Speaker 2: Good morning. Good morning. How you feeling, Sharla?
0:29
Speaker 4: Man, I am blessed, black, and highly favored, as I
0:31
Speaker 4: just said.
0:31
Speaker 1: You know, I'm actually very excited because this weekend is
0:36
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio Music Festival. And the thing I love about
0:39
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio Music Festival is it signifies for me, symbolizes
0:45
Speaker 1: for me, the start of the holiday season.
0:49
Speaker 5: In September? Yep.
0:50
Speaker 4: That's how I rationalize it in my brain.
0:52
Speaker 1: You know what's so funny that you say that? It's September,
0:53
Speaker 1: and then, you know, I'm already plotting on my Halloween costume.
0:56
Speaker 1: So Halloween is next month. Then Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's.
0:59
Speaker 1: That's the start of the holiday season, guys.
1:02
Speaker 2: I know it's funny that you say that. The guy
1:03
Speaker 2: that puts the lights on the house called me yesterday.
1:05
Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to tell you. I'm like, bro,
1:07
Speaker 2: it's September. He was like, I'm just trying to get
1:08
Speaker 2: an early start. No, no, it's right there. It was
1:10
Speaker 2: just June, guys.
1:12
Speaker 1: That's how you got to start looking at it. I've
1:14
Speaker 1: been looking at it like that for at least the
1:15
Speaker 1: past decade.
1:16
Speaker 2: But we're still in summer.
1:17
Speaker 1: Summer is over on the 22nd. So, no, we're not
1:20
Speaker 1: still in summer. When the IR Radio Music Festival hits,
1:23
Speaker 1: it's the holiday season.
1:24
Speaker 2: You're not going to put the holiday season in September
1:26
Speaker 2: for me.
1:26
Speaker 4: It's the holiday season, bro. It's the holiday season.
1:29
Speaker 2: No, you're not going to do that to me. We
1:30
Speaker 2: just had a holiday last week. It was Labor Day.
1:32
Speaker 2: But I don't start it there.
1:34
Speaker 4: Labor Day is the end of the summer, and iHeartRadio
1:37
Speaker 4: Music Festival is the start of.
1:38
Speaker 2: The holiday season. Now, the holiday season starts October. What's up, Jess?
1:41
Speaker 2: You look like you're going to class. What class are
1:44
Speaker 2: you going to today? You look like you're going math, algebra, pre-algebra,
1:46
Speaker 2: a little pre-algebra.
1:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, a little something, a little something.
1:48
Speaker 2: A little Spanish. And you know how you know it's
1:50
Speaker 2: the start of the holiday season?
1:51
Speaker 6: I fly out.
1:52
Speaker 1: Because you see the spirit. Halloween's already popping up everywhere.
1:55
Speaker 2: That's been happening. That's my point. It's the holiday season, gang.
2:00
Speaker 2: Cut it out.
2:00
Speaker 4: It's the holiday season.
2:01
Speaker 6: Autumn.
2:02
Speaker 5: All right.
2:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still summer. It's still summer to the 22nd.
2:05
Speaker 2: So I'm going to enjoy summer to the 22nd.
2:06
Speaker 6: But it's been cool enough. It's been chilly as hell
2:08
Speaker 6: in the morning.
2:09
Speaker 7: It is.
2:09
Speaker 4: Summer's over. Once the kids go back to school, summer's over.
2:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it.
2:12
Speaker 2: Well, let's get the show cracking. Ryan Clark will be
2:14
Speaker 2: joining us this morning. You know Ryan Clark from The Pivot?
2:16
Speaker 5: Yes, man.
2:17
Speaker 4: Ryan did exactly what he was supposed to do.
2:19
Speaker 1: Ryan left ESPN, and he doubled down on The Pivot
2:22
Speaker 1: as he should have.
2:23
Speaker 4: And he'll be here to talk about all that this morning.
2:25
Speaker 2: That's right.
2:25
Speaker 7: All right.
2:25
Speaker 2: Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news.
2:27
Speaker 2: Mimi will be joining us. And get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
2:30
Speaker 2: We're starting to show it.
2:33
Speaker 4: Lauren LaRosa refuses to back away from that camera, boy.
2:35
Speaker 2: It's cool.
2:36
Speaker 6: It's the frame video. It's like her little frame.
2:39
Speaker 2: I just want to dance. Can you pull that up, man?
2:40
Speaker 2: Can you pull that song up?
2:41
Speaker 5: Dang.
2:42
Speaker 8: Why?
2:43
Speaker 2: She want to look like a $ 100 bill so bad. Yeah,
2:45
Speaker 2: that camera's all in her face, though.
2:46
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? Like she a 97-year-old grandfather.
2:49
Speaker 2: Grandfather.
2:50
Speaker 6: Trying to FaceTime.
2:51
Speaker 2: You could have said crayon bubble.
2:53
Speaker 7: No, no, no.
2:53
Speaker 4: It'd be the dads that'd be doing that to work.
2:55
Speaker 7: Yes.
2:55
Speaker 2: All right. You got it up? You pulled it up?
2:57
Speaker 2: You found it? One second. You got it?
3:00
Speaker 6: That's how Snoop be taking his selfies. That's how he
3:03
Speaker 6: be just like that little.
3:04
Speaker 2: Oh, look at him. What is that? Oh, now she
3:07
Speaker 2: got to wipe the camera off. She got to wipe
3:08
Speaker 2: the camera off.
3:09
Speaker 6: They be doing that.
3:09
Speaker 3: All right.
3:10
Speaker 4: It's the Breakfast Club of the morning. That's about to
3:12
Speaker 4: flash the camera.
3:12
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
3:15
Speaker 2: Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
3:17
Speaker 2: in some front page news. All right. Now, quick football. Tonight,
3:22
Speaker 2: the Lions take on the Buffalo Bills at 815 on
3:25
Speaker 2: Prime Video. What's up, Mimi?
3:28
Speaker 9: Good morning, Envy, Jess, Charlamagne. How y'all doing this morning?
3:30
Speaker 4: Peace, Mimi Brown.
3:32
Speaker 9: Good morning.
3:33
Speaker 10: So Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
3:35
Speaker 10: America's largest law firm.
3:38
Speaker 9: And now to Washington, D.C.
3:40
Speaker 10: Where House lawmakers, they just got back from summer break,
3:43
Speaker 10: and now they are leaving again. So only after seven
3:47
Speaker 10: legislative days, House Speaker Mike Johnson, he is sending lawmakers home,
3:51
Speaker 10: and they are not scheduled to return until after midterm elections.
3:55
Speaker 10: So the House was supposed to be voting today, but Johnson,
3:58
Speaker 10: he canceled those votes.
3:59
Speaker 9: And the timing is.
4:00
Speaker 10: Getting some attention because Republican Congressman Thomas Massey, he was
4:05
Speaker 10: trying to force a vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete
4:08
Speaker 10: Hegseth over the.
4:09
Speaker 9: War with Iran.
4:11
Speaker 10: Now, lawmakers, they say that's they believe that's exactly why
4:15
Speaker 10: Johnson shut down everything early and that he did not
4:19
Speaker 10: want to take that vote.
4:20
Speaker 9: But Johnson says that is simply not true. Let's listen.
4:24
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
4:25
Speaker 11: It's a publicity stunt by someone who wants attention. It
4:27
Speaker 11: will immediately be tabled, of course. But we probably won't
4:31
Speaker 11: do that today. We'll probably do it when we come back.
4:33
Speaker 11: But it's a stunt. Secretary Hexeth has done an extraordinary job.
4:37
Speaker 2: The Department of War, we're.
4:38
Speaker 11: In the middle of international conflicts right now, and we
4:41
Speaker 11: should not be playing games with national security. And I
4:43
Speaker 11: think that's how the members see this.
4:48
Speaker 10: Well, Hexeth wasn't the only issue that lawmakers say should
4:53
Speaker 10: be keeping them in Washington. Here's California Congressman Ro Khanna.
4:59
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson just adjourned Congress.
5:01
Speaker 12: He's literally giving us the rest of September and all
5:04
Speaker 12: of October as a vacation. Why is Johnson acting this way? First,
5:09
Speaker 12: he doesn't want to vote on Massey and Mai, Epstein 2.0,
5:13
Speaker 12: that would give state attorneys the ability to prosecute the
5:16
Speaker 12: Epstein class. Second, he doesn't want to vote on Pete
5:20
Speaker 12: Hegsatt's impeachment because he knows it will pass. And third
5:23
Speaker 12: and most concerning, he doesn't want to vote on AI
5:27
Speaker 12: regulation because the tech billionaires are telling him not to.
5:30
Speaker 1: Those are all issues that would impact voters' decisions, too.
5:36
Speaker 4: I mean, even though I think a lot of voters
5:37
Speaker 4: already have their minds made up, but still.
5:40
Speaker 9: Exactly, exactly.
5:43
Speaker 10: So more than 100 House Democrats, they asked Johnson to
5:45
Speaker 10: keep lawmakers in Washington until Congress moved forward, especially with
5:49
Speaker 10: those stronger A.I.
5:51
Speaker 9: Safeguards. But Johnson instead, he did send everyone home.
5:54
Speaker 10: And so now they will not be back to, I believe,
5:57
Speaker 10: November 9th, which is, of course, after the midterms. And again,
6:01
Speaker 10: if you remember, they just got there because they've been
6:03
Speaker 10: on summer break.
6:04
Speaker 9: This whole time.
6:05
Speaker 10: And so about seven days of business and now two
6:08
Speaker 10: more months or a month and a half off again.
6:10
Speaker 5: So.
6:13
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:14
Speaker 10: And if you're carrying credit card debt, shopping for a
6:16
Speaker 10: car or trying to buy a house, it's about to
6:18
Speaker 10: cost you more to borrow money. The Federal Reserve, they
6:21
Speaker 10: just raised interest rates yesterday for the first time in
6:24
Speaker 10: about three years by a quarter point. Now, bringing that
6:27
Speaker 10: rate to about four percent. So that means more interest
6:31
Speaker 10: on your credit card debt, more expensive for a car
6:33
Speaker 10: loan and potentially higher rents.
6:36
Speaker 9: Payment on your mortgage if you're trying to buy a home.
6:38
Speaker 10: Now, President Trump, he is blaming the Fed board, not
6:42
Speaker 10: his newly appointed Fed chair.
6:44
Speaker 9: Let's listen to that.
6:46
Speaker 5: Interest rates are too high.
6:47
Speaker 13: They're not appropriate.
6:49
Speaker 5: And I told I talked to Kevin.
6:51
Speaker 14: And I said, you might as well vote with the
6:52
Speaker 14: board because it's not going to matter. The board is
6:55
Speaker 14: very hostile. They're very political. They're doing the wrong thing.
6:59
Speaker 14: They're a bunch of politicians or people put on by politicians.
7:02
Speaker 2: And it's a shame.
7:04
Speaker 14: They're raising the rates to make Trump do as bad
7:07
Speaker 14: as they can possibly do. The problem they have is
7:10
Speaker 14: that we have the greatest economy in history.
7:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really don't understand it. Usually they raise those
7:16
Speaker 2: interest rates to slow consumer spending down, but If credit
7:19
Speaker 2: card rates are going to be higher, if car rates
7:21
Speaker 2: or loans are going to be higher, mortgage rates are
7:23
Speaker 2: going to be higher, and people already can't afford the
7:25
Speaker 2: things that they have now. I mean, I don't understand
7:29
Speaker 2: what's the purpose of it, honestly.
7:30
Speaker 1: And also, what's important to note here, that's the Fed
7:34
Speaker 1: chair that Donald Trump implemented because he was upset that
7:38
Speaker 1: the other one.
7:39
Speaker 4: Didn't want to lower the Fed rate.
7:41
Speaker 9: Yeah, that Jerome Powell.
7:44
Speaker 10: Yeah, he didn't want to do so. And so this
7:47
Speaker 10: newly appointed... Fed chair, he is in essence doing the
7:51
Speaker 10: same thing. But Donald Trump, he did take to True
7:54
Speaker 10: Social and he posted, in addition to what you just heard,
7:58
Speaker 10: that it should be 1% or lower because of the
8:00
Speaker 10: strength of the U.S.
8:01
Speaker 9: Economy.
8:02
Speaker 10: And he put in all caps that he is demanding
8:05
Speaker 10: that the Feds lower the interest rates fast. So, you know,
8:11
Speaker 10: according to the Fed board, we're going to be here
8:13
Speaker 10: for a while while they try and get interest rates down.
8:17
Speaker 9: They said leveled. So here we are.
8:20
Speaker 2: All right.
8:20
Speaker 9: And that hour was sponsored by Morgan and Morgan. Know
8:23
Speaker 9: your worth.
8:24
Speaker 10: America's largest law firm. Visit for the people dot com.
8:28
Speaker 10: And coming up at seven, you guys, there's a family
8:30
Speaker 10: in Texas that is suing the state that they say.
8:34
Speaker 9: Hurt their loved one while they were asking for help.
8:37
Speaker 9: We're going to explain the details.
8:39
Speaker 10: It's a it's a case that drawing a lot of
8:41
Speaker 10: national attention this morning.
8:43
Speaker 2: All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. Phone

9:35
Speaker 7: It is going to be a long season for everybody.
9:37
Speaker 1: I hear y'all flirting with each other, though, because you
9:38
Speaker 1: call up here and talk about, why are you bullying me?
9:40
Speaker 1: And then it'd be like, yo, yo, yo, I was
9:41
Speaker 1: just talking about you getting pounded out.
9:43
Speaker 7: First of all, I didn't sound like that.
9:45
Speaker 1: That's exactly how you sound.
9:49
Speaker 7: I'm called to talk about Dookie Deborah today.
9:52
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I've seen that.
9:53
Speaker 7: Making a diary of Darlene.
9:54
Speaker 2: That was great.
9:55
Speaker 7: I mean, I've seen that white woman. that was doodooing
9:58
Speaker 7: herself at the little athlete convention.
10:01
Speaker 2: Did y'all see that? I didn't see it. That was crazy.
10:04
Speaker 1: The crazy part is, every time I saw that headline,
10:06
Speaker 1: I scrolled past it. But what's even crazier is when
10:08
Speaker 1: you're talking to friends on the phone, they be like,
10:10
Speaker 1: did you see that girl who dookied on herself, blah, blah, blah?
10:13
Speaker 2: Let me send that to you. Why would I want
10:14
Speaker 2: to see that? Don't send me that. No, it's a
10:16
Speaker 2: good story. It's a really good story.
10:18
Speaker 6: I bet it was.
10:19
Speaker 2: So she was competing. And she competed so hard she
10:23
Speaker 2: diarrhea on herself. But then she won because now she's
10:26
Speaker 2: lifting weight. So now after she has to do it
10:29
Speaker 2: all on herself and on the bench to lift weights,
10:32
Speaker 2: you got to come behind her. So the people that
10:35
Speaker 2: she was competing against were throwing up. It's like, I'm
10:38
Speaker 2: not sitting on this bench. I'm not coming. I'm not
10:40
Speaker 2: going after her after she got dookie and everything on herself.
10:42
Speaker 2: So she won. So people are mad. There's no way
10:44
Speaker 2: she should have won. She should have been disqualified.
10:47
Speaker 5: Yeah.
10:47
Speaker 2: There's no way.
10:48
Speaker 7: She should have won. She should have been disqualified because
10:51
Speaker 7: she's dirty.
10:52
Speaker 15: And that's how you.
10:53
Speaker 16: Think about it.
10:53
Speaker 2: No, yo. You know you giving everything you got.
10:56
Speaker 7: She had to wipe herself off, Jess. That was disgusting.
10:59
Speaker 7: When was he eight? I've had to use that. So
11:02
Speaker 7: don't get me wrong, because I hate using the bathroom
11:04
Speaker 7: in public. But I was in DR one time. The
11:07
Speaker 7: last time I went to DR, I had got food poisoning.
11:10
Speaker 2: So I just couldn't hold it in.
11:12
Speaker 7: And I was at the dirtiest little side of the
11:15
Speaker 7: road bathroom. And I had to use the bathroom. It
11:20
Speaker 7: was the most disgusting place.
11:22
Speaker 2: I ever had to use the bathroom in.
11:23
Speaker 1: Trav, I bet you watching that woman reminded you the
11:26
Speaker 1: first time you broke a bottom, right?
11:28
Speaker 5: Wow.
11:28
Speaker 4: When you broke a bottom.
11:29
Speaker 5: No.
11:29
Speaker 2: No, I ain't never had no Duke's bottle. Yo.
11:33
Speaker 15: That's crazy.
11:35
Speaker 6: When you to the bottom, why don't we?
11:38
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say, yo. Y'all are disgusting. Oh,

Speaker 5: Right.
11:45
Speaker 6: Hello, who's this?

