- 3:50Speaker 1: stay low and keep firing. I love it. Let's get
- 3:53Speaker 1: the show crack the front page Knews. What we're talking about?
- 3:56Speaker 1: He asked, Well, Joe Biden had some things to say
- 3:58Speaker 1: about these masks. Man's being removed, and now people are
- 4:02Speaker 1: offended that he used the word Neanderthal. Okay, I know
- 4:07Speaker 1: another nd word he could have used that with fifty
- 4:10Speaker 1: word is that Charlemagne. I better be happy. All right,
- 4:14Speaker 1: we'll get to the next. It's the breakfast call that Drake. Oh,
- 4:17Speaker 1: we'll Drake be playing right now. We got what hey, drama,
- 4:20Speaker 1: Drama stopped everything for the Drake. We got that Drake.
- 4:23Speaker 1: You know, we got that Drake. It's new Drake. It
- 4:26Speaker 1: came out today. It's called What's Next. He's spitting on this.
- 4:29Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
- 4:36Speaker 1: Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
- 4:39Speaker 1: That was Drake, New Drake with What's Next? Drake a
- 4:42Speaker 1: three song. I don't even know what you call it,
- 4:44Speaker 1: y'all guess it's just a three pack three three pack,
- 4:46Speaker 1: three pack. None of y'all say Drake better than Soldier boy.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I don't know why we don't be having drops that
- 4:51Speaker 1: say new music from Drake. But I'm not a producer.
- 4:55Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get in some front page news
- 4:59Speaker 1: where we starting you. Well, let's start with these mask
- 5:02Speaker 1: mandates and have five states Texas, Mississippi, Iowa, Montana, and
- 5:05Speaker 1: North Dakota have ended or will soon end statewide mask mandates.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Now there's eleven states that never actually required face covering statewide,
- 5:14Speaker 1: and that's Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idahoa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
- 5:18Speaker 1: South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. So of course Joe
- 5:24Speaker 1: Biden had some things to say about that, and we
- 5:25Speaker 1: discussed this yesterday. I hope it would realized by now,
- 5:31Speaker 1: make it different. We are on the cust for being
- 5:34Speaker 1: able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease, because
- 5:38Speaker 1: the way we did would get vaccines and people farms.
- 5:42Speaker 1: The lost thing we need is leanderthal thinking that and
- 5:45Speaker 1: the name thoughts. Take off your mask, forget it, It's
- 5:48Speaker 1: still matters. I might be a little dumb. What's wrong
- 5:52Speaker 1: with that word? All right? Well? Senator Marco Rubio went
- 5:56Speaker 1: on Twitter and he said President Biden's use of an
- 5:58Speaker 1: old stereotype is hurtful to modern Europeans, Asians and Americans
- 6:02Speaker 1: who inherit about two percent of their genes from Neanderthal ancestors.
- 6:06Speaker 1: She should apologize for his insensitive comments and seek training
- 6:09Speaker 1: on unconscious bias. And then they link to a CNN
- 6:12Speaker 1: article that reported on Princeton University research finding some Neanderthal
- 6:17Speaker 1: DNA among Africans. Oh my god, middle finger to all
- 6:20Speaker 1: of that rhetoric listening. People aren't Neanderthals. But it's just
- 6:23Speaker 1: socially irresponsible. It's ass backwards. That's what Joe Biden should
- 6:26Speaker 1: have said. This ass backwards. Either we want to slow
- 6:28Speaker 1: down coronavirus cases all we don't. If mask were proven
- 6:32Speaker 1: to work, and you know you see coronavirus cases going
- 6:34Speaker 1: down all across the country, wear your mask, simple as that.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Why would you tell people not to wear a mask?
- 6:42Speaker 1: Not say anything because here's a part of a party
- 6:44Speaker 1: where they use a whole other n word to describe
- 6:47Speaker 1: people with African DNA. All right, what word is there? Nigger?
- 6:53Speaker 1: All right now. In the meantime, the House displayed the
- 6:56Speaker 1: final tally for a vote on the George Floyd Police
- 6:58Speaker 1: Reform Bill. There was only one Republican that voted in
- 7:01Speaker 1: favor of it. The George Floyd Justice and Policing Act
- 7:04Speaker 1: with bandcho cold and it would change of the police
- 7:07Speaker 1: policies as well. The only person that was a Republican
- 7:09Speaker 1: who voted for it was a lands to Good and
- 7:11Speaker 1: he's a conservative and he has expressed enthusiastic support for
- 7:15Speaker 1: Donald Trump. But he did vote for it by accident.
- 7:18Speaker 1: After the vote, he admitted that it was a mistake.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He said, I accidentally pressed the wrong voting button and
- 7:22Speaker 1: realized it too late. That's God. That's God, that's God
- 7:25Speaker 1: controlling your stuff for you, sir, whenever you get on
- 7:27Speaker 1: your knees and you pray for God, to God your steps.
- 7:29Speaker 1: That's what that was. Just now goodness. Well, the bill
- 7:32Speaker 1: did still pass two twenty to one twelve, so his
- 7:34Speaker 1: vote didn't really matter, but he didn't make sure that
- 7:36Speaker 1: he went officially on record to reveal what his two
- 7:41Speaker 1: thoughts were. Now, I gotta gotta pass through the Senate

- 12:18Speaker 1: had me nervous and upset. Let me, let me, let
- 12:23Speaker 1: me tell you what I was told. Okay, I'm sitting
- 12:26Speaker 1: in the studio minding my business. Whenever it's suspicious or
- 12:29Speaker 1: screene activity downstairs. Security calls up. We get a call.
- 12:33Speaker 1: The call says, there's a guy down here looking for
- 12:36Speaker 1: DJ Envy. He's like, well, Envy's not here today. The
- 12:39Speaker 1: guy said, I refuse to leave until I get a
- 12:43Speaker 1: kiss from dj Envy. Right So he tells me to
- 12:47Speaker 1: the story and says that the guy has to be
- 12:50Speaker 1: because this guy wanted to give me a kiss right now.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, somebody's at the station and they won't
- 12:56Speaker 1: leave because they're trying to get in touch with me
- 12:58Speaker 1: or at some way much I kiss you now, mind you.

- 17:15Speaker 1: Michelle Obama about her book Becoming And here's a little
- 17:19Speaker 1: snippet coming up next of what their conversation sounded like.
- 17:22Speaker 1: It was really beautiful. All right, we'll get into that next.
- 17:24Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's
- 17:31Speaker 1: about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right. Well,
- 17:43Speaker 1: Takashi six nine made a homophobic comment on Instagram regarding
- 17:46Speaker 1: Little nas X. So Little nas X went ahead and
- 17:50Speaker 1: aired out some dms on TikTok and according to um
- 17:55Speaker 1: Little nas X, I guess Takashi was trying to slide
- 17:58Speaker 1: in his dms, so dancing along to one of his
- 18:01Speaker 1: own songs. Little nas X addressed the comment by asking
- 18:04Speaker 1: this you and then share the screenshot up his DNS
- 18:06Speaker 1: A six nine with two separate messages YO in October
- 18:10Speaker 1: of last year and then going to be in your
- 18:11Speaker 1: city soon. What you're doing lol? And that was from
- 18:14Speaker 1: last month. Well. Takashi then responded saying this forty s
- 18:19Speaker 1: even start. We're gonna nip the small Graham right here
- 18:22Speaker 1: six times to small count Look, stop playing with me.
- 18:26Speaker 1: So so he's trying to prove that he didn't actually
- 18:29Speaker 1: reach out to him. I know, I believe what will
- 18:32Speaker 1: be the problem if you reached out to him nothing.
- 18:35Speaker 1: I won't say this the Lord nas X, don't give
- 18:37Speaker 1: an f I like that, guys, and now he's great.
- 18:39Speaker 1: But also if you're Takashi, you can't be homophobic when
- 18:43Speaker 1: your rap name is sixty nine sixty nine. All right, now,
- 18:49Speaker 1: let's move on to some positivity. Zayre Wade has met
- 18:52Speaker 1: Michelle Obama virtually. They did a Q and A session
- 18:55Speaker 1: yesterday and Zaya Wade then shared that on Instagram, and
- 18:58Speaker 1: so before they discussing becoming, they did talk about advice
- 19:03Speaker 1: for teen readers. They did talk about how Ziah was
- 19:06Speaker 1: nervous to meet Michelle Obama, and she said that's her idol.
- 19:10Speaker 1: What advice do you have for teens who want to
- 19:12Speaker 1: be themselves and thrive well like you have and currently are.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I am just so proud of you being just an
- 19:20Speaker 1: amazing role model and embracing your truth. You're already doing this,
- 19:25Speaker 1: so maybe this is for some other young people that
- 19:28Speaker 1: are listening. It does take time to know what your
- 19:33Speaker 1: self is, you know for young people. So my first
- 19:36Speaker 1: piece of advice is be patient with yourself. Now. Michelle
- 19:42Speaker 1: Obama also as Zaiah what advice she had for young
- 19:44Speaker 1: people trying to find themselves, and Zia Wade said, well,
- 19:47Speaker 1: y'all think that we thrive with people who are just
- 19:48Speaker 1: like us. But I think getting a different perspective from
- 19:50Speaker 1: someone else who isn't like you really helps. That definitely
- 19:53Speaker 1: helped me in becoming me and defining my truth. I
- 19:55Speaker 1: think she's great. I love with Gabriel Union and the
- 19:58Speaker 1: way Wade how they're raising her. I just love it, man,
- 20:01Speaker 1: I really really love it all right. Eddie Murphy has
- 20:04Speaker 1: explained how Arnold Schwarzenegger is the person who inspired him
- 20:08Speaker 1: to do coming to America. He was talking to yeah,
- 20:11Speaker 1: who Entertainment. And here's what he said. You know what
- 20:13Speaker 1: happened I was watching. I think it was one of
- 20:15Speaker 1: those movies with Schwarzenegger, is that when they used that
- 20:18Speaker 1: terminated movies and they used a special effect, but it
- 20:21Speaker 1: made him really young. And I was like, hey, if
- 20:24Speaker 1: you did that scene, we could do a scene where
- 20:27Speaker 1: we're young and can that scene when we're in the club.
- 20:30Speaker 1: We could connect it. Then this happened and he and
- 20:33Speaker 1: then that was the piece that made it all kind
- 20:35Speaker 1: of fall into place. Okay, I mean, I don't know, man.
- 20:39Speaker 1: I think it might have been Ryan Coogl and Aaron
- 20:41Speaker 1: McGruder that inspired Coming to America too, because you know, yeah,
- 20:45Speaker 1: but they didn't direct it all. They didn't direct it though. Yeah,
- 20:48Speaker 1: but I read a treatment. I read a treatment that
- 20:50Speaker 1: they wrote back in the day, and I know Eddie
- 20:52Speaker 1: said he didn't like, uh, he didn't like Ryan's idea
- 20:54Speaker 1: for coming to America. But the treatment I saw that
- 20:57Speaker 1: they presented as a lot of similarities to the movie
- 20:59Speaker 1: that's currently screaming on Amazon Prime Video. Now, ye have
- 21:02Speaker 1: you seen the movie yet? No, it's out today. I
- 21:05Speaker 1: know a lot of people I've seen it already. I've
- 21:06Speaker 1: been dy've been hit me in my d MS and leaving.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I've been getting a lot of packages though from them
- 21:12Speaker 1: is great dope. Yeah, we've been getting a lot of
- 21:15Speaker 1: promo materials for coming to America. He sent us some
- 21:17Speaker 1: soul Golo. I'm trying to figure out if that's real
- 21:19Speaker 1: activated or not. It is, it's real activated. I read
- 21:21Speaker 1: the box, I read the ball. That's from Browner Brothers.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I got some sexual chocolates. Yeah, we're talking on hall
- 21:29Speaker 1: next hour, next how I'm talking on CEN your hall
- 21:32Speaker 1: all right? Well, and they've been doing a lot of
- 21:33Speaker 1: press lately because Eddie Murphy also did Kevin hart Sirius
- 21:36Speaker 1: XM podcast comedy gold Mines with Kevin Hart, and he
- 21:40Speaker 1: talked about how he had actually planned to start doing
- 21:42Speaker 1: stand up again and then the pandemic. My plan was
- 21:46Speaker 1: to do the Dolomite Saturday Night Live, Coming to America
- 21:50Speaker 1: and then do stand up, and then the pandemic hit.
- 21:53Speaker 1: To shut the whole damn that I was going. I
- 21:55Speaker 1: would the whole time last year. I would have been
- 21:57Speaker 1: out working on my act, trying to get my Hey,
- 22:00Speaker 1: when the pandemic is over and it's safe for everybody,
- 22:03Speaker 1: to go out and do it. Then the plan is
- 22:05Speaker 1: to do it? What what should Eddie Murphy do stand up? Yeah? Yeah,
- 22:12Speaker 1: you know what? Oh my god, you know what. I'd
- 22:14Speaker 1: like what you see Eddie Doude. I would like to
- 22:15Speaker 1: see Eddie dude Mike Tyson did. When Mike Tyson did
- 22:18Speaker 1: his um his one man show and he came out
- 22:21Speaker 1: there and he just told stories about his time in Hollywood.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I think I think Eddie should do that because the
- 22:25Speaker 1: bar for Eddie Murphy stand up is so high and
- 22:28Speaker 1: it's almost like you can't, you can't, you can't get
- 22:31Speaker 1: to that level again. You just didn't. You remember he
- 22:33Speaker 1: was a couple of years ago he was negotiating a
- 22:35Speaker 1: deal with Netflix and that was for an undisclosed number
- 22:38Speaker 1: of stand ups. Remember they were saying he was gonna
- 22:40Speaker 1: get about seventy million. Yeah, well, Eddie, I'd come out
- 22:43Speaker 1: in the throne and I'd be like, I'm gonna sit
- 22:45Speaker 1: down because I don't want y'all here trying to you know,
- 22:47Speaker 1: say say saying Eddie Murphy's doing stand up again. I
- 22:50Speaker 1: would come out in the throne and I would just
- 22:51Speaker 1: do the one man's show like Mike Tyson did. It's
- 22:53Speaker 1: funny that you said that because watching Coming to America, Sue,
- 22:57Speaker 1: my bar is so high from the original one, because
- 23:01Speaker 1: favorite movie that I don't think it can't compare, and
- 23:04Speaker 1: I try to compare it and it just can't. It
- 23:06Speaker 1: didn't be the same thing. Whatever you got raw, you
- 23:08Speaker 1: got delirious, Like people would compare it to that. I would.
- 23:11Speaker 1: I would if I was I would just come out
- 23:13Speaker 1: and do a one man show because whenever you hear him,
- 23:14Speaker 1: just tell stories about his time in Hollywood and things
- 23:17Speaker 1: that he's experienced there. Hilarious. I would just do that
- 23:19Speaker 1: same way Mike Tyson did All Right Now. Nas recently
- 23:23Speaker 1: did an interview with Financial Times, and he was saying
- 23:25Speaker 1: that he doesn't feel like he's in competition with any
- 23:28Speaker 1: of the younger rappers. He said, I appreciate what's out there,
- 23:30Speaker 1: but there's no one keeping me up at night. I
- 23:32Speaker 1: hear a new rap record, I think it's great, but
- 23:34Speaker 1: I don't listen to it the next week. And he
- 23:36Speaker 1: did say that Pop Smoke did catches out. He said,
- 23:38Speaker 1: we were happy to see that young king come up.
- 23:40Speaker 1: He was a breath of fresh air. The drill movement
- 23:42Speaker 1: in London, Chicago and New York is really exciting. He
- 23:45Speaker 1: also says that he has some plans to turn his
- 23:48Speaker 1: track from Elmattock New York State of Mind into a film.
- 23:51Speaker 1: That's dope. That's interesting on me because Nas is a
- 23:54Speaker 1: god MC right like, like I mean, Nas is in
- 23:57Speaker 1: you know, my top seven favorite rappers of all time.
- 23:59Speaker 1: So I always to how people like that do see
- 24:02Speaker 1: the game because their artists, you know what I mean,
- 24:04Speaker 1: So their their pallet is different than ours. All right,
- 24:08Speaker 1: well that is your rumor reports, all right, thank you,
- 24:10Speaker 1: miss y. But you know this, all of the greats
- 24:12Speaker 1: they love, they love the new artists. You know, it's
- 24:15Speaker 1: sometimes it be to B level and C level artists.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I like, oh here you dopo up right now. But
- 24:18Speaker 1: all the god mcs, whether it's Whole or Nas or
- 24:22Speaker 1: wherever else you put in that category, they love the
- 24:24Speaker 1: new m season and love to work with him, you know. Yeah,
- 24:26Speaker 1: that's why I mean, that's why it's interesting to hear.
- 24:28Speaker 1: And now I say, nobody keeps him up at night.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Like he said, he appreciates it and he can enjoy it,
- 24:33Speaker 1: but he's just not up at night. Yeah, I get it.
- 24:36Speaker 1: All right, Well, we got front page news next. What

