Speaker 3 (02:42):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news, Morgan.
We'll be breaking everything down and don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Good morning morning, everybody's dj NV just Hilarius, Charlamagne, the God.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Good morning, Morgan, good morning.
Speaker 10 (03:00):
And Charlemagne God and Jess hilarious. All right, let's get
into it. So a federal judge is declining a request
from fourteen attorneys general to temporary block, temporary, to temporarily
ban Elon Musk from accessing data at seven federal agencies
fourteen states as a as for a restraining order to
block Musk doze a Department of Government efficiency from firing
(03:22):
employees and gaining access to sensitive records.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Now.
Speaker 10 (03:24):
The group of attorneys general argued the power granted to
Musk by President Trump is unconstitutional. However, the judge said
the AG's hadn't shown specific examples of how doge would
cause irreparable harm to the states.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I guess we have to wait and see.
Speaker 10 (03:39):
But President Trump and the first friend, Elon Musk, they
took part in a joint interview on Fox last night.
Trump credited Musk with implementing many executive orders he has
signed since taking office. Again, Trump said that a lot
of his executive orders will be ordered into law, and
he said Musk works with his group at DOGE, who
he referred to as geniuses to get things done. Elon
(04:01):
also expressed his affection for the president, and here's what
he had to say.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
If you really didn't believe the media, become one of
your best friends.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He's working for free for you, the president. I just
want to be care about that.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I don't care about that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I know, I love the I love the President.
Speaker 11 (04:15):
I think I think President Trump is a good man
and he's you know, I've.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Said what he said that you know there's something that
I said that it really is.
Speaker 11 (04:24):
You know, because I mean, the President has been so
unfailure attacked in the media.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's truly outrageous.
Speaker 11 (04:32):
And I've spent at this point, spent a lot of
time with president and not once have I seen him
do something that was mean or cruel or or wrong.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I really don't understand how how what you know he's
being allowed to do with constitutional or legal like why
does an unelected person have that type of power?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Like over twelve thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Federal workers fired, they fired and then tried to rehire
nuclear weapons works as workers accidentally fired people at the
USDA working on flu like.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
What happened to America? First, you have a foreigner in
control of people's money and livelihood.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
How is that? Okay, hmmm, talk about it.
Speaker 10 (05:08):
So Musk went on to say that the assassination attempts
on Trump in July only sped up the process of
him endorsing Trump and speaking from mar Largo, Trump called
Musk a patriot, So let's hear those comments.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Elon is to me a patriot.
Speaker 11 (05:21):
So you know, you could call him an employee, you
could call them a consultant, you could call them whatever
you want, but he's a patriot.
Speaker 10 (05:28):
So there has been a lot of hoopla around this
whole doze thing about who's in charge. So the White
House has recently said that Elon Musk is not in
charge of the Department of Government Efficiency. That's according to
a recent court document filed. The filing, signed by the
Director of the Office of Administration at the White House,
says Musk has no actual or formal authority to make
government decisions himself.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I know.
Speaker 10 (05:50):
President Trump has made public statements saying that Musk is
leading DOGE. So it's very controversial and it's you know,
we're trying to figure it out. So the affidavit says
that Musk is a special government employee and serves as
a senior advisor to the president.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Furthermore, in that uh that I can.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Say, I'm not five to six A but you got
eyes right, You're not five six, You're like five to two.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Is there any good.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
You just the people talking?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I think this is really funny.
Speaker 10 (06:19):
So Hannity, Trump and Musk also spoke about X, the
app formerly known as Twitter, and how X recently paid
Trump ten million dollar judgment. You know, he had that
lawsuit out against him, but you know it added that
Musk got that had to cut that check. Basically, Musk
got a huge he said. Trump said, Musk got a
huge discount and he doesn't even realize it. Of course,
the president sued the social media app before Musk got it.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
And they all paying they tithes and offerends of Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
ABC.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
You know, paramount about to pay day tithes and offerings
to Facebook Guardy paid they tithes and off they all
any tithes and offerends of Trump.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
So Furthermore, in that interview, Musk also said that he
felt that the president isn't being wrapped represented and that
the will of the people. If the president isn't being represented,
then the will of the people isn't being represented. So
speaking of the will of the people. In San Francisco, California,
I think this is an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Guys.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
Officials are investigating three men who claim to be from
the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE. Authorities say that the
men went to city hall wearing DOZE shirts and MAGA
hats and demanded records from several offices and employees. The
men demanded digital information related to alleged wasteful government spending
and fraud. City hall employees refused their requests and called
the police. Then the men fled the city before deputies arrived,
(07:33):
and the Sheriff's office says it does not believe the
men were actually representatives of DOSE.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So all that does is encourage this type of behavior.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
Having someone who is not like you said, and government official,
someone who has not been elected but seems to be
leading the country.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
We call them the first front.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
First, all I know is if you run on the
economy man, and you know within three weeks, you know,
twelve dolland people have lost their job, that's never a
good thing. I want to salute the five Well five
W one movement. They're the organization that led the protests
on Monday. They had fifty protests in fifty states and
they were protesting against you know, Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
And that was on Monday, and.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
I mean there was literally, you know, thousands of protesters
all across the country. So drop on a clues bond
for them.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Sorry, that's your front page news for six a m.
At seven am, we'll talk about more with Elon Hunt
and uh, I guess we would call it a foreign
affairs and what's going on overseas and how that whole transport,
how all of that transpires.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
And then we'll also get into some aviation news and updates.
So I'll keep you guys.

Speaker 9 (14:08):
Over it.
Speaker 19 (14:09):
It's been seven years. I beat him in a rap
battle seven years ago.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
He has not let it go.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Baby, You gotta let that go.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
He really ain't let that hurt go. He's been hurt
ever since you busted his ass in that rap battle.
I'm not gonna lie to you, trap. Listen, happened in
real life? You ever busted somebody ass like physically like
you just you just you know, pounded him out and
they couldn't get.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Back.
Speaker 19 (14:29):
Around that time, he was threatening me right like like
real life, trying to pretten me. And I told he
clear didn't know who I was. And I told him, so,
I'm gonna be at dj Envy's car show. And I
told him to come up the enemy's car show. I'm
gonna whoop his ass show.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It's a kid.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
It was gonna be in the parking lot.
Speaker 19 (14:47):
Vy, you don't want to know me and my cousins
were going to trash him in that parking.
Speaker 4 (14:51):

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Damn Seane, Damn y're bothing.

I was gonna say, damn, he gotta beat by budget crazy,
but don't be bringing to my car show.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
We're gonna be in the parking lot. I already nobody
want to know. There's worse things you could have did
this after and beat it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So I'm trat.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Bye, y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Hello, who's this top of the morning? This is fab
what's but get it off your chest?
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Well, I mean, the only thing I want to say is, uh,
there's a lot going on in the climate, the culture
and everything. I just want to say, uh, simply that
as an American who is black. I voted for Donald Trump,
born in Harlem, raised just stout you making queens. I'm
proud of what he's doing. And also as a proud
Black American, I want to say that our group is
(15:46):
not making the progress we want to due to a
lack of patriotism. We are leading with a physiological hatred
for white people who we share the same country with.
Speaker 16 (15:57):
Me.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
It's one thing to have an argument about things that
took place in the past and want to make it right,
but it's another thing to hate your own land and
country that you cannot be deported from and expect the
best from it. So we have to be Americans first.
Black is second. We got to I don't want to
say it like that, but we just got to bring
(16:18):
more patriotism. You know, we got to support America. We
are Americans first and foremost, so that means that, you know,
we belonged to a greater dominant.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Cultural Groupes CAUs your question because I do believe America first.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
How do you feel about a foreigner being in control
of where the government spends money and a foreigner, you know,
being responsible for twelve thousand American federal workers being laid
off and when you talk about you know, you know
what you say, you said you gotta be be black
put back to the patriotics. Well, I mean I wish
that you know, you would tell you, you know, your
your your administration, that you voted for that, because you know,
(16:57):
when you look at things like the EEOC being dismantled,
are you look at how they're rolling back you know
DEI initiatives? Are you look at the Education Department cutting
race based programs?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
And yes, And that's a great question. I'm glad you
brought that up, and I want to answer that as
a natural born, foundational black American, we want those things.
You see, we tend to associate what's the word I'm
looking for, We tend to associate corruption with this white face.
But over these last twelve years, throughout the Obama administration
(17:30):
and everything, black people have had their chances. We have
been coming in positions of leadership, overseeing many different states,
from mayoral positions to political positions.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Even presidencies.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And it is shown that black people are just as
prone to corruption as well if you look at different
majors who are the city. So we got to stop
associating that.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
It's not about it but I don't understand what I
don't understand last.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Point, last point, last quick point. You said, what about
a foreigner? Okay, so America is a land of the brave,
home of the free. Many foreigners here. It's not about
where you're from, it's about your mindset on America. If
a foreigner has a positive mind state about American left
this plan and want to put it first, and that's fine.
But if a foreigner like ilean Omar, somebody like that,
(18:16):
is representing another country while in our Congress we elect
people that want to represent us. All Americans, Black Americans,
white Americans, people who are probably be Americans ain't no
more waiving another flag in this country. And black people
have to stand up and take ownership and pride of
this land that they helped build and beat Black Americans
(18:40):
and sharing that we don't have to hate white people
and teach our children.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
I don't like these generalizations that you making, Like I
don't know who told you that all black people hate
white people?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Like where did you get this logic from?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Y'all got this conversation behind the scenes because we got
to go get it off your chest.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Broad generalization came from.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Five eight five one oh five one. If you need
to vent, you can get it up now. We got
just with the mess coming up. What we're talking about
speaking of freedom and letting it bring.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Is not goofyak yes, because he was preaching brothers.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
She's the coaching ship.
Speaker 14 (19:42):
She was able to get y'all to see something and
understand something that nobody could get you to see.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That's time to set it off.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
I'm happy that a SAP is free. That's another black
man who can be home with his family, like you know,
he's got them two.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Kids, that wife.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
We might get an album from Rihanna, you know, yeah,
her man just beat twenty four years.
Speaker 13 (20:03):
I feel like we're not gonna get the album now
because he just because they're gonna be busy.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Did you what did that say about asad Rocky is
a rabbit that y'all want to hear from his wife,
but not him.
Speaker 16 (20:13):
Y'.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I mean, Sugar put him on the album.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
I want to.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I want to Rihanna album because they found that.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
It's been ten years for re Rito, so I love
people want an album. I mean, I ain't never gonna
stop wanting that.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
I do love her.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I like her.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Well, yes, now we can focus back on her now
that this man is free.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I mean, let me tell you.
Speaker 13 (20:31):
Listen, yesterday, so Asap Rocky was found not guilty. Yesterday
in court, he was found not guilty of all charges. Uh,
so he's gonna walk free. And the minute that the
verdict was read, y'all talking about Rihanna just to his family,
and it went crazy. Let's take a listen, b A
five is zero.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Eight one or two.
Speaker 21 (20:51):
That's zero way we luxury above the time of actually
find the defendant ROCKI mayors guilty.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I loved that.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
Yo.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
He jumped over that that bench in Rihanna's arms.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Huh.
Speaker 13 (21:13):
There were reporters in the court back in Qunif. She
said that actually Rihanna was in tears that they read
the verdict and when he jumped over and hugged her,
and his family was in tears as well too.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
They had no safer place to beat. In those women's
arms he dived into four years.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Four years.
Speaker 13 (21:28):
Yeah, and that happened pretty fast. I know it probably
didn't feel fast for Rocky or for Rihanna.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
For his family.
Speaker 13 (21:33):
But fourteen days they went to deliberations yesterday came back
at the end of the day. It was around like
eight o'clock when the jury came back with the not
guilty and yeah, he was facing he was accused of
firing gun at his former friend Asap Brelly, so he
was looking at some time. Now, people though, aren't asking
what happens because okay, so on one side you have
(21:54):
ACEPS attorney who's like he lied on the stand a lot.
So what are we gonna do about this? Let's take
a listen to Joe Tachapina, Asap Rocky's attorney after court.
Speaker 22 (22:01):
We're grateful for the jury they saw through this barrage
day they won.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
He was innocent.
Speaker 22 (22:08):
He turned down a plate for almost no jail time
because he was innocent.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This was an extortion.
Speaker 22 (22:13):
The extortion played out live in color in court. What
it says is that the district attorneyship looked long and
hard at prosecuting Pyrel Frock. We said that from day
one they should do it. Now they have them admitted
to perjury. They have a committed assortion destroy stowed through
it and came through it the enormously quick as screeny
verdict for me, my partner Chad where honored have represented
this amazing family. Kim Rockey is one of my closest friends,
(22:37):
but he's also just a great, great person.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
They said, Joe probably get charge of perjury.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
He should, that's what they're pushing for many extortion.
Speaker 13 (22:50):
There's a few moments on the stand where he had
said things and then it was debunked and it was
a lot that happened. But also to Raley had found
that thirty million dollar defamation loss against Asas. That was
first that was it was like after the shooting, but
it was before the criminal started. Yes, yes, and that's
gonna have to be thrown out because he was alleging
that because of the shooting and because of the statements
that ace acept Rocky's attorney was making, he was being defamed.
(23:13):
He was being threatened online. And now you know in
the court of law, you were. It was found that
this didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
They could prove he lied on the stand. He should
have to be prosecuted.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He should be prosecuted because there's no way that Asap
Rocky has to pay for attorney fees, has to do
all these different things.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And somebody who lies on the stand just walks not.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Knew who Asap really was this situation and so now
it's just like that's what you're known for, you know,
for somebody who couldn't even rat.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Right, and I know even she got shot now real,
I mean, just yeah, he was lying.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Well do we really do?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
What should happen?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Yeah, well, congratulations of asap Rocky. My advice to never
leave the house ever again. Okay, but I can't happen.
Don't communicate with any n words after five PM. Situations
like this, though, is you get to really see who's who.
I'm sure over the last however many years has been
he's got to see who was like really in his corner.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
So s luthor U asap rocket.
Speaker 13 (24:06):
Yep, Yes, he's getting to his family, moving on a
CARDI be girl.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
So I said that that Stephan was keeping her busy.
She decided that to tweet about Offset when she got
to it.
Speaker 13 (24:18):
Yeah, well you asked yesterday did she respond? Did she
because you know she'll get online now listen, she didn't.
She didn't say offsets name in this tweet, but of course,
and she deleted the tweet. But we know what this
is given. So yesterday, after we reported about her amazing
Valentine's a weekend CARDI got on Twitter and she tweeted,
I'm getting harassed the worst way. I suggest you shut
up and leave me alone. In less than one hour
(24:39):
or people's careers will be getting ruined, including including this
in all caps, you famous bees that was getting ft
leave me alone. Now, we don't know who she is
claiming it's harassing her, but what the fans you know,
have gathered from this is that this is in response
to her being out and about having a good time
and it being picked up that she was out about
having a good time with us Stephan Diggs over the weekend,
(25:01):
and that the person that she is talking to on
Twitter is OFFSET because she does that often when they're
going back and forth. So, I mean, the tweet was
deleted and no one's gotten exposed, so I'm assumed that,
you know. Thirty five minutes into the hour, he realized,
let me just she said.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
All you famous girls, that was getting Yeah, I guess
you know, she said. She look at her and.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Put his hand on his hip when he said that
Cardi do it. I don't want to know what all said, hitless,
look like all at the head. We'd like to live
by cash. Leave to the young boys, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I see.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
They got kids together. I want to be able to
work it out and be able to still, you know,
move on.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
But I don't want to. I don't want, even though
I'm happy Cardi is doing her own thing, only because
you still got raised kids, don't.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I don't want.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
I mean, I don't want Carti to do that because
even though she's out doing her own thing, and I
understand how she feels about off set, they still got
raised some kids together, got kids.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
It's a lot, you know what I mean?
Speaker 13 (25:59):
Why the extra Nama girl.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Just but but he keep on like poking at her though,
like he's poking that. Ever since he's been seeing her
out having fun, moving on whatever with whoever, it is,
like he had been poking. Yeah, he's been trying to Yeah,
and even dragging his nuts all over you know what.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
I mean her, Yeah, she could do that.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Put the molds up, I mean, put them bitches out there.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
But that's just gonna make all set look good depending
on who the girls.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
No, it's not.
Speaker 13 (26:35):
Because depending on how close they are to her industry wise,
like if they in her vicinity too much, you're gonna
look crazy because your wife is crazy.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Me he do.
Speaker 13 (26:41):
Wasn't whole her down.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I just pray somebody can get in between and and
be like, look, we got kids, Like the kids can
see this. Everything is online right now, let's work this out.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Queen.
Speaker 13 (26:49):
It's tired.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
Envy, they tired.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, I don't like seeing their drama play out online. Man'
luth at cardy. I hope that you'll figure it out.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Put it in a music. You can tell me, just
text me, let me by casually through that.
Speaker 22 (27:14):
For real?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Right, I could see that one all right?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah, that's just with you, man SR.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
When we come back, we got Front Page News and
then Will Packer will be joining us.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, you're checking out the
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Hoping everybody is dj NVY just hilarious charlamage the gud
We are the breakfast club.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Listen, what's up we're talking about. We're getting updates on
what's happening in aviation. You see left and right, there's
all kinds of incidents. So nearly three hundred Federal Aviation
Administration employees have been fired by the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
The employees got their notices over the.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
Weekend and a move to call their union in a
move their union calls a hastily made decision and an
agency already challenged by understaffing. Now the workers affected include mechanics,
aviation safety assistants, and others.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
On Monday on x that less than four hundred of
the agency's forty five thousand employees were let go and
they were all probationary. He said none of them were
air traffic controllers and critical personnel. Now this comes at
the same time officials say two people remain hospitalized following
Monday's plane crash in Toronto. Twenty one people were injured
in the incident at Toronto Pearson Airport and airport president
(28:35):
Deborah Flint said the rescue operation was a huge success.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
She talked more about the incident. Let's hear from her.
Speaker 21 (28:41):
Urgency workers and responders mounted a text book response, reaching
the site within minutes and quickly evacuating the passengers. At
the time, there were twenty one injured passengers, ranging from
miner minor to critical but not life threatening injuries. A
total of night eighteen passengers went to the hospital local hospitals,
(29:03):
with two more going to hospitals in the time period
after we have completed the reunification process for all of
the remaining passengers.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
So the Regional Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis was carrying
eighty people aboard. Official safe first responders and the plane's
crew of course, like she mentioned, issued a executed a
textbook response and the plane will remain on the scene
at the airport for the next forty eight hours as
investigators continue to look into the cause of the crash.
I know that there has been rumors that there was
a wind gust, and then also now that video has
(29:34):
been released, it seems like some of them landing gear
could have been compromised.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But again, we'll keep you posted.
Speaker 10 (29:38):
I don't want to get too ahead of myself in
regards to what caused that crash.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, it was anna ask, they said. In the video
you can see the plane actually catches on fire as
soon as it lands. So they don't know what the reason.
Was it emergency landing or it was just a regular
did they say?
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Still not to yet again they.
Speaker 10 (29:52):
From what I've heard so far is that the landing
up until the point of impact was pretty normal, really yeah,
and then there was it was almost like all of
a sudden, they were on their side and then upside down.
So again, it does appear if you look at the
video like the landing gear may have been compromised or
one of the wheels of the plane, which could have
also catered to the barreling of that plane. So well,
(30:15):
again I don't want to get too ahead of myself,
but they are investigating the cause of the crash, and
I will keep.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
You guys posted.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
So in foreign affairs, President Trump is blaming Ukraine for
starting the war.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Now.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Speaking for mar A Lago, Trump said he thinks he
has the power to end the war and he thinks
it's going very well. But he heard, oh well, we
weren't invited, and well, he went on to say, well,
you've been there for three years, adding you should have
you shouldn't have started it, and you could have made
a deal. He's referencing Ukraine. He's talking about President Ukrainian
President Zelenski. So this comes as the first piece talks
(30:47):
between the US and Russia have in the Russian.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
War in Ukraine are done.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
Secretaries of State mark Or Rubio and other US officials
met with a Russian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
He says the US one to move quickly with the
peace talks in the Russia Ukraine War. Let's hear more
from a Secretary of State Marco Rubia.
Speaker 23 (31:05):
We're going to appoint a high level team from our
end to help negotiate and walk work through the end
of the conflict in Ukraine in a way that's enduring
and acceptable to all the parties engaged. We're going to
point our teams respective their work very quickly to re
establish the functionality of our respective missions in Washington and
in Moscow. For US to be able to continue to
(31:26):
move down this road, we need to have diplomatic facilities
that are operating and functioning normal.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 10 (31:31):
I think it's a little counterintuitive that Rubio is overseas
having these peace talks while Trump is at home talking about, yeah,
you should have started a deal and blaming Ukraine for
starting a war that you know they were once invaded
side by.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
The way, that's insanity though, Like you know, you can't
have peace talks if you don't have both countries that
sabea like that basically means like you know, you've given
Russia whatever it is that they want, yep, and you're
deciding you're deciding Ukraine's feed for them.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
That's right, So ukraining him for President Zelensky, he did
say that his government didn't know anything about the talks,
and he said that he will not accept a peace
deal that is made without his country's involvement.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Fair enough, switching gears to me.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Said, I don't believe that he won't accept something.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
If there's a deal that's made, you know, and it
brings peace to the country, I don't think that he,
you know, will not accept it just because he wasn't
at the table, because I.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Mean, what if it is a good deal. I don't
know if it will be, but what if it is yeah.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Fair enough and switch In just this last little story
I thought was really interesting because we're always talking about,
you know, who could be president?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Who could be next? Steven A. Smith?
Speaker 10 (32:35):
He is considering running for president kind of. I won't
get too much into the semantics of it. Let's just
listen to this audio.
Speaker 24 (32:41):
Although I have absolutely positively no desire to be a politician,
because shaking hands and kissing babies ain't my thing, being
a professional beggar looking for donors, looking for campaign dollars,
looking for elected officials to try to curry favor with
them so I can get what I want legislatively and beyond.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Although I have no desire to do any of those.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Things, I do have an insatiable desire one day, when
I'm more qualified, as I really dig my heels into
this stuff, to be on a stage debating presidential candidates
for the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And in order to do that, I would have to
be a candidate. What do you guys think about that?
Speaker 10 (33:19):
He may not be the ideal candidate, but it further
speaks to your point, Charlemagne, that maybe the non traditional
politicians are actually in demand.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
What do you think, you know the Washington Post called
me about this yesterday, man, and you know, I'll repeat
what I said. That's just Stephen A is a great
media personality. I respect who he is and that s
face tremendously. I hope ESPN makes him the highest paid
person at the network because he deserves it. But when
it comes to him being president, Look, you never know
what God has planned for a person. But I have
to say the fact that the media is entertaining this conversation,
(33:49):
the fact that I've seen politicians asked about this, shows
how unserious we are.
Speaker 10 (33:55):
That's the whole conversation that he's having. He's saying people
are coming up to him actually saying it to him,
or even a president. So he's saying, where are we
as a country if whatever sport's broadcaster is being considered
running for president.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Comes Well, what happened was one of Donald Trump's old
posters actually put his name in a poll and like
he came back with like two percent of the people
said that they would vote for him.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
I think that was done purposely.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I think it was done to be a distraction, and
I think that you know, when I saw Hakim Jeffries
asked about it, and I wish Hakim didn't even entertain.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
It because they're a big offisher fry.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Like you know we talked about earlier, twelve thousand federal
workers laid off because of Elon Musk unelected. You know,
official controls, how the government pays everybody. With Elon Musk again,
social security will probably be on the chopping block next
all because this country decided oligarky is better than democracy.
So I got mad love with Steven as a media personality,
but entertaining a conversation about him being president at a
(34:51):
time like this, it's just so unserious, crazy, it's such
a distraction.
Speaker 10 (34:55):
Maybe not him, but you do you think that non
traditional politicians should somebody should step up, non tradition someone The.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Only non traditional, the only, yes, the only non traditional
person that I would love to see in that field
is John Stewart.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Literally, everybody, we got to get back to business. I
don't want to got the knowledge base.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't want to see no more celebrity in chiefs
and let John Stewart desire if he wants to take
a real stab at it.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I don't want to see no celebrity in chiefs, all right,
No celebrity and chiefs. No more first buddies. All right,

