Let's write the end Because you know what you just said something dope, right? This will first let's do something like if we get like like your solo situation And we're in it all collectively So No They all got solo projects. Yeah, you've been right Yeah, they're one of the only groups that actually all five of them have their own solo projects. That's very true That's a really believe they they never stop working no matter what was going on. That's something to be uh Definitely applauded Uh-huh, you'd like to do beats Oh, shit, I like to write and sing. I like for personally, I just like to sing but I'd like to write Can you sing something? Uh-oh Can you sing like since you've been gone? Wait should be attack on that motherfucker Don't do him like that You listen we can't give that away yet You should let them do something that was off each one of their individual projects I got some really amazing music Okay Oh, so y'all Okay Don't you be playing because me and you been working on music for a long time too Yes, no the gospel Gospel sex was definitely So how do you blend in the gospel and the sex Well, I'm a written. Let me tell you something the lord already been gotten this over So I just jump in the group with them and then you know, I became a sex symbol because I look better than him 100% 100% Now who looks better than him? Oh, Brian finer than all of us Oh Yeah, that's my dog Have determined who was fine I didn't know that Man, I appreciate that man, thank you so much man, but this is about you guys right now And 100% but I'd really do I ain't gonna even friend y'all y'all y'all coming back together collectively and uh, you know what I'm saying This is a resurgence y'all on uh, y'all y'all on millennium two two. Yes. Yes. Okay. It's only right It's only right So y'all doing verses I mean, I mean, who are we doing versus? Yeah, hey, tell me who have people been throwing out there And nobody good versus Somebody won't just smoke, but I don't know honestly If we go on the verses like the other verses that we just saw yeah, I could do danity came No, that would be different That would be interesting. I think it would be more entertaining Yeah, I think that that would be a dope bad boy, you know reunion versus get together I think we'll get a lot of ass in the verses No, no, we'll get there. I'm wait a minute. Now y'all think the job would keep the women's asses Not like really per se He said it They gonna they gonna lose Absolutely Yeah, women are just so Like right now. We're so dope Even if you thought you were gonna win just give it to us. Hey, man, but hold on. We don't take it anymore. We'll have women not been dope Thank you Y'all If they said it that's gonna say Mike said all the women's What if y'all learned from the past verses that y'all not gonna do not drink before Probably Did y'all watch the Oh, I'm gonna definitely talk I love when you don't want to talk about Yeah, okay What were you thinking when you watched it? It was entertaining Like what was going through your head? Did you expect it to be the the response? Um, hey, they own two with the niggas Yeah They're on a tour with the guys. They're on the millennium tour everybody on the tour Everybody's on the tour. So they're not finna do that Do what? No, I don't know what your opinion of the verses is. No, Mario came out there and kicked ass That's what you're gonna get. That's what you're gonna get. That's what you're gonna get from this. Yeah. Yeah like like Hands down Mario was professional. He was he was on point. You know what I'm saying? What was on point everything like, uh, you know in my opinion like I feel like, um That verses should have been more concentrated on like the actual music instead of like niggas getting out there and performing You know what I'm saying? Because like verses to me I felt like it was you know, it's more of celebrating like the great music that all these artists have like But you know, it looks very competitive now. Yeah, I think people prepare themselves to like change the format They definitely change with that with that verses. The format has changed So now when people see verses now, they think Need to talk to shit and give me some kind of performance to make me feel like But it was supposed to be just songs, but it's different now No, it is it's a different platform But it's a reason for that because we're not in a pandemic anymore. So they gotta let it You know turning it to make it a little uh, right? I want to say Make it delicious. Yeah, so everybody's all tuned in to see but you know what? I think that it was in a form of like a healthy Congratulating or remembering that time That time for that. Yeah Right So you do you guys even like that platform? Yeah, yeah And it's a couple of different reasons right Because you know, it's the the majority of groups even though they have certain songs everybody's not a vocalist right right You know, that makes it difficult that makes it super difficult, you know different eras We didn't have a lot of people in our era for us r&b Groups so it's like kind of you know, they won't say like pretty ricky, but that's more of a rap r&b It ain't and it's only one vocal And at some point it comes down just to records which they have the