Let's find your Rich. Edward Jones, member SIPC. What up, this Jay Valentine co-host of the R&B Money Podcast alongside my brother, R&B legend, Tank. Together we've built a space for artists, executives, and fans of R&B music to reminisce and tell the real stories behind the music. I have no money, I was hood famous. They think you're gonna get everybody out. We lived in a project and real love came out. They hear them music and we had nothing. From Smokey Robinson to Mary J. Blodge, B2K to Jill Scott. If you're a super dedicated R&B fan, this is where you belong. Listen to R&B money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeart Radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

Palm Beach Improv, one tonight, two tomorrow, Saturday. I'm going to the early one Saturday. I have to get to sleep early. Three shows over two nights. How are you Frank? You have to go to sleep early
because you have a show late on Monday. That's classics to God's in. It's too God's in thinking. Don't you find that you that you go to bed earlier as you get older? I go to bed. I'm on grudentime man. Grudentie's I was like, you know, I get up at three in the morning every morning. Like what time to go to bed? 6 p.m. Yeah, that doesn't count. You're going to get the brag about your three a.m. wake up. That's a that's a tinkle break. That's what that is. I have some things I want to talk to you about, but I was wondering, I've never asked you this. Do you get nervous before you go on stage? Not really. I mean, there might be a show or something like sometimes TV a little bit, but not so much a show on say, maybe a corporate event because it's so big and you want them to be really happy. Sure. But when the when you're there for a show that people are all there and paying to see you, it's a big it's already you feel welcomed. Right. Because you were texting me as you were going out on stage and I'm like, man, I'd be a nervous fucking wreck if I was doing this. Oh, no, no, no. No, I yeah, that was in Chicago last week. Right. So I just was, yeah, I just
that's my not my hometown. I grew up in Milwaukee, but one of the Italians, I'm not allowed to talk about anymore. Yes. They're all from Chicago. By the way, the people of Palm Beach would prefer if your shows were earlier. Well, you know what? I do. I know your audience. I like early shows. I'm my as I get older. My audience gets older too. And some young people are like, why are the shows so early? I go because your parents are coming too. Yes. Why were you when you walked in here? By the way, you stress me out. Yeah, like I'll be there in eight minutes. I'll be there in seven minutes. I'll be there in six minutes. And I'm like, I'm not going anywhere. Stop stressing me out. But when you walked in, you were filled with stress. You're on the phone with Tesla. Well, I'm going back and forth because I just bought a new one. I love the car. And it has a, we had them put the garage door opener for some reason. The garage door doesn't come opener. It doesn't come with it. Right. But which I don't, I couldn't care less about. Because I love the cars. But it was, it doesn't. And then after they fix something, now there's like this smell of maybe plastic or something. But I'm not home to do it. My wife is texting me who I wouldn't believe.
I think she's making it up. But my son verified it. Validated. Validated. There is a real problem with that, that it smells like. But then I'm texting back and forth in the app on Tesla and saying, hey, is there, you know, they're saying, well, we don't think anything happened when we fixed what we just fixed. I'm like, I don't care about that. Is it going to blow up? Is there a chance that it could blow up? I don't need, you know, Elon Musk, you know, it seemed like there was going to be something. Okay. You're like, he's on Joe Rogan's like, wow, oh my God. Pull it. What? Jamie, pull it that Tesla blowing up. And we are. Okay. There's a maddening there. So yeah, you know, there's a little bit of South African. Yeah. Yeah. Lost a little bit. Yeah. There's so many great people. We've got so many great people. You're the best people. I mean, not just two guts. And I'm doing quiet Trump. We get a very quiet Trump. We get a very, very, very quiet among webts. But we're doing so many great things. We've got so many great people. We've got the great Mayor McCheeze. If you heard of him,
he's doing a great job over there in McDonald's Mayor McCheeze. Officer Big Mac and Elon McMuffin. They all do. Frank, it delighted me. I know you're going at this. Well, nothing has made me happier today. A little birdie told me that your name popped up. Okay. Yeah. In the Epstein files. Yeah. And if there's a file, you don't want your name popping up in. I'm guessing that you don't talk about it. If you're in there for bad news, right? Not that there's anything good about it. You don't offer it up to anyone. But there is. There is. So when that stuff came out, my son, my wife texted me and he goes, Joey has something to tell you. My son said, go what? She goes, he's just got to tell you. So he goes, he texted me. You know the, because we're standing next to each other, but my son still texting me. Right. He's like, you know, the Epstein founds I'm like, I've heard him. He goes, do you think you're in him? I'm like, what? And when I was at the Palm Beach improv, the old question, the old Palm Beach improv, not the new one, which is tremendous. A lot of