Speaker 2 (36:10):
I'm up here with one of the most incredible platforms
in media right now. Interesting time in media, you know media,
ebbs and flow. We're in an EBB right now. In
the movie business, Charlottagne. You know, yeah, just you know,
coming off the strikes, coming off of COVID, like, the
movie industry never really recalibrated. So there's a lot of
folks out there that are hurting right now, a lot
of folks that aren't working, out of actors, out of work, writers,
and so as a producer, you know, I'm just trying
(36:33):
to keep people hired, trying to do what I do
and create content. Most people out there, they don't realize
because there's so much content out there and so many
streaming services. It's like, oh, it's everything out there. I
can see whatever I want. But actually the.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Media companies are making a lot less. So it's interesting
time in the business man.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
Who better than You is the name of the book?
What makes you decide to write this?
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yo?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
You know, I have been in the movie game for
almost thirty years now, and I have dealt with some
of the biggest names, some of the most impressive successful people,
some of the most toxic, insecure people, and throughout that process,
I have gained a set of skills that I want
(37:13):
to share with people about how you can be successful
and manifest the more full life, how you can use
some of the skills that I've learned that are transferable
to any industry to navigate be it. You want to
start a new endeavor, you want to overcome a challenge,
you want to pivot in your life. And so I'm
telling stories I've never told before, stories from dealing with
(37:35):
you know, some of my Hollywood folks.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
But it's really lessons, right, it's lessons.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
About this is how you deal with people, how you
position yourself to succeed, and how.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
You have healthy arrogance. Now to be confused with toxic arrogance.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Right, Toxic arrogant walks in the room and says, I'm
better than everybody here.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I'm gonna win because you're gonna lose. Right, I'm better
than you.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Healthy arrogance walks in a room and says, okay, number one,
I belong in this room.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The most successful people feel that they don't feel like
am I supposed to be here with all these important people.
Healthy arrogance feels like I'm supposed to be here. However,
I also have something to add to this room. This
room is better because I'm in it, and I'm going
to get other people to understand how they and I
have a commonality in terms of our goal. If you
can get other people to see the value in what
(38:24):
you're going after, then you can then get them to
row in the same direction as you and work towards
your own goal. That's what leadership is, getting other people
to realize that it's not me against you. If I
can get you to understand that together we both benefit
from working together and accomplishing things that are my goals
as well as your goals, your chance for success is increased.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
You know, when I read about you talk about healthy
arrogance or hear your interviews about healthy arro against it
feels like you're saying you just got it.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
It's like a sense of worthiness. It's value.
Speaker 16 (38:55):
It is.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
It is very much understanding the value to place on yourself, right,
Charlotte Man, Because you talk about mental health a lot, we.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
All have this drum beat in our head, right.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
It can be a negative drum beat of I'm not ready,
I'm not worthy, I don't have the skills, I'm not prepared.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
More and more you tell yourself that, the louder those
voices get.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
But there's a confidence muscle that you can build that
you can grow by telling yourself the exact opposite that
I am worthy, right, that I am prepared, But it's
really about assigning value. The thing I say to people
is that understand, from the time you are born and
to the time you leave this earth, you are building
your brand everything you do, right, I mean, you can't
make mistakes.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Everybody does.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
But every decision you make in everything you do is
building your brand, and it is telling people what value
to assign to you. Whether that's somebody that is looking
to invest in you, looking to date you, looking to
just hang out with you, you are telling them what
your value is. And you have to be healthily arrogant
in the way that you force other people to recognize
(39:56):
your value.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Damn. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
So if you don't have nobody, that means you know,
we're well, you know, I'm not gonna say that. You
mean like a relationship, Well, that just means that you
have to be sure that you're surrounding yourself with people
that understand your value. It might mean that you're worth
more than people want to give you credit for talking about.
It might mean you're single because other people don't recognize
your value and you're not willing to compromise for you
(40:21):
have something.
Speaker 8 (40:21):
To say latte.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
What dog won't they.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Coming this way? The sassiness caught me off. God, is
that what it is? Are you with your hair back?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I was asking you a question because I like what
you're talking about. Okay, all right, well, yes, absolutely so
if some you know, somebody happens to be an amazing,
beautiful single sister. I don't know you know the relationship
status of everybody here, but let's just say present company.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Why Well, because she said you had a sassy.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Next, so she is. She is immediately the most entertaated
person at this.
Speaker 13 (41:06):
I want to ask you about imposter syndrome. Yeah, and
when did that? Like, when did you get past that?
Where did you deal with that at all?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Yourself?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I absolutely deal with everybody deals with Everybody gets to
a point where they feel like, yo, do I belong right?
Do I deserve to be in the most important spaces?
And I've been very, very fortunate to be in some
incredible rooms with some people that are, you know, some
of the most powerful people from around the world. As
I said, what I realize is that when I'm walk
(41:32):
in those rooms, I cannot question if I'm supposed to
be there. I need to realize what is it that
I have that nobody else in this room has? And
how can I double down on that?
Speaker 6 (41:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (41:45):
So black man, African American, Film, American, Hollywood, not a
lot of folks at my level in the rooms that
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Oftentimes it's all white people in those rooms.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
What I choose to do instead of saying, Okay, I'm
the only black person in this room.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
I know they race, i know they're looking at me
a certain way. I know they have a negative perception.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
I'm walking in the room and I'm thinking, Okay, you
know what, I'm bringing something that nobody else can bring.
When I talk about my perspective, when I talk about
my audience, when I talk about my community, nobody else
can debate me on that because I'm the only one
with that lived experience. Whatever it is in the rooms
and the circles that you're in, what's the unique thing
that you have, and then you triple down on that
that will help with that imposter syndrome. The other thing
(42:24):
is that you have to understand, like you don't have
to be somebody that's just born with like an overabundance
of confidence.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
It's something that you can.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Build, but you do have to build it by putting
a success with a success with a success, right Like
just like hey baum deg said, check with a check,
with a check, you got to build the successes. And
sometimes to do that you got to come back and
not say, Okay, my first success has to be so big, right,
just accomplish something. I call it fabricating momental. I believe
(42:52):
that sometimes we get stuck on the first rung, the
very first thing I'm trying to get started. I don't
have any money, I don't know people, don't have a network. Okay, right,
doyn't make the first thing you're trying to do to
climb the mountain.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Right, that's a lot. That's a momentous task.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Make the first thing by the shoes hiking boost, then
buy a rope, then drive by the mountain and look
at it. Well, you know you've done three things right,
Get started. Do something that helps to build that confidence
we all need that.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
We got more with Will Packer when we come back.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
His new book Who Better Than You, The Art of
Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, is out now is the
Breakfast Club, Good morning morning, everybody is dej envy just hilarious.
Charlamagne thea God we are the Breakfast Club. We're still
kicking it with Will Packer.
Speaker 8 (43:35):
Lauren, you have a chapter in the book.
Speaker 13 (43:36):
I think it's chapter twenty Yeah, chapter twenty one. All
you Need is one white guy. Yeah, get into that
chapter a little bit, because I know you just mentioned
being the only in the room and kind of dealing
with that, like talk to us a bit of putting
that chapter in why and kind of what your experience
has been and why you titled it.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Yeah, the chapter Sometimes all you need is one white guy.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
And it's actually the irony of it is that I'm
saying that what you need is an advocate.
Speaker 6 (43:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Everybody he does nobody.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
I don't care who they are, how successful they are,
nobody does it by themselves.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
What I'm saying is that your person may not be white,
may not be a guy.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
Right.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
And so when I came into Hollywood, there was a
white executive. It was a white gay executive. He used
to tell me that he felt like he was trapped
in the body of a black woman. I said, okay,
his name was Clint Culpepper. I said, Clint, first of all,
don't tell nobody else that executive all and can get
you some therapy to unpack that. But he was somebody
that was an advocate. He was he didn't play spakas.
(44:32):
He didn't he didn't go to FAM you or nothing
like that. But what I said was he wanted to
make movies that were aimed at African American culture, and
I was interested in me an African American storyteller. I
made him look good to the studio and so he
then in turn gave me more power and more movies.
Remember that advocacy is a two way street. Oftentimes we
(44:54):
have our hands out. I need somebody to help me.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
What can you do for me?
Speaker 2 (44:58):
The best way to get help and the best way
to find your advocate? Right, your quote unquote one white guy.
I don't care what it looked like. It could look
like Charlotte Mane could look like just it doesn't matter.
The point is to get that one person. You gotta
add value to them, make them look smart, figure out
what it is that they need, and then once you
were able to help them, they're gonna want to continue
(45:20):
to help you. Right, This guy wanted to make movies
that were similar to the ones I made. I made
them look smart because I was able to make them
for a certain number and they overperformed in terms of
their budget. And so we made a bunch of movies together. Right,
But you gotta figure out that person that you need.
You gotta find that one person. Nobody does it by themselves.
And whatever that person is, figure out how you can
add value to their lives.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
Don't just think about what can you do for me?
What can you do for me?
Speaker 2 (45:43):
No, that's not how the people at the top level thing.
Did he get out your way? Did he let you create?
Or he absolutely did? Yeah, and it became a very
semiotic relationship. It was a two way street, right, So
he was he went out and got financing from Sony
Pictures for the movie someone Early like if you look
at my think a Man's no good deeds, obsessed Takers.
Anybody remembers those movies? Those are all movies that open
(46:04):
number one at the box off. Those are movies that
I made when I was at Sony Pictures. And these
are movies that he financed. But our very first one
he gave it was called The Gospel, right, the Gospels,
gospel music movie. It had Start it Yourself was Interest's
first movie off the wire. Boris Kojo had all the
gospel stars in it, from Kirk Franklin, Elina Adams, Fred Hamill, everybody.
He gave me a budget to go out and do
(46:27):
that movie totally on my own. I did not go
spend the money frivolously, and I did not go spend
the money and not return it. I went out spent
that money on a three million dollar movie and it
made fifteen million dollars. It's not all the money in
the world, but that's five times what they spent on it.
So he looked good at the studio and so they said,
(46:48):
oh that's great. Who is this guy that you're working with.
Clinty said, oh, yeah, that's my guy. We want to
make something else, and he continued to feed me as
I continue to make him look good.
Speaker 7 (46:57):
Now, your book is motivational and inspirational, right, but it
leans on comedy too. You love comedy because the interesting
thing is the back the quotes you got quick quotes
from Kevin Isa, Kerry Washing.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
What made you do that?
Speaker 2 (47:12):
It just quote is that I did not authorize Will Packard,
used my name in this book and did it anyway.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
It tells you all you need to know about Will Packard.
That's one hundred percent truth.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
All those quotes are truth because I come with Kevin
pretty hard, and and so he said, you know what,
I don't have to like this and I don't have
to laugh at it. So if you look at the quotes,
I reached out of my industry friends and I said,
just be honest. Steve Harvey's quote is by my book
first and then by Will.
Speaker 7 (47:37):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
That's very much how Steve as. But you know, for me,
it is a lot of it is told through humor,
It's told through comedy. I have had an incredible career.
I look back and I can't believe it's been thirty
years in the game. I can't believe I've had the
success I've had. That is because of the people listening
to the show. It's because of you all and me
come on the show.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
It's because of the support of that audience. But the
reality telling it.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Now I can look back with levity and with light,
and now I'm saying, Okay, learn from what I went through.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
You know what I'm saying, learn from that moment when.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
Kevinhart left me on the set of Ride Alone to
go shoot a stand up special and almost sunk the
whole movie.
Speaker 8 (48:17):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (48:17):
I don't want to hear you talk bad about Kevin
no more after reading chapter twenty two, Rush's chapter if
all those fails open the fruit stand benefits of Phelies.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
And I don't want to give it all the way.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Yeah, but I'll just say, you got into Jamaica with
an inspired passport. I snuck into a foreign country, and
you called Shla to fix that problem for you. Going
into a country with an expired passport and feelessness is criminal.
It was not the smartest thing I've ever done. Criminal
And I just started shout out to Sheila. It was,
you know what the point of that when you read.
Speaker 3 (48:47):
That chapter, sir, is sometimes you can get away with crimes. No,
that is not the point of it, And that is
not what it was. It was the fact that I
was first.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
It was one of my first dates with this new
woman that I had met and met this amazing woman
named Heather, and you you know what it was just
we got to the counter and my passport was expired.
Because with a passport, you know it's like seven eight
years or something. Right, That's good, but that's also the problem.
You don't think about it.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
I got to that counter and they said my passport
was inspired.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
This is my first trip out of town and I'm
trying to be impressive, and she looking at me like, oh,
I'm with that guy. I'm with the guy that don't
even have an active passport and don't check this stuff
out and you will pack it.
Speaker 6 (49:29):
I what.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
So I was like, I got to figure this out,
so I do tell the story about how I snuck in.
The bad thing was that I was able to get
out of America, and I didn't think about the fact
that once I got into the country, my passport was
still expired and I would have preferred to be in
American jail versus a Jamaican jail Arctic. So I kind
of didn't think it all the way through. But here's
the point. We all have situations, right. Life is hard
(49:53):
where we have to then decide after we are in
a situation that we can't control. So once I got
into Jamaica, I was there. I had the best vacation
ever because at that point you gotta go hard. So
I encourage people, right, there are times when you get
into a situation that you just got to say, you
know what, there's nothing I can do but live my
(50:13):
life to the fullest in this moment. Don't stress about it.
Don't get anxiety about it once you're in it. Once
I was in Jamaica and I snuck in, I knew
I might go to jail. I said, Yo, I'm gonna
have a good ass time.
Speaker 7 (50:24):
You had to go hard because her group chats. You
ain't wanted to tell her friends?
Speaker 3 (50:27):
No, definitely not, But I locked that down after she's
my wife. Now that head that she is here with
me right now. Did you tell your friend yes, whether
you were an accomplished I just want you to know
that you can.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Oh yeah, Hea, Heather, definitely yeah. She had to flirt
with the Jamaican dude help us get into the country.
I don't want to say no, no, I did. I definitely.
I definitely threw my wife out there. That's not one
of my proudest moments. I said, maybe you gotta do
what you gotta do. When Kevin wanted to go do
his standing up and go to the party, yes, we
heard that. It was completely irresponsible. Do not try to
defer in that man. He was irresponsible. He knew exactly
(51:02):
what he was doing. It The biggest movie is our
Careers and he overbooked himself.
Speaker 13 (51:05):
Come on, man, woman of your career life with the
Heather you fifteen years later?
Speaker 3 (51:10):
It was, it was, and it panned out.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
And one thing I would say about keV if anything,
he works too hard, it wasn't malicious in what he did.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
He overbooked because he does work too hard. And that's
the other thing.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
The most successful people who have accomplished things that you
may look and say, how do I get there?
Speaker 3 (51:24):
The only difference between them and you is just that
they haven't stopped. That's it.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
They just keep going. They've made all kinds of mistakes, right,
They've had to pivot. And I always say, giving up
and quitting are two different things. Never ever ever give up.
But you can quit, right. You might be doing something
the wrong way.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
You might need to quit. Everybody I know that's really successful.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
Has quit doing something some way and pivoted the power
of the pivot.
Speaker 3 (51:47):
Never give up, all right? We got more with Will
Packer when we come back.
Speaker 2 (51:49):
It's the Breakfast Club, good morning pointing. Everybody is tj
Envy just hilarious charlamage. The God we are the Breakfast
Club Lone, the Roaster's here with us as well. We're
still kicking it with Will Packer book Who Better Than You,
The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, is out now, Chelamaane.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
I want to get to the art of the pivot,
but first I want to ask you about the chapter
that says, stay in your lane.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
Yeah, just just make it wide, lean into your thing? Yes?
Speaker 5 (52:12):
How does one avoid being typecasted by leaning into their thing?
And when do you know the pivot?
Speaker 3 (52:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (52:19):
You know it.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
The whole point of that chapter is about when you
have something that you do really really well, because many
times people are afraid of being locked into something that
people will think that's all I can do, right, But
if you do that thing and you do it really
really well, do not stop. Okay, don't stop. The most
successful people have a thing that they do and they
(52:41):
do it well. Then they use the ability to be
successful in a lane to go out and do something else.
I'm only able to write this book with a major
publisher because I've been very successful in a particular medium.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
Right now, I'm able to go and do other things.
So don't worry about that. Oh well, I can do
so much other stuff. What's the thing you do really.
Speaker 2 (52:59):
Well, do that, triple down on that, be the best
person in that particular field, and by the way, find
your passion within that.
Speaker 3 (53:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Too many times people are telling me, well, I'm not
passionate about something. I gotta wait to find my passion
and before I go out and work really hard. And
I'm telling you, you're building your brand from day one.
Work hard today.
Speaker 3 (53:20):
I didn't have a passion to be a filmmaker, I
will admit that, but I was. I did not. That
was not my dream growing up.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
But I found that I was really good at knowing
how to hire actors and raise money and self distribute.
And then I found the passion in storytelling later. So
I found the thing I was really really good at,
and then I found my passion within it. I encourage
people to do that and worry about being type passed.
Stay in your lane, but you can make it wide.
I'm not trying to pigeonhole you, and I'm not trying
(53:47):
to limit what you can do, but stay in your lane.
Too often we are trying to do too much, and
now you can't be the person that's doing everything the best.
Speaker 3 (53:58):
That is just not how humans work. What's the thing
you do well, triple down on that.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
So once you've leaned into your thing and you find
that thing, there's never a pivot from that thing.
Speaker 3 (54:07):
It can be a pivot where you use that thing.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
You use your ability, you use your brand, you use
the fact that you have got credibility in a particular space,
you have done the exact same thing. You use the
fact that you have credibility in one lane in order
to then expand your lane. Right, But it should still
all be about this is the thing that I do.
That's why I say stay in your lane, but make
your lane wide.
Speaker 13 (54:31):
Is there ever a time where like you're because I mean, look,
I remember when you told the story about Kevin what
the last time you guys were here? And now I'm
seeing in context of this book of like who better
than you? And I feel like in that moment he
had the arrogance to be like, I can do both
of these. I'm going to be fine, and it's all
going to work out. But things like that can kind
of get pretty tricky because what if it hadn't have
worked out? Is the ever a moment where you have
to tell somebody who's coming to you for this type
(54:52):
of who better than you. Advice like, maybe this is
not it for you right now. Maybe there's someone better
than you right now, but that doesn't mean later you
might I'd be able to have that who better than
you are?
Speaker 3 (55:01):
You have to be honest with yourself number one.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Right, We live in a world where people think either
they are too great or they are too awful. Rodger
Kipling has a poem called if, and my favorite stanza
in that poem is if you can meet with triumph
and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same.
That is saying that both triumph and disaster are impostors,
(55:27):
neither of them are real.
Speaker 22 (55:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
Too many times, because we post some on social media,
everybody tell you, oh my god, you the greatest thing ever?
Speaker 3 (55:34):
Is so good? Or the opposite. They just hay, no,
you're telling you how offul you are.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
Neither of that is true. You gotta stay even keeled.
So the first thing you gotta do is be honest
about you and your skill set. It's the only way
you're gonna get better. Don't worry about external factors. You
got to have a very honest conversation. One of the
things I talk about in the book is how we
have to make sure I'm a daily affirmation type of person.
You're there encouraging yourself right, giving yourself positivity, telling yourself
(56:01):
how you're ready, how you prepared, what you can do,
but also being very very honest with yourself.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
I don't care what you tell the world.
Speaker 2 (56:07):
A lot of yourself, a lot of your mom, a
lot of your cousin, a lot of your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife.
Speaker 3 (56:11):
Do not lie to yourself. Be very very clear about
what it is that you do. Well.
Speaker 5 (56:16):
Yeah, you know, I want to talk you about the
pack of family model too. If you want to have
what others won't you have to do with others don't. Yeah, yeah,
you got your mom with you again for her, I
got moms, I got you know what. It's something that
mom instilled in me.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
You know when I was growing up, Mom and dad
they took me like you know, like Simmling the lion
king and lifted me up and said, you know, whatever
the son touches is your son. Like I encourage my
folks with kids, do that. Tell your kids because that's
when they're the most impressible. Tell them they can do anything.
They told me that it so I was.
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Very audacious growing up with my family. It's me, my wife.
We have four children.
Speaker 2 (56:50):
So that's the sixth path. If you want to have
what others don't, you have to be willing to do
what others won't.
Speaker 3 (56:55):
Period. That is the mantra.
Speaker 2 (56:57):
The mantra is that understand whatever it is that you
want to do, if anybody else can do it, then
it's not special. You're not gonna get it right. You're
not gonna get something that's unique. You gotta be willing
to do what others are not to get that thing.
And I believe that the more you do hard things,
the better you become at hard things. The more hard
(57:20):
things you do, the easier hard things become. So don't
run from doing hard things. Don't run from doing the
things that everybody else says it's crazy. That's the only
way you're gonna get strength and to build that muscles
by doing those hard things.
Speaker 3 (57:34):
Why I say dream.
Speaker 2 (57:35):
Big because your dream has got to be so big,
because they're gonna be challenges along the way. It's gotta
be so big that it pushes you past those challenges inevitably.
Because if the dream is just a mediocre dream, like man,
it'd be kind of cool to do that. Then when
you run into a speed bump and that's really hard,
you're gonna say, you know what, it ain't worth it.
Speaker 3 (57:50):
I'm cool, right, But if the.
Speaker 2 (57:51):
Dream is so big, right, I mean so big for
color eight four khd, like super crazy beyond your wildless
dreams big, then when you do hit that hard moment,
those challenges, you know it's worth it to keep going
and keep fighting because the dream is big enough.
Speaker 4 (58:11):
Is Will Packer allowed to turn his own book into
a movie?
Speaker 11 (58:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (58:14):
Limited, seriously, Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I'm Will Packer.
Speaker 8 (58:17):
You know I think about doing it.
Speaker 2 (58:18):
I could do that.
Speaker 7 (58:19):
I saw Heather in the background this day.
Speaker 3 (58:21):
You know what hed to say in the background.
Speaker 4 (58:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (58:23):
I just saw something.
Speaker 13 (58:25):
I was giving a lean like maybe no, don't do
it right now or something.
Speaker 8 (58:28):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
I've made this book not to turn into a movie
or a TV show. You never say never, because you know,
one of my biggest movies is Think Like a Man.
Steve Harvey will tell you he never thought of that
as a movie, never.
Speaker 3 (58:39):
He never wrote it for that.
Speaker 2 (58:41):
I wrote this to give the master mentorship that I
didn't have people coming to me a lot and saying,
tell me about your success story, tell me about your failures,
tell me about what you had to overcome.
Speaker 3 (58:53):
And so what I tell these stories? Right, and I
talk about you know.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Beyonce turning me down five times or in yourselba you
know almost not walking the carpet at the first in
means and how you get past that? Like when I
tell these stories, I'm doing that so that other people
can benefit from you.
Speaker 3 (59:09):
So I could turn into a movie, but that's not
what I made it for.
Speaker 2 (59:12):
I literally made this book so that I could influence
other folks who are either on their way up, thinking
about making a pivot or living a life that they
know could be a.
Speaker 3 (59:22):
Little more fulfilling. Well, we appreciate you for joining us.
Will pack a new book.
Speaker 2 (59:26):
Who better than you to all the healthy arrogance and
dreaming big out right now? Always a pleasure to see
you go out there and by this book making the
New York Times bestseller. Massreciate your found I appreciate you man,
thank you, thank you all for having me. Charlae Mann,
and thank you because you're somebody that you know and
I told you this. We saw each other at the
Democrat National Convention and I told you I had written
my first book, and I was inspired by your books
(59:48):
and by reading your books and just seeing that process
and the grind that you put in. So you never
know who's watching and who you're inspiring. So thank you,
my brother, thank you for having me.

