- 6:25Speaker 13: of wearing a jersey.
- 6:25Speaker 4: That's gonna be the only change.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Shit.
- 6:27Speaker 4: And they won by luck. And in Monday Night Football,
- 6:29Speaker 4: the Commands take on the Chiefs at eight fifteen.
- 6:32Speaker 14: What's up, Mimi, Good morning, Mva Josh Charlamage, how y'all
- 6:35Speaker 14: doing this morning?
- 6:37Speaker 15: Good morning?
- 6:38Speaker 14: All right, Well, we start this morning on day twenty
- 6:41Speaker 14: seven of the government shut down, and the impact is
- 6:44Speaker 14: being felt just about everywhere, from the airports to the
- 6:47Speaker 14: kitchen tables. Now, the FAA they issued a ground stop
- 6:50Speaker 14: at Lax Sunday morning because of staffing shortages, forcing planes
- 6:54Speaker 14: headed for Los Angeles to sit on the tarmac for
- 6:58Speaker 14: nearly two hours.
- 6:59Speaker 16: Now.
- 6:59Speaker 14: Flights into Newark, Chicago, and Southwest Florida were also delayed,
- 7:03Speaker 14: part of a ripple effect spreading across the country. At
- 7:06Speaker 14: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. He warned this weekend on Fox
- 7:11Speaker 14: News that flight disruptions will likely get worse, especially as
- 7:15Speaker 14: tomorrow marks the first full week without pay for air
- 7:18Speaker 14: traffic controllers still working throughout the shutdown.
- 7:21Speaker 15: Let's listen to that.
- 7:23Speaker 17: Yeah, So they got their notice on Thursday and Friday,
- 7:26Speaker 17: they get a notice of what they're going to be
- 7:27Speaker 17: paid on Tuesday, and they got a big fat zero
- 7:30Speaker 17: no paycheck is coming on Tuesday.
- 7:32Speaker 6: And so I've been out.
- 7:33Speaker 17: Talking to our air traffic controllers and you can see
- 7:36Speaker 17: the stress These are people that oftentimes live paycheck to paycheck.
- 7:39Speaker 17: They're concerned about gas in the car, they're concerned about
- 7:42Speaker 17: childcare and mortgages, and so I'm seeing the stress come
- 7:47Speaker 17: for the controllers. Just yesterday, Marie, we had twenty two
- 7:50Speaker 17: staffing triggers. That's one of the highest that we've seen
- 7:54Speaker 17: in the system since the shutdown began. And that's a
- 7:57Speaker 17: sign that the controllers are wearing thin. And again they're
- 8:01Speaker 17: taking second jobs. They're out there looking can I drive over,
- 8:03Speaker 17: can I find another source of income?
- 8:08Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 8:09Speaker 6: Yeah, people don't realize how ugly it's about to be.
- 8:11Speaker 5: Man, you saw this weekend to the USDA said they
- 8:13Speaker 5: can't use emergency funds for food stamps, so it can't
- 8:16Speaker 5: use contingency funds to pay for food stamps during the
- 8:18Speaker 5: government shutdown, and states won't be reimbirthed at they cover the.
- 8:21Speaker 6: Expenses on their own. So it's about to be ugly.
- 8:25Speaker 18: Yes, it is absolutely.
- 8:27Speaker 14: And on top of that, the FAA they're already short
- 8:30Speaker 14: three thousand air traffic controllers and many that are on
- 8:33Speaker 14: the job without pay are already working mandatory over time
- 8:36Speaker 14: with six days a week without pay. And as you mentioned, Charlemagne.
- 8:39Speaker 14: It is not just limited to the airports. The Department
- 8:42Speaker 14: of Agriculture, they did just post yesterday that SNAP benefits
- 8:46Speaker 14: will stop November first, and that's the program that helps
- 8:48Speaker 14: about one in eight Americans put food on the table. So,
- 8:52Speaker 14: you know, the White House, the White House Democrats Republicans
- 8:56Speaker 14: are pointing fingers at each other.
- 8:57Speaker 15: Meanwhile the American people are so the only day I can.
- 9:01Speaker 5: Tell y'all, man, I might ambassador at the food Bank
- 9:04Speaker 5: in Harlem. You know, I do work with the Hope
- 9:07Speaker 5: Center in Charleston, South Carolina as well. Find a food
- 9:10Speaker 5: bank in your local neighborhood, and you know, if you've
- 9:14Speaker 5: got a couple of extra dollars to donate to them,
- 9:16Speaker 5: do it because a lot of these people who rely
- 9:18Speaker 5: on snapping these other benefits, they're gonna go hungry and
- 9:20Speaker 5: they're gonna be relying on food banks, you know, so
- 9:23Speaker 5: please please donate to your local food bank.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be nasty, and the trickle effect is
- 9:27Speaker 4: really gonna hurt not just you know, people eating, but
- 9:30Speaker 4: people's businesses as well.
- 9:32Speaker 3: Like you think about it.
- 9:32Speaker 4: Even we were at homecoming this weekend and I were
- 9:34Speaker 4: talking to people and it was like they might not
- 9:36Speaker 4: be able to afford to go back to school because
- 9:38Speaker 4: a lot of the you know, the military is what
- 9:41Speaker 4: you know, Hampton is based off of it's military, and
- 9:43Speaker 4: it was like a lot of people won't be able
- 9:44Speaker 4: to do a lot of things. It's it's gonna be
- 9:46Speaker 4: nasty man.
- 9:47Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely a ripple effect, all right.
- 9:50Speaker 14: And lastly, the Trump administration, they are sending election officials
- 9:54Speaker 14: to monitor polling sites in California and New Jersey that's
- 9:57Speaker 14: coming up ahead of the November fourth special election. Now
- 10:00Speaker 14: that usual, that oversight isn't unusual, but this time is
- 10:04Speaker 14: drawing attention because of what's on the ballot, Proposition fifty
- 10:07Speaker 14: in California. That's the state's redistricting measure that could shift
- 10:10Speaker 14: political power in Congress. Democrats call it a political intimidation
- 10:14Speaker 14: tactic meant to discourage turnout. But Republicans they're saying, nope,
- 10:18Speaker 14: it's just to monitor what's going on for transparency and
- 10:22Speaker 14: ballot security. But we will see either way. A federal
- 10:25Speaker 14: elections being monitored. Showing up at local polls is the
- 10:29Speaker 14: latest reminder just how electrically electrically charged this election season
- 10:34Speaker 14: is becoming. So we will continue to watch that and
- 10:38Speaker 14: a familiar change is coming back around, coming up at seven,
- 10:41Speaker 14: and not everyone is a fan will tell you what
- 10:43Speaker 14: it is and why.
- 10:44Speaker 15: Some people say it is time for it.
- 10:46Speaker 4: To go all right, and everybody else Get it off
- 10:48Speaker 4: your chest eight hundred five eighty five, one oh five one.

- 13:27Speaker 22: Okay?
- 13:27Speaker 2: So I worked Florida FAA, and I'm constantly hearing about
- 13:31Speaker 2: how the aircraft and controllers are working without pay. I
- 13:35Speaker 2: need our Secretary Sean Duffy to come and talk through
- 13:38Speaker 2: the FASS and talk to those who are working in
- 13:41Speaker 2: the regional offices because we are working without pay. We
- 13:45Speaker 2: are working to keep them now safe and efficient. So
- 13:49Speaker 2: without the air traffic controllers, there's no aircraftic control powers
- 13:53Speaker 2: and we build those so our men are our men
- 13:56Speaker 2: and women are out in the field going from state
- 13:59Speaker 2: to state, puts the airport radar site to radar sides,
- 14:02Speaker 2: working to make sure that the airspace is saying, we
- 14:06Speaker 2: are working without pay. We are working without any news
- 14:09Speaker 2: or any hope of how we're paying our rent, mortgaging
- 14:12Speaker 2: our children's tuition. Like, so, it's not just the airtraffic controllers,
- 14:17Speaker 2: it's everybody in the FAA who is forced to work
- 14:21Speaker 2: without pay in the conditions.

- 14:29Speaker 2: They know we're working without pay. But we're always hearing is.
- 14:33Speaker 22: It's not the controllers, So it's making us think that
- 14:36Speaker 22: making us feel that it's only one set of people
- 14:39Speaker 22: that they're working they're thinking about. So I didn't need
- 14:42Speaker 22: them to come and talk to those who are working
- 14:45Speaker 22: in these in these in the buildings and the offices
- 14:49Speaker 22: and just just do a temperature check.
- 14:52Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you.
- 14:52Speaker 5: I just don't want you to ever think that they
- 14:54Speaker 5: are not aware that they're not paying, y'all.
- 14:55Speaker 6: They are fully aware that they're not paying.
- 14:58Speaker 4: Yeah, it's sad, man, it's it's so Damn mortgage, is

- 15:22Speaker 2: the office and in a few stings with our coworkers,
- 15:26Speaker 2: we're not even thinking about thems giving a Christmas. A
- 15:28Speaker 2: lot of us already had conversations with our kids and

- 21:49Speaker 24: and forth literally what you guys just did, because you know,
- 21:51Speaker 24: they're going back and forth with the music. At one point, Bertman,
- 21:54Speaker 24: you know, stopped and remarting to remind the crowd before
- 21:56Speaker 24: he uh, you know, dropped his song that he started
- 21:59Speaker 24: starting Let's take a Let's.

- 22:28Speaker 8: just starting shot at the top.
- 22:31Speaker 6: Man said that.
- 22:31Speaker 5: I thought to myself, Oh, so you the problem. You
- 22:35Speaker 5: freeing all these people got tats on their face and
- 22:38Speaker 5: spending all their money on jury.
- 22:40Speaker 9: Well, they was having fun the whole time.
- 22:43Speaker 24: Like, yes, it was a lot of fun. And I
- 22:44Speaker 24: had a friend on the ground for us because I
- 22:46Speaker 24: wanted to know what the crowd was like. And he said,
- 22:48Speaker 24: even in the it was a party in the crowd,
- 22:50Speaker 24: like people going crazy. There were people there dressed in
- 22:52Speaker 24: the fatigue and so.
- 22:54Speaker 6: Then should have been in New Orleans, tho, Las Vegas.
- 22:58Speaker 6: Vegas did not deserve that.
- 23:00Speaker 9: But like the crowd wasn't its type because they didn't
- 23:03Speaker 9: really know most of the songs.
- 23:07Speaker 24: So he said it it was very I mean, we
- 23:09Speaker 24: kind of addressed this before it happened, though, he said
- 23:12Speaker 24: it was very obvious what songs people knew. So like
- 23:14Speaker 24: if back that you know a up comes, people are
- 23:17Speaker 24: throwing it over, I didn't know back that that's up
- 23:19Speaker 24: comes on, he said. People throwing it over, they dancing
- 23:21Speaker 24: with each other, songs that people knew, you really felt.
- 23:23Speaker 18: But yes, the age gap did matter a bit.
- 23:25Speaker 24: I think they tried to do the best they could
- 23:26Speaker 24: with the cameras as well, but he said that they
- 23:28Speaker 24: had a good time. Now Juvenile comes back in with
- 23:31Speaker 24: a project chick and no back track. The whole time,
- 23:35Speaker 24: Juvie is performing throughout the whole versus I say a
- 23:37Speaker 24: listening to Juvenile.
- 23:38Speaker 9: Yo, that's how he performs all the time. I did
- 23:40Speaker 9: a couple of shows with you now over the years,
- 23:42Speaker 9: Oh yeah, like he because you know they feared the
- 23:45Speaker 9: comedy shows with the hip hop or whatever. But like
- 23:48Speaker 9: you and nobody can out rap you. Juv still raped
- 23:51Speaker 9: like back in the days.
- 23:52Speaker 6: What it is when the music go off, He's still going.
- 23:54Speaker 9: But look, I want to mention even the entourage is
- 23:57Speaker 9: like behind him, a bunch of young niggas. Man, it
- 23:59Speaker 9: was just on on like texting like they could have
- 24:01Speaker 9: been hype. I'd have been putting everybody off the stage
- 24:04Speaker 9: that was not Jock Queeze was hype. You can't even
- 24:07Speaker 9: see him.
- 24:09Speaker 24: I saw Jock Queen's and Juvenile Sun. They were, you know,
- 24:12Speaker 24: they were hype on a no limit side. I feel
- 24:13Speaker 24: like they were all jumping and bouncing.
- 24:16Speaker 20: They were.
- 24:17Speaker 4: But I think what you said that like it was
- 24:19Speaker 4: like they was on the stage.
- 24:21Speaker 24: We're gonna have to bring this back in the next
- 24:23Speaker 24: hour because as they closed out the verses, Berdman gave
- 24:26Speaker 24: a speech of sorts that now Turk has responded to.
- 24:30Speaker 6: I don't care about the drama. Listen. It was too yet,
- 24:33Speaker 6: it was way too short.
- 24:35Speaker 18: Way to it was way too sure.
- 24:36Speaker 24: But before we get out of here, I wanted to
- 24:38Speaker 24: play me a X responding to uh project chick with
- 24:41Speaker 24: her with a free co because we didn't play any
- 24:43Speaker 24: of her.
- 24:47Speaker 3: She was at work.
- 24:48Speaker 5: They should have let me an ex get off. You
- 24:51Speaker 5: don't want to go to war with a soldier. That
- 24:52Speaker 5: would have been hard. They should have let her get off.
- 24:54Speaker 5: I'll take your man. That would have been hard me.
- 24:56Speaker 5: It was dope though me and because me always was
- 24:58Speaker 5: the show stealer, stealer with features. But they should have
- 25:01Speaker 5: let her get off. Those those two records.
- 25:03Speaker 24: I feel like a lot of people got to meet
- 25:04Speaker 24: her because of this versus. There was a lot of
- 25:07Speaker 24: people that didn't know how dope she was. I saw
- 25:10Speaker 24: Lebron post about her too. Yeah, like there was there
- 25:13Speaker 24: was a lot of people who got to meet her.
- 25:15Speaker 5: I remember when that whatever, that female list that came
- 25:18Speaker 5: out this year and I was like one of the
- 25:19Speaker 5: glaring omissions was me x and everybody was like I
- 25:22Speaker 5: was crazy too.
- 25:23Speaker 21: It was.
- 25:25Speaker 9: Now I know. Yeah, I was introduced to the verses.
- 25:30Speaker 3: How you ain't play about it, about it? You play,
- 25:33Speaker 3: you ain't playing about it.
- 25:33Speaker 24: But I was, look, we got to pick and choose
- 25:36Speaker 24: time here, we got more. We got ten audios a day.
- 25:38Speaker 24: It was a lot of music played at this versus
- 25:40Speaker 24: and it was too short.
- 25:41Speaker 3: It was Yeah, it got to the.
- 25:43Speaker 6: Point where they left on the table between both of them.
- 25:46Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah.
- 25:47Speaker 18: They could only play one verse from a certain from
- 25:50Speaker 18: certain songs.
- 25:50Speaker 9: That so it's rules with the verses like that, like
- 25:53Speaker 9: you you can only play well verse listen and yeah allowed.
- 25:58Speaker 18: I wonder why, I don't know.
- 26:00Speaker 24: I know that the clips had a performance after the
- 26:02Speaker 24: verses ended at Complex kind of my friends stay for
- 26:05Speaker 24: that as well, So I don't know if maybe they
- 26:06Speaker 24: were just trying to fit it into a certain time slide,
- 26:08Speaker 24: but if so, they probably should have let them close
- 26:10Speaker 24: out the night so they could have had a bit
- 26:12Speaker 24: more time because it was y'all feel like this was
- 26:14Speaker 24: first time.
- 26:17Speaker 26: It was.

