  Speaker 1: like a rhythm, you know what I mean? So we're

  Speaker 1: like a band. You know, one band, one sound. So
• 0:42

  Speaker 1: I ask God to guide my words and my heart
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is truly filled with gratitude for life. So I hope
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you feel that way this morning as well. OK, I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: don't care what's going on in your world. If God
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: still has you here, you are here for a reason.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So thank God and figure out what that reason may be.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Drop on the clues bombs for God, man. OK, and

• 1:38
  Speaker 1: little while ago. I know they're looking at him over
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: there like, that's a real yellow man. Okay, he's never
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: seen a real yellow man until Envy stepped foot in China,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but he's there safely. John Cena will be joining us

  Speaker 1: Not to mention, man, if you're a comic book head
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like myself, you want to know what's going on with
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Peacemaker season three. You know, we had Daniel Brooks here
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. She said it's not happening.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to John Cena about it. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Tiana Paris plays Monica Rambeau in all the Marvel movies.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And the last time we seen her, she was in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the post credit scene that introduced the X-Men and we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: haven't seen nothing since.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So we need to talk to.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Her about that as well. But yeah, Let's get the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: show cracking. Mimi Brown is up next with Front Page News.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Let's get into some belly gain, Cushington, and 21 Savage.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. It's the world's most dangerous one
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to show the Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Just Hilarious. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: go by the name of Charlemagne Tha God. Laura LaRosa
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: will be here shortly as well. But it's time for
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Front Page News with Tamisha Brown from Howard University.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mimi.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Charlemagne.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: largest injury law firm. So we start this morning with
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: President Trump's latest response to the soaring diesel prices. But
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: the fuel industry, they are already warning that it may
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: not make a difference. So President Trump is temporarily cutting
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: a federal diesel tax for truckers. with the hope that
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: cheaper fuel will eventually bring down the cost of moving
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: goods across the country and therefore affect everyone. But normally,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: you know, truckers, they pay about 24 cents a gallon
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: on federal tax, but Trump is now allowing them to
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: use dyed diesel, the tax-free fuel that is normally reserved
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: for farming and for construction equipment. Now, Governor Greg Abbott,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: he made a similar move last week, and now Trump
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: is taking it nationwide. But some truckers say... They are
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: not sure how much this will actually help.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Let's listen.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: For somebody like me, it's not really going to change
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: anything because where can I take a tractor trailer and
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: get off of a diesel? Well, it's not like your
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: mainline truck stops are going to start supplying off-road diesel, right?
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: So for a business like mine or really any over-the-road
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: trucking company, I don't think it's going to make a
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: huge implication.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. Like, where the hell did
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: they get that from for their trucks? And how does
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that impact their trucks? Like, I would think that, you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if it's used for tractor trailers, it could have a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: negative effect on their actual trucks.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, I don't know. I'm not a trucker.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: The truckers would have to answer that question.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That's a very good question, and that trucker is saying, listen,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: we're not even going to find a place to pull
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: up and put that in our truck in the first place.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Diesel is averaging about $ 6. 31 a gallon. Now, back in February,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: it was $ 3. 30 a gallon. But the administration is hoping
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: lowering these costs will lower the price on groceries, clothes,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: and other.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Goods that Americans buy.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: So, again, the fuel industry, though, is warning truck stops
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: against selling dyed diesel. Several major industry groups say they
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: don't expect most major diesel retailers who even carry this
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: so uh we'll have to see how this one plays out.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: You know how much money truckers have lost mimi like
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: do you know how many truckers have told me that
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: they have parked their trucks because they couldn't afford gas
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: like always remember people will forget what you said they'll
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: forget what you did but they'll never forget how you
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: made uh how you made them feel and you know
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: yeah trump has made these truckers feel horrible.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah um some have gone from filling up i think
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: they said eight hundred dollars to like fourteen fifteen hundred
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: dollars That's crazy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: And President Trump, he was in Maryland yesterday to announce
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: one of the state's biggest private sale investments in more
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: than a decade.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: So there's a defense company.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: It's building a massive submarine manufacturing facility in Baltimore County.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: This is expected to create thousands of jobs.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: And Maryland Governor Wes Moore says his administration helped put
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: this deal together. But when it came down, Down to
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: announce it, Moore says the White House told him he
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: was not allowed to speak.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Let's listen.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: I will not be there later on today.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: This was a deal that we helped bring.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: This is going to be the largest private investment that
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: we have seen in over a decade inside of the
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: state of Maryland.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: It's bringing 3,100 jobs. We are very proud of the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: fact that we have been working with them for over
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a year to bring them on board.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: And we're excited about what it's going to mean to
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: the area. But if the president of the United States
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: wants to bring the circus into town and tell me
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: that I'm not allowed to speak the fact that we
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: were the ones that helped bring the deal, then I
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: will let the circus be conducted while I go back
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: to the work of.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: The people in my home. Wes should actually wear that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: as a badge of honor. Like, Wes should be happy
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He should be happy that, you know, they are blocking
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: him from speaking because that means that they're scared of him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: And this is not the first time they blocked him
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: from something, right? Like Trump said, it was something else
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: that they had blocked him from before as well earlier
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: this year.
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: What?
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I know they've had a.
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: No, it was like all the governors were coming to
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: do something and he wasn't.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: He wasn't.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: But he wasn't invited to. That's right.
• 6:44
  Speaker 11: And he was.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: You're right. That did happen.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Moore says his administration spent more than a year working
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: to bring this company to Maryland. But during his speech yesterday,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Trump highlighted his administration's role in the billions of dollars
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: in federal funding that's going to the project. Let's listen
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: to Trump's speech and how he took credit for this.
• 7:05
  Speaker 12: Today, we're officially launching the construction of the largest new
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: shipyard in the United States. This is since World War II.
• 7:13
  Speaker 12: There's been nothing like what we're doing today.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And it's big. This is going to be some big yard.
• 7:19
  Speaker 12: When I came into office for my second term, less
• 7:23
  Speaker 12: than two years ago, this national treasure was abandoned and
• 7:28
  Speaker 12: it was totally forgotten.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: But it's not forgotten any longer. Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: So the White House.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I don't even care.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: The White House says that more or they're accusing more
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: of trying to make the announcement about himself. And the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: White House said that he was still invited to attend
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: as a guest.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Just not speak.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: So I think I think.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: West did the right thing. You know, if he wanted
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to speak and they blocked him from speaking. And, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: when they ask him about it, he lets them know, hey,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: we're the ones who bought this, you know, to Maryland.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Like simple as that. Take credit for what you did.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You don't think that administration takes credit for the things
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that they do? That's the problem is they don't do anything.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: But then take the credit for exactly something else.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: And lastly, this morning, you know, we've been following the
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: journey of the USS Abraham Lincoln. And today, after an
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: unusually long deployment, the aircraft carrier is finally coming home.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: So the ship is scheduled to dock in San Diego
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: today after spending more than 280 days without.
• 8:30
  Speaker 13: A port call.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: While supporting U.S. military operations in the Middle East.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Now, you guys remember we've been talking about their difficult deployment.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Last month, the Navy revealed.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: That eight sailors on board had attempted suicide. They were
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: also concerned about food supplies, living conditions, and the mental
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: health of the sailors on board. Members of Congress, they've
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: been demanding answers about why the deployment was so long.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: But today, that ship is going to be docking in
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: San Diego, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: welcome the crew home. So sure, there will be lots
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: of new information that will come from, you know, once
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: they get home and they're able to get back on
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: the ground.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I know families have contacted me to tell me some
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: of the things that were going on.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: And so I'm sure more will come from the story
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: once they're finally, you know, back home.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: To where they live. They're on their way and they're
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: closest to home.

• 17:47
  Speaker 10: I had a swimming pool. I was like 21. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: was into a whole nother different lifestyle back then. But listen,
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: we need to set some wild rules on this. We
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: can't be calling the pretty brown round no bunkies, man.
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: We can't do this no more.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm telling you, if you from the low country,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that's just a way of life.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: That's just regular everyday slang.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: When I was in Charleston, I used to have a
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: segment when I used to do radio on Hot 98.9.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I used to say, you are babunky, babunky, babunky.
• 18:14
  Speaker 17: Well, look, that makes sense, though, but we can't use
• 18:18
  Speaker 17: it in intimate places, though.
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: You feel what I'm saying?
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: Like, listen, let's set some ground rules.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: You feel me?
• 18:23
  Speaker 20: Like, listen, if you got a lady, right, and you
• 18:27
  Speaker 20: call it the bookie, maybe you could call the bookie
• 18:29
  Speaker 20: on the cycle days when she got on those one underwear.
• 18:33
  Speaker 20: You know, every lady got those one underwear that she
• 18:35

• 18:36
  Speaker 10: Want to mess up the good underwear.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.

  Speaker 7: It could be a bookie there in them days.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: It can't be a boogie at the strip club, man.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: No, man.

  Speaker 2: I love a big boogie gal at the strip club.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Shake that boogie. Man, who was the artist?

  Speaker 1: There was an artist in Charleston one time had a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: song called Ooh Girl, Your Boogie Stink. Ooh, girl, your
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: boogie stink. Come out with that thing for me.
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: If the boogie stinks, then that's a good word for
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: it because boogie sounds like it stinks.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: Yes, like I don't want, yeah, that's crazy. I would
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: hate to have a clean butt and you calling it
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: a boogie. It sounds like it's supposed to stink.
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: Once a thong and a D-string get slipped on it,
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: it's no longer a bunkie, though. You know what I mean?
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I don't have no problem with the word bunkie.
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: No, because it rhymes with dookie, and I don't like it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: It just sounds like it stinks.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: No, it don't rhyme with dookie. It'd be bookie if
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it was dookie. It's bunkie with an N.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: Sound closer.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Sound closer to dookie.
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: You got to let the ladies have a vote on this.
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: Though, Sharla. Right.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Damn. That was so nasty.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: The ladies got to have a say.
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: I didn't know that was a spelling word.
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: I wasn't familiar with the word. I just know one
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: dude I knew growing up used to use it, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: he was kind of half slow.
• 19:46
  Speaker 21: So I didn't know nothing about the word.
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: Man.