Speaker 5: What up, though? What up, though? This is Lamar from
11:49
Speaker 5: Detroit again from yesterday.
11:50
Speaker 4: Lamar, what's happening, brother?
11:51
Speaker 2: Lamar, we're not doing this again.
11:53

12:04
Speaker 13: expressions when I watched the live viewing on Netflix last night.
12:08
Speaker 2: Maybe forgetting to have a camera.
12:10
Speaker 5: Exactly, exactly.

Speaker 7: Okay.
17:23
Speaker 2: Now, Patty, I'll be honest with you. You're probably better
17:26
Speaker 2: off mailing it up here because if you try to
17:28
Speaker 2: give Jess something for Mimi, Lauren, and myself, it's going to.
17:32
Speaker 7: Be a lot to carry.
17:33
Speaker 8: Oh, no.
17:33
Speaker 16: I'm just going to give it to her for her.
17:34
Speaker 16: I'm sending their stuff to there. I already have everything
17:37
Speaker 16: boxed up for y'all.
17:38
Speaker 10: You too.
17:38
Speaker 16: I got all the stuff and everything's boxed up for y'all,
17:41
Speaker 16: but I wanted to see her because she coming to
17:43
Speaker 16: Elaine City.
17:44
Speaker 4: I don't like when y'all do that to Jessie.
17:46
Speaker 1: Y'all think just because she with Chris and he Mexican
17:48
Speaker 1: that he can carry a whole bunch of stuff.
17:49
Speaker 2: That is a lie. She never said none of my stuff.
17:52
Speaker 16: Not too much.
17:53
Speaker 6: Not too much.
17:54
Speaker 7: Don't do that.
17:55
Speaker 1: I see people try to overwhelm you with stuff all
17:57
Speaker 1: the time.
17:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, me.
17:58
Speaker 18: My husband is never around there to pick up all
18:01
Speaker 18: the stuff and carry all the stuff.
18:02
Speaker 2: But they just hear it. They be like, oh, she
18:03

18:36
Speaker 20: and doing some interviews now. We always say we don't
18:38
Speaker 20: really hear from him, but we're hearing from him. He
18:42
Speaker 20: started a lot of conversation about the NFL again, about Jay-Z.
18:46
Speaker 6: We're going to talk about it. All right.
18:48
Speaker 2: We'll get into all that when we come back, so
18:50
Speaker 2: don't move us to Breakfast Club.
18:51
Speaker 7: Good morning.
18:51
Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
18:55
Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest
18:57
Speaker 2: with Lauren. What you want to know.
19:00
Speaker 15: The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
19:01
Speaker 1: Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
19:04
Speaker 1: the black radio.
19:05
Speaker 2: That source is trusted. Did you hear that exclusive?
19:07
Speaker 15: Lauren.
19:08
Speaker 20: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
19:10
Speaker 20: and everything.
19:11
Speaker 2: She be having the latest on things.
19:13
Speaker 6: You ask the questions that need to be answered.
19:15
Speaker 2: On The Breakfast Club.
19:16
Speaker 9: Little brown girls look at you and go, I want
19:18
Speaker 9: to be like you.
19:19
Speaker 2: LL Cool Bay. Talk to me.
19:22
Speaker 8: Hey, guys.
19:22
Speaker 19: Good morning.
19:23
Speaker 2: Hey, LL Cool Bay. Top Dog Lo.
19:25
Speaker 6: Hey, girl.
19:27
Speaker 12: Hey.
19:27
Speaker 19: Okay.
19:28
Speaker 20: So yesterday we talked a bit about Macklemore and him
19:32
Speaker 20: being removed from Ed Sheeran's loop tour after he used
19:37
Speaker 20: his set in Jersey at MetLife Stadium to address and
19:41
Speaker 20: to make a statement for Palestine. Now, following this, there
19:46
Speaker 20: was a lot of conversation, a lot of back and forth.
19:49
Speaker 20: Macklemore announced yesterday that he is going to donate a
19:53
Speaker 20: million dollars from what he made off of the tour
19:56
Speaker 20: to Palestinian relief efforts. And he challenged Robert Kraft to
20:00
Speaker 20: do the same. He says, you know, even if they
20:03
Speaker 20: can't agree on anything, they can both agree that that
20:07
Speaker 20: Palestinian lives should be cared about. And here's what he's doing.
20:11
Speaker 20: So let's see what you'll do. Now, Robert Kraft has
20:15
Speaker 20: stepped up to the challenge. The New England Patriots owner
20:19
Speaker 20: says that Ed Sheeran actually had already called him before
20:22
Speaker 20: Macklemore publicly challenged him to match his $ 1 million donation
20:26
Speaker 20: to Palestinian relief groups.
20:27
Speaker 6: And he says he's.
20:28
Speaker 19: Committed $ 2 million aid in the region.
20:35
Speaker 1: I'm glad he did that because I'm tired of hearing
20:37
Speaker 1: people just talk in virtue signal, like what actually can
20:41
Speaker 1: be done. So if there's something that can actually be done,
20:43
Speaker 1: put your.
20:44
Speaker 2: Money where your mouth is. I respect that. I'm a
20:46
Speaker 2: matter just to talk as well. Cause it raises awareness
20:48
Speaker 2: and people say all the time that talking about it
20:50
Speaker 2: and keeping it in the news and the press is
20:52
Speaker 2: just as good.
20:52
Speaker 21: Yeah.
20:52
Speaker 4: But some people just talk. I like when some action gets,
20:55
Speaker 4: it gets done and this is action.
20:57
Speaker 7: Yes.
20:58
Speaker 14: Yep.
20:58
Speaker 20: And in the statement, Robert Kraft said that it's not
21:02
Speaker 20: going to stop there. Their plan is for Ed Sheeran
21:05
Speaker 20: to continue to reach out to other owners and see
21:09
Speaker 20: what they can also do, to other venue owners, to
21:11
Speaker 20: see what they can also do to work together to
21:13
Speaker 20: build different bridges and continue the efforts.
21:16
Speaker 19: So we'll see what happens.
21:17
Speaker 20: I did see some people saying we want to know
21:19
Speaker 20: exactly where the money is going because when Macklemore... announced
21:22
Speaker 20: his money, he listed specific groups that he would be
21:26
Speaker 20: working with or donating the money to. He specifically listed
21:30
Speaker 20: six organizations. So people are wanting to know now where
21:33
Speaker 20: are things going and what's.
21:34
Speaker 6: Going to happen.
21:34
Speaker 20: Do you have Robert Kraft's statement? Yes, I do have
21:38
Speaker 20: Robert Kraft's statement. He says, I have dedicated much of
21:40
Speaker 20: my life to building bridges between all people. I believe
21:43
Speaker 20: deeply that all lives are worth protecting. Earlier today before
21:46
Speaker 20: Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me
21:49
Speaker 20: and asked me Ed called me and asked me to
21:53
Speaker 20: commit $ 2 million to match his donation to aid in
21:55
Speaker 20: the region to fight this humanitarian crisis. Ed now plans
21:59
Speaker 20: to reach out to the other venue owners, and our
22:01
Speaker 20: goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.
22:03
Speaker 20: In addition, I'd like the people who are speaking in
22:06
Speaker 20: support of Palestinian people to know that for decades, I
22:09
Speaker 20: have supported efforts that create opportunity for Palestinians and have
22:12
Speaker 20: brought young Palestinians and Israelis together to build businesses, create jobs,
22:17
Speaker 20: and forge relationships.
22:18
Speaker 1: Well, I must say Robert Kraft handled this situation horribly. OK,
22:22
Speaker 1: because if Robert Kraft was really trying to build a bridge,
22:24
Speaker 1: he would have done everything he's doing now before they
22:28
Speaker 1: decided to put pressure on folks to get Macklemore dropped.
22:31
Speaker 1: Like everything he said in that statement should have happened
22:33
Speaker 1: way before any of this got.
22:35
Speaker 2: To the point it's gotten to. It don't make sense
22:36
Speaker 2: to me. You build bridges, you donate money, but you
22:39
Speaker 2: still take Macklemore off the tour.
22:40
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
22:41
Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense. All of this should have happened.
22:44
Speaker 1: Way before it got to this point.
22:47
Speaker 2: That don't make sense.
22:48
Speaker 19: You know, it's crazy.
22:49
Speaker 20: There was a Wall Street Journal report that said that
22:51
Speaker 20: there were some venue like some NFL owners that were
22:54
Speaker 20: promised that after Macklemore did night one of the loop tour,
22:58
Speaker 20: he would not mention Palestine again on any additional stops.
23:03
Speaker 20: So when MetLife happened, they were caught off guard by it.
23:06
Speaker 20: It doesn't specify which owner specifically, but it does point
23:09
Speaker 20: to owners in Philly who had, you know, Lincoln Financial
23:14
Speaker 20: Field who had issues.
23:15
Speaker 6: Or who may have had issues.
23:16
Speaker 20: They also mentioned the Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons. So I
23:21
Speaker 20: don't know what's happening behind the scenes here, but publicly,
23:24
Speaker 20: this is what's happening now.
23:25
Speaker 6: Donations are being talked about.
23:28
Speaker 5: Yes.
23:29
Speaker 20: So we'll keep you guys updated if there is more there.
23:31
Speaker 20: But I do know people are calling. They want to
23:33
Speaker 20: know specifically where this $ 2 million is going to go.
23:38
Speaker 6: So that'll probably be what we hear next.
23:40
Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
23:41
Speaker 20: Now, speaking of Robert Kraft, Colin Kaepernick. So Colin Kaepernick,
23:46
Speaker 20: he has a book that will be releasing this month,
23:49
Speaker 20: and he has done a lot of press.
23:51
Speaker 2: It's out.
23:52
Speaker 4: It came out on the 15th. It's out already, yeah.
23:55
Speaker 6: Oh, I thought it came out on the 18th.
23:56
Speaker 5: Okay.
23:56
Speaker 7: Yes.
23:57
Speaker 20: So Colin Kaepernick's book is out and he's talking a
23:59
Speaker 20: bit about a bit more about his experience with the NFL.
24:03
Speaker 20: One of the things, though, I thought he was on
24:05
Speaker 20: a platform called the Midas Touch and they have a
24:08
Speaker 20: conversation about what's currently happening with Robert Kraft, the NFL
24:13
Speaker 20: or NFL owners, venue owners in McLemore. And here's what
24:18
Speaker 20: Colin Kaepernick had to say in comparison to his situation
24:20
Speaker 20: with Robert Kraft.
24:23
Speaker 19: Let's listen to the colluding audio.
24:25
Speaker 22: What Robert Kraft and what they're saying by denying Macklemore
24:30
Speaker 22: the opportunity to go out and perform with Ed Sheeran.
24:32
Speaker 15: Is they are willing to collude. They're openly colluding.
24:37
Speaker 22: When we filed the grievance, it was like, well, the
24:40
Speaker 22: owners wouldn't do that. Everybody just wants to win within
24:44
Speaker 22: the NFL. And the realization is, no, they want to
24:49
Speaker 22: protect their interests.
24:50
Speaker 15: They want to protect their power.
24:52
Speaker 22: They want to protect their money. They also want people
24:55
Speaker 22: to know that if you take an action that they
24:58
Speaker 22: don't agree with, they will come for you. That was
25:01
Speaker 22: some of the warning coming out of the protests. and
25:04
Speaker 22: some of the warning coming out of the grievance is
25:06
Speaker 22: that they will organize against you, which means that we
25:09
Speaker 22: collectively have to organize to be able to protect our
25:12
Speaker 22: interests as well. I hope this gives a space where
25:15
Speaker 22: people realize how significant this is and also gives a
25:19
Speaker 22: little bit of insight in while it may not touch
25:21
Speaker 22: you today, at some point it's going to come knocking
25:24
Speaker 22: on your doorstep and that's not the moment to be
25:26
Speaker 22: able to take action.
25:28
Speaker 1: I don't think that was ever up for debate, though.
25:30
Speaker 1: I think people knew that they colluded against Kaepernick. Kaepernick
25:34
Speaker 1: didn't legally prove collusion in court, but if you file
25:37
Speaker 1: a grievance saying team owner's you know, blackballed you and
25:40
Speaker 1: then the NFL financially settles with you. To me, that
25:42
Speaker 1: was clearly an admission of guilt from the NFL.
25:44
Speaker 4: So I don't think that's ever been up for debate.
25:46
Speaker 2: Now, a lot of people believe that Kaepernick was all
25:48
Speaker 2: cap and it wasn't true. Because a lot of people...
25:50
Speaker 2: They settled with him. I mean, yes.
25:52
Speaker 1: He filed a grievance saying that they blackballed him and
25:55
Speaker 1: then they settled with him.
25:55
Speaker 2: But a lot of people.
25:56
Speaker 20: Before the settlement, though, there were people that were like, why, like,
25:59
Speaker 20: why would... Basically, kind of like you.
26:01
Speaker 19: Think you are.
26:01
Speaker 2: Why would the NFL do that? Correct.
26:03
Speaker 19: Why would these people take all of this time, this
26:05
Speaker 19: big business?
26:06
Speaker 1: But after we see a settlement happen, that should clearly
26:09
Speaker 1: be some type of admission of guilt from the NFL.
26:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, some people still didn't believe that, though. And I
26:13
Speaker 2: think Kaepernick is basically saying if they did it to Macklemore,
26:15
Speaker 2: you know they did it to me. That's what I
26:16
Speaker 2: think he's trying to say.
26:18
Speaker 6: Yeah.
26:19
Speaker 20: Well, he also continues to go on and have a
26:21
Speaker 20: conversation about the NFL and some of the things that
26:24
Speaker 20: he believes happened or he's saying happened. He talks about
26:27
Speaker 20: the NFL just wanting another black face. And this is
26:29
Speaker 20: where Jay-Z enters the chat. Let's take a listen to
26:32
Speaker 20: Kaepernick on the NFL wanting another black face.
26:35
Speaker 22: We see the NFL owners explicitly call this out in
26:39
Speaker 22: their players owners meeting that happened in 2017. Robert Kraft saying,
26:45
Speaker 22: you know, the elephant in the room is this kneeling
26:48
Speaker 22: and the protests.
26:49
Speaker 15: We need to address it.
26:50
Speaker 22: And then you have Terry Pegula, who is the owner
26:52
Speaker 22: of the Buffalo Bills on the back of that, coming
26:55
Speaker 22: out and saying, we need a black face to help
26:58
Speaker 22: us end this. We need a black face to help
27:00
Speaker 22: us subvert the protests, work counter to the people's interests.
27:04
Speaker 22: They tried it with me directly to offer me a
27:07
Speaker 22: major deal to lead their social justice initiatives, which to
27:11
Speaker 22: be clear, that was rejected. At the same time, we
27:15
Speaker 22: then see Jay-Z step into that role. What we really
27:17
Speaker 22: see is this alignment of classes. We see a billionaire
27:22
Speaker 22: class in the NFL owners. We see that aligned with
27:25
Speaker 22: Jay-Z's interests personally, but working counter to the people's efforts
27:31
Speaker 22: and working counter to the people's goals.
27:34
Speaker 1: It's strange for anyone to say the NFL needed a
27:37
Speaker 1: black face when the league is 70% black. I don't
27:40
Speaker 1: care if it's Jay-Z or Colin Kaepernick. The league has
27:42
Speaker 1: a bunch of black faces. 70% of the league is black,
27:45
Speaker 1: so no one person can stop people from doing anything.
27:48
Speaker 1: My question would be, why didn't more players keep the
27:51
Speaker 1: protests going? When you have a league that is 70% black,
27:54
Speaker 1: why didn't more players keep the protests going? I saw
27:56
Speaker 1: Kaep say players should have came together and went on strike.
28:01
Speaker 1: My question is, Kaep, why didn't he attempt to organize
28:05
Speaker 1: that and lead that?
28:07
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think he's arguing and saying that
28:09
Speaker 2: the league is not majority black. I think what he's
28:11
Speaker 2: saying is when the league was getting all that backlash
28:14
Speaker 2: for for brothers kneeling because of the reason that they
28:16
Speaker 2: were kneeling. I think he was saying that they wanted
28:18
Speaker 2: it to stop and they wanted a black face to
28:20
Speaker 2: help them stop.
28:21
Speaker 1: How can how can one person stop a league that's
28:24
Speaker 1: 70 percent full of black players? My question again, why?
28:29
Speaker 1: There's no one person that can stop a whole group
28:32
Speaker 1: of black people from doing something.
28:34
Speaker 19: No, I mean, yes, right?
28:36
Speaker 5: Maybe.
28:36
Speaker 20: But you need somebody that is able to speak our language,
28:40
Speaker 20: that is the middle person who also is on the
28:44
Speaker 20: inside of the NFL to kind of like bridge the gap.
28:46
Speaker 19: Bridge what gap? They were looking for that.
28:50
Speaker 2: Colin said they needed... Somebody outside of an owner. Colin
28:53
Speaker 2: said they needed.
28:54
Speaker 4: That looks like.
28:54
Speaker 2: Talks like, and acts like... I don't think y'all listen.
28:57
Speaker 2: That's what I think he was saying.
28:58
Speaker 1: Colin said they needed a black face to stop the protests.
29:02
Speaker 1: The league is 70% black. Why didn't more players keep
29:08
Speaker 1: the protests going?
29:10
Speaker 20: Because it wasn't the whole conversation that the players didn't
29:13
Speaker 20: feel like they had the power.
29:15
Speaker 19: To do certain things because these owners are who paid
29:17
Speaker 19: the bills.
29:17
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying.
29:18
Speaker 18: I guess you playing a dangerous game when you do
29:20
Speaker 18: something like that. You see what happened to him when
29:21
Speaker 18: he did it.
29:22
Speaker 2: No, you're trying to say players were fearful of losing
29:25
Speaker 2: their jobs. But it's obviously what he's saying. And I
29:27
Speaker 2: don't know if Jay-Z is the person that they're saying
29:29
Speaker 2: or if it is true. But what he's saying is
29:31
Speaker 2: they needed a face that looks like him to try
29:33
Speaker 2: to stop these protests down.
29:35
Speaker 1: Y'all do realize Colin Kaepernick opted out of his deal, right?
29:39
Speaker 2: What you mean?
29:41
Speaker 1: He didn't get dropped from a team. He opted out.
29:43
Speaker 1: He was a free agent.
29:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not what he's saying. He's not saying
29:46
Speaker 2: anything about him being an agent or anything. Y'all make
29:48
Speaker 2: it seem like he got dropped. I didn't say he
29:50
Speaker 2: got dropped.
29:51
Speaker 1: He couldn't get back in, but I think we're still
29:53
Speaker 1: missing the larger point. 70% of the league is black.
29:57
Speaker 2: African-American, absolutely. The players could have kept protesting. That would
30:01
Speaker 2: have been my question. But he wasn't going back and
30:03
Speaker 2: forth with that. He was just saying that he said
30:05
Speaker 2: that from that meeting that the NFL owner said, we
30:07
Speaker 2: need a black face to calm this down. And he
30:10
Speaker 2: is saying that they picked, first they tried to go
30:12
Speaker 2: with him as the black face, and he didn't want
30:14
Speaker 2: to do it. He denied it, and he said they
30:15
Speaker 2: chose Jay-Z as the black face. Guess what? That's what
30:17
Speaker 2: he's saying. The league is a black face. The league
30:21
Speaker 2: is 70% black. What are we talking about? So why
30:25
Speaker 2: didn't the players keep the protest going?
30:27
Speaker 18: Because they made an example out of the first dude
30:30
Speaker 18: that did it. And so they didn't want to end
30:32
Speaker 18: up like he did.
30:33
Speaker 4: I don't understand what y'all say.
30:35
Speaker 7: Okay.
30:36
Speaker 6: Well, you don't have to.
30:38
Speaker 4: I really don't.
30:38
Speaker 1: All I'm simply saying is 70% of the league is black.
30:41
Speaker 1: A lot of those players could have kept going. Kaepernick
30:43
Speaker 1: said himself that they missed the moment because a lot
30:46
Speaker 1: of the players should have went on strike.
30:47
Speaker 4: Why didn't somebody organize that strike? That's what I'm saying.
30:52
Speaker 2: Well, I think Jess said it clearly.
30:54
Speaker 18: I mean, you didn't want to go on straight because
30:57
Speaker 18: a lot of players do not want.
30:58
Speaker 2: To lose their job. Players were fearful of losing their
31:01
Speaker 2: jobs and not having their benefits and they had to
31:03
Speaker 2: take care of family. That's what I think the message was.
31:05
Speaker 6: And then now look at Cap.
31:06
Speaker 7: Now.
31:06
Speaker 2: Okay.
31:07
Speaker 6: Still trying to get back in.
31:08
Speaker 18: You know what I mean?
31:10
Speaker 2: Cap is up. Cap is up. I get what you're saying,
31:13
Speaker 2: but he's not going to play football. These niggas want
31:15
Speaker 2: to play football. Cap is up. Cap is up. I'm
31:17
Speaker 2: saying he's not up.
31:24
Speaker 7: Sorry.
31:24
Speaker 2: Don't pour a cap on him.
31:25
Speaker 18: He's not a football player is what I'm saying. He's
31:28
Speaker 18: not a player. He wants to be in love. He's
31:31
Speaker 18: not a football player.
31:33
Speaker 2: He ain't pour a cap. No, he's out. He's out.
31:35
Speaker 2: He's just speaking his truth for what he.
31:37
Speaker 4: Thinks his truth is.
31:38
Speaker 1: All I'm simply saying is 70% of the league is black.
31:39
Speaker 1: They could have kept the protest going if they wanted
31:41
Speaker 1: to and no one person could have stopped that.
31:43
Speaker 7: All right.
31:43
Speaker 2: Well, that is the latest with Lauren.
31:44
Speaker 20: Well, the perilous fight is the conversation he's trying to have.
31:47
Speaker 20: And it's sparking the conversation. We got to wrap up, though, y'all.