- 26:25Speaker 1: wanted to be there. They barely take the au Star
- 26:27Speaker 1: game series as it is, and none of them really
- 26:29Speaker 1: want to be there. This weekend. I don't think they're
- 26:30Speaker 1: gonna be playing hard at all. It's you know, they
- 26:32Speaker 1: still they still competitive, They still going to w All right, now,
- 26:35Speaker 1: let's talk about Charlotte Bennett. She's the second woman to
- 26:37Speaker 1: go public with sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Crommel
- 26:41Speaker 1: in New York. And she did say she thought the
- 26:43Speaker 1: governor was trying to sleep with her and she was uncomfortable.
- 26:45Speaker 1: She told CBS Evening News anchor Nora O'Donnell what happened,
- 26:49Speaker 1: and here's what she said about their conversations. He explains
- 26:54Speaker 1: at that point that he is looking for a girlfriend,
- 26:57Speaker 1: he's lonely, he's tired. He asked if I had trouble
- 27:04Speaker 1: enjoying being with someone because of my drama. The governor
- 27:09Speaker 1: asked me if I was sensitive to intimacy in his office, Yes,
- 27:15Speaker 1: during the work day, that already, right, he was. What
- 27:22Speaker 1: he said was that she took the conversation the wrong way,
- 27:25Speaker 1: that he wasn't trying to do anything, but he understands
- 27:28Speaker 1: that it was uncomfortable for her now or something like that,
- 27:32Speaker 1: all right. Now. In addition to that, she talked about
- 27:34Speaker 1: another part of the conversation where he was discussing ages
- 27:37Speaker 1: and how he would date women if she was over
- 27:40Speaker 1: twenty two. You have been quoted as saying that He
- 27:43Speaker 1: also asked you about if you'd ever been with an
- 27:45Speaker 1: older man. Yeah, he asked me if age difference mattered.
- 27:50Speaker 1: He also explained that he was fine with anyone over
- 27:55Speaker 1: twenty two and how old are you? Twenty five? What
- 27:59Speaker 1: were you thinking as he's asking you these questions. I
- 28:03Speaker 1: thought he's trying to sleep with me, and I'm deeply
- 28:07Speaker 1: uncomfortable and I have to get out of this room
- 28:09Speaker 1: as soon as possible. Damn, It's all right, and I
- 28:14Speaker 1: wouldn't tell you Colmo's response. Now. Initially, he had said
- 28:17Speaker 1: last week that he never made advances towards miss Bennett,
- 28:20Speaker 1: nor did I ever intend to act in any way
- 28:21Speaker 1: that was inappropriate. But then on Wednesday he did a
- 28:24Speaker 1: more direct apology. He said, I now understand that I
- 28:28Speaker 1: acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. It
- 28:30Speaker 1: was unintentional, and I truly and deeply apologize for it.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I felt awful about it, and frankly, I am embarrassed
- 28:36Speaker 1: by it. And that's not easy to say, but that's
- 28:37Speaker 1: the truth. Yeah, I mean, it's nuts at any man,
- 28:40Speaker 1: but especially someone in his position, would still be, you know,
- 28:43Speaker 1: talking like that and making those same kind of mistakes
- 28:45Speaker 1: after me two times up movement, like you have to
- 28:48Speaker 1: be super arrogant to feel like you are untouchable, you know,
- 28:52Speaker 1: to still be making those same kind of mistakes. I
- 28:53Speaker 1: don't care how much Greece Governor Cuomo has in his head.
- 28:56Speaker 1: He is not an untouchable mob boss. And me two
- 28:58Speaker 1: times up should have caused a lot of self direction,
- 29:00Speaker 1: right and if you don't, you did himself correct yourself,
- 29:02Speaker 1: you head of yourself destruction. Or maybe he's been at
- 29:04Speaker 1: it for so long he just can't stop. That's that's true,
- 29:07Speaker 1: But that's what I mean. You got And I think
- 29:08Speaker 1: also and his head feels like because he didn't touch
- 29:11Speaker 1: her or touch anybody, that he didn't do anything wrong.
- 29:14Speaker 1: But the conversation can also be manipulative and uncomfortable and
- 29:19Speaker 1: wrong as well, especially when you're a man with that
- 29:21Speaker 1: kind of power. And right, well that is your front
- 29:25Speaker 1: page news all right now, when we come back, Charlomagne
- 29:28Speaker 1: got a chance to kick it with our Cineo. Oh man,

- 29:42Speaker 1: now screaming on Amazon Prime Video. So we talk about
- 29:45Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff. We sat down for like

