Speaker 7: Last night I went to the Knicks game.
0:32
Speaker 2: Oh, dope.
0:32
Speaker 9: I got to see my daughters perform. That was their
0:34
Speaker 9: first performance at Madison Square Garden.
0:36
Speaker 8: Were they nervous?
0:38
Speaker 9: Well, London wasn't nervous. Brooklyn was nervous. But Brooklyn had
0:41
Speaker 9: a couple more routines than London did. So she had
0:44
Speaker 9: to flip and... She was nervous that the court might
0:46
Speaker 9: be a little slippery because the players were playing.
0:47
Speaker 5: Right, right, right.
0:48
Speaker 7: But, no, they killed it. Absolutely killed it.
0:50
Speaker 2: It was the highlight of the game to me. Right.
0:52
Speaker 8: You didn't even pay attention to the game. Who won
0:54
Speaker 8: the game?
0:54
Speaker 2: The Timberwolves. The Knicks didn't win a preseason game all year.
0:57
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. The Timberwolves are going
0:59
Speaker 2: to be a problem. Yeah, the Timberwolves are going to
1:00
Speaker 2: be a problem.
1:00
Speaker 6: The Timberwolves are going to be a real problem. They
1:02
Speaker 6: looked good last night. And Anthony Edwards, of course. Now
1:05
Speaker 6: they got LaMelo Ball.
1:06
Speaker 10: Yes.
1:06
Speaker 2: Jaden McDaniels. Like, they're going to be a problem. Yeah,
1:08
Speaker 2: they are. Yeah, they are.
1:09
Speaker 7: But it was just great watching them perform and watching
1:11
Speaker 7: the crowd react.
1:12
Speaker 2: And then after... Yeah.
1:13
Speaker 9: You know, when you pick them up after them dancing
1:15
Speaker 9: and them walking through the crowd. And, you know, you
1:16
Speaker 9: have to get your car after everything. And just parents
1:18
Speaker 9: coming up to them.
1:19
Speaker 2: And don't say, oh, you killed it last night.
1:21
Speaker 9: So they remember the faces and all that. So I
1:23
Speaker 9: had an amazing time last night. So salute to the
1:26
Speaker 9: Knicks City Dancers and the Knicks organization. I had a
1:28
Speaker 9: great time last night. So salute to the kids out

3:28
Speaker 9: The Buffalo Bills beat the Rams 37-34. Now, the Buffalo
3:32
Speaker 9: Bills are 4-1. Now, Major League Baseball, of course, is

Speaker 9: Brewers beat the Dodgers 7-4.
3:41
Speaker 7: What's up, Mimi?
3:42
Speaker 5: Good morning, Envy.
3:43
Speaker 2: Hey, Jess.
3:43
Speaker 11: Hey, girl.
3:44
Speaker 5: Charlamagne.
3:45
Speaker 12: Good morning.
3:46
Speaker 10: All right, so Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
3:49
Speaker 10: America's largest injury law firm.
3:52
Speaker 12: So we begin this morning in Washington, D.C. That's where
3:54
Speaker 12: federal agents.
3:55
Speaker 10: They searched the home of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar yesterday morning.
4:00
Speaker 10: This happened just three weeks before the midterms. So agents
4:03
Speaker 10: with Homeland Security investigations, they were looking. Well, we don't
4:07
Speaker 10: know what they were looking for, but they carried out boxes.
4:10
Speaker 12: From her home.
4:11
Speaker 10: The Justice Department confirms agents had a search warrant that.
4:14
Speaker 12: Was approved by a judge. But so far, officials. have
4:17
Speaker 12: not exactly said what they were looking for.
4:20
Speaker 10: A reporter, though, caught up with Omar on Capitol Hill
4:23
Speaker 10: and asked her about the raid, and this is what
4:25
Speaker 10: she had to say.
4:26
Speaker 13: I was wondering if you had a response to the
4:29
Speaker 13: DHS secretary and Tom Homan saying that you allegedly violated
4:36
Speaker 13: immigration law and that you're under criminal investigation.
4:38
Speaker 14: Well, why don't you follow up with them and ask
4:41
Speaker 14: them what is the information that they have and how
4:44
Speaker 14: long does the investigations take?
4:46
Speaker 13: I was wondering if they've reached out to you at
4:48
Speaker 13: all formally, sent you any letters to tell you you're
4:51
Speaker 13: under investigation.
4:53
Speaker 10: So according to her, she had no idea that this
4:56
Speaker 10: was happening. President Trump and members of his administration have repeatedly, though,
5:01
Speaker 10: accused her of immigration fraud. She denies those allegations and
5:05
Speaker 10: no criminal charges have been filed against her. President Trump
5:08
Speaker 10: was also asked about the raid yesterday, and this is
5:11
Speaker 10: what he had to say.
5:12
Speaker 2: I've always found her.
5:13
Speaker 15: To be totally crooked personally, but that has nothing to
5:16
Speaker 15: do with me.
5:17
Speaker 2: I think she's a terrible person, just a complainer. She
5:21
Speaker 2: comes from a.
5:21
Speaker 6: Country that is a non-country, and then she comes over
5:25
Speaker 6: here and she complains about our Constitution.
5:28
Speaker 16: I think she's a terrible person, but that's really up
5:31
Speaker 16: to the DOJ.
5:31
Speaker 2: I have nothing to do with it.
5:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, we really live in a country where, you know,
5:37
Speaker 6: an administration can use criminal investigations to punish political opposition.
5:41
Speaker 2: Because it's not like they haven't been on our head
5:43
Speaker 2: for a long, long, long, long time. Okay? And really,
5:46
Speaker 2: all you want is the headline. It's humiliation, right?
5:49
Speaker 6: Headlines connect her with criminal investigations and immigration fraud, and that's...
5:54
Speaker 6: That's it.
5:55
Speaker 2: That's the narrative.
5:55
Speaker 7: It makes people it makes people seem guilty.
5:57
Speaker 2: Right.
5:57
Speaker 9: When they raid your house or they say something is
5:58
Speaker 9: being raided automatically. The first thing that thinks in your
6:01
Speaker 9: mind is she must have did something for them to
6:02
Speaker 9: do that. Even even know a search warrant doesn't establish guilt.
6:05
Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah. They're looking for something. Absolutely.
6:09
Speaker 10: Sources familiar with the case told CBS News that investigators
6:12
Speaker 10: are examining documents completed by Omar's late father.
6:17
Speaker 12: When he immigrated to the United States from Somali.
6:19
Speaker 10: So whatever that means, they're looking into, I guess, how
6:23
Speaker 10: he filled out his paperwork.
6:25
Speaker 2: Her late father.
6:26
Speaker 12: Her late father.
6:27
Speaker 7: So even if there's something wrong, they're going to arrest him?
6:29
Speaker 7: They're going to take him out of his grave and
6:30
Speaker 7: arrest him? Like, come on.
6:32
Speaker 6: It sounds like they're trying to build the case that
6:35
Speaker 6: she shouldn't be here. As if she's been here illegally
6:39
Speaker 6: all these years.
6:39
Speaker 2: That's what it feels like.
6:40
Speaker 12: Yeah, it could very well be that.
6:42
Speaker 10: And of course, she's running for reelection in Minnesota. Election
6:45
Speaker 10: Day is just 22 days away. So she says this
6:49
Speaker 10: is an attempt to intimidate her politically and she will
6:52
Speaker 10: not be silenced. And moving to another race that is
6:57
Speaker 10: starting to pick up a lot of steam. I'm talking
6:59
Speaker 10: about the race to replace longtime Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell.
7:03
Speaker 10: So that is now heating up. The two candidates in
7:06
Speaker 10: that race are going after each other. Republican Congressman Andy
7:10
Speaker 10: Barr is facing Democrat Charles Booker for the seat.
7:14
Speaker 12: McConnell has held that seat for more than 40 years.
7:16
Speaker 5: Now, Barr is.
7:17
Speaker 10: Calling Booker a socialist and a communist, comparing him to
7:20
Speaker 10: New York mayors Iran Mandani and, of course, Congresswoman AOC.
7:24
Speaker 10: But Booker, he is pushing back, saying Barr is more
7:26
Speaker 10: focused on calling him names than helping the people who
7:29
Speaker 10: are struggling pay his bills. Now, the two, they have
7:32
Speaker 10: different ideas about how to bring down costs, including gas
7:35
Speaker 10: prices and energy bills. I sat down with Booker And
7:38
Speaker 10: I asked him what makes him different from his Republican challenger.
7:42
Speaker 12: Let's listen.
7:43
Speaker 10: Your opponent, Andy Barr, says he's a candidate that will
7:46
Speaker 10: lower taxes, protect Kentucky jobs, and support President Trump's agenda.
7:50
Speaker 12: We just talked about that.
7:51
Speaker 10: But what's the clearest policy difference between the two of
7:54
Speaker 10: you that you think will actually affect Kentuckians and just
7:58
Speaker 10: their livelihood?
8:00
Speaker 17: Andy Barr voted to cut health care. I want to
8:02
Speaker 17: make sure everybody has it. Andy Barr has voted against
8:05
Speaker 17: investing in our infrastructure. I want to make sure that
8:07
Speaker 17: we have roads and bridges that can connect us to
8:10
Speaker 17: our opportunities and that Internet's not crap.
8:13
Speaker 2: Andy Barr supports endless war. I want to end endless war.
8:17
Speaker 17: Andy Barr built a campaign saying in his ad, he
8:20
Speaker 17: put money behind an ad on TV saying it's not
8:23
Speaker 17: a sin to be white. It's not a sin to
8:25
Speaker 17: be Christian. It's not a sin to be man. That's
8:28
Speaker 17: his message. And as I called him out, of course,
8:30
Speaker 17: it's not a sin to be who God created you
8:32
Speaker 17: to be. But it ought to be a sin to
8:34
Speaker 17: be that desperate. We are nothing the same. He's a sellout.
8:37
Speaker 17: And I'm standing for the people.
8:39
Speaker 2: Yep.
8:40
Speaker 10: So with Mitch McConnell standing down, of course, like I said,
8:44
Speaker 10: he's been there for more than 40 years. I did
8:45
Speaker 10: ask Booker, you know, what he plans to do differently
8:48
Speaker 10: than Mitch does right now in Kentucky.
8:52
Speaker 12: And how will the voters be able to tell that difference?
8:55
Speaker 12: And this is what he told me.
8:56
Speaker 17: You know, it's always surreal to say it, but Mitch
8:58
Speaker 17: McConnell was elected when I was two weeks old. So
9:01
Speaker 17: he really has been in office my entire life. And
9:04
Speaker 17: with rising costs, these ridiculous tariffs that are being thrown
9:07
Speaker 17: around war after war with Iran, but go on down
9:10
Speaker 17: the line and just all the chaos in our politics.
9:13
Speaker 2: A lot of it is thanks to Mitch McConnell.
9:15
Speaker 17: We need a leader who will prioritize working people to
9:18
Speaker 17: where we have more money in our pockets, that we
9:20
Speaker 17: have that same high quality health care that he's been
9:22
Speaker 17: getting while he was gone for 90 plus days and
9:25
Speaker 17: throughout his career, and that we finally have the chance
9:28
Speaker 17: to do better than just struggle.
9:30
Speaker 10: So again, Election Day is November 3rd, and whoever wins
9:33
Speaker 10: will take over Mitch McConnell's seat, which he's held since 1985.
9:38
Speaker 10: You can hear that full interview with Senate candidate Charles
9:41
Speaker 10: Booker on my podcast front page with Mimi Brown. And
9:46
Speaker 10: coming up, guys, in the next hour, a popular cash
9:49
Speaker 10: advance app that could owe you money.
9:51
Speaker 12: We're going to tell you how to get that. We
9:52
Speaker 12: all could use some money right now. So this hour

12:58
Speaker 2: He's coming tomorrow. He's coming tomorrow.
13:01
Speaker 5: Thank you for telling us.

13:18
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Like, we just told him
13:20
Speaker 2: he's going to be on the show tomorrow. That's amazing.
13:22
Speaker 2: I ain't here.
13:23
Speaker 5: Shout out.
13:24
Speaker 2: We just told you he's going to be on tomorrow.
13:26
Speaker 8: It should have been a front page news, man.
13:29
Speaker 2: God damn.
13:29
Speaker 5: Hello, who's this?
13:31
Speaker 11: Hello, this is Kelly.
13:32
Speaker 2: Hello there. Hey, Kelly.
13:34
Speaker 8: Hello, Kelly.
13:34
Speaker 2: Get it off your chest, Kelly.
13:36
Speaker 11: Well, I just called because I just wanted you all
13:38
Speaker 11: to send me out some prayers because Thursday I have
13:41
Speaker 11: a hearing from my mom. I'm trying to get a
13:44
Speaker 11: reverse mortgage for her. Me and my brother are struggling
13:47
Speaker 11: because she has dementia. And it's just hard to pay
13:51
Speaker 11: for her care. And that's the only way we're going
13:53
Speaker 11: to be able to do that. And I'm going to
13:56
Speaker 11: say envy. I know I heard you talking about your parents.
14:00
Speaker 11: They're like 80 and 83.
14:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, my father's 83. My mother's 81.
14:03
Speaker 7: But remember, Gia's mom had dementia.
14:05
Speaker 2: She lived with us.
14:06
Speaker 9: That was one of the most difficult times because you
14:09
Speaker 9: need eyes on her at all times.
14:11
Speaker 7: There's times when she tried to walk out the house.
14:13
Speaker 9: There's times where she didn't make it to the bathroom
14:16
Speaker 9: in time because she forgot where the bathroom was.
14:19
Speaker 2: So you really had to have eyes on her, which
14:20
Speaker 2: was very, very difficult. I remember.
14:23
Speaker 9: We went on vacation and we took a, we took a,
14:25
Speaker 9: we went to Dubai.
14:26
Speaker 2: We took on Dubai.
14:27
Speaker 9: And I remember on the way back, we were on
14:28
Speaker 9: a plane and she got up and she started walking
14:31
Speaker 9: downstairs and everybody's like, well, where are you going?
14:32
Speaker 2: She started, she started walking. It was like, where are
14:33
Speaker 2: you going?
14:34
Speaker 7: She's like, I gotta go downstairs to work.
14:35
Speaker 9: She was like, no mama, we're on a plane. And
14:37
Speaker 9: she did not know who Gia was. She was like,
14:39
Speaker 9: who are you? She knew who I was, but she
14:41
Speaker 9: didn't know who Gia was and that crushed Gia. So
14:44
Speaker 9: dealing with dementia is a lot. You got to have
14:46
Speaker 9: eyes on it. And it's very, very, very expensive.
14:48
Speaker 11: So.
14:49
Speaker 1: It's scary.
14:50
Speaker 11: Like, we are struggling so bad with it. And so,
14:54
Speaker 11: you know, that's why I would say, like, my dad,
14:56
Speaker 11: he died suddenly. And, you know, he was old.
14:59
Speaker 18: But, you know, we just.
15:00
Speaker 11: Didn't have our families. My parents didn't have their affairs together.
15:04
Speaker 11: So it's just been really hard. And, like, my parents
15:08
Speaker 11: have been married 58 years. So once my mom died,
15:12
Speaker 11: my dementia went from, like.
15:13
Speaker 2: A 5 to 11.
15:13
Speaker 11: Wow. She is just, you know, I hate to see
15:18
Speaker 11: her like that because my mom's a Christian woman. She
15:20
Speaker 11: was a minister. And, you know, just for her to
15:22
Speaker 11: have this disease, it just breaks my heart.
15:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:25
Speaker 8: I'm so sorry.
15:26
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
15:26
Speaker 9: I don't know if you have a cash app, but,
15:28
Speaker 9: you know, you might want to put your cash app
15:29
Speaker 9: out there. And hopefully somebody can, you know, throw a
15:32
Speaker 9: little bit of in there and help you out. But
15:34
Speaker 9: I would also say that there's a bunch of vitamins
15:37
Speaker 9: and medicine that you can take now if you have
15:40
Speaker 9: dementia in your family.
15:41
Speaker 7: To stop that from happening to you.
15:44
Speaker 9: That's why Gia gives me all these pills, because she
15:45
Speaker 9: gives me all these vitamins and.
15:46
Speaker 2: All this stuff to take every day to make sure that,
15:48
Speaker 2: you know, we all right.
15:49
Speaker 8: Yeah, I never heard that. I'm so sorry.
15:52
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry for you, Mama.
15:53
Speaker 7: You want to put your cash app out there?
15:55
Speaker 11: Okay, it's Miss Kelly, I-N-C.
15:58
Speaker 2: Wait a minute. I'm sorry.
15:59
Speaker 11: That's my Instagram.
16:01
Speaker 2: All right.
16:02
Speaker 11: No, it's Miss Kelly INC.
16:04
Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
16:05
Speaker 2: Miss Kelly INC. All right, Miss Kelly. Recommend some of
16:08
Speaker 2: them vitamins that the kid got you taking.
16:09
Speaker 5: Shut up, y'all.
16:11
Speaker 11: Shut up.
16:12
Speaker 2: Stop.
