G of today that's here like my teenage Tracy self is also here and she is
0:18
having a ball because she always watched this woman on television and took note
0:24
of her incredible communication skills took note of note of her decorum of how
0:30
she's able to weave in and out so beautifully with these guests and also
0:35
how she's been able to evolve past 106 in Park where many of us were first
0:40
introduced to her but she's also been a correspondent for GMA she's also been a
0:46
correspondent still is getting paid when it comes to Entertainment Tonight we've seen her also we think about how the
0:52
podcast industry is so oversaturated but she has still been able to stand out
0:57

1:10

1:21
the whole Scorpio situation so yeah but I didn't know we were birthday twins you were up here i love it not up here i was
1:27
in New York i'm still getting used to this situation look it over this is in
1:32
I'm happy i'm so happy for you and and I appreciate the the beautiful introduction honestly I appreciate that
1:38
from the bottom of my heart but I learned from the best at the end of the day come on don't do that i learned from
1:44
the best i I I had to watch somebody figure out how to do how to figure out
1:49
how to do this stuff so you you're the iconic legend when it comes down to it so I learned from the best listen coming from you I just got goosebumps hearing
1:56
that i can't There's no way between you and Angie Martinez there's there's my
2:01
blueprint to how to do this stuff it's you guys honestly wow heather do you hear that alex you at me every day i'm
2:08
glad no I'm Yeah cuz I'm with I don't deal with him i feel you that's how I feel about Dion too i'm like they were
2:14
like "Oh my gosh Dion Sanders." I'm like "Bam." That's exactly so our Scorpio connection
2:21
connects for real me you and Tracy can share that but Sway and I were talking with someone the other day um from
2:28
Billboard magazine and he asked Sway what was the highlight of his career one
2:35
of the highlights and what is it like working with Sway and Sway took a minute to try to figure out one of the many
2:42
highlights in his career and I was like McMackenzie look you have to realize this is a man from Oakland California um
2:50
who grew up in a time where you know your mom and your dad they told you go to school get the education maybe one
2:56
day you could be the first black president of the United States but this man
3:02
actually sat in office with the first black president of the United States and
3:07
I don't care what kind of prayers your grandmama pray or your mama or your great-grandm that's just not in the
3:13
cards to pray that prayer that one day my child will sit in the office in the oval office with the first black
3:19
president of the United States you don't even know the how his first term his first term and so we get to share that
3:27
the words as you said we get to share that with him every day and sometimes I have to remind him like bro yeah you
3:34
people know you and everything but take a minute sometimes and embrace these blessings that God has put on you
3:40
because you have made monumental moves in front of generations you know like
3:47
that that's a real thing y'all have touched and I can still touch the back board now I gave you a compliment even I
3:54
can't walk in the heels like I used to you ain't touching the back boy roxy don't don't drink that Heather be
4:01
Kool-Aid i need you to have faith in me you just gave me a pound well I but I I hear what you're saying cuz u on a
4:08
episode of More to the Story my podcast my best friend literally poured into me
4:13
exactly what you're saying and saying that I don't take the time it's challenging for us to look at it because I feel like we still grinding like we
4:19
still every day trying to figure out okay how what what next what next i feel
4:25
like we come from an era of what's next and a lot of this a lot of them today
4:31
are like I'm popping right now this is gonna be always and don't understand the what's next you know and so it's
4:37
challenging to like sit back and be like oh this was a great moment or this was a great moment because I feel like I have
4:42
so many great moments let's practice it though let's do it with you i'm I'm trying what right now let's talk about
4:49
one of what was u when I sat let's say for example when I sat for with um President Obama his first term in oval
4:54
office that hadn't been done for through our culture live on TV um to your point I had to learn all the policy 75 pages
5:02
of policy i was super duper prepped so prepped that afterwards it never sank in
5:08
till years later wow do you have a moment like that in your career it was with Obama with Obama come on
5:14
that'll be the one to do it yeah it was little it We didn't realize because for the first administration and the second
5:21
administration uh 106 was very heavily on the Rock the Vote campaign that's right and so we were we were out
5:27
campaigning we were on the road um didn't get the opportunity to meet him
5:33
in person in the first uh you know the first uh I'm blanking right now during
5:39
the first term thank you uh during the first term they zoomed in to 106 and Park okay at that time the second term
5:46
um I was privileged enough to sit down got chosen by uh former for former first
5:54
