Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

Hello, who's this?
This is Dee.
Hey, Dee.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I need to talk to my fellow lesbian.
What's up, Dee?
How you doing, Dee?
Yes.
How you doing?
Now, Charlotte, big brother almighty, what does the luxury size community do to you?
The who community?
The luxury size community, a.k.a. the big bag.
Oh, luxury size.
I like that, see?
Oh, I love that, too.
We was talking about what word should we use to describe people that are heavy-set.
Instead of big-back.
I like luxury size.
So our size is a luxury because we choose food instead of drugs and bullying.
But what we do to you?
Nothing.
Listen, here's the thing.
I didn't even know when Jessalarius was telling that story, I didn't even know the woman was a part of the big-back community.
I just said it sounded like big back behavior.
She is a luxury size sister, but here's the thing.
I know more slim chicks that ain't got played than that.
They don't discriminate.
Okay.
And then on top of that, he was paying her bills.
He was paying her bills?
Usually it's the other way around.
Usually it's the big back paying the bill.
He was paying the bill.
Listen, is big back really offensive? And I don't like luxury. I love the luxury size. Usually it's the big back paying the bill. Luxury? See what's paying the bill. Listen, is big back really offensive though?
And I don't like luxury.
I love the luxury side.
I like luxury side too.
We choose food.
But luxury just means expensive, don't it?
Don't mean big.
It's inflation right now. Food is expensive.
It's a luxury right now.
Yeah, luxury means bigger, usually.
Oh, yeah, in a sense.
In a sense, yeah, luxury is big.
I like big. I think big back is true.
Come on, T'Challa.
You're a mental health advocate.
You can't put that narrative out there
like we just all dead kids.
That's not the case.
Well, you're right.
But I just said in that case, it did
sound like big back behavior.
And I was right.
So is it a stereotype if it's true?
I didn't know she was big.
They just don't like the term big back.
But see, but luxury means extravagant living.
It means opulence. I like extravagant living it means opulence i like extravagant too extravagant size it's not extravagant just means oh my god all
that sounds big though luxurious premium premium premium size premium all that sounds good you
call them 93 octane like i'm just saying premium back premium back hello who's this yo it's your
boy jay from pa PA Jay from PA good morning
Hello
Yeah I hear you
Alright man I just want to let everybody know
Especially the brothers out there
Especially us black men man
Go home man
Go home that overtime
It ain't worth it that money
It's not worth it man
I'm serious bro
Like
What if you needed
Huh?
What if you needed
To keep the lights on at home
Listen
Listen
Listen
So man you know
Listen
Family more important
Than anything bro
I agree
I've listened
For a year straight
I was working doubles
Almost every day
I almost lost my family
Behind this bro
And she simply told me
She was like
Yo you just simply weren't there.
Damn.
That's more important than anything right now.
Like, I'm fighting right now to get my family back.
Kids, wife, all that, bro.
And I realized, like, yo, that money ain't important.
Like, you know what the kids miss?
They miss me being there.
That's right.
You feel what I'm saying?
They ain't worried about that dollar bill.
Them kids don't care about how much money I'm making.
They going to remember that time I spent with them. If the wife get cut off, they ain't going to think about, oh, dad ain't have about that dollar bill. Them kids don't care about how much money I'm making. They're going to remember that time I spent with them.
If the lights get cut off, they ain't going to think about, oh, dad ain't had the money for that.
They're going to think, yo, dad was playing with us with the flashlight.
Well, you don't want the lights to go off.
Go home, man.
But you're right.
You got to make time for your family.
Absolutely, positively.
Now, doing doubles is the most important thing.
That's crazy, man.
Yeah, like I'm fighting for it right now.
You know what I'm saying?
And I can't blame her. Like, it's my fault. like i'm fighting for it right now you're saying and and i can't blame
her like it's my fault i wasn't there but you know you you can't and i don't want to you know
you're putting a lot on yourself but you know as a as a father you know the first thing that we
think is we got to protect and provide and provide means a lot and especially in this crazy world
where people have been losing their jobs things have been messed up so you just want to make sure
that you can pay for school you can pay pay for activities. You can pay for your house, your car, and all those things.
So don't beat yourself up too much.
But definitely make time.
You're talking about activities.
This brother right here, he just want to keep some food on the table and a roof over his head.
And sadly, sometimes that's all it is.
That seems like the bare minimum.
But it's really not.
It's actually a whole lot.
Especially what you're saying.
What you're saying that you want to spend more time with your family, man.
So I think we got to shift our mindset.
A lot of times we think just being able to provide food
and keep a roof over their head is the bare minimum.
It's not.
That is a lot.
That's right.
A whole lot.
Not.
That's right.
Time is more important than anything.
That's right.
I don't switch up jobs.
I took a lower-paying job.
I'm working third shifts so I could be home with them all day.
Like, I don't care about no money no more.
I respect that.
And only them.
I respect it.
Only them.
I respect it, my brother.
Salute to you, man, and salute to being a stand-up
man for your family, brother. Absolutely.
Have a good one, brother. Hey, hey, Charlamagne,

I'm confused
On why they put me On the news But you know Man I got a PR man I don't know what He got me doing I don't know why I was on there, brother. I'm confused on why they put me on the news.
But you know, man, I got a PR, man.
I don't know what he got me doing.
I don't know.
I just agree with what they tell me to do.
I showed up.
I'm showing up.
I didn't even wear the right attire.
So I just was.
Right.
I like how you didn't act like you knew what was going on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You just kept repeating it.
I let them know straight up.
I didn't know what the hell they were talking about.
I loved it.
Negotiations. Yeah, yeah, negotiations. Now when you talk about remorse. I know straight up. I didn't know what the hell they were talking about. I loved it. Negotiations.
Yeah, yeah, negotiations, man.
Now, when you talk about remorse.
I know, yeah.
I know they talking about something.
So I'm like, hey, I'm going to just try to blend in.
I ain't even.
I'm not going to try to do too much.
I'm just trying to blend in on here, man.
With the hoodie on.
I'm going to already be tapped into coaches.
I'm sure Ari knew who Drewski was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Somewhat, somewhat.
That dude, he's very hip.
And he knows what's going on. He was reciting lyrics and stuff behind the scenes. Yep. Yeah, I, yeah. Somewhat, somewhat. That dude, he's very hip and he knows what's going on. He was
reciting lyrics and stuff behind the scenes.
Yeah, I don't know what that got.
And it worked for you because, I mean, you still ended up
getting a viral moment. Yeah.
And it was funny.
Yeah, so the PR
ended up working. It was like reverse of what it
was supposed to do. I think we were supposed to be on there talking
about me going to the White House
or, yeah, dogs in the White House. You went to the dogs in the way yeah I went like a year ago you had a
dog no it's I don't know why they had me I guess the Secret Service dog had
somebody multiple yeah but they're not putting it down so it's like and then
when I said that he looked at me like, why would you?
Yeah.
So I was like, let's just move on to the next.
I wanted them to talk about what they had to talk about because I was like, hey, f***
the subject y'all had me talking about.
I don't even want to talk about that.
Y'all just keep doing y'all.
But you think the dog should be killed?
If it had been a brother, it was any other dog.
Put down.
I like how he tried to make it sound worse.
Drewski hates dogs and wants all of them to die.
Chill, chill, chill.
In the White House.
Jesus. How many people did the dog white it was a lot yeah i think it's like 24 anybody else's dog they to put your dog down but it was like secure uh secret service the first day to put a muzzle
on them then they would put that dog down if it was a black dog a pit bull or something gone yeah
it was all at the first bite damn and that 20 24, come on now. So you got a new show.
What could have been out?
It's an amazing show.
It's based on, I was influenced by P. Diddy.
And when he had the Making the Band show, I saw it.
Well, yeah, no, that's, bro, see, that's why I can't look this way when I'm talking.
That's why I said P. Diddy.
I said P. Diddy.
He was like, you said. And, and, and.
Nah, nah, nah.
He did Making the Band.
You know, we was watching that earlier.
You know.
Yeah, they done.
I love Making the Band.
Y'all wasn't watching Making the Band.
We was watching Making the Band.
So yeah, it played a big part.
And I really wanted to do something based on it.
I hate this place.
It was too much space between.
I said what I was supposed to.
It was.
It was.
You got to get to that quick.
You got to get to that quick.
I need to say Making the Band first.
There you go.
I was influenced by Making the Band.
There you go.
The show.
There you go.
And yeah, nah, it's an amazing show.
It's pretty much like a comedic version of that
kinda like
how Chappelle did
when he did like a
a skit on
making the band
back in the day
but um
yeah we had
contestants stay in there
for seven days
they competed for
$50,000
um
and you come out of pocket
to do that stuff right
yeah yeah yeah man
but you know
nah we had companies help us.
We had Raising Cane's put up the $50,000 for the contestants to win.
You serious?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I swear.