16:12
Speaker 19: But is it M-I-S-S or M-S, Miss Kelly?
16:17
Speaker 11: It's M-I-S-S-K-E-L-L-I.
16:20
Speaker 2: Are you sure? Are you sure?
16:23
Speaker 11: I am positive. I'm looking at it right now.
16:25
Speaker 10: Okay.
16:26
Speaker 11: Don't forget the dollar sign in front of the M-I-S-S.
16:29
Speaker 2: No, don't you forget the dollar sign in front of
16:31
Speaker 2: the M-I-S-S. Shut up, man.
16:32
Speaker 8: All right.
16:32
Speaker 11: I just want to let you know, my mom is
16:35
Speaker 11: from Charleston, South Carolina. Hey, A4-3.
16:38
Speaker 8: So, yes, yep.
16:40
Speaker 11: That's my second home, so.
16:42
Speaker 2: That's what's up. When was the last time you've been
16:44
Speaker 2: down there?
16:45
Speaker 11: Oh, it's been a while.
16:46
Speaker 2: I'm going to be there.
16:47
Speaker 11: Because my grandparents are not living, but my aunt, she
16:50
Speaker 11: still stays down there.
16:51
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
16:51
Speaker 11: She stays with us with Ashley.

17:49
Speaker 14: So there is a friend of the Breakfast Club who
17:51
Speaker 14: is about to make some history on a Saturday night
17:54
Speaker 14: live stage.
17:54
Speaker 2: We got mad friends that be making history.
17:56
Speaker 5: I can't tell y'all who it is. We'll get into it.
17:57
Speaker 8: But it's rumored.
17:58
Speaker 5: We'll get into it. We'll talk about it. We'll see
18:00
Speaker 5: what's about to go down.
18:00
Speaker 2: All right.
18:01
Speaker 7: We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
18:02
Speaker 2: Good morning.
18:03
Speaker 8: Lauren be coming with straight facts.
18:05
Speaker 10: Tiffin!
18:05
Speaker 3: Tiffin!
18:06
Speaker 2: She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets
18:09
Speaker 2: the details.
18:09
Speaker 5: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
18:13
Speaker 2: She be having the latest on it. The latest with
18:18
Speaker 2: Lauren La Rosa.
18:18
Speaker 6: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
18:21
Speaker 6: have a little bit of everything.
18:22
Speaker 7: Well, it's the latest.
18:23
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On The Breakfast Club.
18:28
Speaker 5: Good morning, everybody. Good morning.
18:30
Speaker 2: Peace, LL Cool Bay.
18:31
Speaker 5: Hey.
18:32
Speaker 14: Okay, so this report is new. It dropped late last
18:36
Speaker 14: night via the pup Matthew Bellany. So there is a
18:39
Speaker 14: report right now that Drewski will become the first digital
18:43
Speaker 14: creator to host Saturday Night Live.
18:45
Speaker 1: Don't.
18:45
Speaker 2: Don't.
18:47
Speaker 14: The report mentions, and as we know, this will be
18:49
Speaker 14: a big milestone for Drewski, but it'll also be a
18:51
Speaker 14: big milestone for SNL because they're all over YouTube and
18:55
Speaker 14: other platforms and they have cast members and huge comedians
18:59
Speaker 14: and all these people. this is a space that obviously,
19:01
Speaker 14: you know, any brand right now will want to occupy.
19:03
Speaker 14: And if you're going to do it, Drewski is the
19:05
Speaker 14: one to do it with. So congratulations to Drewski. It
19:08
Speaker 14: makes a lot of sense for him though, right now.
19:09
Speaker 5: Like he is movies. He's all over the internet.
19:12
Speaker 14: He is like that creator who has like transcended just
19:15
Speaker 14: the platform.
19:16
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he's transcended.
19:18
Speaker 6: I feel like, you know, Drewski literally bent the industry
19:21
Speaker 6: to his will.
19:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
19:23
Speaker 6: Like I saw Ava DuVernay say yesterday that, um, Hollywood
19:27
Speaker 6: is over. Yes.
19:28
Speaker 2: And I completely understand what she means.
19:29
Speaker 6: Like, there's no sitting around waiting to get discovered, waiting
19:31
Speaker 6: for some suit to co-sign.
19:33
Speaker 2: Go out there, build it yourself, create it yourself, and
19:36
Speaker 2: they will come to you.
19:36
Speaker 8: And they will come to you.
19:37
Speaker 5: And that is exactly what is happening. But just like what.
19:40
Speaker 19: Envy said, I hope that they do give him creative
19:42
Speaker 19: control over his script. Like, whatever he's going to be saying,
19:44
Speaker 19: I hope they let him write it.
19:46
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
19:47
Speaker 9: The skits, because some of those skits were... I watched
19:50
Speaker 9: the one with Jalen Brunson, and they were cringeworthy.
19:53
Speaker 2: Like, not funny. It just felt like, ugh. Because of Jalen?
19:56
Speaker 2: I didn't watch it. I didn't see it.
19:57
Speaker 8: Because of Jalen, it just wasn't good.
19:58
Speaker 1: It was dry.
19:59
Speaker 7: The writing of the skits. One, he was a, I
20:02
Speaker 7: think he was a rapper in one of them.
20:03
Speaker 2: It just was like, ugh.
20:05
Speaker 5: Then it was a Stephen A one.
20:06
Speaker 2: It was just not creative. It was just.
20:08
Speaker 14: I think with SNL, like, there is a niche for their, like,
20:11
Speaker 14: dry sketch comedy that they do.
20:13
Speaker 5: But I do think when they have.
20:15
Speaker 2: I think it's only dry because there ain't no gravy.
20:17
Speaker 2: That's what they're saying. They're saying somebody got to make
20:19
Speaker 2: that gravy. When they have.
20:20
Speaker 14: Creators on, though, a lot of times they will allow
20:22
Speaker 14: the creators to kind of, like, write and be in
20:24
Speaker 14: the rooms and stuff like that. And I think with
20:25
Speaker 14: a Drewski, like, with this being a monumental moment for
20:28
Speaker 14: him and for them, it would only make sense.
20:30
Speaker 5: Like, that's what he does.
20:32
Speaker 2: Like, that is.
20:33
Speaker 5: It would literally only make sense to have him in.
20:34
Speaker 2: A writer's room.
20:35
Speaker 6: I think Michael Che might be joining us this week, right?
20:37
Speaker 6: Make sure you tell him you think his writing is dry.
20:40
Speaker 5: I don't think that his writing is dry.
20:42
Speaker 7: The next one was trash.
20:44
Speaker 14: SNL does have, I don't know what it's called, where
20:46
Speaker 14: it's like, the comedy is like.
20:48
Speaker 5: Don't try to explain this.
20:49
Speaker 2: Explain when you get it.
20:50
Speaker 5: It's dry. Dry wit.
20:52
Speaker 2: Don't take it back.
20:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe it's that.
20:53
Speaker 19: Maybe it's that. Sometimes it makes you think, but sometimes
20:56
Speaker 19: you never laugh.
20:57
Speaker 8: You know what I mean? And it's okay. Yeah.
21:00
Speaker 14: I don't know how you describe it, but there is
21:01
Speaker 14: a niche to their comedy and to their sketches that
21:03
Speaker 14: they do.
21:04
Speaker 9: There was like a skit with Jalen Brunson and I
21:06
Speaker 9: think he was a rapper and he was talking to
21:07
Speaker 9: his accountant about spending all the money. And he was like, yeah,
21:10
Speaker 9: who's this? This is my hat guy. He puts my
21:12
Speaker 9: hat on. And it just wasn't funny. Yeah, in certain
21:14
Speaker 9: ways that they could have made that funny, that same line,
21:17
Speaker 9: you know.
21:17
Speaker 2: But I think it's the people executing as well. Exactly.
21:20
Speaker 2: That's a big thing. You got to be able to execute.
21:22
Speaker 14: They have a flow of how their sketches are, but
21:25
Speaker 14: different people in those scenarios execute it a little bit differently.
21:28
Speaker 5: And, you know.
21:29
Speaker 9: No, but it was the cast around Jalen. It was
21:30
Speaker 9: Jalen being a rapper and there was all these other
21:32
Speaker 9: guys behind it. It just wasn't funny. It wasn't entertaining
21:34
Speaker 9: to me. The cast felt too, is what you're saying.
21:36
Speaker 5: That could be true.
21:37
Speaker 8: That could be true.
21:39
Speaker 2: On that show, I didn't enjoy it.
21:40
Speaker 8: Every sketch on SNL ain't funny.
21:43
Speaker 2: I just didn't enjoy it.
21:44
Speaker 14: Well, speaking of SNL, have y'all been seeing Shane Gillis?
21:47
Speaker 14: His monologue has been making waves.
21:49
Speaker 2: I didn't see that either. I saw the backlash, but.
21:51
Speaker 5: I didn't see it.
21:52
Speaker 3: Yeah.
21:52
Speaker 5: He hosted last Saturday.
21:54
Speaker 14: Let's take a listen to Shane Gillis' monologue that some
21:56
Speaker 14: women are now speaking on saying it's a little.
21:59
Speaker 5: Over the top. Let's take a listen.
22:00
Speaker 16: I try to go to a public gym. Going to
22:02
Speaker 16: the public gym as a fat guy, especially in New York,
22:04
Speaker 16: is a nightmare, dude. It's just the hottest gay guys
22:06
Speaker 16: you've ever seen. They're jacked and they look at me like, yeah, right.
22:11
Speaker 2: I know, dude.
22:12
Speaker 16: Also, I haven't been to the gym in so long,
22:13
Speaker 16: I didn't know women just dress like whores now.
22:17
Speaker 20: Look, I'm sorry. There's no other way to describe. Have
22:20
Speaker 20: you seen it? I've seen it. The shorts. Have you
22:22
Speaker 20: seen the shorts?
22:24
Speaker 16: Those neon, they're like the only, they're like artificial bait
22:27
Speaker 16: colored shorts. The wrinkles go like around the cheeks and
22:32
Speaker 16: all combine at the butthole.
22:37
Speaker 20: And don't look. You're not allowed to look. For real,
22:40
Speaker 20: don't look because they are filming.
22:42
Speaker 16: I'm in the background of like 10 TikToks right now.
22:47
Speaker 8: I like my little shorts like that. He described it perfectly.
22:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
22:50
Speaker 8: That's how the leggings and the shorts are.
22:52
Speaker 5: I know what shorts he's talking about.
22:53
Speaker 2: He's talking about bike shorts, right?
22:55
Speaker 5: No, I mean, they go.
22:57
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's like, it's basically how you describe it. They
22:59
Speaker 19: scrunch up like right at the crack. And they accentuate
23:03
Speaker 19: your butt. Like, they make it look like it looks
23:05
Speaker 19: like an enhancement.
23:06
Speaker 5: They're also really comfortable as well.
23:07
Speaker 2: That's how you know comedy is subjective. I didn't laugh
23:09
Speaker 2: at none of that. You chuckled. Yeah, I chuckled a lot.
23:12
Speaker 2: I chuckled because I.
23:13
Speaker 19: Because he said it was like 10 TikToks he's in
23:15
Speaker 19: the back of or whatever.
23:16
Speaker 9: Because if you just walk around New York City, you'll
23:18
Speaker 9: be the background of a bunch of TikToks.
23:20
Speaker 7: People be shooting TikToks all day long.
23:21
Speaker 14: Yeah, but see, but the upset is people say, you know,
23:24
Speaker 14: it's misogynistic.
23:26
Speaker 5: It is the fact that he's calling women whores.
23:29
Speaker 14: You know, being the background of the TikToks, like women
23:31
Speaker 14: have had creepy gym experiences. So why would you like
23:34
Speaker 14: lean into that? I saw Ego who used to be
23:37
Speaker 14: on SNL. She posted a picture in the gym and
23:40
Speaker 14: she was like, whore reporting for duty. So a lot
23:43
Speaker 14: of women just felt like it was just too much.
23:44
Speaker 14: But I mean, that's his style of comedy.
23:46
Speaker 8: Yeah, why are we playing into it?
23:48
Speaker 2: Like, why?
23:49
Speaker 7: Why would that be your caption?
23:51
Speaker 8: Don't do that. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's like, whatever.
23:53
Speaker 5: You know you ain't no whore.
23:54
Speaker 2: Like, go ahead. Work out.
23:56
Speaker 8: We like to look good and work out. That's just
23:58
Speaker 8: the way he sees it.
23:59
Speaker 9: And everybody here has been in the back of somebody's
24:01
Speaker 9: TikTok before. Kids are dancing or somebody's dancing or doing
24:03
Speaker 9: a stupid TikTok and you walk by and you trying
24:05
Speaker 9: to cover your face like it.
24:06
Speaker 2: Happens all the time.
24:07
Speaker 14: But not in the way he talking about Envy. Not
24:09
Speaker 14: in the way he talking about the creepy guy in
24:11
Speaker 14: the back. You ain't been in the back of that.
24:13
Speaker 6: How he knew all the gay guys was Jack though?
24:15
Speaker 6: How he knew them Jack guys was gay?
24:17
Speaker 2: That's the question. That's what you caught, huh? Yeah, that
24:20
Speaker 2: was your frequency. I'm just saying, why did he just
24:23
Speaker 2: assume the Jack guys was gay?
24:24
Speaker 14: I don't know but that and there was another joke
24:27
Speaker 14: he made in the monologue too but you need to
24:29
Speaker 14: really see it but it kind of like alludes to
24:31
Speaker 14: like being on a hike and running into a woman
24:33
Speaker 14: and she thinks she's about to get like abducted or
24:34
Speaker 14: like potentially sexually assaulted and that didn't go over well
24:38
Speaker 14: either but.
24:38

26:09
Speaker 12: Okay, so we start this hour.
26:11
Speaker 10: Well, Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
26:13
Speaker 10: America's largest injury law firm. But we're starting in Georgia
26:17
Speaker 10: this morning, guys. That's where a trip to Six Flags
26:20
Speaker 10: turned deadly. after a man was thrown from a roller coaster.
26:25
Speaker 1: Yes.
26:25
Speaker 12: While it was moving.
26:27
Speaker 10: So what happened Monday on the, on the Goliath roller
26:30
Speaker 10: coaster at six, six flags over Georgia.
26:32
Speaker 12: Just outside of Atlanta.
26:34
Speaker 10: No witnesses say the man, he fell out of his
26:37
Speaker 10: seat and hit a part of the ride before landing
26:41
Speaker 10: on a roof.
26:41
Speaker 12: Let's listen to some of the witnesses.
26:44
Speaker 21: A man slips out of his seat and he turns
26:47
Speaker 21: sideways and he's flipping in the air and He comes down,
26:50
Speaker 21: he slams down on our cart. What I knew was
26:53
Speaker 21: when he initially hit back down and we felt his thud.
26:57
Speaker 5: People reached out trying to grab him.
26:59
Speaker 16: We couldn't.
27:00
Speaker 20: We couldn't. There was too much force to grab him.
27:05
Speaker 20: I looked over at her and I told her, I said,
27:07
Speaker 20: something's going on. I said, it keeps clicking.
27:10
Speaker 21: Yeah, it kept clicking like it was unlocking and relocking.
27:13
Speaker 21: And they checked it multiple times, which is really unusual.
27:17
Speaker 7: So they heard that and they still allowed that roller
27:19
Speaker 7: coaster to go up?
27:20
Speaker 2: Nope.
27:20
Speaker 12: According to the witnesses, they heard clicking and unclicking.
27:23
Speaker 8: Okay.
27:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
27:25
Speaker 9: The first thing I was thinking, maybe it was the
27:26
Speaker 9: guy small and slipped out, but if it clicked and unclicked,
27:29
Speaker 9: I mean, Jesus Christ.
27:31
Speaker 8: I know.
27:32
Speaker 10: I know. The roller coaster reaches speed of 70 miles
27:35
Speaker 10: per hour. It stands about 200 feet tall. Other riders
27:39
Speaker 10: were stuck.
27:40
Speaker 12: They were left on the tracks. The park had to
27:42
Speaker 12: evacuate the guests.
27:43
Speaker 11: Police.
27:44
Speaker 12: Also reported injuries.
27:46
Speaker 10: Investigators are now trying to figure out how the man
27:49
Speaker 10: got out of that ride. Witnesses say workers had checked
27:52
Speaker 10: the safety restraints, though, before the ride started. But as
27:55
Speaker 10: we heard, they heard those clicks and those those unclicks.
27:59
Speaker 10: But now this impact is being felt at other Six Flags.
28:03
Speaker 10: The company has temporarily shut down roller coasters across the country.
28:07
Speaker 10: including the Raging Bull Ride at Six Flags Great America
28:11
Speaker 10: near Chicago. And they say that they're just taking these
28:15
Speaker 10: precautions just out of abundance of precaution just to make
28:18
Speaker 10: sure they're going to test all of their rides.
28:21
Speaker 12: And just two weeks ago, though.
28:22
Speaker 10: Six Flags and Magic Mountain in California, they closed another
28:26
Speaker 10: popular roller coaster called X2 after several lawsuits claimed riders
28:32
Speaker 10: were suffering serious brain injuries.
