Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yes, somebody got to do it. Front page News.

Speaker 10 (05:17):
Let's get into it, okay.

Speaker 9 (05:18):
So President Trump marked his first one hundred days in
office yesterday with a rally at Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan,
which is just north of Detroit.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
What up?

Speaker 11 (05:26):
Though?

Speaker 9 (05:27):
The President claimed his first one hundred days are the
most successful among any administration ever adding that he's just
getting started.

Speaker 10 (05:33):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 12 (05:35):
This is the best they say one hundred days start
of any president in history.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
And everyone is saying it. We're just we've just gotten started.
You haven't even seen anything yet. It's all just kicking
in one hundred days, we have.

Speaker 12 (05:49):
Delivered the most profound change in Washington and nearly one
hundred years. I read a editorial today that this is
the most consequential presidency in history.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
How about that?

Speaker 8 (06:01):
I don't know who to day is, Like, who's the
day that's saying that, because there's conservatives that aren't saying that.
There is the economists that aren't saying that. There's a
lot of people that are saying the polls, the poles
aren't saying that.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Who's day it's giving saying saying that?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oioding that.

Speaker 9 (06:18):
Speaking of which he also spoke about lowering of inflation
and ending what he called transgender insanity, Trump criticized new
efforts by some Democrats to impeach him, saying judges ruling
against his administration are obstructing the enforcement of US law.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Now.

Speaker 9 (06:32):
Trump went on to say that the Democratic Party has
gone quote totally crazy and have lost their confidence while
drawing chance from the Michigan crowd supporting a third term.

Speaker 10 (06:42):
Now Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 9 (06:43):
He had a different take on Trump's first one hundred days,
saying that it's been one hundred days of hell in fact. Meanwhile,
switching gears, former First Lady Michelle Obama says fears for
immigrants under Trump's administration keeps her up at night. She
made the comments on the On Purpose podcast with Jay Shatty,
where she said his foreign policies frighten her. She worries

(07:05):
for the people of color all over this country. Let's
hear more from Michelle Obama and now that we.

Speaker 13 (07:10):
Have leadership that is sort of indiscriminately determining who belongs
and who doesn't, and we know that those decisions aren't
being made with courts and with due process, and I
don't know that we will have the advocates to protect everybody.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
And that makes me.

Speaker 10 (07:28):
That frightens me.

Speaker 14 (07:30):
It keeps me up at night.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
Sure, tank She says, she drives around la looking at
the faces of folks who could be a victim and
wonders how they feel first one hundred days, which off,
how y'all feel well?

First of all, Michelle driving away, she need to stop that. Okay,
getting driven driving around?

Speaker 2 (07:50):

Speaker 8 (07:50):
But I will say this, it's funny that he's still
leaning on the trains thing because the trand thing don't
matter no more.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
That won you the election, but now you have to
govern and you have to keep promises.

Speaker 8 (07:59):
And you know when people really don't like identifying ass broke, say,
you folks need that paper. You told them that you're

talking about what she got is cured. I don't know
what the RaSE. I don't know this like, I don't
know what.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
It's definitely, you know, throwing yourself off. That's that's normally
what it is, just throwing.

Speaker 16 (17:11):
Off the heat.

Speaker 2 (17:12):

Hopefully he leaves you alone.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
And hopefully the girls that he listened, that that's listening,
he leave him alone too, because they got the razzle
dazzle too.

Speaker 20 (17:38):
Sorry reached out to me to Hilton's attorney because I
wanted to know what is going on with me, said
Mary J.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Blige.

Speaker 14 (17:43):
And we have an exclusive interview. We're going to get
into it, all right.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Morning everybody.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
It's d J, N V, Jess, Hilarius, Charlamagne, the gud
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Lauren becoming great fast.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
She gets them somebody that knows somebody, she gets the detail.

Speaker 14 (18:05):
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything, and.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
She'd be having the latest on you. That's the things
the latest with Laurence la Rosa. Sometimes you have facts,
sometimes you have details.

Speaker 7 (18:15):
Sometimes you have a little bit of everything on the
Breakfast Club.

Speaker 14 (18:20):
Alrighty.

Speaker 20 (18:21):
Also yesterday and here we talked about the fact that
stylist and mother of Diddy's son, Justin Colmes Mesa Hilton
Sue issuing Mary J. Blige for five million dollars over
Marble over wrapper Batto, which is insane because as a
lot of us know, and for those who don't, they've
been friends for decades. But this is called best friends,
it's called everybody by surprise. So I reached out on

(18:43):
all sides, and I got a call back from Lisa
Hilton's attorney yesterday when we were recording the podcast, and
he agreed to do a live conversation for the podcast
or recorded interview.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
Actually, and I want to know, mar to you leave
her to hell alone.

Speaker 14 (18:56):
I didn't reach out to her directly.

Speaker 20 (18:57):
I reached out to her team, and surprise, the person
I talked to hadn't even like they had been in
the shuffle things, didn't even know what was happening.

Speaker 14 (19:04):
So I just sitting them some information. I haven't heard
back from them.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Mary seem didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 14 (19:09):
The person I spoke to didn't know at all.

Speaker 20 (19:11):
I actually sent over, you know, some background information, some
articles for them so that if they wanted to, they
could make a statement that's.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Crazy or they was just thinking at the heart of
a woman's summit, I was just last year, like.

Speaker 14 (19:22):
So, Misa Hillton's attorney, we get into that. I'm gonna
We're going we get into that.

Speaker 20 (19:26):
So let's talk about first he spoke to me on
the relationship and why all of this is happening.

Speaker 7 (19:32):
Lisa Hilton and Mary J.

Speaker 15 (19:34):
Blige. They're not just friends.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Their non biological family probably closer than blood family. And
it's very unfortunate that this had to go down like
this because Misa tried every possible revenue in terms of
trying to amicably resolve this with Mary directly with Mary's camp.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
But unfortunately, and.

Speaker 6 (19:53):
It's unbeknownst to us why Mary J Blige and why her.

Speaker 7 (19:56):
Camp completely cut off.

Speaker 6 (19:58):
You know, Miss Hilton, and I can tell you this
vital lawsuit.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
Isn't why their friendship died. He's just confused and we've.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
Tried, Nissa's tried to reach out to Mary.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
We did not want this in the media. Mesa just
thought that Mary may have been busy.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
Or when Meissa stopped getting phone calls and text messages
and not being included on the normal things that they
do in the daily, weekly, monthly beatsis her and Tennis
went up and we tried to figure out, well, what's
going on here, and that's really when we started to
figure out that the relationship wasn't the same.

Speaker 20 (20:27):
Yeah, So from what he is explained to us, Lisa
Hilton was allegedly like blindsided by the fallow for the relationship,
which is also very odd because they've been friends for decades.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
You said, she so Misa was blindsided? She yeah, so
what by the.

Speaker 14 (20:43):
Way that the friendship fell off?

Speaker 20 (20:44):
Like according to Mysa's attorney, she's a legend that at
some point her and Mary just like stopped speaking, like
she was reaching out. Mary wasn't responding to phone calls,
wasn't a certain well you.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Got to get your attention somehow. I told you to
call me back.

Speaker 14 (21:00):
In the midst of that. What actually started happening was
is small things with Battle.

Speaker 20 (21:03):
So he was being invited to, you know, like little
private gatherings or conversations that were being had with him
about like, yo, you if you leave her as management Allegedly,
if you leave her as management and come over here,
we can get you more money.

Speaker 14 (21:14):
But until you do that, we're not going to do
certain things for you, allegedly.

Speaker 20 (21:17):
And also he has this new album out or this
new album he's trying to release that they're alleging Mary
will not let release because he won't leave Mesa as management.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
Question, when Misa is suing Mary for this money, is
she suing for what she thought the vital album would
make or is that what they spend on the project
the five million dollars.

Speaker 14 (21:33):
It's accumulation of things.

Speaker 20 (21:34):
So it's what he would have made from appearances, being
because he actually like does shows and stuff and opens up.
I'm assuming from Mary, according to this attorney, what the
music would have made, just anything, bookings, all of that.
She also legends in this lawsuit that there are certain
bookings and things that he gets because he's married j
Blige's artists, that I had.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
No idea he was Mary j Blige's artist. Well, I
had no idea anybody when you're.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, and when I heard the music, I assume because
you started hearing Vado and a bunch of Mary joints
and Mary and a bunch of Vido joints. So I
assumed they were working closely somehow, some way.

Speaker 20 (22:08):
Well, let's take a listen to more information on her
trying to reach out before and the fact that he
was signed to Mary before it got to this point
where you're saying that this is happening. How much correspondence
and what did you guys want out of that correspondence.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
The first thing that we always do with situations like
this is we'll send over a letter what we call
an LOI, a letter of intent. Before we did that, though,
what we did was we reached out personally.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I reached out to her legal team.

Speaker 7 (22:31):
We know who they are, and we tried what via email.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
The insects, message, whatever phone numbers we can get from
other people in our orbit, in the industry, and we
got absolutely zero response. And the way that we wanted
to do this was yes, in terms of a settlement.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
I mean, let's be honest here, Vado.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
I understand that maybe in twenty twenty five, on whatever
day today is, April twenty nine, twenty twenty five, that
maybe he's not as relevant as.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
He was prior.

Speaker 7 (22:58):
But God damn, somebody telling.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Label she signed to Mary J. Blunch see.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
And I'm glad the Lloyd say that, because I'm just
asking questions strictly from a business perspective.

Speaker 7 (23:09):
Did Bottle ever make Cam five million dollars? I don't know?
Did Bottle ever make Calm five million dollars?

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I don't know?

Speaker 7 (23:14):
So I'm just like, where did they get this five
million dollars?

Speaker 6 (23:17):
You know?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Sometimes when they asked, what would me say? And Mary?

