. And it's a tremendous, tremendous thing to take in, but it's something to be very proud of. Shocking, surprising, exciting. I'm almost speechless. It's just mind-blowing that my brother was elected Pope. I'm going to be honest with you. I have no idea what any of this means. I didn't know what the Pope's nationality was before. But it was never American. Never did it the first time, so this is a big deal. He was from South America. It only took two days and five rounds, four for Cardinals to select the new pope more than 130 Cardinals from around the world have cast their ballots to replace Pope Francis now Leo Interesting facts about him. He attended Villanova in Philadelphia. He was also in Peru for two decades
Starting point is 00:09:36 Where he became a bishop and a naturalized citizen of the country He's been serving in the Vatican where he oversaw selection of new bishops and he's been seen as the centrist and on some key issues, social issues as he is also viewed as progressive. Interesting fact, a noted genealogist says that Pope Leo is the 14th has an ancestry of Creole ancestry of color with roots from New Orleans on his mother's side. The US census shows that Robert Cope, yeah, his late mother was a mixed race daughter of a Haitian born father and a Creole mother. Signed pot said to the Pope. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:17 So I think that's just some interesting facts about the Pope. It doesn't look like we have much time for the next story, but I will say that transportation Sean, transportation secretary Sean Duffy is calling for massive investment in the country's air traffic control system. We talked about it yesterday and matter of fact I'll just get more into that in the seven o'clock hour. So is the Pope like a priest? Like what kind of reverence is the Pope? He's not royalty right? He's the highest in the church. Yes he is the highest
Starting point is 00:10:44 priest. They call him Holy Father. Yeah they say the highest in the church. Yes. He is the highest priest face and they call him Holy Father Yeah, they say after God is the Pope. That's what they say. So what about Jesus? Well, that's what I mean after God and Jesus Yes, he's his eyes. What about Moses? Come on now the Pope can't be third The right department. That's two different departments. It's not the right department. The Pope ain't in the Bible, like I mean I don't know. Has he walked on water?
Starting point is 00:11:11 Has he turned water into Hennessy? But he did say that he said the Knicks are gonna win. He said he put his arm around Jalen Brunson, Hart, and McAlbridge just cause they all went to Villanova so he knows them well and he says the Knicks got it this year. How old is he? He don't have to be like 90. White Sox fan, which is interesting. White Sox fan. Chicago. Or Sluiton, Honorable Minister Lewis to this year. How old is he? White Sox fan which is interesting. White Sox fan.

Starting point is 00:24:01 I don't feel emotions correctly. I am talking to a felon right now and I cannot decide if I like him or not. Those were some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world as a fake gecko therapist
Starting point is 00:24:20 and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot. Matter of fact, here's a few more examples of the kinds of calls we get on this show. I live with my boyfriend and I found his piss jar in our apartment. I collect my roommates toenails and fingernails. I have very overbearing parents. Even at the age of 29, they won't let me move out of their house.
Starting point is 00:24:46 So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head and see what's going on in someone else's head, search for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I think you should encourage your friend to go ahead and not be holding out for any man
Starting point is 00:25:10 to have her babies. If she is passionate about becoming a mother and she has her eggs frozen and she has her life together, go for it. She could be waiting another 10 years before she finds the right guy. Connie didn't meet her right guy until you were what, 50 Connie? How long have you guys been together? Yeah, no 52. 52. I adopted my son as a single mom because I kept thinking oh I'm gonna meet the guy, I'm gonna meet the guy, I'm gonna meet the guy. I finally was like what am I waiting for and I did it and I'm just so glad that I did. I want to change the narrative about
Starting point is 00:25:42 single parents and also help to create a community for single parents so that they can not feel alone in it. One of the big things is it's so hard, especially for women, to ask for help. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a over on the other side of the mic. Okay. So Drake, Universal Music Group has now responded to Drake.
Starting point is 00:26:17 So you guys remember when we reported up here that Drake amended his lawsuit after the Super Bowl and the Grammys went down and said, I told y'all that this was a big orchestrated plan to promote this song at on these big stages and it's defamation because it's happening. Then allegedly Universal Music Group knows what they're doing by doing it. The biggest stage was the Super Bowl and then at the Grammys when they played the song because he's saying that the there on that big stage, people all over the world were allowed to be exposed to him being called a pedophile, right? So Universal Music Group is saying,
Starting point is 00:26:51 this is astonishing and this is a very wild conspiracy because if you go back to the Super Bowl stage, it did not include the lyric. Drake or none of his associates were called a certified pedophile, which is the whole reason why this defamatory lawsuit has come about. And the focus needs to be on the fact that this large audience that Drake is talking about, they said that on their own. Kendrick Lamar never said that
Starting point is 00:27:15 on the stage. Now I will say, they did mention in their amendment Drake's team that the fact that Kendrick did not say it, it shows that okay hey obviously you guys know that this word is wrong and shouldn't be said because why can't he say it? But Universal Music Group is like listen, that we ain't got nothing to do with that. It's a diss song, you engaged so now he's engaging, you were successful when you did it before now he's been successful. What is the big issue? Yeah Drake just need to shut the F up and I want Drake to know that there's no bigger stage than culture. As Kendrick said, you can't fake influence way before the Grammys,
Starting point is 00:27:49 way before the Super Bowl. That record was already out of here. Okay. And Drake gonna have to sue the world because I watched everybody in MetLife Stadium sing that song word for word. Kendrick didn't have to say a word. He did say a word at all. Even if it weren't at work day.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Oh, I was about to say that. I was coming into the suite as back into the suite as it was like starting up and people were literally running because they were waiting for that because I think it got dark and then it came back up. People were running because they wanted to see the moment. As soon as you hear I see dead people. Yes. It was crazy. How many times in the performance? Most disrespectful diss record of all time when you really listen to it and you listen to the things that he's saying it's very very disrespectful I know that there's been this record that I'm talking about killing people and sleeping with people's wives and all that type of stuff But it's that that not like us is very nasty. It is nasty video. I'm telling you nothing beats euphoria. It is It is nasty, but yo, I'm telling you, nothing beats Euphoria. It is, oh my God, Euphoria is crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:45 He performed there last night too. That was lit. Euphoria make you wanna diss people. Yes. You wanna be in a rap battle. So when he's doing it, is this still on stage or she's walking up? Nah, she's walking up.