- 29:49Speaker 1: We'll get into that next keeping lock this to Breakfast

- 30:02Speaker 1: a chance to chop it up with our Cineo Hall. Yes,
- 30:05Speaker 1: you know it's funny because this interview has been under
- 30:07Speaker 1: embargo for a while because you know, they was keeping
- 30:11Speaker 1: a top secret for whatever reason, because of the movie,
- 30:14Speaker 1: right and the stuff that we talked about. But yeah,
- 30:17Speaker 1: I got the chance to sit down one of my inspirations,
- 30:19Speaker 1: man mis star Ciny Hall Talk show Goat. This man
- 30:23Speaker 1: has inspired me on so many different levels in that
- 30:25Speaker 1: I've been blessed to have several conversations with him throughout
- 30:27Speaker 1: my life. But this one is public for the people.
- 30:30Speaker 1: So alright, you look good, my brother, Thank you man,
- 30:33Speaker 1: and God bless you. You look great. I love that you.
- 30:37Speaker 1: You did something about Paul Mooney this morning on Instagram.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Many God bless you, because me and Eddie were talking
- 30:42Speaker 1: about him yesterday. I was like shocked. It was like
- 30:45Speaker 1: you were hearing us. I always think about y'all man,
- 30:47Speaker 1: because from the outside looking in, it always seemed like
- 30:50Speaker 1: unity and group operation has been a thing for y'all
- 30:54Speaker 1: generation to comedians, well, at least with the Black Pack. Yeah,
- 30:57Speaker 1: with theself and Eddie, Robert Towns and I win. Paul
- 31:01Speaker 1: Mooney was part of that as well. Right, absolutely, there
- 31:04Speaker 1: is an early picture where Paul Mooney is in that
- 31:07Speaker 1: photo with me and Keenan and Eddie. I joked about
- 31:10Speaker 1: this in Chappelle in Chris Rock's dressing room, and it
- 31:14Speaker 1: was on Instagram. It's interesting, you know, Prince, you know
- 31:18Speaker 1: the famous situation at the Beverly Theater where James Brown
- 31:21Speaker 1: is performing in Prince and Michael Jackson both showed up. Well, No,
- 31:24Speaker 1: I thought that on the BT, the one where Prince
- 31:28Speaker 1: grabbed a light pole and fell an audience. No, okay,
- 31:31Speaker 1: I have to send you this, but because it's too
- 31:34Speaker 1: long to story. But my point was that legends and
- 31:37Speaker 1: goats haven't always gotten along. And I love that Chris
- 31:42Speaker 1: and Chappelle, as good as they are, they don't compete.
- 31:45Speaker 1: They drive each other higher. And that's the way Richard
- 31:49Speaker 1: and Eddie were. And one time he had this little
- 31:52Speaker 1: cart right and he said, I hear Eddie Murphy house
- 31:56Speaker 1: a movie out and I said yeah. He said, can't
- 31:59Speaker 1: we go see it? And he was willing to leave
- 32:02Speaker 1: the house. I put his little cart in the back
- 32:04Speaker 1: of my rover and I rented a theater at Paramount.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Me and Richard sat and watched the Eddie movie. They
- 32:11Speaker 1: it was a sequel to cop Okay, okay, it's one
- 32:14Speaker 1: of those. And he loved Eddie. And I love when
- 32:17Speaker 1: the goats are talented and confident enough to hang out
- 32:22Speaker 1: and drive each other higher. And that's like I went
- 32:25Speaker 1: on the road, did a couple of dates with Chappelle
- 32:27Speaker 1: and Chris rocket I loved their relationship. You know, there
- 32:30Speaker 1: was never jealousy. Nobody was ever hating on the other
- 32:33Speaker 1: and falling off light poles at the Beverly Theater and
- 32:36Speaker 1: stuff like that. So the Richard wanted to meet Steve,
- 32:38Speaker 1: because that's his illegitimate son. Because Steve and Richard got it.
- 32:41Speaker 1: They look they didn't look alike. Why you wanted to
- 32:46Speaker 1: see Steve, Well, you know, it probably was some kind
- 32:50Speaker 1: of synchronicity and looking at a mustache and saying I
- 32:53Speaker 1: like him. And by the way, he had met Steve
- 32:56Speaker 1: one other time too. I think Steve told me they
- 32:58Speaker 1: had met someplace. You know, it might have been some
- 33:01Speaker 1: visual connection, but with Richard it was probably because Steve
- 33:05Speaker 1: was funny. And in those times when you're in your
- 33:07Speaker 1: bed and that's all you do is sit with your
- 33:09Speaker 1: friend and watch TV, laughter is healing. Laughter is the
- 33:14Speaker 1: greatest thing ever, and it's why I'm happy this movie
- 33:17Speaker 1: is coming on March fifth. I know it's not much
- 33:20Speaker 1: in times like this, when we have food lines and
- 33:24Speaker 1: people dying, but I'm sure glad that on March fifth,
- 33:27Speaker 1: I can take people away for an hour and a
- 33:29Speaker 1: half and make them laugh. That's why I wanted to
- 33:31Speaker 1: ask you about the Black Packers, You and Edie's relationship.
- 33:34Speaker 1: The chemistry has always there. Why is that unity so
- 33:37Speaker 1: important then? And how have y'all helped each other over
- 33:40Speaker 1: the year. While it's interesting, you know, he's a rich guy.
- 33:44Speaker 1: He don't need no help. But I think we've all
- 33:47Speaker 1: had we know what the other does. Stand ups are
- 33:51Speaker 1: very cliquish. There's this thing we think we're the most
- 33:55Speaker 1: the most talented people on the planet. We think stand
- 33:58Speaker 1: up is the hardest thing in the world to do,
- 34:00Speaker 1: and there's a tremendous respect. Don't get me wrong. There's
- 34:03Speaker 1: some comics are standing in the back of the comedy
- 34:05Speaker 1: store and they hate on you. But for the most part,
- 34:07Speaker 1: we're very cliquish. And I think Eddie and I met,
- 34:12Speaker 1: we understood each other, and it's kind of cool that
- 34:15Speaker 1: we're still friends, because friendships, you know, don't last sometimes
- 34:21Speaker 1: when there's money and competition and that kind of stuff
- 34:25Speaker 1: in the mix. How did you and Eddie even become
- 34:27Speaker 1: the friend? Eddie and I met through Keenan Lands We
- 34:32Speaker 1: were Keenan called me back in the days when you
- 34:35Speaker 1: didn't have a cell phone. You call somebody at home
- 34:38Speaker 1: if they don't answer. But you know, I got a call.
- 34:43Speaker 1: It was Keenan. He said, come to the improv about nine,
- 34:47Speaker 1: and he said, Eddie's gonna work out because he's in
- 34:49Speaker 1: town to do the tonight show, so he needed to
- 34:51Speaker 1: work out his set and I got there and we
- 34:53Speaker 1: were standing in front waiting for Eddie to arrive, and
- 34:56Speaker 1: Keenan introduced me to Eddie and Eddie said, I wanted
- 34:59Speaker 1: to meet you in person because my mother thinks we're
- 35:02Speaker 1: looking like nig You don't look like me and looking Yeah.
- 35:07Speaker 1: The second sentence Eddie said to me was you don't
- 35:09Speaker 1: look like me. And and Damon Waans was parking his car.
- 35:15Speaker 1: This is this is a great story. Damon starts walking
- 35:18Speaker 1: down the street and he's walking a little offeminine, very
- 35:22Speaker 1: effeminine and like men on film. Yes, okay, okay, And
- 35:27Speaker 1: so I hadn't met him, and so we should. He
- 35:29Speaker 1: put his hand out and he shook my hand, and
- 35:31Speaker 1: you know, if somebody is really acting like that, you
- 35:34Speaker 1: don't laugh because that's who they are, you know. So
- 35:38Speaker 1: I didn't know. I had never met Keenan's brother. And
- 35:41Speaker 1: finally he came out of the character and I realized,
- 35:45Speaker 1: this guy is a funny mother and he can lock
- 35:48Speaker 1: into a character, and that character, because Eddie's standing there,
- 35:52Speaker 1: that character ended up a valet parking guy in Beverly Hills. Cop. Wow,
- 35:57Speaker 1: you know, I'm wondering, like, were you hesitant in any
- 36:00Speaker 1: way to do a sequel to a classic like Coming
- 36:03Speaker 1: to America. Oh, yes, because there are gods that walk
- 36:08Speaker 1: the earth. You're afraid of criticism, you know, from Charallemagne
- 36:12Speaker 1: to somebody on Twitter. I've been buying a coffee and
- 36:17Speaker 1: the barista said to me, I heard y'all gonna redo
- 36:20Speaker 1: that movie. Don't fit up. That's my movie. My family
- 36:22Speaker 1: watched that movie once a year together. And you realize
- 36:25Speaker 1: there are people who are afraid for you to go
- 36:28Speaker 1: to work. They don't want you to do it, they
- 36:30Speaker 1: don't want you to do with it, And you start thinking,
- 36:33Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, if the barista is nervous, what's Challemagne
- 36:36Speaker 1: gonna say? What? You know? I mean, there are a
- 36:39Speaker 1: lot of people who see it as this cult film
- 36:42Speaker 1: that they grew up with and they loved, And there
- 36:44Speaker 1: were people who really didn't want us to do the sequel.
- 36:47Speaker 1: But I think we did it, and I think the
- 36:50Speaker 1: people who are truly fans of it are gonna like
- 36:52Speaker 1: what we did. Now, if people don't like the sequel
- 36:56Speaker 1: to come into America, do you think it will affect
- 36:58Speaker 1: the legacy of the first film. I think the second
- 37:01Speaker 1: one will stand on its own as just a statement
- 37:04Speaker 1: like I loved the first one. You know, I don't
- 37:07Speaker 1: think it'll hurt the legacy, but I also think they'll
- 37:11Speaker 1: love it because you know, it's like a great Michael
- 37:14Speaker 1: Eric Dyson book. You're like chapter one, and it's the
- 37:17Speaker 1: same dude talking to chapter two, continuing his thoughts and
- 37:21Speaker 1: his flowery language. Is this is a these two things
- 37:25Speaker 1: work together, Like I love the fact that your kids
- 37:28Speaker 1: and my kid will be able to watch this and
- 37:31Speaker 1: within this movie, even if they haven't seen the first one,
- 37:35Speaker 1: it will be explained that there was more that happened
- 37:37Speaker 1: that night when I said I'm gonna tell you a
- 37:39Speaker 1: part and you're friend, dude, you know that entire night
- 37:43Speaker 1: evolved and morphed into something else, and through the magic
- 37:47Speaker 1: of film technology, Like there's this movie that I was
- 37:51Speaker 1: watching and I'm looking and I'm like, that young dude
- 37:53Speaker 1: right then looked like DeNiro, and I realized it was DeNiro,
- 37:58Speaker 1: And they have this process by what they can make
- 38:00Speaker 1: you look younger these days. So me and Eddie were
- 38:03Speaker 1: talking about it and he said, yes, he said they
- 38:05Speaker 1: did that with Arnold And he said, you know, with
- 38:07Speaker 1: that idea, we can go back and we can have
- 38:11Speaker 1: a reprieve of what happened that night, and we can
- 38:13Speaker 1: go from there into a sequel. And I think it
- 38:16Speaker 1: was Arnold's young makeup in that process that gave him
- 38:19Speaker 1: part of the idea for this or to so long
- 38:22Speaker 1: for us for the film to come out, because I've
- 38:23Speaker 1: been hearing about this sequel for at least it seemed
- 38:26Speaker 1: like fifteen years. Honestly. Yeah, And here's the crazy thing, Charlemagne.
- 38:31Speaker 1: And it's why I love when you ask those kind
- 38:34Speaker 1: of questions. None of that stuff was ever true. There
- 38:37Speaker 1: was never a talk. We had actually decided we're fans
- 38:41Speaker 1: of the movie too. It was great, we did it well,
- 38:44Speaker 1: we're gonna leave it where it is. And trust me,
- 38:46Speaker 1: I'm not papered up like Eddie. If he said let's
- 38:50Speaker 1: do Coming to America too, and it's about us going
- 38:53Speaker 1: to Wakonda with R Kelly, I would sign up and
- 38:57Speaker 1: I would do it. You know, it's like whatever my life.
- 39:00Speaker 1: It's like the plane smells like this, you know, whatever
- 39:04Speaker 1: the I would handle it. But we loved the first
- 39:09Speaker 1: one and had decided to never do a sequel, and
- 39:13Speaker 1: then he heard the idea, and that idea went through
- 39:16Speaker 1: a lot of incarnations. Like for instance, when he first
- 39:20Speaker 1: told me the idea, I said, I kind of like that.
- 39:22Speaker 1: And he went to the original writers and wanted them
- 39:24Speaker 1: to craft just the format and get the technical stuff
- 39:29Speaker 1: right and then go to Kenya and modernize it and
- 39:31Speaker 1: make it funny. So he had a process. And I said,
- 39:36Speaker 1: we're gonna have to cast a son for you, and
- 39:39Speaker 1: he said, I got that. I got that. And I said, oh,
- 39:42Speaker 1: he says Tracy Morgan and I said no, no, Tracy
- 39:49Speaker 1: Morgan is funny every day he wakes up, but you
- 39:52Speaker 1: all look about the same age he can't. It's like
- 39:55Speaker 1: we cany have comeing to America with Morgan Freeman as
- 39:57Speaker 1: your son found in America. You know it's a that
- 40:00Speaker 1: doesn't work. But we knew that whatever he did, he
- 40:04Speaker 1: wanted Tracey Innits. So he made him the uncle and
- 40:06Speaker 1: they did a casting call and Jermaine came in. Jermaine
- 40:09Speaker 1: Foller came in and crushed it on his audition. From
- 40:13Speaker 1: what Craig Brewer told me, the day he came in,
- 40:16Speaker 1: it was over because they loved Jermaine. So the bottom
- 40:19Speaker 1: line is it took four more years after that day
- 40:22Speaker 1: that he let me read the draft. It took four
- 40:24Speaker 1: more years to get it right. All right, Now we
- 40:26Speaker 1: got more with our Cineo Hall. When we come back,
- 40:28Speaker 1: don't move. It's to breakfast Club. Come morning, everybody in
- 40:32Speaker 1: stej Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the
- 40:36Speaker 1: breakfast club. You know, Coming to America comes out today
- 40:39Speaker 1: and Charlomagne got a chance to chop it up with
- 40:41Speaker 1: our Cineo Yeah, Coming to America's actually out. I got
- 40:43Speaker 1: the chance to sit down and chop it up. One
- 40:45Speaker 1: of my inspirations. Misto, our Cineo Hall. Visit y'all all comedians,
- 40:48Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, y'all, don't bite your tongue.
- 40:50Speaker 1: But things have changed drastically from the first film. Did
- 40:53Speaker 1: being politically correct and out having to be politically correct
- 40:57Speaker 1: a certain moment impact the comedy and absolutely league Just
- 41:01Speaker 1: like when I do stand up, sometimes you're nervous. I
- 41:04Speaker 1: was doing stand up one night before COVID and this
- 41:08Speaker 1: dude was sitting he was sitting watching me like this
- 41:11Speaker 1: Charlemagne and he had he was just recording it all
- 41:15Speaker 1: and we got him to pull it down off the YouTube.
- 41:18Speaker 1: But the problem is when I'm in a little club
- 41:21Speaker 1: working out the jokes ain't finished yet. Um I learned
- 41:25Speaker 1: what's wrong and what's right, and you adjust things. I
- 41:28Speaker 1: hate people to tape it then, because you know you can,
- 41:31Speaker 1: you can get in some trouble. But political correctness it
- 41:35Speaker 1: makes you think about it a lot. When I don't
- 41:37Speaker 1: like to think, I just like to do it, like
- 41:40Speaker 1: like coming to America. I remember when I saw the
- 41:41Speaker 1: line where my barber addresses breast in Africa. I think
- 41:48Speaker 1: his term was them long slopping it is. And you know,
- 41:53Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, I'm gonna come back and do
- 41:55Speaker 1: this sequel and and I was like, well, I'm just
- 41:58Speaker 1: gonna blame it on Kenyon. That's it. That's it. You
- 42:02Speaker 1: know you talked about a being like rich and there
- 42:05Speaker 1: was a time when Eddie was one of the biggest
- 42:08Speaker 1: stars in the world. I mean he's still he's an
- 42:10Speaker 1: icon now, but I'm just talking about like just a
- 42:13Speaker 1: red hot superstar. That was that ever a moment where
- 42:16Speaker 1: you had to check him because he might have been
- 42:17Speaker 1: getting big in front and on you. Wow, I'll tell
- 42:21Speaker 1: you something about Eddie. Eddie will say something to me
- 42:25Speaker 1: and we'll be boys doing what guys do. But I've
- 42:30Speaker 1: seen someone say something about me too, Eddie, and it's like, hey,
- 42:36Speaker 1: you know, that's my brother. And so we we say
- 42:38Speaker 1: a lot of crazies to each other, and we argue
- 42:41Speaker 1: just like friends do. But when our backs are against
- 42:45Speaker 1: the wall, you know, we ride or die when it
- 42:48Speaker 1: comes to that friendship. I've always looked up for you
- 42:51Speaker 1: in the talk show space man. You know that. You
- 42:53Speaker 1: know I'm saying that a million times had the pleasure
- 42:55Speaker 1: of telling you that. And you know what I think
- 42:59Speaker 1: of your work. I mean when people ask me about this,
- 43:03Speaker 1: you know, like during the election, I'm like, it looks
- 43:06Speaker 1: like they don't need me on the planet because Charlemagne
- 43:10Speaker 1: is taking everything I dreamed of doing and tried to
- 43:14Speaker 1: do to the next plateau. And um with with you
- 43:21Speaker 1: on the planet, I can stay home. You know. I
- 43:26Speaker 1: reference you all the time, Man, you you even You're
- 43:28Speaker 1: one of the reasons I even want to do a
- 43:30Speaker 1: talk show when I when I hosted while I was
- 43:32Speaker 1: a guest on Stephen Kobet show one time and he
- 43:34Speaker 1: let me sit behind the desk and I made the audience.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Hey, yo, dog, I
- 43:43Speaker 1: just had some shoulder surgery from all the years of
- 43:45Speaker 1: doing that replaced serious. I'm like old quarterbacks like people.
- 43:53Speaker 1: People do that to me now and I go to
- 43:55Speaker 1: the other homes. What what was your experience as a
- 44:00Speaker 1: black mail talk show host in the nineties. It was
- 44:03Speaker 1: hard because well, first of all, hard hard is what
- 44:07Speaker 1: my uncle did at Jones and locked with Steel, or
- 44:10Speaker 1: what my other uncle did at Chevrolet. But there were times,