Speaker 8 (23:19):
Why would me say? And Mary think that a bottle
alb would make them five million dollars. I'm just asking,
respectfully from a business perspective.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know, sometimes when they ask, they over asked because
usually it's a negotiation. Uh so maybe that's the that's
what the over ask is, but for somebody.

Speaker 20 (23:32):
And they also include attorney fees and like all the
fees of like just having to bring this suit and
like all of that. But also to remember, I told
you yesterday they were talking now in the lawsuit, missus
also talking about the emotional distress and just different things
that she's had to endure. And I'm assuming, you know,
as a business persus, she's taking a hit because you
promising this artist to be there and do certain things,
so she's anticipating this is this This is silly.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
I mean for them to be so such close friends,
I gues should never have gotten to this point.

Speaker 14 (23:59):
Yeah, okay, And I asked, how was Mesa doing now?

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Because of that?

Speaker 14 (24:03):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I mean, she's upset. There's a lot going on.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
I mean, listen, at the end of the day, you
know Sean Combs and what's going on with him. It's unfortunate,
but it affects everybody. You know, Messa is a wonderful woman.
You know, Sean's kids are wonderful, wonderful kids. I can't
say more about them. They they really were raised as gentlemen,
and I deal with them on a on a consistent basis.
But she's upset, and again, she's more upset of the relationship.

(24:28):
It's like it's like, all of a sudden, you have
a sister that you're being with forever, and forty years later,
all of a sudden, your sister stops talking to you
and you have no reason why.

Speaker 7 (24:37):
Yeah, but you don't escalate that with a lass.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, you can't be mad at somebody if not want
them to be a friend. Like, you can't assume me
for that. But now the business part, you can. I'm
about to say that should even be a conversation my
point of talking point.

Speaker 20 (24:47):
So I was gonna ask y'all, like when doing business
with friends, like a friend like this, if it got
to a point where that she's not responding, she's being told,
you know, Messa is being told, you know, the album's
not gonna come out. Allegedly, she got business lined up
for vide on no matter how big or small, and
it's messing with her business because she has an entertainment company.

Speaker 14 (25:04):
Do you see her? You just let it go because
that's your friend of thirty plus.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
There are no permanent friends or enemies when it comes
to business. But I mean it's respectfully. I'm like, we're
really gonna fall out of a bottle album?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah? Wow, like a Battle album.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
You'll know how the album sound though I don't, but
I know. I'm just saying, I don't think it's gonna
make you five million dollars. That ain't no reason for
y'all to fall out. This is clearly over something else.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
The bottle of.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
You even said, like the friend part of it, she
stopped talking to her.

Speaker 14 (25:31):
And all that, and yeah, because they was just they
did super Bowl together.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
You a woman event. They both were there. They were
a panel together and they was like together in VIP.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
This is clearly over something because Battle can Wrap Bottles
made some some some good records. But has he made
some money, had he made a company some money?

Speaker 2 (25:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
I don't know if he's made Camp five million dollars.
I don't know if he's made CALLI five million dollars
so I don't know how they get to this five
million dollar projection, That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
And not only that, how many units do you have
to sell to make five million? And as an artist
right now, sellos my amount of units.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
And that's although this ain't nothing to be falling out over.
Y'all been friends for forty plus years.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
But all I do know is if Charlemagne is not
my friend anymore, I'm suing you audio, You're not my friend.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
You all came I watch y'all have been more of
their friends.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
If I'm sending the l o he said an l
o I first, I wanna send that first, and then
I'm gonna show you.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
The l o I. That's what he said. Said I.

Speaker 7 (26:28):
Trying to do a letter of intent.

Speaker 14 (26:29):
For suing No, like it's kind of like sending like
a l o I.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
But I never heard of a l o I before
you see somebody. That's what he said. We said a
letter of attent first, and then they've never released it.

Speaker 7 (26:37):
But none of my interviews, no, because I'm still hung
up that they fighting the world bottle shut up.

Speaker 20 (26:44):
I was right, that is the latest with Lauren, and
then we broke this down on the podcast The Latest
with Laurna Rosa everywhere you listen to your podcast if
the full interview is there, and I am going to
get to the bottom of this because hopefully this will
spark some more conversation of what actually is going down.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yes, get to the bottom of it, Lauren, Yes, call me.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I got some news for you.

Speaker 14 (27:05):
Thank you. Hopefully someone I called it didn't answer.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
No, Yeah, okay, all right, Well when we come back,
we got front page news. It don't go anywhere. It's
the breakfast Club. Good morning, you're checking out the breakfast Club.
It's morning everybody.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
It's dj NV just hilarious Charlamage the guy we are
the breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page
news now. NBA Playoffs last night Pistons beat the Knicks
one O six, one o three. Knicks lead the series
three to two. Nuggets beat the Clippers one thirty one,
one fifteen. Then release that series three too. Celtics got
the magic about of there and the Pacers got the Bucks.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Up out of there. Last night? What up Morgan?

Speaker 10 (27:41):
He dj MV Charlamage. That's hilarious And Lauren, how y'all.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Feeling we good? Hey? Are we good.

Speaker 10 (27:47):
All right, let's get back into it.

Speaker 9 (27:48):
So House Republicans are working to craft what President Trump
calls the Big Beautiful Bill.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Now.

Speaker 10 (27:53):
House Speaker Mike Johnson he.

Speaker 9 (27:55):
Spoke, He spoke more about the projected deadline and pushed
back against Democrats claiming the bill cuts important social services.
Let's take a listen to those comments from House Speaker
Mike Johnson.

Speaker 21 (28:06):
We're going to get it done by Memorial Day. Send
it over there. They take a couple few weeks to
work through that. We merged this together, we get it
to the President's desk quickly for signature, and you will
see the results. We are going to preserve the programs.
We're not gutting Medicaid. We're going to reduce fraud, waste,
and abuse, which every single American should be applauding.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (28:24):
So the budget reconciliation measure that would implement much of
his spending agenda. The bill would extend twenty seventeen tax
cuts and keep Trump's promise to expand them the tax plan. Also,
the House Republicans are also pushing that tax plan with
a five trillion in breaks, two trillion and cuts and
five trillion and a five trillion dollar debt sealing hike.

(28:47):
So I'll keep you guys posted on what happens as
a result of that bill. We'll see what happens with
that spending bill. In other news on Capitol Hill, I
actually actually really love this story. The only black, all
female unit that served in Europe World War Two has
been awarded with a Congressional Gold Medal. Descendants from the

(29:09):
family of the six Triple eight Central Postal Directory Battalion
were given the highest civilian honor Congress can bestow for
their work processing some seventeen million pieces of male in
three months during the war. Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson
and House Minority Leader Hakim Jefferies came together to deliver
remarks yesterday.

Speaker 10 (29:30):
Let's take a listen to those comments.

Speaker 21 (29:32):
They didn't have all the high tech gadgets that we
have today. They had to do it manually, processing roughly
sixty five thousand pieces of male per shift. They cleared
the entire backlog and no less than three months.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
That's right.

Speaker 22 (29:48):
These fiercely passionate, patriotic, and persistent members of the Women's
Army Corps deployed knowing that they would confront the dual
challenges of rape and sexism at the hands of their
own military.

Speaker 9 (30:04):
Yeah, so they had six months to do the job,
and they completed the job in three. The story of
the six Triple Eight was recently retold in a Tyler
Perry Netflix film starring Kerry Washington as Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams,
who's served as the highest ranking black woman officer at
that time.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
And salute the legendary Nicole Avon, you know, for amplifying
that story with that series that you just mentioned, Morgan,
the Six Triple Eight on Netflix, because I'm sure.

Speaker 7 (30:31):
They would have been honored without that series.

Speaker 8 (30:32):
But I also noted that series, you know, helped, you know, amplify,
amplify that story of those of those people.

Speaker 10 (30:38):
So saluted them, absolutely long overdue. Can we get a clues, bam?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Absolutely all right? All right?

Speaker 9 (30:45):
And to wrap things up, speaking of women, send a
woman to do it. Former Vice President Kamala Harris. She
will be giving her first major speech today since losing
her White House Bitch. She'll be speaking at Emerge in
organization that works to put democratic women in office.

Speaker 10 (30:59):
In San Francisco on Wednesday. This is happening today.

Speaker 9 (31:02):
A person familiar with the event says Harris will take
aim at President Trump's economic policies and his influence on
American institutions. Harris is expected to decide on whether she
will run for California governor by.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
The end of this summer.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
So what do you guys think Harris back in the fold,
in the mix, or you know, take take a little
bit of an extended break.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
I think she's back in the mix.

Speaker 8 (31:25):
You know, I honestly would like to see her take
more of an extended break. Honestly, I think she deserves it.
But I mean, she could do whatever she wants to do.
But you know, I think after after the exhausting one
hundred and seven days, you know what, I would really
like to see her do, sit back and get some money. Honestly,
absolutely put out a book, you know, I don't know,
maybe maybe start some type of podcast here.

Speaker 7 (31:46):
Like I really like to see her sit back trying
to I know.

Speaker 10 (31:49):
That's why I plug that black effect Charlomagne.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
No, no, no, no, I haven't.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
I haven't done anything with her, but I would. I
would love to see her sit back and get some money.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I really do. I really do.

Speaker 9 (31:57):

by Nature. Y'all y'all don't know track.

Speaker 8 (34:57):
Well, that's funny when you say, because like when you
get to it certain age when didn't think about everybody
who didn't make it from our culture.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (35:04):
Did that make you appreciate it more?

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yo?

Speaker 13 (35:06):
Man?

