1:58
Speaker 1: another tractor trailer.
2:03
Speaker 3: They hit a meat truck.
2:04
Speaker 4: They stole steak yesterday. They're about to have surf and
2:07
Speaker 4: turf for the next three weeks in Philly.
2:08
Speaker 8: That must be the thing in Philly.
2:10
Speaker 2: I know that's right.
2:10
Speaker 6: And why didn't y'all answer your FaceTime? I FaceTimed all
2:13
Speaker 6: y'all together yesterday. I went to show y'all my costume.
2:15
Speaker 10: Y'all didn't answer.
2:16
Speaker 8: Because we knew that's what it was, y'all. We didn't
2:17
Speaker 8: want to see that.
2:18
Speaker 1: I barely answered regular FaceTime. I damn sure ain't answering
2:20

Speaker 4: Man, start the show.
2:28
Speaker 2: I don't know.
2:29
Speaker 3: This sounds stupid.
2:30
Speaker 1: This sounds like the beginning stages of a ditty party.
2:32
Speaker 1: You called us to tell us what you was dressed
2:33
Speaker 1: up as.
2:34
Speaker 4: Yo, which one?

3:40
Speaker 2: We can watch.
3:41
Speaker 3: What's up, Mimi?
3:42
Speaker 12: Good morning, everyone. How's everyone doing this morning?
3:44
Speaker 4: Hey, girl.
3:45
Speaker 12: Good morning. So Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
3:48
Speaker 12: America's largest injury law firm. So we started this morning
3:51
Speaker 12: with just four days to go to midterm elections and
3:55
Speaker 12: black voters.
3:56
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
3:56
Speaker 12: They are making their presence felt in the final push
3:59
Speaker 12: of elections. So more than 2.3 million people have already
4:02
Speaker 12: voted in person. Black voters are accounting for 30 percent
4:05
Speaker 12: of that turnout. And yesterday, former Vice President Kamala Harris,
4:08
Speaker 12: she was in Atlanta visiting students from Clark Atlanta, Morehouse
4:12
Speaker 12: and Spelman. About 800 students, they gathered to hear her speak,
4:15
Speaker 12: along with Senator John Ossoff, who's running for reelection. And
4:18
Speaker 12: she had a message for the hundreds of HBCU students
4:21
Speaker 12: gathered there. Let's listen.
4:23
Speaker 13: I've come here to remind you, don't ever let anybody
4:26
Speaker 13: take your power from you. Don't ever let anybody tell
4:30
Speaker 13: you who you are. You tell them who you are.
4:34
Speaker 13: You tell them you are active. You let them know
4:37
Speaker 13: you are paying attention. You let them know, not on
4:40
Speaker 13: my watch is this stuff going to happen without me
4:43
Speaker 13: stepping up and speaking.
4:45
Speaker 12: Out and acting. All right, she says the record turnout
4:50
Speaker 12: is coming as both parties are fighting for control of
4:52
Speaker 12: Congress with every seat in the House and dozens of
4:56
Speaker 12: Senate seats on the ballot. Remember, Tuesday, November 3rd, is
5:00
Speaker 12: Election Day. How many people have already voted?
5:02
Speaker 4: Damn!
5:03
Speaker 8: One person. One person.
5:06
Speaker 2: But it is.
5:08
Speaker 4: Okay.
5:09
Speaker 7: So no early voting.
5:10
Speaker 12: You're just waiting for the day.
5:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, just waiting for the day.
5:12
Speaker 8: I'm waiting for the day.
5:13
Speaker 1: But it is important to note that the early voting
5:15
Speaker 1: is surging in certain states.
5:17
Speaker 12: That's right.
5:18
Speaker 4: Especially in the South.
5:19
Speaker 12: And Georgia has record turnout so far. Absolutely.
5:22
Speaker 4: So we hope it reflects nationwide. Absolutely.
5:24
Speaker 7: Absolutely.
5:25
Speaker 12: And President Obama, he is not backing down from his
5:28
Speaker 12: Cheesecake Factory joke about President Trump and that White House,
5:32
Speaker 12: the makeover at the White House. So this all started
5:34
Speaker 12: when Obama joked. Did you guys hear about this joke
5:36
Speaker 12: at a campaign rally where he said that the White
5:39
Speaker 12: House in all its gold looked like Saddam Hussein opened
5:42
Speaker 12: a Cheesecake Factory?
5:43
Speaker 13: Yes.
5:43
Speaker 12: Did you guys hear that joke?
5:44
Speaker 5: No.
5:44
Speaker 12: Well, now he's calling the Trump administration out for spending
5:47
Speaker 12: more time responding to the joke than dealing with the
5:50
Speaker 12: rising prices.
5:51
Speaker 4: Let's listen.
5:52
Speaker 15: They did not dispute what I said about them being
5:56
Speaker 15: directly responsible for rising prices.
5:58
Speaker 4: They did not argue with that.
6:00
Speaker 15: I accused this administration based on the facts that they
6:05
Speaker 15: were engaging.
6:06
Speaker 16: In unprecedented levels of corruption. They didn't say anything about that.
6:11
Speaker 15: The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison.
6:16
Speaker 4: That part didn't bother him.
6:18
Speaker 15: But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments.
6:23
Speaker 2: I mean, it's all crazy, but this was the really
6:25
Speaker 2: crazy part.
6:25
Speaker 15: They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke.
6:30
Speaker 15: The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury.
6:34
Speaker 4: This is the man who is in charge of.
6:37
Speaker 15: The economy, the guy who's supposed to be figuring out
6:40
Speaker 15: how to lower inflation. They told him he should hold
6:44
Speaker 15: a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory.
6:48
Speaker 16: This really happened.
6:51
Speaker 1: What I like about what Obama is doing is he's
6:53
Speaker 1: using the joke to bring it back to the issue.
6:56
Speaker 1: He's using a joke to still bring it back to
6:58
Speaker 1: let people know, about the Trump administration's corruption, about how
7:01
Speaker 1: the prices are too high, about how they haven't lowered inflation.
7:04
Speaker 4: That's what I like about what he's doing.
7:05
Speaker 6: I agree with you, but the only thing I keep
7:07
Speaker 6: thinking about is when they were at somebody's funeral and
7:09
Speaker 6: they was chuckling and laughing and pointing at each other.
7:11
Speaker 6: It just bothers me when you go back and you
7:13
Speaker 6: see them going back at each other.
7:14
Speaker 2: Don't speak to me.
7:15
Speaker 16: We got problems.
7:16
Speaker 2: We got beef.
7:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get what you're saying, but it's not about
7:19
Speaker 1: what's their personal. He's bringing it back to what is
7:22
Speaker 1: actually impacting people.
7:23
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
7:24
Speaker 12: And he said that they're missing the bigger point, right?
7:26
Speaker 12: And he called the administration unserious. And that was at
7:29
Speaker 12: a campaign rally in Georgia where Obama was campaigning for
7:32
Speaker 12: Keisha Lance Bottoms, who's running for governor. And really quickly, Philly,
7:37
Speaker 12: I did a show of hands on who plans to vote.
7:40
Speaker 12: But election officials here, they have an important reminder. About
7:43
Speaker 12: 40,000 mail-in ballots in Philadelphia still haven't been returned. And
7:47
Speaker 12: election day is Tuesday. So if you've got your ballot
7:49
Speaker 12: sitting at home, officials say don't wait until the last
7:51
Speaker 12: minute because... Your ballot has to be received by 8 p.m.
7:55
Speaker 12: on Tuesday, November 3rd. That means dropping it off in
7:58
Speaker 12: the mail on Election Day isn't enough. Even if it's
8:01
Speaker 12: postmarked on Tuesday, it won't count if it arrives late.
8:04
Speaker 12: So election officials are encouraging people to use an official
8:07
Speaker 12: ballot drop-off return location instead.
8:09
Speaker 2: All right.
8:10
Speaker 12: Just good information. If you have a mail-in ballot at home,
8:13
Speaker 12: you need to get it in the mail or official
8:15
Speaker 12: drop box, ASAP.
8:16
Speaker 10: And that's brought to you by.
8:18
Speaker 12: That is brought to you by Morgan & Morgan. Injured,

Speaker 6: And you guys in the crowd, if there's somebody pissing
8:32
Speaker 6: you off, if you're upset about something. Maybe your coworker,
8:35
Speaker 6: maybe your mom, maybe your line assistant, maybe the person
8:37
Speaker 6: you do cheerleading with.
8:38
Speaker 10: It doesn't matter who it is. They'll give you the mic.
8:40
Speaker 16: Why are you encouraging them?
8:41
Speaker 4: I mean, God damn.
8:43
Speaker 17: The second is called get it off your chest. You
8:45
Speaker 17: can tell people why you're blessed or tell people why
8:47
Speaker 17: you're stressed. Why are you reinforcing the negative this morning?
8:50
Speaker 17: That's why I don't like when these white boys come
8:51
Speaker 17: up here with us, man. I'm not white.
8:54
Speaker 10: I am black.
8:54
Speaker 6: I'm 100% black. But you can get it off your chest.

Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get
9:02
Speaker 2: it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. I
9:05

Speaker 2: Okay.
12:43
Speaker 3: Hey.
12:44
Speaker 19: Hey, how y'all embarrassed for.
12:46
Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj, but not for.
12:49
Speaker 2: Meg Thee.
12:49
Speaker 19: Stallion when she was twerking for Kamala.
12:52
Speaker 4: Ain't that the same thing?
12:53
Speaker 10: You mean when she was performing on stage and doing
12:56
Speaker 10: her song?
12:56
Speaker 19: Yeah. Yeah, twerking.
12:58
Speaker 4: It's two totally different things.
12:59
Speaker 2: Totally different things.
12:59
Speaker 1: Because Meg Thee Stallion was performing. She wasn't being objectified
13:02
Speaker 1: by her body. A guy wasn't telling her to stand
13:04
Speaker 1: up and show her ass, especially an old rich white man.
13:06
Speaker 2: Oh.
13:08
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
13:09
Speaker 18: All right.
13:09
Speaker 3: All right.
13:10
Speaker 19: But, um.
13:11
Speaker 4: Do y'all let any of your daughters listen.
13:14
Speaker 19: To Cardi B?
13:15
Speaker 14: Why y'all keep putting her on the pedestal like she
13:18
Speaker 14: should be somebody we should admire in our culture?
13:21
Speaker 1: I love her music, but I don't think I want
13:23
Speaker 1: to be modeled after her.
13:25
Speaker 4: What's wrong with Cardi B? Why can't you enjoy Cardi
13:27
Speaker 4: B's music? I'm saying, would you let your kids model her?
13:30
Speaker 2: Your daughter.
13:31
Speaker 4: You didn't say that. You said, do we let our
13:33
Speaker 4: kids listen to her music? Her music is my thing.
13:36
Speaker 4: Would I be proud of your daughter if she resembled
13:38
Speaker 4: Cardi B?
13:39
Speaker 1: If she was an independent entrepreneur.
13:42
Speaker 2: Businesswoman.
13:43
Speaker 1: Who came up and had the success of Cardi B,
13:45
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have a problem with that.
13:46
Speaker 2: Give a lot of people jobs.
13:47
Speaker 3: Oh, man.
13:48
Speaker 10: Give back to her community.
13:49
Speaker 4: I should have been a lawyer, man.
13:50
Speaker 5: Yeah.
13:51
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir. Anything else?
13:52
Speaker 1: I would also say that, you know, when you talk
13:55
Speaker 1: about morals, I.
13:55
Speaker 25: Think that Cardi has more moral consistency than President Trump.
14:00
Speaker 4: Damn right.
14:00
Speaker 26: Absolutely.
14:15
Speaker 8: And she be out there fighting too, man. She got morals.
14:18
Speaker 8: She stand on things.
14:19
Speaker 3: Exactly.
14:19
Speaker 8: And she stick up for what's right.
14:21
Speaker 2: Anybody out there got to get it off their chest
14:23

