- 1:24Speaker 1: he was very polite. Kodak is Kodak is a Kodak
- 1:28Speaker 1: is a good, good person. I believe he's just young man.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Young people make mistakes, as we all did when we
- 1:33Speaker 1: were young. And imagine having access to all of that
- 1:36Speaker 1: money and all of those resources and everything else at
- 1:38Speaker 1: that age. You know, since he was seventeen, he hasn't
- 1:41Speaker 1: been out of jail for one consecutive year, Like he's
- 1:44Speaker 1: been in and out, in and out since he was
- 1:45Speaker 1: seventeen and before that, Julie and all kinds of you know,
- 1:48Speaker 1: you got to think about all the trauma that people
- 1:51Speaker 1: go through, and the guards beating him up in jail
- 1:53Speaker 1: and everything that happened. But he's gonna get really in
- 1:56Speaker 1: depth about a lot of those things. And that's why
- 1:58Speaker 1: I've committed my life to him helping helping, you know,
- 2:01Speaker 1: people in general, hill with especially young black men, because
- 2:04Speaker 1: if we don't break them generational curses, who will absolutely. Yeah,
- 2:08Speaker 1: it's some parts in there that I thought, like, oh, man,
- 2:11Speaker 1: you might want to cry. Man. We've been passing trauma
- 2:13Speaker 1: off his culture for so damn long. But this is
- 2:17Speaker 1: the first generation I feel that has the luxury of
- 2:19Speaker 1: actually healing, so we'll be okay. But yes, it was
- 2:22Speaker 1: a whirlwind of days for me, and then and then
- 2:25Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club went viral yesterday, but we'll talk about
- 2:27Speaker 1: that later. For Envy and be calling Kanye clown like

- 2:50Speaker 1: And I said, Kanye was here energy people, the team
- 2:53Speaker 1: ID a zillion one conversation, but you can't ever have
- 2:56Speaker 1: the real conversation because what what what? That is what
- 2:59Speaker 1: your statements were rooted and we would never be able
- 3:02Speaker 1: to share because it's not our story to tell, correct,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So if if people knew,
- 3:07Speaker 1: if people knew, they would understand why you said what
- 3:09Speaker 1: you said. But I choose to send him healing energy. Okay, Yeah,

- 4:32Speaker 1: people who makes things happen behind the scene for a
- 4:34Speaker 1: long time, even before running Comb's Entertainment. So I can
- 4:39Speaker 1: wait a few guys to hear that. But let's get
- 4:40Speaker 1: the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well,
- 4:42Speaker 1: the last US military planes have left Afghanistan, so that
- 4:46Speaker 1: is America's longest war twenty years. And will tell you
- 4:50Speaker 1: what that's like and what Joe Biden had to say.
- 4:52Speaker 1: He also is going to be speaking today about that.
- 4:54Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Good morning, Da Da van Van. As much as we
- 5:06Speaker 1: played his record field on the Worst Men of the Morning,
- 5:08Speaker 1: everybody is dj Envy Angel Ye Charlomine the guy. We
- 5:12Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Where were starting you, Well, the last US military planes
- 5:18Speaker 1: have left Afghanistan, and here is General Frank Mackenzie, who
- 5:22Speaker 1: is the commander of US Central Command, speaking at the
- 5:25Speaker 1: Pentagon about not getting everyone out even though the last
- 5:29Speaker 1: planes have left. Look, there's a lot of hard break
- 5:31Speaker 1: associated with this departure. We did not get everybody out
- 5:34Speaker 1: that we wanted to get out, But I think if
- 5:36Speaker 1: would stayed another ten days, Louis, we wouldn't have gotten
- 5:38Speaker 1: everybody out that we wanted to get out, and there
- 5:40Speaker 1: still would have been people who would have been disappointed
- 5:42Speaker 1: with that. It's a tough situation, but I want to
- 5:44Speaker 1: emphasize again that simply because we have left, that doesn't
- 5:49Speaker 1: mean the opportunities for both Americans that are in Afghanistan
- 5:52Speaker 1: that want to leave and Afghans who want to leave,
- 5:55Speaker 1: they will not be denied that opportunity. I think our
- 5:57Speaker 1: Department of State is going to work that very hard.
- 5:59Speaker 1: In the days when we said I hope they really
- 6:01Speaker 1: got everybody out, I pretty nobody misdual slice. Well, they
- 6:04Speaker 1: said there's a small number of Americans in the two hundred,
- 6:06Speaker 1: and they said it's like the number that's closer to
- 6:08Speaker 1: one hundred Americans who remain in Afghanistan and went to leave.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Now they still I thought they had to be out
- 6:14Speaker 1: about the thirty first. I mean, they were trying to
- 6:16Speaker 1: get everybody out. I don't know why there's still some
- 6:18Speaker 1: people that haven't been able to get there. They said
- 6:20Speaker 1: the last five flights didn't even have any US citizens
- 6:23Speaker 1: on there. Let me find out, America Book, Spirit Airlines
- 6:26Speaker 1: Flace you shot up all right. In addition to that,
- 6:29Speaker 1: he also talked about the threat of terror. Now, how
- 6:33Speaker 1: high is that? The terry threat is going to be
- 6:35Speaker 1: very high. But I think what we'll do is we
- 6:37Speaker 1: will work with the Taliban and work with the next
- 6:40Speaker 1: government of Afghanistan, Afghanistan, whatever his characterization is going to be,
- 6:44Speaker 1: in order to ensure that our citizens are protected and
- 6:47Speaker 1: that they have an opportunity to leave. As you know,
- 6:50Speaker 1: we still hold a variety of significant leverage over whatever
- 6:54Speaker 1: future government exists in Cobble, and I have no doubt
- 6:57Speaker 1: that the Department of State will fully exercise that leverage
- 7:00Speaker 1: if you have any confident in their ability to secure
- 7:02Speaker 1: the city. Right now, the Taliban, I think they're going
- 7:04Speaker 1: to be challenged to secure the city. Yeah, I'm on
- 7:06Speaker 1: high alert, you know, the next couple of weeks because
- 7:08Speaker 1: it's the twenty year anniversary in nine to eleven in
- 7:10Speaker 1: America is very vulnerable right now. You just never know
- 7:13Speaker 1: if they wanted to do something, this would be a
- 7:16Speaker 1: good opportunity for them, right And video from Kabo Airport
- 7:19Speaker 1: does show that they were celebrating. The Taliban was celebrating
- 7:23Speaker 1: and saying this victory belongs to us all and congratulating
- 7:26Speaker 1: the people of Afghanistan. So they're looking at this as
- 7:29Speaker 1: a victory a war that lasted almost twenty years. I
- 7:32Speaker 1: mean it is the ops is gone. The ops fled
- 7:35Speaker 1: the scene. So yeah, and what did so he said
- 7:37Speaker 1: they're going to actually talk to the leader of the Taliban,
- 7:39Speaker 1: but they said they have to engage, and so it's
- 7:43Speaker 1: no way around engaging to have to deal with them.
- 7:46Speaker 1: And you know, isis K is like the Taliban is
- 7:49Speaker 1: saying that they're not the way that they used to be,
- 7:52Speaker 1: the draconian measures that they used to take. But a
- 7:54Speaker 1: lot of people are on high alert that things are
- 7:56Speaker 1: going to revert back to what it used to be
- 7:58Speaker 1: like before because they're supposed to be a lot more
- 8:00Speaker 1: moderate now. But isis K is not supposedly part of
- 8:03Speaker 1: the Taliband. It's a terror group. Oh for the record,
- 8:07Speaker 1: that's what Trump is doing. And he got flat for it.
- 8:10Speaker 1: All right, Well, that is agotiating with him, trying to
- 8:12Speaker 1: make a deal. Front page news, all right, get it

- 13:22Speaker 1: understand how you feel about Kanye, all right, But I
- 13:26Speaker 1: had a whole discussion on YouTube with a couple of
- 13:28Speaker 1: y'all followers letting them know I don't know what y'all
- 13:31Speaker 1: were expecting out It is Kanye album. Kanye is the
- 13:35Speaker 1: street he doing. I g models him right, excuse me,
- 13:40Speaker 1: see to god, I gotta quote you. You said that
- 13:42Speaker 1: you are free hid rappers in their age. That rap
- 13:45Speaker 1: about real life stuck. This man was depressed. This man
- 13:49Speaker 1: was broken. This man chose to express his read through
- 13:53Speaker 1: his musical masterpiece. I love the album and I'm a
- 13:55Speaker 1: huge Kanye fan. I'm four eleven, but I'm six eight
- 13:58Speaker 1: for Kanye. Oh. I mean, that's why my music is subjective.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I'm not late. Music made you fail away because you
- 14:05Speaker 1: could relate to it exactly. And I feel like Djay envied, Okay,
- 14:09Speaker 1: your job is a dj T how to let the
- 14:11Speaker 1: music speak. I understand that you got be And as
- 14:14Speaker 1: a Kanye fan, I do not agree with everything my
- 14:17Speaker 1: man does, but that album, I feel like that album,
- 14:21Speaker 1: with his vulnerability, we saw him go through all this
- 14:23Speaker 1: stuff with Danza dying and just falling out in the media.
- 14:27Speaker 1: I think you should give it a chance. Don't call
- 14:29Speaker 1: him in a clown. This was him showing his emotions
- 14:32Speaker 1: about his mom. Come on, man, you die, give it
- 14:35Speaker 1: a chance. I was ready to fund you. Let your
- 14:37Speaker 1: car show down to mine. You can come and see me.
- 14:41Speaker 1: We could have a conversation. But I don't. I don't
- 14:44Speaker 1: think it is Kanye's music is clownish. I just think
- 14:46Speaker 1: him as a person in what he does behind the
- 14:48Speaker 1: scenes is clownish. I never I never disrespect that man's music.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I mean, I actually love Kanye's music, So it has
- 14:54Speaker 1: nothing to do with Kanye as an artist. It has
- 14:56Speaker 1: to do with Kanye as a person. But listen, that's
- 14:59Speaker 1: like like Black. My daughter loves Kodak. Okay, y'all were
- 15:03Speaker 1: just talking about him. I'm not a huge Kodek band.
- 15:05Speaker 1: A lot of stuff you do, I can't agree with.
- 15:07Speaker 1: My daughter loves this music. Girl, that's fine. But I
- 15:10Speaker 1: understand that code. It does make good music regardless of
- 15:13Speaker 1: this antic. You gotta you gotta let the music feat.
- 15:16Speaker 1: You gotta give it a chance. Don't don't shelve it
- 15:19Speaker 1: just because you don't. I'm listen. I'm listening to the
- 15:22Speaker 1: whole album. I think, and I listen just personally, I
- 15:24Speaker 1: think the album is kind of lackluster. He got some
- 15:26Speaker 1: joints on there. I really like though, Like I love
- 15:28Speaker 1: to join with Kanye and Westside, I love to join
- 15:31Speaker 1: with the Locks and Jail Electronica. I love to join
- 15:33Speaker 1: it with Roddy Rich. But I mean it just I
- 15:35Speaker 1: don't know. It's our Forty some minutes is a long
- 15:38Speaker 1: time to me. A good album an album if you like,
- 15:43Speaker 1: like six or seven songs on this album, I feel
- 15:45Speaker 1: like that makes it a good album. Now in the
- 15:48Speaker 1: hours an hour, forty minutes. Yeah, but I do feel
- 15:51Speaker 1: like there's six really really great songs on there, and
- 15:55Speaker 1: that's something that I could listen to and then as
- 15:56Speaker 1: if you I don't like but yeah, I just think
- 15:58Speaker 1: you should have shorten it twelve songs. There's a great
- 16:01Speaker 1: album within that hour forty eight minutes. And I've heard
- 16:04Speaker 1: that yesterday and I completely agree because I'm not gonna lie.
- 16:06Speaker 1: I was like an hour of forty minutes, but do
- 16:08Speaker 1: I expect three hunting the shows that was changing up features.
- 16:11Speaker 1: But dj Vy, you had me at worked boiling. I
- 16:14Speaker 1: was like, I went home on the boiling. I was like,
- 16:17Speaker 1: oh God, but that's what happened. But but but that's
- 16:20Speaker 1: what happens when people don't know the whole story and
- 16:22Speaker 1: it's not our story to tell. And I'm a listen
- 16:25Speaker 1: and I'm listen when it comes out that made you know,
- 16:27Speaker 1: I may be able to say, Okay, you know what, Dnvy,
- 16:30Speaker 1: I get it. You know. I still think it's a
- 16:33Speaker 1: good album, but I don't think you should just shove