- 26:20Speaker 5: you ain't get how you do that, you ain't get.

- 27:46Speaker 4: and this is the first time he worried.
- 27:48Speaker 5: Why, right, I just to understand why, Like you gotta
- 27:50Speaker 5: rep your team at all times. Like I saw a
- 27:52Speaker 5: guy yesterday wearing a Jets T shirt, and I felt
- 27:54Speaker 5: sorry for him, but I was still happy that he
- 27:56Speaker 5: was repping.
- 27:57Speaker 13: Yesterday, I had a Jets hoy on in the first half,
- 27:59Speaker 13: so bad a game was going on. I turned it
- 28:01Speaker 13: off out and that's a finably went my jersey.
- 28:06Speaker 4: Now tonight and Monday night football. The command to take
- 28:09Speaker 4: go on to chief said eight fifteen, what's.
- 28:11Speaker 15: Up, MEMI, Good morning, NB, Joss, Charlamagne, how y'all doing.
- 28:14Speaker 6: Let's Black and Holly Favorite? How you doing?
- 28:16Speaker 3: MEMI good?
- 28:16Speaker 25: Thank you?
- 28:17Speaker 14: All right, So this morning we start this hour with
- 28:20Speaker 14: developments of the hurricane Melissa, now a powerful Category five
- 28:24Speaker 14: storm packing winds of one hundred and sixty miles an hour. Now,
- 28:28Speaker 14: Melissa is expected to make landfall in Jamaica early Tuesday
- 28:32Speaker 14: before moving onward to Cuba and Jamaica. They are already
- 28:35Speaker 14: seeing heavy rainfall a tropical storm conditions, and forecasters worn
- 28:39Speaker 14: of catastrophic flooding, landslides, and destructive winds.
- 28:43Speaker 15: As the storm moves ashore.
- 28:45Speaker 14: Now, mandatory evacuations are underway in low lying areas. Airports
- 28:49Speaker 14: are closed and emergency shelters are open across the island.
- 28:53Speaker 14: The Cuba is also under hurricane warnings as officials there
- 28:56Speaker 14: braced for impact later late Tuesday, it has already taken
- 29:01Speaker 14: a tragic toll in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In Haiti,
- 29:05Speaker 14: landslides triggered by Melissa's rain have killed at least three
- 29:08Speaker 14: people and damage hundreds of homes, and then the Dominican Republic,
- 29:12Speaker 14: flooding has cut off water to more than a half
- 29:14Speaker 14: a million people and force evacuations as the storm barrels
- 29:18Speaker 14: through northern Caribbean.
- 29:20Speaker 15: So we'll continue to watch this, So sad man absolutely.
- 29:24Speaker 14: And moving back here at home in Pennsylvania, where what
- 29:28Speaker 14: was supposed to be a weekend of celebration turned into
- 29:31Speaker 14: tragedy at one of the nation's oldest HBCUs, authorities say
- 29:35Speaker 14: twenty five year old Juwan Jeffers of Delaware was killed
- 29:38Speaker 14: in a shooting on the campus of Lincoln University late
- 29:41Speaker 14: Saturday night. Six others, all between the ages of twenty
- 29:44Speaker 14: to twenty five, were wounded, but are expected to survive now.
- 29:48Speaker 14: The shooting broke out just after midnight during homecoming celebrations
- 29:52Speaker 14: outside their International Cultural Center. Chester County District officials say
- 29:57Speaker 14: the violence. They believe the violence was not planned, but
- 30:00Speaker 14: ugh it spontaneously. Let's listen to that.
- 30:02Speaker 27: Investigators now are operating under the strong belief that there
- 30:06Speaker 27: are multiple shooters at this event. We're operating under the
- 30:09Speaker 27: belief that the shooter or shooters in this case did
- 30:13Speaker 27: not come here with a specific design to cause a
- 30:16Speaker 27: mass casualty event. And so we're treating this as a
- 30:19Speaker 27: shooting that broke out in the middle of homecoming weekends.
- 30:23Speaker 14: Well, one man, yeah, it is one man's Aquias Thompson Morgan,
- 30:28Speaker 14: also from Delaware. He has been arrested and charged with
- 30:30Speaker 14: carrying a concealed firearm without a license. He's being held
- 30:33Speaker 14: on twenty five thousand dollars bail. Police haven't confirmed whether
- 30:37Speaker 14: his gun was used in the shooting.
- 30:38Speaker 26: Now.
- 30:38Speaker 18: Witnesses say it was.
- 30:39Speaker 14: A chaotic scene as crowd scattered in every direction. Let's
- 30:42Speaker 14: listen to that.
- 30:43Speaker 12: And then next thing you know, another stampede coming. But
- 30:46Speaker 12: it was just like run like it was like more
- 30:48Speaker 12: like you felt it in your spirit, like something was
- 30:52Speaker 12: not something was happening that wasn't good. So I started
- 30:56Speaker 12: running and then next thing I know, people getting shot
- 30:59Speaker 12: as soon as.
- 30:59Speaker 3: A long and I heard like five gunshots.
- 31:02Speaker 4: Bob foun this said somebody got shot in we heard
- 31:05Speaker 4: them in it.
- 31:05Speaker 16: Everybody just started running, you know how people are, like
- 31:07Speaker 16: as soon as you hear them, it's nothing to do
- 31:09Speaker 16: but think run.
- 31:10Speaker 4: So yeah, so sick.
- 31:12Speaker 14: You've ever been, Yeah, you've ever been to a homecoming celebration,
- 31:15Speaker 14: It's just like the crowds and just chaos, they said,
- 31:18Speaker 14: chaos erupted with people just running everywhere.
- 31:21Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 4: And like you said, if you've ever been a homecoming,
- 31:23Speaker 4: especially HBCU homecoming, that's one of the safest places to go.
- 31:26Speaker 3: There's never another reason to buy bring a weapon with you.
- 31:29Speaker 3: Like it's usual. It's always love.
- 31:31Speaker 4: It's always love and having a good time in celebrating
- 31:34Speaker 4: school and school spirit and just catching up with friends.
- 31:37Speaker 4: And sometimes homecomings don't just bring a lung. But it's
- 31:40Speaker 4: never a place to bring a weapon. I've never felt unsafe.
- 31:43Speaker 9: At a homecoming ever ever at all.
- 31:46Speaker 14: Well, officials are asking anyone with photos or videos to
- 31:49Speaker 14: contact the FBI tip line. Classes at Lincoln University they
- 31:53Speaker 14: have been suspended today and they say counseling services are
- 31:56Speaker 14: being offered. And meanwhile, just a few hours away in
- 31:59Speaker 14: DC and other shooting taking place near the campus of
- 32:02Speaker 14: Howard University. Police say five people were shot Friday night
- 32:06Speaker 14: near the campus. Police say none of the victims or
- 32:08Speaker 14: Howard students, although one did does attend Morgan State University.
- 32:12Speaker 14: Two suspects are in custody, but authorities haven't released their
- 32:15Speaker 14: names or said what led to that violence.
- 32:17Speaker 3: So that's crazy too.
- 32:18Speaker 4: Salute to anybody that went to a HBCU homecoming this weekend,
- 32:21Speaker 4: and condolences to anybody that lost somebody. Man, it's I
- 32:24Speaker 4: hate when you see something like a home coming in
- 32:26Speaker 4: and if you ever bring to an HBCU homecoming, you
- 32:28Speaker 4: know what that love is. You know what that love
- 32:30Speaker 4: feels like, whether it's a eighty year old alum to
- 32:33Speaker 4: a you know, a nineteen year old student, it's just
- 32:36Speaker 4: so much great vibes and great feeling like you never
- 32:39Speaker 4: want to.
- 32:40Speaker 14: See this, You never want to see that, absolutely envy.
- 32:42Speaker 14: You're right, all right, And so we talked about this
- 32:45Speaker 14: earlier last week. So while police pace together what happened
- 32:49Speaker 14: overseas are there overseas investigators are involving solving another type
- 32:54Speaker 14: of crime. I'm talking about the one that we talked
- 32:56Speaker 14: about with that jewel heights at the Louver Museum.
- 32:58Speaker 15: Well, this morning two men are under arrest.
- 33:01Speaker 14: French prosecutors say the suspects were taken into custody Saturday night.
- 33:05Speaker 15: One of them were caught trying to board a flight
- 33:07Speaker 15: to Algeria.
- 33:08Speaker 16: Now.
- 33:09Speaker 15: Both men are in their thirties, they were already known
- 33:11Speaker 15: to police.
- 33:12Speaker 14: Investigators say DNA evidence left at the scene helped identify
- 33:16Speaker 14: one of them. Officials having said whether any of the
- 33:18Speaker 14: stolen pieces worth an estimated one hundred and two million
- 33:22Speaker 14: dollars have been recovered, but we talked about this.
- 33:25Speaker 15: The heights took less than eight minutes. They use a crane,
- 33:28Speaker 15: They cut through.
- 33:29Speaker 14: Glass, smashed displayed cases, and escape with priceless crown jewels
- 33:33Speaker 14: linked to France's royal family and the Napoleon Empire. France
- 33:37Speaker 14: says that one hundred and more than one hundred investigators
- 33:40Speaker 14: are working on the case and they're trying to figure
- 33:42Speaker 14: out how they pulled off such a brazen attack. Experts
- 33:46Speaker 14: say that the jewels are historically priceless, but could still
- 33:49Speaker 14: fetch millions on the black market if broken apart.
- 33:53Speaker 15: Absolutely all right.
- 33:54Speaker 14: Well, Also, lastly, today is my son Landon's birthday. He
- 33:58Speaker 14: turns twelve, so I just want to wish him birthday, Lan.