32:07
Speaker 2: is The Breakfast Club.
32:08
Speaker 9: Good morning.
32:08
Speaker 2: Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
32:12
Speaker 2: We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
32:14
Speaker 2: page news. Now it's Thursday night football. Detroit, what up, though?
32:19
Speaker 2: The Lions take on the Buffalo Bills at 8.15. What's up, Mimi?
32:24
Speaker 9: Good morning, everyone. How y'all doing this hour?
32:26
Speaker 6: Good morning.
32:27
Speaker 9: Good morning.
32:28
Speaker 10: So front page news is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
32:31
Speaker 10: America's largest law firm. So this morning we want to
32:34
Speaker 10: tell you about a very important immigration rule that is
32:38
Speaker 10: set to go into effect tomorrow. And so this new
32:41
Speaker 10: rule can make it harder for some legal immigrants to
32:44
Speaker 10: get a green card.
32:45
Speaker 9: It's called the public charge rule.
32:46
Speaker 10: So right now, when someone applies for a green card,
32:50
Speaker 10: immigration officials can consider whether that person is likely to
32:54
Speaker 10: depend on certain government benefits. That could include food stamps, Medicaid,
32:59
Speaker 10: housing assistance, even benefits used by other members of your family.
33:03
Speaker 9: So, for an example, you could be legally living in.
33:07
Speaker 10: This country and applying for a green card, but your
33:10
Speaker 10: child could be a U.S. citizen who gets a free
33:12
Speaker 10: lunch at school or has government-sponsored health care insurance. And
33:17
Speaker 10: the fact that your child is receiving benefits could now
33:20
Speaker 10: be taken into consideration when deciding whether or not you
33:24
Speaker 10: get that green card. And so that's what 22 states
33:27
Speaker 10: and Washington, D.C. are now suing to stop. And New
33:30
Speaker 10: York is also challenging that rule. Here is Mayor Zoran Mondani.
33:35
Speaker 21: Families, including those with children who are U.S. citizens, have
33:39
Speaker 21: already begun to forego essential services like SNAP, Medicaid and
33:43
Speaker 21: affordable housing. Out of the fear that if they use
33:46
Speaker 21: these programs, immigration officers could use it as justification to
33:50
Speaker 21: deny them a future in our country. The toll of
33:52
Speaker 21: this new rule cannot be overstated. It is estimated that
33:56
Speaker 21: up to 4 million people from across the country could
33:59
Speaker 21: unenroll from their health care alone, including 1.8 million children.
34:04
Speaker 21: None of this is abstract.
34:05
Speaker 2: People could die.
34:09
Speaker 14: Yeah.
34:09
Speaker 10: So the Trump administration says the change is about making
34:11
Speaker 10: sure that immigrants can support themselves without relying on government assistance. Again,
34:16
Speaker 10: this rule is set to take effect tomorrow. But the states,
34:20
Speaker 10: they want a federal judge to block it before it happens.
34:23
Speaker 2: And I feel bad for any immigrant out there trying
34:25
Speaker 2: to get their green card. Trying to get it renewed
34:28
Speaker 2: is almost impossible right now. Like people have been waiting
34:30
Speaker 2: for months at a time and they're scared that, you know,
34:33
Speaker 2: the Trump administration is holding it back so they can't
34:35
Speaker 2: get it. And not only that. The attorneys are making
34:37
Speaker 2: a lot of money because these attorneys are charging the
34:39
Speaker 2: immigrants so much money to get their green cards. Oh,
34:41
Speaker 2: I can get it for you in this amount of time. Oh,
34:43
Speaker 2: don't worry about it. And a lot of the immigrants
34:45
Speaker 2: feel like they have no way and they're paying these
34:47
Speaker 2: attorneys and these attorneys are getting them.
34:48
Speaker 1: Remember when the immigrants used to just marry fat white
34:51
Speaker 1: women to get a green card?
34:53
Speaker 2: You remember those days?
34:54
Speaker 4: I'm the only person that remembers that, huh?
34:55
Speaker 14: No.
34:56
Speaker 2: Not just fat white women, just fat women in general.
34:57
Speaker 5: No, no, no.
34:58
Speaker 4: Just fat white women.
34:59
Speaker 6: They love them.
35:00
Speaker 4: That's what they thought to get that green card.
35:03
Speaker 2: You ain't never seen a Jamaican man with a white hair?
35:06
Speaker 4: Yes, yo, yes, yes.
35:07
Speaker 6: Damn.
35:10
Speaker 9: Okay, well, moving on really quickly.
35:12
Speaker 10: Also, there is a city right outside of Chicago that
35:16
Speaker 10: is paying some of its black residents $ 25, 000 in reparations.
35:20
Speaker 10: And right now, the Trump administration is trying to stop that.
35:24
Speaker 10: So it's called Evanston, Illinois. And for decades, Evanston has
35:27
Speaker 10: had policies that kept black families from buying or renting
35:31
Speaker 10: homes in certain parts of the city. And so the city,
35:34
Speaker 10: they apologized and they created their own reparations program to
35:36
Speaker 10: try and address some of that damage.
35:39
Speaker 9: And eligible black residents there.
35:41
Speaker 10: They can receive $ 25, 000 in cash or housing assistance.
35:44
Speaker 9: You get to choose which one you want.
35:46
Speaker 10: But to qualify under the original program, you generally have
35:49
Speaker 10: to show that you were a direct ancestor living in
35:52
Speaker 10: Edison during the time period where there.
35:54
Speaker 9: Was housing segregation.
35:57
Speaker 10: So far, the city has paid out $ 5 million, but
35:59
Speaker 10: now the Trump administration is trying to stop it.
36:02
Speaker 9: The Department of Justice, they have joined a.
36:04
Speaker 10: Lawsuit brought by people who are not black who say
36:08
Speaker 10: they would qualify for that money, you know, if they
36:10
Speaker 10: were not, if they were white, if they weren't white.
36:14
Speaker 10: And so they live in Edison, and so they think
36:16
Speaker 10: it's unfair. The Justice Department said, though, that that's the problem.
36:20
Speaker 10: The government does not get to decide who gets money
36:24
Speaker 10: based on race and argues that the program violates the
36:26
Speaker 10: Constitutional Equal Protection Clause and Fair Housing Act.
36:30
Speaker 9: I think the.
36:30
Speaker 10: Bigger issue with this uh, this story is that Evanston
36:34
Speaker 10: has been looked at a model for other States who want, uh,
36:37
Speaker 10: to give their citizens or their residents reparations. And so
36:40
Speaker 10: the justice department has come in and they are now
36:43
Speaker 10: trying to block that.
36:43
Speaker 3: Okay.
36:47
Speaker 18: All right.
36:47
Speaker 8: Yeah.
36:48
Speaker 9: Yeah. So, um, that's what's up.
36:50
Speaker 18: Did they get 25 K if they get, yeah, they're
36:53
Speaker 18: getting 25.
36:55
Speaker 10: K to cash or, you know, uh, to buy a
37:00
Speaker 10: home or land or whatever you want to do in
37:02
Speaker 10: that city.
37:03
Speaker 1: And it just shows you how they do not want
37:06
Speaker 1: black empowerment in no way, shape or form.
37:09
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
37:10
Speaker 1: Because why would they be concerned about what the city
37:14
Speaker 1: of Evanston is doing with.
37:15
Speaker 4: Their black residents?
37:17
Speaker 2: Like why?
37:18
Speaker 1: Like why would that be a reason for the DOJ
37:19
Speaker 1: to intervene and challenge people who received the money?
37:22
Speaker 2: Because they wouldn't do that if it was white people.
37:25
Speaker 4: They wouldn't do that if it was Jewish people.
37:26
Speaker 2: They just wouldn't. We know this already.
37:30
Speaker 10: And they've already started doing it. They're already in the
37:32
Speaker 10: middle of the program and you just want it to stop.
37:35
Speaker 10: So it just makes no sense.