- 18:14Speaker 1: And we all know him from the Eat a Booty gang,
- 18:16Speaker 1: and I feel like this has been said before, but
- 18:18Speaker 1: he's very blatant about the fact that he likes to
- 18:23Speaker 1: uh eat the booty. Okay, no, not not, he likes
- 18:27Speaker 1: to do that. It gets done to him. All right,

- 19:02Speaker 1: I don't know why people still shame this where you
- 19:04Speaker 1: don't get it. And I feel like both of y'all
- 19:07Speaker 1: have said the same thing up here too. So it's
- 19:09Speaker 1: tank So a bunch of other people like y'all got
- 19:11Speaker 1: to stop king shaming people for what they like to
- 19:12Speaker 1: do in the bedroom. Number one, he's being funny. And
- 19:14Speaker 1: number two, it can absolutely be described just getting you
- 19:18Speaker 1: say that. You know you cannot say it can be
- 19:20Speaker 1: described as that. We say, yeah, we say eat the
- 19:23Speaker 1: poom poom, So what else could you call it? I
- 19:27Speaker 1: really have no idea booty? So you get your legs
- 19:30Speaker 1: in the hair too, like I've never done that, but
- 19:33Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter. That's my business in the bedroom,
- 19:35Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But y'all got to stop
- 19:36Speaker 1: king shaming people for stuff like that. And why do
- 19:38Speaker 1: y'all act like this is the first time. Every time
- 19:40Speaker 1: trick Daddy says it, I said times he asked topics
- 19:45Speaker 1: about it before I know we have Do you guys
- 19:48Speaker 1: shave the hair on your butt or nothing like that?
- 19:50Speaker 1: Like back there as you man escape that human resources.
- 19:54Speaker 1: But yes, I do what shaving? I mean you ask
- 19:56Speaker 1: me about because I'm thinking about as you guys are
- 19:59Speaker 1: getting mean, how that's the question, like this is shaver?
- 20:04Speaker 1: He puts his legs out. Yes, all right, you put something,
- 20:09Speaker 1: you put a vibrating thing, a vibrating you know, To
- 20:18Speaker 1: be clear, Charlemagne didn't start man escaping until the Breakfast Class.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Yes it is. You didn't. I started man escaping when
- 20:26Speaker 1: we were doing MTV's Guy Code because the first episode
- 20:29Speaker 1: of MTV's Guy Called was about man escaping. I never
- 20:31Speaker 1: had heard of such a thing, but wasn't it ding
- 20:33Speaker 1: also while you were on the Breakfast Club, because we
- 20:34Speaker 1: had a whole conversation about it and you said you
- 20:37Speaker 1: never did it. It was all mtvs Guy Cold. But
- 20:40Speaker 1: you do remember you said you didn't used to man escape, Yeah,
- 20:43Speaker 1: but had nothing to do with Breakfast Club. Right. That
- 20:45Speaker 1: was literally the first episode of MTV's Guy Called ten
- 20:48Speaker 1: years ago. Okay, well yes, man escape, yeah, as you should.
- 20:53Speaker 1: All right. Now, Drake has went to Instagram to unveil
- 20:56Speaker 1: some more certified loverboy merch. Now y'all saw that uh
- 21:00Speaker 1: picture that he had of all the little emojis of
- 21:04Speaker 1: the pregnant women, and people were confused about what that is.
- 21:07Speaker 1: So what that is? And it was explained is, um, basically,
- 21:13Speaker 1: well I don't think that's the cover art, but they're
- 21:16Speaker 1: saying the pregnant it's not the cover. They said, that's
- 21:18Speaker 1: the pregnant emojis are away for saying that the album
- 21:20Speaker 1: is nine months late? Who is they who said this?
- 21:22Speaker 1: So that is um According to Obio sound Well, Elliott
- 21:26Speaker 1: Wilson confirmed they said it was album and DJ Academics
- 21:31Speaker 1: actually spoke to Drake and Drake said, it's the album cover.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Do I think it's the actual album cover? Probably not,
- 21:36Speaker 1: but it gets to people talking, not to mention who
- 21:39Speaker 1: gives a damn bought album covers anymore. I was thinking
- 21:41Speaker 1: the same thing. Nobody ever looks at the album covers
- 21:42Speaker 1: like that's how you just listen to the album. It's not.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Danda has no cover. Literally, it's nothing. It's it's just
- 21:51Speaker 1: a black box. People thought it was clever, but yes,
- 21:55Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the cover art or not.
- 21:57Speaker 1: But they're saying that this could be, you know, just
- 22:00Speaker 1: because the album was nine months late so he's pregnant,
- 22:04Speaker 1: or it could be, as Elliott Wilson said, the cover
- 22:06Speaker 1: and you know, like you said, DJ academic said, he
- 22:08Speaker 1: asked Drake, and Drake said that, yes, this really is
- 22:10Speaker 1: a cover. It wouldn't be the last time Drake did
- 22:12Speaker 1: a basic gas cover. I mean, if you're reading this
- 22:14Speaker 1: too late was a basic gas cover. But then that
- 22:16Speaker 1: became like a hit me. I love the way that
- 22:20Speaker 1: little Nozas actually hijacked that cover for his own too,
- 22:23Speaker 1: and he put a bunch of emojis of pregnant men
- 22:26Speaker 1: all right now. Drake has also shared some new images
- 22:30Speaker 1: of Certified lover Boy and Nike. The collap that they
- 22:33Speaker 1: have and with together, something other than me has got
- 22:36Speaker 1: to give. That's one of the shirts said. One says,
- 22:38Speaker 1: should have said you love me today because tomorrow is
- 22:40Speaker 1: a new day. One says, I don't miss let alone
- 22:43Speaker 1: miss you the hell some t shirts. It's a lot
- 22:48Speaker 1: of writing, a lot of words on there, but yes,
- 22:50Speaker 1: they managed to fit it all in. You gotta at
- 22:52Speaker 1: least wear a double excel to fit all the words in.
- 22:55Speaker 1: All right now. Jr. Smith is sharing his college journey
- 22:58Speaker 1: and everybody's really excited for him, and so he posted
- 23:02Speaker 1: on social media. English is my first language, but these
- 23:06Speaker 1: papers though. Joined the study group for my African American
- 23:09Speaker 1: Studies class on Groupie and my classmates don't think it's
- 23:12Speaker 1: me finish my English homework. Dope short story about a
- 23:15Speaker 1: little girl with six brothers in Seeking Parents Approval Dope
- 23:17Speaker 1: reading first tutoring session in the books I really liked
- 23:20Speaker 1: missus Burke extremely helpful. So he said, I hated school
- 23:23Speaker 1: growing up, and I knew this would be a challenge.
- 23:25Speaker 1: But that's not going to discourage me one second. You
- 23:27Speaker 1: have to be able to buckle down and lock into
- 23:30Speaker 1: new journeys and challenges coming in your life, observe, learn
- 23:33Speaker 1: and adapt. I'm happy for j. Smith. So he's at
- 23:35Speaker 1: North Carolina A and T. And I saw somebody posted
- 23:38Speaker 1: a picture like, I can't believe that J. R. Smith
- 23:40Speaker 1: is in my class, in my eight am class. So
- 23:44Speaker 1: that's good. I mean, I just I wish that I
- 23:46Speaker 1: took advantage of a lot of the classes that were
- 23:48Speaker 1: in college. When I was in college, I was just
- 23:49Speaker 1: trying to get out. Well, you all wish he did,
- 23:51Speaker 1: and I wish I had took advantage of a lot
- 23:53Speaker 1: of the stuff that I should have, whether it's accounting classes,
- 23:56Speaker 1: in finance classes, things that I had to figure out
- 23:58Speaker 1: later on. I wish I took advantage of it. I
- 24:01Speaker 1: just respect the fact that he's not afraid to continue
- 24:03Speaker 1: to still grow and learn, you know, and try new things,
- 24:05Speaker 1: because I mean, he's a multi millionaire. He don't have
- 24:07Speaker 1: to go back to school. But the fact that he
- 24:09Speaker 1: wants to make himself better. I respected to drop on
- 24:11Speaker 1: a clues BONX to Jall Smith. Demit my favorite Carlage class.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I think that I ever took was screenwriting. That was
- 24:18Speaker 1: a I did photography in college. So it's fine. You
- 24:21Speaker 1: can take classes that you really care about and that
- 24:24Speaker 1: interests you and learn more. Yeah. I mean, you know,
- 24:26Speaker 1: I as a doctorate, As a person with a doctorate degree,
- 24:29Speaker 1: you know, I spent a lot of time. Don't classroom?
- 24:31Speaker 1: What class you know what I mean? What classroom did
- 24:33Speaker 1: you spend telling him? Don't don't worry about that. You
- 24:35Speaker 1: know this is before doctor and that is your rumor report.
- 24:43Speaker 1: He is doctor. I'm still a doctor, you are. Okay,