- 36:48Speaker 5: How did y'all find that balance back in the day
- 36:50Speaker 5: between between being like sexy but strong but still streaked
- 36:53Speaker 5: with it?
- 36:54Speaker 6: Like, how did y'all find that balance?
- 36:55Speaker 9: It was just natural. That's just who we are growing
- 36:59Speaker 9: up Jersey, like how we were.
- 37:01Speaker 25: And that's what made us. To me, that's what made
- 37:04Speaker 25: us who we were.
- 37:05Speaker 28: Total the name started out as total opposites because we
- 37:08Speaker 28: were all individuals in our.
- 37:10Speaker 25: Own way, you know, So it was it wasn't like
- 37:13Speaker 25: you had to buy the brand we came as we were.
- 37:16Speaker 4: Yeah, And how was the bad Boy ever back then?
- 37:19Speaker 6: Growing up?
- 37:19Speaker 3: Right?
- 37:20Speaker 4: Because there was a time nineties two thousand it was
- 37:23Speaker 4: nothing but bad Boy in the radio, nothing but bad
- 37:25Speaker 4: Boy on the streets, mixtapes to clubs. How was that
- 37:29Speaker 4: era where it just it felt like anything y'all did
- 37:31Speaker 4: hit it was.
- 37:32Speaker 25: It's some beautiful things.
- 37:34Speaker 9: It was fun, it was.
- 37:36Speaker 18: That's what we learned a lot of our grind from
- 37:38Speaker 18: that whole era.
- 37:39Speaker 9: Grinding just out there. It was going to the like
- 37:43Speaker 9: it was just fun.
- 37:43Speaker 6: It was just like a big old party yep.
- 37:49Speaker 29: Us coming from Atlanta, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 37:52Speaker 29: it was a different it was like a different culture.
- 37:54Speaker 3: So you know, you know, you can't imagine how that felt.
- 37:56Speaker 29: He's coming out, I know, he's from the you know
- 37:59Speaker 29: what I'm saying, so coming to New York coach, you know,
- 38:03Speaker 29: so you know, but but it was so much fun
- 38:05Speaker 29: because it was just like, okay, clubs smaller, but you
- 38:08Speaker 29: know what i mean. But it was like in your face,
- 38:10Speaker 29: so you know what I'm saying. So, but we learned
- 38:13Speaker 29: a lot musically here, m hmm.
- 38:16Speaker 4: What about for you case? Now, you weren't on Bad Boy,
- 38:18Speaker 4: you were on Death Jama Jam. You a songwriter, you
- 38:21Speaker 4: had you have the I always say, you have that
- 38:22Speaker 4: one wedding song that you will get paid for for
- 38:24Speaker 4: the rest of your life happily ever.
- 38:26Speaker 3: After, Like.
- 38:29Speaker 4: That was that was coming up for you in that
- 38:31Speaker 4: and during that time, because at that time you were
- 38:33Speaker 4: death Jam. Death Jam was heavy cop and you was
- 38:36Speaker 4: probably one of the only R and B singers at
- 38:38Speaker 4: the time.
- 38:39Speaker 3: I mean it was.
- 38:39Speaker 11: It was cool for me, except for the only problem
- 38:42Speaker 11: what they was learning on the fly how to do
- 38:43Speaker 11: their own bat and so I get caught up in
- 38:45Speaker 11: that some time. But yeah, I mean, you know how
- 38:48Speaker 11: big they was then, so that part was cool. It
- 38:50Speaker 11: was just a lot of times they had a lot
- 38:52Speaker 11: of hip hop sensibilities because it hip hop labor. But
- 38:55Speaker 11: one of the things that helped me was that I
- 38:57Speaker 11: was the last artist that Russell personally signed to death Jam,
- 39:00Speaker 11: so I'd always call him and be like, yo, I
- 39:02Speaker 11: can snitch.
- 39:04Speaker 6: You know the record was gonna be so timeless, like
- 39:07Speaker 6: touch me, tease me happily ever aver.
- 39:09Speaker 11: I didn't know, But that's what I always wanted to do,
- 39:11Speaker 11: Like I never wanted to make like trendy stuff. I
- 39:14Speaker 11: always wanted to make music like my parents would listening
- 39:16Speaker 11: to stuff from like twenty thirty years earlier, and they
- 39:18Speaker 11: would have me doing it. And so my thing was like,
- 39:20Speaker 11: if I could do that, then I'd be happy and
- 39:22Speaker 11: then everything else will fall in line.
- 39:23Speaker 6: You worked with a Mary J, Beyonce Brown, who else?
- 39:30Speaker 4: There's a bunch of people ll ghost Face, ghost Face, Genuine, Tyrie, Genuine,
- 39:35Speaker 4: Terry Jam and Lewis. I felt like de f GM
- 39:38Speaker 4: didn't treat you like a regular artist, right with Total
- 39:42Speaker 4: in one twelve. I would see them out in the
- 39:44Speaker 4: club like bad Boy would have him out, Deaf Gym artists,
- 39:46Speaker 4: deaf GM would have them out. I didn't see you
- 39:49Speaker 4: def Gym put you out as much like that was
- 39:51Speaker 4: it because you didn't want.
- 39:52Speaker 6: To go out or I probably didn't know what to
- 39:53Speaker 6: do it because he was R and B.
- 39:54Speaker 4: I think a lot of it.
- 39:56Speaker 11: Yeah, First of all, I hate going out, okay, So
- 39:58Speaker 11: if I didn't have to be there, that's why you
- 40:00Speaker 11: always be like yo, you know stuff about you know
- 40:02Speaker 11: how to.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Be over here.
- 40:06Speaker 11: So I mean I wasn't really big on going out,
- 40:09Speaker 11: or when I did, it'd be I'd be somewhere else.
- 40:11Speaker 11: Unless I had to beat somewhere with them.
- 40:14Speaker 24: We got you, did you guys? Well, Mike, I saw
- 40:16Speaker 24: you say that you feel like you know you guys
- 40:19Speaker 24: first album. Without that, you don't think the R and
- 40:21Speaker 24: B would be as prevalent or as worldwide as it
- 40:23Speaker 24: is running.
- 40:24Speaker 19: So yeah, the mind frame was we started that whole trend.
- 40:27Speaker 19: It's like the way music sounds now. One twelve had
- 40:30Speaker 19: a lot to do with that because no one can
- 40:32Speaker 19: really give us a group that did it the way
- 40:36Speaker 19: that we did it before one twelve, Like as far
- 40:38Speaker 19: as singing over hip hop beats and stuff like that,
- 40:41Speaker 19: like you I challenged in, but find me a group
- 40:43Speaker 19: that did it because back then in the day, what
- 40:45Speaker 19: you had the A side and you had the B
- 40:46Speaker 19: side right, and then on the B side of the records, right,
- 40:48Speaker 19: they had the records, you had the uptempo record where
- 40:50Speaker 19: they were singing, but they were always it's all that
- 40:54Speaker 19: singing over uptempo beats and stuff. It was like it
- 40:57Speaker 19: was confusing.
- 40:58Speaker 6: Puff.
- 40:58Speaker 19: One one thing that Puff told us was like, like
- 41:00Speaker 19: when you're in the club, when you when you're recording
- 41:03Speaker 19: a record, right, sing the song as if you're in
- 41:06Speaker 19: the club drinking and you're trying to holler at the girl.
- 41:08Speaker 19: You ain't gonna be in this girl talking about Yeah
- 41:11Speaker 19: you're gonna go I want to be with you, you
- 41:17Speaker 19: know what I mean, It's gonna be something smoothing. So
- 41:19Speaker 19: when we wrote records, when we wrote the up Turboat records,
- 41:21Speaker 19: and then Slim having the voice being able to just
- 41:23Speaker 19: lay on the tracks the way that we did, like
- 41:25Speaker 19: that started an hole everwhere people now like when you
- 41:29Speaker 19: hear R and B it has a hip hop element
- 41:31Speaker 19: to it as well. It's not just R and B.
- 41:33Speaker 19: It's a hip hop element.
- 41:34Speaker 6: Isn't that a bad boy formula? Or wasn't that Diddy?
- 41:36Speaker 5: Like I feel like Diddy did that like with Jodysie.
- 41:39Speaker 5: I feel like he did that with Mary J Blige,
- 41:40Speaker 5: like he did that with Total.
- 41:42Speaker 6: I'll give you that.
- 41:42Speaker 19: I'll give you Mary j Blige because yeah, she she helped, uh,
- 41:46Speaker 19: because we always say that Mary is between Mary and
- 41:48Speaker 19: one twelve, but one twelve really and then yeah, puff,
- 41:50Speaker 19: did you know he did contribute because we came.
- 41:52Speaker 3: In with just and we aren't beat.
- 41:54Speaker 19: We aren't beat bro, like forget all that stuff, man
- 41:55Speaker 19: like hip hop that's gonna cheapen our sound and all
- 41:58Speaker 19: this sudden stuff, and he's had the vision was like, Yo,
- 42:01Speaker 19: this is what's going to separate y'all from the jew Hills,
- 42:03Speaker 19: from the Jaggets, from the you know, the Ajets and
- 42:06Speaker 19: all these other groups that were coming out at the
- 42:07Speaker 19: same time.
- 42:08Speaker 9: And you know what that that didn't make perfect sense,
- 42:10Speaker 9: right instead of all I would love you to come
- 42:12Speaker 9: up to me and let me tell.
- 42:14Speaker 16: You what.
- 42:20Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 42:20Speaker 9: That's exactly what it was.
- 42:23Speaker 19: Out of ten ain't gonna be able to sing. So
- 42:24Speaker 19: he's like, bro, all of that in my ear, Like
- 42:26Speaker 19: I don't want to hear all that. Yeah, you know,
- 42:27Speaker 19: so that.
- 42:28Speaker 5: You'll agree with Mike's assessment. Not to start any arguments here,
- 42:31Speaker 5: but in case, do you agree with that?
- 42:33Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it was, it was part of it.
- 42:35Speaker 11: I mean if that during that era, that's when hip
- 42:37Speaker 11: hop and R and B was, Yeah, so pretty much.
- 42:40Speaker 11: I feel like Bad Boy wasn't the Fifront.
- 42:42Speaker 4: Yeah definitely.
- 42:43Speaker 25: Yeah, total was hip hop with that touch of R
- 42:46Speaker 25: and B.
- 42:47Speaker 28: Your R and B group, but I think we were
- 42:49Speaker 28: more base hip hop with the touch of R and B.
- 42:51Speaker 28: And Mary definitely was the pioneer of that sound. When
- 42:54Speaker 28: Popp did the remixes, with Jodasy because Jodasy was just
- 42:57Speaker 28: the R and B and then he the hip hop ghost.
- 43:00Speaker 6: Facing Rayquon on the Freaking You remixed.
- 43:03Speaker 5: You know, like I can't even I don't want to hear.
- 43:05Speaker 5: Can't you see without Biggie part? Like I hated when
- 43:08Speaker 5: some of the urban stations back in the day didn't
- 43:10Speaker 5: play Raptords.
- 43:10Speaker 19: Just play.
- 43:11Speaker 12: I hated.
- 43:13Speaker 19: I was like, I would go before that's.
- 43:20Speaker 6: No fact, yes, because they didn't want a lot of
- 43:26Speaker 6: didn't play played Wow.
- 43:28Speaker 4: So how did y'all sign to Puff? What did y'all
- 43:30Speaker 4: met puffing? Puff was like, this is the group that
- 43:31Speaker 4: I want. How did that start?
- 43:32Speaker 9: Because the first time we met Puffy through Kathy Duke.
- 43:38Speaker 18: Huff is what's her son's is her son's godfather?
- 43:43Speaker 3: Kathy.
- 43:44Speaker 28: One day when when we were introduced to Kathy, Kathy
- 43:48Speaker 28: was like, I would love to represent y'all manage ours.
- 43:50Speaker 28: So were riding riding, Kathy was like, y'all gotta always
- 43:54Speaker 28: be ready, always be ready. So she pulls up, she
- 43:56Speaker 28: goes upstairs. She's like, I'll be right back. She comes
- 43:59Speaker 28: downstairs and she was like, Okay, I need y'all to
- 44:01Speaker 28: make up a song and put Puffy's name in it
- 44:03Speaker 28: at the time, Puffy's Puffy.
- 44:05Speaker 25: He's actually in the studio with Joe.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Tosy doing the remix.
- 44:08Speaker 28: So he comes downstairs, he introduces himself and then we
- 44:12Speaker 28: just start singing, but we're performing.
- 44:13Speaker 16: Yeah, we had them all backed up against the wall.
- 44:17Speaker 3: Yead his mouth open.
- 44:18Speaker 25: He was like, how do you Yes, our ages came upstairs.
- 44:25Speaker 28: We watched him, you know, direct Jo Tosy, and then
- 44:28Speaker 28: he asked us how well did we get along in
- 44:31Speaker 28: the studio, like if we had an argument, did we
- 44:33Speaker 28: get back in the studio?
- 44:34Speaker 6: And we were like yeah.
- 44:36Speaker 9: So he was like okay.
- 44:37Speaker 25: So he was like, yo, yah, y'all, y'all sound really good.
- 44:40Speaker 28: He was like, yo, I just encourage y'all to keep
- 44:42Speaker 28: doing what y'all doing, you know, don't let nobody break y'all.
- 44:45Speaker 16: Up.
- 44:45Speaker 28: Two o'clock that morning, he called Kathy. He was like,
- 44:47Speaker 28: don't take them nowhere on the signum.
- 44:50Speaker 4: What was the first song that y'all did? What was
- 44:51Speaker 4: the first thing y'all recorded?
- 44:53Speaker 28: Well, we recorded songs that never went anywhere because we're
- 44:57Speaker 28: just trying to find our sound.
- 44:58Speaker 6: But can't you no you Juicy Juicy was the first
- 45:02Speaker 6: record I bet ye.
- 45:03Speaker 16: The story behind how we wind up recording Juicy is
- 45:06Speaker 16: like Big was like our little big brother.
- 45:08Speaker 18: Like we were close with Big, so.
- 45:10Speaker 16: We would frequently be in New York hanging out in
- 45:13Speaker 16: the studio with him.
- 45:14Speaker 9: So he called this one day.
- 45:15Speaker 18: He was like, come to the city we was in.
- 45:17Speaker 16: He was in the studio. So we went to the
- 45:19Speaker 16: studio and he was playing Juicy. Keisha started humming something.
- 45:23Speaker 16: Big it was like, y'all should go in there and
- 45:24Speaker 16: put that down. So he, you know, just gave us
- 45:26Speaker 16: some words or whatever, and we went in there and
- 45:28Speaker 16: we put it down, and Puff had us come back
- 45:31Speaker 16: the next day and do the one More Chance songs.
- 45:33Speaker 9: So that's how it started.
- 45:39Speaker 7: Y I.
- 45:41Speaker 16: Original one more Chance, the one on the album is
- 45:44Speaker 16: different from.
- 45:44Speaker 3: The favorite with the voicemail in the front.
- 45:47Speaker 25: Yeah, we need to work on that Juicy.
- 45:49Speaker 18: Yeah, it says it now when you google it.
- 45:51Speaker 16: But I assume that it wasn't necessarily supposed to be
- 45:55Speaker 16: in a future for Biggie because it was his first
- 45:57Speaker 16: single and stuff like that.
- 45:58Speaker 25: So yeah, and we I don't think, you know, we
- 46:01Speaker 25: were new.
- 46:01Speaker 16: I don't think it was something that just happened, like
- 46:04Speaker 16: we was in the studio, we got in trouble. It
- 46:05Speaker 16: was our managers like, don't do that no more. But
- 46:08Speaker 16: I just think they didn't plan for it to be
- 46:11Speaker 16: Biggie's first album to have.
- 46:12Speaker 9: A feature on it.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Did y'all get right and cres for it?
- 46:14Speaker 14: No?
- 46:15Speaker 25: No, because Big wrote it.
- 46:17Speaker 5: I didn't know y'all was on Juicy al Woman and
- 46:20Speaker 5: we know those records. Chance Dirty version is like one
- 46:23Speaker 5: of my favorite records.
- 46:26Speaker 4: Wow, And can't you see why can't you see it
- 46:29Speaker 4: come together?
- 46:30Speaker 28: We just came to the studio and the track was
- 46:33Speaker 28: playing and we were like, oh snap. And then Terry Robinson, Terry.
- 46:39Speaker 25: Who was the group that Terry was the Girls.
- 46:42Speaker 28: Terry Robinson's so incredible as far as songwriting, and she came.
- 46:47Speaker 4: She was like, this is this is what it is?
- 46:49Speaker 25: Okay, verse, I like that verse?
- 46:51Speaker 3: You liked that verse?
- 46:52Speaker 9: Like that verse?
- 46:53Speaker 25: We went recorded it and.
- 46:55Speaker 21: It was what it was.
- 46:58Speaker 14: No.
- 46:59Speaker 25: Big wasn't on it.
- 47:00Speaker 9: He was a studio was in the studio and then
- 47:02Speaker 9: he came in and laid it down.
- 47:03Speaker 25: It's crazy.
- 47:05Speaker 3: Wow.
- 47:06Speaker 5: Did y'all enjoy the moment of the nineties, Because when
- 47:08Speaker 5: I look at y'all, it's like, y'all are like mythical
- 47:11Speaker 5: figures to me right, like you know what I'm saying,
- 47:13Speaker 5: because y'all define not just the genre, but like y'all
- 47:16Speaker 5: would have soundtrackted our lives.
- 47:18Speaker 6: Did y'all enjoy the moment?
- 47:20Speaker 9: Yes?
- 47:21Speaker 19: Yeah when they said was in the building.
- 47:32Speaker 4: When we were on a high.
- 47:33Speaker 28: I mean, you couldn't ask for a better label, you know,
- 47:36Speaker 28: in a place to be and especially like aspiring artists
- 47:39Speaker 28: when this is something that you dream of doing to
- 47:42Speaker 28: land on Babbel and I do. We remember the time
- 47:45Speaker 28: clearly when it bad boy was everywhere. It was nothing
- 47:49Speaker 28: to just walk in the club or walk anywhere and
- 47:52Speaker 28: just get that love, admiration and respect.
- 47:55Speaker 19: It was black world wearing black leather when you know
- 48:00Speaker 19: the headbands, everybody's doing him like we were.
- 48:03Speaker 6: It was.
- 48:03Speaker 19: It was deeper than the music.
- 48:04Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
- 48:05Speaker 25: It was.
- 48:08Speaker 6: It was.
- 48:09Speaker 25: It was a movement and we loved each other yeah, yeah,
- 48:13Speaker 25: and each other.
- 48:16Speaker 19: A lot of ways. How the record got together, Like
- 48:20Speaker 19: like we tell the story of how we we were
- 48:22Speaker 19: on Big. Like if you look at listen to Life
- 48:25Speaker 19: after Death right one twelve is all like big he
- 48:28Speaker 19: shouts us out throughout the whole album. That's because we
- 48:30Speaker 19: were in the in the studio with him. Like, so
- 48:32Speaker 19: daddy's house had the neve, the S s L and
- 48:35Speaker 19: the and the pre production room. Right, so twelve is
- 48:37Speaker 19: in the pre production room, Junior Mafia. Big is all
- 48:40Speaker 19: in the neve room. Seeds come out and says, yo,
- 48:45Speaker 19: big one, y'all.
- 48:46Speaker 3: So we go in there.
- 48:47Speaker 19: From here up, we smoked, right, so we can't see
- 48:50Speaker 19: what nobody did. So we feeled around. So Big is
- 48:54Speaker 19: just sitting there, right, and and we use this all that.
- 48:56Speaker 19: We use the word genius. We throw the word genius
- 48:57Speaker 19: out a lot, but this is true death condition to genius. Right,
- 49:01Speaker 19: So we're walking in Big CS. He said, Yo, what up?
- 49:05Speaker 6: And that's it?
- 49:06Speaker 19: He says, nothing else, right, So everybody else, Junior Mafia,
- 49:08Speaker 19: they moving around, everybody's laughing, everybody's smoking, having a good time,
- 49:11Speaker 19: everybody's drinking. You know, twelve we baked out our minds
- 49:14Speaker 19: because we don't smoke, you know, So we baked right.
- 49:18Speaker 19: So around two three hours later, Big it's like, yo,
- 49:21Speaker 19: I'm ready, and the engineers like ready for what? So
- 49:24Speaker 19: dude gets up going to the booth and does I
- 49:25Speaker 19: got a story to tell? One twelve CD blast Because
- 49:29Speaker 19: we were in the room with us. He's listening to
- 49:31Speaker 19: everybody's story and he's listening to Junior Mafia tell that story.
- 49:34Speaker 19: One twelve, tell that story. And then he goes in
- 49:37Speaker 19: that done write anything down? And that's what the genius. Like,
- 49:39Speaker 19: we saw that firsthand, Like this dude never wrote anything
- 49:43Speaker 19: him and Faith Faith, like Faith doesn't write anything down either,
- 49:46Speaker 19: Like so Faith, don't Faith don't write and share down
- 49:50Speaker 19: here Jesus. Yeah, Faith don't write anything down. We watched her, Dude,
- 49:52Speaker 19: you abandoned me. Love don't live where we was at
- 49:55Speaker 19: a what's the other studio?
- 49:57Speaker 7: Bro?
- 49:57Speaker 19: I forget what it's Uh, she was a hit factory
- 50:02Speaker 19: well doing that record with Mary J. Blid and she
- 50:06Speaker 19: she just went in there and just did the whole
- 50:07Speaker 19: thing without no like, yo, what the paper? She don't
- 50:10Speaker 19: need no paper market And then like.
- 50:13Speaker 18: It from life and.
- 50:16Speaker 19: Faith, the only two.
- 50:17Speaker 9: I've ever seen, I got a story to tell just
- 50:18Speaker 9: straight came the he went just hearing the story.
- 50:22Speaker 19: He's watching everybody tell their story, like.
- 50:24Speaker 6: And he justiated.
- 50:29Speaker 19: Say the hell out of that record.
- 50:31Speaker 6: Him and j Z the only people that do that.
- 50:33Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that.
- 50:39Speaker 9: Is a gift for sure.
- 50:41Speaker 5: Back in the day, it's like R and B used
- 50:42Speaker 5: to celebrate like love and heartbreak, but now like it
- 50:45Speaker 5: feels transactional.
- 50:47Speaker 6: What do y'all think made vulnerability cool?
- 50:49Speaker 29: Back then, it was just a time period where, you know,
- 50:51Speaker 29: where everything was going on in the world.
- 50:53Speaker 6: We used music as our getaway. It was our medicine,
- 50:57Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.
- 50:58Speaker 29: Anybody remember the nineties. We came to the club, and
- 51:01Speaker 29: we came anywhere. Everybody came to party to dance.
- 51:04Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
- 51:05Speaker 4: You know, now you're going you go into places.
- 51:07Speaker 29: I don't know how it is too much here in
- 51:09Speaker 29: New York as much, but I know in Atlanta everybody's
- 51:12Speaker 29: staring at each other everywhere on the phone, you know,
- 51:16Speaker 29: and it's like it's.
- 51:17Speaker 6: A different type of a feel.
- 51:19Speaker 4: So you know, so that's his homecoming if it's homecoming,
- 51:22Speaker 4: and okay, that's true, but regular clubs is. But even
- 51:27Speaker 4: when you say that, you know, the alumni, it's us
- 51:31Speaker 4: cranking it up, you know.
- 51:32Speaker 6: What I'm saying.
- 51:33Speaker 19: So you know, yeah, back then R and B was
- 51:36Speaker 19: kind of it was more hyperbolic, you know what I mean.
- 51:38Speaker 19: It was it was you know, good, damn well, we're
- 51:40Speaker 19: not climbing, no highest mountain swimming, no deeper sea, but
- 51:43Speaker 19: we gave you We're not doing all of that, but
- 51:49Speaker 19: we gave you the impression. We sung it and made
- 51:52Speaker 19: believe that that that was possible. Anything was possible. And nowadays, man,
- 51:56Speaker 19: it's just it's different.
- 51:58Speaker 25: The music is too, and we came from good music
- 52:00Speaker 25: from my parents.
- 52:02Speaker 3: That's what I'm about to say.
- 52:03Speaker 11: Yeah, I think the other thing that did it was
- 52:06Speaker 11: hip hop became more hyperbolic. Definitely a good word for that.
- 52:12Speaker 11: But when it merged with R and B so much,
- 52:14Speaker 11: it became not cool to have feelings. But I guess
- 52:17Speaker 11: that's how people felt. And then the strip cup club
- 52:19Speaker 11: culture got involved. When it's everything is that And I
- 52:22Speaker 11: always say that, like with everything that's going on in
- 52:24Speaker 11: the world and people's lives, you got to be able
- 52:27Speaker 11: to sing about something more than threesomes in the strip clubs,
- 52:29Speaker 11: something else going on, you know what I'm saying. And
- 52:31Speaker 11: nobody really does that. Well, I almost say nobody, but
- 52:34Speaker 11: a lot of the music does have that. No more,
- 52:35Speaker 11: they don't have the feelings that are having the vulnerability.
- 52:37Speaker 11: Like you said, it's all trying to be rappers, basically,
- 52:41Speaker 11: all the trying and a lot of that technology so.
- 52:45Speaker 5: Crazy because even the rappers back then, most of the
- 52:47Speaker 5: rappers back then, we loved him because they were vulnerable.
- 52:49Speaker 6: You love pot because he was vulnerable. You loved Big
- 52:51Speaker 6: he was vulnerable because vulnerable. How do y'all balance egos?
- 52:56Speaker 6: You know, you know, when you're dealing with three legendary
- 52:59Speaker 6: acts who all all had that individual moments, you know.
- 53:02Speaker 19: It's it's a respect level. Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 53:04Speaker 19: It's like because I'm I'm actually fans.
- 53:07Speaker 6: Yeah, actually.
- 53:10Speaker 19: I love that, and I know it sounds cliche whatever,
- 53:12Speaker 19: but it's the truth. And you know, we we so
- 53:15Speaker 19: often we don't tell the truth, you know, we getting
- 53:17Speaker 19: this type or form or whatever, but we are genuinely
- 53:20Speaker 19: like Total was our first pick to be on this.
- 53:23Speaker 19: Room one twelve tour case was our first pick to
- 53:25Speaker 19: be on this because in case his catalog, we just
- 53:28Speaker 19: spoke about his catalog ridiculous, Total ridiculous, one twelve ridiculous,
- 53:32Speaker 19: And we wanted to bring back that nineties nostalgia, you know,
- 53:35Speaker 19: and just bring back that whole era of I knew
- 53:37Speaker 19: where I was when I heard only you for the
- 53:39Speaker 19: first time, you know, I knew who I was when
- 53:41Speaker 19: I heard Cupid when I heard I'm missing you and
- 53:44Speaker 19: when I heard can't you see for the first time,
- 53:46Speaker 19: like I remember where I was when I heard these
- 53:48Speaker 19: used to be.
- 53:49Speaker 11: I think that ego is healthy on the tour, especially
- 53:57Speaker 11: like this, because you have to if you use it
- 54:00Speaker 11: the right way. Like for me, it's like, Okay, I'm
- 54:02Speaker 11: gonna try to kill everybody. They're gonna feel the same
- 54:04Speaker 11: with the fans, the one that wins, as opposed to
- 54:07Speaker 11: people who just go up there don't care, like I
- 54:09Speaker 11: just got to come from that.
- 54:10Speaker 25: You got, you got, we come from that came in
- 54:14Speaker 25: I tour and be like, well total twelve just killed ya.
- 54:20Speaker 6: That's how you gotta do it.
- 54:23Speaker 4: And that's that's the because the only people that win
- 54:25Speaker 4: is the fans.
- 54:26Speaker 3: Was that ever a low time for y'all?
- 54:28Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, it definitely was. I think for us, the
- 54:32Speaker 19: resurgence of the nineties, you know, was was something that
- 54:35Speaker 19: was what we appreciated more than anything, and that happened
- 54:37Speaker 19: about what maybe almost like six seven years ago. It
- 54:40Speaker 19: was like what the pandemic?
- 54:43Speaker 29: You didn't know when you didn't know what the state
- 54:47Speaker 29: of music and and how the industry and how we
- 54:49Speaker 29: were going to perform was going to be. Remember everybody
- 54:53Speaker 29: start experimenting with the whole you know, taping, you know,
- 54:57Speaker 29: and then the video. Yeah, I thought we were going
- 55:02Speaker 29: to just it's going to be that, you know, so
- 55:05Speaker 29: so much gratitude now to you know what I mean,
- 55:07Speaker 29: see it for where it is, and and we feel
- 55:10Speaker 29: like it's a blessing that of all the errors they
- 55:14Speaker 29: chose to pick, they picked the nineties, you know what
- 55:17Speaker 29: I'm saying.
- 55:18Speaker 6: So I would want to go back, just I really
- 55:21Speaker 6: want to experience it in New York, like.
- 55:25Speaker 9: Left at Me.
- 55:27Speaker 24: I think at that one time you left at Me.
- 55:30Speaker 24: I just feel like the time that you guys were
- 55:33Speaker 24: like like the top, it was such a good time.
- 55:36Speaker 24: Here it doesn't seem real, like when we hear the
- 55:38Speaker 24: stories or like listening to y'all talk about just walking
- 55:43Speaker 24: in the studio, Big Biggie's just there and like.
- 55:45Speaker 18: You know, I can't imagine I'm young and just being
- 55:49Speaker 18: like on top.
- 55:50Speaker 19: Yeah, like in that time, but you're working so hard
- 55:53Speaker 19: that you don't even realize it, you know what I mean,
- 55:55Speaker 19: Like you don't even realize what it took us to
- 55:57Speaker 19: step away from it, you know. And and okay, we
- 56:00Speaker 19: can use it as our downtime, you know, and say
- 56:02Speaker 19: that that was the time for us to go back
- 56:05Speaker 19: and look at it and say, man, we we did
- 56:07Speaker 19: more than just saying, you know, we contributed to a
- 56:10Speaker 19: culture like we we are part of history, you know. Yeah,
- 56:15Speaker 19: so that's that was amazing. It's looking at it now
- 56:18Speaker 19: being older, like you're looking at it now because my
- 56:20Speaker 19: kids now they're they're going back and they googling like Dad, y'all,
- 56:23Speaker 19: y'all the pieces of cream, the video. You know, my
- 56:30Speaker 19: kid no, because I don't go around I don't. I
- 56:31Speaker 19: don't go around here looking Michael. You know, I don't.
- 56:34Speaker 19: I don't do that. You know, like they just they
- 56:37Speaker 19: grew up as normal as I I hoped I could
- 56:40Speaker 19: because I could teach them to be because it's such
- 56:42Speaker 19: a mental strain that the industry takes, like it gives,
- 56:47Speaker 19: but it also takes. One of the things is, you know,
- 56:50Speaker 19: the lack of you know, the mental health that comes along,
- 56:55Speaker 19: you know what saying with that, well, because you're you're
- 56:57Speaker 19: inundated with all of this, you know, you have to
- 56:59Speaker 19: be perfect every time you see you're out, you all,
- 57:02Speaker 19: your face has always got to be right, your clothes
- 57:05Speaker 19: gotta always be right, or man, they don't fell out, bro.
- 57:08Speaker 6: Like I just came from to jail, you know.
- 57:10Speaker 4: Yeah, camera messed that up. The camera messed it up
- 57:14Speaker 4: because when like the reason I asked if he was
- 57:16Speaker 4: out is I would see everybody out right. I was
- 57:19Speaker 4: a kid growing up, so I would go to grands
- 57:21Speaker 4: toom and see y'all one hundred twenty fish, go to
- 57:23Speaker 4: the tunnel and see y'all in the tunnel of different things.
- 57:25Speaker 4: And there was no VIP area. That's what it does,
- 57:30Speaker 4: and it gave you a connection with the artist, but
- 57:32Speaker 4: there was no phone, there was no I'm taking a picture,
- 57:35Speaker 4: there was no the only thing that you would possibly
- 57:37Speaker 4: do if you want, and nobody want to look corny,
- 57:39Speaker 4: but you might ask for an autograph, but nobody wanted
- 57:41Speaker 4: to come in club and do that. So it gave
- 57:43Speaker 4: you the moment. And I feel like people are not
- 57:45Speaker 4: enjoying the moment, man.
- 57:49Speaker 28: And I'm like, I never went live ever went live
- 57:52Speaker 28: on Instagram, and I wasn't expecting this. Beyonce came out
- 57:57Speaker 28: and she just started speaking, I'm all live. I'm like,
- 58:00Speaker 28: I'm on live, y'all as b and she started speaking
- 58:03Speaker 28: and I started crying. I was not expecting. I was like, Okay, Gods,
- 58:06Speaker 28: I gotta go. Literally, I might have been filming for
- 58:08Speaker 28: like ten seconds. You gotta be in the moment because
- 58:11Speaker 28: it's an experience.
- 58:13Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 58:13Speaker 5: Watching it back, No, it's not. I want to ask
- 58:16Speaker 5: she and Keeme it back in the day. What made
- 58:19Speaker 5: y'all decide to go up to the radio station and press.
- 58:23Speaker 5: Wendy Williams like, what did she say to y'all that
- 58:26Speaker 5: that caused y'all said, you know, we gotta go see
- 58:28Speaker 5: her there? No, hell no, my time wait before my
- 58:32Speaker 5: time was the nineties, right, yeah, I think, yeah, out.
- 58:41Speaker 9: The window when the ones in the window, she just
- 58:45Speaker 9: you know.
- 58:45Speaker 25: And she was playing with our money.
- 58:47Speaker 18: She just was disrespectful.
- 58:49Speaker 28: Yeah, and we had already sent the warning and then
- 58:52Speaker 28: she just kept saying Like first Wendy was just like, oh,
- 58:55Speaker 28: we got something.
- 58:56Speaker 9: And then we came up.
- 58:58Speaker 25: We came up to the radio station, we saying. She
- 59:00Speaker 25: was like, oh, we sang a cappella.
- 59:01Speaker 28: She was like, oh, y'all can sing, And it was
- 59:03Speaker 28: that it was just like, oh, your jersey and I
- 59:05Speaker 28: hear that they can't pay rent and they can't pay
- 59:08Speaker 28: their rent and stuff, and we were like, you know what,
- 59:10Speaker 28: enough is enough because at that time that's all she
- 59:12Speaker 28: was doing. It's like, listen, you know, when we get
- 59:15Speaker 28: these opportunities as black artists, we got to uplift them
- 59:19Speaker 28: and talk optivity that they do right. Instead of you
- 59:24Speaker 28: give a moment a blitz of something that they did
- 59:26Speaker 28: positive and then something that happened negative.
- 59:28Speaker 25: You're playing that all day. So we were just like,
- 59:30Speaker 25: enough is enough. Kema was like puff, can we go
- 59:33Speaker 25: up there?
- 59:38Speaker 18: Because I didn't you know, I know politically we would
- 59:40Speaker 18: have been in trouble for me.
- 59:41Speaker 16: But he just went up there.
- 59:42Speaker 18: So we act permission and he didn't say down tired.
- 59:44Speaker 4: He was like go ahead. It was like with you,
- 59:49Speaker 4: what is that that you had to say?
- 59:51Speaker 25: And she was like what No, no, no, talk that
- 59:53Speaker 25: stuff right now.
- 59:54Speaker 28: And then her her husband at the time security, He
- 59:57Speaker 28: had said something to our security like come on, man,
- 59:59Speaker 28: come on, and she ran to the car.
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: She got in the car the.
- 1:00:04Speaker 25: Summer and then we never heard no more from her.
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: She just tells the story. You said, y'all sent her
- 1:00:10Speaker 6: a warner was you all want to sit the fish?
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: No, I don't really want you to.
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: Death chair Boss said that death fish in the mall.
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: Somebody said that with the fishes.
- 1:00:25Speaker 11: Yet he said that she said that I was Boston
- 1:00:28Speaker 11: Joss was.
- 1:00:31Speaker 20: Around that time.
- 1:00:32Speaker 11: It happened around the time when I just signed and
- 1:00:35Speaker 11: I just met her shout out there too. She passed
- 1:00:37Speaker 11: a few years ago. But yeah, I didn't even know
- 1:00:40Speaker 11: about that Wendy you used to. I can't say nothing
- 1:00:42Speaker 11: about Wendy because she would find out stuff about me,
- 1:00:45Speaker 11: but she never she would call me and be like,
- 1:00:46Speaker 11: look this was I'm hearing, and she would send me
- 1:00:50Speaker 11: the faxes. I don't know why she looked out for me.
- 1:00:52Speaker 11: I'm glad she did, because, uh, somebody somebody was dead
- 1:00:55Speaker 11: on No, not.
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: A crush on me, right, But the reason it's that
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: because y'all was able to pull up on people. Nowaday
- 1:01:03Speaker 5: people just be in a basement behind the computers talking.
- 1:01:08Speaker 19: That's the worst Internet.
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so many questions.