20:14
Speaker 8: So Mary J.
20:14
Speaker 20: Blige, she had to get with a heckler at one
20:16
Speaker 20: of her Las Vegas shows. Y'all know that she is
20:18
Speaker 20: doing the Las Vegas residency, My Life, My Story, right
20:22
Speaker 20: now at Dolby Life Park MGM over in Vegas. And
20:25
Speaker 20: there was somebody in the crowd who started booing.
20:28
Speaker 3: Booing?
20:28
Speaker 4: Yes.
20:29
Speaker 3: The queen?
20:30
Speaker 7: Like, insane.
20:31
Speaker 20: Let's take a listen because Mary J. Blige shut it
20:33
Speaker 20: down on her own. Like, we didn't even have to
20:34
Speaker 20: do nothing. Let's take a listen, Mary.
20:36
Speaker 5: To the bitch that's booing, you didn't have to come here.
20:40
Speaker 5: So I hope someone sees you and politely remove you.
20:43
Speaker 5: But you spend your money for it, idiot.
20:46
Speaker 31: I'm sorry. Sometimes I just gotta go in.
20:51
Speaker 5: Because that's great with you.
20:55
Speaker 4: That was fantastic execution of the word bitch, too.
20:57
Speaker 3: Like, it came from her soul.
20:59
Speaker 4: It came from her gut to the bitch.
21:01
Speaker 20: I don't know whoever goes to see Mary J. Blige
21:03
Speaker 20: and ever, ever, ever, ever will want to boo.
21:05
Speaker 5: Nothing about her energy gives boo.
21:07
Speaker 7: Nothing about that performance. She be singing down. You be
21:09
Speaker 7: in tears with her about it.
21:10
Speaker 4: But what Mary said is true.
21:12
Speaker 1: You a different type of stupid to pay money to
21:14
Speaker 1: go to a concert just to hate on someone.
21:17
Speaker 4: You could have stayed your ass home. Hate on social
21:19
Speaker 4: media like everybody else.
21:20
Speaker 17: Right.
21:21
Speaker 8: They just probably wanted some attention. That's just what it was.
21:23
Speaker 20: Yeah, but this got, I mean, it made me literally
21:25
Speaker 20: think about the conversation we had yesterday with Charlamagne. You
21:27
Speaker 20: were like, people are really trying to convince us that
21:29
Speaker 20: our legends and our greats ain't who they are.
21:31
Speaker 4: That's right.
21:31
Speaker 7: Because of how they're treating them. Insane to me.
21:34
Speaker 10: I would never.
21:35
Speaker 1: You won't stop playing with our legends, man. Celebrate greatness, okay?
21:38
Speaker 1: We only got one Mary J.
21:39
Speaker 3: Blige.
21:39
Speaker 21: Yeah.
21:40
Speaker 3: Did they know who it was?
21:40
Speaker 2: Did she get kicked out? Did they remove her?
21:42
Speaker 20: There's no additional details as of right now, but Mary J.
21:45
Speaker 20: Blige did finish the show, of course. She brought out Wyclef.
21:48
Speaker 20: They did 9-1-1. So today, actually, is her last performance
21:53
Speaker 20: of 2026, and then she's back in February with a
21:56
Speaker 20: couple dates, February 12th, 13th, 17th, 19th, and 20th to
22:00
Speaker 20: finish out the residency in 2020.
22:01
Speaker 4: And don't play with Mary. Y'all keep booing her. She
22:03
Speaker 4: will not come back and finish.
22:04
Speaker 8: She won't stay home for the rest of the year.
22:06
Speaker 20: She's not one to be played with at all.
22:08
Speaker 10: Not at all.
22:09
Speaker 20: Now, moving on, speaking of stages, Dane Dash, he was
22:13
Speaker 20: sitting with the Art of Dialogue having a conversation about
22:15
Speaker 20: Jay-Z and the Super Bowl. And he's talking about not
22:20
Speaker 20: wanting to be called by Jay-Z.
22:22
Speaker 10: For the Super Bowl.
22:22
Speaker 7: Let's take a listen.
22:24
Speaker 29: Someone's lining them up because if you do a show
22:27
Speaker 29: like the Superbowl.
22:28
Speaker 2: And it's terrible, it ruins your whole career.
22:30
Speaker 29: And it's like, we all know he's going to bring
22:32
Speaker 29: out Beyonce, but like, you can't bring, I'm not going.
22:35
Speaker 4: Don't even call me for the Superbowl. I'm not going.
22:38
Speaker 29: I don't have any desire for that. And when like Dr.
22:41
Speaker 29: Dre and them came out, they brought out the whole team.
22:43
Speaker 29: So I'm just coming out there without the team and
22:46
Speaker 29: it could not be so good. And how many times
22:48
Speaker 29: can you bring Beyonce out? Like how many guests that
22:50
Speaker 29: have nothing to do with your lineage? like how can
22:53
Speaker 29: it resonate either way he's gonna they're gonna be on
22:56
Speaker 29: his head pause so that could ruin you like every
22:58
Speaker 29: single show i thought i was like why they keep
23:00
Speaker 29: doing this to him i haven't seen it be positive
23:03
Speaker 29: for him that one time to the extent that it's
23:05
Speaker 29: not even fun saying anything about it it's like sad
23:09
Speaker 29: i'm not.
23:09
Speaker 11: I'm definitely not coming now i'm not watching now they're
23:12
Speaker 11: not gonna have dame.
23:15
Speaker 6: It's disgusting to just watch what he created and watch
23:19
Speaker 6: his legacy just go down the toilet bowl i mean
23:21
Speaker 6: Let's be honest. Jay is not thinking about calling Dame.
23:24
Speaker 6: That was never even a mention there. It just sounds
23:29
Speaker 6: so haterific.
23:30
Speaker 3: Haterific?
23:31
Speaker 10: Haterific? You just see the hate.
23:33
Speaker 6: In his blood, in his eyes, in his whole soul,
23:36
Speaker 6: as much as he hates him.
23:38
Speaker 10: And I'm not mad. I don't care how many times
23:40
Speaker 10: he brings out Beyonce. I'm not mad at him.
23:41
Speaker 7: It's Beyonce.
23:43
Speaker 20: But to me, the thing that was so funny about
23:45
Speaker 20: it was like, it's like he got to clear this
23:48
Speaker 20: schedule and do all these things.
23:49
Speaker 7: It's not happening anyway.
23:51
Speaker 1: I don't know if I do want to see Beyonce
23:53
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl, though, because I want Jay-Z to
23:54
Speaker 1: keep it super hip-hop.
23:56
Speaker 4: I want him to hip-hop it the hell out at
23:58
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. I want to hear him stick.
24:00
Speaker 3: To the script.
24:03
Speaker 4: And bring out Bleaky.
24:04
Speaker 7: Okay, I was about to ask you about you. Who
24:05
Speaker 7: are the names you want to see?
24:06
Speaker 20: Because that's the real conversation that people are having.
24:08
Speaker 1: I don't even care about the names. I just want
24:10
Speaker 1: him to do a straight hip-hop show. Scare the white
24:12
Speaker 1: people at the Super Bowl.
24:13
Speaker 4: I want to hear.
24:14
Speaker 7: Can I Live.
24:15
Speaker 4: I want to hear You Don't Know. I want to
24:17
Speaker 4: hear Story of O.J.
24:18
Speaker 10: I want to see Half and Half.
24:19
Speaker 2: I want to see that too, but I also want
24:20
Speaker 2: to see Run This Town. I want to see Reread.
24:22
Speaker 4: I don't need that.
24:23
Speaker 6: I want to see Empire State. I want to see
24:25
Speaker 6: him bring out A-Keys. I want to see him bring
24:27
Speaker 6: out Beyonce. I want to see him do a little
24:29
Speaker 6: bit of this.
24:30
Speaker 4: Too much.
24:30
Speaker 8: I don't want to see no commercial hits.
24:32
Speaker 4: I want to see both.
24:33
Speaker 11: If Beyonce did the Super Bowl twice, I want them
24:35
Speaker 11: to bring out Kanye. I know it's not going to happen,
24:36
Speaker 11: but that would be what I would do. I know
24:38
Speaker 11: it's not going to happen.
24:38
Speaker 5: But y'all said.
24:39
Speaker 8: Y'all want to make the white people mad. Bring Kanye
24:41
Speaker 8: out there.
24:42
Speaker 20: So, okay, people are debating the guests, but, you know,
24:44
Speaker 20: everybody hits the Super Bowl stage and they have, like,
24:46
Speaker 20: a message or something that they're saying to the people.
24:48
Speaker 20: What are your predictions on what his platform, what he's
24:50
Speaker 20: going to use the platform to come up with?
24:51
Speaker 1: Well, it's probably just going to be a celebration of
24:53
Speaker 1: his career. People keep forgetting that we are in the
24:55
Speaker 1: midst of him celebrating 30 years in the business. His
24:59
Speaker 1: first album, Reasonable Doubt, came out in June or July
25:02
Speaker 1: of 1996.
25:03
Speaker 4: So it's been 30 years.
25:04
Speaker 1: So it's probably just going to be a celebration of
25:07
Speaker 1: the most dominant career hip-hop has ever seen.
25:10
Speaker 7: He doesn't get political or anything like that at all,
25:11
Speaker 7: you think?
25:12
Speaker 4: I mean, I would love to see him do Story
25:14
Speaker 4: of OJ.
25:14
Speaker 10: That would be dope.
25:15
Speaker 4: That would be fantastic.
25:16
Speaker 3: Yes.
25:16
Speaker 8: That's going to scare the white people too.
25:18
Speaker 4: That was definitely going to scare the white people.
25:20
Speaker 6: But I am super excited to see Ho perform at
25:23
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. And I want to see it at home, right?
25:25
Speaker 6: Because I want to see every aspect of it, right?
25:28
Speaker 6: Being at the Super Bowl and watching the Super Bowl performance,
25:29
Speaker 6: you don't get to see everything. But I want to
25:31
Speaker 6: see it at home so I can see every aspect
25:33
Speaker 6: of it.
25:34
Speaker 8: Ain't nobody inviting you.
25:35
Speaker 4: That's why you ain't going to be here. I'm going
25:36
Speaker 4: to see you. I'm going to watch it at home.
25:38
Speaker 4: Don't call me, Jay. Don't call me. I want to
25:41
Speaker 4: see you. I want to watch it at home.
25:42
Speaker 2: Jay, don't call me.
25:43
Speaker 4: Jay, don't call me.
25:44
Speaker 7: Just, you know, Rock Boy Sharla. I had never got
25:46
Speaker 7: my invite yet.
25:47
Speaker 2: Rock Boy Sharla is crazy.
25:48
Speaker 7: Just in case, you know, you was wondering if my
25:50
Speaker 7: schedule was clear.
25:52
Speaker 4: You and Dame will, you, Dame, and Envy will be
25:53
Speaker 4: watching this probably at the same time.
25:55
Speaker 23: Together.
25:55
Speaker 7: All right, y'all. That was the latest with Lauren LaRose.
25:57
Speaker 20: You guys get the latest from me, but you can
25:59
Speaker 20: also get the latest on your case from Top Dog Law.
26:02
Speaker 20: See how much your case may be worth. Unleash Top
26:04
Speaker 20: Dog and fight for the money you deserve.
26:05
Speaker 4: Ain't lucky from Philly.
26:07
Speaker 8: What you going to do if a dog bites you?
26:09
Speaker 2: I thought he was. What you going to do if
26:10
Speaker 2: a dog bites you?
26:11
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're lucky for Philly.
26:12
Speaker 7: This was the first place I've ever heard him at, right?
26:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lucky's Hotel.
26:15
Speaker 2: Lucky's Hotel, yeah.
26:16
Speaker 8: They got the best one, Joe.
26:18
Speaker 20: I think I learned about syndication through Lucky. Because I
26:20
Speaker 20: went to another place and I heard him. I'm like,
26:22
Speaker 20: how am I hearing him here?
26:23
Speaker 2: But I didn't understand him.
26:24
Speaker 5: At that time.
26:25
Speaker 2: Salute to Lucky.
26:25
Speaker 10: Lucky lives in Atlanta or Charlotte right now, right?
26:27
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
26:28
Speaker 10: Or Miami or something.
26:28
Speaker 2: I said, Lucky got an amazing crib.
26:30
Speaker 10: He drives an amazing car. Lucky's doing all right.
26:31
Speaker 4: Salute to Lucky. Salute to Lucky.
26:33