- 24:50Speaker 1: we got front page news. Next. What we're talking about, Yes,
- 24:52Speaker 1: and let's talk about about one point one million customers
- 24:54Speaker 1: still don't have power in Louisiana. When are they going
- 24:57Speaker 1: to get their power back? And we'll give you some
- 24:59Speaker 1: updates as rescue efforts are continuing. All right, we'll get
- 25:02Speaker 1: into that next. It's the breakfast slogal morning, So Breakfast Club,
- 25:05Speaker 1: your mornings will never be the same. Angela. Ye here,
- 25:09Speaker 1: and did you know that the General Insurance has been
- 25:11Speaker 1: saving people money for nearly sixty years. Take a closer
- 25:15Speaker 1: look at the General and see how they can help
- 25:17Speaker 1: you save two Call eight hundred General or go to
- 25:20Speaker 1: the General dot com. Some restrictions apply. Morning. Everybody is
- 25:27Speaker 1: cej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are to
- 25:30Speaker 1: breakfast Club's getting some front page news. Where we starting you, Well,
- 25:35Speaker 1: let's start in Louisiana. Hurricane Ida has left catastrophic damage.
- 25:40Speaker 1: We already told you guys that one person was confirmed
- 25:43Speaker 1: to have been killed. Well, now they said there's a
- 25:45Speaker 1: second storm related death that was reported following Hurricane Ida.
- 25:48Speaker 1: The first as a tree that fell on someone. That
- 25:51Speaker 1: the next one is a man who drowned after attempting
- 25:54Speaker 1: to drive his vehicle through floodwater. They said, right now,
- 25:57Speaker 1: his age is unknown. I know a lot of people
- 25:59Speaker 1: are trying to locate their loved ones as these rescue
- 26:02Speaker 1: efforts are continuing. About one point one million customers still
- 26:05Speaker 1: do not have power in Louisiana. They said. Electricity is
- 26:08Speaker 1: practically non existent for most people. They're saying some of
- 26:12Speaker 1: these outages could last more than three weeks, by the way,
- 26:15Speaker 1: so that's really imagine having to go three weeks they
- 26:18Speaker 1: said three hospitals across the state have already been evacuated,
- 26:21Speaker 1: with the fourth hospital and the process of being evacuated.
- 26:24Speaker 1: And according to the governor, there's also eighteen water system
- 26:27Speaker 1: outages impacting more than over three hundred thousand people and
- 26:31Speaker 1: fourteen boil water advisories that impacts more than three hundred
- 26:34Speaker 1: and twenty nine thousand people across Louisiana. That's hard. Well,
- 26:38Speaker 1: that's got to suck in two thwenty one. I mean,
- 26:39Speaker 1: I went through something like that in the eighties with
- 26:41Speaker 1: Hurricane h going Charleston, South Carolina. But they have to
- 26:44Speaker 1: experience that in twenty twenty one, like that should not
- 26:47Speaker 1: be the case for anybody to be without power for
- 26:49Speaker 1: three weeks, right, And Joe Biden has addressed the damage
- 26:52Speaker 1: caused by Hurricane Ida, and he is offering federal support
- 26:55Speaker 1: to the states who are impacted. Here's what he had
- 26:58Speaker 1: to say. And we've deployed more two hundred generators and
- 27:02Speaker 1: we're already moved into the region. They've been moved in
- 27:04Speaker 1: ahead of time, and the administrator, Griswell and her team
- 27:08Speaker 1: at FEMA is working getting more of those into the area.
- 27:12Speaker 1: And we're in close contact with local electric providers to
- 27:15Speaker 1: see what they need. They're all private providers. We don't
- 27:18Speaker 1: control that, but we're doing all we can to minimize
- 27:21Speaker 1: the amount of time it's going to take to get
- 27:23Speaker 1: power back up for everyone in the region. They said
- 27:27Speaker 1: they've moved more than two hundred generators into the region
- 27:29Speaker 1: and they're working to send in more. I actually talk
- 27:32Speaker 1: to some people that are in Louisiana right now, how
- 27:35Speaker 1: difficult it is to even try to get gas, to
- 27:37Speaker 1: be able to drive anywhere from a gas station. How
- 27:40Speaker 1: hot it is and there's no power, so you don't
- 27:42Speaker 1: have air conditioning, you don't have lights. So people are
- 27:44Speaker 1: trying to figure out. People don't want to leave either.
- 27:47Speaker 1: If you're there right now, I know some people are
- 27:49Speaker 1: trying to stay, but you know, it's a difficult situation.
- 27:52Speaker 1: I want to own under kid how they can prevent
- 27:55Speaker 1: those things for happening, because you look at other neighborhoods, like,
- 27:58Speaker 1: of course, I live in Jersey and I just remember
- 28:01Speaker 1: ten years ago there was areas they used to flood
- 28:02Speaker 1: all the time during the rain. They used to be
- 28:04Speaker 1: problems all the time, and they fixed it. They fixed it,
- 28:07Speaker 1: you know, the structure to make sure it didn't happen again.
- 28:09Speaker 1: And I wonder why they don't do that in certain
- 28:11Speaker 1: areas that flood all the time, like New Orleans, Louisiana
- 28:14Speaker 1: or all. I think Jersey flooding a little different than
- 28:16Speaker 1: Louisiana flooding. Louisiana flooding is a lot more intense, a
- 28:19Speaker 1: lot more. But if they know it's high, can't they
- 28:21Speaker 1: figure out how it's not. It's not like it's a surprise.
- 28:23Speaker 1: They know what's going to happen. They evacuate people, so
- 28:26Speaker 1: when they be able to install something in the infrastructure
- 28:29Speaker 1: to make sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe it's just me.
- 28:31Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm you know, I'm just asking. Yeah,
- 28:33Speaker 1: this has been an ongoing issue there so and even
- 28:36Speaker 1: yeah for you know, they're trying to move these generators
- 28:39Speaker 1: there now for people to be able to have power.
- 28:41Speaker 1: I saw a man got attacked by an alligator. That's
- 28:43Speaker 1: why in the water from the floods after Hurricane Ida.
- 28:47Speaker 1: All right now, two people are dead and ten are
- 28:50Speaker 1: injured after a Mississippi highway washed away by heavy rain.
- 28:53Speaker 1: The incident occurred on Highway twenty six in George County,
- 28:57Speaker 1: and the washout they said was likely related to the
- 28:59Speaker 1: rain from Hurricane Ida as well. More than fifty eight
- 29:02Speaker 1: thousand people in Mississippi remain without power due to the storm.
- 29:06Speaker 1: All Right, and South African researchers are keeping an eye
- 29:09Speaker 1: on yet another new coronavirus variant. They're saying this one
- 29:13Speaker 1: is called C one two. It's popped up across South
- 29:17Speaker 1: Africa and other seven other countries in Africa, Asia and
- 29:20Speaker 1: the Pacific. They're not sure whether it's constellation of mutations
- 29:24Speaker 1: will make it more dangerous, but they said it has
- 29:26Speaker 1: changes that have given other variants increased transmissibility and also
- 29:31Speaker 1: the ability to evade the immune systems response to some degree.
- 29:35Speaker 1: So they're saying that more mutations doesn't have to mean
- 29:38Speaker 1: more dangerous. Some mutations can weaken a virus, but we'll
- 29:42Speaker 1: see what happens. They're keeping an eye on this new variant.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Why does all of this sound like the Marvel Universe?
- 29:48Speaker 1: I mean, mutations, invariants and all types of other stuff. Well,
- 29:51Speaker 1: are the Avengers when we need them? My God? Is
- 29:55Speaker 1: the avengers? The vaccine? I don't know, Senators, just imagine
- 30:00Speaker 1: all these things happening at once, right we have, Yeah,
- 30:04Speaker 1: it's just a lot like the Book of Revelation. To me,
- 30:07Speaker 1: that is your front page about what everybody else doing.
- 30:10Speaker 1: But you better find some healing and get right with God,
- 30:11Speaker 1: because you know absolutely, I haven't found answers any place else.
- 30:16Speaker 1: It's been crazy. It's between COVID and the storms and
- 30:20Speaker 1: all that. It's just it's just been crazy. My family
- 30:22Speaker 1: just got back this morning, and they were supposed to
- 30:23Speaker 1: be back when Saturday morning because the storms held them
- 30:26Speaker 1: and it was sucked. So you better get them. You
- 30:29Speaker 1: better get the know God if you don't know. All
- 30:32Speaker 1: right now, when we come back, we got a special
- 30:34Speaker 1: guests joining us this morning. We have Ingrid Best joining us. Yes,

