  Speaker 5: that in the ringtones. I used to make ringtones.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: You used to make them?
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like, I would put them on people's phones.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Like, you a DJ. I know Bobby the Drinker got
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to be in this. Yeah, Bobby the Drinker. That was

• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: the Breakfast Club.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Lola Rose is here. Let's get in some front page news.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday, T-Pain.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: That's why we started the show with some T-Pain. Let's
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: start off with some quick sports now. Last night, WNBA,
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: Fever beat the Aces 99-89.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yo, Fever, you see what happens when you play Raven Johnson? Okay,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: when you give Raven Johnson meaningful minutes, changes the whole
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: complexion of the team.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Especially the defense. Dropping the clues bombs for Raven Johnson, okay?
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: Last night, the Liberty beat the Lynx, sent the Lynx
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: home 87-71.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I know, man.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Poor Olivia Miles. They shut Olivia Miles down.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the Liberty, though, because the Lynx were
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the number one seed, and Liberty was the number eight seed.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I think that's the first time in WNBA history that
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a number eight seed has beat a number one seed.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: And last night in baseball, of course, we're in the playoffs,
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: the wild card series. The Yankees destroyed the Boston Red
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Sox 9-0. Hit a grand slam in the eighth inning. Yeah,
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: eighth inning hit a grand slam.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Are people back on steroids in baseball? No. No, they
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: test like crazy.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's the only time I used to like baseball. Back
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in the 90s when everybody was on steroids.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: You sound like such an elder when you ask that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: Nah, and Aaron Judge is still injured. Now, yesterday also
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: the Giants released Odell Beckham Jr.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Damn! He needed steroids.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: Damn.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: I don't even think he got a chance to really play. Yeah,
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: I think he had like three snaps or two snaps.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: He didn't even get a chance to, they didn't even
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: throw him the ball one time. It's not like I
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: watched the Giants, but I haven't seen him play. No,
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: he hasn't played. Pre-show, amazing. You know, when they warm up,
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: it's amazing.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: What the hell is a pre-show? Well, I said they
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: warm up, it's amazing.
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: But he didn't get a chance to play, so he
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was released yesterday. But what's up, Mimi?
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Envy, Lauren, and Charlamagne. How y'all doing this morning?
• 4:22
  Speaker 11: Good morning.
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 4:25
  Speaker 11: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 4:28
  Speaker 11: largest injury law firm. So we start this morning with
• 4:31
  Speaker 11: President Trump meeting with some of the biggest names in
• 4:34
  Speaker 11: artificial intelligence at the White House as concerns grow about
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: just how powerful this technology is becoming. They walked away
• 4:42
  Speaker 11: with a new agreement about how AI companies are supposed
• 4:45
  Speaker 11: to keep technology under control. That agreement is being called
• 4:49
  Speaker 11: the White House Accord on Superintelligence. Companies that signed it
• 4:54
  Speaker 11: are agreeing to things like testing their most powerful AI systems,
• 4:57
  Speaker 11: putting more safeguards in place and having outside experts review
• 5:01
  Speaker 11: some of those safety measures.
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: But here's the important part. All of this, all of
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: these rules, they are voluntary.
• 5:08
  Speaker 11: There is no new federal law requiring companies to follow
• 5:12
  Speaker 11: them and no government regulator enforcing the agreement. Let's listen
• 5:15
  Speaker 11: to President Trump explain how this works.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: They're really going to be policing each other.
• 5:20
  Speaker 9: It's going to be very, very safe, and there's a self-policing,
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: and there's also a group policing, and it's going to
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: be great.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, right?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, when the people building AI, when they admit
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that the technology can behave in ways they didn't intend,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: why should we, the public, trust the same companies to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: police themselves?
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: You can't expect somebody to police themselves over greed. You
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: can't expect somebody to police themselves over money.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: There's no way. There's no way.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And we're asking them to choose, I guess, our safety
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: over their growth, which I don't know is possible, right?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Because the more breakthroughs you have with AI, the more
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: valuable the technology becomes. But the more breakthroughs you have
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: with AI, then it runs the risk of all of
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: these bad things that they're warning us about.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It runs the risk of those things actually happening.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: So how do we expect them to choose our safety
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: over Their growth, you know, a lot of money on
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the table.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That's my point. I don't know. Greed over safety. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: don't know. Exactly.
• 6:24
  Speaker 11: So so for now, the responsibility follows these new safety
• 6:29
  Speaker 11: rules and it's up to the companies to, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 11: police themselves. And this agreement, though, it does not stop
• 6:34
  Speaker 11: Congress from passing regulations later. Lawmakers are on vacation, but
• 6:40
  Speaker 11: when they get back, they have been talks about taking
• 6:42
  Speaker 11: this up.
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: So we'll see.
• 6:44
  Speaker 11: I'm going to say it just passed what we would put. Well,
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: the Senate just passed what would put new rules on
• 6:50
  Speaker 11: how college athletes get paid. So right now, athletes can
• 6:53
  Speaker 11: make money from endorsements, social media and other deals. But
• 6:57
  Speaker 11: this bill would limit how much money or how much
• 7:00
  Speaker 11: schools can pay athletes, cap what agents can make, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 11: also give the NCAA more power over its rules and
• 7:08
  Speaker 11: protect the company or the organization from lawsuits. And supporters
• 7:12
  Speaker 11: say there are too many different rules across the country
• 7:14
  Speaker 11: and they want Congress to set rules for everybody. But
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, they are against this.
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: They say black athletes are finally making money from a
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: system that has made billions of dollars off of them,
• 7:27
  Speaker 11: and they don't want Congress putting limits on what those
• 7:29
  Speaker 11: athletes can earn. New Jersey Senator Cory Booker played football
• 7:33
  Speaker 11: at Stanford, and he voted against this. Let's listen to
• 7:35
  Speaker 11: what he had to say.
• 7:36
  Speaker 12: It's a bill that was written without input from college
• 7:40
  Speaker 12: athletes themselves whose lives will be directly affected. It violates
• 7:45
  Speaker 12: a simple rule, nothing about us without us. Well, this
• 7:48
  Speaker 12: is a bill going forward that where college athletes and
• 7:51
  Speaker 12: the organizations that represent them have not had a seat
• 7:55
  Speaker 12: on the table. It's a bill that was actually shaped
• 7:57
  Speaker 12: by millions of dollars in lobbying from the NCAA, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 12: at its core, it's a bill that undermines the rights
• 8:04
  Speaker 12: of young people who pour their blood, sweat, tears, countless
• 8:09
  Speaker 12: hours of work, and more into their craft.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, man, let the college athletes police themselves. Treat them
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: like you're treating the technocrats, okay? Let them figure it out.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Amongst themselves. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: As a father of somebody that played college football, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Logan played, I would say this. Every day those kids
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: put their bodies on the line. They get up way
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: before anybody else, 4 o'clock.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: They work. If they get injured, they have to heal themselves.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They have to figure out their own.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: So the fact that these athletes are getting paid to
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: be able to support their families, to be able to
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: support themselves– It changed the game for a lot of
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: athletes out there. And I don't want to see that
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: changing because those kids each and every day they've been
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: practicing and training since since three, four years old. And
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: they put their bodies on the line and when they
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: get injured, it's a high five and see you later. So, yes, absolutely.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: They should be getting paid.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It's also just hilarious to me that you could put
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: rules and regulations on the athletes, but not the technocrats
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: who are in charge of technology that can potentially ruin
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: And these colleges make billions of dollars off the students.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Are they doing this?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if I missed this. If I did,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Mimi.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: But are they doing this because they're trying to, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: know how we hear the stories about how the money
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: is spent incorrectly and it's like a distraction for the students?
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: Now, they're just saying because the colleges are losing too
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: much money paying these kids.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: They're not gaining enough money on these kids. These kids
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: are making money off their jerseys now. They're making money
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: off their likeness.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Even the patches and stuff on the jerseys, right?
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: But they can control where they want to go now. Now,
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: I can be like, you know what? This school is
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: offering me more. I'm going to this school.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: And the colleges don't necessarily have a say where these
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: students are going now. They can't control it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Might be too many black people making money, man. Too
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: many black people getting paid.
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: That's exactly what it is. I think ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Too many young black people getting paid. That's what it is.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Let's put a rain in on this one. Let's rain
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: this in.
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: That's what it is.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: That's what it is.
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: So this is not law yet, though. The House still
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: has a vote on it.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: So when they get back after midterms, they will have
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: to vote on this and it will go to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: president's desk for his signature. So we will continue to
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: watch this as this is a really, really big deal.
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: And this hour of front page news sponsored by Morgan & Morgan. Injured.

  Speaker 2: Whether you're reading her books, whether you're watching her show
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: on BET, whether you go see her stand-up, that's Miss
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Patty all the time.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: She don't never turn on. Because she not even on.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: That's just her.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's something. And, oh, yeah, and Envy and Charlotte
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: Young said that on A Different World they had too
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: many same things. But I didn't see anybody bumping ugly, man.
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: They just lip-locked.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I feel like they was having sex all the goddamn
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: time to me.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: He has a daughter in college, so he doesn't want
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: to think about that, sir.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I don't even want to think about that. Everybody's going
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to be going to class. Take your ass to class, okay?
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Class is not the best part of that experience.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Man, shut up. Hello, who's this?
• 12:19
  Speaker 14: What's good, what's good?
• 12:20
  Speaker 17: It's Mike Frick from New York.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: What's up? Mike Frick. DJ Envy. Just hilarious. How y'all doing?

• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Lauren's in here today. What's going on? Get it off
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: your chest, brother.
• 12:30
  Speaker 18: Hey, what's up, Lauren?
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: How y'all doing, man?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 12:33
  Speaker 18: Black and highly favored.
• 12:34
  Speaker 19: Good morning, beautiful.
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: Now, I just want to explain how black people can't
• 12:38
  Speaker 18: have anything, man.
• 12:42
  Speaker 14: Why they want to put restrictions on the college players, man?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: You know why.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Because they making too much money. You got too many
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: young black men making too much money right now.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: You know that.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: Tax, everything. We can't have nothing.
• 12:53
  Speaker 18: Look at these gas prices. I'm still going through it, man.
• 12:56
  Speaker 17: I'm Mike Vick, by the way, with MRV and.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: The Positive Pro.
• 12:59
  Speaker 20: Yes, man.
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: Why they can't let us have something?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the technocrats get to police themselves.
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: Hey, we in a crisis, man. I think we should
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: really look at possibly moving.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Because U.S.
• 13:13
  Speaker 14: Ain't it.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Nah, it's our country, too. We're not going nowhere.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: We're going to do what we always do. We're going
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: to keep fighting and we're going to figure this out.
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: Hey, we got to fight and we got to vote, man.
• 13:22
  Speaker 18: We got to get everybody to vote.
• 13:23
  Speaker 17: I agree.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: I agree.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Mike. You be safe out there, Mike. You
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: guys stay blessed, brother. All right, brother.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I think this is going to be one of the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: best midterm elections ever because I think that people finally
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: realize this is just a business.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You don't got to feel no personal way towards any
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: of these elected officials.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You completely see that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Elections have consequences and you got to put people in
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: position that actually care about people and people that we
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: know we can push.
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Because conservatives definitely don't give a damn about us. You
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: And I ain't going to sit here and act like
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Democrats give a damn about us either, but I know
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: that we can put a lot more pressure on them to,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you know, do things for us.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Hopefully. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Ray, Ray, Ray.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Yo, Charlemagne, Envy, what up?
• 14:12
  Speaker 18: Are we live?
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: This is your time to get it off your chest.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
• 14:18
  Speaker 18: We can get on the phone right now. He'll tell
• 14:20
  Speaker 18: you what it is.
• 14:21
  Speaker 15: Are we live?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Hello, who's this?
• 14:24
  Speaker 17: Yo, good morning, DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God, Lauren, what's happening?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: What's up, my brother? Where you calling from?
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: I'm from Texas.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get it off your chest, brother.
• 14:34
  Speaker 17: Yo, these white people been making money for too long,
• 14:36
  Speaker 17: but now these black kids making money in the NFL?
• 14:38
  Speaker 17: I mean, college league, and they don't want to pay them?
• 14:41
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: It don't make sense to me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: And I love the fact that a college player can
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: make $ 6, $ 7, $ 8, $ 9 million if they're that good
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: and make more than they do in the league, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: they can take care of their family. And if they
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: do get injured, they still have enough where they can
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: at least sit on it for a little bit.
• 14:53
  Speaker 21: Pause.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 14:56
  Speaker 14: Exactly, though.