records, but we got the voices Yeah, it ain't too many people that can do a verses with j2. No, it ain't two that two groups No If we take it back to the 90s Yeah Drew Hill Outside of that we kind of like You know what do we do and you know I feel like the verse is kind of like opened up a door for like r&b Like for like groups like us and groups that can actually Sing, you know I'm saying not saying that they didn't they can't sing or anything Not saying that but it just opened up a door for an opportunity for like groups like us, you know what I'm saying The conversation is definitely back. Yeah And listen, I want to take this moment right here while we're talking about this You know I'm saying to get y'all to like get them a little taste of y'all individually so they can see what I'm talking about All of you guys sing Individually and before a group Already yeah since you've been gone, I just can't seem to get And I miss you more than you'll ever know Girl, I just want a chance to talk to you and let you know that I changed Since you've been gone, I stayed awake all night This bed just ain't the same without you and I feel like I lost it all Since you've been gone since you've been gone from me That was perfect That's that's that's that's that's that's that's I promise and everything I got I paid for it. All right I'ma let jack do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, let jack do it and don't type in day 26 either No, put anything go to my library. I'm gonna let you do it. I got you. Okay, but get off of apple I've been go to my library. That's where we are. That's where the truth. That's where the truth comes out But you didn't before the show no, it might tell you how long Yeah Hey, man, after just hearing that live man, I got I got a question man like cuz that was exceptionally dope. Thank you um You ain't gotta say who it was But have y'all ever burnt the knickers Did that shit they came on and born Right after that pause they couldn't follow it. What was the burn? They couldn't follow it. Oh, yeah Right, yo, no, no, no, no, y'all remember that one show my focus we had my focus like Fucking microphones and shit We had a sound take that was actually trying to miss about our mics Every night whooping ass every night, but we're gonna come put up with the ass whooping every night. They gotta get we got this So y'all were the openers they were the headliners and they were Yeah You see this type of shit on movies and what now, but you know that the average person it's gotta come from somewhere I heard about that I heard about in the past y'all burnt niggas on the screen tour We've been It's gonna be good though. Yeah Hey, what's going on man? It's your boy jack thriller man. And uh, yo, listen, um when i'm talking about matters of the heart Uh My go-to is my play a part of music so child. I love this second. It's called love according to music Music i had a question for you, man. Here we go again. I know you like No, it's cool. It's cool. Yeah, that's what i'm here for All right, all right so I was talking to this girl and she keep on using this word and I don't get it. Okay. It's called Situationship. Ah, what is a situation ship? Our relationship so a situation ship is anything but a marriage Basically, um, that if I were to translate that, um, again, I don't know this person and I don't know where You know what her meaning is but that's what it sounds like to me anything but something that's locked down solidified committed to Agreed upon mutually with the intent to follow through, you know A situation ship is Whatever the status of the relationship is at that moment, you know with whoever Um, and it's not necessarily exclusive to one person um, so Just like the other episode when we talked about, you know, the concept of being single until married Um, yeah, I think that that's all of that gray area You know, so it's it's it's a it's a it's a it's an engagement You know with a person I don't mean like the ring engagement I mean, however you engage with a person under intimate circumstances that don't really have Any real structure, you know, it's really like Whatever y'all say go at the moment You know, like y'all want to meet up and y'all want to go eat Yeah, y'all want to, you know, go hang out play golf. Yeah, I want to go to the movies Yeah, I want to, you know, yeah, I want to, you know, Netflix and chill. Yeah, I want to Oh, no Netflix and just chill, you know, like it's it's whatever it's happening at the moment, you know You know conceptually I would Uh, uh, also equate that to friends with benefits so to speak so, yeah, um Anything but a solidified Committed relationship as that's what my understanding of a situation ship is I'm definitely satisfied with that man. Thanks a lot music This is love according to music. I'm jack griller. I'm gonna see you next time And then the niggas dance too at the same at the same fucking time. Yeah So do y'all do that now? Yeah Because how long ago was the show? This is our 50th anniversary. Congratulations. No, you get better with time that way tomorrow Congratulations So are y'all still all cool with diddy? Yes, that's the homie. So is he a part of how you guys put together? No, no, no Yeah, dr. Love ain't got nothing to