- 1:03Speaker 5: But damn you on family vacation, right with your family, right,
- 1:07Speaker 5: your wife and your daughter is doing what we all

- 1:18Speaker 2: Come on man.
- 1:19Speaker 5: That's why I got you know, I'll always be having
- 1:21Speaker 5: these conversations with myself just about karma and energy. I
- 1:25Speaker 5: don't know if I believe in any of that. You know,
- 1:27Speaker 5: I live it because I feel like, you know, that's
- 1:29Speaker 5: what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to, you know,
- 1:31Speaker 5: put out what you want to get back.
- 1:32Speaker 7: But I don't. I don't.
- 1:33Speaker 4: I don't know if any of that.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Really it's true. Yeah, for transcends.
- 1:38Speaker 6: I don't know what you live right regardless, because just
- 1:42Speaker 6: want to be a good person, right. You know the
- 1:44Speaker 6: thing with Malcolm Jamo one, of course, we all grew
- 1:46Speaker 6: up on him, right, so we've seen him grow through
- 1:48Speaker 6: his shows, through you know the cos we showed through
- 1:51Speaker 6: Malcolm and Eddy through all the things that he did.
- 1:53Speaker 6: So it almost feels like you have a personal relationship
- 1:55Speaker 6: with him absolutely. What what makes it even crazier is,
- 1:58Speaker 6: you know, I was on my book to or three
- 2:00Speaker 6: weeks ago and I just did his podcast and we
- 2:03Speaker 6: sat down for about would say about two hours, and
- 2:06Speaker 6: we didn't talk about music. We didn't talk about the industry.
- 2:09Speaker 6: All we did was just talking about being a dad
- 2:11Speaker 6: and how happy he was being a dad. And he
- 2:14Speaker 6: was talking telling about his relationships and that he got
- 2:16Speaker 6: married at I think at like forty five years old
- 2:19Speaker 6: and he found the one and he was so excited
- 2:21Speaker 6: and just so proud of his family, and he liked
- 2:23Speaker 6: to do the little things he like, he like, you know,
- 2:26Speaker 6: it's cool when when you run into another dad that's
- 2:28Speaker 6: like you, that who cares about all this other stuff.
- 2:30Speaker 2: You just care about being a father and showing up.
- 2:32Speaker 7: And that's most most good fathers care about being a father.
- 2:35Speaker 5: Most good fathers don't care about anything else except being
- 2:38Speaker 5: there for they.
- 2:39Speaker 6: That is correct sons and dogs. But a lot of
- 2:40Speaker 6: people are they say they're a good father.
- 2:43Speaker 7: They're not.
- 2:44Speaker 5: We don't even talk about it exactly. If you're not
- 2:46Speaker 5: doing those little things, you're not a good But we.
- 2:48Speaker 6: Were talking about just you know, like you know, going
- 2:51Speaker 6: to your dad your daughter's dance and knowing the dance
- 2:54Speaker 6: and you know your daughter's chair, and how proud you
- 2:56Speaker 6: are when they win. The actually been a and we
- 3:00Speaker 6: sat there for two hours and me Gia and himself
- 3:03Speaker 6: and we just spoke about it. It was just amazing conversation.
- 3:06Speaker 6: So when I seen that yesterday, it hit very close
- 3:08Speaker 6: to home because I'm like, damn, he wasn't doing nothing.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Wow, That's what I'm saying, Like he wasn't. We do
- 3:13Speaker 5: all of these something crazy? We do, all these things.
- 3:16Speaker 5: We do, all of these things the prolong our life
- 3:18Speaker 5: and all of these things we try to avoid with Literally,
- 3:20Speaker 5: you just on family vacation with your wife and your daughter,
- 3:24Speaker 5: and you know, something like that happened to you, something
- 3:26Speaker 5: that tragic happened to you, So you know, you just
- 3:28Speaker 5: can't avoid it. So every single day that you wake up,
- 3:31Speaker 5: you should really truly thank God for this thing called.
- 3:34Speaker 4: Life because you just never ever, ever ever know.
- 3:38Speaker 7: That's right.
- 3:38Speaker 6: Well, we're going to replay one of our interviews with
- 3:40Speaker 6: him when he pulled up on us.
- 3:42Speaker 5: You know, the first time Malcolm Jamal wanted ever came
- 3:45Speaker 5: up here was in twenty twenty three when we relocated
- 3:49Speaker 5: to this new studio we called the Black Mothership. It
- 3:52Speaker 5: was January of twenty twenty three. Like the first week
- 3:55Speaker 5: of January. We had just got back from vacation. He
- 3:57Speaker 5: was the first guest to bless this new studios, right.
- 4:01Speaker 2: He was the first guest.
- 4:02Speaker 6: So we're gonna get that back on and you know,
- 4:05Speaker 6: just celebrate his life a little bit. And if you
- 4:07Speaker 6: get an opportunity, go to his YouTube page where he
- 4:10Speaker 6: has his podcast. You can see some of those those
- 4:12Speaker 6: dope conversations that he had and just being a husband
- 4:15Speaker 6: and a father and I think which is crazy. I
- 4:18Speaker 6: think the last one that he did was me and
- 4:21Speaker 6: Gear my wife, So definitely check those out. We're gonna
- 4:23Speaker 6: get that on this morning. We got front page news next.
- 4:26Speaker 6: Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Good morning.

- 4:48Speaker 8: Yah.
- 4:48Speaker 5: I mean he had a great run with the Clippers.
- 4:50Speaker 5: That's right way back when so and the Clippers a
- 4:52Speaker 5: championship contender. So I like to see people that have
- 4:54Speaker 5: had great careers that have never won rings at the
- 4:57Speaker 5: end of their careers.
- 4:58Speaker 4: That's what they should be trying to do. Winn.
- 5:00Speaker 5: I hate when they just be on some team that
- 5:01Speaker 5: you know, don't have a chance in hell. But the
- 5:03Speaker 5: Clippers they got a chop. Yeah, they got Bradley Bill
- 5:06Speaker 5: now too, Yeah, they.
- 5:07Speaker 4: Got a Shawan Lennard. What's up, Morgan James Harden?
- 5:10Speaker 9: All right, Okay, I can keep clocking it. I like that.
- 5:13Speaker 7: All right.
- 5:13Speaker 9: Hey, y'all, how y'all feeling on the Tuesday?
- 5:15Speaker 4: Good?
- 5:16Speaker 10: Good, good, All right, let's get in TuS First on
- 5:19Speaker 10: front page, the former Louisville police officer convicted in relation
- 5:23Speaker 10: to the death of Brionna Taylor is being sentenced to
- 5:25Speaker 10: thirty three months in prison. Brett Hankinson was found guilty
- 5:28Speaker 10: of violating Taylor's civil rights when he fired blindly into
- 5:32Speaker 10: her apartment in twenty twenty during a botched raid. Now,
- 5:35Speaker 10: his bullets didn't hit anyone, and last week the Department
- 5:38Speaker 10: of Justice recommended he only received one day behind bars
- 5:43Speaker 10: before sentencing. Four protesters were arrested outside the courthouse, including
- 5:46Speaker 10: Breonna Taylor's aunt, attorney Benjamin Crump, Breonna Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer,
- 5:51Speaker 10: and her boyfriend Kenny Walker, who was there, spoke out
- 5:55Speaker 10: outside or spoke outside the courthouse during a press conference
- 5:59Speaker 10: following the sentence. And here's what Breonna tailor excuse me,
- 6:03Speaker 10: here's what attorney ben Crump had to say about that sentence.
- 6:06Speaker 11: We thanked the judge for her attention to detail and
- 6:10Speaker 11: for setting the record straight that he was convicted of
- 6:16Speaker 11: depriving Brehanna Taylor of her civil rights four Amendment seizure.
- 6:23Speaker 11: And that is a crime that we acknowledge in America
- 6:28Speaker 11: that you go to prison for. So he is going
- 6:32Speaker 11: to prison, and we have to keep watching as to win.
- 6:36Speaker 3: He is going to go to prison.
- 6:40Speaker 10: So Tamika Palmer, Brehanna Taylor's mother, and her boyfriend Kenny Walker,
- 6:43Speaker 10: also spoke outside the courthouse and they talked about whether
- 6:47Speaker 10: or not they felt like they received justice. Let's take
- 6:49Speaker 10: a listen to their comments.
- 6:52Speaker 12: Like, we got something, Yeah, we got something. I don't
- 6:56Speaker 12: think it was it was a fair sentencing, but it
- 7:00Speaker 12: was a start.
- 7:02Speaker 13: I'm grateful for the small piece of justice that we got.
- 7:06Speaker 13: It's definitely not what I was expecting, and Bret Hankinson
- 7:11Speaker 13: told me I was gonna go to jail for the
- 7:13Speaker 13: rest of my life. So I definitely feel some type
- 7:15Speaker 13: of something to see him going.
- 7:17Speaker 5: For Yeah, there's so much going on in the world
- 7:22Speaker 5: that I forgot that trial was even happening, and I
- 7:24Speaker 5: forgot what cop was on trial for so less than
- 7:28Speaker 5: three years. Is that the appropriate sentence? I mean, if
- 7:30Speaker 5: they they're happy about it, I mean, like we should
- 7:32Speaker 5: be too, right.
- 7:33Speaker 10: I guess, you know, it's it's certainly a stark contrast
- 7:36Speaker 10: from one day, so you know, thirty three months goes
- 7:39Speaker 10: to show that, you know, some some at least some
- 7:42Speaker 10: justice can be served or at least to your point,
- 7:45Speaker 10: the family is semi satisfied.
- 7:46Speaker 2: So yeah.
- 7:48Speaker 10: So in other news, uh, some civil rights activists are
- 7:51Speaker 10: criticizing the release of Martin Luther King Junior's assassination file.
- 7:54Speaker 10: The Trump administration released thousands of pages yesterday.
- 7:56Speaker 5: That's not what the screech asking for. Try to They're
- 8:00Speaker 5: not going to deflect. Don't try to distract. That's not
- 8:02Speaker 5: what the screet's asking for. The screeches stein files.
- 8:06Speaker 10: I was gonna get to that, but yeah, pretty much
- 8:08Speaker 10: that's what that's what.
- 8:10Speaker 9: That's what it is.
- 8:10Speaker 10: So the Trump administration released thousands of pages yesterday, all
- 8:13Speaker 10: related to King's nineteen sixty eight death. Atlanta's King Center
- 8:17Speaker 10: called it ill timed. Director of National Intelligence Tulsea Gabbert

- 8:25Speaker 10: potential leads and information about the assassin, James Earl Ray's
- 8:29Speaker 10: former cellmate, and more. What Revernol Sharpton called it a
- 8:33Speaker 10: desperate attempt to distract the firestorm over Trump not unsealing
- 8:38Speaker 10: files over Jeffrey Epstein's death.
- 8:41Speaker 5: Yeah, MAGA did not call. MAGA did not call for
- 8:44Speaker 5: no MLK junior assassination files. That's not what MAGA wants.
- 8:47Speaker 5: Listen to your base, Trump, MAGA wants them Epstein files.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Okay, no for real.
- 8:52Speaker 10: But House Speaker Mike Johnson says there won't be a
- 8:54Speaker 10: vote on releasing those files related to Epstein before lawmakers
- 8:58Speaker 10: at least go on break and on August. So we'll
- 9:02Speaker 10: have to wait to see if those files get released
- 9:04Speaker 10: following the August recess.

