- 2:59Speaker 1: He had had a kickball game, its first annual kickball game.
- 3:03Speaker 1: And what it was was it was Dominican bro I mean,
- 3:07Speaker 1: I just played kickball against Dane's team. Nah, we did
- 3:11Speaker 1: it because hand now you're stupid. There's so many people
- 3:14Speaker 1: that are into whether it's credit, into real estate, into
- 3:17Speaker 1: generational wealth, into financial literacy. It was just a bunch
- 3:20Speaker 1: of people that are in that space so that you
- 3:23Speaker 1: can actually talk to people. So e y L shout
- 3:25Speaker 1: out to the Brothers Marinia Legia. They had a team.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Season had a team. I had a team, the Credit Dude,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and we just had a huge kickball game. We bodied yl.
- 3:33Speaker 1: It was my team versus Yo Body, Richard and Troy
- 3:36Speaker 1: Body them. They was out. We actually did lose, but
- 3:40Speaker 1: it was just a good fo it was. It was
- 3:43Speaker 1: a tournament, so you know, we beat them out and
- 3:46Speaker 1: then I finally lost. It doesn't matter loss. Yeah, we
- 3:48Speaker 1: did lose, but it was a good time because we
- 3:51Speaker 1: people were able to ask questions about real estate. Yeah,
- 3:54Speaker 1: because it was a whole event, so not every team
- 3:56Speaker 1: was playing at the same time. So while two teams
- 3:58Speaker 1: are playing, other people are just walked around talking to people,
- 4:00Speaker 1: and then two more teams are playing and then you're
- 4:02Speaker 1: talking to people, so they people got a chance to
- 4:04Speaker 1: to get the knowledge that they needed to ask questions
- 4:07Speaker 1: about whether it was credited or real estate, or stocks
- 4:10Speaker 1: or crypto or whatever it may be, which was pretty dope.
- 4:12Speaker 1: An event was free, so it was no no charge
- 4:15Speaker 1: or nothing like that. It was just a giftback event.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So it was pretty dope. Yesterday, man, when we played
- 4:19Speaker 1: Danielle's team, it was the Streets versus the Creeks, and
- 4:22Speaker 1: my team was the Streets. We killed Diana, but Danielle
- 4:25Speaker 1: injured himself early on in the game. He pulled something
- 4:28Speaker 1: so he couldn't even play. Yes, excluding my guys Uil though. Man.

- 5:00Speaker 1: So let's talk about Brittney Grinder. She will testify in
- 5:03Speaker 1: a Russian court as her trial continues, to tell you
- 5:06Speaker 1: about the message that she sent to her partner, My man,
- 5:09Speaker 1: young dogs pace Dolf brother would have been thirty seven
- 5:13Speaker 1: years older. Day. Brother didn't even really get to live, man,
- 5:16Speaker 1: dropping a koof bombs for a young dog foo. That's
- 5:18Speaker 1: why I've never understanding people who will lie about the
- 5:21Speaker 1: age of high day age every year is truly a
- 5:23Speaker 1: blessing man. Absolutely, her brother would have been only thirty
- 5:26Speaker 1: seven years older. Day. Imagine thirty, you know, a young
- 5:29Speaker 1: thirty seven is come on, man? All right, well, let's
- 5:32Speaker 1: get in some front page news. What we're starting easy,
- 5:35Speaker 1: all right, Well, Brittany Grinder is expected to testify in
- 5:38Speaker 1: a Russian courtroom today. It's part of her ongoing trial
- 5:41Speaker 1: on drug charges. She's facing, as you know, up to
- 5:44Speaker 1: ten years in prison. So they did confirm that she
- 5:49Speaker 1: is testifying and prosecutors will also have the opportunity to
- 5:52Speaker 1: question her. She pleaded guilty at the court near Moscow
- 5:55Speaker 1: earlier this month. The decision that the defense hopes will
- 5:57Speaker 1: be taken into account by the court and perhaps give
- 6:00Speaker 1: her a less severe sentence. You're really dragging this, I mean,
- 6:04Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. It was just a vague cartridge Russia. Now.
- 6:08Speaker 1: In the meantime, she had a message for her wife,
- 6:10Speaker 1: Cheryl Grinder, who recently graduated from law school. Here is
- 6:13Speaker 1: what she said. Do you want to say something to
- 6:16Speaker 1: each other? How do you feel? Do heim for me
- 6:21Speaker 1: complaining patiently? She said, no complaints, just waiting patiently. But
- 6:29Speaker 1: she did wish her good luck on the bar exam.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And she was she was holding up two photographs and
- 6:37Speaker 1: she said, my wife, my two best friends, my teammates.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Those were the photographs. Well, hold your head, Brittany, It'll
- 6:42Speaker 1: be all all, It'll come to a conclusion, sue, all right.
- 6:46Speaker 1: The United States now leads the globe and confirmed monkey
- 6:49Speaker 1: pocks cases, according to new data that was published by
- 6:52Speaker 1: the CDC. And so there's a total of three thousand,
- 6:56Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty six known monkeys cases as of
- 6:59Speaker 1: money day, and that surpasses Spain and Germany they have
- 7:03Speaker 1: about thirty one. Can you just tell me about it,
- 7:07Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna front I've heard about it, but
- 7:09Speaker 1: I really don't know much about it. How long do
- 7:11Speaker 1: you have it for? Do you have to you know,
- 7:12Speaker 1: quarantine for five days? And is there you know, what
- 7:16Speaker 1: can you take for it? Is there? Symptoms usually start
- 7:19Speaker 1: with then Yeah, they do have a vaccine. That's been
- 7:21Speaker 1: hard to get by the way, you have to make
- 7:22Speaker 1: an appointment to get one. Um Now, the symptoms usually
- 7:25Speaker 1: start within three weeks of exposure to the virus, so
- 7:27Speaker 1: they anticipate there may be an increase in cases throughout
- 7:31Speaker 1: the month, and it typically occurs through close contact for
- 7:34Speaker 1: an extended period of time, or contact with articles of clothing,
- 7:37Speaker 1: betting towels that have been in contact. Here's a guy
- 7:39Speaker 1: who actually has monkey pots and here's what he has
- 7:42Speaker 1: to say about it. If you hear of a friend
- 7:44Speaker 1: or a loved one that has this message them, support them,
- 7:49Speaker 1: ask them, I find anything. Just let them know that
- 7:52Speaker 1: they're not some parah, that they're not dirty, and that
- 7:56Speaker 1: it's gonna be Okay, it's not lethal, it's just very temporary.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Read it's scary for the moment, Okay. Yeah. The vast
- 8:04Speaker 1: majority of those cases, ninety nine percent of the cases
- 8:07Speaker 1: reported domestically have been related to mail to male sexual contact,
- 8:11Speaker 1: and they they confirmed that two children in the US
- 8:15Speaker 1: tested positive from monkey pocks. One case has occurred in
- 8:17Speaker 1: toddler who is a resident of California, and the other
- 8:20Speaker 1: is an infant who is a non US resident. Can
- 8:22Speaker 1: you realize how much of a negative stereotype that is?
- 8:24Speaker 1: What they keep saying that it's spread mostly through man
- 8:27Speaker 1: on man sex because anybody who gets it, you know,
- 8:29Speaker 1: now they're gonna be open to ridicule and being teased
- 8:33Speaker 1: and being called gay. And what if they're not, Like,
- 8:35Speaker 1: you can't say, hey, it's mostly spread by people through
- 8:39Speaker 1: man on man sex. Didn't turn around and say, but
- 8:40Speaker 1: it's not exclusive to them? Like why even put a
- 8:43Speaker 1: huge percentage? I guess they're just putting out the facts.
- 8:45Speaker 1: But then they say it's nine an STD Like once
- 8:48Speaker 1: again they're putting out all this information about something that
- 8:50Speaker 1: doesn't quite make sense. Yeah. No, I guess they putting
- 8:53Speaker 1: out the facts. And how long does it last when
- 8:54Speaker 1: you do have it? I don't know how long it lasts.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I'm sure it differs and varies from person in person.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I just want to said, mail to male sexual contact,
- 9:05Speaker 1: So if you're not having male to male sexual contact.
- 9:07Speaker 1: You should't have to worry about it. But there's a
- 9:08Speaker 1: one percent chance you can get it. And the I
- 9:10Speaker 1: mean these infants. We just told you about two children
- 9:12Speaker 1: that have. So if it's a one percent chance of
- 9:13Speaker 1: people who are not having mail to male sex contact
- 9:16Speaker 1: getting it, why are they putting it in the news
- 9:18Speaker 1: every single day. I just don't understand why they say that.
- 9:20Speaker 1: They turn around and say it's not exclusive the game in.
- 9:23Speaker 1: That makes no sense. I don't know why they're putting
- 9:25Speaker 1: the talkeet on gave ins back like that, that makes
- 9:27Speaker 1: no sense. All right, well that is your front page news.
- 9:30Speaker 1: That makes sense to you? It does not, Oh okay,
- 9:33Speaker 1: it does not. I mean obviously these infants didn't have
- 9:36Speaker 1: that's my point, you know. But is a huge person
- 9:42Speaker 1: letting you know, like that's mainly how it's And they
- 9:45Speaker 1: say it's not an STD and they say it's not
- 9:47Speaker 1: exclusively gay in so why keep highlighting because that makes
- 9:52Speaker 1: no sense to me. It's more of a risk in
- 9:54Speaker 1: that community, is what they're saying. All right, well, get
- 9:58Speaker 1: it off your chests. Eight hundred five. I need five

- 19:15Speaker 1: talk little Duvall. Listen, Oh gosh, got breakfast club? All right? Well,
- 19:28Speaker 1: hopefully little Duvall is okay. He posted himself on a
- 19:30Speaker 1: stretcher and he said, somebody hit me in a car
- 19:33Speaker 1: while I was on my four wheeler. Now my leg broken.
- 19:35Speaker 1: I gotta get flown over the NASSA and half surgery.
- 19:38Speaker 1: So hopefully everything is okay with him. Prayers up for
- 19:42Speaker 1: my guy man. He faced time me yesterday from the hospital.
- 19:45Speaker 1: When he was hi off morphine. Listen, let's just say
- 19:49Speaker 1: Little Duvall is with the comedian. And that's the scariest
- 19:52Speaker 1: part when you're on vacation and you do those rescursions
- 19:55Speaker 1: that you hope that you know if something does happen,
- 19:57Speaker 1: that you know whatever hospital that's close by can help
- 19:59Speaker 1: you out. Because he had to fly over to another
- 20:01Speaker 1: the nasal, Yeah, another island. So we were on vacation
- 20:05Speaker 1: once in Jamaica and my friend the four wheel of
- 20:07Speaker 1: flipped around her arm and we had to go to
- 20:10Speaker 1: the hospital in Kingston and we spent like eight hours
- 20:13Speaker 1: in the hospital that day. My cousin the same thing.