Speaker 2 (35:06):

a blessing, you don't know. And then we lost so
many people that came up with us. Charlemagne, you remember
my boy Forever, Like we came up like at around
the same time, Like we went to the same school
kind of thing, you know what I mean, we seen
you know, from the Little Kim days to let's say

(35:26):
Boys and Men that ninety early nineties. I remember when
Buster Rheims and first got on with leaders of the
New School. I remember like the Deaf Jam offices, like
the Source magazine, like all that energy of the nineties.
I remember when Q Tip went solo, you know what
I'm saying, and like ladies man rap like like there's

(35:48):
so many moments of hip hop that we experienced, and
to think now, I'm like, man, that's such a great
time for us to be able to experience it. I mean,
I remember interviewing Michael Jackson, like how many people did it?
Let's think about that. How many people interview like they
not even like if you would have told me twenty
years ago Michael Jackson would not be alive, Like that

(36:08):
doesn't make sense. Like I always thought like them dudes
would live forever, like Prince like he was so damn cool,
Michael was so damn cool. Whitney Jersey girl, Like I
have all these wonderful memories of these people, uh left eye,
you know, damn Like we did all this stuff with
MTV when people were just coming up, people getting on,

(36:29):
people getting accepted. They starting to go platinum. See you young,
you don't even know. I know platinum. Okay, I got
to make sure. I gotta make sure. But like like
I remember when Usher went diamond. I remember when the
Fuji's went diamond. Like diamond was like way out there,
Like you told somebody you went diamond. They're like what,
And that was real albums I'm talking about.

Speaker 20 (36:50):
I think it's just different for y'all because people had
to go and get the you know what I mean.
Right now, we're streaming, so it's like, okay, cool, that's
people listening. Different when all these people going to the store.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Nobody is going went to the record store like me
and Charlamagne, Me and Charlamagne Knew. Remember Tow Records here
in New York. We remember when it was the album released.
People was lined up to get your album. Remember I
remember taking the plask Remember when you remember when you
couldn't get the plastic You needed a raisin. You had
to take a key, get the damn album out, and

(37:19):
then you read then you Did you ever get a
thank you? Did you ever? Like? I wasn't around.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
I'm forty six, so I started getting thank you later.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
On, but that was like early two thousands, Like when
you would get the album and you'd be like, YO,
want to shout out Charlamade for your support on my
album or whatever, And then I would read all the
producers and stuff like that. Those days of open you
don't even get artwork.

Speaker 14 (37:42):
Thank you for get artwork? No, you don't get you don't.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Get you just get christ song.

Speaker 14 (37:46):
Yeah, it's like a special.

Speaker 20 (37:48):
Thing and they released like artwork and images and normally
it's like merch and like something swaggy.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
So you got to buy a T shirt to get artwork?

Speaker 20 (37:53):
Now, yeah, people do you're talking about t shirt about
the album. I know what he's talking about, but I'm
not that old. I mean that young, like I had
the definite child writings on the wall two side album
I had, Michael Jackson, did you.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Ever go to a drive in theater?

Speaker 11 (38:12):
No?

Speaker 14 (38:12):
I did, But it was like a cool vintage experience.

Speaker 7 (38:14):
That like we blogged like it was not have Michael
Jackson thriller?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Why would you tell that long year? Was you born?

Speaker 14 (38:20):
Nineteen ninety one? My mom added him.

Speaker 20 (38:25):
I remember going and buying that album and and like
you had, they opened up like this, like and it
had all the writings on see that.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Go ahead, girl, you write a paste. Oh my gosh,
you're young old now.

Speaker 8 (38:35):
You heard about a lot of this in the top building.
But just talk to the people. What was then interviewing Michael?

Speaker 7 (38:39):
Like somebody literally asked me that this weekend you haven't
though you have a interview Michael.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
I'm like, nah, Michael. Interview of Michael Jackson was like
talking to a prince, a king of some sort of
some royalty. Because the way he moved, you know what
I'm saying, Like he was to me the epitome of
being a rock star, superstar. He had like if he
was in here right now, be thirty people here that
you don't know what they do but they look like

(39:03):
they killed people three four publicists, you got the record
label people, you got his personal people, and and then
everything is just like oh my god, like you don't
want to make a mistake. And he comes in everything
set up, the lighting. You just like like I'd be
sitting there like this, well, we're gonna do this, and
is people be like, no, Michael's gonna do three five

(39:25):
and nine, Thank you. That's how they used to be.
I'm like, he had his own lighting person, Like you
ever heard of a person having a cinematographer for a interview.

Speaker 7 (39:36):
Ryan Carrey came in the studio and had them had
her team sent up lights and I was like, and
I said, Maria, they only gonna be able to see you,
and she was like that's the point.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
That's the whole yo.

Speaker 14 (39:48):
How did the lighting people get there before Michael got
there two hours?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
That same thing that he said is true because I
interviewed Mariah Carey in Hawaii and Jermaine was there too,
and I was like, JD Whi's He was like, yo, man,
Mariah be down about three hours. We waiting on her
Man to get here. DP. I didn't know what that
was at the time, so I was like, DPA, say
that's Daniel Pearl. He'll be here. He like all of
Mariah's stuff. Right, this dude comes, he got like ten people.

(40:14):
They're like they doing a little thing. Turn that down
to thirty percent, put that up to ten five. It
looks like Heaven everybody having bring Mariah out because his
lighting was Heaven, swear to god. I was sitting out
there black. I got so black. I was sitting out
there wait, just like man, she'll be here in another hour.
They didn't even give me no water. This back in

(40:35):
the day MTV stuff. All right, we got more with
Bill Bellamy when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning morning everybody. It's dj NV, justse.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Larry Is, Charlamage the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Bill Bellamy, Charlomagne.

Speaker 8 (40:49):
Now you haven't done it special since twenty twenty two, right,
so it's top villain working toward that.

Speaker 15 (40:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Okay, so I think right now I have an hour
of that is crazy funny, Like nobody's talking about what
I'm talking about right now. It's very relevant. I mean,
it's so much stuff going on right now, from Diddy
to Shannon Shop to Shu Door, Like there's so many

(41:15):
elements in the culture that everybody's thinking about, like, oh
my god, and I want to capture this moment because
it is right now. So I'm really trying to tape
soon so that everything that I'm talking about will be
indicative of this moment in the culture.

Speaker 20 (41:30):
I was gonna say, how are you because I know
you got the podcast, but like you obviously you're so
aware of everything because of your background and like interviews
and stuff. How do you bring the podcast to the stage,
Like are you shooting the podcast?

Speaker 2 (41:43):
I usually shoot the podcast in the studio. I'm going
to try to do the podcast live too, because I
think it would be kind of nice to be able
to have the energy of the people there too, and
then they could, you know, ask people questions doing my interviews,
and then we could have like some interaction and shoot
it that way. I think I could bring bring some
different energy in season two.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
I just think it's.

Speaker 20 (42:04):
Interesting because there's a lot of people who try to
intertwine all of that, but like they're not really as
up to date in like current as you are, Like
you just write it off. I'm just sitting here listening,
you just write it off so much and I'm like, oh,
he's on the headline.

Speaker 14 (42:15):
Oh yeah, I have your background.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
You know what I mean, Well, you have to be
a student of the game as well. Like for me,
I have to read all the time. So like at
night when the house is quiet, I'm reading every publication,
I'm listening to music. I have to stay in the
culture because it's like there's stuff that it's a language.
The culture is a language, right, and so if you
get outside the language and then you kind of come back,

(42:38):
you're gonna sound dated. You're gonna sound like they don't
even talk like that no more, or whatever, you know
what I mean. So for me, it's very important for
me to stay very very relevant and conscious of what's
popping you know. I watch you, I watch you now,
I watch Jazz, I watched the New Comedians, I watch
you know, the news and seeing like, oh shoot, I
watched the headlines that's popping off on social media, like

(43:00):
oh everybody's talking about this. What's what's the deal? You
know what I'm saying, Get in the trenches with it.
Oh wow, this is a good angle. So what I
do with comedy is I'll take like something that's that's
a real subject matter and flip it, you know what
I mean? And now you you laughing, but you're like,
oh my god, that's crazy. What made him say that?
Because you got to know it?

Speaker 7 (43:18):
So how do you flip something like the Shannon Sharp situation?

Speaker 2 (43:21):
We just well, first of all, Shannon Sharp did not
see how to be a player at all. Okay, so
let's just just let's get that out. He must have
missed the VHS and the DVD release. Yo. He fifty
six years old. He should have seen it coming. It
was right on. What's that sound? Your ass is coming?

(43:43):
It's coming? What's that?

Speaker 16 (43:45):
Man?

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Shannon Sharp should have known when when that first tape
lead that we gotta slow down. It's a little bit.
It's a little bit too much. Yeah, baby with you
that talk to it? Yeah, I didn't even know I
was laughing. They tell me at least now now if
you are going live and you don't know what you
two if you don't even know how, of course, and

(44:10):
you gotta click click to do it. So he wanted
to be live. They don't the baby daddy, what it did?
They'm deady what it did?

Speaker 16 (44:18):
Right?

Speaker 2 (44:19):
He full throttle got caught on that one. Everything should
have been shut down, which is some type of class
can't talk nasty shennon, calm down, Get you a nice, nice,
solid woman on to the corner that and just lay
load for a minute to listen. What is it not
even eight nine months later? Thin been that long? It

(44:39):
is he backing them streets? You mess up the bag.
I'm telling you right now. White girls can't even say
nothing to me. I was at the dog part of this.
White said, oh nice, sorry, I took my dog and
ran I wouldn't even trying to. I'm like, Jonathan, make
what about the age difference? Because when he met us,

(44:59):
you nineteen, thank god, thank god she was nineteen. It's
too far. See, I got a young daughter, so I
can't even process my daughter's twenty one. I'm thinking saying.
I'm thinking like my daughter, me and Shannon in the alley,
wake scrap it. I can't wear that, you know. But
you know what I'm saying, these cats, I don't know
athletes are different. I just be honest. I think it's

(45:22):
a it's a difference with these type of guys, like
they get they get attracted to certain things that are different,
like like why do like most football players like strip clubs.
I don't know they just like that. I mean when
I did any give a study. That's what we was
in strict club. Come on, dogt go see the girl
manal talk man, blow up something, drink a little bit,
get back to the to the you know, to the hotel.