- 44:14Speaker 1: you know, I remember one time of reviewer referring to
- 44:17Speaker 1: me as a monkey. I mean, you could imagine back
- 44:20Speaker 1: then it was different, and we've become a little more
- 44:23Speaker 1: politically correct, but h but it was hard, you hun
- 44:28Speaker 1: in the context he was talking about my movement on stage,
- 44:34Speaker 1: you know, because I'm not I don't stand you know,
- 44:37Speaker 1: I was a stand up and I move a lot.
- 44:40Speaker 1: It's crazy, Chalomigne. It's the things like I could tell you.
- 44:44Speaker 1: But you know what was the hardest. Sometimes I had
- 44:47Speaker 1: a desire to leave the business different than I found it.
- 44:50Speaker 1: I wanted to bring black people into it. I remember
- 44:54Speaker 1: asking the president of Paramount for an intern program because
- 44:58Speaker 1: there weren't enough black and there had never been any
- 45:02Speaker 1: in late night who write jokes every night. So I
- 45:05Speaker 1: started an intern program. My first intern was John Singleton,
- 45:09Speaker 1: and he wanted to direct, And the coolest thing in
- 45:12Speaker 1: the world was this guy on my set. Sometimes I
- 45:16Speaker 1: would say, weis John Singleton in the hallway where talent is,
- 45:20Speaker 1: and he would always wander away from the interns and
- 45:24Speaker 1: go say hello to a guest like Cuba Gooding Junior.
- 45:27Speaker 1: And it's weird that so much of the prep for
- 45:31Speaker 1: that movie, in his mind and in his heart and
- 45:34Speaker 1: meeting people in networking was done on the show. And
- 45:38Speaker 1: at that time it was like, hey, man, you're supposed
- 45:40Speaker 1: to be zero rox in the paper that they gave you.
- 45:43Speaker 1: But now I look back and I'm glad he said,
- 45:46Speaker 1: fuck off, sir, I don't want to do that. You know.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Well he did say no, he didn't know he didn't.
- 45:53Speaker 1: But but I love that that that he didn't do
- 45:56Speaker 1: what I said all the time, Like there were times
- 45:59Speaker 1: the intern weren't allowed on the stage, and there were
- 46:01Speaker 1: times I would walk into the booth and John Singleton
- 46:05Speaker 1: was watching the director, And now I look back, and
- 46:08Speaker 1: I'm so glad that he didn't do what I said, dude,
- 46:11Speaker 1: you know. And so we had young writers and interns,
- 46:15Speaker 1: and I was able to put a lot of hip
- 46:17Speaker 1: hop on. I was able to try to do anything
- 46:20Speaker 1: that Oprah and Johnny weren't doing, and Oprah wasn't crazy
- 46:24Speaker 1: about hip hop back then. So I got to have
- 46:26Speaker 1: this lane in this world all to myself. But one
- 46:30Speaker 1: of the hard parts was in starting that. I remember
- 46:33Speaker 1: going to Paramount and saying, I want to book this group,
- 46:36Speaker 1: and I knew that I was gonna have a hard time.
- 46:38Speaker 1: I had to approve all the bookings early on, and
- 46:41Speaker 1: I wanted to do NWA and one of the people
- 46:45Speaker 1: in the meeting knew who it was. I had a
- 46:47Speaker 1: cassette tape that ice Cube hand delivered to me. He
- 46:51Speaker 1: brought it to the set. Because ice Cube hated me
- 46:54Speaker 1: for many years, I wasn't able to pull it off.
- 46:58Speaker 1: It was early on. I wasn't able to get Paramount
- 47:01Speaker 1: to He wanted to do the police and I was
- 47:05Speaker 1: the president of I was the national ambassador of Dare
- 47:09Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff, which meant I went to
- 47:11Speaker 1: schools with cops, and so Paramount wouldn't let me do it.
- 47:16Speaker 1: I remember finally when they started letting me do stuff.
- 47:19Speaker 1: One hey, I wanted to do Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown
- 47:22Speaker 1: played me two songs. He played me my prerogative and
- 47:25Speaker 1: don't be cruel. And I said, I want to break
- 47:28Speaker 1: both of them up, and he said, no, just one.
- 47:30Speaker 1: I want both of them, Bob. It's not like the
- 47:33Speaker 1: Tonight Show won't let you break it. So I went
- 47:36Speaker 1: to Paramount and I said, I want to do two
- 47:38Speaker 1: songs in one night. I'm gonna do it on a
- 47:40Speaker 1: Friday night and I'm gonna do one in the early
- 47:42Speaker 1: part of the show and one at the end of
- 47:44Speaker 1: the show. I'm gonna do Prerogative last. And they didn't
- 47:46Speaker 1: want me to do it. And it was interesting. They
- 47:48Speaker 1: didn't even like when I said Bobby Brown. They said, look,
- 47:51Speaker 1: I'm sure she's very talented, but and I said, wa
- 47:54Speaker 1: wa wa woa she And they said, Bobby Brown is
- 47:57Speaker 1: She was a spokesmodel on Star Search, right, No, Bobby
- 48:03Speaker 1: Brown is a man, and Bobby Brown was a new addition.
- 48:08Speaker 1: And so I realized they were turning me down on
- 48:10Speaker 1: stuff they didn't understand. And you have to you have
- 48:13Speaker 1: to realize that in those times when I'm saying Bobby
- 48:16Speaker 1: Brown and when I'm saying pute tip, and when I'm
- 48:18Speaker 1: saying um, you know, you know how people sit in
- 48:22Speaker 1: the band at the Tonight Show or David Sanborn sits
- 48:26Speaker 1: in with Paul Shaeffer. I want to have some hip
- 48:31Speaker 1: hop guys with my posse, and I wanted to do
- 48:34Speaker 1: stuff differently, and I had to fight for a lot
- 48:37Speaker 1: of that. All right. We got more with us, Seneo
- 48:39Speaker 1: Hall when we come back, No moves to Breakfast Club.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Good morning, j Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We
- 48:46Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club now. Charlomagne kicked it with Arseneo
- 48:50Speaker 1: Hall about how long? About a week ago? Two weeks ago? Yeah,
- 48:54Speaker 1: longer than that, but it's dope. You know. I got
- 48:56Speaker 1: to sit down with him and chop it up for
- 48:58Speaker 1: an hour. He's one of my inspirations. I always say
- 49:01Speaker 1: six degrees of Arsenio. There's nobody that you can meet
- 49:03Speaker 1: in the industry from a certain era that Arsino doesn't
- 49:06Speaker 1: have a story about. But we'll talk to him. Man.
- 49:09Speaker 1: It shows me how much value one black person in
- 49:15Speaker 1: the right position can have because one thing that you
- 49:18Speaker 1: always showed us, it was so much value in us.
- 49:20Speaker 1: And that's one thing I love about the Ustino whole show.
- 49:22Speaker 1: There was the time when there was a need to
- 49:24Speaker 1: highlight hip hop and black stars. Do you think that
- 49:27Speaker 1: black talent is adequately adequately represented in highlighted? Now? Well,
- 49:33Speaker 1: not to keep kissing your ass, but you know, when
- 49:37Speaker 1: I listen to you or watch you, I hear about
- 49:40Speaker 1: the stuff I don't know about, and I think that's important.
- 49:44Speaker 1: You know, you go deep into hip hop, and you
- 49:48Speaker 1: know you're an envy. You know, y'all know some folks.
- 49:52Speaker 1: And I love going that deep. I love going deeper
- 49:55Speaker 1: than Ryan and Kelly will go with hip hop, you know,
- 50:00Speaker 1: and you do that. Um. I love Trevor Noah's position
- 50:05Speaker 1: in the business because he's brilliant and he deals with
- 50:08Speaker 1: an area of show business that Soul Train didn't deal with.
- 50:12Speaker 1: He deals with an area of society that we've never
- 50:16Speaker 1: seen a brother deal with. I would love to see
- 50:19Speaker 1: more people so we have more variety, because there's a
- 50:22Speaker 1: huge space between Charlemagne and Trevor. Trevor, by the way,
- 50:26Speaker 1: who's in coming to America. Yeah, I won't even I
- 50:31Speaker 1: won't even tell what he does, but you can imagine,
- 50:33Speaker 1: you know. But but bottom line is there's something in
- 50:36Speaker 1: the middle. And I know there's Jesus and Morrow guy, yeah,
- 50:42Speaker 1: and and so, but but the bottom line is like
- 50:46Speaker 1: the NBA. I don't mind having five people in late night,
- 50:51Speaker 1: you know, and a white boy coming off the bench.
- 50:54Speaker 1: We can flip it up a little bit, you know.
- 50:57Speaker 1: You know, I'm so happy this movie is coming out
- 50:58Speaker 1: coming to America two March fifth because really for you
- 51:03Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, because I've told you this before.
- 51:05Speaker 1: What is our Cineo Hall waiting on to tell his story? Wow?
- 51:11Speaker 1: See now now you've been friends with Wendy makes this
- 51:15Speaker 1: real relevant. We all the world just saw her documentary.
- 51:21Speaker 1: There's no Calvins and then Calvin Calvin. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 51:25Speaker 1: there's nobody like that in my life. Yeah, so you
- 51:30Speaker 1: have a feeling, you know, none of my women have
- 51:34Speaker 1: ever had down the street in a house that I bought.
- 51:38Speaker 1: You know. But that stuff makes good television, that makes
- 51:42Speaker 1: good storytelling. I'll be honest with you, man, I think
- 51:47Speaker 1: a documentary on me might be boring. I mean, stop,
- 51:51Speaker 1: there's but there's no there's no drug problem, you know
- 51:56Speaker 1: unless hey, by the way, weed has gotten me through
- 51:59Speaker 1: to twenty in part of twenty twenty one. You know,
- 52:02Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm a smoker. I'm I'm a big weed smoker.
- 52:07Speaker 1: But I think, but you need a cocaine problem, or
- 52:11Speaker 1: you know, you need to have a scene where where
- 52:14Speaker 1: you put heroin in your ass at some point. For
- 52:18Speaker 1: a good documentary, documentary would be a guy who came
- 52:22Speaker 1: from Cleveland and did very well and then wrote a
- 52:25Speaker 1: letter to Paramount and said, I want to move on.
- 52:27Speaker 1: I think I want a family and I want to
- 52:29Speaker 1: do more acting. You know that's not a good documentary.
- 52:32Speaker 1: You had so many legendary people in moments on our
- 52:36Speaker 1: City or Hall show, and you kind of answered this already.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Do you even factor those moments into your own personal
- 52:42Speaker 1: measurement of value? I guess I do. But as many
- 52:46Speaker 1: things that I did right, You know, there are a
- 52:50Speaker 1: lot of people who hate me because they feel only
- 52:54Speaker 1: Barbara Walters should interview fair Con and I shouldn't have
- 52:59Speaker 1: done it. So I got things from that era and
- 53:02Speaker 1: moments in that era that people hate me for it too.
- 53:04Speaker 1: And you gotta take the good with the bad. But
- 53:07Speaker 1: that's who I was. I was mister Curious, and I
- 53:09Speaker 1: remember meeting him and he told me about the million
- 53:11Speaker 1: Man March, and he also said to me that I
- 53:14Speaker 1: had never heard this, and I thought it was important
- 53:17Speaker 1: to the black community. He looked at me, and he said,
- 53:19Speaker 1: because I asked him about Malcolm. And I said, I
- 53:22Speaker 1: think the question that black people want to know is
- 53:24Speaker 1: your relationship with Malcolm in the end, and he said,
- 53:27Speaker 1: I think I may have contributed to an atmosphere that
- 53:32Speaker 1: killed Malcolm. And when he said that, I'm like, I
- 53:36Speaker 1: gotta do this interview and I already resigned from the show.
- 53:39Speaker 1: I'd sent a letter to carry McCluggage and they let
- 53:43Speaker 1: me do it. But a lot of people didn't like it.
- 53:46Speaker 1: And I get that. I'm sure there are people who
- 53:51Speaker 1: didn't like my interview with other people too, but but
- 53:55Speaker 1: so you resigned from last in l Allstel like the
- 53:58Speaker 1: rumor has always been. Senio Hall got canceled because he
- 54:01Speaker 1: interviewed the honorable Minutes the Lewis Firecum. Yeah, I had
- 54:04Speaker 1: sent a letter of resignation to the guy who was
- 54:07Speaker 1: running Paramount prior to that. Paramount didn't have to let
- 54:11Speaker 1: me do that, but they thought it was good TV
- 54:13Speaker 1: to ask him these questions. And by the way, I
- 54:14Speaker 1: brought in a man back then named IRV Rubin, who
- 54:18Speaker 1: was head of the JDL, because I wanted to ask
- 54:21Speaker 1: those questions too, not just the things that black people
- 54:24Speaker 1: were concerned about it, so you know I tried to
- 54:26Speaker 1: do it in that way. But yes, I had sent
- 54:28Speaker 1: a letter in and resigned, and because they had to
- 54:32Speaker 1: figure out what they were going to do with the show,
- 54:34Speaker 1: they let me continue to do more shows while they
- 54:37Speaker 1: figured it out, because I remember the conversation they came
- 54:40Speaker 1: to me. They said, what would you do? We have
- 54:43Speaker 1: Bill Bellamy under contract. Do you think he'd be good?
- 54:46Speaker 1: And that was their conversation. They also brought up John Stewart,
- 54:51Speaker 1: who they eventually gave the show to. John Stewart had
- 54:54Speaker 1: a couple of bites at the Apple. He did a
- 54:56Speaker 1: show back then after me because they went with him
- 54:58Speaker 1: instead of Bellamy, and then of course got You know,
- 55:02Speaker 1: there's no timing greater in show business than God's timing.
- 55:06Speaker 1: It ain't about when you want it, It's about when
- 55:07Speaker 1: He want to give it to you. Because John Stewart
- 55:10Speaker 1: changed the game, but not that night. Later on they
- 55:13Speaker 1: put him in the right place in front of where
- 55:16Speaker 1: you know, Trevor's life is now and he was groundbreaking
- 55:20Speaker 1: and change the business, but back then it wasn't his time.
- 55:23Speaker 1: But he replaced me. Why are resign though I wanted,
- 55:28Speaker 1: like when you're doing a talk show, it might be
- 55:31Speaker 1: similar to what you're doing every night. I'm watching somebody's movie.
- 55:34Speaker 1: I'm reading someone's book. There was no link. Back then,
- 55:38Speaker 1: you had to go to a theater or someplace and
- 55:41Speaker 1: watch somebody's movie. You know. There was no laptop. There
- 55:44Speaker 1: was no like sometimes I can hit my laptop the
- 55:48Speaker 1: words speak and it'll read somebody's book to me and
- 55:51Speaker 1: I just sit and listen. But back then you actually
- 55:53Speaker 1: had to sit with Judith Light's autobiography and read it
- 55:58Speaker 1: before the interview the next day. And there was a
- 56:01Speaker 1: point where I wanted to act more. I did Harlem
- 56:04Speaker 1: Knights in the nighttime. I would do my show all
- 56:08Speaker 1: day and then shoot Harlem Knights at night and Charlomagne
- 56:12Speaker 1: I love to act, man, I love to act. I
- 56:14Speaker 1: wanted more time to pursue that people like people would
- 56:18Speaker 1: put me in movies as the talk show hosts, or
- 56:21Speaker 1: they would use clips. And they still do that, like
- 56:24Speaker 1: like recently there's a there's a mister mister Rogers movie
- 56:30Speaker 1: and they erased mister Rogers when I interviewed them back
- 56:33Speaker 1: in the day, and they put Tom Hanks in. They
- 56:35Speaker 1: can do stuff like that now, so my old interview
- 56:38Speaker 1: is in the movie, so I guess you could call
- 56:41Speaker 1: it typecasting. I wanted to act more and something else
- 56:45Speaker 1: that's really important for a man when it hits you.
- 56:49Speaker 1: I felt that every day doing this, I wanted a
- 56:53Speaker 1: kid man. I wanted to be a dad. I remember,
- 56:56Speaker 1: I remember the moment too. Magic had started coach and
- 57:00Speaker 1: he was coaching the Lakers, and Cookie Johnson let me
- 57:05Speaker 1: babysit EJ and take him to a game between the
- 57:09Speaker 1: Lakers and the Clippers. And EJ is watching the game
- 57:13Speaker 1: with me, and during halftime, I took EJ in the
- 57:16Speaker 1: back just to let him just give dad a hug.
- 57:19Speaker 1: And when I leaned over so he could kiss Irvin.
- 57:24Speaker 1: You know how a water balloon, you can't hold it
- 57:27Speaker 1: and go down on this side and go down on
- 57:29Speaker 1: that side of you know how a water balloon does.
- 57:31Speaker 1: That's how EJ start doing to get to his daddy
- 57:34Speaker 1: and to kiss his daddy and hold his daddy. And
- 57:36Speaker 1: he didn't want to let him coach the second half,
- 57:39Speaker 1: and there was a moment that I don't know how
- 57:41Speaker 1: to describe whether in the way I'm doing it, I
- 57:43Speaker 1: was that there's no love like the love of a
- 57:47Speaker 1: father and his son, a father and his daughter. That moment,
- 57:51Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't want kids as a matter
- 57:54Speaker 1: of fact. To be I'm gonna be honest with you.
- 57:55Speaker 1: I'm not gonna even say I didn't want kids. You
- 57:57Speaker 1: know how, when you don't make mistakes and you get
- 58:00Speaker 1: around and you haven't gotten somebody pregnant, you're worried. And
- 58:05Speaker 1: I went to a doctor. You know, I was like,
- 58:09Speaker 1: I ain't never got nobody to pregnant. And I mean
- 58:11Speaker 1: I used condoms and everything, but you suppose it slips
- 58:15Speaker 1: sometimes and I never had one of those situations. And
- 58:18Speaker 1: I went to a doctor and he said, I remember
- 58:20Speaker 1: the term. He said, I had slow swimmers. And I
- 58:23Speaker 1: didn't even ask him for more information because I was
- 58:25Speaker 1: just too embarrassing. I couldn't. I said, okay, whatever, because
- 58:27Speaker 1: I think that mean you're broke, you got slow swimmers,
- 58:30Speaker 1: And uh, it's all about God dog, not you, but
- 58:34Speaker 1: the other one. And and the bottom line is eventually
- 58:38Speaker 1: my girl got pregnant and my son was born, and
- 58:41Speaker 1: I spent the next twenty one years, you know, I
- 58:44Speaker 1: was that dad at every game, at every play, and
- 58:49Speaker 1: I tried to slide in and do work here and there,
- 58:52Speaker 1: but you can't do Hollywood part time. Hey, Austino, I
- 58:56Speaker 1: just want to tell you man, you loved, you, valued,