You is real.
Speaker 20 (01:00:08):
Weather is just Carrobbor Moore just don't do no lines,

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
On the breakfast Clubs. He's the coach of ship.
Speaker 14 (01:00:23):
She was able to get y'all to see something and
understand something that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Nobody could get you to see this time to set
it off.
Speaker 7 (01:00:31):
So Drake is on toy. He been having Tantrum's girl.
He's been doing all types of acts. He's been, you know,
trying to prove that he's not dead. He's very much alive.
It's a lot going on. I don't even know why though,
I mean, but he is charting.
Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
So I am gonna give him that.
Speaker 13 (01:00:45):
Yes, he's charting. That is exactly where I was about
to go. I don't know why because at this point,
I know we talked about it here and I know
y'all don't care but sex, some sexy songs for you.
But the boy is moving. He is right now some
sexy songs for you. It is supposed to be headed
to number one on Billboard.
Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Uh, congratulations, nice, nice, big.
Speaker 13 (01:01:06):
That's a big thing for him, because I feel like
I'm not even gonna lie. I feel like the Kendrick
goggles of not like us has changed the way I
even which is so unfair.
Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
It's still a superstar he still has. He's still gonna
hit number one on all those charts.
Speaker 8 (01:01:21):
I got the.
Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
Labels calling saying, what song you know it should be
at radio. So even through the lawsuit, I know, but
last week.
Speaker 7 (01:01:29):
It's hard to not look at some of the things
and then like to see what he's doing, and then
you just immediately think back to some of Kendrick's lyrics,
like remember he was like I hate the way that
you walk, the way that you talk, even the way
that you dress.
Speaker 13 (01:01:40):
Yeah, people talking about his outfits and I'm like, that's
crazy because I know, even the stuff he's been doing
on tour, so like the shoot there was like one
one girl wasn't want to do and the.
Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Jersey evening the shooting things.
Speaker 13 (01:01:56):
But that's what I'm saying, he said to myself. I'm like,
but he's been doing this.
Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
It was the same thing with the outfits.
Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
He's been doing the outfits to no, no, no, he
used to dress a little bit the them funny outfits
in the matching outfits with the bright colors.
Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
He would do them.
Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
I ain't never seeing where a T shirt that said
where do you see my d in the arrow point
in his mind?
Speaker 13 (01:02:15):
I mean probably not that exact T shirt, but that
that was the T shirt that it was, what do
you see mine?
Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Pointed, Ja, There's no arrow pointing to it he was.
That wasn't on stage. That was he was walking around.
Speaker 7 (01:02:27):
I've never seen him with a hoodie on with smoke
coming from the holes like I just you know.
Speaker 13 (01:02:31):
I think even though you know that's headed up the charts.
I know, give me a hug hit number one on
like us like an Apple Music chart as well, too, amazing. Yeah,
I do think that the Kendrick lamar not like us.
Effect is a thing because even he posted, well he
there was a video of like a drone that was
flying around. I think it was just like a promotional
ad low key for Drake and Steak, which is where
(01:02:52):
he don't have sports gambling.
Speaker 7 (01:02:54):
Even when I saw that, I'm like, why are you
doing all that? It's like we've we've then I been
taking off, But he did.
Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
He did these stupid videos before, you know what I mean,
and everybody loved it before they he always he would
always do these stupid videos conversations.
Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
Like the workout.
Speaker 13 (01:03:14):
I wanted to show some love because the music is charting.
Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
I don't know, does it sounds like love ahead.
Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
First of all, y'all are having a conversation about Drake.
That's been going on since the beginning of time. Drake
has always charted and he's always been corning.
Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
I ain't never said I.
Speaker 7 (01:03:28):
Honestly, just now, to be honest with you, we weren't
considering him.
Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Some girls are like Drake had over.
Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
One's a Drake hater, but he's always done them stupid
commercials like him working out and and act like he's
listening to music.
Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
He's listening to Taylor Swift as he works out. He's
always done these. And he also he has a huge
fan base. Even even whether or not Kendrick Lamar won
the rap battle, we know that, and he's still charging
it with Drake still has a base.
Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
Yeah, yeah, wow and other.
Speaker 13 (01:04:01):
News exactly because he gives out birkens and were gonna
leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
He ain't giving us one.
Speaker 13 (01:04:08):
I got one, should know, No Drake from Drake his
birthday party, Yeah, we gave you one. He literally raffles
him off for his birthday party. We didn't want getting
another one because you're sitting next to the biggest hate.
Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
So he just gave you one.
Speaker 13 (01:04:21):
He raffles them. He gave him five that night.
Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
No, I don't believe that. I swear. My sister used to.
Speaker 13 (01:04:25):
Dance for him on the Scorpions tour and I went
to his birthday party.
Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
That's it's no little sister, have you ever been to
drakes sister? Tell us now.
Speaker 13 (01:04:40):
I went to Drake's birthday party and he gave away
five Chanel bags that night, and I was one of
my I didn't think it was real. I even went
up to them and was like, yo, what is going on?
And They're like, we do this all the time. I
don't have it today, but you have seen it before.
It's the big boy, the great one.
Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
Okay okay, oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:04:58):
No it's not.
Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
She got a but no, she got the bitch.
Speaker 8 (01:05:01):
Now that's the one. I told her.
Speaker 7 (01:05:02):
I like, I do like it anywhere New Year's So
she said that with British British Vogue, and when she
was up here, she asked her question and she looked like,
what are you talking to or what? I'm sorry, I shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
It was something like that, Okay, yes, so Tyler, but
I know, I know, you said.
Speaker 7 (01:05:30):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (01:05:31):
So Tyler was here at the Breakfast Club and she
was asked the question about how she identifies as a
black woman or not. She recently brought this back up
when she was speaking to British Vogue. Let's take a
listen to though, what happened when she came here to
the breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
Poo me on these debates that they be having about
your identity as a South African colored person, what does
that even mean?
Speaker 8 (01:05:52):
Can we yeah?
Speaker 11 (01:05:53):
Can we not?
Speaker 6 (01:05:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
I like that we're keeping that in the interview too.
Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
I like when they talk from.
Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
The back and say we can't.
Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
I like that even better.
Speaker 7 (01:06:05):
Tyler wasn't that bad, wasn't man that baby with that
neck around like, uh, he asked me a.
Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Question that we said don't ask.
Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
By the way, the label made that bad. Okay, because
the label came in here and said, don't ask these questions.
Of course I'm going to ask that, but we told
we told the label that we was going to ask
the questions. And look how I asked the question. I said,
school me going her an opportunity too. It was polite,
you said it nice. It wasn't an attack and didn't
even and then it.
Speaker 7 (01:06:32):
Was like twelve things on the list we couldn't talk about,
and it was like, damn, what else can we ask?
Speaker 8 (01:06:36):
You know?
Speaker 13 (01:06:37):
But when she sat down with British Vogue in context,
like in you know, fullness of the conversation, she was
talking about, you know, just her career and representing where
she's from and you know, just how she's been handling
all of that and what representation is like for her
and why she doesn't feel the pressure to do so anymore.
And they brought up the interview and they said that
the interview basically like made the matter kind of worse,
and they asked her, you know, why didn't she answer?
(01:06:59):
And she says, you know, me choosing not to say anything.
I'm happy that I didn't. I didn't want to explain
my culture and something that is really important to me
on a platform that is just going to be purposefully misconstrued.
I've explained it a lot of times before, but people
took that and put words in my mouth. They said
a whole bunch of things that I never said and
ran with it. If people really searched, they'll see that
in South Africa we had a lot of segregation. It
(01:07:19):
was bad for a lot of us. They just classified us,
and that's just so happens to be the name that
the white people called us. They chose to call they
chose to call people that were mixed colored. And I'm
not gonna lie. It was hard because all my life,
obviously I know I'm black, but I also knew that
I'm colored. So when I went to America and people
were like, you can't say that, I was in a
position where I was like, oh, so what do I do?
What am I? Then she could have said that here, she.
Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Could have answered that here. Charlamagne didn't ask it a
negative way. She could have just answered just like that.
It's true.
Speaker 7 (01:07:48):
In South Africa, it was a lot of segregation. It
was a lot of things going on in the past
and all that stuff. And she she's still young, but
ever since she was a little girl, you know, she's
been called colored and she get overhead and we can't
more about the actual color you are than.
Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Just being colored, you know. So it's just it's cultural differences.
But she definitely could have said it.
Speaker 4 (01:08:06):
She's probably more prepared to answer it now.
Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 13 (01:08:11):
I think she might have been nervous about how she
would be challenged in this room versus the definitely British
Vogue is a little bit more. But they're not going
to in it's print.
Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Said school on you didn't test.
Speaker 7 (01:08:25):
She would be very honest, it is. This is a
very intimidating room depending on who you are coming here.
And people do come you know, they come up here nonetheless,
but they come up here just like sometimes people might
come up here on edge and until they realize how
cool that you are and and that you're not this
ugly person, you know what I'm saying on.
Speaker 8 (01:08:42):
The inside, Yeah, on the whole face.
Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Yeah, you're not right. Then they'd be like, okay, you not.
Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
So by the way, laur you look better that FA know,
but listen, you know you today right. We do this
all the time whenever guests come up. Whenever guests come
up here, I guests have things that we don't want
them to ask. It's up to us whether or not
we say yes or no to the request. That literally
happened yesterday. There was a person that called and said, hey,
I want to come up, but I don't want to
(01:09:17):
be asked about this. And we said, well, we don't
think we cannot ask you about that, and so the
person decided not to do the interview with that.
Speaker 7 (01:09:24):
That's nothing, that's right, well breaking news, Oh my god,
break it real quick.
Speaker 8 (01:09:29):
Girl.
Speaker 13 (01:09:30):
Cassie is pregnant.
Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
That's not breaking. That was on the stream. Man go
your way. Man popped up about an hour, like an
hour like I used to wear so club. You're like
(01:09:58):
into the breakfast club.
Speaker 12 (01:10:00):
I wanted to know how you came up with them.
Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
Don't be a name because you mean.
Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
There's a bunch of donkeys do that is what I
remember life where we might are tongue based off Coolie
may have fined he never was saying on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
In the words of Charlemagne, to God, he's a donkey,
ah Man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey the day to who now.
Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Donkey of today for Wednesday, February nineteenth goes to Terrell
Ephron known as asap Rally. Now, I never heard of
a brother before this case with Asaf Rocky. If you
haven't heard, by the way, Asaf Rocky was facing two
felony councils assault with a firearm in connection with this
altercation that happened with a sap Rally.
Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
But yesterday he was acquitted of shooting a Savarell. He
found not guilty on all charges. Let's go to the
ABC News Florry fourth place.
Speaker 16 (01:10:59):
Asap Rocky, he was looking at more than two decades
behind bars if he had been found guilty. So if
we put ourselves in his shoes, it's easy to understand
the amount of emotion and joy and relief we saw
from him when the verdict was handed down not guilty,
relief and joy as Asaf Rocky heard not guilty. The
rapper whose real name is Racki Meyers literally leaping into
(01:11:21):
the arms of his partner Superstar rihannaup. It was the
first of two verdicts handed down in his favor as
he faced two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon,
accused of firing a semi automatic firearm at former friend
Asaprelli in November of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
This whole experience has been crazy for the past four years.
Speaker 8 (01:11:39):
But I'm thankful.
Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
Nonetheless, I'm thankful and this we're blessed to be here
right now, to be a freeman token to y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
Thank you, all praise.
Speaker 5 (01:11:46):
Due to God, travel to clues bombs with Asab rock
with all praises do to God. Why didn't keep calling
him Rakim? I thought it was rock Kim. Can't he
name after rock him rock hem Eh? And he keeps
saying Rakkim.
Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
But let's be clear, Asavrelli was just trying to get paid,
all right, more and nothing less.
Speaker 5 (01:12:01):
And this is the world that we live in. When
you are a personal statue, you know, some celebrity people
think you got some paper, you will always look like
a walking lick to those folks, which is why my
advice to everyone who got something.
Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
To lose isolation. All right, put your boundaries up, stay
within your circle. Everybody that's not within that circle is dangerous.
Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
And as we see in this case, sometimes people in
your circle are dangerous most of the time, the most dangerous.
Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Now, I know this type of betrail has been going
on since the beginning of time. But we really in
a suite happy world, and you got folks like Asaf
Relly who are looking for a quick payday and.
Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
They don't care who they lie on to get it.
Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Now, the reason Asaf rally is getting donkey other day
is because he can't even rat. Right, all right, Relly,
you just on the stand and got caught lion every
which way. I mean, you took the standing, just live, live,
lied every which way you could possibly think of. I'm
talking up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, press B,
press A, press art.
Speaker 5 (01:12:59):
Oh, Relly, you need all the lives you can get. Okay,
you got to understand and tried to take Rocky out.
But you're spinning the wind. And now you the one
would talk two on your chin.
Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:13:09):
According to Rocky's defense, you committed perjury, all right, allegedly, Okay.
Some of your mistruths. According to TMC in the New
York Times, included you denying shooting guns at the firing
range in LA only to be confronted with video of
you shooting guns at a firing range in LA. Rocky's
lawyer asap Joe what's his name, Tacopina? Asap Joe Tacopina,
(01:13:31):
I think too, Tocopoena. He thinks you're allying so much
that he blamed the La County's DA office for embracing perjury. Now,
what I found interesting was there was these phone calls,
and then the phone calls you admitted you just wanted
some money.
Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:13:44):
In fact, you said you wanted to try to shake
Rocky down for money in a certain way because you
didn't want to be accused of extortion.
Speaker 4 (01:13:50):
Can we listen to that call.
Speaker 21 (01:13:53):
All right.
Speaker 11 (01:13:56):
Away?
Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Another island.
Speaker 7 (01:14:01):
Just relax, You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
They're gonna scrambling ki because now.
Speaker 22 (01:14:06):
They have to up against Rocky the same.
Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Indeed, they have evidence and.
Speaker 22 (01:14:11):
That they need the same when we present to a
jury and you don't have a complaining witness.
Speaker 5 (01:14:16):
Now this call was presented in court, and listen to
what really said about the calls.
Speaker 22 (01:14:25):
You guys just keep playing faith Audio two like face
Up I never said none of that to him.
Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
It doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
It was in that moment that the jurors made up
their mind. Okay, between this and the fact that the
weapon Rocky had was a prop gun. By the way, Rocky,
don't ever do that. Why are you walking around with
a prop gun for protection?
Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
How's that gonna scare somebody? All right, especially somebody with
a real gun? What if they quicker on the drawed
in you? What if they pull the airs while you
pull you off? Then what you're rich? Higher armed security.
Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
But listen, really, the moral of the story is y'all
needgros watch too much power. Okay, matter of fact, you
not even power, you empire. You wasn't even trying to
be realistic. Really, Okay, if Relly was a GPS, you'd
never reach your destination. It'd be just a bunch of
wrong turns and detours. He's the friend that tells you
he's five minutes away and hasn't even left the house.
Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Yet, just lying for no reason.
Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
And really you found out firsthand what happens when you
put your hand on a bible in lie.
Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
Rocky found not.
Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
Guilty, but you Oh no, no, no, you wasted the
DA's time playing around. Somebody gotta go to jail. Okay,
why not the guy who allegedly may have committed perdrie.
Why not the guy who allegedly was trying to extort
their friend for thirty million dollars rally. You said they
was gonna be scrambling to find you on an island. Well,
(01:15:44):
I think that in the future that island's gonna be richers. Okay,
Please let riby Ma give Terrell efren aka asap rally
the biggest he.
Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
Hull hee ha hee ha, you stupid mother?
Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Are you dumb boy? People can lie?
Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
He should be prosecuted. That's crazy if us found persuring.
Speaker 5 (01:16:04):
Prosecuting and words can lie for no reason. Can't do
because people gotta stop that?
Speaker 20 (01:16:08):
What?
Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
All right? Well, thank you for that, donkey. Who I
tell you.
Speaker 5 (01:16:13):
I'm lying though, and I tell you trust me even
though I'm lying, Okay, And I tell you that you
should believe me even when I'm lying tomorrow of the
stories I'm telling you I'm lying.
Speaker 3 (01:16:21):