And we had Nike participating and putting in some money,
PrizePix, Icebox Jewelry putting in some money too as well, yeah.
Nice, shout out to Icebox.
So, I mean, I see you putting it out on YouTube,
and some people would ask why.
But if you're getting your own sponsors and you're making your own money, like why chase behind these networks and these streaming services?
Is that the thought process?
Yeah, kind of.
Because it's like we tried to pitch it to all these big networks anyway and nobody believed in it.
They were like, yeah, what is could have been records?
Yeah, there's a lot of, you know, them older executives that don't really know.
They're not really hip and they just like we heard this guy's funny, but we don't know what the hell Could've Been Records is, you know?
So every time I tried to explain it, nobody understood what I was talking about.
So I'm like, damn, we probably just go ahead and do this ourselves.
We went to every meeting.
I'm talking about, I'm taking Zooms.
It's taking an hour.
I'm explaining it for like an hour, breaking it down.
We got a PowerPoint.
I'm pointing that stuff.
I'm making them laugh.
So I'm like, oh, we got this.
Nobody believed it. They all like, nah,
we'll pass. We'll pass. That's one of your most popular
sketches, huh? Yeah, I know.
We got proof of concept. I'm like, they're doing views.
We get millions of views.
But you know, they
you know. What happened with the
show with you and Kevin Hart? Oh, man.
They took that off, man.
We were supposed to do that.
Writer's Strike. Writer's Strike. So during Writer's Strike, they took that down, man. We were supposed to do that. Writer's Strike.
Writer's Strike.
So during Writer's Strike,
they took that down, man.
They just got rid of it.
I don't know what the real, real reason was,
but yeah, it was a show based on past high school,
being a high school senior.
And yeah, I came on there and talked about it with y'all.
But yeah, I really don't know the full reason,
but they took that off, man. I don't know. Damn. damn yeah low-key pissed me off a little bit but yeah that's what
it is just because you know i i don't i really don't know the full writer's strike reason you
know i'm saying so and i feel like nobody fully knew exactly what was going on with writer's
strike and all that so i think uh yeah they might have used that as an excuse i really don't know
but yeah yeah we we we had everything rolling.
But I think about you with Sketch, right?
And I think about, you know, because I was born in 1978.
So I've seen a lot of great Sketch shows and Living Color, Chappelle's show.
I get gas and we start talking about time.
But I think about it because you are very good at it, right?
Yeah. but i think about it because you are very good at it right yeah do you think you need a tv show to validate you to where people start talking about you in that way like they talk about the
key and the pills the chapelles they're in living colors um not not really i think because social
media is so powerful now bro like without social media and i'm sure she noticed too as well like social
medias might be bigger than TV now like it used to be the goal that oh we gonna
get the TV we gonna do this big thing but it's like when you really think
about it majority of the stars right now are like the social media and people we
even got twitch streamers who are making bigger bags than rappers that's what I'm
saying like in aiden ross
these these dudes are really making a lot of money they're paying the rappers like real show fees to
come onto their stream so it's like i don't know this is different days but i think that that's
what made me think i don't really need anything to justify anything because it's like damn we're
doing it now like i will pull up to a city and say, we're doing Could Have Been Records tomorrow,
and thousands of people are out there
just lined up trying to audition.
So it's like, that's really the goal for us.
All right, we got more with Drewski.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Drewski.
Charlamagne? You know, I wanted to ask you about Could Have Been Records. Like, you talkagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Drewski. Charlamagne?
You know, I wanted to ask you about Could Have Been Records.
Like, you talk a lot about the 360 deals and the bad contracts.
Do you actually talk to artists about that?
Yeah, hell yeah.
I like to tell people straight up, we're going to f*** you over.
That's why I said I was inspired by P. Diddy.
That's what I was talking about.
Why the f*** do y'all keep looking at me like that?
When I say that, I'm saying that I'm inspired by the way he was talking to his people oh well I say that I like the way that he was
talking to the people at his label on the show you know like yeah so that's
the same way we do our business yeah yeah we tell you straight up yeah if you
know you getting over from jump what the problem is you can't you know the contract when you got in that's***ed over from jump, what the problem is? You can't, yeah.
You knew the contract
when you got in here.
That's true.
You knew what it was.
By the way, that's true
even if you don't tell him that
because him not f***ing read it.
Go get you a lawyer,
read the contract.
Nah, nah, nah.
They can't all read though.
Don't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think like teachers,
students, all that, man.
Like we always used to, I used to around so much
that everybody thought everything I said was a joke. You know, so it's normal. But, we always used to, I used to f*** around so much that everybody thought

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

People love that.
Yeah, but I think he's talking about locking them down.
Yeah, that's what slavery was all about.
Locking them down.
No, man, you know what I'm saying.
Like, locking them down.
Like, nobody can lock them down.
You're okay with slavery, is what you said.

Man, it's topic time.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us,
we were talking about something Benzino said
in an interview.
Let's hear it.
I can't follow her Instagram
because she could be in a bikini twerking or something.
But I love her to death.
You know what I'm saying?
So I want to be able to you know
I'm saying visualize her the way I want to visualize her as my daughter not necessarily
as an artist or as coy or you know I mean I don't want to visualize my daughter like that
my mother has followed and unfollowed me on Instagram quite a few times over the years
I noticed those for similar reasons for sure yeah so we're asking 800-585-1051 as a parent
how do you handle following your kids on social media uh for myself only my two oldest kids have
social media and they really don't post too much and anything my daughter does post she usually
runs by me before she posts anyway but if I did have a child that was uh twerking and
and posting you know bikini pics all the time that would be uncomfortable it would be uncomfortable i
think it would be i think i would have to unfollow him and not necessarily because of that well
because of that as well but also because of the comments too yeah my daughter don't have social
media um you know but your daughter's young oh 15 i mean i have four daughters I got four daughters, 15, 8, 5, and 2.
But, you know, yeah, social media is just something that I don't even ever want them to get into.
You know, I just see where it's going.
I see where it's headed.
I see where it's at now.
No need to even ever, you know, give your brain, your time, and attention away to that thing.
But, yeah, I can totally understand where Benzino is coming from.
That would be super uncomfortable, you know, to open up Instagram and, you know, see your daughter doing that.
But that's also just the, I don't want to say the price.
That's not the right word.
But that's just also life, right?
That's kind of the price you pay for fame.
Yes, it is.
No, that's the price you pay for having a daughter.
Your daughter is going to grow up and your daughter is going to grow up and be an object of desire.
Because guess what?
The person you had that daughter with was somebody else's daughter.
But it's a lot worse that she's a celebrity and she's famous and she's an artist.
Even if she wasn't.
I get what you're saying.
Because there's more eyes on her now.
Sure, but I don't even think that's what he's concerned about.
He's just concerned about opening up Instagram and seeing his daughter twerking in a bikini.
That would make anybody uncomfortable.
I don't care if you're a mailman or a famous rapper.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's just, it's embarrassing.
But it works both ways.
Because, you know, as an adult, there's things that I'm sure that you could do that embarrass
your daughter.
Right.
You know?
So, I mean, we all have to be cognizant of that.
We all represent each other.
Like, envy is very embarrassing.
Like, you know what I mean?
I know that, you know, Logan and Madison are very embarrassed
by their father
at certain points.
I'm sure.
But they love you.
Yeah.
You know?
But I haven't posted myself
in a bikini twerking yet.
Oh, you've done way worse.
Alexandria.
Way worse.
I've seen it.
Hello.
Hey, what's your name?
Alexandria.
You just said that.
Well, Alexandria,
that we're talking about,
do you follow your kids
on social media?
I do not.
So I have two kids.
I'm a little girl and a little boy.
The boy isn't biologically mine.
So he's going through, like, you know, trying to find himself and all that.
Oh, Lord.
So.
Is he talking?
Is he talking?
There are things I can't do in front of him.
So I don't, I do not.
Oh, so you don't.
He can't follow me on Snapchat, Instagram, no Facebook.
Oh, so you don't follow him because you be wilding out.
Sex.
Oh, so you be, hold on now, hold on now.
So mama be wilding out.
So you be showing your ass on social media.
Not that though.
But I mean like, you know, on bikinis or whatever, because I am married.
I'm a married woman.
I'm faithful as hell.
So it's like, it's nothing too crazy.
I don't know.
You don't want to turn him on?
I'm trying to, I'm confused.
Like, what's going on?
I don't want to, like, okay, so we had a little situation where if I'm in the bathroom, he'll bust in there,
and he'll put his hands over his eyes, and he'll open two fingers.
Oh, so he's trying to see something.
He's trying to see something.
So he's trying to see something.
This is step-mommy.
So this ain't mommy-mommy.
This is step-mommy.
No.
This is yes.
Oh, he on Pornhub watching them videos that got them titles like,
got left alone with Stepmama.
I don't want to think about stuff like that, Charlamagne.
That's what the hell going on.