37:51

37:54
Speaker 2: be joining us. He's been in the news lately the
37:55
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. We're going to talk to him
37:57
Speaker 2: when we come back. All right, so don't move. It's
37:59
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,

Speaker 2: just hilarious. We are the Breakfast Club. We've got a
38:06
Speaker 2: special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We've got the brother,
38:08
Speaker 2: Ryan Clark.
38:09
Speaker 5: Welcome.
38:09
Speaker 15: Brother what's up man how you doing how you feeling
38:11
Speaker 15: good morning right here.
38:12
Speaker 1: Well i know you got places to be so we
38:14
Speaker 1: got to get to it okay you said something that
38:16
Speaker 1: fascinated me jesus christ no we gotta talk you said
38:21
Speaker 1: uh that if espn hadn't fired you you probably would
38:23
Speaker 1: have never taken the step that you took which is
38:26
Speaker 1: to you know just go i guess fall in on
38:29
Speaker 1: the pivot yeah right why did somebody else have to
38:31
Speaker 1: stop believing in your value before you were willing to
38:33
Speaker 1: bet on yourself.
38:34
Speaker 15: Especially with a pod called Dependent. Yeah, I think the
38:37
Speaker 15: biggest thing is it was the job I wanted.
38:41
Speaker 7: Right?
38:41
Speaker 15: I interned at ESPN when I was playing.
38:44
Speaker 5: Right?
38:44
Speaker 15: And so to me, watching Stuart Scott, seeing Tom Jackson, like,
38:48
Speaker 15: that was the job. And if you could get to
38:51
Speaker 15: Monday Night Football... Like, that's iconic. And to be inside
38:55
Speaker 15: those stadiums and be able to talk to players, talk
38:57
Speaker 15: to coaches, talk to GMs, like, I earned that.
39:00
Speaker 7: Right?
39:01
Speaker 15: I worked for that. And that was the goal I set.
39:03
Speaker 15: And so there was a comfort in that. Like, no
39:06
Speaker 15: matter what. And I say this all the time.
39:07
Speaker 2: I just say this.
39:08
Speaker 15: You know, Stuart Scott was, like, the dude that made
39:10
Speaker 15: me want to do TV. Because he said, we can
39:13
Speaker 15: do it and be us and be successful.
39:15
Speaker 12: Right?
39:15
Speaker 15: And Stuart Scott, man, got cancer and passed. You still
39:19
Speaker 15: walk past every restaurant, though, and ESPN's on it. And
39:22
Speaker 15: so that was going to stand. So there was a
39:24
Speaker 15: comfort in it, right? It was a comfort. And you
39:26
Speaker 15: get to do what you love to do. You get
39:28
Speaker 15: paid a lot of money to do it. at a
39:30
Speaker 15: place that is going to be an entity in this
39:32
Speaker 15: business forever. And so I think it was that level
39:35
Speaker 15: of comfort being content in what I was doing. I said, okay,
39:39
Speaker 15: you don't have to go start this other thing because
39:41
Speaker 15: I did have both Charlemagne.
39:44
Speaker 2: So for people that don't know what exactly happened, if
39:46
Speaker 2: they didn't hear your podcast, and if you don't know,
39:48
Speaker 2: he's a 13 year NFL safety play for my team,
39:51
Speaker 2: the Giants. We look good, right? We bust some cowgirls' ass.
39:53
Speaker 2: But anyway, another story, another time. Redskins, Commanders, Steelers, Super
39:56
Speaker 2: Bowl champion. So what happened? Because people loved you, loved
40:00
Speaker 2: you on TV. The ratings were great. And what happened?
40:03
Speaker 15: The right people didn't love me. And you know that.
40:05
Speaker 4: You said the white people didn't love you?
40:07
Speaker 2: I said the right. Oh, you said right.
40:08
Speaker 8: Yeah.
40:09
Speaker 7: He's already hearing sometimes.
40:10
Speaker 2: He's already hearing sometimes.
40:12
Speaker 6: I already know what's going on.
40:14
Speaker 2: And I hate your business. I hate your business.
40:16
Speaker 7: But.
40:17
Speaker 15: It taught me a lesson, right? It taught me a
40:19
Speaker 15: lesson that you can't get, because you believe it's one thing,
40:23
Speaker 15: and even the perception of you might be one thing,
40:25
Speaker 15: if you're not the decision maker, you can't get comfortable.
40:29
Speaker 15: To me, I'm coming from football. When you play football,
40:32
Speaker 15: if that film hot, you're going to play, right? If
40:35
Speaker 15: that film hot, you're going to get contracts because that's
40:38
Speaker 15: the way it works.
40:39
Speaker 2: That's not how TV works.
40:40
Speaker 15: That's not how the corporate world works.
40:42
Speaker 2: Right.
40:43
Speaker 15: And I had to learn that. I struggled getting out
40:47
Speaker 15: of football. A lot of people talk about struggling, like
40:49
Speaker 15: not having a passion. I struggled not being able to
40:52
Speaker 15: tell people what I felt. You see what I'm saying?
40:56
Speaker 15: Because in football, because most of us are alphas and
40:59
Speaker 15: most of us come from a place of direct accountability,
41:03
Speaker 15: I could tell you when I got a problem with you, right?
41:05
Speaker 15: Like football is like growing up where we grew up
41:08
Speaker 15: in our community. You might throw hands with your best friend,
41:11
Speaker 15: but y'all going to dab off afterwards. And if somebody
41:13
Speaker 15: else comes to the crib, they got an issue with
41:15
Speaker 15: both of us. That wasn't, that's not how corporate works, right?
41:19
Speaker 15: If you got the right relationships, if the right people
41:22
Speaker 15: like you, if you have the right executive in your corner,
41:25
Speaker 15: then you can get a show or you can have
41:27
Speaker 15: a setback and they'll make sure you're in the right position.
41:30
Speaker 15: I didn't necessarily have those relationships. And on top of that,
41:33
Speaker 15: if you see the way linear TV is going, when
41:37
Speaker 15: you cut it on, if you look at, oh, this
41:39
Speaker 15: person's there, this person's there, or this person has a
41:43
Speaker 15: new show. Some of the things that I talked about
41:45
Speaker 15: and some of the things that I champion aren't in
41:48
Speaker 15: line with with those. And I believe that not having
41:51
Speaker 15: that connection to with decision makers is a big reason
41:54
Speaker 15: why I was out as well.
41:55
Speaker 1: You know, ESPN called it a layoff, but you were,
41:57
Speaker 1: you were adamant about, no, I was fired. Why is
42:00
Speaker 1: that distinction so important?
42:01
Speaker 15: Because everybody that got laid off got told on Tuesday.
42:05
Speaker 15: Only one person got told on Monday on set.
42:08
Speaker 8: Me.
42:10
Speaker 15: That's the distinction. If it was fair, if it was right,
42:15
Speaker 15: if it was because of the reasons that Everyone else
42:19
Speaker 15: was laid off, right? We merged two companies, or ESPN
42:23
Speaker 15: merged with NFL Network. So they were bringing in outside people,
42:28
Speaker 15: whether it was talent behind the scenes, and there had
42:31
Speaker 15: to be budget cuts, right? Whether it was Cam Newton,
42:35
Speaker 15: who's an NFL MVP, Carl Ravitch, who had been there
42:41
Speaker 15: 33 years, Charles Davis, who was respected in this business,
42:45
Speaker 15: or the people behind the scenes who You didn't hear
42:47
Speaker 15: about any of them on Monday.
42:51
Speaker 5: Right?
42:51
Speaker 15: Only one person got let go on Monday. Only one
42:55
Speaker 15: person was let go on air. Only one person's firing
43:00
Speaker 15: or layoff was leaked to a far-right conservative sports site. Yeah,
43:06
Speaker 15: it got leaked to OutKick, right?
43:08
Speaker 5: Yeah. Me. Me.
43:09
Speaker 15: So when all those things line up, it lets you
43:14
Speaker 15: know that everything's not on the up and up. But
43:16
Speaker 15: it was also purposeful. It was also meant, in my opinion,
43:20
Speaker 15: to humiliate.
43:23
Speaker 17: Right.
43:23
Speaker 15: And in leaking it to OutKick, you now know if
43:28
Speaker 15: anybody is going to. curry favor for you in this decision,
43:34
Speaker 15: it's going to be them because it's me.
43:36
Speaker 2: Oh, they're going to read the conservatives rejoice.
43:39
Speaker 7: Yeah.
43:39
Speaker 5: Right.
43:39
Speaker 15: And, and, and, and in truth, uh, a couple of
43:43
Speaker 15: days later, uh, I think it was Sophie Cunningham, you know,
43:46
Speaker 15: that's when she came out and, you know, she was
43:48
Speaker 15: talking about the trans thing. women playing in the league,
43:52
Speaker 15: someone from OutKick, their first tweet was, what a great
43:55
Speaker 15: rebrand week for ESPN. Ryan Clark is let go, and
44:00
Speaker 15: now Sophie Cunningham is leading news. So it's letting you
44:04
Speaker 15: know what they think. And in my opinion, if you're
44:08
Speaker 15: going to give them the story, bro, it's so many
44:12
Speaker 15: reputable sports publications. whether it's, you know, Sports Illustrated, the
44:17
Speaker 15: New York Times, The Athletic. If this is going to
44:20
Speaker 15: be as big a news as it turned out to be,
44:22
Speaker 15: why not give it to them? Because you knew who
44:25
Speaker 15: you were giving it to. You knew the small amount
44:28
Speaker 15: of people within that building that knew it. And then,
44:32
Speaker 15: you know, the humiliation that you at least purposed it
44:36
Speaker 15: to come along with my, you know, me being laid off.
44:38
Speaker 2: Did they take care of you or was it one
44:40
Speaker 2: of those things they let you go and now you're,
44:42
Speaker 2: going back and forth now, meaning you have a family,
44:44
Speaker 2: you have kids, you gave a lot of years.
44:46
Speaker 15: Contractually, it's already done, right? So contractually, there's reasons why
44:52
Speaker 15: I can't be on a network, right? Because as the
44:54
Speaker 15: contract goes, if you are laid off, you get to
44:57
Speaker 15: be paid throughout the end of your contract, which for
44:59
Speaker 15: me is the last day of February. So until that point,
45:03
Speaker 15: I still have an opportunity to make money from them.
45:08
Speaker 15: And I think that's another reason, Charlamagne, when you're saying
45:11
Speaker 15: about betting on yourself. I can't sit up here and
45:14
Speaker 15: like puff my chest out like, oh, I took. But
45:17
Speaker 15: I'm also doing this while not putting my family in
45:21
Speaker 15: a worse position by having to say, oh, I'm throwing
45:23
Speaker 15: all this money into this thing or I'm betting on
45:25
Speaker 15: this thing alone while I'm not being paid. So I'm
45:28
Speaker 15: kind of getting to do both with a little bit
45:31
Speaker 15: of an umbrella. And that's why it was imperative that
45:35
Speaker 15: in six weeks we figured out a way to get
45:37
Speaker 15: this off the ground and have it launch on monday
45:40
Speaker 15: i do.
45:41
Speaker 1: Think a lot of people don't really know that you
45:43
Speaker 1: got fired while you were on air yeah because it
45:47
Speaker 1: was about this is what i was told it was
45:49
Speaker 1: about to get leaked to outkick outkick was about to
45:50
Speaker 1: put it out run the story and so somebody came
45:53
Speaker 1: to you like i don't know like an hour prior
45:54
Speaker 1: to say hey ryan this is about to.
45:56
Speaker 2: Come out why like that's intentional to tell you that.
45:58
Speaker 15: While you're on air yeah so i don't i'm gonna
46:01
Speaker 15: be honest right like there are some really good people
46:05
Speaker 15: in that building and some people man that that I'm
46:08
Speaker 15: talking about, bro, that went to bat for me in
46:10
Speaker 15: so many different situations when other people in high office
46:15
Speaker 15: or executives weren't trying to understand who I am and
46:18
Speaker 15: why I think or move or believe what I move,
46:22
Speaker 15: the way I move. And so the person who called
46:24
Speaker 15: me is like he was my immediate boss. You know,
46:27
Speaker 15: we had been through it, man. He was the person
46:28
Speaker 15: that gave me my internship, the dude I talked to
46:31
Speaker 15: to get there. And so we're on we're doing the
46:34
Speaker 15: show and I get a text message from our showrunner.
46:38
Speaker 15: And like the way he texted me, I could tell
46:40
Speaker 15: he didn't know. He was like, RC, man.
46:43
Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
46:43
Speaker 15: So hit him up next break. You don't call people
46:46
Speaker 15: on commercial break during the show.
46:49
Speaker 5: Right.
46:49
Speaker 15: You talk to him afterwards. And I heard enough rumblings
46:52
Speaker 15: about things that I was like, this can't be good.
46:56
Speaker 5: Right.
46:56
Speaker 15: And so we get on the phone and he's like, man,
47:00
Speaker 15: this is this is a hard call. But, you know,
47:04
Speaker 15: they're going to let.
47:04
Speaker 2: You go there.
47:06
Speaker 15: You there, too.
47:08
Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
47:08
Speaker 16: Right?
47:08
Speaker 15: So it's already in the tone and the words used that, okay,
47:13
Speaker 15: this ain't really your call. And he said, you know, Outkick,
47:18
Speaker 15: the story was leaked to Outkick. Outkick has the story.
47:21
Speaker 15: They're going to run with it. And I don't want
47:24
Speaker 15: that to happen to you while you're on air. Yeah.
47:27
Speaker 15: You know, and he was really, at least in my opinion,
47:30
Speaker 15: he did me a solid. Yeah, absolutely.
47:32
Speaker 5: Right?
47:32
Speaker 15: Because I do feel like it was about that humiliation.
47:36
Speaker 7: Yeah.
47:37
Speaker 15: And he wanted to save me from that.
47:39
Speaker 5: Right.
47:39
Speaker 15: It was already going to be enough written. It was
47:41
Speaker 15: already going to be enough laughs, enough jokes that I
47:44
Speaker 15: worked that day anyway. So I appreciated him. And I
47:49
Speaker 15: told him this. If anybody was going to call me,
47:53
Speaker 15: I wanted it to be the person that for the
47:54
Speaker 15: last 10 or 12 years has stood.
47:57
Speaker 2: Up for me.
47:58
Speaker 5: Right.
47:58
Speaker 15: I didn't want it to be one of those people
48:00
Speaker 15: that was laughing behind my back anyway. And so for
48:03
Speaker 15: like that, that piece of it wasn't like it just
48:05
Speaker 15: kind of was what it was. It just added to
48:07
Speaker 15: the rest of it. But that that part of it
48:09
Speaker 15: wasn't that bad.
48:10
Speaker 1: Did Ryan Clark contribute to Ryan Clark getting fired?
48:14
Speaker 2: I thought about it a lot.
48:15
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is were there moments when
48:17
Speaker 1: you confused being authentic with believing you could say or
48:20
Speaker 1: do anything because you thought you was that valuable?
48:23
Speaker 5: No. Never.
48:25
Speaker 2: I think you weigh it every time.
48:26
Speaker 5: Right.
48:27
Speaker 15: I think I think every conversation you have, you legitimately
48:32
Speaker 15: have to think to yourself, what could be the consequences
48:37
Speaker 15: of this in, you know, Colin Kaepernick's all over. You know,
48:41
Speaker 15: this week he released his book in 2016. I was
48:44
Speaker 15: doing Mike and Mike and the week before Mike Greenberg wore.
48:49
Speaker 15: I forget the quarterback's name. I think his name is
48:51
Speaker 15: maybe Trevor Simeon or something. He went to. northwestern and
48:55
Speaker 15: he played for denver and he was having like a
48:57
Speaker 15: good year so mike so greeny wore his jersey on
49:00
Speaker 15: air well the next week i wore colin kaepernick jersey
49:04
Speaker 15: on it right and that was during the time he
49:06
Speaker 15: was protesting i also believed there needed to be a
49:10
Speaker 15: change in this country in police brutality directed toward people
49:14
Speaker 15: of color and so i i agreed with him and
49:18
Speaker 15: you know i get off of the set that day
49:20
Speaker 15: and i get a call and they're like um you
49:22
Speaker 15: can't do that and i was like i get it
49:25
Speaker 15: i understand he's like you know i said but greeny
49:27
Speaker 15: wore a jersey the week before and they said yeah
49:30
Speaker 15: but you know what wearing that jersey signified i said
49:33
Speaker 15: exactly which is why i wore it um before i
49:36
Speaker 15: did that i talked to the people in my house
49:38
Speaker 15: though Right. I said, no, there could be a consequence
49:41
Speaker 15: from this. I told my wife, there could be fallout
49:46
Speaker 15: from this if I do this. Are you comfortable with
49:49
Speaker 15: those consequences? And I've probably gotten further away from asking
49:53
Speaker 15: that question. And now you kind of just ask yourself.
49:56
Speaker 15: But as more conversation started to be had, I said
50:01
Speaker 15: this on our show, Stephen A, man, took me to
50:02
Speaker 15: lunch before last season, sat me down. And he was like, RC,
50:06
Speaker 15: you need to go have some meetings with certain people.
50:09
Speaker 15: And he told me, you know, you said, this thing
50:12
Speaker 15: in support of Andrew Reese and that rough Andrew Reese
50:15
Speaker 15: and that ruffled a lot of feathers or you said
50:18
Speaker 15: this and that you know you don't have you know
50:20
Speaker 15: not everybody's your fan there and so I tried to
50:23
Speaker 15: then go and build those relationships and and share how
50:28
Speaker 15: I thought about things but it was kind of already
50:31
Speaker 15: too late but definitely right you you sit around and
50:35
Speaker 15: you go what could I have done differently to not
50:40
Speaker 15: be in this position and i can't make myself any
50:43
Speaker 15: different yeah right i can't muffle myself i'm also not
50:48
Speaker 15: going to dance right i'm not going to start i'm
50:51
Speaker 15: not going to start saying that things in our community
50:55
Speaker 15: aren't important or they have we haven't been wrong and
51:00
Speaker 15: let me be very clear about this i don't believe
51:02
Speaker 15: that everything black is right mm-hmm Like, I don't. Like,
51:05
Speaker 15: sometimes we are wrong. Sometimes we have to hold ourselves accountable.
51:09
Speaker 15: And I think we all try to do that as
51:12
Speaker 15: much as we possibly can, but we also aren't always wrong.
51:15
Speaker 2: But would you ever want to be in a place
51:18
Speaker 2: again where you can't be yourself?
51:20
Speaker 14: No.
51:20
Speaker 2: Where you can't wear a jersey? Where you can't give
51:22
Speaker 2: your true, honest opinion on how you feel about what's
51:25
Speaker 2: going on in the WNBA or the NBA or the
51:27
Speaker 2: NFL or whatever it may be? No, I wouldn't. But
51:31
Speaker 2: it almost feels like you had to bite your tongue.
51:34
Speaker 2: In some ways. And you doing this the way that
51:37
Speaker 2: you're doing it now is almost like a release. It's
51:40
Speaker 2: almost like a freedom.
51:41
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's a there's a freedom in it for sure.
51:45
Speaker 15: But there's also for me now, the understanding of the separation.
51:52
Speaker 23: Right.
51:53
Speaker 15: Like I started to pivot sports show because I knew
51:56
Speaker 15: I'd miss talking about football.
51:58
Speaker 5: Right.
51:59
Speaker 7: Like.
51:59
Speaker 2: If that was the obvious pivot, though, no pun intended.
52:02
Speaker 7: Yeah.
52:02
Speaker 15: Like if you but if you wanted to hurt me,
52:04
Speaker 15: just be like, bro, we're going to take this touch
52:06
Speaker 15: screen away from you.
52:08
Speaker 14: Right.
52:08
Speaker 15: Because like it's all I've I've loved football, you know,
52:12
Speaker 15: and just to get this, you know, and I say
52:13
Speaker 15: this all the time to all of us. We have kids.
52:16
Speaker 7: Right.
52:17
Speaker 15: Football until I had kids was the only thing I
52:21
Speaker 15: ever loved without reciprocation.
52:24
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
52:25
Speaker 15: Like the first time I touched it, I was like, man,
52:26
Speaker 15: I know exactly what to do with that. And I
52:28
Speaker 15: want to do this the rest of my life. Obviously,
52:30
Speaker 15: you can't.
52:31
Speaker 5: Right.
52:31
Speaker 15: But and so transitioning into what I did gave me
52:35
Speaker 15: a piece of that to have. And as much as
52:38
Speaker 15: we can talk football on our show or on our podcast,
52:41
Speaker 15: you can't do it to the level where we're able
52:45
Speaker 15: to do it now on the Pivot Sports Show.
52:46
Speaker 18: Mm hmm.
52:47
Speaker 5: Right.
52:47
Speaker 15: You don't have now we got the NFL footage because
52:49
Speaker 15: of our relationship with NFL films. Now I can do
52:52
Speaker 15: touch screens. We can do all those things. And I
52:55
Speaker 15: want that to be that thing. And then I have
52:58
Speaker 15: the pivot as well. And so now these things I'm
53:00
Speaker 15: passionate about and these things that I believe are part
53:04
Speaker 15: of my purpose. I get to do that, too. I'm
53:07
Speaker 15: only going to tell the truth. And there were times
53:10
Speaker 15: when I was there, especially think 2017.
53:16
Speaker 2: Where we'd have.
53:16
Speaker 15: Production meetings and they would ask me about something, right?
53:20
Speaker 15: Because that's when the protests were going on. That's when
53:22
Speaker 15: you were hearing things from the highest office in the country.
53:25
Speaker 15: And they'd ask me in the production meeting, I'd give
53:28
Speaker 15: my answer and they'd tell me, well, we ain't finna
53:30
Speaker 15: ask you, right? Like you won't be involved in that segment,
53:34
Speaker 15: which probably helped me, especially at that time, because they
53:37
Speaker 15: knew that what I was going to say wasn't going
53:40
Speaker 15: to be the popular thing. Now you fast forward to
53:43
Speaker 15: 2020 and when some of that had switched and they
53:47
Speaker 15: calling me to be on TV every day because they
53:49
Speaker 15: know what I thought, they know what I felt. And
53:51
Speaker 15: if you remember at that time, it was starting to
53:53
Speaker 15: be acceptable to feel the way we did, you know?
53:56
Speaker 15: And so there were all of these things that, that
53:58
Speaker 15: went on and I kind of understood them. I probably
54:03
Speaker 15: didn't weigh them as heavily Charlemagne as I should have.
54:06
Speaker 15: And then now you kind of understand where we are,
54:09
Speaker 15: who we are, but having your own thing, there's so
54:12
Speaker 15: much power in that. There's only one thing that you.
54:14
Speaker 4: Said I didn't like.
54:15
Speaker 1: You said that you felt like you couldn't be too black.
54:18
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. I did not
54:21
Speaker 1: understand that. I can explain to you.
54:24
Speaker 15: Once this thing happened, people in my circle, people close
54:29
Speaker 15: to me, they hear things. And you hear them, and
54:34
Speaker 15: because they love you, they tell you.
54:35
Speaker 2: Honestly. Honestly.
54:37
Speaker 15: I sometimes believe part of love is probably being like,
54:41
Speaker 15: I know him so well, I won't share this thing.
54:45
Speaker 15: Because I know how he is.
54:46
Speaker 16: Right?
54:46
Speaker 15: I'm going to protect him from himself.
54:49
Speaker 7: That's real. You know?
54:50
Speaker 15: I only say that, or I said that thing, because
54:55
Speaker 15: it was a direct.
54:56
Speaker 2: Quote from someone.
54:57
Speaker 4: That you were being too black.
54:58
Speaker 7: Yes.
54:59
Speaker 4: Got you.
54:59
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying?
55:01
Speaker 15: It wasn't me making this thing up or pulling this
55:04
Speaker 15: thing out of thin air and saying... man, I just
55:07
Speaker 15: felt like I was too black. It was said that
55:10
Speaker 15: I was, right? And so when it's said, it's like, oh, yeah,
55:15
Speaker 15: this is the thing. And, you know, it's so crazy
55:19
Speaker 15: because I said that on our episode. And what happens
55:23
Speaker 15: is in 50 minutes, people like pull these little pieces
55:27
Speaker 15: from it, right? Like the big thing was that I
55:29
Speaker 15: cried about losing a job, but I didn't, right? I
55:33
Speaker 15: was talking for 50 minutes and the only moment that
55:37
Speaker 15: made me emotional was talking about, like, people like y'all or, like,
55:42
Speaker 15: people when I'm walking down the street who tell me
55:43
Speaker 15: they proud of me. You know what I'm saying? Who
55:46
Speaker 15: tell me, like, because you do your job the way
55:50
Speaker 15: you do it and the way you represent us, that
55:54
Speaker 15: matters to us. I talked for 49 other minutes or
55:58
Speaker 15: 48 other minutes about the job and I never got emotional.
56:01
Speaker 16: Right?
56:01
Speaker 15: I understood what that was. But I don't... When you come...
56:06
Speaker 15: if you don't come from like where we come from,
56:08
Speaker 15: you don't understand what it means to like have the
56:13
Speaker 15: respect of people you care about, right? Of, you know
56:17
Speaker 15: what I mean? Like when I go to church, like
56:19
Speaker 15: I'm walking out of church and people are stopping me
56:22
Speaker 15: and telling me like they love what I do and
56:24
Speaker 15: they appreciate the way I represent. They tell me don't change.
56:28
Speaker 15: Like that matters to me. And so when we got
56:30
Speaker 15: to that part of the show, When Fred asked the question,
56:35
Speaker 15: because like the show wasn't scripted, I wasn't really necessarily
56:37
Speaker 15: ready for it. And it made me think about like
56:42
Speaker 15: all those moments that leave me with pride and all
56:45
Speaker 15: those moments that made me feel like who I was
56:49
Speaker 15: was acceptable. You know, I grew up on the West
56:52
Speaker 15: Bank and I don't know if it's like this in
56:55
Speaker 15: places you from. Like, if you're not from, like, the
56:58
Speaker 15: city city, city people act funny with you.
57:01
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
57:02
Speaker 15: Like, they'll make the distinction. Like, one of my homeboys
57:04
Speaker 15: called me the other day. He coaches at Pittsburgh, and
57:07
Speaker 15: he said he met this woman, and she was from
57:10
Speaker 15: New Orleans. And he told her, he's like, oh, man,
57:12
Speaker 15: my best friend.
57:14
Speaker 7: From New Orleans.
57:15
Speaker 15: And, like, he told her, like, the exact city I'm from.
57:18
Speaker 15: And she was like, that ain't New Orleans. Like, that's
57:19
Speaker 15: a real thing.
57:21
Speaker 5: Right?
57:21
Speaker 2: You're from New York. You're from Queens. You're from New York.
57:23
Speaker 2: But if you're from Albany or Binghamton, they don't consider
57:26
Speaker 2: that New York.
57:27
Speaker 5: Right.
57:27
Speaker 15: And so, I live, Jess, I live 10 minutes from
57:30
Speaker 15: the Superdome. Like, that's where I grew up.
57:33
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
57:34
Speaker 15: But because there's a bridge in between.
57:35
Speaker 6: Right.
57:35
Speaker 15: They like, nah, you ain't from there. And so, man,
57:38
Speaker 15: I went home and I remember I went to see
57:41
Speaker 15: DeJounte Murray play for the Pelicans. So I'm sitting courtside
57:44
Speaker 15: and this dude from the other side yells out. He
57:46
Speaker 15: was like, you ain't from the West Bank. You from
57:48
Speaker 15: New Orleans. I damn near cried. And I know that's
57:50
Speaker 15: like a simple thing to other people. But to me,
57:53
Speaker 15: when you grow up, everybody telling you that you ain't
57:56
Speaker 15: from a place.
57:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.
57:58
Speaker 15: Whether it's your work, the way you represent or whatever
58:01
Speaker 15: it is, like all that's forgotten. And you're like, nah, man,
58:03
Speaker 15: you represent us. It's like all those things were important
58:05
Speaker 15: to me. And so it was cool to get a
58:07
Speaker 15: chance to say, to, you know, to do that. But
58:10
Speaker 15: the other piece of it was like, if you've seen, man,
58:13
Speaker 15: like I've been super quiet.
58:15
Speaker 5: Right.
58:15
Speaker 2: Like we did that show and I just went to work.
58:17
Speaker 5: Right.
58:18
Speaker 15: All these shows had think pieces about what happened on
58:20
Speaker 15: our show or what happened. And, you know, we in
58:23
Speaker 15: a world where people feel like you got to shoot
58:25
Speaker 15: back everything. And trust me, like that is my personality.
58:28
Speaker 5: Right.
58:29
Speaker 15: Like I'm very comfortable with combat, you know, but you
58:33
Speaker 15: start looking at the landscape. And my thing is, like,
58:36
Speaker 15: I sat back from it and I was like, I
58:38
Speaker 15: don't want to be like that person.
58:41
Speaker 5: Right.
58:41
Speaker 15: I don't want to feel like I'm always into something,
58:44
Speaker 15: you know. And then, you know, you learn that like
58:47
Speaker 15: people are just doing that to drive views. People are
58:51
Speaker 15: just doing that to get clicks.
58:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.
58:53
Speaker 15: Why am I going to give you a second layer
58:55
Speaker 15: of a conversation? So I just pull back from all that.
58:58
Speaker 15: You know, I was very grateful for what y'all did
59:02
Speaker 15: the day after and subsequent days and helping me and
59:06
Speaker 15: supporting me. And I wanted to come on the show,
59:09
Speaker 15: but I knew. I had emotion I couldn't talk about.
59:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
59:12
Speaker 5: Right.
59:13
Speaker 15: And I didn't want to come on here and it
59:14
Speaker 15: had to be all about what happened to me because
59:16
Speaker 15: truly what it's about now is what's happening to me.
59:20
Speaker 4: You knew Netflix was coming.
59:21
Speaker 2: Yep.
59:23
Speaker 14: Yeah.
59:23
Speaker 2: I mean, I text you about that a while ago.
59:26
Speaker 5: Yeah.
59:26
Speaker 15: You know what I mean? And so just trying to
59:28
Speaker 15: figure out what our next move was.
59:29
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
59:30
Speaker 1: Did ESPN teach you the difference between being celebrated by
59:33
Speaker 1: an institution and being valued by an institution?
59:36
Speaker 15: Yes. Um, behind, behind the scenes, to be honest with you,
59:43
Speaker 15: I was neither.
59:43
Speaker 2: Hmm. Hmm.
59:45
Speaker 4: I don't feel like you were celebrated or valued.
59:47
Speaker 2: By who? Wow. Right now.
59:51
Speaker 15: Now, if you talk to the people that dealt with
59:53
Speaker 15: me like this, absolutely. Whether you're talking about Stephen, a, uh,
1:00:00
Speaker 15: dano marcus mina laura showrunner from nfl live lidel producer
1:00:05
Speaker 15: and showrunner of monday night countdown uh you know aisha
1:00:09
Speaker 15: marco mark eisman them people absolutely all the time right
1:00:14
Speaker 15: this can't go without you hey we could do this
1:00:16
Speaker 15: because you have this skill set like all of those
1:00:18
Speaker 15: things but while you're doing that you're constantly hearing that
1:00:23
Speaker 15: such and such doesn't like you right and And if
1:00:27
Speaker 15: you look at my career there outside of like earning
1:00:32
Speaker 15: certain jobs, I was never pushed to the forefront to
1:00:35
Speaker 15: be the guy.
1:00:36
Speaker 5: Right.
1:00:36
Speaker 15: I was never given like the leeway of now we
1:00:40
Speaker 15: got you. Like you even look at some of the
1:00:44
Speaker 15: scandals or like some of the things and issues they've had.
1:00:48
Speaker 15: And you think about like some of the stuff that
1:00:51
Speaker 15: became mostly for me, it was like social media fodder.
1:00:54
Speaker 15: They never said. Ryan Clark's our guy. They never put
1:00:58
Speaker 15: out a statement that we're standing behind him. They've done
1:01:01
Speaker 15: that for other people. They never did that for me.
1:01:04
Speaker 15: And so from a celebration standpoint, no, I think what
1:01:08
Speaker 15: was celebrated about me was more the people who viewed
1:01:11
Speaker 15: the shows and understood my value there.
1:01:15
Speaker 6: Well, people love you.
1:01:16
Speaker 15: Thank you.
1:01:16
Speaker 6: And they trust your voice.
1:01:18
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:01:18
Speaker 6: And congratulations.
1:01:19
Speaker 15: Thank you so much. I appreciate y'all.

