- 0:32Speaker 1: But you know what's interesting? You know how some mornings,
- 0:34Speaker 1: you know, you get to a certain age. Some mornings,
- 0:36Speaker 1: you just wake up with more energy than others. Today
- 0:38Speaker 1: is one of those mornings.
- 0:38Speaker 5: You have more energy?
- 0:40Speaker 7: Yes, I feel really good today. Really vibrating on a
- 0:43Speaker 7: high level, guys. Yeah, I was supposed to go out
- 0:46Speaker 7: last night. I wanted to go see Street Fighter. They
- 0:48Speaker 7: had a premiere last night.
- 0:49Speaker 4: They did.
- 0:49Speaker 5: But I just couldn't make it. My kids had activities.
- 0:51Speaker 7: I wanted to go, and I was planning to go.
- 0:54Speaker 1: You know what's so funny? Schultz texted me, and he
- 0:57Speaker 1: was like, yo, you going to the premiere? And I
- 0:59Speaker 1: was teetering, and then I was like, man, I'm tired.
- 1:03Speaker 1: So I went home to get some sleep, and then
- 1:04Speaker 1: he texted me last night. He was like, yo, I'm
- 1:06Speaker 1: on the way to the after party. And I'm like, bro,
- 1:08Speaker 1: I'm in the bed. And it was 9. I looked
- 1:10Speaker 1: at the clock. It was 9.40. So I'm glad I
- 1:13Speaker 1: went to bed. That's probably why I feel good this morning.
- 1:15Speaker 1: But I am going to go see Street Fighter today.
- 1:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to go see it, too.
- 1:18Speaker 7: I wanted to take my son, Jackson, but I tell you,
- 1:20Speaker 7: Jackson went camping yesterday, so he wasn't even here, and
- 1:22Speaker 7: I didn't want to.
- 1:23Speaker 5: My wife doesn't care about Street Fighter.
- 1:25Speaker 6: I was going to bring Logan, but Logan.
- 1:26Speaker 1: They said it was great.
- 1:27Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I heard it was really, really good. People are going
- 1:29Speaker 1: to say I'm biased because Andrew Schultz is in it,
- 1:31Speaker 1: but they said it was great.
- 1:32Speaker 5: But I'm going to go check it out.
- 1:34Speaker 1: 50 hosted the premiere last night.
- 1:35Speaker 5: Yeah, he hosted the premiere.
- 1:36Speaker 6: Yeah, he hosted the premiere last night.
- 1:37Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:37Speaker 7: Salute to Fifth and Renee and the whole G unit.
- 1:39Speaker 7: I missed it last night. Yeah, I'm going to go watch.
- 1:41Speaker 7: I'm definitely going to go see it today.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Plus, man, the way I like to watch my movies
- 1:45Speaker 1: is different. Premieres are cool, you know, but I'd much
- 1:48Speaker 1: rather be in the back of the movie theater by
- 1:50Speaker 1: myself with a bucket of popcorn. You know what I mean?
- 1:52Speaker 9: I agree.
- 1:53Speaker 7: The problem with premieres is sometimes people talking too much.
- 1:55Speaker 7: I just like to enjoy a movie.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. It's a lot. I'm not going
- 1:58Speaker 1: there for the look. I'm going there because I actually
- 2:00Speaker 1: want to see the film. Absolutely.

- 4:06Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 4:08Speaker 10: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
- 4:11Speaker 10: largest injury law firm. So we're starting this morning in California, California.
- 4:15Speaker 10: That's where the Trump administration is threatening to take the
- 4:18Speaker 10: state to court over voters it believes may not be U.S.
- 4:21Speaker 4: Citizens.
- 4:22Speaker 10: So the Justice Department, they sent letters to the state.
- 4:26Speaker 10: They want them to verify their citizenship. They say there's
- 4:28Speaker 10: lots of people there who may not be eligible to vote.
- 4:31Speaker 10: They say if the state cannot verify their citizenship, they
- 4:35Speaker 10: want their mail-in ballots set aside and not counted until their.
- 4:38Speaker 12: Eligibility can be confirmed.
- 4:40Speaker 10: California was given 48 hours to comply and that deadline
- 4:44Speaker 10: expires at noon today.
- 4:46Speaker 12: So if the state does.
- 4:47Speaker 10: Not comply, that deadline, of course, will expire. But the
- 4:50Speaker 10: Trump administration says it will ask a federal judge to
- 4:53Speaker 10: step in immediately. Here is Mark Elias, founder of Democracy Docket,
- 4:58Speaker 10: with more.
- 4:59Speaker 8: Right.
- 5:00Speaker 13: Like like they are constantly suggesting that there are these
- 5:04Speaker 13: widespread problems only to find out that when you actually
- 5:08Speaker 13: do the work. When you actually check into it, their
- 5:12Speaker 13: data is just garbage. And it may be garbage on purpose.
- 5:17Speaker 13: It may be garbage by accident. But it's garbage. And
- 5:22Speaker 13: we are three weeks from this midterm election. Less than
- 5:27Speaker 13: three weeks. And this is what they are spreading.
- 5:30Speaker 12: Yeah, so let's be clear.
- 5:31Speaker 10: It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections,
- 5:34Speaker 10: but studies have.
- 5:35Speaker 12: Repeatedly found that it is extremely rare.
- 5:38Speaker 10: There is no evidence of widespread non-citizen voting in U.S.
- 5:42Speaker 12: Elections. But Governor Gavin Newsom, he is responding.
- 5:46Speaker 10: He wrote on social media, California elections are not Donald
- 5:50Speaker 10: Trump's to control. We will ensure that every California voter
- 5:53Speaker 10: can participate in a free and fair election. We'll see
- 5:58Speaker 10: what happens at noon today when that deadline expires. But meanwhile,
- 6:01Speaker 10: early voting in Georgia is underway. Voters are already breaking records.
- 6:05Speaker 10: The state saw its highest first day turnout ever for
- 6:09Speaker 10: a midterm election yesterday. with voters showing up in record
- 6:12Speaker 10: numbers to cast their ballot. And there's a lot on
- 6:15Speaker 10: the ballot this year. Georgia voters are choosing a governor,
- 6:17Speaker 10: a U.S. senator, members of Congress, and state lawmakers.
- 6:21Speaker 12: Those are the people who.
- 6:22Speaker 10: Will make decisions about everything from the economy to education
- 6:26Speaker 10: to health care, early voting. It continues through October 30th,
- 6:30Speaker 10: and Election Day, of course, is November 3rd.
- 6:33Speaker 12: And lastly, guys, gas prices. They hit a new record,
- 6:36Speaker 12: but not a good one.
- 6:38Speaker 10: For 158 days this year, the national average has been
- 6:42Speaker 10: above $ 4 a gallon. That's more than any other year
- 6:46Speaker 10: on record.
- 6:46Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Right?
- 6:49Speaker 12: And of course, drivers are feeling it at the pump.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Let's listen.
- 6:52Speaker 6: Gas prices are astronomical. I put $ 50 in there yesterday.
- 6:55Speaker 6: You see, I'm back at the gas station today. What
- 6:57Speaker 6: can you do? You got to get back and forth
- 6:59Speaker 6: to work. I was thinking about buying a scooter or
- 7:01Speaker 6: a bike.
- 7:03Speaker 1: And you can point exactly to the problem. The reason
- 7:05Speaker 1: gas prices are so high because of the Middle East
- 7:08Speaker 1: conflict and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. As
- 7:11Speaker 1: a direct result of the war in Iran, that is
- 7:13Speaker 1: why gas prices are so high. So, you know, please
- 7:15Speaker 1: remember the president, Donald Trump, said we wouldn't be in
- 7:18Speaker 1: any new wars. Yet here we are. So your gas
- 7:20Speaker 1: prices are high.
- 7:21Speaker 6: Yes, it's ridiculous. I mean, I tried.
- 7:23Speaker 7: I think I put like forty dollars in my tank
- 7:25Speaker 7: yesterday and it got me maybe just a little over caught.
- 7:29Speaker 7: I can believe it. It is super duper expensive out there.
- 7:32Speaker 7: And it makes you think about where you want to go, right?
- 7:34Speaker 7: If you have some place to go, you'd be like...
- 7:37Speaker 7: gas is a little high man maybe i'll stay home
- 7:38Speaker 7: at this time and and it shouldn't be.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Like that why you only put 40 in your tank
- 7:42Speaker 4: i just.
- 7:42Speaker 7: I've been just putting 40 regardless like 40 on pump
- 7:45Speaker 7: three that's just okay what i do you know it
- 7:48Speaker 7: might be stupid but that's it.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Is stupid you should just fill up your tank i just.
- 7:51Speaker 7: You know it's just i just put 40 i just
- 7:54Speaker 7: only want to see 40 leave my bank that's my
- 7:56Speaker 7: my my cash i mean.
- 7:57Speaker 1: I fill up my tank just for time because i
- 7:59Speaker 1: don't want to have to keep going back to the
- 8:01Speaker 1: gas station.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Two and three times but it's And we got to
- 8:04Speaker 4: get home to his family.
- 8:05Speaker 1: You know that.
- 8:09Speaker 12: Well, you guys are right.
- 8:10Speaker 10: Gas prices last year were $ 3 a gallon before the
- 8:13Speaker 10: war with Iran.
- 8:15Speaker 12: And then diesel, of course, is $ 6. 29 a gallon.
- 8:17Speaker 10: And we know when diesel prices go up, you see
- 8:20Speaker 10: that through your groceries and every.
- 8:22Speaker 12: Other product that you buy.
- 8:23Speaker 10: And lastly, inflation numbers show the cost of living is
- 8:26Speaker 10: still going up. Prices are 3.7% higher today. in September
- 8:31Speaker 10: than they were a year ago. And gas prices are
- 8:34Speaker 10: helping drive up that increase. So we're just seeing it
- 8:36Speaker 10: all across the board, guys.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I got mad at myself yesterday, actually, because I filled
- 8:39Speaker 1: up my tank and I had to do it myself
- 8:40Speaker 1: because the guy wasn't around for some reason. And it
- 8:42Speaker 1: didn't click when it filled. So I wasn't paying attention.
- 8:45Speaker 1: So some of it splashed out.
- 8:48Speaker 6: I was so mad.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I was so mad. I was like, but that was
- 8:50Speaker 1: at least $ 73 right there. Well, at least the splash
- 8:53Speaker 1: out was about $ 15.
- 8:54Speaker 4: $ 15? I don't know.
- 8:55Speaker 1: I'm just making up things.
- 8:56Speaker 5: It was a lot.
- 8:57Speaker 4: That's a lot.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I could have cut some grass.
- 8:59Speaker 4: I know somebody crying right now. You know what I'm saying?
- 9:01Speaker 4: They could have used that.
- 9:02Speaker 8: Yeah.

- 9:42Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 9:44Speaker 8: I'm just leaving work and I'm looking at the gas
- 9:46Speaker 8: price in the field. It just pisses me off because
- 9:49Speaker 8: I work with guys at the plant that brag about
- 9:52Speaker 8: something this and that. Yet they are still crying about
- 9:55Speaker 8: the gas prices.
- 9:56Speaker 1: They can't possibly still be bragging about Trump at this point.
- 10:00Speaker 8: Point. They are.
- 10:01Speaker 9: They are.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Oh, that's crazy.
- 10:03Speaker 8: They're like, they want you to get mad about it.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Oh, okay, so they trolling you. But yeah, at this point,
- 10:09Speaker 1: they're either just trolling or they're in a cult, because
- 10:11Speaker 1: there's no way.
- 10:12Speaker 4: They hurting, too.
- 10:13Speaker 9: Yeah, that's all I gotta say, man.

- 10:26Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 10:27Speaker 14: Good morning, Jess.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Hey, girl.
- 10:29Speaker 9: Hey, girl.
- 10:30Speaker 14: I just called in this morning just to speak on
- 10:33Speaker 14: how blessed and favored I've been.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Oh, I want to hear that.
- 10:38Speaker 14: Even when I feel I don't deserve it, God ain't
- 10:40Speaker 14: took his hands off me.
- 10:42Speaker 1: There you go. I like to hear that.
- 10:43Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 10:44Speaker 14: You know, I don't know if y'all know, but it's
- 10:45Speaker 14: this new virus going around called the rhinovirus.
- 10:48Speaker 1: That's the one that's in your butt? No.
- 10:50Speaker 14: Oh, it's not in your butt.
- 10:52Speaker 1: What's the one that needs to be... It's a respiratory.
- 10:54Speaker 8: Oh, okay.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, you're talking about... I thought you were talking
- 10:57Speaker 1: about Shigella. Okay, rhino. Talk to us about rhino.
- 10:59Speaker 5: Everything's in his butt, Asia.
- 11:00Speaker 4: I never heard of rhino.
- 11:02Speaker 12: Damn.
- 11:03Speaker 15: I know.
- 11:03Speaker 14: It's too much, all right?
- 11:05Speaker 1: No, shit. We were talking about Shigella last week. But
- 11:07Speaker 1: tell me about rhino.
- 11:09Speaker 14: No, but the rhinovirus, it's a respiratory virus. It shows
- 11:12Speaker 14: up like a cold. But it's really attacking these children.
- 11:17Speaker 14: My son, he just had his ninth birthday. And the
- 11:21Speaker 14: day we were supposed to have his party, he woke
- 11:23Speaker 14: up saying his chest hurt. So I took him to
- 11:26Speaker 14: the hospital. They ended up airlifting him to a cardiac
- 11:32Speaker 14: unit in intensive care. The rhinovirus ended up enlarging his heart.
- 11:39Speaker 14: and attacking his lungs and had him not able to
- 11:42Speaker 14: breathe on his own. So he was on oxygen, EKGs, MRIs,
- 11:46Speaker 14: the whole thing.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Oh, boy. I'm emailing Dr. Puma right now and asking Dr. Puma,
- 11:51Speaker 1: should I bring my kids in to just see him?
- 11:54Speaker 5: Yeah, you scared me.
- 11:55Speaker 14: You know, if they showing signs of a cold, because
- 11:57Speaker 14: it just looks like a cough or runny nose. But
- 12:00Speaker 14: take those things serious, because it was a very trying
- 12:03Speaker 14: time for me. I ended up missing so much work.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Is he good now?
- 12:06Speaker 14: My kids are going to come first. He was good
- 12:09Speaker 14: enough to leave the ICU. He's home now. He has
- 12:13Speaker 14: like a heart monitor thing that he's on because it still.
- 12:15Speaker 9: Has some after effects.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:18Speaker 5: What's the treatment for it?
- 12:19Speaker 14: He should be back to himself in about six months.
- 12:22Speaker 5: What's the treatment for it?
- 12:23Speaker 4: Six months? He should be back to himself?
- 12:25Speaker 8: Yes.
- 12:25Speaker 14: There is no cure for this. They just kind of
- 12:29Speaker 14: treat the symptoms. So, you know, they were giving him
- 12:32Speaker 14: oxygen for the breathings. But there's no medication. Clearly, he's
- 12:36Speaker 14: got to let it run its course.
- 12:38Speaker 4: Did they give him anything for his chest pains?
- 12:40Speaker 14: Just some pain medication.
- 12:43Speaker 7: Nothing unheard of.
- 12:47Speaker 5: Did he have asthma before here?
- 12:50Speaker 14: No, he didn't have asthma. He was a healthy boy.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Damn.
- 12:54Speaker 5: Now you just scared the ish out of us.
- 12:56Speaker 1: So the symptoms you saw seemed like a cold.
- 12:59Speaker 14: Just like a cold.
- 12:59Speaker 1: And then he started complaining about his chest hurting.