- 17:58Speaker 22: rest in peace and just pay respects tribute to Malcolm
- 18:01Speaker 22: Jamal Warner, Emmy nominated actor, musician, poet, father, husband. He
- 18:08Speaker 22: was of course beloved for his role as THEO on
- 18:10Speaker 22: The Cosby Show, which earned him a nomination for Outstanding
- 18:13Speaker 22: Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the thirtyeth Emmy's
- 18:17Speaker 22: You Know. He also starred in the sitcom Malcolm and Eddie.
- 18:21Speaker 22: In twenty fifteen, he received a Grammy Award for Best
- 18:24Speaker 22: Traditional R and B Performance for the songs Jesus Jesus'
- 18:28Speaker 22: Children alongside Robert Glasspier. In twenty twenty four June and
- 18:33Speaker 22: twenty twenty four, he decided to launch his podcast Not
- 18:36Speaker 22: All Hood, and he talked a lot about why this
- 18:38Speaker 22: podcast was so special to him because it's centered around
- 18:41Speaker 22: discussing the lives and experiences of Black Americans, which he
- 18:44Speaker 22: was really big on doing and platforming.
- 18:47Speaker 15: So I want to, you know, right.
- 18:50Speaker 22: Now, let's take a listen to Malcolm talking about why
- 18:53Speaker 22: he was so excited about fatherhood and being a husband.
- 18:55Speaker 23: A sick listen, because we're like I met my wife,
- 18:57Speaker 23: I was forty five, and I had spent I spent
- 19:01Speaker 23: more of my adult years in long term relationships than not.
- 19:08Speaker 23: But when I met my wife for forty five, I
- 19:10Speaker 23: was like, I got it. Everybody said when they say
- 19:14Speaker 23: when you know, you know, and that always sounded and
- 19:16Speaker 23: being in these long term relationships that always sounded like
- 19:19Speaker 23: a really cool concept. But when I met my wife,
- 19:21Speaker 23: I was I had there was you know. After a
- 19:23Speaker 23: couple months, I was like, oh, that's what.
- 19:25Speaker 3: The you know, I get it.
- 19:29Speaker 23: But when I think about had I gotten married any earlier,
- 19:35Speaker 23: I know, I definitely would not have been as effective
- 19:38Speaker 23: of a husband and father as I am.
- 19:40Speaker 14: Now.
- 19:42Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that was when we actually did his podcast,
- 19:45Speaker 6: Me and My Wife Kid. We would you know from
- 19:47Speaker 6: our book tour, but he was just talking about how
- 19:49Speaker 6: much he loved his wife and how much he loved
- 19:51Speaker 6: his daughter, and how he enjoyed being a father and
- 19:54Speaker 6: that was like the highlight of his life at that time,
- 19:57Speaker 6: you know, doing those events, going to the school and
- 19:59Speaker 6: do things like that, and that's what we were really
- 20:02Speaker 6: sat there for two hours and just discussed that me
- 20:03Speaker 6: and my wife and him just discussed being a fault
- 20:06Speaker 6: and being a relationship so solid.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Good brother.
- 20:08Speaker 22: Yes, And when we talk about I know you guys
- 20:10Speaker 22: were talking about earlier when we opened the show this morning,
- 20:12Speaker 22: just about kind of like some of the circumstances I
- 20:15Speaker 22: do want to just feel in some of that of
- 20:17Speaker 22: like what happened as well, because we talk about like family,
- 20:20Speaker 22: you guys were talking about family vacation earlier. Malcolm Jamal
- 20:23Speaker 22: Warner was on a family vacation Costa Rica with his
- 20:26Speaker 22: family when you know, the drowning incident happened. So you know,
- 20:30Speaker 22: people for sure y'all talking about sending prayers yesterday. I
- 20:33Speaker 22: think I know for me that was one of the
- 20:34Speaker 22: first things I did when I heard the story was
- 20:36Speaker 22: pray for his wife and his daughter.
- 20:38Speaker 15: And what also insane is he he talked a lot about.
- 20:43Speaker 22: The fact that he waited because he wanted to make
- 20:44Speaker 22: sure that he got it right when he became a dad.
- 20:46Speaker 22: He became a dad later in life, and there was
- 20:48Speaker 22: a moment on his Instagram that he shared. It was
- 20:51Speaker 22: from his daughter's birthday where he he had like this
- 20:55Speaker 22: sunflower in his in his ear and people were like,
- 20:57Speaker 22: why do you have the sunflower? He began to talk
- 20:58Speaker 22: about you know, let's take listening. He talks about his
- 21:01Speaker 22: relationship with his daughter a bit more.
- 21:04Speaker 23: Yes, I got the flower on my air to there's
- 21:05Speaker 23: my daughter's birthday.
- 21:08Speaker 7: She put the flower there, so I'm walking in it. It's
- 21:11Speaker 7: a beautiful day here in Atlata.
- 21:12Speaker 23: I just wanted to shout out and just spread some
- 21:15Speaker 23: love and some good cheer and you know, life, life
- 21:19Speaker 23: is out here, lifing right for me and for everybody else.
- 21:22Speaker 23: But just wanted to remind you, as I remind myself,
- 21:26Speaker 23: that no matter what's going on, there's always a reason
- 21:30Speaker 23: to smile.
- 21:30Speaker 7: Like if you just take a minute to stop, it
- 21:32Speaker 7: takes stock. I guarantee you can find at at least
- 21:36Speaker 7: one reason to smile.
- 21:38Speaker 23: And if for some reason you can't find a reason
- 21:40Speaker 23: to smile, then that's probably the best time to be
- 21:45Speaker 23: the reason for somebody else to smile. Buy a smile
- 21:48Speaker 23: for yourself, and be a reason for someone else to smile.
- 21:51Speaker 7: That's all I gotten of love, because it's been a minute.
- 21:54Speaker 7: Peace been love, and I'll be excellent man. Blessings to
- 21:58Speaker 7: that brother.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Man.
- 21:59Speaker 5: I'm telling you, man, we spend all this time trying
- 22:01Speaker 5: to avoid potential dangerous situations just so we can prolong
- 22:05Speaker 5: this thing called life. And this brother was just out
- 22:07Speaker 5: with his family on vacation doing something we all doing,
- 22:10Speaker 5: were on vacation, swimming, and something tragic like that happens.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Man, life is not promiss to anybody.
- 22:18Speaker 6: Yeah, they said, I guess when it happened to somebody
- 22:21Speaker 6: else was taken to the hospital.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Was that a family member or that was just a person?
- 22:24Speaker 22: It hasn't That person hasn't been confirmed as a family member.
- 22:27Speaker 22: They're just being listed as a second individual from the
- 22:30Speaker 22: reports that I saw. They were injured during the incident.
- 22:32Speaker 22: The according to the Costa Rican Red Cross, the second
- 22:36Speaker 22: individual was rushed to a local clinic and it's in
- 22:38Speaker 22: critical condition.
- 22:39Speaker 15: Their current condition as of right now is unknown.
- 22:42Speaker 22: But yeah, they're I mean, of course they're doing their investigation,
- 22:45Speaker 22: trying to figure out more of what happened and all
- 22:47Speaker 22: of the things. But Malcolm Jamal Warner was declared, you know,
- 22:51Speaker 22: dead at the scene, and then this person was ticket
- 22:53Speaker 22: to the hospital.
- 22:54Speaker 4: And really pray for that brother.
- 22:55Speaker 8: Man.
- 22:55Speaker 5: Before you run the social media and post about how
- 22:57Speaker 5: this situation makes you feel, take the time to really
- 23:00Speaker 5: pray for that brother, Malcolm Jamal. Want to take the
- 23:02Speaker 5: time to really pray for that brother's family. I know
- 23:04Speaker 5: we feel like we knew Malcolm Jamal Warner because of
- 23:07Speaker 5: the roles he played. Yeah, but that was a man
- 23:09Speaker 5: with a real family who knew him in a real way,
- 23:11Speaker 5: and they are going through it in ways that we
- 23:13Speaker 5: don't understand. So take the time to think about them
- 23:16Speaker 5: before you think about yourself. And I was thinking about
- 23:18Speaker 5: his father, man, because he spoke about his father so
- 23:21Speaker 5: much and how much his father, you know, poured into
- 23:24Speaker 5: him and now his father has to bury his child.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:28Speaker 22: Anyway, he actually sat down with Melissa Ford and he
- 23:31Speaker 22: talked a lot about his relationship with his dad and
- 23:33Speaker 22: his legacy that he wanted to leave.
- 23:34Speaker 15: We have that clip. Let's take a listen.
- 23:37Speaker 24: Life, it's it's fragile and in the blink of an eye,
- 23:41Speaker 24: you never you never know. So speaking of legacy, what
- 23:45Speaker 24: do you hope that your legacy is going to be?
- 23:49Speaker 7: Man?
- 23:49Speaker 23: Because I'm fifty four, I think about that a lot.
- 23:55Speaker 23: So I remember my mother said to me one time
- 23:58Speaker 23: that mister Cosby gave you immortality facts.
- 24:05Speaker 15: That is very true, right.
- 24:08Speaker 7: So I know, on one lane.
- 24:11Speaker 23: There is there's legacy there, but also because my life,
- 24:17Speaker 23: you know, those former years were always about life beyond Cosby, right,
- 24:23Speaker 23: So I feel like, okay, there's that legacy there. But
- 24:26Speaker 23: then because I've had this full life, you know, after
- 24:31Speaker 23: that show, there's another lane of legacy that I get
- 24:36Speaker 23: to leave and I'm still working through that.
- 24:42Speaker 7: Yes, you just got to live.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Be intentional about living, Be intentional about being a good person,
- 24:50Speaker 5: because you want to be a good person. You know,
- 24:53Speaker 5: being a good person doesn't mean, you know, bad things
- 24:55Speaker 5: won't happen to you. You know, you just hope they won't.
- 24:58Speaker 5: But being a good person doesn't guarantee. You just got
- 25:00Speaker 5: to be a good person for the sake of being
- 25:01Speaker 5: a good.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Person for humanity.
- 25:03Speaker 7: That's right.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Rest in peace, and again, condolences to that brother's family.
- 25:06Speaker 4: He's so saying, yeah, all right, well.
- 25:09Speaker 6: That is the latest with Lauren In about I would

- 26:34Speaker 10: wave may stick around for a while thanks to drought
- 26:37Speaker 10: and limited rainfall in places like Kansas and Nebraska. In
- 26:41Speaker 10: other news, the White House is blaming the policies or
- 26:45Speaker 10: Biden policies for excuse me, the White House is blaming
- 26:48Speaker 10: the policies a former President Biden for the shooting of
- 26:51Speaker 10: an off duty police patrol officer in New York City
- 26:56Speaker 10: at off duty border patrol officer. Now spokesp person House

- 27:04Speaker 10: the suspect and illegal immigrants to enter the US and
- 27:07Speaker 10: Rome free. She added that that's the reason why President
- 27:10Speaker 10: Trump won twenty twenty four's election.
- 27:12Speaker 9: Let's take a listen to her comments.
- 27:14Speaker 25: Well, this tragedy that took place over the weekend at
- 27:17Speaker 25: the hands of yet another illegal alien invader who was
- 27:20Speaker 25: allowed into our country and released by the Biden administration,
- 27:25Speaker 25: and this is exactly why President Trump was elected into
- 27:28Speaker 25: office with an overwhelming mandate to secure our homeland.
- 27:32Speaker 10: So the officer was shot in the face and is
- 27:35Speaker 10: expected to survive that incident. Meanwhile, Border Enforcement Director Tom
- 27:39Speaker 10: Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam visited the border
- 27:44Speaker 10: patrol officer. Now Russo from the Department of Homeland Security

- 27:51Speaker 10: City Mayor Eric Adams says the goal is to get
- 27:53Speaker 10: dangerous people off the streets.
- 27:55Speaker 9: Let's take a.
- 27:56Speaker 10: Listen to their comments in part. That's Frank Russom the
- 28:00Speaker 10: Department of Homeland Security and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
- 28:03Speaker 14: He did exactly what we ask of all of our
- 28:07Speaker 14: officers under the circumstances.
- 28:09Speaker 2: He executed our mission, which is to protect the country.
- 28:13Speaker 26: Migrating asylum seekers who are bringing violence and really tarnish
- 28:20Speaker 26: with the reputation of those who come to this country
- 28:24Speaker 26: to pursue the American dream.
- 28:26Speaker 10: So the NYPD alleged Miguel Francisco Nunyez shot the border
- 28:30Speaker 10: patrol officer who returned fire during an apparent botched robbery.
- 28:34Speaker 10: Nunyez has been wanted for numerous crimes in New York.
- 28:38Speaker 10: President Trump says Mora was apprehended at the border for
- 28:42Speaker 10: illegally coming in in twenty twenty three under the Biden administration,
- 28:46Speaker 10: but instead of being deported, he was released.
- 28:49Speaker 4: Its horrible what happened to that officer.
- 28:51Speaker 5: And I feel like the climbate of the country we
- 28:53Speaker 5: live in is what leads, you know, to stuff like that.
- 28:56Speaker 5: And it's sad that you know that situation is going
- 28:58Speaker 5: to be politicized, you know, for the next few days.