Speaker 25: at you and go i want to be like.
1:01:59
Speaker 2: You ll cool baby talk to me What's up, Lo?
1:02:02
Speaker 6: All right, y'all.
1:02:03
Speaker 19: So, hey.
1:02:05
Speaker 20: So, Diddy's, there are some civil attorneys that are trying
1:02:09
Speaker 20: to back out of a fight with Diddy. Basically, what's
1:02:12
Speaker 20: happening is, y'all remember when Diddy filed the defamation lawsuit?
1:02:16
Speaker 19: It was a $ 100 million lawsuit.
1:02:17
Speaker 20: You guys probably won't remember the names, but he filed
1:02:20
Speaker 20: it against a guy named Courtney Burgess and the attorney
1:02:24
Speaker 20: Ariel Mitchell. Now, this is one of the cases that
1:02:26
Speaker 20: a judge just recently told Diddy's legal team that they
1:02:29
Speaker 20: would actually allow To move forward in court, which is
1:02:32
Speaker 20: a big win because defamation is, you know, it's pretty
1:02:35
Speaker 20: tough to get a judge to be like, OK, yeah,
1:02:36
Speaker 20: I think you have a case.
1:02:37
Speaker 19: So this case is moving forward.
1:02:38
Speaker 20: And now the attorneys that are fighting the case for
1:02:40
Speaker 20: Diddy are like, we don't want to be his attorneys anymore.
1:02:43
Speaker 20: They say that they haven't been paid in over six
1:02:46
Speaker 20: months and that Diddy is, they allege that Diddy is
1:02:48
Speaker 20: difficult to work with, that there is a breakdown in
1:02:51
Speaker 20: communication and they are just over it.
1:02:53
Speaker 2: So Diddy's attorneys are saying they don't want to do it.
1:02:56
Speaker 19: Yes, in this case. Now Diddy's team sees it a
1:02:59
Speaker 19: bit differently.
1:03:01
Speaker 20: They're saying, so I talked to Diddy's rep who tells
1:03:04
Speaker 20: me that, who sent a statement from Diddy and the
1:03:07
Speaker 20: statement says, I made the decision to switch lawyers because
1:03:09
Speaker 20: I won't let anybody take advantage of me by overcharging
1:03:11
Speaker 20: me and running up bills that were never approved. This
1:03:14
Speaker 20: is strictly a business matter and any talk about unpaid
1:03:18
Speaker 20: fees is just a part of our dispute over those
1:03:20
Speaker 20: unapproved charges.
1:03:22
Speaker 19: So they're seeing, I don't know, they're seeing.
1:03:24
Speaker 20: It completely differently here, but I mean, it picked up
1:03:27
Speaker 20: because It seemed like on the civil side, he was
1:03:29
Speaker 20: kind of making some progress.
1:03:30
Speaker 19: And now it's like, oh, wait, the attorneys don't want
1:03:32
Speaker 19: to work with you. You're difficult.
1:03:33
Speaker 2: What's going on? I do have a question. If you
1:03:35
Speaker 2: do know, you might not even know. So much was
1:03:37
Speaker 2: said about Diddy. What did that person say that made
1:03:40
Speaker 2: it to fame? You know what I mean? Because there's
1:03:42
Speaker 2: been a zillion and one things said about Diddy. But
1:03:44
Speaker 2: what did that guy said that was so far?
1:03:48
Speaker 19: Yeah, so he.
1:03:52
Speaker 2: If you don't know, I'll look it up later.
1:03:54
Speaker 23: No, no, no.
1:03:54
Speaker 19: I have it.
1:03:55
Speaker 20: So back in 2024, Courtney Burgess, he appeared on News
1:04:01
Speaker 20: Nation and he doubled down on his claims that he
1:04:05
Speaker 20: is in possession of a dozen flash drives that contain
1:04:09
Speaker 20: Diddy's alleged sex tapes. Now, the videos that he alleged,
1:04:14
Speaker 20: he said that they featured male and female celebrities as
1:04:17
Speaker 20: well as a few minors.
1:04:18
Speaker 2: I remember him saying that.
1:04:20
Speaker 20: He said, Yeah, he says all of these people appear
1:04:23
Speaker 20: on the video allegedly to be under the influence.
1:04:25
Speaker 2: And then he's saying it doesn't exist.
1:04:26
Speaker 20: So he was going on outlets. Yeah, he was going
1:04:28
Speaker 20: on outlets and talking about this. And Courtney, like, he
1:04:31
Speaker 20: kept doubling down, saying that, like, I can prove this.
1:04:33
Speaker 20: I can verify that they exist.
1:04:35
Speaker 6: All the things.
1:04:36
Speaker 2: Gotcha.
1:04:36
Speaker 6: Then it moved forward.
1:04:37
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
1:04:39
Speaker 19: All right.
1:04:40
Speaker 20: Now, moving forward, switching gears a bit. So Memphis Bleak
1:04:44
Speaker 20: sat down with D1. I know we just had D1
1:04:46
Speaker 20: on the show for his podcast, The Shift. And now
1:04:49
Speaker 20: they sat down on the platform and they had a
1:04:51
Speaker 20: conversation about insecurities.
1:04:54
Speaker 19: It was it was a wide ranging conversation, but they
1:04:56
Speaker 19: got into insecurities.
1:04:58
Speaker 20: And D1 is talking to Memphis Bleak about what his
1:05:01
Speaker 20: biggest insecurity was.
1:05:02
Speaker 19: Let's take a listen.
1:05:03
Speaker 2: Did you have any insecurities as a child? Of course.
1:05:06
Speaker 2: That's why I wore a hat.
1:05:07
Speaker 6: I thought chicks ain't f * * * ed with
1:05:09
Speaker 6: the bald head guys.
1:05:09
Speaker 3: Whoa!
1:05:10
Speaker 2: Wait, you been bald since you was a kid? Yeah,