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
Okay. Where do you find the balance of work in
family life?
Speaker 7 (01:16:59):
Literally trying to find it. It's ongoing for me. I'm
still trying to balance that. It's crazy. And then you
know that's just the things that you know I do.
I do so many other things still too. And then
I have a twelve year old son. You know, I
have a partner. And that's why I understand even that
study is like these women, they are afraid of being
(01:17:22):
alone to do it by themselves.
Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
You know, I have help, and it's still hard, you
know what I mean. So I definitely and you got
a lot of help. You gotta.
Speaker 7 (01:17:31):
His mom stand and my sister. Yeah, even with a
strong supporter foundation, it is still so hard because when
that baby want me, she only want me, She don't
you know, it's no, and she know she's looking at
that chest like boy ware, you know what I mean.
So it's like it's a lot. It can be a
(01:17:52):
lot at times, but I'm still trying. It's ongoing. I
don't have it figured out yet.
Speaker 5 (01:17:55):
So think about all of the women who don't have
the means that just has that listen to us every
single day, and you know they're trying to find, you know,
that that balance between work and family life because they
still got to get up and go to work even
though they got newborns and everything else.
Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Those are the people I want to talk to this morning.
All right, well, let's talk to ladies. Eight hundred five

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
If you're just joining us, we're taking your phone calls
eight hundred five eight five one oh five to one,
and we're talking to women this morning about work, family
balance and how difficult it is.
Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
And we started with you, Jesse.
Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Mothers just as a you know, I don't know people realize,
but they should. You got a six month old at
home and a twelve year old. Twelve year old, and
you still get up every morning to bring your ass
and hear the work, absolutely amongst doing a million other things.
Speaker 7 (01:19:08):
Oh my gosh, yes, so many other things. And then yo,
you know, for a lot a lot of people may
look at me like you know, and look at a
lot of people with money. Oh you got money, so
you good. Your money is not even like half of it.
You gotta have the mental to do it, like you
got to show up.
Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
And you can't. You can't be tired, you know, with
no baby.
Speaker 7 (01:19:26):
And we're just doing everything that I'm doing, like I
have businesses, I got products, I'm in the middle of
a rebrand, I'm touring. I'm waking up three point thirty
every morning and make sure I look good to come
up here. And then when you on the radio, like
this breakfast club, I can't come in here like I
don't feel like like I have to show up.
Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
I gotta be just hilarious, you.
Speaker 8 (01:19:46):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (01:19:47):
Because then for the listeners, how they gonna wake up
if I you will?
Speaker 11 (01:19:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:19:51):
So it's a lot.
Speaker 7 (01:19:52):
It definitely is a lot. But I do not have
it all figured out, like I need to try to
act like I did.
Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
I really don't.
Speaker 5 (01:19:58):
So you're allowed to be like you're allowed to come
in here, you know what I'm saying and have your days.
And you know whether if listeners notice that or anybody
in the room notices that, there's a reason behind it.
Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
And then the main thing is when you go home,
is having the patience right, yes, because you have Ash
that wants to come and he wants to tell you
about his day.
Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
Yes, And then you have the baby that once mommy went.
Speaker 8 (01:20:18):
Yep to tell me about her day. You know. Then
I got so and.
Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
Then you got your husband that you got to make sure.
You got to make sure that he's okay, yup.
Speaker 7 (01:20:26):
And then even the baby's grandmother, the nanny, because I
got to make sure she's good too, you know what
I mean, Just like like if she has everything that
she needs for the babies, she needs a break, and
then I need a break. And then you know, Chris
need a break and he's still working it. Then it's
a lot to keep this thing going.
Speaker 5 (01:20:44):
Sure you could cut out the fact, cut out the
outpha so you don't got to come in here looking
good every more.
Speaker 7 (01:20:49):
I cannot come in here looking like you like, I
definitely want to come up don't want to come.
Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
Don't want to sweatsuit, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (01:20:55):
No, I don't want to come up here looking like
like I don't want.
Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
To do that.
Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
Those days are over.
Speaker 2 (01:21:00):

walking in here, you know, because it depends. It depends.

we're talking about family work balance. How difficult is it
(01:24:54):
for women especially single women out there trying to do
this all on their own with taking your calls.
Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
Eight hundred five eight five one five.
Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
One guess's talking about how difficult it is with her
doing comedy and the breakfast.
Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
Yeah, and then one thing is like write.
Speaker 7 (01:25:07):
Another thing is writing comedy, Yo, writing comedy, and then
writing a book, and then also just trying to keep
up with like the internet, with the whole skit thing,
like you know, cause I used to do way more skits.
It's like, Yo, it's never enough time in a day
to do all of that stuff because I have to
You gotta write the skiss. You just can't just do it.
Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
You gotta write it.
Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
I used to be able to just do it.
Speaker 7 (01:25:31):
Like things come to my mind, but with my mind
being on so many other things, no, things just don't
pop in my mind. No more jokes, know, So I
have to sit down and like meditate to write new
jokes and figure out what I'm gonna talk about when
I get u up here, when I get up here,
and then content just and I don't know, you never
feel like you're doing enough.
Speaker 5 (01:25:50):
How much material comes from your real life now, like
you know, your family, all of it, dating a Mexican.
Speaker 7 (01:25:55):
Yes, all of that, having a new baby at thirty
two versus when I was nineteen when I got pregnant
with Ash, and then just being the person who don't
want to talk on a phone to nobody no more,
because everybody wants something. And then even when they don't
want nothing, they got problems they want to hear. They
want you to hear them.
Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
Vent and it's like you ain't dealing with everything, yo,
Like damn, they take that.
Speaker 7 (01:26:18):
Just fix my mess very seriously. And I love for
people to do that because that is an outlet where
I can, you know, help people, but damn ask me
how I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
To fix you up. Definitely. We got Lola on the line.
Speaker 15 (01:26:29):
Lola, good morning, Good morning, DJOK.
Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Good morning. Talk to us.
Speaker 15 (01:26:37):
Well, the probable was about finding the balance, right, And
I think the key to finding balance is making time
for yourself. Because I have three kids, so it's hard
to find time to do things for myself, and you know,
we get so caught up and busy and rushing around
and doing things and accommombating everybody else. So I think
the key to balance is time to time to do
(01:26:58):
something for myself, even if it's just going to get
my hair done or taking time to read one of
my books, or I think that, Well, it may not
be the main key, but I think that is one
of the keys to find a balance being a mother,
because it is hard.
Speaker 4 (01:27:12):
Isn't it even harder when you got a new board.
Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
No, because even if you go away to get your
head done and you know you lactating and your breast
start to get hurt, hurt, and you can't wait to
get back to them to feed them, and you know
they can't wait for you to get home because they
won't eat.
Speaker 8 (01:27:24):
Right.
Speaker 15 (01:27:25):
Planning and properly planning, I guess we will be another key.
So you know, you want to make sure that you
had that milk ready before you go to your appointment,
so you pumped before you go. So I guess planning
will also be the balance.
Speaker 7 (01:27:37):
Sometimes it ain't even all about the planning. I've been
in the chair and had to pump while I was
in the chair, you know what I mean with other
people in the hassalon, like sometimes you can plan for things,
but it don't go as planning.
Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
Like you know, NICKI good morning, good morning, how you
feel and talk to us? We're talking work, family, balance.
Speaker 12 (01:27:57):
This morning, being a single parent.
Speaker 18 (01:27:59):
I think you never find the worst balance I was.
I got married in twenty twelve, my husband's parson waking
in twenty eighteen, and I've been a single parent basically
ever since. And I think that does weigh heavy on
women being afraid of having kids and being single because
I never intended to not have a husband. So yeah,
it was a blow to the family and it still
(01:28:20):
is every day dealing with it. So I think I
learned different techniques as I go, but I don't think
we ever figure it out.
Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
Yeah, thank you, Nikki.
Speaker 4 (01:28:27):
Hold on, you sound like did I miss it?
Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
I missed?
Speaker 4 (01:28:29):
What happened to the husband?
Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
He got locked up?
Speaker 4 (01:28:30):
He got locked up?
Speaker 18 (01:28:31):
Well, yep, yep, how you got nineteen years?
Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
Damn Jesus, how long you did?
Speaker 6 (01:28:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:28:37):
So, so he's been gone since.
Speaker 18 (01:28:39):
It's best seven years now.
Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Wow, hold your head up? Yeah about that? All right?
Speaker 22 (01:28:45):
Well?
Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
Is there mold to the story? Gosh?
Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
I mean, I mean, I think there's no such thing
as a mom who has it all together and that's okay.
Speaker 7 (01:28:51):
Yeah, yeah, No matter how much money you got, how
much help you got, you know, you have to just
do your best to stayment mentally fit, because like you
definitely would go crazy with a bunch of money and
a bunch of people around you, Like you still just
have to always make sure that you're getting some time
for yourself.
Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
You gotta take care of yourself for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:29:11):
You haven't been able to do drugs where you want
to know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (01:29:15):
No, although I did shrim on my birthday and that
was like a clarity thing, Like it was like I
am doing something right, I am, you know, because I
don't stream just to you know, have fun, Like I
get a lot of clarity when I stam to yeah,
you know, And I got.
Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
A lot of clarity with that trip, like absolutely, like
a lot.
Speaker 7 (01:29:35):
But I also laughed, and you know, we played around
me and Chris like we streamed together, and I got
exactly what I needed from that that shroom trip.
Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
So yeah, all right, to all the moms out there
and all the fellas out there, we said this before,
make sure you support. If you can't make sure there,
make sure you understand because we cannot do what then
women can do when it comes to work balance, as
Charlamage say, charlamone min and this lack taking things right now,
I don't know, but you've been in the milky thing,
but definitely support.
Speaker 4 (01:30:04):
My wife had four kids. I know how hard that is.
Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
You know what I'm saying, just sitting up here four
all of the time, I ain't seen it. I haven't
seen her pump yet, but I know she do because.
Speaker 7 (01:30:13):
Now I'm more I'm want to schedule now with it
four thirty and then I pump at twelve because it's
it's longer time than between now because I'm not making
as much as I was making. So I just I
pumped three times a day.
Speaker 8 (01:30:25):
Now, that's that.
Speaker 4 (01:30:26):
We appreciate you busting your ass.
Speaker 7 (01:30:28):

Speaker 7 (01:32:08):
And then she said like she was just playing, and
it just seemed like she was more aggresive because she

really take that serious anyway. But I just I called

it was very harmless. It was all right, though, you know, the.
Speaker 3 (01:32:27):

Speaker 8 (01:32:29):

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):

we going? Where we're going with this?
Speaker 12 (01:32:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
Damn hard right? Damn from Patties? All right, what's going on?
What's up?
Speaker 16 (01:32:47):
So?
Speaker 13 (01:32:47):
Uh, Puff's team? After jay Z got this dismissal to
happen on the civil side with the allegations of the
thirteen year old girl and all that stuff, now Diddy
team is like, okay, the windows open, let's jump on
in here. There asking for a dismissal, but they're asking
for on the criminal side. They're actually they filed docs
on Tuesday asking for the judge to dismiss count number
three of the US Attorney's case against Puff. The criminal
(01:33:11):
indictment that they have so Act number three talks about
like the Man Act. It's supposed to be in relation to,
like how you transport people to engage in prostitution.
Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
How many men you got to have section to have
a man a man.
Speaker 13 (01:33:25):
It used to be called the White Slave Trafficking.
Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Damn wow, it used to be.
Speaker 13 (01:33:30):
It was changed in June of June twenty fifth, nineteen ten.
It was that's when it was passed. But yeah, so
it's called the Man Act now it's named after this
this guy a man. Yeah he is a man. But anyway,
but what Puff is saying is that the reason, the
only reason why they included this is because they are
being racist because under this act, no black people have
(01:33:51):
ever I mean no white people have ever been prosecuted.
It's only been black people. He pointed out that this
is the same act that the government used to take
down Chuck Barry and Jack Johnson, who were both black men.
And he also says that there is no white person
that has ever been prosecuted under the White Slave Traffic
at for higher male escorts. And he's basically he's saying,
(01:34:13):
me and my girlfriends had male escorts come into our
relationship and it was consensual and the escort service is legal.
So why am I being punished for this? Y'all doing
this because I'm a rich black man.
Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
So he's back or the actors, and I just know
that because I just looked it up because it sounds
so crazy. But it's a federal law that outlaws the
transportation of women for im moral purposes.
Speaker 13 (01:34:30):
Yeah, but he's saying that the transportation happened because the
people wanted to be there, and the prostitutes or the
male sex workers he was bringing into the relationship worked
for a legal agency.
Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
He said he didn't force them.
Speaker 13 (01:34:40):
That's basically the same.
Speaker 5 (01:34:42):
I wonder if that matters though, because it says the
purpose of it is the prohibitive transportation of women for prostitution,
the bauchery, or other moral purposes. So does it matter
if they wanted to do it or not, or is
that just how people perceive whatever it is that you're doing.
Like if the judge said what you did, was the
botcherself a moral matter?
Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
If the women?
Speaker 7 (01:35:00):

wanted to go, I mean I think.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
The prostitution is illegal. Yeah, I mean, if you unless
you want to do it. No, prostitution is illegal parents,
but even if you want to do it. Waitang, really,
so what about that sugar baby? You want to tell
us something?
Speaker 7 (01:35:16):
Yes, girl, because that's why I was like, then I
need to follow lawsuits. Yes, because I was definitely out

Speaker 3 (01:35:25):

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
It prohibits the coardion or enticement of women. Are girls
for those sexual purposes?
Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
But it doesn't say men too or just women. You
just can't.
Speaker 4 (01:35:38):

People's Choice mixes up next, get your requesting eight hundred
five eight five one five one.
Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, wake up. If you're
like into the Breakfast Club morning.
Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy we
are the Breakfast Club is Black History Month.
Speaker 5 (01:36:55):
What we're doing today, man, every day during Black History Month.
My guy beat Out puts out a podcas Ass called
I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either, on the Black
Effect iHeartRadio podcast Networking today, he is speaking about Alice Parker.
She was the genius when vannaged central heating in nineteen nineteen,
proven that even in the world full of cold shoulders,
her ideas could still heat things up.
Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
Let's discuss I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (01:37:17):
I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
I didn't know.
Speaker 9 (01:37:19):
Alice Parker was this brilliant black woman born way back
in eighteen ninety five. So already you know, life wasn't
handing out participation trophies to folks like her. But Alice
looked around at how people were heating their homes using
wood and cold and thought, this is trash. I mean,
imagine chopping wood and freezing cold weather just so you
(01:37:41):
cannot freeze in your house. Alice had the genius idea
of using natural gas for central heating. Hey right, She
basically said, what do we stopped pretending we're on the
Oregon Trail and brought some twentieth century energy to the situation.
Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
How about that?
Speaker 9 (01:37:56):
Anybody in agreement with that? And she didn't just dream
it up, She didn't just talk it. She patented the
design in nineteen nineteen. That's like inventing wildfire before anybody
had ever seen a computer. And be clear, her design
wasn't perfect, It wasn't what we used today, but it
was revolutionary. It laid the groundwork for modern central heating systems.
Without Alice, a lot of us will still be holded
(01:38:18):
up around space heaters arguing about who gets to stand
the closest or them kerosene heaters and go to school
smell like Pumpy Levin and let's be real, there's only
so many toes you can lose the frostbite before you
start saying maybe there's a better way, y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
Now here's the kicker. Why don't we know her name?
Speaker 9 (01:38:35):
Why are you today years old just finding out about
Alice Parker And she did this over one hundred years ago,
barely a footnote in history. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison farts out
of light bulb and we all act like he invented
the sun and he didn't even invent the light bulb.
But that's a whole nother conversation for a whole another episode.
It's wild how black women like Alice were out here
(01:38:56):
quietly saving the world while getting none of the credit.
Her story should inspire us. She didn't let the fact
that she was a black woman in nineteen nineteen, when
the world wasn't exactly rooting for her stop her. She
had an idea and she made it happen. So the
next time you cozy in your warm house, remember Alice Parker.
She's the reason you're not out chopping wood like a lumberjack.
(01:39:18):
And if that's not worth a round of applause or
at least a thermostat adjustment in her honor, I don't
know what it is. Thank you, Alice Parker for making
winter survivable and for proven that sometimes the warmest ideas
come from the coldest challenges.
Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
Speaker 5 (01:39:36):
I know, Happy Black History Mom, that's right, make sure
you subscribe to it. I didn't know maybe you didn't
need a podcast on the black effect. iHeart Radio podcast Network,