- 1:03:28Speaker 5: po don't like.
- 1:03:28Speaker 8: It with all the bush if you ain't with us.
- 1:03:34Speaker 18: Yeah, so that's how they close it out.
- 1:03:37Speaker 16: Now.
- 1:03:37Speaker 18: Turk has a sense responding.
- 1:03:39Speaker 24: And actually Turk was hosting a watch party for the
- 1:03:42Speaker 24: Versus in Houston and he was live on his YouTube channel,
- 1:03:44Speaker 24: and then he did a follow up video where he
- 1:03:46Speaker 24: was talking directly to Birdman.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to Turk, Birdman, I didn't think
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: you dissed me or none of that, but you did
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: put a ten on one with it. You know what
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: I'm saying. You said, we with you when we want.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: That's all the way, all the way wrong. Y'all can't
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: with me when y'all want. You know, y'all can with
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: the fans when y'all wont. Because at the end of
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: the day, y'all not stopping my bag. I can't control
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: what nobody else got going on, So I don't trip
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: about that. You ain't gonna see me going all nah,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: the fans not getting what they're supposed to have. If
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: it wasn't for the fans, none of us would be
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: who he is. You put the bag up, but it
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: wouldn't be no situation if it wasn't for us all
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: putting down and doing what we do as a whole.
- 1:04:31Speaker 6: Everybody contributed. I have accepted what it is. When you spoke,
- 1:04:35Speaker 6: you spoke for y'all.
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: Turk is absolutely correct, you know what I mean. What
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: Turk said is true. It's all about the fans and Turk.
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: You also said something like the reason Wayne wasn't there
- 1:04:44Speaker 5: was because Wayne said, if all of them aren't.
- 1:04:46Speaker 6: There, he's not coming.
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: Yeah, if that's the case.
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: Birdman should have swallowed his pride and let Turk be
- 1:04:51Speaker 5: there because nobody is bigger than the program. And a
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: lot of people were disappointed that Wayne wasn't there, and
- 1:04:55Speaker 5: I saw people criticizing Wayne for not being there. But
- 1:04:58Speaker 5: if Wayne is standing on the fact that I wasn't
- 1:05:00Speaker 5: there because it's not all of us there, I respect
- 1:05:03Speaker 5: it in Turks one hundred percent.
- 1:05:04Speaker 9: Right yeah.
- 1:05:05Speaker 24: And he also Turk also on this YouTube video talked
- 1:05:07Speaker 24: about the fact that because he had said in the
- 1:05:09Speaker 24: earlier lot, which is the one that you're talking about, Charlotte,
- 1:05:11Speaker 24: that he felt like no Limit won and people took
- 1:05:15Speaker 24: that as like shade, but the explains it here and
- 1:05:17Speaker 24: he says that he feels.
- 1:05:18Speaker 18: Like they won because of them being able to get together.
- 1:05:21Speaker 18: Let's sick listen.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: I feel like last night, Man, the fans lost. A
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: lot of people try to make things be about them.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: I read when the fans beat and keep your head up,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: do this, keep going, we rocking with youah dah day
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: that that mean a lot to me. I went dead
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: almost a decade in the penitential, and you.
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: Know who stood down with me.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: It was my wife and my fans. People got to understand, bro,
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: that if people lose, it's the fans.
- 1:05:48Speaker 16: Bro.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: I feel like no limit, no limit came and they
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: did what they needed to do for the fans, and
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: to me, that's why they win.
- 1:05:55Speaker 19: You know, they put their differences to the side for
- 1:05:57Speaker 19: the fans.
- 1:05:59Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:06:00Speaker 18: So I mean, look, hopefully maybe one day that'll happen.
- 1:06:03Speaker 24: They'll get it together, because when I did see them
- 1:06:05Speaker 24: in New Orleans and they were all together, it felt really,
- 1:06:07Speaker 24: really good and you could tell that they were all
- 1:06:09Speaker 24: happy to be together, including little Wayne.
- 1:06:12Speaker 11: So yes that if people forget, this is a celebration
- 1:06:14Speaker 11: of music versus it's a battle, but it's also a
- 1:06:17Speaker 11: celebration of music.
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: And I think I'm a fan. I would have loved
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: to see them all together and really performing all those
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: songs together.
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: But that's why Turk said that is true.
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: It's all about the fans, and that's that's why I
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: had three big questions for me from versus. Why was
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: it so short, right, because the fans definitely got jipped
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: from that only being ten rounds when it's usually twenty.
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: I want to know why I wasn't weighing there officially,
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: is what Turk said true?
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: Why wasn't in New Orleans.
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: Well, yeah, we know a co complex con wasn't in
- 1:06:44Speaker 6: New Orleans.
- 1:06:44Speaker 5: And you said it's a celebration of music, right, So
- 1:06:48Speaker 5: was not playing mister Coup's music intentional? Because Mimsical's music
- 1:06:51Speaker 5: was a big part of No Limit and if it's
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: just a celebration of music, we should be able.
- 1:06:54Speaker 6: To play it.
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: But he wasn't there to perform, right, you know, it
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: would have been odd just to play music. Kind of
- 1:06:58Speaker 4: when they they played a male's record and it was Yeah.
- 1:07:01Speaker 9: It was so weird.
- 1:07:02Speaker 18: It was crickets and people were like, what is happening
- 1:07:04Speaker 18: right now?
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: Probably because the mill didn't fit the vibe I'd played,
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: go DJ, I really that five better than a million and.
- 1:07:13Speaker 24: Many fresh could have rocked out with that a little
- 1:07:15Speaker 24: bit more, because it's like they played it and they
- 1:07:16Speaker 24: all just kind of took an intermission because they didn't
- 1:07:18Speaker 24: have any other choice but to.
- 1:07:19Speaker 18: But I'll get an answer to those questions as anything
- 1:07:23Speaker 18: Wayne is about.
- 1:07:24Speaker 24: And that's why to me, I'm like, man like people
- 1:07:26Speaker 24: would really they really want to see all y'all together.
- 1:07:29Speaker 24: It's it's like it's history. But also it does feel
- 1:07:31Speaker 24: like more of a celebration. When you see them all
- 1:07:32Speaker 24: uniting on stage together. As we rapped really quick, I
- 1:07:36Speaker 24: did want to shout out Brandy and Monica. They returned
- 1:07:39Speaker 24: back to Chicago, they were able to fully get through
- 1:07:41Speaker 24: the tour.
- 1:07:42Speaker 18: This time.
- 1:07:43Speaker 24: They brought Maya out on stage as well. Yeah, and
- 1:07:46Speaker 24: that was everywhere as well too. But we have Brandy
- 1:07:48Speaker 24: apologizing to the fans in Chicago for the last time
- 1:07:52Speaker 24: when she was you know, she had to leave the stage,
- 1:07:53Speaker 24: he said, listen.
- 1:07:59Speaker 9: Just wanted to.
- 1:08:04Speaker 8: I have to.
- 1:08:05Speaker 25: I wasn't looking well and I just I just lose