people talking about the new Palm Beach improv in Wellington. You got a name and after yourself, aren't you? Apparently Jeffrey Epstein. I'm going to have, we have got the airport and now we're going to have a comedy club. We're going to have, we're going to combine the two. We're going to have a comedy club airport. We're going to, we're going to have a hell of a hell of a hell of a hell of a hell. And we're going to take LeBron James to all those games. Even though he doesn't like me. Uh so. So he googled or he looked at justice.gov searched my name in the Epstein files and there I popped up because they were Epstein and his cronies bought tickets and came to a show. Right. And they were deciding whether to come to the early show like you. I only know the early show. The early show they work on to the late show and funny, not funny, the terrible thing on the tickets is 18 and over. So I've got these tickets on, it's onjustice.gov, it's me, my name on there. And you know people, you know, people are like, are you worried about, I'm like, no, I talk about it. Right. Because if I didn't talk about it,
then I'd have the problem. Yes. It's the people who don't want you to know they're in there, but I was in there tangentially. So it's an email exchange between Jeffrey and friends saying, we're going to the late show, the river. Yeah. And then there's a ticket with my, with his name printed on it, Jeffrey Epstein. And it's real, right? Because it's, it's not just a picture, it's onjustice.gov. And it's creepy, but at the same time, you know, kind of like, okay. I never thought I'd find any sort of left there within the Epstein files. Yeah, here we are. And everybody knows it. And I'm still terrified to laugh. Yeah, right? It's creepy, but you're like, okay, I like I said, if you're in there for the wrong reasons, but if you're in that tangentially, I like, yeah, I can deal with it. Did you save a, did you save the ticket, a screenshot? Are you honored? It's, you can just look it up anytime you want. That's stuff. So they'll show many things and blacked out. Just so many things. Wait, so what show was he supposed to come to? I'd have to look, I'd have to look and see. Because did he come to the show or was it over by that? I don't know, wink.
No, I honestly don't know. But here's the creepy, even creepier thing. That I think that was the, it was on my, I didn't even notice this. But I think it's on my son's birthday and my family was with me. Wow. So that was, that's even creepy. I don't know if that was the, maybe that was the email. I don't know if that was the email or the date they came. But it's, it's so weird to see his name on a ticket and then my name. And then in email exchanges going, are we going to the late show, Kellyanne or the early show? Well, the weird thing is seeing your name in the Epstein files. Could be worse or could it? At least he was a fan though. Yeah, I think. I sat, sat. And I didn't think it could get worse than it just did. But how did I become the creepy one on your show? I don't know. How did that happen? I don't know. I'm sorry. Listen, Palm Beach and Pro. That's what it goes. That's what happened. I do what you got. You want to do one show tonight.
Two shows on Saturday Palm Beach and Pro. You know, I love the movie Independence Day. Yes. OK. And so I have put a speech in front of you. The famous speech by Bill Pullman. But I always wondered what that speech would sound like. Had they cast Al Pacino as the role of president of the United States of America? Good morning. Less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. Robert De Niro. We cannot be consumed by our petty differences anymore. No, we cannot. Madding little bit here. OK. Little bit. Do whatever you want. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fake that today is the 4th of July. And you will once again be fighting for our freedom.
Melkiver. I'll talk about tyranny. Not from any tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live to exist. And at the end of the day, we should win the day. The 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday. But as the day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into the night and also eat as many hot dogs as possible. That's what I've got. I'll tell you what, man. I'm thinking about those hot dogs there. We will not vanish. This actually would be pretty good as a group, man. Yes, we will not vanish without a flight. I almost want you to start over and do the entire thing. We're probably going to, man. We're just going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we celebrate our independence day. Let's start this thing over. Let's do a little Robin Williams. Yeah, do the other thing. They're doing a reverse thing. Everything working. Many men. Good morning. It less than an hour aircraft from here will join others from around the world.