  Speaker 5: a moment. to send some love to the family of
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Freddie Jackson. It was announced yesterday via his social media accounts.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: that he had passed away. There's no cause of death
• 21:17

• 21:19
  Speaker 5: you know, that he is no longer here. You guys
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: should know the Grammy-nominated artist, R & B legend, for
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: You Are My Lady.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not even talking to people that don't know Freddie Jackson.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: I have a little mix-up, you know, just to, you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: remind us and feel the love this morning.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: When I was younger, I thought Freddie Jackson and Luther
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Vandross was the same person.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: For real?
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I understand that, though.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: At least brothers and stuff.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: I understand it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: I didn't.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I didn't think that they were brothers, but I can...
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: I can understand the energy and the vibes. The similarity
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: in their music and everything. What it brings to the
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: household and what your aunties start doing.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: When the music drops. He was young too, man.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: But then the crazy part is he was young because
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: 70 is young to me, but then I thought he
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: was older.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: I thought he was.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: Older as well.
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: That's that soul. That's all that soul in that music.
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: Let's hear your mix. Yeah, let's take a listen to
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: some of the music.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Well, y'all ain't know nothing about this. Neither one of y'all.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: That was so crazy.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: A man ain't never turn that on for neither one
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: of y'all.
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: Aye.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Just tonight.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: Period.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: Your family don't stop.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Hit them jingles. Jess only hear that when her daddy
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: playing it DJing.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: No, my girl. Your mom, your aunts. My husband plays
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: You Are My Lady for me. Like, don't play with me.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: He has a black tie.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: You're not even playing with him.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Your husband liked the debauches.
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: He did too.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: He liked them too. Rest in peace, Freddie Jackson.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, rest in peace. That music is so full of.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: Love, man.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I thought Freddie Jackson was Dwayne Martin.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: Four of them.
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: So you look like Dwayne Martin.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: He might be. Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Peace.

  Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 to everybody that want to be in music, man.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: Yo but my daddy used to rap too.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Remember i know that and i don't want him to
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: buy and because of his rap i don't want.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: Him to be the judge okay no not no not
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: you bring a kid and now that ain't it yes
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: you got charlamagne you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 21: Gotta be honest with these kids you can use that
• 25:10
  Speaker 21: money for something it's a ten thousand dollar grant to
• 25:12
  Speaker 21: fund you know their their uh the rappers and other
• 25:15
  Speaker 21: creators so i i want to know what the other
• 25:17
  Speaker 21: creators are doing as well Yeah, and this.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Is the first time in nearly 20 years, according to NYC.gov,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: that the city will be doing something like this. Well,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: the city will increase the size of the city-funded grants.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it used to be five grand.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it went from five grand to $ 10, 000. I mean,
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I understand what you said, but I do think when
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: kids are dreaming, you got to kind of like at
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: least allow them to figure out that's not what they're
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: supposed to be doing.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: That is not true. Why not? Let me tell you something.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Didn't you rap? And you know what? I had an
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: OG in my life who said, you suck as a rapper.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: And don't do that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You need to figure something else out and he told
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: me what I was actually good at which at the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: time was radio who's my guy Dr.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Robert but it's not even just about rap that's.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Why in my first book I have a chapter called
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: F Your Dreams If It's Not Your Dream because a
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: lot of times we see things working for other people
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and we say to ourselves you know what I need
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to be doing that too that ain't what you should
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: be doing you just see it working for everybody else
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that's why everybody wanted to pick up a goddamn microphone
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: when you need to pick up a hammer you're damn.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Right you had to explore though to do that and
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: with this grant so it's a wide range of artists
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: that you mentioned so it includes filmmakers dancers writers painters
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: and more across the five boroughs. But if you're an
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: artist and you want to try these things out, rent
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: is expensive. These programs should do all this stuff. It's expensive.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: You got to try it. You had to put that
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: mixtape out there for your OG to tell you something.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: What's that $ 10, 000 going for? I don't know if that
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 is one of your pockets for rent. Who said that?
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Because it mentions, it says, while the cost of living
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: in the city has increased dramatically over the last two decades,
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: the grant funding available for artists has not. With today's announcements,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: artists will be able to apply for up to $ 10, 000
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: in grant funding each. double the previous amount. So they
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: mention the cost.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Of living themselves. What is that money going to be
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: used for once you get it?
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, because it'll be gone quick. You know, it's still
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: 10K and, you know, expensive living and everything like that.
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: You can't, like, pay your rent and chase your dream.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: All I'm saying is... We need more plumbers.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Absolutely. Yes.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: We need more people to install HVAC.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Electricians. All right? So that $ 10 can go to trade
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: school as well. Absolutely. So therefore, I need to hear
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: your boss.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Everybody don't need to be ripping it on any beat.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: Like everybody don't need to be doing that.
• 27:20

  Speaker 4: Okay, so Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: America's largest injury law firm.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: So, guys, we start this hour with a 23-year-old.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Woman accused of sneaking into her old high school and
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: pretending to be.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: A substitute teacher.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: For what?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Police say.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Amy Jones, she blended with students to get into Rufus
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: King High School.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: It's in Milwaukee.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: So the school happened to be short a substitute teacher
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: that day, and so Jones ended up filling the spot.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: A real teacher even helped her get into the classroom
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: and set up.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but students say the minute the teacher walked out,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: things took a turn.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: They say Jones started yelling and cursing, using racial slurs,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: separating students by race and gender. She allegedly made Asian
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: students sit together and told two white students they look
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: like future school shooters. Students say that she made sexual comments.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: She asked who was gay, who was still a virgin.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: And then she asked if anyone had weed or vape
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: and then referred to one kid as fat boy. Let's
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: listen to one of the children in the classroom.
• 29:06
  Speaker 24: They heard her saying like racial things they heard her
• 29:09
  Speaker 24: saying like inappropriate things like raise your hand if you're
• 29:12
  Speaker 24: if you've like had sex before and like you've lost
• 29:15
  Speaker 24: your virginity and she was like you're black like well
• 29:18
  Speaker 24: we know you like raise your put your hand down
• 29:20
  Speaker 24: because we know you've lost your virginity.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: What is the point oh my god of doing all
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: that and not recording it you know and not recording
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: it and uploading it for our viewing.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Pleasure as much as you need her ass beat okay
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I still want to see I know.
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: I thought this.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Was going to be.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: A whole different turnout. Mimi, I ain't going to hold you.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: I'm going to be in trouble. I know that's why,
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: because she was just trying to help. I thought, you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: and she used to go there. But obviously... No, it
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: gets better, guys.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: It gets better.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Students eventually, they reported her, school officials. They escorted her
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: out before she could. So she did two periods. So
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: they escorted her out before she could do a third
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: period class. And then detectives, they questioned her a few
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: days later, and she admitted she wasn't a teacher.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: She allegedly told them.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: That she went to the school because she was bored,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: she hated kids, and she just wanted to mess around.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: But you know why?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: That's also very dangerous and it shows how, you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: these schools have sloppy security measures because that could have
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: been somebody who just came in that classroom and wanted
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to do harm to those kids as well.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: How nobody could recognize that this woman was trespassing on
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: school grounds.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: So crazy.
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: And she stereotyped those kids, profiled those two white kids,
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: talking about, you know, you look like y'all going to
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: be school shooters and she could have came in and
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: shot the kids like anything, anything could have happened.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Well, she's now facing six felony charges, one for impersonating
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: a public employee and five for exposing.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Children to harmful material.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Now, if convicted on all six, she could face up
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: to 21 years in prison. She went before judge earlier
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: this week and her attorney told the court what happened
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: that day.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Let's listen to that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: This Jones manages bipolar disorder and was experiencing an acute
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: manic episode.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Caused by delayed home prescription delivery.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: So she was off her meds. So you're just scaring
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: me even more.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: So a person that was off their meds was able
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to get on a school campus and get in front
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: of all of these kids like that. That could have
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: been really, really bad. We could be reporting a whole
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: different type of story this morning.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Thank God we're not.
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: But the problem is her prescription was delayed.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the real problem, right? Like,
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: she couldn't get it. Like, why was it delayed? Yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: why was it delayed?
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Why was it delayed?
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, her attorney also said that she had voluntarily
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: checked herself into a psychiatric hospital right after that happened.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: And that's where police arrested her five days later.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: And she was released on a $ 5, 000 signature bond.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: And her next hearing, guys, is October 20th.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: And what kind of school was this? How old were
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: these kids?
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: This was a high school.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, they should have jumped out.
• 31:49
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: And then imagine the class, you know, the day after.
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: Imagine what the conversations are.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she picked the right school because there's some high schools.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Them kids was not going to play that with her.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Stop playing. Who you? And then you, yeah, you high
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: school and the agents actually went over there together. I
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: don't know if they knew.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: She told them. Ain't no way.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: She told them to move.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they did, but she said they
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: were grouping them by gender, by race, all the different
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: things that.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: She could think of, apparently.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: You said you would have did what that day? I
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: would have been a ninja that day. Don't even play.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: At some point, as a teenager.
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: In high schools, you can make decisions for yourself. You
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: know what I mean?
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: That's what I said.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: She picked the right school because there's some schools, them
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: high school kids would have jumped on her ass.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: All just fried her up. You trying to make jokes? Right.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he just did what she said.
• 32:40
  Speaker 16: That's horrible, man.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, man. And the funny part is, she wasn't
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: dealing with mental health issues.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, you know, she could have
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: just actually took in the proper steps to become a
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: real substitute teacher, but clearly she was off her match.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:52
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: And lastly, this morning, before we go, guys, the Tennessee
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: woman who survived that attempt to try to execute her
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: last week, she is now awake and talking. Her attorney
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: says 50 year old Krista Pike says she is remain
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: hospitalized this morning. Those two injections of the execution drug,
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: they failed to kill her. They say she said she
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: suffered significant injuries to her arms and could face a
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: long recovery. But her attorneys believe there may have been
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: a problem with the I.V. lines causing the drug to
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: go into her tissue instead of into her bloodstream. The
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: governor of Tennessee, he has paused all executions for the
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: rest of the year and ordered an independent investigation. Pike's attorneys,
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: they are expected to speak later today about this.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: This is why God knew not to make me a doctor.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Because if I was in that hospital, as soon as
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: she woke up by the toilet, you know you're dead.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: This is heaven.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Playing around.
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: Dummy. Crazy.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: This is actually just the limbo between heaven and hell
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Not the limbo.
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: Oh, man.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: She'd have thought she was dead as soon as she
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: woke up.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: Not this, the flight lounge. All right, y'all.
• 33:57

  Speaker 2: We got a special guest in.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: The building today.

  Speaker 8: Yes.

• 34:58
  Speaker 7: Welcome.