- 1:08:22Speaker 4: Was that a schedule stop or did they go back
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: because she left?
- 1:08:25Speaker 9: Think they went back right because they were done their shows,

- 1:08:37Speaker 24: show show. I thought it was a scheduled show, and
- 1:08:39Speaker 24: I know Maya coming out with a surprise, but I
- 1:08:42Speaker 24: thought that it was a scheduled show. I just thought
- 1:08:44Speaker 24: it was necess She took a moment, and you know,
- 1:08:46Speaker 24: Maya came out. We do have audio, but the crowd
- 1:08:48Speaker 24: is going so crazy you can barely hear Maya. I
- 1:08:52Speaker 24: mean we could play it, but I don't know how
- 1:08:53Speaker 24: well it's going to sound on their But yeah, there
- 1:08:55Speaker 24: was a big moment for them. So shout out to them,
- 1:08:57Speaker 24: you know, getting through this second stop and great to
- 1:08:59Speaker 24: see all of the you know people on stage this weekend.
- 1:09:01Speaker 9: And I grew up to yeah to Maya, the Brandy

- 1:09:15Speaker 5: You know, every day of our lives we say we
- 1:09:17Speaker 5: wish it would when it comes to our children, But
- 1:09:20Speaker 5: what happens when it actually does happen?
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: Is it worth it?
- 1:09:22Speaker 6: We'll discuss for after the hour.
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: With the donkey.