• 14:59
  Speaker 17: The thing is that they've been making money off their
• 15:01
  Speaker 17: public image for a very long time. So now that
• 15:03
  Speaker 17: they're making money off their own names and faces and skills,
• 15:07
  Speaker 17: now you want to bring the money down? It's very
• 15:10
  Speaker 17: obvious what's going on here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Yep. Somebody might have to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: come to the front of the congregation this morning. Let
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Are you voting in Texas, bro? Absolutely.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: Tell her we go.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right, brother. Hello, who's this?
• 15:22
  Speaker 18: Hey, this is Beverly from Midland, Texas.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, Beverly from Texas. Come on and get it off
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: your chest.
• 15:27
  Speaker 18: Okay, now first of all, I want to talk about,
• 15:30
  Speaker 18: you know, the election coming up. We have got to
• 15:32
  Speaker 18: get Governor Hot Wheels out of the seat. Greg Abbott
• 15:36
  Speaker 18: has to go. They trying to take all your land
• 15:39
  Speaker 18: from you. They keep raising our property taxes. It's crazy
• 15:43
  Speaker 18: out here.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Mm-mm-mm-mm.
• 15:45
  Speaker 18: But, you know, we're a red state, so if we
• 15:48
  Speaker 18: can get them in there, we can. If we can't,
• 15:50
  Speaker 18: we don't do better.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Do you think, what's her name, Gina? What's her name? Gina,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: he knows you? That's her name?
• 15:58
  Speaker 18: Gina, he knows her.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You think she got a good chance?
• 16:01
  Speaker 18: Man, I would love for her to have a good chance,
• 16:03
  Speaker 18: but when I tell you that the pink people come
• 16:06
  Speaker 18: out and they decide who's going to be in office
• 16:09
  Speaker 18: for us, I really feel that way because the way...
• 16:12
  Speaker 18: Black people come out and vote. Man, we should have
• 16:16
  Speaker 18: had Jasmine Crockett in. We should have had Tallarico in.
• 16:19
  Speaker 18: We should have had, I can't even think of the
• 16:22
  Speaker 18: guy a couple of years ago.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Well, y'all still got an opportunity to get Tallarico in.
• 16:27
  Speaker 18: Yeah, we do. But when you're watching TV, all you
• 16:30
  Speaker 18: see is Ken Paxton commercials. You never see anything for
• 16:34
  Speaker 18: James Tallarico. All you see is negativity.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 16:38
  Speaker 18: So if that's what the younger people, if that's what
• 16:40
  Speaker 18: they're going off of, they're not going to vote him in.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Well, thank you for calling, Mama, and keep encouraging people
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: to get out there and vote.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Very important.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Okay, can I shout out?
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: Can I shout out?
• 16:49
  Speaker 18: Of course.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 16:50
  Speaker 18: Okay, I want to shout out my kids, Kayden and Kiera.
• 16:52
  Speaker 18: They turned 21 this year. And my sweet baby, Casey,

• 18:14
  Speaker 2: the black radio.

  Speaker 1: That source is trusted. Did you hear that exclusive?
• 18:17

  Speaker 5: If little brown girls look at you and go, I
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: want to be like you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: LL Cool B.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Talk to me.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: All right, y'all.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: So Diddy is over in Fort Dix and we know
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: that he is serving a 50 month sentence following the
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: prostitution charges. Now, there is a story that NBC News
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: did exclusively. They said that they spoke to four men
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: who have spent time in the same unit as Diddy.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: And they are anonymous in this article because they want
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: to talk about the lifestyle Diddy is living. Now, they
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: break it down like this. They say Diddy is living
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: a life inside of Fort Dixie. He has men who
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: clean for him, men who do his laundry, men who
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: make his bed for him, men who give him Chinese
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: style massages.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Did he run in the yard? OK, Teddy is running
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the yard. You hear me? He's executive producing in prison.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Tell me more about his artists.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Now, there are multiple sources that tell NBC News that
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: he has contraband cell phones where he scrolls on Instagram
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: and he gets to scan nude. He allegedly gets to
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: scan nude and sexually explicit photos that an old girlfriend
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: sends him. He's been able to buy from other inmates
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: these like NCI depressant drugs, allegedly, that help boost your
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: mood and different effects.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: They call them rim roms. And that's how they're known
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: in the prison anyway.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: And then they say on the weekend, he often taps
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: into a secret stash that he has a premium liquor.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: I saw some at one point in here. They point
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: to him. as a premium liquor that he gets to
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: dive into on the weekends.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I would not want to get drunk around no bunch
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: of mans.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: And they say it's snuggled in by the guards.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. Allegedly.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Now, I know the contraband is illegal, but other than
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the contraband, what is he doing that... illegal because it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: not illegal to have people cleaning your bathrooms and making
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: your bed and cooking food for you and giving you
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: nice Chinese massages.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: No, I don't think so either. I mean, I can't
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: answer that. I've asked a lot of questions. I'm not
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: mad at that part. Like, you're ditty.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: Like, you're what, a billionaire close to a billionaire? You're
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: getting commissary and people are making your beds and making
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: you food that you usually wouldn't have.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: You just figured out a chain of command.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: You did.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: But the Hennessy and the phone, though, no, I'm not saying, no,
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: I don't think it is, but.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: The contraband is, though.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but when it comes to.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: There's a video that NBC News obtained, and you see
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Diddy in the video, and he is holding something that
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: looks like a cell phone in his hand, and they
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: say that it is a cell phone.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: That's what NBC News is alleging.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: And then they also mentioned they have a direct quote
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: from one of the guys that says that he drank
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: with Diddy and that it was Hennessy that was smuggled
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: in by one of the guards. And they say that
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: this is a rich lifestyle that he is living while
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: he's locked up.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Now, I think the only thing it could probably hurt
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: is appeal because it gives the impression that he thinks
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: he's above the law.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It gives the impression that he thinks he's bigger. than
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the program but I mean.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Diddy's used to a certain lifestyle and why should prison
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: stop that lifestyle if he wants some strong man hands
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: rubbing him down giving him a Chinese massage prison is
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: a great place to find a pair of strong man
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: hands you know they.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Just did an update on when he's coming home it's
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: supposed to be the top of 2028 That mean it'll be...
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: It's a little bit more sooner than what we've been
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: talking about. It's like a few weeks earlier because we
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: were talking about February last time. When he comes home,
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: he's going to come find you. You keep making all
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: these jokes.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: But I don't think... I was making jokes and then
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: he was on the screen.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: But there's so many people in jail that have cell phones, right?
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: We've seen the cell phone footage a lot when they're
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: in there, you know, doing TikTok dances or even talking
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: to friends.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: So you see that a lot. Yes.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: But my thing is the liquor, right? That's what he's
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: supposed to be. I thought he was supposed to be
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: stopping drugs, stopping drinking and all that sort of stuff.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: I just hope he doesn't go down that wrong angle
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: with the drugs and everything.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And also.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: You know, when I go to massage parlor, I get naked.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: You think Diddy get naked when he did the massage?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I did not get naked at the massage parlor. Why
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: are you getting naked at the massage parlor? I get
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: naked to get naked at the massage parlor. No, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: leave my briefs on. Why the hell would I get
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: butt naked at the massage parlor? I get butt naked
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: at the massage parlor.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: You a crazy guy.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I thought guys did that.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Girls do it. Yeah, I get naked to get a massage.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: You have a girl or a guy masseuse?
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: A woman.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Don't say a woman.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Like, I just wanted to know. That only happened one time.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about that. What only happened one time?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: A guy masseuse while you were butt naked? Chinese man massage.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: It was a couple's massage. We got a source close
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to Diddy right here. Go ahead, Envy. It was a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: couple's massage. And, you know, you and your wife do
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a couple massage together.
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: And it was.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: One masseuse, he was supposed to teach you how to massage.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And it just, it was a man. By the way,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: it's nothing wrong with that because you know, it's so funny.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: There's a double standard because athletes, when they're getting stretched.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Out and you know, people are rubbing on them.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: It's always, it's always a male physical trainer for the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: most part.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know why people trip out when it's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a man.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: It's just a little bit more sensual when the lighting
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: is low and candles are lit and you use aromas
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: and smells. That's normally how massages, especially couple massages, and
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: there's petals everywhere.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: It's a little different.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: But I did speak to Diddy's rep and they say,
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: because I actually, you know, the cell phone, the Hennessy,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: this could mess them up. But, you know, when it
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: comes to like the way that they're looking at him.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: They said a continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Sean Combs' life in prison has reached the point where
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: the media characterized ordinary prison life as news. The only
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: real news is that Sean Combs continues to serve his
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: sentence while awaiting the court's decision on his appeal. And
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I did ask about how is there video footage of
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: him on a cell phone if nobody's supposed to have
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: cell phones?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Imagine telling on me for having a cell phone while
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: you record me with your cell phone.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: And they say that their assumption is that another prisoner
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: had a phone and sold this information to NBC News.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: I also asked what reprimands do they expect to come
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: back on him for this? And they say they don't
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: know any reprimands and what that would be yet. They
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: don't know if the Bureau of Prisons is even going
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: to investigate it, but they will know in a couple
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: of days or in the coming days.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Them dudes that did the interview was whack too. Like
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that's whack.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: Like, y'all were all in there doing the same thing.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: You get out now, you get a couple of dollars
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: a couple of days.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But they not diddy, though. They sound like the scrumptious
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: hoes that you probably ran through. The food look good, too.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Don't the food look good? Bring the food up on
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the shelf. The food look good.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: So there are three different meals that there are photos
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: of that Charlamagne is talking about.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: The one on, is that that? Because that looked like
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that lunchroom pizza we used to get. The pizza on
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the right, yeah. The pizza looked good. And the rice
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and chicken looked banging. Rice and chicken looked banging.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: And then that looks like a taco or burrito the
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: last time.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Taco Tuesday in jail?
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so there's a quote in here or some information
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: in here about the food. Wait, it went down. Information
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: in here about the food. They say those payback homes.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Include a man who would clean his toilet and shower
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: areas before he used them and men who would secretly
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: cook him special meals. Curry chicken, pizza, empanadas using a
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: makeshift heating element submerged in water.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I ain't mad at that. Diddy running the yard, you
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: hear me?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And one of the dudes, I was reading the article,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: one of the dudes said he got tired of cooking
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: for Diddy, and so Diddy started going to the Jamaicans.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: Yep, he said, after a while, I got tired of cooking,
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: and I got tired of preparing meals, so he went
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: to one of the other inmates.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: He started going to the Jamaicans.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: So Diddy got, he could get Jamaican food, he could
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: get American food, Spanish food, Italian food.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Imagine Diddy asking you to cook me something, and you say, what?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And he says, Jerk chicken.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: See? I can't cook that. I want my chicken jerked.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I can't cook that. That could mean a number of things.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I want my chicken jerked. Then you're going to wipe
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: me to dark.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: Damn.
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: God damn.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: God damn.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: Yo, he even got somebody.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: They say he even got somebody holding his phones for
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: him in his fan mail.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: That's Sean Cone. That's Diddy. Yo, listen.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: I can't hold his phone because if I get caught,
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: I just extra time.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: You hold that down. Oh, he ain't getting no appeal.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: You ain't getting no appeal, though.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Not with this story. I'm telling you that right now.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: That is insane.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Allegedly, you still out here drinking Hennessy. You still doing drugs.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: You got men jerking your chicken in prison. You going
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: to be in there until January 2028. This is the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: type of story that messes up his.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Appeal, though.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, they have to investigate it, though, and see
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: what they can find to be true, including probably interviewing
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: some other inmates or prior inmates if they want to.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Ain't nobody about to tell them that they jerk diddy chicken.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Y'all crazy. That was the latest for the hour.

  Speaker 7: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: The Breakfast Club.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're celebrating him. I feel like you're
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: celebrating Diddy.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I think you should be encouraging Diddy to, you know,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: use this opportunity of him being a way to really
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: do some rehabilitation.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: No, I agree.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Because nothing I heard in that news story, if it's true,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: lets me... shows me that he's you know trying to rehabilitate.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: Well the most the biggest problem to me is the
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: liquor right the drugs and the drugs those are the
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: two biggest things because that was part of the problem
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: where he said he was.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Doing some of the things that he was doing allegedly
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: allegedly remember he.
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: Said the drug he was addicted to drugs is what
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: his attorneys were saying and if he's still there drinking
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: and allegedly using drugs that's.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: A problem unless you know prison is not really a
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: correctional facility like they're not correcting anything like you know
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: if somebody has a alcohol drug problem they need to
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: be getting help for their alcohol drug problem.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: If it is true. If it's true.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: I would hate to like you said I wanted to
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: see that brother come out and have a clear mind
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: and not still on drugs if that is the case.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: But anyway let's get in some front page news. All right,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: WNBA playoffs.
