Happy Wednesday and welcome to today's what I eat in a day. I actually just got back from boot camp, got ready for the day, had the rest of my protein coffee. I always drink a little bit of my protein coffee before I work out because I need coffee to work out and then finish it when I get home. I'm hungry so I wanna head into the kitchen and make some breakfast and then I have an update for you. If you don't follow me on Instagram, you may not know but my husband has been in the hospital for just under a week. So when I sit down to have breakfast, I wanna share with you kind of what's going on and give you an update on that. But before we head into the kitchen, I wanna share with you my outfit of the day. I know I'm going to get questions about this fun pink color top. This is actually a two-piece set from Timu. Now speaking of Timu, I put up a huge try-on haul video this last Sunday. I'll link that down below if you missed it and I just picked up a few more pieces to take with me for plastic surgery. I leave in just over a week to go to plastic surgery, literally a week tomorrow before I fly out and then Wednesday, a week from Wednesday is my actual surgery. So I did grab a few things to take with me. So I wanna share with you first my outfit of the day and then I'll tell you about the other pieces that I picked up for my trip and just to kind of add to my wardrobe for summer. So first my outfit. Like I said, this is a two-piece set. This is incredibly comfortable, a lot more comfortable than I thought that it was going to be. This is the Y2K Barbie Core Two-Piece Set. It is a whole $13.47. It comes in three different colors in sizes small through extra large. I have mine in the Rose Red, which in my opinion is a really fun Barbie bright pink and I picked mine up in a size large. And like I said, it's very, very comfortable. I will say that you can see my bra straps. So you can see it's a little more of a halter style top. So in hindsight, I would have worn a strapless bra or a stick-on bra or no bra at all once I have my plastic surgery, but it is covered by my hair, so not a huge deal. And it does come with these cute kind of flowy shorts and a belt. Now the quality of this is really nice. Like a rayon material, it's really, really nice quality. And like I said, super comfortable. In the entire set, shorts, top and belt is $13.47. I also have a 30% off discount code. I'll put it right here for you for all new users of the Timu website. So you can get an extra 30% off. They do offer tons of different deals on their website. So there's a good possibility that even as a returning customer, you'll still get a discount, free shipping, free returns and most of their items are $10 and under. So first is the outfit. I took these off so I could show these to you. These are the shoes that I paired with this outfit. Now these are actually made for the beach because they do have this kind of plastic base. It's actually really comfortable and a non-skid plastic bottom so that sand will just come right off. You can get these wet. These are the solid color open-toe cross-strap anti-skid sandals. They're $7.07. They come in three colors in sizes five and a half through 10. I picked mine up in black in a size nine and a half. They fit me perfectly. And even though this is that little more plasticky type material, super, super comfortable for the beach or just for day-to-day wear. And then lastly for my outfit is my necklace and earrings which is an entire set. I rave about Timu jewelry and this set is no exception. It's actually this long crystal pendant and these drop crystal earrings. This is the gorgeous crystal pendant set. The entire set, the entire set. Necklace and earrings is $2.18. $2 and it is really nice quality. Nice, heavy duty. The chain is really nice and thick. I did layer it with my necklace that has a picture of my dog that we lost on it. And I really like it. I especially love the earrings. They're very, very lightweight for as beautiful as they are. And again, $2.18. That basically makes my entire outfit less than $25. That's what I love about Timu. So that's my outfit of the day and then let me show you some of the other pieces that I picked up. So from the coordinator of my plastic surgeon's office, she said bring comfortable clothes. So I wanted to grab a pair of leggings and I wanted them to be a little bit oversized just to compensate for any swelling and really being uncomfortable after plastic surgery. So I grabbed these solid slim casual highways yoga long length pants. I got them in a size large and they are $7.49. Now they are a bit oversized, but they're so comfortable and they're so soft. These would be great for lounging around the house, wearing to bed or even wearing out and about. And I know when I do wash and dry them, they will shrink, but these are going to be a staple for me after surgery. And then I also wanted to bring a pair of shorts that were elastic waist and again, a little bit oversized, something comfortable. It is going to be warm weather when I'm there. So I grabbed these Boho wide leg shorts. They do have an elastic waist with a functional drawstring. They come in two colors. I have mine in red. They are $11.49 and come in sizes small through extra large. And of course, I picked mine up in a size large. These are so comfortable. So, so comfortable. They're lightweight, they're flowy. And again, that whole elastic waist is just going to be extra comfortable. So I wanted a skirt. Again, something elastic waist, something flowy, something comfortable, something that's going to keep me nice and cool. And I have to say right off the bat, I'm obsessed with this skirt. It's so cute. This is the Boho Chic Swiss Dot layered skirt. It is $15.98 and comes in sizes small through extra large. And I picked mine up in a size large. It is so comfortable. It is so flowy. And what I love about it is it sits really nice on the body, very, very figure flattering. Some of these skirts can be kind of poofy and not the most figure flattering, but this one is not only amazingly comfortable and adorable, but super, super flattering on the figure. I picked up a casual tank top as well. Something flowy, something comfortable, something soft. This is the casual sleeveless tank top for $7.17. Comes in six different colors. Sizes small through extra, extra large. Picked mine up in black in a size large. It is so comfortable. I love this tank top. I can see myself wearing this a lot. I originally, I was thinking that after my surgery, it could be a great workout tank, but I love it so much that it is just day to day tank for me. And in fact, I'm going to go pick up some more colors because it does come in six colors for $7. And then I had to get these sandals. These are seriously the cutest sandals I've ever seen. And as soon as I saw them on the website, I had, had, have to have these. These are the Pineapple Beaded Strap Sandals. They have an anti skid toe loop. They are $10.77 and they actually come in four different colors. I picked mine up in black in a size nine and a half. And these are so comfortable and so cute. I can't get over the pineapple. Like I really, really love the pineapple. And it just screams summer to me. So I had to grab these. I plan on taking these with me as well. And then last but not least, I thought I would show you the workout outfit actually that I wore to bootcamp this morning. I should have taken a picture, but listen, it was five AM, it was dark, but this is the outfit that I wore today. And this is actually a two piece set. It comes with a sports bra and leggings. This is the Stripe two piece workout set with a racer back crop sports bra and high waist leggings. The entire set bra and leggings is $18.48. It comes in sizes small through extra large. I picked mine up in a size large and it fits me perfectly. The leggings are so comfortable and so flattering and they stayed up, they were squat proof. They didn't roll through my workout. We did burpees, we did mountain climbers, I ran. I did all sorts of core work and they stayed in place. And the sports bra, the sports bra is so comfortable. It held a lot of my loose skin in, held kind of my floppy chest area in. I am amazed at the quality of this and how structured it is for a workout for less than $20 for the two piece set. I can't wait to wear this again. I think I may actually bring this with me on my trip. Again, comfort. Having a sports bra would be really easy to get on and off over binding and bandaging. So I love this. If it came in other colors, I would definitely buy more colors. So that is my outfit of the day and everything else I picked up from Timu to take with me for plastic surgery. So now I'm really, really hungry. Let's head into the kitchen for breakfast and an update on Troy. All right, let's make some breakfast. I'm going to do a pretty high protein breakfast, especially after my workout this morning. I really feel like I need a bit of protein. So I have some egg whites that I definitely want to use up. So I'm going to do six tablespoons, which is two servings. And that's going to give me a good base of egg whites. I also have one of the Gilbert's Caprese chicken sausages left, so I'm going to dice that up and kind of make like an egg scramble. I am going to pop in some baby spinach for some greens.  And then for a side, for some extra protein, I'm going to do half of a cup of my favorite cottage cheese with this good, which is good culture and top it with some blueberries. So let me put together breakfast. So here is my amazing breakfast. So I have my scramble. I ended up adding in a good handful of spinach and then 10 grams of reduced fat feta on top. I have 125 grams of cottage cheese. I was only going to do 110 and then, you know what, I put 125 on my plate. So we'll take the extra protein and 50 grams of blueberries. So I'll go ahead and put points, calories, macros here on the screen for you. This is such a good high protein breakfast. Feta cheese just makes it. It adds that little bit of saltiness. It's really, really good. As promised, let me give you the update, the 411 on what's going on with Troy. I feel like we cannot catch a break.  