- 13:01Speaker 14: Yeah, he said his chest hurting. You know, I took
- 13:03Speaker 14: that serious. We're going straight to the emergency room with
- 13:05Speaker 14: a chest pain.
- 13:06Speaker 1: That's right. That's right. How old was he again?
- 13:09Speaker 14: Eight or nine. It happened a couple days after his
- 13:11Speaker 14: ninth birthday.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Got you.
- 13:12Speaker 9: Got you.
- 13:12Speaker 7: Yeah, they're saying the rhinoviruses are the leading cause of
- 13:15Speaker 7: the common cold, responsible for roughly 50 to 80% of
- 13:18Speaker 7: upper respiratory tract infections.
- 13:20Speaker 9: Oh, boy.
- 13:20Speaker 5: Now you're going to scare the ish out of me.
- 13:22Speaker 14: This new version is attacking these children. So keep y'all
- 13:26Speaker 14: kids home. If they got a cough or runny nose,
- 13:28Speaker 14: please don't send them to these folks' schools because you
- 13:31Speaker 14: never know how it's going to affect your child.
- 13:33Speaker 5: Jesus.

- 20:06Speaker 1: Talk to me top dog low good.
- 20:08Speaker 16: Morning everybody So, hey, y'all, let's get into it. I
- 20:12Speaker 16: have some exclusive updates on this Diddy story that is
- 20:16Speaker 16: currently circulating.
- 20:16Speaker 17: So there is a report right now.
- 20:18Speaker 16: TMZ did a report exclusively that Diddy's head injury that
- 20:22Speaker 16: sent him to the hospital over the weekend was a
- 20:24Speaker 16: result of a altercation, a physical altercation with a Jamaican
- 20:28Speaker 16: drug lord named Christopher Dudas.
- 20:30Speaker 8: Dudas.
- 20:31Speaker 9: Dudas.
- 20:34Speaker 16: He has been serving time at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
- 20:39Speaker 16: His release date, Dutta, as of today on the Bureau
- 20:44Speaker 16: of Prisons website is January 2029.
- 20:45Speaker 17: And he's there because, I mean.
- 20:49Speaker 16: We don't even got to get into all the background,
- 20:50Speaker 16: but he's no joke. Now, I spoke to a family member.
- 20:54Speaker 16: I spoke to a family member of Diddy's who tells
- 20:56Speaker 16: me that this story is completely false, that there was
- 20:58Speaker 16: not a fight at all.
- 21:00Speaker 17: Diddy is or was currently in the shoe.
- 21:03Speaker 16: I know in the story that was published, it said that,
- 21:06Speaker 16: you know, there was like the altercation happened at some
- 21:08Speaker 16: point when Diddy was able to be released because they
- 21:10Speaker 16: get some time outside of the hole that they're in.
- 21:12Speaker 16: And I'm told that when he is allowed outside of
- 21:15Speaker 16: the wherever they're holding him at in the shoe, that
- 21:18Speaker 16: time is guarded. So it wouldn't have been able to happen.
- 21:20Speaker 16: So when they shower, it's guarded. They get their food
- 21:22Speaker 16: brought to them. If they're outside of the shoe for
- 21:24Speaker 16: whatever amount of time, it is guarded.
- 21:25Speaker 7: So what about that other video that we saw online?
- 21:29Speaker 5: Was that a real video?
- 21:30Speaker 6: Do we know?
- 21:31Speaker 16: From what I'm told, they said that they believe that
- 21:33Speaker 16: that is a real video. And that was, remember I
- 21:35Speaker 16: told you guys maybe a month or so ago now
- 21:38Speaker 16: that Diddy had gotten into a fight with another inmate.
- 21:41Speaker 16: And he had got put into the shoe for that fight. That,
- 21:44Speaker 16: they say, is that fight. Those images in that video
- 21:46Speaker 16: that we saw.
- 21:46Speaker 7: But you just told me it's always guarded and there
- 21:48Speaker 7: wouldn't be no fights. But you said that fight is real.
- 21:50Speaker 16: No, he had the fight and then he was placed
- 21:51Speaker 16: in the shoe. This one right here, he was already
- 21:53Speaker 16: in the shoe. Remember, we talked about that last week.
- 21:55Speaker 16: And I told you guys that I asked his team, like, whoa,
- 21:58Speaker 16: if you spoke to him last week, did he tell
- 22:00Speaker 16: you anything? How did this happen if he was in there?
- 22:02Speaker 16: But yeah, they're pushing back. They're saying this is completely false. Like,
- 22:05Speaker 16: even if he showers, it is guarded. And the hospital thing,
- 22:07Speaker 16: I asked, well, what was he taken to the hospital for?
- 22:09Speaker 16: And they say that they're not 100% certain of what
- 22:12Speaker 16: it was, but it definitely wasn't anything crazy because he
- 22:14Speaker 16: was brought right back to the jail. And a lot
- 22:16Speaker 16: of times people in the shoe will do this, will
- 22:18Speaker 16: ask to be taken to an outside hospital just to
- 22:20Speaker 16: get some time out of the solitary confinement that they
- 22:22Speaker 16: are in.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Is there a reason that people care so much? I
- 22:26Speaker 1: guess because it's Diddy?
- 22:26Speaker 4: Because it's Diddy.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Because altercations happen all the time in jail.
- 22:31Speaker 10: 100%.
- 22:31Speaker 1: You hope they don't, but when you come into prison
- 22:33Speaker 1: messing up the order of things, it's going to be consequences.
- 22:36Speaker 1: He just made the blockade, that's all. So he just
- 22:37Speaker 1: had to restore some order.
- 22:38Speaker 7: And he got taken to the hospital.
- 22:41Speaker 5: So that's the main reason why.
- 22:42Speaker 16: And now here's so the family member said that this
- 22:44Speaker 16: didn't happen at all. But as far as like people
- 22:47Speaker 16: caring about the stuff that he does. Yes, it's because
- 22:49Speaker 16: it's Diddy. But they're upset his family because his HIPAA
- 22:51Speaker 16: laws are violated. Like no one should even known that
- 22:54Speaker 16: he got taken to the hospital. And then also that
- 22:56Speaker 16: video with the phone that NBC News did that exclusive
- 22:58Speaker 16: report on. From what I'm being told, you know, I
- 23:01Speaker 16: told you guys that he was under this investigation. He
- 23:03Speaker 16: is currently sitting right now. and waiting for a disciplinary
- 23:06Speaker 16: hearing or officer from the disciplinary office to let him
- 23:09Speaker 16: know what's going to happen. They don't know if he's
- 23:11Speaker 16: going to get additional charges because of that or what.
- 23:13Speaker 16: So he's still waiting on that. They didn't catch him
- 23:15Speaker 16: with the phone, but the video itself sparked the investigation.
- 23:18Speaker 4: And then what about Mr.
- 23:19Speaker 14: Koch?
- 23:19Speaker 4: Is he in more trouble?
- 23:21Speaker 9: No.
- 23:21Speaker 16: So from what I'm told, there's not even an investigation
- 23:24Speaker 16: on this happening yet. But they're on two different sides
- 23:27Speaker 16: of the Fort Dix. I'm told that he is on
- 23:30Speaker 16: what they call like the east side. And Diddy's on
- 23:33Speaker 16: a whole different side. Like, they're not even like people.
- 23:35Speaker 16: They wouldn't even be interacting every single day.
- 23:37Speaker 4: So how did he get in the whole equation? I
- 23:40Speaker 4: don't know.
- 23:40Speaker 16: They don't know where this came from either. I mean,
- 23:42Speaker 16: but they want to clear it up.
- 23:45Speaker 1: All I heard was, how did he get in the hole?
- 23:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Come on, come on, come on, come on. Quicker, quicker, quicker. Okay.
- 23:52Speaker 1: By the way, if I was Diddy, I'd just be
- 23:54Speaker 1: trying to be as quiet as possible, do my bit,
- 23:56Speaker 1: and come home.
- 23:57Speaker 5: Well, that's what it seems like he's trying to do.
- 23:58Speaker 4: Both of them, though.
- 23:59Speaker 1: I can't tell.
- 24:00Speaker 6: That's what it is.
- 24:01Speaker 1: What part of it? All of it. All of it
- 24:02Speaker 1: just seemed too loud.
- 24:04Speaker 4: Too much.
- 24:05Speaker 5: It's jail.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Somebody's too loud. People say his HIPAA laws were violated.
- 24:09Speaker 1: One of his people put this story out.
- 24:11Speaker 8: Come on.
- 24:11Speaker 7: I'm sure one of the inmates probably said, did he
- 24:12Speaker 7: went to the jail and came back?
- 24:14Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I'm sure his people amplified his story.
- 24:17Speaker 4: To create a narrative.
- 24:18Speaker 16: Well, I mean, I don't know about the hospital part,
- 24:21Speaker 16: but the phone stuff and all that, they don't want
- 24:23Speaker 16: that amplified. He's trying to right now. he tried to
- 24:26Speaker 16: make sure that nothing.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Happens the violent part because if he can show that
- 24:31Speaker 1: he's getting attacked in prison or things aren't safe for
- 24:33Speaker 1: him in there then maybe they'll move his sentence up
- 24:35Speaker 1: a little bit I don't know right.
- 24:38Speaker 17: I don't know.
- 24:38Speaker 16: But, you know, this came from his side of things.
- 24:40Speaker 16: It came from a family member. So they wanted it
- 24:42Speaker 16: cleared up because they want it to stop circulating. Because
- 24:44Speaker 16: in real life, like you have, you know, Christopher Duda,
- 24:47Speaker 16: who was there trying to serve his time, just trying
- 24:49Speaker 16: to get out.
- 24:50Speaker 17: They don't need any other trouble.
- 24:52Speaker 5: That's the point.
- 24:53Speaker 16: That's the point is let's clear this up because they
- 24:55Speaker 16: don't need any other trouble. And it didn't happen, according
- 24:57Speaker 16: to a family member.
- 24:59Speaker 7: I wonder if they're investigating the person that took a
- 25:02Speaker 7: video of Diddy with the alleged phone, because that means.
- 25:05Speaker 5: Another inmate had a phone that had to take a
- 25:07Speaker 5: video of Diddy on the phone, right?
- 25:09Speaker 16: And Laz, you know there are CIs in prison. You
- 25:11Speaker 16: know there are people who cooperate with guards in prison,
- 25:14Speaker 16: you know, and that's how they get money put on
- 25:16Speaker 16: their books and everything like that.
- 25:17Speaker 4: Jess said CIs.
- 25:17Speaker 17: Where did you get that from, Jess?
- 25:19Speaker 4: Got it from power.
- 25:20Speaker 17: I know you did.
- 25:21Speaker 16: I know you did. They cooperate with the gods and,
- 25:26Speaker 16: you know, while they imprison.
- 25:28Speaker 5: Everything is not based around power. You know that, right?
- 25:29Speaker 5: Or Diddy.
- 25:30Speaker 4: It's very connected. Yeah, very connected.
- 25:32Speaker 9: Period.
- 25:33Speaker 10: Right.
- 25:33Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Everything is not based around Diddy. All right. That's what
- 25:37Speaker 4: you were saying, right, y'all?
- 25:38Speaker 1: Yes.
- 25:38Speaker 5: All right, yeah.

- 26:02Speaker 7: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
- 26:04Speaker 7: page news. Now, let's start off with sports. On Thursday
- 26:08Speaker 7: night football, the Seahawks take on the Broncos at 8-15
- 26:12Speaker 7: on Amazon Prime. Now, Major League Baseball, I don't know
- 26:14Speaker 7: if you guys have been watching, but it is the playoffs.
- 26:16Speaker 7: The Brewers beat the Dodgers. They lead that series 3-0.
- 26:19Speaker 7: And tonight, the Tampa Bay Rays take on the Cleveland
- 26:22Speaker 7: Guardians at 1.
- 26:23Speaker 5: All right.
- 26:24Speaker 1: What's up, Mimi?
- 26:25Speaker 12: Good morning, Envy, Charlemagne, Jess, how y'all doing?
- 26:27Speaker 1: Peace, Mimi Brown.
- 26:27Speaker 9: Hey, girl.
- 26:28Speaker 10: All right, so we start this hour in Charlotte, North Carolina, guys.
- 26:32Speaker 10: That's where six police officers have been suspended without pay
- 26:35Speaker 10: and could lose their jobs after investigators undercovered a group
- 26:39Speaker 10: text filled with racist messages about black people. So one
- 26:43Speaker 10: officer has already resigned. But here's how these messages came
- 26:46Speaker 10: to light. So state investigators, they were looking into an officer.
- 26:49Speaker 10: He's accused of misusing flock cameras. And those are the
- 26:52Speaker 10: cameras that track track license plates to help.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:56Speaker 10: When someone is convicted of something or they're doing an investigation.
- 27:00Speaker 10: But when investigators searched his phone, they found a group
- 27:03Speaker 10: text with several other officers from the Charlotte Mecklenburg police station. Now,
- 27:08Speaker 10: some of those officers reportedly in that group text, they
- 27:12Speaker 10: were competing to see who could pull.
- 27:14Speaker 12: Over the most black people.
- 27:16Speaker 10: The messages also reportedly included repeated use of the N-word
- 27:19Speaker 10: and racist comments about use of force and shooting black residents. Now,
- 27:24Speaker 10: one person familiar with the messages described the group chat
- 27:27Speaker 10: as sounding like a Klan rally. And now there are
- 27:31Speaker 10: questions about, you know, what that could mean. were people
- 27:33Speaker 10: arrested by these officers. Here's what one legal expert had
- 27:37Speaker 10: to say.
- 27:37Speaker 12: Let's listen.
- 27:38Speaker 18: We're still looking at the criminal aspect that could be
- 27:42Speaker 18: there as well. So what do we need to do
- 27:44Speaker 18: in terms of was it just, you know, your racist comments?
- 27:48Speaker 18: I think that's the first step. But also it was
- 27:50Speaker 18: reported in there that they were making comments about attempting
- 27:53Speaker 18: to see who could pull over the most black drivers.
- 27:56Speaker 18: That's going to be problematic when looking at this as well,
- 27:59Speaker 18: because now you're looking at opening up your door to
- 28:02Speaker 18: some 1983 type of claim. Have you violated their civil rights?
- 28:06Speaker 18: And so I think it opens the door for a
- 28:09Speaker 18: number of avenues. You really are just trying to pick
- 28:11Speaker 18: your own adventure at that moment.
- 28:14Speaker 1: The thing I hate about cases like this is, number one,
- 28:16Speaker 1: I don't know any of the officers' names. I have
- 28:18Speaker 1: the officers' names out there.
- 28:19Speaker 10: Not yet.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know any of the officers' names. And
- 28:21Speaker 1: these people can either get fired or resign and just
- 28:24Speaker 1: end up in other police forces somewhere in North Carolina.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Or in the country, yeah. This is big to do
- 28:30Speaker 1: about nothing. You know what I mean? People like this
- 28:32Speaker 1: should be put on blast, and they shouldn't be allowed
- 28:35Speaker 1: to work in law enforcement anymore.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Faces and names.
- 28:37Speaker 7: But my question is, is for the people that got
- 28:39Speaker 7: pulled over because they were black, right?
- 28:40Speaker 5: Can those cases be overturned? Can they be reopened?
- 28:43Speaker 10: So, yes, that's the thing that they're debating right now,
- 28:46Speaker 10: because all of those cases now essentially need to be
- 28:49Speaker 10: reviewed again, right? Because if an officer was targeting someone
- 28:52Speaker 10: because of their race, that raises questions about, you know,
- 28:56Speaker 10: their civil rights and what the nature of that pullover
- 28:58Speaker 10: was for in the first place. So some of those
- 29:01Speaker 10: cases could be thrown out. And so I think that's
- 29:03Speaker 10: where they are now, going back to kind of review that.