Starting point is 00:28:54 No, they go back and forth. Yeah, back and forth. And then they come together for like Luther, like the songs that they had together. Yeah, and they interact, but they like, they use the whole stage set up too. Like they work in stage. And their transitions are dope.
Starting point is 00:29:04 So what's your favorite part of Euphoria? Mine? Yeah. Oh my God, I don't know. They interact but they like they use the whole stage set up to Mine yeah, um, oh my god, I don't know I like when he says let you know I'm the biggest hater. I hate the way that you walked with talk. I hate the way that you dress I hate you with you sneak this my catch like it's gonna be direct. It's just nasty Him right now my favorite versions of you. And moisturize your shoulders. First of all, it's very well moisturized. It's very well moisturized, baby. Shout out to Setafil.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yes, it is. As soon as that part came up, he looked at Lauren. Period. I hate the way that you walk away. Why? I was like, oh, why is he taking her? Why is his eyes like that? Yesterday, I posted on my Insta story
Starting point is 00:29:44 that my hair girl was here doing my hair. He's gonna respond with all the praying hands. That's what I'm saying. You got this man telling the internet, when you gonna get your hair done and everything. I said she didn't have to go live and get that done for proof. Continue on, Nara. Continue, stay focused. Yeah, I was on Instagram Live, they're gonna say, wait till Unc see this.
Starting point is 00:29:53 I said he hadn't already seen it. Stay focused. But I do want to mention that the shows at the MetLife Stadium in Jersey are sold out nights and it's a real sold out crowd as well too. Cause I was also looking to see that cause sometimes they'll say sold out and some seats are like blocked out. No, it is a like the seats are super full from top to bottom. So shout out to Kendrick Lamar. Um, and today is the last day of what what go ahead I've been to MetLife when Ed Sheeran was there. Sheeran had every seat they did
Starting point is 00:30:35 have seats blocked off last night and I ain't gonna let you sit up here. I took multiple videos there was show me here I have like 10 videos. You ain't seen behind the stage? That's my Just my life behind the state that don't count. We're at sharing cells behind the stage So now I feel like behind the stage don't come because there's no view you can't see Build the stage differently like if you know it they were build the stage differently I think I've never been to a concert where behind the stage was utilized It's a sellout based off the amount of tickets that Beyoncé put out. Chris Brown, they do that. They do, they sell behind the stage.
Starting point is 00:31:08 But being that you said they don't block off any seats, I'm like, nah, that wasn't true now. They did have a whole section. No, but I've been to concerts where even in the, so you might have behind the stage, but like the full top, like they take the full top rows and you only got like that bottom section of the arenas or wherever you are. Like the full top is blocked out in black and you can see it. Guys, Pemdix owe $82,000 can see it. And it's like very evident.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Kendrick's sold 82,000 tickets. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It's a sell out. It's a sell out. And for their production purpose, because they had the camera shooting, like the way they shooting it.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Yeah. Right. You know what I'm saying? They were shooting from behind the stage for a certain like panoramic view. We couldn't have did that if they didn't. I think if behind the stage was open, it would have been sold out as well. Like the seats were full, the butts were there.
Starting point is 00:31:46 All I know, it was a fantastic show. SZA and Kendrick are two unapologetically black people. I love seeing people be unapologetically black at the highest levels. Yeah. Well, I do want to mention today is the last day in the D.D. trial of the jury selection. So today they should get down to those 12 jurors in the alternates. And then Monday, the 12th is when the actual trial will start. So opening statements begin Monday.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Now yesterday, one of my journalist friends that's there all the time as well, text me and let me know people are actually sleeping and camping out Sunday night because they want to make sure that Monday morning they're able to get into that courtroom. Like a stink ass courtroom. I'm going but I'm not sleeping out. Well, you don't got to sleep out but you're get into that courtroom. Like. It's a stink ass courtroom. A musty ass courtroom. I'm going, but I'm not sleeping out. Well, you ain't gotta sleep out, but you're going tonight and Monday.

Starting point is 00:32:48 You just making up stuff. I'm over here fine. I am so focused. You gotta ignore junkie. Yes, hating on the seating. I know. Arrangement. I wasn't hating on the seating.
Starting point is 00:32:55 You just said something that just wasn't accurate. I don't want people to count on you for saying something that wasn't accurate. Cause there was a whole section blocked off. But what Jess said is true. It's because of the way the production was set up. You wasn't even thinking that. You were just so worried about making sure that what I said is true, it's because of the way the production was set up. You wasn't even thinking that,
Starting point is 00:33:05 you were just so worried about making sure that what I said was not correct. Because people be ready to jump on you for saying things that aren't correct. You're right, thank you for that. I appreciate that. You're right. Are you still seeing like MacGala outfits
Starting point is 00:33:17 that you didn't see before? Cause LaKeef Staffield tore down. I ain't gonna lie, I saw it. I was like, yo, where was he at?

It's Greed. You told me it was Greedy. They told me that he was silent.

Starting point is 00:34:41 She has a new podcast. And I'm sorry, guys. This is a Friday. It's going to be a long day. It is not free. It's gonna be a long day The guy we are the breakfast club, let's get in some front page news last night. And NBA, the Timber Wolf, Beat the Warriors 117.93. Now I want to start off with apologizing to you, Miss Morgan. The class is drunk. I just want to put that out there. Nobody is drunk. Stop putting that on the zone. Don't come at me like that. That Friday feeling. It's all good. Let's get into it.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I'm high. That's right. Tell them, Jess. I was close. I was close. We're a bunch of drunks. We don't have money for real drugs. Oh my god. Alright, let's get into it. So, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is calling for a massive investment in the country's air traffic control system. He said it's old and not worth saving. Duffy said he will ask Congress, who holds the purse, we know that, to grant upfront appropriations for all money needed to update technology and equipment Which he said will be a three to four year long effort
Starting point is 00:35:48 The overhaul is expected to include new telecommunications on radars on on the ground sensors for tarmacs and a flight management System to improve efficiency in the airspace. Let's take a listen to Sean make us Sean Duffy's comments We believe we can do this in Sean Duffy's comments. We believe we can do this in three to four years. It's probably closer to four than it is to three. But two things have to happen. One is we need the money. And two, we have to have permitting reform.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Of course, this comes after a series of issues have plagued the air traffic control system, including a recent communication issue, which caused hundreds of flights to be disrupted at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Yeah I agree with that because if the air traffic control systems or anything like some of these planes then they have to be old and outdated because you can just feel when you want an old-ass plane and you also can feel when you want you know
Starting point is 00:36:37 something that's more more modern. Yeah the only problem is what they're saying is they're saying to build a new system is gonna be very difficult because they don't know if they could build a new system and have the old system work in the proper way. So they're saying that might be a problem or an issue. So they have to figure that out. Yeah, exactly. Somebody call the IT guys. Goodness. All right. In presidential news, the US and the UK have a new trade deal. President Trump made the announcement at the White House yesterday morning saying the UK is an important ally and he feels it will be a great deal for both countries. He also talked about working on getting a deal done with China. Let's take a listen to President Trump.