- 20:16Speaker 1: He a four wheel a fellow on him and I
- 20:18Speaker 1: think he broke his leg, and it was just it
- 20:20Speaker 1: was hard to get attention and get help, so I
- 20:22Speaker 1: think the ball broke his leg too. I think I
- 20:25Speaker 1: had to get a bunch of people to lift the
- 20:26Speaker 1: four wheeler up off of her. She was screaming, Wow,
- 20:29Speaker 1: I'm sending hiller energy to my brother, a little Duvall
- 20:32Speaker 1: shoot to my man, clay Man, and I'm just glad
- 20:34Speaker 1: that my guy's my guy's still here with us absolutely
- 20:37Speaker 1: all right. Now, Chris Rock did an interview with Kevin
- 20:40Speaker 1: Hart for his Peacock TV series Heart to Heart, and
- 20:43Speaker 1: he spoke a lot of things. One of the things
- 20:45Speaker 1: that he talked about was people saying his comedy mainly
- 20:48Speaker 1: appeals to white people. When it was time to do
- 20:51Speaker 1: my next quession, I'm like, oh, oh, you think only
- 20:54Speaker 1: white people? Are like, okay, well, I'm going to the
- 20:56Speaker 1: Apollo and there ain't gonna be no white people and
- 21:01Speaker 1: I'm gonna call the special biggest. This is the blackest
- 21:04Speaker 1: special you will ever see. I have fought battles, I'm
- 21:09Speaker 1: told to shut up in comedy clubs. It's the success
- 21:13Speaker 1: of the comedian that has found a way to cross
- 21:16Speaker 1: over an appeal to all people, remove the world universal,
- 21:19Speaker 1: and they just go on the word white. I never
- 21:22Speaker 1: thought that when Kenyan Chris Rocks, I've never thought that.
- 21:24Speaker 1: I'm sitting there thinking, well, I must be white because
- 21:26Speaker 1: Chris rocks comedy has been appealing to me for damn
- 21:28Speaker 1: near thirty years. Been black. I love all his stand up.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Everybody hates Chris is one of my favorite sitcoms ever.
- 21:34Speaker 1: So I must be transracial because I'm black, but I
- 21:36Speaker 1: highly enjoy Chris's comedy, So I guess that means I
- 21:38Speaker 1: identify as white. I used to love Chris Chris Rocks
- 21:41Speaker 1: show talking about That's what I'm saying. People say that,
- 21:44Speaker 1: and I'm always confused because Chris rock has been so
- 21:47Speaker 1: black in the mainscreen for so long. I'm talking about
- 21:50Speaker 1: black Andy black, Kevin his and people said similar things
- 21:55Speaker 1: about him. And they talked about a lot of other
- 21:57Speaker 1: comedians that were quote unquote ain't stream, like Eddie Murphy,
- 22:01Speaker 1: Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle and Martin Lawrence. And another thing
- 22:05Speaker 1: that they none of those all of those brothers are
- 22:08Speaker 1: blacky black. I mean, I guess they know what people
- 22:11Speaker 1: say about them. So who are these people? We are
- 22:13Speaker 1: the people we say that they heard it. I'm sure
- 22:18Speaker 1: I don't know where they're hearing that from. Because Chris
- 22:20Speaker 1: rock first of all, you can't be called a white
- 22:22Speaker 1: uh say that your comedy appeals to the white people
- 22:24Speaker 1: when you use crack as much as Chris Rocky. That's
- 22:26Speaker 1: what I was saying. The only one that I was
- 22:28Speaker 1: I was a little late on. I was a little
- 22:30Speaker 1: late on Dave Chappelle. Dave now Dave early on appealed
- 22:33Speaker 1: to a lot of white people, that's now, that's that's
- 22:35Speaker 1: the only one. Yeah, but I think the movie was
- 22:37Speaker 1: part of the reason for that. Pam baked, Yeah, because
- 22:40Speaker 1: Killing Me Softly was a great stand up special. But
- 22:42Speaker 1: even then he had a large white fan base. To me,
- 22:43Speaker 1: it wasn't until he put out The Chappelle Show with
- 22:45Speaker 1: black started gravitated toward Chappelle. Yeah, but everybody else there
- 22:48Speaker 1: was black and black black black. From the beginning. Chris
- 22:52Speaker 1: Rock was poky. Played my favorite Chris Rock drop uh
- 22:55Speaker 1: eddie one time? Come on, you know what I want
- 22:58Speaker 1: to hear? Just in case y'all thought he wasn't black,
- 23:01Speaker 1: all right, Well he's getting that ready, Let's talk about
- 23:03Speaker 1: what else happened in this interview. So he also talked
- 23:06Speaker 1: about Kevin Hurt, talked about the best advice that Chris
- 23:09Speaker 1: Rock ever gave him, Crack. I asked one I've ever
- 23:15Speaker 1: gotten from you and guards to comedy. It was, hey,
- 23:18Speaker 1: don't be local, go be funny for everybody. And when
- 23:23Speaker 1: I think about what that meant, and I think about
- 23:26Speaker 1: you in your prime and even and now, well, you
- 23:30Speaker 1: define funny differently because you stayed true to yourself. You
- 23:35Speaker 1: never you never shy away from what you feel. But
- 23:38Speaker 1: you made everybody can grasp what it was that you
- 23:41Speaker 1: were trying to say. It was never a barrier of
- 23:44Speaker 1: language of what what does he mean? All right, well
- 23:47Speaker 1: that is your rumor report. You can watch that whole
- 23:50Speaker 1: interview again. Like we said, that's hard to hurt on Peacock.
- 23:53Speaker 1: I don't want you all to know that Chris Rock
- 23:54Speaker 1: is back staying my favorite word too and the special.
- 23:58Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. Chris Rock's back say clock
- 24:01Speaker 1: of ass Crack't know he stopped. He did for a while,
- 24:05Speaker 1: didn't He even stopped doing the N word versus black
- 24:07Speaker 1: people joke for a while. But yeah, he he wasn't
- 24:10Speaker 1: saying that, like that word clack of ass cracking. But yeah,
- 24:15Speaker 1: you're gonna heard a few times in his new material
- 24:17Speaker 1: that's dope. So he just says it completely like clock
- 24:20Speaker 1: I asked crack. I mean, not exactly in that context,
- 24:22Speaker 1: but he says it a few times as should go
- 24:25Speaker 1: see it, you should go see it. Damn ego death,
- 24:27Speaker 1: ego death towards he's out for the rest of the year.
- 24:31Speaker 1: He's out. He's on the roll, all right. Well, shout

- 26:11Speaker 1: there's a petition for people to make Instagram Instagram again.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Kylie Jenner posted stop trying to be TikTok. I just
- 26:18Speaker 1: want to see cute photos of my friends, Sincerely everyone.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian posted it as well, and so there's also
- 26:24Speaker 1: a change dot org petition that they reposted to their stories.
- 26:28Speaker 1: That's the petition Instagram sus now and so now it
- 26:31Speaker 1: has over one hundred and fifty thousand people that signed it.
- 26:34Speaker 1: And Adamissouri, who's been up here before on the Breakfast Club,
- 26:37Speaker 1: he's a CEO. He responded, and here's what he had
- 26:40Speaker 1: to say about what's happening on Instagram right now. He said,
- 26:43Speaker 1: I want to address a few things we're working on
- 26:45Speaker 1: to make Instagram a better experience. Please let me know
- 26:48Speaker 1: what you think. The second thing, I'm hearing a lot
- 26:50Speaker 1: of concerns about right now our photos and how we're
- 26:52Speaker 1: shifting to video now. I want to be clear, We're
- 26:55Speaker 1: going to continue to support photos. It's part of our heritage.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I love photos. I know a lot of you are
- 26:59Speaker 1: the love photos too. That said, I need to be honest.
- 27:02Speaker 1: I do believe that more and more of Instagram is
- 27:04Speaker 1: going to become video over time. We see this, even
- 27:06Speaker 1: if we change nothing. We see this. Even if you
- 27:09Speaker 1: just look at chronological feed, if you look at what
- 27:11Speaker 1: people share on Instagram, that's shifting more and more to
- 27:13Speaker 1: videos over time. If you look at what people like
- 27:15Speaker 1: and consume and view on Instagram, that's also shifting more
- 27:18Speaker 1: and more to video overtime even when we stop changing anything,
- 27:21Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to lean into that shift while
- 27:24Speaker 1: continuing to support photos. I don't like the new timelines
- 27:28Speaker 1: that they have all of a sudden, people just don't
- 27:30Speaker 1: put a little bit. I hate when it's like, I
- 27:33Speaker 1: don't want to see this, pery same, who is this
- 27:36Speaker 1: you have to say about that? The third thing I
- 27:38Speaker 1: want to talk about is recommendations. Recommendations are posts in
- 27:41Speaker 1: your feed from accounts that you do not follow. The
- 27:44Speaker 1: idea is to help you discovered new and interesting things
- 27:47Speaker 1: on Instagram and you might not know even exist. Now.
- 27:49Speaker 1: If you're seeing things in your feed that are recommendations
- 27:51Speaker 1: that you're not interested in, that means that we're doing
- 27:53Speaker 1: a bad job ranking and we need to improve. And
- 27:56Speaker 1: you can ex out for recommendation. You can even snooze
- 27:58Speaker 1: all recommendations from or go to your following feed. But
- 28:02Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to try and get better at recommendations
- 28:05Speaker 1: because we think it's one of the most impective and
- 28:07Speaker 1: important ways to help creators reach our people. We want
- 28:10Speaker 1: to do our best by critics, particularly small creators. Nope,
- 28:14Speaker 1: and I hate it. Stop recommending and showing me content
- 28:16Speaker 1: from people I don't follow. I think I've beaten that though.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I think because when you block a bunch of them,
- 28:20Speaker 1: when you'd like hit like five or ten of the middle,
- 28:22Speaker 1: stop showing them to you all together. I'm gonna tell
- 28:24Speaker 1: you what us y'all protest. Y'all need to be protesting
- 28:26Speaker 1: against those damn bots asking me if I want something
- 28:28Speaker 1: long and hard. Okay, well I stop telling me you
- 28:31Speaker 1: want me for breakfast. I get commendation when you search
- 28:34Speaker 1: something that is not trying to the damn line, and
- 28:42Speaker 1: those bots attack you so fast you think you don't
- 28:44Speaker 1: posted something to just rip and you're like, oh shoot
- 28:47Speaker 1: this thing about eighty comments in twenty seconds. And then
- 28:50Speaker 1: there's a bunch of women talking about let me, let
- 28:54Speaker 1: me have you for breakfast. What would you do if
- 28:56Speaker 1: you found me alone in a room called the police,
- 28:58Speaker 1: white woman? How you're talking about not stupid as questions?