Speaker 16: All the top dog law ads.
26:34
Speaker 7: You're damn right. All the ads in general.
26:36
Speaker 4: But yes, that's the.
26:37
Speaker 7: Latest, guys.
26:38
Speaker 2: When we come back, we got front page news with Mimi.
26:40
Speaker 10: So don't go anywhere.
26:41
Speaker 2: It's The Breakfast Club.
26:42
Speaker 3: Good morning.
26:42
Speaker 6: Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy,
26:46
Speaker 6: we are The Breakfast Club.
26:47
Speaker 2: Let's get in some front page news. Start off with
26:51
Speaker 2: some sports now.
26:51
Speaker 4: On Thursday night, football.
26:53
Speaker 2: The Packers beat, who did they play last night, Red?
26:56
Speaker 3: They played the Panthers last night.
26:58
Speaker 6: Beat the Panthers, 27-19. Also, in WNBA, the Dream won
27:02
Speaker 6: last night. Now I'm going to the scores right now.
27:04
Speaker 6: Let me get to the scores, get to the scores,
27:05
Speaker 6: get to the scores.
27:06
Speaker 8: They won, baby.
27:07
Speaker 2: They won last night, 80-69.
27:08
Speaker 6: They tied the series 3-3.
27:10
Speaker 10: The next game is on Saturday. What's up, Mimi?
27:13
Speaker 12: Good morning, everyone. How's everyone doing this hour?
27:15
Speaker 3: Hey, girl.
27:16
Speaker 12: Good morning. So we're going to start right here in
27:19
Speaker 12: Philadelphia where thieves have stolen. $ 55, 000 worth of food delivery
27:25
Speaker 12: trucks in just one month.
27:26
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to call them thieves
27:27
Speaker 4: just yet. What are you going to call them? Because
27:30
Speaker 4: I don't know their situation.
27:31
Speaker 8: Exactly. And they're selling the food in the hood.
27:35
Speaker 7: You don't know that part yet.
27:37
Speaker 4: Or they might just be hungry and can't afford to eat.
27:40
Speaker 4: So I don't want to call them thieves just yet.
27:41
Speaker 2: They're still thieves.
27:43
Speaker 8: But they're bringing relief to the hood.
27:44
Speaker 12: It seems like a sophisticated operation.
27:46
Speaker 4: Guarantee that.
27:47
Speaker 12: So police are now investigating another theft that happened early
27:50
Speaker 12: yesterday morning. This time, they made off a $ 10, 000 worth
27:54
Speaker 12: of V from a tractor trailer in northeast Philly. The
27:57
Speaker 12: whole thing was captured on surveillance video. More than a
28:00
Speaker 12: half dozen cars pulled up to help load the heist.
28:04
Speaker 12: The whole thing lasted 25 minutes. The driver says he
28:07
Speaker 12: woke up to his truck moving.
28:09
Speaker 8: Let's listen.
28:10
Speaker 29: I decided to take a few hours nap so I
28:13
Speaker 29: could make my delivery at 6.
28:14
Speaker 2: My alarm went off at 4.
28:17
Speaker 10: I got up.
28:18
Speaker 29: Right, as soon as I got up, I noticed the
28:20
Speaker 29: truck was moving, so I wasn't sure what was going on.
28:23
Speaker 10: How would they know what's in these trucks, though?
28:24
Speaker 8: It's always when they sleep, yo.
28:25
Speaker 7: How would they know what?
28:26
Speaker 2: How do they know what's in these trucks, right? Because
28:28
Speaker 2: these trucks are just regular trucks, right?
28:29
Speaker 7: Well, that's the thing.
28:31
Speaker 12: They're saying that, you know, they've been following these trucks
28:33
Speaker 12: and they know when they pull over to take a
28:35
Speaker 12: nap or whatever. They're all in the same sort of area.
28:38
Speaker 12: So they said, police say this is becoming a real
28:40
Speaker 12: problem because just Tuesday, they stole $ 3, 000 worth of crab legs.
28:46
Speaker 7: $ 3, 000 pounds.
28:47
Speaker 12: $ 3, 000 pounds, yes, worth of crab legs from another truck.
28:49
Speaker 7: Out here on the streets right now, come and get me, y'all.
28:51
Speaker 8: Y'all got a sale.
28:52
Speaker 4: They got good surf and turf now. All that beef
28:56
Speaker 4: in the meat, that seafood.
28:57
Speaker 26: Yep.
28:58
Speaker 12: And earlier this month, they said that someone made off
29:00
Speaker 12: with like $ 4, 000 worth of beef. So there's been four
29:04
Speaker 12: heists so far. Investigators believe that the same group is
29:07
Speaker 12: responsible for Police say that they don't think there's a
29:10
Speaker 12: still in the meat just to be doing it. They
29:12
Speaker 12: say that they think they're selling it. Let's listen.
29:15
Speaker 30: Yes.
29:15
Speaker 24: I'm sure it's not for personal consumption with the sheer volume.
29:19
Speaker 4: That's right. I mean, it's an enormous amount of meat.
29:23
Speaker 1: You're going to start seeing a lot more of this, man.
29:27
Speaker 1: Times is hard and the holidays are coming. People and
29:30
Speaker 1: their kids got to eat. Not making any excuses for them,
29:33
Speaker 1: but I don't think these folks stealing this meat just because.
29:36
Speaker 3: Okay?
29:37
Speaker 1: This is what happens when you don't take care of
29:39
Speaker 1: the poor and disenfranchised, and they know that people have needs.
29:41
Speaker 2: So not only are they.
29:42
Speaker 1: Probably getting something for themselves, they taking it to the
29:44
Speaker 1: hood and selling it for the low as well.
29:45
Speaker 2: Exactly.
29:46
Speaker 11: Y'all remember the meat trucks that used to come around
29:48
Speaker 11: or whatever?
29:48
Speaker 16: Yeah, I remember that.
29:49
Speaker 8: They don't have it anymore, so now we got the
29:51
Speaker 8: meat men.
29:51
Speaker 7: We got the meat men. And that's not it.
29:53
Speaker 8: They're selling meat because we the people need the meat.
29:55
Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
29:57
Speaker 19: Pause.
29:57
Speaker 2: Just give us the meat, man.
29:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
30:01
Speaker 12: Well, they're telling truckers to use a hard and steel
30:04
Speaker 12: lock to at least try and slow down the thieves.
30:06
Speaker 12: You may not be able to stop them, but if
30:08
Speaker 12: you have a different type of lock, you could probably
30:09
Speaker 12: slow it down.
30:09
Speaker 4: Hey, man, don't jump in front of these. That meat
30:12
Speaker 4: ain't dying for you.
30:13
Speaker 1: To all the truck drivers out there, that meat and
30:15
Speaker 1: them crab legs ain't dying for you.
30:17
Speaker 4: Okay? So stay out them people away.
30:18
Speaker 12: Yes, and you just said, speaking of the holidays, so
30:21
Speaker 12: if you are hosting Thanksgiving this year and already worried
30:24
Speaker 12: about how much all of the food is going to cost,
30:26
Speaker 12: Walmart has a deal that could save you money. So
30:29
Speaker 12: the retailer says that.
30:30
Speaker 4: Streets of Philly.
30:31
Speaker 8: Got way better deals right now.
30:32
Speaker 1: Way better deals than the streets of Philly.
30:34
Speaker 12: With all these crab legs and meat on the street.
30:38
Speaker 12: Walmart says you can feed 10 people for $ 35. 10
30:40
Speaker 12: people for $ 35? They said that that's $ 3. 50 a person.
30:45
Speaker 10: There's no way.
30:46
Speaker 7: They said that that.
30:46
Speaker 12: Includes 26 grocery items. The turkey, the stuffing, mashed potatoes,
30:51
Speaker 12: green beans. And this is what they said, because I
30:53
Speaker 12: looked into it too, Envy. They said you don't have
30:55
Speaker 12: to figure it out for yourself. You can just go
30:57
Speaker 12: to their website. You can find the entire grocery list
31:00
Speaker 12: and add it to your cart with just one click.
31:02
Speaker 2: $ 35, 10 people?
31:03
Speaker 12: That's what it says.
31:04
Speaker 10: There's no way.
31:05
Speaker 1: How do we know Walmart not putting people on the
31:07
Speaker 1: streets to rob these tractor trailers?
31:08
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know.
31:09
Speaker 1: And being that they're getting all of this free food,
31:11
Speaker 1: they're selling it for cheap.
31:13
Speaker 7: That's a possibility, Char.
31:15
Speaker 11: I was going to say, how do we know if
31:16
Speaker 11: it's real? Is it all processed? It don't even sound healthy.
31:20
Speaker 7: Well, that's what they say.
31:21
Speaker 12: And the deal is available through December 24th, so technically
31:24
Speaker 12: it could be Christmas dinner too. So they say $ 35
31:27
Speaker 12: is an estimate. Your total could change depending on what
31:30
Speaker 12: you add to your cart.
31:31
Speaker 3: But.
31:32
Speaker 12: For families trying to stretch every dollar, they said this
31:34
Speaker 12: is a very good option.
31:35
Speaker 4: And it don't tell you how much you eating for $ 35.
31:37
Speaker 12: Yeah, they don't tell you the portion sizes.
31:40
Speaker 10: But isn't a turkey alone like $ 20 something?
31:42
Speaker 5: Hell yeah.
31:45
Speaker 4: Y'all got to stop.
31:45
Speaker 8: Acting like turkey tastes good.
31:46
Speaker 11: Unless it's a preemie turkey, you know, like the little ones.
31:50
Speaker 4: Y'all got to stop acting like turkey tastes good.
31:52
Speaker 1: The only time turkey tastes good is when it's some
31:54
Speaker 1: turkey wings smothered in some gravy.
31:56
Speaker 4: Oh, my God, yes. A regular big turkey, I don't
31:59
Speaker 4: even want that for Thanksgiving. I don't even like that.
32:00
Speaker 12: Yeah, it does not taste good. But a fried turkey
32:03
Speaker 12: is always good.
32:04
Speaker 4: It's all right.
32:04
Speaker 10: I don't do that.
32:05
Speaker 4: I don't do turkey. I don't do turkey. Fried turkey
32:08
Speaker 4: is all right.
32:09
Speaker 12: And finally, let's end on this. So today is a
32:12
Speaker 12: national holiday. I'm not sure who came up with this one,
32:16
Speaker 12: but every year on October 30th, the Internet, it celebrates
32:19
Speaker 12: National Text Your Ex Day.
32:22
Speaker 5: Yes.
32:23
Speaker 7: Respectfully.
32:24
Speaker 10: You better not.
32:25
Speaker 12: Listen, it started on social media. It falls the day
32:28
Speaker 12: before Halloween, which is fitting because, you know, you. You'd
32:32
Speaker 12: bring in ghosts from the past.
32:33
Speaker 8: What hole made this up, though?
32:35
Speaker 31: I don't know.
32:36
Speaker 12: It started in, like, 2012-ish. And it's, like, every year.
32:39
Speaker 4: What's the point, though, of texting your ex?
32:41
Speaker 12: Well, that's a good question. Some people say it's, you know,
32:44
Speaker 12: it's used for an old flame. You can apologize for
32:47
Speaker 12: something that happened or maybe you want to get back together.
32:49
Speaker 12: But relationship experts, they do warn against it. They say
32:53
Speaker 12: reaching out to an ex can bring back old feelings,
32:55
Speaker 12: reopen wounds, and create drama that you left behind.
32:58
Speaker 4: But it didn't say what to text your ex, though.
33:00
Speaker 3: No, it did not.
33:00
Speaker 1: Because you could be texting your ex to curse his
33:02
Speaker 1: ass out because he gave you that herpes 10 years ago.
33:05
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
33:05
Speaker 1: And you just had another outbreak, and it reminded.
33:07
Speaker 4: You of that.
33:08
Speaker 3: All right.
33:08
Speaker 16: Okay.
33:09
Speaker 3: Thank you.
33:09
Speaker 4: It could just be happy ex.
33:11
Speaker 7: Day, happy national ex day, or whatever.
33:13
Speaker 12: Right. I thought it would be happy ex day. But
33:15
Speaker 12: they do warn against it. You guys, it's daylight savings