- 29:05Speaker 12: But I think first, First and foremost, they're still.
- 29:08Speaker 10: In the stages of kind of like seeing if these
- 29:11Speaker 10: officers are going to lose their job.
- 29:13Speaker 12: Right now, they're just suspended.
- 29:14Speaker 7: Like Charlemagne said, if you don't know the officers' names,
- 29:16Speaker 7: I can't even see if that's the guy that pulled
- 29:18Speaker 7: me over.
- 29:18Speaker 12: You don't know yet.
- 29:20Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:20Speaker 10: So the police department has not confirmed the details of
- 29:23Speaker 10: the messages, but they do say they will not tolerate
- 29:26Speaker 10: the behavior. And the damages to the community's trust. So
- 29:29Speaker 10: we will continue to follow that.
- 29:30Speaker 5: And maybe I didn't hear, but how did they get
- 29:32Speaker 5: the messages?
- 29:33Speaker 12: They were looking for the flock cameras. They were looking.
- 29:35Speaker 10: One officer was literally looking. He looked at the flock cameras.
- 29:38Speaker 10: And so the investigators started.
- 29:40Speaker 12: Going through his phone.
- 29:41Speaker 11: Oh.
- 29:41Speaker 10: And they found the group messages on his cell phone.
- 29:43Speaker 10: And that's how they were hip to all the stuff
- 29:46Speaker 10: that was happening inside that group text.
- 29:47Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 29:48Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 29:48Speaker 4: So crazy.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Insane.
- 29:50Speaker 17: Insane.
- 29:51Speaker 4: Okay.
- 29:52Speaker 12: And do you guys remember Dajon Love?
- 29:54Speaker 9: Right?
- 29:55Speaker 1: What the hell is your problem, boy? Dajon Love. I
- 29:59Speaker 1: know we're doing a whole goddamn show.
- 30:00Speaker 12: Y'all remember Dajon Love?
- 30:01Speaker 10: He was the NFL player accused of scamming dozens of women.
- 30:05Speaker 6: Yes.
- 30:06Speaker 4: Okay.
- 30:06Speaker 14: Said he played for the 49ers.
- 30:07Speaker 9: Yes.
- 30:08Speaker 12: For the 49ers.
- 30:09Speaker 9: Yes.
- 30:10Speaker 10: So he is now the subject of a new Netflix documentary.
- 30:13Speaker 12: It's going to be called.
- 30:14Speaker 10: Wow.
- 30:14Speaker 5: Netflix is going to do a documentary on everything.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Everything. Except The Breakfast Club.
- 30:18Speaker 7: Right.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Except their live daily show.
- 30:21Speaker 2: What? Yes.
- 30:23Speaker 10: Well, this one, you guys, is going to be called
- 30:25Speaker 10: Untold Wide Deceiver.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Okay?
- 30:28Speaker 12: It's about a wide deceiver.
- 30:31Speaker 5: Oh, I said a wide receiver, wide deceiver.
- 30:32Speaker 14: I get it.
- 30:33Speaker 5: Play on words.
- 30:33Speaker 17: All right.
- 30:34Speaker 10: So it's about him. He's the man that said he
- 30:37Speaker 10: played for the 49ers. He was a wide receiver. But
- 30:40Speaker 10: this time, it's going to be focused on the women
- 30:42Speaker 10: because as many as 60 women have reportedly come forward
- 30:45Speaker 10: saying they were scammed by him. We know he went
- 30:47Speaker 10: through great lengths to make his story believable. He wore
- 30:50Speaker 10: 49ers uniform. He posted himself catching footballs.
- 30:54Speaker 5: He did training sessions and all that.
- 30:56Speaker 12: Training sessions.
- 30:57Speaker 10: He had a fake birthday cake saying that the 49ers
- 31:00Speaker 10: sent it to him.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Those women not about to get no sympathy from nobody.
- 31:03Speaker 1: All they about to do is reinforce the stereotype that
- 31:06Speaker 1: women don't know nothing about sports.
- 31:07Speaker 4: You damn right. You got that.
- 31:10Speaker 1: 60 women that clearly have never watched an NFL game
- 31:12Speaker 1: in their life.
- 31:12Speaker 4: So crazy. And then why? Why would they be giving
- 31:16Speaker 4: him money in the first place if he was a 49er? Like,
- 31:18Speaker 4: I don't understand.
- 31:19Speaker 10: Listen, he said that he had some investments, and if
- 31:21Speaker 10: they wanted to get in on it, he would, you know,
- 31:23Speaker 10: change their life.
- 31:24Speaker 4: So is he participating in this documentary?
- 31:26Speaker 12: So that is the thing. I don't think he's participating
- 31:29Speaker 12: in the documentary.
- 31:30Speaker 10: I think it's going to be about his story and
- 31:32Speaker 10: the women and what he said to the women and
- 31:34Speaker 10: all of those things.
- 31:34Speaker 16: Because I'm like, that's crazy if he making money off this, too.
- 31:38Speaker 10: Yeah, no, I don't think he's participating. Because right now,
- 31:41Speaker 10: he's currently sitting in jail.
- 31:42Speaker 8: Right, right, right.
- 31:43Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 31:44Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 31:44Speaker 12: So he's also he was arrested in August.
- 31:48Speaker 10: He's facing federal fraud charges. He's being held until trial.
- 31:52Speaker 10: His his trial is slated to start December 15th. He's
- 31:55Speaker 10: pled not guilty. But if he's convicted, guys, he could
- 31:58Speaker 10: face 20 years in prison.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Are people going to care by the time this documentary
- 32:02Speaker 1: comes out? I think sometimes, you know, things are so
- 32:06Speaker 1: for the moment. And, you know, executives get excited. And
- 32:09Speaker 1: they go in there and they green light these things.
- 32:11Speaker 1: But then by the time this documentary comes out, are
- 32:13Speaker 1: people going to care?
- 32:13Speaker 5: I think people are going to care because it's so interesting.
- 32:15Speaker 5: I think people are going to.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Care about this one.
- 32:16Speaker 5: Is it really that interesting?
- 32:17Speaker 4: Yeah, it is interesting. Just like Reese Witherspoon.
- 32:19Speaker 16: Remember when Reese Witherspoon was like, I don't know who
- 32:21Speaker 16: I'm marrying.
- 32:21Speaker 4: And she had that 50-plus story on TikTok.
- 32:23Speaker 1: She got a book deal.
- 32:24Speaker 4: And then she wrote a book. The book is out.
- 32:26Speaker 4: We moved on from the story. You know what I mean?
- 32:28Speaker 16: They hopped on it because she did all that press.
- 32:30Speaker 16: But like, who's really buying the book now? It's like,
- 32:33Speaker 16: that was in the moment.
- 32:34Speaker 1: That's right.
- 32:34Speaker 4: You know, women get deceived every day by men that
- 32:36Speaker 4: they date.
- 32:36Speaker 7: I think it's a little different because he said he
- 32:38Speaker 7: played for 49ers and he did all the training sessions.
- 32:41Speaker 7: And a lot of dudes is out there like, yeah,
- 32:43Speaker 7: good for them. And then a lot of women like, yo,
- 32:45Speaker 7: that's effed up. So I think it brings a different story.
- 32:47Speaker 7: If I was a 49ers, I wouldn't want my name, likeness,
- 32:49Speaker 7: or nothing mentioned in the documentary. Say he pretended to
- 32:53Speaker 7: be part of a football team.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Exactly. Everything don't need a damn documentary, okay? Documentaries are
- 32:57Speaker 1: to educate and inform. Mm-hmm. to raise awareness and drive change,
- 33:01Speaker 1: to preserve history. I don't need to date on a
- 33:03Speaker 1: love story, okay? A 15-minute YouTube video on the situation
- 33:06Speaker 1: is enough. And that might be too long. I might
- 33:09Speaker 1: watch the first three or four and be like, man,
- 33:11Speaker 1: what the hell? First three or four minutes and just
- 33:12Speaker 1: turn it off.
- 33:13Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 33:14Speaker 12: Well, we don't have a release date yet. We just
- 33:16Speaker 12: know it's in the works.
- 33:17Speaker 10: So, you know, when that comes out, Wide Deceiver is
- 33:21Speaker 10: what it's going to be called again, guys.
- 33:22Speaker 12: All right, well, that is your front page news.
- 33:24Speaker 1: That's like a fat scam on us. Is he fat?
- 33:28Speaker 5: No.
- 33:29Speaker 4: He's not in shape, though.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Boy, y'all, if one of y'all fat people better not
- 33:34Speaker 1: be out here scamming folks. I'm going to call you
- 33:35Speaker 1: a wide deceiver. My goodness.
- 33:40Speaker 11: All right.

- 33:47Speaker 1: All right.
- 33:48Speaker 7: Now, when we come back, we have the president and
- 33:50Speaker 7: CEO of the International African American Museum.
- 33:52Speaker 5: In South Carolina.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Charleston, South Carolina, boy.
- 33:55Speaker 9: Dr.
- 33:55Speaker 7: Tonya Matthews. We're going to be talking to her next.
- 33:57Speaker 7: They're having homecoming this weekend. She's going to break that.
- 34:00Speaker 5: What's that? What it's all about.
- 34:01Speaker 6: What are you saying?
- 34:02Speaker 1: What the hell are you even saying right now? You
- 34:05Speaker 1: sound like you're having a scratch.
- 34:07Speaker 7: She's going to break down all the details of homecoming,
- 34:09Speaker 7: and she's going to break it all down when we
- 34:11Speaker 7: come back, all right?
- 34:13Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, good morning.
- 34:14Speaker 8: Good morning, everybody.
- 34:15Speaker 7: It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
- 34:18Speaker 7: The Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here as well. We
- 34:20Speaker 7: got a special guest in the building.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Yes, indeed. Dr.
- 34:23Speaker 5: Tonya M. Matthews. Welcome.
- 34:25Speaker 1: How are you feeling?
- 34:26Speaker 5: I am well today.
- 34:28Speaker 4: I am well.
- 34:29Speaker 5: You have your homecoming this weekend?
- 34:30Speaker 4: I have homecoming this weekend.
- 34:32Speaker 1: And introduce her, right? She's the president and CEO of
- 34:34Speaker 1: the International African American Museum in.
- 34:37Speaker 5: Charleston, South Carolina.
- 34:38Speaker 7: I'm talking about her homecoming this weekend.
- 34:41Speaker 5: I wanted to go, but this is my homecoming weekend. Listen,
- 34:44Speaker 5: I understand. It's the season. It is homecoming season. So
- 34:48Speaker 5: tell us what you do for the museum.
- 34:50Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 34:50Speaker 15: So I am the president and CEO of the museum.
- 34:54Speaker 15: I have the humbling privilege of leading an amazing team. So,
- 34:59Speaker 15: of course, you know, we steward the stories, all of
- 35:01Speaker 15: the stories, the real stories, the truth, the authentic stories.
- 35:05Speaker 15: You know, those stories they keep talking about. We shouldn't
- 35:06Speaker 15: be telling to the children. Yeah, those are stories we got.
- 35:09Speaker 15: So we talk about that at the museum. We are
- 35:12Speaker 15: located right at the site of the nation's largest transatlantic
- 35:17Speaker 15: slave trading port. But I want to know for folks
- 35:19Speaker 15: who are coming thinking it's going to be all sad
- 35:21Speaker 15: and heavy. We do this amazing thing, which is we
- 35:24Speaker 15: tell our stories, but we never forget the joy. OK,
- 35:27Speaker 15: we never forget the triumph. We never forget the victory.
- 35:29Speaker 15: We don't forget the struggle. There's no victory without struggle.
- 35:33Speaker 15: So it's all in there. But but we have all
- 35:36Speaker 15: the feels.
- 35:36Speaker 9: Right. And so.
- 35:37Speaker 5: That's why it makes sense for us to do our
- 35:39Speaker 5: own homecoming.
- 35:41Speaker 7: I was going to ask about attendance, right, with the museum.
- 35:44Speaker 7: And the reason I ask is, you know, I have
- 35:46Speaker 7: six kids. And I remember when I was a kid,
- 35:49Speaker 7: we would have to go to museums a certain amount
- 35:51Speaker 7: of times a year, right?
- 35:52Speaker 5: I don't know if it was a school trip or
- 35:54Speaker 5: whatever it was we had to. But I'm thinking about
- 35:56Speaker 5: it now, and my kids are not forced to go
- 35:58Speaker 5: with school trips anymore. Like, my son just went camping
- 36:01Speaker 5: and hiking. And I'm like, well, why? He didn't go
- 36:02Speaker 5: to a museum. So I was wondering, how is attendance
- 36:04Speaker 5: with museums? Are there more and more kids coming, or
- 36:06Speaker 5: is it less?
- 36:07Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 36:07Speaker 15: Yeah, so we are a little bit of an outlier.
- 36:10Speaker 15: I think because we're still a newbie on the block,
- 36:12Speaker 15: we got that new car spell. So we've had more
- 36:15Speaker 15: than half a million visitors come to the museum. So
- 36:18Speaker 15: really excited about that. But your point about school kids
- 36:21Speaker 15: and school groups going to museums is a real thing, right?
- 36:24Speaker 15: You know, even with, like you were saying, when I
- 36:26Speaker 15: was growing up, it was considered part of education, right?
- 36:29Speaker 15: It's part of the curriculum. You go there, you read
- 36:31Speaker 15: it in the book, then you see it in real life.
- 36:32Speaker 15: And now it sometimes skews to reward for good behavior, right?
- 36:36Speaker 15: We're going to have a fun kind of thing, which
- 36:39Speaker 15: is just as good because we want kids to think
- 36:41Speaker 15: of museums as being fun places. But when you take
- 36:44Speaker 15: us out of that necessity conversation, we need to be
- 36:48Speaker 15: part of the education. So one of the things we
- 36:51Speaker 15: have at the museum is there is a portion of
- 36:54Speaker 15: our funding that is dedicated to underwriting.
- 36:57Speaker 7: The cost of field trips.
- 36:58Speaker 15: So this may also be a reason why we do
- 37:01Speaker 15: have a really strong school group. population that comes in
- 37:05Speaker 15: because we can at least support the cost of admission.
- 37:08Speaker 15: Every once in a while, we got a little bus
- 37:09Speaker 15: money too.
- 37:10Speaker 1: So I think.
- 37:11Speaker 15: Knocking down the cost, just emphasizing we want to be
- 37:14Speaker 15: a part of everything you all are doing. And of course,
- 37:17Speaker 15: you know, for teachers, my mother's an educator, the museum
- 37:20Speaker 15: is tagged for the teachers. So if this is what
- 37:22Speaker 15: your kids are studying right now, this is the section
- 37:24Speaker 15: you go to. If this is what they study in
- 37:25Speaker 15: next year, this is the section you go to. But
- 37:28Speaker 15: I think it's important. We need the kids to go outside. Folks,
- 37:32Speaker 15: they need to go outside in that part too. But also,
- 37:35Speaker 15: you know, museums, because sometimes not everybody's.
- 37:38Speaker 5: A classroom kid.
- 37:40Speaker 15: I was a classroom kid, but sometimes you need kids
- 37:42Speaker 15: that need to roam, right?
- 37:44Speaker 7: They want to see videos. They want to see pictures.
- 37:46Speaker 15: They want to see people that look like them on
- 37:48Speaker 15: the walls. And so I think that's a space that
- 37:51Speaker 15: museums will always have.
- 37:53Speaker 16: Do you guys have a policy against having phones?
- 37:56Speaker 4: You know what?