- 29:02Speaker 1: They need to stop that all that bonds and stuff.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I really really all right now. You also talked about
- 29:06Speaker 1: full screen IG and other things. One is, if you're
- 29:09Speaker 1: seeing a new full screen version of a feed or
- 29:12Speaker 1: you're hearing about it, know that that is a test.
- 29:14Speaker 1: It's a test to a few percentage of people out there,
- 29:17Speaker 1: and the idea is that a more full screen experience,
- 29:19Speaker 1: not only for videos but for photos might be a
- 29:22Speaker 1: more fun, engaging experience. But I also want to be clear,
- 29:25Speaker 1: it's not yet good, and we're gonna have to get
- 29:27Speaker 1: it to a good place if we're gonna ship it
- 29:29Speaker 1: to the rest of the Instagram community. Now, this is
- 29:31Speaker 1: a lot of change all at once, but know that
- 29:33Speaker 1: a number of things about Instagram are going to stay
- 29:35Speaker 1: the same. We're gonna stay committed to create a more broadway.
- 29:38Speaker 1: We're gonna stay committed to supporting photos. We're gonna stay
- 29:42Speaker 1: in a place where we try and put your friends
- 29:44Speaker 1: contingent the top of feed, in the front of stories
- 29:46Speaker 1: whenever possible. But we're also we're gonna need to evolve. Hey,
- 29:50Speaker 1: by the way, y'are tripping. Though, I don't just want
- 29:53Speaker 1: pictures on Instagram. I like the videos and reels. I
- 29:56Speaker 1: think that is a great way to get information out.
- 29:59Speaker 1: So I disagree with that part of it. Now all
- 30:02Speaker 1: people saying they don't like having seen videos on Instagram,
- 30:05Speaker 1: but I like watching you know, I like the videos too,
- 30:07Speaker 1: But I like the pictures the way that they do
- 30:08Speaker 1: it now. People don't get to see your pictures that
- 30:10Speaker 1: follow you anymore. It's real weird if you notice it,
- 30:14Speaker 1: Like some people never get to see a pictures. It's
- 30:15Speaker 1: a lot of shadow band a lot of shadow banding,
- 30:17Speaker 1: which I hate. We need to bring them back up
- 30:19Speaker 1: here when when Adam gets a second because we there's
- 30:22Speaker 1: so many other questions and I feel like they're not
- 30:24Speaker 1: doing anything to fix it. All right, Adam, pull up,
- 30:27Speaker 1: Let's see what happens, and that is your front page.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I think Adam gotta open door policy. I gotta clear
- 30:32Speaker 1: with Boosey first, but I'm pretty sure Adam can come
- 30:34Speaker 1: up here whenever you want to. M gotta make sure
- 30:36Speaker 1: up Yeah, allows now. But I'm gonna be honest with you.
- 30:41Speaker 1: I don't care. None of these social media platforms are
- 30:44Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They can turn all of
- 30:45Speaker 1: these things off tomorrow and we just have to figure
- 30:47Speaker 1: something else out. Because before Instagram it was just twit pick.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Remember Twitter Pick when he used to just post pictures
- 30:53Speaker 1: on Twitter, and then Instagram came along, and then TikTok.
- 30:56Speaker 1: All this stuff isn't new. It'll be something else in
- 30:57Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks fan bases out there. It's
- 30:59Speaker 1: a bunch of different platforms. Man. All right, now when
- 31:02Speaker 1: we come back, who's joining us? I know they have
- 31:05Speaker 1: the Aftershock documentary Tanya lewis Lee. Tanya lewis Lee, Yes,
- 31:09Speaker 1: as well as Omari, who is featured in the documentary.
- 31:12Speaker 1: His wife died after giving birth. It was preventable, and
- 31:18Speaker 1: they're going to talk about how black women have three
- 31:20Speaker 1: to four times more likely to have issues died during
- 31:23Speaker 1: childbirth and right after. All right, and we'll get to
- 31:25Speaker 1: that next it don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning,
- 31:27Speaker 1: So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same morning.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We
- 31:36Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests joining
- 31:38Speaker 1: us this morning. They produced the Aftershock documentary Tanya lewis
- 31:44Speaker 1: Lee and Omari Maynard. Good morning, Good morning, How y'all,
- 31:47Speaker 1: good morning. What's happening all as well? Things are great.
- 31:50Speaker 1: There's a lot of awesome conversation happening, especially you know,
- 31:54Speaker 1: specifically with this month being Bipock Mental Health month. But
- 31:59Speaker 1: after Shot in itself is just such a dope film.
- 32:01Speaker 1: I'm so excited that it's actually out now. In Experiment
- 32:04Speaker 1: on Hulu, just talk about it. They examine the maternal
- 32:07Speaker 1: mortality rate definitely in America, definitely especially for black women too,
- 32:11Speaker 1: and I think this is something we've discussed, how that
- 32:13Speaker 1: rate is so much higher than white women. Yeah, black
- 32:17Speaker 1: women are dying at three to four times the rate
- 32:19Speaker 1: of white women from childbook complications in New York City,
- 32:23Speaker 1: and it is a crisis. It's a national crisis that
- 32:25Speaker 1: people haven't been talking about. That's why I directed and
- 32:29Speaker 1: produced the film so that we could have a conversation.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I'm so grateful to Amri for allowing us to come
- 32:36Speaker 1: into his life at a very difficult time and open
- 32:40Speaker 1: himself up to the cameras so that everybody can understand
- 32:44Speaker 1: what it's like for a family to lose someone from
- 32:47Speaker 1: childbook complications and what it takes for someone to pick
- 32:50Speaker 1: themselves up and not only heal for themselves, but also
- 32:54Speaker 1: try to heal the community, because that's really what Amar
- 32:56Speaker 1: is doing. No. I love the fact that y'all did
- 32:58Speaker 1: after shot from the perspective two men, because that's one
- 33:01Speaker 1: of the reasons I got a duela. We went and
- 33:03Speaker 1: got laid them because I saw Charles Johnson. Familiar with
- 33:06Speaker 1: Charles Johnson. I saw Jarles Johnson on CNN back in
- 33:08Speaker 1: the day, and I just could not imagine, you know,
- 33:11Speaker 1: something like that happening. In My second daughter was born
- 33:14Speaker 1: because of an emergency C section, Like he was born
- 33:16Speaker 1: a month earlier, and you know, got rushed to the hospital,
- 33:19Speaker 1: did the C section, and that could have went, you know,
- 33:22Speaker 1: either way. And it's from that point on, I just
- 33:23Speaker 1: had like such an anxiety surrounding childbirth that I never
- 33:27Speaker 1: wanted to be in there alone without having a duela. Well,
- 33:30Speaker 1: it's interesting you bring that up, anxiety, because I think
- 33:33Speaker 1: that unfortunately in this country and given this crisis, that
- 33:37Speaker 1: there is anxiety and fear. And I really think that
- 33:41Speaker 1: we need to shift the culture because birthing should be
- 33:44Speaker 1: an exciting, empowering time for a woman and for her family,
- 33:49Speaker 1: and it should not be anxiety producing. I mean, we've
- 33:53Speaker 1: been birthing since forever. That's why we're all here. And
- 33:56Speaker 1: I think part of the issue is that we have,
- 33:59Speaker 1: you know, as technology has advanced, we have moved into
- 34:04Speaker 1: more of as a Helena Grant says in the film,
- 34:06Speaker 1: a technocratic, patriarchal model of birthing, which can create some issues.
- 34:13Speaker 1: So I liken it to farm to table that now
- 34:16Speaker 1: we've got to come back a little bit and look
- 34:18Speaker 1: at what the midwives did back in the past and
- 34:21Speaker 1: use a little bit of what they've done and a
- 34:23Speaker 1: little bit of the medical technocratic model, but not the
- 34:26Speaker 1: way it is, because that's really what's killing us. Helena
- 34:29Speaker 1: Grant also talks about how when a woman is birthing
- 34:32Speaker 1: a child, she's not just birthing that child, She's birthing
- 34:35Speaker 1: a mother. And so the process of labor, yes, it
- 34:39Speaker 1: can hurt, it can be painful, but you know, we
- 34:41Speaker 1: shouldn't be afraid of that either. That is a process
- 34:44Speaker 1: that we go through so that we are powerful mothers.
- 34:47Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred. It's just so difficult
- 34:49Speaker 1: when you go in these hospitals that I'm a majority
- 34:52Speaker 1: white drivens, a lot of white nurses, a lot of
- 34:54Speaker 1: white doctors. They're not looking at you know. I remember
- 34:57Speaker 1: one time for our third child, like they didn't even
- 34:59Speaker 1: have any literally in a hospital and they were just like, well,
- 35:04Speaker 1: maybe's right now you can just push it out. And
- 35:05Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, like, how do you post the
- 35:07Speaker 1: react to something like well, yeah, no, and I completely
- 35:10Speaker 1: agree with you, and I think we can start thinking
- 35:12Speaker 1: about the fact that we can we can be consumers
- 35:14Speaker 1: here if we can and find the right situation for you.
- 35:18Speaker 1: If you want to birth in a hospital with a doctor,
- 35:21Speaker 1: just with the doctor, you can do that. But if
- 35:23Speaker 1: you want to bring a duela into that, that's great too.
- 35:26Speaker 1: You could birth in a birthing center with a midwife
- 35:28Speaker 1: and adula, maybe without an eperdura, with that in mind
- 35:31Speaker 1: that you're going into that process. People can birth at
- 35:34Speaker 1: home with a midwife and adula and a doctor on
- 35:37Speaker 1: call if that's what makes them feel comfortable. And I
- 35:39Speaker 1: really think it's about finding the right environment and the
- 35:43Speaker 1: right support around a woman. It should be woman centered
- 35:47Speaker 1: and she needs to figure out what she needs around her,
- 35:50Speaker 1: because I agree, like, you don't want to be in
- 35:52Speaker 1: a hospital necessarily where there's a bunch of white people
- 35:55Speaker 1: looking at you like you're crazy, don't really believe you
- 35:58Speaker 1: when you say you're having pain, you're asking for things,
- 36:01Speaker 1: and they're you know, discounting you. That that is not
- 36:04Speaker 1: the type of environment anyone wants to be giving birth in.