Speaker 25: Up since about like 18. So the do-rag was covering
1:05:16
Speaker 25: that up.
1:05:17
Speaker 2: Oh, that do-rag, okay.
1:05:19
Speaker 25: The do-rag was hiding it, hiding the pain, but... I'll
1:05:22
Speaker 25: be messing with my daughter. She'll be like, Daddy, you
1:05:24
Speaker 25: bought your baby girl. Let me hold some of what
1:05:26
Speaker 25: you got. I'll show you what I do. My wife
1:05:29
Speaker 25: bought the confidence of me not wearing my hat. Before,
1:05:32
Speaker 25: it was like I had to impress. I felt like
1:05:33
Speaker 25: I had to impress all the women in the world.
1:05:35
Speaker 2: Now, it's only one. She love me.
1:05:38
Speaker 6: That's amazing.
1:05:38
Speaker 2: It ain't the bald head. It's the size of the brain.
1:05:42
Speaker 1: I don't be knowing if those things are photoshopped. When
1:05:46
Speaker 1: you see Bleak in person, you know what? He be
1:05:47
Speaker 1: having a hat on in person. Without the hat on
1:05:50
Speaker 1: in pictures?
1:05:51
Speaker 6: It was recently. We recently just saw what his head
1:05:54
Speaker 6: looked like, right?
1:05:55
Speaker 4: Like last year.
1:05:56
Speaker 2: Without the hat on in pictures?
1:05:58
Speaker 19: I don't remember that. I was like, I don't think
1:06:00
Speaker 19: I've ever.
1:06:00
Speaker 6: Seen a hat on. What did you say?
1:06:03
Speaker 2: Brainiac without the hat on in pictures. Okay?
1:06:06
Speaker 7: I hear you low.
1:06:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, I heard you.
1:06:07
Speaker 19: Yeah, I just saw it for the first time.
1:06:09
Speaker 20: Charlamagne, did you ever? Yeah, I'm like, I never thought
1:06:12
Speaker 20: about it, but I don't think I've seen him much
1:06:13
Speaker 20: without the hat. But Charlamagne.
1:06:15
Speaker 5: Ma'am.
1:06:17
Speaker 19: How did you feel when you first went bald?
1:06:19
Speaker 1: I got a perfectly fine bald head. I don't have
1:06:21
Speaker 1: a Neo skull or a Memphis Bleak skull.
1:06:24
Speaker 6: Damn, how Neo get into what you mean?
1:06:26
Speaker 19: It don't even got to be the head size.
1:06:29
Speaker 2: Yes, it is. It's all about the head size.
1:06:32
Speaker 19: So just going from hair and the hairline.
1:06:34
Speaker 2: To none at all is a big thing. It's either
1:06:38
Speaker 2: the size or the shape.
1:06:40
Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
1:06:40
Speaker 4: That's what it is when it comes to the bald head.
1:06:42
Speaker 2: Bald heads look fine on some people, and some people,
1:06:44
Speaker 2: their heads just look too big.
1:06:45
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
1:06:46
Speaker 2: They look A.I.
1:06:48
Speaker 6: Damn.
1:06:50
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, man, they playing with him.
1:06:52
Speaker 1: You know how Judge Judy be looking extra thick in
1:06:54
Speaker 1: them pictures?
1:06:55
Speaker 7: Yes.
1:06:55
Speaker 1: Sometimes they be doing that to people's skulls on social
1:06:58
Speaker 1: media so you don't know what's what. Especially if people
1:07:00
Speaker 1: that have historically worn a hat and you see them
1:07:03
Speaker 1: with the hat, you like, whoa.
1:07:04
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
1:07:05
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:07:06
Speaker 10: Like.
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Come on, we're not going to sit here and act
1:07:08
Speaker 1: like there's not levels to this bald head stuff now.
1:07:11
Speaker 20: There's not, but I just know, because every now and
1:07:13
Speaker 20: then you let your hairline grow back a little bit
1:07:15
Speaker 20: just to feel.
1:07:16
Speaker 24: It, you know?
1:07:16
Speaker 19: So I didn't know, like, if you.
1:07:18
Speaker 2: He don't let it grow back. No, sometimes you.
1:07:22
Speaker 20: Can see where it would have been at all the
1:07:24
Speaker 20: way back here, and I'm like, he probably just wanted
1:07:26
Speaker 20: to feel closer to what he doesn't have anymore.
1:07:28
Speaker 4: No, that's just when I need to go get a haircut.
1:07:30
Speaker 15: Laura funny.
1:07:31
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:07:31
Speaker 1: And I don't like her talking because she just got
1:07:34
Speaker 1: her edges back.
1:07:35
Speaker 5: Wow.
1:07:35
Speaker 2: You've been working up here long enough. You've been working
1:07:38
Speaker 2: up here long enough.
1:07:38
Speaker 19: First of all, can we talk about where the edges
1:07:40
Speaker 19: went and why?
1:07:41
Speaker 15: You've been working up here long enough.
1:07:42
Speaker 6: Who was stressing me out?
1:07:42
Speaker 2: I don't know who that man was that was stressing
1:07:44
Speaker 2: you out.
1:07:45
Speaker 7: Okay?
1:07:46
Speaker 20: It's the one screaming on the other side of the phone.
1:07:48
Speaker 1: Don't blame that on me. You came in bald-headed, but
1:07:50
Speaker 1: now you got hair. So what does that tell me?
1:07:53
Speaker 1: That tells me that you've been flourishing in this environment.
1:07:56
Speaker 7: Let's move on.
1:07:56
Speaker 16: Let's see.
1:07:57
Speaker 20: You get upset when you start talking about his hairline
1:07:59
Speaker 20: fighting back. He loves talking about other people's hair fighting back.
1:08:02
Speaker 20: Nobody want to talk about the army of resistance that
1:08:05
Speaker 20: your hairline be putting up every other week before you
1:08:07
Speaker 20: get that thing shaved off.
1:08:08
Speaker 6: Let's move on.
1:08:10
Speaker 20: I wanted to play this last clip because Memphis Week
1:08:12
Speaker 20: talked about his wife and her only being one woman.
1:08:17
Speaker 2: I got to.
1:08:17
Speaker 25: Change the perception of what these kids think life is.
1:08:21
Speaker 25: That's a part of why I even got married. Because
1:08:23
Speaker 25: I look around in my family, it's like no one
1:08:25
Speaker 25: in my family ever been married. Are you kidding me? Oh,
1:08:28
Speaker 25: I broke one curse of financial. Let me break that.
1:08:32
Speaker 25: Let me show my son that you ain't got to
1:08:34
Speaker 25: be a hoe your whole life. It's at a time
1:08:38
Speaker 25: you're going to need that one that's going to love you.
1:08:40
Speaker 25: You know what I'm saying? Because everybody, they'll party with you.
1:08:43
Speaker 25: Everybody don't love you. There's a lot of women that
1:08:46
Speaker 25: say it. Like me, I'm not a person that believes
1:08:48
Speaker 25: that word, love. Don't tell me you love me.
1:08:50
Speaker 15: Show me.
1:08:51
Speaker 2: Show me. He ain't lying.
1:08:53

1:09:13

1:10:59
Speaker 4: Now, J.D.
1:10:59
Speaker 1: Vance was on the All In podcast yesterday and he
1:11:02
Speaker 1: was speaking about the midterm elections. And he, of course,
1:11:05
Speaker 1: was making the case for Republicans to keep control of Congress.
1:11:09
Speaker 1: He talked about what the Trump administration believes it has accomplished.
1:11:13
Speaker 1: He talked about tax cuts and immigration enforcement, the border.
1:11:17
Speaker 2: And he acknowledged that there is still work to.
1:11:19
Speaker 4: Do, you think?
1:11:21
Speaker 1: And he asked voters to give them another chance. Let's
1:11:24
Speaker 1: go to the All In podcast for the report, please.
1:11:26
Speaker 24: There's a lot of good that's been done, but there's
1:11:28
Speaker 24: a lot of work left to do. Don't give power
1:11:31
Speaker 24: to the people who cause the problems that we're fixing.
1:11:34
Speaker 24: Give us another chance or give us another couple of
1:11:36
Speaker 24: years to continue to work on the amazing things that
1:11:38
Speaker 24: we've been doing for the past two years.
1:11:41
Speaker 2: Play that one more time, please.
1:11:43
Speaker 24: There's a lot of good that's been done, but there's
1:11:45
Speaker 24: a lot of work left to do. Don't give power
1:11:48
Speaker 24: to the people who cause the problems that we're fixing.
1:11:51
Speaker 24: Give us another chance or give us another couple of
1:11:53
Speaker 24: years to continue to work on the amazing things that
1:11:56
Speaker 24: we've been doing for the past two years.
1:11:58
Speaker 4: Another chance.
1:11:59
Speaker 1: Don't give power to the people who cause the problems
1:12:03
Speaker 1: we're fixing. I don't know if they know or not,
1:12:06
Speaker 1: but they broke it. OK, they're the ones who caused
1:12:08
Speaker 1: these problems. OK, Vice President J.D. Vance, I have one
1:12:12
Speaker 1: question for the Trump administration.
1:12:14
Speaker 2: Just one.
1:12:16
Speaker 1: What happened with the chance you already have? OK, you're
1:12:19
Speaker 1: the vice president right now. Donald Trump is the president
1:12:22
Speaker 1: right now. Republicans control Congress right now. I'm not the
1:12:25
Speaker 1: highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I
1:12:27
Speaker 1: the strongest Avenger. But based on my calculations, this is
1:12:31
Speaker 1: the chance. OK, so once again, I think voters have
1:12:34
Speaker 1: every right to ask a very basic question before anybody
1:12:36
Speaker 1: starts talking about another couple of years. What happened with
1:12:40
Speaker 1: the time we've already given you? OK, let's take party
1:12:43
Speaker 1: out of it.
1:12:44
Speaker 5: All right.
1:12:44
Speaker 1: Put your pom poms down. Take your jerseys off. OK,
1:12:47
Speaker 1: take Republican and Democrat out of it. If you ask
1:12:50
Speaker 1: people for power.
1:12:52
Speaker 5: All right.
1:12:52
Speaker 1: Tell them what you're going to do with said power.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: And then they give you that power. Eventually, there has
1:12:58
Speaker 1: to be an accounting. OK, you know what I'm thinking
1:13:01
Speaker 1: about as a voter. What did you promise? What did
1:13:03
Speaker 1: you deliver? What didn't you deliver? What got better? What
1:13:07
Speaker 1: got worse? Is it working or is it not working?
1:13:09
Speaker 1: If the Trump administration believes it has accomplishments it can
1:13:13
Speaker 1: point to, then point to them.
1:13:14
Speaker 2: OK, make the case.
1:13:15
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn about you pleading for another chance.
1:13:17
Speaker 1: If you were doing the things.
1:13:19
Speaker 2: You promised, you wouldn't even have to ask.
1:13:21
Speaker 1: It would be our pleasure, OK, to vote for you
1:13:25
Speaker 1: again if you were actually doing the work.
1:13:28
Speaker 2: But guess what?
1:13:28
Speaker 1: Voters heard promises about affordability. We heard promises about lowering prices.
1:13:32
Speaker 1: We heard promises about affordable housing. We heard promises about
1:13:35
Speaker 1: peace and ending wars. Voters heard promises about making life
1:13:39
Speaker 1: better for working Americans.
1:13:40
Speaker 4: And none of those promises were kept. So don't ask
1:13:43
Speaker 4: for more time from voters.
1:13:44
Speaker 2: OK, address.
1:13:45
Speaker 1: Those promises now the floor is yours. Y'all actually have
1:13:49
Speaker 1: all the power as we speak. I don't want to
1:13:52
Speaker 1: hear how terrible, you know, Democrats were. OK, I don't
1:13:57
Speaker 1: want to hear about the Biden administration. I don't want
1:13:59
Speaker 1: to hear about, you know, what the previous administration did.
1:14:01
Speaker 1: We voted based on what has happened on your watch.
1:14:05
Speaker 1: That's the responsibility that comes with deceit. OK, at some
1:14:08
Speaker 1: point you can't can't keep campaigning. against the people who
1:14:12
Speaker 1: aren't in power you have to govern as the people
1:14:14
Speaker 1: who are okay that's why i said put your palm
1:14:17
Speaker 1: palms down all right this isn't about what team you
1:14:19
Speaker 1: represent voters we don't owe politicians loyalty okay politicians owe
1:14:24
Speaker 1: voters results whether you voted for them or not okay
1:14:27
Speaker 1: if you want credit when prices come down you have
1:14:29
Speaker 1: to answer questions when prices go up if you want
1:14:31
Speaker 1: credit when the economy is strong you have to answer
1:14:33
Speaker 1: questions when people say they aren't feeling that in their
1:14:36
Speaker 1: pockets if you campaign OK, on ending wars and not
1:14:40
Speaker 1: starting no new wars. Voters have every right to be
1:14:43
Speaker 1: mad when you get us in new wars. OK, those
1:14:46
Speaker 1: aren't attacks. Those are performance questions and voters should ask
1:14:50
Speaker 1: them of everybody. OK, not based on political parties, not
1:14:54
Speaker 1: based on who you hate, based on what was promised
1:14:57
Speaker 1: and what was delivered, period.
1:14:59
Speaker 2: That's why I give us another chance.
1:15:01
Speaker 1: It's just a stupid thing for a sitting vice president
1:15:04
Speaker 1: to say when he's sitting in the White House right
1:15:07
Speaker 1: now with all the power. OK, you have a chance
1:15:10
Speaker 1: right now. So tell this administration to use it.
1:15:14
Speaker 2: Govern.
1:15:14
Speaker 7: All right.
1:15:15
Speaker 1: Deliver whatever you can deliver. Deliver what you promised. OK, because,
1:15:19
Speaker 1: you know, asking voters for another chance. When you should
1:15:23
Speaker 1: be making the case for what you did with this one,
1:15:26
Speaker 1: that'll earn you the biggest hee-haw every time. Please give J.D.
1:15:28
Speaker 1: Vance the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
1:15:31
Speaker 8: Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You
1:15:38
Speaker 8: are the donkey of the day.
1:15:44
Speaker 2: Hee-haw.
1:15:47
Speaker 8: Hee-haw.
1:15:48
Speaker 4: None of this is as complicated as we make it
1:15:49
Speaker 4: out to be, people.
1:15:50
Speaker 2: All right.
1:15:51
Speaker 4: Or as they make it out to be.
1:15:52
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now, when
1:15:54
Speaker 2: we come back, Jess Fix My Mess, 800-585-1051. If you