- 59:58Speaker 1: she's filling the team. This is the rum of rapport
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Obio Sound
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: or Radio is back now. Drake made that announcement on Twitter. Yes,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: he posted yesterday going live tonight at ten thirty pm
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: Eastern with the return of Obio Sound Radio on the
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: launch of our twenty four hours station Sound forty two,
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: a new experience on Serious XM. He also shared three
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: new songs on the Scary Hours to EP now. Here's
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: what Drake had to say about Certified Lover Boy and
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Scary Hours Too. I'm back in tip top form, so
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: you know that's a blessing, and CLB is currently being
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: cheft in every way possible, and I'm just I'm just
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: really excited about the music that we're making. I don't
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: have an exact date, but just no, it's it's it's
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: in a pot and it's coming soon. I wonder if
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: it's easier or harder for Drake to make music now.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: You would think, you know, it'd be easier because he's
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: playing with house money, because he's Drake. But sometime times
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: you set the ball so high that when you fall
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: short of what we're used to, you know, people critique harder.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: That's what I've been doing. So it's also it's good
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: to see him return to form. It's also inspirational. You
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: know a lot of times you get inspiration from different things.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: You trying to grow, you trying to get to that
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: next level. But when you're on that level, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: what do you rap about? I mean, it's good to
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: see him return the form on the three pack you dropped,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: like when he raps, he's one of the best. And
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: he's snapping on that Lemon Pepper freestyle and he said,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: these days famous disconnected from excellence. After time, I gotta
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: ask these is what their profession is, Jesus Christ usher
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: the generation and these it where my confessions live bars. Yeah,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: he's spitting all right. Well, the songs he put out
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: are What's Next once and Needs and Lemon Pepper freestyle.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: All right now music that you're hearing a hotel lobby
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: in La though. Huh, Well, I always gotta have something
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: to say about you. Just let him, let him live
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: and then you and then you gotta go left. And
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: when I when I when I gave him propers you'll
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: ain't saying nothing. But as soon as I say something
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: that y'all might perceive is negative, you look at y'all
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: necessary all right now, too Short has explained why his
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: song with Drake never came out. He was talking with
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: E forty for Hip Hop DX and here's what he
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: had to say. I was just about to do a
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: song with Drake. I feel like it might have happened.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: And then he got the thirteen Billboard Awards and nobody
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: answered the phone anymore. I was like that, just you know,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: I don't call it too many times. I just fell
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: back like damns the window. Drake old though, Drake. A
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: lot of Drake sound came from the Bay Area. Man,
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: so Drake, old man man, he got busy right all
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: right now. Space Jam a new legacy, according to the
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: director Malcolm Deeley. He says this new one will be
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: even better than the nineteen ninety six original. He said,
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: it's a better movie than Space Jam. He told Entertainment
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: Weekly lebron has that has got that going for him.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: He said, if you say theatrical movie Space Jam is it?
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: You know he just whacked that movie out right, you know,
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: he literally just made the movie whack. We gotta stop
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: doing that. When you compare something to the original, people
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: go win. Thinking, Okay, I'm waiting for this to be
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: better than the first Space Jam and when it's not
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: the nail say things like, oh, the movie is why
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: you know what I call that? I call that minth
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: Bleak in somebody sleuthor Bleak. I love Bleak. But when
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: jay Z said mith Bleak is the new improved with me,
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: he said bleak up for failure because Bleak is good,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: but he not whole. I mean, nobody's whole. But what
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: part twos are better? Though? There has to be a
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: part two that was better than the part one? Boy
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Bad Boys Bad was Bad Boys. I mean, yeah, are
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: equally as good? Yeah, I would say equally as good. Equally.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: I think Nightmare and three Part three was really good.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: I liked it better than the first. I see, I
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: don't do hard movie. I don't pay people. Which sequel
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: was better than the first? I gotta think about though.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: All right, well that is your rumor report what you
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: keep thinking anymore? We gotta go, guys, rumor report Charlotte.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: We're giving that dog two. Oh man, we need uh