And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, man. That's one word that should have a new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be knighted in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, man. And you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution brought from annihilation, man. We're fighting for our right to live to exist. And should we win the day? The 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday. I love America, man. But as the day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we will celebrate spider two vibranana man.
It was better as great at independent stuff. I'll tell you what, listen, we to kick those aliens asses if we had spider two vibranana back. They're running, they're running Tampa three. I did come on, man. What are we going to do? We're on spider two. You know who the primary is on spider two vibranana? The full back, man. It's the full back. I'm tempted to have you do it as every character. I just want to hear like the first line. It wouldn't sound like if Bill Walton did it. Good morning. Great is this. It's actually not great at all. In less than an hour, which will be the time I get to the middle of the speech. Aircraft from here will join others from around the world and you'll be launching the largest serial battle in the history of Western civilization and mankind. All right. I'm just trying it out to see how it sounds. A two shows Palm Beach Improv. He has wanted ideas too tomorrow. Jim Rome just doing the first sentence. Good morning. What is up? Less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world.
And you'll be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. mankind. What a great word. Do you think that speech would like if Morgan Freeman did it, it'd be more controlled. I'm not certainly would get the troops pumped up, but I'd like to hear it anyway. Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. Freeman's actually perfect. It's quite good. I did play the president a couple of times. My wife loves your Freeman the most. That's her favorite character. Wow. Well, she's an ex-later. Who also wants to go to the early show. What's happening? Early show. Palm Beach Improv. Way to promote it, buddy. Morgan, I'm sorry. No problem. So can we try it out one more time? Let's try out. Adam Sand, hey, good morning. In less than an hour, guess what? Aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in history of mankind.
Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. Hey, what are you going to be attempting to do? We do aliens coming in. Yeah, aliens are trying to get us, but we'll spend this going to save us. Three shows, two nights. Palm Beach Improv. I have another movie script for you. You can put that one. You tired? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Do you like the movie Miracle? Have you seen that? Yeah. Yeah. You're familiar with her, Brooks' speech to the to the guys before they went out and played Russia, right? Yes. Okay. So who do you think is the best character to do this? Well, the best character. I was thinking I was thinking I would like to hear if John Madden were a hockey coach instead of a football. Yeah, I mean, great moments are born from great opportunity. That's what you have here tonight, boys. I mean, that's what you're wearing here tonight. One game. If we play them 10 games, they might win night. I mean, I mean, I know that's like those Dennis on those, you know, those toothpaste commercials.

In February of 2024, celebrated illustrator and children's book author, Patreon Ather's, and her husband Michael, nailed letters to dozens of friends and family members. Let them know that they had died by suicide. By the time you get the shalliter of both Petra and I will be dead. Next stop, Wonderland. Patreon and Michael were by all accounts healthy, happy, and in love. Why did they do it? And what did it do to the people they left behind? I would have given a million reasons to not leave this world had I known. I keep coming back to a truly hope that Patreon was a thousand percent on board with the plan. Do you think of him as having killed her? Yes, I do. I hold my corner responsible for my mother's death.
I'm Leon Nefak. And I'm Alice Gregory. Together we set out to interview everyone who got one of Patreon and Michael's letters, as one married couple trying to understand another. Listen to death of an artist on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm former U.S.M.N. National Soccer Team player, Carly Lloyd. I'm Fox Sports reporter, Jenny Taft. And on our new podcast, whatever it takes, we're talking motherhood, marriages, careers, and figuring out how to balance it all. And we'll discuss the game that brought us together because nothing is off limits. Do you remember your initial reaction when Fox called you to be a part of the World Cup? I was like, no, I don't want to do it. You said no. I played with players that didn't, I don't think that they really truly loved the game. I found the love with the ball at my fight. But in my head, it was the long game. It was like, I don't care what I'm being asked to do at Fox. I'm going to go get some reps and I'm going to learn it and love it and embrace it. He said, this group of people will never be in the same room as part of the same team ever again in your life.
And it is your job to make sure that you enjoy the moment, you're proud of what you accomplish together.