- 31:35Speaker 6: Right now when we come back, Malcolm Jamal Warner, he
- 31:38Speaker 6: passed away, Rest in peace. He did the first interview
- 31:41Speaker 6: in our new studio here, but two years.
- 31:43Speaker 5: Ago, twenty twenty three. Year was January two thousand, twenty three.
- 31:46Speaker 5: It was the first week back from a vacation for us.
- 31:49Speaker 5: And yeah, he was the first guess in this new studio,
- 31:52Speaker 5: and I mean he is when we sit down and
- 31:54Speaker 5: we have these long form conversations like this is the
- 31:57Speaker 5: reason I love long form conversations, you.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Know, because of.
- 32:01Speaker 5: Sadly moments like this, you know, because you get to
- 32:04Speaker 5: know people in those long form conversations, and you know,
- 32:07Speaker 5: when people passed or when you want to learn more
- 32:10Speaker 5: about a person, you tap into those long form conversations.
- 32:12Speaker 5: So I'm happy that a lot of people heard the
- 32:15Speaker 5: interview and watched the interview before he passed away. But
- 32:18Speaker 5: you know, now that you know he's gone, we can,
- 32:20Speaker 5: you know, pay tribute to him, you know, in a
- 32:22Speaker 5: real way by rerunning this interview.
- 32:23Speaker 6: And when I seen him a couple of weeks ago,
- 32:25Speaker 6: he was so appreciative because he was like, you guys
- 32:27Speaker 6: actually played my music, and he was like, people were
- 32:29Speaker 6: calling me about the music, and.
- 32:31Speaker 2: He went viral for something he said. I can't remember
- 32:33Speaker 2: what he said.
- 32:34Speaker 6: There was a lot of things in that conversation that
- 32:37Speaker 6: he went viral for something, but he was like, you know,
- 32:38Speaker 6: the good thing about it is he say he doesn't
- 32:40Speaker 6: really care. He didn't care what people said, but he
- 32:42Speaker 6: just cared about it. Opened up conversation and he was
- 32:44Speaker 6: just so happy for that interview. So definitely, rest in peace.
- 32:47Speaker 6: We're gonna get that interview back home when we come back.