- 37:57Speaker 15: We don't have a policy against having phones. But I
- 38:01Speaker 15: would say that as far as I can tell, the
- 38:03Speaker 15: museum remains undefeated. Because sometimes I go down and I
- 38:06Speaker 15: watch and I see what the kids are doing and
- 38:09Speaker 15: they're not on their phones. Now, I don't know if
- 38:11Speaker 15: the teachers have set up a policy and sort of
- 38:13Speaker 15: those kinds of things.
- 38:15Speaker 7: But, you know, we are still only about three and
- 38:18Speaker 7: a half years old.
- 38:19Speaker 15: And so we do have a lot of technology built
- 38:21Speaker 15: into the museum, including like touch tables and videos.
- 38:25Speaker 5: So that may also be why.
- 38:27Speaker 15: But the other thing is, if you if you give
- 38:30Speaker 15: a child a challenge, like, listen, you need to figure
- 38:32Speaker 15: out these five things in the next 45 minutes.
- 38:35Speaker 5: They actually like that.
- 38:36Speaker 15: They sort of gamify their own experience a little bit.
- 38:39Speaker 9: So, yeah.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Well, what is homecoming weekend for those who may not know?
- 38:43Speaker 7: What is international American weekend homecoming weekend?
- 38:44Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes. Which is happening this weekend.
- 38:46Speaker 15: Which is happening this weekend. So first, let's back it
- 38:48Speaker 15: on up. We know this is homecoming season, right? Some
- 38:50Speaker 15: of y'all got your plane tickets, your tickets, you're trying
- 38:52Speaker 15: to VVIP the universities you ain't even go to.
- 38:55Speaker 5: Okay, right? But there's something behind that, right? It is
- 38:59Speaker 5: cultural and historical, right?
- 39:00Speaker 15: So you got your HBCUs coming up 1830s, right?
- 39:04Speaker 8: 1830s.
- 39:04Speaker 15: And we started out imitating. You know, we built the
- 39:07Speaker 15: structures we were taught to build.
- 39:08Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:09Speaker 5: But then you come into the space where it's the
- 39:12Speaker 5: safe space.
- 39:12Speaker 7: It is the place.
- 39:14Speaker 5: It's the center of community. The alumni are coming back.
- 39:17Speaker 7: No, no, no.
- 39:17Speaker 5: The grandbabies are coming back home.
- 39:19Speaker 9: Right.
- 39:20Speaker 15: To show grandma what they got, what the degrees are going.
- 39:22Speaker 15: You bring in folks. So it became a real community thing.
- 39:25Speaker 15: And then after that, well, we did what we do.
- 39:27Speaker 5: We got extra.
- 39:28Speaker 10: Right.
- 39:29Speaker 1: We we.
- 39:30Speaker 15: We eliminated the military-style precision of our marching bands and
- 39:35Speaker 15: just started cutting up, like the way that we do.
- 39:37Speaker 15: But all of that is cultural, right? So there's a
- 39:39Speaker 15: reason that, honestly, Mardi Gras, Carnival, and Homecoming, halftime.
- 39:43Speaker 7: Shows at HBCUs, look a lot alike, right?
- 39:46Speaker 9: So that's us.
- 39:47Speaker 15: So down in the Lowcountry... In South Carolina, you know,
- 39:51Speaker 15: we could play that role. Like we could have our
- 39:53Speaker 15: own kind of homecoming. Big shout out to all of
- 39:56Speaker 15: my sister institutions in South Carolina. We did avoid our
- 40:01Speaker 15: HBCU homecomings.
- 40:02Speaker 7: We do understand.
- 40:03Speaker 15: We're joining in the tradition. So we've got homecoming on
- 40:07Speaker 15: the yard. on, uh, on Saturday. So we don't have
- 40:10Speaker 15: a football field, but we got a yard.
- 40:11Speaker 5: We going outside.
- 40:13Speaker 15: We got the vendors, the food trucks, all that set
- 40:15Speaker 15: up some performers.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Um, that's free, right?
- 40:18Speaker 7: That is, that's free.
- 40:20Speaker 15: Um, the big shout out to, um, a Royal missionary
- 40:24Speaker 15: Baptist church who was helping us, uh, have sponsored free admission. Uh,
- 40:28Speaker 15: big shout out to one of our honorary grand marshals, uh,
- 40:32Speaker 15: brother Charlemagne, the.
- 40:33Speaker 5: Guy, of course, uh, South Carolina's own. So we've got
- 40:37Speaker 5: that going.
- 40:38Speaker 15: But for folks who like really deep dive into homecoming,
- 40:41Speaker 15: you know, it's more than just the game, right?
- 40:43Speaker 5: And more than just the party party part.
- 40:44Speaker 16: I was reading some of the background info on what
- 40:47Speaker 16: you're doing. And I mean, of course, you know, there's
- 40:48Speaker 16: history at HBCUs, but understanding why a museum would take
- 40:51Speaker 16: part made sense when I think about the history.
- 40:54Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 40:54Speaker 5: So there's there's a lot of history in it.
- 40:56Speaker 15: And it's about remember, there were times and actually it's
- 40:59Speaker 15: happening right now where there are spaces where we don't
- 41:01Speaker 15: feel safe.
- 41:01Speaker 9: Right.
- 41:02Speaker 7: This is how we take up space.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Right.
- 41:04Speaker 15: We create places where we can just be. Some folks
- 41:08Speaker 15: will call it the third space.
- 41:09Speaker 13: Right.
- 41:10Speaker 15: You know, spaces where you can hang out and just be.
- 41:12Speaker 15: And the museum has always been a part of that.
- 41:15Speaker 15: But it was very cool to be able to do it,
- 41:17Speaker 15: you know, amped up style, to be able to celebrate
- 41:20Speaker 15: it and welcoming people home. And again, just like we
- 41:23Speaker 15: do for a regular homecoming.
- 41:25Speaker 5: You don't have to be from South Carolina.
- 41:27Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 41:28Speaker 5: You don't have to be a member of the museum, though.
- 41:30Speaker 15: If you come on campus and you're not yet a
- 41:32Speaker 15: member of a museum, I'm going to give you a
- 41:33Speaker 15: QR code.
- 41:34Speaker 4: It's all good.
- 41:36Speaker 7: But all of that.
- 41:36Speaker 5: So we just want to welcome the community, you know,
- 41:39Speaker 5: and those who love us.
- 41:39Speaker 1: But, you know, if you shake your family tree, some
- 41:42Speaker 1: South Carolina will fall out.
- 41:43Speaker 5: One hundred percent.
- 41:44Speaker 1: The museum is on Gadsden's Wolf. What's the number? What's
- 41:47Speaker 1: the percentage?
- 41:48Speaker 7: Oh, it's upwards of 40 percent.
- 41:49Speaker 15: So historians estimate upwards of 40 percent of all enslaved
- 41:53Speaker 15: people would have come through that spot.
- 41:55Speaker 5: And, you know, it's, you know, as Charlotte said, so
- 41:57Speaker 5: I'm from D.C., I'm from the D.C.
- 41:59Speaker 7: Area.
- 42:00Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 42:01Speaker 7: I spent like eight years in Baltimore.
- 42:03Speaker 5: I see you.
- 42:03Speaker 4: I see you.
- 42:05Speaker 5: And so then I get to South Carolina.
- 42:06Speaker 7: I'm like, what is this?
- 42:09Speaker 16: My friends, my relatives, everybody popping up. Oh, this part,
- 42:13Speaker 16: like this part, King's Tree, Columbia.
- 42:15Speaker 4: What is happening?
- 42:17Speaker 15: So, yeah, if you shake the tree, far enough, somebody
- 42:21Speaker 15: going to drop out. Even if your people are also
- 42:25Speaker 15: attached to the islands, Envy. They gonna be some South Carolina.
- 42:28Speaker 5: No, my mother got family from South Carolina. My dad
- 42:30Speaker 5: got family from Dominica.
- 42:31Speaker 1: That's funny.
- 42:31Speaker 4: I'm not Dominican.
- 42:32Speaker 5: I'm not Dominican. I'm from Dominica, which is a Caribbean island.
- 42:36Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 42:37Speaker 8: Right.
- 42:38Speaker 5: So, you know, we are the source.
- 42:40Speaker 15: You got that that pilgrimage, that homecoming. But it also
- 42:42Speaker 15: reminds us of these are the places that we need
- 42:45Speaker 15: to take care of, regardless of your very, very personal,
- 42:49Speaker 15: half personal degrees of separation, personal connection to these spaces.
- 42:54Speaker 15: So when they talk about taking us out of the books,
- 42:56Speaker 15: moving us out of our homes, out of our neighborhoods.
- 42:59Speaker 15: This is why HBCUs were created so we would have
- 43:02Speaker 15: our own space for education and excellence. This is why
- 43:05Speaker 15: Black museums were created. So you need to support all
- 43:10Speaker 15: of your cultural institutions that are holding space.
- 43:14Speaker 1: I want to talk to you because you mentioned something. Yeah.
- 43:16Speaker 1: Why do you think teaching the truth about American history
- 43:19Speaker 1: has become so controversial?
- 43:21Speaker 5: I really wish I could say I don't know.
- 43:24Speaker 15: So, you know, I think that there is an effort
- 43:29Speaker 15: to control the narrative, right? And then you think about,
- 43:32Speaker 15: you know, that saying, you know, to the victor goes
- 43:36Speaker 15: the spoils, right? You know, the winner gets to write
- 43:38Speaker 15: the story of, I think, the war. And so I
- 43:42Speaker 15: think that there is a false notion that understanding the
- 43:46Speaker 15: truth and the complexity and frankly, the trauma of the
- 43:50Speaker 15: building of this country will make us weaker as opposed
- 43:54Speaker 15: to Learning those stories has always made you stronger.
- 43:57Speaker 9: Right.
- 43:57Speaker 15: Understanding what you got over and how you got over
- 44:00Speaker 15: has always made folks stronger, I think, in that space.
- 44:04Speaker 15: And so, you know, I think it also is a
- 44:06Speaker 15: way of of disempowering folks.
- 44:09Speaker 7: So you lose confidence.
- 44:11Speaker 15: So you think, well, you know, there's no way we
- 44:13Speaker 15: can get over this. We can't fight this. We can't
- 44:15Speaker 15: beat this.
- 44:16Speaker 7: If you read your.
- 44:16Speaker 5: History books, you'll be like, no, no, not our first rodeo.
- 44:20Speaker 5: We do know how to do this.
- 44:23Speaker 7: And I do.
- 44:23Speaker 15: Believe that if you don't learn from your mistakes, you
- 44:26Speaker 15: will repeat them until you get it right. I think
- 44:30Speaker 15: it's cultural. I think it's biblical. I think it's spiritual.
- 44:33Speaker 15: I think it's all of the things. And so I
- 44:36Speaker 15: think one of the things that I am most anxious
- 44:38Speaker 15: about right now is I can see.
- 44:40Speaker 5: Us repeating some things, right?
- 44:42Speaker 7: Like, didn't we learn this?
- 44:43Speaker 15: When folks say things like, I thought we had gotten
- 44:46Speaker 15: past that, that's actually what they're saying. Didn't we learn that?
- 44:49Speaker 15: Didn't we understand that? Can't we recognize that, I think,
- 44:54Speaker 15: when that is coming? And so I think as we
- 44:57Speaker 15: do indeed move toward a more, I'm going to say
- 45:00Speaker 15: the E word, toward a more equitable society, It is
- 45:05Speaker 15: a challenge if folks understand their power and what they're
- 45:10Speaker 15: able to do, what their ancestors did and sort of
- 45:12Speaker 15: that kind of thing. And so there's a reason to
- 45:16Speaker 15: hide the story if you don't want folks to understand
- 45:20Speaker 15: that the power is within, that the power is community.
- 45:24Speaker 15: And like I said, you know, we tell the whole
- 45:26Speaker 15: story at the museum and folks don't really leave out
- 45:31Speaker 15: the museum trying to burn stuff down.
- 45:33Speaker 1: I love when you always say that. You always say
- 45:36Speaker 1: it's not a slave museum. You say this is a survival.
- 45:39Speaker 12: It is so it is so not.
- 45:41Speaker 5: But, you know, that was actually part of the debate
- 45:42Speaker 5: in our origins.
- 45:43Speaker 2: Right.
- 45:44Speaker 15: Some folks are thinking we need to tell this story.
- 45:46Speaker 15: and we need to tell a story of slavery and enslavement.
- 45:49Speaker 15: Black folks came to the table, they were like, yes and.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Right, yes and.
- 45:53Speaker 15: So our philosophy around that is that the story of
- 45:56Speaker 15: slavery and enslavement is neither the beginning nor the end
- 45:59Speaker 15: of the African-American journey. It's in the middle, right?
- 46:01Speaker 4: It's in the middle.
- 46:02Speaker 15: So you have to understand that part of the story
- 46:05Speaker 15: to understand where we are today. But you also have
- 46:07Speaker 15: to understand there was a story before that story, like way,
- 46:10Speaker 15: America is such a young country, right?
- 46:12Speaker 5: We are very, very young. One of the youngest civilizations
- 46:15Speaker 5: out there.
- 46:16Speaker 15: That includes the civilizations, not villages, not tribes, the civilizations
- 46:23Speaker 15: that were on the continent.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Of Africa, right?
- 46:26Speaker 15: That are therefore part of the building of the society.
- 46:29Speaker 15: And so, you know, we do all the things. You
- 46:32Speaker 15: get all the feels. You get all the feels. It's
- 46:34Speaker 15: like when your grandmother says, I'm about to tell you
- 46:36Speaker 15: a story. you better buckle up and grab a biscuit, okay?
- 46:40Speaker 5: Listen, you are not.
- 46:41Speaker 15: Leaving until the story is done.
- 46:44Speaker 7: But you don't leave feeling, you know, sad and depressed.
- 46:48Speaker 5: You leave feeling impressed. Wow, remember you went through, you
- 46:51Speaker 5: did all that?
- 46:52Speaker 15: And that's the sensation that we want people to take
- 46:55Speaker 15: away from the museum.
- 46:56Speaker 5: And they do.
- 46:57Speaker 15: And I think that's the sensation people would take away
- 47:00Speaker 15: from the full story of American history if we were
- 47:02Speaker 15: brave enough to tell it.
- 47:04Speaker 7: How do you decide what you will tell and what
- 47:06Speaker 7: you won't tell? And the reason I ask, there's so
- 47:08Speaker 7: much black history, so much African-American history.
- 47:09Speaker 1: There's so much black history.
- 47:22Speaker 5: But there is so much black history.
- 47:23Speaker 7: There is so much.
- 47:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 47:24Speaker 7: So what do you decide what you display and what
- 47:26Speaker 7: you don't and how far back you go and when
- 47:28Speaker 7: do you stop?
- 47:28Speaker 9: Right.
- 47:29Speaker 5: Because, you know, you can go as far.
- 47:30Speaker 7: As musicians and musicians in the industry. You can go for,
- 47:34Speaker 7: you know, athletes, but you can also go through the slavery.
- 47:37Speaker 7: So what do you decide that you're going to show
- 47:39Speaker 7: and not?
- 47:40Speaker 15: Yeah, that's a really good question because, you know, anyone
- 47:43Speaker 15: in a museum world will tell you we catch smoke
- 47:44Speaker 15: on that all the time, right? Because everybody has their
- 47:46Speaker 15: favorite story. And if your favorite story doesn't happen to
- 47:49Speaker 15: be in a museum, I'm going.
- 47:51Speaker 4: To hear about it.