He goes right back to the yogurt and granola. Jalen, I was a fan of you last year on the Patriots because my roommate in North Carolina was Mac Hollins and I kind of just root for whatever team. Whatever team he's on. You signed with the Ravens this off season. What led to your decision, signing with the Ravens and trusting your future with coach Miner? You know, just going through it, going through that process, man. We're in our options, obviously. I'm seeing, you know, how much this team and this franchise historically has been great and seeing just, you know, what they're working towards. You know, I was just like, man, I'm going to be a part of that and help that out.
You know, I'm saying, which is obviously the pinnacle of the Super Bowl to win. So, yeah, man, that's what it was. I was afraid about it. And now we hear and, you know, in the season of a long season, you know, just getting started. So, playing on, you know, weekend, week out, you know, doing what we got to do to win. Is there a hit that you've made in your career that you're proud of stuff that stands out for you that you think about it all the time? Like, man, I got that got good. I got a couple of his, but like, it was when I was younger, but there at Lee Gouda. I thought nothing. Like, I got the way out the game. That's when I was in college. I had a pretty good hit this platform and Dallas. I met somebody in the hall. I got it pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good hit. About a week ago, I'm pretty sure. I'm the new man. I just, you know, he's trying to make something to strike zone, trying to make sure, you know, I get penalized.
I don't get, I don't get thrown out the game when he's like that or fine now. Now it's fine. Right. Yeah. I'm gonna say that. Yeah. One of my favorite things to ask the defensive players when they join us is who's the toughest guy to tackle. And a lot of answers we get are Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson, who just both happen to be on your team. What's it like going up against them every day in practice and thankful that you're not going up against them on Sundays? Oh, man, those dudes are crazy. Like those dudes are, you know, generational talent is man. Lamar, obviously, you see what he does every Sunday. And that's what he is. Like that's one of a kind right there. And then he could throw he, he, he's a playmaker. And especially like being a defensive player, playing against that caliber of player is kind of tough. It's hard to plan, plan off for that. And then when you play Derek, it's like, then you have to come up with a whole, uh, tackle him playing. And you got to make sure you don't get stiff on or ran over.
You know, so you got to figure out, you know, what's body part you can grab. Cause he's coming down here and he's like afraid train. So I would just say, man, those, those two guys right there, man. And then not only that, man, just the people, like the type of person they are, like really good people, man, genuine, cool, kind, walk around the facility, talks to everybody, work hard, you know, day in the day. Oh, so I got a number of respect for them. So who's the hardest guy to tackle? Who's the hardest guy to tackle back to the questions? You know, I'm not talking about teammates. I'm just going to go. Yes. Somebody who's sifty and like, I mean, I'll say D and Derek Henry for sure is like, I'm the hardest guy to tackle. I'm playing against him. That was pretty tough. Yeah, maybe Gibbs or someone like that. Go ahead, Taylor. You mentioned that Cowboys game is probably the game of the year so far, that game in Rio. I'm trying to workshop a take and I would love your support as a defensive player. The only thing Prevent Defense does is prevent your team from winning.
I mean, it depends how you coach it though. Right. I feel like it just, I mean, I don't know how they coach it, but it just depends how you coach that Prevent D, how deep you are. The depth that you have, you know, because obviously you're trying to protect. And it also depends what you're trying to protect. You know, I think in that situation, they're trying to protect the touch now more than the feelable. So they may be a little too far back. I don't know. I feel like it just depends how you coach it. Well, you nervous before you played in the Super Bowl last year? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah, I was a little bit. I mean, it was out of the little jitters, man. A little bit. I was more, I'm just so excited. Right. I was still, I was telling the know like I was, I was as nervous as I thought I was going to be. Right. And then obviously when I got to the game, I was, I was, I was vibing and then like, I think we're really kind of get to as like, you know, the longer, the longer intro, the longer, uh, plenty of elite national anthem stuff like that.