28:33
Speaker 6: What about the young man who fell from the roller
28:36
Speaker 6: coaster in Orlando? Yeah, listen, I don't do roller coasters.
28:40
Speaker 6: There's absolutely zero reason. For me to pay someone to
28:42
Speaker 6: scare me like that. Okay, I don't need my cortisol
28:44
Speaker 6: level spiking through the roof with no damn roller coaster.
28:47
Speaker 2: And this is where we have to take advantage of
28:49
Speaker 2: virtual reality. Okay? VR works just fine. It does.
28:53
Speaker 6: I promise you, you get the same sensation as being
28:55
Speaker 6: 200 feet in.
28:56
Speaker 2: The air with a VR. No, you definitely do.
28:58
Speaker 7: If you haven't been to Disney, some of those rides,
29:00
Speaker 7: the Avatar especially.
29:01
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Animal Kingdom?
29:03
Speaker 6: Yes.
29:03
Speaker 11: Oh, my God.
29:03
Speaker 9: But it feels just like a roller coaster. They throw
29:06
Speaker 9: the wind in your face. When you go through water,
29:08
Speaker 9: they spray water in your face. But I'm with y'all.
29:12
Speaker 2: I don't do... Shut up, man. But you can get
29:16
Speaker 2: the VR glasses, too, though.
29:17
Speaker 6: They got the VR glasses you can buy in stores,
29:19
Speaker 6: and they got them roller coaster games and all of that, too.
29:21
Speaker 2: You can get their names and say, them kids will
29:24
Speaker 2: not know.
29:24
Speaker 8: That is so scary, though, because I love roller coasters.
29:27
Speaker 2: Really, really loving down.
29:29
Speaker 8: Yeah, so stories like this scare the hell out of me.
29:30
Speaker 2: It's sad.
29:31
Speaker 9: But I'm not going to ever stop riding roller coasters.
29:33
Speaker 9: But it doesn't really happen, right? They're saying this ride
29:35
Speaker 9: opened up in 2006. It's 2026, and this is the only... death,
29:37
Speaker 9: I would say. So something happened. I mean, so if
29:44
Speaker 9: you do probabilities, it's a less probability for something like
29:47
Speaker 9: that to happen.
29:47
Speaker 7: But I'm with Charlamagne. I'm at the point right now where, nah,
29:50
Speaker 7: I'm good.
29:51
Speaker 2: I just be wondering how much maintenance is being done
29:53
Speaker 2: on these roller coasters. Right. Because they got to use
29:55
Speaker 2: them every day.
29:56
Speaker 6: And I know they shut it down sometime for maintenance,
29:58
Speaker 6: but how often do they do that?
30:00
Speaker 10: Exactly.
30:00
Speaker 2: Somebody got time for that.
30:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:02
Speaker 12: Well, Six Flags, they released a statement.
30:04
Speaker 10: They said that we are deeply saddened by the guest
30:06
Speaker 10: incident at our park today. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences
30:10
Speaker 10: with the guest's family, friends, and loved ones.
30:13
Speaker 2: Lord have mercy.
30:14
Speaker 12: Yeah.
30:15
Speaker 10: And switching gears, if you have used the cash advance
30:19
Speaker 10: app called Clio, you could have some money coming your way.
30:22
Speaker 10: So the Federal Trade Commission is refunding more.
30:25
Speaker 11: Than $ 15.
30:25
Speaker 10: 8 million to over 2 million customers. Regulators say Clio,
30:30
Speaker 10: they misled people about how much money they could borrow.
30:33
Speaker 10: They charged hidden fees and made subscriptions difficult to cancel.
30:38
Speaker 10: So if you qualify, you'll receive an email by October 26th.
30:42
Speaker 10: PayPal payments start October 27th. And here's what's important. You
30:45
Speaker 10: have 30 days to accept the PayPal payment or you
30:48
Speaker 10: will lose your refund. So if you don't have anything
30:52
Speaker 10: to pay, you won't get any money back.
30:54
Speaker 12: But if you've used this app, Could be some money
30:56
Speaker 12: coming back. You know, everybody needs something.
30:59
Speaker 10: If you've been taken advantage of by not being able
31:02
Speaker 10: to cancel, you can take advantage of that. You can
31:04
Speaker 10: also call the FTC. Just look that number up and
31:07
Speaker 10: they can give you more information. And lastly, guys, another
31:11
Speaker 10: major company is cutting thousands of jobs as it turns
31:15
Speaker 10: to artificial intelligence.
31:17
Speaker 12: So this time, Kroger.
31:18
Speaker 10: That's the country's largest grocery store chain. The company plans
31:22
Speaker 10: to cut about 3,000 corporate jobs over the next three years.
31:25
Speaker 12: That's more than a third of its workers.
31:28
Speaker 10: Kroger says it's going to use AI to handle some
31:30
Speaker 10: of the work employees do now, and cutting those jobs
31:33
Speaker 10: will help save money. They're hoping that that money will
31:37
Speaker 10: save you money on lower grocery prices by putting more
31:40
Speaker 10: money into employees, you know, saving by not having to
31:45
Speaker 10: pay employees they can lower prices and things like that.
31:47
Speaker 9: Um well you see that now even when you go
31:49
Speaker 9: to grocery store now you see the amount of people
31:51
Speaker 9: that are actually checking people in and out is probably
31:53
Speaker 9: one or two yeah then they'll have you know 15
31:56

Speaker 2: I want to talk to you first, right? Because you
34:18
Speaker 2: are you're the creator of the drop.
34:21
Speaker 6: Why was hip hop the natural place to take the
34:24
Speaker 6: snowfall universe?
34:25
Speaker 1: It felt like a flip side to the same coin.
34:28
Speaker 1: Like I'm of an age that I was there for
34:31
Speaker 1: the events of Snowfall, right? And I got to witness
34:35
Speaker 1: that in the fires of what the bomb of crack
34:39
Speaker 1: dropping in our community, Snowfall explored that. The flip side
34:43
Speaker 1: to that were the people and the geniuses that came
34:46
Speaker 1: out of them fires. as a response to it. So
34:48
Speaker 1: it seemed obvious and felt like you couldn't, it was
34:50
Speaker 1: the soundtrack to what was happening.
34:53
Speaker 6: So when y'all watch the show, what does the show
34:55
Speaker 6: understand about LA that somebody who wasn't from there probably
34:58
Speaker 6: wouldn't even notice?
35:00
Speaker 2: The love. The love is everything.
35:01
Speaker 22: I used to always tell you for years, I'm like, man,
35:04
Speaker 22: it's way more passes, it's way more people being good
35:06
Speaker 22: to each other than it's bad. Like you just see
35:09
Speaker 22: the highlights in a lot of these other films. You
35:11
Speaker 22: watch Colors and it's like you only see the highlights
35:14
Speaker 22: or the police perspective. This does a great job of,
35:17
Speaker 22: looking at how people see each other. Like it could
35:20
Speaker 22: be a crip at a house full of bloods and
35:22
Speaker 22: they give them a pass. It could be a blood
35:24
Speaker 22: who grew up in a crip neighborhood. He just hiding
35:27
Speaker 22: out from the police living in this house full of
35:29
Speaker 22: crips and everybody going to show him love. I feel
35:31
Speaker 22: like the love of how we loved each other at
35:33
Speaker 22: that time was underrated too. So this, this show does
35:36
Speaker 22: a good job of exploring that reality.
35:39
Speaker 2: What'd you think, bro?
35:39
Speaker 15: Man, both of the things they said and just highlighting
35:43
Speaker 15: what the West coast has brought to hip hop.
35:45
Speaker 2: I think is very important. Um, Just the entrepreneurialism of
35:48
Speaker 2: it all.
35:49
Speaker 15: How the guys knew to say, all right, let's take
35:52
Speaker 15: this maybe destructive way we created our finances and dump
35:55
Speaker 15: them into these geniuses in this neighborhood.
35:57
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
35:58
Speaker 15: And on some other shit. One of the main characters, Lamar,
36:02
Speaker 15: you guys would deem him like a nerd. But even
36:04
Speaker 15: he got some gangsta in him. It's like it's something
36:07
Speaker 15: about us from over there. that this show is highlighting
36:09
Speaker 15: that we've never seen on TV.
36:11
Speaker 6: You know, Peyton, you didn't have the lived experience of, like,
36:13
Speaker 6: G and Problem, right? So what did you have to
36:16
Speaker 6: learn about the 90s before you could play James, honestly?
36:19
Speaker 2: A lot of, like, research, you know what I mean?
36:22
Speaker 23: And then, like, using these resources that, you know, Malcolm, like,
36:25
Speaker 23: put in front of all of us, like, just kicking
36:27
Speaker 23: it with them, like, from the first day I met him, like,
36:30
Speaker 23: you know, they kind of took me in, like, there'd
36:32
Speaker 23: be moments on set where I, I remember, uh, like
36:35
Speaker 23: going in, in the, in the scene and a problem
36:37
Speaker 23: pulling up and be like, he'll just pop his head
36:39
Speaker 23: in the room and be like, yeah, we didn't say that.
36:41
Speaker 2: And, uh, and just pop out.
36:43
Speaker 23: So I like, I got to chill with, uh, Skip,
36:45
Speaker 23: Jim Bob, um, just kind of immersing myself in the,
36:48
Speaker 23: in the, in the culture. And I kind of just
36:49
Speaker 23: tried to, uh, like they helped me with my dialect,
36:52
Speaker 23: kind of try to stay in that, uh, for like a,
36:54
Speaker 23: an entire year. And I would just go around places
36:56
Speaker 23: in LA to see if like, you know, random people
36:58
Speaker 23: believe me.
36:59
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
37:00
Speaker 23: I go to a smoke shop and, and try to
37:02
Speaker 23: stay in character and see if the smoke shot believe me.
37:04
Speaker 6: Hold on, don't y'all call that something? What's that called
37:07
Speaker 6: when you go to a neighborhood?
37:08
Speaker 2: It's called Emmy Award winning acting.
37:10
Speaker 5: That's called acting.
37:13
Speaker 2: A true, proficient professional. He did more than that.
37:22
Speaker 15: We became real close. He actually taught me how to
37:25
Speaker 15: make beef ribs. I think that's very important as a man.
37:27
Speaker 2: Beef rib? Yes. He's one of the most amazing chefs.
37:30
Speaker 11: Texas.
37:30
Speaker 2: Eddie got him. I'm known in L.A.
37:33
Speaker 23: For my lamb chops, my ribs.
37:35
Speaker 2: He get down. So you don't feel meat in L.A.? Oh,
37:37
Speaker 2: come on, man. You gotta do that. You gotta do that.
37:40
Speaker 2: We talk about any shit. You doing that?
37:43
Speaker 15: No, but he got to see my whole family, all
37:46
Speaker 15: my homies, and you could just tell the way they
37:48
Speaker 15: would embrace him because then he would leave or walk off.
37:51
Speaker 2: They'd be like.
37:51
Speaker 6: hey yo he really from dallas yeah like yeah he
37:54
Speaker 6: really is bro got it that's interesting though because dallas
37:56
Speaker 6: has always had a connection because when you think i
37:59
Speaker 6: think a dlc.
38:00
Speaker 15: Right well the south and the west are kind of
38:02
Speaker 15: the same a lot of people from the south migrated
38:04
Speaker 15: to los angeles in the 60s i mean my grandparents
38:07
Speaker 15: especially so we all connected you know what.
38:10
Speaker 1: I'm saying and i think like when hip-hop when y'all
38:13
Speaker 1: when new york first had hip-hop right.
38:16
Speaker 2: I'm from south atlanta i'm sorry uh uh.
38:19
Speaker 1: When new york first had hip-hop they they were very
38:24
Speaker 1: very possessive of it right and because we tend to
38:27
Speaker 1: have southern affectations and a direct link to it or
38:29
Speaker 1: whatever right when hip-hop came to california like again young
38:33
Speaker 1: people don't understand they think half the people who probably
38:36
Speaker 1: listen to this think hip-hop comes from atlanta as far
38:38
Speaker 1: as like how dominant that possessiveness is. The way hip
38:42
Speaker 1: hop is in Atlanta right now, it was in California.
38:45
Speaker 1: And when it came to California, we was way more country.
38:49
Speaker 1: We was with Jerry Curls, Finger Waves, and Perm. The
38:52
Speaker 1: South and the Midwest could understand that.
38:54
Speaker 2: No, what you just said made a lot of sense.
38:56
Speaker 2: And I never looked at it from that perspective.
38:58
Speaker 6: It's just like the West Coast had a more, you
39:01
Speaker 6: could relate to them on a more national level.
39:03
Speaker 2: Like New York was more niche back then. If you
39:07
Speaker 2: want to be real, them was cooler than us.
39:09
Speaker 22: You know what I'm saying? Coming up like in the beginning.
39:11
Speaker 22: At least it felt like that. For creating, how about this?
39:13
Speaker 22: They did create hip hop. I'm saying in this era,
39:16
Speaker 22: in this window.
39:17
Speaker 1: And if you go back before then, what they was
39:20
Speaker 1: doing in the world of Hussars or whatever, it was
39:23
Speaker 1: just the hippest place on the planet.
39:24
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
39:26
Speaker 6: What happened to that cold from the West? Because I
39:28
Speaker 6: feel like you got a whole era of... people from
39:30
Speaker 6: the 90s all on podcasts and YouTube now just doing
39:34
Speaker 6: the crazy.
39:34
Speaker 2: Everyone f * * * ing asked on this.
39:37
Speaker 10: One.
39:38
Speaker 22: Look, America is doing a better job with black people.
39:42
Speaker 22: They have more opportunities. They're able to get more. Black
39:44
Speaker 22: people don't have to see. It's a bunch of OJs.
39:47
Speaker 22: A bunch of OJ Simpson. A lot of people don't
39:49
Speaker 22: even identify. You see it online.
39:51
Speaker 7: People be like, it's a difference between black folks and shit.
39:54
Speaker 22: That's because somewhere along the line, this nationalist movement that
39:58
Speaker 22: has affected black people, they feel like they have more opportunities.
40:01
Speaker 22: So they don't connect into the soul of black people.
40:04
Speaker 7: They don't connect into black consciousness, black conscience.
40:07
Speaker 2: It's about me. That's it.
40:08
Speaker 22: I see a lot of people that's like me. And
40:10
Speaker 22: that's also why hip hop is struggling. Hip hop is
40:12
Speaker 22: the movement of us. And everybody was like, well, it's
40:14
Speaker 22: just me.
40:15
Speaker 1: And I want to build on some glasses and saying,
40:17
Speaker 1: I feel like one of the worst things about crack
40:20
Speaker 1: is that The black existence in this country was a
40:24
Speaker 1: collective existence. It was us against the system from the
40:27
Speaker 1: moment them ships got here through Jim Crow. Everything that
40:31
Speaker 1: we do was about us and our fight was about us.
40:34
Speaker 1: When crack hits, the fight becomes about me against the system.
40:39
Speaker 1: It comes with a language, with a dress code, with
40:42
Speaker 1: an entire culture. It is a combination of crack, severance, severance, severance.
40:48
Speaker 1: We're severing us from the collective journey into an individual
40:53
Speaker 1: journey combined with what Glasses is saying is, don't believe us.
40:58
Speaker 1: None of y'all are 50, right?
41:00
Speaker 2: I'm two years and 50.
41:01
Speaker 11: Yeah.
41:01
Speaker 1: So what we seen in America back then doesn't seem
41:06
Speaker 1: believable now as America got more corporate and I'm going
41:10
Speaker 1: to say softer in a good way. And you combine
41:13
Speaker 1: individualism instead of collectivism with what glasses is saying, which
41:16
Speaker 1: is things are a.
41:17
Speaker 2: Little bit easier.
41:18
Speaker 1: Now that don't mean all these young ain't the toughest
41:21
Speaker 1: in the world. They can be as tough as they
41:22
Speaker 1: want to be. The circumstances aren't there in America anymore.
41:26
Speaker 1: I think the circumstances and the black identity became much
41:30
Speaker 1: more individualized, and you people find it hard to believe
41:34
Speaker 1: we would sacrifice for us.
41:35
Speaker 2: 30 years ago. Yeah. Not even that long. 30 years ago.
41:38
Speaker 22: It's like I'm a relic, bro, sometimes when I talk.
41:41
Speaker 2: I notice that.
41:41
Speaker 22: People will be like, what was happening with the little
41:44
Speaker 22: streamer dude when he was... disrespecting that sister out loud
41:47
Speaker 22: and I'm owning people just thought it was so crazy
41:50
Speaker 22: that I was willing to go to jail for that
41:52
Speaker 22: and I thought I just couldn't understand.
41:53
Speaker 7: That's required where you come from that's just.
41:55
Speaker 22: Normal especially for something like such a noble thing like
41:58
Speaker 22: it's less when you do it for your friend your
42:00
Speaker 22: homeboy that grew up who might have even had it
42:02
Speaker 22: coming but let alone for some sister you know I
42:04
Speaker 22: mean that's just on the internet.
42:06
Speaker 6: It go back to a problem said being that there's
42:07
Speaker 6: so many cameras around nobody's used to consequences.