Speaker 4: He didn't cancel that?
33:23
Speaker 14: He didn't cancel.
33:24
Speaker 12: He wants to cancel it, but it's not canceled.
33:26
Speaker 3: All right.

Speaker 3: Million dollars worth of games. Yes, indeed.
34:19
Speaker 2: Thank y'all for joining us, by the way.
34:20
Speaker 3: Thank you for having us, man.
34:22
Speaker 2: Y'all never had no breakfast at the breakfast club.
34:24
Speaker 4: We got breakfast today.
34:25
Speaker 2: We got breakfast.
34:26
Speaker 3: That's cat, though.
34:27
Speaker 10: That's cat.
34:27
Speaker 3: That's cat. They got turkey sandwiches, man. I don't eat turkey.
34:30
Speaker 2: They got breakfast. They got everything back there.
34:33
Speaker 4: They have breakfast upstairs over there.
34:35
Speaker 2: I knew.
34:36
Speaker 3: I said, they at least go have some cop specials.
34:39
Speaker 2: Now we got some stuff over there.
34:40
Speaker 3: Y'all ain't no donuts.
34:42
Speaker 10: Nothing.
34:43
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of everything back there.
34:44
Speaker 3: You ain't no what back there?
34:45
Speaker 2: Did you see these young ladies there eating food right there?
34:48
Speaker 2: We got a little breakfast. First of all, we got
34:49
Speaker 2: to establish this. Shout out to Lincoln University. Yes. You know,
34:53
Speaker 2: I sent my daughter there. Cash Money Records. Lincoln, she graduated.
34:57
Speaker 3: Okay.
34:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Lincoln. Shout out to Lincoln.
34:59
Speaker 3: Shout out to Lincoln.
35:00
Speaker 8: Congratulations.
35:01
Speaker 6: Now, Gilly, y'all have one thing to do this week.
35:04
Speaker 10: One thing to do.
35:04
Speaker 6: You got this Cowboy fan over here. Had me upset
35:07
Speaker 6: the whole week, man.
35:09
Speaker 4: It don't even matter. Debating about the NFC East is pointless.
35:13
Speaker 3: Right now, it really is.
35:14
Speaker 4: It's pointless.
35:14
Speaker 10: We first placed in the division, by the way.
35:16
Speaker 2: What's your team?
35:17
Speaker 3: Giants.
35:18
Speaker 4: That's like saying you're the tallest midget.
35:20
Speaker 3: Right.
35:21
Speaker 10: Well, you're a guy.
35:21
Speaker 4: You're a guy. Midget is not politically correct.
35:24
Speaker 3: Go ahead and say it.
35:27
Speaker 4: I wanted to say it. He definitely wanted you to
35:29
Speaker 4: bring it. He was like, I hope Gilly brings little midgets.
35:32
Speaker 3: Eddie didn't request you. Damn.
35:35
Speaker 2: Damn.
35:36
Speaker 3: Damn.
35:37
Speaker 4: I want to ask.
35:37
Speaker 1: Y'all, when y'all look at Philly today, man, what makes
35:40
Speaker 1: you proud, man? Because being both of y'all from Philadelphia,
35:43
Speaker 1: what makes you proud about the city?
35:44
Speaker 2: Philly is a beautiful place, right? It's a hardworking place,
35:47
Speaker 2: extraordinary people, passionate people. The possibilities are endless in Philly.
35:52
Speaker 2: If you really believe in what you want to do,
35:55
Speaker 2: you can make it happen. But it's just a real
35:58
Speaker 2: passionate place. You get it right, they're going to support you.
36:01
Speaker 2: You get it wrong, you're in trouble. You know what
36:04
Speaker 2: I mean? But it's just a beautiful place. You got
36:07
Speaker 2: to understand, this is the birthplace of America. You know
36:08
Speaker 2: what I'm saying? So anything's possible. I mean, I just
36:13
Speaker 2: look at it like, if you ain't an excuse maker,
36:16
Speaker 2: you can make it happen here. And if you can
36:17
Speaker 2: make it happen in Philly, you can make it happen anywhere.
36:20
Speaker 4: That's what New Yorkers say, too.
36:21
Speaker 2: You can make it happen anywhere. That's the truth. This
36:23
Speaker 2: is the hardest part. This is going to be the
36:25
Speaker 2: hardest day. But if you can make it happen here,
36:27
Speaker 2: you get on.
36:27
Speaker 3: But it's a little easier in New York because it's
36:29
Speaker 3: more opportunity. Way easier.
36:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of industries in there. Especially if you're
36:33
Speaker 4: in entertainment or something.
36:34
Speaker 3: Right. It's more opportunity, but.
36:36
Speaker 24: I'm most proud that you got a lot of artists
36:38
Speaker 24: and people from Philadelphia that are sticking together.
36:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:41
Speaker 24: You know, it really wasn't like that back in the day.
36:44
Speaker 24: But now the youngins is understanding that it's not about
36:48
Speaker 24: the ego. It's just about trying to feed your family
36:51
Speaker 24: and get some money. So that's what I'm most proud about.
36:53
Speaker 10: I was going to ask, why do you think that is?
36:54
Speaker 6: Because like you said, back in the day, there was
36:57
Speaker 6: no like y'all were on one side. Rock was on
37:00
Speaker 6: one side. This one was on that side. But I
37:02
Speaker 6: love the fact that you're seeing artists working with each other.
37:04
Speaker 6: pulling each other out during shows and concerts. I love
37:06
Speaker 6: seeing that more and more and more.
37:08
Speaker 24: It was more competitive back in the day. You know
37:11
Speaker 24: what I mean? These kids didn't really compete. They just
37:14
Speaker 24: want to have fun and get some money and make
37:16
Speaker 24: some music. Jay-Z wanted to be better than DMX. Feel
37:20
Speaker 24: what I'm saying? DMX wanted to be better than Ja Rule.
37:24
Speaker 24: Ja Rule wanted to be better. So it was always
37:27
Speaker 24: a competition, even with the, Irv Gotti wanted to be
37:31
Speaker 24: better than Mike Lighty and Chris Lighty. Puff wanted to
37:36
Speaker 24: be better than Irv Gotti. So it was a competitive thing.
37:40
Speaker 24: Whereas now, it's not really about that. It's just about
37:44
Speaker 24: kids having fun. Even back then, it was more of
37:47
Speaker 24: a lyrical thing. Who spit the best?
37:50
Speaker 3: It's not on there anymore.
37:51
Speaker 2: But is that good or is that bad?
37:52
Speaker 24: I mean, I'm a person that transformed with time. I'm
37:55
Speaker 24: not living my life as a throwback Thursday.
37:57
Speaker 3: I'm not one of them old heads. They don't rap
37:59
Speaker 3: like us.
38:00
Speaker 24: I'm sure I'm mad. No, we don't rap like the
38:02
Speaker 24: people before us either. We wasn't saying hip to.
38:04
Speaker 3: Hop to hippie to hip. Don't stop us.
38:08
Speaker 8: But you don't ever miss the nostalgia of.
38:11
Speaker 3: What it was?
38:11
Speaker 8: You don't ever be like, damn, I miss that era
38:14
Speaker 8: of rap?
38:14
Speaker 3: No, I'm listening to Kodak Black, Little Dirk.
38:18
Speaker 4: By the way, we say missing it, but we still
38:20
Speaker 4: got it. You know what I'm saying? Whenever you want
38:22
Speaker 4: to listen to it, you can just turn it on.
38:23
Speaker 3: Okay, let me just say this.
38:25
Speaker 24: Why would I ride around and listen to songs that
38:28
Speaker 24: I knew the lyrics to 30 years ago?
38:30
Speaker 4: Because they're amazing right now.
38:31
Speaker 24: I want to know something else. I want to learn
38:33
Speaker 24: something different. That's an old head that's stuck in a
38:36
Speaker 24: time that don't exist no more. Every single time you
38:39
Speaker 24: get in the car.
38:39
Speaker 4: That was just good music. All right.
38:42
Speaker 8: Top three songs right now that you like.
38:44
Speaker 4: New songs.
38:45
Speaker 2: He don't even know.
38:45
Speaker 8: That you get in the car and you throw on.
38:47
Speaker 2: He don't even know. He want to hustle arguments.
38:49
Speaker 3: What do you mean? Never Change, Big X to Plug.
38:54
Speaker 8: Okay.
38:55
Speaker 3: Fire.
38:56
Speaker 6: Thank you.
38:58
Speaker 4: But Gilly, you danced to Blow the Whistle.
39:00
Speaker 1: That's not a new record.
39:04
Speaker 5: That's right.
39:06
Speaker 3: It was a new record to the Yankees.
39:09
Speaker 16: No, it was number two. It was number two.
39:10
Speaker 4: I play Fetty Wap.
39:16
Speaker 2: You don't even know this song. That's old.
39:19
Speaker 16: That's 15 years old.
39:20
Speaker 2: That's not even new.
39:21
Speaker 8: That's 15 years ago.
39:22
Speaker 4: Hold on, wait, hold on.
39:24
Speaker 3: No, it ain't 15. It's 15. I also play his
39:26
Speaker 3: new album, Real Love.
39:29
Speaker 2: Oh, Fetty?
39:30
Speaker 4: Yes. Okay, all right.
39:31
Speaker 2: I like that. All right, what's the third one?
39:33
Speaker 3: Hold on, man. I got to go to my playlist, man.
39:35
Speaker 3: I got to, hold on. I play, I got DaBaby
39:40
Speaker 3: in there. I got Meek and Herbo in there. New song.
39:43
Speaker 8: Okay.
39:44
Speaker 3: I got- Friday. Friday. Friday in there. I like the
39:49
Speaker 3: kids who read. I got Emory W. I got Core
39:52
Speaker 3: in there.
39:52
Speaker 2: Okay.
39:53
Speaker 8: So you don't listen to no old school rap?
39:56
Speaker 3: I mean, when I'm with my wife.
39:57
Speaker 4: All right.
39:57
Speaker 3: All right. Well, you with your wife every day.
39:59
Speaker 8: No, I'm not.
40:01
Speaker 26: Oh, no.
40:01
Speaker 3: Just in the house. Well, we got we got Gilly
40:05
Speaker 3: and Wallo here.
40:06
Speaker 1: I do want to ask Gilly and Wallo because I
40:08
Speaker 1: asked him, you know, last last break. What what what
40:10
Speaker 1: do they love? What makes them proud about Philly? What
40:13
Speaker 1: genuinely has you concerned and worried for the future of Philadelphia?
40:18
Speaker 24: A lot of people in Philly suffer from.
40:22
Speaker 3: Too cool, too tough, too thorough, too this, too that.
40:28
Speaker 24: That's why a lot of them is too broke.
40:30
Speaker 2: Okay.
40:32
Speaker 3: Too many twos going on.
40:33
Speaker 2: I used to be concerned about that, but I'm thinking
40:35
Speaker 2: people are starting to wake up because it ain't work.
40:38
Speaker 4: Toughness.
40:38
Speaker 2: It ain't work. You know, I realize it ain't work
40:41
Speaker 2: because I was able to take a vacation. When I
40:43
Speaker 2: was going to school, I was going to Penn State
40:44
Speaker 2: for about a long time, so. When I took my vacation,
40:47
Speaker 2: and I was going to Penn State.
40:49
Speaker 8: You were at the Penn State?
40:51
Speaker 16: Yeah.
40:51
Speaker 7: I had to think about that.
40:52
Speaker 11: I know Waller did a lot of stuff.
40:55
Speaker 4: As he came home, but the vacation?
40:58
Speaker 2: Come on.
40:59
Speaker 4: Think about this.
40:59
Speaker 2: Think about this. Hold up.
41:00
Speaker 4: Hold up.
41:01
Speaker 2: Let me just break this down. Let me just break
41:03
Speaker 2: this down.
41:03
Speaker 3: Penn State.
41:06
Speaker 2: Penitentiary is in the state of Pennsylvania, it's the same thing.
41:09
Speaker 2: It's a college campus.
41:12
Speaker 7: I'm just saying.
41:15
Speaker 2: The same thing. But this is what I'm going to say.
41:18
Speaker 3: Not the same thing as going to Lincoln University.
41:21
Speaker 2: I know, I understand, but listen, let me say this.
41:23
Speaker 3: They never had nobody chasing them through the dorms with
41:26
Speaker 3: a knife.
41:26
Speaker 2: Let me just say this, though. Let me say this.
41:29
Speaker 3: Me going away.
41:30
Speaker 2: On vacation, me going away on vacation, I came home,
41:33
Speaker 2: I wasn't worried about none of that. A lot of
41:35
Speaker 2: times people be hyper, they be hyper local. Hyper local
41:39
Speaker 2: can destroy you because when you hyper local, you just
41:41
Speaker 2: stuck on everything, the mindset, the approach of your immediate neighborhood,
41:47
Speaker 2: your immediate community, so it can paralyze you. And that
41:50
Speaker 2: happened in Baltimore. It happened in South Carolina. It happened
41:52
Speaker 2: in different places. People be so obsessed with being so
41:55
Speaker 2: local that it paralyzes them and they can't even move.
41:58
Speaker 2: They can't even see. They don't know New York. First
42:01
Speaker 2: of all, if you think about it, the East Coast
42:03
Speaker 2: is the only place in the world where you got
42:05
Speaker 2: access to five cities in an hour and a half.
42:07
Speaker 3: Even more than that.
42:08
Speaker 2: Think about that. You could jump in the car, go
42:11
Speaker 2: to Baltimore today. You could hit D.C., Baltimore, Philly, New
42:14
Speaker 2: York in one day. All through Jersey in one day.
42:16
Speaker 8: That's five states.
42:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, but think about it. And then you could jump
42:19
Speaker 2: on a plane in 40 minutes, be in Boston. Two hours,
42:21
Speaker 2: be in Atlanta. being Pittsburgh in 40-something minutes, being Detroit
42:25
Speaker 2: in 12. Like, we got a lot of life, but