- 31:59Speaker 1: She's the person I go to. So I want to
- 32:01Speaker 1: talk about how you got to where you are because

- 32:05Speaker 1: are watching, who are like, one day, I want to
- 32:06Speaker 1: be an executive like ingrid Is And how did she
- 32:09Speaker 1: get to that point? And you work in the spirits industry,
- 32:11Speaker 1: and you've been there in this industry for so long,
- 32:13Speaker 1: and it might seem like just fun going to parties
- 32:16Speaker 1: having drinks, but there's so much more that happens behind
- 32:19Speaker 1: the scenes. So let's start with you started out at
- 32:22Speaker 1: a young age and you had a promotions company. Yeah,
- 32:25Speaker 1: I started out actually doing street promotions. I worked for
- 32:28Speaker 1: all the major record labels. I actually was on the
- 32:31Speaker 1: Bad Boys Street Team for the Street Team to be
- 32:34Speaker 1: an executive big Yeah, those legendary campaigns like the Big
- 32:38Speaker 1: Macow And when you think about a lot of like
- 32:42Speaker 1: the experiential agencies and activations now that came from a
- 32:46Speaker 1: lot of street promotion and guerrilla marketing and they just
- 32:48Speaker 1: kind of took our sauce and tried to make it
- 32:51Speaker 1: their own. So a lot of what I do today
- 32:53Speaker 1: comes from a lot of those early learnings from my
- 32:56Speaker 1: street promotions days. Very lost art by the way, Yeah,
- 32:59Speaker 1: very much so, And it's a story that needs to
- 33:01Speaker 1: be told. But yeah, I've been in the business for
- 33:02Speaker 1: twenty years. I started as an ambassador. I launched a
- 33:07Speaker 1: little small brand for a really big company, and uh,
- 33:11Speaker 1: that's where I found myself falling in love with this industry.
- 33:15Speaker 1: But the turning point for me in terms of my
- 33:17Speaker 1: spirit's career was really around the time that Puff made
- 33:21Speaker 1: the deal with Sirok right, because it was the first
- 33:24Speaker 1: time that we got to see black and brown people,
- 33:26Speaker 1: got to see someone you know, at that that had
- 33:28Speaker 1: a seat at the table. He got a seat at
- 33:30Speaker 1: the table for us, and that was really what kind
- 33:32Speaker 1: of put the fire under me. I'm like, you know, this,
- 33:34Speaker 1: this is a real this is a career. You know,
- 33:36Speaker 1: there's something here. And when I started, there was there
- 33:39Speaker 1: were no black and brown people that I saw anyway,
- 33:43Speaker 1: you know. I mean for me, it was the receptionist
- 33:46Speaker 1: and maybe an assistant, but in terms of management level
- 33:50Speaker 1: making decisions, they're just weren't people that look like us.
- 33:53Speaker 1: So from from my very early start, I was like,
- 33:56Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm gonna mix this up and I'm
- 33:58Speaker 1: anna change. And so that's one of the things I've
- 34:00Speaker 1: been committed to doing is making sure that black and
- 34:03Speaker 1: brown people have representation in the spirits industry, which is
- 34:05Speaker 1: why me and did he connect the way that we do, right,
- 34:09Speaker 1: because that's always been his ambition as well. Now before
- 34:12Speaker 1: you landed there, let's talk about your path in this
- 34:14Speaker 1: spirit's business. Because you worked for a Boccardi, right, Was
- 34:17Speaker 1: that your first? No? So, I've been in the game
- 34:20Speaker 1: almost twenty years. I started out launching a brand for Diagio,
- 34:25Speaker 1: and then I went on to work for Diago for
- 34:28Speaker 1: five or six years. I then was recruited by LVMH
- 34:31Speaker 1: now for Diagio for people who don't know what Diagio is.
- 34:34Speaker 1: They also are the company that explained how Diagio works,
- 34:37Speaker 1: just for people who don't know. Yep, So full circle
- 34:40Speaker 1: moment for me. I started at Diago and now I'm
- 34:42Speaker 1: managing did He's partnership with Diagio. So Diago is our
- 34:46Speaker 1: partner now on siroc and Delon. I worked with them
- 34:49Speaker 1: for five years. They're the biggest supplier in the world.
- 34:53Speaker 1: They own most of the brands that people are enjoying
- 34:56Speaker 1: at bars and at home. I then went on to
- 34:59Speaker 1: work for I got recruited by LVMH for the moet
- 35:02Speaker 1: Hennessee division. I started working across the portfolio wine spirits
- 35:06Speaker 1: both and Champagne and then worked on the Hennessee team.
- 35:11Speaker 1: So when you've seen all that work where Hennessey really
- 35:14Speaker 1: revitalized itself, that was a team that I worked on.
- 35:17Speaker 1: And then I worked on Belvedere try to help them
- 35:19Speaker 1: get their act together. And then I got recruited actually
- 35:23Speaker 1: from Jay's team at Rock Nation to come and oversee
- 35:27Speaker 1: the joint venture for Boccarti and Jay on Douce. Boccarti
- 35:32Speaker 1: is the parent company for Yes McCarty's a parent company
- 35:35Speaker 1: for du Say and partnership with Jay. They co own it,
- 35:39Speaker 1: and I basically oversaw all the marketing for du Say.
- 35:42Speaker 1: And then I got a call from Diddy and the
- 35:45Speaker 1: team at Comb's Enterprise, and you know, again a full
- 35:48Speaker 1: circle moment. You know, when I think back to how
- 35:50Speaker 1: I started my career, he was very much so his
- 35:53Speaker 1: deal with Sirock was so influential because I was like,
- 35:56Speaker 1: finally we got a piece of this thing. And so
- 35:59Speaker 1: for me, it really is a full circle moment. And
- 36:01Speaker 1: so now I'm the head of marketing for Comb's Enterprise.
- 36:04Speaker 1: We oversee Sarak and DeLeon, and we're you know, looking
- 36:08Speaker 1: at other brands to increase, you know, and grow our
- 36:10Speaker 1: portfolio and it's just it's a it's incredible opportunity. Here
- 36:14Speaker 1: we talk about that for a second because people love
- 36:15Speaker 1: to act like Diddy don't really own some of that
- 36:19Speaker 1: Shaq and daileon, but he has ownership in it. Yeah
- 36:22Speaker 1: for sure for Sarak. Listen, it's a mastermind you know,
- 36:26Speaker 1: marketing partnership that he put together, and all over the
- 36:30Speaker 1: world if you say Sarak, what people say is Diddy. Yeah. Um.
- 36:34Speaker 1: And so there's there's no denying the connectivity and the
- 36:38Speaker 1: fact that he absolutely um is the anchor for that brand.
- 36:42Speaker 1: And then with Delion again he predicted the intersection between
- 36:46Speaker 1: culture and and tequila. No, no one really understood what
- 36:50Speaker 1: was going to happen in that category the way that
- 36:52Speaker 1: he did. Um. And he's a black man that owns
- 36:55Speaker 1: a tequila and his partner is Diagio. Um. And it's
- 36:58Speaker 1: big business. A lot of people don't realize. But the
- 37:00Speaker 1: Spears business, which is why you see so many people
- 37:02Speaker 1: jumping in it is top hip hop hip hop artists
- 37:07Speaker 1: every year. Yeah. I saw you posted a picture of
- 37:10Speaker 1: your team that you have which is all black women, yes,
- 37:12Speaker 1: which is unheard of in the spirits industry. Yeah. Yeah,
- 37:15Speaker 1: we're we are the only team that looks like us.
- 37:17Speaker 1: I have seven black women marketers that are incredible. They're
- 37:21Speaker 1: the best and the best. We can go toe to
- 37:23Speaker 1: toe with anybody. So I'm kind of calling out the brand.
- 37:25Speaker 1: They are what make me great. And both of the
- 37:29Speaker 1: brands are growing double digits. It's no accident because these
- 37:31Speaker 1: women just get it right and they're hard working, and
- 37:35Speaker 1: we look like the consumer we're talking to the versus battles. Yeah, yeah,
- 37:39Speaker 1: we did we you know. And again that was another
- 37:42Speaker 1: prediction on on Ditty's behalf where he was like, make
- 37:45Speaker 1: that happen. I'm like done because he knew that that
- 37:48Speaker 1: was just going to be such a big moment and
- 37:50Speaker 1: culture and it has proven to be and we've been
- 37:52Speaker 1: at the center of that. All right. We have more
- 37:54Speaker 1: with Ingrid Best. So we come back to don't move
- 37:57Speaker 1: this to Breakfast Club morning. I want to everybody to
- 37:59Speaker 1: see j Envy Angela Yee Charlomagne, the guy we all
- 38:03Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with ingd Best,
- 38:05Speaker 1: the executive vice president and global head of marketing for
- 38:08Speaker 1: Spirits and Combs Enterprises. We have Ingrid bestish yeeism. During
- 38:14Speaker 1: this whole a sense to where you are now a lot. Yeah.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Part of why this position was so attractive to me
- 38:21Speaker 1: was because I knew that I would be in a
- 38:24Speaker 1: situation to go back and grab a lot of those
- 38:26Speaker 1: young women that have been through situations like myself, where
- 38:29Speaker 1: you know, you're not getting the appropriate titles, you're not
- 38:32Speaker 1: being offered their appropriate packages, You're being asked to wait
- 38:36Speaker 1: in the same positions much longer than your white counterparts.
- 38:40Speaker 1: And it's obvious, like the treatment as obvious, and it's traumatizing, right.
- 38:45Speaker 1: I think obviously the George Floyd moment and the moment
- 38:48Speaker 1: with Black Lives Matter made companies realize that they were
- 38:52Speaker 1: under the microscope. So you're starting to see them appoint folks,
- 38:56Speaker 1: you know, kind of ask figureheads because they have to.
- 38:58Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, we need a head of diverse and inclusion. Yeah,
- 39:01Speaker 1: and I don't. But it's also continue it. Yeah, right now,
- 39:07Speaker 1: while we're under the microscope, we're gonna do this and
- 39:09Speaker 1: then we'll move away from it later. It can't be surface.
- 39:13Speaker 1: And so I would say for those companies, I'm probably
- 39:17Speaker 1: you know, they keep an eye on me because I'm
- 39:19Speaker 1: so vocal about it, Like let's talk about it. There
- 39:21Speaker 1: is racism in this industry, like there's racism in all industries, right.
- 39:25Speaker 1: I think the difference here is that your consumer is