- 33:11Speaker 2: We got a special guest in the building.
- 33:12Speaker 5: You know what's interesting I was thinking about, you know, organically,
- 33:16Speaker 5: who is going to be the first guest in the
- 33:18Speaker 5: new Breakfast Club studio, Because to me, that's important because
- 33:21Speaker 5: you're setting off a new generation, you're setting off for
- 33:23Speaker 5: a new chapter.
- 33:24Speaker 4: So who would be the first guest on it? We
- 33:28Speaker 4: should be on it? Come on, man grew up on him.
- 33:31Speaker 6: Come on, man, Ladies and gentlemen, Malcolm Jamal Wannaway, you.
- 33:36Speaker 7: Said first guest. It didn't really register before you start. Yeah,
- 33:40Speaker 7: but now okay, I got it. You're the first guest
- 33:42Speaker 7: that one new studio.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Studio.
- 33:46Speaker 6: Somebody I know m is still Huxtable. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, word,
- 33:49Speaker 6: thank you. Now you're from Jersey City that don't know
- 33:53Speaker 6: how did you get your start in show business? Because
- 33:55Speaker 6: we heard that you are a rapper at first you
- 33:58Speaker 6: are in a rap group almost deaf jam at the time.
- 34:07Speaker 6: How did you get your start with show business?
- 34:09Speaker 23: I was doing basically community theater. My mother was always
- 34:14Speaker 23: looking for me to uh, looking for things for me
- 34:17Speaker 23: to do outside of going to school and coming home
- 34:20Speaker 23: and hanging out. So like, I played basketball and that
- 34:23Speaker 23: was my thing.
- 34:24Speaker 7: I thought.
- 34:24Speaker 23: I thought it was gonna be a basketball player. And
- 34:26Speaker 23: then one season, one year basketball season was over, my
- 34:30Speaker 23: mother's friend suggested this community theater and I asked him
- 34:34Speaker 23: if I wanted to go. So I went down, auditioned,
- 34:36Speaker 23: got in and found myself doing theater and just absolutely
- 34:40Speaker 23: loved it. So like at nine years old, I was like, oh,
- 34:43Speaker 23: this is this is what I want to do and
- 34:45Speaker 23: what it was. It was really it was the first
- 34:47Speaker 23: curtain call. Like the first player I did was called
- 34:49Speaker 23: Alice Is that You? And it was basically, uh, a
- 34:53Speaker 23: takeoff of the Whiz like Dorothy gets the Odds and
- 34:57Speaker 23: everybody thinks she's Alice from Alice in Wonderland, right, And
- 35:00Speaker 23: I played the ten man. And I just remember the
- 35:03Speaker 23: first opening night coming out for curtain Call, coming out
- 35:06Speaker 23: and people clapping and standing up, and I'm like nine.
- 35:09Speaker 7: Years old, and I'm like, yo, I got that bug
- 35:11Speaker 7: I can get into this. People stand up and clap
- 35:13Speaker 7: for you. Yeah, I like this.
- 35:15Speaker 2: How did you book Cosby? What was that that process?
- 35:17Speaker 14: Like?
- 35:18Speaker 7: That's funny.
- 35:18Speaker 23: So when my agent first submitted me, uh, they were
- 35:22Speaker 23: looking for a six to fifteen year old Jesus Yeah,
- 35:29Speaker 23: well because because you know, in this was fifteen and
- 35:31Speaker 23: was six to two mister Cosby's son. So in the
- 35:36Speaker 23: original in the original script, like there was this running
- 35:40Speaker 23: joke like you know, THEO would you know, get in
- 35:43Speaker 23: trouble with something and Cliff would be like THEO stand up,
- 35:45Speaker 23: and THEO stands up and he's towering over Cliff, and
- 35:48Speaker 23: Cliff'd be like, THEO, sit down, so they were trying
- 35:50Speaker 23: to get that they couldn't find that kid, and she
- 35:53Speaker 23: submitted me. They didn't want to see me, and at
- 35:55Speaker 23: the last minute she re submitted me because they couldn't
- 35:59Speaker 23: find the and they were doing network callbacks.
- 36:02Speaker 7: This is crazy because it was good Friday eighty four.
- 36:05Speaker 23: I auditioned at six point thirty on Friday afternoon and
- 36:10Speaker 23: the network callbacks were that Monday, so they were already
- 36:14Speaker 23: flying in somebody from Chicago, flying in somebody from New York.
- 36:17Speaker 23: So I was literally the last person they saw. And
- 36:22Speaker 23: when I went in for the network callbacks, I went
- 36:25Speaker 23: in and I did the audition like you know, you see,
- 36:28Speaker 23: you know, I was watching different strokes and what I
- 36:30Speaker 23: so you see kids being smart alex and talking back
- 36:33Speaker 23: to the parents and rolling their eyes. So I was
- 36:35Speaker 23: doing the scene like that, and in the room is
- 36:38Speaker 23: you know network, you know, producers, studio, and I'm killing.
- 36:43Speaker 23: In the room, everybody's like, I'm hitting all all the
- 36:45Speaker 23: beats and everybody's laughing.
- 36:46Speaker 7: And I'm killing.
- 36:47Speaker 23: And I finished, and everybody's like cool except mister Cosby,
- 36:50Speaker 23: and he's looking at me and he's like, would you
- 36:52Speaker 23: really talk to your father like that? And I said no,
- 36:55Speaker 23: he said, I don't want to see that on the show.
- 36:57Speaker 23: So you go back out and you give me some
- 37:00Speaker 23: else and come back later. And because it was the
- 37:02Speaker 23: network callbacks, like everybody was there, so they had, you know,
- 37:05Speaker 23: audition everybody for other parts, and finally I came back
- 37:07Speaker 23: in and gave them one hundred and eighty degree turn.
- 37:11Speaker 4: Well clearly he saw something, men, you though, Yeah.
- 37:13Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, and you know, they gave me a shot
- 37:17Speaker 23: to come back and redo it, and that's how I
- 37:19Speaker 23: booked it.
- 37:19Speaker 5: You know, what's interesting about what you said earlier. You
- 37:21Speaker 5: said that you was in theater at nine years old.
- 37:25Speaker 5: So people see these gifted young actors on shows like
- 37:29Speaker 5: Cosby back in the day, and we don't realize the
- 37:32Speaker 5: background because nowadays it feels like it's no point of
- 37:35Speaker 5: entry to you know, get on these TVs everything.
- 37:38Speaker 7: Or social media or social media become later.
- 37:40Speaker 5: You actually went and were perfecting your craft before you
- 37:43Speaker 5: got to that point.
- 37:44Speaker 23: Yeah, and I still do, like I've always every couple
- 37:46Speaker 23: of years, I do theater, even when I was on Cosby, Like,
- 37:48Speaker 23: I always go back to theater because that is the uh,
- 37:52Speaker 23: I mean, that's the that's the foundation, you know. So
- 37:54Speaker 23: I always say, like, theater is my favorite platform. Television
- 37:59Speaker 23: is my favorite check, but theater is really like like
- 38:02Speaker 23: that's I mean.
- 38:04Speaker 7: That's that's that's that's the Have.
- 38:06Speaker 5: You ever just sat back and reflected on what you
- 38:09Speaker 5: and The Cosby Show meant to black people in really
- 38:13Speaker 5: the world from eighty four to ninety two.
- 38:16Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, it's something that we still talk about, right,
- 38:19Speaker 23: So who say I mean, you know what I'm saying,
- 38:22Speaker 23: we like like worldwide the culture, you know it because
- 38:26Speaker 23: it's had a an indelible, irreversible effect, you know on
- 38:32Speaker 23: the culture. So I mean it's something I'm very proud, like,
- 38:34Speaker 23: no matter what, I'm very proud to you know, have
- 38:38Speaker 23: been a part of that and part of that, you know,
- 38:41Speaker 23: just to have that kind of I guess influence if
- 38:46Speaker 23: you will. And when I was younger, you know, it
- 38:49Speaker 23: was always I was always trying to escape this role
- 38:52Speaker 23: model you know title, because.
- 38:54Speaker 7: I was like, oh, Michael, want use the role model.
- 38:56Speaker 23: And my thing was always we always equate perfection with
- 39:01Speaker 23: role model. So I never wanted the pressure of being,
- 39:06Speaker 23: you know, being seen as flawless because I just I
- 39:10Speaker 23: didn't want that, Like that wasn't me. So I used
- 39:14Speaker 23: to kind of kind of shy away from that, you know,
- 39:18Speaker 23: that title. But and now that I'm older, not that
- 39:22Speaker 23: I want to be considered a role model, but I
- 39:24Speaker 23: do understand the.
- 39:28Speaker 7: You know, having the platform. I understand, uh, having the
- 39:33Speaker 7: ear of young people like you know.
- 39:35Speaker 23: Fortunately, I'm still at a place where I'm still relevant
- 39:38Speaker 23: enough where you know, what I say can still have influence.
- 39:42Speaker 4: You always listen to you because of that time.
- 39:45Speaker 23: Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, and and and that's something I
- 39:48Speaker 23: take seriously. So I was I was really fortunate because
- 39:52Speaker 23: we shot Calls be here in New York and you
- 39:55Speaker 23: know during during the eighties, man, you know yall did.
- 40:00Speaker 14: That was.
- 40:02Speaker 23: Actually that was actually so we shot in Brooklyn, then
- 40:06Speaker 23: we shot in Queens, but that that stupe, that front
- 40:10Speaker 23: stop was actually in the village.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:14Speaker 6: Rest in peace to Malcolm Jamaal Warner. We're getting back
- 40:17Speaker 6: on an interview when he was up here. Very sad
- 40:21Speaker 6: condolences to his family.
- 40:22Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club.
- 40:23Speaker 6: Did you look at Bill Cosby as a father figure
- 40:25Speaker 6: because you around him so much, You did so much
- 40:27Speaker 6: acting like right, and and I mean you were a
- 40:30Speaker 6: good actor, but it was believable. It seems like you
- 40:33Speaker 6: admired him as a father when I when I would
- 40:35Speaker 6: watch the show or even see you behind the scenes
- 40:36Speaker 6: of the show whatever.
- 40:37Speaker 7: Well, I was doing theater. I was perfecting my.
- 40:42Speaker 23: Job, right, No, because you know, I've my father has
- 40:45Speaker 23: always been, you know, an integral part of my life.
- 40:47Speaker 7: So I have a father.
- 40:50Speaker 23: He was you know, Miss Cosby was obvious, someone I
- 40:53Speaker 23: worked with, someone I respected. But Ennis was also you know,
- 40:56Speaker 23: a close friend of mine, so he was also like
- 40:58Speaker 23: Inness's dad, gotcha, So it wasn't. I mean, I would
- 41:02Speaker 23: definitely say he was a mentor because he he schooled
- 41:04Speaker 23: me on a lot of you know, on a lot
- 41:06Speaker 23: of things.
- 41:07Speaker 7: But the.
- 41:09Speaker 23: I love the father's son relationship between Cliff and THEO,
- 41:15Speaker 23: but that wasn't. That wasn't our relationship. But we you know,
- 41:17Speaker 23: we're Matt cool, But it wasn't the It wasn't the
- 41:20Speaker 23: father figure.
- 41:21Speaker 6: Now as a mentor, did he school you on to
- 41:23Speaker 6: contracts and negotiations? Because no, that thing it's still on now.
- 41:28Speaker 6: And I'm like, do you still get paid? And was
- 41:30Speaker 6: everything taken care of the right way? Or is it
- 41:32Speaker 6: you're a new actor you got got yeah, yeah, we
- 41:34Speaker 6: got well and once we got God, that's not that's
- 41:36Speaker 6: not that's completely unfair to say we got God.
- 41:39Speaker 7: But I will say this, so, yeah, so we get residuals.
- 41:42Speaker 23: Right. But the thing that that that people don't necessarily
- 41:45Speaker 23: understand about residuals is every time an episode repeats, you
- 41:49Speaker 23: get a percentage of what your original paycheck was, and
- 41:54Speaker 23: that show has repeated forever.
- 41:57Speaker 7: Correct. So let's say to.
- 41:59Speaker 23: Put things in active about ten to twelve years ago,
- 42:03Speaker 23: I remember getting an episode check for sixty four dollars.
- 42:08Speaker 7: I thought a redigual check.
- 42:11Speaker 23: Sometimes yeah, like I guess at some point the sending
- 42:14Speaker 23: the checkout costs more than what the check is correct.
- 42:17Speaker 7: So for a period of time though.
- 42:20Speaker 23: That lump sum was a nice padding, But then after
- 42:25Speaker 23: a while, you know, once it just keeps airing, it's
- 42:27Speaker 23: not a whole lot. But when you have points when
- 42:31Speaker 23: you got back in, that's when you're forever making money
- 42:35Speaker 23: because when they syndicate the show, however many times they syndicated,
- 42:39Speaker 23: you have a piece of the show, so you're getting
- 42:41Speaker 23: that kind of money. We didn't get on the ship.
- 42:43Speaker 23: We had no no backend. We didn't know about back in,
- 42:46Speaker 23: and even if we did, we didn't have any leverage
- 42:48Speaker 23: to negotiate the time.
- 42:50Speaker 6: All I want I want to ask, you know, out
- 42:52Speaker 6: of all your episodes, I'll ask Charla Mane. So my
- 42:54Speaker 6: most memorable Cosby show is, of course to go to
- 42:57Speaker 6: control season one episode.
- 43:02Speaker 2: It's my shirt shirt.
- 43:16Speaker 9: Think of the morn.
- 43:19Speaker 4: Ask me the question again.
- 43:23Speaker 15: I hate it, look at it.
- 43:30Speaker 6: Of course the I did the same thing when I
- 43:34Speaker 6: got my errand so what was your favorite all of those?
- 43:38Speaker 23: But I think that at the top of this would
- 43:40Speaker 23: be the pilot when theil was getting d's in school
- 43:44Speaker 23: and they did the whole monopoly money thing, and you know,
- 43:49Speaker 23: THEO gives that that was the area that the E
- 43:54Speaker 23: and you know THEO gives the speech. You know, like
- 43:57Speaker 23: you know that I just want to be regular people
- 43:59Speaker 23: like I don't want to be a doctor like you.
- 44:01Speaker 7: I don't want to be a lawyer like like mom.
- 44:03Speaker 7: I just want to be regular people.
- 44:04Speaker 27: And instead of acting disappointment because I'm not like you,
- 44:10Speaker 27: maybe you can just accept who I am and love
- 44:12Speaker 27: me anyway because I'm your son.
- 44:24Speaker 14: That's the dumbest thing I've never heard in you.
- 44:29Speaker 7: No wonder you get d's and everything.
- 44:34Speaker 23: And so for me that was significant because it's set
- 44:37Speaker 23: the tone for the show, like any other show at
- 44:39Speaker 23: that point, the music would have started, correct, the father
- 44:41Speaker 23: and son would have hugged, but he, you know, he
- 44:44Speaker 23: went left with that, and I just love that because
- 44:47Speaker 23: that set the tone that this was going to be
- 44:50Speaker 23: a different kind of show.
- 44:52Speaker 5: Gotcha, we're gonna talk to about other stuff other the copy.
- 44:54Speaker 5: As a fan, I gotta get some.
- 44:57Speaker 7: First time, no doubt.
- 44:59Speaker 4: Did you have a keep the Gordon Show?
- 45:01Speaker 2: I did not.
- 45:01Speaker 23: I think it's in the Smithsonian if I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 45:06Speaker 4: That was.
- 45:06Speaker 23: That was one of our That was that was definitely
- 45:08Speaker 23: one of our most fun and for me, most memorable episodes.
- 45:12Speaker 5: You never get approached about doing a Gordon guardtrail clothing line,
- 45:15Speaker 5: Malcolm Jamal warns.
- 45:16Speaker 23: Gordon, I'm surprised I have not, but I see there's
- 45:19Speaker 23: a Gordon guartrail like t shirt line out there.
- 45:22Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
- 45:24Speaker 6: How much of the show was free, free done and
- 45:27Speaker 6: how much was actually written? Like were you allowed to
- 45:29Speaker 6: go off script? Because some of that stuff just seemed
- 45:31Speaker 6: like y'all were.
- 45:31Speaker 23: Going we we had to often go off script because
- 45:35Speaker 23: it's so it takes it typically takes five days to
- 45:39Speaker 23: do a sitcom. We were doing that we got down
- 45:42Speaker 23: to like three and a half days, and you know,
- 45:45Speaker 23: most of those uh storylines came from mister Cosby's monologues, right, So.
- 45:51Speaker 7: We were a very under rehearsed show.
- 45:54Speaker 23: So when it was time to tape the show, oftentimes,
- 45:58Speaker 23: you know, if mister had like a model or something,
- 46:00Speaker 23: he wouldn't know.
- 46:01Speaker 7: The monologue, so he'd like, he'd go left.
- 46:04Speaker 23: And the fun part for us was when we when
- 46:07Speaker 23: he went left, we had to go left with him. So,
- 46:09Speaker 23: you know, for me it was great because it's like, oh,
- 46:11Speaker 23: this is theater now we just you know, we're you know, you.
- 46:13Speaker 7: Follow, if you follow the leader, you follow the followers
- 46:15Speaker 7: what we call.
- 46:16Speaker 23: It, so uh, you know, And and I love seeing
- 46:19Speaker 23: those moments uh with him and him and Olivia were cool.
- 46:22Speaker 23: But like those moments with him and Keisha, you know
- 46:25Speaker 23: because at the time, you know, Keisha was four, so
- 46:28Speaker 23: she didn't know how to read, so she had to
- 46:30Speaker 23: know she had to remember what to say, how to
- 46:33Speaker 23: say it, and when to say it. Wow, and the
- 46:35Speaker 23: wind was always based on the line before. So she's
- 46:38Speaker 23: doing things with mister Cosby and she's waiting for her
- 46:40Speaker 23: line and he's just talking and they would just make
- 46:43Speaker 23: It was just really cool to watch her and if
- 46:45Speaker 23: you go back, you could just see her little brain processing.
- 46:48Speaker 7: How to maneuver through you know, what's happening.
- 46:52Speaker 23: So so though stuff was written, you know, there was
- 46:54Speaker 23: stuff that had to be kind of off book because
- 46:57Speaker 23: we were we were following him and Felicia was the
- 46:59Speaker 23: best at that and you look at those episodes.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Rest in peace to Malcolm Jamal Warner.
- 47:03Speaker 6: But getting back on an interview when he was up
- 47:06Speaker 6: here very sad condolences to his family.
- 47:08Speaker 7: Is the breakfast club?
- 47:09Speaker 6: I was gonna ask you, you never got caught up
- 47:11Speaker 6: in the drug world or alcohol because Studio fifty four
- 47:14Speaker 6: Last quartersback then was no.
- 47:16Speaker 23: I could be around it, but it just wasn't That
- 47:19Speaker 23: wasn't me. I mean, you know, look my father named
- 47:22Speaker 23: me after Malcolm X and Ama Jamal, Like my father
- 47:24Speaker 23: was not playing wow. So that's why I say, like,
- 47:27Speaker 23: like before the fame, my foundation was so solid that
- 47:33Speaker 23: I could be I could be around all that stuff
- 47:35Speaker 23: and not have to participate in that.