- 1:09:39Speaker 16: What the hell.
- 1:09:44Speaker 6: Some donkey today's just saw themselves?
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: Oh man, Charlotte, Man, who you give them?
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: Don real to do your man?
- 1:09:57Speaker 8: Wow?
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: Donkey to the day for Monday, October twenty seven, goes
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: the forty three year old David Scott Junior.
- 1:10:02Speaker 6: Now I get on this radio every day and tell
- 1:10:05Speaker 6: you all to do your jail math. Okay.
- 1:10:08Speaker 5: Your jail math is when you find yourself in a
- 1:10:10Speaker 5: situation and you have to calculate whether or not you
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: can afford to do whatever time you will have to
- 1:10:17Speaker 5: do if you react.
- 1:10:18Speaker 6: A certain way to such situation. Okay.
- 1:10:20Speaker 5: Everything has to be calculated, all right. The money you
- 1:10:23Speaker 5: will spend on bail if you even get one, The
- 1:10:25Speaker 5: money you will spend on a lawyer, Can you even
- 1:10:28Speaker 5: afford the time it will take to be arrested, process detained, etc.
- 1:10:33Speaker 6: Etc.
- 1:10:34Speaker 5: You have to make all these calculations in your head
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: before you make certain decisions. Now, some of us have
- 1:10:38Speaker 5: decided that if someone ever harms our kids in any way,
- 1:10:42Speaker 5: we go into jail.
- 1:10:43Speaker 6: And I too am in that number. Okay. But what
- 1:10:45Speaker 6: I need us parents to understand.
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: Is there is levels two reacting, Okay, is one before
- 1:10:52Speaker 5: you harm somebody being the highest. All right, our kids
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: are worth it all, but everything doesn't require you to
- 1:10:57Speaker 5: take it to one to Okay.
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: Case in point, the story of David Scott Jr. From
- 1:11:03Speaker 6: East Point, Michigan right.
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: He was arrested after he allegedly threatened to shoot up
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: in elementary school because they was playing in his child's face.
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go
- 1:11:15Speaker 5: to what's the day eighty c seven de traite for
- 1:11:17Speaker 5: the report.
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: Please.
- 1:11:18Speaker 30: Police say apparent at Pleasant View Elementary School got so
- 1:11:21Speaker 30: upset that his first grader didn't get snack time Wednesday
- 1:11:25Speaker 30: that he made threats to staff members during child pickup.
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: Who allegedly confronted the teacher and stated words to the
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: effect of I'll air this out and I'll.
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: Be back tomorrow.
- 1:11:36Speaker 30: That suspect, forty three year old David Scott Junior, shaking
- 1:11:39Speaker 30: his head at the allegations. In court Thursday for his arraignment.
- 1:11:43Speaker 30: He pleaded not guilty and his bond set at one
- 1:11:46Speaker 30: hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash surety due to a
- 1:11:49Speaker 30: criminal past. On Thursday, police added extra patrols to the
- 1:11:53Speaker 30: area and the school had only indoor recess as an
- 1:11:56Speaker 30: additional precaution. But that child's mother tells me there's more
- 1:12:00Speaker 30: to this story. Takeisha Walkin says their son has been
- 1:12:03Speaker 30: coming home from school hungry for weeks, overwhelmed by loud noises.
- 1:12:08Speaker 30: Sometimes he'll skip lunch, so snack time is sometimes the
- 1:12:11Speaker 30: only time he has to eat. So he's been coming
- 1:12:13Speaker 30: home hungry. But the school district told me there is
- 1:12:16Speaker 30: no official snack time. While the mother wasn't there at
- 1:12:20Speaker 30: pickup Wednesday, she does not believe the allegations against Scott Junior.
- 1:12:24Speaker 24: I mean, yes, we get upset his parents and certain
- 1:12:27Speaker 24: things could have been said, but I do not believe
- 1:12:29Speaker 24: that that came out of his mouth.
- 1:12:31Speaker 19: Guess what right I got this one?
- 1:12:35Speaker 6: Shut up?
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: No, okay, okay, it'll act like they don't be appropriating
- 1:12:42Speaker 5: our culture too.
- 1:12:42Speaker 6: You don't know as it is, Okay.
- 1:12:45Speaker 5: Now, I did look it up on Urban Dictionary, though, okay,
- 1:12:48Speaker 5: just to be sure, and Urban Dictionary says airs this
- 1:12:51Speaker 5: bitch out is a term used by gangsters are really
- 1:12:54Speaker 5: mad hood people with guns.
- 1:12:56Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:12:56Speaker 5: The example Urban Dictionary uses is jamal man f this,
- 1:13:01Speaker 5: I'm finsh ed this bitch out? Why Nita, damn you right,
- 1:13:06Speaker 5: let me grab my nine. It's safe to say that
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: Urban Dictionary is ran by people who wouldn't be considered urban.
- 1:13:11Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:13:12Speaker 5: By the way, I hate the term urban, but that
- 1:13:14Speaker 5: site is clearly not ran by anyone from coaching. Now
- 1:13:17Speaker 5: David Scott Junior is saying he didn't say this. Okay,
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: I don't know if he did or not, but whatever
- 1:13:22Speaker 5: he said was enough to get him arrested. And I
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: just want my brothers to know that we don't always
- 1:13:26Speaker 5: have to take it to him. Okay, whatever then it
- 1:13:29Speaker 5: may be. And I also understand that this is a
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: lot of us brothers first.
- 1:13:33Speaker 6: Time being fathers, and there is no manual for this thing.
- 1:13:36Speaker 5: But this is why smart people learn from their own mistakes,
- 1:13:38Speaker 5: and why people learn from the mistakes of others. We
- 1:13:40Speaker 5: must learn from David Scott Junior. Okay, you don't have
- 1:13:44Speaker 5: to threaten the teacher. You don't have to threaten to
- 1:13:47Speaker 5: shoot up the school, none of that. All right, Calmly, calmly,
- 1:13:50Speaker 5: request a meeting. Okay, request the meeting with the teacher,
- 1:13:54Speaker 5: our school administration to discuss your child not receiving a snack,
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: because when you're in this private setting, Okay, emotions are
- 1:14:01Speaker 5: less heightened.
- 1:14:02Speaker 6: The right the teacher in school can explain.
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: The snack policy are the fact that they may not
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: have a snack policy. Then both parties can find a solution.
- 1:14:10Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:14:10Speaker 5: This approach reduces conflict, it opens up communication, and it's
- 1:14:14Speaker 5: just always good to have a witness around so nobody
- 1:14:17Speaker 5: can say you said something you didn't.
- 1:14:19Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:14:20Speaker 5: Another thing you can do, just always feel free to
- 1:14:22Speaker 5: gather information, all right.
- 1:14:24Speaker 6: Policy review, all right, that is very important. Sometimes we
- 1:14:27Speaker 6: just assume wrongdoing.
- 1:14:29Speaker 5: But maybe David should have checked to see if the
- 1:14:31Speaker 5: school has an official snack policy, and then you would
- 1:14:34Speaker 5: know that this child isn't actually missing snack time. They
- 1:14:37Speaker 5: just don't, you know, have a snack policy. Okay, But
- 1:14:39Speaker 5: that's why you should always make a formal complaint. That's
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: another thing that you can do, all right, write or
- 1:14:45Speaker 5: submit a formal concern to the principal of school district.
- 1:14:48Speaker 5: All of these things are better than making alleged public threat. Okay,
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: because now you in jail, away from your child, and
- 1:14:58Speaker 5: now you got to fight a case. All right, I
- 1:15:00Speaker 5: need that could be going to your child's future, is
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: going to keeping you out of prison. This brother was
- 1:15:04Speaker 5: charged with possession of ammunition by a prohibited person.
- 1:15:07Speaker 6: Okay, that's a.
- 1:15:09Speaker 5: Five year felony, all right, our five thousand dollar find
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: He's also charged with an intentional threat to commit an
- 1:15:14Speaker 5: act of violence at a school. That's a misdemeanor one
- 1:15:16Speaker 5: thousand dollar find dis orderly I've seen conduct. And he's
- 1:15:20Speaker 5: an habitual offendom because this is his fourth offense. Three
- 1:15:23Speaker 5: previously committed crimes with drugs and weapons related and his
- 1:15:26Speaker 5: bond is one hundred.
- 1:15:28Speaker 6: And fifty thousand dollars.
- 1:15:30Speaker 5: Okay, so that's about fifteen thousand because you usually got
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: to pay ten percent.
- 1:15:34Speaker 8: Calculate your jail math.
- 1:15:35Speaker 5: People, calculate your jail math and always ask yourself.
- 1:15:40Speaker 6: Will it be worth it? Please give David Scott Jr.
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: The biggest he huff no game.
- 1:15:52Speaker 5: And this is also why you gotta, you know, be
- 1:15:54Speaker 5: like you know what, baby, you go down there and
- 1:15:56Speaker 5: handle it, because if I go down there and handle it,
- 1:15:58Speaker 5: I'm going to jail.
- 1:16:00Speaker 7: You know what.
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: I'm So you got to go turn to the baby
- 1:16:02Speaker 5: mama and say you go down there and handle it,
- 1:16:04Speaker 5: because if I go down there and handle it, I'm
- 1:16:06Speaker 5: going to jail.
- 1:16:07Speaker 6: Some people not lying when they say that, Okay.

- 1:16:28Speaker 3: That it is out? What prot was obvious?
- 1:16:32Speaker 9: Honestly, the whole story is the whole story. Yeah, yeah, Still,
- 1:16:37Speaker 9: we don't need to play.
- 1:16:38Speaker 4: Don't need to play, all right, all right, all right.
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: When we come back, Ryan Holiday will be joining us.
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: He has a new book, rights Shulo.
- 1:16:45Speaker 5: Yes man, Ryan Holiday one of my favorite authors. He