Starting point is 00:37:11 The final details are being written up in the coming weeks. We'll have it all very conclusive, but the actual deal is a very conclusive one. We think just about everything's been approved. We'd like to see China opened up so we can Compete in China and you know give people something that they've never had, you know access to something so Trump went on to say he has a great relationship with President Chinese President Xi and the Secretary Treasury Secretary, excuse me Scott Benson is set to meet with his Chinese counterpart in Switzerland to discuss trade this weekend. Meanwhile the trade deal with UK is that was it's the first to be reached since Trump's unveiled his sweeping tariff plan and it's set to
Starting point is 00:37:52 reduce tariffs on British cars to 10%. It aims to increase market access for agriculture, beef and ethanol and the deal is also said to increase pathways to pharmaceutical supply chains. What was that Char? No, you know they said he announced on on whatever social media that this is a major trade deal, but it's not because he doesn't have the authority to sign the type of free trade agreement that Congress Congress has to do that. So Congress has to approve a trade agreement and that takes longer than a 90 day pause in place of some of Trump's tariffs Absolutely, so it's like it's like the bare bones of a narrow agreement So it'll be like months and negotiations and legal paperwork to follow right right and it was such a huge You know
Starting point is 00:38:32 He made it out to be such a huge announcement as well And if I can bring things to a serious note for you guys because I know the class is acting up today As Mother's Day is upon us I would love to bring some awareness to a topic that the Black Information Network is taking very seriously. The National Institutes of Health report that Black maternal mortality rates continue to rise in the U.S. with Black women dying close to three times the rate of white women while pregnant during or after delivery. Now, while this is why we're launching a public awareness campaign called Saving Black Moms, a Maternal Health Crisis. BIN will share a light on concerns surrounding black maternal health and efforts to
Starting point is 00:39:10 address the problem. We spoke to Nicole Berryman, whose 26-year-old daughter, Tiara, died days after delivering a healthy baby boy last November. Berryman is now raising her daughter's three children. We also spoke to maternal health advocate, Dana Hickman, who is a member of BIN's Community Advisory Board and the founder of Viola's House, a South Dallas nonprofit that houses up to six homeless pregnant teens while providing other supporting services. Let's take a listen to their comments from Saving Black Moms, a Maternal Health Crisis. They told me pneumonia. They told me stress. They told
Starting point is 00:39:44 me maybe spasms. There was never a diagnosis. It was a maybe and we communicated and nothing happened. They took her, they did the test for her heart, they came back and told me that it was stress. If the household is stable then the mother is stable enough to get to health care. The mother is stable, more stable with her mental health where she's not worrying about, okay, how am I going to provide for this baby? How am I going to get diapers for this baby? So the economic stability piece is really, really important through our social service
Starting point is 00:40:19 agency because it directly impacts the social determinants of health. That's horrible. Yeah, but it's a reality. You know, it's a reality for a lot of moms, and moms deal with a lot of things, you know, a lot of different elements, whether it's just caring for the child, caring for themselves, and making sure that, you know, they are in a decent, you know, decent, like she said, mental space to even just care for themselves or care for children. You can hear more from them and others connected to this issue starting
Starting point is 00:40:49 on June 2nd as we roll out that special. And before I go, I just want to say happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. And the mothers of the BG team. The mother adjacents because we know there are some women and men out here raising some babies, you know Adjacently as a mother type figure. So that's your front page news Follow me on social at Morgan media and follow Black Information Network for more news coverage download the free I heart radio app and visit us at bi n news.com Thank You Morgan
Starting point is 00:41:22 Mother's day and I also want to tell y'all we have Emma Greedy coming up next but I'm not doing Donkey Today today because it's Friday and you know I like no it's not cuz I'm drunk it's because I like opening up the phone lines and giving the floor to the people and letting them do Donkey Today on Friday.

What's wrong with you? Your eyes are low. He got on sunglasses like Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder. I can see your gaito. And Lauren looks mysterious.
Starting point is 00:42:14 It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, we got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. We have Emma Greedy, welcome. Thank you, I'm so happy to be here, good morning all of you.
Starting point is 00:42:32 How are you? I'm really good actually, very good today. Now you are the CEO and co-founder of the denim company Good American, founding partner of Skims, co-founder of Safely, and you have a new podcast coming out, Aspire with Emma Green. I do, I do indeed. So tell us how this all came about. All of those things.
Starting point is 00:42:49 What are you doing there? Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, honestly, I'm so excited about the podcast. That's my newest, latest venture. And you know, I've spent my entire career building businesses. And so the idea around the podcast was really me thinking about how I can scale mentorship because wherever I go all over this country,
Starting point is 00:43:10 if I'm doing a talk or if I'm walking down the street, people are constantly asking me questions like, how do I start a business? How do I get a pay rise? How do I become the best version of myself? How do I negotiate better? And you know, I can answer a lot of DMs, but there's only so much you can do. And so I'm really taking all of my knowledge, everything I've done, all of my network and trying to bring it to people in a digestible way. And I think that when you think about podcasting, it's a very, very, you know, broad medium, but there's a very narrow business viewpoint, very, very narrow viewpoint. And especially when you get to business podcasting, it's all men.
Starting point is 00:43:45 And so I'm bringing like a perspective of myself, of somebody who is self-made, someone who's a self-starter and has, you know, come from where I come from with very little education. And I wanna bring something to people that is tangible and that they can essentially take out. I want you to have something that's actionable. When you leave this podcast,
Starting point is 00:44:03 that you can take that back into where you work or back into your small business and do something with it. Speaking of where are you from? Where do you come from? Where do I come from? I come from East London in England which is a bit like you know I always think about it as you know similar to Brooklyn or something like that. It's the most impoverished part of London but I would say probably the best part of London. You said it like you're from Brooklyn. East London. East London.
