Free Friday

Okay, for those of you who missed it, Free's first week on the air ended with a crazy surprise.

Free was interviewing a pastor for Easter Sunday when all of a sudden Jamie Foxx crashed the show with a bottle of Cristal. He said it was to "celebrate Easter" but after the pastor left he said it was to welcome Free to L.A. The deal was that Free and Jamie had to drink the whole bottle by the time the show was over. She sure enough was sippin' and slurpin' on that Cristal. You could hear her trying to get the last drops in her glass. And FYI, they did in fact finish the bottle by the close of the show.

You could tell from jump they were happy to see each other. Jamie said Free was what L.A. needed, some energy and beauty. He also commented on BET's Talent Search saying, "BET searched the whole country looking for someone to fill your shoes and they couldn't do it. You are unique."

Free got Jamie a little gift, which turned out to be a piano. It was funny as hell the way she presented it to him. Monday, it had wrapping paper on it. Tuesday, it had a little bit left. Then she just decided to give it to him like that. I think he really enjoyed the present, he said it was hot and started playing the beat to Blackstreet's "Don't Leave Me."

They played "U Still Got It" featuring Common and Jamie said that since Free is in L.A. now, she can drop a quick 8 on the song from a female's point of view and she said that she was down with the idea.

Time was running out quickly, but Jamie and Free just kept on chillin' with each other: drinking and talking. Jamie spoke about his run ins with soon-to-be famous artists like T.I. and E-40, both of which he told would never make it. Obviously, the opposite ended up happening, so what did he say to Free? "Free, you're never going to make it." I know it sounds bad, but that's not what he meant by any means.
Jamie brought an exclusive record featuring LL Cool J that NO ONE has heard, not even his record company. So, we got our first Free's World exclusive.

Jamie got upset with Free's PA because he was asking him "silly" questions. He said he already knew Free and he didn't need to answer questions like, "How do you feel about Free?" I swear that sh*t was hilarious. He also told Free that he wouldn't hit on her anymore, depending on what she was wearing or unless she wanted him to. There were so many funny moments during the show, I really hope you caught it for yourself.

The interview was so crazy that Free's World spilled over into the next hour! Free's World is virtually 106 & Park on the air. Anything can happen.

Jamie said he's gonna come every other Friday, so make sure you check for the "Bonnie and Clyde" of radio (according to Jamie) every other Friday. With that being said, I was thinking of setting up the chat I was talking about before for next Friday, April 28.