do with us anymore. Yeah. Yeah In the girl, but we are thankful for the situation, you know You know, these guys the the whole movement, you know, we got a we got a uh a responsibility You know to keep the movement going, you know what I'm saying Did y'all feel a certain type of way At this uh this past award show No No, because we had a because we had a like we had an opportunity to do something like come out with them Like when he did the bad boy reunion tour, so it was supposed to have been something then but you know, it just didn't work out So, you know Okay, so y'all know the people want to know why is it not working out. Let's see them y'all on the new jacket Well Is it right? It was You know what I'm saying like that's one thing like I've I've actually come down a lot on Okay, you know what I'm saying like I've always been the person that was like super vocal, you know what I'm saying I felt some type of way. I did say y'all how the fuck can you have a bad boy reunion? You not have dates what he said, but it's a very valid very valid He's saying that we're working on that and we're talking to them and it's making it happen Oh Ain't on it what kind of is this and So could you explain that? Hey, we almost got this shit down. No communication. I had no idea What's your zodiac sign, right? I'm curious The greatest and he's not a jealous guy. I'm not at all My name is Brian and I'm an Aquarius And I'm like a long walks on the beach and I like a woman that's quiet Mrs. Universe So that just closed down the deal period Yeah Hey, I don't think that was worth it though. It is what it is. I don't think it's worth it either But who gives a fuck Okay, so 15 years later we were young and we were going crazy over y'all what has happened in 15 years Y'all are obviously grown men now. So what's different in y'all lives from when you guys were on making the band? Four kids We loaded over there how many boys how many girls two boys two girls. Wow super loaded. You got five And this what I got three girls two boys So some fucking A whole lot of childhood I would say uh mental health, you know, uh mental health awareness, um just becoming more aware You was definitely the first crazy motherfucker Let me Earlier, you know, I had a problem with management. Okay, and when business isn't right, you know, I'm gonna get very vocal about it I don't care. I was very young. I didn't care how it looked I didn't care if it looked like immaturity or anything like that. I was expressing myself because I felt like I was being cheated out of business Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with she was expressing herself. I was very emotional about it because I I feel like I work hard for everything You did bro. Yeah, no, you weren't crazy. You did Yo, what's your sign? I'ma leave her That was very difficult, how did y'all get through that? Jesus You know But it was Jesus to that hunger at this at that time So we're really it's hard now that I think about it, but when we was doing it We was like I was just like I had a battery in my back. You know, I'm saying like just great So everything we saw that was what See we from that era of reality tv where it was real Yeah, not, you know, no disrespect to any other reality shows, but y'all know back then what you saw was like Right, it took you it took you six eight months to film a show for one season. Not three weeks Did you say What do we not see what you mean on the show Oh nigga, they could they all the shit that we saw were crazy as fuck. So I know we saw everything Yeah, they let them off because I ain't We got Let you they don't skip a beat. They want to go to the bathroom. No You can't even whisper in the toilet. Oh, yes If there's two people in the toilet they coming in they don't care if it's a woman or a man If they are you talking If your lights are off in the bedroom, they hear whispering all of a sudden boom Lights come on camera all over your head like oh man relax, bro Now the the reality starts they kick in the producer's ass They kick the hell out of here.

I told him what the fuck he was doing. I the shit tomorrow The reason why I reached out was because I felt like God put on my heart that I need to call And speak to each of you to make things right Regardless of whether or not I was gonna be a part of the group or not. You know what I'm saying? I just wanted to make things right with y'all. You know, that's dope. We need more men and women Let's take that accountability to bring it back together. That's what it's about. I like you my brother No, that was dope. That should touch me just now because I've had conversations with him in the past about this like This shit this this shit sound great that you I'm listening to I like all these songs But man, go get back with your dog. This it don't look right when it don't it look right, but it don't You you I felt it was just way too premature for Michael Jackson moment right now You know what I'm saying? You got to let that thing do what it do in similar And yeah, yeah, yeah 100% Oh, but what I was asking though was like people from other groups You know I'm saying they're coming up on solo artists saying hey put me in the group Like a destiny show Oh, wow, it's a fraternity We had to get strikes to get in this group And a person in just because you feel like you can be in it Right. On top of that our fans won't allow that. I'm gonna be honest, but they're gonna be like, what did he do? Like he don't you know, he don't fit in with the story. I don't got no back story You gotta have a back story to get him out of the moods I'm a fan and I don't like when I see that, you know, if I see a group that's really dope And then you see another member or whatever and they probably get I'll sing the original one But it's just something about that original that Time out time out So y'all mean to tell me y'all had a problem when Michelle came our fairer came in Disney child That was a group.