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: The Fever beat the Aces 99-89. Liberty beat the Lynx 87-71.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Now, I want you to know the Fever Aces is
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: a tough one to watch for me because, you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you got Raven Johnson and Aaliyah Boston who played for
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the Fever.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Then you got Asia Wilson who plays for the Aces.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: That's all South.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Carolina all day, the Gamecocks, right? But I love to
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: see Raven Johnson in there for the Indiana Fever. And
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the Fever, do y'all see what happens when you play
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Raven Johnson more? Good things happen, goddammit.
• 28:00
  Speaker 13: Mm-hmm.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: Well, that series is tied 1-1. And like I said,
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: the Liberty wiped off the Lynx 87-71, 2-0. First time
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: that a No.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: 8 seed has beat a No. 1 seed in the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: WNBA playoffs. Now, also yesterday in baseball wildcard, the Yankees
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: beat the— what' s your team called?
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: The Boston Red Sox 9-0. Hit a grand slam in
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: the fifth inning. They played amazingly, so salute to the Yankees.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: And also in sad news, the Giants released Odell Beckham Jr.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Yesterday.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: I didn't even see him really get a chance to play.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: I think he had like one snap or two snaps.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: He really didn't get an opportunity to play. And I
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: would have loved to see Odell Beckham play some ball
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: this year.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: But salute to Odell Beckham.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: I don't give a damn about what the New York
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Giants do. But we are 2-1 in the top of
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: the NFC division.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Tallest midget. I just want to tell you that. What's up, Mimi?
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: Good morning, guys.
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: largest injury law firm. So we start this hour with
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: a very sad story out of South Los Angeles. A
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: 19-year-old mother has been arrested for murder after her 4-year-old
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: baby girl was found inside a dumpster.
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: The baby's name was Luna.
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: Police say Luna was found Monday night by a woman
• 29:13
  Speaker 11: taking out the trash.
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: She initially thought the baby was a doll.
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: Luna was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: Her grandparents say they had baby Luna with.
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: Them earlier that day, and they had been helping care
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: for this baby since she was just two weeks old.
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: The mother was having problems, you know, just caring for
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: the baby. And so the grandparents had kind of stepped in.
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: And earlier that day, the baby was with them. And
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: then later that night, that Monday night, they had dropped
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: the baby at home. Hours later, they saw a news
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: report about a baby found in a dumpster near the
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: apartment where Luna and her mother were staying. And they
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: immediately rushed over. Luna's grandfather is now talking about the
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: moment he realized the news report could be his granddaughter.
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: Let's listen.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: And I saved the area. They said they found the
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: baby in a dumpster. And red flags went up immediately.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: And I woke Laura up. And Laura said, that's your house.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: And I said, let's go over here and say about Luna.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: And that was the sweetest little baby in the world.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: To be found in a dumpster, a dirty dumpster. It
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: just broke my heart. I don't know what to do, man.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what to say.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I love it, baby. Like, why resort to that option?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, clearly the grandparents cared for the child. You know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you got adoption. You got safe surrender options. Like, there's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: so much. Like, why? Why a dumpster?
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: Like, why?
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And Mimi, also, I think you said four-year-old. You meant four-month-old.
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: Yes, four-month-old.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 30:44
  Speaker 22: Yep, four-month-old.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: That's horrible. So horrible.
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, very, very sad.
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: Police later arrested Luna's mother, 19-year-old Takiyah Babbers, on suspicion
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: of murder.
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: Her bail is set at $ 2 million.
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: Police have not yet said how Luna died, and the
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: case is still under investigation. But LAPD has now officially
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: identified the victim.
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: I know yesterday when.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I was following the story, there was some back and forth.
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: Yes, she's a cutie, right? There was some back and
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: forth about... you know, identifying the baby. And one, one thing,
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: how the grandparents said that they knew it was their
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: baby is she was born with six toes. And that
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: was in the news report that, uh, the baby found
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: had six toes. And so that's how they, they knew
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: for sure, even though there was no identification made yet
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: that that was baby Luna.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I hate hearing stories like that because, you know, number one,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: you hate what happened to the, you know, the young baby,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: but also The fact that that young girl thought she
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: had no other option.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I promise you there was other options like that. That
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: was not that should not have been your plan and
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: your only plan.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: And now to Florida, where a mother is accused of
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: leaving her four children home alone while she went on
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: a cruise to the Bahamas. She has now appeared before
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: a judge. Police say 29 year old Natalie Bellazari. She
• 32:01
  Speaker 11: went on a three day cruise and she was arrested
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: when she returned to Miami. She's now facing four counts
• 32:07
  Speaker 11: of child neglect. When the judge heard the details of
• 32:09
  Speaker 11: the case, including just how young some of her children.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Was, she had a lot to say.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: Let's listen.
• 32:16
  Speaker 16: It says she went on a cruise and left her
• 32:17
  Speaker 16: children home alone.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Including a two-month-old baby.
• 32:20
  Speaker 16: She's going to drop them off at the mother's house,
• 32:23
  Speaker 16: but never did. These poor kids, four of them were
• 32:25
  Speaker 16: home alone for three days. I guess there's probable cause
• 32:29
  Speaker 16: for child neglect. We're just grateful nothing worse happened.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: To these kids. Judge Ms.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Belizer denies these allegations.
• 32:36
  Speaker 18: Of course she does.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: One baby, the baby was born in July of this year.
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: Jesus.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Who leaves a baby alone like that?
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: You would agree to supervised visitation. I don't think I
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: want to do that.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Who leaves a kid.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Four little kids alone?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Judge, it's an allegation at this time. To go on
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a cruise.
• 32:51
  Speaker 16: They arrested her disembarking from the cruise ship.
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: So I know one was two months old. What ages?
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: What kids do we know?
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: I believe they range up to seven. I think the
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: oldest child was seven. I'm not sure of the individual ages.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Don't tell me she don't care.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking at her mugshot and I'm saying to myself,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: She's thinking about the good time she had on that
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: carnival cruise.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Look at her. Look at the mugshot.
• 33:18
  Speaker 18: Look.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Put the mugshot back up. She don't care. Does she
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: look like she care?
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Now she got a 10.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying?
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: She don't care.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: One of the brothers of one of the children said
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: the only way he knew that she was on a
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: cruise is he seen her posting it on social media.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: She was on InstaStory.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Go ahead, Lois.
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: I was going to ask mentally, where are these.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: What is the.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: The father, as you were saying.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: You gotta be out your mind to do something to
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: these babies like that.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: You wanna hear that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Whenever I hear Mimi report these stories, anybody report these stories,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I need to hear the other part.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: What was wrong with her? This wasn't just a regular human.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Was she on drugs?
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Was she mentally ill?
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: That's the question because right now people are still asking
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: that same question.
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: Like what, what happened? What's wrong with her? You know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: it's right now, to be honest, it sounds like she.
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: Just needed a break because no one has given a better,
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: you know, explanation for why she would go off and
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: leave her children like that.
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: The father of the youngest child became concerned.
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: He went to the house and he saw the TV
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: on her, the children inside too. So he called 911.
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: When the police got inside, they found all four children dead.
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: hiding in a bathroom together. There was no adult there.
• 34:36
  Speaker 11: She bonded out of jail. Her bail was set at $ 10, 000.
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: And she's been, you know, ordered no contact with the children.
• 34:42
  Speaker 10: And authorities say those children are now in foster care.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's weird because they said that she was supposed
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: to drop off at the grandmother's house, but she just
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: never got there. Something seems strange. There's no way that
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: you leave your two-month-old. In the hands of a seven-year-old?
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: To feed, to change the pimp? Like, what is going on?
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: That is insane.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: A two-month-old?
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: Very, very strange. So we will continue to follow this.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Have me in here trying to figure out why people
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: are crazy.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: But two-month-old? People are crazy. That's all you need to know.
• 35:15
  Speaker 17: Okay?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, any age is crazy, but a two-month-old?
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like that baby can't even sit up.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: No. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and how you feeding the baby.
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: That's a breast, but I mean, I don't know if
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: she breast.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, though?
• 35:27
  Speaker 18: It could be formula.
• 35:27
  Speaker 15: It could be formula.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't want none of that breast milk from
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: what I saw just now.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I already know what that type of breast milk breeds. Okay? Oh, goodness.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: All right, y'all.

  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Who is Cynthia K. McWilliams, for those who don't know?
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: First and foremost, I'm a storyteller more than anything. I'm
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: an artist.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: I am right now the comedic actress who plays on
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: average Joe opposite of the incredible Dion Cole. My amazing partner,
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: Malcolm Barrett, who plays my husband on the show. And
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: also Michael Trucco and an incredible group of people that
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: I think have made some really dynamic television that's streaming
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: on Paramount Plus right now. I'm also an executive producer
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: and the creator of Messy Lola.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Yes, of Messy Lola.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: But you've definitely had a successful career.
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: So what's the difference between having a successful career and
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I guess actually becoming a quote unquote star?
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: Honestly, I think being a star has nothing to do
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: with success unless that's how you define success.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: But to me, having a successful career.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: Is about first and foremost just having the audacity to
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: do it. Really, every one of us at one point
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: were kids thinking about doing things that seemed unimaginable.
• 37:42
  Speaker 18: That's it.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: At the end of the day, I look around the
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: room and I'm like, These are people that I have.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: Watched become who they are to the rest of America.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: But you were always who you were.
• 37:53
  Speaker 14: That's right.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: And so I think what's so dope about being successful
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: in a career like this is just the audacity to
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: dream it and then the consistency and commitment and discipline
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: to yourself to keep living it out.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: That's success.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: That's why.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: And then for anybody along the way who sees it,
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: who recognizes it, who's touched by it, who's inspired by it,
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: That's like the real success. I think all the time
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: about people who I grew up with in Kansas City or,
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: you know, people that really never thought they could that
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: just because I'm doing it, whether or not, you know
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: what I mean?
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Like, again, star or not.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Because I'm doing it, it gives them the permission and
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: the belief that they can too, you know? Have you
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: always had that attitude about... your success and where you
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: are now? Because like real storytellers, you're like, people need
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: to get this.
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: And sometimes when people don't get it, it's like, I
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: know you're sensitive about your art. So has that always
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: been your mantra?
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, definitely.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: I've definitely always been that way because again, if it's
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: about the story, if that's really what matters and there's
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: so many different ones, right?
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: I also am from the theater.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: So, you know, that's one audience at a time.
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: Like it's a very different world. Like in the theater,
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: you're literally it's so present. It demands you to just
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: be there. And the only goal that night is literally
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: to just be present, be honest, moment to moment, line
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: to line.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I'm there.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: I'm just here.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: I can't do anything about how the audience is going
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: to receive it at the end of the show. I
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: can't do anything about reviews are going to say like
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: that is the world that I really was trained in.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: And that's about literally just in every moment, I need
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: to be listening.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I need to be open.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: I need to be able to be ready for whatever
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: the next moment is. I guess that's really.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: How I just still perform period whether there's a camera
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: around or not I'm very much like I am interested
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: in the truth of this moment and living the most
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: whatever that thing demands of me as an actor living
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: the most joy or the most authenticity the most pain
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: whatever in a true.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: Moment like That's really it.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: And if I'm, I don't know, I just feel like, yeah,
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: that for me is, it's the best thing about being
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: an actor. I think so many people now think of
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: being an actor as being a star. But for me,
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: the best thing about being an actor is that it
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: is the art. of understanding yourself and humanity at the
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: same time.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: But your inspiration comes out of your theater, right, DePaul?
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, DePaul University.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Theater kid, you grew up reading all these books.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I sure did.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: Grabbing all these images.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: I literally was a librarian. Yeah, that's a different type
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: of motivation. I worked in the, I don't want to
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: say a librarian. I worked in the library. Like I
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: had some sort of degree in it, no. I worked
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: in a library when I was young. And that's, I
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: literally did.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: I worked in the library. I stacked books, you know?
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: So I know like the Dewey Decimal System. Like I
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: was in the 811.5, 812. That was like poetry and
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: prose and theater. And I was in there reading plays.
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: Like literally what you just said, I was reading those books.
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: Do you think that the motivations now, like how some
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: people are motivated by like social media and having following
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: or whatever, does that change the way that the artwork
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: is looked at or talked about?