1:17:04
Speaker 3: So, Jess, you know what I'm calling you about? Because
1:17:06
Speaker 3: I'm like, do you think it makes sense to really, like,
1:17:09
Speaker 3: be there for someone that's in jail, that's incarcerated, that's
1:17:13
Speaker 3: doing a real bid, but at the same time, they're
1:17:15
Speaker 3: going to do an appeal, so you're, like, in hopes
1:17:17
Speaker 3: of the situation? It's not a bad person, but it's like,
1:17:21
Speaker 3: They're a good person that's made a mistake. Like, it's
1:17:23
Speaker 3: not like it's a dusty or like a bum or nothing.
1:17:27
Speaker 3: Just got caught up in a situation defending a best friend.
1:17:31
Speaker 3: And it's like, I know him my whole life. But
1:17:34
Speaker 3: it's like. I'm also trying to focus on myself. Like,
1:17:36
Speaker 3: I'm also trying to, like, elevate, you know, better myself.
1:17:39
Speaker 3: And I'm just like, I don't really know if I
1:17:41
Speaker 3: want that lifestyle no more. Because I'm just like, you know,
1:17:44
Speaker 3: it don't really, it ain't for me. But I don't
1:17:46
Speaker 3: want to seem like I don't, I'm not there for
1:17:48
Speaker 3: the person.
1:17:48
Speaker 7: Like, you know.
1:17:49
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, well, two things can be true at
1:17:51
Speaker 18: the same time. And, you know, two things can happen
1:17:53
Speaker 18: at the same time. You just answer your own question.
1:17:55
Speaker 18: You know, your life, you don't want to. You don't
1:17:57
Speaker 18: want to live the same way that you were living before.
1:17:59
Speaker 18: You know, that was like appealing to you at one point.
1:18:02
Speaker 18: The street dude, not to say in the head bad guy,
1:18:04
Speaker 18: because you can be a street dude.
1:18:06
Speaker 6: And a good guy at the same time.
1:18:08
Speaker 7: Right.
1:18:08
Speaker 6: I know plenty.
1:18:09
Speaker 7: Right.
1:18:09
Speaker 18: Guy with a good heart. Like you said, he's in
1:18:12
Speaker 18: there for something that he was trying to do to
1:18:14
Speaker 18: defend his best friend or whatever. So, yeah, it doesn't
1:18:17
Speaker 18: make him a bad guy. But the consequences of his
1:18:20
Speaker 18: actions led him in prison.
1:18:21
Speaker 6: You feel me? And he's serving a real bid right now.
1:18:24
Speaker 18: Although he's going to appeal, there's no guarantee he's going
1:18:27
Speaker 18: to come home. Now you got your own life. Take
1:18:29
Speaker 18: yourself outside of that. You trying to work toward to
1:18:32
Speaker 18: improve yourself and where you at and you trying to
1:18:35
Speaker 18: flourish and soar. You know, you can still care for him.
1:18:38
Speaker 18: But now listen, are y'all in a relationship?
1:18:40
Speaker 3: We were in a relationship before the situation happened. The
1:18:43
Speaker 3: other day was talking and I was telling him like, um,
1:18:46
Speaker 3: you know, cause I'm like telling him like, I'm eventually
1:18:48
Speaker 3: going to want to, you know, be grown. and be
1:18:50
Speaker 3: having my moments with my, with someone. And so he
1:18:54
Speaker 3: was telling me like, oh, we should get married just
1:18:55
Speaker 3: to have a baby. I'm like, oh no, you definitely
1:18:57
Speaker 3: lost me right there.
1:18:58
Speaker 7: Okay. Boom.
1:18:59
Speaker 6: So there you go right there.
1:19:00
Speaker 18: You got to move on with your life. You can
1:19:03
Speaker 18: check on him. You can, you know, cause you got
1:19:05
Speaker 18: to think about it.
1:19:06
Speaker 15: Don't guilt.
1:19:07
Speaker 18: Don't guilt trip yourself into sticking with him.
1:19:10
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? Just so you won't look
1:19:12
Speaker 6: like a bad person. You got your own life. Unfortunately,
1:19:16
Speaker 6: that's where his life is right now.
1:19:18
Speaker 3: And he made choices, and that's why I always tell
1:19:20
Speaker 3: the people, like, you can't let, I'm always telling people,
1:19:23
Speaker 3: feelings is what gets you in jail. You cannot work
1:19:26
Speaker 3: off your feelings.
1:19:27
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:19:28
Speaker 6: But it's like, you know, I.
1:19:29
Speaker 3: Wanted to be there, but it's like, I don't want
1:19:31
Speaker 3: to put my life on.
1:19:32
Speaker 20: Hold just for one person.
1:19:34
Speaker 3: I just thought this was one experience.
1:19:36
Speaker 6: And then the whole, how old are you?
1:19:38
Speaker 3: I'm 33.
1:19:39
Speaker 2: And I know that if it wasn't me that was in.
1:19:41
Speaker 3: There, he would have not been keeping it, holding it down.
1:19:43
Speaker 3: He probably would have had, like, six. Five babies by now.
1:19:45
Speaker 6: All right, so you got your answer, Buki.
1:19:47
Speaker 2: Keep it moving.
1:19:48
Speaker 6: Keep it moving.
1:19:49
Speaker 18: Because the whole let's get married to have a baby type-ish,
1:19:52
Speaker 18: that don't sit right with me. What you talking about? Nah,
1:19:55
Speaker 18: we're not doing that. You're not even here. You're not
1:19:58
Speaker 18: going to make me a single mother.
1:19:59
Speaker 2: To keep me around.
1:20:03
Speaker 3: If he was El Chapo and the money was right, maybe,
1:20:06
Speaker 3: but your money not like that.
1:20:07
Speaker 18: Girl, even if he was El Chapo, no, girl, because
1:20:10
Speaker 18: then you and your kid would be exposed to that
1:20:14
Speaker 18: life and could get killed any goddamn day. You need
1:20:16
Speaker 18: to change your damn mindset too, but leave that jailbird alone.
1:20:21
Speaker 6: I see what you like.
1:20:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:20:24
Speaker 3: It's okay.
1:20:25
Speaker 7: Okay, okay.
1:20:26
Speaker 3: No, no, no. But for real though, I'm on my
1:20:28
Speaker 3: way to school right now. I'm very studious. But you know,
1:20:31
Speaker 3: sometimes you can't really let light because someone make a
1:20:34
Speaker 3: poor choice. Like it defines their character.
1:20:36
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, you made a choice.
1:20:37
Speaker 3: So you do have to kind of deal with all.
1:20:39
Speaker 19: The consequences that come with it.
1:20:41
Speaker 2: What do you look like, mommy? What do you look like?
1:20:44
Speaker 3: I'm light-skinned, Jamaican and Irish and Chinese.
1:20:47
Speaker 8: Okay.
1:20:48
Speaker 2: How much do you weigh?
1:20:50
Speaker 3: I weigh 165. I went and did two rounds. I
1:20:55
Speaker 3: went to Columbia and VR, so you know.
1:20:57
Speaker 6: Oh, so she got that body there.
1:20:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, so she.
1:21:00
Speaker 6: Paid for it.
1:21:01
Speaker 3: Real New York girl, real Caribbean.
1:21:03
Speaker 13: Girl, but you know.
1:21:04
Speaker 18: She a little Asian-y, little Tahin, little Zing, you know
1:21:09
Speaker 18: what I'm saying?
1:21:09
Speaker 2: She likes Chinese food and jerk chicken. I get you.
1:21:12
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at you.
1:21:13
Speaker 3: You understand? It's so hard to deal. It's crazy, but
1:21:17
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes you grow and you look at things
1:21:19
Speaker 3: differently and you I'm just not there no more. Like,
1:21:22
Speaker 3: now I don't even want a man that's out there
1:21:25
Speaker 3: choosing that path. Like, I'd rather get me someone who's
1:21:27
Speaker 3: clocking in and just, like, really making a difference.
1:21:30
Speaker 5: Yep.
1:21:30
Speaker 7: You know?
1:21:31
Speaker 6: Somebody you ain't got to watch over your shoulder to
1:21:33
Speaker 6: deal with. Yeah, like, it's too much.
1:21:35
Speaker 15: It's too much.
1:21:36
Speaker 6: So, yeah, baby girl, you got your answer.
1:21:38
Speaker 18: And this was confirmation and all the clarity that you need.
1:21:42
Speaker 6: Lita Gallo.

Speaker 18: Bye.
1:21:47
Speaker 2: She was like, how I look, how I weigh. I
1:21:49
Speaker 2: did two rounds. Two rounds. I went twice. A repeat offender.
1:21:52
Speaker 6: I'm a repeat.
1:21:53
Speaker 2: That's right. I lost the weight and then ate it
1:21:56
Speaker 2: back and then got it back and went back. Put
1:21:58