But she is loud.
Speaker 7 (01:12):
When we try to get sleep, she loud. It's hard

Speaker 3 (01:16):
She not a cribbaby.
Speaker 7 (01:17):
She just scream and talk and just yell all day.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Is she on a regular schedule, because you you got

Speaker 7 (01:23):

Will's always a good conversation. He always makes a good conversation.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news, Morgan.
We'll be breaking everything down and don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Good morning morning, everybody's dj NV just Hilarius, Charlamagne, the God.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Good morning, Morgan, good morning.
Speaker 10 (03:00):
And Charlemagne God and Jess hilarious. All right, let's get
into it. So a federal judge is declining a request
from fourteen attorneys general to temporary block, temporary, to temporarily
ban Elon Musk from accessing data at seven federal agencies
fourteen states as a as for a restraining order to
block Musk doze a Department of Government efficiency from firing
(03:22):
employees and gaining access to sensitive records.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Now.
Speaker 10 (03:24):
The group of attorneys general argued the power granted to
Musk by President Trump is unconstitutional. However, the judge said
the AG's hadn't shown specific examples of how doge would
cause irreparable harm to the states.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I guess we have to wait and see.
Speaker 10 (03:39):
But President Trump and the first friend, Elon Musk, they
took part in a joint interview on Fox last night.
Trump credited Musk with implementing many executive orders he has
signed since taking office. Again, Trump said that a lot
of his executive orders will be ordered into law, and
he said Musk works with his group at DOGE, who
he referred to as geniuses to get things done. Elon
(04:01):
also expressed his affection for the president, and here's what
he had to say.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
If you really didn't believe the media, become one of
your best friends.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He's working for free for you, the president. I just
want to be care about that.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I don't care about that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I know, I love the I love the President.
Speaker 11 (04:15):
I think I think President Trump is a good man
and he's you know, I've.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Said what he said that you know there's something that
I said that it really is.
Speaker 11 (04:24):
You know, because I mean, the President has been so
unfailure attacked in the media.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's truly outrageous.
Speaker 11 (04:32):
And I've spent at this point, spent a lot of
time with president and not once have I seen him
do something that was mean or cruel or or wrong.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I really don't understand how how what you know he's
being allowed to do with constitutional or legal like why
does an unelected person have that type of power?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Like over twelve thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Federal workers fired, they fired and then tried to rehire
nuclear weapons works as workers accidentally fired people at the
USDA working on flu like.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
What happened to America? First, you have a foreigner in
control of people's money and livelihood.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
How is that? Okay, hmmm, talk about it.
Speaker 10 (05:08):
So Musk went on to say that the assassination attempts
on Trump in July only sped up the process of
him endorsing Trump and speaking from mar Largo, Trump called
Musk a patriot, So let's hear those comments.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Elon is to me a patriot.
Speaker 11 (05:21):
So you know, you could call him an employee, you
could call them a consultant, you could call them whatever
you want, but he's a patriot.
Speaker 10 (05:28):
So there has been a lot of hoopla around this
whole doze thing about who's in charge. So the White
House has recently said that Elon Musk is not in
charge of the Department of Government Efficiency. That's according to
a recent court document filed. The filing, signed by the
Director of the Office of Administration at the White House,
says Musk has no actual or formal authority to make
government decisions himself.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I know.
Speaker 10 (05:50):
President Trump has made public statements saying that Musk is
leading DOGE. So it's very controversial and it's you know,
we're trying to figure it out. So the affidavit says
that Musk is a special government employee and serves as
a senior advisor to the president.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Furthermore, in that uh that I can.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Say, I'm not five to six A but you got
eyes right, You're not five six, You're like five to two.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Is there any good.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
You just the people talking?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I think this is really funny.
Speaker 10 (06:19):
So Hannity, Trump and Musk also spoke about X, the
app formerly known as Twitter, and how X recently paid
Trump ten million dollar judgment. You know, he had that
lawsuit out against him, but you know it added that
Musk got that had to cut that check. Basically, Musk
got a huge he said. Trump said, Musk got a
huge discount and he doesn't even realize it. Of course,
the president sued the social media app before Musk got it.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
And they all paying they tithes and offerends of Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
ABC.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
You know, paramount about to pay day tithes and offerings
to Facebook Guardy paid they tithes and off they all
any tithes and offerends of Trump.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
So Furthermore, in that interview, Musk also said that he
felt that the president isn't being wrapped represented and that
the will of the people. If the president isn't being represented,
then the will of the people isn't being represented. So
speaking of the will of the people. In San Francisco, California,
I think this is an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Guys.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
Officials are investigating three men who claim to be from
the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE. Authorities say that the
men went to city hall wearing DOZE shirts and MAGA
hats and demanded records from several offices and employees. The
men demanded digital information related to alleged wasteful government spending
and fraud. City hall employees refused their requests and called
the police. Then the men fled the city before deputies arrived,
(07:33):
and the Sheriff's office says it does not believe the
men were actually representatives of DOSE.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So all that does is encourage this type of behavior.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
Having someone who is not like you said, and government official,
someone who has not been elected but seems to be
leading the country.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
We call them the first front.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
First, all I know is if you run on the
economy man, and you know within three weeks, you know,
twelve dolland people have lost their job, that's never a
good thing. I want to salute the five Well five
W one movement. They're the organization that led the protests
on Monday. They had fifty protests in fifty states and
they were protesting against you know, Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
And that was on Monday, and.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
I mean there was literally, you know, thousands of protesters
all across the country. So drop on a clues bond
for them.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Sorry, that's your front page news for six a m.
At seven am, we'll talk about more with Elon Hunt
and uh, I guess we would call it a foreign
affairs and what's going on overseas and how that whole transport,
how all of that transpires.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
And then we'll also get into some aviation news and updates.
So I'll keep you guys.
Speaker 2 (08:34):

incompetent Americans, not incompetent foreigners. Merit merit based all right, Well,

Right now, I'm trying to slow us on my songwriting.
I'm trying to fok us on that hating on somebody,
a straight man who just don't like me because he
is because I'm gay. I ain't got time for it.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
Over it.
Speaker 19 (14:09):
It's been seven years. I beat him in a rap
battle seven years ago.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
He has not let it go.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Baby, You gotta let that go.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
He really ain't let that hurt go. He's been hurt
ever since you busted his ass in that rap battle.
I'm not gonna lie to you, trap. Listen, happened in
real life? You ever busted somebody ass like physically like
you just you just you know, pounded him out and
they couldn't get.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Back.
Speaker 19 (14:29):
Around that time, he was threatening me right like like
real life, trying to pretten me. And I told he
clear didn't know who I was. And I told him, so,
I'm gonna be at dj Envy's car show. And I
told him to come up the enemy's car show. I'm
gonna whoop his ass show.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It's a kid.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
It was gonna be in the parking lot.
Speaker 19 (14:47):
Vy, you don't want to know me and my cousins
were going to trash him in that parking.
Speaker 4 (14:51):

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Damn Seane, Damn y're bothing.
Speaker 19 (14:56):
No, no, my cousins not.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
I was gonna say, damn, he gotta beat by budget crazy,
but don't be bringing to my car show.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
We're gonna be in the parking lot. I already nobody
want to know. There's worse things you could have did
this after and beat it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So I'm trat.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Bye, y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Hello, who's this top of the morning? This is fab
what's but get it off your chest?
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Well, I mean, the only thing I want to say is, uh,
there's a lot going on in the climate, the culture
and everything. I just want to say, uh, simply that
as an American who is black. I voted for Donald Trump,
born in Harlem, raised just stout you making queens. I'm
proud of what he's doing. And also as a proud
Black American, I want to say that our group is
(15:46):
not making the progress we want to due to a
lack of patriotism. We are leading with a physiological hatred
for white people who we share the same country with.
Speaker 16 (15:57):
Me.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
It's one thing to have an argument about things that
took place in the past and want to make it right,
but it's another thing to hate your own land and
country that you cannot be deported from and expect the
best from it. So we have to be Americans first.
Black is second. We got to I don't want to
say it like that, but we just got to bring
(16:18):
more patriotism. You know, we got to support America. We
are Americans first and foremost, so that means that, you know,
we belonged to a greater dominant.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Cultural Groupes CAUs your question because I do believe America first.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
How do you feel about a foreigner being in control
of where the government spends money and a foreigner, you know,
being responsible for twelve thousand American federal workers being laid
off and when you talk about you know, you know
what you say, you said you gotta be be black
put back to the patriotics. Well, I mean I wish
that you know, you would tell you, you know, your
your your administration, that you voted for that, because you know,
(16:57):
when you look at things like the EEOC being dismantled,
are you look at how they're rolling back you know
DEI initiatives? Are you look at the Education Department cutting
race based programs?
Speaker 6 (17:07):
And yes, And that's a great question. I'm glad you
brought that up, and I want to answer that as
a natural born, foundational black American, we want those things.
You see, we tend to associate what's the word I'm
looking for, We tend to associate corruption with this white face.
But over these last twelve years, throughout the Obama administration
(17:30):
and everything, black people have had their chances. We have
been coming in positions of leadership, overseeing many different states,
from mayoral positions to political positions.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Even presidencies.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And it is shown that black people are just as
prone to corruption as well if you look at different
majors who are the city. So we got to stop
associating that.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
It's not about it but I don't understand what I
don't understand last.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Point, last point, last quick point. You said, what about
a foreigner? Okay, so America is a land of the brave,
home of the free. Many foreigners here. It's not about
where you're from, it's about your mindset on America. If
a foreigner has a positive mind state about American left
this plan and want to put it first, and that's fine.
But if a foreigner like ilean Omar, somebody like that,
(18:16):
is representing another country while in our Congress we elect
people that want to represent us. All Americans, Black Americans,
white Americans, people who are probably be Americans ain't no
more waiving another flag in this country. And black people
have to stand up and take ownership and pride of
this land that they helped build and beat Black Americans
(18:40):
and sharing that we don't have to hate white people
and teach our children.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
I don't like these generalizations that you making, Like I
don't know who told you that all black people hate
white people?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Like where did you get this logic from?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Y'all got this conversation behind the scenes because we got
to go get it off your chest.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Broad generalization came from.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Five eight five one oh five one. If you need
to vent, you can get it up now. We got
just with the mess coming up. What we're talking about
speaking of freedom and letting it bring.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Is not goofyak yes, because he was preaching brothers.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 14 (19:42):
She was able to get y'all to see something and
understand something that nobody could get you to see.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That's time to set it off.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
I'm happy that a SAP is free. That's another black
man who can be home with his family, like you know,
he's got them two.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Kids, that wife.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
We might get an album from Rihanna, you know, yeah,
her man just beat twenty four years.
Speaker 13 (20:03):
I feel like we're not gonna get the album now
because he just because they're gonna be busy.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Did you what did that say about asad Rocky is
a rabbit that y'all want to hear from his wife,
but not him.
Speaker 16 (20:13):
Y'.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I mean, Sugar put him on the album.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
I want to.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I want to Rihanna album because they found that.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
It's been ten years for re Rito, so I love
people want an album. I mean, I ain't never gonna
stop wanting that.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
I do love her.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I like her.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Well, yes, now we can focus back on her now
that this man is free.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I mean, let me tell you.
Speaker 13 (20:31):
Listen, yesterday, so Asap Rocky was found not guilty. Yesterday
in court, he was found not guilty of all charges. Uh,
so he's gonna walk free. And the minute that the
verdict was read, y'all talking about Rihanna just to his family,
and it went crazy. Let's take a listen, b A
five is zero.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Eight one or two.
Speaker 21 (20:51):
That's zero way we luxury above the time of actually
find the defendant ROCKI mayors guilty.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I loved that.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
Yo.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
He jumped over that that bench in Rihanna's arms.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Huh.
Speaker 13 (21:13):
There were reporters in the court back in Qunif. She
said that actually Rihanna was in tears that they read
the verdict and when he jumped over and hugged her,
and his family was in tears as well too.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
They had no safer place to beat. In those women's
arms he dived into four years.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Four years.
Speaker 13 (21:28):
Yeah, and that happened pretty fast. I know it probably
didn't feel fast for Rocky or for Rihanna.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
For his family.
Speaker 13 (21:33):
But fourteen days they went to deliberations yesterday came back
at the end of the day. It was around like
eight o'clock when the jury came back with the not
guilty and yeah, he was facing he was accused of
firing gun at his former friend Asap Brelly, so he
was looking at some time. Now, people though, aren't asking
what happens because okay, so on one side you have
(21:54):
ACEPS attorney who's like he lied on the stand a lot.
So what are we gonna do about this? Let's take
a listen to Joe Tachapina, Asap Rocky's attorney after court.
Speaker 22 (22:01):
We're grateful for the jury they saw through this barrage
day they won.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
He was innocent.
Speaker 22 (22:08):
He turned down a plate for almost no jail time
because he was innocent.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This was an extortion.
Speaker 22 (22:13):
The extortion played out live in color in court. What
it says is that the district attorneyship looked long and
hard at prosecuting Pyrel Frock. We said that from day
one they should do it. Now they have them admitted
to perjury. They have a committed assortion destroy stowed through
it and came through it the enormously quick as screeny
verdict for me, my partner Chad where honored have represented
this amazing family. Kim Rockey is one of my closest friends,
(22:37):
but he's also just a great, great person.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
They said, Joe probably get charge of perjury.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
He should, that's what they're pushing for many extortion.
Speaker 13 (22:50):
There's a few moments on the stand where he had
said things and then it was debunked and it was
a lot that happened. But also to Raley had found
that thirty million dollar defamation loss against Asas. That was
first that was it was like after the shooting, but
it was before the criminal started. Yes, yes, and that's
gonna have to be thrown out because he was alleging
that because of the shooting and because of the statements
that ace acept Rocky's attorney was making, he was being defamed.
(23:13):
He was being threatened online. And now you know in
the court of law, you were. It was found that
this didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
They could prove he lied on the stand. He should
have to be prosecuted.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He should be prosecuted because there's no way that Asap
Rocky has to pay for attorney fees, has to do
all these different things.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And somebody who lies on the stand just walks not.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Knew who Asap really was this situation and so now
it's just like that's what you're known for, you know,
for somebody who couldn't even rat.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Right, and I know even she got shot now real,
I mean, just yeah, he was lying.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Well do we really do?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
What should happen?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Yeah, well, congratulations of asap Rocky. My advice to never
leave the house ever again. Okay, but I can't happen.
Don't communicate with any n words after five PM. Situations
like this, though, is you get to really see who's who.
I'm sure over the last however many years has been
he's got to see who was like really in his corner.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
So s luthor U asap rocket.
Speaker 13 (24:06):
Yep, Yes, he's getting to his family, moving on a
CARDI be girl.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
So I said that that Stephan was keeping her busy.
She decided that to tweet about Offset when she got
to it.
Speaker 13 (24:18):
Yeah, well you asked yesterday did she respond? Did she
because you know she'll get online now listen, she didn't.
She didn't say offsets name in this tweet, but of course,
and she deleted the tweet. But we know what this
is given. So yesterday, after we reported about her amazing
Valentine's a weekend CARDI got on Twitter and she tweeted,
I'm getting harassed the worst way. I suggest you shut
up and leave me alone. In less than one hour
(24:39):
or people's careers will be getting ruined, including including this
in all caps, you famous bees that was getting ft
leave me alone. Now, we don't know who she is
claiming it's harassing her, but what the fans you know,
have gathered from this is that this is in response
to her being out and about having a good time
and it being picked up that she was out about
having a good time with us Stephan Diggs over the weekend,
(25:01):
and that the person that she is talking to on
Twitter is OFFSET because she does that often when they're
going back and forth. So, I mean, the tweet was
deleted and no one's gotten exposed, so I'm assumed that,
you know. Thirty five minutes into the hour, he realized,
let me just she said.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
All you famous girls, that was getting Yeah, I guess
you know, she said. She look at her and.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Put his hand on his hip when he said that
Cardi do it. I don't want to know what all said, hitless,
look like all at the head. We'd like to live
by cash. Leave to the young boys, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I see.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
They got kids together. I want to be able to
work it out and be able to still, you know,
move on.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
But I don't want to. I don't want, even though
I'm happy Cardi is doing her own thing, only because
you still got raised kids, don't.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I don't want.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
I mean, I don't want Carti to do that because
even though she's out doing her own thing, and I
understand how she feels about off set, they still got
raised some kids together, got kids.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
It's a lot, you know what I mean?
Speaker 13 (25:59):
Why the extra Nama girl.
Speaker 7 (26:01):

like he's poking that. Ever since he's been seeing her
out having fun, moving on whatever with whoever, it is,
like he had been poking. Yeah, he's been trying to Yeah,
and even dragging his nuts all over you know what.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
I mean her, Yeah, she could do that.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Put the molds up, I mean, put them bitches out there.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
But that's just gonna make all set look good depending
on who the girls.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
No, it's not.
Speaker 13 (26:35):
Because depending on how close they are to her industry wise,
like if they in her vicinity too much, you're gonna
look crazy because your wife is crazy.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Me he do.
Speaker 13 (26:41):
Wasn't whole her down.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I just pray somebody can get in between and and
be like, look, we got kids, Like the kids can
see this. Everything is online right now, let's work this out.
Speaker 3 (26:48):

