we got coming up in the zase spot?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And man shots number one? Thing get pop in R
and B's boys that book. Let's jump into a z
spot entertainment report, and let's talk about this man did
he faces new allegations of forced labor in.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
This superseding indictment.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, so uh, basically forced labor, forced labor that he's
being alleged of forcing employees to work long hours under
threat of physical and reputational harm.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Okay, and and.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
And forced at least allegedly forced at least one employee
to engage in sex acts with all important because it's new.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Indictment.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
So basically saying they forced employees to work long hours
with a little sleep by using physical force, psychological harm,
with holding money, and threatening to harm their reputation.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Okay, well you got the whole. The forcing the person
to have sex thing, it's crazy, But the other one
sounds like jobs across America.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Not here's the thing. I think the thing that really
resonates with me and telling.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
My kids to do stuff at home, don't go to
those sessions is out that thing.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Because think about when you remember when we used to
watch making the band and need be.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Like, hey, walk to this and do this. Y'all don't
need to be. He recorded it on the TV show.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
So if you put that on the TV show, then
think about what you do you've done behind closed or
think about it.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
You don't think that's you think that's regular man. Listen,
and I've had jobs. I'll keep it one hundred. When
we worked at foot Locker, we had to be worked
at seven to get the store ready. We didn't go
home till like twelve one because if the shipment came in,
we had to break all the boxes down and stop
the shipment before we left.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
So like for me, I'm just like, y'all.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Paid out of hours, not what we shouldn't we You
didn't You wasn't getting like overtime. You just got your
You just got whatever it was because we worked on commission.

Speaker 2 (12:28):

different level.

you had to do it. That's not that no you
pardon you, pardon, no creak you parton, but you was
on your feet all day and you only got forty
five minutes for lunch. You was on your feet all day.
What I'm saying is, I mean I worked terrible jobs.

If you work a twelve hour day, you should get
more than forty five minutes.

crazy hours and do crazy stuff as well.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I don't work crazy hours.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Before when you threw the whole forcing him to have sex,
and that changes the dynamic. But forcing to be worked
crazy hours. Been there, done that. So in your defense,
you said, you said you made them walk to go

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Then? I mean, I think I still think why didn't? Like? Oh,

their reputations.

We've been ready, Chicago, y'all ready, all right, let's get
serious because we got to help somebody. Dear Leone and
Zach what's up. I never thought i'd be in this situation,
but I really need some help, real talk.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
So.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
I've been with my boyfriend for two years. When we met,
we were both big and we connected over that. He's
never been nothing but good to me, kind, loving, support
of all that.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I had weight loss surgery last year, and now my
whole life is different. I've lost over one hundred pounds
and I feel like a brand new person. I'm more confident,
I'm active. I love working out and just being out
and moving. I feel alive in a way that I
never did before. But my man, he's still on the
same thing. He doesn't want to hit the GM with me,

(26:17):
doesn't care to change his lifestyle, and honestly, I feel
like we have nothing in common anymore. I don't want
to force him to be different, but I also can't
ignore that I'm out here evolving while he's staying the same.
It's like we're living two different lives now, and that's
what's messing me up. I still love him, and he
hasn't done anything wrong, but is it wrong for me

(26:38):
to want something different, somebody who's more.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
In tune with who I am now? Or am I
just being selfish?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I feel guilty thinking about leaving, but I also don't
want to be stuck in something that doesn't feel right anymore?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
What should I do?

Speaker 4 (26:51):
A six six eight eight four shots number one for
here proper and R and B A man love him,
believe it man. Young lady wants her guy to slim.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Down with her.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Yes, yes, yes, so so she she was overweight. They
were both overweight. She had weight loss surgery and it's
changed her whole lifestyle. She wants him to get on board,
but he won't. So now she's feeling like ah, she's
outgrown on a relationship and she can't do it no more.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
She wants our advice on what she should do. A
six six eighty eight five one seven five. Let's go
to the phone lines. Who this? Where you checking in from?

Speaker 10 (27:25):
This thing from the west side.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Now you help this young lady out.

Speaker 10 (27:30):
I'm gonna help out. She lost like she should have
been there for her man for him to lose weight too.
You don't leave him behind. If y'all connected over that,
then you keep that connection and you grow it.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
She said. He don't want to hit the GM though
it change his lifestyle and.

Speaker 10 (27:41):
That's why she should be his motivation.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay, you can't make no grown person do nothing though,
especially no grown man.

Speaker 10 (27:47):
Can't make no grown person do nothing. But women have
power to motivate me pimple all.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Right than you, because he's never gonna man, g who is?
Where do you check it in?