- 39:28Speaker 1: black and brown, and so you gotta do you gotta
- 39:31Speaker 1: do the right thing, right, and we all have to
- 39:33Speaker 1: demand that they do the right thing. So it's good
- 39:35Speaker 1: to see, uh, some of my peers that are finally
- 39:38Speaker 1: getting positioned in the right places. And you know, my
- 39:42Speaker 1: thing is like you gotta seat, go get everybody else
- 39:44Speaker 1: and get them a seat, right, Like that's our responsibility.
- 39:47Speaker 1: And so that's what I've done with the seven women
- 39:48Speaker 1: that work for me, and they are incredible, you know.
- 39:51Speaker 1: And that person don't know you also have a son, yes,
- 39:54Speaker 1: and you had your signing pretty early, and you also
- 39:56Speaker 1: had to work though and working in nightlife and working
- 39:59Speaker 1: in spirits. It is a very time consuming job. It
- 40:02Speaker 1: also requires travel, it requires you being out late. How
- 40:04Speaker 1: was that balance for you? Yeah, you know it. Listen,
- 40:07Speaker 1: I'm a teenage mom. I have my son at eighteen
- 40:09Speaker 1: years old. The first thing I want to say is
- 40:12Speaker 1: to all you teenage moms, there's nothing you cannot do.
- 40:15Speaker 1: So for me, it was like the very very early on,
- 40:18Speaker 1: I was like Okay, I have this mouth to feed.
- 40:21Speaker 1: I have to figure this thing out. And so he
- 40:24Speaker 1: certainly has been my reason. And it wasn't easy. It
- 40:28Speaker 1: was it was my community, thank God for you know,
- 40:31Speaker 1: his father and his father's family and my mom and
- 40:34Speaker 1: my family and like your tribe. And I knew early
- 40:38Speaker 1: on without my tribe, I wasn't going to really be
- 40:41Speaker 1: able to balance like the love that I had for
- 40:43Speaker 1: being an adult professional and a career person, but the
- 40:47Speaker 1: responsibility that I had to being a parent. Did I
- 40:50Speaker 1: reach away at Sway? Sue was one of your early mentors. Yeah,
- 40:53Speaker 1: Sway is absolutely one of my early mentors. Yeah, I'm
- 40:56Speaker 1: from the day. Yeah. Yeah. So I in turn for Way,
- 41:00Speaker 1: and you know, my promotions, my street promotions career was
- 41:06Speaker 1: because of Sway. So Sway had a street promotions company.
- 41:10Speaker 1: I interned for him. I fell in love with it.
- 41:12Speaker 1: I was really good with it. He kind of moved on,
- 41:15Speaker 1: and that was really how we stepped in. I was like, yo,
- 41:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna take all your accounts. If you're okay with that,
- 41:20Speaker 1: I'm going to take on. But yeah, I absolutely owe
- 41:26Speaker 1: my connection to entertainment, my passion for it to Sway.
- 41:31Speaker 1: And I tell him that as often as I can,
- 41:34Speaker 1: I wish more young people now were in doing internships
- 41:37Speaker 1: without my internship. There's a lot of things that I
- 41:41Speaker 1: just wouldn't have been exposed to. And did he talks
- 41:43Speaker 1: about that he was the intern. I was like, I'm
- 41:45Speaker 1: willing to do anything to figure it out. And I
- 41:47Speaker 1: think there's just so much value and interning and having
- 41:50Speaker 1: people that you can look back. When I think back
- 41:52Speaker 1: to Sway, I'm like, man, what would my life have
- 41:55Speaker 1: been if I hadn't of met him, if I didn't intern? Remember,
- 41:58Speaker 1: I had a kid as an intern to the problem
- 42:01Speaker 1: now is that they make it too complicated to be
- 42:02Speaker 1: an intern. Yeah, you got to be in school X
- 42:05Speaker 1: like I wasn't. I didn't go to college, you know
- 42:06Speaker 1: what I mean? So what about those kids from the
- 42:08Speaker 1: hood who just got dry or just got talent, Like
- 42:11Speaker 1: they just need an opportunity right, Like where they're gonna
- 42:14Speaker 1: get that from? Right? And that was me. Yeah. I
- 42:16Speaker 1: don't think nobody sets the tone like like black women.
- 42:19Speaker 1: I really truly honest, I feel like that. And I
- 42:21Speaker 1: think that when you, especially as a black man, when
- 42:23Speaker 1: you see a true black women, the first thing you
- 42:26Speaker 1: think is because you're thinking to your mom, you're thinking
- 42:29Speaker 1: to your grandma, you know, your sisters, whatever. I just
- 42:32Speaker 1: think nobody sets the tone like black black women are incredible.
- 42:36Speaker 1: We're super passionate, we are nurturing. So the other thing
- 42:40Speaker 1: is like we take time to be human. We're not
- 42:42Speaker 1: just employees, we're not robots. We very much so you know,
- 42:47Speaker 1: zooms with my team, it's a moment. You know, sometimes
- 42:51Speaker 1: we pray. Sometimes somebody's having a hard time, they may cry.
- 42:55Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you one thing. They're gonna they're
- 42:57Speaker 1: gonna bang out an incredible marketing plan. And I think
- 43:01Speaker 1: you know, companies that have us at the helm, they
- 43:03Speaker 1: see the difference. You know, we're putting up the numbers.
- 43:06Speaker 1: We're making change. We have a beautiful way of recruiting
- 43:11Speaker 1: right and influencing people want to work with us and
- 43:14Speaker 1: for us, and it goes a long way and you
- 43:16Speaker 1: see it in your business. I'm super proud of the
- 43:19Speaker 1: work that I see black women doing, especially the black
- 43:21Speaker 1: women in leadership, and we look out for each other.
- 43:24Speaker 1: But spekin of which we have this Black Excellence campaign
- 43:27Speaker 1: that's going on with entrepreneurship and businesses. So I want
- 43:30Speaker 1: to make sure that we talk about that and that's
- 43:32Speaker 1: what SIAK and I'm involved in that as well. You are,
- 43:35Speaker 1: and thank you so much. So we launched a campaign
- 43:39Speaker 1: in the middle of the pandemic called Sarak Stands, and
- 43:42Speaker 1: it's really our opportunity to look, everyone knows that Siak
- 43:45Speaker 1: is a brand that's about fun and celebration. Well, we're
- 43:48Speaker 1: also a brand that's anchored in doing the right thing
- 43:51Speaker 1: and being a voice right and it was important for
- 43:54Speaker 1: us to make sure that people understand that you could
- 43:56Speaker 1: have fun. You know, you can be a part of culture,
- 43:59Speaker 1: but you can also be anchored in something. So we
- 44:01Speaker 1: launched Shark Sands last year. We're kicking it off again
- 44:05Speaker 1: um this month, and we purposely kicked it off towards
- 44:09Speaker 1: the latter part of August because it's focused around black businesses.
- 44:13Speaker 1: And so the assumption is, oh, they're doing this program
- 44:16Speaker 1: for Black Business Month, and we're like, no, we we're
- 44:18Speaker 1: doing programs for black businesses three hundred and sixty five
- 44:21Speaker 1: days a year. We're working with you to interview some
- 44:24Speaker 1: of those businesses and highlight some of those businesses. It
- 44:26Speaker 1: was important to work with you because you are pioneering,
- 44:30Speaker 1: you know, your entrepreneurial journey as a black business owner
- 44:34Speaker 1: and it's inspiring people, right, and so there's a connect
- 44:37Speaker 1: connection there. So Siak stands, you know, it is just
- 44:40Speaker 1: launching an initiative around black businesses. We're highlighting three businesses
- 44:44Speaker 1: in New York, three businesses that happened to be owned
- 44:46Speaker 1: by black women, which were really excited about. We work
- 44:49Speaker 1: with some mentors to identify some of those, by the way,
- 44:53Speaker 1: and Pantina's a mentor. As a mentor and our bust
- 45:02Speaker 1: up here, yeah, but we we we identify folks that
- 45:05Speaker 1: we thought could really help us pick some really dope
- 45:08Speaker 1: black businesses. So again it's our opportunities. And these business
- 45:12Speaker 1: owners get to be on billboards. But they're all so
- 45:14Speaker 1: excited about when I spoke to them. That's the one
- 45:16Speaker 1: thing that they're like, Sirak is paying for you to
- 45:19Speaker 1: be on a billboard for your business. That's a big deal. Yeah. Yeah,
- 45:22Speaker 1: And we are doing obviously above and beyond that investing
- 45:26Speaker 1: making sure that these businesses you know, are profiled, right,
- 45:30Speaker 1: But then we're also working with companies that can also
- 45:33Speaker 1: help you know, other black businesses benefit from some of
- 45:36Speaker 1: the things that we're doing. This is none of my business.
- 45:38Speaker 1: I'm just asking because you're so dope, and I'm sure
- 45:41Speaker 1: you're paid well, but you know, you helped build up
- 45:44Speaker 1: so many of these brands. At some point somebody got
- 45:46Speaker 1: to say, well, hey, miss Ingrid, would you like se
- 45:49Speaker 1: equity ownership as well? I love that. I'm actually glad
- 45:52Speaker 1: you brought that up. My goal and what I will
- 45:56Speaker 1: eventually do is on my own brand, and that's something
- 45:58Speaker 1: that Diddy and I have taught about. He's super supportive
- 46:01Speaker 1: of it. I'm working on some things that have been
- 46:04Speaker 1: passionate and near and dear to me um and he's like,
- 46:07Speaker 1: look when you when the time comes, we're gonna make
- 46:10Speaker 1: it happen. And so ultimately my thing is like you
- 46:13Speaker 1: take all these experiences and then you say I know
- 46:16Speaker 1: how to do this, I'm a master at this, and
- 46:19Speaker 1: then what is it that I'm passionate about? And so
- 46:21Speaker 1: that's what eventually I think my path is going to
- 46:24Speaker 1: lead as well. And did he is super supportive of it,
- 46:28Speaker 1: and and ultimately, like for him, he's like, that's the
- 46:31Speaker 1: pinnacle right here. I came in, I did this marketing partnership,
- 46:35Speaker 1: then I own this tequila. You know, I've had this
- 46:38Speaker 1: legacy of having black women in leadership and ah, now
- 46:41Speaker 1: I can actually also help someone kick off their dream.
- 46:44Speaker 1: All right, well, Ingry, I appreciate you so much for coming. Frost,
- 46:48Speaker 1: make sure and tell people where they can find you,
- 46:50Speaker 1: because I know after this you're gonna have a ton