- 36:07Speaker 1: And sometimes it feels like, and you point this out too,
- 36:10Speaker 1: it's like the midwife or the dula against the doctor,
- 36:14Speaker 1: and it's not like they're working together in tandem, right,
- 36:17Speaker 1: you know, and they should be. I mean, every other
- 36:19Speaker 1: industrialized nation has midwives integrated into women's healthcare so that
- 36:26Speaker 1: women interface with the with the midwife first if there
- 36:30Speaker 1: is a problem, because midwives to separate from dula's. Midwives
- 36:34Speaker 1: are conitions that can do just about anything a doctor
- 36:37Speaker 1: can't except for cut you the obi guinies are surgeons.
- 36:40Speaker 1: They are surgeons, we need them, they're important, but they're
- 36:44Speaker 1: ready to do surgery. Midwives are there to hang out
- 36:49Speaker 1: and take the time and allow your body to do
- 36:52Speaker 1: what it's supposed to do. And if they're working together,
- 36:55Speaker 1: that's the best situation so that if a complication occurs,
- 36:58Speaker 1: you've got the doctor right there who is ready to
- 37:00Speaker 1: come in. But if we're not working together and in tandem,
- 37:04Speaker 1: then it becomes a fight between the power. Who is
- 37:07Speaker 1: more powerful, the doctor or the midwife. But we need
- 37:10Speaker 1: to figure out how to work together. And even when
- 37:12Speaker 1: it comes to c sections, you've spoken about how that's
- 37:15Speaker 1: been on the rise. I think like seventy percent more
- 37:17Speaker 1: C sections are happening. Why are hospitals so quick to
- 37:20Speaker 1: be like, you gotta get a C section money. Yeah, yeah,
- 37:23Speaker 1: well that's what it is essentially. So we talk about
- 37:26Speaker 1: in the film the rates of c sections, about sixty percent,
- 37:29Speaker 1: sixty percent of c sections are not needed. But like
- 37:32Speaker 1: Charlemagne just said, it's about fifteen thousand dollars you get
- 37:35Speaker 1: for a vaginal birth and it takes about eight to
- 37:38Speaker 1: twelve hours right to go through that whole process. But
- 37:40Speaker 1: a C section you make doubled amount of money. It
- 37:43Speaker 1: takes about forty five minutes. It's scheduled. Or a doctor
- 37:47Speaker 1: and you want to go catch the golf game or dinner,
- 37:49Speaker 1: you can go do that exactly. And that's what I
- 37:51Speaker 1: was just about to say. In the film, there's a
- 37:54Speaker 1: part of it where all the nurses and doctors are
- 37:57Speaker 1: in the you know, the forum, and there talking about
- 38:01Speaker 1: the schedule c sections, but they're not talking about people
- 38:04Speaker 1: by their name. It's all number x y two, five,
- 38:08Speaker 1: seven eight, schedule C section for this time x y
- 38:12Speaker 1: three seventy five. She's you know, got already had a
- 38:14Speaker 1: C section, so she needs another. Like so it's a
- 38:17Speaker 1: really monetized model where it's almost similar to the prison system,
- 38:23Speaker 1: where everybody kind of has this serial number, and that's
- 38:26Speaker 1: how people are looked at, not necessarily as people, but
- 38:30Speaker 1: as commodities. I think God for information and I thank
- 38:33Speaker 1: God for you know, laid them because like I can
- 38:36Speaker 1: still hear the fear in my wife's voice when she
- 38:38Speaker 1: had to think about having a C section for the
- 38:41Speaker 1: second time, you know that after she had the one
- 38:43Speaker 1: for a second child. They told her when she got
- 38:45Speaker 1: pregnant again, she was gonna have to have They were
- 38:48Speaker 1: already scheduled and everything, and just a random conversation with
- 38:51Speaker 1: with Latham and I just asked her and she was like, no,
- 38:54Speaker 1: she doesn't have to have a C section, And so
- 38:55Speaker 1: that's when she first got with Latham, and Latham walked
- 38:58Speaker 1: in through the process and she ended up having the
- 38:59Speaker 1: vaginal child. That is really amazing she was able to
- 39:05Speaker 1: do that, and like you say, she had the support
- 39:08Speaker 1: of someone who was like, hold on a second, we
- 39:10Speaker 1: can do this, because without that support, she's being pushed
- 39:13Speaker 1: into having that that that C section, which happens to
- 39:16Speaker 1: too many women. We got more with Tanya Lewis Lee
- 39:19Speaker 1: and Omar Remainer when we come back and overget next hour.
- 39:22Speaker 1: We have asked ye if you need relationship advice and
- 39:25Speaker 1: any type of advice you can call ye right now
- 39:27Speaker 1: should help you out. You get on those phone lines.
- 39:29Speaker 1: But we got more with Tanya lewis Lee and Omar Remainer.
- 39:31Speaker 1: When we come back as the breakfast level Morning Morning,
- 39:33Speaker 1: everybody is dj Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we
- 39:37Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club was still kicking with Tanya lewis
- 39:40Speaker 1: Lee and Omar Remainer. Now, another thing that you guys
- 39:42Speaker 1: discuss is what happens after a woman gives birth. Right,
- 39:46Speaker 1: what's going on with going back to the doctor getting
- 39:48Speaker 1: checked up on and Amaria? I know for you you
- 39:51Speaker 1: feel that that death could have been prevented. Yeah, most definitely.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Just throughout the entire process. Shimani was healthy, she was strong,
- 40:00Speaker 1: tried to have a vback as well, the vaginal birth
- 40:02Speaker 1: after C section. Unfortunately it didn't happen. But when we
- 40:07Speaker 1: left the hospital, I left with my daughter, let me
- 40:09Speaker 1: excuse me, my son and my partner, you know, so
- 40:12Speaker 1: I thought everything was fine. And the subsequent days, you know,
- 40:16Speaker 1: she was complaining about chess pain, she was complaining about
- 40:19Speaker 1: having shortness of breath, she was complaining about not being
- 40:22Speaker 1: able to walk, you know, and do these certain things,
- 40:24Speaker 1: and you know, our family has been in this maternal
- 40:27Speaker 1: space for a while, so her mom was like, this
- 40:30Speaker 1: sounds like a pulmonary embolism. We went to the doctor
- 40:33Speaker 1: three times within that two week period to go let
- 40:37Speaker 1: them know, like, this is the problem, these it issues,
- 40:39Speaker 1: this is how she's feeling. And every time he went,
- 40:42Speaker 1: because of the fact that Shamani's scheduled visit for her
- 40:45Speaker 1: check up was six weeks out, they didn't look at her.
- 40:49Speaker 1: They looked at the c section that she had for
- 40:51Speaker 1: the clips. They talked about we went to have a
- 40:54Speaker 1: visit for Kari and what his needs are. But every
- 40:57Speaker 1: time we went out there, we were advocating and advocating advocate,
- 41:00Speaker 1: and it was still this thing where it's because of
- 41:02Speaker 1: the fact that it's not her schedule time it was
- 41:05Speaker 1: normal exactly. It's horrible because many of these deaths happened
- 41:10Speaker 1: postpartum and the fact that she had an appointment six
- 41:14Speaker 1: weeks out and they're like, oh, no, we've got to
- 41:15Speaker 1: wait for that six weeks is insane. You know, women
- 41:18Speaker 1: should be checked on a few days after a week after,
- 41:23Speaker 1: they should be seen, especially after having major surgery like
- 41:27Speaker 1: a C section and again, that's one of those things
- 41:30Speaker 1: midwives do. Six weeks out is way too long, and
- 41:33Speaker 1: I think we need a cultural shift in that women
- 41:35Speaker 1: should be seen much sooner before that. Now tell you
- 41:39Speaker 1: for you this is I know you've produced before, but
- 41:41Speaker 1: this is directorial debut for you. So what was your
- 41:45Speaker 1: passion behind this? Yeah, you know, I had been working
- 41:50Speaker 1: raising awareness about the high rates of infant mortality in
- 41:53Speaker 1: the United States. I started that back in two thousand
- 41:55Speaker 1: and seven. You know, we have the same disparity as
- 41:58Speaker 1: in maternal health. Black babies diet three to four times
- 42:01Speaker 1: the raid of white babies in this country before their
- 42:03Speaker 1: first birthday. I found myself immersed in a world of
- 42:07Speaker 1: women's health. You know, inevitably someone would tell me about
- 42:10Speaker 1: someone who passed away from childbirth complications and wanted to
- 42:16Speaker 1: tell a story about it. I wanted to raise awareness
- 42:20Speaker 1: about it so that we can do something. I think
- 42:22Speaker 1: if we don't have the conversation about what's happening, we
- 42:26Speaker 1: can't fix it. And when Shawnee and Amari put out
- 42:31Speaker 1: on social media and invitation for a celebration of Shamani's
- 42:34Speaker 1: life along with a conversation with the community about what
- 42:39Speaker 1: was happening with black maternal health. We reached out to
- 42:42Speaker 1: film and they agreed and that really began the film
- 42:45Speaker 1: that you see as after Shock. How was the process
- 42:48Speaker 1: for you, Amari making the film? It was enlightening. So
- 42:55Speaker 1: we did after Shock, our after Shock event on December nineteenth,
- 42:59Speaker 1: for Shamari's birthday, so this is two months after she passed.
- 43:02Speaker 1: So like, during that two month time frame was the
- 43:05Speaker 1: darkest time of my life. Honestly, it was filled with
- 43:08Speaker 1: my deepest grief, sadness, insecurities, like all these things started
- 43:13Speaker 1: coming up and me being able to process it was
- 43:17Speaker 1: it was difficult. But what I started to do was painting.
- 43:20Speaker 1: So when Tanya and Paula came in introduced his film
- 43:23Speaker 1: to us, I was like, NA, I'm not doing this,
- 43:26Speaker 1: this is this is I'm not at my press again exactly.
- 43:29Speaker 1: You know, I'm going I'm going through things, you know,
- 43:31Speaker 1: going through things I've never been through before. But after
- 43:34Speaker 1: having a conversation with Seannie and you know her just
- 43:38Speaker 1: kind of identifying what the opportunity was, what the possibilities
- 43:41Speaker 1: could be, and just the fact that you know, regardless
- 43:43Speaker 1: of where the film went, at least we would have
- 43:46Speaker 1: something documented about our family so that our kids could
- 43:49Speaker 1: watch emotionally and mentally. You know, how else did you
- 43:53Speaker 1: process the trauma of dis event other than the paint? Yeah,
- 43:56Speaker 1: So thankfully I've got a dope community. So it as
- 44:00Speaker 1: soon as she passed, Like I had grief counselors when Shamani,
- 44:05Speaker 1: when she was here, we go to a couple of therapy,
- 44:08Speaker 1: you know. So when I was I was on it.