Starting point is 00:44:27 But, alright, you have a network for $320 million. Something like that. And you're from East London. I think that was last year's figures, but yeah, we'll go on there. Talk that talk. Talk that talk. Same, same, babe. We're growing out here.
Starting point is 00:44:39 But you did come from an impoverished area. I do. And you said you're self-made. Yes, indeed. So how did you get to that point? What was the first thing that got you in the mix to get on that road to having the network? I mean, I've had a job since I was 12 years old. I delivered the papers. I worked in a deli I worked in clothes shops. I did all the things but you know, my interest was really in fashion
Starting point is 00:44:56 That's where my passion was, but I didn't know anyone who had a business when I was old I didn't even know the term entrepreneur if you were an entrepreneur in where I come from, you were probably doing something very wrong. So that wasn't really a, an idea that I had growing up. But so for me, I started out like many people, I did a lot of work experience. I tried to get into the fashion business. I assisted everybody. I worked in a lot of stores and eventually I found myself in a fashion show production company. And so that was me creating the shows, like building the shows, the catwalks, the backdrops. And it was a very unfulfilling job, but you met everybody. So I did that for about four years.
Starting point is 00:45:35 And after a while, I started my own company doing that when I was 24 years old. And it kind of grew from there. I did one company, I did another, I sold a couple companies. Fast forward to when I'm about 32, I managed to exit that business. So I spent nearly 10 years building that first company, had my first serious, meaningful exit, meaning that I made some money for myself, and so I was financially secure.
Starting point is 00:45:59 What company was it? That was called ITB. And it was amazing. It was like an entertainment marketing agency. So I worked with all the great brands and I would put talent in their campaigns. And I built a big company. We had offices in London, in Paris, in New York, in LA. I shut down in LA because I made a lot of mistakes.
Starting point is 00:46:15 But it gave me the foundational knowledge to really get to where I am now. And then of course, you know, I decided after all that time and, you know, creating a lot of value for other people and other brands that I would do something for myself. And that's when I started Good American. Yeah. And Good American, Skims is under that and what else? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:46:34 They're totally separate companies. Separate companies, separate entities, separate share holdings, separate. That's the thing, and I was reading this and I saw that you have like certain percentage in Skims. You have a certain percentage in Good American. I do. You have a certain percentage in Safely. And this and I thought that you have like certain percentage in skims You have a certain percentage in good American You have a certain percentage in safely and the reason I thought that was so dope is because we live in this era where people Feel like you have to have a hundred percent of something to be an owner to be a boss
Starting point is 00:46:54 But the reality is a hundred percent of nothing is nothing nothing Listen, here's the thing. I've done a very very good job because I divest my shareholdings You don't want to hold a lot of money of a company. I've taken money off the table. I'm not looking to be rich when I'm 75 years old. I want the money now. Yeah. And so I think that when you get valuations like a $4 billion valuation, you take some money off the table. That's the sensible thing to do to divest your interests. And that's what I've done all along. And so I'm very happy with the shareholdings I have right now because I've cash in the bank and that's what counts Company start, you know people with no skims because it's so huge. It's only it's sponsored by the NBA So how did that come we sponsor the NBA even the other way around even better?
Starting point is 00:47:35 So honestly, I think it came about from the relationship that I have with the family and you know, your idea No, it wasn't my idea. It was Kim's idea She wanted to create a shapewear company or an underwear company and you know I had a business with the family and so we decided to do it together and the rest they say is history. It was the right thing at the right time and you know I think with any company the stars have to align. We launched that company in a magical, magical time and it hit the kind of zeitgeist. It was the right company for the culture like at the moment. And so
Starting point is 00:48:10 I think it was just a series of amazing things that happened and put it on the map and here we are. That's amazing because Even Good American is Chloe's company, right? It's a partnership between me and Chloe. Yes, work well with the family. She said check, check, check. I love that. And there's so many of them. So many checks.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I love that. And Skims has redefined shapewear. What was the biggest risk you took early on that paid off? I think that Kim had a very clear idea of what she wanted to do and a very differentiated idea. And I think that that's what it's all about in business anytime, right? You have to have something that is unique and a unique point of difference to whatever's out there. And when I think about anything that we've done, whether we're talking about size inclusivity or whether we're talking about the range from like a kind of, you know, nude color range,
Starting point is 00:48:58 like we're always trying to do something that doesn't exist in the market. And I think when you're solving problems, when you're creating solutions for people, that's when you get that kind of breakthrough. That's when you get something that customers really go, oh, I need that. I have that problem and you guys are solving for it. When do you realize when it's time to sell a company? When do you say, okay, this is when we have to exit? I think that that is different for every company.
Starting point is 00:49:21 And I've been in agency businesses and I've been in brand businesses I think that what is often true is like your first offer is often your best offer and you shouldn't always think that there's something amazing coming around the corner you have to sell things when they're on the up because it peaks right and then then you've only got the downside to sell and so when you've got that momentum when you've got the forward swing when you're in growth mode as they say that's when you need to think about selling or at least taking some money off the table. Do people in fashion really care about diversity or is it just good PR until like the next training? I mean you could ask yourself does anyone really care about diversity? I don't think it's just about fashion.