42:27
Speaker 2: we be so, we think it's a badge of honor
42:30
Speaker 2: to just be so drunk off your own city and
42:35
Speaker 2: your own mindset and your own approach that I see
42:36
Speaker 2: people that got great talents, but they not going to
42:38
Speaker 2: be able to go on the national level because they
42:40
Speaker 2: so localized.
42:42
Speaker 3: How do we get that in a dictionary? That word
42:44
Speaker 3: he just made up.
42:45
Speaker 10: Localized?
42:46
Speaker 3: No.
42:46
Speaker 8: Hyperlocal?
42:47
Speaker 3: Hyperlocal. He just made that up.
42:50
Speaker 4: That's a real word.
42:51
Speaker 2: That's a real word. Ladies that go to college. I
42:53
Speaker 2: think that's a real word because they kicked him out
42:56
Speaker 2: of college. I think that's a real word.
42:57
Speaker 4: Hyperlocal.
42:58
Speaker 2: Well, okay.
42:59
Speaker 7: Google AI says hyperlocal. Thank you.
43:01
Speaker 2: Wikipedia. Wikipedia.
43:02
Speaker 3: I thought he just made that up.
43:04
Speaker 16: Oh, no.
43:04
Speaker 3: Merriam-Webster. Hyperlocal. I thought he was on the fly. Hyperlocal.
43:08
Speaker 2: I went to college.
43:09
Speaker 3: I got a couple words I'm trying to get in
43:11
Speaker 3: the dictionary.
43:12
Speaker 2: What?
43:13
Speaker 3: Ho-Zempic.
43:14
Speaker 4: What's Ho-Zempic?
43:15
Speaker 3: Ho-Zempic. When a woman stress a guy out and he
43:17
Speaker 3: lose weight.
43:17
Speaker 2: Dang!
43:18
Speaker 8: Ho-Zempic.
43:22
Speaker 1: The other thing I love, man, I love what y'all
43:24
Speaker 1: built with Million Dollars Worth of Game, right? What do
43:27
Speaker 1: you think that y'all understand about interviewing artists that traditional
43:31
Speaker 1: media doesn't understand?
43:33
Speaker 4: Because people love to come to y'all.
43:35
Speaker 2: We humanize them. We're not asking about no current drama.
43:39
Speaker 2: We're not actually, we, we, we, we showing people that
43:41
Speaker 2: you hear me just like everybody else laugh. And most
43:43
Speaker 2: of the people don't understand over the years, all our guests,
43:46
Speaker 2: they hit us up. Like, yo, I'm trying to come there.
43:48
Speaker 2: They always wanted to come with us. Cause me and him,
43:50
Speaker 2: when we started, it was just us and Philly doing
43:52
Speaker 2: our thing. And they just was like, yo, we want
43:55
Speaker 2: to come there. Everybody just wanted to, wanted to come
43:57
Speaker 2: to the show. But cause when we got to the show,
43:59
Speaker 2: if you working on a project, we asking you about
44:01
Speaker 2: the project. outside of your, you know, just the funny
44:04
Speaker 2: stuff about your life and just showing like this dude
44:05
Speaker 2: can laugh. This, because, you know, a lot of people
44:08
Speaker 2: see these artists, especially recording artists, they be like, oh,
44:10
Speaker 2: he's tough, he's mean. We be like, he's not tough.
44:13
Speaker 2: This dude's a comedian every time we see him. So
44:15
Speaker 2: we bring them so they can see the side that
44:17
Speaker 2: nobody really get a chance to really see on camera
44:19

45:29
Speaker 4: for you to repeat that. Don't honor him. Don't honor him.
45:33
Speaker 8: What happened, y'all?
45:34
Speaker 10: Pete Davidson came on the show.
45:36
Speaker 31: Yeah.
45:36
Speaker 10: And there was a rumor that he had a 12-inch.
45:38
Speaker 14: Yeah.
45:39
Speaker 2: So I was with a young lady.
45:41
Speaker 3: That's wild.
45:42
Speaker 10: And she was like, you know what, forget it.
45:44
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? You've been doing some crazy
45:47
Speaker 4: stuff to yourself. The young ladies from Lincoln are looking
45:50
Speaker 4: at you with disgust. Y'all ain't going to make me
45:52
Speaker 4: gay in here today. All right, so question.
45:54
Speaker 8: We ain't got to do this.
45:55
Speaker 4: Give me a while.
45:55
Speaker 6: I asked you about the old head, and you're not
45:57
Speaker 6: liking old heads. So what is your thoughts on Hove
46:00
Speaker 6: doing the Super Bowl?
46:01
Speaker 2: Why not?
46:02
Speaker 3: Why not? I mean, come on.
46:04
Speaker 24: Let's not act like Jay-Z ain't one of the biggest
46:07
Speaker 24: to ever do it.
46:08
Speaker 2: I think he is the biggest. I think I think
46:10
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this.
46:11
Speaker 10: I think so.
46:11
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this. I'm going to say this.
46:13
Speaker 2: Why is we even asking the question when he come
46:15
Speaker 2: from where we come from? But the problem is this
46:18
Speaker 2: whole Internet stuff is so fake and it's not real outside.
46:21
Speaker 2: The people is so caught up in that. that you
46:23
Speaker 2: could put a narrative that he ain't who he is.
46:26
Speaker 2: How is people with no credibility, I can't say that
46:29
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan a bum. I can't say that LeBron's a
46:31
Speaker 2: Kobe's a bum. How is people that never did what
46:33
Speaker 2: you did, never accomplished 1% of what you did, even
46:36
Speaker 2: questioning who you is and accomplishments and the contribution that
46:39
Speaker 2: you made to hip hop, the community, and a whole.
46:42
Speaker 2: Like me, I'm going to say this.
46:44
Speaker 3: I agree with all of it.
46:44
Speaker 2: And I'm speaking from a different point. You know, a
46:46
Speaker 2: lot of people speak about people that they never be around.
46:49
Speaker 2: I was on a board with Jay-Z. Jay-Z... Michael Rubin
46:51
Speaker 2: and Meek Mills positioned me to be the head of
46:53
Speaker 2: marketing and reform. So I was on the board with
46:55
Speaker 2: these guys. Like, you don't even know this dude. You
46:58
Speaker 2: don't even know how many people he, how many laws
47:00
Speaker 2: he changed to make sure people get out of prison.
47:02
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And I'm not, I ain't,
47:04
Speaker 2: you know, people would think, oh, it ain't about working
47:07
Speaker 2: for Roc Nation. It ain't about being with Roc Nation.
47:08
Speaker 2: But like, when did we get to the point where
47:10
Speaker 2: all we do is sit home? Like, what did you do?
47:13
Speaker 2: We got people that we never say, what did you
47:15
Speaker 2: do in your life that qualify you to question or
47:18
Speaker 2: attack somebody's character, attack somebody's, legendary status of what they
47:22
Speaker 2: done and what they added to society and you never
47:24
Speaker 2: added nothing. Like you literally, we live in a world
47:26
Speaker 2: now where we got people that sit home, you ain't
47:28
Speaker 2: got no job, you ain't taking care of your kids,
47:30
Speaker 2: you ain't got nothing going on, but you can comment
47:32
Speaker 2: on somebody's life. You're not in position to comment on
47:34
Speaker 2: nobody's life because you don't have your stuff in order.
47:37
Speaker 2: But that's the world we live in. Oh, let me
47:39
Speaker 2: just make a comment because my life ain't going on.
47:41
Speaker 2: My life ain't right, so I'm mad at the world.
47:43
Speaker 3: That's right.
47:44
Speaker 2: That's the name of the game now. My life ain't right,
47:47
Speaker 2: and the decisions that I made in my 20s, that's
47:49
Speaker 2: why I always tell young people, take advantage of your 20s,
47:52
Speaker 2: the 30s, because them the moments that you can position
47:54
Speaker 2: your life forever. That's right. But you got people that's
47:56
Speaker 2: like 20s or 30s. I fumbled my life away. Now
47:59
Speaker 2: I'm in my 40s. I'm mad at the world. Everybody
48:02
Speaker 2: owe me. I'm entitled.
48:03
Speaker 3: Talk to them.
48:04
Speaker 4: Look at them.
48:04
Speaker 2: Look at them. The answers is in the mirror. Word up.
48:08
Speaker 2: The answers is in the mirror. It's not nowhere else.
48:10
Speaker 2: So we got to get to the thing. We really
48:12
Speaker 2: sitting here, people asking, how do you feel about, what
48:14
Speaker 2: you mean how do you feel about Jay-Z doing it?
48:17
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
48:18
Speaker 4: We should celebrate it.
48:19
Speaker 3: We should definitely celebrate it. You talking about the black
48:21
Speaker 3: guy that came from the ghetto as a billionaire? That's right.
48:23
Speaker 3: How I feel about him?
48:25
Speaker 4: That gives back to the people in jail.
48:26
Speaker 2: That could have been dead or in jail. Word up.
48:27
Speaker 2: Somebody could have came and bought some off a hoe
48:29
Speaker 2: back in the day and killed him or robbed him.
48:31
Speaker 2: Or he could have went to the penitentiary and went
48:32
Speaker 2: on had him. And a lot of people that wouldn't
48:34
Speaker 2: even have opportunities and a lot of things. See, when
48:37
Speaker 2: you do things and you don't brag about them, people
48:39
Speaker 2: will try to act like you don't do nothing. Because
48:41
Speaker 2: we're so used to people showing, oh, let's feed the community. Oh,
48:44
Speaker 2: let's do this. Let's send people to college.
48:45
Speaker 4: Let's do it.
48:46
Speaker 2: If you don't put it out there, you never did nothing.
48:48
Speaker 2: Especially in our community.
48:49
Speaker 15: Yeah.
48:50
Speaker 2: In our community, and it's like this in our community.
48:53
Speaker 2: If everybody's right here, we give them something. We give
48:56
Speaker 2: them a gift certificate. We do whatever. If it's 10
48:58
Speaker 2: people outside and they ain't getting nothing, the story going
49:00
Speaker 2: to hit this, we never done nothing.
49:01
Speaker 3: Right?
49:03
Speaker 2: Nobody got taken care of.
49:04
Speaker 4: That's right.
49:05
Speaker 2: But you said something one time, and it was the
49:07
Speaker 2: most powerful thing. You said, I love my people, but
49:10
Speaker 2: I know my people. Oh, I was quoting Minister Farrakhan.
49:15
Speaker 1: Minister Farrakhan said you have to love black people more
49:20
Speaker 1: than they hate themselves.
49:21
Speaker 3: It's deep.
49:22
Speaker 2: So everybody's just a critic of nothing. Like, what did
49:25
Speaker 2: you do? Like, what did you really do to the community?
49:29
Speaker 2: What did you really do for your family? What did
49:30
Speaker 2: you do for your life? But no, we don't even
49:33
Speaker 2: question that. We just look at people like, dang, you
49:35
Speaker 2: know what? that person or that person said something bad
49:38
Speaker 2: about the successful person. My life is not in order.
49:40
Speaker 2: Let me just agree with that. We got so many good.
49:43
Speaker 2: Cause you got more something to comment with the person
49:45
Speaker 2: ain't got nothing going on. If you ain't got nothing
49:46
Speaker 2: going on, then the successful person. So it's like, it's
49:49
Speaker 2: just attack on people that put the hard work in
49:51
Speaker 2: and made it in life. Everybody like, Oh, let's attack them.
49:54
Speaker 2: Let's be mad at them. Let's be, no, you gotta
49:57
Speaker 2: be mad at yourself. You didn't do nothing with your life.
49:59
Speaker 2: That's on you.
50:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
50:00
Speaker 3: But it's cool though.
50:01
Speaker 24: When, when, when, when he, talk a little trash and
50:04
Speaker 24: be in the comments because that's the beautiful thing about it.
50:08
Speaker 3: You get to see who in the comments. You get
50:10
Speaker 3: to see who you X off the list. Oh, you
50:12
Speaker 3: in the comments? Speak to him.
50:13
Speaker 4: Oh, you in the comments? The internet was a gift
50:17
Speaker 4: and a curse.
50:17
Speaker 3: And the gift of it was.
50:22
Speaker 2: If we didn't never had an internet, a lot of
50:24
Speaker 2: us in here, we wouldn't know that some of our
50:26
Speaker 2: friends and family members don't like us.
50:28
Speaker 4: Word is bold.
50:29
Speaker 2: See, they can't sit back. They can't just sit back
50:31
Speaker 2: and just deal with it. They got to jump into it. Yeah,
50:34
Speaker 2: he fake anyway. That person ain't this anyway. Or that
50:36
Speaker 2: person ain't real.
50:36
Speaker 4: They always.
50:37
Speaker 2: So you get to see, damn, I ain't know my
50:39
Speaker 2: cousin never really liked me. I thought we was cool.
50:41
Speaker 2: We always can't take pictures. He really envious of my success.
50:43
Speaker 2: Did you just see the story of the brother that
50:46
Speaker 2: killed his brother because he was jealous because he bought
50:48
Speaker 2: his mom a house?
50:49
Speaker 10: I saw that, yeah.
50:50
Speaker 2: Bro, that's the world we live in. He killed his
50:52
Speaker 2: own brother because he was jealous because he bought his
50:55
Speaker 2: mom a house at like 25.
50:56