And Stepmama, let me just ask him, not being rude.
Are you, is your body, you have big boobs and a big rear?
So, I'm like, I have a big butt.
Yeah.
I'm not, I don't have like big boobs, but still I have a body.
Why should he be talking like a white man?
Why, why, why?
Did you think he was talking to a white man just now?
Do you have a big rear?
I'm trying to say a nice rear that's respectable.
I didn't want to say big ass.
I'm trying to be respectable.
Speak our language.
She a mom.
She understand.
She a mom.
She know you're not disrespecting her.
I don't want y'all to be disrespectful.
I don't know what to tell you, ma'am.
You got that horny little boy running around your house.
I just want people to understand, like, it's nothing wrong with that.
You know, because at the end of the day, you want to see your children as children,
but you also want your children to see you as their parents.
That's right.
You need to get a lock on your door, though, too, mama.
You need to get a lock. We're not too, mama. We're not gonna have...
See, now I got a
lock on my door. Like, a real
lock. Because, you know, like...
You'd be in your panty drawer.
So, like, you know...
You'd be in your panty. You better count your panties.
What are you talking about, man? Because if he's into
mom like that, I'm sure he grabbing her panties.
Well, you are projected and you need to
shut up because you telling a lot about yourself.
What are you talking about?
I don't know how you took that down.
She just said she runs into the bathroom and covers her eyes.
That is totally different than what you're talking about.
That's totally different.
How old is he, ma'am?
He's 11.
He's a little boy. He's a little horny little boy.
Yeah.
I understand. Jesus Christ. Alright, Alexandria. Alright, y'all have a little boy. He a little horny little boy. Yeah. I understand. Jesus Christ.
All right.
All right, Alexandria.
All right, y'all have a good week.
Damn.
We have Nicole on the line.
Nicole, good morning.
Good morning.
How you feeling, Nicole?
Peace, Nicole.
I'm feeling well.
How about you, gentlemen?
Good, good, good.
So we're asking, how do you handle following your kids on social media?
Well, my daughter is 15, and she has like probably four or five accounts.
One account that her father and I get to see.
One that she shows people that she really, quote unquote, doesn't deal with like that.
One that her friends can see.
One that she actually uses for certain posting.
So we really don't know where to go.
We just only have one that we look at really.
How did you figure out she has five different accounts?
Because when I asked her, I sent you something.
Did you see it?
And she said, no, where did you send it?
And I said, well, what do you mean?
Where did you send it?
I have this.
She said, oh yeah, those people, I don't deal with them no more like that.
So I created another page and send it to this. Or you send it to these two i'll get that and so she has
multiple accounts and i just can't keep up wow are you calling from baltimore yes i am yeah i
heard the t and uh it was something else you said i heard it i heard ee at the end of a few words. Yes.
Hello, who's this?
This is your boy Sterling Stacks, man.
What's good?
Sterling Stacks!
How you feeling?
What's up, brother? How you doing, Charlemagne?
What's up, my guy?
I ain't talking to you in a minute.
Yeah, man, good meeting, man.
Congratulations on everything, man.
The Black Effect joint, man, the publishing thing, all that, man.
Thank you, King.
Salute to you, brother.
You rep the state well.
Thank you, brother.
I see you all day. So we asking, how do you handle following your kids on social media, bro? Man, I'm that, man. Thank you, King. Salute to you, bro. You ready to stay well. Thank you, brother. I see you all day.
So we asking, how do you handle following your kids on social media, bro?
Man, I'm lucky, man.
Luckily, my daughter ain't that raunchy.
You know, she ain't ghetto.
You know, I was worried about it at first.
But, you know, after following for a little bit, I seen that, you know,
she don't do nothing crazy.
You know what I mean?
Like, so it's a little bit easier.
I mean, she's 29.
So, you know, she don't, you know, she out.
She drinking.
You know, she partying with the girls,
but her clothes ain't never too revealing.
But if I do see her with too many cups, I will shoot her a text.
I wonder if she know to behave because daddy watching.
I wonder if that helps.
Parents following the kids. I think everybody watching.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I think her mom follows her, you know what I mean? Her aunties, you know.
But we ain't raising her like that, you know.
So, now, some of the younger girls I see, I don't know how their parents do it.
Now, if she was a little bit, you know, doing, like, you know, thongs and bikinis, I'd have to unfollow.
I totally get it.
All right.
Thank you, brother.
Well, what's the moral of the story?
I don't know.
I don't have kids on social media.
I don't know.
But I do. I think Sterling kids on social media. I don't know. But I do.
I think Sterling Stacks brought up a good point.
I think that if kids know their parents are following them, and vice versa.
If parents know your kids are following them, I think we're all more aware of what we're putting on social media.
So I think that is good.
We probably should all police each other like that.
Absolutely.
All right.
It was The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I think that is good. We should probably police, should all police each other like that. Absolutely. All right. It was the breakfast club.
Good morning.
The breakfast club.
Morning,
everybody is DJ and V just hilarious.
Charlemagne,
the guy,
we are the breakfast club.
We got some special guests in the building from owning Manhattan.
We have Ryan Sirhan,
Fisher Lee and Jeffrey St.
Arman.
Welcome.
Did I say your last name right?
You did.
You said it right.
All right. Just make it sure.
Welcome. How's it going, everybody? Good. We're good. Great, man. Thanks. Did I say your last name right? You said it right. All right, just making sure. Welcome.
How's it going, everybody?
Good, good.
We're good.
Great, man.
Thanks.
Start with you, Ryan.
So if you don't know Ryan Serhan, of course, from Million Dollar Listing, you are a huge
real estate agent across the country.
What made you leave?
You look like you used to lead a boy band.
I tried, man.
It didn't work.
I did a soap opera when I first moved to New York City.
That's why I first moved to New York in 2006.
They killed me off. My grandmother killed me actually. And then I ran out of money.
And that's why I got into real estate back in 2008. Smart man. So you left Million Dollar
Listing. Why? What happened with Million Dollar Listing? We did it for 10 years. We were nominated
for two Emmys. I mean, I built my whole career off the back of that TV show. And it was a total
accident. I went to an open casting call with 3,000 real estate agents in 2010. That's how that show happened. Really? But yeah, then in 2020, I started my own company
and Bravo said, listen, million dollar listing is a format, right? That follows three agents as you
do deals. That's what people expect. It doesn't follow two agents doing deals and then one guy
running his own company. So what do you want to do? And I said, maybe this is time to move on to
the next chapter. So then I immediately called Netflix and I said,
hey, listen, I have an idea.
Start my own company.
I just took down this building in Soho.
I'm going to wrap my name in it.
I've got a lot of crazy, crazy agents
that are going to start working for me.
Like the people.
Stay crazy one more time.
That's just so heavy.
Stay crazy one more time.
And they said, listen, make a presentation,
send it over to us.
We did.
And we started shooting that show in 2022,
and here we are two years later.
Now, you guys make being a real estate agent look easy,
but it's not that easy.
It's not easy.
It's not easy.
So how did you guys get your start?
Not Ryan,
you get your start in Tricia and Jeffrey in real estate.
Well, we're both from different careers.
Jeff is a producer,
Emmy Award winning producer.
Multiple Emmy Awards.
Let's be clear.
Okay.
He carries them around with him everywhere.
Talk that talk.
Let's make it clear. They're everywhere, trust.
And I ran businesses in Brooklyn.
So we were both transitioning at the same time when we met.
We both thought that real estate was the next thing.
We were coming out of a recession.
It just made natural sense to us.
And we met in real estate.
Yeah.
And Ryan reached out maybe five years into my career and was like, we should meet.
This is something we should do.
I didn't even realize he had started a new firm.
And then I started studying that.
And we met.
And next thing I know, I'm in front of a casting crew.
And they're following us around.
And I do think you're going to see real real estate here.
Because I don't know how to sugarcoat anything for you.
Our job is hard.
And we work our asses off.
So you will see that. There's just no way to make that look different no I'll just say and
Trisha's being super modest like she had multiple um polish bars the name of the brand it was a big
brand in Brooklyn she had a huge following so it was just the perfect synergy of like the
entrepreneurial spirit that she has and the and me with the television and the marketing background
so it was a good mix and then going through everything to get to Sirhan.
We ultimately came to Sirhan. It was just like a good
fit with having studios there, what Ryan
provides there. It really makes our stuff
different. And to Trisha's point about
the show, the show is as real
as it gets. And we could speak
to it not being easy, because it wasn't easy
for us. It's like, I want to be like seven, eight
years in. It took a while to get to this point.
It wasn't like overnight, all of a sudden we're selling you know multiple million five
ten million dollars yeah you start like my first house was a hundred thousand dollar sale it took
six months for it to happen how long was it that was eight years ago wow i worked on that longer
and harder than any other deal no money people don't understand so my daughter recently graduated
from nyu and and she's she jumped into the real estate game.
It's like having another wife that doesn't leave, right?
