Katzenberg in a horriy Robert Hundren. I believe it's how
you pronounced Hardy, he's last name. But they stopped through
the Breakfast Show and then the Breakfast Club. I don't
know why they didn't correct Jeffrey Katsburg when he said
the Breakfast Show on the promo. But Jeffrey was the

(02:39):
chairman of Walt Disney from eighty four to ninety four.
You know, created some of your favorite animated films like Aladdin,

(03:14):
online is impacting not just kids' mental health, with a
lot of people's mental health.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
But that's what our aura is about. So they'll be
here to talk about.

Speaker 7 (03:20):
That this morning.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
All right, Well, let's get the show cracking. Can we

It's a Friday, dammit, let's be happy. The weekend is here.
Next week is fourth of July. A lot of us

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
I literally thought you was talking about for real happy.
But yeah, they're going to be married period.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's Mary J. Blige, Be Happy. We throwing it back
on a Friday's Breakfast Club. Good morning, Owning everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the Guy. We are the
breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news Morning Muggain.

Speaker 8 (04:00):
Good morning, Good morning, Happy Friday, how we feeling on
a follow You know, I love to hear that. Okay,
So first on front page, Democrat and Republican senators are
sharing different and very contrasting views on the Iran strikes
after Intel briefing. Now, Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy says
Iron's nuclear program has been damaged, but not quote obliterated,

(04:22):
as President Trump maintains. He also noted that the Director
of National Intelligence, Tulci Gabbard, was notably absent from the briefing. Meanwhile,
Republican Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina was confident about
the US strikes. Let's take a listen to the comments
from those senators.

Speaker 9 (04:41):
I just do not think a president was selling the
truth when the accept this program was literated.

Speaker 10 (04:46):
The Director of National Intelligence is not allowed to.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Be in these briefings. That's a question that we should
get answered.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Nobody is going to work in these three sites anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
They're not going to get into him in his time soon.

Speaker 11 (05:01):
Their operational capability was obliterated.

Speaker 8 (05:05):
Yeah, So this comes as the White House says President
Trump has ended Iran's nuclear threat once and for all.
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said Iran was weeks away from
developing a nuclear program before Trump ordered their sites to
be again quote obliterated.

Speaker 12 (05:21):
Continue to use that word by US bombers.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
She slammed US media reports about the effectiveness of the
strikes on Iran's nuclear capability or nuclear facility. Excuse me,
let's take a listen to those comments from White House
Press Secretary Caroline Levit.

Speaker 13 (05:38):
The Iranian regime was weeks away from being able to
produce a nuclear weapon that would threaten the entire world
before President Trump took this decisive action on Saturday night
to obliterate their nuclear capabilities.

Speaker 14 (05:51):
Despite agenda driven leaks by the fake news media aimed
at undermining this incredible accomplishment achieved by President Trump and
our brave fighter, there is broad consensus emerging already that
Iran's nuclear capabilities were indeed destroyed.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
So, of course, for comments come while questions swirl about
the effective effectiveness of the strikes, the White House been
playing has been playing defense, trying to debunk a leaked
Intel report sayings Iran's nuclear program has been delayed, but
not destroyed. Levitt was pivoting, saying the Trump administration now
looks forward to peace and prosperity in the region, and

(06:29):
Iran Supreme Leader Ayatola Ali Kameni says the US achieved
quote nothing from its military strikes on his nation. Committee
added during more of the than a ten minute address,
the American President exaggerated events in unusual ways, and it
turned out that he needed this exaggeration.

Speaker 12 (06:48):
That's what he said.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
So this, of course, that marked the first public remarks
since the US bomb three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday,
and the Ayatola declared victory in the conflict. He also
pushed back on President Trump's claims that the strikes were
a spectacular spectacular military success and warned against any further attack.
So that goes to show you know where we are

(07:11):
in terms of whether or not we're dealing with the Obviously,
the ceasefire is holding right now, but it's not all
as sweet as things claim.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
We got to use some common sense with some of
this too, right, Like the Iran Supreme Leader might be
trying to save face, but you know, if you drop
thirty thousand pound you know, bunker busting bombs on the facility.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Something happened.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, you can't sit here and say that nothing happened
and it wasn't effect like they said, you're not going
to work tomorrow. Like I was reading what Raphael Grossi said.
He's the International Atomic Energy Agency director, and he said,
I think annihilated is too much, but it suffered enormous damage.
And Iran's Foreign ministry spokesperson he also said that our

(07:55):
nuclear installations have been badly damaged. That's for sure. Once again,
you dropped thirty then pound bunkers on something. Something happened.
You can't sit here and say that nothing happened, it
wasn't effective, they did nothing.