First, Lola was diagnosed with lymphoma, with cancer. Then we lost diesel and now my husband, now Troy's in the hospital. So a couple of weeks ago, he started getting a little bit of pain in his elbow. And he said, maybe I overdid it throwing the ball to Palmer. I don't know what I did, but his elbow was giving him a little bit of trouble. And then it progressively started getting worse. It was very painful, very swollen. His elbow was like at least three times its normal size. It was hot to the touch. It was red. He couldn't lift it. He couldn't bend like this. And he also couldn't go like this. I mean, he really had very limited range of motion in his elbow. And like I said, it was just getting worse and worse. So we decided last Wednesday to take him to urgent care. So we went to urgent care and the doctor there was absolutely lovely. And she was thinking potentially it could be gout related, but because he didn't have a lot of range of motion and it was hot to the touch, she thought it could be septic, a septic joint. So she immediately wanted him to go to the emergency room. So we left the urgent care and I immediately drove him to the ER. Luckily the hospital is literally five minutes away from us in our community. And he was in the ER until about 6 p.m. And this was about one that we dropped him off. They did X-rays, they did tests. Originally the ER doctor thought that they would have to actually go in and drain his elbow. He assumed that there was some type of infection that was septic. And if for some reason it left the elbow area, it could travel to his bloodstream.  It is very, very dangerous. Luckily it was just isolated in his elbow area. So he went back and forth and whether or not he should drain it, reached out to the orthopedic doctor. Long story short, they decided not to drain his elbow but admitted him into the hospital last Wednesday. The day you're seeing this video would be one week. Now in filming this video on Monday, he's still in the hospital. We are hoping, hoping, hoping, hoping that he can go home today. When he was admitted into the hospital, it was a disaster. Like the whole hospital experience has not been a pleasant one. But we ended up getting ahold of the nurse, the charge nurse because we weren't getting anywhere with anybody else. And she actually got the orthopedic doctor to Troy and saw Troy on Friday. So he, with the range of motion issue, with the swelling, it wasn't getting any better. He had been on IV antibiotics for a couple of days and nothing was touching the elbow. But he wanted to go in and do some type of surgical procedure. I can't remember what it was called. But basically they go in and they puncture holes in his elbow. He is under sedation and they go in and they take X-rays and they look at the bone and they drain anything in the elbow. So on Friday, Troy had this procedure done to his elbow. So he was under anesthesia. He was actually in surgery for about three hours. So when they went in to drain it, on one side of his elbow, they found a lot of pus, which indicated an infection. And then on the other side of their elbow was a lot of other fluid. So what they ended up doing was draining everything out of the elbow, taking samples of both the pussy-like fluid and the other fluid and sent it off to a lab.  So they can determine exactly what makes up these fluids, which is how they'll know what caused the infection in the elbow altogether. How bad is the infection? Is there crystallization in the clear fluid? If there is, that indicates gout. So this fluid, these two samples, they have to sit for days. So Troy has to remain in the hospital while these cultures grow. So he's actually in a wrap and a sling and he has been sent the procedure on Friday. Nothing really happened over the weekend. We, like I said, we're hoping that the orthopedic doctor comes today, that the cultures are back and they know what's going on. The issue is they can't send him home until they know what the cultures say. So they know what antibiotics to give him. So right now they're just giving him a broad spectrum antibiotic in the hospital. We're not sure that it's helping. It didn't help at all prior to the surgery. He did say that his elbows are less swollen, but it's still kind of hot and red, which to me indicates an infection. But we'll see what the orthopedic surgeon says today, but I'm really hoping that it comes back and we know what was the cause and what we have to do to prevent it in the future and that he can come home with some type of oral antibiotic rather than just staying in the hospital on an IV antibiotic.  It's a little less likely that they'll cover it. So it just made more sense for him just to stay there, which I think is better anyways, especially to manage his pain a little bit. That's what's been going on. So he's been in the hospital just under a week. And like I said, fingers crossed he can come home today. Lola actually has chemo tomorrow and I cannot leave Palmer by himself in our house. He's never been left alone without another dog. So I'm gonna have to take him with me to chemo tomorrow if Troy's not home. All I have to say is that I'm glad that he's getting better. I'm worried about what caused it though. That's what's a little concerning to me and is this gonna happen again? And I'm also relieved that this is happening now, not right before or while I'm gone having surgery because that would have been very traumatic for him, very traumatic for the dog. So I'm grateful that it happened now. It's just been a lot. It's been a lot the last couple of months and I feel really good that I've been able to continue to eat well. I continue to exercise. I'm trying to keep my spirits up. I'm continuing to be my healthy, happy self during all of this stress, which is just proof to me. I've done a good job of healing my relationship with food and not letting life happen, derail my progress and my goal. So I feel good about that, but please if you're the praying type or if you wanna send good vibes our way that Troy fully recovers and that we actually get some answers. I've been sharing a lot of updates on Instagram. So if you don't follow me on Instagram, come follow me there. That's really how you can keep up with me a little bit more day to day. Excuse me. Lola Clayton, what are you doing? Lola, you're the craziest. It's like 90 degrees out. It's 90 degrees. Good boy for dropping your ball. Are you ready? Ready? So I spent the morning kinda getting the house ready and prepared for Troy to come home and I bought a new comforter and pillowcases. It is already in the 90s here in Arizona and it gets hot, hot, hot. As you know, like 120 degrees in the summer. So I wanted to pick up a cooling comforter and some cooling pillowcases. I thought that that would be a nice change of pace for the warmer months. Plus our comforter was getting really peely and really kind of icky. So I went onto Amazon and bought a comforter and some pillowcases. The first thing is the Elgar Revolutionary Cooling Comforter. We have a king bed. So of course I got mine in the king size and I got mine in the color gray. They actually have multiple sizes of the comforter. It has cooling technology for ultimate comfort. It provides seven times the moisture, wicking and breathability of regular comforter. So it allows you to cool throughout the hot months. And then the other side of the comforter is the side that you would use for the cooler month. So it's actually a comforter you can use year round. It does have that double-sided design featuring the Japanese Arc Chill Cooling Fabric. It also includes Jade Master Batch Skincare which actually gives you skincare benefits while you sleep. It is thin enough that you can throw it in your washer but thick enough to add comfort to your bed. Super easy to care for. You can just again throw this into your washing machine and dry it as well. It is recommended if you have a laundry bag to throw it in there just to prevent it from tangling and getting damaged. It is extremely affordable and I actually have a discount for you as well and I will link that information down below. I also decided to pick up some pillowcases. Again, all of the cooling vibes this summer. These are under $20. They come in multiple colors and sizes Standard, Queen and King. These also feature that same cooling material that Japanese Q-Max Arc Chill Cooling Fibers. So they're perfect for all seasons similar to the Comforter. They are absolutely perfect for your hair and your skin. Like I said, it prevents getting bed head but it also is really good. The material is really great for helping to reduce facial wrinkles, dry and knotted hair and of course skincare benefits as well. I love the hidden zipper design. These pillowcases are very, very high quality and the zipper design just makes it look a little more elevated and the zipper of course is hidden as well. You're going to get a two pack of the pillowcases. You can wash it by machine or by hand. They are wrinkle free, super soft, very comfortable and like I said, an excellent value and I will link the pillowcases down below with an extra discount for you as well. So I know Troy is going to be super excited to come home to the amazing cooling Comforter and pillowcases. He is a hot sleeper. I'm kind of a hot sleeper because our dogs sleep with us as well. So these are really gonna be a big game changer as we move into the warmer months and don't forget everything will be linked down below all the discount information and both items you can purchase right off of Amazon. Since I had a really high protein breakfast, I'm going to have a carburet snack. So I'm going to have a serving of these tortilla chips and I did make some homemade guac. I've been loving guac on pretty much everything. So I'm going to do a couple tablespoons of guac and a serving of these homemade chips for a morning snack and this is also going to help me get in some healthy fat. I wanted to share with you guys my new favorite water infusion combination. This glass pitcher, I bought this off of Amazon. I love this. You can see that there is a wide opening and then a