You kind of just sitting there like, okay, when we, when we go and get going, we come here, like with, you know, I think that's what kind of gets you to, but yeah. And I was really excited. I had some jitters. Right. Do you prefer a one o'clock game, a four o'clock game? Six thirty seems way too late. Like you have to wait around all day, man. That's too much, right? Four. I like four. You like four. Four. Four. Why do you like four over one? Four allows you just to, yeah, go ahead. You can sleep in before you can sleep in. I don't want to press back a little bit. You got some extra time. You know, look at things. Do what you want to do. And then, you know, it's kind of a good mid spot, you know, when you're done with the game, it's not too late. So I like for it. I should patriot fans be behind Drake. Now you played with Drake May. So you took it to your Super Bowl. You guys all went to a Super Bowl together. And patriot fans have been getting on them, although we played better last week in beating Buffalo, N. Josh Allen on the road. Patriot fans should stay loyal to that kid, right? He's going to be great. You agree? That works best.
Most best, man. None but love for that dude. Yeah. The respect, you know, just says him is a player person and everything, man. That kid has obviously a bright future. And, you know, just because you, you know, everybody has hiccups, you know, it's the list. It's part of being a professional athlete. It's part of being an athlete. It can't be perfect. So, and I know him. He, you know, he has the strong, you know, will to bounce back. And I know he's confident. And obviously he's held the talented. So, yeah, they're just resources. They run. I don't see no reason to switch in that. I watch Switch Up on somebody based off a couple of games. You know, that's kind of weird. But, you know, that's how fans and things are nowadays, immediate. And, awesome. Yes. Yeah. You didn't want to say it, but I'll say it. Oh, go ahead, Dale. Here. He's coming. Yeah. Jaylin, as a cow golden bear, I know Fernando Mendoza went on to have the most success at Indiana and Winni National title there.
But do you have any problem that it seems like Indiana gets all the credit for Mendoza when it's like a lot of his work came from being a cow golden bear? It did come from being a cow within a day. You went in that Maddie dough. It's a little different. When you, you know what I'm saying? So obviously, I feel like Indiana, you know, that team was very good. And so, like, you know, going over there, that really changed his trajectory on things. I feel like I mean, cow obviously helped, you know, grow him and build him. But obviously, you know, he went to different school and did what he did. So, if I was Indiana, I would take the credit, you know what I'm saying? And also, the cow takes credit too. But like, you wouldn't deny it. You know what I'm saying? And then like, you wouldn't defeat it. So it's like, all right. You know, you came over here and turned up. So it's like, all right. Yeah. I would say, yeah, we take the credit, you know what I'm saying? And I do see like certain post where cow football, you know, sat in my leg. When he got drafted, they're like,
it sounds like a renanimate dose, you know, cow grad, and then also Indiana, you know, it's just a little more powerful when you win a national championship. You got a little something for the Falcons this week because they waved you, right? You got something for him. You've been thinking about this one. You circled it. Yeah. This game is my second time playing. It says leave it. So I decided to leave that program. Nothing but respect them, you know, nothing but respect for them, you know, because I think today, you know, they helped change my life. You know, I got a call. They gave me the call they drafted me and stuff like that. But yeah, I'm a realist here. It was my first time playing him. And you know, I had that game so good. And this year, you know, I'm able to go back to Mercedes for the first time in my career. So decided to go out there and do my thing. All right, Jaylen. We appreciate it. Jaylen Hawkins for Aven Safety. We appreciate your time, sir. We'd like to have you back on more often. I want to talk food with you. Just food, okay? Oh, man, we could talk that one day. Then we'll do it.
Where are you from? I'm from New York, man. New York pizza. Oh, yeah, you know, Flo, yeah, you know, Italian. You know, you know, you know, but I'm not a bit, last thing. I don't know if New York knows Mexican, no food like that. You got a turp. No, I mean, we do. We pride ourselves of having. We pride ourselves on Italian, on steak, and on dirty water dogs. I just asked Amario Davis, the better food city, New Orleans. Or New York. And he was torn. I think it was a slight nod to New Orleans. The food is so good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I'll talk. Listen, if you want to carve out an hour or two, you're busy schedule. I got nothing to do. I'll just be sitting here waiting for you. I'm on my mind. Come on. I'm going to hang up. And I'm going to get your number in just a second. We appreciate you doing this. Good luck against Atlanta, man. And thank you again for the time. We appreciate it. I've been going. All right. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to hang up. All right. Thank you.