• 35:05
  Speaker 19: Amen.
• 35:05
  Speaker 23: Not just South Carolina, Hopkins.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: You from Columbia, right? I'm from Monk's Corner, South Carolina.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, Monk's Corner.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, born in Charleston, raised in Monk's Corner, but I
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: live in Columbia, too.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 35:20
  Speaker 23: I grew up listening to you on the radio.
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: Oh, really? Yes.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, legit. That makes sense.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: Holy shit.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Now let's talk about matchbox all right so explain what
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: matchbox is so.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Obviously people have an idea there's a lot of folks
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: that have an idea of.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: What the matchbox toys are of course matchbox cars the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: origins comes from the metallite.
• 35:54
  Speaker 22: It's basically the adaptation of the Mattel IP into a movie.
• 35:57
  Speaker 22: And it's a great thrill ride about a bunch of
• 36:00
  Speaker 22: friends who get stuck in a crazy scenario. And a
• 36:04
  Speaker 22: lot of the through line of the movie is nostalgia
• 36:07
  Speaker 22: because we lean into nostalgia in times of crisis, times
• 36:10
  Speaker 22: of the unknown. We think of a simpler time. We
• 36:12
  Speaker 22: think of, man, I used to listen to you as
• 36:13
  Speaker 22: a kid and this was what it meant to me.
• 36:16
  Speaker 22: So I love about the movie how Mattel uses the
• 36:20
  Speaker 22: Matchbox cars as nostalgia it's not like hey you put
• 36:24
  Speaker 22: a drop of water on a small car and it
• 36:25
  Speaker 22: becomes big like a magic it's really a story of
• 36:29
  Speaker 22: friends in some pretty crazy circumstances just trying to get by.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: And it's about when somebody comes from your past, they
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: come back into your life and completely disrupt who you are.
• 36:37
  Speaker 22: That's a great takeaway, too. Man, that's a great thing
• 36:41
  Speaker 22: about film. You can have more than one perspective. That's
• 36:44
  Speaker 22: a great takeaway as well.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Do any of y'all have people from your childhood who
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: can still bring out a version of you that doesn't
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: exist anywhere else?
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: My sisters, man. There's nobody that.
• 36:53
  Speaker 15: Trolls me harder than my sisters. You can see me
• 36:57
  Speaker 15: on the big screen and they're like... little chubby ass
• 36:59
  Speaker 15: kid in my life.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what was that?
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: How was that necessary? But nobody liked family, you know
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 37:07
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 15: And this movie has those themes also about... When we
• 37:11
  Speaker 15: all learn how to use our imagination, you know, as
• 37:13
  Speaker 15: you get more adult and you lose that sense of play,
• 37:16
  Speaker 15: I think it strikes to me at the heart of
• 37:18
  Speaker 15: what it was like, like growing up in Guatemala and
• 37:20
  Speaker 15: like dreaming about big things. And we have some of
• 37:23
  Speaker 15: the craziest action we've ever seen. I mean, this man
• 37:26
  Speaker 15: has a fear of heights and he's hanging from a helicopter,
• 37:28
  Speaker 15: jumping off ledges. I almost hurt myself like running to
• 37:32
  Speaker 15: the snack table, which is also dangerous.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 37:35
  Speaker 15: But I think you can come for the action, you
• 37:37
  Speaker 15: can come for the heart, or you can come for
• 37:38
  Speaker 15: the comedy.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: You do your own stuff, yeah? Normally, no. Oh. This one, yes.
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: They didn't have the budget on this one.
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: Hey, kid, you got to get out there.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: We're a little short.
• 37:48
  Speaker 22: No, our director, Sam Hargrave, his origin story is a
• 37:51
  Speaker 22: stunt performer, a stunt coordinator, second unit director, and now
• 37:54
  Speaker 22: a director. And he's been through it all. And he's
• 37:57
  Speaker 22: brought his whole crew with him along the way. So
• 37:59
  Speaker 22: he works with the best, most capable folks in the world.
• 38:02
  Speaker 22: And it's one of those things where the producers are like,
• 38:05
  Speaker 22: normally we don't do this. Sam would go plead his
• 38:07
  Speaker 22: case and be like, this is why it's safe. This
• 38:09
  Speaker 22: is what I expect John to do. These are my
• 38:10
  Speaker 22: wishlist things for John. And all those things I hated.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: It was really, really scary.
• 38:16
  Speaker 22: And I didn't, I did them. And it's not like
• 38:18
  Speaker 22: I conquered my fear. I was, I'm still very scared.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: So you're scared of heights.
• 38:23
  Speaker 22: Dude, like jumping off of a building, like side saddle,
• 38:27
  Speaker 22: pommel horsing a building and looking over and seeing there's
• 38:31
  Speaker 22: nine stories down in the concrete. And I got this
• 38:33
  Speaker 22: rope that I know holds like 3000 pounds stress and
• 38:37
  Speaker 22: a single carabiner. Hmm. To save my life. Like, it's
• 38:40
  Speaker 22: envisioning you're going to die. Like, that's not normal. Hanging
• 38:44
  Speaker 22: from a helicopter and, like, eight fingers between you and
• 38:47
  Speaker 22: the icy Danube, you know, hundreds of feet below, going
• 38:50
  Speaker 22: 65 miles an hour. Like, yo, this doesn't feel right. So, like,
• 38:54
  Speaker 22: I'm not going to be like, oh, I did it. No,
• 38:55
  Speaker 22: I didn't do anything.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: No, I was scared. The tough part was, like, making
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: it look smooth. Like, yo, I got this.
• 39:02
  Speaker 22: I'm f * * * ing my pants in the
• 39:03
  Speaker 22: middle of it. Like, I'm still scared of that. I'm
• 39:06
  Speaker 22: not thinking about it like it's the top rope. So
• 39:08
  Speaker 22: here's the thing. Like, I think that's where the fear
• 39:10
  Speaker 22: might originate. I've fallen from the top rope and that hurts.
• 39:14
  Speaker 22: So that's like, that's like five feet. And I've fallen
• 39:17
  Speaker 22: from like seven feet, like nine feet through a table.
• 39:20
  Speaker 22: And it's like, yo, I barely made it through that.
• 39:22
  Speaker 22: I think that's the origin of like, I know what
• 39:24
  Speaker 22: a fall from this is going to feel like, you know,
• 39:27
  Speaker 22: maybe that's it. I'm trying to figure out why I'm
• 39:29
  Speaker 22: so afraid of it. So I can try to move
• 39:30
  Speaker 22: past it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 14: But when does your wife come in and say, all right, John,
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: enough's enough.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Stop all this.
• 39:34
  Speaker 22: Well, we have open conversations about that. And she was
• 39:38
  Speaker 22: over overwhelmingly supportive of Sam Hargreave. Cause again, you come
• 39:42
  Speaker 22: with a bunch of data to say like, Hey, I
• 39:45
  Speaker 22: know it doesn't look like it's safe, but the math
• 39:48
  Speaker 22: is in your favor.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Honestly, my wife's.
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: An engineer, man.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: She's like, hey, the guy makes a great point.
• 39:55
  Speaker 22: Look at his resume. Look at his statistics. I think
• 39:58
  Speaker 22: he's not going to ask you. And we did have stuntmen.
• 40:00
  Speaker 22: I didn't do all the stunts. But in a normal movie,
• 40:03
  Speaker 22: I would do just the fight choreo. I'm in like 80%
• 40:07
  Speaker 22: of the stuff. And that's not normal. And it's not
• 40:11
  Speaker 22: that I don't want to do it. It's just not
• 40:12
  Speaker 22: normal for a movie for insurance purposes. And man, Sam's
• 40:16
  Speaker 22: moniker on life is I'm trying to push the envelope.
• 40:19
  Speaker 22: And that's aspirational for me and inspirational. And he kind
• 40:23
  Speaker 22: of struck a chord in me. And it's kind of
• 40:24
  Speaker 22: like one of those guys you want to be drawn
• 40:27
  Speaker 22: towards his gravity. I want to try to do right
• 40:28
  Speaker 22: by him, too. So he immediately, man, I don't want
• 40:32
  Speaker 22: to let this guy down either.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: So you want to work hard for somebody like that.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: You know, Tiana, what I like about you, I've seen
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you in so many different things, right?
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Like from WandaVision to the Marvels to the clone Tyrone,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: now Matchbox. Do you feel like Hollywood actually knows what
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: to do with you?
• 40:47
  Speaker 9: I have definitely felt like I have been able to
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: like stay under a radar where people don't actually know exactly.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: All that I can do.
• 40:56
  Speaker 23: And so I have no qualms with auditioning.
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: And so I think a lot of the things that
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: I have been able to get is because I'm not
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: afraid to go in a room and fight for it.
• 41:08
  Speaker 23: And that way I get to show that I can
• 41:11
  Speaker 23: do this.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: I can do that.
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: I can go from stage to film, to theater, all
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: of these things.
• 41:15
  Speaker 23: And, I'm not afraid to fight for it. So whether
• 41:18
  Speaker 23: they know what to do with it or not, I'm
• 41:20
  Speaker 23: willing to fight to show you that I can do
• 41:22
  Speaker 23: whatever it is that you put in front of me.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: So you don't feel like the industry is giving you
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: the role that has caused people to really see you?
• 41:28
  Speaker 23: I mean, I feel like I've.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: Done some really cool shit.
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: Like, I'm very proud of it. Thank you, Monica Rambeau.
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: They cloned Tyrone. I feel like I'm doing what I
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: want to do and the art that I want to
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: share and the stories I want to tell. It's not
• 41:47
  Speaker 9: my place whether people get it or not or what
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: they see for me. I'm very proud of what I've
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: been able to accomplish out here and the artists I've
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: been able to collaborate with.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: Girl, you killed, you killed your role in They Clones.
• 42:02
  Speaker 9: You carried the movie.
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 42:04
  Speaker 23: Now, that was a group project for sure.
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: Next to John Boye. Yeah, Jamie. That was crazy. You
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying? Thank you. For the women. Thank you.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: Take that down.
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Can I hype my girl up for a second? Yes,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: you can. Front row seats.
• 42:17
  Speaker 15: To watch T and to watch this cast do their thing.
• 42:21
  Speaker 15: You know, I'm still at that level, no matter how
• 42:23
  Speaker 15: much I work, that I'm so aware of how lucky
• 42:26
  Speaker 15: I am to do it. You know, when you're working
• 42:28
  Speaker 15: with somebody as alive as T is, you know, she's
• 42:31
  Speaker 15: just so loose with it, man. And that's something from
• 42:35
  Speaker 15: each one of these cast members that I wanted to
• 42:36
  Speaker 15: emulate something. But now that I'm focusing on Tiana... She
• 42:40
  Speaker 15: keeps it fresh every single take. And that's not something
• 42:43
  Speaker 15: you see usually.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: My Venmo is ArturoCastro.com.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I paid for that. Shout out. Bro, you a knuckle.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: You came here at 19 and you're killing it your
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: damn self.
• 42:54
  Speaker 15: Thank you very much. I thought that was a documentary, man.
• 42:56
  Speaker 15: I was just out there swinging stuff. And suddenly it's
• 43:00
  Speaker 15: like somebody had a camera.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I was like, whatever. This is my life. But you
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: know what's ironic? I'm an immigrant. And so every time
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I'm too loud. Shut up.
• 43:12
  Speaker 15: But immigration officers were a lot nicer to me crossing
• 43:16
  Speaker 15: the border after Narcos. than before and i'm like they're
• 43:21
  Speaker 15: like we don't need to check you bro come on
• 43:22
  Speaker 15: and i was like what a good ploy that would
• 43:25
  Speaker 15: be if i am actually narco but i played one
• 43:28
  Speaker 15: so nobody would ever bother me you know what i'm
• 43:30
  Speaker 15: saying so mr escobar if you're listening.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: When it comes to hollywood ontario have you ever had
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: to fight against like somebody's limited imagination of what you can.
• 43:38
  Speaker 15: Do my friend my first role On television was a
• 43:41
  Speaker 15: character called Dishwasher Juan on The Good Wife.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: Wait, your first TV show was The Good Wife?
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. That was mine, too. Oh, were you Dishwasher, too?
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. That's crazy. But my only question about that is.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Like, how many.
• 43:57
  Speaker 15: Juans, were there in that episode that you have to
• 43:59
  Speaker 15: specify what.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: I was doing? There's Dr.
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: Juan.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: So maybe it was this Dr.
• 44:05
  Speaker 13: Juan.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: And they're just like, I don't know, put a J
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: on it. You know what I mean?
• 44:08
  Speaker 15: So yeah, but it has, you know, we've had so
• 44:10
  Speaker 15: many pioneers, John Leguizamo, like Oscar, everybody's been doing such
• 44:13
  Speaker 15: great work that we get to do three-dimensional roles now.
• 44:16
  Speaker 15: But yeah, of course, at first you just have, like
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: Hollywood's like, I don't know what to do with you
• 44:21
  Speaker 15: unless Antonio Banderas is shooting at you.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, I'll do it.
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: That is interesting, because all three of y'all, I'm sure,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: have been stereotyped in different ways, right? Like, John, you
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: the wrestler, you know, big, muscular guy. They don't know
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: what you can do in front of the camera. Arturo,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: you're the funny Latino guy. Tiana, of course, you're a
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: black woman. Wait, what?
• 44:40
  Speaker 15: What do you say to your Columbia?
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Which stereotype do you think has been the hardest to
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: get over? Goodness, that's a complex question. We're humans.
• 44:53
  Speaker 22: We use snap judgment. We use first impressions. That's why
• 44:56
  Speaker 22: that term, you know, first impressions are so important. Uh,
• 45:00
  Speaker 22: we use our senses and our awareness and our wisdom
• 45:02
  Speaker 22: to formulate an opinion about somebody. I always, I'm not
• 45:06
  Speaker 22: afraid to lean into that. If somebody needs me to
• 45:08
  Speaker 22: be the big muscular guy, cause that's what they see.
• 45:10
  Speaker 22: And that's all they feel that I am. I'm just
• 45:12
  Speaker 22: going to do the best job I can with that.
• 45:14
  Speaker 22: And if someone's bold enough to place a bet on
• 45:17
  Speaker 22: me to be like, man, I think you could be this.
• 45:19
  Speaker 22: I'm going to try to make, make good on their investment.
• 45:21
  Speaker 22: And I think that's all, that's all we can do.
• 45:23
  Speaker 22: It's just like one, one step at a time, you know, one,
• 45:27
  Speaker 22: one piece of work at a time. And I believe
• 45:29
  Speaker 22: if you just do good work, that's the way you
• 45:31
  Speaker 22: open up, uh, doors and you open up a more
• 45:35
  Speaker 22: of yourself and more of your skillset. You know what
• 45:37
  Speaker 22: I'm saying? That's again, that's just my perspective, but that's
• 45:40
  Speaker 22: kind of what's worked for me.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 45:42
  Speaker 14: Do you want to take it out?
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Do you want other roles outside of the typical roles?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: They see John Cena in like, would you want to
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: do a Forrest Gump type of role? That's like, I
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: don't see John, but John killed it. Would you want
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: to do something? Man?
• 45:52
  Speaker 22: I'm, truly just leaning into gratitude at this point if
• 45:57
  Speaker 22: the powers that be who write the checks who I
• 45:59
  Speaker 22: have no control over sat down and be like hey
• 46:01
  Speaker 22: pal we're gonna let you create but you're always gonna
• 46:04
  Speaker 22: have to wave your hand in.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Front of your face.
• 46:07
  Speaker 22: I'd be like alright let's do it let's do it
• 46:10
  Speaker 22: and the next time and the last time like I'll
• 46:12
  Speaker 22: do it every night like the first time and I
• 46:15
  Speaker 22: did that for 23 years playing the hit every night
• 46:17
  Speaker 22: like it's the first time and never once was it
• 46:20
  Speaker 22: a burden it was always a blessing so Yes, of course,
• 46:25
  Speaker 22: you know, we have skills. We want to show the world,
• 46:27
  Speaker 22: but it's all about what the audience wants to see.
• 46:28
  Speaker 22: So it's like, yo, you might want to do this,
• 46:31
  Speaker 22: but we'd like to see you do this. We feel
• 46:33
  Speaker 22: comfortable with that. And there's moments where you can push
• 46:36
  Speaker 22: outside that comfort zone for people like, whoa, I didn't
• 46:38
  Speaker 22: know you had that. And if I get to play
• 46:41
  Speaker 22: dress up for a living by being what you see
• 46:43
  Speaker 22: is what you get. Gosh, man, I like playing dress
• 46:46
  Speaker 22: up for a living.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? So I'm okay with it.
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: And is that extra fee for that?
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Like, do you say, I want this, but if you
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: want this, you want the hand. I'll be there, but
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: if you want that hand. I want to ask Tiana
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: and Arturo that question. What stereotype you had to overcome?
• 47:03
  Speaker 23: A stereotype?
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know, guys.
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: I don't, I mean, like you said, I exist as
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: a black woman, so I guess that's just always there,
• 47:12
  Speaker 9: but I don't look at that as a burden. like
• 47:15
  Speaker 9: a huge part of what I've wanted to do with
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: my work and with the opportunities God has blessed me.
• 47:22
  Speaker 23: With is to tell the stories across the diaspora.
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: And show that we have so many different levels and
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: layers to us and experiences and that that can look
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: any different way. And I, I, again, I do the
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: work that I want to do that. I am blessed
• 47:40
  Speaker 9: to be able to do. Like I, I, I, it's
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: very much like I can't control what y'all see or
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: what y'all experience. I can only focus on what I'm
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: trying to do and the stories I'm trying to tell.
• 47:50
  Speaker 23: And that has worked for me. Um, minding my business,
• 47:54
  Speaker 23: staying in my lane.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: Like, you know what I mean?
• 47:56
  Speaker 9: Like do it, keeping my head down and doing the
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: work that that's it. I cannot control.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: What other people think. It's very freeing watching you in
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: your career because you do, it doesn't seem like you
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: kind of just float through the things that you want
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: to do, not aimlessly, but.
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: Like, It's just a little bit like it feels unbothered.
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: You know what I mean? I would like to say
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: it feels intentional and very focused in a way that
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: I cannot control. And I really it doesn't matter what
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: is happening around me and what others think. I want
• 48:28
  Speaker 9: to work with this group of artists, this group of
• 48:30
  Speaker 9: artists to tell this story. And that's what I'm a
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: focus on. And I put my all into it. And
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: I've been like that since. the very beginning of like,
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: what are the stories I want to, and they're not
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: always going to be shiny and polished and pretty and funny.
• 48:42
  Speaker 23: Like this is really fun.
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: This is a group of people who have heart and
• 48:46
  Speaker 9: have gone through some crazy things together, but there's also
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: stories I've told where, you know, they are down and
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: out and those stories are just as important to tell.
• 48:54
  Speaker 23: And yeah, I just try to be really intentional about it.
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: Um, When we all first heard that they were making
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: a movie inspired by Matchbox Cars, what was the first reaction?
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: How the f * * * are they going to
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: do this? Is it an animation? They never had nobody
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: inside of them.
• 49:09
  Speaker 22: Not only that, I'm a fan. I don't have many
• 49:14
  Speaker 22: childhood memories, but some of the vivid ones are like,
• 49:17
  Speaker 22: I can still see the worn paint. There was a
• 49:19
  Speaker 22: journalist who brought a red fire truck he's like this
• 49:21
  Speaker 22: is this is from my mom's house and the paint
• 49:23
  Speaker 22: was worn and i grabbed the car and it like
• 49:25
  Speaker 22: took me to a another universe because like my oldsmobile
• 49:29
  Speaker 22: 442 was this red paint but it's now steel you
• 49:31
  Speaker 22: see it this is actually proof of concept the matchbox
• 49:34
  Speaker 22: paint wears off this was my car so immediately he
• 49:37
  Speaker 22: hands me this car and because of the way the
• 49:39
  Speaker 22: paint was I got transported back to this time and
• 49:43
  Speaker 22: the reason why I was like how the f * * *
• 49:44
  Speaker 22: are they going to do that because I was like
• 49:45
  Speaker 22: how are they going to take what's in here and
• 49:47
  Speaker 22: put it on screen and that's why I was really
• 49:50
  Speaker 22: proud about like the car is a unit of nostalgia
• 49:54
  Speaker 22: that way if you have a different memory if you
• 49:56
  Speaker 22: have a different memory it doesn't It doesn't poo-poo anyone's
• 49:59
  Speaker 22: memories because it captures the feeling of like, yo, this
• 50:03
  Speaker 22: brought me back to when I was a kid.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: That's what the.
• 50:05
  Speaker 22: Cars are doing, bringing you back to that time when
• 50:08
  Speaker 22: it's like, dude, those were great.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Times, weren't they? Why don't you have any childhood memories?
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 50:14
  Speaker 22: Honestly, my wife is like a steel trap. She will
• 50:17
  Speaker 22: rattle off things that happened to her like three, four, five.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't.
• 50:21
  Speaker 22: No, my timeline starts at 11, 12. For real, and
• 50:27
  Speaker 22: I don't know why.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't have a lot of photos
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: as a kid. As a baby, I did.
• 50:33
  Speaker 22: They couldn't see you in them? They couldn't. A little foreshadowing, maybe.
• 50:38
  Speaker 22: Bringing back that hand, man.
• 50:41
  Speaker 16: I don't know.
• 50:42
  Speaker 22: For some reason, that's kind of where my timeline starts.
• 50:44
  Speaker 22: That's a good question. I've tried to figure it out,
• 50:46
  Speaker 22: but I don't know why I can't remember anything from
• 50:48
  Speaker 22: that span.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: This movie is very, very deep for you, too, because
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: that's a part of what you do remember.
• 50:54
  Speaker 22: Well, just those IPs, right? It's most famous in the
• 50:59
  Speaker 22: comic book genre. Are they going to do the comic
• 51:01
  Speaker 22: book justice? There are fans out there that you have
• 51:04
  Speaker 22: to please. It's not just making a great film. It's
• 51:07
  Speaker 22: like when you use.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: An IP, you better please the fan base that got
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: you to the dance.
• 51:12
  Speaker 22: And that's when I was like, well, this could be bad.
• 51:16
  Speaker 22: And it ended up being like, oh, okay. know about Matchbox,
• 51:19
  Speaker 22: and our director was great enough to put, like, super
• 51:22
  Speaker 22: Easter eggs in there, if you're a collector. And if
• 51:24
  Speaker 22: you're not, and if you know nothing, it's a great film.
• 51:27
  Speaker 22: I thought they rode that balance well. Speaking of comics,
• 51:29
  Speaker 22: do you know what happened to Monica Rambeau after Marvels?
• 51:31
  Speaker 22: Or are you just waiting for Kevin Feige to tell
• 51:33
  Speaker 22: you about the rest of us?
• 51:35
  Speaker 16: The latter.
• 51:35
  Speaker 22: The latter.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: She's talking about the latter.
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: The latter.
• 51:42
  Speaker 23: I mean, I saw what y'all saw.
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: I experienced what y'all experienced.
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: She ended up in a Different timeline. She said she's
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: going to keep them intentional.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: You got Duels Day. You got Secret Wars. You got
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: X-Men films coming up. They haven't told you nothing.
• 51:56
  Speaker 23: They have not told me nothing.
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: I can confidently say they have not told me anything.
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: Just believe her. It's okay. It's okay to believe her.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: She don't know.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: That's the truth. That's the truth. I want to congratulate
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: you too, John, because Coyote vs.
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: Acme.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes. It was... basically done, right? And that was
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: made over a hundred million worldwide. People love it. Do
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: you feel vindicated?
• 52:25
  Speaker 22: So that's an interesting perspective. I was never in search
• 52:28
  Speaker 22: for vindication. As a creative, you do work for audiences,
• 52:33
  Speaker 22: but also I don't, I didn't bankroll the movie.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Not my loss.
• 52:40
  Speaker 22: You, you, you, you know, we, we spent half a
• 52:42
  Speaker 22: year around the world. My body getting thrashed and thrown
• 52:46
  Speaker 22: around and And I was paid for my services. And
• 52:48
  Speaker 22: we had a great time. I made friends. For this
• 52:52
  Speaker 22: work not to see the light of day, God, that's disheartening.
• 52:55
  Speaker 22: But also, not my choice. I didn't bankroll it. If
• 52:59
  Speaker 22: I had bankrolled Coyote Acme and chosen to shelve it, well,
• 53:02
  Speaker 22: maybe I got to look within and ask myself why.
• 53:04
  Speaker 22: But I was paid for my services. I made great friends.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: And Will and BJ and Dave Green, the director, and
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks on the cast.
• 53:13
  Speaker 22: I got better as a performer. So the drawback was, oh, man,
• 53:17
  Speaker 22: this movie that everybody seems to like isn't going to
• 53:19
  Speaker 22: see the light of day. That's disheartening. But I wasn't
• 53:22
  Speaker 22: searching for an I told you so or vindication at all.
• 53:26
  Speaker 22: The fact that the fans weren't BSing about.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Like, put this movie out and we'll go see it.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: They have gone to see it in droves.
• 53:34
  Speaker 22: And that's cool because something creative entertained their day and
• 53:37
  Speaker 22: got them to lighten their backpack a little bit. So
• 53:40
  Speaker 22: I understand why there might be that sentiment of, like,
• 53:42
  Speaker 22: we did this. Why aren't you putting it out? Mm-hmm.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: The simple answer is because we own it and we
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: can do what we want with it.
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 53:48
  Speaker 22: You know, like everybody was paid. Everybody was even paid
• 53:51
  Speaker 22: because we shelved it.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, guys.
• 53:55
  Speaker 22: It's kind of our deal. So they take the heat
• 53:58
  Speaker 22: and they're the ones accountable for their choice. But, you know,
• 54:01
  Speaker 22: we got the movie out and people actually like it,
• 54:03
  Speaker 22: which is– Absolutely. I think it's a very cool success story.
• 54:06
  Speaker 22: I mean, somebody got it wrong, clearly, though. And, man–
• 54:09
  Speaker 22: create the creative business is just that like it's only
• 54:12
  Speaker 22: people's perspective of like i think the audience will love
• 54:15
  Speaker 22: this it's just a guess i'm just trying to guess
• 54:18
  Speaker 22: you know so yes someone got it wrong and it's
• 54:21
  Speaker 22: a it's a nice success story absolutely yeah tiana what's
• 54:26
  Speaker 22: up with.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: You have you had any conversations with kevin about monica's future.
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: Um no actually i can confidently say that no i
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: told you earlier nobody caught me you confidently know what
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: she's talking about i have not spoken.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: To you i just like these moments when they pop
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: up in the movies later then everybody goes back to
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: these interviews and say damn she played that.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: Good I'm not asking.
• 54:47
  Speaker 23: I'm here as Tiana telling you.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking to nobody. How far out do you
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: get that?
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: You don't get like a heads up or like, because
• 54:58
  Speaker 9: normally they'll put you on hold for certain stuff sometimes too.
• 55:01
  Speaker 23: That is how movies normally look.
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: That is.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: I've heard that too.
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: If you're on hold for anything, then you might know something.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I told y'all. Well, she's here today.
• 55:12
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 55:15
  Speaker 23: Holding my breath till October 9th.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 55:19
  Speaker 23: Matchbox.
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: Matchbox.
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: I'm going to just assume you're going to be in G.I.
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: Joe, John.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Because then you had an appearance in.
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: Barbie, too.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Am I making that up?
• 55:30
  Speaker 11: No, no.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: I was a merman in Barbie. Matchbox.
• 55:33
  Speaker 22: I love Danny McBride. I know he's writing that. I
• 55:35
  Speaker 22: know Bradley just got cast in that. Dude, Dan, if
• 55:37
  Speaker 22: you're listening. I've worked with Jody Hill, directed Peacemaker. I'm trying,
• 55:42
  Speaker 22: I'm trying right now. I don't have control over the decisions,
• 55:46
  Speaker 22: but love the property. I love working with those guys, man.
• 55:50
  Speaker 22: I'd just walk across the screen with a broom on
• 55:51
  Speaker 22: that one.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: It would only make sense. There's a need for a sidekick,
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 55:57
  Speaker 22: I got the hand, and the hand could make it
• 55:59
  Speaker 22: come to me.
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: We had my South Carolina sister, Danielle Brooks.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: She was up there, and she said that Peacemaker 3,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: she said there's no Peacemaker 3.
• 56:09
  Speaker 14: No, there isn't.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: That's a certainty. They can't be doing this stuff. They
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: just sent you in a whole other universe, just like
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: they did Tiana, and just left you there.
• 56:16
  Speaker 22: You know that conversation we just had a few seconds
• 56:18
  Speaker 22: ago about, like, I do the work and that's the thing.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: I don't own any of it.
• 56:22
  Speaker 22: It's beyond my control. Sometimes folks are like, hey, this
• 56:26
  Speaker 22: isn't where we're going. As far as that goes, James
• 56:29
  Speaker 22: wrote Peacemaker when he was done with Disney. He got
• 56:33
  Speaker 22: to direct the Suicide Squad when he was done with Guardians.
• 56:36
  Speaker 22: And then COVID happened and he got bored. I got
• 56:38
  Speaker 22: killed off in the Suicide Squad. There's a James Gunn rule.
• 56:41
  Speaker 22: It's like, if I kill somebody off, I never bring
• 56:43
  Speaker 22: them back.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: He calls me up in COVID. He's like, hey, you
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: want to do Peacemaker? I'm like, Peacemaker's dead.
• 56:48
  Speaker 14: What are you doing?
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: He's like, no, no, I figured it out. Don't worry
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 56:51
  Speaker 22: We're good. So, you know, now we're off to the
• 56:53
  Speaker 22: races with this unknown character that some people like and
• 56:56
  Speaker 22: they want to see more of. And then James gets
• 56:59
  Speaker 22: the head job at DC. And instead of having to
• 57:03
  Speaker 22: create toys that he can orchestrate play with, now he
• 57:05
  Speaker 22: has the responsibility for some high-end IP that.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: You have to get out. You have to serve the
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: fan base.
• 57:12
  Speaker 19: Mm-hmm.
• 57:13
  Speaker 22: Superman got to figure out the direction of Batman. And
• 57:16
  Speaker 22: then there's the Joker. And then there's Wonder Woman. And
• 57:18
  Speaker 22: then there's Supergirl. There's so many lanterns. There's so many
• 57:22
  Speaker 22: entities that he has to, not gets to, you have
• 57:26
  Speaker 22: to get that out to the fan base. And I
• 57:29
  Speaker 22: know I was like a utility guy getting that ninth
• 57:32
  Speaker 22: spot in the lineup. And I'm sitting on a bench
• 57:35
  Speaker 22: for a bit. But I'd like to believe that we
• 57:38
  Speaker 22: did good work and, you know, Hopefully, crossing my fingers,
• 57:42
  Speaker 22: we'll figure something out.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: But, like, I get it.
• 57:45
  Speaker 14: I get it.
• 57:46
  Speaker 22: I get that there's more important stories to be told
• 57:48
  Speaker 22: than the one we've told. And I also get that
• 57:51
  Speaker 22: there's an audience around the world who likes what we did.
• 57:53
  Speaker 22: I just hope that that's enough to get us another shot.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Matchbox comes out this Friday. One more question. Tiana, have
• 58:00