42:10
Speaker 2: So they thought gee what you talking.
42:12
Speaker 22: About consequences what's that right Consequence create reality. So a
42:17
Speaker 22: lot of people right now feel like there's no consequence.
42:20
Speaker 22: But I come from a time where issuing out consequence
42:24
Speaker 22: or receiving consequence is cool.
42:25
Speaker 7: So even though cameras is on for me, it's good money.
42:28
Speaker 2: It's like they just don't get a show.
42:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, now you're just going.
42:31
Speaker 15: It's just going to be on camera when we whoop
42:33
Speaker 15: your ass for what you just said.
42:34
Speaker 2: I think it needs to be, though. I think so, too.
42:36
Speaker 2: I really do.
42:36
Speaker 6: I think it needs to be because that's how people
42:37
Speaker 6: will learn. That's how this generation will learn.
42:40
Speaker 2: Malcolm, you was talking about the crack era, right?
42:42
Speaker 6: And we know the crack era ruined communities, but out
42:45
Speaker 6: of those same neighborhoods came hip-hop.
42:47
Speaker 2: How connected are those two stories?
42:49
Speaker 1: I think because hip-hop was still in a stage of growth,
42:53
Speaker 1: crack is as much a part of hip-hop as even
42:56
Speaker 1: the pillars, you know what I'm saying, when it first started...
42:59
Speaker 1: And again, crack was all encompassing in a way. It
43:03
Speaker 1: wasn't no other conversation. And so what crack did. By
43:07
Speaker 1: coming to the West Coast, it took over.
43:10
Speaker 2: And dominated the culture.
43:12
Speaker 1: A lot of it, I'd say 80 to 90 percent
43:15
Speaker 1: of it at the hands of the new white record execs.
43:18
Speaker 2: I'm not on hotel like this. This is fact. Right.
43:22
Speaker 1: If you have white execs buying our music back then
43:25
Speaker 1: and this phenomenon is coming on, it is a fact
43:28
Speaker 1: you see in the Internet. controversy and negativity are an
43:31
Speaker 1: easier way to market than positivity, thoughtfulness, and excellence, right?
43:36
Speaker 1: So it was easy for the music business to manufacture gangsters.
43:40
Speaker 1: And if you can create that business, you control the business.
43:44
Speaker 1: And so when crack came along, it gave an obscenity
43:49
Speaker 1: and a pornography for them to exploit much easier. And
43:53
Speaker 1: whether or not it was an agenda beyond that or
43:56
Speaker 1: just a financial agenda.
43:58
Speaker 2: They destroyed the mother culture going for the easy.
44:01
Speaker 7: And if hip-hop is a thing from 69.
44:04
Speaker 22: All the way to 82 83 right the trajectory of
44:07
Speaker 22: hip-hop becoming like a viable thing to the corporations is
44:11
Speaker 22: at the same time crack is becoming a thing for
44:14
Speaker 22: us in the neighborhoods we talking about 83 84 so
44:17
Speaker 22: i feel like they're at the same thing crack money
44:19
Speaker 22: had to be a big part of what was financed
44:22
Speaker 22: and hip hop to even position.
44:23
Speaker 7: It to be a viable option for the corporation.
44:26
Speaker 6: How crazy did somebody sound in the 90s saying rap
44:29
Speaker 6: was going to be that powerful?
44:31
Speaker 2: And I'm not even just talking about on a positive aspect.
44:33
Speaker 2: I'm talking about even the.
44:34
Speaker 6: People like Steve Dolores Tucker and, you know, all the
44:36
Speaker 6: elders that were saying, yo, this.
44:37
Speaker 2: Is going to be. up communities. You know what I mean?
44:40
Speaker 2: We remember people that was on crack.
44:42
Speaker 22: Like that was a thing that I can remember exactly
44:44
Speaker 22: because I used to hustle. But I also remember the
44:46
Speaker 22: person that got their life together. They're living good right now.
44:49
Speaker 22: That's not one story I seen about, I haven't seen
44:52
Speaker 22: that on Hollywood.
44:53
Speaker 1: And another thing though, Charlamagne, that you said that I
44:56
Speaker 1: hope these youngsters understand is the labels really was not
45:00
Speaker 1: with us. Hip hop really was an outcast music. They
45:04
Speaker 1: was trying to shut it down because.
45:06
Speaker 2: They knew it could do something.
45:07
Speaker 1: And when we get to 2026 and it feels like
45:11
Speaker 1: expected that hip hop will always be here or always
45:15
Speaker 1: be relevant, understand it can fade into obscurity anytime.
45:18
Speaker 7: It could become jazz. It could become jazz.
45:21
Speaker 2: It is. It's inevitable. It could be jazz, right? I
45:24
Speaker 2: don't know, G.
45:25
Speaker 6: We debate about that a lot because jazz didn't have
45:28
Speaker 6: culture globally the way hip hop does.
45:30
Speaker 22: Yeah, but that doesn't change. Somebody said something really brilliant
45:33
Speaker 22: to me the other day. This is another thing that
45:36
Speaker 22: black people have created that has became the thing that
45:39
Speaker 22: everybody celebrates, but we move artistically on. We start to
45:42
Speaker 22: express ourselves in more unique ways. Jazz still exists today.
45:46
Speaker 22: It's just not what it once was. Blue still exists today.
45:49
Speaker 22: It's not just what it once was. R & B,
45:51
Speaker 22: right now, the biggest R & B star is like
45:53
Speaker 22: a Justin Bieber.
45:54
Speaker 7: Like, in which world?
45:55
Speaker 2: Adele. But then you still got Chris Brown and Usher
45:57
Speaker 2: selling out arenas all over the world. Think about it.
46:00
Speaker 2: Then you got sub-genres like Masego.
46:02
Speaker 22: But think about it. Chris Bryant and Usher have been
46:04
Speaker 22: around for 30 years.
46:05
Speaker 2: Or 20 years. Yeah. They went from race charts, right?
46:08
Speaker 22: That's when you put all black music on the race
46:10
Speaker 22: charts to the black charts to R & B. It
46:13
Speaker 22: wasn't even defined as a music. It was the name
46:16
Speaker 22: of a chart that was only black people. Now anybody
46:19
Speaker 22: is in that chart. I'm watching the labels right now
46:21
Speaker 22: go against hip-hop. They like, nah, we finna move to
46:23
Speaker 22: this country thing.
46:23
Speaker 15: I always have a funny thing with the conversation like
46:26
Speaker 15: where hip-hop is because in my mind, I think it's
46:29
Speaker 15: just gotten so big that it's just not simply a
46:31
Speaker 15: song anymore.
46:32
Speaker 7: We're all here celebrating a hip-hop show.
46:35
Speaker 2: Powers hip-hop.
46:36
Speaker 15: It's made it to FX to where they're telling the
46:39
Speaker 15: story about the beginning of West Coast rap.
46:41
Speaker 2: I think this is like it's now. The problem is right.
46:44
Speaker 22: Like, hip-hop in its inception, right, is movement, graffiti on
46:47
Speaker 22: the wall, you know, a DJ entertaining people, you know,
46:50
Speaker 22: a certain level of knowledge and things you retain about
46:52
Speaker 22: the collective consciousness, right? These are all of the things. Now,
46:56
Speaker 22: look at somebody like 50, what he's doing with power.
46:58
Speaker 2: That's hip-hop. That's hip-hop.
47:00
Speaker 22: You know, you start looking at everything, everybody that we
47:03
Speaker 22: are taking it into different outlets.
47:05
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's remarkable if we're talking about
47:08
Speaker 1: the culture, it's value, it's ours. I think one of
47:11
Speaker 1: the things that made hip-hop And this journey a little
47:13
Speaker 1: more painful for us is that we held on to
47:16
Speaker 1: it longer than we did in the other genres of music.
47:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say that for sure.
47:20
Speaker 1: And so when it started to drift away from us,
47:23
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us don't know what it
47:26
Speaker 1: was like when we controlled it. Like, I'm not saying
47:29
Speaker 1: that there wasn't any instances of an Adam 22 or
47:33
Speaker 1: an academics back in the old hip hop. It would
47:36
Speaker 1: not have been allowed, though. Before they bought out the labels,
47:40
Speaker 1: back when Russell owned Def Jam.
47:42
Speaker 2: That's not true, though. Hold on. Let me say this.
47:45
Speaker 1: I'm talking about before the corporations came in. What era
47:48
Speaker 1: would you say there was a dominant anti-hip-hop voice when.
47:54
Speaker 2: We controlled the music?
47:55
Speaker 6: The funny part is I don't know if I would
47:57
Speaker 6: call them anti-hip-hop.
47:59
Speaker 2: I just think that.
48:00
Speaker 6: There's a lot of things that have spawned from hip-hop
48:04
Speaker 6: that you may like and you may not like.
48:06
Speaker 2: But the root, the foundation of it is still hip-hop.
48:09
Speaker 2: It's anti-hip-hop. I agree. I agree with Glasses. I agree
48:12
Speaker 2: with Glasses. Who is anti-hip-hop?
48:14
Speaker 22: Every last person that will be in question is anti-hip-hop.
48:16
Speaker 22: I agree 100%. Academics, he said.
48:20
Speaker 2: We didn't name her. We didn't name her. Let's don't
48:25
Speaker 2: do the whataboutism because we'll get lost in that.
48:27
Speaker 6: But we've always had those type of people.
48:31
Speaker 7: But Wendy's whole thing is blackness, not hip-hop.
48:35
Speaker 2: No.
48:36
Speaker 5: It's all black people that wouldn't agree with that.
48:37
Speaker 2: Hold on. Wendy is not white.
48:40
Speaker 1: Wendy has to deal with black people in her family
48:44
Speaker 1: when she gets done doing something.
48:47
Speaker 2: And we know that inherently.
48:48
Speaker 5: Right.
48:49
Speaker 1: Whatever Wendy might have done when she goes home, some
48:52
Speaker 1: black people will say that was right or wrong or whatever.
48:54
Speaker 16: Right.
48:55
Speaker 6: But what Glasses said is true. Glasses said Wendy was
48:58
Speaker 6: made from hip hop. All those individuals we named were
49:01
Speaker 6: made from hip-hop.
49:02
Speaker 18: No, no.
49:02
Speaker 2: The only difference is to what you just said, Malcolm. No, no, no.
49:06
Speaker 2: People got to deal with consequences. Hold up.
49:08
Speaker 1: No, no.
49:08
Speaker 22: I think some of these people are made by the
49:10
Speaker 22: culture itself, not the art itself.
49:13
Speaker 2: Like, it's one thing if you have to talk to
49:14
Speaker 2: the artist.
49:14
Speaker 22: It's another thing, let's say, like, act, you know i
49:17
Speaker 22: mean who's covering the actual things that's inspiring the movement
49:21
Speaker 22: so i don't think he was made by hip-hop as
49:23
Speaker 22: much as he was made by the tragedy.
49:25
Speaker 6: I disagree but listen that's but that sadly art reflects
49:29
Speaker 6: life so if those guys were rapping about what was
49:32
Speaker 6: happening in the streets of chicago and act was covering
49:35
Speaker 6: it that's.
49:37
Speaker 2: Oh my God. You may not like it, but it's true.
49:40
Speaker 2: It's not true, you guys. But it's close.
49:42
Speaker 7: I got you. I got you.
49:43
Speaker 2: It's one thing if I'm talking to you about being
49:45
Speaker 2: a crip.
49:46
Speaker 22: You talking to me about being a crip is not
49:48
Speaker 22: you talking about hip hop. You talking about my song
49:52
Speaker 22: about being a crip is hip hop.
49:54
Speaker 2: He was talking about music.
49:55
Speaker 7: No, he was talking about the complete war in Chirac.
49:59
Speaker 2: There was no music.
50:00
Speaker 6: That they were having a war, not just in the streets,
50:03
Speaker 6: but also in their music.
50:05
Speaker 1: Do you believe this for real? Are you doing devil's advocate?
50:08
Speaker 1: Because it's that close.
50:09
Speaker 2: We heard the music.
50:11
Speaker 1: These niggas is talking about real murders and real beef.
50:15
Speaker 1: Academics doesn't report on that. He says, ooh, I'm going
50:18
Speaker 1: to call you the Grim Reaper. Hey, y'all might have
50:20
Speaker 1: missed this, but these two niggas over here, and he
50:23
Speaker 1: celebrates it and turns it into WWE, whether it evolved
50:26
Speaker 1: into something else. You cannot say that they were contributing money.
50:30
Speaker 1: or interested in, or a part of the culture.
50:33
Speaker 6: Can we take a step back to whether we like
50:35
Speaker 6: what Acts does or not?
50:36
Speaker 2: I totally enjoy this content.
50:38
Speaker 6: We cannot act like the artists weren't putting it in
50:41
Speaker 6: the music for him to comment on.
50:42
Speaker 2: But that's not where he's coming in. Wait a minute, Charlamagne.
50:46
Speaker 1: The children who are battling for their lives and rapping
50:50
Speaker 1: about it and dying about it have a right to
50:52
Speaker 1: rap about that. And a person who thinks that they
50:56
Speaker 1: have an opinion on this culture, like academics, has a
51:00
Speaker 1: right to report on that. You do not have a
51:02
Speaker 1: right to exploit it. especially if you haven't chipped in yet, right?
51:07
Speaker 2: It's impossible not to exploit. That's not true, Charlamagne.
51:09
Speaker 6: If you're getting on a platform and your content is
51:11
Speaker 6: being monetized, you're.
51:13
Speaker 2: Exploiting what you're talking about.
51:14
Speaker 1: At that point, you're taking away any responsibility for anybody
51:19
Speaker 1: or in any.
51:19
Speaker 2: It's just not true. So where does the responsibility start?
51:21
Speaker 2: What you're saying is factually... I just want to say this.
51:24
Speaker 1: Before I shut up. That is not true. It is
51:26
Speaker 1: not automatically exploitive. That's just not fact.
51:29
Speaker 6: So where does the responsibility start? With the artist or
51:32
Speaker 6: the person commentating on that?
51:33
Speaker 2: Hold on, but listen.
51:34
Speaker 22: The thing in that particular situation, right? they're also posting
51:38
Speaker 22: about it on their social media.
51:39
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
51:40
Speaker 2: They're dying to though. No, I'm saying. They're dealing with
51:43
Speaker 2: the responsibility.
51:44
Speaker 22: So covering somebody's social media is not necessarily hip hop.
51:48
Speaker 22: That's just news. You have to be of people to
51:51
Speaker 22: be hip hop. Culture only comes from being of people.
51:55
Speaker 22: The greatest reinforcement of what Spellman's saying is, it's a
51:57
Speaker 22: resistance to walk amongst the people because you're not hip hop.
52:01
Speaker 22: It's the reason why when he's, man, or he's talking,
52:03
Speaker 22: he's like, well, you know, when the judge said his name,
52:05
Speaker 22: I've never even been to Chicago. How the are you
52:07
Speaker 22: a millionaire from Chicago street urban culture? And you've never
52:11
Speaker 22: been there.
52:11
Speaker 1: I do foundationally disagree with, like, I think we do
52:14
Speaker 1: have a problem saying, but this or but that, and
52:18
Speaker 1: not really honoring. Like if, if I was to say you, right,
52:23
Speaker 1: the difference between you and academics is this, like watching
52:26
Speaker 1: you come up and how much you've changed. There were
52:29
Speaker 1: interviews you had. I believe that after the interview, your
52:33
Speaker 1: circle of black folk who are from hip hop.
52:36
Speaker 2: Was like, yo, Charlamagne, that was harsh.
52:39
Speaker 11: Right?
52:40
Speaker 2: That hangs out with Aiden Ross and them. There is
52:44
Speaker 2: nothing there.
52:45
Speaker 7: He's of people.
52:46
Speaker 2: He's not. It's just not. Yes, to G's point, I'm
52:48
Speaker 2: of the people. Look at what that's like. That's where
52:52
Speaker 2: you're at. You've seen that. But do you understand the difference?
52:56
Speaker 2: That is hip-hop. I understand the difference.
52:58
Speaker 5: I just think in 2026, you're going to.
53:00
Speaker 14: Have a fan of hip-hop that is controlling the narrative,
53:05
Speaker 14: and you hope that they get with somebody like a
53:07
Speaker 14: Charlamagne or Glasses who can be that person because you
53:10
Speaker 14: understand the world they live in, but you also come
53:12
Speaker 14: from this cloth of the people. That's just where the
53:14
Speaker 14: world is. I don't know who can change that.
53:17
Speaker 2: You criticize it.
53:18
Speaker 1: Part of gatekeeping is, man, when Hammer came out, and
53:22
Speaker 1: Hammer is a goat to me, right? Hammer had to
53:25
Speaker 1: be challenged immediately by hip-hop.
53:27
Speaker 2: Don't mean that they are part of it should be
53:29
Speaker 2: part of it or.
53:47
Speaker 1: Or deserve the same. If that dude went on the
53:51
Speaker 1: opposite journey of Charlamagne, proving Glass's point that if he
53:56
Speaker 1: was really of it, he would have grown just like
53:59
Speaker 1: Meek and all the other guys do.