smaller hold opening which keeps all of the infused whatever you're putting in here from going into your water. I love to do lemon and lime water but this has become my favorite. This is cucumber and mint. Oh my gosh, it's such a good combination. This is the 40 ounce pitcher. Again, right off of Amazon. So I'll link this down below for you guys. I love this. So I'm actually going to refill my water. I have a coaching call. This is just so refreshing and perfect for summer. It also fits in door of your refrigerator which is another huge, huge bonus. It's time for lunch, lunch, lunch, lunch. I'm so hungry. So I've been doing this little concoction for a couple days now and I'm really loving it. So we're gonna have it today. So I'm going to do half of a sandwich. I'm using one slice of the sprouted wheat multi-crain bread from Trader Joe's. I love this bread. It's 90 calories but there is two grams of fiber and five grams of protein in one slice and it's super, super good. And I'm basically going to make a sandwich. So I have light mayonnaise, a slice of the Sargento ultra-thin cheddar cheese and then I have the uncared turkey pastrami from Sam's Club. By the way, this is fricking delicious. It is so, so good and it's pretty much the same racquers as ground turkey. It's 60 calories for two ounces. And then I've been having a fruit of some sort and I have these strawberries that I want to eat at. Shocker to nobody that I'm gonna have cucumbers but I'm also going to have some of these little baby teeny tiny sprinkle tomatoes to get in some veggies as well. So let me put together my little lunch. All right, so here's my lunch. So I have my half of a sandwich with a tablespoon of light mayo, one serving of the pastrami, one slice of the ultra-thin cheese. I'm telling you, it's so good. I don't know what it is about it but it's so good.  I did five full-size strawberries cut up. I'm so excited for this lunch. I'm telling you, this has been a go-to for me. I feel like it's a really good warm weather lunch.  Lola, Lola, your brother is mad you're on the dog bed. Did you get your ball? Maybe we'll do that yater. Oh, you guys are so cute.  You're the best dog in the world. Let's go get a special one. Let's go. Yeah. They know special bones. These are their special bones. I showed these before. These smart bones with peanut butter. They love them. Can you sit? Oh, good boy, buddy. Good boy. You sit, Lola. Lola, sit. Sit. Good girl, there you go. All right, it is afternoon snack time and I'm going to have one of my Oikos. Triple zero, yogurts. This is in strawberry and I literally have like the tiniest bit of granola left. This is the love crunch. I bet this isn't even 10 grams of granola and I wanna put on like 15 or so grams. So I also have this better than Provisions five nut grain-free granola. I actually got this at a local farmer's market. My mother-in-law said it is amazing, amazing, amazing. So what I'm going to do is put on what I have of the love crunch, top it to make 15 grams with this granola and then refill my granola container with the new granola. So here is my yogurt. This looks amazing. By the way, look at this granola. It is so chunky. It has like dried fruit. There's no grain actually. And again, this is the brand. I don't know, maybe you can buy this online. I have the pumpkin spice one. I'm really excited about it. I did taste test it at the farmer's market and it was amazing. So this is going to be my afternoon snack. Well, he's coming home. He finally called and the cultures did not grow. They thought that it was because he had taken some antibiotics prior to going in, prior to them doing the surgery and getting the cultures. So at this point, we still don't know what the cause of it was. We really don't know anything. So he spent two days at the hospital with the same results of the culture growing versus not growing. So they did give him some antibiotics. So we're hoping that those actually work. Like I said, the good news is this hospital is five minutes from my house. So I am not mad about that at all. So I'm going to go grab him. I'm sure he is so excited to come home. I did not even tell Palmer that daddy was coming home because he would have freaked out. I'm so happy that he's coming home and that he's doing better and hopefully these antibiotics work. There he is waiting for me to pick him up. I'm sure he is even more excited than I am to be coming home. For dinners tonight, we are making turkey sliders. The recipe says five ingredients, but there's actually six. But really simple, family-friendly recipe. Super easy to make. So let me show you what you'll need. First you'll need some little buns. So I'm using the sweet Hawaiian slider rolls from Great Value. These actually have less calories than the King's Hawaiian. So I don't know about points, but they definitely have less calories. Some turkey deli meat. I'm using light swiss cheese. This is one point per slice, which is great and it's a big full slice of cheese. Some type of hearty mustard, light mayo and some light butter. All right, these amazing sliders are out of the oven. They smell so good. That mustard, mayo combo with the sweetness of the rolls cannot wait. So I'm going to go ahead and plate this up. I think I'm going to have some more cucumbers and tomatoes. That was amazing with lunch. And I'll be back to show you dinner. All right, so here is my dinner. Okay, I couldn't be more excited for this. I feel like this is another one of those fresh recipes for the warmer months. I'm actually going to have two of the sliders and then of course some more cucumbers and tomatoes. But this is going to be my dinner. So points, calories, macros are here on the screen for you. All right, it is the end of the night. It's about to get dark actually. So I'm going to have some dessert. I'm going to do one of my favorite desserts. So I've actually been alternating between the Fairlife chocolate milk and Clean Simple Eats protein and this concoction. So today I'm feeling like this concoction. So I do one serving of fae Greek yogurt, really any 0% non-fat Greek yogurt. I'm going, you get anywhere between like 16 and 19 grams of protein. And then I mix in Clean Simple Eats protein. I'm obsessed with Clean Simple Eats protein. I'm obsessed with their greens. I'm obsessed with everything from the brand. This coconut cream right here is legit coconut cream pie when mixed with this. It has such good taste and texture. Their protein powders are seriously the best that I've ever had. There are 100 calories, 20 grams of protein. Two points I believe they are so good.  I can't wait to place another order because there's other flavors I haven't tried yet. So I'm actually going to mix that in with my non-fat Greek yogurt. And then for some texture and to give it a little bit more of that coconut cream vibe, I'm doing half of a tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs, which I want to say is like 15 calories. It's really nothing. I don't even know if it's a point, but I'll put of course all the information here on the screen. And I will link Clean Simple Eats down below for you with a discount. So let's make this coconut cream pie dessert. Thank you for today's what I eat in a day on WW. I hope you enjoyed coming along with me today, seeing all the good food.

This guy right here, he's been on Boss Talk 101 numerous a time. He's family, man. This guy right here, he hails, man. Like I'm talking about, man, one of the dopest musicians to ever come into the game, man. Come down to our history, man. Hey, it's some stuff about this guy. Y'all heard me talk about, we about to get all the way in his business. Clint Payback Sand is in the building. Man, hold up. Hold up, hold up. How you doing, man? Let's talk about it, man. Clint Payback Sand's in the building. Man, you know, man, shout out to you, man. For always rockin' with Boss Talk. When I call you, we have great conversations. Shout out to Kenyatta, your brother, man. How about the saddest thing about my brother? Man, all you brothers, all y'all came from good stock. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. For sure. My one was a G. So was Pops. Wow, man. I just really, I gotta just dive all the way in it, man. You talked to me a year ago here in the same hotel. We talked about Tupac. We talked about numerous of things, but since then, Keefe D. was arrested. Keefe D. was charged over 25 years later with the murder of Tupac. What did you think when you seen that happen after all that time? What is that? I don't know.  Because you don't know who really was behind this, behind that. I was like, this man, this man, this man, this man. To the street saying he just told you the right things. I still haven't. I'm not that really like, investigated or anything like that.  But Keefe D.'s name came up only recently, as far as I know. I never heard his name until like a year or two ago. Keefe D. wrote a book and he talked about it on several different occasions. He says that, you know, they pulled up beside him. It was, you know, pretty much in that White Cow Lack and he, you know, they were busing and Tupac tried to jump over to see the bullet hit sugar. And he's real detailed on what he's saying. You know, Orlando was his nephew. The guy who that was got beat up, got beat up at the casino. 20 minutes, 30 minutes. Yeah, at the MGM. So, you know, he was saying that this is what happened. This is what went down, wrote a whole book about it. And, you know, he went over to Blad TV and he told his story in depth so that everybody would know. And then even Blad said, hey, man, this is one that I did, you know, give my footage over to the authorities. And this is one I did participate in pretty much getting this guy, you know, arrested. Right. So, I don't know. Blad's different. Do you think he asked questions in a way to where it really it had people intense? You know what I mean? It's not that he's, I don't think I think it's his personality, the way he interviews.  