- 1:04:51Speaker 1: state of Florida. The craziest people in America come from
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: the Bronx and all of Florida. I love the state
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: of Florida, but we would be playing ourselves if we
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: didn't recognize that the state of Florida is operating on
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: a different frequency than the rest of the world. Not
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: too many things in Florida makes sense, well, at least
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: not to the rest of us on the outside looking in.
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: And this is one of those times. See the Tampa
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: Police Department fired Delvin White key word White for violations
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: of policy that prohibit discriminatory conduct. So Delvin White key
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: word White clearly did something to discriminate against someone. Well,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: what did Delvin White keyword White do. Let's go to
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: WTSPCBS team for the report. Police Tampa's police union is
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: fighting to reinstate a police officer fired for using the
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: N word on the job. The union says the punishment
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: was too harsh. Police say the language violates community trust
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: and was enough to fire eight year vet Devlin White,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: who worked as a school resource officer at Middleton. Devin
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: White keyword White was fired for being caught on body
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: camera saying on a phone call to a young woman

- 1:07:18Speaker 1: out the police union is fighting to reinstate a black
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: police officer fired for using the N word on the job.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Hold on, play it again, WTSP CBS ten. I think
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: v and Angelie, you were wrong playing again. Tampa's police
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: union is fighting to reinstate a black police officer fired
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: for using the N word on the job. Y'all were wrong.
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: That was too easy. Delvin White is black and he
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: was fired for using the N word. Now can we
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: hear how he used the N word in context? Please?
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: You think you're going to jail now? Nigga? Now let's say. Now,
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: let's discuss. I play it one more time, Play it
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: one more time. You're going to jail? Downing Listen. The
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: Tampa Police Benevolent Association said yesterday that they are standing
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: with Devin White in fighting the department's firing. Let me
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: read the statement from Tampa Police Benevolent Association spokesman Danny Alvarez.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: He said, we stand with the City of Tampa and
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: the Tampa Police Department in their efforts to stamp out
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: racism in every form and condemn any and all derogatory
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: statements in our out of uniform. But the facts in
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: the Delvin White matter do not reflect and act are
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: any intent that larrants the punishment he received for his
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: alleged transgression. Charlottagne and to god Leonardo mckelvy, Uncle Sharla
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: absolutely agrees. Let me tell you something. We live in
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: a country while a black person is three times more
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: likely to be killed by police during the police accounted
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: than a white person. We live in a country where
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: black people are more likely to be arrested and more
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: likely to receive a longer prison sent this than a
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: white person convicted of the same crime. We are more
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: likely to be profiled than white people. Police historically do
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: whatever the hell they want with us in this country,
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you want to fire
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: a black man for using the N word in context.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. There's a thing called cultural competency,
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: and when you're from a certain environment, you speak the
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: language of that environment. Of course, a black police officer
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: in Tampa is going to use the N word. Devin
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: White keyword White was raised in the East Tampa community,
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: had nasty environment that he chose to protect every day.
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: Don't nobody know how to talk the language of the
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: community better than a person who's from that. By the way,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: that's what we need. That's what we want. We need
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: policing that is for us and by us. Do you know,
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: Devin White also told investigators, yeah, I use the N word.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: And he used the N word while making an arrest
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: in November, and he used the N word twice while
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: arresting an uncooperative mail for trust passing. Let me hear
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: that little clip again of him on the body, can
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: my head you're gonna tell my nigga. Yes, he probably
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: put handcuffs on a brother when he was being uncooperative
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: because he knows him, probably even the property he was
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: trust passing on and was given the dude the stern
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: talking to and telling him you're going to jail now, nigga. Okay,
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: I can guarantee you, with no facts our evidence to
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: back this up, that a white person in the Tampa
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: Police Department called the black person the N word before
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: are displayed some other form of racism, because the whole
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: law enforcement system is one of the most racist systems
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: you know, period. The two most racist systems in America
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: are probably law enforcement in the medical system. I guarantee
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: you some police officer use those words or was racist
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: in worse ways and nothing happened to them. Okay, Tampa
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: Bay Police Department. I don't know who you're trying to fool,
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: but You didn't fire Devin White because he used the
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: word nigga. You're fired Devin White because in your eyes,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: he is a nigga. Okay, Tampa Bay Police Department, give
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: this man, Devin White, his job back. Okay, all right,
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: give the man his job back. All Right, y'all know,
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: good and damn well, that man was not using the
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: N word in whatever context y'all thought he was using
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: it in. Okay, Devin White was using it, you know,
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: the way you use it when you have folks from
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: the community, police in the community. All Right, You're just
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: gonna have to understand there as a language barrier that
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: y'all gonna have to overcome. And it's simple. We use
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: the N word, y'all don't and we shouldn't use the
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: N word either. But that's a conversation we need to
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: have in private at the next secret Black people meeting.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: In the meantime, please let him give the Tampa Police
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Department the biggest he haw he haw, he ha. You
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: stupid motherfuck? Are you dumb? I just want you to
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: know that you're over your nigga quota for the day.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: That's what you want you to know that you just
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: said it so you made me go over. I made
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: you go over, you made me go up. I was fine, allow,
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: I'm allowed ten per every five minutes. White man, just contract.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: That was not well. Guess what I need a white
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: man to tell me that I can't use still word
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: and you gotta say it. He can't. So you can't
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: say that word? What word? Say what word? And I'll say,
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: I don't know exactly because if you say any word,
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Nancy noodles, nutmeg, Okay, naughty by nature?
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: All right, man, shout to that cop man too. Man,
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: he's doing this thing. That's what that's what we want.
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: We want somebody from our community to police us, that's
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: going to talk to us and be from our community.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: Right if he'd have been like, excuse me, sir, you
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: know you're going to jail. No, No, you wanted somebody
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: that that we know that's from our community. That's what
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: we've been saying, right, that's what we've been screaming for,
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: we've been crying for. Right, give Devin White his job back.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: Absolutely all right now when we come back, Anderson Pack

- 1:13:25Speaker 1: how we say it together. Where did some honest musicians
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: that still play instruments, still listen to Marvin Gay, Stevie
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: Wanner and stuff? And there's only a few people like that.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: So when you find it, you just you just gotta

- 1:13:45Speaker 1: that's incredible. He heard the song. He heard the song,
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: and so we need a name, you know, Bootsy Collins
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: name baby Face. I didn't know that whole baby Face
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: on mind if you don't mind, if I tell her Bude.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: Baby Face was in the studio and Bootsy Collins walks
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: in and he's in the studio with a bunch of
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: his friends. He looks at he looks at the time,
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: he's Kenny Edmonds. Boots He looks at him and says,
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: what's up a baby face? And the whole studio starts laughing.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: The next day they have a show and the guy
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: introduces him as Kenny Edmonds and he got the golf
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: clap and as a joke, the very next night he
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: goes ladies and gentlemen baby Face and the girls start
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: freaking out. And I hope I didn't box that story. Face,
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: But that's that's the story. The way do you walk
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: in the studio and say, hey, Silk Sonic, No, no, no,
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: we played him the song. We sent them the record.
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: And when that's hosted by Bootsy Collins, what other involvement
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: does he have in the album. He's gonna be narrating
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: this whole album. Try to put a show together, and
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: we call it the set list of Doom. Okay, well,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: let me ask all the pluck to him when he said,
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: y'all a silk toning, y'all didn't ask what that means.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: Y'all just you can't really question the ogez, you know,
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: like you only get a few, you know, moments with them.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: So he kind of just have to run with that.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: And uh, I liked it. I think it fit with
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: the music, and you know, it sounded cool when he
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: said it, so it was like, that's what it seems like,
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: a five heartbeats type of vibe or something like that.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: I got nothing but for you, hey either. Hey, we
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: was arguing this morning, which one of y'all is a