54:01
Speaker 2: They all grow because they're from it. You know what
54:03
Speaker 2: I'm saying?
54:04
Speaker 1: And I really think we got to start delineating that.
54:07
Speaker 1: that just because people can make money and get streams
54:11
Speaker 1: and have a power in hip-hop, it don't make them
54:14
Speaker 1: the thing.
54:15
Speaker 6: I think the Hammer point is a great point. I'm
54:17
Speaker 6: going to tell you why I think the Hammer point
54:18
Speaker 6: is a great point. When Hammer first came out, hip-hop
54:21
Speaker 6: was not embracing of his music. Even though he was
54:23
Speaker 6: selling millions of records, he was the biggest thing. And
54:26
Speaker 6: it wasn't until you met him on a different level
54:28
Speaker 6: and realized, oh, he really is a.
54:30
Speaker 2: Street dude from Oakland. He'll beat your ass.
54:32
Speaker 6: That's when you started having respect for him.
54:34
Speaker 2: But why couldn't we have respect for his music in
54:36
Speaker 2: that moment as well?
54:36
Speaker 1: We're acting like they didn't embrace it. The most hip-hop
54:39
Speaker 1: s * * * ever is New York, who is
54:42
Speaker 1: still stuck up about the music, challenges Hammer. Hammer responds
54:48
Speaker 1: with sales, with touring in their cities, and hollering at
54:51
Speaker 1: these s * * *.
54:52
Speaker 2: Right? And within the timeframe of it is embraced by it. No. Yes.
55:00
Speaker 2: I remember that. No, that's not what he's saying. He's
55:02
Speaker 2: saying that people are running into him. They're like, oh,
55:05
Speaker 2: never mind.
55:06
Speaker 7: Oh, he is on that time.
55:08
Speaker 2: I agree, but my point is, why couldn't he be hip-hop?
55:11
Speaker 10: Why?
55:11
Speaker 2: Why couldn't his music be hip-hop? Why couldn't the... It's
55:13
Speaker 2: not that... Because now it's embraced. Let me say this, though.
55:17
Speaker 2: Hammer and Vanilla Ice.
55:18
Speaker 1: Hammer gets embraced, not because he's black, but because he
55:22
Speaker 1: is hip-hop. He is here to stay. He's cut from it.
55:26
Speaker 1: And I disagree that being challenged about... If you're introducing
55:30
Speaker 1: a more mainstream kind of hip-hop, the music did what
55:33
Speaker 1: it's supposed to do as an ecosystem. It attacked it
55:37
Speaker 1: to see if it was real. And it was real.
55:40
Speaker 1: And while Hammer was famous, he was embraced. It's not
55:44
Speaker 1: like this s * * * took 10 years. This
55:46
Speaker 1: s * * * took a couple years and they like, ah.
55:48
Speaker 22: It never happened for the Vanilla Ice because people couldn't
55:50
Speaker 22: see if he was of the group.
55:51
Speaker 2: That's right.
55:52
Speaker 22: The determining factor of hip hop is like our initial
55:55
Speaker 22: conversation that got me in all this s * * *.
55:57
Speaker 22: you of the people if the people scare you you
56:01
Speaker 22: are not of the people like it's one thing that
56:05
Speaker 22: was my point like i think there's a great business
56:08
Speaker 22: for fans today.
56:09
Speaker 23: The reaction and the content is more important than the
56:13
Speaker 23: actual product.
56:13
Speaker 2: Right now like that's real We talk about that a lot, though.
56:17
Speaker 5: The reaction and how fast it goes. It's not a.
56:20
Speaker 2: Problem, though. It's not a problem, right? It's not a problem.
56:23
Speaker 2: It's kind of always been like that, though. No, they
56:25
Speaker 2: haven't had enough power. They're doing a lot of revisionist history. No, no, no, no.
56:29
Speaker 15: The critics didn't have this much power.
56:31
Speaker 22: Social media has changed the dynamics because... Bro, we grew
56:34
Speaker 22: up in an era.
56:34
Speaker 6: Where we talked about five mic systems in the Source magazine.
56:38
Speaker 2: It was us. Where the editorial... Because they thought they
56:41
Speaker 2: was of the people.
56:41
Speaker 15: It wasn't... A lot of people that are controlling the
56:46
Speaker 15: narrative that are popular fans were not even born in 91.
56:50
Speaker 15: They're about to learn how the West Coast was born
56:52
Speaker 15: for the first time. These guys speak on us, particularly
56:56
Speaker 15: Glasses and myself.
56:57
Speaker 2: Like, oh, f * * * them West Coast. I
56:59
Speaker 2: don't like that s * * *.
57:00
Speaker 15: But it's the reason why this conversation is starting.
57:03
Speaker 2: Well, you got to learn the hard way. Well, no,
57:04
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that anymore.
57:04
Speaker 15: But I'm saying that to say we've given these people
57:07
Speaker 15: the power because they're rich. And that's really what the
57:10
Speaker 15: quick answer is. If those guys were not financially successful,
57:13
Speaker 15: nobody would listen to them. And that's the real, real issue.
57:17
Speaker 2: Popular fans.
57:18
Speaker 15: I'm telling you, bro, because I know a lot of
57:20
Speaker 15: pages that say.
57:21
Speaker 2: Some amazing things about hip hop. You really can't disagree
57:24
Speaker 2: because they don't have followings. Everybody that you named.
57:28
Speaker 7: They don't have followers without talking about the people.
57:30
Speaker 2: And I can't... Right.
57:32
Speaker 6: Sure, but Ack, Vlad... Adam put that in the... I
57:37
Speaker 6: don't know Adam too well, but even Adam... I know
57:39
Speaker 6: y'all got a different situation. The NAACP should be suing
57:42
Speaker 6: his ass, dude.
57:43
Speaker 2: But they've been around for.
57:44
Speaker 6: These guys haven't been around for almost 20 years.
57:46
Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing, but... You know what I'm saying? They've been...
57:48
Speaker 2: They built this audience over time. They're not just flashing
57:52
Speaker 2: the pen. I give you that. I give you that.
57:54
Speaker 22: That doesn't change. They built it off the people that they.
57:59
Speaker 2: Were never of.
58:00
Speaker 6: You keep saying we're of the people. We're not of
58:03
Speaker 6: that generation, though. So there is a generation of people.
58:06
Speaker 2: They're not of that generation of people.
58:07
Speaker 7: What do you mean? He's not of that generation of people.
58:10
Speaker 2: They're the generation of people that grew up just like Ack.
58:13
Speaker 2: They on the computer all day long. I'm not disagreeing,
58:14
Speaker 2: but I'm saying.
58:15
Speaker 22: And I think that makes them a part of gaming
58:17
Speaker 22: and streamers culture.
58:19
Speaker 2: But that's part of it. But that's not a part
58:20
Speaker 2: of hip-hop. Hip-hop is a part of... Yes, it gotta be, G. No.
58:23
Speaker 2: But how do you gatekeep consumers?
58:25
Speaker 5: You don't.
58:25
Speaker 2: Because the consumers don't... Because the consumers... We're talking about
58:28
Speaker 2: the people. You just don't acknowledge them.
58:30
Speaker 22: No, and that was my argument initially when people got
58:33
Speaker 22: mad at me about a specific artist. I'm like, bro,
58:38
Speaker 22: if you're not of the people, you cannot be hip-hop.
58:41
Speaker 22: If you can't walk down the neighborhood, you're not a
58:44
Speaker 22: true MC if you can't walk in your neighborhood. G,
58:47
Speaker 22: he can walk all through Toronto.
58:49
Speaker 2: I totally disagree. I totally disagree.
58:53
Speaker 6: We do not want to accept the fact that hip-hop
58:55
Speaker 6: has grown so much.
58:57
Speaker 2: That's not grown.
58:57
Speaker 6: All around the globe, people have embraced it in different ways.
59:01
Speaker 2: Drake does his type of hip-hop. And I can't believe
59:03
Speaker 2: I'm defending Drake. But Drake does his type of hip-hop.
59:06
Speaker 6: Just like, you know, Kendrick does his type of hip-hop.
59:10
Speaker 6: Everybody's doing it, ain't doing their type of hip-hop.
59:12
Speaker 1: I would say Vlad got a better argument than the
59:15
Speaker 1: other two. Because Vlad constantly has to answer to the
59:19
Speaker 1: culture directly.
59:20
Speaker 2: And Vlad had hands put on. It's important, dude. It's important.
59:25
Speaker 2: On a deeper level, you.
59:34
Speaker 1: Evolved bro you became somebody that is still able to
59:39
Speaker 1: navigate this space without saying he's not like us act
59:43
Speaker 1: went and with the maga adjacent version of this it's
59:46
Speaker 1: like when people say voting for donald trump is just
59:49
Speaker 1: a choice it's not if 90 of black people ain't
59:53
Speaker 1: somebody you gotta roll with.
59:54
Speaker 22: It that's how at that point they don't you gotta
59:56
Speaker 22: that's something that we.
59:58
Speaker 2: Understand Great conversation, man. Thank you, guys.
1:00:01
Speaker 6: The thing I love about The Drop is because Glasses
1:00:03
Speaker 6: keeps saying something. Hip-hop is not just of the people.
1:00:06
Speaker 6: It's of the people who America wrote off.
1:00:09
Speaker 2: Make sure y'all watch The Drop every Tuesday at 9 p.m.

1:00:53
Speaker 7: Well, it's the latest.
1:00:54
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Top Dog Law on The Breakfast Club.
1:00:57
Speaker 5: For me. Alrighty, y'all.
1:01:00
Speaker 14: So there are reports circulating right now that Diddy was
1:01:04
Speaker 14: rushed to the hospital from the federal prison that he
1:01:07
Speaker 14: is at here in Jersey, Fort Dix. Now, this went down,
1:01:11
Speaker 14: according to sources who spoke to TMZ on Saturday morning.
1:01:15
Speaker 14: They say that he was taken to wherever off the
1:01:20
Speaker 14: prison grounds for a head injury.
1:01:22
Speaker 7: Now damn hey head injury you can't be doing all.
1:01:25
Speaker 2: Them tricks in prison man but so big i don't
1:01:30
Speaker 2: know my god we don't know all.
1:01:46
Speaker 14: We don't know all of what happened yet but you
1:01:48
Speaker 14: guys remember the last report was that he was in
1:01:50
Speaker 14: solitary confinement following all those the contraband reports right and
1:01:54
Speaker 14: I a rep will not confirm to me whether he
1:01:56
Speaker 14: was or was not still in solitary confinement but they
1:01:59
Speaker 14: said the last time they spoke to him was the
1:02:01
Speaker 14: end of last week and I'm like well if he
1:02:02
Speaker 14: was in solitary how'd y'all speak to him and they
1:02:04
Speaker 14: said well he's allowed to get attorney calls so I'm
1:02:07
Speaker 14: not for sure where he was but the last time
1:02:09
Speaker 14: they spoke to him was last week and everything was
1:02:11
Speaker 14: fine but late last weekend he was pulled out of
1:02:14
Speaker 14: Fort Dix around 1 a.m. Now, apparently the injury was
1:02:17
Speaker 14: not life-threatening because the source that spoke to TMZ says
1:02:19
Speaker 14: that he was conscious and he was speaking. And then
1:02:22
Speaker 14: he was taken back to the hospital before sunrise.
1:02:24
Speaker 7: Are they saying that was with a guard or they
1:02:27
Speaker 7: don't know? All of that is unclear.
1:02:29
Speaker 8: All those questions are unclear. He's responsive and stuff like that.
1:02:32
Speaker 5: He's back at Fort Dix and he's okay.
1:02:34
Speaker 7: I hate that name, by the way.
1:02:35
Speaker 8: Is he back in a hole?
1:02:37
Speaker 2: I hear he gets a head injury at Fort Dix.
1:02:39
Speaker 2: That just sounds crazy. Or stuck in a hole. You
1:02:41
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying?
1:02:42
Speaker 6: Damn!
1:02:42
Speaker 2: Damn!
1:02:43
Speaker 5: Y'all know what else I was told? That they won't confirm?
1:02:46
Speaker 14: A little birdie told me that they are on hands
1:02:49
Speaker 14: and needles this week because.
1:02:50
Speaker 5: What the hell.
1:02:51
Speaker 2: Is hands and needles?
1:02:51
Speaker 8: Pins and needles.
1:02:53
Speaker 5: My grandma say hands and needles.
1:02:54
Speaker 2: Your grandma do not say that, dude. Not lying to
1:02:55
Speaker 2: your grandma like that.
1:02:56
Speaker 5: My grandma say hands and needles.
1:02:58
Speaker 2: Your grandma ain't never said no hands and needles. It
1:03:00
Speaker 2: might be a Delaware thing today. Don't nobody say hands
1:03:02
Speaker 2: and needles.
1:03:02
Speaker 5: She from Virginia, though. But, okay.
1:03:05
Speaker 14: But, yeah, so from what I was told, and I
1:03:07
Speaker 14: asked the team about this, but they keep saying, we
1:03:09
Speaker 14: don't know, we don't know.
1:03:10
Speaker 5: It was that his team.
1:03:12
Speaker 14: They're under the impression that potentially maybe a response to
1:03:15
Speaker 14: his appeal may come any day this week. But they
1:03:18
Speaker 14: won't confirm that to me. But that's what I was
1:03:20
Speaker 14: told from a very, very good source.
1:03:21
Speaker 6: Diddy's back and forth dicks on hands and needles waiting
1:03:25
Speaker 6: on his appeal.
1:03:26
Speaker 2: Stuck in a hole.
1:03:28
Speaker 5: Lord have mercy.
1:03:28
Speaker 14: Let's shift gears a bit.
1:03:32
Speaker 5: So a quick update. Where you going?
1:03:34
Speaker 14: A quick update in that Halle Berry case with her son.
1:03:37
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:03:37
Speaker 14: So remember her 12-year-old son, 12, 13-year-old son and her
1:03:40
Speaker 14: were having this like I don't know.
1:03:42
Speaker 2: And she put hands on him allegedly.
1:03:44
Speaker 5: And his dad was claiming that this was abuse.
1:03:46
Speaker 14: And she's saying, I would never abuse somebody because I've
1:03:48
Speaker 14: been through domestic violence.
1:03:50
Speaker 5: I would never do that.
1:03:51
Speaker 14: Now, the father of the child is alleging that the
1:03:54
Speaker 14: son wants to testify. against his mom, but we saw
1:03:57
Speaker 14: them out shopping about a week ago.
1:03:59
Speaker 5: Who's this? I'm going to tell you. So I gave
1:04:02
Speaker 5: you guys a photo.
1:04:03
Speaker 14: In the new documents that are filed, the son is
1:04:06
Speaker 14: saying that no one ever believes him when he alleges
1:04:08
Speaker 14: that him and his mom had these physical incidents, right?
1:04:12
Speaker 11: Mm-hmm.
1:04:12
Speaker 14: And that VR incident where he was playing the game,
1:04:14
Speaker 14: he said that he actually took a picture of her
1:04:17
Speaker 14: in the midst of all of the alleged physical chaos.
1:04:19
Speaker 5: Now, the picture, I gave you guys a picture.
1:04:21
Speaker 2: Who is that?
1:04:22
Speaker 5: Halle Berry.
1:04:23
Speaker 2: No, it's not.
1:04:24
Speaker 5: This is Halle Berry. The son took a picture of her.
1:04:28
Speaker 14: And he says this is his proof that they get
1:04:31
Speaker 14: into it physically.
1:04:32
Speaker 2: Allegedly.
1:04:34
Speaker 19: That's the proof? This right here is the proof that
1:04:37
Speaker 19: they get into it. Her standing there Looking all disheveled.
1:04:43
Speaker 8: And just upset.
1:04:43
Speaker 5: She looks over in these photos.
1:04:45
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
1:04:45
Speaker 7: She looks pissed off.
1:04:47
Speaker 9: And that's the type, when mom gets like this, this
1:04:50
Speaker 9: is when you shut up and leave mom alone.
1:04:53
Speaker 5: But this is, how is this proof?
1:04:54
Speaker 14: Even take a photo if she's at that point is
1:04:57
Speaker 14: crazy to me. But yeah, he says that, you know,
1:04:59
Speaker 14: he's made allegations before against his mom and that people
1:05:01
Speaker 14: don't believe him.
1:05:02
Speaker 5: So he wanted to get photographic evidence.
1:05:04
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing.
1:05:05
Speaker 6: I've never seen Halle Berry's white side pop out like this.
1:05:07
Speaker 6: This is the whitest I've ever seen Halle Berry look
1:05:10
Speaker 6: in my life.
1:05:10
Speaker 10: Uh-huh.
1:05:11
Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, honey.
1:05:12
Speaker 9: He's lucky he still has his teeth. The fact that
1:05:14
Speaker 9: mom is mad yelling at him and you pull out
1:05:15
Speaker 9: your phone to take a picture.
1:05:17
Speaker 24: Yeah.
1:05:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
1:05:18
Speaker 5: And our hands in our pockets.
1:05:20
Speaker 2: I definitely wouldn't have a phone.