- 47:38Speaker 7: So to be able to.
- 47:40Speaker 23: Enjoy everything that being famous had to offer without being
- 47:44Speaker 23: a knucklehead. And again, being in New York is different
- 47:46Speaker 23: from growing up on television in LA, because in LA,
- 47:50Speaker 23: your best friend is on the same lot on stage
- 47:53Speaker 23: next door, whereas here in New York there weren't other
- 47:55Speaker 23: shows here, so I wasn't hanging out with actors.
- 47:58Speaker 5: Now, I got to give all proper to your parents,
- 48:00Speaker 5: because you know, even when you talk to somebody like
- 48:02Speaker 5: Kim Field is the same thing.
- 48:03Speaker 4: She gives all her credit to her her mom. Because
- 48:06Speaker 4: y'all had every y'all had every right to wild out.
- 48:09Speaker 4: Y'all are the biggest things moving.
- 48:12Speaker 23: Yeah, but we also we also came on the heels
- 48:15Speaker 23: of Gary Todd Bridges and Danna Plato, so like, oh,
- 48:20Speaker 23: we overlapped.
- 48:22Speaker 7: Their you know, their journey. So for I just felt like, well,
- 48:27Speaker 7: we got no excuse.
- 48:29Speaker 23: You learned from that, Yeah, like we're seeing it's like
- 48:31Speaker 23: you hear about stuff and throughout history, but this was
- 48:34Speaker 23: happening right now, Like I'm looking at Todd Bridges, So
- 48:38Speaker 23: there was really no excuse for us to wild out
- 48:41Speaker 23: like that. But again I also say, because we lived
- 48:45Speaker 23: in New York and not LA, we weren't hanging around
- 48:47Speaker 23: other Hollywood kids when we were shooting in Brooklyn. Uh,
- 48:51Speaker 23: the NBC studios on Avenue M and E's fourteenth Street.
- 48:55Speaker 23: They didn't have a commissary, so at lunch we had
- 48:58Speaker 23: to go out into the neighborhood and get that we're
- 49:00Speaker 23: gonna eat.
- 49:01Speaker 7: We moved to a coffin the story. Their commissary was whack, so.
- 49:05Speaker 23: We went out into the neighborhood and went and got
- 49:07Speaker 23: would get our lunch. So it was just a very
- 49:10Speaker 23: different experience, uh, that we had, being able to grow
- 49:14Speaker 23: up in New York rather than grow uping television.
- 49:18Speaker 6: In holl You said something earlier and I wanted to
- 49:20Speaker 6: ask you about and you were saying that when you
- 49:21Speaker 6: were promoting your jazz album, a lot of these outlets
- 49:24Speaker 6: were saying that the only way that you can come
- 49:26Speaker 6: up here is if you asked a question, if your
- 49:28Speaker 6: answer question about Bill Cosby.
- 49:30Speaker 2: How were you able to navigate all those questions?
- 49:33Speaker 6: Because although you have your own stuff going on, you're
- 49:35Speaker 6: doing plays, you're acting, you're doing movies, sitcoms. You know,
- 49:39Speaker 6: you have your music, but you almost gonna want to
- 49:41Speaker 6: be like, I get it, but this is what I'm
- 49:43Speaker 6: here for. So how did you navigate through all that
- 49:44Speaker 6: without you know, going down those those those lanes.
- 49:48Speaker 23: By turning the you know, by by whatever the question is.
- 49:52Speaker 23: Answering it, you know, the best way I could, Like.
- 49:55Speaker 2: They want to know, did you see him do this?
- 49:58Speaker 2: What about this?
- 49:59Speaker 14: You know?
- 49:59Speaker 23: And the the reality is, I'm not in a position
- 50:01Speaker 23: like whatever it is you're trying to ask. I don't know.
- 50:04Speaker 23: I was, I was when I was a kid. And again,
- 50:08Speaker 23: I you know that was that was Innus's dad, you know.
- 50:11Speaker 23: So I am not in a position to defend him
- 50:15Speaker 23: at all. And there's no need for me to try
- 50:19Speaker 23: to throw him under the bus because the rest of
- 50:21Speaker 23: the world is doing that. And you know, like like
- 50:24Speaker 23: you know, the real is, I know what everybody else knows,
- 50:29Speaker 23: and everybody else.
- 50:30Speaker 7: Knows what the press has told them.
- 50:33Speaker 23: So I don't really have I don't really have a
- 50:37Speaker 23: real ground to stand on to speak on it as
- 50:40Speaker 23: much as anybody else does, you know.
- 50:42Speaker 5: So, and you might be biased because you didn't you
- 50:45Speaker 5: saw a whole different side of him that none of
- 50:47Speaker 5: us are privy too.
- 50:48Speaker 23: Yeah, yes, and and and I saw ah, I saw
- 50:53Speaker 23: a very human side of it, like what everybody else is. Like,
- 50:56Speaker 23: you know, he's America's famous, you know, favorite dad, and
- 50:59Speaker 23: you know, they they as people do with celebrities, you know,
- 51:05Speaker 23: they put us on a pedestal. And again that's why,
- 51:07Speaker 23: as a kid, I don't want to be considered a
- 51:09Speaker 23: role model and be perfect, cause I'm like, that's not me.
- 51:11Speaker 23: But that's what we do to people. So while everyone
- 51:14Speaker 23: is you know, I'm like, he's a man, he's got
- 51:19Speaker 23: he's got his own, got his own faults and whatever
- 51:21Speaker 23: faults I saw, though, it wasn't that. I you know,
- 51:24Speaker 23: like mm hmm, I saw a man. So it's a
- 51:27Speaker 23: different it's a different experience for me, uh than it
- 51:31Speaker 23: is for everybody else.
- 51:32Speaker 5: I've always loved how black your name is man and
- 51:35Speaker 5: finding out that you named after Malcolm Mexican.
- 51:38Speaker 4: You said, Okay, I'm not familiar with ma.
- 51:42Speaker 23: He's he's a renowned jazz pianist, but he's a if
- 51:47Speaker 23: you could be a jazz pianist and be militant as
- 51:51Speaker 23: that's agin.
- 51:52Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 51:53Speaker 6: I wasn't gonna ask before you get about of here,
- 51:55Speaker 6: would you mind doing a poem?
- 51:57Speaker 7: Okay, this piece is.
- 52:01Speaker 23: A Santa Sana about a guy in comrade, but you're
- 52:06Speaker 23: still in that freedom word. Well, you know, me and
- 52:11Speaker 23: this poetry, we still be on that weed, that birthing
- 52:14Speaker 23: inspirational couplets and breedoms that I spit cats should heed them.
- 52:20Speaker 23: That words can't break my bones, but if you cut
- 52:23Speaker 23: me homes, I bleed them. Atonement for the masses of
- 52:29Speaker 23: hard asses and heads that tread on civil liberties in
- 52:32Speaker 23: the most uncivilized fashion is said to be dead. Can
- 52:36Speaker 23: we afford to be dumb for free?
- 52:38Speaker 7: See?
- 52:38Speaker 23: That's the question I'm asking as I beg for an
- 52:41Speaker 23: ounce of truth amongst the aloof surrounding me. My vices
- 52:45Speaker 23: are proof that these demons keep pounding me. Reality keeps
- 52:50Speaker 23: pounding me, almost astounding me into the strange hypocrisy. You see,
- 52:55Speaker 23: I preach the same hope that I'm losing daily. Like
- 52:59Speaker 23: my relation people are deep, I bear my soul. I
- 53:03Speaker 23: stand on the precipice of this crossroads. It's like I
- 53:06Speaker 23: want to give my life to the cause, but which
- 53:08Speaker 23: one ignorance is running so ridiculously rampant. I can't tell
- 53:12Speaker 23: if I'm hating or merely debating just for fun. But
- 53:16Speaker 23: I do know my heart heaves heavy upon hearing the
- 53:20Speaker 23: fluttering hum of the feeble footsteps of fear, stamping out
- 53:24Speaker 23: the ferocious flames of our dogged desire and determination to
- 53:27Speaker 23: outpace the perilous prophecy. Our captors have programmed to be
- 53:31Speaker 23: our faith and thus our fate. I know my soul
- 53:36Speaker 23: soul rise with anxiety aches. Lies no longer need disguise
- 53:41Speaker 23: when they start looking like the truth, like how do
- 53:44Speaker 23: we ignore cries of ill guided youth spitting dope bars
- 53:49Speaker 23: of self hate overbeats that bang harder than strange fruit hangs. Meanwhile,
- 53:55Speaker 23: her breast hang and her booty bangs harder than the
- 53:57Speaker 23: gun collapse of rival gangs fighting over territory they don't
- 54:01Speaker 23: even own, and in.
- 54:03Speaker 7: Magic cities everywhere.
- 54:05Speaker 23: She feeds her babies based on her ability to shake
- 54:08Speaker 23: what her mama gave her because her pops was too
- 54:10Speaker 23: busy breaking in his disappearing act to save her from
- 54:12Speaker 23: these mean streets that eat the milk in one swallow.
- 54:15Speaker 23: Lies no longer need disguise when the truth is viewed
- 54:18Speaker 23: as hollow through the eyes that need it most. We
- 54:24Speaker 23: descendants of stolen legacies, children of ancestors who cannot be
- 54:31Speaker 23: broken birthers, and bearers of a culture that has been
- 54:36Speaker 23: repeatedly robbed and ransacked to feed the spiritually famine like
- 54:40Speaker 23: a black woman's bosom, We who become a pre existing condition,
- 54:46Speaker 23: simply because we pre exist, we who realize we are worthy.
- 54:54Speaker 23: We are the guardians. We are the gardeners. We are
- 54:59Speaker 23: the soil, We are the toil. We are the protectors
- 55:02Speaker 23: of our sieves who need to be protected, who need
- 55:04Speaker 23: to see true love and black excellence redirected not through
- 55:10Speaker 23: fame and fortune, but redirected through character. Indeed, and indeed,
- 55:17Speaker 23: it is those who stand on the front line fighting
- 55:20Speaker 23: for the minds of our young, black and gifted. It
- 55:23Speaker 23: is you who are in inspiration to me because you
- 55:27Speaker 23: are the revolution we do not see on TV. Sante Sna.
- 55:32Speaker 7: Nice ladies and gentlemen.
- 55:35Speaker 5: Malcolm, you know what I just thought about what fathers
- 55:43Speaker 5: doing father things and uh, you know, passing away tragically
- 55:48Speaker 5: hits so different.
- 55:50Speaker 4: The first one we heard was Kobe, Yes.
- 55:52Speaker 5: You and I And I remember being in Atlantic City
- 55:55Speaker 5: on that Sunday with my daughter at her chair competition
- 55:58Speaker 5: and just thinking to myself, just the man and getting
- 56:00Speaker 5: up in the morning to go do something his daughter's
- 56:03Speaker 5: extracurricular activity and end up passing away with his daughter.
- 56:06Speaker 5: And it's the same thing with Malcolm Jamal Water on
- 56:09Speaker 5: vacation with your family, being a father and something tragic happens.
- 56:13Speaker 6: Tragic happens, my god. Yeah, but you can't, you know,
- 56:16Speaker 6: you can't live life scared. You still gotta go on.
- 56:18Speaker 6: But it is tragic, you know.
- 56:20Speaker 4: It just shows you that you can't control it.
- 56:22Speaker 5: You know, like, no matter what you put out into
- 56:24Speaker 5: the world, accidents just do happen.
- 56:27Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just a part of life.
- 56:29Speaker 6: Yeah, my wife told me yesterday, get your dumb ass
- 56:31Speaker 6: off that city bike. I rode the city by yesterday. Upstairs,
- 56:33Speaker 6: I have no helmet on, and we riding, and the
- 56:35Speaker 6: electric bikes they fast. My wife is like, what's what's
- 56:37Speaker 6: wrong with you?
- 56:38Speaker 5: First of all, never let your dumb ass lead the
- 56:40Speaker 5: house without a helmet. Okay, we shouldn't even let you
- 56:42Speaker 5: be in here without help. Shut up, we shouldn't shut up.
- 56:47Speaker 5: Let's get to the lat.
- 56:52Speaker 2: She gets somebody that knows somebody detail.
- 56:56Speaker 15: I'm not God that knows a little bit about everything.
- 56:59Speaker 19: She'd be having the latest on such Sabagas the Lawns,
- 57:02Speaker 19: the latest with Lauren La Rosea.
- 57:04Speaker 5: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
- 57:06Speaker 5: have a little bit everything.
- 57:07Speaker 3: It's the lead on the breakfast club, something to me,
- 57:10Speaker 3: don't to me?
- 57:11Speaker 22: Well and keeping the conversation going on fatherhood and continuing
- 57:15Speaker 22: to honor Malcolm Jamal Warner. One of the most dynamic
- 57:18Speaker 22: fathers and duos that we saw on TV was Bill
- 57:21Speaker 22: Cosby and Malcolm Jamal Warner. Now Bill Cosby has actually
- 57:25Speaker 22: broke his silence and spoke out about the passing of
- 57:27Speaker 22: malcolm 's Take a listen when.
- 57:29Speaker 16: The news came to me, and the news came to
- 57:33Speaker 16: me in a way that we're not really sure. We
- 57:37Speaker 16: don't know this, and yeah, we don't know what because
- 57:40Speaker 16: it's the same way I got the news about Ennis.
- 57:44Speaker 16: I don't know about swimming. I don't know what came
- 57:51Speaker 16: and got him. But I do know that he is
- 57:57Speaker 16: an honest person and that media, I hope will show
- 58:02Speaker 16: the respect for him.
- 58:05Speaker 7: Yes, period.
- 58:07Speaker 22: He was speaking to Bill Cosby was speaking to Frankie
- 58:09Speaker 22: Darcel from w d S in that interview and also
- 58:13Speaker 22: show Bill Cosby. According to Frankie Darcel from w DS.
- 58:17Speaker 4: But he there was might have been Godfrey. Are we sure?
- 58:24Speaker 6: But Bill said that you know, he looked at him
- 58:25Speaker 6: as like he felt like he lost another son, when
- 58:27Speaker 6: when you know, when he passed away, when Malcolm passed away,
- 58:30Speaker 6: because his son passed away when he was younger.
- 58:33Speaker 15: Yes, yep.
- 58:34Speaker 22: And there was also a story that Bill Cosby's rep
- 58:38Speaker 22: did with TMZ where he kind of echoed some of
- 58:40Speaker 22: the sentiments that he shared with Frankie Darcel. But he
- 58:43Speaker 22: also talked about, you know the fact that he had
- 58:45Speaker 22: spoken to Malcolm about three months ago. Malcolm was really
- 58:47Speaker 22: excited about something new that he had written, and you know,
- 58:49Speaker 22: he was just on this whole conquest to.
- 58:51Speaker 15: Save the world through his art.
- 58:53Speaker 22: But I did want to, you know, warm up the
- 58:55Speaker 22: moment a bit, because I think a lot of people
- 58:57Speaker 22: right now are just remembering how good the Cosby Chowfa
- 59:00Speaker 22: moments made you feel. And I think that's why most,
- 59:03Speaker 22: like our caller said this morning, you feel like you
- 59:05Speaker 22: know Malcolm personally because of that show. So we have
- 59:08Speaker 22: a clip from one of the episodes in the show
- 59:10Speaker 22: from the Cosby Show.
- 59:10Speaker 15: Let's take a listen.
- 59:11Speaker 27: You're a doctor and mom's a lawyer and both successful
- 59:14Speaker 27: and everything, and that's great. Maybe I was born to
- 59:18Speaker 27: be a regular person and have a regular life. If
- 59:21Speaker 27: you want a doctor, I wouldn't love you less because
- 59:25Speaker 27: you're my dad. And so instead of acting disappointment because
- 59:31Speaker 27: I'm not like you, maybe you can just accept who
- 59:34Speaker 27: I am and love me anyway because I'm your son.
- 59:43Speaker 23: Feel that's the dumbest thing.
- 59:49Speaker 2: No wonder you get d's or everything.
- 59:56Speaker 28: Oh my god, that's that's that was one of my
- 59:59Speaker 28: favorite episodes. That one of my favorite THEO moments, you know,
- 1:00:01Speaker 28: amongst others, But.
- 1:00:02Speaker 15: Like, that is who I grew up on. That's what
- 1:00:06Speaker 15: I like. You know, I love to hear that.
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: This show was so influential. When I did the podcast
- 1:00:12Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago, we were joking about it.
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: He was like, you know, he doesn't really he realized
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: the influence of that show because so many people come
- 1:00:19Speaker 6: up to him and not just.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: That show, of course the different world as well.
- 1:00:22Speaker 6: He was like, because people just lived that moment at
- 1:00:24Speaker 6: the time, that's all we really seen on television.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Wasn't that much on television.
- 1:00:28Speaker 6: So absolutely we got to lift through those Gordon Contreill
- 1:00:31Speaker 6: moments and when he got his ear ring moments and
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: you know.
- 1:00:34Speaker 5: All that stuff, like you've lived to it, you know,
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: Gordon got Trail was actually a staff a staff person
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: on a staff member of the show who became a
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: writer and producer.
- 1:00:43Speaker 28: Really good fact know that I met Malcolm Jamal warning
- 1:00:45Speaker 28: like when I used to live in LA like five
- 1:00:47Speaker 28: years ago, he was so cool, cool, cool cool and
- 1:00:51Speaker 28: I and of course, of course I was like THEO.
- 1:00:54Speaker 28: Just called him THEO and he just looked like and
- 1:00:56Speaker 28: I was like I grew up on you know, you know,
- 1:00:59Speaker 28: and then you know, went on to watch his other
- 1:01:00Speaker 28: projects and everything.
- 1:01:01Speaker 15: But he was just so cool.
- 1:01:02Speaker 28: Stop took a picture with me, was talking to me,
- 1:01:05Speaker 28: and it was it was amazing.
- 1:01:06Speaker 15: It was he was just like a regular.
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: Person, great brother.
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: I saw a clip last night that Malcolm Jamal Wanta
- 1:01:11Speaker 5: said he didn't want to be known that Malcolm Jamal
- 1:01:13Speaker 5: wanted the actor. He wanted to be known as Malcolm Jamal,
- 1:01:15Speaker 5: Malcolm Jamal wanna the man. And I agree because I
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: do not like seeing people say rip. Feel like Michcolm
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: Jamal Wanner was a real person, a real man, a
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: real human with a real family deals, a character.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:28Speaker 15: Absolutely, some people just just know him as you know
- 1:01:33Speaker 15: as CEO.
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: Will never forget you.
- 1:01:35Speaker 15: Know that that uh, that role that he played. I
- 1:01:39Speaker 15: think life in our houses basically.
- 1:01:41Speaker 22: You signed out to inspire through you know, he was
- 1:01:43Speaker 22: doing a lot of work through his podcast. As he
- 1:01:45Speaker 22: talking about being a dad, talking about being a man.
- 1:01:47Speaker 22: You know, through his work on camera sto people became doctors, HBCU, students, fathers.
- 1:01:52Speaker 22: You know, women wanted to be wives and be Claire
- 1:01:53Speaker 22: huck like all these things. You just talk about impact