- 44:11Speaker 1: I was on it, and I mean not by choice,
- 44:13Speaker 1: to be honest. You know, it was something that Shamani
- 44:16Speaker 1: was pushing and but you know, I went once and
- 44:18Speaker 1: went twice and then obviously after a while I saw
- 44:20Speaker 1: the value in it. But after she passed a step,
- 44:22Speaker 1: I kept going to the same therapist, and then, like
- 44:24Speaker 1: I said, I had family friends coming in, you know,
- 44:27Speaker 1: to help out around the house and provide pamps, diapers,
- 44:30Speaker 1: you know, all the things that that you would need
- 44:33Speaker 1: on a day to day basis. But in order for
- 44:35Speaker 1: me to process my grief, painting was one. But it
- 44:39Speaker 1: turned into being this kind of mind, body spirit training
- 44:44Speaker 1: where I was running every day, I was working out,
- 44:47Speaker 1: I was painting, I was talking to my therapists, I
- 44:50Speaker 1: was talking to family and friends, just different ways to
- 44:54Speaker 1: deal with the pain, deal with the grief, and process
- 44:57Speaker 1: it in a way that was positive. And like, that's
- 44:59Speaker 1: kind of what I really try to push now, especially
- 45:02Speaker 1: to men going through anything, because we all go through
- 45:05Speaker 1: our own pain, we all go through our own traumas, right,
- 45:08Speaker 1: but it's so important that we speak about it, that
- 45:11Speaker 1: we communicate it, and that we you know, we do
- 45:14Speaker 1: the things, and this is an ongoing, never ending process.
- 45:17Speaker 1: I'm gonna be going through this for the rest of
- 45:18Speaker 1: my life, you know, So it is really making sure
- 45:22Speaker 1: that I'm being very intentional about how I want to
- 45:25Speaker 1: move my energy and use my energy. When I hear
- 45:28Speaker 1: brothers like you tell your story, brothers like you know,
- 45:30Speaker 1: Charles Johnson telling this story, I'm just like, y'all way
- 45:33Speaker 1: stronger than me, because there's no way I don't even
- 45:36Speaker 1: know if I could even have that conversation because I
- 45:39Speaker 1: don't even know when it would hit me that this
- 45:42Speaker 1: actually happened, you know what I mean? And didn't you
- 45:44Speaker 1: see your child every day? Every day you're thinking about
- 45:48Speaker 1: your queen's I honestly don't feel that way. I feel
- 45:52Speaker 1: like whatever you're given is what you're given, right, And
- 45:56Speaker 1: you know, God doesn't make mistakes. Right, We all have
- 45:59Speaker 1: our own griefs, right, minds might be a little bit
- 46:01Speaker 1: deeper than others. But when it all comes down to it,
- 46:05Speaker 1: if you're gonna be there for your child, you're gonna
- 46:07Speaker 1: be there for yourself, You're gonna be there for your family.
- 46:09Speaker 1: You gotta do the work, you know. And it's really
- 46:11Speaker 1: that simple. That's why I respect. I respect it coming
- 46:14Speaker 1: from you because I know you've allowed yourself to feel. Yeah,
- 46:16Speaker 1: you're not numbing, you know at all, not at all.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Always say that in your deepest grief you gain your
- 46:22Speaker 1: greatest growth. We have more with Tanya Lewis Lee and
- 46:24Speaker 1: Omar Remainer. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Good morning, like everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
- 46:31Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking
- 46:33Speaker 1: with Tanya lewis Lee and Omar Remainer. What would you
- 46:36Speaker 1: recommend to people if a woman a family are dealing
- 46:39Speaker 1: with a complicated childbirth. They know something's wrong. The hospital
- 46:43Speaker 1: is not being responsive, the doctors aren't doing what they're
- 46:45Speaker 1: supposed to do. What can you do? You have options?
- 46:49Speaker 1: So in the film, there was a sister name is Felicia.
- 46:52Speaker 1: She went and had a birth at a birthing center,
- 46:57Speaker 1: but she was already I think thirty four, yeah, thirty weeks.
- 47:00Speaker 1: She was at the end, you know, and she was
- 47:02Speaker 1: going to the doctors, you know, to hospitals during this
- 47:05Speaker 1: thirty five week time period, but she decided to shift
- 47:09Speaker 1: because she felt like the need wasn't there. So it's
- 47:11Speaker 1: never too late, you know. To your to your question,
- 47:13Speaker 1: I think that it's so important that you understand and
- 47:17Speaker 1: learn what's around you. Right. So, there are places that
- 47:20Speaker 1: rate hospitals based off of the amount of C sections
- 47:22Speaker 1: that they provide to their patrons. And as you say that,
- 47:25Speaker 1: I just shout out to Kimberly Seals All. She's got
- 47:28Speaker 1: the earth app that is yeah, so yeah, that's Kimberley
- 47:32Speaker 1: is super dope earth app definitely for those who don't
- 47:35Speaker 1: know where earth app is, it's basically like a YELP
- 47:37Speaker 1: type of yeah definitely, yeah, yeah, she's doing great work
- 47:42Speaker 1: and she's so. Is that platform that allows people to
- 47:46Speaker 1: rate the hospitals, you know, rate the doctors, rate the
- 47:49Speaker 1: nurses and then those that's what you should be doing
- 47:53Speaker 1: exactly now, Is there anything you can do right after
- 47:55Speaker 1: everything happened that doctors didn't do what they could. This
- 47:58Speaker 1: was preventable, right, So now what happens after that? Is
- 48:02Speaker 1: this something that is now practiced? Like, what can somebody
- 48:04Speaker 1: do afterward? Well? Can I just say what I think
- 48:08Speaker 1: Omari and Bruce are doing is amazing, and what they
- 48:13Speaker 1: are doing is activating a community. Bruce is trying to
- 48:17Speaker 1: bring a birthing center to the Bronx. He's already has
- 48:20Speaker 1: the womb bus that is going around the Bronx. And
- 48:23Speaker 1: so while unfortunately there isn't a lot that one can
- 48:28Speaker 1: do for those that are gone, there are things that
- 48:30Speaker 1: people can do for those of us who are here.
- 48:33Speaker 1: And you know, I see that every day and what
- 48:35Speaker 1: saver Rose and Aria is doing. But and I think
- 48:39Speaker 1: I think all of us have a role to play.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I mean, we should be paying attention to
- 48:43Speaker 1: what Bruce is doing. We should be supporting that we
- 48:45Speaker 1: need more birthing centers in New York City. We should
- 48:48Speaker 1: be paying attention to what's going on in the midwifree profession.
- 48:51Speaker 1: We need more midwives, we need more black midwives. We
- 48:54Speaker 1: need more black obe guy nies we do. We need
- 48:57Speaker 1: more black doctors, and we need to be have the
- 49:00Speaker 1: conversation so that we can all figure out how do
- 49:03Speaker 1: we make it better for all of us? Absolutely, so,
- 49:07Speaker 1: where do they catch after Shock? At after Shock is
- 49:09Speaker 1: streaming right now on Hulu. And what do you all
- 49:12Speaker 1: hope this project? Does? You know? I hope that the
- 49:16Speaker 1: film after Shock, as I said, I hope it's a
- 49:18Speaker 1: conversation starter. I hope people watch it and talk about it.
- 49:22Speaker 1: I hope people debate it. You know, if they look
- 49:25Speaker 1: at well Felicia had an amazing birth and a birthing center,
- 49:28Speaker 1: you know, talk about how you feel about the idea
- 49:31Speaker 1: of birthing and a birthing center versus a hospital. Talk
- 49:34Speaker 1: about what does it mean to have a midwife? Learn more?
- 49:37Speaker 1: We do we cover the history of midwiffery in this country.
- 49:40Speaker 1: I mean, the obstetric profession really is based on taking
- 49:46Speaker 1: the economy of midwiffery out of the hands of black women,
- 49:51Speaker 1: put it in the hands of white doctors and hospitals,
- 49:54Speaker 1: putting us all into their hands into hospitals, and demonizing
- 49:59Speaker 1: black mid wives. We need to learn about our history
- 50:03Speaker 1: so that we understand how we got here. Does it
- 50:05Speaker 1: Sharon's cover midwives insurance does not cover midwife laws. We
- 50:09Speaker 1: need laws, and the good news is that there are
- 50:12Speaker 1: laws right now. There's the Momnibus bills that are in
- 50:15Speaker 1: Congress right now working their way through. As I said,
- 50:18Speaker 1: many of these deaths are postpartum, so for women who
- 50:22Speaker 1: are on Medicaid, we need Medicaid to extend for at
- 50:25Speaker 1: least a year postpartum. Often women who are on Medicaid,
- 50:28Speaker 1: they get kicked off very soon after delivery. We need
- 50:31Speaker 1: to keep them on. Midwives and dulas need to get paid,
- 50:35Speaker 1: they need to be covered as well. So all of that,
- 50:38Speaker 1: we need to figure out what's going on and vote,
- 50:40Speaker 1: because voting matters who's in office. We look at right
- 50:44Speaker 1: now what's happening with the reversal of Roe v. Wade,
- 50:47Speaker 1: which is going to impact Black women more than it
- 50:49Speaker 1: does anybody else, certainly when it comes to maternal deaths.
- 50:53Speaker 1: There is a study that just said maternal death for
- 50:56Speaker 1: Black women may go up thirty three percent because of
- 50:59Speaker 1: the jobs and everybody who voted for Donald Trump twice,
- 51:03Speaker 1: they're the ones that got us here. But I do
- 51:05Speaker 1: like the fact that the documentary does offer some optimism
- 51:09Speaker 1: and some solutions absolutely to move forward. And I do
- 51:12Speaker 1: feel like and Amari, thank you so much for actually
- 51:15Speaker 1: participating in agreeing to do the documentary and coming up
- 51:18Speaker 1: here to spread the knowledge you know, and the word
- 51:21Speaker 1: about it, and being so strong for your family. Yeah, no,
- 51:23Speaker 1: no problem. Thank you for having us. You know, this
- 51:25Speaker 1: is this is a moment. I really honestly feel like
- 51:29Speaker 1: the film came out at a perfect time where people
- 51:31Speaker 1: are listening. Our foundation, the ARIA Foundation, you know, the
- 51:35Speaker 1: ARIA and it self stands for the advancement of reproductive
- 51:39Speaker 1: innovation through all the strym healing, you know. So what
- 51:42Speaker 1: we're doing is we're really trying to intentionally create spaces
- 51:45Speaker 1: and places and talk about and have these conversations where
- 51:48Speaker 1: they weren't being had before. I'm sure. And make sure
- 51:51Speaker 1: you're gonna watch the aftershot documentary on Hulu. Amari made it.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Tanya Lewis Lee, thank you for joining us this morning.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. It's a breakfast club. This is
- 52:11Speaker 1: but R Kelly's former manager, Donelle Russell was convicted of
- 52:14Speaker 1: falsely threatening to shoot people, and that was at a
- 52:17Speaker 1: private viewing of Surviving R Kelly. They said that it
- 52:21Speaker 1: was a short phone call that was made. I actually
- 52:23Speaker 1: was there that day when they emptied out the theater.