Yeah, that's just with you, man SR.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
When we come back, we got Front Page News and
then Will Packer will be joining us.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, you're checking out the
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Hoping everybody is dj NVY just hilarious charlamage the gud
We are the breakfast club.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Listen, what's up we're talking about. We're getting updates on
what's happening in aviation. You see left and right, there's
all kinds of incidents. So nearly three hundred Federal Aviation
Administration employees have been fired by the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
The employees got their notices over the.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
Weekend and a move to call their union in a
move their union calls a hastily made decision and an
agency already challenged by understaffing. Now the workers affected include mechanics,
aviation safety assistants, and others.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
On Monday on x that less than four hundred of
the agency's forty five thousand employees were let go and
they were all probationary. He said none of them were
air traffic controllers and critical personnel. Now this comes at
the same time officials say two people remain hospitalized following
Monday's plane crash in Toronto. Twenty one people were injured
in the incident at Toronto Pearson Airport and airport president
(28:35):
Deborah Flint said the rescue operation was a huge success.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
She talked more about the incident. Let's hear from her.
Speaker 21 (28:41):
Urgency workers and responders mounted a text book response, reaching
the site within minutes and quickly evacuating the passengers. At
the time, there were twenty one injured passengers, ranging from
miner minor to critical but not life threatening injuries. A
total of night eighteen passengers went to the hospital local hospitals,
(29:03):
with two more going to hospitals in the time period
after we have completed the reunification process for all of
the remaining passengers.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
So the Regional Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis was carrying
eighty people aboard. Official safe first responders and the plane's
crew of course, like she mentioned, issued a executed a
textbook response and the plane will remain on the scene
at the airport for the next forty eight hours as
investigators continue to look into the cause of the crash.
I know that there has been rumors that there was
a wind gust, and then also now that video has
(29:34):
been released, it seems like some of them landing gear
could have been compromised.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But again, we'll keep you posted.
Speaker 10 (29:38):
I don't want to get too ahead of myself in
regards to what caused that crash.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, it was anna ask, they said. In the video
you can see the plane actually catches on fire as
soon as it lands. So they don't know what the reason.
Was it emergency landing or it was just a regular
did they say?
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Still not to yet again they.
Speaker 10 (29:52):
From what I've heard so far is that the landing
up until the point of impact was pretty normal, really yeah,
and then there was it was almost like all of
a sudden, they were on their side and then upside down.
So again, it does appear if you look at the
video like the landing gear may have been compromised or
one of the wheels of the plane, which could have
also catered to the barreling of that plane. So well,
(30:15):
again I don't want to get too ahead of myself,
but they are investigating the cause of the crash, and
I will keep.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
You guys posted.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
So in foreign affairs, President Trump is blaming Ukraine for
starting the war.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Now.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Speaking for mar A Lago, Trump said he thinks he
has the power to end the war and he thinks
it's going very well. But he heard, oh well, we
weren't invited, and well, he went on to say, well,
you've been there for three years, adding you should have
you shouldn't have started it, and you could have made
a deal. He's referencing Ukraine. He's talking about President Ukrainian
President Zelenski. So this comes as the first piece talks
(30:47):
between the US and Russia have in the Russian.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
War in Ukraine are done.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
Secretaries of State mark Or Rubio and other US officials
met with a Russian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
He says the US one to move quickly with the
peace talks in the Russia Ukraine War. Let's hear more
from a Secretary of State Marco Rubia.
Speaker 23 (31:05):
We're going to appoint a high level team from our
end to help negotiate and walk work through the end
of the conflict in Ukraine in a way that's enduring
and acceptable to all the parties engaged. We're going to
point our teams respective their work very quickly to re
establish the functionality of our respective missions in Washington and
in Moscow. For US to be able to continue to
(31:26):
move down this road, we need to have diplomatic facilities
that are operating and functioning normal.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 10 (31:31):
I think it's a little counterintuitive that Rubio is overseas
having these peace talks while Trump is at home talking about, yeah,
you should have started a deal and blaming Ukraine for
starting a war that you know they were once invaded
side by.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
The way, that's insanity though, Like you know, you can't
have peace talks if you don't have both countries that
sabea like that basically means like you know, you've given
Russia whatever it is that they want, yep, and you're
deciding you're deciding Ukraine's feed for them.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
That's right, So ukraining him for President Zelensky, he did
say that his government didn't know anything about the talks,
and he said that he will not accept a peace
deal that is made without his country's involvement.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Fair enough, switching gears to me.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Said, I don't believe that he won't accept something.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
If there's a deal that's made, you know, and it
brings peace to the country, I don't think that he,
you know, will not accept it just because he wasn't
at the table, because I.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Mean, what if it is a good deal. I don't
know if it will be, but what if it is yeah.
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Fair enough and switch In just this last little story
I thought was really interesting because we're always talking about,
you know, who could be president?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Who could be next? Steven A. Smith?
Speaker 10 (32:35):
He is considering running for president kind of. I won't
get too much into the semantics of it. Let's just
listen to this audio.
Speaker 24 (32:41):
Although I have absolutely positively no desire to be a politician,
because shaking hands and kissing babies ain't my thing, being
a professional beggar looking for donors, looking for campaign dollars,
looking for elected officials to try to curry favor with
them so I can get what I want legislatively and beyond.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Although I have no desire to do any of those.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Things, I do have an insatiable desire one day, when
I'm more qualified, as I really dig my heels into
this stuff, to be on a stage debating presidential candidates
for the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And in order to do that, I would have to
be a candidate. What do you guys think about that?
Speaker 10 (33:19):
He may not be the ideal candidate, but it further
speaks to your point, Charlemagne, that maybe the non traditional
politicians are actually in demand.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
What do you think, you know the Washington Post called
me about this yesterday, man, and you know, I'll repeat
what I said. That's just Stephen A is a great
media personality. I respect who he is and that s
face tremendously. I hope ESPN makes him the highest paid
person at the network because he deserves it. But when
it comes to him being president, Look, you never know
what God has planned for a person. But I have
to say the fact that the media is entertaining this conversation,
(33:49):
the fact that I've seen politicians asked about this, shows
how unserious we are.
Speaker 10 (33:55):
That's the whole conversation that he's having. He's saying people
are coming up to him actually saying it to him,
or even a president. So he's saying, where are we
as a country if whatever sport's broadcaster is being considered
running for president.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Comes Well, what happened was one of Donald Trump's old
posters actually put his name in a poll and like
he came back with like two percent of the people
said that they would vote for him.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
I think that was done purposely.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I think it was done to be a distraction, and
I think that you know, when I saw Hakim Jeffries
asked about it, and I wish Hakim didn't even entertain.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
It because they're a big offisher fry.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Like you know we talked about earlier, twelve thousand federal
workers laid off because of Elon Musk unelected. You know,
official controls, how the government pays everybody. With Elon Musk again,
social security will probably be on the chopping block next
all because this country decided oligarky is better than democracy.
So I got mad love with Steven as a media personality,
but entertaining a conversation about him being president at a
(34:51):
time like this, it's just so unserious, crazy, it's such
a distraction.
Speaker 10 (34:55):
Maybe not him, but you do you think that non
traditional politicians should somebody should step up, non tradition someone The.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Only non traditional, the only, yes, the only non traditional
person that I would love to see in that field
is John Stewart.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Literally, everybody, we got to get back to business. I
don't want to got the knowledge base.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't want to see no more celebrity in chiefs
and let John Stewart desire if he wants to take
a real stab at it.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I don't want to see no celebrity in chiefs, all right,
No celebrity and chiefs. No more first buddies. All right,

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Just hilarious. Charlamagne the God we.
Speaker 2 (35:54):