- 1:03:33Speaker 5: Donkey to Day for Tuesday, July twenty second goes to
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: an eighteen year old young lady named Tripura mary X.
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: I think I'm pronouncing that right now. Triperia Tripura is
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: from Florida. And what does Youngshalla always say about the
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: great state of Florida. The craziest people in America come
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: no exception, okay. Tripura is charged with felony child neglect
- 1:03:56Speaker 5: for allegedly leaving her two year old daughter unattended and
- 1:03:59Speaker 5: a two thousand and two Cadillac Escalade. Now I'm reading
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: this story and it says this young lady left her
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: two year old daughter locked up in a hot car
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: with a heat index of one hundred and seven degrees. Now,
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: I could stop donkey of to day right here. Okay,
- 1:04:12Speaker 5: I could let the heat hal fly right now, and
- 1:04:14Speaker 5: you all would completely understand, because there is absolutely never
- 1:04:17Speaker 5: a reason to leave your two year old daughter two
- 1:04:20Speaker 5: year old child period unattended in a car. Ever, the
- 1:04:23Speaker 5: temperature don't even matter. Okay, I don't care if the
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: weather was perfect outside. You don't leave your two year
- 1:04:28Speaker 5: old unattended anywhere. But there is a reason, Okay, there
- 1:04:32Speaker 5: is a reason that Tripura left her daughter unattended in
- 1:04:35Speaker 5: this car. Please remember that just because there is a reason,
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: it doesn't mean it was a good one.
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:04:40Speaker 5: I can't think of what would be a good reason
- 1:04:42Speaker 5: to do what she did, but I know for sure
- 1:04:44Speaker 5: this ain't it.
- 1:04:45Speaker 7: Okay.
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: Would you like to know what happened? Let me read
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: this from.
- 1:04:48Speaker 7: Law and Crime. Okay, Law and Crime.
- 1:04:50Speaker 5: A Florida teenager is accused of leaving her two year
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: old daughter locked up in a hot car with a
- 1:04:56Speaker 5: heat index of one hundred and seven degrees while the
- 1:05:00Speaker 5: young woman watched the New Smurfs movie.
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: At a movie theater with her own siblings.
- 1:05:06Speaker 5: Okay, she locked the kid in the car because she
- 1:05:09Speaker 5: went to see the Smurfs movie with her brother and sister,
- 1:05:12Speaker 5: and while they were watching the movie, the child kept
- 1:05:15Speaker 5: crying loudly and caused the disturbance, so she decided to
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: take the kid out to the lobbies. The eventually locked
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: the kid and the escalade. She even admitted to the
- 1:05:23Speaker 5: cops that she had done this a few times before.
- 1:05:26Speaker 5: Cops said she had a real nonchalant attitude about it.
- 1:05:29Speaker 7: It wasn't a big deal.
- 1:05:30Speaker 4: Okay, they had to break the window.
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: Like you know, people were passing by saw the little
- 1:05:35Speaker 5: girl in discress, so they had to break the window
- 1:05:38Speaker 5: to get the young girl out. What do they call it?
- 1:05:41Speaker 5: They had to break the driverside window. Yes, she said
- 1:05:43Speaker 5: she was visibly discressed. The child had a flushed red appearance,
- 1:05:46Speaker 5: was sweating profusely, and was crying in distress.
- 1:05:49Speaker 7: That's what the cops alleged.
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: She left her two year old daughter unattended in a
- 1:05:55Speaker 5: hot car so she could go watch the Smurfs movie
- 1:05:58Speaker 5: with her own siblings.
- 1:05:59Speaker 7: This is why kids shouldn't have kids.
- 1:06:01Speaker 5: Okay, she's eighteen, Her daughter is too, so she got
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: pregnant at like fifteen. All right, we as a society
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: should really be against that. In these are the reasons
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: why fifteen and sixteen you should be focused on getting
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: your permit and your license, not focused on getting prenatal care. Okay,
- 1:06:15Speaker 5: a sixteen year old should be worried about semesters, not trimestics.
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: And this is the reason why she's not even and
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: this is the reason why, because she's not even cognitively
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: prepared to raise a child. She's eighteen. Okay, she's still
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: a goddamn child herself. And you know what, kids hate responsibility.
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: And you know what's the biggest responsibility in the world.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Kids?
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: Okay, kids are the most significant responsibility a person can have.
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: If you actually care enough to raise your kids, if
- 1:06:41Speaker 5: you actually care enough to be in your kid's life,
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: then there is no greater obligation.
- 1:06:46Speaker 7: All their basic needs.
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: Food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education, and ensuring their welfare and safety. Tripua,
- 1:06:54Speaker 5: did you hear the last part ensuring their welfare in safety?
- 1:07:01Speaker 5: You treated your two year old the way you wouldn't
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: even treat your phone.
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: Okay, you are eighteen.
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: You would lose your mind if you left your phone
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: unattended anywhere.
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: Okay, you would.
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: Never leave your phone unattended, but you got no problem
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: leaving your child unattended to go see the Smurfs movie
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: with your siblings. I bet all your siblings was your
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: age and younger too, Okay, A bunch of kids and
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: you trying to raise one because there's no way people
- 1:07:29Speaker 5: with you don't be like, well, where's the baby? Oh,
- 1:07:31Speaker 5: I just left him in the car, and y'all just
- 1:07:32Speaker 5: continue watching the movie all together, one big, happy family.
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: By the way, I took my daughters to see the
- 1:07:36Speaker 5: Smurfs last weekend. I don't remember it being that fire. Okay,
- 1:07:40Speaker 5: not fire enough to put your child in a car
- 1:07:42Speaker 5: unattended because you might.
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: Miss them, all right, tell I fell asleep because.
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: There was questions about the Smurfs that I never asked
- 1:07:48Speaker 5: myself as a child, But as an adult, I'm like, damn, okay,
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: number one. And this is coming from the most unhealed
- 1:07:54Speaker 5: parts of my psyche where the holes at Okay? I mean,
- 1:07:59Speaker 5: there is no ladies in Smurfs village. Okay, Smurfect the
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: only one, and she was made of clay, So who
- 1:08:06Speaker 5: would have Smurf's reproducing.
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: With there's a Papa Smurf, but no Mama Smurf.
- 1:08:10Speaker 5: Now we understand why one smurfs so grouchy because he
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: ain't getting no cheeks. And I did some research, and
- 1:08:15Speaker 5: by research, I googled why are there no female Smurfs,
- 1:08:18Speaker 5: and it said natural born Smurfs are predominantly male, and
- 1:08:22Speaker 5: female Smurfs are created through magic.
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: Huh magic.
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: So this leads me to one conclusion, and that conclusion
- 1:08:29Speaker 5: is that the Smurfs are all butt babies. Okay, Papa
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: Smurf be airing out clumsy, brainy vanity and handy shooting.
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: They clubs are getting them pregnant, and they be having
- 1:08:37Speaker 5: butt babies. Now keep in mind I'm slightly retarded. Listen, okay, okay,
- 1:08:41Speaker 5: you're listening to a retarded person here, all right. So
- 1:08:43Speaker 5: it was brought to my attention that the Stalk delivers Smurfs.
- 1:08:47Speaker 7: All right.
- 1:08:47Speaker 5: I don't know if y'all seen that on the cartoon,
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: to Stalk brings the babies, right, So if that's the case,
- 1:08:51Speaker 5: that explains how the babies get here. But it still
- 1:08:54Speaker 5: means that Smurf village in the village here in New
- 1:08:56Speaker 5: York are the gayest villages in the world. Okay, I'm
- 1:08:58Speaker 5: saying all that to say I would sleep within the
- 1:09:00Speaker 5: first twenty minutes of the Smurf movie. Okay, once I
- 1:09:03Speaker 5: ate my popcorn and my peanut M and m's, I
- 1:09:05Speaker 5: was out and I woke up in time to see
- 1:09:06Speaker 5: the Smurf's defeat Gargabel.
- 1:09:08Speaker 7: But I wasn't impressed.
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: Okay, I'm shocked that you love the Smurfs that much
- 1:09:12Speaker 5: to Poora. All right, kids, listen to me. Let Tropera
- 1:09:15Speaker 5: be a. Listen to you, all all right, you want
- 1:09:17Speaker 5: to be out here popping that poom poom at a
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: young age, you get pregnant, keep the baby.
- 1:09:21Speaker 7: You don't have a life anymore. Okay.
- 1:09:24Speaker 5: Your primary responsibility is that child, all right. If you
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: don't want that responsibility, then keep your mother freaking legs closed.
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: Please letr me Ma give trip Pure Americs the biggest
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: he huh.
- 1:09:35Speaker 15: Hee ha he ha.
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: You stupid motherfuck?
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: Are you dumb?
- 1:09:41Speaker 15: That's crazy. I don't understand why the baby couldn't go
- 1:09:44Speaker 15: into movies with her. If it was a kid's movie.
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: She was there, but then she started crying and called
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: them a disturbance, so she took the baby out.
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: It's not funny with people.
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: Damn. People are so stupid, not stupid, very retarded.
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: And this is why we got to keep using that
- 1:09:57Speaker 5: word and don't ever retire that word, because there's no
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: other way to explain people like this.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: What race was she?
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: No, she was blue.
- 1:10:04Speaker 7: She was a smurf. Yeah, all right, she was smurf.