- 47:03Speaker 1: I love mentoring folks. I'm only one person, so my
- 47:07Speaker 1: team A lot of times it's like you can't take
- 47:09Speaker 1: on another another mentee. But it goes back to your point.
- 47:11Speaker 1: It shouldn't be so difficult to get guidance, that's right.
- 47:14Speaker 1: If you're somebody that's eager, you want to learn, you
- 47:16Speaker 1: want to intern, there should be people that are available
- 47:19Speaker 1: to you that you don't have to go through this
- 47:21Speaker 1: vigorous project, so you could reach out to me. I
- 47:24Speaker 1: try to read every DM, every message on LinkedIn, I

- 47:46Speaker 1: young women that work for me, I am making sure
- 47:49Speaker 1: that they're going to be better. They are going to

- 48:47Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club's filling the team. This is the
- 48:53Speaker 1: Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. But
- 48:58Speaker 1: let's talk. Kanye's tenth studio album, Donda over sixty million
- 49:03Speaker 1: streams in the US on Apple Music in the first
- 49:05Speaker 1: twenty four hours. It set a twenty twenty one record
- 49:08Speaker 1: for the streaming service, and it was the third highest
- 49:11Speaker 1: total ever in that spand it also was number one
- 49:16Speaker 1: and tapped a record one hundred and fifty two countries
- 49:19Speaker 1: on Apple Music's album charts in its first twenty four hours,
- 49:23Speaker 1: and it occupied nineteen of the top twenty spots on
- 49:26Speaker 1: its daily Top one hundred global Songs charts. So all
- 49:30Speaker 1: I've worked, all anticipation work, all of listening parties and
- 49:33Speaker 1: the pushbacks and everything else worked on Spotify got more
- 49:36Speaker 1: than ninety four million worldwide streams, the second most all
- 49:39Speaker 1: time ever for Spotify. So congratulations to him. Now, there
- 49:43Speaker 1: was a lot of drama, as you know, and one
- 49:46Speaker 1: of the things that happened was Soldier Boy was upset
- 49:49Speaker 1: that he was removed from the album. The verse that
- 49:52Speaker 1: he did was cut from remote control. Here's a Soldier
- 49:56Speaker 1: Boy talking about Kanye who didn't even tell him that
- 50:00Speaker 1: he didn't put his verse on the album. It was
- 50:02Speaker 1: just more of a thing to where it's blaming it
- 50:04Speaker 1: to my fans, so where if they're not in the
- 50:06Speaker 1: dark about the whole situation. He blamed it on Universal
- 50:09Speaker 1: You saw that tweet as cow all the reason he
- 50:11Speaker 1: said that, why you ain't said it before the outcome out?
- 50:13Speaker 1: You wait time? Expressed myself on social media and then
- 50:17Speaker 1: you made an excuse. I don't give a damn if
- 50:19Speaker 1: he man, I don't care hypeel Hey man, you could
- 50:22Speaker 1: have called me before everything. You couldn't called me and said,
- 50:24Speaker 1: drakeco just the reason why you didn't make the album.
- 50:26Speaker 1: TAMZ always catches up a Soldier Boys somehow. Now. He
- 50:29Speaker 1: also posted he did the same ish on RoboCop on
- 50:32Speaker 1: amber Rose was in the studio years ago. I hate
- 50:34Speaker 1: working with this dude. He needs help seriously, and then
- 50:37Speaker 1: he called him vagina. Well that's why you call him,
- 50:41Speaker 1: he said, he does he could be the presidents at
- 50:43Speaker 1: your goofy asked down somewhere. That's why I hope don't
- 50:45Speaker 1: f well. I think he meant to right f with you,
- 50:48Speaker 1: but he said f you. You don't have no right.
- 50:56Speaker 1: I don't like your behavior, like Danny As had said,
- 51:00Speaker 1: don't call my phone. No more weird ass and where
- 51:03Speaker 1: That's why Kim left your bipolar ass. That's not cool,
- 51:06Speaker 1: that's right, masson the brother healing energy man. All right,
- 51:09Speaker 1: he went, and then he could call me at Kim
- 51:12Speaker 1: Kardashian he playing too much. And he also put up
- 51:16Speaker 1: his verse from remote control. Now, I don't know how
- 51:35Speaker 1: the industry works. Do you have to give people phone
- 51:37Speaker 1: calls when you remove them from records? Do you let
- 51:39Speaker 1: them know? I mean, I think it's proper etiquette if
- 51:41Speaker 1: you record a verse with somebody in an I will
- 51:43Speaker 1: say this, A lot of artists don't know if they
- 51:45Speaker 1: made an album or not until it comes out. And
- 51:47Speaker 1: that's the truth, right, Like you might do a verse
- 51:50Speaker 1: for somebody you don't know. And then we've had artists
- 51:52Speaker 1: up here all the time who like I recorded one
- 51:54Speaker 1: hundred songs, I only put twelve on the album, you know,
- 51:57Speaker 1: And sometimes but if they put out a version of
- 51:59Speaker 1: a song that you will own and you're not on it,
- 52:01Speaker 1: I think it's only right to have a conversation. I think.
- 52:04Speaker 1: I mean, I can't say, but he did share their
- 52:07Speaker 1: text messages back and forth. You know it would be nice,
- 52:10Speaker 1: but it doesn't always happen. And that's just the truth.
- 52:14Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's a ton of artists who did
- 52:16Speaker 1: versus that didn't make it onto the album, right, and
- 52:20Speaker 1: you don't know who it comes out. Just send them
- 52:22Speaker 1: healing energy, soldier boy, That's all all right now. Twenty
- 52:25Speaker 1: one Savage is speaking on owning his masters and he
- 52:28Speaker 1: said he makes more money off album sales than touring.
- 52:31Speaker 1: I had a platinum album before I signed my idea.
- 52:34Speaker 1: You had to play in them independent, you owned you? Yes,
- 52:37Speaker 1: I own my master. Okay, every song you ever heard,
- 52:40Speaker 1: hard everything, I own it a lot. My split I
- 52:43Speaker 1: got a seventy thirty split with my label. I get seventy,
- 52:46Speaker 1: they get thirty. I make more money off my album
- 52:49Speaker 1: sales than I do off torn that's him A million
- 52:52Speaker 1: dollars worth of Game of Gillian Wallow who to my
- 52:55Speaker 1: guys Willie Wallow and Gilly y'all gonna stop backing like
- 52:57Speaker 1: um twenty one savage and got good sense he's okay
- 53:00Speaker 1: dropping a clue ball twenty months. Oh yeah, but he's
- 53:02Speaker 1: always said that he was independent at first and he
- 53:04Speaker 1: made tons of money, that that deal was amazing, So
- 53:07Speaker 1: all right now. Offset in the meantime was at NASDAC
- 53:10Speaker 1: headquarters in Times Square and he was celebrating Reservoir Media
- 53:14Speaker 1: going public. It's an independent music publishing company. It's the
- 53:17Speaker 1: first of its kind to do an IPO and the
- 53:20Speaker 1: first female led music company to go public as well,
- 53:23Speaker 1: thanks to the leadership from its founder and CEO Offsets.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Involving is because the Megos catalog is under Reservoir Media
- 53:30Speaker 1: under that umbrella, so he claims his partners with the company.
- 53:33Speaker 1: And he actually rang the bell at Nasdak, So congratulations
- 53:37Speaker 1: to him, and I saw Cardi B was there supporting
- 53:39Speaker 1: her man and Reservoir Media posted this morning Reservoir wearing
- 53:42Speaker 1: the Nasdak opening bell and celebration of our recent IPO.
- 53:46Speaker 1: It is both exciting and humbling to take this next
- 53:48Speaker 1: step in Reservoir's journey. We look forward to all the
- 53:50Speaker 1: opportunities this creates as we deepen our commitment to investing
- 53:53Speaker 1: in entertainment, So congratulations to them all right. Now, TI's
- 53:58Speaker 1: daughter Deja Harris, was talking about not liking her hair
- 54:01Speaker 1: texture and I saw a lot of people commenting and
- 54:04Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth about it. This was
- 54:07Speaker 1: on Friday. She opened up about her struggles and how
- 54:09Speaker 1: she didn't like her texture. She said, I hate to
- 54:10Speaker 1: say it, Slash admitted, but I'm so sad that I
- 54:14Speaker 1: have my dad's hair texture. Sad because it's so much
- 54:17Speaker 1: to deal with manage, Sad because I feel like it
- 54:19Speaker 1: just doesn't fit me nor as this texture one that's
- 54:21Speaker 1: appreciated or uplifted as much as the other textures. And
- 54:25Speaker 1: then she said, anytime I see someone with type four hair,
- 54:27Speaker 1: I always compliment them because I know how it feels
- 54:29Speaker 1: to genuinely not like your hair, slash texture. I never
- 54:32Speaker 1: want anyone to feel like that. It looks so bomb
- 54:35Speaker 1: on other people but me, Yeah no. So a lot
- 54:38Speaker 1: of people did come to her defense and feel like
- 54:42Speaker 1: they could relate and understand that, and some people felt like,
- 54:46Speaker 1: you know, they criticize her for opening up about her hair.
- 54:50Speaker 1: She's saying saying that she's focusing on positive comments rather
- 54:53Speaker 1: than the negative ones. But she said, I'm actually focusing
- 54:56Speaker 1: on the uplifting positive comments as opposed to the negative.
- 54:58Speaker 1: Their tweet was only about myself, but I was open
- 55:00Speaker 1: about how I fail because I know others might possibly
- 55:03Speaker 1: be able to relate, and some of them did listen.
- 55:06Speaker 1: I feel her though, because you know, my whole life
- 55:09Speaker 1: growing up, I used to hate my hair texture. That's
- 55:11Speaker 1: why I've been doing this natural hair journey to try
- 55:13Speaker 1: to get my curls back straight. And it was just
- 55:15Speaker 1: a lot to deal with. It would always be like
- 55:17Speaker 1: you wash it, and then your hair when it's curly,
- 55:20Speaker 1: it gets all naughty real fast. They didn't have a
- 55:22Speaker 1: lot of hair products to be able to use for
- 55:24Speaker 1: you to be able to deal with you here. Now
- 55:26Speaker 1: there's a ton of products on the market, which is great. Yeah,
- 55:29Speaker 1: people celebrate natural hair, but it is and sometimes certain
- 55:32Speaker 1: hair textures are just a lot more difficult to even
- 55:35Speaker 1: try to deal with, like to style and maintain. And
- 55:38Speaker 1: that's why you know I got I got three daughters.
- 55:40Speaker 1: Like I told my daughters all the time, I love
- 55:42Speaker 1: your hair. I love your crown like I love them.
- 55:44Speaker 1: My wife takes day braids out and they got the
- 55:46Speaker 1: big afros running around the house. Plus, there's a lot
- 55:48Speaker 1: of children's books out there that celebrate the beauty of
- 55:52Speaker 1: black hair. Nowadays, you got like my big natural Hair.
- 55:55Speaker 1: But what's her name? I think it's CJ. CJ. Baker,
- 55:59Speaker 1: but didn't have that coming up. I'm saying it's great now,
- 56:04Speaker 1: but I can understand and a lot of women can't
- 56:06Speaker 1: understand the struggles that we've had to go through with
- 56:09Speaker 1: our hair. That's why even having certain products in these
- 56:12Speaker 1: stores now on the shelves and accessible to people is
- 56:14Speaker 1: so important. Hello, Hello boy, Matthew Cherry Slut the Matthew Cherry.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Because a lot of a lot of books out there
- 56:20Speaker 1: that reinforced the beauty of black hair. And if you've
- 56:22Speaker 1: got daughters like I do, I would encourage you to
- 56:24Speaker 1: buy them all. All right now, Regina Hall is going
- 56:27Speaker 1: to be joining Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg and a
- 56:29Speaker 1: new Netflix comedy Me Time. So Night School. The writer
- 56:33Speaker 1: John Hamburg who wrote Night School, was going to write

- 56:39Speaker 1: to be producing it alongside Kevin Hart and Brian Smiley
- 56:42Speaker 1: for Heartbeat Productions. So they announced I'll live this on
- 56:45Speaker 1: social media all right. I'm Angela Yee and that is
- 56:49Speaker 1: your room of reports. All right, thank you, miss Ye,
- 56:51Speaker 1: and let me shout out to everybody that called me yesterday.
- 56:53Speaker 1: Oh wait, yeah, we gotta get into that, because we
- 56:55Speaker 1: didn't even do that. When we were talking about you.
- 56:56Speaker 1: We talked about Kanye's Donda album and how well it did,
- 57:00Speaker 1: and you had some missues with Kanye. You called them
- 57:02Speaker 1: clowns sometimes. I called him a clown and I still
- 57:04Speaker 1: stand by that, and I still mean that send them
- 57:07Speaker 1: healing energy. No, look, I mean I do, but I
- 57:09Speaker 1: still think he's a clown. You can send the clown
- 57:11Speaker 1: healing energy. But so funny now, so when it comes
- 57:14Speaker 1: to so many people call me artists, athletes, OG's newer artist,
- 57:19Speaker 1: younger artists, Kanye's team and ask me why I felt
- 57:23Speaker 1: that way, and I explained to him why I felt
- 57:24Speaker 1: that way, and you know, they asked me, well, why
- 57:26Speaker 1: do you think that the people that I name, which
- 57:28Speaker 1: was push your t John Monopoly are free and Boo
- 57:32Speaker 1: were like that too, because I felt, like I said,
- 57:34Speaker 1: I feel like you enable him to do it, like
- 57:36Speaker 1: you don't stop him from doing the wild out stuff
- 57:39Speaker 1: behind the scenes that I think is really disrespectful. And
- 57:42Speaker 1: he should be humbled. And they told me that that's
- 57:44Speaker 1: a lie. It was like that it's not true. They
- 57:46Speaker 1: was like, when you're dealing with somebody with that has
- 57:50Speaker 1: imaginal problems and bipolar and things like that, you can't
- 57:53Speaker 1: necessarily control them. It's uncontrollable. You do what you can
- 57:57Speaker 1: to make sure that things are right, and they try
- 57:58Speaker 1: to stay in there as a brother. They said, yeah,
- 58:00Speaker 1: they agree some of the things that he does is foul,
- 58:02Speaker 1: but they said they can't control that, man. And I
- 58:05Speaker 1: called them clowns as well, And I called push you
- 58:07Speaker 1: to yesterday. I called Free yesterday and I spoke to
- 58:10Speaker 1: Boo yesterday for a while that I spoke to them, man,
- 58:12Speaker 1: we had great conversations and they told me what they're
- 58:14Speaker 1: trying to do that help that situation. So to those brothers, yes,
- 58:17Speaker 1: I get it, and me calling your clown was foul.
- 58:20Speaker 1: But I still think Kanye, it's a clown for the
- 58:22Speaker 1: things that if you ever had to deal with somebody
- 58:24Speaker 1: who's bipolar and not taking their medication, it is not
- 58:27Speaker 1: an easy thing to do. If you love them, you
- 58:28Speaker 1: try to help and be around, but it is hard
- 58:31Speaker 1: to control a person. I just want to know how
- 58:34Speaker 1: do you explain to your wife that she was on
- 58:35Speaker 1: the phone somebody named Boo for hours? Because as soon
- 58:38Speaker 1: as she says who you're on the phone. When you
- 58:39Speaker 1: say Boo, do you have to explain that this is
- 58:42Speaker 1: his name? Who was always in the middle of time?
- 58:46Speaker 1: That remember he broke up your fight, Charlottagne, we'll fight
- 58:49Speaker 1: ahead and had no fight. Why don't we lie like
- 58:52Speaker 1: this on the radio? A picture of it online? So
- 58:56Speaker 1: I did have with dancing when I was dancing with Booth,
- 59:05Speaker 1: shout shout the bull and shout to Free. I just
- 59:07Speaker 1: speak to Free. Me and Free just yelled at each other.
- 59:09Speaker 1: But spot shout all them individuals that you know, we're
- 59:11Speaker 1: able to tell me their side. And you know when
- 59:13Speaker 1: I tell them, you know when I make mistakes, I
- 59:15Speaker 1: say it, but I still think what Kanye does And
- 59:18Speaker 1: you ain't gonna throw your yeez. He's away though, no
- 59:20Speaker 1: So like so the clown shoes, which ones? Which one?
- 59:28Speaker 1: Some of the MC clowns shoes some of the MC clowns.
- 59:31Speaker 1: The Runners is good money. The Runners is good money.