Right. So he's really intrusive. Yes. Yeah. Mama was a whole right. We're not. We're not. We're not. But it's so direct. It's like you're an interrogation room. Right. That's what I'm saying. He's trying to go here. So it's different than just having a conversation where you get on the camera and all us talking. Yeah. But I definitely know that Keith, he said that he was one that he helped, you know, navigate that, that one for sure. And he takes credibility for it. Um, you know, peace out to two blacks family. That was a terrible loss. Because dude was 25, man. That's a baby dog. Yeah, he was 25. Um, so, you know, it was, it was behind the scenes.  There's no telling what the real story is. And it's probably worse than what, than what he's saying. You know, I heard a Lando shot. And so that's nephew. I think it was nephew. I'm old. Let me give my, give my nephew life. And then they, they killed. Right. Well, it was, it was, some say it wasn't the people who, you know, wasn't for parking was on something else, but I'm saying him not living.  So why write a book about yourself? That don't make no sense, bro. Right there is those a monkey wrench and any reality that he spit. You feel me? So then he might, might say, Hey, man, I give you some money to take this rap, get it off of me. Well, it was really behind it. And here's some couple M's. You know what I'm saying? For you and your family.  I put your kids to college. You know what I'm saying? America is, I mean, you know, not as people are wicked, man. You have no idea. And if he did, he wasn't going through enough. That's another dude. Oh, here's here. Here he comes. Here's the here's the kicker. He ends up getting now pulled into this by QVD and the statements QVD is making and saying he had the ticket for he basically, you know, peeled them off some. And that's when he called and say, was that us? When it wasn't when it wasn't, you know, once Pac was hit. This is all alleged stuff that's being said. And some of it is recorded and talked about on different interviews. Because QVD went interview crazy. He went on everybody's platform telling this stuff. Puff Daddy. Going through a lot right now. Do you think that he had anything to do with that? Paying the money, but doing a, you know, a payout on, you know what I mean? Um, I'll leave it at some alleged because I don't know Puffy and never talked to him and never met him. I don't know none of them brothers. And so I can't say yeah or nay. You know what I mean? It's all words. They can say he went to the moon. Oh, I got to believe it. His word until I talk to Puffy. So it is crazy because that's the way the internet is rolling now. To be honest with you in there for the clickbait. But at the end of the day, this is a real case with people getting arrested. People going to jail. People doing interviews. Only one ain't speaking is be did. He'd be arrested right now if they really had something up on him. I agree with that. You feel me? If they're going to arrest QVD and he talking all that and he put it in the book and all that. If it was real, Puffy be alone with him. QVD got in the back seat of the cop car. He said, you do the whole I am. And I was like, no, he's a young cop. He's not done. They arrested. They just told us come get you. He say, well, you know, he say, look, man, it happened in the 90s, man. They said I'm the one that killed Tupac. Allegedly.  Like who would want to say that to a police officer when you in the back seat of a cop car? Right. Who's snitching on himself?  Like if you killed like somebody big, right?  Everybody love Michael Jackson. Look what you did. You know what I'm saying? But who snitches on themselves and writes the book. They say that he thought he was dying. Why he came out and said what he said. I want to go to a hospital. You know what I'm saying? Not a jail cell. No, you're right. I'm supposed to die. I got that in his plans. Let me go. No, no. So I ain't got it. I don't know.  Yeah. It tears us apart. What if Biggie and Tupac got together into the record? What would that be like?  They had enough money to fund their own distribution. They could have bought something and then set something off. Right? They could have done movies together and the soundtrack would be off the chain. A snoop with a faith heaven or something like that. That would be off the chain. So divisiveness just kills us, man. So this is just more of that divisiveness and come to find out snoop, snoop was cool with Biggie. The kids play together. You know what I'm saying? I mean, Puffy and Snoop was cool. You know what I'm saying?  Wow. I got to ask you about this because I spoke to Phaeton about it. When Cassie came out and she said it, you did it.  It was, what did he do? The sexual assault? What was it?  He had her sleeping with. Yeah. It happened years ago. Allegedly. Yeah. Allegedly. It happened years ago. Right. This was not new. So you're saying there should be a statute of limitation or something like that? They had one, but they said with that kind of thing, they removed the statute of limitations. Right. Because so many people are intimidated. Especially to me, when you're dealing with powerful people, imagine how many people are being intimidated not to come out and have been holding that for years. Intimidated not to come out when you're going out shopping and spending the money from the person in the list. I don't mean inventing something, bro.  The person who victimized you, it's just like R. Kelly. Like I said, them girls was, it was at the mall, but they said it was kidnapped, too. But it was going out and everything was going right back over there. Man, look, let me explain something. I don't know about that because I was on the East Coast. Right.    There wasn't no social media where you can just go on your own page and say, hey, Puffy just had me, you know what I'm saying? You couldn't do that before. Are you scared for your family's life? Right. And they say it's such and such who you're going to go to. You know what I mean? So now I think with the internet, you can expose people to a man, people to wear now.  You know what I'm saying? Right. So back in the day, man, I knew a lot of like rappers and artists was taking physical abuse from these gangsters, man. It was a whole bunch of them. She was trained by four or five brothers. I was on that beach. You know what I'm saying? And they were a lot of people just terrified. Artists never even, they had black. They were just female artists. Female and male. Taking abuse, but terrified. Taking abuse, getting beat up. By who? By gangsters. By gangsters. Yeah. Who were running with gangs. We had a lot of bread. Yeah. In LA, money, money is power. And so a lot of gangsters are clean to you for that power. And you'll pay them for whatever. So now they ain't got to worry about slanging and getting arrested or whatever. They just do whatever you say.  Or go here. Or do they intimidate this fool?   And why does, and the man who abused, did he see abuse growing up? He seen abuse growing up. A lot of, a lot of like, this goes to a deeper subject for me. It's like America broke up the black family. And when they freed us, the slaves, right?  The food is nasty. The place is dirty. The kids, they did their homework. So now she got to do that too. And the man couldn't get a job. He would get a job and she would handle that, right? So now she got to get a job and handle that. So now it's like no use for the man. Do you think that they're doing that again right now? Because somebody... They never stopped. Because somebody gave up a point the other day and I was like, I see it, but then it's like, okay, the first female black billionaire was who? What on? The first, hold on, the first, not even female, they said the first black billionaire was Oprah. They gave it to a woman first rather than any man. And all of a sudden when she had it, then you see the man popping up, oh, this person is a billionaire, that person is a billionaire. Why they gave it to her first? Um, life for... That's what they said. For me, Oprah won't ignite a movement. She'll just keep making that money herself. She hasn't sparked a movement. This isn't like, okay, Oprah has her own studio now. She told Gail, now Gail got her own studio. Now this person got their own studio. Now Taraji got her own studio. Now they're not needing the movie distribution company now they're self-contained and they get funny on movie. She's not sparking that. Oprah doing Oprah. Tyler Perry doing Tyler Perry. Isn't that giving birth to somebody else? You know what I'm saying? Dre gave birth to Snoop. Dre gave birth to Eminem. Eminem gave birth to 56. Eminem gave birth to 50 Cent. It's not going like that. Listen, that's what Kevin Hart does. Kevin Hart brings a lot of other people with him. Right, he's sparking a movement. He's sparking a movement. She's not sparking a movement. Who came from Oprah? That blew up. I love Oprah. And she's doing her thing. And she tries out a lot of pressure on her. I'm pretty sure she dealt with death threats and everything like that. And I don't think they gave it to her. I think she earned it. Exactly. You know what I mean? But this goes back to what I was finishing saying. When they gave the black woman jobs and that demand, they feel like, well, the man will eventually have his own business and then hire his family. Well, the woman is just going to get her jobs and we're going to be cool with it. And so that broke up the family. So without a father in the house, the boy doesn't know how to resolve conflict. That's why they fight and beat up girls. They don't know how to, they're not taught to provide and push to make extra money to take care of themselves. And also how to resist temptation. You know what I mean? So when you got these grown men, but they just grown boys and that developed. And then they don't know the importance of their presence in the child's house because their dad wasn't there for them.   