Y'all know he used to strip. I tell everyone You know what? Somebody told me I was like not my brother. Not my brother. No, he really was a stripper Tell me your name, boo. Uh, it was bob wire. He's small, but he'll cut you. That was my mom. Oh, wow I'm good, I like what you say Brother What On a good night what you made. Oh, I had a Wednesday night that was just dope for me because I had the same Customer and she used to bring me the same thing. You know a lot about this this delicious night. Yes it must be. Right out of like Wednesday nights. Because we had certain nights. Like it wasn't like you couldn't be a male jiggaloo every night. You had to hit that one night where it was accepted and that's that Wednesday night. He been trying to expose me for that one bro. Me too. Me too. And Jack. Yeah. You remember why you quit? Yes. Why? Because the lady I was talking about that brought me the money every Wednesday. She got very, very, very possessive. She showed up. She showed up. She showed up one day not all of it up and stuff waiting on me to go in. And I didn't know how to say no because how much money I've made from her. So I was like, dang, what do I do? And then she got belligerent. She took it? No, she got. No, what she did take, she had bought me a dope leather jacket for my birthday and presented it to me. You know what I've been doing. So I used to wear it on Wednesdays because I know she'd bring me money. She took my jacket. She took everything. I'm like, man, just leave me alone. She took a jacket bag. I said, Lord, if you get me out of this, I'll never strip again. The money is good though, man. I'm gonna just be honest. The money is amazing in Detroit because it's a scene. It's a real scene. No, it is. But Jack said he used to make $47 a night. That was a good night for me. But listen, I was dancing on South though. I was dancing on South. It's all nuts. The worst? I was a straight gummy bear up there, man. Two bears in a worm right there. I got butt naked on the first song. Now you know you're embarrassing the family. Don't do us like that. The good thing is that it pushed your music. I had a song called Creole that was playing like crazy out there. So I was able to actually push my music through that. So I was still doing my thing. I just noticed the market, like, you know what I'm saying? Now I got a whole city knowing my record, a whole city of women, but that's who you want to know your record anyway. So it worked out in my favor. So I wasn't just stripping to be stripping. Yeah, I had a 10 minute signal. It was bitches over money for me. I was a bum. B.O.B. B.O.M. So you didn't get no money. You just rather get paid in bitches. I got paid in bitches and I had gas money to get home. I know Willie said, no, y'all need to get off this stripping because he wants to, but I just got to know, what was your stripper name? Willie was in Chocolate City. That was an act. Now you, now you gotta have a little bit and you know I'm friends with your wife. Yeah, I'm a bad mother. Were you ever a stripper in your day? No, no, no. I always said, if I did it though, I'd be a bad motherfucker. Okay, cool. Rob, what was your name? Magnum. You know, I go by Magnum. This shit is getting more extreme. You know what? I think we should change something, too. That's what I'm saying. What y'all want me to do, Rob? We don't want you to do nothing else. Hey man, do you have a question? This is my last time that y'all ever call him Magnum. Hell no! Listen, y'all gotta know this. That one, I don't team call him Magnum. Y'all know nothing else. Yeah. What does this name work? I call you Magnum. I ain't call him that. It just trickled over into that. It was actually from my music. It just means a thing. But I mean like Magnum P.I. or Magnum P.I. Just like the biggest thing. Yeah, I thought of Magnum P.I. Extreme. It was music at first. It just tripled over into that because it makes sense. I don't care. I don't like it. I'm never saying that shit. So when she come into the strip club, everyone said it was like Magnum. And if y'all remember the song, it's this. I remember the song. So that's where it came from really. It's the song. That's what's up man. She's the reason why my name is Magnum. Okay, y'all. We 15 minutes in now. I'm sorry. I got you my papa. No, I ain't one. You threw him this way. I was going back to this group. Hey, so y'all shooting a reality show right now as we speak. What's going on with this? Is this like making them after the band, after the show, it's the after party? What's up? It's