- 1:17:04Speaker 4: All right, don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Good morning.
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: Everybody is dj Envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: are the Breakfast Club Lawn. The Rolls is here as well.
- 1:17:18Speaker 4: We got a special guest in the building, one of
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: my favorite authors ever. Yes, a new book, Wisdom Takes Work, Learn, Apply, Repeat,
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, Ryan Holiday, welcome back, Thanks for having me.
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: How are you feeling this morning.
- 1:17:28Speaker 26: You're an awesome What book is this?
- 1:17:30Speaker 6: Number one?
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: Sixteen das fifth or six time he's been up here?
- 1:17:40Speaker 26: Very good to me.
- 1:17:41Speaker 6: Yeah, now I we like having you man.
- 1:17:43Speaker 5: The wisdom takes work, learn, apply, repleat, repeat, And in
- 1:17:47Speaker 5: the book you argue that wisdom is the virtue on
- 1:17:50Speaker 5: which all other virtues depend.
- 1:17:52Speaker 6: How did you arrive at that belief?
- 1:17:53Speaker 26: So the four virtues of Stoke Foster try to write
- 1:17:56Speaker 26: about our courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom. They're all separate,
- 1:18:01Speaker 26: but they're related in that, you know, wisdom tells us
- 1:18:05Speaker 26: when and how to apply the others. I think if
- 1:18:07Speaker 26: you doesn't matter you know how good your heart is,
- 1:18:10Speaker 26: if you don't have the wisdom the intelligence to know
- 1:18:14Speaker 26: how to bring it into the world. Or you know,
- 1:18:16Speaker 26: courage is important, but you could be courageous for something
- 1:18:20Speaker 26: real dumb. So wisdom is the sort of layer on
- 1:18:24Speaker 26: top that we have to apply to all other skills
- 1:18:27Speaker 26: and assets.
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: Well, it's one thing to do to research with their
- 1:18:29Speaker 5: specific moment in your life that made you realize it.
- 1:18:33Speaker 26: I think we've all met some smart people that do
- 1:18:35Speaker 26: dumb things, and I think we've all done dumb things,
- 1:18:38Speaker 26: and you look at you look at wisdom as being
- 1:18:41Speaker 26: the sort of the key to not just a successful life,
- 1:18:46Speaker 26: but a good life. Right you can you can be
- 1:18:49Speaker 26: really good at what you do and then you can
- 1:18:52Speaker 26: blow it all up, or you can be profoundly unhappy,
- 1:18:55Speaker 26: or you know how many smart people are lacking in
- 1:18:57Speaker 26: self awareness. So I just think wisdom is this a
- 1:19:00Speaker 26: piece that brings it all together. And I think I
- 1:19:03Speaker 26: think one of the problems is that we assume wisdom
- 1:19:06Speaker 26: is this thing that just happens right we go. Sure,
- 1:19:09Speaker 26: school is important, but you know, experience is important. You
- 1:19:12Speaker 26: know wisdom comes with age, not It's no guarantee. I've
- 1:19:16Speaker 26: met a lot of.
- 1:19:16Speaker 6: Dumb old people too.
- 1:19:18Speaker 5: Absolutely, I was always talking small people learn from the almostakes.
- 1:19:21Speaker 5: Wise people learn from mistakes of others. I completely agree
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: that wisdom is a lost art. I think you have
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: a lot of smart people. I don't think you have
- 1:19:27Speaker 5: a lot of wise people nowadays.
- 1:19:29Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, And I mean you need this not just
- 1:19:33Speaker 26: to be successful, as I was saying, but like, how
- 1:19:35Speaker 26: do you not fall for demagogues or how do you
- 1:19:38Speaker 26: not fall for scams? How do you rise above the noise?
- 1:19:42Speaker 26: How do you separate fact from fiction? Wisdom I think
- 1:19:45Speaker 26: is you know that there's this word discernment, right, the
- 1:19:48Speaker 26: art of discernment, Like how many people can really see
- 1:19:51Speaker 26: the difference between good and really good, you know, right
- 1:19:54Speaker 26: and almost right, truth and complete nonsense? That to me
- 1:19:57Speaker 26: is the missing skill of our time.
- 1:19:59Speaker 6: We doom, so back it.
- 1:20:01Speaker 29: Up, going we're doing?
- 1:20:02Speaker 6: Yes, we are no.
- 1:20:03Speaker 21: I think.
- 1:20:04Speaker 24: I think everybody eventually has something in their life that
- 1:20:07Speaker 24: wakes them up to that, whether it's at a different
- 1:20:09Speaker 24: like might be young, might be older, but you always
- 1:20:11Speaker 24: taught you always thought that like wisdom comes with age.
- 1:20:14Speaker 18: Yes that saying so you probably hate.
- 1:20:16Speaker 8: That, saying huh yeah.
- 1:20:18Speaker 26: Churchill was joking about this guy he didn't like, and
- 1:20:20Speaker 26: he said, uh that. Although he occasionally stumbled over the truth,
- 1:20:24Speaker 26: he quickly picked himself up and carried on as if
- 1:20:27Speaker 26: nothing had happened. Right, So people are I think life
- 1:20:30Speaker 26: is always teaching you, right, but you don't have to
- 1:20:33Speaker 26: hear it, and so life will sometimes whisper life. Life
- 1:20:37Speaker 26: will tell you nicely things that you need to know,
- 1:20:40Speaker 26: and then when we ignore that, it becomes louder and
- 1:20:44Speaker 26: louder and louder, until sometimes you know, you have to
- 1:20:47Speaker 26: learn from some kind of catastrophic failure or catastrophe. And
- 1:20:51Speaker 26: so you know your point that we can learn from
- 1:20:55Speaker 26: the experiences of others, that's the cheap, effective, efficient way
- 1:21:00Speaker 26: to do it, and then a lot of us go, no, no,
- 1:21:02Speaker 26: I'd rather figure it out on my own, and that
- 1:21:05Speaker 26: that costs not just them, but the people around them,
- 1:21:08Speaker 26: like the when we're late to learning lessons, that doesn't
- 1:21:11Speaker 26: just affect us, but that affects the people that work
- 1:21:13Speaker 26: for us, That affects our family, that affects the people
- 1:21:16Speaker 26: who you know, bear the consequences of that, you know,
- 1:21:20Speaker 26: painful lesson that we chose to learn the hard way.
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: I think wisdom has to come from age though sure, regardless,
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: I mean, regardless of what the part. You can meet
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: a stupid old person, yeah, but there is some wisdom
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: that comes from what they're doing, whether if they work
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: at a plant, whether they whatever they do at the house,
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: there is some type of wisdom that they can continue
- 1:21:39Speaker 4: on to give to somebody else.
- 1:21:40Speaker 26: Well, you know, the root of the word idiot is
- 1:21:43Speaker 26: somebody in ancient Greece who did not participate in public life.
- 1:21:48Speaker 26: So you know, you can read everything you want, and
- 1:21:51Speaker 26: you can read a lot, and that'll make you smarter
- 1:21:53Speaker 26: than the average person. But if you're not engaged and involved,
- 1:21:59Speaker 26: you're going to miss some things that you can only
- 1:22:01Speaker 26: learn from experience. You know, Da Vinci would sign his
- 1:22:05Speaker 26: letters a disciple of experience. You have to learn by doing.
- 1:22:10Speaker 26: You have to put yourself out there. And that's why
- 1:22:11Speaker 26: I say it's learn, applied, repeat, So you learn the
- 1:22:14Speaker 26: things you hear, the lessons you study, you go to school,
- 1:22:18Speaker 26: then you got to go out in the world and
- 1:22:21Speaker 26: you find that a lot of what you learn now
- 1:22:23Speaker 26: has to be applied, or a lot of what you
- 1:22:25Speaker 26: learned you didn't actually understand it. And then you repeat
- 1:22:29Speaker 26: that cycle over and over and over again each time
- 1:22:32Speaker 26: that that's a positive feedback loop that's making you smarter
- 1:22:35Speaker 26: and better.
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: And they talk about educational a lot of people. I'm
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: seeing this a lot more, more and more and more
- 1:22:40Speaker 4: that people are not necessarily wanting to go to college. Sure,
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: they feel like the education that they get in college
- 1:22:47Speaker 4: they can be taught more through life experiences. And they
- 1:22:51Speaker 4: feel like the wisdom that those professors have might be outdated.
- 1:22:55Speaker 4: Sure what they're teaching. What's your thoughts on that?
- 1:22:58Speaker 26: Well, Look, I'm a proud college so I'm all about it.
- 1:23:01Speaker 26: There is and always has been a difference between school
- 1:23:05Speaker 26: and education. So I think the problem is if you
- 1:23:08Speaker 26: don't know what you're trying to do, how do you
- 1:23:11Speaker 26: know what the best form of schooling or education is
- 1:23:14Speaker 26: for you.
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: I said that all the time.
- 1:23:16Speaker 11: By the way, I think it's stupid that we force
- 1:23:19Speaker 11: kids to get out of high school to say, go
- 1:23:20Speaker 11: to college and.
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: Pick a major immediately when they don't necessarily know what
- 1:23:23Speaker 4: they want to do. If you know what you want
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: to do, that's great. But there's been times where kids
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: would like, I don't know, Like, don't make me pick
- 1:23:29Speaker 4: a major and make me take these courses if I
- 1:23:31Speaker 4: don't necessarily know what I want to do in life.
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: And that's the way when we live in a world
- 1:23:35Speaker 5: where we're kind of preparing for a future that won't
- 1:23:37Speaker 5: even exist for the AI going to be having other
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: jobs anyway.
- 1:23:40Speaker 26: Well, look, spending a couple hundred thousand dollars over four
- 1:23:43Speaker 26: years is an expensive way to figure out what you
- 1:23:46Speaker 26: want to do, absolutely, especially if at the end of
- 1:23:48Speaker 26: it you find out that what you want to do
- 1:23:50Speaker 26: is something that didn't require college for me. I met
- 1:23:55Speaker 26: Robert Green, our mutual friend and then I realized that's
- 1:23:58Speaker 26: what I wanted to do. And then I said, well,
- 1:24:00Speaker 26: am I going to keep going to college or am
- 1:24:02Speaker 26: I going to go directly learn from the person who's
- 1:24:05Speaker 26: done it. So I'm a big believer in apprenticeships and mentorships.
- 1:24:09Speaker 26: You got to find your teachers. Sometimes those are college professors,
- 1:24:13Speaker 26: sometimes their business executives, sometimes their you know, your neighbor
- 1:24:18Speaker 26: down the street. But you got to find who can
- 1:24:20Speaker 26: teach you how to do what you want to do.
- 1:24:23Speaker 5: And when when you started off as an apprentice with
- 1:24:25Speaker 5: Robert Green, one of the first things he puts you
- 1:24:27Speaker 5: on with forty a power.
- 1:24:28Speaker 26: No, I've worked on the fiftieth Law. Fiftie Like the
- 1:24:31Speaker 26: first thing I did was transcribe before in a world
- 1:24:34Speaker 26: before AI. I transcribed hours and hours of interviews between
- 1:24:38Speaker 26: him and fifty and so that was part of my
- 1:24:41Speaker 26: education is just listening, not just listening to it, but
- 1:24:43Speaker 26: having to painstakingly type it all out. And so I
- 1:24:46Speaker 26: got this masterclass and not just you know how he worked,
- 1:24:49Speaker 26: but all the people around him. But what I was
- 1:24:51Speaker 26: actually learning was like how you put a book together?
- 1:24:54Speaker 26: And Robert showed me how to research a book and
- 1:24:56Speaker 26: how to write and then how to operate in the industry.
- 1:24:58Speaker 26: You want to find the people who are further ahead
- 1:25:01Speaker 26: in what you want to do and do it. Although,
- 1:25:03Speaker 26: to be fair, like in college, I think one of
- 1:25:06Speaker 26: the most professors are professionals in what they do. They're
- 1:25:09Speaker 26: not just teachers, They're researchers, they're experts, they're you know,
- 1:25:14Speaker 26: they had a previous experience where they did the thing.
- 1:25:17Speaker 26: And you know, every every week they have office hours
- 1:25:19Speaker 26: where they have to sit there and meet with the
- 1:25:22Speaker 26: students and nobody comes.
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: So I thought.
- 1:25:25Speaker 26: The crazy thing for me is like I didn't go
- 1:25:27Speaker 26: into the library at my college until after I dropped
- 1:25:30Speaker 26: out and I was writing my first book because I
- 1:25:33Speaker 26: was like, oh wait, this is an incredible free resource
- 1:25:36Speaker 26: that I was too busy, you know, doing the college
- 1:25:38Speaker 26: kid thing to take advantage of. So all this stuff
- 1:25:41Speaker 26: is there, it's just you got to be self directed
- 1:25:44Speaker 26: and self motivated.
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: Well, another claim you make in the book, you say,
- 1:25:46Speaker 5: cultivating wisdom requires mental struggle and there's no shortcut for that.
- 1:25:50Speaker 6: So what does mental struggle look like from a practical sense.
- 1:25:54Speaker 26: Well, look, like books are basically free, you know, you
- 1:25:58Speaker 26: can get them from the library. The amount of wisdom
- 1:26:02Speaker 26: in a book is incredibly cheap, but it still takes work.
- 1:26:07Speaker 26: You got to wrestle with the book. You gotta read it,
- 1:26:09Speaker 26: you got to put the time in. It's not just
- 1:26:13Speaker 26: the struggle to you know, make the time to do
- 1:26:15Speaker 26: the work, to read, to go to class, whatever. But
- 1:26:17Speaker 26: then it's also wrestling with big questions like if you
- 1:26:20Speaker 26: think life is black and white, if you think it's easy,
- 1:26:23Speaker 26: if you think everyone is trying to tell you the
- 1:26:26Speaker 26: truth all the time, I think again, you're going to
- 1:26:28Speaker 26: find yourself pretty vulnerable. So it is struggle. It's a
- 1:26:31Speaker 26: it's a battle. It's a battle against ignorance, it's a
- 1:26:33Speaker 26: battle against misinformation, it's a it's a battle against your
- 1:26:37Speaker 26: your own biases. I think one of the things the
- 1:26:38Speaker 26: stoics remind us is that, like your mind is not
- 1:26:41Speaker 26: always your friend. We all have prejudices, we all have biases,
- 1:26:44Speaker 26: we all have mental shortcuts that we do that that
- 1:26:49Speaker 26: prevent ego being another one that gets in the way
- 1:26:53Speaker 26: of us learning and seeing what we need to see.
- 1:26:56Speaker 26: So you've got to struggle against your yourself too.
- 1:27:00Speaker 24: X With your books, it seems like your target or
- 1:27:04Speaker 24: your goal is to allow people to think freely, but
- 1:27:07Speaker 24: like have an educated like base that they're pulling from. Yeah,
- 1:27:10Speaker 24: how hard is it be coming for you to go
- 1:27:11Speaker 24: around teaching all of this in this like time with
- 1:27:14Speaker 24: this administration. I saw the thing that happened with you
- 1:27:16Speaker 24: at the Naval base and canceling your lecture that you do.
- 1:27:18Speaker 26: Yeah, I've been doing a series of lectures at the
- 1:27:21Speaker 26: Naval Academy on the Cardinal virtue for the last four years,
- 1:27:23Speaker 26: and the last one was canceled. I was supposed to
- 1:27:25Speaker 26: lecture about wisdom, and I was going to talk about
- 1:27:27Speaker 26: Admiral James Stockdale was a famous graduate there who famously
- 1:27:31Speaker 26: took a course on Marxism at Stanford before he was
- 1:27:36Speaker 26: shot down in Vietnam and sent to a Marxist prison.
- 1:27:40Speaker 26: And the idea is, like, you want to learn from
- 1:27:42Speaker 26: the enemy, You want to understand what they think, or
- 1:27:46Speaker 26: else you're vulnerable to brainwashing and propaganda. Actually, Seneca, the
- 1:27:50Speaker 26: Stoke philosopher, said this. He said, we want to study
- 1:27:53Speaker 26: like a spy in the enemy's camp. So I was
- 1:27:56Speaker 26: supposed to give this lecture, and like a couple weeks
- 1:27:58Speaker 26: before I went, started removing books from the library at
- 1:28:03Speaker 26: orders of the Secretary of Defense and the President because
- 1:28:06Speaker 26: they were too woke or pro DEI and I own
- 1:28:11Speaker 26: a bookstore. I can't get up there and give a
- 1:28:13Speaker 26: lecture about wisdom as they're literally removing books from a
- 1:28:18Speaker 26: library as so I was going to mention it, and
- 1:28:21Speaker 26: they found out, and they said, look, if you got
- 1:28:24Speaker 26: to remove those slides and you can't come talk here. Hey,
- 1:28:28Speaker 26: And this is one of the elite universities in this country.
- 1:28:30Speaker 26: These are people who someday are going to be piloting
- 1:28:33Speaker 26: fighter jets or aircraft carriers or nuclear submarines like these
- 1:28:36Speaker 26: are these cannot be sensitive little snowflakes, or we're in
- 1:28:39Speaker 26: big trouble.
- 1:28:39Speaker 6: These are people who.
- 1:28:40Speaker 26: Are gonna not just have to make highly complex technical decisions,
- 1:28:44Speaker 26: but profoundly ethical and moral questions. And yet here we
- 1:28:48Speaker 26: are protecting them, not just from from from you know,
- 1:28:52Speaker 26: protect potentially political books. But Maya Angelou's Memoirs was one
- 1:28:56Speaker 26: of the books that they that they removed, probably because
- 1:29:00Speaker 26: no one in excess office has read it, knows anything
- 1:29:04Speaker 26: about it. Probably chat GPT told him it was a
- 1:29:06Speaker 26: woke book, so we wanted to remove it. So I
- 1:29:09Speaker 26: felt I couldn't do that. And that's by the way
- 1:29:10Speaker 26: where all the virtues are interrelated, because it's not just
- 1:29:13Speaker 26: knowing that that book banning is stupid and reckless and dangerous.
- 1:29:18Speaker 26: But then I have to decide, you know, do I
- 1:29:21Speaker 26: want to preserve my access or do I want to
- 1:29:24Speaker 26: say what I think is true? And also do you
- 1:29:27Speaker 26: want the you know, Secretary of Defense to be mad
- 1:29:30Speaker 26: at you. That's where courage comes in, but then also justice, like, hey,
- 1:29:33Speaker 26: it's the right thing, so you do the right thing.
- 1:29:36Speaker 26: But yeah, we are we are in a dangerous moment.
- 1:29:39Speaker 26: Do you know the word cacistocracy? So like oligarchy, democracy,
- 1:29:45Speaker 26: different types of governmental system, cacistocracy is government by the stupidest.
- 1:29:50Speaker 26: And that's what we are facing in this moment. People
- 1:29:52Speaker 26: who are who are not just not smart, but actively
- 1:29:58Speaker 26: afraid of and angry at and resentful of people who
- 1:30:03Speaker 26: have competence and knowledge because they're fundamentally threatened by it.
- 1:30:08Speaker 6: So we have to replace the term idiocracy.
- 1:30:10Speaker 26: Then, yeah, I mean idiocracy. It's a similar way to
- 1:30:12Speaker 26: say the same thing. Okay, But I mean I don't
- 1:30:15Speaker 26: think the American people are that stupid. I think we
- 1:30:18Speaker 26: are in a moment where we have elected a number
- 1:30:22Speaker 26: of officials who are actively stupid and deliberately ignorant.
- 1:30:27Speaker 5: And what you said is interesting. You said they're resentful
- 1:30:30Speaker 5: of people who are smart, And to me, I'm like,
- 1:30:33Speaker 5: I don't think they don't. I don't think they believe
- 1:30:34Speaker 5: anybody's actually smarter than him.
- 1:30:36Speaker 26: There's a hilarious list of all the people that Trump
- 1:30:40Speaker 26: has said he is smarter than and it's like basically
- 1:30:42Speaker 26: everyone that's ever existed.
- 1:30:44Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's this idea that.
- 1:30:46Speaker 26: Like, my feelings are more true or stronger than your expertise.
- 1:30:53Speaker 26: So it's this antipathy towards expertise, credentialism and look like
- 1:30:57Speaker 26: the experts are wrong all the time. I'm not saying
- 1:30:59Speaker 26: that flawless, but but like you don't want to be
- 1:31:03Speaker 26: driving the smartest, most qualified, most experienced people out of
- 1:31:08Speaker 26: the armedforces, out of the government, out of business. And
- 1:31:12Speaker 26: that's the sort of bent that we're on. It's going
- 1:31:15Speaker 26: to end very very badly.
- 1:31:16Speaker 5: Oh listen, I want to ask you about that, distant
- 1:31:18Speaker 5: if do you think the political climate made them feel
- 1:31:21Speaker 5: that way, Because for the last ten years, all the
- 1:31:24Speaker 5: political pundits and the strategist they've just been wrong.
- 1:31:27Speaker 26: They have been wrong, like and that that you know,
- 1:31:30Speaker 26: this idea of negative capability. Negative capability is the idea
- 1:31:33Speaker 26: can you can you hold two opposing ideas in your head. So,
- 1:31:37Speaker 26: on the one hand, the experts are wrong a lot.
- 1:31:41Speaker 26: On the other hand, expertise is still really important. So
- 1:31:44Speaker 26: you can't throw the baby out with the bath art.
- 1:31:46Speaker 26: So you got to go, hey, why were the experts
- 1:31:48Speaker 26: wrong about this, that or the other. What biases or
- 1:31:53Speaker 26: tendencies do they have that you've got to protect against?
- 1:31:56Speaker 26: And at the same time, you got to elect qualified people.
- 1:31:59Speaker 26: You don't go, so, hey, that guy talks about the
- 1:32:03Speaker 26: military on Fox News on the weekends. Let's put him
- 1:32:06Speaker 26: in charge of the most powerful military in the world.
- 1:32:09Speaker 26: I mean, he's not even qualified to be the spokesperson
- 1:32:12Speaker 26: for the Pentagon, let alone running the Pentagon. And so
- 1:32:15Speaker 26: you got to go, hey, here's what I believe, here's
- 1:32:18Speaker 26: what I think is important. And then still respect, you know, wisdom, intelligence, credentials, experience.
- 1:32:26Speaker 5: I want to ask you, what role is listening more
- 1:32:28Speaker 5: than talking play When you're in like a culturally diverse setting,
- 1:32:32Speaker 5: or when you're sitting with somebody with a different ideology
- 1:32:35Speaker 5: and you're listening to them.
- 1:32:37Speaker 6: Yeah, but at some point you might be like, what
- 1:32:39Speaker 6: else wrong with some bullet you just keep listening to
- 1:32:41Speaker 6: you in a.
- 1:32:42Speaker 26: Jagular But that is that idea of negative capability is
- 1:32:45Speaker 26: like realizing, for instance, I have to think about this
- 1:32:47Speaker 26: with my kids. My kids are never wrong about their
- 1:32:51Speaker 26: feelings because they're their feelings. Now I might feel differently,
- 1:32:57Speaker 26: it might not change. Hey, you got to go to school,
- 1:33:00Speaker 26: you got to do X, Y or Z. But like
- 1:33:03Speaker 26: your opinion is your opinion. And so I think what
- 1:33:06Speaker 26: strong people are able to do, resilient people are able
- 1:33:09Speaker 26: to do, wise people are able to do is understand
- 1:33:12Speaker 26: that people feel differently about different things, have different opinions
- 1:33:16Speaker 26: about different things, and to be interested and curious about
- 1:33:20Speaker 26: that without necessarily changing your mind all the time. So
- 1:33:26Speaker 26: I think diversity is strength in the sense that you
- 1:33:29Speaker 26: want to bring as many different opinions and viewpoints and
- 1:33:34Speaker 26: worldviews into the equation. But at the end of the day,
- 1:33:36Speaker 26: you do have to decide what you think, what you feel,
- 1:33:39Speaker 26: what you're going to do. Especially in a position of leadership,
- 1:33:43Speaker 26: the leader ultimately has to listen to everyone and then
- 1:33:46Speaker 26: make and own the decision what.
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: It is based on what their opinions are based off of,
- 1:33:50Speaker 4: meaning your opinion or how you're feeling could be a
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: certain way, yep, but if it's based off with some
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: bulls that's not true, then you're feeling is kind of wrong.
- 1:33:59Speaker 26: And I think that's our album with Expertise is people
- 1:34:01Speaker 26: are like, well, but I don't want that to be true,
- 1:34:03Speaker 26: and it's like, okay, that's great and I respect that
- 1:34:07Speaker 26: you don't like it, but it is what it is.
- 1:34:10Speaker 4: Well Ryan, Holiday, ladies and gentlemen. New book Wisdom takes work, Learn, apply, reply, repeat.
- 1:34:14Speaker 4: It's available right now, and thank you for joining us.
- 1:34:17Speaker 6: Always a pleasure when you pull up right you're the best.
- 1:34:19Speaker 6: Thank you time bringing some chocolate milk from a brown cow.
- 1:34:22Speaker 26: I do have a brown cow. It does not make
- 1:34:24Speaker 26: chocolate milk.
- 1:34:25Speaker 4: It's the Breakfast Love, Good Morning, the Breakfast Club. Lauren
- 1:34:31Speaker 4: be coming straight fast.
- 1:34:34Speaker 8: She gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail.
- 1:34:37Speaker 18: I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
- 1:34:40Speaker 6: She'd be having the latest on you.
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: It's the latest with Lauren la Rosa.
- 1:34:45Speaker 6: Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
- 1:34:48Speaker 6: have a little bit of everything.
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: On the Breakfast Club.
- 1:34:53Speaker 24: Okay, so before we get into more news, I wanted
- 1:34:56Speaker 24: to go back to our Brandy Monica. Just to answer
- 1:34:58Speaker 24: your question about whether it was an added date because
- 1:35:01Speaker 24: of what happened with Brandy. So I spoke to a
- 1:35:03Speaker 24: black promoter's collective, who are the promoters around this tour,
- 1:35:06Speaker 24: and they said that it wasn't added because of what
- 1:35:07Speaker 24: happened with Brandy. It was already added prior to Brandy
- 1:35:11Speaker 24: in that first tour stop and her not being able
- 1:35:12Speaker 24: to finish because of the demand there. Yeah, because of
- 1:35:15Speaker 24: the demand there, they added that, and they added a
- 1:35:17Speaker 24: few other dates in other places as well as well
- 1:35:19Speaker 24: too because of the demand. And I did ask them
- 1:35:22Speaker 24: because when Monica performed no Monica, Maya performed yesterday, there
- 1:35:26Speaker 24: was such a huge response to it. Of course, anytime
- 1:35:30Speaker 24: you see miamniwhere but people want her as a part
- 1:35:32Speaker 24: of the tour. And you know they yes, I asked,
- 1:35:35Speaker 24: you know, were their conversations on that now? Because Money Long,
- 1:35:38Speaker 24: which is who Maya stepped up for, put mention that
- 1:35:41Speaker 24: she had pneumonia, which is why she had to step away.
- 1:35:43Speaker 24: So I was wondering if there was going to be
- 1:35:45Speaker 24: more dates where we could see Maya And they say,
- 1:35:47Speaker 24: as of right now, no. They go back on stage
- 1:35:49Speaker 24: on the twenty ninth and Detroit, And as of right now,
- 1:35:51Speaker 24: Money Long is supposed to be well and be there.
- 1:35:54Speaker 18: But if not, you know, it's not off the table.
- 1:35:56Speaker 24: And the people love Maya and they say they felt
- 1:35:58Speaker 24: the response and they hear the fans.
- 1:36:00Speaker 5: That's not fair to comparing money along the Maya though.
- 1:36:02Speaker 5: And the reason I say it's not fair is because
- 1:36:04Speaker 5: you already have a nostalgic tour, right because you've got Monica,
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: you got Brandy, you got Kelly Rolers. So the people
- 1:36:09Speaker 5: that are coming there are probably people that are into
- 1:36:12Speaker 5: that nostalgia that era, and when you put Maya on
- 1:36:15Speaker 5: there over Money Long, of course they're gonna vibrate with Maya.
- 1:36:18Speaker 6: Yes more I feel like too.
- 1:36:20Speaker 24: There was conversations because Coco Jones is on this tour
- 1:36:22Speaker 24: as well too, and she has been doing Yeah, she's
- 1:36:25Speaker 24: been doing she's only on certain dates. She's been doing
- 1:36:27Speaker 24: a great job on the dates where she showed up.
- 1:36:30Speaker 24: But they were having, you know, the conversations around that too,
- 1:36:33Speaker 24: like why do we have to get the R and
- 1:36:35Speaker 24: B singers from various times? Why not just everybody from
- 1:36:39Speaker 24: one era? And it's like you kind of you want
- 1:36:41Speaker 24: to do that because you want to, you know, build
- 1:36:43Speaker 24: out a full show and have openers and all the things,
- 1:36:45Speaker 24: but you know it's kind of you can't compare it
- 1:36:47Speaker 24: to so you gotta let the younger girls get on
- 1:36:49Speaker 24: stage and you know put in their work as well too.
- 1:36:51Speaker 18: So again, I just want to answer that question for you.
- 1:36:53Speaker 9: Thanks.
- 1:36:54Speaker 24: Now, in other news, we should have this in now,
- 1:36:59Speaker 24: Kamala Harris is talking about whether or not she will
- 1:37:02Speaker 24: be running for president again, and surprisingly she gave us
- 1:37:06Speaker 24: a positive update.
- 1:37:07Speaker 18: Let's say a listen, because of.
- 1:37:08Speaker 7: Your baby nieces, Amara and Leela, when are they going
- 1:37:11Speaker 7: to see a woman in charge in the White House
- 1:37:13Speaker 7: in their lifetime?
- 1:37:14Speaker 16: For sure?
- 1:37:15Speaker 9: Could it be you?
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: Possibly?
- 1:37:16Speaker 7: Have you made a decision yet? No, I have not,
- 1:37:19Speaker 7: But you say in your book I'm not done.
- 1:37:22Speaker 19: That is correct.
- 1:37:23Speaker 10: I am not done. I have lived my entire career
- 1:37:26Speaker 10: a life of service and it's in my bones and
- 1:37:30Speaker 10: there are many ways to serve. I've not decided yet
- 1:37:33Speaker 10: what I will do in the future beyond what I
- 1:37:36Speaker 10: am doing right now, but.
- 1:37:37Speaker 7: You've been very clear that it's a possibility you might
- 1:37:39Speaker 7: run again to become president. And in my experience interviewing politicians,
- 1:37:43Speaker 7: when someone says I'm not done. It means they are
- 1:37:45Speaker 7: thinking seriously about running.
- 1:37:46Speaker 3: But when you look at the bookies' odds, they put
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: you as.
- 1:37:49Speaker 7: An outsider, even behind Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Is that
- 1:37:53Speaker 7: underestimating you?
- 1:37:55Speaker 10: I say, there are all kinds of polls that will
- 1:37:57Speaker 10: tell you a variety of things. I've never listened to polls.