1:05:21
Speaker 8: Yeah.
1:05:22
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have any teeth. He wild. Yeah, he wild.
1:05:26
Speaker 2: This is white mad though. I'm going to tell your father.
1:05:28
Speaker 2: That doesn't look like that. Not that lip. That lip
1:05:32
Speaker 2: is in the place. Not I'm going to tell your father.
1:05:36
Speaker 5: What's black mad? What she would have looked like if
1:05:37
Speaker 5: she was black mad?
1:05:38
Speaker 4: She wouldn't have had our hands in our pockets.
1:05:41
Speaker 2: It would have been some motion. Motion in the ocean.
1:05:44
Speaker 2: Did I get that one right? Motion in the ocean.
1:05:48
Speaker 2: Something might have been in her hand.
1:05:49
Speaker 5: That's right.
1:05:49
Speaker 2: Okay, it definitely wouldn't be standing there with her hands
1:05:51
Speaker 2: in her pockets posing for this picture.
1:05:52
Speaker 7: There's no way my mom would pull out a phone
1:05:56
Speaker 7: and take a picture.
1:05:57
Speaker 2: My mom is mad.
1:05:57
Speaker 19: But him testifying, oh my God.
1:06:01
Speaker 5: Now this is what his dad is claiming.
1:06:04
Speaker 14: So I'm not for sure what will happen here. And
1:06:06
Speaker 14: it's not, it ain't no call your dad because his dad,
1:06:09
Speaker 14: Holly Berry's ex-husband is saying, Olivier is saying that Holly
1:06:12
Speaker 14: Berry is spinning this. She's painting him as this uncooperative
1:06:16
Speaker 14: father who was sent in the way of his care.
1:06:18
Speaker 5: That is not true. So they're at it. But they
1:06:20
Speaker 5: have been for years. This is just, you know, a
1:06:22
Speaker 5: new incident.
1:06:23
Speaker 2: I'm staying out of these white people's business. Yeah.
1:06:25
Speaker 7: What about the black side?
1:06:27
Speaker 6: Ain't enough you gotta be over 75% for me to
1:06:29
Speaker 6: really get involved in black business tell us over 75%.
1:06:32
Speaker 19: Her baby father not black no I mean he not
1:06:35
Speaker 19: white either he's like he ain't what Hispanic no he
1:06:38
Speaker 19: definitely ain't us he's from I thought he was from.

1:07:16
Speaker 2: Tell them who you're giving the donkey to.
1:07:18
Speaker 6: Well, I think y'all would be happy to know that
1:07:20
Speaker 6: there's still some compassionate drug dealers out here on these streets.
1:07:22
Speaker 2: We'll discuss for after that. No, that's right. All right.
1:07:24
Speaker 7: We'll get to that next.
1:07:25
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The craziest people in
1:07:41
Speaker 2: America come from Nebraska.
1:07:43
Speaker 18: Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news?
1:07:51
Speaker 7: It is just going.
1:07:55
Speaker 6: To be many wacky news stories out of Florida.
1:07:58
Speaker 2: On The Breakfast Club.
1:07:59
Speaker 5: Yee-haw!
1:08:02
Speaker 2: Yes, donkey.
1:08:03
Speaker 6: Today for Tuesday, October 13th, goes to 27-year-old Isaiah Delgado
1:08:08
Speaker 6: out of Palm Beach County, Florida.
1:08:10
Speaker 10: 27.
1:08:10
Speaker 2: Lord have mercy.
1:08:11
Speaker 6: Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always say about the
1:08:14
Speaker 6: great state of Florida?
1:08:15
Speaker 2: Say it with me.
1:08:16
Speaker 6: The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and
1:08:18
Speaker 6: all of Florida, and today is no exception, okay? Now,
1:08:22
Speaker 6: we live in an era where people really don't know
1:08:25
Speaker 6: right from wrong, okay? On social media, everything looks like
1:08:28
Speaker 6: it's legal to do. Even the most illegal things.
1:08:32
Speaker 2: For example, drugs.
1:08:33
Speaker 6: Okay, now I'll be the first to tell you that
1:08:35
Speaker 6: the era I grew up in treated being a D-boy
1:08:38
Speaker 6: like it was a Fortune 500 company job. Okay, the
1:08:41
Speaker 6: way Jeezy used to rap about moving bricks had me
1:08:43
Speaker 6: thinking maybe I should invest in some cocaine. So I'm
1:08:46
Speaker 6: not going to sit here and act like this generation
1:08:49
Speaker 6: didn't learn this behavior from somebody. Okay, what behavior am
1:08:52
Speaker 6: I talking about? Well, Isaiah's product was out here killing
1:08:57
Speaker 6: people in these streets. Okay, yes, the headline I read this.
1:09:00
Speaker 6: morning said, and I quote, drug dealer who texted, hope
1:09:04
Speaker 6: you're okay, bro. The dead customer gets prison time. I
1:09:08
Speaker 6: can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to
1:09:10
Speaker 6: the Palm Beach Post for the.
1:09:11
Speaker 2: Report, please.
1:09:12
Speaker 25: Isaiah Delgado has been sentenced to 33 years in prison
1:09:15
Speaker 25: after his customer's fatal overdose. Delgado, 27, pleaded guilty to
1:09:21
Speaker 25: manslaughter and nearly two dozen drug charges. In exchange, prosecutors
1:09:25
Speaker 25: agreed to drop the murder charge they originally sought and
1:09:28
Speaker 25: recommended a penalty of 33 years in prison. Circuit Judge
1:09:32
Speaker 25: Sarah Willis sentenced him accordingly. Investigators say he sold Kalev
1:09:36
Speaker 25: Kangro cocaine containing fentanyl, then returned with another supply. Unaware
1:09:41
Speaker 25: Kangro had died, Delgado knocked on the door and later
1:09:44
Speaker 25: texted concern for him. Judge Willis also scheduled another hearing
1:09:49
Speaker 25: on October 16th so Kangro's mother, unable to attend Thursday's hearing,
1:09:53
Speaker 25: can address the court.
1:09:55
Speaker 6: He texted, I hope you're okay, bro. Now, I don't
1:09:58
Speaker 6: know much about selling drugs. I dabbled when I was young.
1:10:00
Speaker 2: I broke down a quarter spoon or two in my day, but...
1:10:03
Speaker 2: Quarter spoon!
1:10:03
Speaker 3: Ha ha ha!
1:10:05
Speaker 6: But I do know a little something about business. OK,
1:10:08
Speaker 6: and one of the most important things in business is
1:10:11
Speaker 6: customer retention. You want people to keep coming back. OK,
1:10:15
Speaker 6: you want repeat customers in any business. That's how you
1:10:19
Speaker 6: build a successful business. OK, I would think that applies
1:10:23
Speaker 6: in the drug game, too. But apparently nobody explained that
1:10:26
Speaker 6: to Isaiah Delgado. OK, Isaiah, you can't have repeat customers
1:10:31
Speaker 6: if the customers don't live long enough to repeat. OK, see,
1:10:35
Speaker 6: I'll be out here selling that cocaine mixed with that
1:10:38
Speaker 6: damn Rihanna Fenty. OK, you sniff that cocaine with that
1:10:41
Speaker 6: Fenty Beauty. Next thing you know, you sleep forever. OK,
1:10:44
Speaker 6: rest in peace. The Khalid Kangaroo sending healing energy to
1:10:47
Speaker 6: his family and loved ones. You should always have concern
1:10:50
Speaker 6: when someone dies and thank God. Isaiah was a compassionate
1:10:53
Speaker 6: drug dealer. OK, Isaiah didn't know Khalifa died. So he
1:10:56
Speaker 6: showed up at his apartment to sell him more drugs.
1:10:58
Speaker 6: You just heard the news report. OK, listen, you know,
1:11:02
Speaker 6: when I when I when I hear this story, it
1:11:04
Speaker 6: makes me understand that clearly Khalifa was a good customer.
1:11:07
Speaker 6: And that's why Isaiah should have done right by Khalifa
1:11:09
Speaker 6: and made sure he wasn't selling him tainted product. Now,
1:11:12
Speaker 6: Isaiah clearly has some type of discernment as well. He
1:11:15
Speaker 6: knocked on the door. Khalid didn't answer. That's when Isaiah
1:11:19
Speaker 6: sent Khalid a text that said, really hope you're okay, bro.
1:11:21
Speaker 2: Now, Isaiah, he wasn't okay. He's dead. All right. You are.
1:11:27
Speaker 2: A drug dealer. All right.
1:11:28
Speaker 6: Checking on your customer like you was waiting for a
1:11:31
Speaker 6: five star review. OK, we've all gotten the email or text,
1:11:34
Speaker 6: especially when you order something online and the company asks, hey,
1:11:37
Speaker 6: just following up on your recent purchase.
1:11:39
Speaker 2: Hope everything worked out. No, Isaiah, it did not. OK.
1:11:42
Speaker 6: And understand, Isaiah didn't know Khalid was dead. But that's
1:11:46
Speaker 6: what makes this story so ridiculous. You're selling drugs that
1:11:49
Speaker 6: can potentially kill people. Then acting surprised when that person
1:11:52
Speaker 6: you sold to stops answering.
1:11:54
Speaker 2: Okay?
1:11:55
Speaker 6: Imagine going to TGI Fridays, eating the food, getting food poisoning,
1:11:59
Speaker 6: and then the chef from TGI Fridays shows up at
1:12:01
Speaker 6: your house the next day asking if you want seconds.
1:12:04
Speaker 2: No, I don't want seconds. The first almost killed me.
1:12:08
Speaker 6: And this is what happens when you don't understand the
1:12:09
Speaker 6: fundamentals of business. Okay, Isaiah, you don't need an MBA
1:12:12
Speaker 6: to understand that dead customers are bad for business. How
1:12:15
Speaker 6: are you supposed to build a loyal customer base when
1:12:18
Speaker 6: your customers.
1:12:19
Speaker 2: Don't survive the product? What kind of rewards program are
1:12:22
Speaker 2: you running?
1:12:22
Speaker 6: Okay, if I tell you that if you buy five bags,
1:12:26
Speaker 6: you get to six free, then I first need you
1:12:28
Speaker 6: to get past bag of dope number one.
1:12:30
Speaker 2: Okay? Now listen, this is another part of the story.
1:12:35
Speaker 2: Khalid died.
1:12:37
Speaker 6: An undercover officer started posing as one of Khalid's friends,
1:12:40
Speaker 6: started buying cocaine from Isaiah. Isaiah, why would one of Khalid's.
1:12:46
Speaker 2: Friends be buying from you?
1:12:48
Speaker 6: Okay, if he knows you probably sold him the dope
1:12:51
Speaker 6: that killed him, you didn't think it.
1:12:53
Speaker 2: Was suspicious, right?
1:12:55
Speaker 6: That over a span of six months, six months, this
1:12:58
Speaker 6: officer posed as Khalid's friend and bought approximately $ 7, 000.
1:13:02
Speaker 2: Worth of dope from you?
1:13:03
Speaker 6: You didn't wonder not one time why he didn't die,
1:13:06
Speaker 6: knowing you just sold Khalid something that killed him? Isaiah,
1:13:10
Speaker 6: you earned every bit of that 33-year sentence you got, okay?
1:13:13
Speaker 6: You don't get points for being a compassionate drug dealer.
1:13:16
Speaker 2: You think the judge gives a damn that you texted,
1:13:20
Speaker 2: really hope you're okay, bro?
1:13:21
Speaker 11: All right.
1:13:22
Speaker 6: There is something that disturbs my spirit thinking about somebody
1:13:24
Speaker 6: making money off something that could kill you.
1:13:27
Speaker 2: Then checking on you like they're concerned about your health.
1:13:30
Speaker 11: All right.
1:13:31
Speaker 6: That's like ordering a hit on someone and then later
1:13:33
Speaker 6: on texting the person you wanted dead.
1:13:35
Speaker 17: Hey, you.
1:13:37
Speaker 2: Listen, you can't claim.
1:13:38
Speaker 6: To care about somebody's well-being while being careless about what
1:13:43
Speaker 6: you're putting in their body.
1:13:44
Speaker 2: And that's the teachable moment in this story.
1:13:46
Speaker 6: Some people will tell you they love you, tell you
1:13:50
Speaker 6: that they care about you, ask how you're doing and
1:13:53
Speaker 6: still participate in the very behavior that's destroying you.
1:13:56
Speaker 2: OK, sometimes the person asking if.
1:13:59
Speaker 6: You're OK is part of the reason you're not. Please
1:14:02
Speaker 6: give Isaiah Delgado the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's.
1:14:06
Speaker 3: Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You
1:14:14
Speaker 3: are the donkey of the day.
1:14:19
Speaker 5: Yeehaw.
1:14:23
Speaker 6: And please remember, you damn sure cannot expect a repeat
1:14:26
Speaker 6: business from somebody who isn't alive to repeat.
1:14:30
Speaker 2: He's 27. What's 27 plus 30 do? See, he'll be
1:14:34
Speaker 2: 60 years old when he come on. That's crazy.
1:14:36
Speaker 8: You know what? That's so crazy. The same thing happened.
1:14:38
Speaker 19: Jannard gave Jason some fentanyl and washed him OD. And
1:14:42
Speaker 19: they're going to tap him once he died and was like,
1:14:45
Speaker 19: you all right?
1:14:45
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
1:14:45
Speaker 19: And he was effed up about it. But you gave
1:14:47
Speaker 19: him the fentanyl. Who was Jannard and Jason?
1:14:49
Speaker 8: Chris DeLoft from Power Book 4.
1:14:51
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
1:14:52
Speaker 8: It did the same thing. But Jannard didn't go to
1:14:56
Speaker 8: jail for it.
1:14:57
Speaker 2: He should have. Yeah, he should have.
1:14:58
Speaker 6: He should have.
1:14:59
Speaker 8: But that was sad.
1:15:00
Speaker 10: Okay.
1:15:01
Speaker 2: Everything in life doesn't relate to Power Book. You know that, right?
1:15:03
Speaker 2: In Jess's world, it does. A little bit, it does.
1:15:05
Speaker 2: It's okay. A little bit. It's perfectly fine.
1:15:07
Speaker 8: All right.
1:15:07
Speaker 7: Well, thank you for that donkey today.
1:15:09
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
1:15:09
Speaker 9: Now, when we come back from the Selective Ignorance Podcast,
1:15:13
Speaker 9: we have Mandy B.
1:15:14
Speaker 7: Jason Jolly and A-King. They'll be joining us when we
1:15:17
Speaker 7: come back.
1:15:17
Speaker 2: So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
1:15:20
Speaker 7: It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
1:15:23
Speaker 9: We are The Breakfast Club. Law and the Rose is
1:15:25
Speaker 9: here as well. We got some special guests in the building.
1:15:27
Speaker 6: From the Selective Ignorance Podcast, Jason Jolly, my man A-King,
1:15:32
Speaker 6: and Mandy B.
1:15:34
Speaker 2: How y'all feeling, man? We're feeling good, feeling great.
1:15:38
Speaker 4: And you ain't even letting them know we on season
1:15:39
Speaker 4: two now on the Black Effect Network.
1:15:41
Speaker 2: Hello. How about that?
1:15:42
Speaker 5: Hello already.
1:15:43
Speaker 2: By the way, very successful podcast.
1:15:45
Speaker 3: Thank you.
1:15:45
Speaker 2: Very profitable podcast. I'm not going to lie to you.
1:15:49
Speaker 2: I ain't going to hold you.
1:15:50
Speaker 5: Black Effect doing a big one.
1:15:52
Speaker 2: That's because y'all doing y'all big ones.
1:15:54
Speaker 7: We am.
1:15:54
Speaker 2: And it. And how about that?
1:15:55
Speaker 5: This has been a really fun journey.
1:15:57
Speaker 4: So.
1:15:58
Speaker 6: I be wanting to talk to Mandy because I be
1:16:00
Speaker 6: wanting Mandy to explain to people.
1:16:02
Speaker 2: And Lauren knows this as well. Like, the podcast industry
1:16:05
Speaker 2: has changed a lot. Oh, my God.
1:16:06
Speaker 5: We've been talking about that all week.
1:16:08
Speaker 6: But I think that the best way for people to
1:16:09
Speaker 6: make money, this is my personal opinion, is through ad revenue. Hello?
1:16:12
Speaker 2: 100%. Ad revenue.
1:16:15
Speaker 4: It's hard, though, because without a partner, I get how
1:16:18
Speaker 4: other independent podcasts can't do it. I completely understand that,
1:16:23
Speaker 4: which is why Patreon is a thing.
1:16:25
Speaker 5: I know people are trying to do touring and merch,
1:16:27
Speaker 5: but I ain't going to hold y'all.
1:16:29
Speaker 4: I invested my coins into this show for a solid year.
1:16:33
Speaker 4: I've done the partnership route. I was like, I'm going
1:16:35
Speaker 4: to do this on my own. And everybody out the
1:16:38
Speaker 4: gate is getting paid because, unfortunately, I've been in this
1:16:40
Speaker 4: too long.
1:16:40
Speaker 5: People ain't working for me for free.