55:47
Speaker 2: to tell him that because at that moment.

Speaker 7: He was.
55:49
Speaker 2: At that moment, he was.
55:50
Speaker 4: We was in this building.

Speaker 2: So I'm like, so when he said that, I'm like,
55:54
Speaker 2: how dare you? You just was on the, he told
55:56
Speaker 2: me every year you're on a different team. Well, I said,

Speaker 4: Do the Sixers have enough, Gilly?
56:04
Speaker 10: Yes.

Speaker 4: To win it all? Yes.
56:06
Speaker 12: No.
56:06
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
56:07
Speaker 4: Sixers and Sixers. Against who? Against the Knicks.
56:11
Speaker 2: Well, that can't be.
56:11
Speaker 10: They're on the same side.

Speaker 3: In the Eastern Conference Finals.
56:14
Speaker 2: Right.
56:15
Speaker 3: Sixers and Sixers.
56:15
Speaker 10: On the Eastern Conference Finals? I don't know.
56:19
Speaker 2: Y'all look good, but I got my Knicks all the way.
56:22
Speaker 4: Y'all done ran in LeBron? Y'all ran in LeBron already, right?
56:25
Speaker 2: Say what's that, Jalen?
56:26
Speaker 4: The Knicks played him tonight at your home.
56:28
Speaker 2: We're going to brush your ass tonight.
56:33
Speaker 3: Y'all still celebrating.
56:35
Speaker 24: Listen, y'all took so long to win a championship that
56:38
Speaker 24: now y'all won a championship.
56:39
Speaker 3: Y'all still celebrating, man.
56:41
Speaker 2: Y'all didn't win.
56:41
Speaker 3: We won. Y'all still celebrating.
56:43
Speaker 31: We won.
56:43
Speaker 3: Y'all can't believe y'all did it.
56:45
Speaker 2: So, Wyla, when you going to switch back over to
56:47
Speaker 2: the other side? Stop saying we.
56:48
Speaker 31: No, no, no, no.
56:49
Speaker 4: Hold, hold, hold.
56:50
Speaker 2: Right now, right now, I told Maxie and all them, Jaylen,
56:53
Speaker 2: they're my guys. But I told them, I said, listen,
56:56
Speaker 2: y'all didn't earn me to be a fan yet. Y'all still,
56:58
Speaker 2: y'all got.
56:58
Speaker 4: To warm up, man.
56:59
Speaker 2: Don't, it's too early.
57:00
Speaker 5: It's too early.
57:01
Speaker 2: It's too early. And then, you know, because OKC, that's
57:03
Speaker 2: my team too. Spurs. You just said the Knicks was
57:05
Speaker 2: your team. No, but I'm just saying I got multiple
57:07
Speaker 2: teams for multiple reasons. You can't have multiple teams.
57:10
Speaker 4: You got to have one. Yeah, you can't have multiple teams.
57:13
Speaker 2: No, Nick's still my team right now.
57:14
Speaker 4: And we do that, too, though.
57:16
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
57:17
Speaker 8: You know, my team is the Ravens, but basketball team,
57:19
Speaker 8: I don't have a team. We don't have a team.
57:21
Speaker 3: By the way, Jess just got to ask that because
57:24
Speaker 3: you know.
57:24
Speaker 4: That's exactly what happened. She used to be a Steelers fan.
57:28
Speaker 4: She became a Ravens fan.
57:29
Speaker 7: You got to explain to them why I was a
57:31
Speaker 7: Steelers fan. Ain't nothing wrong with that, Jess. You got
57:33
Speaker 7: to explain.
57:34
Speaker 11: It's just wild, though, because that is the rival team
57:36
Speaker 11: with Baltimore, right?
57:37
Speaker 3: It's good.
57:38
Speaker 11: But I went to high school in Pennsylvania, and that's
57:41
Speaker 11: when I got into football. And so I became a Steelers.
57:45
Speaker 11: I mean, I wasn't like, I didn't go to.
57:47
Speaker 3: What team he like?
57:48
Speaker 8: My husband?
57:49
Speaker 20: Yes.
57:49
Speaker 8: Because I'm not in a relationship, I'm in a marriage.
57:50
Speaker 3: Period, girl.
57:52
Speaker 2: Period, period.
57:53
Speaker 3: Boy, I'm sorry.
57:54
Speaker 16: I didn't see the wedding. Shut up.
57:56
Speaker 4: Shut up.
57:57
Speaker 7: Nobody saw the wedding. It was private internet.
58:00
Speaker 8: Everything ain't for the internet.
58:01
Speaker 2: What team is your team?
58:02
Speaker 11: He's a Ravens fan. He's a Ravens fan. But I'm
58:06
Speaker 11: from Baltimore, so I had to come.
58:07
Speaker 2: Back home anyway.
58:08
Speaker 8: She can jump teams, but not you.
58:10
Speaker 2: No, but I only did it one time.
58:11
Speaker 5: You do it every year, Wilder.
58:13
Speaker 2: It's the power of the peace. That's right. These are
58:16
Speaker 2: big winners.

Speaker 24: My cap, cap, cap.
59:17
Speaker 3: I'm going to say this.
59:19
Speaker 4: God is good. I'm going to say this.
59:20
Speaker 2: Before I leave, I got to say this. For y'all
59:22
Speaker 2: that don't know. I might have called Charlemagne 50 different
59:26
Speaker 2: times for 50 different people. Charlemagne, he's the dot connector.

1:00:20
Speaker 20: And if it's a thing that there's light-skinned privilege there.

Speaker 7: Is it not? We'll talk about it.

Speaker 20: Virginia Union versus Lincoln today at Lincoln Financial Field. So
1:01:24
Speaker 20: it's just a celebration of HBCUs in the city of Philadelphia.
1:01:26
Speaker 6: I just spoke to the president of your school, your

Speaker 6: alma mater. He said he will be giving me a helmet.
1:01:31
Speaker 6: by monday you're gonna help me but.
1:01:32
Speaker 1: It's because they gotta use them for saturday's game oh
1:01:35
Speaker 1: they got one with the pass around and then you
1:01:36
Speaker 1: gotta give it back on friday.
1:01:38
Speaker 20: I gotta get it i don't like how y'all be
1:01:40
Speaker 20: trying to do this but.
1:01:41
Speaker 2: We here all right what we got what we talking about.
1:01:43
Speaker 20: All righty so uh mona you guys know uh demona
1:01:46
Speaker 20: don't call me white girl she has her podcast don't
1:01:48
Speaker 20: call me white girl slash delaware.
1:01:51
Speaker 7: Um oh right but.
1:01:53
Speaker 20: She's also a part of the joe button podcast too
1:01:55
Speaker 20: but So there's a video, some commentary that Mona dropped
1:01:58
Speaker 20: about Cardi B that is causing conversation. She's talking about
1:02:02
Speaker 20: colorism and favoritism with colorism when it comes to Cardi.
1:02:05
Speaker 20: Let's take a listen to the audio.
1:02:07
Speaker 8: I love Cardi B.
1:02:08
Speaker 9: Huge fan.
1:02:09
Speaker 4: We chat sometimes.
1:02:11
Speaker 21: The reason why dark-skinned women don't get the same brand
1:02:14
Speaker 21: news as she is because she's light-skinned and she's Dominican.
1:02:17
Speaker 9: I don't care if she considers.
1:02:19
Speaker 8: Herself a * * * * or not.
1:02:19
Speaker 2: She's still Dominican, which.
1:02:21
Speaker 21: Is like some type of fancy on it in this country.
1:02:23
Speaker 21: It makes you better than a * * * *.
1:02:25
Speaker 8: In this country.
1:02:25
Speaker 21: I don't give a if it was a match of
1:02:27
Speaker 21: Cardi B and the bitch was equally as talented, but
1:02:30
Speaker 21: she was dark skinned, there's no way that that person
1:02:32
Speaker 21: would make it as far as Cardi B. It would
1:02:33
Speaker 21: take extra special type of pull from God.
1:02:37
Speaker 8: This is just not gonna happen.
1:02:38
Speaker 21: I used to say all the time, like, I know
1:02:39
Speaker 21: that if I was big and black when I started this,
1:02:42
Speaker 21: it might not have went this far.
1:02:43
Speaker 5: Because colorism is real.
1:02:44
Speaker 10: Racism is real.
1:02:45
Speaker 21: It's almost shocking that everybody don't know that in 2026.
1:02:48
Speaker 8: Like, shocking. Y'all just called me white and a colorist,
1:02:51
Speaker 8: so I'm gonna stay the out of it.
1:02:54
Speaker 11: Alright, so what's Megan's? Why Megan made it so far?
1:02:59
Speaker 4: That is true.
1:02:59
Speaker 8: Why did Dolce make it as far as she did?
1:03:03
Speaker 6: Colorism is real, but you can go back to Lil' Kim,
1:03:05
Speaker 6: you can go back to Foxy Brown, you can go
1:03:07
Speaker 6: back to even Nicki Minaj.
1:03:09
Speaker 2: They've all been successful in their fields, and they all
1:03:11
Speaker 2: have big brand.
1:03:11
Speaker 3: Deals, right?
1:03:13
Speaker 1: I love debates like this, but Mona is simplifying it
1:03:16
Speaker 1: a lot, because race and ethnicity can absolutely influence which
1:03:19
Speaker 1: artists get brand deals, but they don't automatically determine... Who
1:03:22
Speaker 1: gets them? You still have to have commercial value attached
1:03:25
Speaker 1: to that complexion or that identity. Because brands aren't just
1:03:28
Speaker 1: buying you and your skin complexion. They're buying access to
1:03:30
Speaker 1: your audience and your ability to make consumers care about
1:03:33
Speaker 1: your product. And Cardi B can definitely make people care.
1:03:36
Speaker 8: Exactly. You're buying her personality, too.
1:03:38
Speaker 20: I think the argument is a conversation that I understand
1:03:41
Speaker 20: why people have because it is a thing. But Cardi's
1:03:43
Speaker 20: a little different only because we watched her work so hard.
1:03:46
Speaker 2: But not only that, Cardi's not.
1:03:48
Speaker 8: A good example.
1:03:48
Speaker 2: She had the biggest hate.
1:03:49
Speaker 10: Remember how they hated on Cardi?
1:03:51
Speaker 2: She was a stripper.
1:03:51
Speaker 4: She can't do music.
1:03:53
Speaker 20: I remember when Cardi transitioned, not even transitioned, but wanted
1:03:56
Speaker 20: to get into fashion more. I remember Fashion Bomb Daily
1:04:00
Speaker 20: and Claire were the only fashion magazines that would support
1:04:03
Speaker 20: her because she was this reality star and people didn't
1:04:05
Speaker 20: want to touch her. And she did it from that
1:04:07
Speaker 20: moment on, and look where she is now, even in
1:04:08
Speaker 20: the fashion lane.
1:04:09
Speaker 2: DJs didn't want to play Cardi's record.
1:04:11
Speaker 6: Cardi had a really rough and tough time, but she
1:04:14
Speaker 6: broke through it, and she's getting everything that.
1:04:15
Speaker 4: She's supposed to. But I don't want to diminish what
1:04:18
Speaker 4: Mona said.
1:04:18
Speaker 11: I just think Cardi is the wrong example.
1:04:22
Speaker 2: She's not a good example.
1:04:23
Speaker 20: Because it is real, and you can mention Magda Style,
1:04:25
Speaker 20: and you can mention Adolci, but name 10 big, like
1:04:29
Speaker 20: right now, current.
1:04:30
Speaker 4: You can't name 10 big light-skinned ones either. Lotto.
1:04:34
Speaker 7: Dolce.
1:04:34
Speaker 4: Lotto ain't on Cardi.
1:04:35
Speaker 12: What? No.
1:04:36
Speaker 4: And you said Dolce. I'm sorry, not Dolce.
1:04:38
Speaker 7: Dolce Cat, but they're big.
1:04:39
Speaker 4: Dolce Cat ain't on Cardi.
1:04:40
Speaker 7: They're not Cardi, but they're big enough and they have
1:04:42
Speaker 7: these huge brand deals.
1:04:43
Speaker 1: Respectfully, Lotto and Dolce, I mean, Dolce Cat don't have
1:04:47
Speaker 1: more brand deals than.
1:04:47
Speaker 7: Megan Thee Stallion.
1:04:49
Speaker 20: But still, I'm going to give you a list of
1:04:51
Speaker 20: five people and you put five dark-skinned women up to
1:04:54
Speaker 20: that and then we can talk.
1:04:55
Speaker 7: So I have Lotto. I have Dolce. I'm sorry. I
1:04:57
Speaker 7: have Doja Cat. I have Meg Thee Stallion, who's kind
1:05:00
Speaker 7: of on the brown side.
1:05:01
Speaker 4: Meg got more than people you just think.
1:05:03
Speaker 20: But I'm just talking about what I'm trying to I'm
1:05:05
Speaker 20: trying to make the argument not who has more. It's
1:05:07
Speaker 20: the amount that you see on a lighter side versus
1:05:10
Speaker 20: a darker skin.
1:05:11
Speaker 1: I think the caste system in this country is real
1:05:14
Speaker 1: and it does matter. But when you're talking about brand deals,
1:05:16
Speaker 1: cultural influence matters, audience demographics matter.
1:05:20
Speaker 4: Brand compatibility matters. Commercial reach matters. Reputation matters.
1:05:24
Speaker 1: And one of the most important factors is representation and relationships.
1:05:28
Speaker 4: Who is your management team? Who is your agency?
1:05:31
Speaker 1: Are they getting you in the right conversation?
1:05:33
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
1:05:34
Speaker 4: Megan Thee Stallion got some pretty good representation. You know
1:05:36
Speaker 4: who it is?
1:05:37
Speaker 3: Who? I work for him.
1:05:39
Speaker 2: We got to go, too, guys.
1:05:40
Speaker 3: We got to go.
1:05:40
Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
1:05:41
Speaker 18: Okay.