Starting point is 00:49:58 I think there's definitely a certain amount of you know performative action out there, right, for marketing purposes. And actually, Good American and the reason I started that company was a reaction to that because I worked in the fashion business and I saw all these companies doing perform, you know, like hiring one black girl in the campaign and yet no one in the entire company was black. And I saw people like performatively putting a plus size person in a campaign when they didn't even make the clothes for that person. The girls that clothes would be cut up the back because she couldn't even fit in the jeans. And so when we started Good American, the idea about it was to say, okay, let's make a company that actually has these
Starting point is 00:50:37 values where the office and the people that run the business and the people that make the decisions and the people in the C suite are actually a reflection of the customer base. And I think that's what made Good American so successful that it was actually walking the walk and not just talking the talk. If you were a size 20 and you needed a pair of jeans, you have a tiny waist and a big butt, like you came to Good American and you could feel the difference in that product and people knew we were for real real. That's like how you said that, a tiny waist and a big butt? Yeah, we knew that we were for real real. That's what we you said that a tiny waist and a big body We're still kicking with Emma greed now you're also on shark tank, correct? I am
Starting point is 00:51:17 What do you look for when somebody is on shark tank and they're pitching something to you, you know for me It's always about the founder. It's always I you know, even when I think about hiring and investing I'm like attitude over experience because that's my experience. I'm not someone who comes from a place where you'd be like, I'm going to bet on her. And so I really want that person that is so passionate about their ideas so crazy about it. They know everything about the competition. They know everything about what they're doing and they are deep and they are into it. So I'm going for someone who like feels it intrinsically. I was going to ask, so what was your most successful investment on Shark Tank? Do you know, it was this incredible, it's so funny that you asked that because when
Starting point is 00:51:50 I got onto that show, you know, you do a few investments and I remember saying to Mark one day, when I ever make any money out of any of this stuff. And he said, you know what Emma, there'll be one and one of them will make you a bunch of money. And for me, that was cakes body, these incredible two women that make like a silicone nipple cover. And of course, the minute I saw them, I was like, I know that business, I understand this space, like, I know I need that in my, in my kit in my wardrobe. And they were doing just under a million dollars when I met them and a year later, $120 million. Jesus killed killed. And just so you know, just a couple of like regular girls that left their jobs and decided I'm going to do
Starting point is 00:52:28 something for myself. How often, because you're in these billion dollar rooms, right? As a woman of color? Yes, my dad's black, mom's white, I'm mixed race. How often do you still feel underestimated? Every day. I mean, because I am underestimated every day, right? Even after all the success? Well, I mean, listen, now it's a little bit different. Now I can walk
Starting point is 00:52:48 into any room and people will bet on me and people would want to invest in me. It's bad. But I do think that you still, you know, I still think you're proving, I'm proving myself every day. I never take anything for granted, right? You're only as good as the last thing you did. And I'm constantly pushing myself into spaces. It's like, I might be sitting here with, you know, a bunch of great companies behind me, but I don't know, I'm not a good podcaster, you know, I'm just getting started. And so I don't take anything for granted. And that's why I always think that, you know, you've got to be humble, you've got to go into something with the spirit of, you know, trying your hardest and trying to be good. And I never let that that leave me. I don't walk into anything, expecting
Starting point is 00:53:26 anything. I think you got to work for it every day. Is that why you want to do the podcast? Because you want to help people? Because you got so many different jobs and you have girls, you have kids, you have a husband, you have a lot of ish going on. I don't have a lot of ish going on. No, you know, it really is because I think at a certain point, right, you get to a place where you are financially comfortable. And also I prove to myself all the things I wanted to prove to comfortable. And also I proved to myself all the things I wanted to prove to myself. And now I think that the sign, you know, of success for me is
Starting point is 00:53:51 how many people can come along like that are like me, that can come along and you can open the door for and that could actually have this sense of changing their life and building the life of their dreams because of something that I did. And I know that, you know, people are looking to me and I feel like it's honestly a responsibility. And I don't want that to sound, you know, trite or like something that feels disingenuous is I feel very, very responsible for all the women that get in touch with me all the time, because there is so much much there are so many barriers And there's so much out there that tells you that it's an impossibility
Starting point is 00:54:30 That there's not room for people that your opinion doesn't matter And I really think that leaning into my differences really knowing and understanding where I come from and what is Different and important about that. That's what's actually given me like space in these rooms. That's why people look to me and say what is your opinion about this because of where I've come from and so I actually think it's a superpower. What would you tell somebody that is an entrepreneur, maybe a woman and trying to get into this space has an idea but it just hasn't taken off as of yet. They can't get on Shark Tank and they just want some type of advice to say how would you do it? How would you approach it? What would you tell that person?
Starting point is 00:55:07 Well, listen, the first thing is to stop because what you'll find is a lot of people talk about a lot of stuff and they haven't actually done it. And there's this idea that there's some perfect time, perfect set of circumstances. It's never perfect. And also this idea we're in this culture right now where everyone thinks they have to raise a load of money. Like don't, don't raise any money. Just do something. Get out of the gate. We live in a world where social media and Shopify has enabled us to start things very
Starting point is 00:55:34 cheaply and you can start small. Not everything needs to be a billion dollar business. Maybe you're trying to transform your circumstances and leave your corporate job and actually a little bit of money, a little bit of revenue will be transformative for you. So I would say don't benchmark and measure yourself by some. Yo K-Pop fans, it's your boy Bom Han and I'm bringing you something epic.

Starting point is 00:56:40 This isn't just a podcast, it's a movement. Are you ready? Let's go. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles, break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small. Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say,
Starting point is 00:57:12 Hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into it. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people. Your mountain is that.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I found out I was related to the guy that I was dating. I don't feel emotions correctly. I am talking to a felon right now and I cannot decide if I like him or not. Those were some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world
Starting point is 00:58:09 as a fake gecko therapist and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept, but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot. Matter of fact, here's a few more examples of the kinds of calls we get on this show. I live with my boyfriend, and I found his piss jar in our apartment.
Starting point is 00:58:30 I collect my roommates' toenails and fingernails. I have very overbearing parents. Even at the age of 29, they won't let me move out of their house. So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head and see what's going on in someone else's head, search for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the one with the green guy on it.
Starting point is 00:58:52 This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Connie Britton is here. I think you should encourage your friend to go ahead and not be holding out for any man to have her babies. If she is passionate about becoming a mother and she has her eggs frozen and she has her life together, go for it. She could be waiting another 10 years before she finds the right guy. Connie didn't meet her right guy until you were what, 50 Connie?
Starting point is 00:59:15 How long have you guys been together? Yeah, no, 52. 52. I adopted my son as a single mom because I kept thinking, oh, I'm going to meet the guy. I'm going to meet the guy. I'm going to meet the guy, I'm going to meet the guy. I finally was like, what am I waiting for?
Starting point is 00:59:28 And I did it. And I'm just so glad that I did. I want to change the narrative about single parents and also help to create a community for single parents so that they can not feel alone in it. One of the big things is it's so hard, especially for women, to ask for help. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Standard that actually isn't part of your existence. It's like, do something, get out of the gate, start it, and then you test and you learn into it, because nothing works immediately. If I think about the business that I started with Good American, three skews of skinny denim and what it is today, the two things don't even look the same. They don't look the same. We changed the size, but we changed everything.