for the day ones, man. We knew how entertaining it would be for us to be in any place together. So just getting all them conversations. Off our chest about what would be what would happen at certain times with Q. And just trying to will this whole thing and get a yes. Whoever had the issues at the time is being addressed. And letting the fans be able to join in and hear the conversation. Hear how we mend things and how we build this thing back up and get on this stage and just roll and kick everybody's ass. One thing I can appreciate though, like this time around. I know like everything is so drama driven. You know what I'm saying? I feel like us as Black men, we already come out with like, we're born with a target on our back, you know? So it's like we're already fighting. I was in Target earlier. We're good. Go to Jackie. Go to Jackie. I mean, right in the middle. Yeah, I did. Me too. But like, you know, we come out fighting, you know what I'm saying? Automatically. So like, I'm happy that we're in the right now. We come out fighting, you know what I'm saying? Like automatically. So like, I'm happy that we're not like, resulting to what the average reality show is resulting to like violence and throwing drinks and fighting. You know what I'm saying? Like we're actually like hashing things out as we started in it. Yeah, that's how it is. I'm talking about it. Don't get that. Don't get it twisted. It's a few fights though. It's not a lot of fighting. It's a few. It depends on what you fight about. We sprinkling in here. We sprinkling a couple fights in here. Yeah, we was fighting about stupid shit too. It was about stupid shit too, Rob. No, he just get his point off, man. Stupid stuff too? It was more passion-driven arguments. So with passion, you understand, like he believed what the fuck he said, he believed in it and it clashing and everybody gonna see exactly what they both saying. But you know what I mean? And how they handle it. But it's an order. Right. As older men now, we can look at it as a 69 situation, you know what I'm saying? Whoa, pause. Come on, man. I'm telling you. I know. I know. I know where you're going. A six. A six, bro. Six looks like a nine. A nine looks like a six. On my side, your side. So we can look at it as different ways now, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, because you guys have grown, obviously. But speaking of 69, man, do you still talk to Dunn? You still talk to Dunn, bro. Speaking of 69. Speaking of 69. I mean, right now I don't know how to answer this question. What? No, I mean, I don't know. I don't know how to answer this question because I haven't communicated with her in a long time. So I don't know how to answer questions about this. No, he said that you still talk to her. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. No. So you don't, you actually. So y'all like really had ended up on a bad note, ain't I? No. Just grew apart? Yeah. Just a relationship, though. I was telling you apart. It's just, you know. What would you say? We had some disagreements, you know what I'm saying? And, you know, everything, the picture that was painted, everything, how it seems, you know what I'm saying? The camera and the storyline that y'all saw in front of us, behind the scenes, you know what I'm saying? It could be totally different, you know. That's what I was asking you about. Y'all didn't go together for real. The y'all have anything going on. They went together. They went together, man. Yeah. But it's over now. And life goes on. Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord. You guys and stuff, you don't want a bunch from under there. Look, I like that. You like, no, we got a show tomorrow. Yeah, that's what everybody's going to be, you know. Yeah, but everything's good, though. You know what I'm saying? Everything's very good. You know, this is a really good conversation, which you're just bringing up right now. Because, you know, will he be the voice of reason in the group? No. Fuck no. He ain't the one to keep you, he's not the leader. I think it varies, like, between all of us, you know what I'm saying? Like, we all have, like, our moments. So what do you each one of y'all represent in the group as far as keeping each other, you know, in line and together? What are y'all known for? Who y'all to go to for what? Who's the angry? You're angry? Who's the responsible? Who's the money guy? Who's the business guy? I'm angry. He's the angry guy, like a motherfucker. Fuck you. He's the business man right here. Who's the easy one? He's the asshole, right here. Nobody can be easy going. I might ask. You're probably more easy going to anybody else. He seems very easy going. Who's emotional? Me. That's called toughness, right? You look like it's both of them. I think it's these two right here. Rob and him? They're both emotional. Who's the most irrational? Who's the most irrational? Irrational. Like, their points don't even make sense. Just jump off for no reason without hearing what's going on. I feel like you're directing that. I start off like that. Yeah, I'm about to say it. Now, we just had this situation the other day and it was definitely this. I think we all know that. Conversation is key to every relationship