(45:42):
But you said something that's important, Like you said after
the first situation, you gotta slow down.

Speaker 8 (45:46):
But you said he should have went to like some
type of class development. Isn't there no more for nobody?
It's not musical artist is not different personalities like you
got people that literally going in their living room and
becoming like these phenomenons overnight because the podcast YouTube.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
A wave. This this is like he was always dope,
you know, football player, always Hall of Fame, Da da da.
But this is a wave like he got like boom.
You know, Cap Wims gave him that boom. You know
it's it's like then you get on on, you leave,
skip boom, come to ESPN. That's like that's a rocking wave. Right,

(46:24):
so you know you rolling, you know the light on.
You gotta kind of be careful. He needed an auntie. Man.
See this is what's lost in the culture. Old school
black Auntie. Auntie be like, shah, you can't do that, baby, now,
you done got too nasty? Yeah mo yeah. Mother tried
to help him, but you know he he liked what

(46:46):
he likes. What you're gonna do? Now? Can you wear it?
See what I'm saying? Can you wear it? Now?

Speaker 6 (46:51):
So?

Speaker 2 (46:51):
What do we do from here?

Speaker 9 (46:52):
Like?

Speaker 16 (46:52):
How do you?

Speaker 2 (46:53):
How do you? How do you? Olivia Pope that? What
would you do?

Speaker 6 (46:57):
Like?

Speaker 2 (46:57):
What do you do? I mean, I mean, he ain't
don't nobody you know what I'm saying. He's just nasty.
So this beat is like that's the bonded stuff? Is
that what we're talking about?

Speaker 14 (47:09):
You sixty years old?

Speaker 11 (47:10):
You know?

Speaker 2 (47:10):
I know I'm just saying, okay, So.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
I mean, you know, I don't know that's the best
thing to do.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
But know I'm just saying like that that that is
a that's a lane. So I mean, that's a lane.
Let's be honest, that's a lane. Know, I'll just saying
you might have come out with T shirts. He got
the funk. I don't know, I don't know. That's a

(47:36):
tricky laye. That's like dropping your car one hundred miles
an hour with no seatbelt gonna happen? You did, Like,
that's a tricky lay because it's edgy. That's what I
think is the poor for people. It's so edgy. But
it can always go left because where's the line. Where's
the line you wildin? Where's the line where we could
come back or like say, this is the thing that's tricky.

(47:58):
You could be all all good on Saturday, we go
back to do it against Sunday and you might not
be on that right now. So now it's a bad deal.

Speaker 20 (48:06):
I think at this point, at Shannon Sharp's age, he
should he needs to sit still with a person, like
marriage something.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
I think he should do a turkey drive. What turkey
drives always fixed.

Speaker 20 (48:20):
Stuffy turkeys make people feel good.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Man, he giv it ouf turkeys.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
He didn't do it.

Speaker 14 (48:37):
Somebody and then they send me the photos exclusively.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Yes I know.

Speaker 20 (48:44):
Oh my god, I seen him like, hey, you give
me a bunch of turkeys and summertime.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
Know you gotta give out turkey, Shanny. That's the trick.
Where's my camera right here? Look, do a turkey drive.
Just give out turkeys randomly all over because you're here, baby,
you're going a little Turkey for U getting going a
little Turkey. By the time they get that thirty first turkey,
this would be oh and it got to be butter ball.

(49:14):
We got more with Bill Bellamy. When we come back,
it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Everybody is the ej NV just hilarious. Charlomony and the
guy we are the Breakfast Club. Laura Roast is here
with us as well, and we're still kicking it with
Bill Bellamy.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Charlom Now, you.

Speaker 7 (49:27):
Grew up in that era of the nineties when you
look at the Diddy situation, Oh, did you ever think
the culture of hip hop would catch up with people
to wait a day because a.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Lot of this is lifestyle b Well well, well, well,
I'll be honest with you, made a Diddy situation. It's
just it's gonna hurt us all no matter what how
it comes out, but it's gonna hurt the culture because
to me, why I say that is because what he's
done for the culture before all of this is phenomenal,
Like it never happened before to come to this point.

(49:57):
I didn't see that coming, you know what I'm saying.
I know, but I didn't know like all the other
stuff that people are saying like that's just like all
this stuff is just so like, oh my god, it's
so many Oh my guys, No Turkey drive could fix
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 14 (50:12):
Yeah, I would never say it's crazy for life.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Yeah, like that's what we look at it. That's crazy,
Like I mean, god, dang, you know what I'm saying.
Because we came up the nineties was really a fly
ten year run for everybody that was coming up through it.
You know, cats is getting record deals of substantial money.
I remember when Janet Jackson got her like forty million
dollar Virgin deal or something crazy. Remember when they was

(50:37):
giving our numbers for artists ninety million, this that and
the other whatever whatever. Puff got a hundred million dollar deal.
I remember that, Like that was a big deal in
New York. Like people was like, yo, Puff got his
own label now boom boom boom. Like I came up
with Mason, those guys in Cameron and guys. So just
think about like, oh man, I just seen like these
guys making money and our dudes that look like me

(50:58):
that came from situations like me. We are here eating
to now like damn so let's say if he even
if he were to get out of it, his images
is smashed. So it's like, damn, man, you could do
all this good and do one thing and no, people
never feel the same, like you know what I'm saying,
Like they'll never look at you the same. So that's

(51:19):
the part that gonna hurt the culture.

Speaker 7 (51:21):
To me, Did you ever have to fight to get
hip hop on MTV back then?

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah, man, Charlottagne, come on, let's you know what we did, Okay,
so listen, this is how how it was. So when
I came on MTV, it was mostly rock. There was
there was they was tip to one with hip hop.
But we're gonna play a little bit. We're gonna play
a little bit over here with Yo. We got Yo
MTV raps th those guys ed Andre are doing a
great job. Blah blah blah. I wasn't even on the

(51:46):
channel yet. So now we're getting this this hybrid show
that's going to show you that hip hop is crossing
over a little bit. We're not only gonna do knaves,
but we're gonna do salt and pepper, We're gonna do
l L, We're gonna do leaders in the new School.
We're gonna do Domino, and we're gonna do Coolio, and
we're gonna do this young dude named Snoop. So now

(52:08):
you're getting all these new artists. You got ice Tube,
now you got this, you got that. So now the
plate got bigger. So I just happened to be the
god delivering the plate to the people, like, Yo, we
got this, we got this, we got this. I just
think it was really really a blessing for me at
that time, just to be in the right place at
the right time, because I love the music and I

(52:29):
love us. You know what I'm saying, I wanted you
if you was a new artist. I'm like, I'm trying
to get you on, like, yo, you gotta come on here.
Make sure you fix her hair, make sure she looks
like okay, cool, cool cool, all right, no, no, no,
But what I'm saying, like, you know what I'm saying, y'all. Y'all,
y'all can figure this out. Left so real quick. Anything
going on Turkey drive already doing what you know, and

(52:53):
you to see how you ain't been Turkey's on the ground.
They just forget it just made people go you do nothing.
He gave me a turkey.

Speaker 20 (53:04):
What was the biggest thing that MTV passed up on
that you were like four? And they was like nah,
we good. And then later like now you're looking back
like me and I was iconic moment we could have had.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
I can't remember that. I can remember what they almost
blew on. There's a couple of things that happened like this.
One I remember very very vividly was H Town. So
H Town was on Luke Records, right, so you got
or the group the group Knocking the Boots. So I
was in like in the South, I was doing the
show or something. I heard knocking the Boots. I said,

(53:36):
oh my god, what is that. I go back to MTV.
I showed him the tape. I said, Yo, this is
that and the other blah blah blah. They were like,
oh my god, go to the billboard. Let's see what
it is. Is it doing it? Is it a heat seeker?
What is it doing on the charts. I was like,
it don't matter what the charts is. I'm telling you
this song right here is crazy. Did we get the video?

(53:59):
They still on it? We put it on the air.
Oh my god, you know music. I've been telling y'all.
You see, that's the thing. When you live in the tower,
you're not on the on the ground. You don't know
the people, right. So that's why I never stay in
the tower to this day, I never stay in the
tower because you don't know what going on.

Speaker 14 (54:20):
Did you ever get a chance to turn the group that? Yeah,
I got the play that was.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
A real risk song. Back then it was.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Boom boom.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
You know, it's a lot of grinding, you know. Interesting.
I would to remember that. We used to.

Speaker 8 (54:35):
I wonder what the difference between knocking the boots and
sex you up? Was they white?

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Cultural? Right there? You know we nasty, they're pleasant, they
have no problem with sex you up.

Speaker 15 (54:49):
We did.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
We did color me bad. I want to sex you up? Yeah,
So all them groups like now you don't even see
groups no more. We had color Me Bad boys, the
men shy Yoas, Jodasy, high five Brown, we had Jade
seven O two.

Speaker 7 (55:10):
Damn total, there's so many, man.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
I love total though. It was just can't you see
what you do to me?

Speaker 7 (55:19):
Someone that you said you regret coining the term booty go.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
I regret that I didn't trademarkt you got. I would
have had a lot of money.

Speaker 8 (55:26):
Now, you said you want to do another how to
be a Player? Are you really working on the updated
version of that? What would that even look like in
twenty twenty five?

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Oh my god, n sharp would not be in it.

Speaker 9 (55:38):
All.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
You are nobody, nobody that's messing up, got anything? You
would have to be played to. Nope, Nope. Is it
even worth being a player?