lady Michelle Obama to interview her and Dr biden as well at the time um before
6:00
she was uh while she was VP first lady and um that was when I got to be invited
6:07
to the White House and see him and that was the first time ever and and wasn't there for him
6:13
um you know how they bring you into the the corner room and then you do all the business right here then you got to move on to the next room and I'm sitting
6:19
there I hear this commotion outside and I'm like he's outside that door and I
6:25
was so mad and I because I knew I could cuz Secret Service is looking like all the people are here like I can't move
6:33
you and and I was just like man I did so much for the first and second term going
6:38
campaigning wrote it and never met him and one of the butlers there overheard
6:44
me telling somebody my story and next thing you know I had somebody just putting his hand on my should my
6:51
shoulder and he's like what up little lady what up Roxy and I'm like it was him oh my it was him he came into the
6:57
room just to say hi to me and I was just like I would that that's how cool he was
7:02
and then from there being mind you at Entertainment Tonight not at 106 at that point at Entertainment Tonight and
7:09
having the White House call and say and I'm not the host mhm but and you know
7:15
all the peoples up there they're like "Well we can send this and that." They're like "We want Roxy Diaz to come
7:21
and interview us because we understand she understands us." Yes that was the
7:27
biggest honor I could have ever had to be chosen like that and I'm not even the at that time I'm not even a host i'm
7:33
just a correspondent i had to learn the ropes all over again when I was at ET
7:38
how so what do you mean yeah because um you know you you you're you're the
7:45
star when you're TRL you were 106 in Park you know you're the star uh I got
7:52
to entertainment the white people didn't care anything about when 106 and park they never even heard of it they didn't even realize I had eight years of live
7:59
television experience before being there they just knew she I I was popular they didn't realize why they didn't know why
8:05
but then my audition for Entertainment Tonight I was going to ask if you had audition i did have to audition but my
8:11
audition was to interview Denzel i said "Y'all pick the right one." I said "Just don't say that it's me
8:18
walking in and that his publicist nobody knew that it was me doing the interview." And that was my audition was
8:24
to interview him for um Flight I think it was and I walked in and he was like
8:30
"Man." And then literally the whole audition he was like "I can't even talk to you right now because it's Roxy."
8:35
Like like I can't talk to you i'm like "Well you need to talk to me because this is an audition audition right i need your help but it was because of
8:42
that audition I got that job but that's just because of the this because of the
8:47
culture because we take care of each other and we continue the stars that were our 106 and Park stars our TRL
8:53
stars are now like the A-list stars now so it's like and it doesn't change so we just all grow up and and we keep on
9:00
seeing the same faces and although other people won't understand why we popping we've been popping we've been popping
9:06
y'all just now getting y'all late y new to Y'all new to the pop off we already
9:13
Let me ask you this we popped out yeah we've been Kendrick so I I had a similar
9:18
experience um stepping outside of the MTV networks where I I thought everybody
9:24
saw the Obama interview right i thought everybody saw you know uh hottest MC's
9:29
all the different things we rap fix streaming live all these different things we created and not hard a lot of
9:35
people did not see that and so you almost got to humble yourself and I
9:41
think that's a part of the game that folks don't really understand all the
9:47
time like it's nothing wrong with going "Oh man they don't know who it is." It
9:52
It gave me vigor to show and prove 1,000% i'mma show you i'mma show you better than I could tell you yeah yeah
9:59
1,000% i agree let me ask you this there was we we always see the highlights and hear about the highlights but I've had
10:05
some faux paws i've messed up live on TV right human got to so there was one time
10:10
I did this New Year this New Year's Eve i've never even talked about this New Year's Eve spe uh special and I was
10:17
hosting it in Time Square live on uh major network for this brand and all I
10:24
had to do was say this one line 5 4 3 2 1 oh man and I I messed up the line and
10:32
accidentally said the competitor's name i did that tell me about it what
10:37
happened i did that during my audition for 106 you said TRL i said pimp my rides
10:45
cuz we had Exhibit and Exhibit was like you know we on BET right i'm like oh my
10:50
god like I the the most fumbling that could have ever ever ever happened was
10:57
the hell week that they put us through when they were trying to be a DJ who wants to be a VJ but for us it was New
11:03
Faces at BET and that hell week they put us through it was like
11:10
um every there was 10 10 of us at the time trying out and then it was like do
11:16
a man on the street do a do an interview go live on 106 different challenges that
11:22
they would give us throughout the week and then mind you they plucked us out of obscurity all of us like we did try out the first round