We got a special guest in the building, his new book,
Who Better Than You, The of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Ladies and gentlemen, Will Packer family, what's going on? How
are Black and Hold? How you feeling? I'm feeling amazing.
You know I'm up here.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I'm up here with one of the most incredible platforms
in media right now. Interesting time in media, you know media,
ebbs and flow. We're in an EBB right now. In
the movie business, Charlottagne. You know, yeah, just you know,
coming off the strikes, coming off of COVID, like, the
movie industry never really recalibrated. So there's a lot of
folks out there that are hurting right now, a lot
of folks that aren't working, out of actors, out of work, writers,
and so as a producer, you know, I'm just trying
(36:33):
to keep people hired, trying to do what I do
and create content. Most people out there, they don't realize
because there's so much content out there and so many
streaming services. It's like, oh, it's everything out there. I
can see whatever I want. But actually the.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Media companies are making a lot less. So it's interesting
time in the business man.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
Who better than You is the name of the book?
What makes you decide to write this?
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yo?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
You know, I have been in the movie game for
almost thirty years now, and I have dealt with some
of the biggest names, some of the most impressive successful people,
some of the most toxic, insecure people, and throughout that process,
I have gained a set of skills that I want
(37:13):
to share with people about how you can be successful
and manifest the more full life, how you can use
some of the skills that I've learned that are transferable
to any industry to navigate be it. You want to
start a new endeavor, you want to overcome a challenge,
you want to pivot in your life. And so I'm
telling stories I've never told before, stories from dealing with
(37:35):
you know, some of my Hollywood folks.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
But it's really lessons, right, it's lessons.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
About this is how you deal with people, how you
position yourself to succeed, and how.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
You have healthy arrogance. Now to be confused with toxic arrogance.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Right, Toxic arrogant walks in the room and says, I'm
better than everybody here.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I'm gonna win because you're gonna lose. Right, I'm better
than you.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Healthy arrogance walks in a room and says, okay, number one,
I belong in this room.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The most successful people feel that they don't feel like
am I supposed to be here with all these important people.
Healthy arrogance feels like I'm supposed to be here. However,
I also have something to add to this room. This
room is better because I'm in it, and I'm going
to get other people to understand how they and I
have a commonality in terms of our goal. If you
can get other people to see the value in what
(38:24):
you're going after, then you can then get them to
row in the same direction as you and work towards
your own goal. That's what leadership is, getting other people
to realize that it's not me against you. If I
can get you to understand that together we both benefit
from working together and accomplishing things that are my goals
as well as your goals, your chance for success is increased.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
You know, when I read about you talk about healthy
arrogance or hear your interviews about healthy arro against it
feels like you're saying you just got it.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
It's like a sense of worthiness. It's value.
Speaker 16 (38:55):
It is.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
It is very much understanding the value to place on yourself, right,
Charlotte Man, Because you talk about mental health a lot, we.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
All have this drum beat in our head, right.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
It can be a negative drum beat of I'm not ready,
I'm not worthy, I don't have the skills, I'm not prepared.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
More and more you tell yourself that, the louder those
voices get.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
But there's a confidence muscle that you can build that
you can grow by telling yourself the exact opposite that
I am worthy, right, that I am prepared, But it's
really about assigning value. The thing I say to people
is that understand, from the time you are born and
to the time you leave this earth, you are building
your brand everything you do, right, I mean, you can't
make mistakes.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Everybody does.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
But every decision you make in everything you do is
building your brand, and it is telling people what value
to assign to you. Whether that's somebody that is looking
to invest in you, looking to date you, looking to
just hang out with you, you are telling them what
your value is. And you have to be healthily arrogant
in the way that you force other people to recognize
(39:56):
your value.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Damn. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
So if you don't have nobody, that means you know,
we're well, you know, I'm not gonna say that. You
mean like a relationship, Well, that just means that you
have to be sure that you're surrounding yourself with people
that understand your value. It might mean that you're worth
more than people want to give you credit for talking about.
It might mean you're single because other people don't recognize
your value and you're not willing to compromise for you
(40:21):
have something.
Speaker 8 (40:21):
To say latte.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
What dog won't they.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Coming this way? The sassiness caught me off. God, is
that what it is? Are you with your hair back?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I was asking you a question because I like what
you're talking about. Okay, all right, well, yes, absolutely so
if some you know, somebody happens to be an amazing,
beautiful single sister. I don't know you know the relationship
status of everybody here, but let's just say present company.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Why Well, because she said you had a sassy.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Next, so she is. She is immediately the most entertaated
person at this.
Speaker 13 (41:06):
I want to ask you about imposter syndrome. Yeah, and
when did that? Like, when did you get past that?
Where did you deal with that at all?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Yourself?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I absolutely deal with everybody deals with Everybody gets to
a point where they feel like, yo, do I belong right?
Do I deserve to be in the most important spaces?
And I've been very, very fortunate to be in some
incredible rooms with some people that are, you know, some
of the most powerful people from around the world. As
I said, what I realize is that when I'm walk
(41:32):
in those rooms, I cannot question if I'm supposed to
be there. I need to realize what is it that
I have that nobody else in this room has? And
how can I double down on that?
Speaker 6 (41:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (41:45):
So black man, African American, Film, American, Hollywood, not a
lot of folks at my level in the rooms that
I'm in.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Oftentimes it's all white people in those rooms.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
What I choose to do instead of saying, Okay, I'm
the only black person in this room.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
I know they race, i know they're looking at me
a certain way. I know they have a negative perception.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
I'm walking in the room and I'm thinking, Okay, you
know what, I'm bringing something that nobody else can bring.
When I talk about my perspective, when I talk about
my audience, when I talk about my community, nobody else
can debate me on that because I'm the only one
with that lived experience. Whatever it is in the rooms
and the circles that you're in, what's the unique thing
that you have, and then you triple down on that
that will help with that imposter syndrome. The other thing
(42:24):
is that you have to understand, like you don't have
to be somebody that's just born with like an overabundance
of confidence.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
It's something that you can.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Build, but you do have to build it by putting
a success with a success with a success, right Like
just like hey baum deg said, check with a check,
with a check, you got to build the successes. And
sometimes to do that you got to come back and
not say, Okay, my first success has to be so big, right,
just accomplish something. I call it fabricating momental. I believe
(42:52):
that sometimes we get stuck on the first rung, the
very first thing I'm trying to get started. I don't
have any money, I don't know people, don't have a network. Okay, right,
doyn't make the first thing you're trying to do to
climb the mountain.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Right, that's a lot. That's a momentous task.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Make the first thing by the shoes hiking boost, then
buy a rope, then drive by the mountain and look
at it. Well, you know you've done three things right,
Get started. Do something that helps to build that confidence
we all need that.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
We got more with Will Packer when we come back.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
His new book Who Better Than You, The Art of
Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, is out now is the
Breakfast Club, Good morning morning, everybody is dej envy just hilarious.
Charlamagne thea God we are the Breakfast Club. We're still
kicking it with Will Packer.
Speaker 8 (43:35):
Lauren, you have a chapter in the book.
Speaker 13 (43:36):
I think it's chapter twenty Yeah, chapter twenty one. All
you Need is one white guy. Yeah, get into that
chapter a little bit, because I know you just mentioned
being the only in the room and kind of dealing
with that, like talk to us a bit of putting
that chapter in why and kind of what your experience
has been and why you titled it.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Yeah, the chapter Sometimes all you need is one white guy.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
And it's actually the irony of it is that I'm
saying that what you need is an advocate.
Speaker 6 (43:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Everybody he does nobody.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
I don't care who they are, how successful they are,
nobody does it by themselves.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
What I'm saying is that your person may not be white,
may not be a guy.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
Right.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
And so when I came into Hollywood, there was a
white executive. It was a white gay executive. He used
to tell me that he felt like he was trapped
in the body of a black woman. I said, okay,
his name was Clint Culpepper. I said, Clint, first of all,
don't tell nobody else that executive all and can get
you some therapy to unpack that. But he was somebody
that was an advocate. He was he didn't play spakas.
(44:32):
He didn't he didn't go to FAM you or nothing
like that. But what I said was he wanted to
make movies that were aimed at African American culture, and
I was interested in me an African American storyteller. I
made him look good to the studio and so he
then in turn gave me more power and more movies.
Remember that advocacy is a two way street. Oftentimes we
(44:54):
have our hands out. I need somebody to help me.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
What can you do for me?
Speaker 2 (44:58):
The best way to get help and the best way
to find your advocate? Right, your quote unquote one white guy.
I don't care what it looked like. It could look
like Charlotte Mane could look like just it doesn't matter.
The point is to get that one person. You gotta
add value to them, make them look smart, figure out
what it is that they need, and then once you
were able to help them, they're gonna want to continue
(45:20):
to help you. Right, This guy wanted to make movies
that were similar to the ones I made. I made
them look smart because I was able to make them
for a certain number and they overperformed in terms of
their budget. And so we made a bunch of movies together. Right,
But you gotta figure out that person that you need.
You gotta find that one person. Nobody does it by themselves.
And whatever that person is, figure out how you can
add value to their lives.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
Don't just think about what can you do for me?
What can you do for me?
Speaker 2 (45:43):
No, that's not how the people at the top level thing.
Did he get out your way? Did he let you create?
Or he absolutely did? Yeah, and it became a very
semiotic relationship. It was a two way street, right, So
he was he went out and got financing from Sony
Pictures for the movie someone Early like if you look
at my think a Man's no good deeds, obsessed Takers.
Anybody remembers those movies? Those are all movies that open
(46:04):
number one at the box off. Those are movies that
I made when I was at Sony Pictures. And these
are movies that he financed. But our very first one
he gave it was called The Gospel, right, the Gospels,
gospel music movie. It had Start it Yourself was Interest's
first movie off the wire. Boris Kojo had all the
gospel stars in it, from Kirk Franklin, Elina Adams, Fred Hamill, everybody.
He gave me a budget to go out and do
(46:27):
that movie totally on my own. I did not go
spend the money frivolously, and I did not go spend
the money and not return it. I went out spent
that money on a three million dollar movie and it
made fifteen million dollars. It's not all the money in
the world, but that's five times what they spent on it.
So he looked good at the studio and so they said,
(46:48):
oh that's great. Who is this guy that you're working with.
Clinty said, oh, yeah, that's my guy. We want to
make something else, and he continued to feed me as
I continue to make him look good.
Speaker 7 (46:57):
Now, your book is motivational and inspirational, right, but it
leans on comedy too. You love comedy because the interesting
thing is the back the quotes you got quick quotes
from Kevin Isa, Kerry Washing.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
What made you do that?
Speaker 2 (47:12):
It just quote is that I did not authorize Will Packard,
used my name in this book and did it anyway.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
It tells you all you need to know about Will Packard.
That's one hundred percent truth.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
All those quotes are truth because I come with Kevin
pretty hard, and and so he said, you know what,
I don't have to like this and I don't have
to laugh at it. So if you look at the quotes,
I reached out of my industry friends and I said,
just be honest. Steve Harvey's quote is by my book
first and then by Will.
Speaker 7 (47:37):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
That's very much how Steve as. But you know, for me,
it is a lot of it is told through humor,
It's told through comedy. I have had an incredible career.
I look back and I can't believe it's been thirty
years in the game. I can't believe I've had the
success I've had. That is because of the people listening
to the show. It's because of you all and me
come on the show.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
It's because of the support of that audience. But the
reality telling it.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Now I can look back with levity and with light,
and now I'm saying, Okay, learn from what I went through.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
You know what I'm saying, learn from that moment when.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
Kevinhart left me on the set of Ride Alone to
go shoot a stand up special and almost sunk the
whole movie.
Speaker 8 (48:17):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (48:17):
I don't want to hear you talk bad about Kevin
no more after reading chapter twenty two, Rush's chapter if
all those fails open the fruit stand benefits of Phelies.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
And I don't want to give it all the way.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Yeah, but I'll just say, you got into Jamaica with
an inspired passport. I snuck into a foreign country, and
you called Shla to fix that problem for you. Going
into a country with an expired passport and feelessness is criminal.
It was not the smartest thing I've ever done. Criminal
And I just started shout out to Sheila. It was,
you know what the point of that when you read.
Speaker 3 (48:47):
That chapter, sir, is sometimes you can get away with crimes. No,
that is not the point of it, And that is
not what it was. It was the fact that I
was first.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
It was one of my first dates with this new
woman that I had met and met this amazing woman
named Heather, and you you know what it was just
we got to the counter and my passport was expired.
Because with a passport, you know it's like seven eight
years or something. Right, That's good, but that's also the problem.
You don't think about it.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
I got to that counter and they said my passport
was inspired.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
This is my first trip out of town and I'm
trying to be impressive, and she looking at me like, oh,
I'm with that guy. I'm with the guy that don't
even have an active passport and don't check this stuff
out and you will pack it.
Speaker 6 (49:29):
I what.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
So I was like, I got to figure this out,
so I do tell the story about how I snuck in.
The bad thing was that I was able to get
out of America, and I didn't think about the fact
that once I got into the country, my passport was
still expired and I would have preferred to be in
American jail versus a Jamaican jail Arctic. So I kind
of didn't think it all the way through. But here's
the point. We all have situations, right. Life is hard
(49:53):
where we have to then decide after we are in
a situation that we can't control. So once I got
into Jamaica, I was there. I had the best vacation
ever because at that point you gotta go hard. So
I encourage people, right, there are times when you get
into a situation that you just got to say, you
know what, there's nothing I can do but live my
(50:13):
life to the fullest in this moment. Don't stress about it.
Don't get anxiety about it once you're in it. Once
I was in Jamaica and I snuck in, I knew
I might go to jail. I said, Yo, I'm gonna
have a good ass time.
Speaker 7 (50:24):
You had to go hard because her group chats. You
ain't wanted to tell her friends?
Speaker 3 (50:27):
No, definitely not, But I locked that down after she's
my wife. Now that head that she is here with
me right now. Did you tell your friend yes, whether
you were an accomplished I just want you to know
that you can.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Oh yeah, Hea, Heather, definitely yeah. She had to flirt
with the Jamaican dude help us get into the country.
I don't want to say no, no, I did. I definitely.
I definitely threw my wife out there. That's not one
of my proudest moments. I said, maybe you gotta do
what you gotta do. When Kevin wanted to go do
his standing up and go to the party, yes, we
heard that. It was completely irresponsible. Do not try to
defer in that man. He was irresponsible. He knew exactly
(51:02):
what he was doing. It The biggest movie is our
Careers and he overbooked himself.
Speaker 13 (51:05):
Come on, man, woman of your career life with the
Heather you fifteen years later?
Speaker 3 (51:10):
It was, it was, and it panned out.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
And one thing I would say about keV if anything,
he works too hard, it wasn't malicious in what he did.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
He overbooked because he does work too hard. And that's
the other thing.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
The most successful people who have accomplished things that you
may look and say, how do I get there?
Speaker 3 (51:24):
The only difference between them and you is just that
they haven't stopped. That's it.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
They just keep going. They've made all kinds of mistakes, right,
They've had to pivot. And I always say, giving up
and quitting are two different things. Never ever ever give up.
But you can quit, right. You might be doing something
the wrong way.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
You might need to quit. Everybody I know that's really successful.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
Has quit doing something some way and pivoted the power
of the pivot.
Speaker 3 (51:47):
Never give up, all right? We got more with Will
Packer when we come back.
Speaker 2 (51:49):
It's the Breakfast Club, good morning pointing. Everybody is tj
Envy just hilarious charlamage. The God we are the Breakfast
Club Lone, the Roaster's here with us as well. We're
still kicking it with Will Packer book Who Better Than You,
The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, is out now, Chelamaane.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
I want to get to the art of the pivot,
but first I want to ask you about the chapter
that says, stay in your lane.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
Yeah, just just make it wide, lean into your thing? Yes?
Speaker 5 (52:12):
How does one avoid being typecasted by leaning into their thing?
And when do you know the pivot?
Speaker 3 (52:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (52:19):
You know it.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
The whole point of that chapter is about when you
have something that you do really really well, because many
times people are afraid of being locked into something that
people will think that's all I can do, right, But
if you do that thing and you do it really
really well, do not stop. Okay, don't stop. The most
successful people have a thing that they do and they
(52:41):
do it well. Then they use the ability to be
successful in a lane to go out and do something else.
I'm only able to write this book with a major
publisher because I've been very successful in a particular medium.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
Right now, I'm able to go and do other things.
So don't worry about that. Oh well, I can do
so much other stuff. What's the thing you do really.
Speaker 2 (52:59):
Well, do that, triple down on that, be the best
person in that particular field, and by the way, find
your passion within that.
Speaker 3 (53:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Too many times people are telling me, well, I'm not
passionate about something. I gotta wait to find my passion
and before I go out and work really hard. And
I'm telling you, you're building your brand from day one.
Work hard today.
Speaker 3 (53:20):
I didn't have a passion to be a filmmaker, I
will admit that, but I was. I did not. That
was not my dream growing up.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
But I found that I was really good at knowing
how to hire actors and raise money and self distribute.
And then I found the passion in storytelling later. So
I found the thing I was really really good at,
and then I found my passion within it. I encourage
people to do that and worry about being type passed.
Stay in your lane, but you can make it wide.
I'm not trying to pigeonhole you, and I'm not trying
(53:47):
to limit what you can do, but stay in your lane.
Too often we are trying to do too much, and
now you can't be the person that's doing everything the best.
Speaker 3 (53:58):
That is just not how humans work. What's the thing
you do well, triple down on that.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
So once you've leaned into your thing and you find
that thing, there's never a pivot from that thing.
Speaker 3 (54:07):
It can be a pivot where you use that thing.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
You use your ability, you use your brand, you use
the fact that you have got credibility in a particular space,
you have done the exact same thing. You use the
fact that you have credibility in one lane in order
to then expand your lane. Right, But it should still
all be about this is the thing that I do.
That's why I say stay in your lane, but make
your lane wide.
Speaker 13 (54:31):
Is there ever a time where like you're because I mean, look,
I remember when you told the story about Kevin what
the last time you guys were here? And now I'm
seeing in context of this book of like who better
than you? And I feel like in that moment he
had the arrogance to be like, I can do both
of these. I'm going to be fine, and it's all
going to work out. But things like that can kind
of get pretty tricky because what if it hadn't have
worked out? Is the ever a moment where you have
to tell somebody who's coming to you for this type
(54:52):
of who better than you. Advice like, maybe this is
not it for you right now. Maybe there's someone better
than you right now, but that doesn't mean later you
might I'd be able to have that who better than
you are?
Speaker 3 (55:01):
You have to be honest with yourself number one.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Right, We live in a world where people think either
they are too great or they are too awful. Rodger
Kipling has a poem called if, and my favorite stanza
in that poem is if you can meet with triumph
and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same.
That is saying that both triumph and disaster are impostors,
(55:27):
neither of them are real.
Speaker 22 (55:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
Too many times, because we post some on social media,
everybody tell you, oh my god, you the greatest thing ever?
Speaker 3 (55:34):
Is so good? Or the opposite. They just hay, no,
you're telling you how offul you are.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
Neither of that is true. You gotta stay even keeled.
So the first thing you gotta do is be honest
about you and your skill set. It's the only way
you're gonna get better. Don't worry about external factors. You
got to have a very honest conversation. One of the
things I talk about in the book is how we
have to make sure I'm a daily affirmation type of person.
You're there encouraging yourself right, giving yourself positivity, telling yourself
(56:01):
how you're ready, how you prepared, what you can do,
but also being very very honest with yourself.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
I don't care what you tell the world.
Speaker 2 (56:07):
A lot of yourself, a lot of your mom, a
lot of your cousin, a lot of your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife.
Speaker 3 (56:11):
Do not lie to yourself. Be very very clear about
what it is that you do. Well.
Speaker 5 (56:16):
Yeah, you know, I want to talk you about the
pack of family model too. If you want to have
what others won't you have to do with others don't. Yeah, yeah,
you got your mom with you again for her, I
got moms, I got you know what. It's something that
mom instilled in me.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
You know when I was growing up, Mom and dad
they took me like you know, like Simmling the lion
king and lifted me up and said, you know, whatever
the son touches is your son. Like I encourage my
folks with kids, do that. Tell your kids because that's
when they're the most impressible. Tell them they can do anything.
They told me that it so I was.
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Very audacious growing up with my family. It's me, my wife.
We have four children.
Speaker 2 (56:50):
So that's the sixth path. If you want to have
what others don't, you have to be willing to do
what others won't.
Speaker 3 (56:55):
Period. That is the mantra.
Speaker 2 (56:57):
The mantra is that understand whatever it is that you
want to do, if anybody else can do it, then
it's not special. You're not gonna get it right. You're
not gonna get something that's unique. You gotta be willing
to do what others are not to get that thing.
And I believe that the more you do hard things,
the better you become at hard things. The more hard
(57:20):
things you do, the easier hard things become. So don't
run from doing hard things. Don't run from doing the
things that everybody else says it's crazy. That's the only
way you're gonna get strength and to build that muscles
by doing those hard things.
Speaker 3 (57:34):
Why I say dream.
Speaker 2 (57:35):
Big because your dream has got to be so big,
because they're gonna be challenges along the way. It's gotta
be so big that it pushes you past those challenges inevitably.
Because if the dream is just a mediocre dream, like man,
it'd be kind of cool to do that. Then when
you run into a speed bump and that's really hard,
you're gonna say, you know what, it ain't worth it.
Speaker 3 (57:50):
I'm cool, right, But if the.
Speaker 2 (57:51):
Dream is so big, right, I mean so big for
color eight four khd, like super crazy beyond your wildless
dreams big, then when you do hit that hard moment,
those challenges, you know it's worth it to keep going
and keep fighting because the dream is big enough.
Speaker 4 (58:11):
Is Will Packer allowed to turn his own book into
a movie?
Speaker 11 (58:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (58:14):
Limited, seriously, Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I'm Will Packer.
Speaker 8 (58:17):
You know I think about doing it.
Speaker 2 (58:18):
I could do that.
Speaker 7 (58:19):
I saw Heather in the background this day.
Speaker 3 (58:21):
You know what hed to say in the background.
Speaker 4 (58:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (58:23):
I just saw something.
Speaker 13 (58:25):
I was giving a lean like maybe no, don't do
it right now or something.
Speaker 8 (58:28):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
I've made this book not to turn into a movie
or a TV show. You never say never, because you know,
one of my biggest movies is Think Like a Man.
Steve Harvey will tell you he never thought of that
as a movie, never.
Speaker 3 (58:39):
He never wrote it for that.
Speaker 2 (58:41):
I wrote this to give the master mentorship that I
didn't have people coming to me a lot and saying,
tell me about your success story, tell me about your failures,
tell me about what you had to overcome.
Speaker 3 (58:53):
And so what I tell these stories? Right, and I
talk about you know.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Beyonce turning me down five times or in yourselba you
know almost not walking the carpet at the first in
means and how you get past that? Like when I
tell these stories, I'm doing that so that other people
can benefit from you.
Speaker 3 (59:09):
So I could turn into a movie, but that's not
what I made it for.
Speaker 2 (59:12):
I literally made this book so that I could influence
other folks who are either on their way up, thinking
about making a pivot or living a life that they
know could be a.
Speaker 3 (59:22):
Little more fulfilling. Well, we appreciate you for joining us.
Will pack a new book.
Speaker 2 (59:26):
Who better than you to all the healthy arrogance and
dreaming big out right now? Always a pleasure to see
you go out there and by this book making the
New York Times bestseller. Massreciate your found I appreciate you man,
thank you, thank you all for having me. Charlae Mann,
and thank you because you're somebody that you know and
I told you this. We saw each other at the
Democrat National Convention and I told you I had written
my first book, and I was inspired by your books
(59:48):
and by reading your books and just seeing that process
and the grind that you put in. So you never
know who's watching and who you're inspiring. So thank you,
my brother, thank you for having me.
Speaker 3 (59:56):
It's Will Packer, It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Jess
with the messag up.
Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
There, just wanting everybody's ej NV, Jesse, Larry Chelamine, the guy.
Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with
the mess.
Speaker 6 (01:00:07):
You is real.
Speaker 20 (01:00:08):
Weather is just Carrobbor Moore just don't do no lines,
don't do that talky talk those stations world why Jess
worldwide messments.
Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
On the breakfast Clubs. He's the coach of ship.
Speaker 14 (01:00:23):
She was able to get y'all to see something and
understand something that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Nobody could get you to see this time to set
it off.
Speaker 7 (01:00:31):
So Drake is on toy. He been having Tantrum's girl.
He's been doing all types of acts. He's been, you know,
trying to prove that he's not dead. He's very much alive.
It's a lot going on. I don't even know why though,
I mean, but he is charting.
Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
So I am gonna give him that.
Speaker 13 (01:00:45):
Yes, he's charting. That is exactly where I was about
to go. I don't know why because at this point,
I know we talked about it here and I know
y'all don't care but sex, some sexy songs for you.
But the boy is moving. He is right now some
sexy songs for you. It is supposed to be headed
to number one on Billboard.
Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Uh, congratulations, nice, nice, big.
Speaker 13 (01:01:06):
That's a big thing for him, because I feel like
I'm not even gonna lie. I feel like the Kendrick
goggles of not like us has changed the way I
even which is so unfair.
Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
It's still a superstar he still has. He's still gonna
hit number one on all those charts.
Speaker 8 (01:01:21):
I got the.
Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
Labels calling saying, what song you know it should be
at radio. So even through the lawsuit, I know, but
last week.
Speaker 7 (01:01:29):
It's hard to not look at some of the things
and then like to see what he's doing, and then
you just immediately think back to some of Kendrick's lyrics,
like remember he was like I hate the way that
you walk, the way that you talk, even the way
that you dress.
Speaker 13 (01:01:40):
Yeah, people talking about his outfits and I'm like, that's
crazy because I know, even the stuff he's been doing
on tour, so like the shoot there was like one
one girl wasn't want to do and the.
Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Jersey evening the shooting things.
Speaker 13 (01:01:56):
But that's what I'm saying, he said to myself. I'm like,
but he's been doing this.
Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
It was the same thing with the outfits.
Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
He's been doing the outfits to no, no, no, he
used to dress a little bit the them funny outfits
in the matching outfits with the bright colors.
Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
He would do them.
Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
I ain't never seeing where a T shirt that said
where do you see my d in the arrow point
in his mind?
Speaker 13 (01:02:15):
I mean probably not that exact T shirt, but that
that was the T shirt that it was, what do
you see mine?
Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Pointed, Ja, There's no arrow pointing to it he was.
That wasn't on stage. That was he was walking around.
Speaker 7 (01:02:27):
I've never seen him with a hoodie on with smoke
coming from the holes like I just you know.
Speaker 13 (01:02:31):
I think even though you know that's headed up the charts.
I know, give me a hug hit number one on
like us like an Apple Music chart as well, too, amazing. Yeah,
I do think that the Kendrick lamar not like us.
Effect is a thing because even he posted, well he
there was a video of like a drone that was
flying around. I think it was just like a promotional
ad low key for Drake and Steak, which is where
(01:02:52):
he don't have sports gambling.
Speaker 7 (01:02:54):
Even when I saw that, I'm like, why are you
doing all that? It's like we've we've then I been
taking off, But he did.
Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
He did these stupid videos before, you know what I mean,
and everybody loved it before they he always he would
always do these stupid videos conversations.
Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
Like the workout.
Speaker 13 (01:03:14):
I wanted to show some love because the music is charting.
Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
I don't know, does it sounds like love ahead.
Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
First of all, y'all are having a conversation about Drake.
That's been going on since the beginning of time. Drake
has always charted and he's always been corning.
Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
I ain't never said I.
Speaker 7 (01:03:28):
Honestly, just now, to be honest with you, we weren't
considering him.
Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Some girls are like Drake had over.
Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
One's a Drake hater, but he's always done them stupid
commercials like him working out and and act like he's
listening to music.
Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
He's listening to Taylor Swift as he works out. He's
always done these. And he also he has a huge
fan base. Even even whether or not Kendrick Lamar won
the rap battle, we know that, and he's still charging
it with Drake still has a base.
Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
Yeah, yeah, wow and other.
Speaker 13 (01:04:01):
News exactly because he gives out birkens and were gonna
leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
He ain't giving us one.
Speaker 13 (01:04:08):
I got one, should know, No Drake from Drake his
birthday party, Yeah, we gave you one. He literally raffles
him off for his birthday party. We didn't want getting
another one because you're sitting next to the biggest hate.
Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
So he just gave you one.
Speaker 13 (01:04:21):
He raffles them. He gave him five that night.
Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
No, I don't believe that. I swear. My sister used to.
Speaker 13 (01:04:25):
Dance for him on the Scorpions tour and I went
to his birthday party.
Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
That's it's no little sister, have you ever been to
drakes sister? Tell us now.
Speaker 13 (01:04:40):
I went to Drake's birthday party and he gave away
five Chanel bags that night, and I was one of
my I didn't think it was real. I even went
up to them and was like, yo, what is going on?
And They're like, we do this all the time. I
don't have it today, but you have seen it before.
It's the big boy, the great one.
Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
Okay okay, oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:04:58):
No it's not.
Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
She got a but no, she got the bitch.
Speaker 8 (01:05:01):
Now that's the one. I told her.
Speaker 7 (01:05:02):
I like, I do like it anywhere New Year's So
she said that with British British Vogue, and when she
was up here, she asked her question and she looked like,
what are you talking to or what? I'm sorry, I shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
It was something like that, Okay, yes, so Tyler, but
I know, I know, you said.
Speaker 7 (01:05:30):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (01:05:31):
So Tyler was here at the Breakfast Club and she
was asked the question about how she identifies as a
black woman or not. She recently brought this back up
when she was speaking to British Vogue. Let's take a
listen to though, what happened when she came here to
the breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
Poo me on these debates that they be having about
your identity as a South African colored person, what does
that even mean?
Speaker 8 (01:05:52):
Can we yeah?
Speaker 11 (01:05:53):
Can we not?
Speaker 6 (01:05:55):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
I like that we're keeping that in the interview too.
Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
I like when they talk from.
Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
The back and say we can't.
Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
I like that even better.
Speaker 7 (01:06:05):
Tyler wasn't that bad, wasn't man that baby with that
neck around like, uh, he asked me a.
Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Question that we said don't ask.
Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
By the way, the label made that bad. Okay, because
the label came in here and said, don't ask these questions.
Of course I'm going to ask that, but we told
we told the label that we was going to ask
the questions. And look how I asked the question. I said,
school me going her an opportunity too. It was polite,
you said it nice. It wasn't an attack and didn't
even and then it.
Speaker 7 (01:06:32):
Was like twelve things on the list we couldn't talk about,
and it was like, damn, what else can we ask?
Speaker 8 (01:06:36):
You know?
Speaker 13 (01:06:37):
But when she sat down with British Vogue in context,
like in you know, fullness of the conversation, she was
talking about, you know, just her career and representing where
she's from and you know, just how she's been handling
all of that and what representation is like for her
and why she doesn't feel the pressure to do so anymore.
And they brought up the interview and they said that
the interview basically like made the matter kind of worse,
and they asked her, you know, why didn't she answer?
(01:06:59):
And she says, you know, me choosing not to say anything.
I'm happy that I didn't. I didn't want to explain
my culture and something that is really important to me
on a platform that is just going to be purposefully misconstrued.
I've explained it a lot of times before, but people
took that and put words in my mouth. They said
a whole bunch of things that I never said and
ran with it. If people really searched, they'll see that
in South Africa we had a lot of segregation. It
(01:07:19):
was bad for a lot of us. They just classified us,
and that's just so happens to be the name that
the white people called us. They chose to call they
chose to call people that were mixed colored. And I'm
not gonna lie. It was hard because all my life,
obviously I know I'm black, but I also knew that
I'm colored. So when I went to America and people
were like, you can't say that, I was in a
position where I was like, oh, so what do I do?
What am I? Then she could have said that here, she.
Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Could have answered that here. Charlamagne didn't ask it a
negative way. She could have just answered just like that.
It's true.
Speaker 7 (01:07:48):
In South Africa, it was a lot of segregation. It
was a lot of things going on in the past
and all that stuff. And she she's still young, but
ever since she was a little girl, you know, she's
been called colored and she get overhead and we can't
more about the actual color you are than.
Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Just being colored, you know. So it's just it's cultural differences.
But she definitely could have said it.
Speaker 4 (01:08:06):
She's probably more prepared to answer it now.
Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 13 (01:08:11):
I think she might have been nervous about how she
would be challenged in this room versus the definitely British
Vogue is a little bit more. But they're not going
to in it's print.
Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Said school on you didn't test.
Speaker 7 (01:08:25):
She would be very honest, it is. This is a
very intimidating room depending on who you are coming here.
And people do come you know, they come up here nonetheless,
but they come up here just like sometimes people might
come up here on edge and until they realize how
cool that you are and and that you're not this
ugly person, you know what I'm saying on.
Speaker 8 (01:08:42):
The inside, Yeah, on the whole face.
Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Yeah, you're not right. Then they'd be like, okay, you not.
Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
So by the way, laur you look better that FA know,
but listen, you know you today right. We do this
all the time whenever guests come up. Whenever guests come
up here, I guests have things that we don't want
them to ask. It's up to us whether or not
we say yes or no to the request. That literally
happened yesterday. There was a person that called and said, hey,
I want to come up, but I don't want to
(01:09:17):
be asked about this. And we said, well, we don't
think we cannot ask you about that, and so the
person decided not to do the interview with that.
Speaker 7 (01:09:24):
That's nothing, that's right, well breaking news, Oh my god,
break it real quick.
Speaker 8 (01:09:29):
Girl.
Speaker 13 (01:09:30):
Cassie is pregnant.
Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
That's not breaking. That was on the stream. Man go
your way. Man popped up about an hour, like an
hour like I used to wear so club. You're like
(01:09:58):
into the breakfast club.
Speaker 12 (01:10:00):
I wanted to know how you came up with them.
Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
Don't be a name because you mean.
Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
There's a bunch of donkeys do that is what I
remember life where we might are tongue based off Coolie
may have fined he never was saying on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
In the words of Charlemagne, to God, he's a donkey,
ah Man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey the day to who now.
Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Donkey of today for Wednesday, February nineteenth goes to Terrell
Ephron known as asap Rally. Now, I never heard of
a brother before this case with Asaf Rocky. If you
haven't heard, by the way, Asaf Rocky was facing two
felony councils assault with a firearm in connection with this
altercation that happened with a sap Rally.
Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
But yesterday he was acquitted of shooting a Savarell. He
found not guilty on all charges. Let's go to the
ABC News Florry fourth place.
Speaker 16 (01:10:59):
Asap Rocky, he was looking at more than two decades
behind bars if he had been found guilty. So if
we put ourselves in his shoes, it's easy to understand
the amount of emotion and joy and relief we saw
from him when the verdict was handed down not guilty,
relief and joy as Asaf Rocky heard not guilty. The
rapper whose real name is Racki Meyers literally leaping into
(01:11:21):
the arms of his partner Superstar rihannaup. It was the
first of two verdicts handed down in his favor as
he faced two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon,
accused of firing a semi automatic firearm at former friend
Asaprelli in November of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
This whole experience has been crazy for the past four years.
Speaker 8 (01:11:39):
But I'm thankful.
Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
Nonetheless, I'm thankful and this we're blessed to be here
right now, to be a freeman token to y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
Thank you, all praise.
Speaker 5 (01:11:46):
Due to God, travel to clues bombs with Asab rock
with all praises do to God. Why didn't keep calling
him Rakim? I thought it was rock Kim. Can't he
name after rock him rock hem Eh? And he keeps
saying Rakkim.
Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
But let's be clear, Asavrelli was just trying to get paid,
all right, more and nothing less.
Speaker 5 (01:12:01):
And this is the world that we live in. When
you are a personal statue, you know, some celebrity people
think you got some paper, you will always look like
a walking lick to those folks, which is why my
advice to everyone who got something.
Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
To lose isolation. All right, put your boundaries up, stay
within your circle. Everybody that's not within that circle is dangerous.
Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
And as we see in this case, sometimes people in
your circle are dangerous most of the time, the most dangerous.
Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Now, I know this type of betrail has been going
on since the beginning of time. But we really in
a suite happy world, and you got folks like Asaf
Relly who are looking for a quick payday and.
Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
They don't care who they lie on to get it.
Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Now, the reason Asaf rally is getting donkey other day
is because he can't even rat. Right, all right, Relly,
you just on the stand and got caught lion every
which way. I mean, you took the standing, just live, live,
lied every which way you could possibly think of. I'm
talking up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, press B,
press A, press art.
Speaker 5 (01:12:59):
Oh, Relly, you need all the lives you can get. Okay,
you got to understand and tried to take Rocky out.
But you're spinning the wind. And now you the one
would talk two on your chin.
Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:13:09):
According to Rocky's defense, you committed perjury, all right, allegedly, Okay.
Some of your mistruths. According to TMC in the New
York Times, included you denying shooting guns at the firing
range in LA only to be confronted with video of
you shooting guns at a firing range in LA. Rocky's
lawyer asap Joe what's his name, Tacopina? Asap Joe Tacopina,
(01:13:31):
I think too, Tocopoena. He thinks you're allying so much
that he blamed the La County's DA office for embracing perjury. Now,
what I found interesting was there was these phone calls,
and then the phone calls you admitted you just wanted
some money.
Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:13:44):
In fact, you said you wanted to try to shake
Rocky down for money in a certain way because you
didn't want to be accused of extortion.
Speaker 4 (01:13:50):
Can we listen to that call.
Speaker 21 (01:13:53):
All right.
Speaker 11 (01:13:56):
Away?
Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Another island.
Speaker 7 (01:14:01):
Just relax, You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
They're gonna scrambling ki because now.
Speaker 22 (01:14:06):
They have to up against Rocky the same.
Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Indeed, they have evidence and.
Speaker 22 (01:14:11):
That they need the same when we present to a
jury and you don't have a complaining witness.
Speaker 5 (01:14:16):
Now this call was presented in court, and listen to
what really said about the calls.
Speaker 22 (01:14:25):
You guys just keep playing faith Audio two like face
Up I never said none of that to him.
Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
It doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
It was in that moment that the jurors made up
their mind. Okay, between this and the fact that the
weapon Rocky had was a prop gun. By the way, Rocky,
don't ever do that. Why are you walking around with
a prop gun for protection?
Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
How's that gonna scare somebody? All right, especially somebody with
a real gun? What if they quicker on the drawed
in you? What if they pull the airs while you
pull you off? Then what you're rich? Higher armed security.
Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
But listen, really, the moral of the story is y'all
needgros watch too much power. Okay, matter of fact, you
not even power, you empire. You wasn't even trying to
be realistic. Really, Okay, if Relly was a GPS, you'd
never reach your destination. It'd be just a bunch of
wrong turns and detours. He's the friend that tells you
he's five minutes away and hasn't even left the house.
Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Yet, just lying for no reason.
Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
And really you found out firsthand what happens when you
put your hand on a bible in lie.
Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
Rocky found not.
Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
Guilty, but you Oh no, no, no, you wasted the
DA's time playing around. Somebody gotta go to jail. Okay,
why not the guy who allegedly may have committed perdrie.
Why not the guy who allegedly was trying to extort
their friend for thirty million dollars rally. You said they
was gonna be scrambling to find you on an island. Well,
(01:15:44):
I think that in the future that island's gonna be richers. Okay,
Please let riby Ma give Terrell efren aka asap rally
the biggest he.
Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
Hull hee ha hee ha, you stupid mother?
Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Are you dumb boy? People can lie?
Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
He should be prosecuted. That's crazy if us found persuring.
Speaker 5 (01:16:04):
Prosecuting and words can lie for no reason. Can't do
because people gotta stop that?
Speaker 20 (01:16:08):
What?
Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
All right? Well, thank you for that, donkey. Who I
tell you.
Speaker 5 (01:16:13):
I'm lying though, and I tell you trust me even
though I'm lying, Okay, And I tell you that you
should believe me even when I'm lying tomorrow of the
stories I'm telling you I'm lying.
Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
All right, Well, let's open up the phone line. Thank
you for that, donkey.
Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
To day eight hundred five eight five five one is
a new study and the study says forty percent of
women claim they avoid having children out of fear of
becoming a single mother.
Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
That's the topic y'all came up with.
Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
Yes, you gotta Yes, I did have one.
Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
You Okay, a working mother who wakes up every single day?
Speaker 4 (01:16:44):
How old is Marli non?
Speaker 3 (01:16:45):