Speaker 8 (55:44):
Because Kendrick Lamar said, and I agree with him on
the new album j Next, he says, you better off
being with one woman.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Everything tricky right now? Yeah, it's tricky right now. I
think for the comedy of it, it would be really
good for the culture. I feel like it would be
good because it's nostalgic and everybody it's the right age now.
Some cast was like in their teenage years, some catchers
in their twenties. Whatever. I think if we do it
coming like if it comes out next summer, I think
it would be perfect because we can talk about certain things,

(56:13):
you know how like technology is blowing casts up. You
know what I'm saying, leaving your phone open, girl, using
your face while you sleep. I feel like we should
have alarms on our phones, you know, like saying I'm
saying you you sleep and your girls trying to go,
or you.

Speaker 14 (56:31):
Could just not have nothing in the phone.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
That's true too, Bill, we all always got something in
our phone.

Speaker 7 (56:37):
What if you did an updated version of The Brothers
that's supposed to be happening.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
And you have Doctor Uma in it? Mad at you
because how much you like white women? Doctor Umar would
be but yes, he would just show up on my dates. Yes,
he's a cousin. Come home brother every time you pop
up for no reason. Don't let the butnets get your brother. Boy.

Speaker 8 (57:03):
If Doctor Umar have a mixed baby, I'm a pass out.
It'll never have No I know, I'm just just something.
The life will never happen. But Umar, he's staying on
business with his stuff. Well he hit it so hard
he bet it not even drink white milk, give mean.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
In his house. I don't want to hear.

Speaker 8 (57:21):

Speaker 3 (58:12):
Lauren La becoming a straight fas.

Speaker 2 (58:16):

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 8 (58:28):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything on the breakfast club.
She just got her blanket over.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
There, yes, and got one of her shoulders on freezing.

Speaker 20 (58:46):
It's okay, it's better, thank you, all right. So right now,
terriffs are trending. Tarriffs and Amazon are trending all over
x and all over Google. And this is because for
the last couple of days Trump and Amazon or Jeff

(59:07):
Bezos have had a little tiss tists, a little beef.
So Amazon, there was a report that came out by
website called punch Bowl News at the top of the
week that said that Amazon was going to show the
actual prices of like here's.

Speaker 14 (59:18):
How much this item costs.

Speaker 20 (59:19):
Here's how much we have to add to it because
of the terrors, because they want of their customers to
know we're not just trying to run up the prices
on y'all right, which I think is smart because you
get to see taxes when you buy something depend on
where you persons in it from.

Speaker 14 (59:30):
So when that came out, Trump in his White House
got upset.

Speaker 20 (59:34):
So the Speaker for the White House came out and
said that this was like a hostile political act and
that it made no sense, and that Amazon was doing
this to protect their relationship with China. Now all of this,
you probably are wondering why it is such a big deal.
I mean, terrors have been a conversation. But to me,
I thought that this was kind of crazy with it.
They were dragging Bezos and Amazon because Jeff Bezos and

(59:55):
Trump were buddy buddy, they were friends. They went out
to dinner after Trump one y election. He was at
the inauguration. But the minute that he decided to protect
his business and his customers, or so it seemed, Trump
got upset.

Speaker 8 (01:00:07):
Oh, it's because Trump punked him. And Trump has been
punking Besos for the longest. I mean, Besos also owns
what is it, The Washington Post, and he decided not
to endorse a candidate for the first time ever. And
after Trump called Besos yesterday, Besos bowed down. He said
he never planned to, you know, put the put the
price to the ti something.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (01:00:25):
Yes, yeah, Jeff Bezos is the founder is he purchased
the Washington Post in twenty thirteen, So that is correct.

Speaker 14 (01:00:31):
But yes, that happened.

Speaker 20 (01:00:33):
Now when Trump called him, he said that Besos did
a good thing, and he's basically he's like I'm glad
he listened, and this is not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
Now.

Speaker 20 (01:00:40):
Amazon had tried to walk it back after the White
House got mad. They said, oh, it wasn't approved, we
weren't really gonna do it. But then Trump came out
and said I called him and it didn't change. So
it made Amazon look crazy like he can just call
y'all and everything walks back, which is insane to me
because I feel like and we've been seeing it. I know, Charlaun,
you yelled at us about this all the time. It
is so when I saw Trump just casually say yeah,
I called many changes, mind, I'm like me.

Speaker 8 (01:01:02):
Trump punked him. Trump called him a bitch ass billionaire. Yeah,
I want you to move or out.

Speaker 20 (01:01:08):
Seeing all the big tech companies that the inauguration was
one thing. But watching Trump just call somebody and say
you better not play with me and it Trump.

Speaker 8 (01:01:14):
Got all the power. It don't matter who got all
the money, It matters who got all the power.

Speaker 14 (01:01:18):
Yeah, well, yeah, that was pretty scared.

Speaker 20 (01:01:20):
I mean, I mean at this point now, and I
guess they're in good standing because he walked it back,
But a lot of conversation that's happening right now is
this makes no sense because I want to see where
how the prices are moving, because I want to make
sure you're not just throwing your extra on top on
top of the tariffs, especially with everything about the change
right now. So yeah, Well, in other news, Shannon Sharp,
So you guys remember that video that Shannon Sharp was

(01:01:41):
saying was going to release.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Yes, that did no.

Speaker 20 (01:01:46):
No, So according to reports, that video will not be released.
Attorney Tony Buzby came out and said that they are
not planning to release that video. How they were dropping
audio because it's a very strong point of their evidence
in this case and they were going.

Speaker 14 (01:01:59):
To keep it and use it as such words.

Speaker 20 (01:02:03):
Yeah, now that is interesting because she and and Sharp,
Remember he kept saying he believes the video was gonna
come out.

Speaker 14 (01:02:09):
He believes the video was gonna come out. So there's
been a change there somehow.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
But Stephen A.

Speaker 14 (01:02:13):
Smith sat down with a.

Speaker 20 (01:02:14):
Big boy for a big boy in the neighborhood and
he talked about how people are switching sides on she
and the Sharp right now, let's say a.

Speaker 23 (01:02:22):
Listen, can we help you get back past this? And
I think that true friends conduct themselves that way. They
ain't yes, people that tell you just what you want
to hear. They ain't know people that's willing to vilify you.
The second something. I mean, I see cats talking about
him and I can't even put in the words that
I've seen them do. And then I see the zest
with which people are willing to pounce on him. People

(01:02:45):
have been after him since he was doing he did
Cat Williams because of the numbers he produced and the
success that it had and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
How he was able to ride that way.

Speaker 23 (01:02:53):
If I sit up there and I'm friends with Big Boy,
I'm a contemporary, and then Big Boy get in trouble,
it's one thing for me to be on the end
going like this, yeah you know, I mean, this is
what happened the Big Boy. And that's another thing in
Tydy'd be like, yeah, you see what happened big boy,
right right? And you see a joy that some people
are having and going at him. So for me, it's

(01:03:13):
just about making sure that he knows that he matters
to me.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
Did he say he sees the zest and which people
want to pounce on him. I knew you was going
to that whole sentence.

Speaker 7 (01:03:28):
If you jesty pouncing on somebody.

Speaker 8 (01:03:31):
I will say in a lot of ways, I could
say stephen A set the tone for that comment commentary.
I said that because one of the first people who
commented on Shan was stephen A. Pout a twenty minute
video that night.

Speaker 20 (01:03:42):
And then said basically, this is my guy. But I'm
going where ESPN go I mean I'm going where. Yeah,
I'm going where ESPN goes, which I get it. That's like,
I mean, that's your that's where you work at and
all that. But now the tone is giving. We staying
with Shannon Sharp regardless whatever, whatever, or at least be
careful you talk about him. But when he talked about
it that first night, I was like, are they friends?

(01:04:02):
I was a little confused.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
Yes.

Speaker 8 (01:04:03):
And you know another interesting thing too, and this is
why I said, you know, I've never seen anybody handle
a situation worse than Shannon and his team. After this
came out, we would have never known about that so
called video if it wasn't for Shannon shop. Yes, Shannon
jumped out there and revealed that that video existed. And
he did that for no reason because they wasn't even
planning on putting it up.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
Yep, like you revealed their name.

Speaker 20 (01:04:25):
The attorney Buffy said that in a statement to TMZ,
he said, the only reason you know about the existence
of a video recording is that mister Sharp specifically referenced
it in his BS statement. That's the contents of the
video was shared during a mediation process with Sharp's attorneys. Again,
Sharp and his team disclosed that not us Sharp himself
was offered on more than one occasion to view it himself.
He declined, We've never made any claims or threats about it.

Speaker 14 (01:04:46):
It won't and won't do so.

Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
Once again, I've never seen anybody handle atle situation worse
than Shannon and this team like this is. They just
handled it wrong from the beginning, from the whole beginning.

Speaker 20 (01:04:58):
Yeah, well we'll see you would come to this because
I think it's the best that this video didn't hit
so yeah bd s M being in Sharp and that
little girl, Yeah, that would.

Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
Have been bad, bad visual.

Speaker 8 (01:05:12):
I just don't understand why they didn't settle, especially being
that the lawyer said that they offered the timn what not.
Not that they didn't settle cause they were willing to settle.
Why didn't they take the money? Why didn't Buzzy did
they think that they could get more because of all
of the evidence they got. Probably that's probably what it is.

Speaker 14 (01:05:27):
Probably, So I've asked that multiple times.

Speaker 16 (01:05:30):
What it is.

Speaker 14 (01:05:31):
Yeah, but I've asked, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
Well, Happy birthday to Kirsten Dunst birthday. Bring it on, No, no,
no Mexican Yo. She's from Jumanji Spider Man. But yeah,
her most famous role, in my opinion, is bring it on.
So happy birthday to her and.

Speaker 7 (01:05:47):
On fire it was phenomenal movie.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Child sell our bet. But you look like and we're
the ones her down with that. Thank you for the lawyer,
for the lord.