Speaker 8 (08:05):
Like come on right, Well, we'll continue to watch the situation,
monitor the situation, and see what develops out of that.
Now we will take it to seven am. We will
talk about how the President Trump is threatening lawsuits against
both CNN and the New York Times over reports regarding
these US air strikes.

Speaker 12 (08:24):
So you guys stick around for that at seven.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. Eight
hundred five eight five one oh five to one if
you need to vent phone lines or wide open again.
Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one is
the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. I made
it this is your time to get it off your chest,
whether you're man or blessed. I hate the way that

(08:47):
you walk, the way did you talk, I hate the
way you dress.

Speaker 15 (08:50):
Everything when nears best call up next eight hundred five
eight five one.

Speaker 10 (08:55):
Not just me, I'm what the coach of Philly.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Hello, who's this in the morning?

Speaker 16 (09:00):
This is James from Carolina?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
James, what's up? Get it off your chest?

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (09:05):
I mean I wanted to put it out there.

Speaker 17 (09:06):
Anybody out there that be stealing from other people, You
donna that's around to get yourself hurt or worse.

Speaker 18 (09:11):
Man, I mean, we're all out here struggling, so.

Speaker 16 (09:15):
There's no need for that taking from other people.

Speaker 18 (09:18):
A lady in my neighborhood.

Speaker 16 (09:20):
Earlier this week, somebody stolen her wallet out of her car.
She got two young boys man and she worked.

Speaker 18 (09:26):
They wouldn't want to do through my car.

Speaker 16 (09:27):
But I don't keep anything value with my car. But
if I can catch these.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
People, and you know what's so funny, It's so funny
as you be stealing from people who just trying to
make it just like you are.

Speaker 19 (09:37):
So it's like, yeah, I know that's what.

Speaker 18 (09:40):
Who messed up?

Speaker 10 (09:41):
Man?

Speaker 16 (09:42):
Are you stealing?

Speaker 18 (09:42):
From other people.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, I will say this though, and it's very sad.
But if you if you look at it, and I'm
not saying it's okay. A lot of these times, these
kids sixteen seventeen years old, they'll steal a car or
steal items out of a car. And let's say they
steal a car, somebody have paid them five seven thousand
for that car. For them is easy money because if
they get locked up, they come right out. There's no bail,
there's no nothing. And then until they change that, that's

(10:07):
that's the only way you're gonna start changing these kids'
mind friends, because it's really no penalty. Think about it.
You steal a call, they pay you seven thousand dollars.
If you get caught, you come right home in a
couple of hours.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
That's that's why my man said, you know, there's there's
gonna be consequences. By the way, that's North Carolina. Carolina
is different. No Canlina ain't got no no bail law
like New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I think everywhere pretty much got no bail laws.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Let me make let me make sure I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I know New York, New Jersey, La, there is mad
mad town like pretty much everybody got no bail laws
in the month.

Speaker 18 (10:34):
Now, Well, all I said, I these people, man, it's
gonna be talking. It's going to be me in there.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yes, sir, Yeah, North Carolina does not have a no
bail there's no Yes, sir, I don't think they, brother,
there's no blanket policy eliminating bail for all crimes in
North Carolina, New York, New.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Jersey, North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
That's what we said.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Carolina like New York, New Jersey?

Speaker 7 (10:57):
Do is?

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I mean you come out immediately, which is which is
very sad.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Hello, who's this Bobby? Hey, Bobby, Bobby.

Speaker 16 (11:06):
I was holding on.

Speaker 19 (11:07):
The other day and then y'all hung up on me.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Oh this king all blacks?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, why man, I told him not to keep you
on hold like that.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Man, we some of people. You know, you got some
employees that need to be deported.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
To be totally honest with you, brother, get up with chest.

Speaker 20 (11:27):
Hey, I'm curious for charlamaide, I'm curious what's the odds
of Baty getting out acquitted of everything.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I honestly have no idea, my brother, you know, I'm
just like everybody else, you know, speculating playing YouTube lawyer,
I have no.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
I really honestly have no idea.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
If you asked me, I think he The best case
scenario for him is a hung hung jury. Other than that,
I mean, I can I can see them getting him
on the prostitution charges. But then it's the feds, bro,
like the fans got a ninety five percent conviction rate.
Who knows what's gonna happen. I really don't know, like
you know, and I have no idea.