- 47:52Speaker 15: But what I have learned that that means, though, is
- 47:55Speaker 15: that people only give their story to people they think
- 47:57Speaker 15: will tell it well. So when I catch smoke about
- 48:00Speaker 15: not including a story, I understand that someone is saying,
- 48:03Speaker 15: I like what y'all are doing over here. And I
- 48:05Speaker 15: think that you should be including my stuff because I
- 48:07Speaker 15: can see that and appreciate that, right? So I've learned
- 48:09Speaker 15: to internally at least flip that into a compliment. But
- 48:13Speaker 15: part of what we do on this side is we
- 48:16Speaker 15: think about, are there any stories that are currently not
- 48:18Speaker 15: being told?
- 48:19Speaker 4: Right.
- 48:19Speaker 10: Right.
- 48:20Speaker 5: So that we can be another part of the story.
- 48:23Speaker 12: Right.
- 48:23Speaker 15: Because we're not the only African-American history museum in the country.
- 48:27Speaker 15: The other part we think about, is there any particular
- 48:29Speaker 15: story we can tell better than someone else?
- 48:33Speaker 5: Because of what?
- 48:34Speaker 15: Because of where we are, because of who we're connected to,
- 48:37Speaker 15: sort of those kinds of things, right? So one of
- 48:39Speaker 15: the questions I would get all the time when we
- 48:41Speaker 15: were building the museum is.
- 48:44Speaker 16: Well, how do you compare to such and such museum
- 48:47Speaker 16: or such and such museum, which was.
- 48:49Speaker 5: Code for why do we need more than one black museum?
- 48:52Speaker 7: That's really what that was code for.
- 48:54Speaker 9: Right.
- 48:54Speaker 15: And so but after coming into the museum, people will
- 48:58Speaker 15: come into our museum, any museum and naturally compare, not
- 49:02Speaker 15: compare to say which is better, but oh, this feels
- 49:05Speaker 15: so much different. I went to the Smithsonian. I went
- 49:08Speaker 15: to the African American history museum in Detroit. We have
- 49:11Speaker 15: a museum in my community. Y'all are so different, which
- 49:14Speaker 15: is good, which goes exactly to your point. There is
- 49:17Speaker 15: way too much, uh, African-American history, way too much history
- 49:21Speaker 15: of any culture, frankly, to fit in a single building.
- 49:25Speaker 15: No matter how good you are, no matter how big
- 49:27Speaker 15: your digital platform is, we don't get it all in.
- 49:29Speaker 5: So we're not competitive.
- 49:32Speaker 15: We are cooperative and sort of building like this entire
- 49:35Speaker 15: full story. And the goal is once you fall in
- 49:38Speaker 15: love with one museum, now every time you go somewhere,
- 49:40Speaker 15: you're like, what the museum scene is around here, right? Like,
- 49:44Speaker 15: you know, when you read a really good book by
- 49:46Speaker 15: that one author, you're like, well, what else they wrote?
- 49:48Speaker 15: So that's actually what we're trying to do as a
- 49:50Speaker 15: sector and as a community.
- 49:52Speaker 17: How hard has.
- 49:52Speaker 16: That become, though, with all of the money and the
- 49:55Speaker 16: funding that is being removed from making sure y'all.
- 49:57Speaker 17: Have these museum scenes?
- 49:59Speaker 16: Like, I know y'all are currently going through something.
- 50:02Speaker 9: Yes.
- 50:02Speaker 15: So this is when I throw up the white cap. Now, listen,
- 50:05Speaker 15: y'all remember when I brother threw up that white cap, right?
- 50:07Speaker 7: And folk came running, cap thrown, okay?
- 50:11Speaker 15: Listen, all your brothers and sisters working at museums, we
- 50:14Speaker 15: are throwing up the cap.
- 50:15Speaker 7: Where y'all at? Because it is very, very real.
- 50:18Speaker 5: And I think one of the things that folks need
- 50:20Speaker 5: to understand is.
- 50:22Speaker 15: That when an organization, and I'm going to stick with museums,
- 50:24Speaker 15: chooses to be nonprofit, we choose to go the nonprofit
- 50:27Speaker 15: business route for a reason, which is that we do
- 50:30Speaker 15: not ever want cost to be a barrier to coming in.
- 50:33Speaker 15: If museums, I am included, charge what it really cost
- 50:36Speaker 15: us to operate, we'd be paying Disney prices. You'd be
- 50:39Speaker 15: paying Disney prices to come up in here, right? Now,
- 50:43Speaker 15: you know, for my history wonks, maybe, but that's not
- 50:46Speaker 15: what we're going for, right?
- 50:47Speaker 16: We want folks with six kids to be able to
- 50:50Speaker 16: come in. you know, so to the museum.
- 50:53Speaker 15: And so we work on a combination of, yes, those
- 50:55Speaker 15: ticket prices, but you come in, you see, you want
- 50:58Speaker 15: to support. That's where the donations come in, right? That
- 51:01Speaker 15: is where philanthropy comes in. And Black folks don't use
- 51:03Speaker 15: the big word philanthropy all the time, but we are
- 51:05Speaker 15: natural philanthropists. We've been doing it ever since we've got here.
- 51:08Speaker 15: If you've ever pitched in for a rent party, gave
- 51:11Speaker 15: somebody a little $ 10, $ 15 as they was going to college,
- 51:15Speaker 15: you know, help somebody out with a book, bought a
- 51:17Speaker 15: dinner because folks look hungry, any of that stuff.
- 51:20Speaker 5: It's actually all philanthropy, right? So that's the space that
- 51:23Speaker 5: we're in.
- 51:24Speaker 15: And it is critical right now because, yeah, the big,
- 51:28Speaker 15: quote unquote, big funders, the ones that require the press releases,
- 51:31Speaker 15: you know, they are pulling back. Some because they were
- 51:34Speaker 15: always uncomfortable in the space. Some because they're scared to
- 51:37Speaker 15: be in the.
- 51:38Speaker 5: Space right now. Some because they've been told not. get
- 51:41Speaker 5: out of that space.
- 51:42Speaker 1: So, I mean, the Trump administration did the cut and
- 51:45Speaker 1: dismantled federal funding for libraries and museums. They did it
- 51:48Speaker 1: straight out. He signed an executive order.
- 51:49Speaker 5: They did.
- 51:50Speaker 11: Right.
- 51:50Speaker 15: And so, so that's in that space. And I'm of
- 51:52Speaker 15: two minds, which is one, um, I am, we are,
- 51:56Speaker 15: you are taxpaying citizens. And because of that, you know,
- 51:59Speaker 15: I think my taxes should be able to fund some
- 52:01Speaker 15: of the things that I like and maybe some of
- 52:03Speaker 15: the things that I don't like because my neighbor likes
- 52:05Speaker 15: something I don't like.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Fine.
- 52:06Speaker 15: So at the end of the day, the museum community
- 52:09Speaker 15: and sector, we are still in the fight.
- 52:10Speaker 9: Right.
- 52:11Speaker 16: We're still going for what is ours.
- 52:14Speaker 15: This whole thing of reclaiming. But in the meantime, cap up,
- 52:19Speaker 15: brothers and sisters. Which means that we also have always
- 52:23Speaker 15: had the power to support these institutions ourselves. And what
- 52:27Speaker 15: I ultimately want is the combination of both of those things.
- 52:30Speaker 8: Right.
- 52:30Speaker 15: I want the big resources. I want the grandmama pocketbook resources.
- 52:33Speaker 15: I need all of that. But right now, clearly, we're
- 52:37Speaker 15: leaning into the people. And, you know, I'm always appreciative.
- 52:41Speaker 15: Folks will come up and say, listen, I gave you
- 52:43Speaker 15: a little something. It wasn't much, but it was what
- 52:45Speaker 15: I could do. Just stop right there. I gave you
- 52:48Speaker 15: a little something.
- 52:49Speaker 4: Period.
- 52:49Speaker 9: Period.
- 52:50Speaker 5: You have no idea what it means.
- 52:53Speaker 16: First of all, the spiritual boost alone is actually enough.
- 52:58Speaker 16: And that's what we've actually seen with a lot of
- 53:01Speaker 16: the donations that are coming in right now. Folks are
- 53:04Speaker 16: also sending in words of encouragement. So one, never second.
- 53:08Speaker 5: Guess your gift. It really, really does matter.
- 53:12Speaker 15: And then tell people about your gift, because that matters, too.
- 53:15Speaker 1: Right.
- 53:15Speaker 5: You know, I'm here. I'm literally on message. This is
- 53:18Speaker 5: what I do.
- 53:19Speaker 9: Right.
- 53:19Speaker 5: Obviously, I believe.
- 53:20Speaker 15: But sometimes it's even more important if someone who's not
- 53:24Speaker 15: directly connected with the museum in this way tells someone else,
- 53:28Speaker 15: this is what I did. You should join me because
- 53:30Speaker 15: they are not obligated actually to be to be in
- 53:33Speaker 15: that space.
- 53:33Speaker 1: When people want to donate, where do they go?
- 53:35Speaker 15: They go to the website, www.iaamuseum.org, and there are all
- 53:42Speaker 15: kinds of ways to donate. And for y'all ballers out there,
- 53:44Speaker 15: we also take stock and checks with lots of zeros.
- 53:50Speaker 15: Just want to let you know. And then, of course,
- 53:54Speaker 15: for the folks who like to have their receipts in
- 53:57Speaker 15: real time, you can always mail to us as well.
- 53:59Speaker 7: And our address is on the website as well.
- 54:01Speaker 1: And my last question.
- 54:02Speaker 7: Yes.
- 54:03Speaker 1: It's called homecoming.
- 54:04Speaker 5: It's called homecoming.
- 54:05Speaker 1: What does coming home mean for people whose ancestors were
- 54:09Speaker 1: forcibly brought to this country?
- 54:11Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 54:11Speaker 15: So, you know, home is space and home is place.
- 54:16Speaker 15: Home is the place that welcomes you in all of yourself.
- 54:22Speaker 15: Home is that place. Home is the place that feeds you.
- 54:25Speaker 15: sometimes physically, sometimes spiritually. And some folks, I think, who
- 54:30Speaker 15: are listening, know what it's like to have to create
- 54:33Speaker 15: a home, right, somewhere else, or know what it's like
- 54:36Speaker 15: to be pulled into a home. And that's what we
- 54:39Speaker 15: try to do at the museum. There are some folks
- 54:41Speaker 15: definitely connected to South Carolina. Come on down to the
- 54:43Speaker 15: genealogy center.
- 54:44Speaker 7: We will help you prove it.
- 54:46Speaker 15: There are some folks who will feel the ancestors, you know,
- 54:49Speaker 15: when they come into that space.
- 54:51Speaker 5: And there are some folks who are wandering.
- 54:52Speaker 15: I'm looking for a space that looks like me, wants
- 54:55Speaker 15: me there and welcomes me into that space. That is homecoming.
- 54:58Speaker 15: That is why we're bringing those images out to share
- 55:02Speaker 15: their full stories because they did live. But that is
- 55:04Speaker 15: also why I get to come to places like this
- 55:06Speaker 15: and talk to the nation about. This is the place
- 55:09Speaker 15: that you can call home.
- 55:10Speaker 7: Come visit.
- 55:11Speaker 5: Come see.
- 55:11Speaker 15: Come feel welcomed. We might even give you a biscuit.
- 55:15Speaker 15: But then after that, also, then think about supporting us
- 55:18Speaker 15: and go back home and support the organization that looks
- 55:21Speaker 15: a bit like us in your own hometown.
- 55:23Speaker 1: That's right.
- 55:24Speaker 8: Dr.
- 55:25Speaker 1: Tanya Matthews.
- 55:25Speaker 5: That's right. Thank you so much for joining us.
- 55:27Speaker 1: We'll see you all at Homecoming this weekend. That's right.
- 55:29Speaker 8: Dr.
- 55:29Speaker 5: Tanya Matthews.
- 55:30Speaker 17: I just love the word Homecoming.
- 55:33Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 55:33Speaker 5: Which Homecoming are you going to this weekend?
- 55:36Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 55:37Speaker 17: Probably the music.
- 55:39Speaker 5: What?
- 55:39Speaker 1: Why are you lying?
- 55:40Speaker 16: Because we're here to support our homecoming.
- 55:45Speaker 4: It is another one.
- 55:46Speaker 16: I said I love homecoming.
- 55:50Speaker 4: All right.
- 55:50Speaker 5: It's the breakfast program. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
- 55:54Speaker 4: Talk to me.
- 56:18Speaker 17: So, Young Miami, y'all know she is out making the
- 56:20Speaker 17: rounds right now.
- 56:21Speaker 16: She is promoting her album, Watch This, which will be
- 56:24Speaker 16: dropping next Friday, October 23rd. But while she's out here
- 56:28Speaker 16: on this promotion tour, she is confronting any and everybody
- 56:31Speaker 16: that has something to say. Starting with L'Oreal at the
- 56:36Speaker 16: Morning Hustle show.
- 56:36Speaker 4: So, L'Oreal.
- 56:37Speaker 1: Dropping the clues box for L'Oreal, man.
- 56:39Speaker 11: L'Oreal.
- 56:39Speaker 1: That fam right there. All fam, no flam right there.
- 56:42Speaker 4: What's up, L'Oreal?
- 56:43Speaker 9: What's up?
- 56:44Speaker 16: So l'oreal uh kyle and alton um that's the crew
- 56:47Speaker 16: that she's with they were doing a young miami's interview
- 56:50Speaker 16: and young miami wanted to have a conversation about some
- 56:52Speaker 16: comments that she heard l'oreal make let's take a listen
- 56:54Speaker 16: to carisha uh confronting l'oreal you got a real familiar
- 56:58Speaker 16: voice so i heard you talking about me one time
- 57:00Speaker 16: i was just like damn every time i go to
- 57:01Speaker 16: this one radio station whenever my name come up you
- 57:03Speaker 16: just always got something negative to say i'm like why
- 57:06Speaker 16: is this woman on on radio like just always constantly
- 57:09Speaker 16: got something to say every time it's something about me,
- 57:12Speaker 16: which I feel like is weird. So, it's like, you
- 57:15Speaker 16: are one of the ones that would have to, like,
- 57:16Speaker 16: watch this. I don't feel like every time, maybe you
- 57:18Speaker 16: might have caught comments, but I even sat down and
- 57:20Speaker 16: spoke with Tushar about your record and why people are
- 57:24Speaker 16: coming at you as a female.
- 57:25Speaker 17: Why you was coming at me as a female?
- 57:27Speaker 16: I don't feel like I came at you, but if
- 57:29Speaker 16: I did and you feel like any kind of way,
- 57:31Speaker 16: I want to have more of a positive.
- 57:32Speaker 4: Because I was going to put up on a radio station. Okay.
- 57:34Speaker 16: And what was the thing that I said that bothered you?
- 57:37Speaker 4: I don't really recall.
- 57:38Speaker 16: It was like multiple things. It was like multiple occasions.
- 57:40Speaker 16: I just remember your voice. Because I was like, I'm
- 57:42Speaker 16: going to call up that one day.
- 57:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 57:43Speaker 4: But I'm here now.
- 57:44Speaker 16: Well, I'm glad that you're here. Because we got good
- 57:46Speaker 16: questions to ask you. Because I am biased on each way.
- 57:50Speaker 16: I am a fan in one way. And at the
- 57:52Speaker 16: same time, I'm going to give the opinion and bring
- 57:54Speaker 16: up what other people say as well. That's just my job.
- 57:57Speaker 16: But I don't have anything personal against you.
- 57:59Speaker 4: It's not personal.
- 58:00Speaker 16: There's nothing personal. And I do listen to Spend That.
- 58:04Speaker 16: I've seen you perform numerous times. I actually said you
- 58:06Speaker 16: was grinding this year. Thank you for giving us or
- 58:09Speaker 16: me the opportunity, despite whatever you might have heard.