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, of course. I mean, you know, everything is changing.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, this is just a drastically changing media landscape
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: every day. So of course it changes things. social media
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: didn't exist when I was entering into this industry. And
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: I think about all of the women before me, you know, they're, um,
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: you know, the great Cicely Tyson, like you think about
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: what motivated people before there's always been the.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: Motivation to tell the stories.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: But of course, what now is the incentive is, um,
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: recognition and money, right? Those are, those are now the
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: things I think that draw people to the field more
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: is they want to feel, um, yeah, acknowledged. Uh, but
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: In a way, right, I still think about that as, yes,
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: we want the likes, we want the money, but really
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: that all still ties to, right.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: Don't it? That what you want is to be seen.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: So it's still the same thing.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: I think every storyteller was still trying to make sure
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: that unseen people are seen, you know?
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting what you said about social media
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: because I think about all of those women that you named, right?
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Like everybody that, really just any woman that came before
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: social media. I feel like just human beings were able
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: to grow and evolve and become who they really are
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: destined to be prior to having all of these strangers'
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: opinions about them.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Like they didn't have all of these people telling them who.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: They're supposed to be. They were just able to figure
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: it out on their own.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: And maybe be able to figure it out on your
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: own opposite of people that mattered, right?
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Like it's like the.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: People that really, you.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Know, that you had to judge.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: Like I remember my mom and dad, you know, I'm
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: very close with them and they would always say to me,
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: my dad, like when I would leave the house or
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: go out and do something, he would be like, if
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: you don't want it on the front page of your
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: local paper, don't do it.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: Like that was like a, you know.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Like just.
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: The idea was that what you're living for is that
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: you don't want your parents to be disappointed. You don't
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: want your family to be disappointed. And you want to
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: make them proud, right? So it's the fear of like,
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: I don't want to disappoint my parents. I don't want
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: to disappoint my family. But also, I want to make
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: these people proud. That's who used to matter to you
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: because the world.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: I think about this a lot, too. This is crazy.
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: This is a side venture. But, you know, the idea
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: that now I think... we all feel like we have
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: to be super wealthy or super successful. But going back, like,
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know, let's say 40s, 50s, right? Because we
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: didn't have an awareness of the world, your comparison was
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: really like your neighbor, right? So, like, coming up, if
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: you want, like, coming up was literally like, oh, shoot,
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: you looked over and, like, they might have got a
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: new car in their driveway. Or someone had a tire
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: swing out front, right? And it was like, oh, so
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: now the kids were like, well, they have a tire swing.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: Why don't I have a tire swing?
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: But.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: You could nip that in the bud right away and
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: just be like, why are you worried about having a
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: tire swing? Just go knock on Billy door and go
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: play on a tire swing because you knew your neighbors
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: and because that was really about it. So unless the
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: entire neighborhood suddenly had a new car and a new
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: tire swing, you didn't think about it. It wasn't bombarding
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: you in the same way. But now what's crazy is
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: the expectation. And this is what's insane to me is
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: that most of America, and we know this, we know
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: this to be true because of the nation we really
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: live in. Most of America is getting by, like barely
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: getting by. We are a fortunate group of people who
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: are just like living in what is most would consider wealth.
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: You know, we are a fortunate group of people doing that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: Most people do not have $ 1, 500.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Saved up to be able to cover an emergency, right?
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: And yet those people are really, instead of thinking about
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: how to cover that emergency, instead of thinking about groceries,
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: instead of thinking about things that really matter, right?
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: They're having to deal with also somehow being on feeds
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: all day.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: That's telling them that they should have their face done
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: like you got done, right? And that they should be
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: able to be blinged out like you blinged out. And
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: that they should be able to have books and successes
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: like you have. Which is, we should be dreaming that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: But it's also okay to understand the gap. That like, yo,
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: everybody should not be expected to live this way.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you looked at me and couldn't
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: pick nothing physical.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: Absolutely.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Just like them people.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: Also, you know, I don't really like to flirt with
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: married men like that. I don't play them games. You know,
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: I like to keep it real.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: It ain't nothing like that. Let's talk about Average Joe.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: Yes. Get into it.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: Kathy Montgomery is Average Joe.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Ambitious, complicated, unapologetic.
• 44:58
  Speaker 23: But what do you feel that the viewers misunderstand about
• 45:02
  Speaker 23: her character?
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: The viewers right now, they hate me, don't they? Ooh,
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: they on the internet, cut me up.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: That's a little misunderstood.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: What you feel like they did wrong? Look, here's the thing.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: I'm an actress, right? And so I got to love
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: my character.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: Like, I mean, I'm an actress. First of all, I'm
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: just like, I'm an actress. People really don't like to
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: separate your character.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: For years when I.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: Was Trina Shaw, when I tell you folks would be
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: in the street.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Like, Trina!
• 45:21
  Speaker 16: Stop!
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: But that means you're doing a good job.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, man, and they hate me right now.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, that's great.
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: That means I'm doing my job. But what I will
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: say is because it's my character and I love her,
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: I'm going to defend her. OK, because as an actor,
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: we got to fall in love with our characters. We
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: have to know who they are and see their points
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: of view. I just want to say one thing. Everybody
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: keep being like Kathy has a. In season one, everyone
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: loved Kathy, right? It was, that's my girl. She ride
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: or die.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: She's so gangsta. We love her, right?
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: And in season two, they, hey, literally at the end
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: of season one, I don't know if y'all, I'm not
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: ruining it because most people, they've seen at least season one.
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: They might have caught up with two. But in season one,
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: when we thought she was dead, When I say people
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: was like, if Kathy died, I ain't watching this show
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: no more.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I'm done.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: Now we cut to season two and people like, kill
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: this hoe. Kill this old light-skinned ass hoe.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I always knew she was shit.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, yeah, I did.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Something happened when we thought she was dead.
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: And I really sat up and thought about it. And
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: I said, you know what's interesting? She's always been nasty
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: mouth and nasty energy, really. I mean, I still think
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: she's funny, though. But what she was was loyal to Leon, right?
• 46:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: Now, in season two, because people think she's not being loyal,
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: then they so ready to be done with her. My
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: thing is that she's a villain. She's always been a villain.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: She's an anti-hero, you know what I mean? And I just,
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: what I find interesting about it is that people will
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: always champion you when you're loyal to others.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: But when you loyal to yourself... Ooh. They don't like that.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: They don't like that. Spoiler alert.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert.
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: Spoiler.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: Spoiler.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: So, y'all good? Y'all just cover your ears.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: We coming right back.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: So, in case you haven't watched.
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: It yet, but in this last episode, everybody thought she
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: was throwing them to the wolves and putting them in prison.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: She literally said, hey, man, I wasn't ever going to
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: leave you there.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: I was going to come back. She was not. She's not. Now, look,
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: does she serve herself?
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: She has said from day one, episode one, I'm about
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: this money. I was always about the money. I married
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: this man because we were supposed to do something together.
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: But as we saw in flashbacks, this is what I mean.
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: Leon said this, our family. She never said that. Kathy said,
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: you my family. You're my husband. I've chosen you. And
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: for two seasons, she's been begging him to choose her,
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: and he keeps choosing his friend, which is hilarious to.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Me that we all see that she's not loyal. That's
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: what we think. She's not loyal. And I'm like, they
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: said she was a gold digger.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Was she?
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: Because the man lost his job, lost the hardware store,
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: lost the whole franchise, and.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: She's still been there. She ain't cheated on him. She
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: ain't left nowhere.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: So what she did was she was promised a certain life,
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: a certain thing. And even when she didn't get it,
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: she didn't abandon him. She's been with him. His friends
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: the whole time been calling her a bitch and a
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: hoe and everything else.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: And he's letting that happen.
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: So I'm just saying that my argument would be that
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: actually Kathy has been faithful to him all along and
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: he has not been loyal to her.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: And she is about tired of it. But she still
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: is like, look, do you. You got a little soft heart.
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: I know you. It's okay.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: You go save your friend, be with your boy, do
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: what you got to do. But I'm going to go
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: get this money. And when I get it, I'm going
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: to come back and get you. I'll even let your
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: little friend out of jail too. But when we get
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: that money, we got to go and it's got to
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: be me and you. Because I'm tired of all this
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: talk about him and his family.
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: And his daughter. That's not my family. And I think
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: for me.
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: Kathy is just, she's someone who has always been who
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: she was, and she's shrunken herself a little bit. If
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: we remember on day one, when things started popping off,
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: she was the first one ready. She was shooting and
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: taking bodies on episode one.
• 48:59
  Speaker 23: That's why everybody loved Kathy in the first season.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Like, you were ride or die. You know what I mean?
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: You still are ride or die, but it was just.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a little fluff this season.
• 49:08
  Speaker 23: And do you feel like the audience, they will judge
• 49:10
  Speaker 23: an ambitious woman differently than they judge an ambitious man?
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Here's what's crazy.
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: Y'all, we have a villain this season. sepo sepo out.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: Here cutting off heads sepo out here drowning kids in
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: the pool do you know no one on the internet
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: is talking about sepo they are only talking about me
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: yes they judge a woman differently are you crazy like
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: a woman do she's all she's doing is trying to
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: get the money and get the money to give to
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: her she ain't trying to skip town on him She
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: wants more than anything for her and Leon to have
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: a chance to live a life. And also, look, I
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: will say this. She's also a little bit of a psychopath.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: Let's not undermine that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: Okay, thank you. She a little crazy. She's been a
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: little crazy. Leon was a little weird. Everybody a little weird.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: You know, I think the show is also about saying
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: it's average Joe, right? It's what happens if average people
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: get put into situations.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: And what do we say? You're going to find out.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: Are you a Nat Turner?
• 49:59
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Are you an Uncle Tom?
• 50:00
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Who are you?
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: And I just think that, you know, are you the
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: godfather or are you Fredo? Kathy was just a different,
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: she cut from a different cloth. That actually she really
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: is good at being a criminal, whereas the rest of
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: them are kind of fumbling through it. She's always been
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: a little bit a step ahead of them. But she just,
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: I think, would love it if she could be a
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: criminal and if Leon would still love her. And so
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: it's two things. Again, I'm just an actress, so I
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: got to play what's true to me. And I really
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: have just found it wildly fun and interesting to play
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: a woman who loves her husband but is not a
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: lover girl.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean?
• 50:40
  Speaker 23: Well, let's state her then. How much of Cynthia is
• 50:43
  Speaker 23: in your character? How much of you is in.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: If I say any, it's going to be.
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I feel like this is going to sound so terrible.
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: You said it was true to you. You got to
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: say it was true to you. I'm not a killer, obviously,
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: but honestly, Kathy is the closest to me than anything
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: I've ever played.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: You ain't no killer, so don't push it.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: That's all I'm saying. I ain't no killer. Don't push it.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: But again, Kathy is much more vicious than me. Also,
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: I just think all my life I've played a lot
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: of things that were very like lawyers and people who are.
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: All put together.
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: And I am not that person at all. I think
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: there's a public-facing version of me where people kind of...
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: You know, when I was working with Kevin, I remember
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: on our first season, at the end of Real Husbands,
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: and he met my husband.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: Kevin Hart. Yes, Kevin Hart.
• 51:33
  Speaker 18: I'm so sorry.
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: Kevin Hart, yes. And he met my husband, who is
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: now my ex-husband.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: Um who we will not mention but uh most people
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: know this again this is pretty public uh but my
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: ex-husband was in jail um and when i say in
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: jail i mean he was in jail before he became
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: my husband so yes i married the dude after he
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: got out um so there's a whole lot there uh
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: yes yeah honey i was with him the whole time
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: he was there i was with him before i was
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: with him before he went into jail i was with
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: him during the time he was in jail and i
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: was with him and then we married afterwards um in
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: the end i should have known better like my mama
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: tried to tell me see parents My mama tried to
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: tell me, but what's funny is he was in jail
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: for basically being a con.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: And guess what, y'all?
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: He turned out to be a con. Conned me into marriage. Anyway, so.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: You real life ride or die?
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: Honey, so that's what I'm saying. So what's funny is, like,
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: it actually. Y'all remember when I was on prison break?
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: I was also on prison break. That show was on
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: at the time I was going to visit him in jail.
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: And when I tell you the way them guards used
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: to mess with.
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: Me, y'all, I used to get so much. They would
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: be like, oh, you coming to break them out?
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: You coming to break your neck?
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: Shut the, it'd be like, shut the up.
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: Anyway, so yes, Kathy is probably the closest in the
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: sense that like.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: I don't, and again, I don't mean I'm a killer.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: I don't mean I'm vicious. I don't mean, I just
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: mean that I am loyal. I think, let me say,
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: I'll say it that way.
• 52:53
  Speaker 19: I am loyal.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: I was going to close, but I feel like you
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: got to take this opportunity to talk about Sin City.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: Sin City Productions. It's my production company.
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, sure.
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: I'll try to make it real quick.
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: Sin City Production Company is an independent production company. I'm
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: out of Chicago. Chicago is where I went to DePaul.
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: It's where I started my career. And so it's where
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: I went back home.