Speaker 19 (12:05):
And then when they and then when they showed that
they him was kind of weak, it kind of gave
him hope.

Speaker 20 (12:11):
But I think I agree with you man. At the
end of the day, I think they might get him
on something.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think did he walk? I don't think he gets
time served. I think did he walk? I don't think
he must.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
The fans, I don't. I don't think. I don't think
that they.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
See people beat the fans before got he beat the
fans And.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Name another one. They got a ninety five percent conviction rate.
Ninety five. Listen, here's the thing. I don't think that
even when you say they've charges were weak, I don't
think that they're weak. They just screamlined them, that's all.
And then how you're gonna tell you. Imagine me telling
you not to consider something you already heard.

Speaker 20 (12:42):
You know what I'm saying here, but that See, but
with that, when you said that, the problem with that
is they can't consider it.

Speaker 19 (12:51):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
I know what is in their mind.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, but you still think about it. You know you're
not supposed to consider it. But when you're deliberating, that's
you's still something that you know what you heard?

Speaker 5 (13:00):
That's right, Dad, you're talking about when on the freak
off tapes.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, they telling them not to consider the arson or
the kidnapping.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
Oh okay, how many?

Speaker 18 (13:10):

to get the quitted.

Speaker 19 (13:17):
The same people that said that he was gonna go
to jail.

Speaker 4 (13:20):

Speaker 3 (13:20):
I mean, listen, I honestly don't know what's gonna happen,
King all Blacks.

Thank you, Jess Loan becoming a straight fast.

Speaker 1 (17:17):

Speaker 10 (17:17):
Somebody that knows, somebody gets to detail.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
And she'd be having the latest on.

Speaker 7 (17:26):
The Latest with Lauren la Rossa.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything. It's the latest on
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
All right, y'all.

Speaker 21 (17:36):
So yesterday in court, closing arguments begin, so the prosecution
is up.

Speaker 9 (17:41):
First.

Speaker 21 (17:42):
They took the full day yesterday, yesterday. It was a
very long day, even though it was it was a
shorter day. So basically what they did in their closing
statements or closing arguments arguments were they they took us
back through a lot of the stories that they've told
us the whole time we've been in court, and they
specifically pointed to different charges that these stories proved. One
of the things that they spent a lot of time

(18:03):
on was the Man Act, and they were trying to
basically have a conversation about what actually, like, what is
required to prove that Diddy was flying in these.

Speaker 9 (18:14):
Different escorts and blah blah blahlah blah like all those things.

Speaker 21 (18:16):
Right, so directly the prosecutor is telling the jurors, like,
you know, you don't have to worry about if force
was required, fraud, coercion, or even the consent, because you
don't need any of that as long as we can
prove that there were these people flown in and that
Diddy was allegedly at the like he was the one
paying in organizing this.

Speaker 9 (18:36):
That is the charge. They did a lot of laying
that out yesterday before.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
That's what they got all Kelly on.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
They got all Kelly on several violations of the Man Act.

Speaker 21 (18:44):
They brought up rour Kelly a lot in the day
before in the charging conference when they were talking about
how they were going to word the instructions to the jury.
You do a lot of like case law to say
why you're able to like argue for certain words and
things of that nature.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
And they brought up A Kelly a lot of times
different times.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
See say that she she flew people in as well
and paid them as well, and he took care of
all of that.

Speaker 21 (19:05):
But at the same time they they literally had communication
that they showed on the screen yesterday from Diddy. That is,
you know, he's talking to escorts, he's asking for their
information for flight stuff, he is transferring money different places.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
But he's saying sex because I thought he was part
of that was he.

Speaker 9 (19:20):
Was see now that see now that is a thing.

Speaker 21 (19:23):
So yes, his team is arguing that they were paid
for their time in their discretion, but the prosecution is
saying that is ridiculous and what they did use appointed
that at one at one point was there was like
a communication between Diddy and one of the escort services
and he was complaining because the escort that they had,
I didn't want to say brented.

Speaker 9 (19:43):
That sounds so unhuman. But the escort that got paid,
they that they hired.

Speaker 21 (19:48):
Didn't finish or whatever. So Diddy was like he couldn't
even complete the job. But he never said what the
job was. It was very vague. So that's going to
be a point of argument as well. But yeah, that
that's that took majority of the time at court yesterday.
Court was so packed, y'all. I've never so the main
court room. Of course, was closed by the time I

(20:08):
got there, because I was here and I was told
that there was a ton of family there. So his
sons are there, his daughters are back, his mom is
always there, some of his son's friends, all the things.
But the overflow room itself was like pack you walked in,
they had escort us to a backup overflow room.