- 52:26Speaker 1: They said the defendant was to the point and he
- 52:28Speaker 1: was terrifying someone at the event had a gun and
- 52:30Speaker 1: was going to shoot up the place. He wanted to
- 52:32Speaker 1: keep these women quiet, and he succeeded his threat. Work.
- 52:34Speaker 1: So it was a screening of Surviving r Kelly and
- 52:38Speaker 1: some of the women that were featured in that documentary
- 52:41Speaker 1: were there. It was going to be a screening and
- 52:42Speaker 1: then a sit down conversation that I was hosting, and
- 52:45Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, everybody get your coat and
- 52:47Speaker 1: get out, get out right now, And so everyone had
- 52:49Speaker 1: to evacuate the theater. The documentary had just started. It
- 52:52Speaker 1: was only a few minutes in. And so now he
- 52:55Speaker 1: has been convicted and he will be sentenced on November
- 52:57Speaker 1: twenty one of this year. By the way, all right now.
- 53:01Speaker 1: Kevin Hurt was on the Pivot podcast with um you know,
- 53:05Speaker 1: Channing Crowder, Ryan clock and Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder
- 53:08Speaker 1: talked a lot about different things, including the fact that
- 53:11Speaker 1: he goes to a nudest colony every year with his wife.
- 53:14Speaker 1: Me and my wife go to a nudest colony, Like
- 53:17Speaker 1: once a year we go to a nudest colony. Going
- 53:19Speaker 1: on and you know, we just kind of go around.
- 53:21Speaker 1: You gotta shave everything and show out. And especially when
- 53:24Speaker 1: you shave, your looks bigger because you gain interest from
- 53:27Speaker 1: no hair. Backup for a second, y'all. So y'all, y'all
- 53:31Speaker 1: get down, that's what you're saying. It's kind of the question.
- 53:33Speaker 1: But we don't get down, but we just like to
- 53:36Speaker 1: be around naked people together. You hear what you're saying.
- 53:39Speaker 1: I hear what I'm saying. It's just eat it. You
- 53:41Speaker 1: don't like to be around naked people, be honest with
- 53:43Speaker 1: you have no desire to be around a bunch of
- 53:45Speaker 1: people I don't know, just sitting there naked. But some people,
- 53:48Speaker 1: but the women you were like you better. As a
- 53:52Speaker 1: matter of fact, I'm willing the beat a good number.
- 53:55Speaker 1: It ain't a lot of put together people I want
- 53:57Speaker 1: to do hilarious. Can you imagine doing that? Well, I
- 54:02Speaker 1: guess it's like Heatonism. I've been in Heatonism a couple
- 54:05Speaker 1: of times. Yeah, we had a Yeah, I used to
- 54:07Speaker 1: be when I used to work at another radio station
- 54:10Speaker 1: in New York or that used to be the destination's
- 54:13Speaker 1: trip for radio trips. Really Jamaica actually, Bill Bellamy was
- 54:18Speaker 1: talking to me about when he went to Heatonism and
- 54:20Speaker 1: they had a Sunday Funday. Yeah, I've been to that.
- 54:23Speaker 1: You've been to Sunday Funday's been the Sunday Funday. It's
- 54:26Speaker 1: interesting when you go to place like Heatonism because literally
- 54:28Speaker 1: you can look out your window and it's just people
- 54:29Speaker 1: doing regular everyday activities, just button naked. Yeah. He said
- 54:32Speaker 1: they were sliding down, you know, into the pool. But
- 54:35Speaker 1: it's just like it's like being on a result, but
- 54:37Speaker 1: it's just everybody's naked, and you're like, damn, I don't
- 54:40Speaker 1: have the confidence of an old white man though, because
- 54:41Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even like nobody's seeing me when
- 54:43Speaker 1: I get fresh out the shower. So you was out
- 54:45Speaker 1: there chilling, and I think they had the fruit side
- 54:48Speaker 1: and the nude side. From what I heard, there's a
- 54:50Speaker 1: side where you can wear clothes and then there's another
- 54:52Speaker 1: side where you have to be naked. Right, Yeah, I
- 54:54Speaker 1: wouldn't call what I saw glyzzies. More like Vienna sausages,
- 54:57Speaker 1: not the Glizzie the big joint hand about the bunt night,
- 55:00Speaker 1: was it that more like Jim action? You know when
- 55:03Speaker 1: you see the old white man in the gym and all.
- 55:04Speaker 1: You see his hair head down there, Jim working at y'all,
- 55:11Speaker 1: do look crazy? I don't know. I gotta ask with you.
- 55:14Speaker 1: I gotta be clear, all right now. Will I Am
- 55:16Speaker 1: was on Skills Hip Hop Confessions podcast and he talked
- 55:20Speaker 1: about some of his favorite rap artists and but he
- 55:22Speaker 1: doesn't particularly care too much for a Biggie and Tupac.
- 55:26Speaker 1: I was such a trip. I'm such a tripe car
- 55:29Speaker 1: question deal, I soo head right that I don't like
- 55:31Speaker 1: Tupoc and big that that kind of music doesn't speak
- 55:34Speaker 1: to my spirit? Right, got you? Got you? So when
- 55:37Speaker 1: there's a conversation like that, it's I like, I like
- 55:41Speaker 1: boogie down productions, Caress One. If it's like tupocer Bigge
- 55:46Speaker 1: and like caress One, right, why why are those two?
- 55:49Speaker 1: Why those two? I'm going to the source, I'm going
- 55:51Speaker 1: prior Right. If it's Tupac and Biggie, I'm like, I don't,
- 55:56Speaker 1: I don't even I don't. I don't hold them up
- 55:58Speaker 1: like that, right, right, respect everybody's opinion, everybody has their
- 56:01Speaker 1: right to an opinion. But why Will I Am? Why
- 56:04Speaker 1: why did we need to hear that that that information?
- 56:06Speaker 1: Why and Furthermore, Tupacet Biggie in certain songs had those
- 56:10Speaker 1: same type of records, right, like, No, and I guarantee
- 56:14Speaker 1: you trip called Questions and day La Soul listening to
- 56:16Speaker 1: Biggie and Tupac keep your head up. I mean, that's
- 56:18Speaker 1: a clue. What are we talking about Scott? Like, what
- 56:21Speaker 1: are we talking about him? Will? I am just he
- 56:24Speaker 1: just he just didn't like Tupocet. Bick ain't nothing wrong,
- 56:26Speaker 1: that's nothing wrong. But he did say I would say
- 56:27Speaker 1: he did say Tuopocets dope. He said, don't get me wrong,
- 56:30Speaker 1: he was just not like, I don't think he's dope.
- 56:31Speaker 1: But he's saying that's not the music that spoke to
- 56:33Speaker 1: his spirit. I respect his opinion. I'm just saying I
- 56:37Speaker 1: don't respect his opinion, no, because I'm willing to debate
- 56:41Speaker 1: that tribe and Caras want a different type of daisy age.
- 56:45Speaker 1: I love all of that, you know what I mean?
- 56:46Speaker 1: So he does, he just didn't. And and by the way,
- 56:48Speaker 1: music is subjective, right, So different things speak to your
- 56:50Speaker 1: spirit at different times. There was times been night Marauders
- 56:52Speaker 1: spoke from my spirit. There was times life after death
- 56:54Speaker 1: spoke to my spirit. You know what, I'm saying it
- 56:56Speaker 1: was times by any means spoke to my spirit. There
- 56:58Speaker 1: was times that all I do on means both to
- 57:00Speaker 1: my spirit but likely like even me, I didn't get
- 57:02Speaker 1: into Caress One until a lot later because carross One
- 57:04Speaker 1: always itched on Queens, so I was just we just
- 57:06Speaker 1: didn't like caress One but different queens. Yeah, something from Queens.
- 57:10Speaker 1: So you know, I just never rock with caress When
- 57:12Speaker 1: at first, but tribal quest was in my neighborhood. Didn't
- 57:15Speaker 1: like poker early on, simply because of he used to
- 57:18Speaker 1: go at mob deeping biggie. I was a mob deeping
- 57:20Speaker 1: Biggie fan, same me, you know what I mean. But
- 57:21Speaker 1: then when I actually started listening to the park and
- 57:23Speaker 1: seeing hearing all the socially redeeming value that he had
- 57:25Speaker 1: in his music, I respected Caress One. I just didn't understand.
- 57:28Speaker 1: I don't you know sooth what I am? All right?
- 57:31Speaker 1: I who are you giving your don't keep you man?
- 57:34Speaker 1: Four after the hour, that's who you're giving it to?
- 57:40Speaker 1: What you're still thinking about that? Huh? You want to
- 57:44Speaker 1: do a radio trip? Then wh where did we go?
- 57:46Speaker 1: We go to Jamaica one time. It was not hedonism.
- 57:50Speaker 1: Four after the Why was people four after the hour?
- 57:53Speaker 1: Um top this? I don't think he glim Thompson. Glim Thompson,
- 57:59Speaker 1: a republic looking in. The lawmaker from Pennsylvania needs to
- 58:01Speaker 1: come to the front of the car. Get you. We'd
- 58:03Speaker 1: like to have a world with him. That what we
- 58:04Speaker 1: did the first radio I don't remember nothing, remember nothing
- 58:09Speaker 1: that never happened. Remember they're trying to do people with roommates.
- 58:14Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I think it was voluntary for Yeah,
- 58:16Speaker 1: I don't remember that. Well, Donkey Days up next, it's
- 58:19Speaker 1: the breakfast logan more. You want to go Charle Mayne
- 58:22Speaker 1: say the game. Don't get man? You are Donkey Today
- 58:31Speaker 1: does not discriminate. I might not have the song of today,
- 58:33Speaker 1: but I got to donkey that. So if you ever
- 58:35Speaker 1: feel I need to be a Donkey man the practice
- 58:40Speaker 1: club bitches, I just don't keep today today. Wow, donkeya
- 58:43Speaker 1: Today for Wednesday, July twenty seventh, go to a Republican
- 58:46Speaker 1: Pennsylvania lawmaker by the name of Glen Glenn Thompson. Now
- 58:50Speaker 1: Glenn Thompson joined the majority of his GOP colleagues and
- 58:53Speaker 1: voting against the House build that will codify federal protections
- 58:56Speaker 1: for same sex marriage. It's called the Respect for Marriage Act.