Starting point is 01:00:14 The only thing you can't change in business is the reason that you started. It's like the very essence of what you do and your purpose has to remain the same. You iterate everything else, transform on the way up. And so I think that that's a really important thing. It's like you just have to get out of the gate and start. I agree with you. You know, I think a comparison is a thief of joy though. Yes it is.
Starting point is 01:00:36 So people will start something but then they'll be looking at you. But they don't realize all the time you've already put in, all the experience you've got that got you to this point. But they feel like if they not doing what Emma's doing right now, they're not successful. Totally. And I think that that is just, again, it's so much about the culture that we sit in right now. It gives you this idea that there's such a thing as overnight success. And I don't know any overnight successes. You know, again, I have been working since I was 12. And all of
Starting point is 01:01:01 those experiences, you know, are so formative and they're so in me. And it's like every single thing you get leverage, right? And when I talk about leverage, I don't just mean taking something that you've been given. It's like, what do you have? Well, I have my reputation, right? And that reputation for delivering great business when I was in the agency business allowed me to go and raise money. I didn't know what private equity was. I would never have known how to go and raise funds. I went to a client that I'd consistently delivered good business for in my agency and I said, hey, do you want to invest three million dollars in my business? And he was like,
Starting point is 01:01:34 no girl, I'll give you less than that, but I'll invest in you. But you know, I think that that is the thing, you know, you've got to be creative and you've got to work with what you've got. And I think so often we focus on what we don't have and where our lack is. And actually there is just that that is not worth your energy. You've got to figure out like, where are you? What do you have? And how do you leverage from that point? So who says you work with your husband? How is that? Because when it's so personal, that's your husband. That's my husband. That's who you wake up with. What?
Starting point is 01:02:05 Like, how is that? How are you guys able to separate? Well we're not. Let me be honest with that. There's very little separation. The truth is that my husband was actually like one of my first investors. So I worked in a company where I set up a joint venture with them and eventually years later and down the line I ended up marrying
Starting point is 01:02:25 one of those guys. Great job security. Best ROI he ever had in his goddamn life. I have returned that investment. But I think that what's important about that is that we had a professional relationship before we ever had our personal relationship. My husband's Swedish and in Swedish culture is a very matriarchal culture. They really have so much respect for women, but they also really meet women halfway. Like even to the point like in Sweden, when you take maternity
Starting point is 01:02:55 leave, it's given to the couple. So if the woman wants to, you know, you get a year and if the woman wants to take six months and the husband takes six months, that's how you do it. But it's very usual in society that that happens. But what that means is that I've got someone who meets me, you know, he respects my ambition and he respects the fact that we have four kids, we have four kids together and we do that together. So there's no expectation that I'm going to take some leading role and nor do I quite honestly. We're still kicking in with Emma Greed, entrepreneur, founding partner of Skims and she has a new podcast inspired with Emma Greed.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Charlamagne, where did you learn financial literacy? You know, that's a really good question. I think when you come from scarcity, you have a really good appreciation for money because we didn't have any. And so I knew the price of everything, right? Because it's like I knew what we didn't have. And my mom would budget, like she'd sit at the table and she'd be like like This is what we offer groceries. This is what we've got to keep the lights on So I knew what money was and I used to see her back in those days
Starting point is 01:03:51 You know you'd write checks and so I'd see her do the checkbook and I'd be on the calculator And so money was just like a thing that I understood at a very young age And also it was cash then right so you'd like count the cash and that gave me a relationship with it I'm dyslexic and so I had a very hard time when I started my business, understanding how the money would link together like between the margins and the profit and the EBITDA, I would be, to me it was like scrambled eggs. And then again, when I got into EECOM, everything is acronyms, you know, you're talking about AOV and the UPP and the LOV and I would be like, I don't get this. Mm hmm.
Starting point is 01:04:24 But I think the thing for me is that I'm naturally curious and so I would just ask a lot of questions. And I learned by just asking, like just like I'm never scared to be the dumbest person in the room. I'm like, what does that mean? How does that work? How does that go together?
Starting point is 01:04:38 And so I just like learned on the fly. And I think that being naturally cautious about money meant that even when I got investors, I spent their money like it was my own, meaning that I'm frugal, like I am tight. I'm just holding all the money all the time and I never like flashy with the cash. Even now, when I am a bit flashy with the cash, it's like I know the cost of everything. No one can buy anything in my house and me not be like, what was that? You know, because there's a special price for everything in Bel Air. My toilet breaks, they're like, oh, hi, here's the, you know, there's a special price for everything in Bel Air. My toilet breaks they're like oh hi it's the you know it's the Bel Air price and I'm like
Starting point is 01:05:06 no this is what we're paying you know so I'm like very aware of everything. How much power do you have in these partnerships? Well you know I don't really think about it in terms of power we're partners and we do different things and so I have you know at Good American I'm the CEO so I make all the decisions as a CEO would in any company. In SKIMS it's very very different and Kim plays a very, very hands-on role. My role is across everything product related. So design, merchandising, production, planning, that's a part of the company I run and I
Starting point is 01:05:34 see my role as really like making Kim's vision come true. She's like, this is really what I want to see. I want to make a nipple bra. I'm not going to make the best nipple bra with the best margin and we're going to make hundreds of thousands of them. But that is what I want to see. I want to make a nipple bra. I'm not going to make the best nipple bra with the best margin and we're going to make hundreds of thousands of them. But that is what I do. Question, with your podcast, are you going to have guests on the podcast? I am.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Who's coming on the podcast? We've got so many amazing guests on the podcast. So we launched yesterday with Gwyneth Paltrow and Melody Hobson. And Melody is my business idol. So I really wanted to make sure that we could come out of the gate with someone that I've learned from and also someone that I believe is, you know, Melody is a one of one. She is not just one of the best black business women in the country, she's just one of the best business people in the country, former chair of Starbucks. I mean, she is just so incredible and she
Starting point is 01:06:18 spent her entire career at one place, 30 years in one company. And I think that there's some really amazing learnings for that. She went in as an intern born on the south side of Chicago, you know, one of five kids, five kids, right? She's one of five. And she is just single mom again, the most incredible woman went into this company as an intern and now she owns a very, very meaningful part of a $14 billion, you know, private equity business. And so I look at that and like my mind is blown. And then again, Gwyneth, I felt so interesting because for so many women, they're starting businesses from something that they're passionate about. And also they're trying to do a pivot.