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: I left L.A. and I moved back home. And I
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: really decided that it was a place I could make
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: the most impact. In L.A., it's very hard to do
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: anything independently.
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: I'm going to be super transparent too because I always
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: love to talk about money because I think that people
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: think they can't do things and I want to be clear.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: Messy Lola is my first project. It's a 10-episode series
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: that's now on Roku. It's really hard to get an
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: independent scene by anybody, let alone the streaming. I have
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: no team behind me.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: I have no investors.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: This is 100% self-funded.
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: And then what I learned from that was all of
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: the things that I could do to make that budget
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: go even further.
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: My next project was Fried Catfish. We did it all
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: in Chicago, all Chicago locations.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: We worked very much with the Illinois Film Office, with
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: the SAG, with unions, WGA signatory. But really, and I
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: always say this, the bottom line is money is not
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: the resource. People are the resource. That you can get
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: anything done if you reach across, if you look at
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: your phone book and you realize that all your life
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: you've been creating and sowing seeds. Now, that's if you
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: are a person who's been sowing good seeds. Which is
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: why I also say, and I warn against, sometimes people
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: be so busy trying to chase something that they forget
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: to sow any seeds along the way to plant anything.
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: To support anybody else.
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: You want the support and you look back and realize
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: I haven't showed up for anybody. And that's why nobody
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: showed up for you. Because I'm really fortunate to be
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: surrounded by so many incredible creatives. When I say each
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: one of these projects, I was able to call actors.
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: I didn't audition anybody. I knew exactly who to hire
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: because I know these people. I've been in the city
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: for years working, watching them work.
• 54:35
  Speaker 18: Why?
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: I hate when I have to go audition for something
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: that I'm like, I just played that character yesterday.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: So I wanted to find writers like Kevin Douglas, who
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: created this incredible, funny, quirky show. who are pushing and
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: scraping and trying to make it and just say, I'm
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: going to hire you. I'm going to put a crew
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: together of people that might be like they're in the
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: union or they're outside of the union. They can't break
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: through because of gatekeeping. And I'm like, come get over
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: here on this set. On our set, we operate what
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: one of my executive producers that works with me, Latarion Perry,
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: what we sort of created called a.
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: Teaching set, like a teaching hospital.
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: So our department heads are people who are like in
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: unions or who have experience.
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: And then everyone underneath them is green.
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: And we make sure then that you can come in
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: to get more black people, more brown people, more women
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: in positions that they don't often get to do. So
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: when you come and you do sound, you're going to
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: actually be able to, you know, you're going to get
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: up in here and not just mic me up.
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: You're going to hold a boom. If you're a camera operator,
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: you're not just, you know, doing slate. You're going to
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: come touch this camera. We're going to get you in here.
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: You're going to work.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Teaching them as well.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: Teaching them.
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: And then also just giving them an opportunity to see,
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: but there's also a wildly active filmmaking community in Chicago already.
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: Please do not make me sound like I have changed
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: the world or anything. They were there.
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to galvanize, put people together, and get
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: some folks that maybe wouldn't have had an opportunity to
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: be in those opportunities.
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: Sin City Studios. Sin City Studios. Now, Sin City Studios
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: is what evolved into Sin City Productions.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: So that's how it happened.
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: I started because sometimes you don't know. You've got to
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: fail at a couple things to get it right. I
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: started just because I bought a building when I moved
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: back to Chicago because I believe in real estate. I
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: needed to live somewhere. And I always feel like if
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: you buy something, it's better to just have choices. Anywho,
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: I had this building. Eventually, I decided that the two
• 56:14
  Speaker 6: floors that were residential, we would instead of making it residential,
• 56:16
  Speaker 6: we would take this really creative thing we were doing.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Well, we were just kind of like we were doing
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: so much. We were doing so much. But we were.
• 56:22
  Speaker 6: Doing like experimental, creative campaign ads, editorial shoots.
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: We had an amazing photographer. We had a hair and
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: makeup team.
• 56:32
  Speaker 6: We had videographers. And then we expanded and we got
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: these podcast studios. And we were doing a bunch of stuff.
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: But I was kind of throwing spaghetti at the wall,
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: you know, but again, sometimes God, you just, and I
• 56:42
  Speaker 6: really think to this day, you don't even know what
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: you're doing.
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: But if you're operating in the will of God, it's like,
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: it'll work itself out.
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: And I really just, what I realized is that the
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: business kind of wasn't right for Chicago.
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: The market, they didn't have enough creatives that were real.
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: Willing to invest in their um careers and like the
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: media behind you know what I mean they weren't willing
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: to do that uh in a way that could sustain
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: our business so I was putting a lot of money
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: into something that wasn't bringing a lot of money out
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: but then I realized look if I'm gonna go broke
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: you know doing something let me at least do it
• 57:10
  Speaker 6: so that I have product at the end so then
• 57:12
  Speaker 6: I decided what was crazy anyways I go well Cynthia
• 57:14
  Speaker 6: you are an actress and you're a storyteller and you're
• 57:16
  Speaker 6: a writer and you're a thinker and you're a director
• 57:18
  Speaker 6: and you've been you've left your field to kind of
• 57:22
  Speaker 6: basically I wanted to fill the gap for the things
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: I didn't have in my career right I was like
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: as an actor there were things I had always wanted
• 57:28
  Speaker 6: I wanted a place that I could go to where
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: someone could help advise my career could come up with
• 57:32
  Speaker 6: strategies for publicity could help me with hair and makeup
• 57:35
  Speaker 6: and styling. Like I wanted a one sort of house
• 57:38
  Speaker 6: place where I could do that. I thought that would
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: be great for actors, right? Where you go one place
• 57:42
  Speaker 6: and like, we can take all of your brand and
• 57:45
  Speaker 6: elevate it in every way, you know, whether that, and
• 57:48
  Speaker 6: help you with media training and just any and everything
• 57:50
  Speaker 6: that you needed.
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: It was a great idea.
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: It just didn't suit my market. But then I thought,
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: I still got all these amazing people though. I had
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: all these amazing people. And from that, it was like, literally,
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: I looked to my left and my right and I said,
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: Why am I doing everything other than the thing that
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: I actually do for a living? And then I just said,
• 58:08
  Speaker 6: so Sensity Creative became Sensity Productions. We did not know
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: what was going to happen.
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: We just went. I didn't wait. I didn't consult. And
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: sometimes that's a fail on my part because I move fast.
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: I do. I also, though, move with inspiration. And attention.
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: An intention.
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: And sometimes that means, you know, I might mess up
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: a contract. I might fail at a thing.
• 58:27
  Speaker 16: I might.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: I'm just I'm gonna make mistakes. I'm gonna make mistakes.
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: But I really try to be like, hey, I'm OK
• 58:31
  Speaker 6: with making mistakes. As long as what I'm also making
• 58:36
  Speaker 6: is a possibility. You know, I want to make space
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: for more instead of I hate when people say what
• 58:43
  Speaker 6: can't happen. I feel like let's not talk about what
• 58:45
  Speaker 6: we can't do. Let's talk about what we can't do
• 58:47
  Speaker 6: and how we can do it. So we gathered together.
• 58:49
  Speaker 6: We did that first production.
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: We learned an enormous amount.
• 58:52
  Speaker 6: And then very quickly after, I did my first feature film,
• 58:55
  Speaker 6: which was my directorial debut.
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: Got the chance to work with my very dear friend,
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: Terry Vaughn. Oh, I love her. Yes, Terry Vaughn and
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: I play besties in this movie.
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: And it's a rom-com that is a rom-com that turns
• 59:07
  Speaker 6: on its head. You know, every rom-com is about some
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: woman trying to find a man again.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: Get married.
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: This one is about a woman who is married who's
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: trying to get rid of her husband. And she catfishes
• 59:14
  Speaker 6: him in order to get rid of it. And it's
• 59:15
  Speaker 6: black people, so we called it fried catfish.
• 59:17
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: So that's that movie.
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: And that's our second project.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: We're done.
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: We're in post right now. So in less than a
• 59:26
  Speaker 6: year and a half, we have gotten two really incredible projects,
• 59:29
  Speaker 6: not just ideated, but actually completed. And most importantly, we
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: finished it and we got it to streaming. And we
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: did that with no marketing, no money, really outside of
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: our original budget, no team. I really just because Chicago loves,
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: you know, loves us down.
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: And then we have spread from there. And now we're
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: out here. We're streaming.
• 59:50
  Speaker 6: And so I really just again, I mean, when I
• 59:53
  Speaker 6: say like this does come to us, meaning just that
• 59:55
  Speaker 6: I am self-funded.
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: I really did go broke doing. I put all of
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: my money into this. I invested in myself, but it's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: not myself.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 6: I invested in what I really believe so many people
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 6: around me are capable of. I invested in people the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 6: way I always wanted somebody to invest in me.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, Cynthia.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 5: And others.
• 1:00:17

  Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the latest with Lauren. What you want
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: to know?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: the black radio.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: That source is trusted. Did you hear that exclusive? Lauren,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: I'm the.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: Homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: She be having the latest on things.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: You ask the questions that need to be answered.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: On The Breakfast Club.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: If little brown girls look at you and go, I
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: want to be like you.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: LL Cool B. Talk to me.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: All right, y'all.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: So let's get into a conversation that Charlamagne had on
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: The Pivot.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 12: What?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: What?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were on the pivot, but the guys were
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: on the pivot.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Who's my guys? Ryan, Clark, Channing, Crowder, and Fred Taylor, man.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Drop on the clues box for the pivot.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 6: So I thought that this was a great conversation. It
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 6: was about all things about business, about ownership. But one
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: of the things that you got into, I thought was
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 6: worth bringing back in here for conversation. They asked you
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 6: about Colin Kaepernick. And this came during a conversation where
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 6: they were talking to you about choosing when and when
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 6: not to have certain conversations or say certain things. And
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: they specifically talked to you about the fact that. It
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 6: seems like you've been calling things out from the other side,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: from the Roc Nation, Jay-Z side of things. So let's
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: take a listen to CTG on Colin Kaepernick and Jay-Z.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 19: When Fred started the last question, he mentioned Colin Kaepernick.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 19: You mentioned something about the Jay-Z and reaching out and
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 19: some of those things.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: And you seem to be in the know a little
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: bit more.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 19: How did you come to the decision that, OK, I'm
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 19: going to share this piece of the information I have?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Only because of what you just said.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: When you see certain conversations happening and you have more information,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: like you was front and center for a lot of things,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: I think it is important just to be like, that
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: didn't quite happen in that way. Because I don't want
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: to see Colin get thrown under the bus. I don't
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: want to see Jay get thrown under the bus. But
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see them throwing each other under
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: the bus either. A lot of the conversations that are
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: happening right now, especially over the past week with the
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: book promo, They've been a little disingenuous. A lot of
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: that didn't go the way Colin said it went. It's
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: not as nefarious as it's being made out to be
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 6: So what's missing from the things that Colin Kaepernick, we're
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: hearing him say in these interviews, because he's talking about
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 6: Jay-Z because Jay-Z is a part of his book, The
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 6: Perilous Fight, right?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 5: What is missing?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: Know.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: I don't speak for anybody but myself.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: I'm only speaking on what I know and what I've
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: seen with my own eyes and heard my own ears.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Right. So and I talked about it.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I said that, you know, one of the one of
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: the things is when Jay-Z did the freestyle and everybody
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: act like he commented on Colin unprompted as if. colin's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: team hadn't been going at jay for.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: You yeah they said colin wasn't saying anything and that
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: jg just poked the bear out for.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: No reason there's additional hold on but let's take a
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: listen to ctg on colin kaepernick's team talking it's just
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: a lot in that whole scenario i think that a
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: lot of people don't know and it's because you don't
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: hear too much from jay and rock nation they're not
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: going to acknowledge it you know they're not even going
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: to going to speak on it, which gives a lot
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: of other people the opportunity to say one side and
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: then everybody focuses on that one side. And if you
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: don't have no other side to base it on, you
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: just be like, well, what that person's saying sounds true.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 19: And I think for the longest time, no side spoke.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 19: Because he was quiet for a very long time. Like
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 19: you say, Roc Nation and Jay continued.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Well, he was quiet, but not the people around him.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: So it's like even when people talk about, you know,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: the freestyle that Jay-Z did, he.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Was responding to Colin's team, to Nessa. You know what
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like they were the ones talking and saying things.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: And, you know, like, you know, you had people from
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: her radio station going on rants about it. So he
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: was replying to that. It's not like it just came.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Out of nowhere, unprompted.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: And the only thing I will add to that is
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: that Colin also spoke about Jay and his book.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: If you've read the book.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 5: The Perilous Fight.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: And advanced copies of that book went out months ago.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: And they asked Roc Nation for a quote months ago.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: And Roc Nation never gave one. But I guess, you know,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: what he put that freestyle might have been a quote.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Yep. And that's just me.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Listen, once again, I don't speak for anybody but myself.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: I'm only speaking what I know.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: And I could say a lot more. I mean, I
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: don't think I don't think there's a reason to. I
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: think that, you know, I would love to see both
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: parties sit down at the table and, you know, have
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: a real conversation.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: And let's just move.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: Why hasn't that happened?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Well, you said they tried.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 7: They tried and they didn't want to have a conversation
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 7: that happened.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. Like I said, one side wanted to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: have a conversation. Colin did not.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: But now, right?