- 58:13Speaker 1: All I hear is great radio.
- 58:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that.
- 58:15Speaker 1: All I hear is great radio. I hear a person, L'Oreal,
- 58:18Speaker 1: who made comments, and I hear an artist, Young Miami,
- 58:22Speaker 1: who heard the comments, didn't like the comments, and guess
- 58:24Speaker 1: what they're doing that none of y'all ever do? Talking
- 58:26Speaker 1: to each other face-to-face. Healthy.
- 58:27Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
- 58:28Speaker 17: And I will say, I mean, this is just the
- 58:31Speaker 17: clip that's circulating. Sorry, Jess. This is the clip that's circulating,
- 58:33Speaker 17: but if you watch the full... They push through.
- 58:36Speaker 16: They have a great interview after this. L'Oreal does what
- 58:38Speaker 16: she do. She get to the question.
- 58:39Speaker 5: She's not going to stop. She's going to continue to
- 58:41Speaker 5: ask them questions.
- 58:42Speaker 16: And I also went back and looked at some of
- 58:43Speaker 16: her other commentary about young Miami in a too short interview.
- 58:46Speaker 17: She does defend the song.
- 58:47Speaker 16: Um, when she talked about the young Miami went into
- 58:49Speaker 16: podcast to where she was just honest that she didn't
- 58:51Speaker 16: think young Miami should have won it. And she mentioned,
- 58:53Speaker 16: she brought up the rumor about her dating Stefan Diggs.
- 58:56Speaker 16: She was honest in that situation too. So, I think,
- 58:58Speaker 16: you know, it is, it's like you hear one, you
- 58:59Speaker 16: hear some things and it will stick with you.
- 59:01Speaker 17: Young Miami was honest about that.
- 59:02Speaker 7: I also love when, when somebody says something about somebody
- 59:04Speaker 7: and it sticks with somebody.
- 59:06Speaker 4: And they bring it up immediately. They never forget it.
- 59:08Speaker 5: And y'all know who I am. Somebody say something about me, I'm.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Ready to fire.
- 59:11Speaker 4: It was 20 years ago.
- 59:14Speaker 5: It's how you feel.
- 59:15Speaker 7: I might not remember everything you said, But I know
- 59:18Speaker 7: you said something.
- 59:19Speaker 1: You should remember what I said, though, because it makes
- 59:21Speaker 1: it hit harder. You know, when you sit down with
- 59:22Speaker 1: the person, you're like, remember, you said X, Y, and Z.
- 59:24Speaker 4: But see, that's what happened with Sati Ray. I couldn't
- 59:26Speaker 4: remember what I said about it. Couldn't you say so much?
- 59:28Speaker 16: Yeah, and she couldn't remember either. But after like five minutes...
- 59:33Speaker 16: Everything was cool. Like, you know, I took accountability for
- 59:35Speaker 16: whatever I said, but that's what I love about L'Oreal
- 59:38Speaker 16: and that whole exchange. She was like, look, if I
- 59:40Speaker 16: said anything that made you feel that type of way,
- 59:42Speaker 16: I'm sorry, I'm just doing my job. I have to
- 59:44Speaker 16: bring up the things that other people say. I liked
- 59:46Speaker 16: it on both ends. You know, I saw some blogs
- 59:49Speaker 16: grabbing L'Oreal's Boss Man D'Lo comments about Young Miami to say, like,
- 59:53Speaker 16: maybe this is what Young Miami was talking about. Let's
- 59:55Speaker 16: take a listen to L'Oreal talking about Young Miami canceling
- 59:57Speaker 16: her appearance on Boss Man D'Lo's tour. Young Miami has
- 1:00:02Speaker 16: backed out of the tour. It was supposed to be
- 1:00:04Speaker 16: the Motion Party tour. She backed out, and they're saying
- 1:00:07Speaker 16: the reason why she backed out is because she's trying
- 1:00:10Speaker 16: to focus on her highly anticipated debut solo album. You know,
- 1:00:16Speaker 16: do you think that this is making her have a
- 1:00:19Speaker 16: bad rep? You keep backing out of things. I get
- 1:00:21Speaker 16: you got a good... Big song. But those big songs
- 1:00:24Speaker 16: don't last too long. I definitely think that she thinks
- 1:00:27Speaker 16: she's bigger than the program.
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: Like, when she signed on to do this tour, what
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: you think? Spend that wasn't spending that.
- 1:00:33Speaker 7: It wasn't spending like that.
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: It wasn't spending like that.
- 1:00:35Speaker 16: And I feel like she probably feels like she's bigger
- 1:00:37Speaker 16: than Boss Man D-Lo.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Maybe. That's a dirty game. She could have did this
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: weeks ago.
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: Like, how are you feeling about her if you're Boss
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: Man D-Lo?
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: I'm angry.
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: We got beef.
- 1:00:46Speaker 5: I'm putting out a beef.
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: We got beef two days before the tour.
- 1:00:48Speaker 17: I'm putting out a diss track.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that serious.
- 1:00:50Speaker 7: No, I'm putting a diss track out.
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely would have, like... called up Dale, said
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: something as soon as I sat down.
- 1:00:56Speaker 17: That was back in July.
- 1:00:57Speaker 16: Boss Man D'Lo did postpone the tour after Young Miami
- 1:01:00Speaker 16: backed up, but he was able to go on tour
- 1:01:01Speaker 16: after that. But Young Miami said then, and she said
- 1:01:03Speaker 16: again in this interview, that it wasn't her thinking she
- 1:01:06Speaker 16: was bigger than the program. She only had Spin That,
- 1:01:08Speaker 16: and she wanted to really go work on some music
- 1:01:10Speaker 16: so that when she did get back on stage, she
- 1:01:11Speaker 16: was able to have a plethora of songs in a performance.
- 1:01:14Speaker 17: And things happen.
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: I respect that. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:01:18Speaker 16: Yeah, they also got into Lisa Rae's comments about Spin That.
- 1:01:22Speaker 16: So for those of you guys who don't remember... Lisa
- 1:01:24Speaker 16: Rae was asked about Young Miami's spin that.
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: Love me some Lisa Rae.
- 1:01:27Speaker 17: Yeah, me too.
- 1:01:28Speaker 16: But Carisha didn't really care for her comments too much either.
- 1:01:31Speaker 16: Let's take a listen to Carisha on Lisa Rae. What's
- 1:01:34Speaker 16: so crazy is you watch the Playhouse Club.
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:01:37Speaker 16: So I wanted to recreate the scene in the dressing
- 1:01:42Speaker 16: room because, you know, it was like.
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: She got her ass beat. Yeah, diamond beat ass.
- 1:01:47Speaker 16: You know, I just wanted to put like a little
- 1:01:51Speaker 16: slice up of the video. But it's like to say
- 1:01:53Speaker 16: that about a song that you did a whole where
- 1:01:55Speaker 16: you was diamond in the Playhouse Club.
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: What are we talking about?
- 1:01:57Speaker 16: So how they gonna talk about just on her it
- 1:02:00Speaker 16: was NDI read too that also it's just music but
- 1:02:03Speaker 16: so like the movie is like what you just an
- 1:02:05Speaker 16: actor you was just acting in the movie she was
- 1:02:06Speaker 16: stripping why would you play that role exactly I thought
- 1:02:09Speaker 16: did you think she at least did good in the
- 1:02:11Speaker 16: role she did good eight to roll down yeah eight
- 1:02:13Speaker 16: to roll down just like young miami eight spin that
- 1:02:16Speaker 16: yeah i mean i think it's just it's i mean

- 1:03:21Speaker 1: The craziest people in America.
- 1:03:23Speaker 17: I really got Bronx trauma.
- 1:03:24Speaker 6: It's time for Donkey of the Day.
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: We in the Bronx.
- 1:03:27Speaker 7: Yeah, we can just walk in the background.
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: You're not shutting us down.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: We in the car goes with it. The craziest people
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: in America come from the Bronx.
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: And all of Florida.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news?
- 1:03:44Speaker 16: If I catch y'all as he said it, I'm with her,
- 1:03:47Speaker 16: my genie and I, y'all in sight.
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: It is just one of the many wacky news stories
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: out of Florida.
- 1:03:53Speaker 6: On The Breakfast Club.
- 1:03:54Speaker 8: Hee-haw, man.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Donkey of the Day for Thursday, October 15th goes to
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: a Florida man named Kushelin Sharatuya. I have no idea
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: what I just said. I have absolutely no idea what
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: I just said. This man's name looks like the last
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: line you read on the eye chart. OK, I have
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: no idea what I'm even looking at. But this man
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: is from Florida. And what does your uncle Charlotte say?
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: all of Florida. And today is no exception. OK, I
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: also want my beautiful Breakfast Club listeners to know that
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: your uncle Charlotte had bad. OK, I think as I
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: age gracefully, I'm developing some form of dyslexia. Because my
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: sense of humor sees what it wants to see. It's
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: like God knows my heart and my sense of humor,
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: and he's always trying to make me laugh, or she's
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: always trying to make me laugh. For example, I saw
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: this story this morning, and I read the headline four
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: times and got so excited because I thought the headline read,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Florida man shoots Uber, eats drive-in in the butt for
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: flirting with his girlfriend. I said to myself, what? Like,
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: I couldn't wait to read the story. I was praying
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: it was video. I literally said to myself, this man
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: shot an Uber and then ate the driver in the butt?
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: What kind of ferocious, freaky, Florida foolishness is this? I
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: had so many questions. I was wondering why he shot
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: the Uber. I wanted to know what did the car do?
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: How do you just eat the driver's butt afterward? Like,
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: what kind of— I was really confused, okay? But I had
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: the headline all wrong.
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: So excited.
- 1:05:21Speaker 9: All right?
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: The man didn't shoot an Uber— and eat the driver
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: in the butt he allegedly shot an uber eats driver
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: in the butt okay my english teacher mother would be
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: so upset at me punctuation matters reading comprehension matters not
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: having a sixth sense of humor matters okay because one
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: version of this story is attempted murder the other sounds
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: like a deleted scene from a ditty party okay but
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: i digress all right According to authorities, an Uber East
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: driver delivered food to a woman at an apartment complex
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: in Miami. Apparently, he thought the woman was attractive because
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: about an hour later, he came back. Okay, he came
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: back to get her phone number, and this happened. Let's
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: go to Local 10 News for the report, please.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Holding you with no bonds on count one.
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: No bonds for 33-year-old Colson Surultuya. As he faced a
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: Miami-Dade County judge on two separate cases... with charges to
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: include attempted murder to drug possession and trafficking narcotics.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: One of them is attempted felony murder, a first-degree felony,
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: which is a crime punishable by life in prison if
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: you're found guilty. Then you have a second case for
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: trafficking in amphetamines or MDMA.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: Miami-Dade police said the charges all stem from an incident
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: that happened here at the Pearl Dayland Luxury Apartments. It
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: was Monday, just after 3.30 in the morning. Investigators said
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: an Uber Eats driver made a delivery to a woman
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: at the building and took a liking to her. While
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: he left, he later returned in hopes of getting that
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: woman's phone number. While he was unsuccessful, police said as
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: he was walking back to his car, he was approached
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: by Cyril Tuya, who was with the woman, as he
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: forced that driver to the ground at gunpoint, pistol-whipped him,
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: and ultimately shot him.
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: He actually shot the victim in the.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: A buttocks, I believe, because he was talking to a
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: female who I think he knew.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: Unless he was trying to make a physical entrance or
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: breach his home, you know, I can't see there being
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: a need for that. The delivery driver drove himself to
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: the hospital where he is expected to survive his injury. Meanwhile,
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: Surul Tuya and the woman took off before police arrived. Ultimately,
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: they track him down to his apartment where he was arrested.
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: Now, I tell you every day that I'm not the
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: highest grade of weed in the dispensary, so I just
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: don't understand the logic of you being so concerned about
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: a man getting your woman's phone number that you would
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: do something. that is absolutely gonna take you away from
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: your girl for at least 20 to 30 years, okay?
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: Think about that, all right? Imagine being so afraid another
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: man might take your woman, so you put yourself in
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: a position where you not gonna be able to take
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: your woman nowhere, okay? And here's what I don't understand
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: about jealousy and rage, okay? If your girlfriend doesn't want
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: to Uber each driver, then what's the problem? let her
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: tell him no and if she does want to uber
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: each driver shooting him and eating his butt is it
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: gonna make her want you more okay you can't pistol
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: whip your way into a healthy relationship and you damn
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: sure don't build trust just because you ate some butt
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: now i know no actual butt was eaten in the
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: making of this story but my brain won't let it
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: go so just bear with me now if you heard
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: the news report then you heard when they searched whatever
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: his name is, Cush and Lund's apartment, okay, they allegedly
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: discovered a bunch of drugs, a bunch of money, and
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: what investigators described as a drug packaging operation. So you
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: mean to tell me this man allegedly had a whole
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: drug operation going on and he decided to shoot somebody
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: over the man wanting his girlfriend's phone number. You had
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: a whole criminal enterprise happening, allegedly, okay? A whole drug business, allegedly,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: that you probably didn't want law enforcement knowing anything about,
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: yet you made your own block hot. This is why
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: I don't be wanting to hear the rhetoric that women
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: are too emotional to lead. Okay, because clearly men can't
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: control their emotions either. How you got all this illegal
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: activity going on and you decide the most important thing
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: to do. that day was confront and eat the butt
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: of an uber eats driver allegedly okay I don't want
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: to tell y'all how to commit crimes because I have
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: no problem with y'all going to prison. But if you're
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: allegedly involved in illegal activity, you probably shouldn't do things
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: that attract the police. You actually didn't get caught. You
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: volunteered for this prison sentence. OK, and eating the butt
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: of the Uber Eats driver was just practice for what
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: the next 30 years of your life is going to
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: look like. OK, my brothers, emotional control is so important.
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: You can be intelligent enough to make money even if
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: it's dirty. disciplined enough to run a business, even if
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: it's illegal and ambitious enough to build something for yourself,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: even if it's a drug operation. But if you can't
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: control your emotions, you can destroy everything in a matter
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: of seconds. Now, I don't know whether this man is
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: guilty of the drug charges. That's for the courts to determine,
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: and the shooting allegations have to be proven too. But
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: if what the police are alleging is true, this guy
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: is a perfect example of how one stupid decision can
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: expose every other stupid decision you've been making. And that's
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: the moral of the story, ladies and gentlemen. Sometimes the
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: biggest threat that everything you've built isn't somebody trying to
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: take it from you.
- 1:10:07Speaker 10: It's you.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: OK, your ego, your jealousy, your temper, your inability to
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: walk away from something that doesn't deserve your attention. Nobody
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: forced this man to confront the driver with a gun.
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Nobody forced him to allegedly shoot anybody. And nobody forced
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: him to turn a situation that that could have ended
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: with a simple rejection into a criminal investigation. And the
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: saddest part is the girlfriend can still order Uber and
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: have another driver eating her butt tomorrow. Please let Remy
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Ma give Cushlin Sharatuya the biggest hee-haw.
- 1:10:45Speaker 4: Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f * * * er.
- 1:10:49Speaker 4: You dumb.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: It is a crazy world we live in.
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: Yo, I don't know why that's so funny to me.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: People are crazy.
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: Damn, y'all.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: What?
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: No butt was eaten in the making of the crime.
- 1:11:02Speaker 5: Nah, I get it. Shooting in the butt was far. Mm-hmm.
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: But you come to my house.
- 1:11:07Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: You deliver your Uber package. Uh-huh.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: You leave.
- 1:11:12Speaker 5: Then you come back to my house unannounced.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: And I'm supposed to just take that?
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: Did you miss the part where he had a whole
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: drug operation going on in the house?