And without the man, a father in the house, the girl is not told she's beautiful without somebody wanting something for it. You know what I mean? So her confidence ain't there. And then if the man ain't around, she doesn't know what to do to keep a man. She doesn't know how hard she's supposed to work. So she will tolerate verbal abuse in that kind of situation or physical abuse. So I think, and those grown boys who I think puffy is and the grown girls who I think she is, recognize each other. He knows what to say to her to get her going. You know, and she'll follow behind him. You know what I'm saying? And so I feel like in those situations, all the girls that are victims went through that. You know what I mean? So no man going to put my dad, if I put hands on a woman, my dad's put hands on me. You feel me? So I'm like, my dad was six, three when I was growing up. So that was not an option. And my mom wouldn't have it. You know what I mean?  And I'm not thinking as big of a deal as it is.  But do you think it ever changed? Because then at the same time, you know, with the generation we're in where everything is social media, social media. And everything is out there for everybody to see even these kids. Because as much as you try to limit your kids' viewership on social media, they still, when they're at school, wherever they still go, find their ways to go on social media or use a friend phone, whatever.  And everybody is seeing her journey and, you know, yes, she's going to grow and she's going to be by herself. But then she goes right back, which a lot of victims do, but they see this and they might not see it in their household. Now they see it on social media feeling like it's okay. Right. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Wow. Because you got, before it was like, if it was a bad seed, he was at school and he affected the class, maybe 30 people. Now he's online with 20 million followers spreading into 20 million people, you know what I mean? To where adults are doing with kids following kids now. The kids out there doing this, they try to do the same thing. It's terrible.  I need to, maybe I need to tolerate this.  They'll say, well, long as he comes home with me, I don't care what he does in the street. That's the woman who's being traumatized with seeing their mom deal with different guys that leave her and leave them struggling. Well, long as he comes home and pays the bills, I don't care what he out there doing. Because they think all men are going to do that anyway, because that's all they've seen. The Cosby show, we have some positive images out there that kind of say, no, this looks like this would, and that's why the media came so hard at that and knocked that down. So now we have, now the internet, the Instagram is our moral rule. Is there any TV show right now that's like the Cosby show that is for us that shows positive household? Blackish. Blackish. Is Blackish still showing? Not like it was, but it's still. I think they did, they did, right? Yeah. But that was the closest, probably. But then that was kind of like off the chain a little bit. But like, during the Cosby show, I grew up in the Cosby show type of house. My dad was a lawyer, my mom had a master's working for the city in a high paying job, and we all went to college and we weren't in and out of jail and having babies. You can't even find those reruns of the Cosby show anywhere, can you?  I haven't seen it. I see good times for show. I see good times, but not the Cosby show. Oh my God. Y'all seem like a recent thing, a good time. You know how much they rent was? No. $100 a month. And he was working, scrambling, working at car washes. Trying to find a month to pay. $100 a month. I was like, are you serious? Is that hard? Like, come on, man. Well. They made this look bad. I was like, damn. Some people have it that hard right now. Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying, you know, like, that's on TV. We ain't got the rich one and the poor one in the middle. They showing us good times. We ain't got no money. What's happening to dad in a row? You know what I'm saying? The kids. The Jefferson, he had money.  He was a buffoon. You know what I'm saying? There was no family like that. It was just him and Weezy and his son. He had his son, right. But he wasn't like, you didn't see him raising them, taking them to school or doing his homework. You didn't see that part. You know what I'm saying? Let me cut in on this.  And he talked about a lot of different people from Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey, Cedric Entertainer, Ricky Smiley, Aries Spears, A's Unlucky and the list goes on. What did you think? Why did you do that? What did you think about it when you seen it? I mean, did you feel like it was needed? That it was something that he needed to do because he felt like these, all of these people had crossed him in some type of a way. He talked about Tiffany Haddish. He talked about all of them. The girl that he talked, had the differences at the radio station with him. What did this do for our people as far as he talked about Michael Blackstone? I can keep going. Right.  She's got my back. She's always like, all right, what you about to do? You know what I'm saying? She always makes sure I'm on point with everything. So we talked about this in a lobby and in an elevator. And she made a good point. And I kind of talked about it again just earlier about divisiveness. You know what I'm saying? That kills us. That's breaking us apart. You know what I'm saying? Taraji wasn't really lined up with Oprah. So publicly they were divided and that hurt the film, right? So divisiveness in any form hurts us. Because being divided is destructive. Being together is productive. Let me say that again. I kind of like how I say that my damn self. Being divisive is destructive. But being together is productive, right? That's real. So one of Kat Williams got Michael Blackstone. Got Phazon. Got Cedric Entertainment. Got Steve Harvey. Put together a movie and started his own production company. Now he can put out movies with each one of them. How strong would that be? You know what I'm saying? Whoever, you know what I'm saying? Even Puffy. Do a little poem with Puffy. You know what I'm saying? Whatever he's talking about. What if he did that? What if he got together with them? Say, look, I wasn't going to blast y'all out, but check this out then. We should work together and let's build.  If he's going to lead a movement. That means instead of being divisive, let me be productive and hire all these brothers. I know what they get paid. Okay. I can put together a budget. He's paying for all his own concerts. So Kat Lokey is a hell of a man here. You know what I'm saying? Then you got Kanye West, all that money. I'm pretty sure he gets people he can go to and they've collectively got together and put out movies, all these comedians to be working. You know what I'm saying? They can be self-sustainable. So I think it's sad that we're continuing to be divisive and there's nothing for us individually. They probably got a nice check from the views and all that stuff. And we're feeding off of that dysfunction of that divisiveness. So they said, we can't wait to see that. Everybody's clicking on everybody. Why should four or five times and all the shorts, you know, so that divisiveness kills us. So I looked at it as sad to see how much, because what have you talked about coming together? How many views would they have? So it's like, man, it was sad to me. I wish they would. Monique, everybody that has problems with somebody to reconcile and come together. We're stronger in more numbers than we are with less numbers. And you don't have to reconcile on social media. You can actually put your phone. Or even if you don't have the person number, just go call somebody else who does and say, Nobody else does that. But we feed off a division that keeps us dividing us. We're an autopilot right now. Did nobody white pay Shannon Sharpe? Nobody white pay Kevin Hart to go and do what they did. Nobody. Shannon Sharpe. Shannon Sharpe came on. I just watched something on him today. Now he's fighting with it. Yeah. Yeah, he came on. He said, Mike helps, you know what I'm saying? Well, I see you. You know what I'm saying? I want you to. And then Mike come back and say, I'm not for to do no fighting. I got something that I can do with you though. He's leaning to the system. So, so. More divisiveness. More divisiveness. More divisiveness. They would be. I mean, it's a good platform. I love to see him talking, but it didn't used to always be like, was it all. I don't watch it until the Cat Williams thing really popped off on it. Like, was it divisive? Or was it just before this? Was it something that kind of brought our people together? Um, I haven't really like studied him because sometimes I analyze people, you know what I'm saying? But he's good when he gets you comfortable. He starts to show off saying, you're a great dish or this or that. You're accomplished. You did this, blah, blah, blah, blah.  Have some liquor. So now he's going to ask you anything. You're going to, stuff you might say, I ain't going to say this online. He might, they might say, you know. I got to drink me. I got to drink me a little drink. You know what I'm saying? That's it. I need it because of y'all. You know what I'm saying? I ain't doing no pressure. You know what I'm saying? You know, so they, so they go there and he starts asking questions like, okay, why does this just drop you? Or why does the answer is going to be divisive?  And it's almost like, I don't think he's, I ain't going to say he's looking for that drama. But the questions he's answering, the answer to it is going to be divisive. And I say, he keeps, what for real? And he, and you keep elaborating.  Well, you know. So that's what I was doing. You know, he's not bouncing the person out the person. He say, Cedric, the entertainer sitting there like a walrus. You know what I'm saying? He went to Steve Harvey. He just started bouncing. Steve Harvey said, and he did. He was thinking like a man. And he was, do you think that he really, that he really signed paperwork saying that the next movie that him and Ricky Smiley do, Ricky Smiley need to be in a dress because that's the part that best fits him. He need that to happen before he can do another movie. And the next movie was that best Sunday movie. Look, that's not even what I'm thinking about when I hear that. It's like, why would you say that publicly?  