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 6: We don't hear from Colin Kaepernick directly all the time,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 6: but his book is out. He's talking about it. I
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: know it hit the bestsellers list. He's having the conversations.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: Why not sit down and have the conversation with Jay-Z
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: so that as we were talking to you about these things,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 6: it's updated and it's here and it's now in the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 6: time that like we're talking about right now.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Because maybe he's not really interested in having a conversation.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe he'd rather sell the book.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I don't care. I think they could
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: do some really good things together.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 7: There's so much going on that that We'll be better
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 7: if they work together. But the fact that they don't
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 7: want to work together, we're talking about a lot of
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: things that who cares? Like they don't F with each other.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: They look at things differently. But there's so much more
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: to attack when it comes to this world. We got
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 7: midterms coming up. We got the fact that they're taking
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 7: so much away from us. Gas prices are high. Grocery
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 7: prices are high. We're still getting shot and attacked at
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 7: alarming rates. It's so much more.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: To talk about.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 7: And I feel like we lose the positive stuff that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 7: both of those brothers doing.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 5: Use the plot.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: There's bigger issues to be to focus on.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Correct. Absolutely. I completely agree.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: Well, make sure you guys go and check out that conversation.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 6: It is now live on the Pivots Netflix. So go
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 6: check that out. And we'll bring some back in our
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 6: overtalk as well, too, because you had just some good
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: life stuff that I think would be good talking.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: About as well. I've been alive since 1978. I've lived
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: We know you predate the Internet.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: You know, definitely.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 6: That empathy, the honesty without empathy. And we'll get into
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 6: it later. I thought that that was one of the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: best things I've heard you say. You say a lot
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 6: of dumb things, but that was good.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: That was the latest for the hour, guys.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: All right. Who are you giving your donkey to, Charlemagne? Man,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: four after the hour, man.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Something happened yesterday between the United States Senate and the
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: White House. I just think it's an interesting juxtaposition that
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: happened yesterday between the Protect College Sports Act And the
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: fact that the president wants these technocrats to police themselves.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: But we'll discuss for after the hour. All right. We'll
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: Your execution on the donkey of the day is something
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: to behold.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Is it a read?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: You need to know.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: Well, you need to tell them.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 8: You have the voice.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Tell them.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: It's time for donkey of the day.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: It's a read, but you're so good at it. You're
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 8: You're the only one Charlemagne to go.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 13: Charlemagne.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: Damn, Charlemagne, who you give a ducky of the day
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: to now?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, September 30th is
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: the double donkey.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: It's going to both the United States Senate and the
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: White House because yesterday the Senate passed the Protect College
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: Sports Act 77 to 22, which establishes a uniform federal
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: framework to regulate NIL compensation, transfers, eligibility in college athletics. Yes,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: transfers and eligibility in college athletics. Okay, let's go to
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: CBS News for the.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: Report, please.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: The bill as amended is passed. A bipartisan victory scored
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: in the U.S. Senate.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: It is about making sports about sports again.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 24: After an overwhelming vote to pass the Protect College Sports Act.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: Yet the system we have today is unsustainable, plain and simple.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Students are transferring three and four times.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: Pros are trying to play ball against college kids.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 24: The legislation would implement new national standards for college sports.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 24: That includes codifying the rights of student-athletes to earn money
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 24: from their name, image, and likeness, permitting up to five
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 24: years of eligibility to play, but only allowing them to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 24: transfer schools once. and capping agent fees. The bill is
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 24: backed by some of the biggest names in sports, from
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 24: coaches like Nick Saban and John Calipari to athletic conferences
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 24: and professional sports leagues.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: This is a hastily done bill.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 24: New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, a former Stanford football player,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 24: is one of several lawmakers who oppose the bill.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 13: There needs to be rules of the road. It can't
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 13: be the wild, wild west out there. But you can't
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 13: have wealthy interests and Congress making a deal that the
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 13: actual player are not a part of.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: Now, meanwhile, yesterday, the White House had some of the
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: biggest technology companies in the world, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: all of them agreed to basically police themselves when it
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: comes to artificial intelligence.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Let's listen to President Trump discuss. They're really going to
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: be policing each other.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 9: It's going to be very, very safe. And there's a
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 9: self-policing and there's also a group policing.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be great. Now, think about that
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: for a second.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: The people who built the A.I., who are now admitting
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: to us that technology can behave in ways they didn't
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: intend it to. OK, they're telling us AI could be dangerous.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: We are now supposed to trust those same companies and
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: those same people, the police themselves. OK, we really think
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: we can trust those companies to put safety.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: Over growth, a.k.a.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 8: Money.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: OK, now I'm not the highest grade of weed in
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: the dispensary or the strongest Avengers.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: So, America, let me see if I understand this correctly.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: A 19-year-old wide receiver gets an NIL deal and Washington says,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: slow down, we need some rules around this. But some
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: of the richest corporations on planet Earth are building AI
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: that even the people developing it acknowledge can potentially destroy
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: us all.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: And we just trust them to not let things get
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: too crazy.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: And yes, I know the agreement calls for outside audits
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: and I know there are internal controls. I know there's
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: going to be board oversight, but that's not my point.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: My point is the agreement is voluntary. OK, President Trump
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: himself called it self-policing. When is letting powerful corporations police
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: themselves ever been the gold standard for protecting the public?
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: There is a reason independent regulation exists, because it's always.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: A conflict of interest.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: And there is no bigger conflict of interest than telling
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: companies that spend hundreds of billions of dollars that are
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: all racing each other to build the most powerful AI
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: systems in the world. Hey, you guys determine whether you're
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: being safe enough. I don't see how you can improve
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: the intelligence of AI and improve the safeguards at the
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: same time. We have no evidence that the safeguards can
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: keep winning that race. But then on the other hand,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: Congress looked at college sports and suddenly discovered the importance
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: of enforceable federal rules. Now, I'd like to be fair. OK,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: everything in the Protect College Sports Act isn't bad. There's
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: protections for athletes in there. There's health care protections, protections
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: for scholarships, protection from predatory agents. You heard in the
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: news report they have federal NIL rights. They got revenue sharing.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 17: Great.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: Protect the athletes. I'm all for that. But here's where
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: the BS starts. I was born in 1978.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: And for as long as I can remember, everybody around
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: college athletes was making money.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: Universities, coaches.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: Conferences, TV networks, apparel companies all made billions of dollars.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Everybody could participate in capitalism except the people putting their
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: bodies on the field. And when that was happening, nobody
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: was screaming, we got to get this money under control. OK,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: then NIL happens. Players get some power. Revenue sharing happens.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: Athletes start making money. And suddenly Washington says we need
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: federal legislation, a.k.a. it's too many Negroes making money. Let's
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: get this under control. OK, it's no secret that.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of the young men.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Benefiting from this new college sports economy, especially in football
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: and basketball, are black. And I can't factually say that
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: the 77 United States senators voted for this bill because
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: they saw young black.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Men making money.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: You know, I can't factually ask that, but I can
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: ask a question. And the question is simply, why does
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: America's appetite for regulation seem to change depending on who
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: has the leverage? When the labor gets leveraged, Congress has
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: to get involved, okay? It has to be regulations. But meanwhile,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: some of the most powerful corporations humanity has ever created
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: are developing technology that could change employment and warfare, education,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: and damn near everything else about how we live.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: And we're talking about a morally binding agreement.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: What humans break morally binding agreements every damn day that's
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: why we have contracts that's why we have laws that's
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: why we have regulators and i'm not anti-ai okay i
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: use ai i'm investing in ai companies i just want
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: real oversight okay if the people building the technology are
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: telling us the technology is becoming more powerful shouldn't the
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: public have somebody at the table whose only responsibility is
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: protecting the public And that's what.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Makes today's double donkey so ridiculous. I'm watching Washington apply.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: Two completely different philosophies at the exact same time.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: College athletes, we need federal rules. Trillion dollar technology companies,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: we trust you guys. Okay, no.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: If anything, my instinct would be the opposite. The greater
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: the power... the greater the independent oversight should be. Because
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: the real question isn't whether America believes in regulation. The
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: question is, who does America believe needs regulating? OK, because
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: apparently if you're 19 years old and can run a
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: 4-3-40 and somebody wants to give you a couple million dollars.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Because you're good at football or basketball, Washington needs to
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on you. But if you're worth hundreds
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: of billions of dollars, trillions.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: And you're building technology powerful enough that the people creating
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: it are telling us can kill us all.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: We just trust you. We just trust that you'll promise
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: to behave.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: Please let Remy Ma give the United States Senate and
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: the White House the biggest hee-haw.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: Hee-haw, hee-haw.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 23: You stupid mother f * * * er.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 5: You dumb.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: Crazy world we're living in, man. It is. It is
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: a crazy world. Come on.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 5: You're going to need some water for that. The water's
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 5: almost gone.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: What'd you say?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: He's eating a muffin.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: He can't even talk.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: And it's like a thick muffin. He's eating a lot
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: of it at a time.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: He's... I know somebody got me in their phone under
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: that name, too. What? Thick Muffin.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: Do you know what?
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: I know it.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: That is a great Aunt Muffin.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he does.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 7: I'm sure he does.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: You give Auntie Muffin.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 5: I cannot call you Auntie Thick Muffin.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a dude out there that got you
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: under the phone Thick Muffin. Just make sure the first
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: and stick last name is Muffin. Okay.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 5: Let me change the name.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: Of my phone. Thick Muffin. Do not put him under
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: your phone as Thick Muffin. All right?
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: Yes, I am. Thank you for that donk of the day. Now,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 7: let's open up the phone lines. 800- Five, eight, five, one, oh, five, one.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 7: Savannah James was doing a podcast. They were talking about
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 7: the way that they travel, right?
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 6: Well, they were Savannah James and her podcast co-host, her
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: best friend. They were on the boardroom. They were doing
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 6: an interview because they have a podcast and they brought
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 6: up the conversation that they've had on their podcast about
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 6: how they travel.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 22: My friends are very respectful of my situation.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: OK, all of them.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 22: Like, I've never had an instance like that one time.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 20: And I think that they are, you know, if I'm like,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 20: we're going somewhere, they already understand what it is. There's
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 20: no expectation of like taking care of something or, you know,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 20: just having me be.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 21: Responsible for them. There's two different lifestyles that exist. Like
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 21: we're not delusional to that. And I think accommodating, like
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 21: even if we're going on the same trip, I don't
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 21: feel the need to be in first because that's not
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 21: in my budget. Like, so we always laugh about it.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 21: And we actually talked about it on our pod about, That's.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: A good friend.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 5: I don't feel the need.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: I respect that. Well, let's open up the phone lines.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 14: 800-585-1051.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: Salute to April McDaniel.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: That's a good friend there.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 7: Are you responsible to fund your friends' financials if you're
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 7: in a different financial class? You heard her saying they
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 7: were going on a trip. One is sitting first class.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 7: One is sitting in the back. Are you expected to
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 7: cover your friends financially if you earn more? People were
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 7: getting on Savannah James talking about, well, you're a billionaire and.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: You should be able to do it. Let's discuss. Oh, God.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Let's discuss. We'll take your phone calls when we come back.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: It's The Breakfast Club.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: Morning, everybody.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 7: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: We are The Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here as well.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 7: If you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 7: line 800-585-1051.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: And we're talking about Savannah James. Break down a conversation
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: that she had on the boardroom.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so Savannah James and her co-host from her podcast,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: April McDaniel, they do the Everybody's Crazy podcast. They were
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 6: on Boardroom during the interview, and they were talking about
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: how they travel and how it's different because Savannah, you know,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 6: flies first class and April doesn't. And people were really
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 6: pissed off at Savannah for this being the conversation, for
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: how they travel.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 5: Let me have the audio.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Let's hear it.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 22: My friends are very respectful of my situation.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 14: Good. Okay.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: All of them.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 22: Like, I've never had an instance like that one time.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 20: And I think that they are, you know, if I'm
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 20: like we're going somewhere, they already understand what it is.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 20: It's no expectation of like taking care of something or,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 20: you know, just having me be responsible for them.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 21: There's two different lifestyles that exist. Like we're not delusional
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 21: to that. And I think accommodating, like even if we're
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 21: going on the same trip, I don't feel the need
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 21: to be in first because that's not in my budget.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: So people were saying that Savannah should pay for it.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: She's a billionaire. She should have it. That's her best friend.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: That's our co-host.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: And I, but I saw, and I think bringing up
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: the podcast thing, it doesn't work in this scenario because
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: they referenced the fact that like, this was, this is
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: like them traveling leisurely. And they talk about a time on,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 6: they've talked about this on their podcast. They went to
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 6: Japan one time and Savannah flew first class and April didn't,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 6: but April made her way to first class and they
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 6: were in the same, like lay flat bed.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: You, I, why am I responsible?