11:29
um so I had only did a man on the street so I was there from Monday only doing
11:36
one man on the street thing to Friday hadn't they had nothing on me I had did nothing and so they're cramming
11:43
everything on me on that Friday so I had a pre-in before going live on 106 mind
11:49
you did radio before 106 and park and everything like that Roxy on your radio no
11:56
yeah that I should get all of this stuff man um Ludicrous was supposed to be the
12:03
the person that I interviewed on 106 in part so I'm texting Chris i'm like "Yo
12:08
got it in the bag this is going to be great." They we tape they taped two
12:14
shows that day chris was the earlier show i was the live show so it wasn't Chris wow and they switched it to
12:20
exhibit fine cool not a problem but before that I had to interview Jim Jones
12:26
okay for me I'm like I just saw you in Chicago this is perfect you dip set was just there we were just promoting the
12:32
album camera all of the things i was like "This is this is going to be great." They told the artist to give us
12:39
a hard time cuz they wanted to see what we would do under pressure let me tell you though last person you want to be
12:45
interviewing giving you a hard times is Jim Jones
12:51
shoot me just shoot me and he was high and then and he's just laying back and
12:58
just zero fs given nothing and I'm like yo but you like you
13:06
I just saw you doing giving me nothing and I was spoiling like I I let him get
13:14
to me and I was like okay I said well whoopde-woop since since you don't want to talk about your album you know let's
13:20
talk about what everybody else wants to talk out where was you when you mans got shot at how would you university cuz
13:26
they said you dipped and everybody looked at me jim got out of character there he's like "Yo get this." And I
13:33
said "I don't care." And I ripped my mic off and I walked out i was like "I don't care." Like "What's the point if he don't want to interview?" You did that
13:39
live it wasn't live TV it were like in a control room like situation pre-tape thing uh but right after that I had to
13:46
go live on 106 so now I'm flustered i didn't know at the time jyn told me later that when I walked out the room he
13:53
was like "Yo she she she the one like she the one." And I had no idea about that he told me years later "Walk out of
13:59
there now I got to get thrown onto uh 106 and Park exhibit." Wow then the Pimp
14:05
My Ride pimp My Ride yo you was just And that's Reginal Hudland's words
14:12
exactly you had a hell of a day huh i'm like just tell me I didn't make it right now
14:18
let me go back to Chicago and and go do keep doing radio i was shocked but
14:24
what's the learnable lesson that you took away from that what a day though oh
14:29
even when you think you're doing worse somebody's looking at you and seeing your best to be honest with you come on man i love that got to pick it back up
14:37
huh and look at you now right and he said he was like "You didn't fold you didn't fluster you kept him moving." And
14:45
I I attest that to radio to be I always tell everybody that radio really is the
14:50
f I know people want to jump on TV jump on the gram do live things i'm like man
14:55
learn the foundation of something first and I had the privilege to do street team produce work the boards then I got
15:02
to crack the mic you know overnights just liners weekends
15:08
then you get a shot to you know get a full-time gig if you're if you're
15:14
blessed like that and and that radio really everything i attest everything to radio yes indeed and that's that that I
15:22
too uh contribute that to the sustainability the longevity because you got those basic fundamentals people
15:28
going up and down like roller coasters but your trajectory has just been constant and consistent uh Roxy Diaz is
15:36
here we talked about the new show on Tuby we got time today yes sir with Dion
15:41
Sanders okay so compare Dion to Terren J to Bow
15:50
well as co-host I've never had to work with Bow but Ba So Ba and uh I I always
15:55
say Bao is Bao is amazing and that I I always tell him you know it's my idea mr
16:01
106 apart become the host of 106 apart but I can't take all the credit but I did I did say it in a meeting okay um no
16:08
Terrence take that Stephen Hill right he knows I remind him all the time uh uh
16:13
Terrence Jay and I have still to this day a special bond
16:18
because at the end of the day nobody and I won't even say free and AJ because
16:23
they started with 106 so they got to be there at the very very beginning right yeah but now you're talking
16:30
about nobody has ever had to go from literally nobody knows you onto the
16:35
biggest show on a network and now that's your pressure and come behind two
16:42
household mega star names so Terrence and I's bond is different cuz we really
16:47
had to go through that together and we're like whether they like us or not we here we at least here for three years
16:53
cuz that's what the contract says that's what the contract says and it ended up being seven and a half years so it was
16:58
you know it was a blessing um we had a lot of growing that we went through together uh that's just that's just
17:07
different so I couldn't even the the the love I got for TJ and what we was able
17:13