  Speaker 9: On things you ask the questions that need to be
• 58:56
  Speaker 9: answered on the breakfast club little brown girls look at
• 58:59
  Speaker 9: you and go i want.
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: To be like you ll cool baby talk to me Alrighty, y'all.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: So Jay-Z and Rihanna, they're business relationship artists. I don't
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: even know. We can consider Jay-Z and Roc Nation management.
• 59:11
  Speaker 19: No, right?
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, management. It's crazy.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: That's a family, but yeah, that's our business partners.
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right. Well, that can be or will be taking
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: a new phase if all goes well, because there's a
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: deal that they've been working on. We talked about this
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: a while ago when it was rumored that this may
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: be happening. Jay-Z's Marcy... Marcy Penn Capital Partners is set
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: to acquire a sizable ownership. People are pointing at maybe
• 59:38
  Speaker 5: even 50% ownership stake in Rihanna's Fenty Beauty brand. So
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: you guys know that Fenty Beauty, or maybe you don't,
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: Fenty Beauty was in partnership with LVMH. They partnered with
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: Rihanna back in 2016 to help develop Fenty Beauty. And
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: it launched in 2017 alongside a couple other brands. And
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: it became an instant success. Now it's reportedly grossing $ 100
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: million in sales just within its first 100 days on
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: the market. And it has done so much since then.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: But yeah, Jay-Z, the update here is the fact that
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: that 50% stake that LVMH would have held, Jay-Z's Marcy
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: Penn partners, they're closer to finalizing terms of an agreement,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: which is the details haven't been released yet. And they'll
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: own that 50%, which would mean that they would be
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: 50-50 in that deal, which would be amazing.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Makes sense to me. Yeah.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: And you know how people have that capitalism conversation when
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: it comes to like rich black people. This is an
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: example of capitalism working because it's what you want.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not having conversations with people about business when they
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: don't have none of their own. They just wouldn't understand.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah. You always say that.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: That is true.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Clearly that relationship, that relationship, management relationship, business relationship, Rihanna
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: and Roc Nation has been very fruitful.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly. Fenty is everywhere. I mean, it's good. I
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: swear by Fenty. The lip glosses, I use her powders. Yes,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: it's amazing.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Do you know your number?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: I know I use, it's like a banana powder. I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: don't use her foundation. Yeah, I don't use the foundation.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: I use Estee Lauder for foundation, but I use. Everything else?
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: Mine changes depending on the season. It's like winter and
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: summer is different for me. But I use her bronzers.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 5: I use all her lip glosses. I'm wearing Ruby Woo
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: right now, which is her. Remember, she did that with MAC.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: But she has her own version of it with the
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: M50 as well, too.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, she does?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 13: Yeah, she has.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: She did like the lip with MAC. See, I don't
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: wear red lip, but I didn't know that she actually
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: introduced the defense. See, that's dope. It's not called the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: same thing, but it's the same vibe, though.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 7: Fire.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: You know your number?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like a mad powder 470, maybe 480, 490.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Depending on the season. I love when you.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: Just make us out of jazz, you know what I mean?
• 1:01:38