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: If you decide that you want to come on a trip, like,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: Even if I initiate the trade.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 7: I don't think you're financially responsible for your friends at all.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 7: Like you said, there's different classes. If you can afford it,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 7: that's cool. And nobody can tell Savannah James what she's
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 7: doing with her money.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: She's a billionaire. We see the numbers.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 7: You don't know what she's doing, what she's investing in,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 7: what she has, or how her money set up her
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 7: kids and none of that that's her money and nobody
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: could tell that person and by the way a first
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 7: class trip the first class flight to japan could be
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 7: twenty thousand dollars so it can be twenty thousand dollars
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 7: so that's how i feel you can't tell somebody and
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 7: her friend shouldn't be entitled which she's not she understands
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 7: no this is my life this.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: Is how high this is how what i make This
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: is how I travel.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 6: If they were traveling for the podcast, I think you
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: would try to work it out in the budget of
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 6: whoever bringing y'all somewhere where both of y'all could fly
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 6: first class.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 5: But if you had to pick and choose... I don't know.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 5: That's a whole different conversation. I don't even know if
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 5: it even makes sense.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's a different conversation. If somebody is
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 7: paying me to go somewhere, right, and I can afford
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 7: first class, I'm going to fly first class. Like, in
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 7: a couple of weeks, I have to go to China, right?
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: First class is expensive as ish. I got people coming
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 7: with me. They're not flying first class. There's no way
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 7: I'm spending $ 20, 000 on first class tickets. I got six
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 7: kids and families to take care of.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: No, it's not happening.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: That's just me personally. Yeah, I mean... That's me personally. Now,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: if I could afford it and I had it, then
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: maybe I would, but.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 24: I'm not.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, you're going to say I'm counting her pockets,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 5: but Savannah, they got it.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, Savannah definitely got it. But, I mean, I don't
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: think it's a matter of if she got it or not.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Can't count that money, though.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: I think the reality of the situation is I'm that friend,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: especially in regards to work, right? If it's work-related, you know,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: if I'm in first class, the person traveling with me
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: is going to be in first class. You know, whatever
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: hotel I'm staying at, that person is going to stay at.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: But I've definitely seen where that can breed a sense
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: of entitlement. Now, there's another caveat to this conversation that
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear in this clip. I don't know if
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: it was discussed. On this podcast, I've never listened to
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: their podcast. If Savannah told her friends, hey, we're going
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: to Japan, I'm just basing this off how I roll,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: how I roll when it's vacation. I'm the type of person,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: when I go out of the country, I'm going to
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: rent a big place. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: And we'll invite our friends and our family, and they
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: pay for their way to get there. You know what
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? And if they pay for their way to get.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: There, I don't hear nobody talking about the fact maybe
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: Savannah already got a house rented for them in Japan,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: so when they land in Japan, she don't got to
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: do nothing. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure when
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: she gets to Japan, her and Savannah stay in some
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: house and they got the butlers and the maids.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 5: And the food is taken care of. She's going to
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: have to stay a certain way, Savannah James.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And I'm only basing that on how I roll.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: When I go on vacation and I'm out the country,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: I've usually written a house or something and I invite
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: my friends and my family and however they get there
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: is how they get there.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: But when they get there, they good.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: I see.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: I'm the same.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 7: Even when I go on, when I go on vacation,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 7: I do the same. Even when I do my car
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 7: shows and I do it in different cities, you get there.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: Ben's got your hotels. Just get your information. We take
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: care of everything else. Just get there. And I don't
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: know how you flying there.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: And if we're on the same plane, like, and this is,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: by the way, this has happened. If we're on the
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: same plane, and me and my family in first, does
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: it matter?
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 17: No.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: If you're not in first? Because once we land, you're
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: coming to the house. You ain't got to pay for
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: no food.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: You're good. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 5: I get what you're saying, but I think when people
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 5: look at this, they're like.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: Because in the original clip from their podcast, I didn't
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: listen fully. I only saw the clip where they posted
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: about the Japan trip. It was a trip that Savannah
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: wanted to go on.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 5: And April said.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: She ain't need to be spending no money going to Japan,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: but Savannah wanted to go. So it's like, all right,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: we out.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 7: So sometimes you just got to say no to like, nah,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 7: it ain't my budget.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you. I bet you any amount of money.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: And I have not looked at that podcast.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: I bet you when they got to Japan, Savannah already
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: had them a place to stay. She probably had all
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: her friends staying in that place. And I guarantee you
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: she footed that bill.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 7: Savannah ain't obligated to pay anybody's check but her family's,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 7: in my opinion.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: Well, the people was like, this is why she don't
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 6: need a podcast. She need to just sit pretty because
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 6: she looks like a mean girl because she not paying
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 6: for her friend to be.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: In first class. But I guarantee you there's more to
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: this story. I guarantee you when they got to Japan,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: she was good.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 5: I'll go to the original and see.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: Hello, who's this? This is Tyrone. How you doing? Good morning. Tyrone,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: what's up, brother?
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 14: Not much.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 15: I was just calling on that topic, and I think
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 15: that a person who thinks that a friend of theirs
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 15: is obligated to finance them because they're a billionaire, they
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 15: have bad motives.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 18: I agree.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 18: I don't think just because you have money that.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 8: That makes that, you know, you don't have to take.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 18: Care of somebody else's financial obligations.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 17: That's not part of being a friend.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. Thank you, brother.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: And it's all, and I hate to say it like this, man,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: but boy, it's a lot of backseat drivers in these conversations.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: You're always trying to tell people what they should be
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: doing with their money. Absolutely. Like, you don't know what,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: you don't know what the full situation is. Hello? Who's this?
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 8: Hello, my name is Sire the Five.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: Sire, what up?
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 14: How are you doing, guys?
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Talk to us. What's your opinion, man?
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 14: So my opinion is that, you know, because they're friends
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 14: with them, they already receive a good experience and everything.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 14: They give gifts and everything. I don't think they should
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 14: share the trip and everything, the experience. But she has
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 14: a duty to give back to the association and charity
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 14: and all that.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Do you get free cab rides, dear friend? Shut up, man.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: What's up, Charlamagne?
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: I'm asking him a question. What'd you say? I said,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: do you get free cab rides? Goodbye, son. Never mind.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: Y'all always make me act like I'm stupid. Why do
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: y'all do that? I'm asking him a legitimate question here. Now, Monet,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: did I say your name right? Monet?
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 5: Monet from Jersey.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 7: Now, you think that Savannah was foul for not paying
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 7: for it.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 15: I mean, honestly, she don't even have to pay for it.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 15: If I'm flying with my friend, we're going on a vacation.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 15: She said on the podcast that her friend sits in
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 15: business class. Put me down to business class. Like, I
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 15: want to sit with my friend when we're going somewhere naturally. Like,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 15: I don't want to sit by myself in the front.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 15: That is weird. And like Lauren was saying, if they're
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 15: going on a business trip, it's a tax write-off anyway.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 15: So why wouldn't we?
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: Why do y'all say that? Y'all don't even know. That's
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: just something that people say. I don't know.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: She said if it's a work trip, it's a business trip.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: Why do y'all say that? That's not always true. Where
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: do y'all get that from? Where did you get that from?
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 5: It is true.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 15: I do taxes. I went to school for accounting.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Well, everybody's not always writing that off as a business trip. Well,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: if it is a business trip and you're flying somewhere, yes.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: But in this instance, though, they were just talking about
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 5: going on a trip as friends.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a girl's trip. Yes.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 15: Yeah, if it's a friend's trip, I want to sit
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 15: with my friends. So I'll bump down to business class
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 15: because I want to sit with my friends.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: Would you go to economy?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 15: No, I would bump her up to business.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's say.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 15: When I go out to eat with my friends, I
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 15: make more money than my friends and I'll pay for
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 15: them to go to dinner. I'll buy rounds of shots.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 15: That's just what I do. And I feel like when
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 15: you don't, that kind of builds jealousy and envy in
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 15: the friend group.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: But that ain't your friend. You got other expenses, too.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 7: If you're flying, let's say, out the country, let's say Japan,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 7: and that first class flight could be $ 15, 000, right?
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: It's a 15-hour flight.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: Are you going to sit in economy or are you
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 7: going to bump your friend up for $ 15, 000? You got kids.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 7: You got expenses. You got a husband. You got parents
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 7: that you're taking care of. You're just going to spend
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 7: that $.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 6: 15, 000 on your friend?
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 15: She said her friend is already paying for business class.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 15: Her friend is not sitting in economy either.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: Business class is very expensive too, by the way. It is.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: And once again, we don't know. What happened once they
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: got to Japan?
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: If Savannah told them, hey, I want to go to Japan,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you she rented a house.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 5: I guarantee you.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you she probably rented a house and all
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: her friends stayed with her.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: And I bet you Savannah took care of that house bill.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 11: 800-585-1051.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: I just want you to know.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: Too, all work trips and travel expenses cannot just be
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: written off on your taxes.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: That's what they be telling you. They have to qualify.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: They qualify for it. Have the tax deduction. Yes, that's right.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: Are you responsible to fund your friend's financial if you're
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 7: in a different financial class? This conversation comes from Savannah
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 7: James and her friend talking about how they travel, how
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 7: they move, the fact that Savannah is a billionaire and
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 7: her friend is not. So let's discuss this at The
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 7: Breakfast Club.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: We are The Breakfast Club.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 7: Now, if you're just joining us, we open up the
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 7: phone lines 800-585-1051. We're asking, are you expected to cover
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 7: your friends financially if you earn more?
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: That is the question. What are your thoughts on it, Lauren? I,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: if I.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 6: Can, wouldn't mind looking out for my friend, but I
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 6: don't want to feel obligated to have to do that.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 6: And I don't even want friends that come like, you're
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 6: supposed to do this because this is what is happening.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 5: I've never had friends like that.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 6: And I don't want any, because I think that that
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: type of friend, the minute that you can't do the,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: the friendship is done. Like it changes the dynamic of like,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: what are you really here for and around for? Like
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: the perks of being my friend is our friendship. What
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 6: I choose to do for you is what I choose
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: to do for you. But I don't think there's anything
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 6: wrong with, with if Savannah wanted to being like, yo,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: I got you.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 7: I don't have any, any friends that would be upset
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 7: if I'm sitting in first class and they sit in
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: an economy. I don't have any friends like that. I'm,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 7: friendship is not based around money. It's based around friendship
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 7: and love and the fact that we care for one another.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 7: There's not one friend that I can think of that's
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 7: going to be like, oh, you were first class on
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: Black Kid? None of my friends are like that.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you, if it's work-related... I want
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: us rolling the same way. Same way.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, if it's work-related, most of the time,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: if it's work-related, I'm not paying for the flights or
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: anything anyway, okay? So if I'm in first, you in first,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: we're going to stay at the same hotel.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: You put me in Southwest one time, and we friends.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: You deserve to be back there.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 11: See?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: But also, Southwest don't have no categories. They don't have
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: no firsts.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 5: Everybody's equal.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody's equal.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 6: No, I went somewhere with Sher before, and the hotel,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh, this is so nice.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: Where the hell we went?
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: The movies in D.C., Lauren be talking about stuff that
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 6: I don't even remember. What's the black woman that owns
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 6: the Salamander?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, Sheila Johnson. Sheila Johnson.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 6: Me and Nyla had this really nice suite and I
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 6: think it was on accident but it was so nice.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't on accident but see, that's me though.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: That's how I roll. So you put everybody in suites?
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: Y'all share the suite, right?