She just because she doesn't get paid unless she sells something.
And if it takes two months, there's two months of not getting paid, of paying for cars, paying for gas, showing people properties.
It's a lot.
It can take two years sometimes.
Yeah, it takes a lot of work.
But I feel bad for her.
But the good thing about it is she loves it. So, it takes a lot of work. But I feel bad for her, but the good thing about it
is she loves it,
so she wants to do it.
Right.
So how long did it take for you
to sell your first property?
I didn't do any business
for six months,
and I worked every single day
while running my beauty business
at the same time.
So I had a 7 a.m.
to 11 o'clock schedule
for six months,
and I didn't make a dollar.
Jeff.
I would say somewhere
around the same time.
The big difference is that
I'm like a year ahead and be going to have two years.
So as she was going through that, I was like, listen, it'll come together.
Just keep doing what you're doing.
I was like, I hate it here.
Yeah.
She's like, I'm not getting any results.
Something's happening.
I was like, listen, you're going to do a lot better than people who are in the business
right now.
Just keep head down, keep going.
And that's the same thing I tell your daughter.
You know, just, it's going to be difficult.
It's going to be challenges, but just if you in it and you really learn the business and that's what's really key.
Learn the business and know it because this isn't like again, this isn't fake.
Like we know the business. Yeah. Well, try to make it look like what he does on TV is the job.
And it's like that's that's just a portion of what's actually happening.
If you sit down with him and have a business conversation, he's going to blow you away far more than anything he does on television.
Yeah. Can you lose yourself in uh the reality tv
of it all like you can you forget what you what got you here i think so i mean i can only speak
to my experience who are you jeffrey yes but i think you know the thing about it is we're and
you'll see this in the show there's like um less experienced agents and more experienced agents
so we're a little bit more not only experienced agents agents, but just life experiences. So it's not like
we're brand new
going into something
and we have like
the TV background
so you kind of know
what it is.
So I can say for us,
it's a little different,
but I can see how
someone else,
you know,
just get caught up
in the modern day.
I want to be an influencer.
I don't even want to
do real estate anymore
and try to have
a whole different career.
But for us,
I think we're in a different space.
And I think we chose
to do this at a time
in our life
where we know who we are. So an audience is not able to tell us who we are and for me i
just wanted to be myself as if i can show up as myself every day that i'm good doing it but i
didn't want to fit into what they thought i should be now covid was was uh lovely for a lot of real
estate agents right interest rates were low everybody was buying banks were giving everybody
money to get it yeah but now it's changed interest rates are high as as i don't know what so how is the business now for a lot of people and what do you tell real
estate agents now that out there and it's difficult right banks are taking a lot to give people money
you got to give your damn near your right arm to get a loan you know interest rates are super duper
high so what do you tell agents now i say stick it out because i feel like i came in when it was
going up and i came when i came in it was like you showed something once and you had an offer but at the entire time I said it will not always be like this it's a
cyclical so I was mentally prepared for where we are now I don't take it that bad because I knew
it couldn't always stay good and in bad times is when really the cream rises to the top so this
opportunity right now if you really again really know the business learn the business you can take
advantage of it now I mean there's a lot of things you could like really guide your clients with like 40 year mortgages. That's an option to
try to deal with the higher interest rates, you know, putting more down conceivably if you can
refinance down the road. You know, there's different options you can do and give good
direction. But for the real estate agent, it's just like head down and keep going because
everyone's right now. I would imagine a lot of people, I don't know the exact number. I'm
certain you do, right? A lot of people have left real estate with the rates being as high as it is
yeah hundreds of thousands yeah yeah so it's a good time so is a global pandemic worth the low
interest rates i'd take a week purge every year like a like a covid remembrance week you know
zero percent interest rates for five days you're not allowed to leave your house just see what
happens to work I had 11 showings like when we were allowed to go after that
seven month break or with a seven month hold yeah there were real estate agents
in the city who had like emergency gear on just in case the police pointed
because you know real estate in New York you were not an essential worker right and they were trying to get you they were trying to like
make you stay inside it was it was complete insanity uh but yeah listen we like if you
were to say hey i want to find a really really resilient person who can kind of stick through
the tough times and the good times let's go make that person in a box you wouldn't put them in a
happy box right that doesn't make resilient people you'd put them in like a really tough box and that's exactly what
we're in right now we're in a tough market so if you can forge yourself through this you know the
good times do come what goes up must come down what goes down must go back up again it's just
back and forth and back and forth yeah all right we got more with ryan sirhan tricia lee and jeffrey
saint armin when we come back the new show owning Owning Manhattan is out right now. We got more
at The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still
kicking it with Ryan Serhan, Tricia Lee and Jeffrey
St. Armand. Owning Manhattan is
out right now on Netflix.
Now what about your families? So we've
seen your family on Million Dollar Listing and how your family
grew and your families.
It takes a lot because you leave your family a lot, right right because when somebody wants to show in or they want to see
a property you can't say hey babe i know we had dinner date but you know because this might be
you know a million dollar profit this might be a couple hundred thousand dollars so how was i was
raising kids and having a family doing real estate for us we work together jeff and i and i'm the
only like balance in the relationship he would he'll be working if his eyes are open.
And I'm kind of a workaholic.
So there's not much help.
But we have boundaries.
There's certain times of the day where we have to shut down.
But we're on vacation and hiding out.
We go to the bathroom and we're gone for 40 minutes.
Everybody knows you're doing a deal and you're not supposed to be on your phone.
Oh, you said going to the bathroom.
I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You know what's going on in your bathroom.
It's her hand.
No, we hide. Well, I usually hide out.
I'll say I'm going to the spa,
but it's like I'm talking, I'm doing calls.
Because the rule is you're not supposed to be working.
Right.
But we both cheat all the time.
Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations
keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my
guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once
we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when
the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know,
follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation
beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my own country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country
willingly gives up
their territory.
I was making a rocket
with a black powder,
you know,
with explosive warheads.
Oh, my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have
the off-road portion
to go.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know
what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth,
gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best
and you're going to figure out
the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
Get the kids in your life excited about history

Hey, everyone.
This is Courtney Thorne-Smith,
Laura Layton,
and Daphne Zuniga.
On July 8th, 1992,
apartment buildings with pools
were never quite the same
as Melrose Place
was introduced to the world.
It took drama and mayhem
to an entirely new level.
We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together.
Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you.
Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are.
Sydney, Allison and Joe are back together on Still the Place
with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place.
So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
We were on a cruise in the Mediterranean last year.
Yeah.
I need facts.
I need facts.
Right around the time when we started shooting the show, which is a whole other reason that
we should talk about.
That's why we missed out on the Central Park Tower incident.
Oh, yeah.
On the cruise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep going on those cruise, man.
Yeah, I know.
That cruise almost caused us $250 billion.
But even in that moment, there was times we stepped away and I'd try to text or something.
Yeah.
And then we don't want to catch each other.
Right, right, right.
So I'm lying to you.
You're lying to me.
Everybody knows everybody's working.
And I don't think this one has any of that.
What about you, Ryan?
You got a wife and kids.
How do you balance that?
Because I've seen a couple times where your wife was upset.
Like, no, this is our time.
And you're like, but this is a deal.
Yeah, it's hard, man.
I mean, when you're in sales, you get addicted to it, you know, because you don't get a salary.
There are no benefits.
And you're only as good as your last deal.
And you can always say, well, when is enough enough?
And sure, you can set a goal for yourself for the year.
But then that next phone call, like you want to pick it up.
You want to see because your life can change like i you know we started sir hint at the end of 2020 it's like i just want to make i went on
rental appointments because i gotta pay bills now covid shut down all of our markets it was awful
especially in new york right there were bodies you know that we had the red cross there were
tents in the park it was nuts i went on a rental appointment um on the upper east side and my wife's
like wear gloves wear hazmat suit this is prevaccines. Met a guy that wanted to rent an
apartment on the Upper East Side. Had a big budget, $30,000 to $40,000 to $50,000 a month.
Started talking to him. Decided not to rent something. Decided, you know what? Maybe I
will go buy something in Florida. And that was a Monday. By Friday, we were in contract on a house
that was asking $140 million.
So had I not picked up that rental call,
I never would have done a nine-figure sale
that at that time in 2020 going into 2021
was the largest transaction in the history
of the state of Florida
and like the top five deal in the United States.
So like-
You hear that?
That can-
Tell her.
I remember this moment.
I remember this moment.
You know, those things can happen, but you do moment. I remember this moment. Those things can happen,
but you do have to set boundaries,
and you especially have to set boundaries
with people that are not your family.
It's not about telling your wife and your kids
that, hey, daddy's at home now,
so let's pay attention to each other.
It's about telling your clients,
like, hey, just so you know,
Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
from six to eight, I'm with my daughter.
I put her down.
Saturdays, like Saturdays for me are dadder days,
unless it's life-threatening.