Speaker 14 (01:05:58):
Bring it on after Never mind Charlaann, who are giving
that donkey.

Speaker 8 (01:06:01):
T before after the hour? We need John Halliburton to
come to the front of the congregation. We like to
have a word with him.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Place you're checking out the breakfast club.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
Your execution on the Donkey of the day is something
to the.

Speaker 16 (01:06:13):
Hold for you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
The reason they gave me donkey other day, and I
deserve that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
You need to know what you need to tell them.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
It's time for Donkey of the Day.

Speaker 13 (01:06:25):

Speaker 14 (01:06:33):
Who do you give a dunky other day?

Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
Soon?

Speaker 15 (01:06:35):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
Sexy red donkey today for Wednesday, April thirtieth, goes to
John Halliburton.

Speaker 8 (01:06:40):
If you don't know who John Halliburton is. John is
the father of Indiana Paces stars Tyreese Halliburton. Now, last night,
the Indiana Paces eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA
playoffstrop on the poo bombs in the Indiana Paces, epic
collapse by the Milwaukee Bucks, or the Paces were down
by seven points with forty seconds left in overtime and
then the books completely collapsed in Tyrese hall Burton supplied

(01:07:00):
the game winner.

Speaker 7 (01:07:01):
Let's listen to how I went.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Down jar Way go cala Bert five seconds, tive sentence
one point, prey to go. Pacers, come on, here's Gary
Trent Junior. End up. Pacers start moving on though, Lota

(01:07:27):
come back, get old Bert now.

Speaker 8 (01:07:29):
Naturally, after a win like that, emotions were hot. Okay,
if you're a pass fan, you was on cloud nine.
If you're a fan of Tyre's Halliburton, oh, in that moment,
you thought he was the greatest thing since the late
Great Kobe Bryant, and there is no bigger fan of
you when it comes to sports than your parents. Okay,
especially your father and Tyrese's dad, john sits.

Speaker 7 (01:07:47):
Court side at the games.

Speaker 8 (01:07:48):
Well, he got a little too excited because he decided
to talunt you, Honis by coming on the floor and
holding up a towel with his son's face on it
and shouting variations of this is what we eppen do.

Speaker 7 (01:08:01):
Let's go to inside the NBA for the report, Pleeplet's
listen to him and watch.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
Some for some talking after the game. And then and
then it was his dad. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:08:09):
Then it looks like Halliburton and the honest make nice
and that everybody else does too.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
We we we we love mister Halliburton. Come see the show.
Don't beat the show. See the show.

Speaker 18 (01:08:20):
Yeah, and I think I saw ty Ree Is already
apologized for his dad's actions for what because he went
he doesn't run on the court and talk like I
know you don't know, you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Kevin, see the show. Don't beat a show. You can't
run on the stage, cannot run on the court. And
everybody on the court.

Speaker 17 (01:08:40):
Get everybody he's apposed to on the court. The court
to be on the court. Stop, No, you stop it.
He's done. Don't matter supposed to be on the court.
Just talked to him forget all.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
No, he was on the court. So what you think
he said something he probably know Dad is.

Speaker 8 (01:08:57):
Come see the show. Don beat his show. I like that,
canny listen. I could go either way on this. It
can be harmless or it can be harmful. But the
NBA has to do a better job of protecting his stars.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:09:06):
People think that just because these folks make hundreds of
millions of dollars that they should be okay with fans
talking crazy to them. Sure, heckling is one thing, but
coming on the floor, No, do that from the stands.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:09:17):
And furthermore, and the reason I'm giving John down here
today is because it's not about you. As Kenny Smith said,
it's not about you. Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:09:25):
People need to learn that their actions do affect other people.
So be careful what you saying do because it's not
always just about you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
John.

Speaker 7 (01:09:32):
I know that's your son. I know that you're excited,
but you have to remember you represent your son in
that moment, So don't do anything that embarrasses him or
makes him look foolish.

Speaker 8 (01:09:41):
Also, when was the security? Why were Yiannis and John
allowed to get uh? I was about to say face
to face, but it was more like, you know, face
the waste, okay, fate. Why would they allowed to get
face to waste on each other like that? I mean,
Janni's towers over John. But why did that exchange even happen?
I know team staffles, you know, pulled yon Us away,
but why were they allowed to get that close to

(01:10:02):
each other to begin with it? Yah, if Yannas saw
John tant him, I'm sure others did too, so you
had to know Yanna's going over to him wasn't because
they were about to exchange pleasantries. Okay, what if emotions
and egos would have got the best of them and
they ended up scrapping right in and there. It's just
stupid and it's all over things that could be prevented. Now,
would you like to hear what Yiannis had to say

(01:10:22):
about it.

Speaker 7 (01:10:23):
Let's listen.

Speaker 24 (01:10:24):
Losing the game, emotions run high, having a fan, which
at the moment I thought it was fun, but then
I realized it was Tity's son, which I love Titus,
I think is a great competitor. He was his dad
sort of coming in the floor and showing me his
son a tower with his face.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
This is what we do, This is what we do.
This if we do, I feel like that's very, very disrespectful.

Speaker 24 (01:10:49):
I'm happy for him him, I'm happy for the sun,
and I'm happy that he's happy for his son.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
That's how you're supposed to feel.

Speaker 24 (01:10:54):
But coming to me and disrespecting me and cursing at me,
I think it's totally unacceptable, totally unacceptable. I'm not the
guy that points fingers because in my neighborhoods sneage gets stitches.
So I don't want to say something, you know, for
him to say to get fined on anything. But it's
not respectful. I talked with him at the end, and

(01:11:14):
to be uh, I think we did in a good place.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
I'll tell you one thing.

Speaker 7 (01:11:18):
The way Jhanna said coming on the floor the towels
sounded nasty, but Bianna felt disrespected.

Speaker 8 (01:11:24):
Okay, who are we to tell him otherwise? Tyrese Haliburton
said his father was wrong. Let's listen.

Speaker 11 (01:11:29):
You know, as far as the incident between the Honest
and my pops, I had no idea what happened until
I got to the back and we showed the video.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
Uh, me and my.

Speaker 11 (01:11:38):
Pops have talked about that, and I don't agree with
you know what what transpired there from him. You know,
you know, I think basketball is basketball and let's keep
it on the court. And I think that he just
you know, got excited to tell us some make the
game winner and came on the court. But I think
we had a we had a conversation, and you know,
I think he just needs to just allow me to
just play basketball, stay over there, come to him to celebrate.

(01:12:01):
But I'll talk with Jianni's eventually about it. Just you know,
I don't think that my pops was.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
In the right at all there.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
And all of this taken away from the fact that
they came back from behind and he scored a game winner.
Now he got to sit up there and explain about
his dad's actions. Okay, his dad apologized.

Speaker 8 (01:12:17):
He said, I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks,
and the pace of his organization for my actions following
tonight's game. This was not a good reflection on our sport.
Are my son and I will not make that mistake again.
What is the lesson to be learned here. It's simple
for me, and we talked about this in another Donkey
earlier this week, and the lesson to be learned is
our actions are guaranteed to affect others because we are

(01:12:38):
not alone in this world. John made a moment that
was about his son, about him. Your son hit the
game winner salute. That has nothing to do with Janni's. Okay,
they lost. Yanna's not even a player who taunts people.
Very humble man, So what was the point.

Speaker 7 (01:12:53):
But once again, our actions are guaranteed to affect others, John,
you represent more than yourself. You represent your son. You
have to be that much more aware of how you
present yourself because you are representing more than you. I
know your last name is on the back of that
paces jersey, but that's not you, brouh. You're not out
there getting buckets. Your son is and his game speaks
for itself. Okay, it doesn't need you speaking for it.

(01:13:15):
Parents should cheer from the stands, not confront players on
the court. So for that lapse in judgment, please give
John Halliburton the biggest he hull.

Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
It's really that simple. Yeah, crazy, I want to say
I do. I am really really proud of you for
your segment. You've been giving people donkey fava, and you
read so eloquently every day.

Speaker 7 (01:13:38):
You shouldn't be impressed by people that know how to
read good.

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
First of all.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
It should be right.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
And I don't even care about it no more. It's crazy.
Can't I even take compliments.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Like damn, hi, y'all? No, no, no, no, yes, ya
dad rock.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
Don't even know how to say, Oh, my god, thank
you so much, sister.

Speaker 7 (01:13:54):
You're absolutely right, very much, my sister. I appreciate that, thank.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
You, but I hate that word eloquently though.

Speaker 7 (01:14:01):
I hate to wear it that we shouldn't be applauding
nothing of this applauding literacy. People are supposed to be literate.
Now we come back, doctor Lakeisha Hallman will be here.
She has a new book called No One Is Self Made,
a motivational self help guide with a community oriented approach.

Speaker 8 (01:14:23):
And when we come back, we'll talk. We'll talk to
doctor Lakeisha Harman. Okay, it's the Breakfast Club, The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
Morning Everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
It's the EJ N V.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Jesse Larius Charlamage, the Guide. We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building, doctor Lakeisha Holman.

Speaker 8 (01:14:41):
She has a new book out now called No One
Is Self Made. Build your village to flourish in business
and life. Good morning, how are you doctor?

Speaker 19 (01:14:48):
I am wonderful. I'm happy to be here for a
second time. Yes, So thank you all for having me back.
I've been excited to have this conversation.

Speaker 8 (01:14:56):
I'm happy that you're here, and I love the title
of your book. This is what I'll be trying to
tell people. Man, we live in this era right now
where everybody's always talking about you know, I'm self made.

Speaker 3 (01:15:04):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:15:05):
I did it myself. Nobody put me on, nobody held me.
That's a lie. There's no such thing.

Speaker 14 (01:15:11):
That's why I.