You know, a lot of these brothers are doing whatever they can to get attention because we don't own the machine that puts us out. Right. So we're doing whatever the hell to get paid doing what we love to do through this machine that we got to go to that we don't own. If we own our own machine, you probably would never see it, Medea.  Everything is shock for us. They put out shock. NWA was shock.  The girls are saying, oh, my kuchi's tanking. It's shock. So everything is shock. So seeing a guy, a grown-ass man in some dress talking crazy is shock. And so they can do that to us. They're not going to do that to themselves. You're not going to see, you know what I'm saying? Seeing the buffoonery that you see with us.  You're not going to see that in the song. You know what I'm saying? But they'll put our song out like that. So I think we need to control our narrative so we wouldn't have to be in some dresses. Because I'm pretty sure they're doing it for shot. They know if they do this, they're going to get this check and they get paid. If they don't do this, they may not get a check. That's real. That's real. You know, if we own our own, our own, you know, machine to put these films out, I think all that had changed. And I think that's the major problem across entertainment. You know, why are we arguing and fighting with each other? Why did Color Purple come out on Warner Brothers? Why? Oprah got $2.8 billion. I just looked at her wealth up. $2.8 billion. And Tyler got $1.2 billion. And the movie cost total was $150,000. The marketing, the total bill was $150,000. They could have both chipped in $75,000 and put that out. Why? Tyler Perry could shoot the whole thing on his studio and everything. So it probably wouldn't even cost that much. Why?  They were just hired to put their names on it for you to go see it. It was a white guy who produced it. It was a whole other person directly. It was all a money game, a money play. No, it was a money grab.  Did you watch Color Purple? No. And I didn't either. I didn't either. Why? You watched the first one. I've seen the first one a thousand times. I love Oprah. She did a thing. Whoopi Goldberg. They all, everybody did their thing. But what happened last time? But I just felt, I want to see, like that was another device of movie. You know what I'm saying? It's more abuse. It's more, we're seeing more abuse. I want to see some positivity. You know what I'm saying? They had the negative and positive, but it was a lot of negative in there. It was like the first one, he was beating the hell out of her. I mean, blah, blah, blah. What's the ending she left? The end she left, but she dealt with her for years. She was a kid when it first started.  We don't need to be seeing that, man. We need to see something a little different. You show wheels ugly. Yeah, but he got whatever she was like, what, 10, 11, and got her pregnant? Yeah. Come on, man. We didn't really need to see that. I was like, I didn't know what they were going to show. I might see the video, but I was like... But it also brought up, because when Teraji was promoting it, she was talking about how unfair wages for actresses. You remember when you saw her going around? What do you think about, not just unfair wages for actresses, unfair wages for black female actresses? This subject is old for me. Like, y'all remember Different World, and Paddle of Bill had a show called Auto Night? I didn't see that. It was Villacal Fox in it, and a small man's name. That was in Boys in the Hood, the dark skin brother. I never seen it. He might have seen it. But anyway, they were in it. It was Jeff Jeff Canteen. So were they saying the same thing, too, back then? No, no, no, no, no. But at some point, Martin and all the shows, they got canceled at the same time. So an actress friend of mine, Monica Cowell, and I think her car was in the shower, I don't remember what reason, but I was taking around to three different auditions. Each audition, everybody would, like Holly Berry and Angela, what's her name? Will Busch? No, the... Bassett. Bassett. Hand of the Bassett and Holly Berry, the only ones not at the audition, everybody was there. I saw, damn, I'm terrible with names. The girl that was in... She was one of the four girls in Wayne II Excel.  Angela Bassett. Whitney Houston. The one that always played all the Tyler Perry movies as like the mama or the grandma. No, no, no, not her, not her, not her. Okay. She was also in Boomerang. She was walking the dog. Oh, oh. Oh my goodness. With a short hair. She had them corn toes. She had them corns on her toes. Her, okay. Damn, what the hell's her name? I don't know her name. I don't know her name. She was also in Harlem Night. Her pussy's so good. You throw it in the air. Damn. I intercom you. So anyway, so... But she was there. Like, this is when different worlds, so Janet Pinkett, like all the cast of them was there and Vivica Fox was there. There was a whole bunch of them. He kept running into Vivica Fox.  Because I've seen them all together at clubs. They be like, hey, girl, what's up? You know what I'm saying? At the audition, nigga, this game on.  You know what I'm saying? I'm just like, that's 10th of the motherfucker.  Like, I know y'all friends.  She said, hey, none of us working?  And there's like 20 of us looking for work.  And that was 1990. So that was like 1990.  And so, like, we don't have, we don't recognize our economic strength as black people. And so, you know, whites keep putting out movies that pumped them up and kind of break us down. So we never really felt our value. You know what I'm saying? Like, they never really had a superhero movie for the longest to Black Panther. And that's sold. How many units, you know what I'm saying? That went crazy. So now we kind of see it, but Hollywood ain't caught up to that. But then we're seeing now that we do have some black filmmaker, some black producer, some black, you know, so it should have gotten better. Yeah, but a lot of these execs that run these films is homosexuals. So they ain't really looking at the woman off top. That's real. That's why a lot of women aren't making as much money as men, I think. That's my personal opinion. No. And I'm sticking to it. But I'm sorry to hit this mic.  So I just think they look at her as she's not, if she's not in this movie, it's not going to matter. I think we just put the black person in here for credibility for, you know what I'm saying? So I really don't think they value them like that. They don't value the black man like that. But if he can make some money cool. But until black women, I think at this point, need to be self-sufficient. Here we go again. We need to come together. Oprah or whoever needs to come together and start a film company. And now put out the movies that we can make. If they do a sci-fi movie with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett and Oprah and Tyler Perry in it, it'll blow up like some Star Wars or something like that. We have the money to do it. We got the acting chops to do it. We can be shot by us. It can be filmed, edited by us, scored by us. And we did that. Now, boom. We're going to support that like crazy. Everybody's going to support it. You know what I mean? Like they did Black Panther. So at that point, there ain't going to be no more crying about getting half a million in a movie. Now, your movie just generated 300 million. Okay, 20 million. Did you watch Super Bowl? Yeah. What do you think about Usher's half-time performance? Yeah, he's in Vegas. It was solid. I hope I don't see him. No, I'm playing. The production of it was off the chain. The production of it. Mm-hmm. The production of it. Get into the rest of it.  I like the vibe. He was dancing on. His skates were, you know what I'm saying? It looked smooth. Whatever. You know exactly what part I'm trying to get to. The outfit was tight.  But you know. The outfit. Although all of that was tight. The one thing that everybody started talking about. Do you feel like he was inappropriate? Oh, you're talking about him grabbing on Alicia? Yes. There's a fine line with that. Okay, tell me about that. Now. Because I heard after that, did you hear that he just got married? Yeah. He's like right after the show. Yeah, but you know. I didn't feel like there was nothing past. But when I look at the comments. Man, people are going in. If I was Swiss Beach, and if I was this, this, this, and they going off. I had that conversation with a whole bunch of people. He said this nigga was the man that he was wedding. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? If you was hugging on Shib's girl and Shib was there. Oh man, you wouldn't make it home. You know what I'm saying? But it's crazy about entertainment. Film, actors and actresses. I hope I don't get in trouble for this. But I'm just being technical. Right. For us normal people, kissing somebody else, kissing somebody else on the lips while you're in a relationship. It's cheating. Right. It's cheating. But actors and actresses. Actors are mentally conditioned. Only if the cameras are rolling and you're getting paid for it. Right. And still the act of kissing, if you did that without all that, it's cheating. So the average person is mentally conditioned. They're like, you put your lips on somebody else. It's on.  You cheated on me. You know what I'm saying? So I did an actress and she told me she got a part in the movie and then she told me she had to do. I broke her with her before she even shot the movie. I was like, I ain't grown enough.   