  Speaker 2: It's going to be more like punk, but less, even
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: more R & B.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 7: But it is real.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: It's Mary J. I'm going R & B. I'm going real.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 25: Most of the songs are sexual though. It's about like
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 25: two or three heartbreak songs. Most of them is just
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 25: like fun times. And I like to live it out though.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 25: Like right now I'm like super in love with my girl.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 25: So you just have so many of them moments and
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 25: it's just, I think I ain't making that many heartbreak
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 25: songs in an R & B.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Album because we just like having fun right now.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 25: I feel like if it was bad, I probably would
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 25: make more like heartbreak songs, but I try to just
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 25: be real.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not mad at that. I like when artists experiment.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: But he got to change his name. Absolutely. No R &
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: B songs. No love making songs from no young thug.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 16: By young thug.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: It's wild. You can call yourself Jeffrey.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 14: I'll go to that.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: He had that other moniker where it was just six.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: You remember when he used to call himself Six?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: No, I do not remember that. It was a part
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: of his rock star phases. Okay.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: But I would love for him to just be Jeffrey.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: Throw in that joint by Jeffrey. That love making joint
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: by Jeffrey. And you can't say things like Mariah. I mean,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: he didn't say Mariah Carey.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: Mariah J.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 11: Blige.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: He can't.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: He can sit like Mariah the Scientist. You know what
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: I'm saying? I don't think he can. He don't need
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 5: to compare himself to anybody in the space because when
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 5: Thug does it, it's going to be melodic like what
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: he's been, but it's not going to be. Wait, it's
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: not Mary. But that's his girl, though. No, it's definitely
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: not going to be Mary. But Mary don't.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Make love-making music either, though. Mary makes mood music, but
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: it's not love-making.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's still R & B. It's still, you
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: know what I mean? He can't. But nowadays, I feel
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: like R & B has so many different... vibes to
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: it because you have so many melodic rappers who are
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: leaning into R & B and that's kind of what
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: I would think his R & B would sound like
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: because he's done that before he.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: Should start with his girl though I think that would
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 9: be dope like they should they should start off together.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: Oh I see what you're saying yeah like do duets together.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah and then he break off you know what I
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 9: mean I think he should go that route you know
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: cause he already I.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 7: Get what you're saying.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: That would make sense.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: But was Tariq there? No, he was not there. It
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: was Gianni Paolo, Brayden, and Chris D. Lofton, who plays Jannar. Oh,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: my God!
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that was there.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: And they actually were sitting and talking to Young Thug
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: after Young Thug came off the stage with some of
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: his artists.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but they were just excited. They were at the concert,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: and Thug was like, yeah, I'm down to talk.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: That's the podcast? The crew has it, yep. That is
• 1:04:40