Speaker 5 (28:05):
From this sweety from two nineties?

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
I felt like in the first place, if you got
with him, I think you never really want to be
with him in the first place, because you know both
of y'all was already did. And my my best bet
is you neither let him know. You know, this is
gues's gonna do with our health, and if he just
can't roll with it, then I mean you might as
well just start slaying towards the dinner table towards us.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I feel you just feed him different. You're making partner.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Shops and greens and devil with eggs, talking about he
needs to lose weight, how.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Starts every day?

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Bright, You gotta ease it all to him every then.
If you love the man, yeah, man, if.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
You if you down with him, you got to help
him push through it.

Speaker 10 (28:46):
Now.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
If he just ain't trying to cooperate, then you might
have to lay down an ultimatom.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Or some old tomatoes because he.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Just needs to eat better probably, you know what I'm saying,
and uh, just just getting motivated to it. You know,
sometimes people just hearn't motivate. They not might be in
that place right now. But I don't think you should
give up on them, especially if you don't have any
other reason than this, because you've you've changed in different things,
Like I understand that you were ready, but he's got
to have his time to have that mindset too, So
I wouldn't give up on them immediately.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Slip some slip some crack and it's polish.

Dvish Bronnie James plays in the NBA with his father Lebron.
They go back and forth. It's no secret we know
the reason why Lebron Brownie James Jr. Is on the
Lakers team because it's daddy wanted to play with his son.
And let me tell you something, I ain't got a
problem with that. I commend that you had enough juice

(31:05):
to make these people grab your son.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Cool, but you got to take what comes with it.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
And all of the reporters and the pundits that don't
think Brinnie should be on the Lakers, they're gonna talk
about him, one of them being steven A. Smith that
just signed for five years, one hundred million. Brian is
seen after the game rolling up on steven A. Smith
and telling him, you can read his lips, keep my
son out this sugar honey ice teeth. I don't know

(31:32):
what stephen A said, but if stephen A said I
don't think Bronnie deserves to be in the league. The
only reason he's there is because of his dad.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Well that's true, that's true, But I ain't mad.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Brian. You gotta brush some stuff off your shoulder and
just keep it pushing you. Le bron James Son is
in the league with you, and I don't even hear
Bronnie say nothing about it. Bronnie don't care. Bronnie be
chilling Man. So why don't you take your son's advice,
you know the way he handled it and move around.
But Brian, I gotta give it to you, even though
I hate you. Man, sit your goo fast down.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
It's on the scoofy.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
Yes, people more, I don't want to seven five GC.

Speaker 4 (32:13):

one two six million.

Speaker 2 (32:17):

oh yeah yeah, oh you no.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
I'll just be getting out of my body sometimes.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
I just mentioned up to my hush studies. But you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
One on seven five of e GC hot Shots number
one R and B. She boy exact boys up to
your spot Entertainment Report.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Now.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Gabrielle Union had went viral for doing an interview where
she said she was believed in fifty fifty. She wanted
a fifty fifty relationship and everybody was like, hey man,
you made do Dwayne Wade, he made a lot of
money in the NBA. Well, well, now she did a
recent interview and she says she's got to change your heart.
She talked about finally letting go of the fifty to
fifty concept in her marriage.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Check this out.

Speaker 11 (33:09):
Fifty to fifty is I'm not going to be vulnerable
enough to trust you with one hundred percent of anything,
not my heart, not my cash. And when I started
to really address that and I was like, do you
want to pay whole mortgage? I thought I was about
to die. I had such anxiety, like I was crying,
I was shaking, and he was like, you insisted on that.
He's like, I thought it made you feel better. I'm

(33:30):
like it did, and right now I want to take
it back. Now it sounds crazy to be like you,
mister NBA superstar, made a bazillion more amount of money
than I do can pay the mortgage because I hate
the feeling of releasing that to someone.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, now I will say this, and now, if you
are not married to Duwayne Wade, I don't know if
this is where you should go.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
I just think this.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
I think fifty to fifty is based off your situation. Okay,
some people can do fifty. It makes sense of him
do fifty to fifty because they both earning up, like
to keep the household going, they need both incomes. If
the man can take care of it, then he should,
and he probably wants to. But some guys go fifty
to fifty just because they don't make enough to, you know,
keep everything going the way they want.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
So it takes two incomes to run a household.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
And I think I don't think nothing's wrong with either way,
but I think you got to decide that for your relationship.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yeah, I mean, and then the people that do do it,
the guys that or the guys that do pay all
the meals and mortgage like that, show him some love
because it ain't easy, bro, It's stressful.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
It's very stressful, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. Yeah. Man been there.