Alicia Keys is not an actress. So that's their mentality. Entertainment, they do stuff that I think that a sizzle and get the crowd into it. So Janet, she get calls a guy on stage and dances all on him and twerks and all. You know what I'm saying? Right. Madonna's kissing Britney Spears. You know what I'm saying? They probably wouldn't do that outside the stage. I'm pretty sure. You know what my first, my first thoughts was, and I said this, I said, I guarantee you Usher went to Swiss beats behind the stage before he went on stage. You probably did. And say, hey, homie, this is what we going to do because everybody know me for this, whatever. It ain't going to be. It's going to get likes. It's going to get likes. It's going to get views. The more views I get, the more we both get paid. That's what it's all about to be honest with you. Right. And it worked. I think that's what they did it for. I really think that's what it is. You're right. I think he did say it looks Swiss. We going to try to get some likes out of this. You got to think about it. When he went behind her and he hold her, he didn't hold her and pull her against him or do anything that was, I didn't see that. He squeezed her and she laughed like, okay. She had that look like, all right, don't take this too far. That's the look she gave her. It looked like, oh, hey. She was like, all right. Swiss ain't no punk. You know what I'm saying? I got to ask you about the, I wouldn't be cool with it. Yeah. I'll be on my skates trying to chase him down. You broke up with your girlfriend before she even went to the show. Yeah. I had to kiss a guy and show my titties. Oh, is that right? And he broke up with her. That's the shame. Let me ask you about the Hollywood star, that two-part guy. There's something else that happened since we was on there. He got the star on the Walk of Fame. Oh. What did you think about that? I think it was overdue. And he got a street in his name as well. Yep. I think it was overdue. Why do you think it take him so long to give icon and iconic figures? I don't know. They just do. It seems like they give, like you know how they have a high accolade or something like that. If you're popular in certain genres, they give you a star or you have high accolades. I think you even have to put yourself on a list or something. I don't know how they give them the stars, but they should have gave Tupac a star. But I don't think they realized, America didn't realize, I'm saying non-blacks, realized the influence he left us with, being 25. Yeah. Yeah. He was very young. The level of work, the movies he did, what he accomplished from nothing. He's not a trained actor. You know what I'm saying? He ended up doing mad movies. And he killed them. He was in bit and juice. He was bomb. He was a beast. I forgot. I'm looking at Tupac.  And you know what I'm saying? In his records, he was, I've seen him work. And so he was extremely talented. He almost burped the song. It's so fast. He's writing like crazy. And he's just what a guy. He's just writing, scribble, scribble. And he's like, I'm ready. And he's buzzing. It'd be something, you know, he'd have, we just passion wherever he felt about. He felt bad about somebody dying. He talked about that. He wouldn't talk about his mama. He talked about killing. He was so versatile. It feel like he just talked about what was passionate to him. And it came out on the songs. I think that's why people gravitate to him. Because the passion he has in his records.  His passion he got. He get mad at you. He hit you up boys. Oh, he going there.  You know what I'm saying? So. Wow. Do you think? Okay. And when you look at, like there's a lot of time, man, you hear easy. And, and you know, easy, easy. RIP to easy. R, you know, him and ice cube. How do you think their relationship was? When easy passed away for real? Do you think it's what the movie predicted? Uh, characterized. Yep. They, they, they were divided. Divided. By Heller. Heller was easy. He's client.  And old school. Record business.  Record companies get like 80, 90% of the record. Artists get like 9, 10% dog. It's sad. Do you think easy. And the age thing was their, um. File play. I think money was. Money. Money. The, the, cause there's a lot of money came in. And he was holding on to a whole lot of it. And at the time. Like, uh, uh, when ice cube left the group, he was living on home driving a Suzuki samurai. Okay. And so he's from 111 Crip Hood. And I know people in that neighborhood, they would tell me, you know, man. And Dre would have a little bins, but not live in a dope house. Easy had the big mansion. He had the A50. He had the big bins. He had the this, he had the that. It was like, God damn. You see the difference. Ran and Yeller was broke.  And every time you see me with something different, fresh clothes, his house, he had these mansion parties with the giant pool and a thousand more people there. And he feeding and drinking. You see the difference. So I, I'll see why. I think, I think it's just, it's just money, man. We never really had it like that. No. His dad didn't have it like that. None of his uncle say, Hey man, you don't do people like that. Cause divisiveness. If easy was stuck around. And that trip, and that being greedy, he would have ice cube, Dre, Eminem, Ren, 50 cent snoop dog, Nick dog, the dog pound, lady of rage. You know what I'm saying? You can go on down the line. G unit. That'd be all under easy. If you wouldn't did Dre like that. Same thing with should. Should want to control and divisiveness and stuff like that. Got Dre wanting to leave. And now, you know what I mean? He missed, uh, should missed out on having Dre Eminem to two pot for a long time. Snoop for a long time. There's no telling what if we came together with what would have happened. He'd be out right now. Cause, cause should is a, is a, a very smart dude. He's way smarter. People give him credit for it. He made a lot of things happen. From thinking when so much muscle was thinking. So he came together. Do you like the podcast and knew what he doing with Dave. He amazed. That he, uh, what he's just doing. It's a love hate. It's a love hate. You know what I'm saying? Um, because he's, he's spilling the beans. I know a lot of people. And it's more divisiveness anytime divisive for me. I'm not, I'm not cool with it.  I think they need to be exposed. So that part. Yeah. You know what I mean? But anything else. You know, if you're talking stuff or airing out grievances, I think that should be in the private. Like you said, we, we, we don't know what's doing that. You don't see like Robbie Downey Jr. tripping off of, you know what I'm saying? In any of them actors, you know what I'm saying? Tom Cruise, a beefing with somebody and they out there on the, on the, yeah. And when I see Robbie Downey Jr., I'm like, he don't show me hanging out, man. I don't knock his teeth out. You know what I'm saying? You don't see them going. You see us doing that all day long. Wow. And that's sad. That's the sad. You don't hear Telia Swift going off on Lady Gaga. Nobody going off. It's just us. It's just us. Why? As you talk about Taylor Swift, I was reading where Superbowl, you know, Kanye went to Superbowl. Taylor Swift, of course, was there. They show shots of her taking shots. Right. And stuff. Well, they made it seem like Kanye West purposefully got some seats that was like, liberally, like right underneath where she was just to upstage her. Right. And allegedly, she had him kicked out. Yeah. I heard that. Wow. I saw that today. I'm like, do you think that is true? Because allegedly, allegedly, that's what they're saying. Can I think it's possible? Yeah. I didn't. You think she has that much power? I don't think. Did you guys see him in there? You watched the game? I don't know. We didn't get a chance to watch the game. I didn't see Kanye. Really? Yeah. But they showed Taylor. I saw him like, him and his wife walking around like, look like some VIP section on the field, but I never see where he's sat. He's sat. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But then the whole, the whole Taylor Swift, you know, she, she brings ratings. She got kids who don't even care about football, watching football. Watching football. And so I, I could see them saying, hey, Taylor Swift feels uncomfortable with this fool here. Get him out of here. Mm hmm. You know, he's worth a couple hundred thousand. She's worth a billion. Get him out of here. Ever since he, ever since he did that to her on, stay where he walked on stage. And it's been a thing ever since that. Yeah. I don't know if she ever even got over that. I don't think so. But he, he, he, you know, Kanye West is not crazy. Kanye knows what he's doing. He calculates everything he does. So now if you look up his name, how many hits he got since the Super Bowl, he probably got a trillion hits of people looking at his music. You know, he just had new music just fall. Right. Just dropped. Yeah. A lot of celebrities do stuff that causes drama because they want you to say their name and send them the music come out. They got to promote his heart. Do you watch boxing? I don't really care about it too much lately, but I watch it every now and then. Have you, you know, you have the Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney coming up in April. Oh, OK. Do you, I got, can I get tickets? Yeah. Yeah. Man, I've never been to a fight. We want to go to a fight. I'm sorry. That was the one in San Francisco. Well, he's out here. Yeah. I want to go. OK. That's fine. So who you think is out here? April the 20th. Yeah. OK. You know, but these fights, I think they're, they're, they're, they're fixed too. You think so? Everything's fixed. I, I, my, my godfather, Donald, he watches fights. He's probably watching the fight right now. He watches all the fights. So if I go see him and kick it with him, we'll be watching fights. And I'll be like, all right, it might be three, four fights. I'll be like, all right, who you think will win? He might say this dude. And I'm like, I said he wins. I can't predict him. I don't know who's going to win. I can't call. I try.   Like, oh man. Damn.  It's crazy how, you know, the West Coast artist, Kripback was, he was, he was arrested and put back in jail.  I just interviewed him. Like, when you look at all of the different things, when it comes down to the gang violence and the stuff that has happened over the years, what do you think? What do you think it's gotten any better or has it gotten worse? Um, it's, it goes back to me with shock. Because these brothers, even though they're gang banging, they could talk about something else, but they're talking about something hard and how they roll up. And if they do this, they're going to do you like that. You know, goes back to the fatherless. I think this, the last 15 years, it's been a lot of, fatherless kids.  