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
You wake up every day, come to work, lactating, doing
stand up on the weekends.
Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
Okay. Where do you find the balance of work in
family life?
Speaker 7 (01:16:59):
Literally trying to find it. It's ongoing for me. I'm
still trying to balance that. It's crazy. And then you
know that's just the things that you know I do.
I do so many other things still too. And then
I have a twelve year old son. You know, I
have a partner. And that's why I understand even that
study is like these women, they are afraid of being
(01:17:22):
alone to do it by themselves.
Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
You know, I have help, and it's still hard, you
know what I mean. So I definitely and you got
a lot of help. You gotta.
Speaker 7 (01:17:31):
His mom stand and my sister. Yeah, even with a
strong supporter foundation, it is still so hard because when
that baby want me, she only want me, She don't
you know, it's no, and she know she's looking at
that chest like boy ware, you know what I mean.
So it's like it's a lot. It can be a
(01:17:52):
lot at times, but I'm still trying. It's ongoing. I
don't have it figured out yet.
Speaker 5 (01:17:55):
So think about all of the women who don't have
the means that just has that listen to us every
single day, and you know they're trying to find, you know,
that that balance between work and family life because they
still got to get up and go to work even
though they got newborns and everything else.
Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Those are the people I want to talk to this morning.

eight hundred five eight five one oh five to one,
and we're talking to women this morning about work, family
balance and how difficult it is.
Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
And we started with you, Jesse.
Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Mothers just as a you know, I don't know people realize,
but they should. You got a six month old at
home and a twelve year old. Twelve year old, and
you still get up every morning to bring your ass
and hear the work, absolutely amongst doing a million other things.
Speaker 7 (01:19:08):
Oh my gosh, yes, so many other things. And then yo,
you know, for a lot a lot of people may
look at me like you know, and look at a
lot of people with money. Oh you got money, so
you good. Your money is not even like half of it.
You gotta have the mental to do it, like you
got to show up.
Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
And you can't. You can't be tired, you know, with
no baby.
Speaker 7 (01:19:26):
And we're just doing everything that I'm doing, like I
have businesses, I got products, I'm in the middle of
a rebrand, I'm touring. I'm waking up three point thirty
every morning and make sure I look good to come
up here. And then when you on the radio, like
this breakfast club, I can't come in here like I
don't feel like like I have to show up.
Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
I gotta be just hilarious, you.
Speaker 8 (01:19:46):

it all figured out, like I need to try to
act like I did.
Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
I really don't.
Speaker 5 (01:19:58):
So you're allowed to be like you're allowed to come
in here, you know what I'm saying and have your days.
And you know whether if listeners notice that or anybody
in the room notices that, there's a reason behind it.
Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
And then the main thing is when you go home,
is having the patience right, yes, because you have Ash
that wants to come and he wants to tell you
about his day.
Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
Yes, And then you have the baby that once mommy went.
Speaker 8 (01:20:18):

Then you got your husband that you got to make sure.
You got to make sure that he's okay, yup.
Speaker 7 (01:20:26):
And then even the baby's grandmother, the nanny, because I
got to make sure she's good too, you know what
I mean, Just like like if she has everything that
she needs for the babies, she needs a break, and
then I need a break. And then you know, Chris
need a break and he's still working it. Then it's
a lot to keep this thing going.
Speaker 5 (01:20:44):
Sure you could cut out the fact, cut out the
outpha so you don't got to come in here looking
good every more.
Speaker 7 (01:20:49):

definitely want to come up don't want to come.

like I don't want.
Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
To do that.
Speaker 3 (01:20:58):

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
Eight hundred five eight five one five.

One guess's talking about how difficult it is with her
doing comedy and the breakfast.
Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
Yeah, and then one thing is like write.
Speaker 7 (01:25:07):
Another thing is writing comedy, Yo, writing comedy, and then
writing a book, and then also just trying to keep
up with like the internet, with the whole skit thing,
like you know, cause I used to do way more skits.
It's like, Yo, it's never enough time in a day
to do all of that stuff because I have to
You gotta write the skiss. You just can't just do it.
Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
You gotta write it.
Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
I used to be able to just do it.
Speaker 7 (01:25:31):
Like things come to my mind, but with my mind
being on so many other things, no, things just don't
pop in my mind. No more jokes, know, So I
have to sit down and like meditate to write new
jokes and figure out what I'm gonna talk about when
I get u up here, when I get up here,
and then content just and I don't know, you never
feel like you're doing enough.
Speaker 5 (01:25:50):
How much material comes from your real life now, like
you know, your family, all of it, dating a Mexican.
Speaker 7 (01:25:55):
Yes, all of that, having a new baby at thirty
two versus when I was nineteen when I got pregnant
with Ash, and then just being the person who don't
want to talk on a phone to nobody no more,
because everybody wants something. And then even when they don't
want nothing, they got problems they want to hear. They
want you to hear them.
Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
Vent and it's like you ain't dealing with everything, yo,
Like damn, they take that.
Speaker 7 (01:26:18):
Just fix my mess very seriously. And I love for
people to do that because that is an outlet where
I can, you know, help people, but damn ask me
how I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
To fix you up. Definitely. We got Lola on the line.
Speaker 15 (01:26:29):
Lola, good morning, Good morning, DJOK.
Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Good morning. Talk to us.
Speaker 15 (01:26:37):
Well, the probable was about finding the balance, right, And
I think the key to finding balance is making time
for yourself. Because I have three kids, so it's hard
to find time to do things for myself, and you know,
we get so caught up and busy and rushing around
and doing things and accommombating everybody else. So I think
the key to balance is time to time to do
(01:26:58):
something for myself, even if it's just going to get
my hair done or taking time to read one of
my books, or I think that, Well, it may not
be the main key, but I think that is one
of the keys to find a balance being a mother,
because it is hard.
Speaker 4 (01:27:12):
Isn't it even harder when you got a new board.
Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
No, because even if you go away to get your
head done and you know you lactating and your breast
start to get hurt, hurt, and you can't wait to
get back to them to feed them, and you know
they can't wait for you to get home because they
won't eat.
Speaker 8 (01:27:24):
Right.
Speaker 15 (01:27:25):
Planning and properly planning, I guess we will be another key.
So you know, you want to make sure that you
had that milk ready before you go to your appointment,
so you pumped before you go. So I guess planning
will also be the balance.
Speaker 7 (01:27:37):
Sometimes it ain't even all about the planning. I've been
in the chair and had to pump while I was
in the chair, you know what I mean with other
people in the hassalon, like sometimes you can plan for things,
but it don't go as planning.
Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
Like you know, NICKI good morning, good morning, how you
feel and talk to us? We're talking work, family, balance.
Speaker 12 (01:27:57):
This morning, being a single parent.
Speaker 18 (01:27:59):
I think you never find the worst balance I was.
I got married in twenty twelve, my husband's parson waking
in twenty eighteen, and I've been a single parent basically
ever since. And I think that does weigh heavy on
women being afraid of having kids and being single because
I never intended to not have a husband. So yeah,
it was a blow to the family and it still
(01:28:20):
is every day dealing with it. So I think I
learned different techniques as I go, but I don't think
we ever figure it out.
Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
Yeah, thank you, Nikki.
Speaker 4 (01:28:27):
Hold on, you sound like did I miss it?
Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
I missed?
Speaker 4 (01:28:29):
What happened to the husband?
Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
He got locked up?

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Something, but it wasn't bad.
Speaker 3 (01:32:06):
It wasn't nothing bad.
Speaker 7 (01:32:08):
And then she said like she was just playing, and
it just seemed like she was more aggresive because she
was intoxicated. But she said she was joking. She didn't
really take that serious anyway. But I just I called
a patchy madgie or something like that. It was, it was,
it was very harmless. It was all right, though, you know, the.
Speaker 3 (01:32:27):

Speaker 12 (01:32:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
Damn hard right? Damn from Patties? All right, what's going on?
What's up?
Speaker 16 (01:32:47):
So?
Speaker 13 (01:32:47):
Uh, Puff's team? After jay Z got this dismissal to
happen on the civil side with the allegations of the
thirteen year old girl and all that stuff, now Diddy
team is like, okay, the windows open, let's jump on
in here. There asking for a dismissal, but they're asking
for on the criminal side. They're actually they filed docs
on Tuesday asking for the judge to dismiss count number
three of the US Attorney's case against Puff. The criminal
(01:33:11):
indictment that they have so Act number three talks about
like the Man Act. It's supposed to be in relation to,
like how you transport people to engage in prostitution.
Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
How many men you got to have section to have
a man a man.
Speaker 13 (01:33:25):
It used to be called the White Slave Trafficking.
Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Damn wow, it used to be.
Speaker 13 (01:33:30):
It was changed in June of June twenty fifth, nineteen ten.
It was that's when it was passed. But yeah, so
it's called the Man Act now it's named after this
this guy a man. Yeah he is a man. But anyway,
but what Puff is saying is that the reason, the
only reason why they included this is because they are
being racist because under this act, no black people have
(01:33:51):
ever I mean no white people have ever been prosecuted.
It's only been black people. He pointed out that this
is the same act that the government used to take
down Chuck Barry and Jack Johnson, who were both black men.
And he also says that there is no white person
that has ever been prosecuted under the White Slave Traffic
at for higher male escorts. And he's basically he's saying,
(01:34:13):
me and my girlfriends had male escorts come into our
relationship and it was consensual and the escort service is legal.
So why am I being punished for this? Y'all doing
this because I'm a rich black man.
Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
So he's back or the actors, and I just know
that because I just looked it up because it sounds
so crazy. But it's a federal law that outlaws the
transportation of women for im moral purposes.
Speaker 13 (01:34:30):
Yeah, but he's saying that the transportation happened because the
people wanted to be there, and the prostitutes or the
male sex workers he was bringing into the relationship worked
for a legal agency.
Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
He said he didn't force them.
Speaker 13 (01:34:40):
That's basically the same.
Speaker 5 (01:34:42):
I wonder if that matters though, because it says the
purpose of it is the prohibitive transportation of women for prostitution,
the bauchery, or other moral purposes. So does it matter
if they wanted to do it or not, or is
that just how people perceive whatever it is that you're doing.
Like if the judge said what you did, was the
botcherself a moral matter?
Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
If the women?
Speaker 7 (01:35:00):
I think if if it was consensual and the women
wanted to go, I mean I think.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
The prostitution is illegal. Yeah, I mean, if you unless
you want to do it. No, prostitution is illegal parents,
but even if you want to do it. Waitang, really,
so what about that sugar baby? You want to tell
us something?
Speaker 7 (01:35:16):
Yes, girl, because that's why I was like, then I
need to follow lawsuits. Yes, because I was definitely out
here sugar baby and m hmm, what a prostitute?
Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
Though? Okay, but he's trying to and said.
Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
It prohibits the coardion or enticement of women. Are girls
for those sexual purposes?
Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
But it doesn't say men too or just women. You
just can't.
Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
Why why you want to think about somebody and somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
Are so bad? Why go ahead, lorden, I'm listening.
Speaker 13 (01:35:43):
Coercion for money though, if it's your girlfriend or this
is like.
Speaker 7 (01:35:48):
It's so confused and it's such a slipping sleep saying.
Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
Y'all need to be that baby oil. How could it
not be?
Speaker 8 (01:35:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:35:54):
Like is that in the Man Act that you cannot
but the bauchery when people use baby.
Speaker 2 (01:35:59):
Hell no for what it's gonna have nothing to do
with white people. I don't even though what I called
the White Slave Traffic.
Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
Act it used to be called.
Speaker 13 (01:36:05):
They're saying that they're being racist. Okay, I don't know
because you saw.
Speaker 8 (01:36:08):
It that jay Z.
Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
He's seen jay Z was clean and he was like,
let me just take my what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
Yeah, Now as the discovery process happened yet where they
put everything out or they still haven't done discovery where
they know everything against him yet still add more to.
Speaker 13 (01:36:22):
The indictment, remember it with superseding. But no that we
haven't got there yet.
Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
All right, yes, with the mess thank you, Lauren.
Speaker 2 (01:36:29):
All right, did you really look up baby oil in
there to see if they have baby in the man

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy we
are the Breakfast Club is Black History Month.
Speaker 5 (01:36:55):
What we're doing today, man, every day during Black History Month.
My guy beat Out puts out a podcas Ass called
I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either, on the Black
Effect iHeartRadio podcast Networking today, he is speaking about Alice Parker.
She was the genius when vannaged central heating in nineteen nineteen,
proven that even in the world full of cold shoulders,
her ideas could still heat things up.
Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
Let's discuss I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (01:37:17):
I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
I didn't know.
Speaker 9 (01:37:19):
Alice Parker was this brilliant black woman born way back
in eighteen ninety five. So already you know, life wasn't
handing out participation trophies to folks like her. But Alice
looked around at how people were heating their homes using
wood and cold and thought, this is trash. I mean,
imagine chopping wood and freezing cold weather just so you
(01:37:41):
cannot freeze in your house. Alice had the genius idea
of using natural gas for central heating. Hey right, She
basically said, what do we stopped pretending we're on the
Oregon Trail and brought some twentieth century energy to the situation.
Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
How about that?
Speaker 9 (01:37:56):
Anybody in agreement with that? And she didn't just dream
it up, She didn't just talk it. She patented the
design in nineteen nineteen. That's like inventing wildfire before anybody
had ever seen a computer. And be clear, her design
wasn't perfect, It wasn't what we used today, but it
was revolutionary. It laid the groundwork for modern central heating systems.
Without Alice, a lot of us will still be holded
(01:38:18):
up around space heaters arguing about who gets to stand
the closest or them kerosene heaters and go to school
smell like Pumpy Levin and let's be real, there's only
so many toes you can lose the frostbite before you
start saying maybe there's a better way, y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
Now here's the kicker. Why don't we know her name?
Speaker 9 (01:38:35):
Why are you today years old just finding out about
Alice Parker And she did this over one hundred years ago,
barely a footnote in history. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison farts out
of light bulb and we all act like he invented
the sun and he didn't even invent the light bulb.
But that's a whole nother conversation for a whole another episode.
It's wild how black women like Alice were out here
(01:38:56):
quietly saving the world while getting none of the credit.
Her story should inspire us. She didn't let the fact
that she was a black woman in nineteen nineteen, when
the world wasn't exactly rooting for her stop her. She
had an idea and she made it happen. So the
next time you cozy in your warm house, remember Alice Parker.
She's the reason you're not out chopping wood like a lumberjack.
(01:39:18):
And if that's not worth a round of applause or
at least a thermostat adjustment in her honor, I don't
know what it is. Thank you, Alice Parker for making
winter survivable and for proven that sometimes the warmest ideas
come from the coldest challenges.
Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
Speaker 5 (01:39:36):
I know, Happy Black History Mom, that's right, make sure
you subscribe to it. I didn't know maybe you didn't