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: A whole drug.
- 1:11:21Speaker 5: Besides the drug operation.
- 1:11:22Speaker 8: No, you can't.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: Now, see, this is why you be getting your butt
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: eaten randomly.
- 1:11:26Speaker 9: What?
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
- 1:11:28Speaker 5: I don't know what you mean.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean.
- 1:11:30Speaker 9: You know what?
- 1:11:30Speaker 7: What you talking about?
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: Forget it. Forget it. All right.
- 1:11:33Speaker 5: That's the donkey of the day.

- 1:12:07Speaker 4: Hey, John.
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:12:08Speaker 9: Okay. I left this, this girl is very narcissistic. She's like,
- 1:12:22Speaker 9: when would you talk about it all the time? She
- 1:12:24Speaker 9: does all kinds of crazy. She tells people all kinds
- 1:12:26Speaker 9: of crazy things about me.
- 1:12:27Speaker 8: That's not really what she does. She tells people I do.
- 1:12:30Speaker 9: But the situation I have now is once caught, we
- 1:12:33Speaker 9: got this whole big settlement about how we are. We
- 1:12:37Speaker 9: parent our child. But the problem is she won't let
- 1:12:41Speaker 9: me parent my child. Every, she won't let me talk
- 1:12:43Speaker 9: to him on the phone, making noise. She's holding these
- 1:12:46Speaker 9: grudges from the old days. Cause I left her. she's
- 1:12:50Speaker 9: telling my kid all kinds of crazy things about me.
- 1:12:53Speaker 9: My son tells me everything she says and my.
- 1:12:56Speaker 8: Kid is going through all kinds... My kid actually told.
- 1:12:58Speaker 9: Me that he feels his heart beating fast when he
- 1:13:00Speaker 9: has to go to his mother. Oh, wow.
- 1:13:04Speaker 8: When I tell you that hurt me when he told
- 1:13:06Speaker 8: me that, he said he gets.
- 1:13:08Speaker 9: My son, a nine-year-old kid, said he gets anxiety when
- 1:13:11Speaker 9: he goes back to his mother.
- 1:13:12Speaker 15: Jesus.
- 1:13:13Speaker 9: And, um... And she's just like... I'm hearing people, his friends,
- 1:13:18Speaker 9: his friends' parents, you know, talking about saying he's talking
- 1:13:22Speaker 9: about me and doing all kinds of stuff in front
- 1:13:25Speaker 9: of my son. She's doing all kinds of stuff, making
- 1:13:27Speaker 9: him feel certain ways. She actually told my son that
- 1:13:31Speaker 9: I abused him. And he's like, Dad, did you ever
- 1:13:33Speaker 9: abuse me? I said, what are you talking about? Mom
- 1:13:36Speaker 9: told me you beat me all the time. I just
- 1:13:38Speaker 9: don't remember. Which is, I never put my hands on
- 1:13:40Speaker 9: my tail, ever.
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: Okay, so are you.
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: uh, have you taken any legal action? Like, are you
- 1:13:45Speaker 4: going through the court? You're just like handling this. Okay.
- 1:13:48Speaker 9: The crazy thing is that I have, I got a lawyer.
- 1:13:50Speaker 9: I go to the courts. I have, I'm, I'm wanting
- 1:13:53Speaker 9: to know about the system, the court system and how to,
- 1:13:56Speaker 9: you know, do my work. I even did my own divorce.
- 1:13:59Speaker 9: But I've gone to them, and it's no matter what
- 1:14:02Speaker 9: I have done, no matter what I've shown them, I
- 1:14:04Speaker 9: keep my receipts. I show them. It's like the system
- 1:14:08Speaker 9: here is built against the men. They have done absolutely nothing.
- 1:14:12Speaker 9: They let her get away with everything. And the minute
- 1:14:14Speaker 9: she says something, they reprimand me, which is lies that
- 1:14:18Speaker 9: she's telling anyway. And I know a lot of people say, yeah,
- 1:14:21Speaker 9: that's what you say, but I.
- 1:14:22Speaker 8: Actually have the receipts for everything.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:14:24Speaker 9: And I don't know what to do anymore. It's like
- 1:14:26Speaker 9: I'm going through all this drama with her and my
- 1:14:29Speaker 9: kid is going through all this drama.
- 1:14:30Speaker 10: Right.
- 1:14:31Speaker 9: And she just won't grow up.
- 1:14:32Speaker 8: I think it's mostly because she's much younger than me, but.
- 1:14:36Speaker 9: Oh, okay.
- 1:14:36Speaker 14: All right.
- 1:14:37Speaker 4: Thanks for burying the lead. You said much younger than you.
- 1:14:40Speaker 4: How younger than you is she? How much younger?
- 1:14:42Speaker 9: 17 years.
- 1:14:44Speaker 8: But she's not young, though.
- 1:14:45Speaker 9: She's not young.
- 1:14:46Speaker 8: She's grown.
- 1:14:47Speaker 9: She's in her 40s.
- 1:14:48Speaker 4: Okay. When you met her, how old was she?
- 1:14:51Speaker 9: About 30.
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: Okay. And how old are you? You know, if you
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: don't mind me asking.
- 1:14:56Speaker 9: I was 17 years older.
- 1:14:57Speaker 5: No, no, no.
- 1:14:58Speaker 4: Don't give me no damn math problems.
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: How old were you? Shoot.
- 1:15:02Speaker 9: I was 17.
- 1:15:03Speaker 8: She was 30.
- 1:15:03Speaker 4: All right, so you were 47 when you met her. Like,
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: she was 30, you were 47. Okay, I understand. So,
- 1:15:10Speaker 4: you do.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy.
- 1:15:12Speaker 4: No, no, no. I mean, no.
- 1:15:14Speaker 8: It is.
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: Because she is... She was grown when you met her.
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: She's grown now. So she should be way past all
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: the childish-ish. And I do understand.
- 1:15:23Speaker 16: However, how long were you with her before you actually
- 1:15:28Speaker 16: had a baby with her? Because she could have been
- 1:15:30Speaker 16: dealing with mental health issues. She could have been crazy
- 1:15:32Speaker 16: like this, honestly.
- 1:15:33Speaker 9: She actually... I did learn a lot about after I
- 1:15:37Speaker 9: divorced her because she actually kind of kidnapped my son
- 1:15:41Speaker 9: and I had to I had to actually get an
- 1:15:43Speaker 9: investigator to find her and find out information about it.
- 1:15:46Speaker 9: But she did have a very traumatic childhood growing up.
- 1:15:51Speaker 9: Terribly traumatic.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: And obviously she hasn't.
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: Dealt with it. Obviously she hasn't gotten therapy. She hasn't
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: gotten pistols.
- 1:15:58Speaker 9: She has an issue with men. She has an issue
- 1:16:02Speaker 9: with anybody just being authoritative. She tried to, with me,
- 1:16:08Speaker 9: tried to actually be, wanted to grow up. But she
- 1:16:11Speaker 9: wasn't ready to grow up.
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: Right, right.
- 1:16:14Speaker 9: She wants to be different. But when she got different,
- 1:16:17Speaker 9: she wants to be married. But when she got married,
- 1:16:19Speaker 9: I guess she didn't understand what marriage entails.
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:16:22Speaker 9: And it's just too much for her. And I got it.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: I got that.
- 1:16:26Speaker 9: But, I mean, we're grown.
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: We're grown and we got to get past it.
- 1:16:30Speaker 16: Yes, but if somebody has never learned or was properly
- 1:16:35Speaker 16: taught how to be grown, they don't.
- 1:16:38Speaker 4: They don't know. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:16:40Speaker 16: And I'm not justifying any of her actions. And I
- 1:16:43Speaker 16: actually do apologize for calling her crazy. Because after you
- 1:16:46Speaker 16: just told me what I was already thinking. Yeah, she
- 1:16:49Speaker 16: had to have a crazy upbringing. You know, I want
- 1:16:52Speaker 16: to stop using the C word. An unfortunate, traumatic upbringing.
- 1:16:57Speaker 16: Her childhood did not go the way a childhood should
- 1:16:59Speaker 16: go for a child. You know, and now she's carrying
- 1:17:02Speaker 16: this over into her adult life. And now she's a
- 1:17:05Speaker 16: mom and now she's a wife and she hasn't even
- 1:17:07Speaker 16: worked out traumatic issues from when she was a child.
- 1:17:11Speaker 16: So now this is all spilling over. And to you,
- 1:17:15Speaker 16: it's just like, she just won't grow up. Well, how
- 1:17:17Speaker 16: does she grow up?
- 1:17:17Speaker 5: She won't grow up.
- 1:17:18Speaker 16: Have you ever sat down and actually had a conversation
- 1:17:21Speaker 16: with her or are y'all way past that?
- 1:17:23Speaker 9: Man, listen, I've had so many conversations in the past.
- 1:17:27Speaker 9: She has specifically admitted that she feels like she's somewhat...
- 1:17:33Speaker 9: of a sociopath and she lies a lot and all
- 1:17:35Speaker 9: this stuff. And now the kids, she doesn't really like
- 1:17:39Speaker 9: the kids. They're very disrespectful to her. I told her,
- 1:17:42Speaker 9: she has two kids and I have one with her.
- 1:17:44Speaker 9: And I always told her, like, you know, your relationship
- 1:17:47Speaker 9: with the kids, they're going to be disrespectful to you.
- 1:17:49Speaker 9: They respect the s * * * of me. But
- 1:17:52Speaker 9: they're very disrespectful to her. She thinks it's me that's
- 1:17:55Speaker 9: doing it. I'm like, it's not me. It's how you
- 1:17:57Speaker 9: communicate with your kids.
- 1:17:58Speaker 4: You can't.
- 1:18:00Speaker 9: Be arguing with your kids at four and expect them
- 1:18:04Speaker 9: to grow up respecting you. They're going to be arguing
- 1:18:06Speaker 9: with you more.
- 1:18:07Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly.
- 1:18:09Speaker 9: It's these things that she doesn't understand. And her parenting
- 1:18:12Speaker 9: skills was always the biggest problem with us. And, and
- 1:18:16Speaker 9: it's just, I just don't know what to do now.
- 1:18:18Speaker 9: Cause everybody thinks like, you know, I used to be,
- 1:18:20Speaker 9: I'm one of them guys. Trust me. I'm, I'm a
- 1:18:22Speaker 9: street dude. I never talked to nobody about nothing.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: I always kept.
- 1:18:26Speaker 9: My issues to myself and dealt with it. But I, I, I'm,
- 1:18:30Speaker 9: I'm even past that now.
- 1:18:32Speaker 8: I got it.
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: I don't even know what to do anymore.
- 1:18:36Speaker 4: You got, I.
- 1:18:37Speaker 9: Got to the point where I was talking, I was
- 1:18:39Speaker 9: so afraid to talk to people, not afraid, but didn't
- 1:18:41Speaker 9: want people in my business.
- 1:18:42Speaker 11: Right.
- 1:18:43Speaker 9: I started talking to Goddamn Claude.
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: You started talking to who?
- 1:18:47Speaker 9: The AI, Claude. Oh, man.
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: Chad GBC, you've been talking to Chad GBC about your podcast.
- 1:18:52Speaker 9: Believe it or not, believe it or not, he actually
- 1:18:56Speaker 9: gave me some great advice of things.
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: To do, believe it or not.
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: That's amazing. What did he help you with? What did
- 1:19:00Speaker 4: he tell you?
- 1:19:01Speaker 9: He helped get a lot of things out of my
- 1:19:03Speaker 9: mind and how I'm seeing things and told me what
- 1:19:06Speaker 9: I should do as far as who I should reach
- 1:19:08Speaker 9: out to. He got some people for me to look
- 1:19:11Speaker 9: into without me prompting him. He's really got what's concerned
- 1:19:15Speaker 9: and had actually statistics of Things like this that happened.
- 1:19:19Speaker 8: He kind of helped me out a little bit.
- 1:19:20Speaker 9: You know, I'm not crazy where I'm getting into the
- 1:19:24Speaker 9: LGBT thing like that. But he did move it. That's
- 1:19:28Speaker 9: why I'm talking to you. He got me to that point.
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: Well, I actually do love that because look at the growth.
- 1:19:33Speaker 16: You went from not telling nobody nothing to talking to,
- 1:19:35Speaker 16: you know... uh ai therapist and now you're talking to
- 1:19:38Speaker 16: me you know and it's only gonna get better for
- 1:19:40Speaker 16: you as well um.
- 1:19:42Speaker 9: I got your book and everything i got your book
- 1:19:45Speaker 9: and everything.
- 1:19:45Speaker 16: I appreciate that yes you need to read it she
- 1:19:48Speaker 16: need to read it too but before she reads it
- 1:19:50Speaker 16: she needs to go sit down with the therapist herself
- 1:19:52Speaker 16: she needs professional help and her kids i'm so sorry
- 1:19:55Speaker 16: but her kids need to give her grace you know
- 1:19:57Speaker 16: what i mean i know you all out of grace
- 1:19:58Speaker 16: to give her but She needs, yeah, she just needs
- 1:20:01Speaker 16: to heal from whatever she went through in her childhood.
- 1:20:04Speaker 4: Apparently, it has made her tumultuous.
- 1:20:09Speaker 9: And the thing about, you know, the trait of a narcissist,
- 1:20:11Speaker 9: because especially with the way I was, I never said
- 1:20:14Speaker 9: nothing to nobody. You know, I learned about this narcissistic
- 1:20:17Speaker 9: thing about how these people, like, they give off this
- 1:20:21Speaker 9: innocent thing and always makes everybody look to be.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: Like the bad person.
- 1:20:26Speaker 9: And she has gone around and told everybody all this
- 1:20:29Speaker 9: lunatic stuff about me that now I'm sitting around trying
- 1:20:32Speaker 9: to defend myself. And I'm in the middle of, should
- 1:20:36Speaker 9: I even bother to defend myself and tell the truth
- 1:20:38Speaker 9: to people? Or should I just let these people look
- 1:20:40Speaker 9: at me like I'm crazy? And I was always one
- 1:20:42Speaker 9: that lived off my name.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: She knows that.
- 1:20:45Speaker 4: Listen, you don't got nothing to prove to nobody. You
- 1:20:47Speaker 4: know what you do. It's okay.
- 1:20:49Speaker 16: Let the people think that. And if they in their
- 1:20:50Speaker 16: right mind, they know that there's something wrong with her.
- 1:20:54Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? So, it's okay.
- 1:20:56Speaker 9: Well, man, listen, if you meet this girl, you'll probably
- 1:20:58Speaker 9: believe her, too.
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. So don't worry about your reputation.
- 1:21:02Speaker 4: There's so many other things that you need to worry about, brother.
- 1:21:04Speaker 16: But I do appreciate you reaching out to me, being
- 1:21:07Speaker 16: vulnerable enough to let me know what's going on, you know,
- 1:21:10Speaker 16: to share your mess and everything. And I hope I
- 1:21:12Speaker 16: I hope I further confirmed what you've been saying. I mean,
- 1:21:15Speaker 16: you know what you already know, like she just needs
- 1:21:17Speaker 16: to at this point is her. It's nothing else that
- 1:21:19Speaker 16: you can do, you know, unless she is causing the
- 1:21:22Speaker 16: children harm in any way, physically or mentally.
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: She still has to be allowed to be a mother.
- 1:21:27Speaker 4: You know what I mean? She's going to bash you.
- 1:21:29Speaker 16: You just got to prepare your kids for that because
- 1:21:32Speaker 16: she's going to do that until she gets help.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: That's all.