whether it's a business, a romantic relationship, whether it's a relationship, it's key to everything. So there was something being discussed and it wasn't being properly... Received. No, conveyed to me. It wasn't like... You didn't get all the information you needed the right way. Are you misunderstood? I'm very misunderstood. That's what it is. I know. Come on. No. Hey. I like the... Whenever I'm talking to a group... Who am I? Whenever I'm talking to a group, I always... I'm always in the frame of mind. And I've asked like five heartbeat questions by like six of them already. Now, you remember that one scene where they was on stage singing and shit and somebody pointed out a girl in the audience and I'm like, oh, that's the bitch you like? Okay, I'm gonna sing to her, too. Have y'all ever done that right? They competed for a woman. Yeah, or ran a train. Just in case. Or ran a train. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. He just slew that one in there. Yeah, I heard you slipping in. You just slowed down. Hold on. Have y'all ever competed? Let's build up. You just told all of us that you were gay. You didn't even build us up. We didn't get the part. We didn't get the part take in any type of train. Running off the train. No, y'all were young. She was quiet. I don't know what you're talking about. A train is like, yo. Oh, we know what a train is. We don't do that. You for the school us on trains? Now, train is when you go first and then you tag your boy. He goes. Nothing I've ever participated, but that doesn't mean I'm not familiar with what it is. I know. I'm not very familiar with it. Did you do the sideline? Uh-huh. No, I'm not talking about what they're like. No, I'm talking about what they're like. What they're like. No, I'm talking about what they're like. Because I know they're lying. No. I know they're lying. Yeah, not you. No. No. I can't imagine you doing no shit like this. No. Okay, tell them. Okay, who wants you? You want me to tell you a secret? Uh-oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You want me to tell you a secret? What? It's a bandage shit, bro. Get the hell out of there. Jack, I'm gonna say it. You want. No, I don't know anything about the train. No, we don't protect anything like that. No, but I know that you guys were very young. Yeah, we were young. And y'all were very wild. We ain't do it. And y'all were very sexy. And I know that it was like, I'm sure y'all had y'all own women coming after y'all before y'all were famous. But once y'all became Day 26, I'm sure they were coming like left and right. So, to answer your first question, because I ain't going to damn train questions, but that's your first question. No. You never banged each other's girl by mistake. What? Not your real woman. Just sure you met her on the tour. Okay, so you already answered it by not answering. Thank you. I figured this already. I assumed that that would happen. Yeah. Man, why do you try to prove this? I'm going to show your growth. No. Listen. I want to show our growth. There's a lot of growth. Know that. The growth is there. So, if you want to know, I actually put online and I told my fans, I said, listen, I'm interviewing Day 26. And they asked you like that? Oh, I got questions. I know. They want to know some shit. They want to know some stuff. I know. Because you got to think about it. You guys, it's five of y'all. Yeah. And y'all, always together, fighting, touring. We've had guests who have told us that, yeah, you know, sometimes we keep the dome. I'm not going to stay in an out situation. Well, guess what? We got happy homes. We ain't trying to fuck that up. But they probably knew that back in the, oh, oh, oh. Oh, and they don't know. Oh, you married a home girl. Oh, shoot. Yeah, I'm married a home girl. Congratulations. She's white. Yeah. She ain't no damn man. That's a good woman, man. No training. That's a good woman. Yeah. No trains, no cars, no planes. Hold on. It's the one I'm talking about, right? Yeah. Okay. What are you talking about, Jack? I used to. Your brother? I used to go do him by the law. He was blessing the earth. That's what he said. Yeah. No. He was just being fruitful. He ain't multiply. Yeah. Yeah. No children. Yo, so, man. Yo, Q, man, let's talk about, I want to know what you was doing. Did you go do your own solo project, man, while y'all was having a downtime? Let me see. Let me think. Did I? I don't think so. No. I didn't work in those solo. No, because I was going through, I was going through depression, brother. Oh, yeah. No. In music period. In music. You went in that mode. You know what I'm saying? Really? Yeah. So was it the fame? What got you there? Well, because, one, I felt like I worked hard for everything, and I was giving like pennies and shit. And when you get in that lifestyle, and they changed the way you got to look, you know, your whole lifestyle changes. So when you go back home and you're not able to sustain that financial lifestyle, you know what I'm saying? People start talking about you. You know what I'm saying? I was young. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, damn, I can't keep up with this. You know what I'm saying? So it caused me to go into this really great depression, man. It was crazy to where I had to get, I talked to a doctor just to clear my mind out and to clear my thoughts. And now I'm 33 years old and I'm a lot stronger, way better. I see things a lot clearer. You know, I'm an observer. That's dope. What would you say to men? Because there are a lot of men right now. Just on some seriousness, if you guys are connected to social media, there are so many different people that are taking a position to address the mental health crisis that's going on right now. Oh yeah. I mean, I've actually suffered from that since going through my separation from my husband. Oh wow. And yeah, and it's crazy because you don't think that you could be a depressed person if you've never experienced it. Exactly. I'm a depressed person. So when I saw myself on making a band acting like that, I immediately wanted to get help and figure out why was I triggered like that. Because that didn't come from the person that I represent. It was very different. So what do you say when you're speaking to other young men about getting into therapy and handling the mental health crisis that they're going through? I would definitely tell them don't be silent. Speak up. You know, when you're silent, that's when you suffer. You know, when you're scared to speak up because you think you're going to be judged or no one's going to understand you. You know, speak up to people that you can really trust. Right. And sometimes when you put that trust in those people, it's hard because they betray you. So you got to really find people that you can really, really trust. You know, that's why I say a doctor or a therapist. You know, you can't really trust them either. But you know, talk to someone serious who can clear your thoughts, you know what I'm saying? Or talk to God. Talk to God, yeah. For a long time. Talk to God. How did you, did you guys know that he was going through that? Could you see that? Hell yeah. Yeah, we dealt with it as a group and tried to, you know, shield him and protect him. Y'all knew it was depression? We didn't know where it was. I feel like this, I feel like this, like us, like in the black community, like we don't like, we kind of like look down our noses when it comes to like therapy. But like, yo, like, this is the Charlemagne all the time. Like mental health. Like mental health is like a real thing. It is. And it's okay. It's okay. You know, like black men, black women, like it's okay to go and sit down and talk with a therapist. Like that, that shit is, is, is healthy. It's necessary. What would you do if you had a heart attack? You would go to the hospital. To a doctor. So this is a part of your body and is one of the most active, you know, parts of the body. So I think that men, especially black men have been conditioned to believe that they have to be strong. They're not supposed to cry. You know what I'm saying? That's a sign of weakness. You don't need help. You know, you're supposed to do that in behind closed doors or whatever. And that was just, that was backwards and primitive. And I think that more men, especially black men, need to speak on how we need to be human. But it's nothing. When people speak on mental health, sometimes you don't know what other people are receiving. So sometimes they just think you're bullshitting or, you know, not being serious about something, not wanting to do whatever you, you're supposed to be doing at the time, not understanding that you're really not yourself. Right. You know what I mean? And so that's a hard thing to explain to anybody. You eat people around you. You know what I mean? So it's definitely difficult. Do you speak about it? I just started speaking about it because I was embarrassed at first about mental health. I was like, you know, I like how everybody is. But then recently, when Brian came back and we all just started like talking, I was just like, I felt the release, you know, and I just started opening up more and was like, you know what? My story can change someone else's life. It can change. Somebody can kill themselves. That's dope. And has anybody else in the group suffered from mental health or felt suicidal at any point? I mean, I'm sure they all, at one point, all of us. When you went through a situation with diabetes, you know, you was just bruised around. I really, at that point, I really, I counted myself out of day 26. I counted myself out of music and everything because I've never been sick ever in my life, period. So to be here with something like diabetes, just letting your life and then how, how, how it really hit me like to the next, like it hit me next level. Like, you was handling it real good. Cause remember, he's gonna say we in a singing group called the sugar diabetes boys. I said, bro, don't call me. I'm not in there. We was eating candy all the time. I can't wait now. But go ahead. But no, the mental health part of it though, I didn't feel like I, I didn't want to be a burden to that situation. You know, that's where my, I started feeling like I'll be a burden. Like, oh my God, like I was shooting myself six times. I'm at four times a day and it count eight. If you count, Oh, got you. with insulin. The way it got that far. Yeah, it was, it was really good. Thank God. Like I was, I was able to reverse it. I had to get my mental health together to be able to reverse it because I just, it took over everything. Who told you you needed help? My wife. Okay. Um, and my wife and my father, my father's a bishop, you know, and he was one of the people that actually talked to me about actually talking to somebody because I'm like, I've been taught to talk to God my whole life. And that's the only person I feel like I need. Right. Because he ain't gonna go, he ain't gonna go tell my secrets. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Whatever the case might be. So, but he, my dad didn't inform me like even as a pastor, even as a bishop, I've talked to someone. I, you know what I'm saying? So it took a lot of that. And then, you know, and a lot of me just seeing this situation and not wanting it to be like that. Right. Like I am. So, you know, I just got on my grind. I started drinking. I started drinking my water. I started working out. I started changing my diet a hundred percent. And then I was able to turn it around a hundred percent. But I had to get, I had to get out of my own way first. Yeah. Now that talk to somebody and tell them how I felt. That you needed it. Yeah. That this was happening to you. Yeah. It's hard to be sick at, especially if you've never been sick before. Period. You need to deal with that. Right. That's tough. But I'm glad that you guys all got help. I mean, all of you had to go and get some type of help for that. Mm-hmm. And do you guys think that the main culprit was fame? No. Man was my father passing. Oh. So for me, it was a different ball game. I think I've been stronger up until that point. Well, actually it's a year, you know, a few days actually. So it's been a year since he's been gone. I think it, I, man, I was gone. It's hard to try to be a father, a husband, you know, to try to be the provider and everything else when you, not even yourself. Right there. Yeah, man. So I had left, went to Sedona, tried to go out there, walked the mountains, talked to God. It was a struggle. Because, you know, nobody would really, that's what I was saying, nobody would really listen, understand what that is. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think that it is so flawed that more men are talking about it, though. Yeah. Because it's compelling. Because there are more people that are going through it than that are not. Yeah. They're just not speaking. For sure. Totally dope. Okay. Yeah, I got us really nice and emotional. I don't even want to talk about trains anymore. I was going to bring it back. I was going to circle back. In the room. I was going to circle back. You know it. No, just like. I like it. I like you too. Thank you. So what's next? What do y'all want people to know about Day 26? New album. Oh, yeah. Crazy. Okay. New album. New album. Crazy, man. New album. Exclusives, bias, E and T. N city, my manager Norm, We always talk about when you see a legendary group and they come out later on with new music. So are you y'all sticking to the day 26 sound or y'all going with some current shit? It has pointing 저희 and we convinced Oh, you saying like a boy it out like we're going back to the heart man we're gonna make people fall in love again okay because that should be getting weird sometimes when you see niggas that can really sing and they start goddamn you and a gang now and then we know we got a core fan base that we got to stick to and that and you know everybody knows that but we definitely trying to we definitely trying to grasp a new fan base to come along with them so what we did was we hooked up with the exclusives that give us that sound that we need that give us that core group sound that y'all all love and used to but know how to put it on a way that it sounds good with the radio today and put it on another level that so I don't have to try to step up to you chasing radio man it's all just great music bro if it touched the heart I think that's gonna be the biggest translator right there the fact we sing it straight I think the magical thing when we started creating the music is it was it was done from scratch with a piano so it definitely isn't for like it could be for radio but it wasn't like the purpose like oh this might be the purpose of this album is is for our fans and for new fans to actually get back what they call R&B being dead it's not we finish show you why it sounded real classic right now it sounded real classic but that's why we dedicate everything to our fans we are working on it right now so we got our names we can throw out there but can we speak on the yeah Ralph can we speak on it no no okay oh so y'all do that wait no clear yeah no we got a couple of dope features but that's dope and then you guys are on the tour right so when does the tour start October 7th what's the first city Hampton okay man go and give everybody our social media man you know I know y'all got some more famous shit to do we're gonna hold y'all up official day 26 y'all make sure official day 26 mine is I am Brian Angel again I am Brian Angel that is man day 26 y'all y'all give it a for one more time like I always say you just can't say you really something you gotta be thank y'all for coming to the new Jack thrillers show