And I think because this rapper brought out that rapper, or you were down with this crew, you know what I'm saying? So you had some kind of two lids yet, almost like, it was almost like a fatherhood, you know, you couldn't do this, you couldn't do that. Without that, now everybody's copying each other. So now it's okay to copy the next dude and they have no wisdom because they don't know that their career's only going to last two years. Every two years, somebody knew come out. When you got Nas and people who've been schooled, got 13 albums. They've been out for 20, 30 years.  These kids don't understand what they're doing because they haven't been, I think, taught. So, right now, it's just off the chain. So they're fatherless. Nobody's telling them not to talk about what you're talking about.  He got houses. He got a rent. He just spent a million dollars in the strip club. Okay. So it's sad. Nobody's saying, man, don't do that. Wow. You think that, okay.  I just talked to a friend of mine and he's going through it right now. What can you... He's diabetic? Yeah. What can you say to encourage somebody out there that might be going through? First, get a full physical blood work. It's going to be, like, six tubes of blood. Wow. Check everything. Raw heart, diabetes, everything. Get everything checked out. After that, if you have diabetes or prediabetic, consult a dietician. Don't take the word of anybody. Mm-hmm. To my professional, because there's a lot of foods that we eat that we might think it's okay for us. And it'll spike your sugar and keep your diabetes going. Keep your sugar levels high. Wow. Diab...  Wow. From your heart pumps. It's so easy for that blood to go all the way down to your feet. I'm six feet tall and then come back up to my heart. You know what I mean? So if you put water, sugar and water is turning to syrup. So if you got that sugar that you're ingesting and you have nothing to break it down, it's going to turn that blood to syrup. So now it's going to go down to your feet and have a hard time coming back up. Now you got neuropathy in your feet. Now your heart's pumping extra hard and now you have strokes. You know, it messes with every organ. Every organ has blood to flow through it. Now your eyes are going blind. Now you can't sleep. Now you got to sleep at and you can start breathing.  It's going to lower my whatever. If you look at any processed food or any rich food, it's turning the sugar and spiking your blood sugar. And so he needs a dietitian to get there to check what they eat regularly and correct it and, you know, change their diet and exercise. A lot of us don't exercise. Diabetes, we walk right into diabetes. You know, we start exercising around 40. We ain't at the gym. We ain't at the park for the homies. We got kids. We got bills. We start working out. Then you're having house party. You got the barbecue chicken and the macaroni and cheese. Everything we eat is bad for us. Barbecue sauce has honey that turns into sugar. Macaroni and cheese, the noodles are white cheese turning into sugar. French fries. Just don't eat none at all. No, you can eat stuff from the earth. Eat salads. Eat breads. You know what I mean? But how many men actually love to eat salad? We're conditioned not to. But somebody who's about to die from diabetes would be a saladologist at that part. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? In terms of diabetes, you pee a lot and you're thirsty. And you pee a lot and you're thirsty. You're tired all the time. You're tired. You always feel like you need sleep. You need to get enough sleep.   And I had them when I had diabetes, but it didn't get checked out. You know what I'm saying? I just happened to get checked out and found I had it. And I told six or seven brothers that around me every day complained about the same stuff. We eating the same. We eating the same. We're going to have the same issues. Right. But since I got it, they're like, oh, he might have. Let me go get checked out. I told all of them to get checked out. I told the story before that. Six out of seven had diabetes when they had prostate cancer. Right. So we need to get checked out. We need to figure out what we're eating and how it's affecting us and what not to eat and try to eat what to eat. Figure out what to eat that you might like. There's a lot of things out there that's good for us to eat that you can make it taste like something. You know what I'm saying?   We go to Popeyes. We get a soda. That soda will turn into sugar. We're going to get French fries. The batter is flour. It turns into sugar. The grease you put it in turns into sugar. The potato turns into sugar. And then we got the fried chicken. Same thing. The batter is made out of flour. The grease, all that's going to turn into sugar. The bread's going to turn into sugar. So you might, might as well eat a plate of sugar. This one tastes as good. Yeah. It tastes better. You know what I'm saying? It's killing your bite now. It's killing your bite now.  We always said we get the eyes, right? That's your bite trying to process all that bad stuff. And it makes your blood thick like sugar. So the insulin's got to break all that.  You over-dose on sugar. Every time you get eat and you get tired, you over-dose on sugar. And your bite's trying to break all that sugar down. And then you kind of get back up. When you eat, you should be charged up. It's supposed to be fuel. You eat the right meal.  You're ready to go for today. We eat terrible, man. I watch so many people. We smoke as the guards. We smoke as the guards. We drink in alcohol. We got the greasiest chili-cheap fries with the jalapenos. That's what's good. That's the good stuff. That's the good stuff. I'm running it down. Right? So go ahead and get in line for the diabetes. You know what I'm saying? Because it's coming your way. You know what I'm saying? That thing is going to come in with a bowl. You're asking for it. Wow. So yeah, get checked out. Change your diet. Exercise every day. Exercise every day. I tell people to do a five-minute walk. Every day, walk five minutes. You have five minutes. A commercial is three and a half minutes, right? You have five minutes. When you walk two minutes, two and a half minutes, one way to stop and then turn around and walk back, that might be a block or two. You keep walking. You can be walking three or four blocks within that time. Before you know it, you might start jogging. Two and a half minutes up and two and a half minutes back. Before you know it, I was running, like sprinting like I stole something 10 blocks. Two and a half minutes and then back. I lost like 50 pounds, boy. Wow. And it changes everything. Diabetes is like you are about 50.  That's because they have sleep apnea from diabetes. Man, thank you for coming on Boss Talk 101. We're going to do this every six months, man. It's been a year since Payback was on here. He's a regular on the show, man. Yeah, man.  What was the name of that song that you produced? I played bass on it. You played bass on New York, New York, big city of dreams. Yeah. Yeah. And he wasn't in the beef. He wasn't in the beef. He just sent me KD, man. Shout out KD in the building.

So, so, so... I think I touched out a story how... No, you didn't. How I met Spice One? No, you might have told me that, but you didn't tell me about E40, so that's what I was trying to get. Well, I tried to cut it short because I could be here all day. So, I played a whole bunch of beef with Spice One. He liked a couple of beats. He wanted to do a song with E40. And so, E40 is the man. It's like, you know what I'm saying? Jesus Christ in the Bay. Hey! So, so it flew me up to Oakland and I produced the song and he had E40 rap on it. Wow, and then... And then I got cool with... E40.

When he does the session, everybody, the momma shows up. So, everybody's there. I get to meet everybody. And remember, I told you how I was riding the credit from Ice Cube? Yeah. So, a lot of times you can kind of smudge words and I'm a hustler. I didn't give a damn. Right? So, I could say, you know, I worked with Ice Cube. Or I worked with Notorious B.I.G. But I just played bass for them. So, you don't know if I produced them or played bass. So, they got a clean work with such and such and such and such. They think I produced them. I just played bass. I didn't have a drum machine, right? I didn't have a drum machine when I met Forty Orspice. I told you the game I did, right? So, they don't know. I ain't gonna tell them. You know what I'm saying? So, they're like, ah, man, you got some beats.  And I brought a friend's drum machine and make some beats. Then, you know, I liked that. Then, boom, I worked with them. Now, I'm getting the money to buy my kids my drum machine. So, Forty's, he's super cool, man. He's like, that's my brother, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, Forty is probably Forty and Debsy.  That's a big shot. Never changed. How big they got them as many they got. You still talk to them the same. They still act the same. And they down, they're the realest people, man. The realest. The realest people, man. Like, let me give you a Forty story. So, you know, I'm working with Yo-Yo. This is mid-90s. So, I'm working with Yo-Yo. She's doing a show at the state, at the sports arena downtown L.A., right? Or near USC, where I was near, the Coliseum. And so, it was her, Kid Frost, West Side Connection, E-40, and a couple of other groups, right? And so, I'm like, we just left for her. So, I said, well, I'm going to go leave and go to the show and catch the niggas before you get on or whatever. So, she's going to put your name at the wheel call. So, I went there to the wheel call. She didn't put my name in yet. She didn't sit her whole list. So, I'm like, dance. Well, I know everybody down there who's performing. So, I go around to the rear inches where the artists are coming in. So many artists were like, hey, I'm cool piece. I ain't got an extra pass for you, bro. I'm like, come on, man.