  Speaker 1: things first, rest in peace to her 40-year-old husband, Bradley Freeman.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Dawn killed him. Okay? Yes, this story is horrible and tragic.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: A man is dead. A woman is facing a murder charge.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: A family has been destroyed and it's all Don's fault.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. Allegedly.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: For anyone out there who loves to say women are crazy,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: here's a story that will reinforce that thought.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Don's definition of a teachable moment is, but.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: This ain't it. Let's go to NBC6 News for the report, please.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 18: This is 44-year-old Dawn Freeman of Adams Township. Now, police
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 18: say that she admitted to shooting her husband, 40-year-old Bradley Freeman,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 18: in their home yesterday after she wanted to, quote, show
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 18: him a lesson for leaving his gun out in the open.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: This was the scene.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 18: Along the 300 block of Mine 42 Road last night,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 18: where Freeman is accused of pulling the trigger of her
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 18: husband's 9mm handgun during the argument. Freeman told police that
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 18: Bradley continually left the gun lying out in the open
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 18: in their home. and she reportedly begged him countless times
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 18: to put it away. Police say Freeman alleges she was
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 18: concerned for the safety of her two children and was
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 18: constantly worried that something bad would happen.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 7: They say that just before.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 18: 4.30 yesterday afternoon, Freeman noticed her husband's gun sitting on
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 18: the coffee table of the living room. Police say she
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 18: allegedly told Bradley to move the gun to a safe
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 18: location and he refused. Freeman told police that this made
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 18: her angry, so she allegedly picked up the gun and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 18: to show him a lesson, pointed it at him and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 18: pulled the trigger, shooting his chest.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: What?
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Don, I wonder if you're sitting in jail thinking that
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: what you allegedly, well, not even allegedly, what you did
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: completely contradicts the point you were trying to make.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: I truly believe a lot of us don't think about
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: our thinking.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: We just believe ourselves when we think it. Okay.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: Now, Don, I agree with you in regard to gun safety.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: You can't be leaving your firearms unsecured in your house.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: You got children.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: So you were concerned one of the kids could get
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: their hands on the gun and somebody could.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Accidentally, okay, keyword accidentally, get hurt. That is a fair
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: and legitimate concern.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: If you have children in your house, you shouldn't have
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: your firearms laying around unsecured where they can get them. Okay,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: my brothers, you have to treat your guns the way
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: your woman treats her sex toys.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Don't think about what I just said too deep. Just
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: say exactly, okay? But not having your firearms laying around
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: unsecured is basic gun safety.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: But Don, even if you thought Bradley didn't understand how
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: serious the situation was, why did your brain tell you
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: to pick up the same gun you was arguing with
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: him about, point it at his chest, pull the trigger,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: and kill him?
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: I need you to understand.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Why my brain is having trouble processing this, all right?
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: You were trying to teach this man that an accident
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: could happen.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: An accident.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: So you intentionally picked up the gun intentionally pointed it
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: at him, and intentionally pulled the trigger. Now, I tell
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: y'all every day, I am not the highest grade of
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest Avenger,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: but I know that's not how you demonstrate an accident, okay?
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: You can't manufacture an accident, all right?
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know what your intention was, because if you
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: were trying to teach him a lesson, last I checked,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: a person gotta be alive to receive said lesson, okay?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Not to mention, you were trying to tell him that
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: an accident could happen. What you did wasn't an accident, okay?
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you meant to kill your husband.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: You said you didn't, but according to police, picking up
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: the gun, pointing it at him, and pulling the trigger,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: those were deliberate acts.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: And I agree, okay? And that's the contradiction.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: If you're trying to prove to somebody that an accident
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: could happen, that somebody could accidentally get hurt because a
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: gun isn't secured, you don't prove it by doing the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: exact thing you're telling everybody else not to do, okay?
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Your original point was right, Don. The gun should have
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: been secured, okay? You kept warning Bradley that somebody could
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: get hurt. You got children in the house. Something bad
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: could happen. but Don Bradley didn't need a warning about
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: the gun. He needed a warning about you.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yes. All right.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Bradley probably needed all those warnings about the gun, but
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: how come nobody warned Bradley about Don's crazy ass.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Watch out for Don because the gun clearly wasn't the
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: only danger in that house.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Don, you spent all this time telling Bradley, you need
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: to put that gun away before somebody gets hurt.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Turns out Bradley didn't.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: You know, should have been saying to himself, apparently I
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: need to put this gun away from your nut ass, okay?
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the lesson from today's donkey.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Guns don't kill people. Crazy people with guns kill people,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: all right? The gun didn't pick itself up, okay? Don
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: had to pick it up. And that's exactly why gun
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: safety rules exist, because humans do get angry.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: We get emotional. We get impulsive. And then we make
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: terrible decisions like this one.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: OK, sometimes we are so busy identifying what's wrong with
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: somebody else that we don't recognize what's happening with ourselves.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: OK, evil will accuse you of what it's doing. All right.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Don spent all his time looking at Bradley saying, you
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: don't understand how dangerous you're being. Meanwhile, she didn't understand
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: how dangerous she could be. That's a hell of a
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: blind spot. OK, you can be completely right about somebody
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: else's behavior and still be completely wrong about your own.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: And the saddest part about this is the children.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: OK, this whole argument was supposedly about protecting them, making
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: sure they didn't get their hands on the firearm and
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: accidentally destroy somebody's life. Now, their father is dead and
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: their mother is facing a murder charge. and those kids'
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: lives could potentially be ruined forever. Oh, the trauma they're
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: going to have to deal with for the rest of
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: their lives, okay? The people, Don, you were supposedly trying
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: to protect are the ones who have to live with
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: the consequences. You spent all this time warning your husband
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: that the gun was dangerous. Nah, bae, the danger was you.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: Please give Don Freeman the biggest hee-haw. Matter of fact,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: let Remy Ma give Don Freeman the biggest hee-haw.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid motherfucker.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Are you dumb? Yes, she is. Yes, she is.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: Yo, I wish we didn't show her picture. Yo, because
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: this story is not funny at all.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 22: Why?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: Because she fat? Yo. She look like she come in sections.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 14: Like, yo.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Shorty look crazy.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: She look like she come in sections.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 7: Like, for real.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: You got to put it together.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 19: She do.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 7: Damn.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Somebody say thank you.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: Thank you for that donkey at a date, y'all.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: That's right. Now, we're moving along. Yesterday, we had Chris
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Rock up here, right?
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: Yes, we did.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: And it's this whole conversation.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: About Chris Rock and Tony Rock. And, you know, Tony
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: expressed that he would like to go on tour with
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: his brother, like an official tour. Like, you know, Tony
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: has opened up for Chris before at spot dates, but
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: he wants to go on an official tour with his brother.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: He said he wants to work with his brother in
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: some capacity. I don't know if he said film. I
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: think he specifically said tour.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. So the conversation that we're having, the
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: question was what?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 5: The question was, are you required to give your family opportunities.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: If you can?
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 5: Not just your children. Your family. We have Chris Rock
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: when he was here. We also have Tony Rock's original
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 5: audio talking about what he wanted.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Do we have time to play both or should we
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: do it when we come back? When we come back,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. Nepotism in regards to your siblings. Because,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: you know, people always talk about nepotism in regards to,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: you know, your children. But nepotism includes siblings, too. So
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 14: It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 7: With The Breakfast Club.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, Lauren LaRosa is
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: here as well. Envy's actually not here.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: He's in China.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 7: Yes, he is.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, he's in China doing something with the NBA. But
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: we're having a discussion this morning. It's based off the
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: conversation we had with Chris Rock yesterday. Now, this conversation
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: started with my.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Guy, Tony Rock. Tony Rock was on Naeem Lynn's podcast.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: I cannot remember the name of Naeem Lynn's podcast right
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: now off the top of my head. But he was
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: on with Naeem Lynn's podcast some weeks ago, and he
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: had this to say. Let's hear it.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 26: This and this and this and this, because I just
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 26: wanted to be with y'all. I cannot wait for the
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 26: day that he says, yo, let's go on tour. Not, hey,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 26: I'm on tour, come and do Brooklyn. I'm on tour,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 26: come and do Houston, because that was my second home. Yo,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 26: we're going out for 30 cities. I cannot wait. It
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 26: is a dream beyond a dream of mine. I am
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 26: putting all this work in With the hopes that one
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 26: day he'll just go, oh, he really doing it.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: That was Deep Meaningful Conversations with Naeem Lynn.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: That's what it's called?
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 5: DMC, Deep Meaningful Conversations with Naeem Lynn.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: Well, we had Chris Rock on yesterday talking about it,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: and he had this to say. When you hear Tony
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: say the things that he says, he loves you, he
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: supports you, he's not jealous of you, but he wishes
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: that you and him could do things together.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 16: I mean, maybe we'll do something together. I mean, dude,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 16: you ain't never going to get me to say anything
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 16: disparaging about my brother.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 16: But he's doing fine. It's not like a situation where
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 16: I'm like, well, I got this guy. No, he's doing great.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 16: And everybody, you know, Damon's not in a scary movie.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 21: It's not an issue.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's an issue.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 7: Tom Hanks has three kids that are actors.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 16: I said Denzel too.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 9: I literally only knew Chet.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 5: It's not like Tony doing bad.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: But he said it from a place of admiration, not resentment. Yeah,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: Tony's doing great.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: So the question, are you obligated to give family members opportunity?
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 5: I don't think you are.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 9: I think if you are in a position where you
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 9: can give them an opportunity and they deserve so, yes,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 9: because everybody doesn't have the mindset that you have.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Sometimes you.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 9: you put people in certain positions and they F it
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 9: up because they don't have that mindset. As you know,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 9: they don't work hard. Their work ethic may not be there. They,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 9: you know, a lot of people look for handouts, you
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 9: know what I'm saying? But then they don't know what
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 9: to do when they even receive a blessing like that.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 9: So, no, I don't think you're obligated to, but I
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 9: think if they deserve it and you are in a
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: position where you can, yes, do so. I think in
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 9: the situation of like Tony Rock and Chris Rock, though,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 9: I feel like why not do the tour with him?
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: He's funny. He's working. Younger, fresher. Yeah, it's like, why not? Like,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: you can. It seems like it would be just that
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 5: easy because you're Chris Rock. So, like, I don't know
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: if it's an obligation. Maybe that's not his thing. But
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I just feel like if you have
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 5: family members that are in line, right? Like, at least
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 5: in line enough where, like, they're doing enough on their own.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 5: Where if you did give them an opportunity, they wouldn't
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 5: take it for granted and they would run with it.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 7: For sure.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 22: Why not?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, he did say that, you know,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: they'll probably go on tour together. I mean, because I
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: agree with that. I mean, Kevin Hart takes the Plastic
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Cup boys with him.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 11: Everywhere.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Naeem Lynn and Spank and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: the rest of the gang.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: So if Chris Rock was out doing a tour, it
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: would make sense for Tony Rock to potentially be opening.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: Up for him. I agree with Jess.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: Like, you're not obligated to give family members opportunities, right?
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Just because they're family. But if you can open a
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: door for a qualified family member, do it. If they
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: are qualified and there is an opportunity for them, sure.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: And listen, Chris Rock and Tony Rock have two different
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: comedy styles. You understand what I'm saying? So Chris is
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: probably looking at that. I can't speak for him, but
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: I'm just saying they have two different comedy styles, right?
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: And And like you also said, it's not like Tony
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 9: Rock was coming off angry. It was coming from a
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 9: place of admiration, but you can tell he really does
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 9: want to do something tour wise with his brother.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: You know, so.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Because, yeah, to me, it's just all about, you know, qualifications,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: you know, is that person ready? You know, if you
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: can open up a door for that person in the
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: field that they're qualified to be in, hey, do it.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes putting somebody in a position they're unqualified for,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: it doesn't empower them at all. It actually exposes them
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: and will probably cause them to crash and burn.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: Now they're mad at you.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: Right, and then that's on your name. You know what
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: I mean? Now you're responsible for that.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones, right? Good morning, who's this?
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 19: Hello?
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: God damn. He's ready to go off on somebody in
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: his family.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: Who is this?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: This is Blue. This is Blue. Blue, are you obligated
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: to give family members opportunities?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 19: So I feel like we're the only people that do this. Like,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 19: I've worked with a lot of cultures over the years.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 19: The Italians, the Jewish, the Hispanics. For us, for some.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 11: Reason, we only think one at a time, one at
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 11: a time. Of course, you know, I don't get it.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 11: It's an issue I feel.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 19: Like amongst black people we have to have. That's the
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 19: conversation we're having. But I feel like that's an us issue.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: Only happens with us, man. But what's your answer?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 5: He's saying no.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, you should.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 19: Absolutely, you should.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, yes, you should be obligated.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me just.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 19: Absolutely.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: Let me play white devil's advocate for a minute.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 22: Oh, Lord.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. That's the problem.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 11: That's how it started.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Well, listen to me. You said, yes, you should.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: But I don't think you're obligated to because I think
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: that you should give your qualified... members of your family
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: opportunities because sometimes people want us to open doors that
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: they're not I'm.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 19: The only one that's gonna escape I don't care about nobody.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: Else Harriet Tubman had no problem shooting the people that
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: didn't that was holding her down what the hell are
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: you talking about right what the hell are you talking about.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 9: Couldn't keep their damn mouth shut and she wanted to
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 9: get get people out of there easy and some people
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 9: running their mouths some people just making too much noise
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 9: bang bang you gotta.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Go Harriet knew everybody couldn't go yeah Just like Noah
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: knew everybody couldn't get on the ark, sir. What are
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: you talking about?
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 7: Sorry.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: I was being facetious.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 19: Now, I'm just saying that it's, I think you should,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 19: I do think it's an obligation too. Culturally, I think
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 19: it's an obligation. I do.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's a qualification to open the door.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 11: I think it would solve a lot of issues that
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 11: we have.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 11: The hater issue, the envy issue, the jealousy issue.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but like I said, putting somebody in a position
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: they're not, they're unqualified for, it does not empower them.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: Well, no, no, no. Wait, wait.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 11: I'm not talking about that.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 19: I'm not saying unqualified.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 11: I'm not saying that.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 5: Well, that's how you got to live it.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: No, I don't agree.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 19: If you're unqualified, you should get, no, that's not what
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 19: I'm saying. Right.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: Because a qualified person, you can open the door for them.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: But some people want you to open the door and
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: then carry them through it. Exactly. That's two different things.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 5: Like, gosh.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back and we talk about it
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: some more. Are you obligated to give family members opportunities?
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: It's The Breakfast Club.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: It's topic time.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 21: Call 800-585-1051 to join us for the discussion with The
• 1:21:16

• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: morning show, The Breakfast Club.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, Lauren LaRosa is
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: here as well. And we're talking about Chris Rock, Tony Rock,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: the conversation that started on Naeem Lim's podcast.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: What's it called?
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: DMC, Deep Meaningful Conversations.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: Deep Meaningful Conversations. When Tony Rock said he would love
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: to go on tour with Chris Rock. Chris Rock was
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: up here yesterday. Can we play those clips again, Ray?
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: Let's play what Tony Rock said on Naeem Lynch podcast.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: This and this and this and this because I just
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: wanted to be with y'all. I cannot wait for the
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: day that he says, yo, let's go on tour. Not, hey,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: I'm on tour. Come and do Brooklyn.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: I'm on tour.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 26: Come and do Houston because that was my second home.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: Yo, we're going out. For 30 cities.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: I cannot wait. It is a dream beyond the dream
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: of mine.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 26: I am putting all this work in With the hopes
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 26: that one day he'll just go, oh, he really doing it.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 9: He just looks up to his brother, like, just in
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 9: that conversation. I can tell, like, he said that's a dream.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you something else Naeem said in there that
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: would be dope.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: He's like, have Jordan host it, Tony is the opener,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: and then Chris.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Because it's Chris Rock. He's going to sell out arenas
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: all over the world anyway. The Rock Boys. That would
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: be fire. That would be dope. This is what Chris
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: Rock had to say about that. Your brother, Tony.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: When you hear Tony say the things that he says,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: he loves you, he supports you, he's not jealous of you,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: but he wishes that you and him could do things together.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 16: I mean, maybe we'll do something together. I mean, dude,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 16: you ain't never going to get me to say anything
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 16: disparaging about my brother.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't. But he's doing fine.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 16: It's not like a situation where I'm like, well, I
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 16: got this guy. No, he's doing great.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: And everybody, you know.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 16: Damon's not in a scary movie.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's an issue. Tom Hanks has a.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: kids that are actors.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 5: But from the outside, wow. And from the outside looking
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 5: into it.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: And everybody does it like, damn it ain't enough. Yeah,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 16: Like a thing.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a... It's not like Tony doing bad. Yeah,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: Tony's doing... But he said it from a place of admiration,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: not resentment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tony's doing great. That's the
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: other point, too, though. Even Ice Cube made his son
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: audition to play him in the NWA movie.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 5: You're not just going to get it because you're my
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: son and you look just like me.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 5: I agree, but the qualifications got to be there. And
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 5: it's discipline and it's hard work. It's also teaching.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 9: You can't just walk through this door because I did this.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: You know what's crazy, though? Talking to Tony Robb and
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: just seeing how he is in real life, why did
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 5: Why is that narrative so big that he just don't
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 5: care about his brother? Like, he obviously cares about his family, his.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: Brother, his people. He has put Tony in things before.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 5: Everything else overshadows all that, though.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 9: I think because Chris, I mean, not Chris, Tony has
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 9: conversations like this where people outside looking in is just like, yo,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 9: it's easy just to take your brother on tour.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 5: Like, they just think it's just so easy. But like
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 5: he said, when he was up here, you just have
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: to be around. He lives here. I live there and
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: But I've given opportunities to family before and they didn't
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 9: do what they were supposed to do with it. Like
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 9: if anybody knows, like if you're an avid Jessalarius fan
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 9: from day one, you'll see I always try to put
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 9: like my cousins, my son's father, my, you know, My parents,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 9: not my mother, because she would never stop in front
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 9: of a camera. But just like certain people just don't
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 9: have that business. I've even created jobs for families, for
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 9: my family members, and ones that I didn't even need.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Positions that I didn't even need.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 5: And they just, they effed it up.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we probably taking the Tony thing out
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: of context because Tony never said that Chris never put
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: him in anything.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: He just said that he wants to actually do this tour.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: That's his dream.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: Tony played, what was the uncle name on Everybody Hates Chris?
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God. I forgot.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: I remember Tony played an uncle on Everybody Hates Chris.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 7: I can't remember the name.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 9: And he was in the cartoon version as well, the
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 9: animated version of Everybody Hates Chris as well. But I
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 9: was more so talking about the question that we had.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: Are you obligated to give family members opportunities?
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: The answer is no. Let's go to the phone. Good morning.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 7: Talking about the topic.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. Are you obligated to give family members opportunities?
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 16: No, no.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: Hell no. Okay. You want to expound? Yes.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 7: What's going on, Charlamagne?
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 5: What's going on, Jess?
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 10: How you doing, baby?
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 5: What's happening to my brother?
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: How are you? Man, watch out.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 10: What's going on?
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 11: Lauren, I see you on TV right now, girl.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 7: Hey, listen here. You want to say, man, I love y'all, man.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 11: Y'all doing a great job up there, man. Appreciate everything
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 11: y'all doing for the community, you know?
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 7: Love you, man.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: We appreciate you. Love you back, brother.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 7: My nephew. I'm the Unc.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 11: I was born in 1972, so I'm Big Unc.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 7: Big Unc.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: Big Unc.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 7: Y'all have a good day, man. And God bless you guys, man.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you, brother.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 13: Thank you.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, Solomon, one more thing.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 11: Can I get a trucker hat?
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: We got you. Send my guy, put him on hold,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: send him a Black Effect trucker hat, man.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 11: That's what's up.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 7: And Lauren, I know you got a dude now.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 11: But man, back in the day, when my nephew gave me.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: That name, you f * * * ing know. Oh,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: my goodness. That's not funny.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 5: Nothing about that, but that's who I was.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 7: I know, I know. You had to.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 10: I didn't have anything.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 5: I had myself and God. Now, what they had is
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: a whole different story.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 7: I was telling the truth.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: We're going to put you on hold. He's going to
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: get your address for the hat. Listen, this is the
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: moral of the story to me.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: You're not obligated to give family members opportunities just because
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: they're family. But if you can open a door for
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: a qualified person, do it. If they are qualified and
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for them.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: Okay. But I'm opening the door because you're qualified.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: And I want y'all to remember that opening the door
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: and carrying somebody through it. Those are two different things.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: Some of these folks want to get carried and they
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: think everybody around you just getting paid for no reason
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: when the reality is that's not how this works.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: Okay. So, you know, that's, that's my moral of the story.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 5: I think that's great.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: We got the latest with Lauren coming up? We do.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 5: We're going to get into Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 5: and a new project that they have coming up. And
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: Drake may still be boycotting the Grammys. And I'm going
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 5: to tell you guys why I think it's happening.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: We got all that and more when we come back
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: at The Breakfast Club.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.