1:23:23
Speaker 18: Okay, all right. Well, that's been a lot of time
1:23:26
Speaker 18: that y'all done spent together. That's been a lot of
1:23:28
Speaker 18: time that y'all, you know, a lot of history that
1:23:29
Speaker 18: y'all got together.
1:23:31
Speaker 6: Almost 30 years knowing.
1:23:32
Speaker 18: A person, 15 years being married to him and everything.
1:23:35
Speaker 18: You know, sometimes, not all marriages, but sometimes people do
1:23:38
Speaker 18: grow apart. Sometimes you need to go to therapy. Sometimes
1:23:41
Speaker 18: you got to get that spark back. You know, what
1:23:43
Speaker 18: do you think either one of y'all may be lacking
1:23:45
Speaker 18: in to make the other, you know, not seem interesting?
1:23:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm curious about because I be thinking,
1:23:52
Speaker 5: I be trying to do like, I be trying to
1:23:54
Speaker 5: talk all the time and get your stuff and it's like,
1:23:57
Speaker 5: I don't know.
1:23:58
Speaker 6: It's hard to get through to him?
1:23:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
1:24:02
Speaker 6: Do you think it's somebody else? Be honest.
1:24:04
Speaker 5: Always, like, always you got that in the back of
1:24:06
Speaker 5: your mind. Like, I don't think it's my dad, but
1:24:09
Speaker 5: he's got a degree.
1:24:10
Speaker 7: That's it.
1:24:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
1:24:12
Speaker 18: And it hurt to think like that, you know what
1:24:14
Speaker 18: I mean? But you got to always be open to that,
1:24:17
Speaker 18: you know?
1:24:18
Speaker 5: It's like, be honest. Like, you know, that's what I'm, like,
1:24:21
Speaker 5: be honest.
1:24:22
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:24:23
Speaker 18: Have you talked to her about therapy, getting some type
1:24:27
Speaker 18: of counseling?
1:24:27
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
1:24:28
Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, I didn't talk to
1:24:31
Speaker 5: her about it. That might be a good idea.
1:24:33
Speaker 12: Yeah, it is.
1:24:34
Speaker 6: Oh, you said you didn't talk to her about it.
1:24:36
Speaker 5: Nah, but I be talking to her. Like, I be
1:24:38
Speaker 5: trying to talk to her about things and just mention
1:24:41
Speaker 5: that gang s * * * in there and just
1:24:43
Speaker 5: trying to conversate. Like, it seems like I don't get
1:24:46
Speaker 5: honest responses, especially.
1:24:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
1:24:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
1:24:50
Speaker 2: I feel that.
1:24:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what you got to do.
1:24:53
Speaker 15: I mean, I don't know.
1:24:54
Speaker 18: You don't seem too enthused, yo. I mean, that may
1:24:56
Speaker 18: be your disposition. That just may be, you know, your tone,
1:24:59
Speaker 18: how you are.
1:24:59
Speaker 6: But I don't know.
1:25:01
Speaker 18: You just seem like either you real down or you
1:25:03
Speaker 18: really don't care for real no more.
1:25:06
Speaker 24: Like, you.
1:25:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's like, I feel like once you know
1:25:10
Speaker 5: a person so long, then they should know how you are.
1:25:13
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:25:13
Speaker 5: You know, things like that. So it's like.
1:25:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I feel you, bro.
1:25:17
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.
1:25:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess I'm too better of a person now. Older, changed.
1:25:24
Speaker 2: All right, brother.
1:25:25
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:25:26
Speaker 6: Well, I'm sorry.
1:25:26
Speaker 18: Definitely bring up counsel, professional counsel. If not, you know,
1:25:30
Speaker 18: I don't know. Like, you got to do what you
1:25:32
Speaker 18: got to do to make her be honest because it
1:25:34
Speaker 18: may be somebody else. I mean, y'all have been together
1:25:36
Speaker 18: for a long time. Y'all got a lot of years.
1:25:37
Speaker 18: And I don't know if y'all got kids.
1:25:39
Speaker 6: Y'all got kids?
1:25:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got kids.
1:25:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
1:25:42
Speaker 2: Are they grown?
1:25:44
Speaker 6: Like, you know.
1:25:44
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah.
1:25:45
Speaker 18: Okay. Yeah, so she might be in the second phase
1:25:49
Speaker 18: of her life where she like, look, I want something else.
1:25:52
Speaker 18: You know, I want it to be, it ain't spicy.
1:25:54
Speaker 6: Over here no more. I think we should see other people.
1:25:57
Speaker 18: Or, you know, you get to that point, some people
1:25:58
Speaker 18: get to that point in their marriage where they want
1:26:00
Speaker 18: something new.
1:26:01
Speaker 6: You know, some people cheat.
1:26:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I.
1:26:02
Speaker 5: Ask about, though. So I'm like, just be honest. Like, okay, whatever,
1:26:06
Speaker 5: just let me know if I can. you know, respect it.
1:26:09
Speaker 6: Well, you can't make somebody be honest.
1:26:11
Speaker 18: Only thing you can do is take matters into your
1:26:13
Speaker 18: own hands and, you know, either do something about it
1:26:15
Speaker 18: which is leaving or, you know, you start that process
1:26:19
Speaker 18: and you'll see how a person act when you show
1:26:22
Speaker 18: them that your ass ready to be up out of there.
1:26:25
Speaker 6: You'll be surprised. You'll see. You know, just see.
1:26:28
Speaker 2: But don't stay there and be miserable.
1:26:29
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
1:26:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, nah, I understand. That's what I was asking. That's
1:26:33
Speaker 5: what I'm asking. Like, dang, we've been together so long.
1:26:35
Speaker 5: Should I... I know.
1:26:38
Speaker 6: I know, but your life ain't going to be over.
1:26:40
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
1:26:41
Speaker 18: Some marriages last for a short amount of time.
1:26:46
Speaker 6: Like my parents, they were.
1:26:47
Speaker 18: Married for 30 plus years and they just got a
1:26:50
Speaker 18: divorce like four years ago.
1:26:52
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
1:26:54
Speaker 18: They held on to their marriage for so long for us,
1:26:58
Speaker 18: for me and my brother and my sister.
1:27:00
Speaker 6: And it's like, yo.
1:27:01
Speaker 18: Don't even make yourself, I had to tell my mother,
1:27:04
Speaker 18: don't ever make the mistake of staying miserable for another person.
1:27:09
Speaker 6: I don't care if it is your kids. You explain
1:27:11
Speaker 6: that-ish later.
1:27:12
Speaker 18: Like, no, I never want anybody to stay in a
1:27:16
Speaker 18: marriage for their kids.
1:27:18
Speaker 6: That's not what you do. That's not what you teach
1:27:20
Speaker 6: your kids, either.
1:27:21
Speaker 2: You're teaching your kids how to be unhappy.
1:27:24
Speaker 5: I was thinking maybe you need to separate maybe for
1:27:26
Speaker 5: a while.
1:27:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:27:30
Speaker 18: And give each other space. See how y'all take that.
1:27:33
Speaker 18: Cause the separation actually determines the rest of the marriage.
1:27:36
Speaker 18: Whether you can get back together, whether you're going to
1:27:39
Speaker 18: get your ish together or whether you really can see
1:27:41
Speaker 18: yourself without that person.
1:27:42
Speaker 6: Now it's like, all right, cool. I think we grew apart.
1:27:44
Speaker 6: This is done. So, do that.
1:27:47
Speaker 18: Take the separation. Like, and take it serious. Don't ask her,
1:27:50
Speaker 18: do she think y'all should get, no.
1:27:51
Speaker 2: You do it.
1:27:52
Speaker 18: You put it in motion. And you see how she act,
1:27:55
Speaker 18: but you also take that time for yourself.
1:27:57
Speaker 7: You know?
1:27:58
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:27:59
Speaker 18: Figure yourself out and figure out, is this what you
1:28:01
Speaker 18: really want to do? Y'all kids grown. So, y'all ain't
1:28:03
Speaker 18: got to do it for the kids no more. So,
1:28:05
Speaker 18: now you figuring out if you doing it for you
1:28:07
Speaker 18: or not.
1:28:07
Speaker 5: Sure.
1:28:08
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:28:09

1:29:08
Speaker 20: her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the
1:29:10
Speaker 20: motion pictures category. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce also declared
1:29:15
Speaker 20: September 16th as Nia Long Day. It was an amazing ceremony.
1:29:20
Speaker 20: Some of the people that just some of the people
1:29:21
Speaker 20: that came out to support her. I saw Lorenz Tate,
1:29:24
Speaker 20: Terrence Howard, Morris Chestnut, Tiffany Haddish, Mike Epps.
1:29:28
Speaker 19: Courtney B.
1:29:28
Speaker 20: Vance, Graham King, producer from Michael, was there as well, who,
1:29:33
Speaker 20: you know, cast her, put her in the movie. He spoke,
1:29:35
Speaker 20: but Snoop Dogg actually spoke as well, too. He showed
1:29:38
Speaker 20: up with a jacket that had photos of, like, spanning
1:29:42
Speaker 20: Nia Long's career over the past 30 years, like some
1:29:44
Speaker 20: of her, like, big character moments. Let's take a listen
1:29:47
Speaker 20: to Snoop Dogg give Nia Long her honor.
1:29:50
Speaker 23: Nia wasn't just in the culture. Nia is the coach.
1:29:55
Speaker 23: For about 30 years, Nia Long had every black man
1:29:58
Speaker 23: in America thinking he had a chance. You didn't, but
1:30:01
Speaker 23: she let you dream. You know, Hollywood has a way
1:30:04
Speaker 23: of trying to change you. But Nia, she said, nah,
1:30:07
Speaker 23: I'm going to be Nia. And that's why we're still
1:30:09
Speaker 23: standing here celebrating her after all of these years.
1:30:12
Speaker 2: That's longevity.
1:30:13
Speaker 23: So today when we put that thing in the ground
1:30:15
Speaker 23: that say Neil Long on Hollywood Boulevard, just know that
1:30:18
Speaker 23: that star is not making you Hollywood royalty because you've
1:30:21
Speaker 23: been Hollywood royalty. This is just Hollywood finally putting it
1:30:24
Speaker 23: in writing. Here's a toast to success and nothing less.
1:30:27

1:30:27
Speaker 23: I'll be whoever you say. But right now, I'm the

Speaker 5: Again.
1:30:52
Speaker 20: Yeah, Nia also spoke as well to, let's take a
1:30:56
Speaker 20: listen to Nia.
1:30:58
Speaker 17: You know, I've been thinking a lot about what this
1:31:00
Speaker 17: star symbolizes and what each of its five points represents
1:31:06
Speaker 17: in my life. At the top of this star is God.
1:31:09
Speaker 9: And at the top right.
1:31:11
Speaker 6: Is my mommy.
1:31:13
Speaker 17: Talita Long, there's never been a day when I needed
1:31:17
Speaker 17: you that you didn't show up for me. You told
1:31:19
Speaker 17: me I would have a star one day. To the left,
1:31:22
Speaker 17: Masai and Kez, thank you for being my soldiers. At
1:31:27
Speaker 17: the bottom right of the star, my grandmother, Pearl Gilman,
1:31:31
Speaker 17: and my grandfather, Clyde Gilman, to my brother, John Singleton,
1:31:35
Speaker 17: your footprint on this industry will never be duplicated. At
1:31:39
Speaker 17: the bottom left point lives a sisterhood, a vibrant, beautiful
1:31:44
Speaker 17: sisterhood where I fellowship with women in my life.
1:31:47
Speaker 6: I love you so much.
1:31:49
Speaker 17: And at the nucleus of this star is a force
1:31:53
Speaker 17: who once doubted herself.
1:31:55
Speaker 9: She is me, Nia Talita Long.
1:32:00
Speaker 1: Salute to Nia Long, man. I'm going to tell you
1:32:02
Speaker 1: something else about Nia Long, too, boy. That's top of
1:32:04
Speaker 1: the line fine right there. You hear me, okay?
1:32:06
Speaker 6: To this day.
1:32:07
Speaker 2: Her beauty has appreciated with value.
1:32:09
Speaker 4: You hear me?
1:32:09
Speaker 6: Okay?
1:32:11
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's what the girls be going after, the 90s fine.
1:32:14
Speaker 6: I know that's right, Lo. You better get it, shorty.
1:32:16
Speaker 19: Let's keep it going. I just threw up in my mouth.
1:32:21
Speaker 6: I just threw up in my mouth.
1:32:23
Speaker 19: I just threw up in my mouth. That's what it
1:32:28
Speaker 19: was giving right, Lo.
1:32:29
Speaker 2: It was giving her knee along. It's the effortless beauty.
1:32:33
Speaker 2: It's the brown skin. It's the lip liner.
1:32:35
Speaker 20: It's the short hair like knee along. It's the sides, okay?
1:32:38
Speaker 20: We got to keep going with y'all.
1:32:39
Speaker 2: I just threw up in my mouth.
1:32:41
Speaker 5: Envy.
1:32:44
Speaker 20: I actually before i came into the segment um i
1:32:46
Speaker 20: just got off the phone with todd um uh todd
1:32:49
Speaker 20: tucker uh candy versus estranged husband there's a um there's
1:32:53
Speaker 20: a statement uh that was put out in people magazine
1:32:56
Speaker 20: from candy um there's been a lot of conversation around
1:32:59
Speaker 20: like candy todd threesomes right let's take a listen to
1:33:04
Speaker 20: uh some original audio todd todd told the world not
1:33:08
Speaker 20: told the world but Todd doubled down on a conversation
1:33:11
Speaker 20: that KD had about threesomes, and people were upset at him.
1:33:13
Speaker 6: Let's take a listen to that audio.
1:33:14
Speaker 2: Is it threesome s * * * for real, for real?
1:33:16
Speaker 5: We did.
1:33:17
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
1:33:18
Speaker 6: We did. I would say most of our marriage we did.
1:33:21
Speaker 15: I'm a saint.
1:33:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, so.
1:33:28
Speaker 20: Basically because we already knew that the threesome thing was
1:33:30
Speaker 20: a conversation within their marriage because candy had talked about
1:33:32
Speaker 20: it but candy gave a statement to people magazine and
1:33:34
Speaker 20: she is dragging him essentially she says that a man
1:33:37
Speaker 20: that has already hurt her to her core is furthering
1:33:38
Speaker 20: damage by choosing to sensationalize their sex life what happens
1:33:41
Speaker 20: between a husband and a wife in the privacy of
1:33:43
Speaker 20: their marriage is exactly that private his current behavior only
1:33:46
Speaker 20: confirms why i did the right thing by getting a
1:33:49
Speaker 20: divorce i do i did i'm done And so when
1:33:51
Speaker 20: me and Todd were just talking, he wants people to
1:33:54
Speaker 20: know that it's very unfortunate that Candy feels this way.
1:33:57
Speaker 20: But he feels like she had already put this information
1:33:59
Speaker 20: out there. He was just he's just speaking from his side.
1:34:03
Speaker 20: He apologizes if it hurt her or affects her. But
1:34:05
Speaker 20: he says he's just telling how he feels and he
1:34:07
Speaker 20: didn't want to sensationalize anything. This is not a spirit
1:34:10
Speaker 20: smear campaign. He says it's very different than that. He's
1:34:13
Speaker 20: never spoken out about anything until now. But he says,
1:34:16
Speaker 20: because I asked him, I'm like, well, why wouldn't you
1:34:17
Speaker 20: just clear it by her before you add that in?
1:34:19
Speaker 20: You know, he's doing this film about his side of
1:34:22
Speaker 20: what happened in a divorce. He says the reason why
1:34:24
Speaker 20: he didn't clear it with her is because when I do,
1:34:25
Speaker 20: I did, I'm done, dropped. He didn't know anything about it.
1:34:28
Speaker 20: It wasn't clear by him. He saw it the same
1:34:30
Speaker 20: way we did. And it hurt him to his core.
1:34:32
Speaker 6: He promoted it.
1:34:34
Speaker 19: And I asked him that as well too.
1:34:35
Speaker 20: And he said, I mean, Candy's still this person and
1:34:38
Speaker 20: it is what it is, but it wasn't cleared by
1:34:40
Speaker 20: him and it hurt him. So why are people asking
1:34:43
Speaker 20: him now? Why isn't he clearing things by her? Or
1:34:46
Speaker 20: why is it that he, he can't talk about certain things,
1:34:48
Speaker 20: but she can. So he wanted to.
1:34:50
Speaker 6: You know.
1:34:50
Speaker 1: I get what he's saying, but I do think that,
1:34:52
Speaker 1: you know, you should let the women do women things.
1:34:55
Speaker 1: Like if she wants to have that conversation about you know,
1:34:58
Speaker 1: their sex life in their bedroom, let her do that.
1:35:01
Speaker 1: I don't think he should do that.
1:35:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get what you're saying, but if she shared
1:35:05
Speaker 2: it and he might not have wanted that shared, he
1:35:07
Speaker 2: might have family that, you know, didn't want to know
1:35:09
Speaker 2: if they like extra sausages or extra fish in their bed.
1:35:12
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:35:12
Speaker 2: And she put it out there, so he's just like,
1:35:14
Speaker 2: that's what I'm gonna do. So you don't want your
1:35:15
Speaker 2: family to know so you double down on it? That
1:35:17
Speaker 2: don't make no sense. I mean, he's like, I mean,
1:35:19
Speaker 2: my whole point is you just can't tell one can
1:35:21
Speaker 2: share a story and not the other one.
1:35:22
Speaker 15: And then she went on a whole play.
1:35:23
Speaker 6: Like, there was a whole play that she did.
1:35:25
Speaker 2: I'm talking about I'm not saying he can't.
1:35:27
Speaker 1: I just always think it's crazy when I see men
1:35:29
Speaker 1: out there talking about their sexual exploits, especially with their
1:35:32
Speaker 1: sexual exploits with their wife. It's crazy when we hear
1:35:36
Speaker 1: the guys sit around and do it when they just
1:35:38
Speaker 1: talking about women that they smashed. But now you're talking
1:35:40
Speaker 1: about doing it with your ex-wife. I guess it's like
1:35:43
Speaker 1: some things you should just leave alone.
1:35:45
Speaker 19: He says, you know, he tried to do just what
1:35:47
Speaker 19: you're saying, Charlamagne, and leave certain things alone.
1:35:49
Speaker 20: He was like, look up. You can't even find interviews
1:35:51
Speaker 20: from me. I never talked about anything. I tried to
1:35:53
Speaker 20: keep things private. But, you know, I think now he just...
1:35:57
Speaker 20: There's a lot of conversation happening without him.
1:35:59
Speaker 19: And he feels like.
1:36:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't be mad at him because she shit
1:36:03
Speaker 2: at first. And she did a play against him. And
1:36:06
Speaker 2: maybe he wants to talk about it as well. I
1:36:07
Speaker 2: think it's corny when I see men just talk about
1:36:09
Speaker 2: their exes and their wives and their ex-wives. Regardless, I
1:36:11
Speaker 2: think it's corny.
1:36:12
Speaker 5: But.
1:36:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has every right to do it.
1:36:14
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, it's not going to ever
1:36:16
Speaker 1: fare well for him, which is why he got to
1:36:18
Speaker 1: come out and explain it now.
1:36:19
Speaker 19: No, people don't like it. People don't like it.
1:36:22
Speaker 20: He's had to address the whole sassy narrative because of this.
1:36:25
Speaker 4: You see what I'm saying?
1:36:26
Speaker 2: We got to go. I don't want to be talking.
1:36:28
Speaker 19: About being sassy on a Thursday. But yes, that was
1:36:30