1:15:53
Speaker 4: That's right. We are live. Once again, HBCU week.
1:15:58
Speaker 3: We'll be back.
1:15:59
Speaker 4: It's the Breakfast Club.
1:16:00
Speaker 3: Good morning.
1:16:00
Speaker 5: Good morning.
1:16:01
Speaker 4: We are the Breakfast Club.
1:16:02
Speaker 10: We are broadcasting live in Philly.
1:16:04
Speaker 6: We have the president of Delaware State and the president
1:16:06
Speaker 6: of Norfolk State here. And I was asking about really
1:16:09
Speaker 6: hugging and making sure that we represent our alumni.
1:16:11
Speaker 2: So talk about how important that is.
1:16:13
Speaker 26: So our alumni are the basis and the base of
1:16:17
Speaker 26: the institution. I love that they come back. They're invested.
1:16:21
Speaker 9: They care. They go out and make the name for
1:16:24
Speaker 9: the university. But that's across HBCUs.
1:16:27
Speaker 26: And to Tony's point, if not for the alums of HBCUs,
1:16:32
Speaker 26: there would not be a black middle class, a black
1:16:35
Speaker 26: wealth class. And we are in the business of bringing
1:16:39
Speaker 26: everybody along. So we love our alumni.
1:16:44
Speaker 32: Hey, Jess, I just wanted to say one thing to you.
1:16:46
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
1:16:48
Speaker 32: In my first couple of days as president, I had
1:16:51
Speaker 32: a young man come to me, and he said he
1:16:54
Speaker 32: had to see me.
1:16:55
Speaker 3: He was homeless.
1:16:56
Speaker 32: I said, how long have you been homeless, brother? He said,
1:16:58
Speaker 32: I've been homeless since I was a sophomore in high school.
1:16:59
Speaker 32: I said, what year are you at Del State? He said,
1:17:01
Speaker 32: sophomore at Del State. So I wrapped my arms around him.
1:17:04
Speaker 32: My wife stayed with me, and my wife drove us crazy.
1:17:08
Speaker 32: That brother is an inner city teacher in a Baltimore
1:17:11
Speaker 32: City public school.
1:17:12
Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
1:17:13
Speaker 2: That is the power of HBCUs.
1:17:15
Speaker 4: That's amazing.
1:17:15
Speaker 17: Yeah.
1:17:16
Speaker 1: Do you believe we're discouraging an entire generation of black
1:17:19
Speaker 1: students from from getting an education that could change their
1:17:23
Speaker 1: economic circumstances?
1:17:24
Speaker 4: Because, you know, we have all these conversations about being entrepreneur,
1:17:26
Speaker 4: you know, go learn a trade.
1:17:28
Speaker 1: You think we're discouraging people from going to HBCU?
1:17:30
Speaker 9: I think they need to do both.
1:17:32
Speaker 26: And I think in our institution, we make sure that
1:17:35
Speaker 26: there's opportunity for students to be entrepreneurial, entrepreneurial, but also
1:17:39
Speaker 26: for them to get a certification.
1:17:42
Speaker 9: But they need that four year degree. That four-year degree is.
1:17:45
Speaker 26: Never going to go away, and it's not going to
1:17:47
Speaker 26: change up like some of these certifications will be different
1:17:51
Speaker 26: for them. So we want to do both and and
1:17:54
Speaker 26: make sure that they know the power of a four-year
1:17:57
Speaker 26: degree and then go on to graduate or professional school
1:18:00
Speaker 26: if they so desire.
1:18:02
Speaker 11: I know a lot of kids, I hear a lot
1:18:03
Speaker 11: of people saying, you know, a lot of people go
1:18:06
Speaker 11: to college and they're not able to find a job
1:18:08
Speaker 11: with the degree that they just spent all these years.
1:18:10
Speaker 8: In college for.
1:18:12
Speaker 11: How do you, what would you tell a student, like
1:18:15
Speaker 11: a young black person who wants to go to college
1:18:17
Speaker 11: but is discouraged, right, because they feel like I'm going
1:18:20
Speaker 11: to put all this time and money, you know what
1:18:22
Speaker 11: I mean, I've got to pay back student loans, I've
1:18:24
Speaker 11: got to find a job, I've got to be able
1:18:25
Speaker 11: to keep my head above water living, you know what
1:18:28
Speaker 11: I mean, what would you say to activate them to.
1:18:29
Speaker 10: Go to college?
1:18:29
Speaker 26: So one thing that is really important is the major
1:18:33
Speaker 26: is not the major thing. What they need to be
1:18:37
Speaker 26: learning is about how to critically think, how to work
1:18:41
Speaker 26: in teams, how to be a part of leadership. All
1:18:47
Speaker 26: of those things that come both in the classroom and
1:18:49
Speaker 26: outside of the classroom.
1:18:50
Speaker 9: That prepare them.
1:18:51
Speaker 26: Because we already know that Gallup tells us that students
1:18:55
Speaker 26: are going to have five to seven careers, not jobs,
1:19:00
Speaker 26: five to seven careers.
1:19:01
Speaker 9: So they have to be able to pivot.
1:19:03
Speaker 26: So this old notion that you can only get a
1:19:05
Speaker 26: job in the thing that you majored in is just not.
1:19:09
Speaker 26: I mean, it's not true anymore. So we have to
1:19:11
Speaker 26: have them know that and be able to prepare themselves
1:19:15
Speaker 26: to make those pivots.
1:19:16
Speaker 32: And you also have to get the experience, too, while
1:19:18
Speaker 32: they're in school. We can't wait until their rising junior,
1:19:21
Speaker 32: rising senior year where they're looking for internships. It's got
1:19:23
Speaker 32: to be right at the start. There's an organization called
1:19:26
Speaker 32: Braven that is working with Fortune 500 companies. that create
1:19:30
Speaker 32: these mentoring relationships where the kids can ask the questions
1:19:33
Speaker 32: before they're ever in an internship or job placement and
1:19:35
Speaker 32: then get real jobs while they're in school. So they're
1:19:38
Speaker 32: prepared to take that next step as soon as they
1:19:40
Speaker 32: walk across that stage.
1:19:42
Speaker 2: What do you think HBCUs are doing wrong, if anything, right?
1:19:45
Speaker 6: I remember as a kid, the reason I wanted to
1:19:47
Speaker 6: go to HBCU was watching A Different World, right?
1:19:49
Speaker 10: I thought Hillman was Hampton, and I was like, that's
1:19:51
Speaker 10: where I want to go.
1:19:52
Speaker 6: I don't see much of that on television anymore, even
1:19:54
Speaker 6: though they just brought it back recently, which is amazing.
1:19:56
Speaker 2: But what do you think the HBCU schools are getting wrong,
1:19:59
Speaker 2: if anything?
1:20:01
Speaker 32: I wouldn't say getting wrong, but I would say we
1:20:03
Speaker 32: have to make sure that we.
1:20:05
Speaker 2: Understand who we are.
1:20:06
Speaker 32: HBCUs collectively contribute $ 17 billion in gross domestic product to
1:20:11
Speaker 32: the American economy every year. So it's not just about
1:20:14
Speaker 32: higher education. It's about being anchors in our respective communities
1:20:18
Speaker 32: in a really important way.
1:20:19
Speaker 3: And we need to.
1:20:19
Speaker 32: Walk with a certain kind of swag and pride. I
1:20:22
Speaker 32: can't tell you how proud I am of Lauren LaRosa
1:20:25
Speaker 32: and how.
1:20:26
Speaker 2: We're able to elevate her.
1:20:28
Speaker 32: And we need to be doing that with each other
1:20:30
Speaker 32: all the time and recognizing that this is about our network.
1:20:33
Speaker 32: And it's not just Delaware State. And I think Dr.
1:20:37
Speaker 32: J feels this way. I speak for the entire HBC community.
1:20:39
Speaker 32: I hope they speak for me, too, because that's 325,000 students.
1:20:43
Speaker 32: We're graduating every year, every year across every discipline.
1:20:47
Speaker 20: I want to say thank you to Dr. Tony Allen
1:20:50
Speaker 20: and to the people that are here. But I also
1:20:52
Speaker 20: want to. mentioned, we all talk about like kids and
1:20:55
Speaker 20: the students in the different careers. I had about like
1:20:57
Speaker 20: five or seven, but it was because of the partnerships
1:21:00
Speaker 20: that Del State had. My first like business corporate experience
1:21:04
Speaker 20: was at Barclay Carr. And it was because of the
1:21:05
Speaker 20: internship that I had that was a part of the program,
1:21:08
Speaker 20: the business program that I was in at Delaware State University.
1:21:11
Speaker 20: So I know that partnerships really, really matter for y'all.
1:21:13
Speaker 20: And I think when people and the students see these
1:21:16
Speaker 20: corporations on campus, it's just like these people that are here,
1:21:19
Speaker 20: but it's really important for y'all to go and talk
1:21:21
Speaker 20: to those people. Cause I didn't think that there was
1:21:22
Speaker 20: no point of working in a bank and it changed
1:21:25
Speaker 20: my life, but Delaware state, I didn't have a choice.
1:21:27
Speaker 7: I had to do it.
1:21:28
Speaker 8: It was a part of my program.
1:21:30
Speaker 10: Well, we appreciate you guys for joining us.
1:21:32
Speaker 1: I did have one last question. I want you to
1:21:34
Speaker 1: talk to the parents out there, right? The black parents
1:21:36
Speaker 1: who believe their children will have more opportunities to attending
1:21:39
Speaker 1: a PWI, what would you tell those parents about what
1:21:41
Speaker 1: an HBCU can provide?
1:21:43
Speaker 2: The facts don't support that. I just want to be
1:21:45
Speaker 2: clear about that.
1:21:46
Speaker 32: The facts support that if you're a black student at
1:21:49
Speaker 32: an HBCU or a black student at a PWI, earnings
1:21:51
Speaker 32: are higher, satisfaction is higher, and your commitment to your
1:21:54
Speaker 32: community is higher.
1:21:55
Speaker 26: And I would just say to that, one of the
1:21:57
Speaker 26: reasons that that occurs is that you don't have to
1:21:59
Speaker 26: figure out if you belong. When you come in, you belong,
1:22:04
Speaker 26: you are loved, you are looked at as somebody who's special.
1:22:08
Speaker 26: It's a special set of talents that we need to
1:22:11
Speaker 26: refine and help you get ready to go out into
1:22:13
Speaker 26: the world of work, just like you did.
1:22:15
Speaker 7: Thank you. No time for one more.
1:22:17
Speaker 10: I just want to ask you.
1:22:19
Speaker 20: Oh, what's one thing, in all these conversations we're having
1:22:21
Speaker 20: about HBCUs, what's one thing people are not talking about
1:22:24
Speaker 20: that people should be talking about when it comes to
1:22:27
Speaker 20: HBCUs and what y'all need right now?
1:22:29
Speaker 2: Money.
1:22:30
Speaker 10: Money, yeah.
1:22:30
Speaker 4: Money, money, money.
1:22:32
Speaker 26: We do.
1:22:33
Speaker 32: We know that our education matches any other education in
1:22:37
Speaker 32: the country. We need our learning and living spaces to
1:22:40
Speaker 32: match that quality of education. So money, infrastructure, all those
1:22:44
Speaker 32: things are important to who we are and how much
1:22:47
Speaker 32: we can contribute to the American economy.
1:22:49
Speaker 20: And can everyday people give money or donate or support
1:22:52
Speaker 20: HBCU financially?
1:22:53
Speaker 9: Every penny matters.
1:22:55
Speaker 26: I tell people all the time, everybody doesn't have to
1:22:56
Speaker 26: give $ 50 million.
1:22:58
Speaker 9: What I need is for folks who have $ 5.
1:23:01
Speaker 26: Who have $ 100, who have $ 1, 000, who have $ 10, 000.
1:23:05
Speaker 9: Whatever it is, it contributes to these students.
1:23:09
Speaker 26: And I always make our students aware that somebody gave
1:23:13
Speaker 26: up something to give this to you.
1:23:15
Speaker 32: And that's an alumni point, too. Alumni have to give
1:23:18
Speaker 32: back in questions.
1:23:19
Speaker 2: I do have one last question.
1:23:21
Speaker 6: Mike Vick, coming back to Norfolk State, coming back to Norfolk,
1:23:24
Speaker 6: his 757 to coach.
1:23:27
Speaker 2: How did that happen?
1:23:28
Speaker 6: And Of course, there was not enough money in the
1:23:30
Speaker 6: world that could pay him to do it. So how
1:23:32
Speaker 6: did that conversation happen?
1:23:33
Speaker 4: I have a rock.
1:23:34
Speaker 26: Star athletic director, Dr. Melody Webb, who had the idea.
1:23:38
Speaker 26: We should include and go after Mike Vick. And she
1:23:44
Speaker 26: did and we did together. And it has been great
1:23:48
Speaker 26: for everyone. It's a good opportunity for people to see
1:23:53
Speaker 26: people can come back to the area and come back
1:23:56
Speaker 26: and come and work at an institution and really develop
1:24:01
Speaker 26: young men and really be committed to that development.
1:24:04
Speaker 10: Now what about Deshaun?
1:24:08
Speaker 32: Deshaun came to me on Christmas Eve. I interviewed him
1:24:11
Speaker 32: on Christmas Eve. And the humility was what took me.
1:24:16
Speaker 32: That he didn't think he was doing us a favor
1:24:18
Speaker 32: by coming to Delaware State. We had some mutual interest.
1:24:21
Speaker 32: And I know you interviewed him on his Go Deep documentary.
1:24:24
Speaker 32: That tells you everything you need to know about that
1:24:26
Speaker 32: man and how he believes in young men.
1:24:28
Speaker 2: So we're very excited to have him.
1:24:29
Speaker 6: Now you just need Allen Iverson to coach the basketball
1:24:31
Speaker 6: team at Norfolk State.
1:24:34
Speaker 3: That's right.
1:24:35
Speaker 26: Come on down.
1:24:35
Speaker 3: He's at the university.
1:24:37
Speaker 8: All the time. And you look so good in that green, sis.
1:24:38
Speaker 8: I just want to tell you that you look so good.
1:24:41
Speaker 9: And it's a pleasure and an honor to be here
1:24:43
Speaker 9: with you.
1:24:43
Speaker 7: Thank you guys for joining us today.
1:24:44
Speaker 8: You look good too, Dr.
1:24:45
Speaker 3: Allen.
1:24:46
Speaker 8: I'm just trying to learn the Lincoln chant.
1:24:48
Speaker 2: The Lincoln chant is incredible. All we have is somebody
1:24:51
Speaker 2: say DSU.
1:24:52
Speaker 20: I never want DSU chant.
1:24:54
Speaker 7: You in here trying to learn the other one.
1:24:55
Speaker 14: Dr.
1:24:56
Speaker 2: J Norfolk State.
1:24:58
Speaker 6: Delaware State President Tony Allen, thank you so much. We
1:25:00
Speaker 6: appreciate you guys so much. And who's winning the game?
1:25:02
Speaker 3: Come on.
1:25:03
Speaker 2: You already know.
1:25:03
Speaker 4: We already did this. It's the Breakfast Club.
1:25:08
Speaker 10: Good morning.
1:25:08
Speaker 4: Hey, y'all.
1:25:09
Speaker 20: It's Lauren LaRosa, and we've heard the saying, it's better
1:25:12
Speaker 20: to give than receive. And I mean, it's hard to
1:25:14
Speaker 20: argue with that. It just feels good giving a good gift.
1:25:18
Speaker 7: You feel good.
1:25:19
Speaker 20: They feel good. Everybody feels good. But, and hear me out,
1:25:23
Speaker 20: I'm going to suggest an exception. Well, not really an exception.
1:25:26
Speaker 20: It's more of like a twist on the saying.
1:25:29
Speaker 3: Ready?
1:25:29
Speaker 7: All right, here it is.
1:25:31
Speaker 20: Sometimes it's better to give and receive all at once.
1:25:35
Speaker 20: What I'm saying is that sometimes you just got to
1:25:36
Speaker 20: go out and treat yourself. And there's no better opportunity
1:25:40
Speaker 20: to do that than Macy's Friends and Family Sale. Because
1:25:42
Speaker 20: this is the event where the brands that rarely go
1:25:45
Speaker 20: on sale finally do go on sale.
1:25:48
Speaker 7: So you can grab all those things you've been eyeing.
1:25:50
Speaker 7: And the timing is right.
1:25:51
Speaker 20: You can hold off on the holiday shopping for a
1:25:53
Speaker 20: bit and the deals are great. We're talking 30% off
1:25:56
Speaker 20: on your favorite brands. And if you're worried that whatever
1:25:59
Speaker 20: you're wanting won't be on sale, well listen, that is
1:26:02
Speaker 20: nothing to be worried about at all. Because even if
1:26:04
Speaker 20: it isn't, it still pays to treat yourself. Because you
1:26:07
Speaker 20: can earn star money on all non-sale brands.
1:26:09
Speaker 7: That's right.
1:26:10
Speaker 4: $ 20 for every $ 100 spent.
1:26:13
Speaker 7: So don't think twice.
1:26:14
Speaker 16: You don't need an excuse.
1:26:15
Speaker 20: Just go to Macy's for the Friends and Family Sale
1:26:17
Speaker 20: happening from October 26th until November 3rd.
1:26:20
Speaker 7: Don't miss it.
1:26:21
Speaker 10: Morning, everybody.
1:26:22
Speaker 3: We are The Breakfast Club.
1:26:23
Speaker 6: Now, this is usually where we do the mix, but
1:26:24
Speaker 6: today we are live in Philly, so no Knicks needed.
1:26:27
Speaker 10: No, I said no Knicks. No Knicks needed.
1:26:28
Speaker 4: Oh, that's right. No Knicks needed.
1:26:31
Speaker 7: That's how Philly feel.
1:26:31
Speaker 4: Philly feel like no Knicks needed. No Knicks needed today.
1:26:35
Speaker 2: So tell the people what we doing, Lauren.
1:26:36
Speaker 20: So we are here in Philly. We are here in
1:26:39
Speaker 20: the name of HBCUs. It is HBCU One Philly HBCU Week.
1:26:43
Speaker 20: And last year, it was a game that happened, Del State,
1:26:46
Speaker 20: Norfolk State, and this year is a full week of
1:26:47
Speaker 20: events with Battle of the Bands and The Breakfast Club
1:26:50
Speaker 20: here live, so it's built out.
1:26:52
Speaker 7: All in support of HBCUs.
1:26:53
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:26:54
Speaker 6: And we got a special guest joining us right now.
1:26:56
Speaker 6: We have the mayor of Philadelphia. How are you feeling
1:26:59