Starting point is 01:06:54 And if you are working your corporate job and you want to just change completely and do something different, I thought she would be a really interesting benchmark to look at. How do you just completely rip it up and say, I'm going to start something new? So I was really, I was really happy to have those first, first people. But I also think that women have a lot to learn from men, right? In business. And so I'm really going to be focused on a lot of different men coming through. And so we have Michael Rubin, I've got Mark Cuban, I have the wonderful you and Charlotte Maines coming on and I'll be so happy. So I've just got like a bunch of really incredible guests and it's really about people that I know, I respect and those that I aspire to. Love that.
Starting point is 01:07:37 He asked you if you have any guests because you can talk. You're a good talker. One is hoping, yeah. How do you evaluate celebrity influence versus product quality when you're trying to build brand trust? How do I evaluate it? I mean, it's an interesting question actually. To me, I don't even think about, listen, influence will only take you so far, right? You can drive a customer to product once. So I could love you Charlemagne and you could be trying to sell me something and because of the strength of how much I love you, I'll go and buy your product. If your product doesn't perform for me, I'm not buying
Starting point is 01:08:12 it again. And the strength of a business is the strength of the lifetime value of that customer. How many times are they coming back to you over and over again? And that's how you build affinity with customers. And so so after a while the influence is useless if the product is not good. So the two only work in terms of the acceleration of the talent can only work for the product if the product is good. Because customers are too smart, like no one's going to buy things that are not good. I want to ask you something about skims again, I remember there's a couple of years. You love skims.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Yes. You wearing skims? My wife wears them all the time. Do you wear skims? I love the way my wife looks in it. Okay, but are you wearing skims? You know we have men's. Throw away your... I'm thick now.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Once again, we have all the sizes. We don't discriminate. I'll get you some products. Okay. Can you get in some products please for this afternoon? I'm gonna hold you to that now. Absolutely. I will deliver. But I remember them saying Kanye was a ghost creative director for Skims. Oh Lord. You're not gonna do that to me today, are you? I don't know. I just remember seeing it. When I come here with my energy and my voice and all my things, I'm here to talk about me.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Don't do that to me now. please. Okay. Please, good Lord. What do you- You ain't getting the skims down. I'm just having a question. By the way, I'm here for them skims. By the way, she handled it the way you should handle it. When you don't want to answer a question, just don't answer it.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Okay. There's nothing wrong with it. I love it. As these DEI initiatives are being rolled back in government and corporations, have those pressures changed how you approach DEI for your business? Absolutely not. In fact never and I really lean into that because I know that honestly it's
Starting point is 01:09:52 the diversity in my business is a superpower. It's been a superpower for me and you know you guys probably know I'm the chairwoman of the 15% pledge and we work with brands all over this country to essentially advocate for them to take 15% of their annual spend and give that to black owned businesses. And so we've put over $14 billion of opportunity into the hands of black founders and entrepreneurs all over this country. And when I look at those, this is a business proposition.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Isn't a nice to have, this isn't a fun to do, this isn't a tick on some chart or somewhere. This is about having more relevance with your customer base. And I know that if you walk into Sephora now versus walking into Sephora five years ago, it's not just better for black women or women of color who can find a product. It's better for everyone because everyone can go in there and buy those products. Black businesses aren't just for black people, nor are Latino businesses, nor are any businesses. So I actually think that when we talk about some of this stuff, we lose sight of what we're actually talking about. We're talking about more choice, better for customers, and that's what winning looks like. So it's like we really shouldn't, like, I think it's so crazy that people would try to think about these things as like nice to
Starting point is 01:11:00 haves. It's like, do you want to make more money or not? I make more sizes and more colors, I have more customers that behave. Hold on, expound on that. Like, do you ever get tired of explaining why diversity is in the marketing? I get so tired because I'm like, what are we talking about here? It's about numbers. It's about money. It's pretty simple. It's really simple stuff. It's like, we're trying to be more dynamic. We're trying to be more differentiated. We're trying to bring more people through outdoors. Who cares? Who cares who they are? That's right. Right?
Starting point is 01:11:26 Like I don't understand. Yeah, why limit yourself? Why limit yourself? Why not widen the customer base? 100%. Yeah. Wow. There you have it.
Starting point is 01:11:35 I enjoyed this conversation, Emma. Thank you. I enjoyed you guys. Emma Greedy. Now where can they listen to the podcast? You can listen to it everywhere you get your podcasts. Please go, you know Apple anywhere YouTube We're gonna be everywhere and thank you for joining us so much

I just found the things. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of
Starting point is 01:12:19 everything. But what's the latest? On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me! Okay. So Bill Gates, uh, he announced that he is giving away all of his money when he passes away. And I, he actually announced this before back in 2022 that when he passed away that his kids would basically get nothing. Um. He's going to leave him a little something.
Starting point is 01:12:45 So he decided and he announced a plan for how this giveaway is going to happen. So he has an estimated of estimated worth of like $200 billion. Too much damn money. That when he passes away, he says he's going to give it all to charity. So the way that this is going to happen is he's going to shut down the Gates Foundation on December 31st, 2045. That is the foundation that he had started with down the Gates Foundation on December 31st 2045 that is the foundation that he had started with his ex-wife that works on like you know they give back money to like community and in different AIDS so he says that he plans
Starting point is 01:13:16 to give away all of this money over the net over the next 20 years whatp- y'all gotta pay attention. Yo, yo ass gotta pay attention. Just so stupid. What is happening? I know what she meant, Jess. Just keep going. What? What did I- Oh no! Not like that!
Starting point is 01:13:32 I thought it was one of these. No, like four and eight and- Oh my God. I forgot I gotta spell it out very specifically in this room. Wow. Not eight, not that. You gotta say something like that. You gotta see Jess's face. You're picking up the whole Ryan image?
Starting point is 01:13:40 Say my God. I know the list. I know the list. I know the list. I know the list. I know the list. I know the list. I know the list. You gotta say something. You gotta say your name. Say my name. I know the listeners are confused.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Guys, if you're just joining us, the crew went out to see Susan and Kendrick last night, and everybody is twisted. Jess is in law, Charlamagne is drunk, and you are drunk. It's the truth. I just want people to know. No, OK. Let me clarify.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Yes. So the Gates Foundation, which was founded in 2000, along with his ex-wife, Melinda Gates, is an organization that gives money, billions of dollars, every year to health aid, foreign aid, and other public assistance programs. So any aid that helps communities not, mean in my I don't know that specifically but I help out that type of one.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Thank you. Go ahead. But why we get what he has three kids like he's going to get a money to his kids. Well they will get a so there's a percentage I believe it's like because he's like a 1% that he's keeping of his fortune that they will get some of. Only 1%? Yeah, so he's gonna still have 1.62 billion dollars will be left and his kids will get some of that.