- 1:16:42Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't know, but I don't.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: I don't want no problems. I don't want to collum Now.
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: I think Bruno as you also got yourself an alter ego, right,
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: you're designing class Ye. I don't wants calling it an
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: altar ego. It's kind of it's weird. But fashion designer
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: slash mystery man. Yeah, no, um riquet, what do you
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: call it? La Cost approached me. I've been fortunate to
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: have been asked to do collaborations before with other companies,
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: but it always came with like guidelines. La Cost was
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: the only company that was, like Bruno, you could do
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: whatever you want. So, you know, Bruno Mars like, that's
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: like tour merch and that's who that's that's me on stage.
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: I gotta be a designer. And that's where Ricky Rigo
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: came up. Because I don't want to wear the clothes.
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: I don't want to wear clothes. That says Bruno Mars
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: on it now now, Bruno, the other barbershop debate we
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: was having was if you did do it versus and
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: you battled the weekend. Oh, I said to Charlomagne. You
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: heard me the first time I said Bruno over the weekend.
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: I said that, Oh, come on, what do you think say?
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's no branding. I'm not to say,
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: come on, don't do that, Charlemagne, don't do that. Don't
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: do that. You know, we know what you're doing. We
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: know what you're doing. I don't, can't anybody to the toe.
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: But then I backed out immediately. That was me. I
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: got the shop, but then I backed out immediately. Now, Bruno,
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: question why you came that woman out of one hundred
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: thousand dollars? Damn? Why are you doing that? Bruno? You
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: got that board during the pandemic making the album with
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: Andrewhon wasn't another I was some money man. I had
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: to skip down to pass it. I put a lot
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: on the on the spurs that night. It didn't really
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: come through for me. He was over extended. You know. Listen,
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: do you know her name? Yeah? I don't think they
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: put her name out there. But all right, well, whoever
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: you are, I'm so sorry. And stay off the internet.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: That's all you come on, Bruno, Stay off the internet.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: It's treacherous, it's treacherous. Out of the game. But Bruno,
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: what do you think when you heard that story? Though?
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: I mean, look, I have family members that thought I
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: was actually talking to them on Facebook, and you know,
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: like this is my uncle's and my aunts. He's like
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: they really thought it was me talking to them, So
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: I don't blame her. I just I just say to
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: everyone out there and be careful because that's a different world.
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: It ain't the real world out there. Don't send money nobody,
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: but there's nobody's sending money and it's in pac or Bruno.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Mars is so sonic. Now have you ever had a situation,
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: either one of you, where you thought you were talking
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: to somebody online and you got catfish, like maybe a
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: collaboration you were trying to pig and it was not
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: the person you thought it was. Well, it happens all
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: the time. I called the same person like with the
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: same you know, first name, and as you realize thirty
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: minutes in the Saint, this ain't the earl that I wanted.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: I got a chance rich all right, I'll let you later. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I always know who I'm talking to. Now,
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: you know, y'all think the tweet outs that y'all was,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: you know, doing an album, doing a song. Everybody's talking
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: about it. There's marketing and promotion from record labels. Even
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: matter when you get to a certain point in your career,
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: does it still matter? Yeah, because we hope that the
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: Breakfast Club is gonna champion for the song. That's why
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: we want to sit down and talk to y'all. Make
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: sure that you guys champion for these out of work musicians.
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: Brand that y'all gonna play his record. But this didn't
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: is like an easy way to do it. I mean,
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: you stay here for a day, you do twenty interviews.
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: You ain't. You ain't gonna go to Oh no, it's
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: different though, a lot much rather be there with y'all

- 1:21:14Speaker 1: the pictures of his wife and kids when he was
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: You understand me, well, now it makes sense, Bruno, why
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: you seem so level headed and so like just humble,
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Because you got that stability.
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: Appreciate that all we got more with Silk Sonic when
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: we come back as Anderson Pack and Bruno Mars. Now

- 1:21:39Speaker 1: was Bruce Leroy because they were trying to They didn't
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: want the name of the song to go out. Maybe
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: all right, well let's get into it. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: Good Morning. That was leave the Door Open, Bruno Mars,
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: Anderson pact. They are Heim good Morning, we are the
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Now let's get back to the off you
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: sell them me and what's something? Uh? You know Bruno
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: was stronger than you at and vites A versus Bruno.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: What's something? Can I take this one? Let me just
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: take this one when I'm stronger than him at boy
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: know how to bed man? I'm telling you man, he
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: got like, you know, you know what's gonna hit? What's
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: going on? He got like a sixth sense. You know.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: I'm more like, oh, let me see, I don't know
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: it could go this way? Feeling it out there. He
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: got like a spidy sense like nah, we gotta hit this. No,
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: we gotta do this progression. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: This is gonna get us to this money in that.
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: There's some magic in that. This that's his favorite thing.
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: You know. This is the math on that. What about you, Bruno?
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: What's something Anderson stronger than you? At the exact opposite
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: of what he said. I grew up with some old
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: school producers that was really hard in the studio to
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: work with because they understand how to get to a
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: certain place that they want to go. And I grew
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: up watching that and seeing that, and I've seen some
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: horrible things, but I've seen them that turn into magic.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: Anderson is give me the drumsticks, you know, turn on
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: the mic. So he's got this freedom. That's how he
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: finds his groove. And I'm a little and I'm a
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: little more like, all right, well maybe if I play
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: this chord and then I do this, and then I
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I also like to like bounce around
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: like we're gonna do the song. You know, we work
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: on it for four or five hours, and then let's
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: let's jump to something else, you know, or let's let's
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: let's touch on this. This dude is obsessed. He's gonna
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: be working on the same damn song for two years
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: just because there's magic in the hook. He knows that,
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: and it's like an obsession, bro, And like we can
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: work on something all day and we come back, you know,
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: I'll be like, man, it's a sicky like, nah, it
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: ain't good. We went we made a left turn here,
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: we need to go right right here, And yeah, we
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: work all day on it. Again. It's crazy work. I
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: thick and I told her Andy, it's like it's nothing
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: to brag about. I wish I could just go and
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: just have you know, some ansors, but it just takes up.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: It takes, like I said, it takes a lot for
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: me to feel like, all right, it's done. In this
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: first single. That took a lot. Yeah, and we couldn't
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: be prouder. I want to ask Bruno. You know, Bruno,
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: you know people love to accuse you of being a
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: cultural thief, which I find interesting because you are a
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: person of color. What would you say to those people?
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: I would say, you can't look at an interview. You
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: can't find an interview where I am not talking about
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: the entertainers that have come before me. And the only
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: reason why I'm here is because of James Brown is
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: because of Prince Michael. That's the only reason why I'm here.
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: I'm growing up as a kid watching Bobby Brown saying, Okay,
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: if that's what it takes to make it, then I
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: gotta learn how to do the running, man. I gotta
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: learn how to do the moonwalk. I said, And this
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: music comes from love. If you can't hear that, then
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. When I
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: saw you shout out Teddy Riley and the New Jack's
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: Swing movement at the Grammys, I was like, all right,
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: that's homage, you know what I mean? When you won
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: that the award, I was like, Okay, here, it's the truth.
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: There's no it's like, it's not a it's not a secret.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Like I said, we were in the inspiration on a sleeve.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: What is the point if we If us as musicians
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: can't learn from the guys that have come before us,
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: why did they do it? And I hope later on
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: down the road there's gonna be a band that's taking
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: what we did and flipping that and freaking that and
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: putting their own spin on it. Because if they don't,
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: then what was the point of us doing this? If
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: we playing basketball. If you can't learn from Michael Jordan,
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: what was the point of him doing that? Why can't
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: you take oh, why can't you learn all these tricks
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: that this man did the greatest of all time and
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: learn how he did uh this three point or this
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: uh fade away, which Kobe did exactly exactly and as
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: he should, because that's the blueprint. This man showed you
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: how to do it. Does that criticism pish you off? Now?
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: It comes with the gig and I and this this
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: real merit to what people are saying about black entertainer's
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: not getting their flowers, you know, and and I'm I'm
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: I'm I'm champion with that. I'm with that. But it's
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: more so I guess at the time when it kind
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: of popped off on the Internet, I was looking in
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: the manor like, what am I not seeing? Where is this?
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: Where is this pass that I that I do? I
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: have to see ass that I don't know about it?
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: And where can I get this pass? Because like I
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: use something for me and my friends. You know, at
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: the time, it was that was it, But I understand
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: and it's just it's just it's Twitter. Yeah, have you
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: adjusted to being a superstar man. Nah, it's not because
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: I don't. I just do music, that's all since I
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: was a baby, and I don't look at myself as
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: a superstar. So all I want to do is doing music.
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: And to me, success is doing what you love. And
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: I love doing music and I love being able to
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: provide for my family doing what I love. Where's the
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: last time you've been to a strip club? Show him?
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: You know, he came to Jersey Girls with me one day.
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: That was a long time, definitely right. I was surprised
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: he woke in there. I don't even think I was.
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: I don't think I was of age. I think I
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: showed him a Blockbuster car and guy was a yeah,
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: you're good. Come on. You know it has been a
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: pandemic and I know you guys have been ripping and
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: running for years now, and I really had a chance
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: to sit down. Was there an upside to actually having
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: some time to maybe not have to be on tour
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: and doing all of that? Did you learn anything new
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: about yourselves? Slowing down with special because you get to
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: hold onto this energy and we're in the world that's
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: going so fast, so fast that this, uh, sometimes you
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: gotta take a break and I think Quarantine forced everybody
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: to unplug a little bit and reevaluate what's important in life.
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: And I think it's why we're rolling out this album
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: the way we're rolling it out. We don't want one
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: week of trending on Twitter and you know we've we
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: worked too hard for that. We want to drop these
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: songs one at a time and read the room. Yeah.
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: I like this energy, man. I like the energy between y'all.
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: I really do. It's like a cool buddy cop like, yeah,
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: it's something there. Man. Why do y'all name the first
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: single Bruce Lee Roy? We see we still sign me,
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: but we couldn't name the fan Bruce Lee and whooping
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: your ass? Whooping your ass. I now shout to Bruno
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: Mars and Anderson Pack for joining us today. Make sure
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: you stream and pick up the joint that new single,
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: leave the Door Open. Now, we got rumors on the way, yes,
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: and let's talk about new music. There's a lot happening
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: this Friday, all right, we'll get into that next. It's
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, Go Mornings, the Breakfast Club Husband, you
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: know coming up next on the Breakfast Club. Now, before
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: we even get into that, I just want to point
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: out that now Facebook streams of music videos will officially
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: count toward the Billboard charts. Well, that's something new, and
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: it's a big deal. Artists deserve recognition and music charts
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: for the social capital they drive and the social discovery
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: they fuel. That's with the VP of Business Development and
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: Partnerships at Facebook had to say so, adding music video
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: plays on Facebook to the Billboard charts is an important
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: step in the right direction. I concurd you too already
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: does there? Right? Ye? All right, Now, let's discuss some
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: new music. We already talked about Drake a whole lot
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: in his three pack that came out. But let's play
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: the one time we haven't been playing on the radio,
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: and that is a Lemon Pepper freestyle featuring Rick Ross.
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: Dropped them off in school, big day for my little
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: man recess. His daddy probably made another hymn school bell
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Rings and I'm out there and get him again. Yeah,
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: teach a pair of media's wilds g Willia, regardless of
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: what their husbands do to provide asking if I know
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: Beyonce and Nicki Minaj, of course, pull up to the
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: front and a fleet of suburbans flooded French emergiment with
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: the Secret Service. This so obviously to treat the purpose.
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when Drake raps, he's one of the best.
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: You know what I mean, that's what I want. I
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: want to I want an album you know, full of
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: Drake rapping. I mean, he can do that now, Like
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: you know, he's already Drake, he's home already, like me,
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: let me hit him bars. People don't matter what you want,
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: it matter what he wants to do. Well, I'm just
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: telling what I want. I mean, I like. I like
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: that versatility though, because you know, as a consumer as well.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: I like when he sings too. I like those songs also,
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: it's a mood, so I like a variety of it.
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: I like how like Lauren. We were just talking about
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: Lauren hill Um. I had this conversation with Danielle Smith
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: about how she was singing Anna rapping, how dope that was,
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: And I feel like he does the same thing. I
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: could write a whole thesis on that one line. These days,
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: fame is disconnected from excellence half the time, I gotta
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: ask the thinking what their profession is like. That is
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: very true, favoring excellent excellence and not synonymous with each
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: other at all. Now, as we just pointed out to
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: Sonic put out their first song leave the Door Open.
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: That's Bruno Mars and Anderson Pack Tyler the creator tell
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: me how it's Coca Cola commercial. Also Clever Her featuring
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: Juice World and Post Malone. Life's a Mess. Sweetie put
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: out the Best Friend's Remix with Doja Cat and stephlon Don.
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: I like that song. She's also giving away a Tesla
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: by the way, so there's a whole thing going on.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: I think you have like a month, a little month
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: and a half left if you want to win a
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: free Tesla from Sweetie Young Dolphin key Glock ask Benji Herbo,
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: I really like that and break yourself, Baby Kim, this
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: is dope, no sense you do you celebrate? What's your
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: friendsty what's your friend style? What's your man? Stop? They
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: don't let me catch your mama hands Doyle, it's a
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: thousand always a miss, understand up, it's a thousand always
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: that we can make a man stop and drop on
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: a clues boss with Baby Kane, Baby Kame, so dope.
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: We don't put me on Baby Kam Actually little Dickey,
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: Little Dickey, puby old baby Kam some years ago. He
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: was just like, are you should listening to Baby Keene
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: Baby Kames. I was like, Kendrick if he was doing
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: trap music, Baby ki Yea and they're related to, right,
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: isn't that his cousin or something? And I think I
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: think he's signed to Kendrick now, Kendrick and Dave Free.
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: I think on quote Baby keeping it low, you know,
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: and Pop Smoke Fashion featuring Polo g from the Boogie
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: soundtrack and Pop Smokes No Cap featuring M twenty four
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: of the remix from the Boogie soundtrack. Also a new album,
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: Some Little Dirk from OTF and K Camp's Crew, which
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: is rare sound squad. They did like a deluxe album,
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: a deluxe edition of their album Tory Lane's Playboy, a
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: whole lot of new music. I can't even get to
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: all of it, but I just wanted to give you
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: guys just some previews of what's happening. I want to
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: salute the Tink too man. Tink put out a record
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: called Bottom oh Man that sounds so dope. Yes, Tink
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: bottom Bitch. I love tanks music. Yeah. I love like
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: how she's early early early. Her music sounds way different
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: now though not really. She's just gotten better. Like Tink,
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: been one of my favorite artists since Timberland introduced me
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: to it, and she never stops working and she's just
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: only gotten better. Her sound is just evolved. But it's
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: just a matter of time for Tink to pop off.
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: I saw JT from the City Girls shot in the
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: Rocks and she can't wait to collaborate with her on
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: the next project. And Cardi was big in her up
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: last week, so it's only a matter. Yeah, I think
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: this is Tin Sierra. I believe, I hope. So she's
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: still so sure. No, she didn't part of it to me.
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: All right now, Envy, this story is for you. We
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: had to make sure we get to this. So Chris
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: Harrison from The Bachelor, he wants to go back to
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: hosting The Bachelor franchise, and he had to backtrack on
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: some remarks that he made. He had to take a hiatus.
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: He made a mistake talking to Rachel Lindsay about some
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: photos that surface of another Bachelor contestant Rachel at a
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Antebellum South party. Here's what the original audio was.
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: We all need to have a little grace, a little
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: understanding a little compassionate. It's not a good well, Rachel,
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: is it a good look in twenty eighteen or is
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: it not a good look in twenty twenty one. Who
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: how'd you feel when you heard that envy? I mean
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: it was foul. I mean, this is the thing with
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: people like that. When he first made a death statement,
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: he doubled down, and he tripled down on what he said,
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: and when he got the backlash, then all of a sudden,
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I was wrong. That was foul. Like
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: it is what it is. That's what you believe, that's
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: what you honestly believe. Stick with you. Well, he was
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: on Good Morning America, and here he is taking accountability.
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: I am saddened and shocked at how insensitive I was
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: in that interview with Rachel Lindsay. And I didn't speak
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: from my heart, and that is to say, I stand
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: against all forms of racism, and I am deeply sorry.
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: I am not a victim here. I made a mistake
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: and I own that. Yeah, he takes accountability because he
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: got all the backlash and almost lost his job. That's
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: the reason why he's taking the back of you know,
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: the accountability. But he doubled the people down when he
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: did that. Innyview, well, Rachel Lindsay is saying she does
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: accept his apology because it's what she needs to do
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: to move forward with her life. She said she has
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: not spoken to Chris directly since his Good Morning America interview,
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: but she did watch it, and she did tell less
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: they spoke about three weeks ago when it first happened,
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: and he apologized directly then too, So that's what she
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: told TMZ. And I feel bad for Rachel Man because
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: they've been attacking her. They've been, you know, they have
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: threatening her, they've been sending her death threats and all that.
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: And all she did was did all she did was
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: do a great interview. So shout to Rachel. I don't
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: know anything about what you're talking about, but I think
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: it's hilarious when people don't accept other people's apologies. I
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: think it's incredible because there's nothing funnier than watching the
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: person who apologized. Do you accept my apologies? And process? No,
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: what do you do? But when you apologize, you got
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: it got to be from the heart, like you really
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: got to understand it. You can't just apologize because you're
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: getting backlash and party is it Rachel Lindsay Van Lathan's
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: co host Yes on his podcast, Yes Higher Learning Podcast,
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: because I saw him talking about them attacking her shout
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: the Van Van stood up for her. Man. I appreciate
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: that he really held it down. Man, you care about
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: the Bachelor. You don't care about no damn Rachel, No,
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: I do. I mean, I love my people and I
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: want my people to win. And I love the fact
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: that you did try to get Chris Harrison's job too.
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: Oh you did? You did? You? I was joking serious,