- 1:00:24Speaker 1: The donkey last club, Yeah donkey Today for Monday, August thirty,
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: first last day of the month, goes to Rodney William Metster.
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Rodney is thirty six years old and he was recently
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: sentenced the twenty five years in prison. Oh. He admitted
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: the fourteen charges, including but not limited to, kidnapping, assault,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: threatening with a handgun, all types of stuff. Why oh
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: why I did Rodney do this? Who did Rodney do this? Too? Well,
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: before we get into that, let me just say that.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: I once heard someone say sometimes you have to fake
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: a suicide to get your girl back. When I heard that,
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: I understood where a person was coming from, because I
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: too have felt like I wanted to make a permanent
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: decision based off temporary feelings back in the day when
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: my now wife broke up with me. I don't know
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: if I really wanted to complete suicide. I just know
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: that I felt like the sky was falling and I
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: wanted my woman back, and I felt like making her
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: feel sorry for me would work. I know, I know
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: toxic is out, all right. Thank God for therapy, growth
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: and healing. Thank you God, Thank you God. Well, this
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: guy Rodney mentions him he definitely needs me healing, okay,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: and he's no different all right. Actually, Rodney, in an
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: attempt to gain sympathy from his ex wife, he jumped
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: out the window because first he faked the cancer diagnosis. See,
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: I don't play like that, all right. You turned out
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: to be what you pretend to be. I'm not playing
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: about having no cancer, okay. Well, according to Sheriff's Office
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office investigators, that plan didn't work. AKA, his wife
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: didn't give a damn Okay. Ex wife probably heard the
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: news and said, I'm gonna send him healing energy and
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: kept her day moving. So Rodney divised another plan, this
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: one even more diabolical than the first. See Rodney Metser
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: decided to devise the plan the kidnap and save his
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: ex wife in a bid to win her back. Listen
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: to what I just said. Rodney mets Her divised the
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: plan the kidnap and save his ex wife in a
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: way to win her back. Now back on January first
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: of this year, I guess Rodney's ex wife was on
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: some New Year and New Me energy and when Rodney
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: tried to get back with her, she denied him. So
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Rodney came up with this plan, the kidnap and safe
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: his ex wife in a bid to win her back.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: But not just to kidnapper, all right. He wanted to
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: kidnapper and save her. Okay, just like a man. Right.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Ladies want to be both the problem and the solution.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: When the reality is, when you toxic like Rodney, you
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: just the problem. But I'm not judging. I'm sending him
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: healing energy. Okay, listen to this story. Rodney broke into
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: his ex wife's house wearing a mask and displaying a gun.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: When he spoke, he described his voice all right. He
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: hit her with the butt of the gun, tried to
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: scramble her two times. He zip tied her hands, assaulted her,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: placed the pillowcase over her head, and dragged her to
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: the deck and told her if she moved from the
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: deck she would be shot. Then Rodney went to change
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: his clothes and came back to his ex wife's house,
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: trying to be hero and called the police. Now, Rodney
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Metris couldn't have denied this if he tried. Evidence in
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: the case was substantial, okay. Cherokee County Sheriff's found the
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: handgun and Metor's apartment, as well as zip ties that
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: matched the one found on his ex wife. Investigators also
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: saw Rodney on surveillance video carrying a package of zip
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: ties out of a local lows all right. Rodney's cell
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: phone in laptop search history, revealed to investigators that he
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: searched such topics as how long before you start to death,
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: how to change the sound of your voice, and how
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: long it takes to choke someone unconscious. I couldn't make
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: this up if I tried. Not granted that, how long
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: before you starve. The death is what most men who
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: lose their wives google because they can't cook, and a
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: man cannot live off Chick fil a alone. All right? Now,
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Da Rachel ashe who prosecuted the case, said Rodney mets
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: her as a master manipulator. I believe that as an understatement.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: And it's also very interesting to me that men will
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: figure out all these ways to get all women back
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: when we lose them. But the one thing we need
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: to do when we are together, it's just act right. Okay,
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: It's really not that difficult. Just simply act right when
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: you together, which said lady, and maybe y'all still be together. Now.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: I know certain circumstances lead you to do certain things,
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: but that woman's intuition at some point kicked in and
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: she realized I got to get away from this human
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: Rodney before his trauma kills the both of us. And
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: guess what you did, Rodney prove her right. Okay, your
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: ex wife was absolutely correct in leaving your ass because you,
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: my friend, are sociopath. Now, Rodney Mitsche has been sentenced
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: by Judge Anthony Anthony Baker the seventy years okay, with
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: the first twenty five years to be served in confinement
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: and the remaining forty five to be served on probation.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: Let me tell ya something, man, when you love something,
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: let it go. If it comes back to you, then
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: it's meant to be all right, it's yours. Nope. But
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: also when you love something, let it go. And if
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: you have to come up with criminal plans to get
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: said thing back, remember the first part, Let it go
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: and let it stay. Go on. Please let mmy may
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: give Rodney Metscher the biggest he are he ha, he ha,
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb? M wow? I think
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: a lie? I mean no, no, we go all out
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: to get up back, but don't go all out to
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: keep it when we together, right, that's ridiculous. Okay, just
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: do right while you're with her and you won't have
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: to put yourself in these type of situations. This is
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: extreme though, I mean, come on, you think yeah, I
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: think it's extremely Man. Now you got to live twenty
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: five years in prison, driving yourself crazy over that woman

- 1:07:07Speaker 1: about Charlomage's don't here the day would you get donkke
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: to Charlemagne? All Rodney meted this guy from Georgia who
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: first he faked cancer, a cancer diagnosis to get his
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: ex wife back. When that didn't work, he divided the
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: plan the kidnap and save her. So he kidnapped her,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: then left the house, came back dressed in some other
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: clothes and called the police and untied her and stuff
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: like he was the hero and how much time he
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: got seventy years twenty five in prison, forty five on
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: herbation goodn'tess gracious? All right? So we're asking, what's the
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: craziest thing you've done to get your girl back or
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: to try to get your girl back? Charlemagne, I mean
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: just fake suicide? Regular? Yeah, I mean that wasn't a
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: fake suicide. I just said I'm gonna kill myself if
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: you're not with me, or something like that, something along
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: those those lines. What about for you, ye, what's what's
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: the craziest thing a guy has done to you? I
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: actually have to get a restraining order. This guy used
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: to my ex boyfriend, used to stop me all the
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: time I would come home. He'd be waiting outside the
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: house as soon as I walked up. He'd be waiting
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: outside my job. It was like everywhere I went. So
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: I ended up having to get a restraining order and
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: we had to go to court. Then he tried to
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: sit next to me in court. I think one of
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: the craziest thing is I think I called my wife's mother. Yeah,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: I called my wife's mother, called my wife's brother before
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: try to talk to them. To them, I thought that
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: was wild. That's not really wild. I'll tell you one thing.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Saying you're gonna commit suicide, thing, don't try that with
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: a woman that's healed and whole, because a woman that's
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: healed and whole is gonna tell you I wish you
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: healing energy. I wish you healing energy, and that don't
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: have nothing to do with me. Don't put that on me.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: Correct and boy, that right there, it'll it'll mean, it'll
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: bring you back to reality. And I've been there. I
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: wrote about it in the book that comes up next year,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: how I felt, what got me to the lowest point
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: where I didn't want to be here anymore. And I
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: take it serious. So when people ever say that they
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: want to commit suicide, I take it extremely serious because
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: you don't know what they're dealing with. You just never know.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: And that's why I said, when you know I was,
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: I said during Dunkey, the day that my homeboy once said,
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: you know you have sometimes you gotta fake suicide to
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: get your girl back, And you know, I don't know
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: if it's a face, because you really do feel like
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: that when you're in that position, you really do feel
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: like if I can't be with this woman, I would
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: rather not be here. Now. That is a I was
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: much way way younger when this, when this happened, and
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: you know, I had a lot of healing that I
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: needed to do on my own. But yes, you do
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: get to that point where you feel that way. Yeah,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: all right, but let's go to the phone. Lies. Hello,

- 1:16:32Speaker 1: her calling your daddy after you hear this r Kelly
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: tarling from you gotta make everything weak because we're about
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: to talk about this. Al let's do it. Listen, gott
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: it's report for Breakfast Club. Well, this r Kelly trial
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: is continuing in Brooklyn, and yesterday the first man who
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: was actually accusing r Kelly took the stand. He's going
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: under the name Lewis, and so what he says happens
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: is that he met r Kelly at a McDonald's and
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: he sexually assaulted him when he was seventeen years old.
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: He said r Kelly invited him over to a music studio,
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: but instead brought him to his house and actually performed
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: earl sex on him. He said, he was working the
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: overnight shift back in two thousand and six at a
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: suburb in Chicago. R Kelly was thirty nine years old
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: at the time, and according to quote Lewis, he said that,
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: you know, he invited him to come to his home
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: in another suburb of Chicago. When he got there, they
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: met in a detached garage where r Kelly had exercised
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: equipment and a boxing ring, rather than in one of
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: the studios that he had in the house. He asked
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: me what I was willing to do for music now.
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: Louis said he would carry his bags and things like that,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: but he said R. Kelly was unreceptive. Then he asked
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: him if he had any fantasies and quoted r. Kelly
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: as in, you never had fantasies about men? I said no,
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: Louis continued, and then he crawled down on his knees
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: and proceeded to give me oral sex. He zipped my
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: pants down and he started doing it. Now. He also
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: said that he didn't have any type of reaction to
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: the oral sex, So I guess R Kelly stopped and
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: he asked him to stop, and then he said he
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: swore Lewis to secrecy he said, don't tell anyone we're
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: brothers now. He said he continued to see r Kelly
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: after that he wanted to be mentored for his music career,
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: and when they asked him why, he continued, you know,
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: he said he just was really trying to make it
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: in the music business. And he said on subsequent occasions,
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: r Kelly would record some of their encounters while he
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: was sexually abusing him, and he asked that he called
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: him daddy. Other women have also testified that r Kelly
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: recorded their sexual encounters and demanded that they call him daddy. Previously,
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: he said as his relationship with him got stronger, he said,
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: I was like a brother, that was his little brother.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: And he tried to bribe another r Kelly accuser so
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: she wouldn't testify against him. So just a lot of
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: different things. And then he also discussed an incident of
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: non consensual sex that involved another person. He said r
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Kelly snapped his fingers and a young lady came out
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: from underneath a boxing ring and crawled over to him
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: and started performing oral sex in both him and r Kelly.
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: He said it was uncomfortable, and he also said another
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: time he passed out from drinking at a party and
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: he woke up alone with r Kelly, unsure whether or
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: not they had a sexual encounter. So this trial is
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: continuing on. Will continue to give you updates as they're
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: in court today as well. But ongoing theme here. He
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: had the women and now this first male sexual accuser
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: who said he was groomed from from the age of seventeen,
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: calling him daddy, recording these sexual encounters wearing people to secrecy.
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: Another woman says that r Kelly assaulted her days after
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: allegedly marrying Aliyah in secret. He said she was seventeen
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: at the time. And you know, she said. R Kelly
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: had two men approach her and her nineteen year old
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: friend after the show, and as the dressing room cleared out,
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: he asked the girls to play a game of who
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: could kiss it better, and then the girls kissed him
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: before he unzipped her pants and had unprotected sexual intercourse
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: at her. How was none of this on TV? I
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: would think that, you know, for all the coverage that
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: you know, given R Kelly and you know, these these
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: these things over the years, that the court trial would
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: be on television, right. I'm not sure why they haven't
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: put it on TV. But we told you previously that
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't allowed in the courtroom right
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: now because of COVID and for whatever other reasons that
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: they have. So it's just the jurors and the alternate
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: jurors that are in there as well. All right now,
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: another drama Summer. Walker and London on the track have
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: had a going back and forth on social media that's
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: really messy, and she has called him the ghetto baby
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: daddy from hell. She went on social media and said,
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: London calling and dming everyone around me because he's blocked
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: talking about If you care about Summer, get that away
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: from her. So if anything happens to me it was
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: him ghetto baby daddy from hell, I'd be minding my
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: business and never call him unless it's about the well
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: being of my child. Here's what else she had to say.
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: Yo was terrorizing me for two years, bro. Because I
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: was with it. I gave him back. I tried as
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: best as I could to keep him involved with his
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: children's lives. Brought you here, didn't even tell you. She
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: didn't even tell you. I was there. He was mad
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: and we talked. I'm like, surely I had no problem
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: with you. I want to be good. Let's you know
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: our kids, they can grow up together. I can't wait
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: till she paris come over to the playroom. Blah blah
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: blah nah. Because she was my baby, daddy, you still
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: wanted to fight. I don't want to fight any you host.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: So she's talking about all the baby moms that she's
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: had to deal with, and she also posted I'd be
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: trying so hard to mind my business. And she said,
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: and come get this car. I don't want nothing from you.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: And this ish ain't even paid for it. I like
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: my car is paid off now. London on the truck
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: responded on social media. He said, it's goofy. He said,
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: it ain't even funny. I really be trying to spare
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: Shorty because I understand her mental health ain't where it
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: needs to be. But the line got to stop calling
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: DM and who for what? Post the current receipts if
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: it's accurate, don't lie. Plus, my new woman ain't going
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: for no issh like that. And then he said about
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: the truck, it's cute too. I'm gonna have some body
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: come get it tomorrow. Put the jewelry in the armrests.
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: I don't want you to have nothing you don't want.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: I ain't going to keep playing with you on this internet.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: You're still making payments. This is just too messy. I
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: don't know if we should even get into all of this.
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: Send healing energy. I'm sending this whole room will report
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: healing energy. Yeah, it's a lot of drama. Jesus Christ
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: all right, And now here's what else Summer Walker have
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: to say to all of London on the tracks his
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: children's mothers. I get absolutely nothing for from these. I
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: was supposed to have my child be married like that
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: said you would new and carry on with my career.
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: Sitlent me. I have no problem with y'all. Bro leaves
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: me alone. Bro, I'm saying, I want to leave me
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: alone alone. Lee ah Man. I'm sending them all healing.
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: I hope so, because really the most important thing is
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: the children, and so right now it's really messy and
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: I know everything is fresh, but hopefully they get to
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: that space where they can co parent peacefully and not
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: have to do with this. Got one more ye to
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: bring the vibe down anything else. I think that's it
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: for now. You know, Times started off telling everybody having