1:16:42
Speaker 4: They're like, intern for Mandy B?
1:16:45
Speaker 5: Oh, no, girl.
1:16:46
Speaker 2: You was just on an island. We read about you.
1:16:48
Speaker 2: You got it. We know what's going on over there.
1:16:50
Speaker 5: You got it.
1:16:50
Speaker 4: So the first year I started this pod, I brought
1:16:53
Speaker 4: in A-King and Jason Rodriguez, actually.
1:16:56
Speaker 2: My guy.
1:16:57
Speaker 5: I love Jason. Yes.
1:16:59
Speaker 4: Jason used to be up here and brought them in.
1:17:02
Speaker 4: And I was like, I know I need producers. Producers
1:17:05
Speaker 4: and a team. Like thinking you could do everything by
1:17:07
Speaker 4: yourself isn't a thing. So brought them in. And I
1:17:10
Speaker 4: think the first year probably easily out of pocket because
1:17:12
Speaker 4: podcasting now needs video and you're shooting a.
1:17:15
Speaker 5: Television show once or twice a week essentially is what
1:17:18
Speaker 5: it is. Editors, clippers, probably about 40 to 50,000 first year.
1:17:23
Speaker 5: Because I was paying them as producers.
1:17:25
Speaker 7: I was paying my engineer.
1:17:26
Speaker 2: I bought it.
1:17:30
Speaker 4: I ended up getting my own studio. Bought all the
1:17:33
Speaker 4: equipment in it. And then joined Black Effect Network and
1:17:36
Speaker 4: was able to, probably.
1:17:38
Speaker 5: After two quarters.
1:17:42
Speaker 4: Get all my money back, and then now, now I
1:17:44
Speaker 4: ain't gonna tell y'all what I made last quarter.
1:17:46
Speaker 3: But, um.
1:17:47
Speaker 2: Selective ignorance and the black. No, listen.
1:17:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:17:50
Speaker 2: The black effect for real.
1:17:53
Speaker 4: But it's been great because now Jason's come on as
1:17:57
Speaker 4: a co-host to lend his lens of journalism.
1:18:01
Speaker 5: And experience in the space. And it's just been great.
1:18:03
Speaker 2: I got adopted by the fairy pod mother.
1:18:05
Speaker 11: Hello.
1:18:05
Speaker 2: There you go.
1:18:07
Speaker 6: Two successful podcasts, of course, Decisions, Decisions, and I selected
1:18:10
Speaker 6: Big Nurse.
1:18:10
Speaker 2: And I like the fact that you got A. King
1:18:13
Speaker 2: and Ja.
1:18:13
Speaker 6: And you mentioned people like Jason Rodriguez because for years
1:18:16
Speaker 6: in this business, those are the people who have been
1:18:18
Speaker 6: behind the scenes making so many things move, but now
1:18:21
Speaker 6: they're in front of the camera as well. A.
1:18:23
Speaker 5: King is the reason, and we'll get, of course, into
1:18:25
Speaker 5: his history. A. King is the reason I'm here and
1:18:28
Speaker 5: kind of with you as well.
1:18:29
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
1:18:30
Speaker 5: Episode three.
1:18:30
Speaker 2: Combat Jack alumni. Long live Combat Jack.
1:18:33
Speaker 26: Long live Combat Jack.
1:18:35
Speaker 4: He brought us in as Horrible Decisions. He was there
1:18:37
Speaker 4: recording by our third episode. made sure we were staying
1:18:41
Speaker 4: on track and then brought us into the bubble. And
1:18:43
Speaker 4: then John I've known since the blog era.
1:18:47
Speaker 2: Way, way back.
1:18:48
Speaker 4: We've known each other for about a day now. he
1:18:50
Speaker 4: was at not no more 401k for health insurance i
1:18:53
Speaker 4: gotta go.
1:18:54
Speaker 7: To the doctor i'm like how.
1:19:01
Speaker 26: I was still getting that check, but media is tough now.
1:19:05
Speaker 26: We've been seeing for years, over a decade, of black
1:19:09
Speaker 26: media doing layoffs. And so I just felt fortunate to
1:19:12
Speaker 26: have survived one layoff season, and we had been around
1:19:15
Speaker 26: for so long that I was just happy to still
1:19:18
Speaker 26: be in that position and be able to do what
1:19:20
Speaker 26: I needed to do. But, you know, the reaper comes
1:19:22
Speaker 26: for everybody eventually.
1:19:23
Speaker 4: I will say, I love that you brought up black media.
1:19:25
Speaker 4: KevOnStage was recently talking about, like, not having to go mainstream.
1:19:31
Speaker 4: And I think being on Black Effect, making sure we
1:19:34
Speaker 4: keep our content as.
1:19:35
Speaker 5: Black as possible.
1:19:36
Speaker 4: Even with my other podcast, like, Our narrative is for
1:19:40
Speaker 4: the black woman, right? And so I just love that
1:19:42
Speaker 4: we kind of don't have to switch up in this space. Now,
1:19:44
Speaker 4: I know there's a lot of hundred million dollar deals
1:19:46
Speaker 4: for podcasting.
1:19:47
Speaker 2: Not a lot. Not a lot no more.
1:19:49
Speaker 4: But in terms of what we can do in this
1:19:51
Speaker 4: space and who we can talk to, I love that
1:19:53
Speaker 4: we kind of don't have to switch up.
1:19:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're enough. Our community is enough. Black people are enough.
1:19:57
Speaker 26: There's enough of us out there who want this content,
1:19:59
Speaker 26: who want to be entertained and informed.
1:20:02
Speaker 2: And we can do that for ourselves. We don't need
1:20:04
Speaker 2: to go pop.
1:20:05
Speaker 14: I think the mainstream has changed, too.
1:20:10
Speaker 5: There's that world. We all know the mainstream and what
1:20:13
Speaker 5: that is, and that's there.
1:20:15
Speaker 14: But I think nowadays, it kind of depends on who
1:20:18
Speaker 14: you follow, what your algorithm is, who you care about.
1:20:22
Speaker 14: You can get support with your podcast the same way
1:20:24
Speaker 14: mainstream would have been supporting something big. 10 years ago
1:20:28
Speaker 14: when we didn't have these sectors.
1:20:30
Speaker 26: Isn't that crazy, though, that the word mainstream and we
1:20:33
Speaker 26: talk about pop is synonymous with white people? Because everything
1:20:38
Speaker 26: that's big pop culture is made as black.
1:20:41
Speaker 2: So what makes them mainstream and not us mainstream? Because
1:20:44
Speaker 2: Breakfast Club is mainstream. It's very mainstream.
1:20:46
Speaker 26: And we know who y'all are talking to. So it's
1:20:49
Speaker 26: crazy that we're still using... that that language still proliferates
1:20:53
Speaker 26: the conversations around art and culture in those kind of ways,
1:20:56
Speaker 26: these silos that don't even make no sense. A.
1:20:59
Speaker 6: King, as somebody who's been around literally at the forefront
1:21:03
Speaker 6: of this podcasting boom, because, you know, we like to
1:21:06
Speaker 6: say black podcasting boom, but even when Combat Jack first started,
1:21:09
Speaker 6: God bless the day, podcasting had just started, period. Y'all
1:21:13
Speaker 6: was in the space super, super early. How have you
1:21:15
Speaker 6: seen things change? It changes like every two years.
1:21:18
Speaker 24: I think the money changes the optics and what it
1:21:21
Speaker 24: takes to do the podcasting thing. And to Manny's point earlier,
1:21:24
Speaker 24: I think a lot of people get in the game
1:21:27
Speaker 24: and the first thing they want is they want the
1:21:28
Speaker 24: breakfast cup look.
1:21:29
Speaker 2: They want the selective ignorance look.
1:21:30
Speaker 24: But if you're not willing to invest in the product,
1:21:32
Speaker 24: you're probably going to be around six months and have
1:21:35
Speaker 24: a burnout.
1:21:36
Speaker 2: So I think to answer your question, I think it
1:21:39
Speaker 2: changed from.
1:21:40
Speaker 24: The intentionality, the creative aspect as it relates to the
1:21:44
Speaker 24: return on investment There was a time where, you know,
1:21:48
Speaker 24: all the celebrities would jump into space, but then when
1:21:50
Speaker 24: they didn't see success.
1:21:51
Speaker 2: They're out. Six months, they're out. Four months, they're out.
1:21:53
Speaker 2: And they're like, I don't want to do it. It
1:21:54
Speaker 2: costs too much.
1:21:55
Speaker 24: I mean, I compared a podcast game similar to the
1:21:58
Speaker 24: music industry. Well, not the now music industry, but you
1:22:01
Speaker 24: got to be willing to make the investment. If it's
1:22:03
Speaker 24: not money, it's time. It's research, intentionality, and creativity. You
1:22:08
Speaker 24: don't have to copycat.
1:22:09
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And I think there's a
1:22:11
Speaker 2: lot of copycats out there. Everybody want to be Charlamagne.
1:22:13
Speaker 2: Everybody want to be Mandy B.
1:22:15
Speaker 4: I was going to say, though, the artists ain't singing
1:22:18
Speaker 4: at the malls anymore like they used to. They're not
1:22:21
Speaker 4: going to the high schools and performing.
1:22:24
Speaker 5: Pop-locking in the auditoriums.
1:22:26
Speaker 4: And so, yeah, kind of like in this pod space,
1:22:29
Speaker 4: maybe just start out with audio only.
1:22:31
Speaker 2: And build community. And build community.
1:22:33
Speaker 5: That's another thing.
1:22:33
Speaker 2: That's a huge thing in this space.
1:22:36
Speaker 24: Like, it's okay to do a venue with 75 people
1:22:39
Speaker 24: and just pod. You don't have to make no big
1:22:40
Speaker 24: announcement maybe to your 100 people and see who pulls up.
1:22:44
Speaker 24: And then that's your street team.
1:22:45
Speaker 4: To your 50 people. We were just talking about this.
1:22:48
Speaker 4: We're looking to do maybe live shows at the top
1:22:50
Speaker 4: of Q1. And I'm like, I'm ready to go back
1:22:52
Speaker 4: to venues with 75 people if I have to. And
1:22:56
Speaker 4: I've sold out Warner Theater, Town Hall, like all.
1:22:58
Speaker 8: Of these venues.
1:22:59
Speaker 24: How many pods have put out or advertised doing a
1:23:03
Speaker 24: live show and it's like an 800 seat venue? And
1:23:05
Speaker 24: then they got to cancel or postpone because they're not
1:23:08
Speaker 24: selling tickets.
1:23:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:23:09
Speaker 5: Y'all going to see me in a 75-seat room.
1:23:11
Speaker 2: What made you want to start another podcast, man? I mean,
1:23:15
Speaker 2: Decisions is massive.
1:23:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I did have another podcast. See, the thing is,
1:23:20
Speaker 4: that one also was a seven-figure podcast. We were signed
1:23:25
Speaker 4: on Gumball. And I miss talking culture. Sharing my life
1:23:31
Speaker 4: has become a lot. It's now on a book, New
1:23:33
Speaker 4: York Times.
1:23:34
Speaker 2: Bestseller, by the way. By the way, I was watching,
1:23:39
Speaker 2: and I was like, let me see my book in
1:23:40
Speaker 2: the back. It was almost about to be a problem.
1:23:44
Speaker 22: We were trying to look at everyone's face.
1:23:47
Speaker 2: We were like, where's the rent space?
1:23:50
Speaker 4: On Black Privilege Publishing. Yeah, we made the New York
1:23:54
Speaker 4: Times bestseller list.
1:23:55
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:23:55
Speaker 5: And talking about sex, dating, relationships.
1:23:58
Speaker 4: To me, my conversations often are about politics, music, what's
1:24:03
Speaker 4: happening within the culture, what conversations matter to me, essentially.
1:24:07
Speaker 2: Because at this point.
1:24:09
Speaker 5: Y'all just find who you love. I don't care how
1:24:11
Speaker 5: you get it.
1:24:12
Speaker 8: I promise.
1:24:13
Speaker 2: Go get married if you want.
1:24:15
Speaker 5: Go have 10 kids if you want. I don't care.
1:24:17
Speaker 4: Let me live my life. And so because these conversations
1:24:21
Speaker 4: are what I have, I love this.
1:24:23
Speaker 6: A-King, I love when you were talking about when loss
1:24:25
Speaker 6: becomes a wake-up call and how the passing of... Our guy,
1:24:29
Speaker 6: Combat Jack, how it changed your perspective on men's health
1:24:31
Speaker 6: and grief and accountability.
1:24:33
Speaker 2: You want to speak to that? So, it was unexpected,
1:24:36
Speaker 2: as you know, right? I knew something was wrong, but
1:24:38
Speaker 2: not that.
1:24:39
Speaker 24: You know what I mean? He was experiencing some symptoms
1:24:41
Speaker 24: or whatever. And then when we came back, he checked
1:24:43
Speaker 24: himself in the hospital. And he sent a picture with
1:24:46
Speaker 24: the hospital van.
1:24:47
Speaker 2: I'm like, what? He said, no, I'm good, I'm good,
1:24:49
Speaker 2: I'm good.
1:24:49
Speaker 24: And then we got a call saying that he had
1:24:51
Speaker 24: to do emergency surgery. They did a biopsy and all
1:24:53
Speaker 24: that stuff. So, everything, anything that happened prior to that
1:24:56
Speaker 24: didn't matter to me. Cause now it's serious. And especially
1:24:59
Speaker 24: when he got his diagnosis a few days after that
1:25:02
Speaker 24: and what we've done to that point, whatever we was
1:25:05
Speaker 24: talking about doing after that stopped. And then that's when
1:25:08
Speaker 24: humanity kicked in. Now with the conversation of how do
1:25:11
Speaker 24: you want to fight this? How can we, what do
1:25:14
Speaker 24: we do to support it? You know what I'm saying? And, um, and, and,
1:25:18
Speaker 24: and I don't know if there's a time limit on grief.
1:25:21
Speaker 24: I lost my mom a year ago and, um, Dallas
1:25:24
Speaker 24: Penn died the year before that. And then my nephew
1:25:27
Speaker 24: died in South Carolina the year before. So all of
1:25:29
Speaker 24: these things. And my mom always used to say, I'm
1:25:31
Speaker 24: no timekeeper. I think all of us outside, whoever's listening
1:25:35
Speaker 24: and watching, just note that you got to stay in
1:25:37
Speaker 24: the moment. Always have goals and things you want to tackle.
1:25:40
Speaker 24: But I don't know that you have a time limit
1:25:42
Speaker 24: on grief. I think it's ongoing. I think community or
1:25:45
Speaker 24: your village is important. People that you can lean on
1:25:48
Speaker 24: and have discussions and lean into your memories and kind
1:25:52
Speaker 24: of let that be the light that guides you.
1:25:53
Speaker 2: But I don't know if there's a time, you know?
1:25:55
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
1:25:57
Speaker 24: What I will say is that, and I know you're
1:25:58
Speaker 24: an advocate of mental health. Man, I mean, I've always
1:26:02
Speaker 24: been pro-therapy, but I hadn't had a therapist that was like, okay,
1:26:05
Speaker 24: maybe this is a good opportunity for me to seek that,
1:26:08
Speaker 24: you know? So, and shout out to Dr. J. Barnett, who,
1:26:12
Speaker 24: you know, just healed with Dr. J. Season 2 on
1:26:15
Speaker 24: the way.
1:26:15
Speaker 2: I produced that.
1:26:16
Speaker 24: But he's helped me, you know, just in his conversation
1:26:19
Speaker 24: with that.
1:26:20
Speaker 2: Not even just.
1:26:21
Speaker 24: it wasn't like a direct, you know, reasoning for it.
1:26:23
Speaker 24: Just conversation. Community is important.
1:26:26
Speaker 5: And we talk about community.
1:26:27
Speaker 4: He's been someone that I've gotten to lean on because
1:26:31
Speaker 4: of his loss with combat and kind of how he
1:26:34
Speaker 4: worked through that. My best friend this year was diagnosed
1:26:36
Speaker 4: with stage four breast cancer. It is breast cancer awareness month.
1:26:39
Speaker 4: So ladies go get your mammograms, but dealing with being
1:26:42
Speaker 4: someone who's had to take her to three or four by,
1:26:45
Speaker 4: you know, three of the four biopsies, her beating stage two,
1:26:48
Speaker 4: five years ago. And yeah, not being able to ring
1:26:51
Speaker 4: a bell this time around. Like it's been a conversation
1:26:53
Speaker 4: that I'm like, go get a mammogram, go get a mammogram.
1:26:56
Speaker 4: But again, with someone who's dealt with a friend that's
1:26:58
Speaker 4: went through that, he's been someone I've been able to
1:27:00
Speaker 4: lean on.
1:27:00
Speaker 8: And he's like, you good?
1:27:02
Speaker 2: You got this.
1:27:02
Speaker 5: You got this.
1:27:03
Speaker 24: Don't think about the, it's all about the now and
1:27:06
Speaker 24: the journey and her fight. You know, and that's all
1:27:08
Speaker 24: we could live in right now.
1:27:09
Speaker 2: So when I'm hearing this, where's the ignorance? What is that?