- 58:59Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what the Supreme Court just did
- 59:02Speaker 1: with abortion rights. That's not stopping at abortion, right, y'all
- 59:05Speaker 1: know that, right? You have to know that, right. Okay, Well,
- 59:08Speaker 1: Glenn Thompson was one of the majority of GOP colleagues
- 59:10Speaker 1: who voted against the bill that would codify federal protections
- 59:13Speaker 1: for same sex marriage. And that would usually be part
- 59:17Speaker 1: of the course in regards to the GOP. But Glenn
- 59:19Speaker 1: Thompson's vote against this might come as a surprise to
- 59:22Speaker 1: some folks simply because he has a gay son. All right,
- 59:26Speaker 1: not just the gay son, but Glenn Thompson actually attended
- 59:30Speaker 1: his gay son's wedding just three days after voting against
- 59:34Speaker 1: the bill to protect same sex marriage. You can't make
- 59:37Speaker 1: this kind of hypocrisy up. Let's go to NBC News
- 59:39Speaker 1: for the report. Police one of the Republican congressmen who
- 59:42Speaker 1: voted against protecting same sex marriage attended his gay son's
- 59:47Speaker 1: wedding three days later. The Respects for Marriage Jack passed
- 59:51Speaker 1: the House last Tuesday, but one hundred and fifty seven
- 59:53Speaker 1: Republicans voted no on that bipartisan bill. Pennsylvania Congressman Glenn
- 59:59Speaker 1: Thompson was one of them. He voted no, he said, nope,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: not going to defend gay marriage. His press secretary argued
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: it was nothing more than an election year messaging stunt.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: But after his gay son's wedding and a statement, his
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: spokeswoman said, Thompson and his wife were thrilled to attend
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: and celebrate their son's marriage on Friday night, as he
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: began this new chapter in his life, adding they are
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: very happy to welcome their new son in law into
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: the family. The GEOP sold gangster. I'm so impressed, not
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: by the hypocrisy, but by the call cassidy, the unmitigated
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: gall listen. I'm going to always be a fan of
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: unity and group operation. And it is not too many
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: entities who moved to the beat of the same drum
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: like the GOP. They not even in power in Washington,
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: but yet they have all the power because everybody on
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: the right, for the most part, is on the same page.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Oh the things Democrats could get done if they could
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: simply get people in their own party to vote as
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: one block. All Right, this man, Glenn Thompson has a
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: gay son, and just three days after voting to not
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: protect same sex marriage. He just pulled up to his
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: gay son's wedding like it was nothing. Right Now, if
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: you are a father who doesn't approve of your son's
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: lifestyle and you are a lawmaker, this is one way
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: to protest. But clearly he wasn't protesting his son's wedding
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: because he went I only get to go. But he
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: said he was thrilled to attend the NUB shows and
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: he was very happy to welcome a new son in
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: law into the family. Hey, Glynn Thompson out here like
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: business never personal. This right here, just let you know.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: Hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: of corruption. These people will vote against protecting the rights
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: of Americans all the while the same community of people
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: they are pressing be that brothers, sister's, father's, mother's They
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: don't care because they choose party over everything. All we
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: want it's for people to practice what they preach or
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: change their speech. How you showed up for your son
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: and his wedding. We want you to have that same
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: energy for everyone, but we want you to have that
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: same energy through legislation. Do it through laws. Okay, let
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: me tell you something, man, this is why I have
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: no faith in politics because one party clearly knows what
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: their agenda is, and when they are willing to vote
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: against their family, their own flesh and blood, the rest
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: of us don't stay the chance. Okay. If they are
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: willing to vote against laws that scripaway writes from their
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: own family, my god, the rest of us are doomed
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: because the other side isn't willing to do that. Okay.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: I used to believe hypocrite got offended by the truth.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: I don't believe that anymore because you can tell the
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: truth about Glenn Thompson being a hypocrite and he wouldn't care,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: because it's not like his vote was a secret. It's
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: not like him attending his son's same sex marriage was
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: a secret. They even had their spokesperson put out a statement,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: they don't care what you say about them because the
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: GOP has a plan and they are sticking to it.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: Please give Republican law maker Glen Thompson the biggest he hall,
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: even though he don't care. Let Chelsea Handle get some
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: of this. Even though Glenn Thompson don't care, he hee haw.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: That is way too much Dan Mayonnais. But Kathy Griffin

- 1:04:14Speaker 1: is asking what's up? Dominic? Hey? Ye, how are you
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: doing good? How are you I'm doing good. So what's
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: your question this morning? Yes, so I was having a
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: problem with a co worker and I just want to
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: know if either like I'm overreacted, like I should say nothing,
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: or if I should just let it fly, you know,
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: or if I do need to say something. I mean,
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: but tell me what's the problem. Okay, So here's what happened.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: Like maybe like a few weeks back, my co workers
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: are talking in a group, and you know, I'm like
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: the lone wolf. I come through when I feel like it.
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: So I just came and joined it the conversation and
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: one of the older women, she's like fifty sixty maybe.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: But when the older woman came in and she was like,
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: heyl girl, and I was like, I was like, uh,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: don't little girl me. And she was like, well, you know,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: I was just playing. I didn't mean to for you.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's okay, but just don't little
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: girl me. That's like rude, you know. So you know,
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: later on that day she's like, comes in and gets
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: me in private and she's like, I didn't really mean
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: to like talk to you like that. I was like,
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: I mean that's fine and everything, you know, just I
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: don't like to be disrespected and dada. But in the
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: middle of me talking, she's cutting me off. She's like
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: saying like, oh, I'm just laying you know that I'm sorry,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: or that I'm just sorry about the situation, or it's
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: not that big of a deal. I'm just sorry. I'm like,
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: how are you sorry if you're cutting me off? A
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: couple of things here. She did apologize, right, right, but
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: you feel like she didn't let you speak right, like,
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: let me say my piece because you're getting to say
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: your piece. Okay, So did you ever get a chance
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: to say your piece? No, you know, I kind of
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: just let it. I just kind of let it go because,
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: like you said, she didn't say sorry. So it's not
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: really something I dwell on and I don't just respect
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: my elders or anything like that, Like, you know, okay,
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: to me, this doesn't talk. This doesn't have to be something.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: I feel like that. You know, she meant to do
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: anything wrong to you, and you're right, sometimes people are
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: set in their ways and you do want to be respectful.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: And it feels like the fact that she pulled you
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: to the side to apologize, even though you didn't like
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: her apology, she did make that attempt, and so if
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: I were you, because sometimes when things like this happen
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: and you let it fester, it kind of builds up
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: and then you're gonna continue to have like a little
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: bit of a chip on your shoulder. You should actually
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: tell her be like, listen, I do want to say
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time to apologize. You know.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: One thing is I didn't get a chance to really
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: speak and say what it is that I had to say,
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: and I just wanted to say X y Z and
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: I would love for us to be able to move
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: forward and not have any more misunders dan Is in
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: the future. But I do thank you for making that
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: effort to reach out. Well, I gotta tell you why
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: I'm burning it up today, okay, because you know that
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: was a few weeks ago, and nawas seems like she's
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: the one walking around with the problem with me, like
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: I'm not addressing it. I'm not saying not singing about it.
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: But now it seems like they're saying like tension in
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: the room or whatever, And I don't know if I
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: should address it. Baseball, Yeah you should. Sometimes these things
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: are just to disconnect. I think you should definitely address it.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: Just say, look, I feel like there's a little bit
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: of a tension. So I just would love for us
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: because I appreciate how you came to me first to
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: apologize for what you did, and I want to make
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: sure that we're able to move forward without any issues.
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: And definitely address it though, because it doesn't feel like
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: something that's not fixable, and things get blown out of
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: proportion when people don't communicate. It can start here and
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: then snowball and continuing. That feels like it's already starting.
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: So you need to stop it now and stop it.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: Dead and attracted. Wasn't anything that was like I can
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: never mess with this person again. I need to lead
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: this job and quit. But before I gets to that point,
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: just understand Jim misunderstanding. Who knows, maybe y'all would be
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: way tighter than ever after that, right that part? So yeah,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: thank you, no problem, take care, all right, all right?
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: We got more with ye when we come back. If
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: you got questions, call up right now. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Good morning. I think everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: the guy we all the Breakfast Club with in the
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: middle of ask ye hello, who's this morning? My name
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: is Sean. What up? Sean? What's your question today? So
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: my question is, uh, me and my fiance, we've been
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: together for a while and her mom is just seemed
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: very dictative over her life, and we bump heads a lot,
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: and I was just trying to see, like, what's the
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: way for us not to bump heads and get along
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: just when we fed and get married. Well, what is
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: your fiance have to say about that? Well? She she
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: had to say that, you know her mom and her mom,
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: she's she loved her mom. Her mom's very oranged and
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: the fact that she is elderly or old and and
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: she's her mom is like fignies. But she just pretty
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: much to say that her mom is just there. They
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: got a good bond. Okay, so you feel this way,
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: but your fiance doesn't feel this way, right, So really
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: your bumping heads with both her and her mom. Well
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: she's yeah, whenever me her mom bumphd the mom her
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: mom couldn't get at her, so then makes me and
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: her bump head. So yeah, so give me an example
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: of like what makes her mom controlling? So like we
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: might be have a dinner date set up and going
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: out to dinner and then have other plans after that
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: for her mom. For a callar like hey I need you,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: I just need some help real quick or whatever. Uh,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: and she was like, well, we're out doing something her
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: mom would be touching around getting mad to where we
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: have to start what we're doing for her to go
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: over to her all right, So this sounds like something
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: that your fiance really needs to handle with her mom,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: and it's not really anything that you should confront the
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: mother about. It feels like she needs to be the
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: person that takes charge of this and figure out why
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: is it that her mom makes her feel guilty and
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: why she feels like she can't prioritize you at certain
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: times if it's not an emergency, right right. So I
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: feel like this is an issue that you need to
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: talk to her about about how she handles her relationship
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: with her mother because I don't think that her mom
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: will respect it coming from you. It has to come
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: from her own daughter, and her daughter has to be
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: willing to do that. So this is all about setting boundaries, right.