Speaker 19 (01:15:11):
Wrote the book because it is profoundly untrue. All of
us who's sitting here today, entrepreneurs across the country, anyone
that we've lift up, even the people that we don't know,
there have been a village of people that's supporting them.

Speaker 14 (01:15:25):
And so it was critical for me to write this book.
But for me, it's a love letter.

Speaker 19 (01:15:29):
To our community that we must return to community and
also have the true stories of what success is and
how we got there.

Speaker 14 (01:15:37):
When you say return to community and have those stories.
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 19 (01:15:41):
Yeah, I mean one of the things that I write
about in the book, particularly in chapter one, I write
about individualism. I think individualism have been propped up in
this country where we talk about the self made woman,
the self made man, and the more that we lift
up the individual, it takes us back from that collective,
the group village that I write about and talk about

(01:16:01):
and my companies are built around. It is time sensitive
that we return and get back to our togetherness and
figure out how to work together, how to be tethered
and took the place where we say that no one
is going to separate us from our bigger purpose in
doing good work together.

Speaker 14 (01:16:20):
Now, when you moved to Atlanta in twenty eleven, yes,
I think it was eleven, twenty ten or twenty eleven.

Speaker 20 (01:16:27):
And I was going to ask you what brought you
to Atlanta? But everything you're talking about Atlanta just feels
like that the minute to land.

Speaker 14 (01:16:32):
Yes, Atlanta is so special. You were there this fast weekend?

Speaker 12 (01:16:35):
I was.

Speaker 19 (01:16:36):
Yes, Atlanta is incredibly special. I remember when I first visited.
I believe I was undergrad when when I visited Atlanta,
and I hadn't experienced anything like it. It was a
sea of black excellence. You all have had Killer mic
On and your and my brother lockt him up and
he often talks about the history of Atlanta.

Speaker 14 (01:16:56):
Coming there from Mississippi. I was blown away.

Speaker 19 (01:16:59):
I knew that it was upon my destiny to be
in Atlanta, to grow in Atlanta, and it was that
deep history, but also that deep communal sense.

Speaker 7 (01:17:08):
Can we talk about the myth of being self made?

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
To them?

Speaker 8 (01:17:10):
I really just want to expound on that. That's the
first chapter in your book. What is the myth of
being self made?

Speaker 19 (01:17:14):
Yeah, it's well, number one is untrue. I write about that.
For me to be able to sit here today, I
am the product of my grandmother's prayers, their hard work,
my grandfather's, my parents, the team that I have running
my companies, my friend group, and my extended family. I'm

(01:17:38):
a product of all these people. So if I sit
here and you all ask me about how my companies
have been successful, and if I'm only talking about myself,
I'm lying to you. Sure the true story is that
we're village made. And if we accept this title, we
began to erase people that have been critical to us.
On our journeys, even our first jobs, our first opportunities,

(01:17:58):
they were building us to be who we are today.

Speaker 14 (01:18:01):
I look at these first.

Speaker 19 (01:18:02):
Opportunities as divine assignments that we were planning in these experiences.
But to take on the title of self made, we
are erasing people and then they become hidden figures. And
when we sit for these interviews, we are telling a
profound untruth. But we're also telling people in order to
make it, you need to do it by yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
I wonder why we have that.

Speaker 8 (01:18:25):
Well, it's not we, but there's a lot of people
who have that issue, you know what I mean, who
just have that issue of not wanting to give people
credit like they want to just be them.

Speaker 7 (01:18:34):
No, I did it myself. Nobody helped me do it, Like, huh,
I love assistance, Please help me.

Speaker 14 (01:18:39):
I do too.

Speaker 19 (01:18:40):
And I write about you know in the book that
I believe how we got here it's because it's been
propped up that anytime we've seen people reach a level
of success, the first thing that the media calls them
is self made. And then we've also shunned people who've
had support when that you didn't work as hard because
you didn't Yeah, you didn't work as hard. Somebody gave

(01:19:01):
you something. But the reality is we are We should
be proud that we have been able to attract people
in our lives that want to assist us, that want
to help us. And so it's just really training our
mindsets to really look at success differently. But I think
it has been sensationalized. It's self made notion and what
it is deemed to be successful. This has been largely

(01:19:24):
overplayed in the media because if a person I write
about all the Titans in the book The Tyler Periods
of the World, but we often look at these people
as self made. They made it out of no way.
But what I think is missing in the story is
that what I believe the truth is that we are
all self determined people. Self determination and self made are different.

(01:19:48):
Self determination means all the work that you've done, Lauren
to be where you are today, because I've been following
your journey, you are divinely self determined. You, Charlotte Maye,
all the work that you done to be who you are.
You are self determined. No one gave you that but
God and the stick to itness. It's the thing that

(01:20:08):
I think lifts us up. But what really propels us
for is all the people that saw something in you,
saw something in me, saw something in you, and then said, oh,
it's something about them. I'm going to do all that
I can to make sure that they reach the pinnacle
of their success. And why it was important for me
to write about supporting that way because I think we
always and we can get to a place where we

(01:20:29):
say I don't have this, I don't have that, this
person that look out for me, But you also have
all these other things.

Speaker 14 (01:20:36):
So you do have a village.

Speaker 19 (01:20:37):
You may not have the village where you can have
everything that you need, but you do have a village
of people pouring into.

Speaker 14 (01:20:43):
You, and that is what we need.

Speaker 20 (01:20:45):
You talked in this Essence article that I read about
not saying yes to every invitation that you get as
your building community. For a lot of people, spirit of discernment.
But what's your breakdown of how you decide to say
no to certain invitations.

Speaker 19 (01:20:57):
Yeah, it is spiritual discernment. It's also me operating in
abundance rather than scarcity. I think when we're when when
we're in a scarcity mindset, we believe that we have
to be in every single room that we have to
accept every invitation, that we must say yes to everything.
Where I am in my life now and what I'm

(01:21:19):
hoping to empower empower other people is that we don't
want all the yeses. We want the right yeses. And
how I discern when the yes is right? Is it
aligned with my values? It's this opportunity align with the
mission that I'm on. Will it take me off course?
Will I have to divorce things that I believe in?
Will I have to contort and change myself? If I'm

(01:21:40):
saying yes to all those things, it's not the yes
that I should take. And now I haven't always been
at this place. I've had to grow to get here.
My deep relationship with God has helped me be here.
But I remember, and I write about managing the hard
stuff in the book. I remember saying yes because I
was afraid that if I didn't say yes to this

(01:22:01):
opportunity that I won't get it again. But the timing
of the opportunity was so wrong, and so I needed
to say no. And so what I've learned about life
is that sometimes the test in the assignment is will
we say no to things when it's out of alignment?
Will we have the discipline, the spiritual discipline to know

(01:22:22):
that while this may sound good, but this is not
what I should be doing. Will would be strong in
our faith, in our belief that our right yes is coming.
And when I have done that, and again I wasn't.
It's very important for me to share it, because it's
different when you've done the work and we can talk
about these things. But I do remember what has awakened

(01:22:44):
in me is more so a spirit of abundance that
I only want to be where I'm meant to grow.

Speaker 14 (01:22:50):
And I don't want to be in every room.

Speaker 19 (01:22:52):
I only want to be in room where I'm meant
to be transformational, not just to sit at a table,
just to sit there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
We have more with doctor Lakeisha Hommes when we come back.
She has a new book, No One Is Self Made,
a motivational self help guid with a community oriented approach,
rewrite the rules of.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Business and collective support.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
It's out right now. We'll talk to her more. It's
the Breakfast Club. Good morning, joining everybody, your cj Envy,
Jesse Larius charlamagnea God. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren
la Ross here as well. We're still kicking it with
doctor Lakeisha Key Harman. Her new book No One Is
Self Made is out right now, Lauren.

Speaker 20 (01:23:26):
What do you tell people, though, because you talk about
the scarcity mindset and how you sorry for you to
make those decisions, what do you tell people who are
in that scarcity place that just need to eat real quick.

Speaker 14 (01:23:35):
They can't walk away from that deal, they can't afford
to That.

Speaker 19 (01:23:38):
Is a very very very good question. Scarcity is a
place of survival. So what I do have is a
profound respect for people who are simply striving to survive.
But the question would be, do you want to eat
something that's poisonous to you? You know, do you want
to accept things that it's going to actually change the

(01:23:58):
makeup of who you are that may compromise you from
your greatest self? Where where we know in our greatest
selves and we operate in our higher selves, more is there.
And so this is a question that is less tangible,
but it's truly operating in faith that if I just

(01:24:19):
be consistent, I continue to work hard, I continue to
show up for myself, I continue to operate with the
spirit of discernment, then my opportunities are come, will come?
Will you have moments, will you have moments where you
may take a smaller contract because you need to eat.
I don't have kids to take care of, and so
I will never be in a place of saying that

(01:24:41):
I fully fully understand. But I'm in a place where
I have a level of empathy. But I do know
that we while in a space of striving to survive,
we can still be very selective with the things that
we say yes to.

Speaker 8 (01:24:57):
I want to talk about Chapter eight Support Supporters, and
in that chapter you got a bunch of village verbs.

Speaker 7 (01:25:03):
Explain what a village verb is.

Speaker 14 (01:25:05):
Yeah, this whole book is and why I'm so excited
about it.

Speaker 19 (01:25:10):
While I tell a bunch of entrepreneur stories, things that
I've experienced, and I write about many luminaries from the
past and people presently who's doing the work, the anchor
piece of this book is all about the village, all
about community in the village Verbs. When people close this book,
I want people to do something. So Village Verbs is

(01:25:33):
making sure that we participate in the voting process. Village
Verbs is making sure that we're buying local, that we're
buying from black businesses. Village Verbs is making sure that
we're showing up from one another. If we do not
have action behind the things that we believe, then I
always ask people, do you really love it? Because if

(01:25:54):
you love it, your actions should follow. You have on
a black brand today. I've been wearing her for years.