I'm really focused on Zina.
That's her name.
She's five
and being there for her.
And then she knows.
Dad goes to work the next day.
I don't think she knows
what I do.
If you asked her,
she'd be like,
Daddy sells and dances.
I'm like,
I don't know.
He tapes it.
Yeah, exactly.
He films it.
She'll take my phone
and she'll pick it up
and look at my phone
and be like,
Hi, I'm Zina Serhant
thank you for watching
please like and subscribe
and I'm like
no
no it's happening
terrible
so how do you guys deal with
because of course
you're on the show
so people know who you are
how do you deal with people
that just want to
don't necessarily want to
buy something
but just want to hang out
that has to happen a lot
I mean it's happened to me
now for 12 years
these guys are going to
have to go through it now
for the first time ever
and you got to be super careful.
Wasting your time is
terrible. What's worse
is when people have malicious
intent, and they do.
Has it happened with you before? Oh, yeah, absolutely.
We've had FBI involved. We've had stalkers.
We had to move offices once.
Our home addresses are scrubbed.
You don't hurt anybody.
People get obsessed. People impersonate anybody like yeah but people get obsessed people
impersonate him every day they watch you know tv shows and you know bravo is american for the most
part and then the show aired around the world but you know reality tv you do you do get very
vulnerable and authentic and you let these cameras into your life for a year and they see your ups
and downs and and with social now everyone feels like like they know you. And Netflix, I mean, the show dropped today
to 270 million people in 190 countries.
Our voices are dubbed in over 20 different languages.
That's a lot, right?
All in one day.
So one, you gotta be careful.
But two, if you're not Google-able,
you gotta show me something.
You know, I had a guy from a different country.
I won't say what country, but reached out to me kind of right at the beginning of million dollar listing
and totally seemed like he was going to try to kill me or sell my body into oil drums or something
you know and i'm like this is not real this is not real he sent me a he sent me a photo of his
accountant as his proof of funds like this is not good this is not great not great turns out we
ended up doing a deal together for you know 8.3 million dollars
almost a year later after like it was the most traumatizing experience of my life he just liked
to drink and was on zillow one night and hit me up and then i was just i follow up relentlessly
the guy makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year in another country in a really weird way
and it is what it is so like sometimes you just never know and that's part of that addiction,
right, of like sales.
You just never know
who's going to call.
What's the one deal
for each one of you
that you lost
that it burns you to this day
that you knew you should have sold?
Oh God,
I'm going to tattoo it
on my butt probably.
One of my first closings,
I got to the closing
so excited
and the seller
on the other side of the table
I'd never met
and she was a former beauty client
and I wasn't at the time marketing myself. as we got up to leave she was like this should
have been your deal and i was like okay and that's when i kind of like lit a fire under myself to
start marketing myself and putting myself out because she's like i don't even know this guy
that's selling my house this should have been your deal i was with the buyer but i wasn't sharing to
the world what i was doing and luckily it was my first deal so that changed everything for me now
you can't see enough of me got you yeah yeah i mean for me there was a luckily it was my first deal. So that changed everything for me. Now you can't see enough of me. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, for me, there was a deal. It was an interesting deal.
It was a Brownstone. It was like a $5 million Brownstone. And, uh, the guy was acquiring a
different company, but he put money down for it. He had to sell the rest of the company in effort
to get the deal. So down payments now, I think put what? $400,000 down, down payment, you know, went hard, which means if it doesn't close, you lose the money.
Lose the money, yep.
And he just couldn't sell the company.
And so we're here and we're spending, this is something I never do, but I had like the buyers and the seller come together.
They were like great friends.
Everyone loved each other.
They were, you know, bartering services to extend the period.
And then at the 11th hour, he just couldn't sell the company.
And I felt bad.
And he knew it.
And he lost 400,000.
Beautiful home.
Beautiful home in Bed-Stuy.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was, we were selling a building at the end of 2019 going into 2020 before we started
the company.
We had contracts out, everything.
It was $880 million.
I'd never done a deal like that before.
The commission was 1%. So it was $8. dollars i'd never done a deal like that before the commission
was one percent so it's 8.8 million dollars and then covet hits and the money was coming out of
the middle east the price of oil starts to tank the buyers say hey we just need a little bit of
time you need a little bit of time we need a little bit of time deal slowly falls apart i
worked on it for a year i still i think about that deal every day i feel like that was you know it's
like a life-changing sale you know what i feel like that was, you know, it's like a life changing sale.
You know what I mean?
Like that was,
especially when I was starting my own company,
I'm like,
all right,
so that's going to be my seed money.
I'm bootstrapped.
Like we,
we,
you know,
we're not backed by anybody else.
We,
we build,
you know,
for agents,
by agents,
with agents.
Like I am a real estate agent.
So I think the agents that work with us,
I understand their world because I'm in it with them all day long.
That was a brutal one.
That sucked.
One day, though.
One day.
All right, keep it locked.
We got more with Ryan Serhan,
Trisha Lee,
and Jeffrey St. Arman.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy,
Jess Hilarious,
Shalameen the guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it
with Ryan Serhan,
Trisha Lee,
and Jeffrey St. Arman.
Owning Manhattan
is out right now on Netflix.
I got to ask you guys, being black,
is it more difficult to get people to come in
and say to trust in you guys than anybody else?
Far more.
Far more. Why would you say that?
Because you work with who you identify with.
That's just what people do.
Like if every agent sat down
and thought about their last five clients,
they probably look something like them.
And so people that we work with typically look like us.
And you know the economic wealth gap as well as anyone else in this room. So the likelihood of us
working with clients that own two and three and four and $8 million homes has shrinks down to
less than 5%, probably less than 2%. So it's just harder for us to build volume,
drastically harder for us to build volume. And I think for us, that's part of like,
we lean into, you know, know our sphere and we really worked out
worked out as hard as we can to really get the business right and then and in in the show itself
it's part of our transition from leaning into our core which is our brooklyn audience and then going
into manhattan yeah that's the show owning manhattan so it's like transitioning from still
servicing that base but knowing that we want to go to a different tier and then starting to do that
and then at that point we have all the experience you know and then we
can speak to whatever the market is to whomever we're speaking to and then they
kind of understand. You can be a Brooklyn rock star that's great but it's
like you know at a certain point you have a conversation you're like Ryan I
want to do these other things help me you know and I think that's how this
came together because we were both working at another firm
and then we came over
and we were like
okay this is how
we want our business
to shift
and we sat down
and did a planning session
with him
about how we could
grow that business
I still have to come
to your cookout
you really do
you have one invite
what was it
the ally
you're an ally
and you have an admission
to one cookout
one cookout
one cookout
it's a little ticket
he has it on his
his wall.
We might do it for Labor Day.
Okay, you got it.
But only one.
So if it's this year,
make sure you use it this year.
He's invited to one cookout.
You better not bring him
to Brooklyn on Labor Day.
I look at Brooklyn.
If you're going to Brooklyn,
you have him in the parkway.
Put him right in the parkway.
Put him right in the parkway.
Right in the parkway.
My first day on the parkway
was last year.
Brian's like, I don't know what the parkway is, but stay away from it later today.
Stay away from it later today.
I would advise.
I also got to ask, when it comes to everything that you do, do you start off small?
Because, you know, thinking about real estate, right?
There's always that one person, right?
I remember buying my first house for probably $300,000, $400,000, right?
But then you stay with that agent to your million-dollar house to the next one.
So do you still stay small? Or is it one of those things like, no, I'm not doing that? Listen, it completely000, right? But then you stay with that agent to your million dollar house to the next one. So do you still stay smaller? It's like one of them things like, nah, I'm not doing that.
Listen, it completely depends, right? This business is all about relationships. We're
not actually in the real estate business. We're not developers. We're not contractors. We're in
the people business. We help people. And we connect those people to buyers. We connect
those people to sellers. I think especially when you're early on in your career, you take
everything because you never know. That $2,000 rental client that's going to drag you around, and you don't get paid by the hour.
You don't get paid a salary, right?
That person, maybe her uncle, her brother, who she knows, her future girlfriend or boyfriend could be an amazing client.
It's all about those relationships, and there's a thousand stories to tell that way.
I run the brokerage now, and that's really what owning Manhattan is about.
You know, it's running the company,
the stresses of running the company,
and then the agents that work with me.
And so depending on deal price and all that,
I mean, almost every deal I do now,
except for maybe one or two a year,
I do with our agents.
I'm doing with Jeff and Tricia.
You know, I'm doing with the other agents
that you'll see on the show
and other agents that are at our company
who are highly specialized and have domain expertise
in kind of what they sell.
That way we can expand our business
as much as we possibly can.
Well, Owning Manhattan
is out right now on Netflix.
Go check it out.
Political commentary
and everything that's going on
in politics now.
Does political help or hurt?
What's going on right now
with everything?
Honestly, we're going
through a rerun right now.