- 1:38:58Speaker 16: Yes.
- 1:38:59Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:38:59Speaker 24: So this was Kamala speaking with BBC and the reason,
- 1:39:02Speaker 24: I mean, it's Kamala Harris of course going to pick
- 1:39:04Speaker 24: up but people are picking this up as her strongest
- 1:39:06Speaker 24: answer to date on whether she won her president or
- 1:39:08Speaker 24: not because of the possibly So there is that, but
- 1:39:12Speaker 24: she said she not done exactly. Now in other news,
- 1:39:15Speaker 24: I'm gonna take it back to the HBCU homecoming vibes,
- 1:39:18Speaker 24: and we know I saw Kamala Harris too posted over
- 1:39:20Speaker 24: the weekend and shout with out Howard University where she
- 1:39:23Speaker 24: was a student because of the homecoming feeling. Now, ari
- 1:39:27Speaker 24: Ari Fletcher, who is money Bag Yell's girlfriend and influencer online,
- 1:39:32Speaker 24: she posted something that started a conversation. She says, why
- 1:39:35Speaker 24: are grown adults at college homecoming?
- 1:39:37Speaker 9: Is that normal?
- 1:39:38Speaker 24: I'm genuinely asking because I didn't go to a big
- 1:39:40Speaker 24: college that did stuff like that. But it seems so
- 1:39:42Speaker 24: off I thought that was for the kids in school.
- 1:39:45Speaker 18: I thought that was an event for the kids in school.
- 1:39:48Speaker 24: So she doesn't understand why alumnis attend homecoming.
- 1:39:52Speaker 5: You know, it could be interesting about that if she
- 1:39:54Speaker 5: would have just left it at Is that normal? Let
- 1:39:56Speaker 5: somebody answer as opposed to giving her opinion.
- 1:40:00Speaker 8: I'm genuinely asked.
- 1:40:01Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:40:02Speaker 18: So yeah, yeah, Well people were very offended and she
- 1:40:05Speaker 18: came back and.
- 1:40:05Speaker 6: Signed it, and I know they went crazy on Facebook.
- 1:40:09Speaker 24: I was like, you probably was on the yard stepping
- 1:40:15Speaker 24: to some money back, ye know, just because Yeah, so
- 1:40:18Speaker 24: she had to come back and say y'all offended because
- 1:40:19Speaker 24: I made y'all feel old.
- 1:40:20Speaker 18: I was just asking big and mad literally.
- 1:40:23Speaker 24: So yeah, people got upset because her, Like, first of all,
- 1:40:25Speaker 24: we can we're allowed to be here age wise. Is
- 1:40:27Speaker 24: nothing unnormal about that? And secondly, if you don't know,
- 1:40:30Speaker 24: you should ask somebody before you put that out there.
- 1:40:32Speaker 4: People are just they were mad because she sounds crazy,
- 1:40:34Speaker 4: not because they're old. And she's ever been to a homecoming.
- 1:40:37Speaker 4: I'm sure she's been booked for a lot of them.
- 1:40:38Speaker 4: There's so many different age groups when it comes to homecoming,
- 1:40:41Speaker 4: and like me, and Charlemaine was saying behind the scenes,
- 1:40:44Speaker 4: the reason a lot of these schools are open, a
- 1:40:46Speaker 4: reason a lot of these students get scholarships because depending
- 1:40:54Speaker 4: their dudes, they making sure that those schools stay afloat.
- 1:40:56Speaker 4: So but that is a lot of the reason why
- 1:40:58Speaker 4: even even though and Il deals a lot of these
- 1:41:00Speaker 4: HBCUs but players are able to get some money.
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: That is the reason why.
- 1:41:03Speaker 9: But I will say, you know, she's the events that
- 1:41:08Speaker 9: she hosts during homecoming, if any at all would be
- 1:41:11Speaker 9: for the Yonder crowd, that.
- 1:41:13Speaker 6: She would not be.
- 1:41:14Speaker 9: Yeah, that's probably why she probably.
- 1:41:16Speaker 4: Pays for alumni, probably pays.
- 1:41:18Speaker 24: Right, which is something that she needs to be a
- 1:41:20Speaker 24: learning lesson. Though not in even a negative way. I
- 1:41:23Speaker 24: think that HBCU culture college campus culture is unless you
- 1:41:26Speaker 24: experience it, you don't know everything.
- 1:41:28Speaker 11: There's nothing wrong with her, It's just not HBCU culture.
- 1:41:31Speaker 11: This is all colleges and most.
- 1:41:32Speaker 4: You could talk Harvard, you could talk Saint John's. It
- 1:41:35Speaker 4: doesn't matter. The alumni is usually what funds that school
- 1:41:37Speaker 4: to stay afloat.
- 1:41:38Speaker 24: Well, area will be back on the campus and she
- 1:41:41Speaker 24: will now understand when she sees that, you know, like.
- 1:41:45Speaker 5: That the alumni events look like they be more fire.
- 1:41:47Speaker 5: But I'm forty sevens and don't listen to me. But
- 1:41:49Speaker 5: the alumni events look like they be more fire any God.
- 1:41:52Speaker 18: Damn, such a great time.
- 1:41:53Speaker 9: They dress up. They get it man, that the seasoned
- 1:41:57Speaker 9: women be dropping in low.
- 1:41:58Speaker 18: Yeah, you can tell us the one that prairie and
- 1:42:01Speaker 18: this is looking beautiful. Let mean okay. Envy took me

- 1:46:49Speaker 5: got a new book out with them, Taste, Work, Learn, Apply, Repeat,
- 1:46:53Speaker 5: And I want to say one of the quotes from
- 1:46:55Speaker 5: the book because I love this quote. The good thing
- 1:46:58Speaker 5: about not being an expert about something is that it's
- 1:47:01Speaker 5: a solvable problem. But ignorance, if you choose, can be
- 1:47:05Speaker 5: a temporary state. Okay, expertise is merely a function of
- 1:47:08Speaker 5: your interests, your teachers, and your drives. So basically what
- 1:47:11Speaker 5: he's saying is there's nothing that you cannot learn, So ignorance,
- 1:47:15Speaker 5: if you choose, can be a temporary state.
- 1:47:18Speaker 6: Have a great day, breakfast club, bitches, you gonna finished
- 1:47:21Speaker 6: or y'all done.