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: So what that means is for your fiance, you need
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: to let her know, look, if it's not an emergency
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: or if we're out and your mom is calling, you know,
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: let her know you're in the middle of something. Tell
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: that she can text you or put your phone on.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Do not disturb if you guys are having a planned
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: to night out, because that's not fair to you. And
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: so she needs to understand there has to be some
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: boundary set in their relationship or us. It's going to
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: affect your relationship now clearly if there's an emergency of
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: something that she has to handle. Yes, by all means,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: you're supportive of that, but it's not going to be
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: you against her mom and should never be that, right,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: you know, that's a that's a hard thing to make.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: Somebody have to make that decision in that choice, and
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: you really want the mom to be more um, you know,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: accepting and supportive of your relationship than combative when it
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: comes to that, right, because that doesn't feel good either. Right.
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: So okay, and what about this, because I'm trying to
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: get her to us for her life on me. My
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: fiance is is thirty, so she's been here in the
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: city all her life and I'm trying to her to
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: support the city and move out of the city. But
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: her it's just like something guess and with her mom
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: to where her mom won't let her move out and
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: mom doesn't want her to break that court. But does
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: she want to move? She's saying no, she she jato
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: move because of her mom. Her mom would be upset
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: and mad at her if she was to leave. Well,
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: how far are y'all trying to move? Is it someplace
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: that she could drive to where it's easily accessible? No,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: it a fight. You know, that's hard. That's hard to
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: have somebody up with their whole life. And if you
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: guys are getting married and can't even agree on where
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: you want to live, that's an issue. And I don't know,
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: are you moving just for the sake of moving her
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: away from her mom? Or is there something else going on? No,
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: just for the sake of you know, we're still young,
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: old kids. We got great careers and it's a whole
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: life out there there's floored. Well why not just go
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: on vacations. Why do you have to move right away?
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: I mean that just because you know, how you be
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: in the same city like we in North Carolina and
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: we'd be here on our life and even if we
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: go visit and doing all this other stuff. I mean,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: it's just I just feel like it's a whole lot
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: more out there, you know, I mean, we don't dine
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: everything here, right, but look, I say this, take your time,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: deal with getting through this period of time we're getting
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: married with deciding. Look, if y'all find other great opportunities elsewhere,
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: that might be a reason to move. But if somebody
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: doesn't want to, you can't force somebody to want to move.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: It has to be something that's gonna make her feel like,
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: this is something I'm excited and want to do. You know.
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: It's it's baby steps, yeah, baby steps, yeah. Okay, all right,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: all right, thank you, all right, no problem, Good luck
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: on getting married, all right, take care all right. Now,

- 1:16:01Speaker 1: situation said that shell Time asked their manager, Victor Lopez,
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: to no longer attend tapings or appear in meetings. Jesus
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: allegedly took Showtime side as a network accused Lopez of
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: a whole behavior, and Merrill reported Lea stood by Lopez.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: So those are just some of what sources are saying,
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: all right. Kendrick Lamar sat down with Jazzy's World TV
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: We Love Her, and he talked about a viral clip

- 1:19:08Speaker 1: y'all have vegan burgers? And you said, yes, you do,
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Yes we do, But I don't have either with me,
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: right because I thought the chef was gonna come up
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: with me last night, but he couldn't. He had to
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: go home and get everything ready because we got a
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: big day Friday. I was going on Friday for people
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: that don't know Bud all right, So on Tuesday in Houston,
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: Good Morning, well all of this week, Good Morning America
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: is going around the country looking for the best burger
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: in America. So they went to four different cities. Houston
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: was one of them. I competed against the Brad called
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: Burger Chin a really good competition, um, but we won.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: And so Troll Burgers is one of four burgers that
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: are going to compete for the best burger in America
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: on Good Morning in America in Times Square that I
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: don't know, okay, because I can't talk. They won't tell us,
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: so I can't like hop into DM and shoot, you
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: don't lead. Because everybody who's had the Trill Burger loves it.
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: They go crazy for it. So it looks amazing like
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: it just looks like a tasty assurger. We put a
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: lot into it, you know. When I was approached by
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: Andy Win the next Kirtfield about partnering with them on
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: this burger, I was I'd been looking for an entry
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: point into the food industry for a while, and they
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: approached me with a concept that was very easy to
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: consistently produce, very easy to scale up and replicate. And
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: when I tried to burger, I was like, Yo, this
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: is like a real good burger. Can't you get better?
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: And they were like, yeah, I give us a couple
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: of days. We think we can improve on it. When
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: I came back and tried it the second time. I
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: was like, I'm ready to go. And we sat around
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: for a while trying to think, alike, you know, we
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: gonna buns buns buns Burgers. I'm like, look, we got
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: a brand that with thirty years of blood, sweat and
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: tists equity. Let's just call it trill Burgers. Everybody will
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: know what it is. As long as they see my
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: face associated with the name, they'll know it's official. And
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: we put that product out there about a little over
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: a year ago at the Taste Maker Awards and Houston,
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: which is the biggest culinary rewards for restaurants and chefs
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: in the city, and we had the biggest line all night,
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: and the momentum just built up from there. We've been
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: traveling around the country doing pop ups and catering events
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: and festivals really has been like the big one for
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: us because a festival allows me to be in one
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: place for three days. The cultural queue point works because
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: it's a hip hop festival. My brand works in that space.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: So I'll get people to show up just on GP
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: just to show love be like, you know, well let's
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: just see if the burger is good. Then they tried
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: to realize the burger is great, and now they're in
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: one place for three days. So after they tried on
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: Friday and they like it, they come back Saturday, they
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: bring their friends. People see the line getting longer every day,
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: so it exponentially increases every day through festivals and that's
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: been a good business model. Yeah, my fat as definitely
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: tried to get a Trill burger at the Black Effect
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: Podcast Festival, but that was more for my own personal
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: reasons than everybody else. Yeah. No, I've seen James Harden
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: tried the other day and then you said, before you
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: put your Kim robbed the tape on the burger. Yeah. No,
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: it's crazy. As soon as I pulled it, like he
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: was eating the burger, I was like, hold on, let
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: me get my phone, let me get some footage of this.
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: And by the time I got the phone out, the
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: man had one bite left and by the time I
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: started recording, he was done. Um. And it's crazy because
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: my niece said, Uncle, Bunna, we're gonna have to start
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: asking for dietary restriction. Because I took my nieces and
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: my granddaughter to roll Aloud and all they wanted to
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: do was me baby, a little baby, and we got
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: the little baby, and baby wanted a burger, but he
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: doesn't like cheese on his burger. So we're gonna create
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: like a special plane Jane. The plane Jane is gonna
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: be the next tril Burger. What's your favorite what's your
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: favorite things on the on the tril Burger. So I'm
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: in you. It's very simple. That's that's the way that
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: we're able to keep Oh no, for me, I mean,
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: we got my my burgers, the Trillo Gee Burger, you
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's my namesake. Two slices of
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: American cheese, two one fourth pound patties, two pickles or
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: patting the trill sauce, and Mark's potato rock Man Mama
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: drooling over here, you know. And it's it's an amazing burger.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: Like I tell people that people think I'm over talking
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: as people should like they should think that their brand
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: is But when you try my burger, you realize, Joe,
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: this burger really is the best burger in the world.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: I mean, it's a balance of catch up in Mayo,
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: but there's also a third ingredient that I don't say. Okay,
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: I knew it. I get you close. But I get
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: you close and I can't take you all away. I
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: knew it was good when I saw a little du
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: ball eating. Now I tech the Boston man the trie
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: burger really that good. He's in No, man, goodall don't
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: eat people. Don't realize I got crunchy black to eat
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: the burger. Wow. And crushy black don't eat food. Wow.
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And he ate the whole burger.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: He's like, I ain't stopped it to like eat this
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: whole burger. And the first thing Paul would say, Hey man,
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: that man don't eat food. So it's gotta be good.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: Damn No, We're getting a really good reaction for people. Man,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: we got a really good product. We believe in it.
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: We got the Trilog Burger. We have the Onion Burger,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: which is basically a Trilog which mother caramelized onions on top.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: And then we got the vegan Burger. Because I don't
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: want to leave people out of this process. I know
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: a lot of people um and communities of color on
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: embracing a healthier lifestyle, So we want to be a
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: part of that. We want to make sure that everybody
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: that wants to get a tril Burger, has access to
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: a trail Burger and has one that they would prefer
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: that that's coming. I keep getting a lot of calls
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: about turkey burgers, you know what I'm saying, and Turkey
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: burger turkey patties. Um, you saw, it's different and you
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: have to flavor different. Yeah, um, I feel it needs
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: a lot more flavor. Yeah. But my thing is, I
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: really want to at some point try I don't know
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: if anybody's ever had Ground Lamb, but Ground Lamb actually
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: holds season. It really, really well. I loved Ground. Some
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: friends of mine in Houston and Eat Boys. They had created, um,
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: the Lamb Burger a couple of years ago, and I
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: was like, I didn't even really like Lamb until they
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: did that. And then I tried another Lamb Burger and
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: I realized how it holds a season. So we want
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: to have a MEANU that gives everybody the opportunity to
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: come in and try Trilburger. So, yeah, turkey Burgers and
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: chicken burgers or something that we have to consider franchise open.
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: And though I know the Trillburger franchise coming, yeah, No.
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: My thing is, you know, in order to do this
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: properly for the long run, I have to get that
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: one door done right, you know, give it about a year.
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: Figure out my system in terms of source and ingredients.
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: You know, staffing is going to be a problem as
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: this brand explode. So I'm just trying to scale how
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: we approach this because I get cast every day. You
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Every time you see somebody of
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: status and means try trill burger, I got bread, I
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: got money, I'm want in because they know this is
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: going to work. They see me as a salesman out
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: here working this brand myself, so they know that this
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: thing is going to work. But and it would be
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: cool to just take all this cash and the fuse
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: the company, but that would just dilute my shares of
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: a company. But also, man, I just want to take
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: my time with this because I really think I have
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: the best burger in the world, and I just want
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: to take the time to bring it out to people carefully.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: I agree with that open your flagship, make sure that
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: everything when you do franchise, they have to do some
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: type of quality control. Absolutely still represents the brand no
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: matter what. And we want to hire from within so
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: we want to bring people on this team that you
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: know who started in our kitchen and moved to the
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: front of the house and eventually become you know, managers
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: and district managers, regional managers, trainers and eventually franchise owner.
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: You know, I would love to build this company from
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: the bottom and make a whole new batch of rich
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: Paul's out here in the food industry. Bunba tomorrow, he's
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: gonna be a good Morning America. Yeah, it's not. It
