- 9:42Speaker 7: marble for fear of what could happen.
- 9:45Speaker 6: But man ain't no way.
- 9:46Speaker 7: It can't go down without like that.
- 9:49Speaker 3: I'm with you because when I look at that brother,
- 9:51Speaker 3: I look at my father, my uncle, my brother, like
- 9:54Speaker 3: you look at a family member, and especially if it's
- 9:55Speaker 3: a black woman, I'm looking at mama, grandmama, my sister,
- 9:58Speaker 3: my daughter.
- 9:59Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 9:59Speaker 3: You just look enough to really just to beat up
- 10:01Speaker 3: anybody that that that messes with them.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Hello, who's this Joe Detroit?
- 10:07Speaker 7: Yo?
- 10:08Speaker 1: Yellow colored in Eli.
- 10:10Speaker 3: When I'm I start mentioned physical fighting, Detroit calling so crazy.
- 10:14Speaker 7: Because you got to I wish you was a boat
- 10:16Speaker 7: called to hear you here and Nick Cony and the
- 10:19Speaker 7: mother doing this boy tears. I've been talking to you
- 10:22Speaker 7: in the water.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Elijah can't curse, So I so imagine that party I
- 10:27Speaker 3: did in Detroit two weeks ago, right, you know, right
- 10:29Speaker 3: on the water.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Side, and a brother was getting beat up by some
- 10:32Speaker 1: white folks. What's happening?
- 10:33Speaker 7: Man? That the whole entire crowd out.
- 10:36Speaker 1: There, the whole crowd would have whipped his ass.
- 10:38Speaker 7: Yeah, he got thrown in the order too. We had
- 10:40Speaker 7: a boat like the Prince, they probably would put h
- 10:42Speaker 7: up under it.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Damn it.
- 10:43Speaker 8: Man.
- 10:43Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Let me go to one more
- 10:44Speaker 1: call him? Hello, who's this yo?
- 10:47Speaker 7: Hevy? What was good? Miss? Mitch?
- 10:49Speaker 1: Where you calling from?
- 10:50Speaker 7: I'm calling from Atlanta?
- 10:51Speaker 1: Atlanta? All right? Now you see a brother in distressed Mitch, Mitch.
- 10:54Speaker 1: What you're doing? Mitch?
- 10:56Speaker 8: Oh yeah, smoke, it's going all the way up.
- 10:57Speaker 7: You already know. It's twenty twenty three. You already know
- 11:00Speaker 7: if it was the other way around, we went here
- 11:02Speaker 7: to end up. You know, we gotta gotta support our people.
- 11:05Speaker 7: We gotta fight for our people.
- 11:06Speaker 6: Man, If we can keep this energy going and then
- 11:09Speaker 6: start dealing with each other, like, stop stop the nonsense
- 11:13Speaker 6: between us.
- 11:13Speaker 1: We can be so powerful. I'm with you. I am
- 11:18Speaker 1: totally with you. Go to Twitter and look at black Twitter.
- 11:20Speaker 6: They are going and they had a meme of a
- 11:23Speaker 6: Timberland pull up to a doc and had the SS
- 11:25Speaker 6: dead ass on it. Like there was so many funny
- 11:27Speaker 6: memes all over social media, Like go to black Twitter
- 11:30Speaker 6: and just just google it.
- 11:31Speaker 1: It's so funny. Jesus Christ.
- 11:32Speaker 3: I mean, I will say this, I love the fact
- 11:34Speaker 3: that we all stood up and roll with each other.
- 11:36Speaker 3: I just pray to God that you know, in other situations,
- 11:39Speaker 3: we could rid ride with each other more often.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many times where.
- 11:43Speaker 3: A lot of times we go against each other and
- 11:45Speaker 3: not even know anything. It was good to see that
- 11:48Speaker 3: that we supported that brother, we helped that brother and
- 11:50Speaker 3: had that brother's back.
- 11:51Speaker 1: But it doesn't stop there.
- 11:53Speaker 3: We got to continue to support our own we gotta
- 11:55Speaker 3: to continue to support our own businesses. We got to
- 11:57Speaker 3: continue to support support, support, support, and I don't think
- 12:00Speaker 3: we should stop until we support each other.
- 12:02Speaker 6: And there's an argument to be made that they the
- 12:04Speaker 6: brothers that did jumping and the sisters perhaps could have
- 12:07Speaker 6: prevented a murder.
- 12:08Speaker 1: That guy could have been murdered, correct, like.
- 12:09Speaker 6: It was eight on one. They could have stomped him
- 12:11Speaker 6: o until he was done breathing, you know what I mean.
- 12:12Speaker 6: And no one got killed, so we can make it
- 12:14Speaker 6: light in the situation. But I do like that, you know,
- 12:17Speaker 6: the brother was protected.
- 12:18Speaker 1: All right? Now, we got rooms on the way. What
- 12:19Speaker 1: we're talking about, yo, big.
- 12:21Speaker 6: Story with Kai Sunat and how they are coming for
- 12:24Speaker 6: his neck. We'll got more on that when we get back, all.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast club
- 12:28Speaker 1: Goo Morning