- 1:13:33Speaker 18: just you know, growing up watching the Copy Show and everything,
- 1:13:36Speaker 18: and really is hitting close to home for me because

- 1:13:44Speaker 18: I'm from. So shout out to you, Envy, who might
- 1:13:47Speaker 18: be my cousin.

- 1:14:08Speaker 2: I think my dad owned some land. My dad owns
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: some land out there. I gotta go check my dad.
- 1:14:13Speaker 7: Money is.
- 1:14:16Speaker 18: Definitely no and he definitely needs to come out there
- 1:14:19Speaker 18: with me. Because one thing about Dominica, it is a
- 1:14:22Speaker 18: very small island and everybody is definitely related so.
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: Each other.
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: They didn't laugh, but they don't know. They don't know
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: why we laughing.

- 1:14:39Speaker 2: Casey is the last name.
- 1:14:42Speaker 17: I'm a little Blanc.
- 1:14:43Speaker 18: So if your dad knows any le Blanc and LeBlanc
- 1:14:46Speaker 18: is definitely a prominent name. Because the main highway in
- 1:14:49Speaker 18: Dominica is the Edward Oliver LeBlanc Highway. So my family is,
- 1:14:54Speaker 18: you know, a little bit of a restcracy. So I'm
- 1:14:56Speaker 18: definitely gonna ask about Casey for sure, real, Charlemagne, Dominica
- 1:15:01Speaker 18: is the nature island of the Caribbean. It is one
- 1:15:04Speaker 18: of the most beautiful places in the world. Any I
- 1:15:07Speaker 18: mean for health and wellness, you just want to be
- 1:15:10Speaker 18: rejuvenated and just be one with nature. That's definitely where
- 1:15:13Speaker 18: you need to go. So don't be making fun of

- 1:15:21Speaker 18: you know recentees to Malcolm Jamal Warner. It's just really
- 1:15:25Speaker 18: sad hearing how he passed just doing something so normal
- 1:15:30Speaker 18: on vacation with his family. So that's why I said,
- 1:15:32Speaker 18: it kind of hit close to home for me because
- 1:15:35Speaker 18: we literally just the reason for our family reunion was
- 1:15:39Speaker 18: because we experienced so much loss in the past five
- 1:15:42Speaker 18: years from dealing with my parents during COVID, you know,
- 1:15:47Speaker 18: my cousin. So we finally just was, you know what,
- 1:15:50Speaker 18: this is the right time to give each other our
- 1:15:53Speaker 18: flowers while we're still here. So it's just really unfortunate
- 1:15:57Speaker 18: to hear that he passed just you know, on the
- 1:16:00Speaker 18: Kashaw's family doing something normal and fun.
- 1:16:03Speaker 17: You know, it's very tragic.
- 1:16:04Speaker 7: So there's something normal, and.
- 1:16:09Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you.
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: Because for real appreciate me.
- 1:16:12Speaker 18: We go on vacation and literally when I was in Dominica,
- 1:16:15Speaker 18: I was in the river, you know, just like on
- 1:16:17Speaker 18: on on the rocks and of hanging off a cliffs
- 1:16:21Speaker 18: and same palmon trees, and you just never realize how
- 1:16:24Speaker 18: something so you know, just normal, something that you do
- 1:16:28Speaker 18: every day, like your habitat can literally just take a
- 1:16:31Speaker 18: turn for the words like mother nature, you know nature.
- 1:16:34Speaker 17: It's just unfortunate.
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: So you.
- 1:16:39Speaker 5: And you better not start calling yourself French. Okay, you
- 1:16:42Speaker 5: can't be Dominican and then start claiming French. Don't you dare?
- 1:16:46Speaker 7: Next thing?
- 1:16:47Speaker 5: You know, if you'll be on a fly for a
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: French party, it'll be I can see. I know you, bro,
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: don't do it?
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: Are y'all talking about you?
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: Funny?
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: How funny?
- 1:16:55Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: Yes you are.
- 1:16:56Speaker 28: You're so happy with just so everyone. That girl called
- 1:17:00Speaker 28: you our cousin. You foun out she's from Dominique, Like,
- 1:17:02Speaker 28: all right.
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: I've been to that. I'll be telling y' y'all be listening.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: Did you talking about my father?
- 1:17:07Speaker 15: Got laying over there?
- 1:17:08Speaker 4: God get out?
- 1:17:11Speaker 6: Father passed away in the city where we was, had
- 1:17:14Speaker 6: land where he just never went to see it.
- 1:17:15Speaker 7: So I was.
- 1:17:16Speaker 6: Curious eight hundred and five eight five, one oh five
- 1:17:20Speaker 6: when we're talking.
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: Malcolm Jamaal Warner, what's.
- 1:17:22Speaker 14: That breakfast club?
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Ja?
- 1:17:24Speaker 9: Hello?
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: Good morning?
- 1:17:26Speaker 17: So what's up crew?
- 1:17:28Speaker 14: Good morning?
- 1:17:29Speaker 29: So I just wanted to be brief and intentional. I
- 1:17:32Speaker 29: remember where I was when Kobe passed away. It made
- 1:17:34Speaker 29: me hit reset on some of the things I was
- 1:17:36Speaker 29: doing in my life. And then with the passion of
- 1:17:37Speaker 29: Malcolm Jamal Warner. You know, his family was the first
- 1:17:40Speaker 29: family I saw in my neighborhood on TV you name it,
- 1:17:43Speaker 29: coming from a single family home. So I hope men
- 1:17:46Speaker 29: take this and put this in perspective because I see
- 1:17:48Speaker 29: so much a THEO and my son, some of the
- 1:17:50Speaker 29: mistakes he's making, some of the things he's trying to
- 1:17:52Speaker 29: figure out the intentional. The reason I said I did
- 1:17:55Speaker 29: something last week. I went on a trip with my brothers.
- 1:17:58Speaker 29: Hadn't spent any time with them in probably first thing years.
- 1:18:00Speaker 29: We went on a week long trip and if I
- 1:18:02Speaker 29: come back, I'm like, men have to be more intentional
- 1:18:05Speaker 29: with their time because we as a memorlized dolcolme, what's
- 1:18:08Speaker 29: your story going to be? So it just puts it
- 1:18:10Speaker 29: in perspective where as a man, we should be getting
- 1:18:12Speaker 29: our priority together. We should be taking care of our
- 1:18:14Speaker 29: family and most importantly, living our lives. Because I don't
- 1:18:17Speaker 29: want anybody to be afraid to take chances. But you
- 1:18:20Speaker 29: just got to go out and you never know what
- 1:18:21Speaker 29: time is yours, but be intentional with your time as
- 1:18:24Speaker 29: a man.
- 1:18:24Speaker 14: So that's what I got.
- 1:18:25Speaker 5: Man, You're absolutely right, Jaya because you know, Kobe and
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: Malcolm hit different because these are two brothers who didn't
- 1:18:32Speaker 5: get shot.
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: They didn't over those they ain't even died natural causes.
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: They were just living and living with their families.
- 1:18:38Speaker 5: You know, Kobe was out with his daughter doing her
- 1:18:41Speaker 5: extracurricular activity basketball. Malcolm was on vacation with his family,
- 1:18:44Speaker 5: just swimming, and you know they both met these tragic demises.
- 1:18:48Speaker 5: So yeah, those two just just hit different because that
- 1:18:51Speaker 5: can happen.
- 1:18:51Speaker 4: To any of us.
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: That's right, Hello, who's this scored?
- 1:18:59Speaker 17: What's up?
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: Brother talking?
- 1:19:00Speaker 14: Man?
- 1:19:01Speaker 8: Look, it wasn't blessed us to you all man much
- 1:19:03Speaker 8: much blessing to the whole breakfast club. And I pray
- 1:19:06Speaker 8: for you guys, miss middle State man any time. Here's
- 1:19:11Speaker 8: my thing and right now today with this, Malcolm Jamorrow
- 1:19:14Speaker 8: warning lost in man, feel like I feel like I
- 1:19:17Speaker 8: lost a cousin. Man, Like I really feel like I
- 1:19:20Speaker 8: lost a cousin, somebody I personally know, even though I
- 1:19:22Speaker 8: don't get the person. You feel Where'm coming from. So
- 1:19:26Speaker 8: here's my take right here. Everybody should do the best
- 1:19:30Speaker 8: they can to put out the most positive vice they
- 1:19:33Speaker 8: can make sure that they leave behind the best legacy
- 1:19:36Speaker 8: that they can to make their family wild and look
- 1:19:39Speaker 8: back on to where like, Okay, hey, I'm not embarrassed.
- 1:19:42Speaker 8: I'm not just saying another with all our humans, which
- 1:19:44Speaker 8: is true, but the only thing that we're guaranteed in
- 1:19:47Speaker 8: this world is death. So make sure you do the
- 1:19:49Speaker 8: bench who can leave behind the bench and give all
- 1:19:52Speaker 8: all positive vibes every chance you can, and much blessing
- 1:19:55Speaker 8: to y'all. Want to beginish the boar buriding him out
- 1:19:57Speaker 8: the batter of Louis Amnem and much the stack of y'all.
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: What's the moro of the story? Ain't no more? We
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: just over the phone.
- 1:20:04Speaker 5: No, it was interesting what he said because you know,
- 1:20:06Speaker 5: never I hear situations like this, I start thinking about karma, right,
- 1:20:08Speaker 5: and they say, karma in essence is the concept that
- 1:20:11Speaker 5: actions have consequences, which I believe and what you put
- 1:20:14Speaker 5: out into the world will eventually return to you, whether
- 1:20:17Speaker 5: good are bad. That part I'm never too sure about.
- 1:20:20Speaker 5: But you know, I do feel like situations like this
- 1:20:23Speaker 5: is just a reminder to be mindful of our actions
- 1:20:27Speaker 5: and their impact, because that's all you can think about
- 1:20:29Speaker 5: when a person goes right. All you hear right now
- 1:20:32Speaker 5: is how good of a person Malcolm Jamal Warner was.
- 1:20:34Speaker 5: All you hear about is the impact that he had
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: on people, you know, through his art and not just
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: his art.
- 1:20:39Speaker 14: Man.
- 1:20:39Speaker 5: The thing that I love is when I hear people
- 1:20:40Speaker 5: that say they worked with him and they met him
- 1:20:42Speaker 5: and how good of a person he was, because that's
- 1:20:44Speaker 5: the energy I felt when I was around him a
- 1:20:46Speaker 5: couple of times.
- 1:20:47Speaker 4: So that's really truly all we can be responsible for.
- 1:20:50Speaker 5: You can't say to yourself, I'm gonna do good things
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: and I expect, you know, good things to always happen
- 1:20:55Speaker 5: to me and bad things will never happen to me
- 1:20:57Speaker 5: because I do good things. No no, no, no, no no,
- 1:20:59Speaker 5: that's not the way. That's not the way this world.
- 1:21:01Speaker 5: This world works, man, like you just said, because accidents
- 1:21:04Speaker 5: do happen, sadly.
- 1:21:05Speaker 6: He was a good brother, and he was proud to
- 1:21:06Speaker 6: be a father, and he was proud to be a husband,
- 1:21:09Speaker 6: and he was proud to be something positive in the culture.
- 1:21:12Speaker 6: And you know, I think God for my time with
- 1:21:15Speaker 6: the brother, just sitting down and talking to him. So
- 1:21:17Speaker 6: definitely rest in peace. When we come back, we got
- 1:21:19Speaker 6: the latest with Lawrence, So don't go anywhere. It's the
- 1:21:21Speaker 6: breakfast local Morning.