- 1:21:35Speaker 9: That's the thing I really want to ask you. Prepare
- 1:21:37Speaker 9: the kids. Should I talk to my son more about
- 1:21:40Speaker 9: what he's seeing? Because he's looking at... She could convince
- 1:21:43Speaker 9: him that something's wrong with his dad. But that's the
- 1:21:46Speaker 9: problem here.
- 1:21:47Speaker 8: That's where I have the problem.
- 1:21:48Speaker 9: Do I discuss this with my son?
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you do.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: You do.
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: Because you have to tell the truth without....
- 1:21:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:21:57Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:21:58Speaker 16: Without bashing her, you have to tell the truth to
- 1:22:00Speaker 16: your kids.
- 1:22:01Speaker 4: All right. Okay.

- 1:22:50Speaker 16: rounds promoting the movie Fightland.
- 1:22:53Speaker 4: Street Fighter. Don't mess up my guy's first week numbers now.
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: I'm not going to mess up his first week numbers.
- 1:22:58Speaker 4: It's so much going on.
- 1:23:04Speaker 16: I'm not going to mess up the first week numbers.
- 1:23:06Speaker 16: He's been promoting this forever. He's doing a great job
- 1:23:08Speaker 16: at it. Yes, he was on Flagrant with Andrew Schultz
- 1:23:11Speaker 16: and the gang.
- 1:23:12Speaker 5: But it's Fight Man 2, though. He has two shows.
- 1:23:13Speaker 4: I know.
- 1:23:14Speaker 16: He got like 50 million of them. Congratulations on them.
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: Can't wait to get on one.
- 1:23:18Speaker 10: Sorry.
- 1:23:18Speaker 4: You will, girl.
- 1:23:19Speaker 17: And I'll get the name of it right when you
- 1:23:20Speaker 17: get there.
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:23:22Speaker 16: So he's talking about Jay-Z and Jay-Z's dominance. Let's take
- 1:23:26Speaker 16: a listen to this back and forth.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: Just say this, though. At what point did Jay-Z's music dominate?
- 1:23:31Speaker 5: I would say since he came out until probably early 2000s.
- 1:23:34Speaker 11: What I would say to you is, when did he
- 1:23:36Speaker 11: dominate when Biggie and Tupac was a lot?
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: It was not dominating.
- 1:23:41Speaker 6: He wasn't.
- 1:23:41Speaker 11: Even that album that you just said. I would say
- 1:23:44Speaker 11: Hard Knocked. The concert was Honor and Reasonable Doubt. That
- 1:23:47Speaker 11: album charted at number 23. So when was he dominating
- 1:23:50Speaker 11: in his strong focus volume two? This is what I'm
- 1:23:53Speaker 11: saying to you. He didn't have those moments like that.
- 1:23:55Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying? He was clearly the guy.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: His opportunity to be the guy. He ain't have it.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: He lost it.
- 1:24:01Speaker 5: It was him and Nas. But he didn't have a
- 1:24:04Speaker 5: big cosign when he was coming.
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: He lost it.
- 1:24:06Speaker 5: He lost it.
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: Nas won. Are we talking? I sent his ass.
- 1:24:12Speaker 5: I mean, you lost.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: You lost the battle.
- 1:24:13Speaker 11: I sent his ass to be the president of Debt Check.
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: You lost my momentum.
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: I sent his funky ass to go over there.
- 1:24:20Speaker 6: I got to get back in the corporate.
- 1:24:22Speaker 9: I'm out.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: I can't do.
- 1:24:23Speaker 4: This right now.
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: You lost the Kanye.
- 1:24:26Speaker 17: That was Alex Media. You're here going back and forth
- 1:24:28Speaker 17: with F50.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: Go ahead. Tag rock boy Sha Lin.
- 1:24:31Speaker 9: Tag me in.
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: Tag me in.
- 1:24:33Speaker 4: Let me earn my check.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: First of all, people underestimate how big Jay-Z was in 1998. Okay.
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: Volume 2. No, that was Volume 2.
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: Hard Knock Life. 5 million copies sold.
- 1:24:45Speaker 8: Right?
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: How many songs came off that album? Hard Knock Life,
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Can I Get A Money, Cash Holes. what else was
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: on that album? It was a classic album. I know
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: he sold five million records and it was a hard
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: knock life tour. And then, don't sleep on from 2000
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: to 2003. The Dynasty, The Blueprint, The Blueprint 2, The
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: Black Album. Yes, Eminem had more worldwide success. 50 had
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: a hotter moment. He was very hot in 03, but
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: I think Jay-Z's longevity actually works against him sometimes because
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: people don't remember. For whatever reason, people are acting like
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: they don't remember his peak, but we lived it.
- 1:25:19Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 1:25:20Speaker 7: Yeah, no, Jay definitely had a huge peak and was
- 1:25:23Speaker 7: very dominant. But, you know, the thing that I will
- 1:25:26Speaker 7: say about Jay that's unlike a lot of these other
- 1:25:28Speaker 7: artists is for some reason it doesn't feel like Jay
- 1:25:31Speaker 7: had the smash hits commercially. But when you go to
- 1:25:34Speaker 7: the club, yeah, Money Cash Holes, I mean, PSA, you
- 1:25:38Speaker 7: don't know. He has so many records. He was so
- 1:25:40Speaker 7: big in the clubs. that it was out of this world.
- 1:25:43Speaker 7: But he also had, what, 13 number one albums.
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: So at that period, all of those albums that were
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: dropping were debuting at number one on the Billboard chart.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: So yes, to your point, he may not have had
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: like the super duper crazy smash singles, but all of
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: those albums were going number one. And when we talk
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: about like moments and peaks, you had a bunch of
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: artists who had peaks like DMX, had a red hot
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: peak nelly had a red hot peak little wayne had
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: a red hot peak 50 had a red hot peak
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: jay-z was commercially relevant for so long that it's like
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: his dominance started to feel normal i'm saying but we
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: can't rewrite history guys we lived it why are we
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: acting like we didn't live through that through that era.
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: Okay so we you don't agree with curtis no.
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: Okay And when you say, when was he hot during
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: Pac and Biggie, he wasn't out during Pac and Biggie.
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: Reasonable Doubt didn't come out until 1996, September of 96.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: When did Big pass, 98?
- 1:26:33Speaker 5: No, Big Doubt in 97. 97? I was five.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: And Pac died in 96.
- 1:26:36Speaker 4: 96?
- 1:26:36Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:26:37Speaker 5: Reasonable Doubt came out September of 1996.
- 1:26:40Speaker 8: Yeah, well....
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:26:47Speaker 17: Well, Rock Boy Charlotte, you ate that up for us.
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: I think it's the difference between being the hottest rapper.
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: It's the difference between being the hottest rapper at a
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: particular moment and then, you know, being like a consistently
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: relevant rapper for an entire time.
- 1:27:02Speaker 7: Generation well jay-z has been consistently relevant since 96 like
- 1:27:06Speaker 7: you can't say that he has in between the albums
- 1:27:08Speaker 7: and all this up now you ain't have to like
- 1:27:10Speaker 7: every record that he put out but he's been consistently
- 1:27:13Speaker 7: relevant for 20 30 years and he's.
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: Been the bar for all of these guys it's just
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: the reality of the situation.
- 1:27:22Speaker 4: Okay is he not the bar.
- 1:27:24Speaker 16: No, I mean, I think he is, but I think
- 1:27:26Speaker 16: 50 Cent's point is that if that was the case,
- 1:27:30Speaker 16: then how we look at him now, why did Reasonable
- 1:27:32Speaker 16: Doubt come in at number 23?
- 1:27:34Speaker 17: That's what he was trying to make up.
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: What does it matter when 30 years later, that album
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: has appreciated with value so much to the point that,
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: you know, you can sell out a whole night at
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium just for us to go listen to that
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: one album?
- 1:27:46Speaker 7: Reasonable Doubt wasn't a smash when it came out. But
- 1:27:48Speaker 7: Jay-Z admits that, though. It was a street classic, right?
- 1:27:51Speaker 7: Because it wasn't a smash. I don't even know if
- 1:27:53Speaker 7: it was a street classic. It was a street classic.
- 1:27:56Speaker 7: It was something New York loved. When that came out,
- 1:27:58Speaker 7: that was a street classic.
- 1:27:59Speaker 4: That's part of it.
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: It wasn't just New York. My homeboy Boobie, he loved
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: that album. And I was Wu-Tang-ed.
- 1:28:05Speaker 6: You know, J.
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: Rudy, Damage Your Boot Can't Click Out. I did not
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: want to hear no reasonable doubt.
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: That was a street classic.
- 1:28:10Speaker 4: So we appreciated it later.
- 1:28:12Speaker 5: That was a street classic for New York.
- 1:28:13Speaker 7: And New York was, and Jay-Z was an artist back
- 1:28:15Speaker 7: then that would be outside. So you would see Hov
- 1:28:18Speaker 7: in those clubs and you would hear Can't Knock the Hustle,
- 1:28:21Speaker 7: Ain't No Igger.
- 1:28:21Speaker 5: Like you would hear those records. So it was a
- 1:28:24Speaker 5: street classic, absolutely positive.
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: But we can't act like, like 1998 was massive. Hard
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: Knock Life was huge.
- 1:28:30Speaker 16: Do y'all think his business, business Jay-Z also overshadowed, you know,
- 1:28:35Speaker 16: overshadowed the music? Because Kanye started making big deals and
- 1:28:39Speaker 16: big moves. Yeah, well, 50, when he makes a joke about,
- 1:28:41Speaker 16: you know, Jay-Z going over to Def Jam, he then
- 1:28:43Speaker 16: gets into the conversation of like Jay-Z as the executive
- 1:28:45Speaker 16: and putting all the power behind Kanye to make sure
- 1:28:48Speaker 16: that Kanye's graduation did way better than Curtis. And that's
- 1:28:51Speaker 16: why he lost the Kanye in essence. That's what Alex
- 1:28:54Speaker 16: Media was talking about when he was like, you lost
- 1:28:55Speaker 16: the Yeh.
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: Well, Kanye started to capture culture in a different way
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: at that time. Like, you know, Kanye is another one.
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: When it comes to cultural relevance, Kanye shaped a whole generation. Like,
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: literally after Kanye, that's when you get your Kendricks and
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: you get your J. Coles and you get your Drakes
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: and you get your Wale's and Chance the Rapper's and
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: Kid Cudi's. Like, he shaped... a whole generation of self.
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: I always think about like that battle, because if that
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: battle would have went a different way, like 50 would
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: have sold more than Kanye. The industry would have still
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: been giving us more gangster type rappers, but because Kanye
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: sold more, the industry shifted.
- 1:29:31Speaker 7: And also like, like what Charlamagne just said, Kanye was
- 1:29:35Speaker 7: more than just a rapper. And during that time, he
- 1:29:37Speaker 7: was the sneaker guy. He was the, the polo guy.
- 1:29:40Speaker 7: He was the clothes. He was culture outside of just music.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: If Kanye, if Kanye would have, you know, not had
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: his kerfuffle over the last few years. There would be
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: no rapper that would have been more culturally relevant. He
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: would have been the most culturally relevant, not even just rapper,
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: artist ever. Not only did he have everybody listening to
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: his music, he had people walking around in his sneakers.
- 1:30:02Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:30:03Speaker 16: In his clothes and his swag. I would argue even
- 1:30:06Speaker 16: with all the kerfuffle, he still is.
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: All genres, all generations, all races. Everything.
- 1:30:11Speaker 7: But he also gave suburbia a voice. He gave the
- 1:30:14Speaker 7: nerds a voice. He gave people that wasn't gangsta a voice.
- 1:30:17Speaker 7: And that was the biggest thing. It was somebody from
- 1:30:19Speaker 7: the suburbs that could be like, I like him and
- 1:30:21Speaker 7: I want to dress like him. I didn't have to
- 1:30:22Speaker 7: be gangsta. I didn't have to grow up in the hood.
- 1:30:24Speaker 5: He gave all those kids voices.
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:30:26Speaker 11: Yeah. Yep.
- 1:30:27Speaker 9: All right.
- 1:30:27Speaker 4: Y'all want to make sure y'all.
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: Go to his big brother. Say it.
- 1:30:33Speaker 4: Jay-Z.
- 1:30:39Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: You can be commercially relevant and have success for so
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: long that your dominance starts to feel normal. But we
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: can't do revisionist history and act like, you know, Jay-Z
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: hasn't been the bar for.
- 1:30:53Speaker 6: A long, long, long, long, long time.
- 1:30:55Speaker 5: Now, Jay-Z has had dominance since 97, 98.
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: Long time. Yeah, up and down.
- 1:30:59Speaker 5: And he's put out records.
- 1:31:00Speaker 7: Like I said, it hasn't been as impactful as some
- 1:31:02Speaker 7: of these other people that you named, like Nelly's Project
- 1:31:04Speaker 7: and 50's Project and these projects.
- 1:31:06Speaker 5: I disagree with that. But The Dominance.
- 1:31:07Speaker 8: What?
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: Because critically, though, critically, Jay-Z has put out way better
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: albums than Nelly.
- 1:31:12Speaker 12: Come on.
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: Cut it out. And I respect Nelly. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:31:16Speaker 7: But when Nelly came, that was a hot source that
- 1:31:18Speaker 7: nobody could take back. Like when 50 came, it was
- 1:31:20Speaker 7: a hot source that nobody could take. It was an album.
- 1:31:22Speaker 5: It was a moment.
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: A moment.
- 1:31:24Speaker 5: It was a huge moment.
- 1:31:25Speaker 16: That was the latest with Lauren LaRosa, guys. You get
- 1:31:30Speaker 16: the latest from me, but you can also get the

- 1:33:34Speaker 12: Absolutely. Howard homecoming this weekend.
- 1:33:36Speaker 10: I'm excited and going home Saturday night at the reunion party.
- 1:33:41Speaker 12: Method Man is going to be there.
- 1:33:43Speaker 4: Not Big Mac.
- 1:33:44Speaker 12: Method Man. Yes.
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 1:33:48Speaker 12: So, yeah, I'm excited. Saturday night. The Bison experience is
- 1:33:51Speaker 12: going to be great.
- 1:33:51Speaker 17: Lord have mercy.
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:33:53Speaker 5: Now, when we come back, we got the positive note now.
- 1:33:56Speaker 9: Yes, man.
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: The positive note, October 15th is out of my daily
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: affirmation book, The Daily Stoic. Give people the benefit of
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: the doubt, okay? Everything turns on your assumptions about it
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: and that's on you. You can pluck out the hasty
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: judgment at will and like steering a ship around the
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: point you will find calm seas, fair weather, and a
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: safe port. That's from Marcus Aurelius, okay? Listen, even a dog,
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, distinguishes between
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: being stumbled over and being kicked. Yet, if you've ever
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: accidentally stepped on your dog, you know that the first
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: reaction is usually a bark or a yelp or a
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: quick snap of the jaws. In that instant... Okay, there
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: is no distinction, just pain. Then the dog sees who
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: it was, hears your soothing voice, and goes right back
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: to wagging his tail. Listen, a virtuous person does not
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: jump to hasty judgments about other people. A virtuous person
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: is generous with assumptions that something was an accident, that
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: someone didn't know, that it won't happen again. This makes
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: life easier to bear and makes us more tolerant. Meanwhile,
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: assuming malice, the most hasty of judgments, makes everything harder
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: to bear. Be deliberate in accommodating with your assumptions about
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: other people, and you'll find, as Marcus says, calmer seas
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: and fairer weather. Have a nice day.
- 1:35:05Speaker 4: Breakfast club, bitches!
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: You all finished or you all done?
- 1:35:09Speaker 5: Woke up, woke up, wake you up.
- 1:35:10Speaker 6: Wake that ass up.
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on iHeartRadio.