Starting point is 01:14:55 You know how much 1% is 200 billion dollars? Yes. Well, you know what, it should go to his kids and his family. He worked hard for that. He has three of our children. He has three children given to his kids in this family. He worked hard for that. He has three of our children He has three children give it to his kids. Kids work hard It is probably is something stuff that we don't know about his kids his kids But what do his kids be doing black family? They're not just gonna give it to them
Starting point is 01:15:13 I don't know exactly what it's kids. They're not gonna leave it to the animals But there's a lot of billionaires that do this like this is yeah, this is like a normal thing for billionaires I don't I don't know if I would do it, but people do this. He's not the first person to do this. I actually think it's a very noble thing to do to spread your wealth around. Like if you got that much money, why hoard it or why just pass it all on to your family?
Starting point is 01:15:33 You give your family a little bit, they gonna be fine. You got more than enough for them to be fine and then you give it to other people who need it. I mean, you can do whatever you want with your money, but I'd rather give it to people like your community that don't have it, that they can start, right? Because we usually don't start from zero. We start from negative. So rather give it to people like your community that don't have it that they can start right because we usually don't start from zero we start from negative so to give it to our own community where they can have a lift in this world I would give
Starting point is 01:15:50 it to him. Well that's what he's doing to his community yeah. Well no I mean okay so look he said that spending down his fortune will help to save and improve many lives which will have a positive ripple effect and you know because a lot of the foundations in the different aids the financial aid the foreign aids that they're helping there these are people in need Give us some to the mental wealth Alliance, all right Mental health and physical health yeah, that's a part of it. So yeah now He also says to that this way by doing it this way
Starting point is 01:16:29 He can make sure that his intentions are honored So the way that he would have lived his life after his passing and what he would have because they've been doing this This is money to do it. What he wants with it beautiful. You doing it? What you would give away all your wealth at pass? You doing it? What? You would give away all your wealth at Pasadena? I got a long family. No, I'm going to try to live forever.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Alright, go ahead, Jase. To get that money. If I work for it, no. Y'all put it in the casket. We're going to need a few of them, but. Jesus Christ. I'm taking it with me. Evie?
Starting point is 01:16:53 I'm going to try to get a big family. I'm going to try to help everybody from Queens. You, what? I know that's right. Why not? You know how much money that is? If you give everybody a million dollars. It's the same thing.
Starting point is 01:17:01 But he's saying, yes, he would. The same thing. Yes, you would do that. Yes. You what? I know that's right. Well, you got you know how much money that is if you give just everybody a million dollars But he's saying the same thing You would do that. Yes. Yes. Okay. I was gonna say that's the same thing charlomane. What you doing? Absolutely Really? He gave it to all his boyfriends I like what bill gage said I would live my life the same way that I would want to live my what do you say?
Starting point is 01:17:21 What'd you say after he died? He said that basically he wants his intentions to be honored No, but you said something he would live the way he would if he was alive or something like that? So I said that he wants his intentions to be honored. So this is him making sure that the way he lives his life in person is happening after he passes away. That's the same, because I like doing stuff like that now. So yes, absolutely.

I feel like if he loses his ac loses excuses, he'll find his results. Damn, that's a ball. If you lose your excuses, you'll find your results.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Let me ask you a question though, because I always wondered this when women say that their baby daddy is a deadbeat. You know, you chose to sleep with him at some point, so did something change? I did, I did. At one point in time, I feel like I got captured into the situation, because people can put up a front by for so long and I mean
Starting point is 01:25:29 and you know once I saw that it was a front yeah you can use the front door and get on through. Damn, how old y'all baby? Yeah he's three or four in December. Well appreciate the blessing that is the child. Yes I child. Yes, I love my baby. He's a great blessing from what we did, but we can see them through. But it was an entire life.

Starting point is 01:26:22 I don't really have any interaction with them. I mean, I've only seen certain things. I wasn't really included in their life or in them taking care of them because they're way before my son. I think we gotta do a double donkey. Yeah. Because baby mama number eight is crazy.
Starting point is 01:26:38 Wow. Yeah, well, I mean, people got eight kids and they take care of their kids. Ooh. Yeah, so that's no excuse, you know what I'm saying? So if he was trying to put on a facade, like I said, that can only last us for so long. No, I'm talking about you.
Starting point is 01:26:52 And I mean, once I found- No, I'm talking about you. I mean, I have four children and I take very well care of my eight children, even if I had a fifth, sixth, or seventh, or tenth child, I would take great care of my kids. No, you're not listening to what I'm saying. I'm saying that you knew he had seven kids,
Starting point is 01:27:07 so you chose to let him hit raw and become baby mama number eight. Absolutely, absolutely I did. Yes. I just feel like it was under false pretenses, but it's all good. You learn your lesson, you move on. You're living, you learn.
Starting point is 01:27:21 You have some choices. You live it, you learn. How's it going, mama? Y'all been talking, y'all talked to her for three minutes. Could you stop hanging up on my people?

You a damn liar, one on them. **** you. You mistake me for my daughter Ashley. Shout out to my daughter Ashley. She's Playing a gay wedding and so they asked me to do it right and I don't know nothing about playing no gay wedding So I went straight to Pinterest and picked out a gay cake with the rainbow in the middle and I said I said y'all
Starting point is 01:43:19 Like this cake. She's like that's gay That's gay. I'm like, what the f*** are you? Right, right. They don't like you to just put gay. Just because she's gay don't mean she need a gay cake. She's like she want a straight cake. I'm like y'all ain't doing straight s***. Now you gotta put a dildo on the top. Like a candle, instead of a candle have a dildo on the top.
Starting point is 01:43:36 A dildo with a tuck seeder and a gown on it. That's a good ass idea. But does she want to wear a gown or does she want to wear a tuck? No, my daughter is the film. I think she do the **** down because she's so rough. I think she the one that put on the scrap on. But really, she's a girl. Thank God because my daughter look just like me. I don't want my daughter look like no **** with my face.
Starting point is 01:43:57 Did you know it was going to happen? Like she come to y'all and ask you like I want her?