Speaker 14 (01:26:01):
Tears.

Speaker 19 (01:26:02):
Yeah, but what you are doing today is love and action.
So you support her in a real way. You're on
a syndicated radio show rocking her brand. That is what
it's about, Charlott Mane. I think about the number of
things that I'm aware you probably do even more, but
Black Effect podcasts, your in print, all these things. You

(01:26:24):
are putting people in rooms and putting people in position,
and it's because you want your actions to look like
things that you care about. You want people's lives to change,
and not just for this generation, but next generation and
next generation. But you're not just saying these things, you
are doing these things. That final chapter of Village Verbs
is all about us doing the things that we say

(01:26:47):
and getting put our action in love behind it. I
always challenge our community that you may not be able
to participate in ten different things, but you need to
find something that you're passionate about and put your love
and your action there, and our communities will change.

Speaker 8 (01:27:03):
I love it that the village verbs lock in, show
up and connect, keep learning and higher, teach it, govern
your words and listen intently, pivot, invest in your people,
and spend locally.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:27:15):
Yeah, I love we're talking about village and we're talking
about community.

Speaker 8 (01:27:20):
I know that you're on the State of the People
power toold with my good sister, Angela RAI can we
talk about that a little bit?

Speaker 14 (01:27:25):
Oh my goodness. State of the People is powerful?

Speaker 19 (01:27:28):
And what's powerful about what Angela and team has done
because she's she is adamant that this is just not
about her.

Speaker 7 (01:27:35):
It's the village.

Speaker 19 (01:27:37):
And that's the way that you know, she was raised
in coalition building. But in a few short weeks, intentional
people decided that they were going to do something. We're
at a time where people feel hopeless, scared, and a
small but mighty group of people said, not on my watch,
that I am going to gather the people that I'm

(01:27:59):
going to make sure that a room is comprised of
people that can give resources, people that can give hope,
people that can give that direction. And when you look
left right, you see people that look like you. And
why I think State of the People is so important
as they go to other cities because history is determined
by what you do, and when the history books are written,

(01:28:22):
the history books are right that a group of people
decided to do something and do I think people left
State of the People feeling in power. Absolutely and then
when State of the People comes to other cities, I'm
really encouraging people to make sure they attend because it
is absolutely special.

Speaker 8 (01:28:38):
Absolutely well, keep doing the work, doctor Lakeisha Harman. We
appreciate you, and your new book is out right now
we'll get tell them more to find you.

Speaker 19 (01:28:46):
First of all, yes, you can find me at doctor
key Hallman. On social platforms you can get the book
and no one as self made dot com. But from
all major retailers entrepreneurs, you will most definitely love this book.
Leaders in the communities, you will love this book. It
is very practical and prescriptive. What I didn't say this,

(01:29:07):
but what's special about the way the chapters end, I
have reflection questions, and those reflection questions, by the time
you finish the book, you have a whole plan on
how to map out and build community.

Speaker 14 (01:29:19):
And true teacher format in truth Teacher for You're right, Lauren.

Speaker 7 (01:29:23):
The funny thing is.

Speaker 8 (01:29:24):
I think that you'll also realize you already have that community. Yes,
you just haven't acknowledged them as such. That's what that's
what I think. That's good Doctor Lakeisha Hall and her
new book Knowing Itself Made build your Village to flourish
in business and life.

Speaker 7 (01:29:36):

Speaker 14 (01:31:09):
And me and my dad talk. We have a good relationship,
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:31:12):
It's just not it's just not okay. I'm not crying.

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
Okay.

Speaker 14 (01:31:16):
Could I become the damn news ahead?

Speaker 7 (01:31:18):
Do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
Do you think it was you?

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
The lady?

Speaker 14 (01:31:21):
Them beads it's not enough on them, because yeah, you
need to pray some more.

Speaker 7 (01:31:25):
Your shoulder is as because you just talk.

Speaker 3 (01:31:28):
I need came around shoulder wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (01:31:30):
Be cat even off your father shoulder. It's just foggy.

Speaker 20 (01:31:39):
Speaking of father's diddy. He's a father, Okay, Yes he is, yes, Okay.
So remember the other day we were talking about did
these new defenses? And I was retarded, don't use that word.
Why how he was saying that he was incapable of

(01:32:04):
what you staying on one leg and seeing the fairy size.
So we were talking about his defenses, and we were
talking about how his attorneys are a legend and documents
that because he might have been under the influence of
drugs and or alcohol, he wasn't capable of cognitively thinking
through anything, so he shouldn't be her responsible. And we

(01:32:25):
were talking about how dumb of a defense that is,
because number one, that means something still possibly allegedly happened.
Number two, that means that there were drugs and alcohol involved,
which is what they were claiming in the first place.
Right now, I actually was able to obtain the full document,
which is the filing that this exclusive was broke from,
and I read through the documents and my opinion has changed.

Speaker 14 (01:32:44):
I don't think it's as dumb as of a defense.

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
Will it work?

Speaker 14 (01:32:47):
Okay, because what the.

Speaker 20 (01:32:49):
Document and what the filing and what their uh did
These legal teams focus is is intent. First of all,
in a criminal case, the burden of proof is on
the prosecutors, right, so they have to prove way more
than did he has to prove.

Speaker 14 (01:33:02):
Secondly, when you talk about intent, intent.

Speaker 20 (01:33:05):
Means that there has to be like a specific like
malice or like, you know, I was doing this on purpose,
I thought about it, all of that stuff. If he
is under the influence allegedly, right, and they can prove
at however way, which I think would be the issue
that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
because he was just partying, having a good time and
whatever happened. But there was no like he he's in

(01:33:27):
aspect of this is just a good time we're having,
we're drinking, we're doing this, we're doing that. I don't
have an ill intent intent to do anything if something
if something happened during that allegedly if something happened during
that time, it happened, But my intent was just to
you know, get allegedly high or drunk and have a
good time.

Speaker 8 (01:33:43):
That's interesting because I wonder it was more important in
the situation like that the intention or the impact, because
even if you're an intention wasn't to do something like say,
you're under influence, but then you kill somebody, So can
I use that as an excuse?

Speaker 12 (01:33:55):
Well?

Speaker 20 (01:33:58):
Yeah, like when people like if you ac like uh
with concidents, when people pass away, like you don't intend
to get in your car and kill anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
Maslaughter as opposed to homicide.

Speaker 20 (01:34:07):
Exactly, That's what I'm saying. I don't know how well
it'll work, but it's not as stupid as I thought
that it was. But the issue will be they had
this doctor coming in who there's no way at the
time he had examined puff and was able to be like, yup,
you know what, he's completely under the influence of whatever.
So how do you prove that that what they're saying
as a.

Speaker 8 (01:34:25):
Doctor do rectal exams on all the male victims though,
that's what people really need to see what the hell
is going on? And I'm gonna tell you something else.
I have no idea what the hell did he's even
charged with anymore exactly? I thought I knew, but they
flooded his own so much. There's so much information. I
don't even know what he's what he's.

Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
Being He don't know either, and that's that's the crazy thing.

Speaker 5 (01:34:45):
That's crazy because even even Lord Dirk is about to
go like to court to try to like and why now,
I'm just saying, because did he the only one that's
staying inside?

Speaker 3 (01:34:55):

Speaker 5 (01:34:57):
So it got to be something that they're not telling
your something that's not leaking, or it's something something. Yeah,
but we haven't got to the nitty gritty of why
he hasn't been able to come home.

Speaker 20 (01:35:08):
Like it's a rocketeer conspiracy, it's sex trafficking by force, fraud, coercion,
transportation to engage in prostitution.

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
Yeah, I forgot about all that.

Speaker 14 (01:35:16):
Yeah, but I know that there was.

Speaker 20 (01:35:17):
A there was a forced labor charge that was added
at one point. But they the judge, right, a judge
rule that they can't they can't use that. But they
did rule that that that Cassie video can be admitted
as evidence. But I did want to come back with
that after I read the doctor.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
He's not.

Speaker 14 (01:35:38):
He's not, but they are.

Speaker 20 (01:35:39):
They're asking if they can use that as evidence. And
what they'll probably try to do because Cassie will have
to take the stand they'll try to basically pint the
picture of just how much of a I don't care
about anything monster?

Speaker 3 (01:35:50):
He is like they did my thought.

Speaker 14 (01:35:51):
They let him to be like they tried what they
did with the bell the bond, which is why he still.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
Didn't say that video was edited. He said that yeah,
but that that was added yeah, And.

Speaker 20 (01:36:00):
The prosecutors came out and said, no, we have a
recorded version of the full video.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
But yeah, just tell me what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:36:06):
I got you. You're coming with me.

Speaker 5 (01:36:09):
I'm gonna go with you. I'm gonna I need to
get to the bottom of it too. But listen, I
have a story that I want to break to. Executive
producer of Baddie's on Wills accuses Roland Ray of ghosting
her aft the Paymenties on Wil So you know the
wheelchair people, people that are in wheelchairs, right and they
can still be bad. So they're Baddies on wheels and

(01:36:29):
they have a show on No, No, I don't think
this is on zeus.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
I don't think. I don't know. I need you to
reach out to see where it's at.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
But so it's handicapped people.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
Yes, hand handicap party right now, rolland Ray you don't
know Rolling Ray, do you? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
Roland Ray was supposed to be on.

Speaker 5 (01:36:47):
He's supposed to do somewhere and that they send him payment.
He ghosted them. Now Roller Ray is on for doing
this all around DC. Let me just say that right there.
But he did this to an executive producer of Batti's
on Whales.

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
That is crazy. He ran off with somebody, But how
can you not catch somebody in a wheelchair?

Speaker 2 (01:37:04):
No, he did it? Stop all right?

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
Well, he rolled off with somebody money, But how can't
you just like.

Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
Run down on him? It's like, why are you?