- 1:24:39Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: in the building. This young black woman owns a trucking
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: business that is making millions. She she talks about where
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: she started from, how she got into the trucking business.
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: Casey Cooper. She's the CEO of the Compass Circle. Welcome.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: Thank you so for people that don't know who Casey
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: Cooper is. Who is Casey Cooper and what is your business?
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: I'm Casey Cooper of the Company's Circle. Thank you for
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: that intro I started a trucking company about sixteen years
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: ago and kind of just kept failing forward. Got into
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: heavy hall, wide loads, tall loads, heavy loads, and government contracts.
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: So I've been awarded almost six million dollars worth of
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: government contracts in the last three years. And we teach
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: women own and minority companies how to get access to
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: the same opportunities through government contracts or certifications so they can,
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: you know, grow their business. Yeah, I'm a fan of
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: mwbs because I feel like a lot of people don't
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: take advantage of them and apply for that certification. So
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: can you talk about what that process is like and
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: how you even knew about it? I just really care.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: You know, desire is one hell of a drug. Anything
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: you want bad enough, you will do the research. So
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: I was googling, I was getting with my local procurement office,
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: and kind of once you start getting into that industry
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: and you know, you start getting emails, you start getting
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: invited to like all the happenings. WMB varies in different states,
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: depending on you know what's going on. Of course, everybody's
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: backed up right now, but are gonna want to see
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: like two years of tax returns? They're gonna want to
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: see that you are a legitimate, viable business, so you
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: can get this certification to move forward. Now, how did
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: you get into truck And you're from Virginia Beach, and
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: what fifteen years ago in Virginia Beach when you started
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: this company Virginia Beach. I'm sure it wasn't about trucking,
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: and drugs were heavy and Virginia Beach at the time,
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: a crime was heaving Virginia Beach and partying was heavy
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: in Virginia Beach. There was no Miami back then. We
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: went to Virginia Beach this party. So how did you
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: get into trucking? So when I was stifteen, I had
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: vendom machines and so I would be like fifteen, going
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: to get my dollar bills and go hitting them all.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: So I'm making like four or five start the vendom machines.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: It's not at a fifteen year old. That's not what
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: a fifteen year old does, you know typically, So how
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: did you get into vending machines? How did you get
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: this entrepreneur type of mind? I don't know nobody in
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: my family. My parents are working, middle class, retired people.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: I have no idea. I think it's just from people
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: just telling you no. Like back then, it was no uber,
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: it was no lift, so you had to like get
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: case quarters and use the phone. White Pages picked me up.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: So I became very resourceful and I just I got
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: those machines. It was older gentleman in my neighborhood. He
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: was he had like accounts at the airport, and I
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: convinced him to just rent me to Back then, I
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: was fifteen, so it was quite some time ago, but
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: for twenty five dollars a month for two of them.
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: Back then, I was doing music really heavy, so I
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: put them in the studio. I would go get my
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: money and I was like, set on, I'm not going
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: to be the one making this money. That's how I'm
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: gonna do it. So that was like my first face.
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: I got about twenty five, and I was like, Yo,
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna get me a dump truck. I don't know
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: where it came from. It just popped up in my
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: dump truck. Yeah, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: a millionaire. I'm gonna have this fleet. I'm gonna do this,
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: and it just did not happen that way. I mean,
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: I ended up a millionaire. But so what happened with
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: the business. So, so what was the bad part about
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: the business? You got your first dump truck, and then
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: what happened. The first one was a piece of crap.
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: It was eighty thousand dollars. So the truck that was
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: like twenty two hundred insurance was six hundred at one age,
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: I was like twenty five. So I'm spending six hundred
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: a week on fuel. It was just horrible. It was
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: a piece of crap. It was actually a converted road tractor.
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: Did somebody put a dump body on? So for anybody listening,
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: don't do that. Road tractors are not made to go
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: off road like that. But my mom had co signed
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: for me, so my motivation was like I can't. Yeah,
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: I can't do it. But I was up against a
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: converted road tractor. So I ended up terminating the lease.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: I had to pay like twenty grand to get out
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: of it. And then I just kept buying trucks, buying trucks,
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: buying trucks, got my license, got my twit car, got
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: my escort and pilot's license, and I just kept I mean,
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: I was like failing forward, but I kept going to
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: the next steps escort. You gotta break it down like
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: three year olds. I don't know what escort escort to
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: some people like yes, please, I've come too far. Please.
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: So just like this building, this building is a tall
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: I don't know how many stories, but it was a
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: This was a job to pull together millions of dollars.
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: So I would bring in like the tall beams that
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: actually hold the building up. And so sometimes that stuff
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: is so wide or so tall or so heavy that
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: it's not safe during you know, normal hour. Person that
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: slows down to traffic because that es and you got
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: to take up the Yeah, we have to keep it safe.
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: And sometimes I mean this stuff would be so big
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: we would have to carry it at night like shutdown tunnels.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: It was a whole production. So I think the first
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: time I got the first escort bill was like eleven
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: thousand for the week. I was like, oh Na, who
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: I need to talk to to get my license? My
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: dad got his license, My boyfriend's time got his license.
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: So we were just trying to save money. But I
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: ended up getting into so many other things, so it
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Now I want to get back to
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: these government contracts because you said you've gotten six million
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: dollars what the government, yeah worth the government contracts. You know,
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: a lot of women are eligible, and it gets a
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: little chicy how things get done, because I've heard of
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: stories where like, you know, white women are eligible for
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: this right and so their husband or family member will
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: sign up for something and then they'll get the certification
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: with the woman in the family. But that takes away
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: from all So it's supposed to benefit black people and minorities.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: So can you talk about that whole process and how
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: you manage to get six million dollars almost six million
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: dollars worth of contracts. Yes, So same thing like I
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: was saying earlier. I mean I was just taking all
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: the classes. Everybody's local municipality or state has some kind
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: of pro We had a small Business Administration, yes, and
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: I've taken classes there too, and I got my certification. Okay,
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: but if you don't use it, you can't complain, you
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So even though we don't speak
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: to each other in that language, like I'm not sitting
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: here talking to you about an RFP and rf we
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: just we don't communicate that way. I think it's a
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: little off putting because culturally We're just not introduced to that,
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: and project management is not something that we're really reared on.
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: If our parents did have businesses, they were working in
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: the business, you didn't really see your pops sitting back
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: calling all the shots. So same process. I mean, you
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: just have to get in there, find out what your
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: state has to offer because it's going to vary. I
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: probably have gotten over forty thousand dollars worth of free
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: things business plans. I'm talking about elaborate business plans, employee handbooks,
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: like policies, procedures. Most of us are not walking around
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: with that stuff. But that's what it takes to get to,
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: you know, this apex level. But you have to just
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: really tap into it. The government contracts are there. My
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: first one was about two months after I got registered
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: in stamps. I had no blue what I was doing, like,
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: no clue. I just knew that I had to get
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: the paperwork together. I just had to get it together
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: and I would get I would get a swing. No,
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: I just registered. So www. Dot sam dot gov is
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: the federal government's UM like wheelhouse to register. So once
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: you go in there and you register, which is absolutely
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: free UM, then you're eligible to start looking at contracts,
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: bidding on contracts, so on and so forth. Now I
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: don't recommend if you have no idea, you know, no
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: experience whatsoever, just start bidding. But I was already doing
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: my trucking thing. So I was ten years in by
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: that point. You have a program where you teach people
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: do it all the time. Break that down. So, I mean,
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: there's so many certifications. There's one called the eight A,
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: the letter M, the number eight and the letter A.
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: I'm in that program. This is my fourth year. It's
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: a developmental program for minorities who have disparities. UM that
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: allows you to actually bypass the bidding process. So my
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: five million dollar contract I got because of that certification.
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: I would have never got that opportunity. That easy about
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: that certification. So you know, you have total small business,
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: which most of us are total small business. You have
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: woman owned, economically disadvantaged woman owned hub zone a day.
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: There's a myriad of them. You just have to pick
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: the ones that apply to you and make them work
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: for you. And all this information. By the way, it's free,
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: it's offering and you can go and do these classes.
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: Those class well, you pay for it with your tax dollars.
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: That's what I always say. So you need to make
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: sure you use these resources. And here's the thing to Angelos.
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: So I'm from Virginia, That's where I got all of
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: my training from. In this particular time and setting when
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: I was going after all of these classes. You had
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: to be making two hundred and fifty thousand a year
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: to even get the free government classes. Wow. So let's
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: just say you make seven dollars an hour and you
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: gotta side business. You're able to scrape up you know,
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: sixty thousand growth, you're not even eligible to take the class.
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: So systems are put in place for it to be systematic.
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: It makes no sense. So everybody has, you know, different opportunities.
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: And that's just one. I mean, it's now you have
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: YouTube people on clubhouse talking about government contracts. Fifteen years
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: ago people were not talking about government contracts and body
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: was talking about trucking serio. People get rich off of that.
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: Oh I'm done very well. Yeah, there's companies that can
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: go from being a small company oh yeah, a multimillion
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: dollar company. Oh yeah. And then at that point you
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: have to decide, because if you're making thirty thousand a year,
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: you don't really know what it's like to be in
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: charge of seven millions. So each way I thank God
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: for now. Even now I'm like, I don't want to
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: grow my company to one hundred million dollars. That's not