- 1:38:22Speaker 1: so this weekend. Nicki Walton, she's a licensed psychotherapist. He's
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: a TV personality. She has curly Nicki dot Com. She's
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: a best selling author Better than Good Hair, and she
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: has a b her summit that she put together that
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: is happening this weekend that is to empower and celebrate women.
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: So listen to this. It's Women's History Month and we're
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: celebrating the most influential women in history. Check out this
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: phenomenal walk. So, as you know, this is Women's History
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: Month and I'm highlighting powerful women all month. And one
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: person I wanted to bring to the front is Nicky Walton,
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: a kid Curly Nikki, And as she does have a
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: semit happening this weekend, we'll talk about that, but first
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: I want Nikki to just talk about who she is,
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: a best selling author, license psychotherapist, all of that. Yes, Yes,
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: So I started curly nikki dot com back in two
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: thousand and eight. I managed to get myself on the
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: Tyra Banks Show and this website took off tremendously in
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: a very short time. I was sharing my story, my
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: journey to self love from self hate. I didn't like
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: my hair, I didn't like my skin, and I just
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: I wanted to learn to love myself for who I
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: really was. And as I continued that journey and continued
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: sharing it became a phenomenon, and I wrote a best
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: selling book with HarperCollins. In twenty thirteen, I began working
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: with Steve Harvey with Doctor Oz. I continue to work
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: with Doctor Oz to this day, sharing about outer beauty.
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: But during that whole time, during that rise, during my
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: peak of success with Curly Nikki dot Com, I wasn't happy.
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: I had everything that they told me I was supposed
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: to have to be happy, but I wasn't. Family, house,
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: nice car, the career, the success, bestseller's list, but I
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: didn't feel fulfilled, and every day kind of felt the same.
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: I felt stuck, I felt stagnant, and I actually I
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: called Tracy Ellis Ross sobbing weeping one day because I'm like,
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: there must be more, there has to be more to
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: life than just this, and She's like, you can't just
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: wad like in the kiddie pool. You have to go
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: deeper in your journey, your true journey, your inner journey. Yes,
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: you love yourself more, your physical self more, but you
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: have to find out what is also there. So it
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: was like mid twenty thirteen when I went deeper and
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: I started reading at Cartole, Power of Now and Michael
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: Singer and then about six hundred more books, six hundred
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: more authors. I traveled the world, Yeah, traveled the world,
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: all over the world, from Brazil to Africa to Spain,
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: trying to find happiness, true peace inside, and I finally did,
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: and I could see that no matter what temple I
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: was in, what plane, I was on, what street I
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: was walking down, that peace was already always here. And
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: so I started sharing about that on Instagram and on
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: curly Nikki dot com, this hair blog that never really
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: was just about hair and was always an inner journey
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: to freedom. But I began sharing reluctantly this piece because
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: I wanted to help the women that look like me
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: find the same freedom that I was finding. And I
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: knew I was free for real when I was with
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: my grandmother, who was my best friend in the whole
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: white world, and she was taking her last breath, and
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: that was like the moment that I had dreaded my
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: whole life. And so I'm there in that moment, and
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: the piece was there too, even though there was grief,
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: I could fill that piece in the background. And so
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: I began sharing and under the hashtag be her Now,
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: and it became a very powerful hashtag. Many women got
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: it tattooed on them thousands of dms, where these very
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: successful entrepreneurial women CEOs of companies are messaging me like
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: I'm not happy. How can I find this piece inside?
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: And yeah, that is my journey, and it's the journey
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: that I know. We all have our different paths, but
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: we're going to the same destination, which is recognizing that
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: we have everything we need in us already and that
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: this piece is always already here. So first, let's start
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: with hair, right as a representation, because I think so
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: many women, especially black women, we have issues with our hair.
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: I know, growing up, I used to hate that my
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: hair was curly. It was crazy all the time. I
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: didn't know what to do with it. And so I
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: do want to talk about how hair is a representation
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: of not just something superficial like people might think, because
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: people have a lot of things to say about our hair.
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: It's of course, you know, yeah, just culturally how we're viewed.
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: How you have to even have the crown act right,
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: because women are looked a different way in the workspace
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: if you have a certain type of hair. Ado, So
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: let's talk about that a little bit and just how
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: you got to that journey where you were able to
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: embrace your hair because your hair is amazing and beautiful.
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: I love it. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I did not,
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: and I actually never had a relax or growing up.
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: It was always present curl, but it was always wait.
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: It was always present curled until I got to college.
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: But it was an all white school. There were no
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: black stylus up there, and I was left on my own.
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: But I didn't like the fact that I was always
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: concerned about my hair. So knowing that I knew I
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: had to take control of learning about it because we
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: weren't taught how to care for our hair. But to
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: be able to feel just as confident and comfortable and
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: beautiful with your own hair, no matter if it's pulled
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: back or out and curly or you have it straightened,
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: that's a powerful place to be. Now, let's discuss you
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: and how you felt like you were unhappy, and I
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: feel you on that right. You had a best selling
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: better than Good Hair girl. You got everything, you got
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: this going on, and you feel like you should be happy,
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: and then you feel a little ungrateful that you're not,
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: and you're like, like there's people who aren't doing what
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: they want to do. There's people who are out there struggling.
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: How dare I be ungrateful? So talk about how you
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: came to that realization and what you did to kind
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: of overcome that. Yeah, you know, I love that you
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: touched on like that ungratefulness, because for me, I would
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: hear like, okay, practice gratitude, practice gratitude. I had a journal,
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: and I never felt grateful, like genuine gratitude. It always
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: felt forced, and I knew that that was a major problem.
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: And as I went deeper and would sit, I would
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: meditate girl for like two three hours a day, and
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: I was blessed enough to have a lifestyle to be
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: able to read all the time and meditate all the time.
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: And I started seeing that true gratitude is not a
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: human quality, it's a soul quality, It's a God quality.
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: So the more I got quiet and tapped into that
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: more quiet place within that natural gratitude, that natural compassion,
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: like true love, God love, just started coming from that place.
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden, it wasn't like I
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: was forcing myself to be grateful for the beautiful opportunities
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: that had been given. It was I'm grateful in this
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: moment for goodwifi to be able to speak with you.
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: I'm grateful for you know this microphone, you know that's
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: delivering my voice in you know this chair that's supporting me.
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: So like coming into the present moment is what helped me.
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: I just had to recognize it and practice it in
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: every moment and then it becomes your lifestyle. And it's
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: just as natural now for me to feel grateful as
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: it was for me to feel ungrateful ten years ago.
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: So right now, there are so many people going through
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: so many different things, and it has been hard for
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: people to take care of themselves. We have a lot
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: of stress in our minds. So let's talk about why
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: this summit it will be beneficial and what's happening at
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: this be Her Summit. And so the be Her Summit
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: is shifting, helping women shift into this and staying here,
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: staying her the best version, the whole version of yourself,
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: and the summit is going to take five entry points,
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: recovering creativity, spirituality, entrepreneurship, beauty and wellness, meeting people wherever
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: they are, wherever their passions lie. But the threat that's
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: tying it all together is that you are recognizing your
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: wholeness and that you have everything you need within you already.
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: You're just opening out a way for it to get
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: out here in the world. And I would love, I
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: would absolutely love for every woman that comes to the
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: Summit to recognize that she is already free and it's
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: just our thoughts that keep us feeling trapped, that keep
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: us feeling small, and so stepping out of that box.
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: That's what we're doing on Saturday, March sixth, All day
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: we're practicing. It's a mini retreat where we're practicing all