So you know what's going to happen
either way, right? And that's all you really got to focus on. And it's probably not going to change
your personal life a whole lot. It might change what you see on your newsfeed. It might change
what people talk about around you. But is it going to change the fact that you still need a house?
Is it going to change the fact that you still got to have a job and provide for your family?
Probably not. And so just focus on yourself. Do what you do best, right? Is it going to change the fact that you still got to have a job and provide for your family? Probably not.
And so just focus on yourself,
do what you do best, right?
Have a get up and go mindset every single day
and be an agent of change in your own way,
if you want to be.
As salespeople, it's always hard though,
because you can't,
we want to work with people
on every side of the spectrum.
So it's tricky for us to really pick a side,
but you got to stay authentic
and true to yourself as much as you can. Now, the real estate agents out there that's looking for us to really pick a side, but you got to stay authentic and true to yourself as much as you can.
Now, the real estate agents out there that's looking for a job and thinking about jumping into this crazy industry, what advice would you give the younger you?
Learn the business.
Learn the business.
Everything else is just icing.
It's like a cake, essentially.
You got to learn the foundation of the business.
You talked about before about mailers and cold calling.
All that stuff is still key and still essential.
You do that coupled with the new stuff.
So learn the business inside out.
I think Trisha can go to the same thing.
A lot of people are so focused on promoting themselves, they're not trying to learn the product.
You're not talking to people that don't know their way around a rooftop, mechanical room.
If it's in my house, I know what it is
and I know how to fix it.
Like,
that's a huge part of it,
I think,
because you're dealing
with a client
that you're supposed
to help and guide.
How can you guide somebody
to do something
you're not familiar with?
So I think studying
and understanding the product
is really important.
And honestly,
follow me for a day
because there are parties
and people are jumping
in pool and that's great,
but we also need to walk
this room.
Careful what you just said.
I'm going to see Trish
in like a week from now
and be like, why? Who are all these people? I don't said. I'm going to see Trisha in like a week from now and be like, why?
Who are these people following me?
I don't know.
I told everyone to follow me.
They're literally physically following me.
Actually, let me run that back.
No, no, you can't take it back.
It's forever.
But we work.
We work.
I'm driving all over from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
We're walking and we're touring things and it's 100 degrees and you're in the basement
and you're trying to figure out what's the best price and is everything that's being
presented to you really what it is and so the product itself these
130 year old homes that we sell study that focus on that you know understanding how finance plays
a part of that it's really more textbook i think the work and then the celebration is what people
typically see on tv this is a different opportunity you're going to see the work here. Now, Ryan, what do you say to a young agent,
a young yourself getting into this industry?
I say kind of what Jeff and Tricia just said,
which is you should first, you should intern.
You should follow somebody.
You should be on a team and you should follow
and see what they really do
and see if you really want to do that work
because it's never what you think it is.
Like you watch, you can't watch suits and be like,
you know what, I'm going to go be a lawyer. You want to know what it's really like
to be a lawyer. You're going to sit and you're going to read and you're going to type for 18
hours a day with a bottle of Advil, right? That's, that's what it really means to be a lawyer.
And that's not what they show on TV. So go follow someone and make sure you understand the first
three years in the business. You're not going to make any money. If you're okay with that,
if you're okay with working holidays,
working birthdays,
working seven days a week,
working in rain, snow, sleet,
the middle of the heat
to build something massive for you
that no one will ever be able to take away from you
where there literally is no ceiling
because no one's ever going to tell you,
hey, you sold too much, right?
But they're also not going to pat you on the back
when you sold nothing
and you got to go get another job.
If you're okay with that, give yourself those three years and you can be incredibly successful in this business.
This business rewards hard work.
All right.
Well, Owning Manhattan, check it out right now on Netflix.
And I appreciate you guys for joining us.
Thank you so much.
Absolutely.
Ryan Serhan, Trisha Lee, Jeffrey St. Almond.
We appreciate you guys.
Thanks, guys.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered
that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.

quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an
entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab,
blackmail, and explosion, and every single wig removal together.
Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you.

Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory
lane and back to Melrose Place.

It's time for Donkey of the voice. Tell them.
Tell them.
Tell them.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
It's a read, but you're so good at it.
You're trying to be a fake-ass Charlemagne.
There's only one Charlemagne to go.
Damn, Charlemagne.
Who you give a Donkey of the Day to now?
Well, Sexy Ray, Donkey of the Day goes to a 26-year-old Evansville woman lindsey pearson now i get on this radio quite
often and warn you all about the dangers of drunk driving there is absolutely zero reason to drive
drunk okay especially in 2024 because there's way too many ride share options out here all right not
too many tech uh not too many taxi cabs but they still exist all right if you can't find a ride
wherever you at drunk ask for somebody uh who works at the establishment to assist you they would be more
than happy to if you know and if all that fails then at least you should have a designated driver
well what if i told you that lindsey said she had one drink at rick sports bar and she must be a
lightweight or that must have been a very strong drink some bacardi 151 or a long island iced tea
type concoction with vodka rum te, tequila, gin. Something had her leaning, okay, apparently.
And it was just one drink.
And it had her leaning so much that she could drive, but she couldn't drive.
So she decided to get a designated driver.
Now, I never thought about who shouldn't be a designated driver
outside of someone else who is also drunk.
Like, you can't have a person who's also been drinking be the designated driver.
Okay, even if you don't have a license, like it's suspended or something, I understand.
If that person drives, they may be breaking the law, but I would still rather them drive with a suspended license than drive drunk.
Well, Lindsay has broadened my perspective on this issue.
There are other designated drivers you shouldn't have.
I would never think that I would have to tell you about them, but let's go to WFIE News 14 for the report, please.
Oman is facing child neglect charges.
Police say she let a 12-year-old drive a car with herself and two other kids inside.
Officers say Lindsey Pearson's brother-in-law told them she did it because she was intoxicated.
Officers say when they interviewed Pearson, she told them she had one drink at a bar.
She also told them she didn't know 12-year-olds could legally drive, or could not, excuse me, legally drive on public roads.
Police also charged Pearson with resisting law enforcement, saying she continued to scream as they tried to arrest her.
You left the bar to go pick up the kids and let one of them drive.
How many lies were told in this story?
First of all, the lie that she had one drink.
Okay, let's just say she had one drink.
Cool.
She was on something else.
Okay, if it's after one in the morning and you get the bright idea that you need to teach a 12-year-old to drive,
you're on something harder than one drink. I know on cocaine or something stronger when i hear
it another lie when lindsey told police that she did not know that 12 year olds could not drive
vehicles on public roads really really lindsey never in the history of american life have 12
year olds uh been old enough to do anything fun all right you can't drink at 12 legally you can't
buy alcohol at 12 legally you can't have sex at 12 legally you can't buy alcohol at 12 legally you can't have sex at 12 legally you can't
buy anything with tobacco at 12 legally you can't rent a car at 12 legally and you certainly can't
drive at 12 legally so you're lying and you know you're lying okay you lie you lie you lie and you
know what rhymes with lie hi that's what you are i believe you when you said you only have one drink
but i also know alcohol and cocaine are popular among drug users.
So I'm sensing some sort of combination.
Now, I believe Lindsay should be investigated further because who the hell are these kids?
Where are their parents? All right.
It's after 1 a.m. in the morning. You have a drink and you decide to just go pick up some kids to go joyriding.
These news reports don't say they were her children, her family. It just says she went to go pick up some kids to go joyriding. These news reports don't say they were her children, her family.
It just says she went to go pick up three kids.
Nobody wants to know how this 26-year-old woman just knew random 12-year-olds
and why was it okay for random 12-year-olds to leave the house after 1 in the morning
and how come nobody is asking any questions about that?
I'll tell you why.
But I can't tell you why until we play a game of Guess What Race
It Is!
Lindsey Pearson, 26 years old,
had one drink, allegedly, at a sports bar in
Indiana. Decided
after 1 a.m. to go pick up three kids and let
a 12-year-old drive. Claimed she didn't know 12-year-olds
couldn't drive vehicles on public roads.
And she resisted arrest by kicking and
screaming. DJ Envy, Guess
What Race It Is! White. Okay. Okay. And she resisted arrest by kicking and screaming. DJ Envy, guess what? Right, she is white.
Okay, okay.
What makes you say that?
Everything that you said.
Okay, okay.
Indiana, kicking.
Okay, okay.
One drink, drunk, having a 12-year-old drive that we don't know where this 12-year-old came from.
Yeah, yeah.
Nobody asking no questions.
Sounds white to me.
Okay, okay.
Jess Hilarious, Lindsay Pearson, 26 years old,
had one drink allegedly at a sports bar in Indiana.
Decided after 1 a.m. to go pick up three kids
and let a 12-year-old drive.
Claimed she didn't know 12-year-olds couldn't drive vehicles on public roads.
Resisted arrest by kicking and screaming,
Guess what race she is?