to build our foundation in television with 106 and Park which I'm super grateful for um is completely different
17:20
dion is a star dion is a star it is his world and we
17:27
just live in it uh and he is but he is phenomenal of a person of a human being
17:34
of like a big brother can talk to him about anything will joke he he he jokes
17:41
and has fun and I think I I think that we got time today shows a a side of Dion
17:47
that's not coach even though we all call him coach on the set too but it's it's it's
17:53
Dion like being him and and and really letting his guard down many times and
17:59
you're just getting an authentic version of him not a reality show version i'm talking about like a professional talk
18:05
show opinionated black man who is an icon and has done things that nobody has
18:10
ever done in the world of sports or just in general so um think he's the greatest
18:16
athlete of all time well I have to I think about that no cuz then Uncle Mike
18:21
might get mad at me you know uncle Jordan oh yeah yeah okay my bad let me take that question back anyway i don't
18:27
want him to get mad at me that won't make the video no dumb question all right but I love
18:34
that you mentioned that we get to see a different side of him because we know him as a superstar athlete and as a
18:40
coach and it's like okay where's the human and it makes me think about this evolution of media where you know some
18:49
decades ago a host didn't have to really insert their personal life oh yeah it
18:54
wasn't about what was going on yeah we come from that is but now you know with
18:59
the inception of the personal brand with folks having an emotional attachment you
19:05
know to whomever they're viewing it's like okay bringing some vulnerability to
19:10
the airwaves or to the camera is that something that was ever challenging for you to embrace and I say that Scorpio to
19:16
Scorpio because we love our privacy um I'm a very private person when it comes
19:22
to me personally and my family because I always say that I chose this they didn't so I protect my family at all costs i
19:28
never like my mom is the only one that's cool with being on the gram or you know getting the shout outs and being on TV
19:34
with me but other than that nobody else um but we come from that era though we
19:39
weren't I wasn't opinionated on 106 and Park i was I was a I say
19:44
this with all respect of my of my career but we were puppets we were teleprompterss we had questions we did
19:52
this we no opinion on radio back then you were you had to bias you didn't this
19:58
team or this team or whatever no no no everybody's a winner right so now
20:04
um at even at Entertainment Tonight it was very very very strict they they have a mold of how
20:12
they did that show yeah um I think when I got to really like play at like E and then even at HLN and
20:22
CNN and then um grow a little bit more and and then it started becoming the
20:27
normal like oh no we want somebody that shows personality you can be fun you can be this because I was always taught that
20:34
um even on the show we got time today like I take care of the business part i make sure those those ad sales are read
20:42
that I make sure you know we go to commercial when we supposed to go to commercial and Dion's the star know your role like Dion it's Dion's show you know
20:49
I'm not trying to be the star that this is Dion's world so you get in where you fit in and um I think to answer your
20:56
question like you can always still be opinionated respectfully to people because still come from that that
21:03
training but um you can still be private at the same time too and no comment is a is a hell of a statement or I don't want
21:09
to answer this is wrong can you remind the people really quickly of the benefits of privacy because I think we've forgotten that we hear about the
21:15
benefits of being outspoken what are the benefits of privacy i I just feel like I
21:21
already share so much of my life and being public and being on TV and you
21:27
know and I'm not a celebrity like that but I already share so much of me i want something for myself you know whether
21:34
that's my faith whether that's a relationship whether that in my family
21:39
like whatever that is i just I just let me have something for me because it's it ain't everybody's business i'm not a
21:45
reality show girl i don't need to share everything with everybody that's great
21:51
to hear i see you nodding HB that's so great to hear cuz that's I'm like that too the same way yeah like why are you
21:57
posting somebody you just started dating for two months and then y'all break up and then why are you airing out business
22:04
you know and the laundry and all of the things happening on air why are you doing that i mean now mind you if that's
22:09
your role on a show then that's your role on the show but we've even seen recently with co with people that we know very very well dealing with a very
22:16
public situation with they show and I'm like yo what is happening what happened to first of all the higher ups you know
22:23
you're not looking at the bigger picture most of the time people are airing things out and they're running off of emotion and the problem is is you can't
22:28
take that stuff back it's out back you can't take it back it's out there roxy Diaz had to be I see you nodding right
22:35
almost high five right there i love it oh man you got to keep something to yourself um you got to Okay then I want