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But it was big.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: It was like we had our own side of an apartment.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, Charlotte. But also, it's easier. First of all, it's
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: sweet to Sheila. That's the homie right there. I love Sheila.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: But also, it's easier because we're all rolling together. That
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: was work. That's when we were doing the night of
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: the election. Election night. Yeah, so that was work.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 6: But I never come somewhere expecting that. I come like,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: all right, I got to get a hotel. In my mind,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I have a cousin that live in D.C.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 5: I'll just stay with her. He's like, no, we have
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 5: a suite. But that's what I'm saying. It's an expectation.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: And I think when people are trying to be upset
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: at Savannah, it's like, why would you want her just
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 6: because she has the money to be in this situation?
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 6: But if your friend is like, financially, I'm not there
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: and I want us to all enjoy the things. Because
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: Savannah did say in the older podcast, she's a very
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 6: particular traveler. So she does require certain things. And come
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 6: if you can do all the things, but don't worry
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 6: about it if you can't. Maybe she does look out
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 6: in other places.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you when they got to Japan, they stayed
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: at a place that Savannah paid for.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: I would almost bet... A lot on that. And I
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: don't even gamble.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 7: Well, we have Tasha on the line. Tasha, what's your thoughts, mama?
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so listen.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 18: First of all, we're talking about grown women, right?
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 15: So if we are grown women, we should not have
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 15: any expectation for anyone to pay for anything.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 15: Oh, I think Savannah's like at least 40.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 22: Our friendships are based off energy, not about how much
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 22: money you make.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 8: So if we going on a trip, I'm.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 15: More focused on getting on a trip, not who paying
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 15: for what and all that.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: That's childish. And get there and have a good time.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: You're right. You're right.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: That is the biggest thing. Stuff like this can breed
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: expectation and entitlement.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: What's the moral of the story?
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: If there is a moral, the moral of the story
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: is I need to hear more of this story because
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I'm just basing this off how I move.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: If I'm saying, yo, it's vacation time. We all going
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: on vacation. It is because I've already secured a house
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: for everybody to stay in wherever we going and get
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: on a plane and Pull up, you good.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: So I guarantee you Savannah had the place for them
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: when they got to Japan.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 5: My moral is.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: And that's the part nobody's thinking about.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 5: Get your flight miles up. You can upgrade with the miles.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 7: My moral is it is what it is, man. You
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 7: fly your class. Like, if you can afford first class, fly.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: If not, it's okay. It's all right. It is what
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 5: They love coming for Savannah. She seems so cool.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: They love coming for anybody who is too rich. And
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Especially if you black. And
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I will fly any class
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: it takes to get home. It doesn't matter.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 7: If my son got a game, I will sit in
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 7: the back of the plane to get home to my family.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: I don't care. It is what it is. We all
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: get in the same place.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: I'll be out. I'll be like, all right. What y'all
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 5: got left?
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: Get me.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: I want to go Vegas. I was like, I want
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 5: to go home. Get me home.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you. All right. When we come back,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: we got the latest. We'll know what we're talking about, Lauren.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 6: Quavo just made a major announcement. He is a daddy now.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: We're going to talk about it.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 13: Good morning.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: Lauren, we're coming for free. Tell us. Tell us. She
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 5: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: She be having the latest on it.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: have a little bit of everything.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: What is the latest?
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 4: Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On The Breakfast Club.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: Talk to me. Top Dog Law. Body roll low.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: Body roller.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: I think my son, what you talking over there, girl?
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: What's happening?
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 6: Let's get into the latest because we've been talking a
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: lot about Chris Brown and that dog attack that happened
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 6: at his home now.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 5: But this is an update.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 6: So remember, we talked about the fact that Chris Brown
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 6: was asking the judge for a new trial because Chris
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 6: Brown felt like that twelve point nine million dollar award
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: was a lot was way too much money.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: So it is.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: He might have gotten a victory. The judge has decided
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: to consider or to give him a new trial. But
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 6: only if Maria Avila, who is the woman that was
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 6: attacked by the dog, the former housekeeper, doesn't agree to
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 6: the offer. So right now they're offering her a reduced
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 6: amount of money. Nine point five million dollars.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of money. A lot of money.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: A lot of money.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 6: And remember, that award is going to be split between her,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 6: her husband and her sister, who also say that, you know,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 6: they were affected negatively.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 5: Because of the trauma she was suffering.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: Who's offering her this? Is the court or is Chris
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: offering her?
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 5: It's the court.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 6: So the court, basically, they've looked at everything that was
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: presented and they say she does deserve to get something
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: because of what she experienced and the damage that it did.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 6: But what the judge is saying is that the judge
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 6: doesn't believe that there's going to be permanent nerve damage
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 6: and that the value assigned to all the future pain
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 6: and suffering that they brought into the case, the judge does...
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 6: There's not enough evidence. The judge isn't buying it.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: And why do I got to pay the husband and sister?
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: They didn't get bit by the goddamn dog.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but the husband talked about, you know, like, just...
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: he's caring for her and some of the trauma that
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 6: has come into their family. And, and then the sister,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: I believe was actually there when it happened and, and
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: like saw her.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: She didn't get bit though. She didn't get bit though.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 7: But there, you can't say you, you seen some in traumatized.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 7: You could sue somebody for that. That's crazy. And that's
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 7: why I got.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: To pay you because your sister got bit by the dog.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: By the way, we paying her enough money for all
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: of y'all.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: Okay. So if I got to pay extra money, if
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: that 9 million equates, that don't make sense. Y'all too,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: as well. No, no, sir. That don't make sense.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 6: Well, we'll find out what happens because she either has
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 6: to accept this offer or take it back to trial.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 5: If I was her, I would just take the offer.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't even chance going back to trial.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: Because now you're gambling with even potentially even less than
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 6: that nine point five.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: So because it can.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 6: Be reduced the less that you make the court believe,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 6: you know, there's all these all this stuff is going
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 6: to happen to you.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 5: You won't be able to work. You won't be able
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 5: to do this. The less money you go.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: She should leave well enough alone. Don't don't bite off
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: more than the dog can chew. Yeah, but just, I mean,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: $ 9 million is a lot of money.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 7: But remember, $ 9 million, the lawyer gets third, so she gets, what,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 7: $ 6 million? And then she gets to divvy that out
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 7: to her family. That's still a lot of money, boy.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 7: I think so, too.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: It's still a lot of money.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 7: But she's probably going for the gusto, the $ 12, $ 13 million.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, and to be fair, she's going for this
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: because what she is arguing is that she... She's a
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 6: housekeeper and she can't work the same way that she
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 6: was able to work prior to being attacked by this
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 6: dog because of the nurse damage. But so we'll keep
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 6: you guys updated there and let you know what happens.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Whatever she gets, I understand. But paying the husbands and
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: the sisters and all that makes no sense.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: Well, we'll let you guys know what happens. Now, shifting
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 6: gears a bit. Family, Quavo is a dad. He announced
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 6: it yesterday officially.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Drop a bomb for Quavo.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so there was a.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: One of Clue's bombs, man. It's not just a regular bomb.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: Drop one of Clue's bombs for Quavo. Why did you
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: close bomb?
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: So he was on Idea Generation and he was having
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 6: a conversation about the fact that he's a dad. Now,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 6: before we play this clip, I do want to say
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: we were all up in Quavo's business before this.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: Who is we? Stop saying we. That'd be you. Don't
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: be saying no we. I ain't know nothing about no
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: Quavo and no baby.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 6: Listen, because the word on the street was that Quavo
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: had a baby that we just did not know about
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 6: because they bought it like a year ago.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: It was in 20. It was a year ago.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 6: It was some time ago, Quavo was on this private
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 6: jet and he posted a video. And in the background
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: of the video, you heard a baby cry. People was like,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 6: do you have a kid? But yeah, he's talking about
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 6: being a dad. And when he posted a teaser for
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 6: his new album that he's dropping, there was a baby
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 6: in the trailer that people was like, OK, this is
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 6: the daughter. Let's take a listen to Quavo on being
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: a dad.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: You mentioned bringing in a new life. You recently announced
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: that you have a daughter. Right.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 25: Can you tell me a little bit about how the
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 25: experience of fatherhood has started to change you? I mean,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 25: that's just adding more fuel to the fire. And it's
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 25: a blessing that God gave me. Being that I came,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 25: I'm coming from so much, and I didn't even know
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 25: what was happening. So I'm just, it's a whole new state.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 25: It brings joy to me. It brings a new light.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 25: It brings a new reason why I'm doing this. It
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 25: brings a new hunger, a new fire to me. We
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 25: used to always talk about that.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: And so I'm just happy. I'm just happy about it.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 25: It's just, I'm real sensitive when it come to that.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 25: That's my self part. Just seeing her light, seeing her smile,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 25: you know, seeing her call me dad and just looking
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 25: just like me. That's the scary and beautiful part about it.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: Well, congratulations. Congratulations. How old is the baby?
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 5: We don't know.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 6: But in the trailer, it's a baby baby. She's so adorable, though.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 6: She's got a little chunky cheeks. You can only see
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: the top part of her face. But beautiful baby girl, yes.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 6: But he also gets into, because remember we talked about
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 6: how Quavo and Offset are going to do the final
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: Migos album. He talks about them mending their relationship and
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 6: Takeoff's passing being responsible for that. Let's take a listen
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 6: on Quavo on relationship with Offset.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: How did his passing change your relationship with Offset? It
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: eased it a little bit.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 25: I felt like it threw out all the things that
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 25: I was upset about or that we had friction about.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 25: On his end, I'm just talking for me. I feel
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 25: like it was enough for me to just say, all right, cool, whatever.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 25: You know what I'm saying? Whatever you're going through, I
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 25: go through it with you and whatever. You know what
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 25: I'm saying? I'm going through it. I hope you understand
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 25: what I'm going through. And I think that as long
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 25: as I understand Whatever everybody be going through and I
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 25: can't control, that I can't control or can't be upset
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 25: or emotional about, that's what I think. That chrome outer
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 25: layer come from that part, me losing my brother and
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 25: understanding that it can't get no tougher than that. So
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 25: whatever that's in front of me that I got to
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 25: deal with to make my life more easier and this
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 25: music get through and to get these fans that they want,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 25: I'm going to do it.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: So he got his album dropping and then him and Offset,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: they're doing a Migos album?
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 6: So Quavo's project, Chrome Life, drops this Friday, October 2nd.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 6: But yes, they are currently working on a final Migos album.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 6: We don't know when that will drop, but we know
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 6: that they're working on it. And Quavo and Offset have
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 6: a song on the Chrome Life project that people are
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 6: really excited to hear. Just see them back together, you know,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 6: doing music. That's what we said yesterday. Yeah, sitting in
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 6: a club with each other.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: I guess an album release party.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they were out in L.A.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: So salute to them.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 7: And I'm glad that they let the pettiness or whatever
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 7: their beef was to decide to.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: Start working on some new music. Just be friends again.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: That's dope.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: And, I mean, you know, listen, you can say whatever
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: you want about the Migos, but you have to rank
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: them as one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 5: I was asking, will we ever see that? Like, will
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 5: we ever see that again?
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? See what?
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: Like a hip-hop... young, all-male group get together and do.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: All the things that they have. I'm sure you will.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: We saw that multiple times.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 5: Who have we seen since the Migos do that?
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 17: Before?
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: Well, since the Migos, but before.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm saying right now. They're kind of like in
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 6: the same time period-ish.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying as far as hip-hop goes. We will
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: see that again. Hopefully. We've seen it with OutKast.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 6: It's just always so many years in between, in my opinion.
• 1:39:20

• 1:42:29
  Speaker 6: they bring together on this Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 6: all professionals across media, PR, marketing who are looking to build,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 6: but also working with corporations. And it's just a good time.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 6: You just have some drinks, have some conversations and you
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 6: can network. And I don't even like the word networking,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 6: but this room and this event, it's worth coming to if.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 5: That is what you're looking to do, if you're looking
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 5: to build something.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: Where is it?

• 1:43:07
  Speaker 6: She's a HBCU grad who, when she graduated from college,

• 1:43:21
  Speaker 6: a good time with us this Friday.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: Word. And the positive note is this, man.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: Some chances don't come back ever. Time does not wait, okay?
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: Time doesn't wait around while you overthink, hesitate, or try
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: to feel ready. Some doors open once, quietly, and close
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: the same way. No warning, no second shot. Yeah, it's
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: scary to take the risk, to step into something uncertain,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: but missing it stays with you way longer than failing
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: ever will. Opportunities don't care if you are confused. They
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: don't care if you are tired or not in the mood.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: They move on.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: And watching someone else live the life you almost chose,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: that hits different. So when something feels right, even if
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: it's uncomfortable as hell, move! Because regret isn't allowed in
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: the moment. It builds slowly. And one day, it's the
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: only thing you have left. Y'all have a great day.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or y'all done? Woke up,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: woke up, wake you up. Wake that ass up.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 4: Program your alarm to power 105.1 on iHeartRadio.