• 1:29:11
  Speaker 14: The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
• 1:29:12

• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of everything.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 5: Well, it's the latest.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 14: On The Breakfast Club.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: So what's the meat? Top Dog Law.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, so.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: Three hour low. Well, third hour low.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know what that means.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: It's the third hour. You turn the top dog low
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: in the third hour.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 5: OK. All right. So there's a conversation right now about
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 5: Drake in the Grammys. Now, this is not a new conversation,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 5: but what's happening right now is there are reports that
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 5: and I tried to verify reports, but have heard nothing back.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 5: that Drake is going to sit out of submitting Habib D,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 5: Maid of Honor, and Iceman. Habib D. Remember he dropped
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 5: the three projects, Iceman, Habib D.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: And Maid of Honor?
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 5: Am I saying that right?
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: Make sure to give Habib D five stars when he
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: drops you off this morning, okay?
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 5: That is crazy.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 6: Oh!
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 5: Am I not saying it right? I don't know.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 7: Whatever.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: That's messed up.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 5: So y'all know Iceman was everywhere all summer. It was charting.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 5: It was doing all the things. But, you know, Drake
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 5: alludes to on the project on Make Them Know that
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 5: he's not going to submit it. He says this album,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 5: never submitting it. And, you know, famously back in twenty
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 5: twenty five, Not Like Us was awarded five Grammys during
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: the Grammys in twenty twenty five. And that was also
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 5: mentioned in the lawsuit that Drake has. But I said
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 5: that this is not new for Drake because Drake has
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 5: done this before where he's made it obvious that he's
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 5: not going to submit. He didn't submit more life in 2018.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 5: He withdrew his submission of certified lover boy in 2022.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 5: So I don't know what his thing is with the Grammys,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 5: but I don't know. I thought Iceman would have been good.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 5: Good contender.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, especially all the hype around the album that he created.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 10: You know what I mean?
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a weak year. So this is probably
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: his best opportunity to win. Yeah. Like what else came
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: out this year?
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 5: Dang, Charlamagne. Honestly, this year. J.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: Cole came out earlier to fall off.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 5: Dang, I was going to say the clips, but that
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 5: was last year. No, that was last year. It just
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 5: still feels like it just got here.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: I know, right?
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: Because I still be bumping into my cousin.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot of good rap that's out,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: but not like mainstream.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, nothing that really hit where it's like it sticks
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 5: with you.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 19: T.I.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 5: T.I. did release this year.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, T.I.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: Album.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, T.I.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: Album did come out. Except Rocky came out in January.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 5: I thought you were just being mean.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: I think that was January.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 5: Being mean, but I understand what you're saying, but I
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: Don Toliver.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. He's going to be in that conversation.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: I think Ben Stable came out this year too, right?
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: Cry Baby.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: Did Offset drop an album this year? I don't know
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 5: if he dropped an album. I don't know.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 5: But I know the album Quavo just dropped a Chrome Life.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest with you. What? I don't care.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: If Drake don't want to put out his music, if
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: you don't want to submit his music to the Grammys,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: God bless.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: I don't think that he cares for the institution. Look,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 5: I'm not against it. He's still Drake and he's still charting,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 5: so it don't matter.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: He actually cares more about internet validation than he does
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: the Grammys. He cares more about what those digital D-heads
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: online think about.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: Him than he does the Grammys.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 5: I think he cares about his fan base.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: He cares way more about what them people say about
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: him online than he do the Grammys.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: He cares about the people. That's what I'm trying to...
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 5: That's because he be in the comments, though. He be
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 5: in the comments. He be on the streams. That's why
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: he cares. If he wasn't in the comments... He cares about.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: What he can control.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: And he can control a lot of the narrative about
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: him online, for.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: The most part.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 5: I don't even think he can control that.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: All the way.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 7: Yes, he can.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 5: He tries.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: He does a good damn job.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he tries.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 11: Well.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah. Real quick, before we get out of here,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: I wanted to mention the Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 5: project that is coming because yesterday it was announced via
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 5: deadline that they are going to be doing an inspiration-based
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 5: scripted series. It's going to be called 215. And this
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 5: is going to be a partnership between Westbrook Development and
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 5: the Mahler Group. Now, 215, this is going to be
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 5: based on Will Smith's early life and his rise alongside
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 5: DJ Jazzy Jeff as one of hip-hop's first ever crossover acts.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 5: So it's going to follow a quick-rooted teenager and the DJ,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 5: who is most musical and they're friends and they help
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 5: each other fuel their dream. And together, they chase a
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 5: record deal, they chase money, and a way to get
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 5: out of Philly and take over the hip-hop scene. I
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 5: know we talked about this earlier, but for a lot
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 5: of us, we thought that the Fresh Prince was really
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 5: Will Smith's life.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know why, because Will Smith didn't even rap
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: on Fresh Prince.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 5: No, but like.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: He wasn't chasing a rap dream on Fresh Prince.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 5: It just seemed like it was so Philly and so.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Philly. He left Philly to go to Bel-Air.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 5: I know, stupid, but what I'm saying is... It just
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 5: seemed like it was so, like, where he would have
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 5: been in his life once he left Philly. I mean,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 5: as a kid, that's what you think, right?
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 9: But when I got older and I actually met Will
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 9: Smith's real sister, she, and I asked her that.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 7: You asked her?
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she was like, hell no, it ain't about his
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 5: real life, girl.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: He don't got no rich uncle.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? No, like, she confirmed other
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: things that weren't real, you.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 7: Know what I mean? So, yeah.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: But I'm the stupid one. right right and also a
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: lot of people who.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 5: Thought that that was like a play on his real
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 5: life a lot.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Of people are stupid Lauren and it's okay DJ Jazzy
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: Jeff and Fresh Prince have a great life though if
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: you think about it in Philly I mean a great
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: story rather yeah because they go from you know Philadelphia
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: working class city to being actual crossover rap stars like
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: they were the first rappers to win a Grammy period
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: Like nobody ever, no rappers won Grammys before Fresh Prince
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: and Jazzy Jeff.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: That's a big deal.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 5: That is a big deal. Something that I just learned.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 5: Didn't they not go?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 22: Huh?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 5: Wasn't there like a boycott in there of some sort?
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't remember.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 5: It was something like, I don't know. Go ahead.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: But if you read Will's book, like his early life.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: In Philadelphia with him and Jeff and Charlie Mack and
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: all of them trying to make it out of Philadelphia,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: it's a really good story.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 13: Hmm.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's going to be dope. I'm excited
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 5: to see it. And DJ Jazzy Jeff looked like my
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 5: cousin Paul, so come on, Paul.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: We don't know what Paul looks like.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 5: I know, but DJ Jazzy Jeff.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a boycott.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: Why you don't give Paul a job? No, Paul's a
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: damn knucklehead. Because he look like a DJ.

  Speaker 7: Can he DJ?

  Speaker 11: Now Paul got to get a job.

  Speaker 5: And then on Friday, they got Maya and Jadakiss for
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 5: the alumni. My DMV girl is coming. Yeah. We're going
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 5: to have a good time this weekend. So act like
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 5: you know us. Don't play with us. Period.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: Hurry up.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 5: Charlotte, what's the positive note?
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: The positive note is this. Boredom.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: OK, is your unfair advantage. Everyone's trying to escape boredom
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: the second it shows up. You know, you get a
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: few seconds of silence and the first thing you do
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: is you reach for your phone. You want to be
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: on TikTok. You want to be on Instagram. You want
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: to be on YouTube. You just want, you know, some
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: random BS that keeps the brain busy. But boredom is
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: where your mind finally gets some freaking space. OK, that's
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: when ideas show up. That's when you start thinking about
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: your goals, your life, the stuff you've been avoiding. And honestly,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: being bored might be one of the best things you
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: can give yourself. Sit with it, all right? Take a
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: walk without your phone. Let your brain wander.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: Because while everybody else is constantly overstimulated, learning to be
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: comfortable with boredom gives you something rare, the ability to
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: focus when everything around you is screaming for attention. Y'all
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: have a great day. We'll see you tomorrow. It's The
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or you
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: all done?