1:27:07
Speaker 4: She said you geeked up.
1:27:08
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
1:27:08
Speaker 7: I can't even say what I thought about after this man.
1:27:11
Speaker 4: Look. What are you going to say? The next line?
1:27:13
Speaker 2: No, we're not going to say that.
1:27:14
Speaker 4: Look it for it.
1:27:15
Speaker 12: Eat up, right?
1:27:16
Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
1:27:17
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
1:27:18
Speaker 10: And also, we got my Hampton alumni, brother. We have
1:27:21
Speaker 10: Willie Singletary.
1:27:22
Speaker 2: Welcome, brother. Yes, sir.
1:27:23
Speaker 3: Good morning. Good morning.
1:27:23
Speaker 10: How are y'all feeling this morning?
1:27:24
Speaker 6: So tell us what's going on this week and why
1:27:26
Speaker 6: it was so special to get this week done and
1:27:28
Speaker 6: created because it's the second year.
1:27:29
Speaker 10: And last year was what?
1:27:31
Speaker 2: Just two days? Just one day last year, right?
1:27:32
Speaker 7: It was one day last year.
1:27:33
Speaker 5: And so super shout out first to the Philadelphia Eagles.
1:27:37
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Lurie, Don Smolenski, Frank G., had it not been
1:27:41
Speaker 5: for the Eagles saying, we welcome these HBCUs coming to
1:27:45
Speaker 5: play on the NFL field, we would not be here
1:27:48
Speaker 5: and went in their house today. So super shout out
1:27:50
Speaker 5: to them.
1:27:51
Speaker 9: But Dr.
1:27:51
Speaker 5: Allen and Delaware State, like, listen, he was the one
1:27:54
Speaker 5: who connected us. This had been a dream that I
1:27:57
Speaker 5: wanted to see happen since I was a member of
1:28:00
Speaker 5: city council. This was pre-COVID. COVID came, a lot of
1:28:03
Speaker 5: things shifted. But to come back here in Philadelphia today,
1:28:07
Speaker 5: To do what we established actually first in 1919. Our
1:28:11
Speaker 5: first classic was Howard University versus Lincoln University. And then
1:28:16
Speaker 5: there was this shift. I heard you mention this, like
1:28:19
Speaker 5: it became known as a Southern thing. And I'm like, wait,
1:28:22
Speaker 5: like we have the first and the first degree granny
1:28:24
Speaker 5: right here with our own Cheney. and my alma mater,
1:28:27
Speaker 5: Lincoln University.
1:28:28
Speaker 4: Oh, I thought that was Nick's Colors. Oh, you're going
1:28:31
Speaker 4: to get it.
1:28:31
Speaker 5: Don't you start nothing. No, these are Thurgood Marshall and
1:28:35
Speaker 5: Langston Hughes Colors.
1:28:36
Speaker 4: All right, all right.
1:28:37
Speaker 5: But to bring it back here, and then the whole thing.
1:28:40
Speaker 5: and the pride and the dignity, different world is back
1:28:43
Speaker 5: this year. People are learning that they need to handle
1:28:46
Speaker 5: us a little differently, and we are choices, right? We
1:28:49
Speaker 5: are not just an option, right? But people are making
1:28:52
Speaker 5: a decision to attend HBCUs. But we wanted the whole culture, right, that,
1:28:57
Speaker 5: you know, being young, gifted, and black, knowing that the
1:29:01
Speaker 5: education is important, being put on the path to self-sufficiency.
1:29:04
Speaker 5: I'm a teach-me-how-to-fish kind of girl, first-generation college graduate in
1:29:08
Speaker 5: my family. But we were told that we didn't have
1:29:11
Speaker 5: to become anybody else, act like anybody else, be like
1:29:15
Speaker 5: anybody else, and that we had everything that we needed
1:29:18
Speaker 5: in order to succeed if we're willing to work for it.
1:29:20
Speaker 5: So to have 3,000 young people in Philadelphia to be
1:29:24
Speaker 5: able to interact with 55 colleges and universities from across
1:29:30
Speaker 5: the country here to see the Step Show, the Battle
1:29:34
Speaker 5: of the Bands. We had a choir competition in the neighborhood. Like,
1:29:39
Speaker 5: it's just been a big thing. And I'm not joshing
1:29:42
Speaker 5: when I say this. To have the Breakfast Club here,
1:29:44
Speaker 5: like this is a big deal for us. And this
1:29:46
Speaker 5: is next level, so we're grateful.
1:29:48
Speaker 4: We appreciate you guys for having us. Mayor Parker, you've
1:29:50
Speaker 4: been mayor for what, almost three years now, right?
1:29:51
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
1:29:52
Speaker 1: What are you most proud of accomplishing and where do
1:29:54
Speaker 1: you think you've fallen short?
1:29:55
Speaker 5: That our agenda, I'm a Baldwin-esque kind of thinker. And
1:30:00
Speaker 5: I've been in politics a long time, so I can
1:30:02
Speaker 5: be a little jaded. I don't want you to simply
1:30:04
Speaker 5: listen to what I say. I want you to watch
1:30:06
Speaker 5: what I do. So my commitment was to make Philadelphia
1:30:09
Speaker 5: the safest, cleanest, greenest big city in the nation. with
1:30:12
Speaker 5: economic opportunity for all, and then to have tangible results
1:30:16
Speaker 5: that people could see, touch, and feel. Public safety, of course,
1:30:19
Speaker 5: 60-year low with homicides and violent crime. City is definitely
1:30:25
Speaker 5: cleaner and greener. Like, if you wanted to piss the
1:30:27
Speaker 5: mayor off, let me hear you call my city Philadelphia,
1:30:30
Speaker 5: and I would hate it, right? And so we're eliminating
1:30:34
Speaker 5: that moniker, increasing the number of days of trash pickup,
1:30:37
Speaker 5: and we're Hiring people to clean commercial quarters, so that's working.
1:30:41
Speaker 5: But right now, I'm laser focused on economic mobility. And
1:30:45
Speaker 5: I'll affirm that I'm a teach-me-how-to-fish kind of girl and
1:30:48
Speaker 5: what HBCUs meant to me because, you know, Langston Hughes
1:30:52
Speaker 5: was a Lincoln grad, has a poem called Mother to Son.
1:30:54
Speaker 5: And there's one line you all may remember. Life for
1:30:56
Speaker 5: me ain't been no crystal stair. Well, at an HBCU,
1:30:59
Speaker 5: that was true. They said, yeah, but so what?
1:31:02
Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
1:31:02
Speaker 5: And so when you grow up, I'm proud of the
1:31:05
Speaker 5: humble beginnings raised by my grandparents, lost my mother to
1:31:09
Speaker 5: 11 biological father not in my life. My family said,
1:31:12
Speaker 5: my community said, the little league said, public schools said,
1:31:16
Speaker 5: so what? And so being able to have economic mobility opportunities,
1:31:22
Speaker 5: workforce development, people earning a living wage, getting health care,
1:31:26
Speaker 5: retirement security. That's where we need to push and move
1:31:30
Speaker 5: forward more. So that's what we're focused on now.
1:31:32
Speaker 1: When it comes to the reductions in the murders and
1:31:34
Speaker 1: the shootings, what do you think is responsible for that decline?
1:31:38
Speaker 5: One, you have definitely seen a national decline. But here
1:31:41
Speaker 5: in the city of Philadelphia, I talk about a comprehensive
1:31:44
Speaker 5: strategy that we have called the PIE. It's Prevention, Intervention,
1:31:48
Speaker 5: and Enforcement. And it starts with grassroots community-based organizations who
1:31:53
Speaker 5: are the trusted messengers and on the ground, connecting people,
1:31:57
Speaker 5: particularly young people, to resources that they might not necessarily
1:32:02
Speaker 5: be receiving at home. I mean, nothing's more frustrating than
1:32:04
Speaker 5: hearing people say, well, you know, parental responsibility, it is
1:32:08
Speaker 5: very important. But I want you to remember that all
1:32:10
Speaker 5: of our kids are not growing up, you know, in
1:32:12
Speaker 5: a leave it to beaver kind of like environment and
1:32:15
Speaker 5: doing a huckstable kind of like environment. So what about them?
1:32:18
Speaker 5: So plugging them into little leagues like I was a
1:32:21
Speaker 5: part of. I ran track for the Oak Lane, for
1:32:24
Speaker 5: the Philadelphia Flames, cheerleader for the Oak Lane, Wildcats. I
1:32:27
Speaker 5: didn't understand when I was growing up that the Little
1:32:30
Speaker 5: League was anti-violence, an anti-violence strategy, but in essence it was.
1:32:35
Speaker 5: So we support those organizations, but it's workforce development. Not
1:32:40
Speaker 5: training where you're going to amass lots of debt and
1:32:42
Speaker 5: people expect you to be trained for a year and
1:32:44
Speaker 5: after you spent all your money gone in debt with
1:32:48
Speaker 5: these loans, you don't even have a guaranteed job. So
1:32:52
Speaker 5: We created something called CCME. That's our City College for
1:32:55
Speaker 5: Municipal Employment. We have vacancies in city government. How about
1:33:00
Speaker 5: we train you to be our next generation of city
1:33:03
Speaker 5: workers and then to train you for industries that are
1:33:06
Speaker 5: growing and thriving here? So you asked me, safe, clean,
1:33:09
Speaker 5: and green, like very clear where we are. Right now,
1:33:13
Speaker 5: going forward, everything is laser focused on economic mobility. And
1:33:17
Speaker 5: that's what this represents to me. When you grow up
1:33:21
Speaker 5: on public assistance, and I affirm this publicly, somebody said,
1:33:24
Speaker 5: did your grandmother have a credit card? I said, mommy
1:33:26
Speaker 5: sent me to the supermarket with colored money and books.
1:33:29
Speaker 5: Purple 20s, green 10s, and brown dollars. But where we started...
1:33:34
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be where we end up. And that's
1:33:37
Speaker 5: why I show in other young people, these amazing young people,
1:33:41
Speaker 5: they know that, you know, no matter what life is
1:33:43
Speaker 5: like for me right now, if I'm willing to put
1:33:46
Speaker 5: in the work, we can make this, we can make
1:33:48
Speaker 5: this possible.
1:33:49
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:33:49
Speaker 11: That's what Da Vinci was trying to say. Girl, that's
1:33:52
Speaker 11: the way he should.
1:33:53
Speaker 8: Have put it like that.
1:33:54
Speaker 6: You're approaching a 2027 election. And what's one promise that
1:33:58
Speaker 6: you made that you haven't been.
1:33:59
Speaker 2: Able to succeed with yet?
1:34:02
Speaker 10: And what's your promise?
1:34:03
Speaker 2: I should say, the way that you hopefully will get
1:34:06
Speaker 2: this done.
1:34:07
Speaker 5: Overall. So, one, again, I have to go back to
1:34:11
Speaker 5: that economic mobility. We need more public-private partnerships here in
1:34:15
Speaker 5: the city of Philadelphia. So where you are right now,
1:34:18
Speaker 5: I want you to know, you are actually in the
1:34:21
Speaker 5: anchor of Philadelphia's future economic growth. This is called Lower South.
1:34:26
Speaker 5: Our port is here. Our Hillco, Bellwether District is here.
1:34:32
Speaker 5: Drink Pack is here. We just secured our third Fortune 500.
1:34:37
Speaker 5: Huge shout-out to Burlington for bringing those 2,000 jobs. That's
1:34:40
Speaker 5: our third Fortune 500 company. We have Comcast, Aramark, and
1:34:44
Speaker 5: now Burlington. I need to focus on how do you
1:34:48
Speaker 5: connect people to self-sufficiency. And so what does that mean
1:34:51
Speaker 5: for me? Housing and home ownership. You know, how do
1:34:56
Speaker 5: you put people on the path to home ownership? You
1:34:58
Speaker 5: have to help them build their credit and create products
1:35:02
Speaker 5: that will give them the ability to meet the underwriting
1:35:04
Speaker 5: criteria so they can get approved for a mortgage. So
1:35:07
Speaker 5: what did we do? A plan, $ 2 billion plan to
1:35:10
Speaker 5: create and preserve 30,000 units of housing to build new,
1:35:14
Speaker 5: but guess what? Preserve existing. Philadelphia's, I'm not sure about
1:35:18
Speaker 5: other cities, but what, 760,000 housing units, guess what? About 70%
1:35:25
Speaker 5: of those, they're row houses.
1:35:28
Speaker 6: So you're launching, they said, a city-owned, I guess, mortgage
1:35:31
Speaker 6: company that's supposed to help people get into their first home.
1:35:35
Speaker 2: Homework.
1:35:35
Speaker 10: A little bit. So talk about that a little bit
1:35:38
Speaker 10: and how that's going to help people.
1:35:39
Speaker 5: So we're partnering with the banking industry. It's called the
1:35:43
Speaker 5: One Philly Mortgage Program. And when we talk about buildings,
1:35:47
Speaker 5: you know, supply... production that is important but my argument
1:35:51
Speaker 5: is we've had programs where we've done that but the
1:35:54
Speaker 5: people we wanted to become homeowners they didn't get the jobs.
1:35:58
Speaker 5: I can't be alright with city workers working in sanitation
1:36:02
Speaker 5: and streets department. We want teachers and we're hemorrhaging and
1:36:05
Speaker 5: nurses and firefighters and paramedics and they can't afford to
1:36:09
Speaker 5: own a house in the city of Philadelphia. So, you know,
1:36:12
Speaker 5: if I talked about it, I would be what I
1:36:14
Speaker 5: call an expert AOPs. There's a lot of these out there.
1:36:16
Speaker 5: These are expert articulators of problems. People want me to
1:36:20
Speaker 5: have a solution. So my solution is industry. Let us
1:36:23
Speaker 5: assume the risk of You take the risk of loaning
1:36:26
Speaker 5: to a person that has less than perfect credit. Let's
1:36:28
Speaker 5: say you have 620 score. We have a loan loss
1:36:32
Speaker 5: reserve fund, and Massachusetts has already successfully done this program
1:36:36
Speaker 5: as a state. You lend, and to insure no default bank,
1:36:41
Speaker 5: you can't lose because the city of Philadelphia has a
1:36:43
Speaker 5: $ 25 million pot that will insure that you won't lose,
1:36:49
Speaker 5: and no PMI, and none of the predatory. You all
1:36:51
Speaker 5: remember what happened in OE when predatory linden ravaged particularly
1:36:56
Speaker 5: black and brown communities, but no balloon payments, no adjustable rates,
1:37:01
Speaker 5: interest rates. We're talking about fixed rates. We're going to
1:37:04
Speaker 5: help you buy down the interest rates. closing costs and
1:37:07
Speaker 5: down payment assistance. So imagine this. If I'm trying to
1:37:11
Speaker 5: make Philadelphia competitive, guess where I'm recruiting? Full disclosure. I'm
1:37:15
Speaker 5: going to institutions of higher learning. And I want to
1:37:18
Speaker 5: be able to say, you can go to another city,
1:37:20
Speaker 5: but if you come to Philly, we can get you
1:37:22
Speaker 5: help with a mortgage so you can own a house.
1:37:25
Speaker 9: I'm trying to compete.
1:37:26
Speaker 5: I'm trying to compete with other regions. So police, I'm hemorrhaging. Firefighters,
1:37:31
Speaker 5: I'm hemorrhaging. Nurses, teachers, you choose Philly. And we're really
1:37:35
Speaker 5: going to make you at home if you come here. So, again, self-sufficiency.
1:37:39
Speaker 5: I want to provide as much assistance as possible to people.
1:37:42
Speaker 5: Kelvin Jeremiah, Public Housing, our Public Housing Authority, they have
1:37:46
Speaker 5: a plan for 20,000 units for deeply affordable housing. And
1:37:50
Speaker 5: then to try to transition people who live in public
1:37:53
Speaker 5: housing because the goal is for them to ultimately own.
1:37:57
Speaker 5: So Kelvin's doing that on one side. We have our
1:38:00
Speaker 5: 30,000-unit plan on our side. So, again, that's putting people
1:38:04
Speaker 5: on the path to self-sufficiency so they're not constantly leaning
1:38:08
Speaker 5: in their lives on someone else to take care of them.
1:38:11
Speaker 1: So why hasn't all of that institutional wealth translated into
1:38:14
Speaker 1: prosperity for working class people in Philadelphia now? Because you've
1:38:16
Speaker 1: got the sports franchises, you've got these corporations.
1:38:19
Speaker 4: Why hasn't it, you know, translated the wealth?
1:38:21
Speaker 5: I would argue because we haven't been intentional in connecting
1:38:25
Speaker 5: resources to programs like the one I just described. Let
1:38:29
Speaker 5: me just be real clear. I didn't get a large
1:38:32
Speaker 5: round of applause when I talked about the One Philly
1:38:34
Speaker 5: Mortgage Plan.
1:38:35
Speaker 4: Why?
1:38:35
Speaker 5: Because there were a constituency that said all of those
1:38:39
Speaker 5: dollars should only be spent on public housing, deeply affordable housing.
1:38:45
Speaker 5: I said, but you know, that's failed policies and those
1:38:48
Speaker 5: strategies right now, they've basically eroded housing. The working class
1:38:53
Speaker 5: in the city. You know, again, I grew up with
1:38:56
Speaker 5: my grandparents receiving public assistance, but they own the house.
1:38:59
Speaker 5: They own the bricks. They start Manning, South Carolina, Ackermack County, Virginia,
1:39:04
Speaker 5: to North Philly, 12th and Poplar. Uptown, the saying is
1:39:08
Speaker 5: in the family, they moved on Uptown like the Jeffersons.
1:39:11
Speaker 5: And we owned our row house, you know, plastic on
1:39:14
Speaker 5: the living room furniture. I joke about that a bit,
1:39:17
Speaker 5: but they were proud of what they had. We need
1:39:19
Speaker 5: more of that.
1:39:19
Speaker 7: Mayor, I have a question.
1:39:20
Speaker 18: Yes.
1:39:21
Speaker 3: Can I?
1:39:21
Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am. Let's wrap it and then come back.
1:39:23
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:39:23
Speaker 19: All right.
1:39:24
Speaker 10: But we can't. We got to say about Netflix.
1:39:26
Speaker 32: Yeah.
1:39:27
Speaker 4: Said about Netflix.
1:39:28
Speaker 3: Well, go ahead. Ask your question.
1:39:29
Speaker 20: So with everything that you're seeing, right, where does the
1:39:31
Speaker 20: disconnect come in with some of the affordable housing? Because
1:39:33
Speaker 20: I saw, like, you know, there's residents in southwest Philly
1:39:37
Speaker 20: that are urging you guys to help them because people
1:39:39
Speaker 20: are losing their homes right now as these credits expire.
1:39:42
Speaker 20: Why is it such a disconnect if there's so much
1:39:44
Speaker 20: good stuff also happening at the same time?
1:39:45
Speaker 7: Like, how does that happen?
1:39:47
Speaker 5: Well, I would argue because, you know, it's easy to
1:39:49
Speaker 5: do a 30-second. Now, I'm not talking about the advocates.
1:39:53
Speaker 5: I want to talk about the electeds that are powering
1:39:55
Speaker 5: the movement. I can't stop people from attempting to use
1:40:00
Speaker 5: a substantive policy issue and turn it into politics. I've
1:40:04
Speaker 5: got to come up with a solution. Those 925 units
1:40:08
Speaker 5: that you are referencing, they are not all expiring at
1:40:12
Speaker 5: the same time. What they don't tell you and they
1:40:15
Speaker 5: don't want you to know because their goal is ultimately
1:40:18
Speaker 5: the politics, right? There's a mayoral election coming up next.
1:40:22
Speaker 5: Next year's if I decide to run or when I
1:40:25
Speaker 5: decide if I'm I am I'll potentially have opposition So
1:40:28
Speaker 5: they're looking for ways to mount a campaign. I can't
1:40:31
Speaker 5: focus on that I'm Aaron now and my job is
1:40:34
Speaker 5: to come up with solutions And so I have a
1:40:38
Speaker 5: team of people the best subject matter experts that Philadelphia's
1:40:41
Speaker 5: ever had we're working on the plan with the private
1:40:44
Speaker 5: sector and to address those 925 units, but I won't
1:40:48
Speaker 5: dance to somebody else's tune. They won't bully me, and
1:40:51
Speaker 5: we're going to do the work the way I do it. Values-based, data-
1:40:54
Speaker 5: and research-driven, and that's how we come up with solutions.
1:40:58
Speaker 2: Well, Mayor, we appreciate you for joining us.
1:41:00
Speaker 6: Before we continue on, I just want to send a
1:41:03
Speaker 6: very special happy birthday to our producer, Eddie, who is
1:41:07
Speaker 6: from Philly.
1:41:07
Speaker 4: So, Eddie, where did Eddie go? Where did Eddie go?
1:41:13
Speaker 4: Where did Eddie go? Eddie had to go get Cab
1:41:15
Speaker 4: from Taste.
1:41:16
Speaker 1: Looped Cab from Taste cheesesteaks.
1:41:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, he went to go get Cab real quick. Oh,
1:41:20
Speaker 4: so he getting his food.
1:41:21
Speaker 5: Yes.
1:41:21
Speaker 3: Oh, that's cool.
1:41:22
Speaker 1: Kevin's coming in with some cheese steaks right now from
1:41:25
Speaker 1: Taste Philly Cheese Steak.
1:41:26
Speaker 10: Oh, so Eddie went in the back.
1:41:26
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Eddie.
1:41:27
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Taste Cheese Steak Bar right here in Philadelphia.
1:41:30
Speaker 7: And it's a good choice.
1:41:31
Speaker 8: What was the name of the people just now?
1:41:33
Speaker 20: They were part of the West Philly High School Band.
1:41:35
Speaker 20: They just killed it.
1:41:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:41:38
Speaker 7: So the band has dancers.
1:41:39

Speaker 4: Yes, I do have a positive note, man. Hold on,
1:42:55
Speaker 4: let me pull it up.
1:42:55
Speaker 1: Yes, not everyone will value your presence the way you
1:42:57
Speaker 1: value theirs. Sometimes stepping back reveals whether a connection was
1:43:01
Speaker 1: mutual or whether you were the only one keeping it alive.
1:43:03
Speaker 1: But remember, someone's reaction to your absence doesn't define your worth.
1:43:07
Speaker 1: Your value remains the same even when others fail to
1:43:10
Speaker 1: recognize it. So always remember, if your absence doesn't affect them,
1:43:13
Speaker 1: then your presence probably never matters.
1:43:15
Speaker 4: Have a great day. Breakfast Club, bitches!
1:43:17
Speaker 2: We all finished or y'all done?
1:43:18