22:42
to ask you this next question she ain't got to answer though
22:48
i don't I have a crazy way of being able to answer and not answer oh really i think I learned that from Fifth yeah 50
22:55
is great at it right is amazing at it i'm I'm curious though you've worked so hard and we we do come from that grind
23:01
first era um I didn't realize how many things I neglected until one year I
23:09
stopped and looked back and I saw photo albums at my family's house for years
23:15
past and I wasn't in any photos right you know what I mean like that bugged me
23:20
out that's when I start coming back and forth to the West Coast more often to see my grandmother see my mother be
23:26
around my little cousins cuz I want to be a part i didn't want the business Yeah to suck in all those moments are
23:33
there things that you feel like at one point damn I I was neglecting I have this success on one side but the
23:40
dichotomy is these things I didn't have
23:45
i I think because as a woman in this
23:51
industry you're all going to say maybe because I never got married or had children but honestly the way things are
23:58
God has a reason of making your path your path and maybe that just wasn't my road or it may still be i mean I'm not
24:04
counting it out um but it is challenging to sustain
24:09
relationship a you know relationship in this business and doing what we do and working so hard because it it takes a
24:16
toll it takes a toll something has to give so um but I don't feel like I
24:22
missed anything that was extremely important because my mom first of all my
24:27
mom lived with me pretty much half of the year okay uh back and forth from Egypt to New York
24:36
when um I was doing 106 so my mom was always there for me and she's still always there for me uh and I would
24:41
always go back and forth Dallas uh New York to go see my dad and my brothers and everything like that my family was
24:47
always so close so I don't feel like I missed out so I think the only thing that ever was probably that suffered was
24:54
me never really getting in you know a real relationship or married or kids and
24:59
stuff like that but I don't regret it no like I don't I don't regret it yeah and we still going you know HP I see you
25:06
nodding you want to jump on no because Keelani asked me about that the other day we were having a conversation with
25:11
our production assistant here and he said to me um we're talking about not have my husband and I we don't have any
25:18
children and I said Colani I would definitely have to say I chose um
25:24
professionalism over parenthood yeah and it was a conscious decision because at the time you had to be available i don't
25:31
know if that makes sense to a lot of people but you had to be available if somebody called you whether it's a show
25:36
or audition whatever it is a lot of times maybe not the best person got selected but the most available person
25:43
got selected and you learned how to take advantage of your opportunities then and so then when I I did meet someone and
25:50
and we got married and now celebrating you know 24 years of marriage amen when now you start never had a job that long
25:57

26:21
not even across the hall from me yeah somebody got to eat that cookie
26:27
he's like I'm doing this strategically all Yeah all strategy but yeah you look back and I was like now you start a life
26:34
with someone and then you still working so you realize okay like the kid thing the this to that but to your point you
26:40

30:40
let you be on i got sway his job at MTV this is true i just put that out there
30:46
technically yeah oh you know how you had to tell Stephen Hill it was your idea with the Yeah yeah heather definitely
30:54
open heather got us all jobs at MTV that part right how about that you got with real world that first season she made it
31:01
possible for all of us you know folks didn't think we were viable or we could be a a viable force in TV that people
31:08
would appeal to us or vice versa roxy said something funny initially and just to touch on that really quickly so that
31:14
first season was in '92 they had like no idea that I was rapping in 90 with Boogie Down
31:20
Productions and KS1 they just kind of didn't care you know to your point and then doing Real World in '92 and that as
31:28
he said was the first of its kind getting off that show because it was such a success in a different culture
31:34
and community they had no idea about my rap because like why do you want to rap it's like I started
31:41
right like come get the agent come do this so it was like the opposite for me
31:46
you know in a sense because for a lot of people my breakout was MTV but I started
31:52
in hip-hop you know and I always wanted to hold on to that so it's weird have to how we have to learn to adjust and
31:58
juggle in this industry cuz opportunities come and you got to figure out your hats you know you have to
32:03
evolve you have to evolve everybody's like "You don't sound like you did on 106." No I don't because I'm on Good Morning America now and um we will
32:10
whatever you want to call it it's called evolving and and you know adjusting and growth and you know there's certain
32:17
places for certain things and we just got to understand that it's not code switching uh it's evolving and growing
32:24