1:27:12
Speaker 2: What is selective ignorance? What is selective ignorance? Here's the thing.
1:27:18
Speaker 4: Selective ignorance, what we like to do is instead of
1:27:21
Speaker 4: just report the news.
1:27:23
Speaker 5: We like to see why the hell is everyone so upset?
1:27:27
Speaker 2: I'm so mad. Why are you so mad?
1:27:29
Speaker 4: So what we do is we take the things that
1:27:32
Speaker 4: we see everyone kind of arguing about.
1:27:35
Speaker 5: Why does this... thing?
1:27:37
Speaker 4: Why does this topic, why does this subject matter? You know,
1:27:42
Speaker 4: get so much of a reaction emotionally from people.
1:27:44
Speaker 5: Why are they fighting in the comments?
1:27:46
Speaker 4: And so what we do is we dissect that. And
1:27:49
Speaker 4: to be very fair, sometimes we know better.
1:27:51
Speaker 5: We just don't want to do better.
1:27:53
Speaker 4: And so we also have no problem leaning into, okay,
1:27:57
Speaker 4: I see what they did there.
1:28:00
Speaker 5: I know where they could be a little mad.
1:28:02
Speaker 4: Like, it's funny, there was a A substitute teacher, apparently,
1:28:07
Speaker 4: she told these two white kids, y'all kind of look
1:28:10
Speaker 4: like you could be school shooters.
1:28:12
Speaker 5: And where, yes, you shouldn't talk to children a certain way.
1:28:15
Speaker 2: But.
1:28:16
Speaker 5: There's a look.
1:28:17
Speaker 2: Maybe you... It's also Milwaukee. It's also Milwaukee.
1:28:20
Speaker 4: So it's just like, you know, sometimes we could dissect
1:28:24
Speaker 4: how something could be wrong, but also be like.
1:28:27
Speaker 5: but we see how they got there.
1:28:29
Speaker 2: I mean, the big issue with that is she shouldn't
1:28:31
Speaker 2: have been able to get into the school. No, that's
1:28:32
Speaker 2: what we got. For three sessions, for three, what do
1:28:34
Speaker 2: you call it? Three classes. So then we.
1:28:40
Speaker 4: Talked about okay this is a slippery slope here yeah
1:28:44
Speaker 4: is the principal to you know in charge of that
1:28:47
Speaker 4: but then we also want to say so here's the
1:28:49
Speaker 4: ignorance what's crazy is she got through three periods three
1:28:52
Speaker 4: had that been a man He getting 10 minutes in
1:28:55
Speaker 4: the classroom.
1:28:56
Speaker 5: What you mean a grown man is in a high
1:28:59
Speaker 5: school class? And not an all-boys school.
1:29:01
Speaker 4: It's some girls in there because the girl also said,
1:29:03
Speaker 4: y'all kind of look like some hookers and strippers up
1:29:06
Speaker 4: in here.
1:29:07
Speaker 2: Asking students, are they gay or are they virgins?
1:29:09
Speaker 26: I'm like, what's up with you?
1:29:11
Speaker 4: We went in and was like, well, what if that
1:29:13
Speaker 4: was a man?
1:29:14
Speaker 5: Double standards here. So we lean into double standards. We
1:29:16
Speaker 5: lean into.
1:29:17
Speaker 4: Sometimes the need to know more and sometimes not wanting
1:29:20
Speaker 4: to know more.
1:29:21
Speaker 5: Because why? Like, again, knowledge is power, but then when
1:29:24
Speaker 5: you know more, ugh, like with me, standards now.
1:29:27
Speaker 2: Oh, why did I find him? Why did I find him?
1:29:30
Speaker 2: It makes dating so much harder.
1:29:32
Speaker 5: Oh, it makes dating so much harder. Not standards, not morals.
1:29:34
Speaker 5: You better not to lose.
1:29:35
Speaker 2: We heard you on the marriage.
1:29:37
Speaker 7: You know.
1:29:38
Speaker 2: Hey.
1:29:39
Speaker 5: But yeah, like, we lean into it.
1:29:40
Speaker 4: We like to be funny. Like, if you could go into,
1:29:44
Speaker 4: he renamed Ice.
1:29:47
Speaker 5: And what, like.
1:29:48
Speaker 2: Oh, oh.
1:29:49
Speaker 26: It was the.
1:29:51
Speaker 2: Oh, we did Ice Cold. It was like the.
1:29:53
Speaker 12: Ice Cold.
1:29:53
Speaker 11: The.
1:29:54
Speaker 2: Man, what did I call it now?
1:29:56
Speaker 5: I don't remember.
1:29:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like the.
1:29:58
Speaker 26: International Caucasian Enforcement Agency.
1:30:02
Speaker 2: It was all about, like.
1:30:04
Speaker 26: Here are white people demanding that brown people and immigrants be,
1:30:09
Speaker 26: you know, cast out from this country. And it's like
1:30:11
Speaker 26: there's all kind of stuff that y'all should be cast
1:30:13
Speaker 26: out for of this country. Things you're doing to violate people.
1:30:16
Speaker 26: And y'all, they are the only people that should end
1:30:18
Speaker 26: up in Guantanamo Bay. A lot of a lot of
1:30:21
Speaker 26: these white folks.
1:30:21
Speaker 7: Who have violated people should end up in some of
1:30:23
Speaker 7: them same jail cells.
1:30:24
Speaker 4: So the ignorance comes where we just be like, you know,
1:30:27
Speaker 4: I get it, but no. But also, this is where
1:30:30
Speaker 4: people choose to remain.
1:30:32
Speaker 26: The selective ignorance is all around.

1:30:58
Speaker 2: So yesterday, y'all, we talked about a soldier boy in.
1:31:00
Speaker 5: That post that he put up that had everybody.
1:31:03
Speaker 2: Thinking he was running for president. Yes.
1:31:26
Speaker 14: Well, our clip went to social yesterday to the Breakfast
1:31:29
Speaker 14: Club's Instagram and Soulja Boy responded.
1:31:31
Speaker 5: So just wanted to read his response.
1:31:33
Speaker 14: He says he appreciated us for covering it. And he says,
1:31:37
Speaker 14: from changing the music industry to building business, I've always
1:31:39
Speaker 14: believed in thinking big and breaking barriers. Now it's time
1:31:42
Speaker 14: to have bigger conversations about the future of America. The
1:31:44
Speaker 14: youth deserve a voice. Entrepreneurs deserve opportunity. And the next
1:31:47
Speaker 14: generation deserves a better future. Soulja Boy, 2028. So he
1:31:51
Speaker 14: still didn't tell us if it's a presidential run or not.
1:31:53
Speaker 2: Maybe he's running for something local somewhere. I don't freaking know, man.
1:31:57
Speaker 14: I don't know, but I just wanted to acknowledge the
1:31:59
Speaker 14: fact that he appreciated it. I think he appreciated the
1:32:01
Speaker 14: way that the conversation went about if it is something
1:32:04
Speaker 14: in the community.
1:32:05
Speaker 5: Yes, do that.
1:32:06
Speaker 6: Yes, he said he wants to be a public servant.
1:32:08
Speaker 6: There is nothing that he cannot do. Everything that he listed,
1:32:11
Speaker 6: he can absolutely positively do.
1:32:13
Speaker 11: Yes.
1:32:13
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
1:32:14
Speaker 10: Yep.
1:32:14
Speaker 2: And he don't need to be in office to do it.
1:32:16
Speaker 5: No, he don't. He's got a platform already.
1:32:19
Speaker 14: Well, and other exciting news, Dolce is back. So you
1:32:23
Speaker 14: guys have been wondering where she is.
1:32:26
Speaker 2: I never felt like Dolce left.
1:32:27
Speaker 5: But that's because her music is here. But the fans know.
1:32:30
Speaker 5: I mean, besides Girl Get Up, it's been about two years.
1:32:33
Speaker 7: She just did a record with Lotto, didn't she?
1:32:35
Speaker 2: That was a single.
1:32:36
Speaker 5: But Alligator Bites Never Heal was two years ago.
1:32:40
Speaker 2: No, no, that wasn't Dolce.
1:32:41
Speaker 7: That was Dolce again.
1:32:42
Speaker 2: It wasn't Dolce.
1:32:43
Speaker 14: Alligator Bites Never Heal was 2024. Then you had Girl
1:32:46
Speaker 14: Get Up, which we've been banging forever. The girls live
1:32:49
Speaker 14: and swear by Girl Get Up Dolce, so we are excited. Yesterday,
1:32:52
Speaker 14: she dropped a freestyle called Bombs, and this is a
1:32:55
Speaker 14: part of her swamp sessions that she used to do
1:32:57
Speaker 14: before Alligator Bites Never Heal dropped.
1:33:00
Speaker 5: She would drop small freestyles. Let's take a listen to Bombs. Damn.
1:33:04
Speaker 19: I would love to hear it without the beat.
1:33:08
Speaker 2: Wow.
1:33:08
Speaker 8: I heard the beat louder than her, but I love
1:33:10
Speaker 8: when she freestyles.
1:33:11
Speaker 2: That sounds tough. I love Gochi.
1:33:13
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely.
1:33:13
Speaker 2: I feel very OutKast bombs over Baghdadi.
1:33:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:33:17
Speaker 23: Yeah.
1:33:17
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
1:33:17
Speaker 5: Y'all got to see the video. Y'all know her visuals
1:33:20
Speaker 5: always go crazy.
1:33:20
Speaker 2: She looks amazing. That sounds hard.
1:33:22
Speaker 14: Yes, it's a short visual, but it is fire. I
1:33:25
Speaker 14: saw a Doja Cat tweet yesterday. Like, if you support
1:33:27
Speaker 14: hip hop, if you support rap music, go... Go support
1:33:30
Speaker 14: Dolce and Bonds and it's like that.
1:33:32
Speaker 2: Dolce gets so damn busy.
1:33:33
Speaker 5: I love Dolce.
1:33:34
Speaker 6: I'd just be confused because they'd be like, Dolce fans
1:33:37
Speaker 6: are waiting on her debut album. Like all that music
1:33:40
Speaker 6: Dolce done put out and they're still calling this next
1:33:42
Speaker 6: project her debut album?
1:33:44
Speaker 5: Alligator by Never Heard wasn't an album.
1:33:46
Speaker 8: I thought that was an album. Was it an EP?
1:33:48
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe. I thought it was an album.
1:33:49
Speaker 8: I thought it was an album as well.
1:33:51
Speaker 6: But they're saying whatever she's about to drop is going
1:33:53
Speaker 6: to be her debut album.
1:33:55
Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited.
1:33:56
Speaker 5: I'm excited, too.
1:33:57
Speaker 14: She also she dropped like a letter on her Instagram
1:34:00
Speaker 14: story to the fans and to the people that like,
1:34:02
Speaker 14: you know, wanted to read a list. And she talks
1:34:03
Speaker 14: about how she feels more inspired now to evolve hip
1:34:07
Speaker 14: hop because she's taken some time off those within those
1:34:09
Speaker 14: two years. And she says she's relearning hip hop. She
1:34:11
Speaker 14: spent the last few years relearning hip hop as a
1:34:14
Speaker 14: student studying its language, its history, its roots. Now she
1:34:17
Speaker 14: feels inspired to stretch it through different genres, different sounds.
1:34:20
Speaker 5: In different parts and stretch herself through different parts of herself.
1:34:23
Speaker 14: She also says that a mission is brewing inside of
1:34:26
Speaker 14: her to see Black womanhood exist at the center of
1:34:28
Speaker 14: hip-hop and pop. And she talks about just, you know,
1:34:32
Speaker 14: being this icon and this star that her little self
1:34:34
Speaker 14: would have wanted to see, a dark-skinned icon and star
1:34:37
Speaker 14: that her littler self would have wanted to see.
1:34:39
Speaker 8: Love it.
1:34:40
Speaker 2: That's dope.
1:34:41
Speaker 5: Love it.
1:34:41
Speaker 2: And it was considered a mixtape.
1:34:43
Speaker 7: They considered the.
1:34:44
Speaker 2: Really?
1:34:44
Speaker 5: Alligator Bites Never Hear?
1:34:46
Speaker 8: Wasn't it nominated?
1:34:48
Speaker 5: I thought it was an album.
1:34:50
Speaker 2: Not just nominated, it won awards. Anxiety was a huge record.
1:34:52
Speaker 2: She was performing everything.
1:34:53
Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying. I'm sorry. Not just nominated one,
1:34:56
Speaker 8: but I thought it was an album.
1:34:57
Speaker 4: She won a Grammy.
1:34:58
Speaker 2: She won a Grammy for it, yeah.
1:34:59
Speaker 7: What was the difference between the album.
1:35:01
Speaker 2: And the EP? That's all I'm asking.
1:35:03
Speaker 8: What is the difference?
1:35:04
Speaker 14: I think the artist just determines that. Don't the artist
1:35:07
Speaker 14: just say, hey, this is a mixtape, this is an album?
1:35:10
Speaker 2: But when I Googled it, it says it was a mixtape,
1:35:12
Speaker 2: a 19 song mixtape.
1:35:13
Speaker 14: Whatever Dolce got coming, I am ready. I love her.

1:36:09
Speaker 5: So, we've been talking about the whole money thing.
1:36:11
Speaker 14: Remember, she was asking for all this money, but it
1:36:12
Speaker 14: ended up being $ 9 million, a little over that she
1:36:14
Speaker 14: would get.
1:36:15
Speaker 2: She be acting like dog bites never heal, okay? Stop
1:36:18
Speaker 2: acting like you got bit by an alligator.
1:36:19
Speaker 6: You're going to be fine.
1:36:21
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I know that dog bite doesn't show
1:36:23
Speaker 2: that good point, man. She got chewed up pretty bad.
1:36:25
Speaker 8: Yeah, she did.
1:36:26
Speaker 10: Wow.
1:36:26
Speaker 5: Well, now, in court documents, she is asking.
1:36:29
Speaker 2: This guy's crazy. Go ahead, continue.
1:36:30
Speaker 14: She's now in court documents asking a judge to issue
1:36:34
Speaker 14: an arrest warrant for Chris Brown.
1:36:35
Speaker 2: See what I'm saying?
1:36:36
Speaker 5: God damn.
1:36:37
Speaker 2: You ain't got your money.
1:36:39
Speaker 5: You got bitch. No, wait. She didn't get it.
1:36:42
Speaker 2: That's why.
1:36:43
Speaker 14: She's saying that Chris Brown is not making it easy
1:36:46
Speaker 14: for them to go through his financial records and see
1:36:48
Speaker 14: where the money will be coming from and then figure
1:36:50
Speaker 14: out how she's.
1:36:51
Speaker 5: Going to get paid. So she wants a judge to
1:36:52
Speaker 5: issue an arrest warrant so she can get paid.
1:36:54
Speaker 19: But this is the thing, though. Why does she need
1:36:56
Speaker 19: to figure out where the money is coming from? Don't
1:36:58
Speaker 19: you got a certain amount of time to pay it?
1:37:00
Speaker 7: As long as the money comes.
1:37:00
Speaker 5: But I think you just need to know for a fact, right? Like,
1:37:03
Speaker 5: how does that... I've never been.
1:37:04
Speaker 2: No, no. I gotta tell you where the.
1:37:06
Speaker 5: Money's coming from.
1:37:06
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you where the money's coming from. You're
1:37:08
Speaker 2: getting the money.
1:37:08
Speaker 8: That's all I need. Yeah, I'm ordered to pay. I'm
1:37:10
Speaker 8: gonna pay. And you got a certain amount of time
1:37:11
Speaker 8: to pay it. Like, lady.
1:37:13
Speaker 6: Mine is a big-ass wire. You think I just got
1:37:15
Speaker 6: $ 9 million laying.
1:37:16
Speaker 2: Around in one account?
1:37:18
Speaker 5: What was she saying?
1:37:19
Speaker 14: Because there was information that was provided when she was
1:37:22
Speaker 14: asking for it, and she's saying that it wasn't complete
1:37:24
Speaker 14: and it caused different things. It's asking or causing more
1:37:27
Speaker 14: questions about different things. And with respect to them wanting
1:37:30
Speaker 14: to figure out where this payment is going to come from,
1:37:32
Speaker 14: she wants more documents to have to be provided.
1:37:35
Speaker 5: And he's not making, getting available dates.
1:37:37
Speaker 7: He's not going to pay that $ 9 million. He'll give
1:37:39
Speaker 7: her $ 1 million a year for nine years.
1:37:41
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
1:37:41
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:37:42

1:40:09
Speaker 2: positive note? I do, man.
1:40:11
Speaker 6: The positive note is about growth. Growth isn't always about
1:40:14
Speaker 6: adding more to yourself. Sometimes it's about letting go of expectations, roles,
1:40:18
Speaker 6: and old patterns that were never truly yours so the
1:40:21
Speaker 6: person underneath can breathe more freely, okay? Maybe the journey
1:40:25
Speaker 6: isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that
1:40:28
Speaker 6: isn't really you so that you can be who you
1:40:30
Speaker 6: were meant to be in the first place.
1:40:32