- 1:21:33Speaker 7: Lauren be coming straight fast.
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: She gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail.
- 1:21:39Speaker 15: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
- 1:21:42Speaker 19: She'd be having the latest on its Sound, The Biggest Lawn,
- 1:21:46Speaker 19: The Latest with Laurence la Rosa.
- 1:21:47Speaker 5: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, Sometimes you
- 1:21:50Speaker 5: have a little bit of everything.
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
- 1:21:55Speaker 22: So we talked about Stephen Colbert in the Late Show cancelation,
- 1:21:59Speaker 22: and in his first show back on air since that
- 1:22:02Speaker 22: cancelation announcement, he addressed some things with Donald Trump because
- 1:22:05Speaker 22: Donald Trump, after the cancelation announcement happened, came out on
- 1:22:09Speaker 22: truth Social and said, I absolutely love that Colbert got fired.
- 1:22:12Speaker 15: His talent was even less than his ratings.
- 1:22:14Speaker 22: I hear Jimmy Kimmel's next has even less talent than Colbert.
- 1:22:18Speaker 22: Greg Gutfield is better than all of them combined, including
- 1:22:21Speaker 22: the moron on NBC who ruined the once Great Tonight Show.
- 1:22:25Speaker 22: So Stephen Colbert, like any you know great talk show
- 1:22:29Speaker 22: host said I'm addressed this right here on my platform.
- 1:22:31Speaker 22: Let's take a listen to Stephen Colbert on Trump.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: On Friday, Donald Trump posted, I absolutely love that.
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: Colbert got fired.
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: His talent was even less than his ratings. How dare you, sir?
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: Would an untalented man be able to compose the following
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: satirical witticism?
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: Go yourself, Stephen Colbert.
- 1:23:00Speaker 28: I love when they get you know, canceling the show
- 1:23:03Speaker 28: was taken off, and they take to their shows platform
- 1:23:06Speaker 28: to let people have it like Joyanne Read did the
- 1:23:08Speaker 28: same thing, and I love when you do that.
- 1:23:10Speaker 4: Well.
- 1:23:11Speaker 22: He also talked about because a lot of people were
- 1:23:12Speaker 22: having conversations in Trump mentioned ratings and then people who said,
- 1:23:16Speaker 22: then CBS came out and said this was a financial decision.
- 1:23:19Speaker 15: Colbert Colbert got into that too.
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: Let's say listen, CBS, our network, CBS, who I want
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: to reiterate, have always been great partners, put out a
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: statement saying a very you know, very nice things about
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: me and about the show, and thank you to them
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: for that. They clarified that the cancelation was purely a
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: financial decision. But how how could it purely be a
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: financial decision? If the late show is number one in ratings.
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: A lot of folks, A lot of folks are asking
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: that question, mainly my staff's parents and spouses. Well over
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: the weekend, somebody at CBS followed up their gracious press
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: release with a gracious anonymous leak saying they pulled the
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: plug on our show because of losses pegged between forty
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: million and fifty million dollars a year. Forty million is
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: a big number. I could see us losing twenty four
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: million dollars. But where would Paramount have possibly spent the
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: other sixteen million?
- 1:24:14Speaker 22: Oh yeah, yes, so he got right to the things
- 1:24:20Speaker 22: as he should in. The full monologue is available on
- 1:24:22Speaker 22: the on their YouTube channel as well. It's he makes
- 1:24:25Speaker 22: fun of almost everything that has been said about this cancelation.
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's really that simple for everybody saying that,
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: you know, the cob cancelation wasn't political and it was
- 1:24:33Speaker 5: just financial. Every single late night show is having financial
- 1:24:35Speaker 5: issues since COVID. Late night ad revenue has been damn
- 1:24:38Speaker 5: near cut in half, and every other show has done
- 1:24:40Speaker 5: things to cut back on costs.
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: Jimmy kimmelll doesn't work in the summer.
- 1:24:43Speaker 5: Jimmy Fallon only does four days a week seth Maya's
- 1:24:46Speaker 5: cut his band. They ain't even attempt to do anything
- 1:24:49Speaker 5: with Colbert. And out of all of late night shows
- 1:24:52Speaker 5: on regular TV, you get rid of the highest rated show.
- 1:24:54Speaker 4: You just get you just get rid of it.
- 1:24:56Speaker 5: And you think the same president who just told folks
- 1:24:59Speaker 5: in DC, if you don't change the name back to Redskins,
- 1:25:01Speaker 5: I'm not approving the new stadium. You don't think he
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: would do that a the CBS, knowing paramount needs him
- 1:25:05Speaker 5: to approve the merger between Scott Dance in Paramount. Come on,
- 1:25:08Speaker 5: come on, come on, now, come on now.
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: Well, yeah, things should be good down.
- 1:25:16Speaker 22: He made a joke about you know them text messages
- 1:25:19Speaker 22: that text you about like a job, and he made
- 1:25:21Speaker 22: a joke about getting one of those text messages too.
- 1:25:23Speaker 22: So he said he gonna figure it out.
- 1:25:28Speaker 7: He's gonna live his best life.
- 1:25:29Speaker 5: It's probably be some of the best late night we've
- 1:25:31Speaker 5: seen in a long time.
- 1:25:33Speaker 15: I agree.
- 1:25:35Speaker 22: Well, Speaking of other shows, Kirk Franklin has his show
- 1:25:38Speaker 22: Denn of Kings.
- 1:25:39Speaker 15: He was up there speaking about it. Yes, I love
- 1:25:41Speaker 15: the show as well.
- 1:25:42Speaker 22: So he sat down with Tyler Perry, Derek Hay's and
- 1:25:45Speaker 22: Geezi for another conversation in a new episode, and they
- 1:25:49Speaker 22: talked about a lot of different things. Tyler Perry, I'm sorry.
- 1:25:52Speaker 22: Before we get to Tyler Perry, Kirk Franklin opened up
- 1:25:55Speaker 22: about some of the mistakes he made in business early
- 1:25:57Speaker 22: on Let's take a listen.
- 1:25:59Speaker 30: I know that one of the biggest mistakes I made
- 1:26:04Speaker 30: at twenty three years old. I messed up then on
- 1:26:07Speaker 30: my publishing and didn't have the money that I could
- 1:26:11Speaker 30: have had.
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: I missed the opportunity to really.
- 1:26:13Speaker 7: Be a boss. R twenty three?
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: What what?
- 1:26:15Speaker 7: What album?
- 1:26:15Speaker 17: Was that?
- 1:26:16Speaker 7: The first record? Why We Sing record, the first Why
- 1:26:18Speaker 7: we Sing? Why We Sing?
- 1:26:20Speaker 31: You you didn't or you still don't own I.
- 1:26:23Speaker 30: Just started to own my publishing. Guess what song was?
- 1:26:25Speaker 30: My first song Onwing was taking me to the King
- 1:26:28Speaker 30: and Artist?
- 1:26:30Speaker 7: You kidding me?
- 1:26:30Speaker 30: So from my twinnies to my authorities, I owned none
- 1:26:34Speaker 30: of my publishing. Now, of course you know I got
- 1:26:37Speaker 30: my songwriter's part, but I didn't get what is the
- 1:26:39Speaker 30: most important part That people are right that that that copyright.
- 1:26:45Speaker 22: Can y'all imagine from that's crazy? That's the reason why
- 1:26:47Speaker 22: we sing all the way? To take me to all
- 1:26:49Speaker 22: those big, huge.
- 1:26:51Speaker 28: Songs, the Rebirth that like, all those albums that led
- 1:26:54Speaker 28: up to the one that Take Me So the King
- 1:26:56Speaker 28: was on.
- 1:26:57Speaker 15: That's crazy.
- 1:26:57Speaker 6: Crazy thing is most artists like that, though most all
- 1:27:00Speaker 6: done on the publishing. The label box it early on
- 1:27:02Speaker 6: gives him a little advance, and they're happy with that
- 1:27:04Speaker 6: advance at the time, and then when they started selling
- 1:27:06Speaker 6: recent like, oh how come.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: I ain't get no no, nothing to mail.
- 1:27:09Speaker 6: There's no checks coming in, and they got to sit
- 1:27:11Speaker 6: there and try to fight and buy it back.
- 1:27:12Speaker 5: I didn't see this video. What was they eating because
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: it sounds like his mouth was watering, like he couldn't
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: even talk.
- 1:27:16Speaker 22: But I forget what was on the menu this episode,
- 1:27:18Speaker 22: but they it's the chef makes it lie like, makes
- 1:27:21Speaker 22: it while they're talking and brings it out.
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: Franklin and z I know they're eating good. Who else
- 1:27:27Speaker 4: was there?
- 1:27:27Speaker 15: Derek?
- 1:27:27Speaker 22: Is he a pinky cold floody be Vegan. It's her husband.
- 1:27:30Speaker 22: He owns a cheese sick brand.
- 1:27:31Speaker 7: He's like a big.
- 1:27:32Speaker 6: Danger Philly cheesteak is as like. I think like fifteen
- 1:27:36Speaker 6: of them.
- 1:27:36Speaker 15: Yeah, I think they're also in Atlanta right now.
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: In Orlando, Atlanta.
- 1:27:40Speaker 5: Yeah, good brother, whatever they was eating with the taste
- 1:27:43Speaker 5: was still in Kerk's mouth.
- 1:27:44Speaker 4: He couldn't merely talk.
- 1:27:46Speaker 7: I thought he was cooking.
- 1:27:48Speaker 15: That's the chef plating.
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: The chef chef is there.
- 1:27:52Speaker 22: Yeah, And actually they were standing that They hadn't even
- 1:27:54Speaker 22: gotten like fully seated.
- 1:27:55Speaker 15: They were just like standing up.
- 1:27:56Speaker 22: So maybe I was like orders or something that he
- 1:27:58Speaker 22: was eating because they standing up in that clip. And
- 1:27:59Speaker 22: then they go aller parients, go sit let's go sit down.
- 1:28:01Speaker 22: Then they sit down and continue the conversation. But as
- 1:28:04Speaker 22: we wrap, upler peris to them because.
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: They had like this is my.
- 1:28:08Speaker 22: Podcast, no, because the conversation was getting so good just
- 1:28:10Speaker 22: off the rip. I mean, you got these Tyler Perry jeezy,
- 1:28:14Speaker 22: all these people in the room, they start talking.
- 1:28:16Speaker 15: Tyler Perry brought up a point.
- 1:28:18Speaker 22: He talked about a lot you talking about fire family members,
- 1:28:20Speaker 22: but he talked about budgets and how people criticize his
- 1:28:23Speaker 22: work not understanding.
- 1:28:23Speaker 15: Let's take a listen to that.
- 1:28:25Speaker 7: Have you ever felt like the underdogs? Are you sitting
- 1:28:28Speaker 7: even now.
- 1:28:31Speaker 31: Still fighting for My wife can get all of these
- 1:28:35Speaker 31: they can get ten times, twenty times. But I have
- 1:28:38Speaker 31: a friend of mine gotten twenty seven million dollars in
- 1:28:40Speaker 31: an episode of the right television what I'm barely getting
- 1:28:43Speaker 31: four what and they're complaining about giving me for so
- 1:28:46Speaker 31: the way they justified it simply, this is like, okay,
- 1:28:48Speaker 31: well your audience is to this and you're only going
- 1:28:50Speaker 31: to reach this, So this is what this is worth
- 1:28:52Speaker 31: to us. And That's been my whole struggle. But I've
- 1:28:54Speaker 31: never been a person that's sat around arguing about it
- 1:28:56Speaker 31: trying to figure it out. Okay, So so what I
- 1:28:58Speaker 31: would do is say, okay, you only want to give
- 1:29:01Speaker 31: me this for I have to hold on their ownership.
- 1:29:03Speaker 31: I got a lot of flat because people are just like, oh,
- 1:29:05Speaker 31: the quality of work, the quality of your work, And
- 1:29:07Speaker 31: it's always back too to make me go, it's just
- 1:29:09Speaker 31: such about because you don't undertand what you're saying the
- 1:29:11Speaker 31: quality of work based on the amount of money I
- 1:29:13Speaker 31: was able to get. It's phenomenal. But if I could
- 1:29:16Speaker 31: ever get what my counterparts get, I show you something.
- 1:29:20Speaker 15: That's the crazy thing. I ain't never complain about his quality.
- 1:29:23Speaker 28: The quality is is production is always like cameras and
- 1:29:26Speaker 28: all of that.
- 1:29:26Speaker 7: I don't I don't know, I ain't never hear. I
- 1:29:28Speaker 7: don't know.
- 1:29:29Speaker 28: I hear people complaining about how it all the time,
- 1:29:30Speaker 28: but the quality ain't never been in questions. What are
- 1:29:34Speaker 28: they complaining about, like writers, the writers, Yeah, writers, and
- 1:29:37Speaker 28: of course the stories starting. You know, the story is
- 1:29:40Speaker 28: how they how he makes black people look. That's always
- 1:29:42Speaker 28: been the talk. But I ain't never a nobody complain
- 1:29:45Speaker 28: about no quality. I mean in the plays when they
- 1:29:47Speaker 28: used to have my dead Mike land on the floor.
- 1:29:49Speaker 7: But it's a play.
- 1:29:51Speaker 5: I don't know what really was not real though, cause
- 1:29:53Speaker 5: i'd be feeling some people post until I actually watch
- 1:29:55Speaker 5: it myself. Because I saw something the other day and
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: they was like they had somebody yelling cut while the
- 1:29:59Speaker 5: show was on.
- 1:30:00Speaker 4: That's not real, Like this can't be real.
- 1:30:02Speaker 28: No, I think it was. But that's the thing that
- 1:30:06Speaker 28: stuff don't usually happen. That's like to be stuff that
- 1:30:09Speaker 28: that's funny because I see that one too. That's maybe
- 1:30:13Speaker 28: that was a mistake. But I read about his quality.
- 1:30:15Speaker 22: Not more recently, there was continuity conversations to about like.
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: Come back.
- 1:30:22Speaker 22: But I mean at this point, like Tyler Perry is
- 1:30:25Speaker 22: doing what he's doing at a major level, so I
- 1:30:26Speaker 22: understand what he's saying.
- 1:30:27Speaker 4: But I don't even hear people complain about the wigs
- 1:30:29Speaker 4: one more exactly at first.
- 1:30:33Speaker 15: That's not exactly because at first it was the wigs. Yes,
- 1:30:36Speaker 15: but he said Lauren.
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: Took the energy.
- 1:30:39Speaker 15: Yeah, I did not say that. I thought you say that.
- 1:30:44Speaker 7: Never happened.
- 1:30:45Speaker 15: Don't make me know that I did not know.
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: The choice mixes up and hearing things don't go anywhere
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: because she heard.
- 1:30:54Speaker 6: Behind the wig gets the breakast Legging Morning, the Breakfast Club.