Caucasian.
Okay.
What makes you say that, Jess?
Everything that you said, just like DJ Envy said, but the kicking and screaming like she wasn't wrong.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When the police came out of nowhere.
Yes, yes.
Well, DJ Envy, Jess Lyris, I'd like to tell both of you that you are correct.
She is talking.
Would you like to see her picture?
Yes, absolutely.
Oh, what the hell did I do with it?
Hold on.
Nope, that's Ryan Garcia.
Oh.
I don't know what I did with the picture.
Oh.
But yes, she is white.
She is white.
Well, how does she look?
Describe her.
Don't say nothing about her back.
Don't say nothing about her back.
How does she look?
Slightly big back-ish.
Okay.
Okay.
I can only see her face.
Okay.
But I can tell by the roundness.
The roundness, yeah.
Yeah.
No, there's no bone structure.
It's just like a Twitter egg.
Remember how the Twitter eggs used to look?
Yeah.
And she got the little Nikki style.
That's what I'm saying.
So she's 26, so she's probably slightly big backish.
But her trajectory says by 34, 35.
Big, big, big.
Big, big, big backish.
Yes, but she's Caucasian.
She is cry at a
Taylor Swift concert white. Okay.
Absolutely. She is mad that Beyonce doing
country music white. Look at her.
Yes, yes. Absolutely.
Damn. Well, thank you for that donkey today.

The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests joining us today.
We have SWV and Escape.
Welcome.
What's happening?
How y'all feeling?
Good.
This is a lot to move around. Expensive. Welcome! What's happening? How y'all feeling? Feeling good.
This is a lot to move around.
Excuse us.
Expensive to be sure. We made it.
It's a lot of y'all.
We made it.
So how's it working with everybody now?
Is it difficult getting everybody on the road together, getting everybody on time?
Because at first they said y'all going to be here a certain time.
And then they're like, somebody's going to be just a little late.
But then y'all all came together.
How is that?
Why y'all looking around when I said it?
I wasn't ready. Who's the lady? gonna be just a little late but then y'all all came together how is that i was ready i heard it'll be lily but i don't know
okay let me tell you i'm going i'm going a bit much i do have a problem being but i'm never
late when i get there ain ready ain't no way done so we need to yeah so how did the tour come together get them together obviously a lot of
people know after the we did the reality
show together kind of like put things on
ice for a while yeah and then Mona you
know she just kept coming back with
ideas and she got us all on the same
page and and I'm glad she did because you know we all was
friends for a while so it was crazy that we allowed the show to like mess things up whatever
and um and this is i feel like it's a perfect time to come back um we also got our girls 702
so it's gonna be a really fun tour like we're gonna have a good time what about the reality
show broke y'all up exactly we were just you know just having our own we our group we had our own
inner turmoil you know what i mean and then you know we had bumped heads about stupid stuff you
know what i mean stupid and then it don't it don't help when you get the people involved you know
people yeah media and people putting their opinions and everything.
How is it with your families and your life so into the press?
Because anything that you do, family does, kids do, it's in the press all the time.
Does that get annoying?
Yes.
Yeah, of course.
Everybody's accountable.
Like, we have to be accountable for every little thing that we do because we're not the only ones that feel it yeah so you almost have to live your life for other
people you know it's it's the most uncomfortable feeling ever but i mean you gotta do the best you
can and just uh sign an nda
does it make it difficult to be a parent you got a you got a daughter that's graduating
this week yeah does it make it difficult that because everything that she does is on i remember
um i took them all out one night right with my daughter and i was so nervous because i felt like
a chaperone right now you're looking but like oh they're drinking i hope nobody sees them drinking
and it's like people that don't, both of our daughters go to NYU.
Yep.
And they're all 21.
But they all went out for a birthday
and I was the chaperone.
So I had to get security.
I had to make sure.
And I didn't like it.
Like, it was like,
it was too much stress on me
because at the end of the day,
I'm like,
what happened if Candy calls me
the next morning and was like,
Envy, why did my daughter
get back at this time?
Like, it's a lot,
but it's always in the public.
So how do you deal with that? I mean, we're used to it at this point we was i mean i was on housewife for 14
seasons so riley grew up in it and she's about to do something else you know so it's just kind of
like i just told her you know whatever you do just know you just say hey i had fun doing it and if i
messed up i messed up i'm about to get it right the next time. Yes.
After the reality show, you know, y'all had y'all little issues.
What was that first conversation like?
Because nowadays it seems like nobody knows good conflict resolution skills.
What did y'all, what conversation did y'all have that got y'all back on the same page?
I thought it was, it was really cool because when Mona got us all back together, we hadn't spoken to each other.
But what I thought was really cool was that
we put the managers out we put everybody out and it was just us just a six yeah and it's easier
that way we worked it out we talked we let each other know how we felt about certain things and
we're here who's the most difficult who's the i call it the virgo of the group that's like me i
want coco to answer this I feel like Coco gonna give us the honest answer
Coco she gonna give you some answers
who's the most difficult Coco
the most difficult
um I could be me
I'm difficult I just you know I stand on what I want and what I believe in and I'm gonna go for it I don't want nobody to tell me what to do
she gonna say no 20 times before yes.
And it's just a yes.
It ain't even a hard yes.
It's a soft yes.
She's going to know you to death.
I don't know just going with the flow.
I don't know that.
She tells me, oh, this is the one saying you catch more bees with honey.
I just like, I don't know.
I tell her, assimilate.
I'm trying, but, but you know I'm not
there yet but in this business all y'all got to be stern because you're black you're women people
try to get over on you so you got to have those boundaries for sure for sure yes and we each one
of us we think our group is the best so you're gonna bump heads sometimes yeah you're gonna bump
heads but you know we come to a resolution and we make it work. We did have a conversation one day on air about who closes the show.
We did.
Remember?
I remember.
Yeah, that was part of the drama when we had during the season.
And I was like, how do you figure out?
Because I guess in certain markets, a certain group will close or maybe not.
So how did y'all figure that out?
We had 30 shows.
We just decided to split it down the middle.
You know what I'm saying? It's 30 shows. You shows you close 15 we close 15 we just do it like that but to be clear our show is
intertwined right yeah so for people it's not going to be one of those concerts where you know
one act goes do they whole show and then the next act goes it's like we're doing kind of like verses
but a live fun or a better version where we go in back and forth doing our you know
our hits so um yeah it's gonna work out yeah the last song is gonna change you know for 15 you know
versus 15 or whatever but it's still the whole show is gonna be like you're gonna feel like you're
going back down memory lane and being able to sing every hit of ours that you've ever felt you know
what i mean and it's not gonna ever like make you to a point where you want to sit down because you're gonna like oh this is my
joint and then they're gonna go and it's oh that's my joint it's gonna keep going back and forth
is this why you took a break from real housewives of atlanta game no i wasn't the only reason i have
a whole bunch of different things that i'm doing um i'm producing whiz on broadway i got another
show that i'm about to announce that i'm producing i'm filming on a tv show i can't even announce yet so there's a lot of other things that i really
wanted to do that um unfortunately you know i don't know if y'all watched last season i was
always they was always mad because i was working on something else and that wasn't going to change
because i got a lot of dreams i'm trying to make happen it's extra busy yeah but i still got love

a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of
looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of
Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic
of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.

So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
We had hits and now in 2024 we're still able to headline tours and go across the country like as women you know what i mean um i think that's very important i don't know about y'all
but as women you know i'm all about you know we got to make moves and big moves and show people
like yeah like this is where it's at you know what about you tiny why is it important for you i mean because it's something that i really love
doing and i mean it just it's just a different feeling from everything else that we do and um
you know our music is still living and doing its thing so it's just it's just a great thing to be
able to be able to go out there and sell arenas and do these shows so
i mean i feel like i mean yeah i feel like why not you know what i'm saying the money and you know
for a long time we wasn't doing any shows and so many x in our era was you know getting that money
and i was just like going to my girl like why ain't we getting the money like what are we doing we can't even we can't get along like we're missing out so we finally you know thankful to
Jermaine and all them they was trying to do like a movie a movie on us that we didn't have nothing
to do with so that's really what brought us back together was trying to figure that out like who
they are doing a movie on us and we ain't got nothing to do with it yeah so that's how we got
back to where we are why was it important for y'all swv this is something that i've been wanting to do since
since how long yeah it's a long time i think we got back together in 2005 and i just always wanted
to put a girl group tour back together the 90s was just beautiful with so many varieties of girl
groups doing their things successfully
i missed that vibe and i wanted to do it again it's just it's just been so hard trying to get
everybody together but finally this situation came along and i'm like all for it i thought it was
dope because i think we left a lot of things open you know since the show and another thing i don't
think men really give us the support i think we deserve yeah so for us to
for the world to see us come together as women and support each other like this i think is a big deal
for me because y'all support each other y'all don't support us but i also seen the shift in r&b
music because i would say maybe about four or five years ago it started shifting where r&b music it
was r&b music parties r&b music concerts r&b music it was army music parties army music
concerts army music things and i'm sure you guys seen that shit because at one time it felt like
i don't want to say it was dead but people didn't respect the 90s groups like they should have in
the 2000s but i seen that shift where it's like you're seeing concerts you're seeing shows yeah
i mean think about it a vegas show lovers and friends when they had 30 40 000 people you would
never see that before right that was always a good
thing yeah and i gotta ask i gotta give you a lot of props wow you took dog skin shut up don't even
break that shut up Shut up, Wayne. You're going down that road. Why did you say dark skin? No, no, no, no, no.

AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI bad? To me, it's good. I would say it's good.
Did you give him the Vintage Vagina?
No.
No.
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
No.
Oh, no.
I'm joking.
No, it's not.
You're talking too much.
You're talking too much.
He's just saying s***.
No, no, no.
He's just saying anything.
Do you think this generation even knows what 90s are?
Look at him. He got out. He got out. R&B is? Look at him got out.
What real R&B is?
They don't know nothing else.
They're going to learn about vintage vagina.
Let's go to the phone line.
We ain't got no phone line.
Okay.
Sorry, sorry.
Do y'all think this generation even knows what real R&B is?
Oh, absolutely.
There are a ton of youngsters, millennials, Gen Zs,
that know about SWV and Xscape because their parents are teaching them about that.
We did a show last year with Glorilla
and a couple of other young rappers.
We were like, why are we here?
But those kids were out there singing those songs
like they were there when we recorded them, and they're holding their moms up on facetime
but music is not the same r&b doesn't seem like it's the same even even my daughter now of course
she listens to scissor and she listens to summer walker but when these records come on in the house
she knows every word word for word like these are her artists. She looks at you guys,
at her artists like we do,
which is different.
It's timeless.
We don't get the same feeling.
And it's a learned behavior.
When you immerse these kids
in this kind of music,
they love it.
You have TikTok.
You have all these other...
YouTube.
My son used to sit there
and look up different artists on YouTube.
And he would think it was so cool.
And I'm like,
that's old school music. He goes, no, it isn't it isn't bruh it is i have to tell my grandbaby no uh they didn't make
that song the song came from this so as you know you gotta teach your kid even though she's my
child she goes she knows all of xscape songs all the songs that we don't sing we never work me
slowly she sang i'm like, you cannot sing these songs.
Work me slowly.
She's singing every, she's like,
and I know this song, and I know this song.
And she can sing.
She sure can sing.
Oh my God.
That's crazy that you said eight years old.
I feel like we just seen her be born.
Born.
She said eight years old.
She doing interviews.
Interviews.
She doing everything.
She know what she want to do.
Yeah.
But y'all gotta realize
a lot of our songs and other R&B
songs, they end up trending
and everything on social media.
People be making their own video clips
not knowing where they got the song from.
They just start singing it and blow it up
all over again.
Is there any songs y'all tired of performing but you got to?
Because it's a big hit or the fans want it?
I love performing every last song.
Oh, bye.
You don't like tonight, Tiny?
No, I mean, I do, but, you know, like,
sometimes when we have a show, we're like,
we need to cut the songs down.
I'll be ready to cut tonight.
They never want to cut tonight.
Why?
She don't want to have the pressure
of hitting the high note at the end.
Oh.
You know, I can do without it, but it's okay.
What about y'all?
Anything that y'all tired of doing?
I'm performing every last song. Every time we sing those songs I feel blessed. I'm going to sing them
every time from the bottom of my heart.
We get tired of right here.
Yeah, right here.
Why?
The dance moves?
You still got to do the choreography?
No, it's not the choreography.
It makes you sleepy.
To me, it's more of a radio song.
It's not a performance song.
No.
I feel that.
I feel like that about,
what song that I feel like is so good,
it's more like one of those songs.
Oh, right.
Right here, one of them.
One of them.
I don't know what y'all right here do.
I'm going to be mad.
We do it.
We have to do it, but we don't want to do it which are just tired of it yeah all right we got more
with swv and escape when we come back now let's get into a swv mini mix 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 that was a SWV mini-mix.
Escape and SWV are here.
They're on tour, the Queens of R&B tour.
Charlamagne?
And Todd, you was on Survivor, right?
Yes, sir.
Did you once say you compared Survivor to working with Escape?
No, no.
I said I compared Survivor to you taking Lili out.
That bitch's vagina.
That's what I said.
It was hard.
It was hard and dry.
Oh, my God.
It was hard and dry.
Wait a minute.
Damn.
Jesus Christ, man. how was it on survival
it was crazy look survivor is the only reality television show that's the only one there are
no storylines there's nothing you're out there with absolutely nothing and you have to literally
survive so will i do it again?
Absolutely not. They've been trying to get me to come back
for years. That's what we all need to do.
Something like Survivor.
We need to do a show where we have to
depend on each other.
She's not going to wipe her butt with no leaves.
Mona set that up.
We have a whole
gourmet meal prepared.
Does reality TV help or hurt?
Scale the fish.
It can do either one.
It depends on what you do with it, really.
I mean, I definitely feel like,
I've had moments where I hated it, obviously,
but I feel like I really
built a big fan base
through it.
It's a lot of ups and downs.
It's a lot of good and bad.
I think that's with everything though.
Even when y'all come to work
every day, you got to deal with the political
bull****.
You're going to deal with something no matter
what you do. You're going to deal with something.
It's just how you resolve.
What's the craziest movie y'all heard about yourselves?
I heard I used to be a prostitute.
Damn!
Somebody did a background check on us
and when I saw it,
it was like people saying,
Taj, yeah, she's doing much better now
because she used to be on the street.
I'm like...
Damn.
I never heard that one.
Yeah, me neither.
Not until I saw that little background check thingy.
But no, I've never been a prostitute.
Thank you very much.
Well, y'all know what mine is.
I got women locked up in the
basement i'm beating them up because you know what i'm saying
how are you able to navigate through that though tiny like good like when you hear those stories
about yourself you know they piss me off more so than anything but you know just because i
be want to say so much and i have to you know everybody always tell me no I can't say anything my lawyers and tip and I'd be on my head so I just had to be
quiet that's the that's the part that really bothers me the most it's just not being able to
say and nobody gonna believe you anyway because nobody cares about the truth
you know and I have to my husband's telling me all the time like it don't matter you didn't you
know nobody you know either they're gonna believe you or they're not and most people they're split so you can't you
can't get everybody so just forget about it and has there ever been like where it affected your
kids in school like anything like that because i think about it on that level too like i got kids
successful kids and like they still have their life like you know what i mean where they
gotta yeah i felt like maybe so but they don't really talk about it they don't really say oh
i've had a bad day because of this and that like major is one of the main kids that's in school
right now and he's so he's so chill like he don't never just be like you know i just had the worst
day today if he does have a bad day he probably he don't really have bad days because he don't never just be like, you know, I just had the worst day today. If he does have a bad day, he probably, he don't really have bad days because he don't care about nothing.
You know what I'm saying?
He don't really care about anything.
Does he get less of a f*** than young King?
Well, King, he's got tough skin.
And I'm glad he got tough skin because, you know, he get the most flack out of everybody.
But he's got really tough skin, so he could care could care less what they say he'd be like yeah tell
me keep talking about me i don't care you know what i'm saying he don't mind so i'm okay with
that you know what i'm saying so all our kids are pretty much they know us and they pretty much you
know they they they know they don't really care what nobody's saying they're kind of like i know
who my mom and my dad is so you know it don't really bother them like i would think it would you know and then
aries she's just too young so she just kind of she's just living life right now i'm a star i
don't got time for that i'm just trying to get my career popping right how does uh i don't know if
this is true but they said latasha filed a lawsuit against the group is that true uh well she didn't file
a lawsuit against us she sent a letter to mom yeah she sent that letter it's over yeah i think
it was more of a scare tactic but it didn't it didn't work i mean you know we kind of i already
knew i writes yeah how did that impact the personal relationship though well as of right
now we don't really have a personal relationship though well as of right now
we don't really have a personal relationship you know what i'm saying nobody we don't really speak
we're not i don't even think we have our number uh for real for real they changed their number so
uh you know we're just going on moving you know it comes to us it comes to us but you know we're
just doing that regular daily thing moving around like you know when it's your sister it is

i have a wonderful family my children i'm a grandma a wonderful husband from the new york
he's from new york city what's up? What's up, babe?
Yeah, life is good, you know?
Sometimes you have to separate in order for certain people to know your worth.
And until they know it, you just be separated.
But life goes on.
And sometimes you got to separate from people closest to you.
Whether that be family or friends or whatever.
Definitely.
Does it make you feel any guilt, though, when you're out on the road?
No guilt.
When you're not in the wrong, you don't feel guilt.
Right.
Ooh.