Speaker 9 (20:23):
There were so many people there yesterday.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Ms right, yeah, but that makes sense.

Speaker 21 (20:26):
Yeah, but today and the actual like the day that
the verdict comes down, of course, is going to be
even crazier.

Speaker 9 (20:32):
So court has gotten that crazy.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
So what's today?

Speaker 9 (20:35):
So today the defense is going to go.

Speaker 21 (20:37):
So the defense will start having conversations about what their
closing arguments are, and they're obviously going to argue a
lot of what you just said, like.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Because it has to be proven for reasonable doubt, right, yes,
So the fact that he didn't say completion, that finish,
that could be taken many different ways.

Speaker 9 (20:52):
Yeah, but that's what they were arguing.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
You've done.

Speaker 9 (20:55):
Literally, they were.

Speaker 21 (20:56):
Arguing about like what the what the terminology around it,
the terminology around the commercial sexual acts is. Remember I
told you guys that, like do you actually have to
finish or do you not have to.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
I don't even that honestly does not make no sense
because if you purchase the prostitute, you purchased.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
The prostet, you purchase the escort. Well purchased.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
If it's legal, illegal is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
But to purchase of escort. People purchase escorts every day.

Speaker 9 (21:17):
But that was an argument. Yes that was but that
was a.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Comfort though, and for dating, not for sex. It's not
illegal if you purchasing for comfort. But it wasn't illegal
because they're saying that he purchased it for sex.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
It don't matter if it's illegal if I order a
prostitute and not just say I just wanted to talk
to her, still paid for the prostitute.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
There's escort services that people can use, like if.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Like listen, this wasn't one of them, is what I'm saying.
It's not a legal escort service he used.

Speaker 21 (21:45):
Well, yeah, there was an export service that he did use.
But what I was trying to say was that was
an argument in court on the charging conference day, because
what is what is happening is the prosecutors are arguing
that yes, you can pay for escorts to come and
blah blah blah. But because of what actually went down
from what we've heard on the stand from escorts, it
then changes the terminology into prostitutes, but also to not

(22:07):
even just the escorts. The prosecution is arguing that anybody
that was flown in money was at any way transferred,
So whether he's paying for something or he's paying you directly,
whether you're an escort or you're just a woman coming
in that they can have a conversation about whether you're
a prostituted.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
So that he's charged with engaging in prostitution, they're trying
to prove it wasn't prostitution.

Speaker 21 (22:26):
Basically yes, his team, his team, yes, yes, one hundred
percent now and I will say too. They also were
arguing yesterday in court, not arguing, but they were having
a conversation with the jury yesterday in court that it
only takes one instance, like they only need to prove
one time that did he allegedly pay for these mail
escorts to travel in for the sexual encounters in order

(22:47):
to convict him. So their whole thing yesterday with the
prosecutors was we are we've been more than clear on
our case, and here's all the reasons why the text messages,
everything that they broke down.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
And the crazy part about this too is right if
did he did pay a prostitute or pay somebody for sex? Right, Yeah, diddies,
the only want to be in charge. The prostitute themselves
is not being charged. They just got immunity. The other
person that paid for it got immunity.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Everybody, you come home, you ain't gonna be as a
wrong boy.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I don't know, but you got to base it off
for everything. Everybody should be charged with it, but evenybody
should be charged.

Speaker 9 (23:22):
But even with the RICO right.

Speaker 21 (23:24):
Because remember we were arguing about like how they're going
to figure that out, if they are going to be
able to figure that out.

Speaker 9 (23:27):
They what their prosecution is.

Speaker 21 (23:29):
Doing now is they're bringing it like the indictment started
up here right like we land and see they came
into his homes. Now they're bringing it down by we
only need one instance of all these things we've told
you about. So yesterday were arguing that to convict Diddy
on that RICO charge, they only need they only need
to find Diddy did he agreed that he or another
member of his organization would commit at least two criminal

(23:50):
acts under that charge? So, and they've talked about several
different times where even if you didn't go into the
crime with him, you watch things happened when downs down.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
That makes you part of the crown.

Speaker 9 (24:02):
Yeah, you're right there, so.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
But that's my point.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Diddy's the only one that's charged the prostitutes. Is not
charge none of the other people that paid the charge.
Nobody else in charge. But did he This is why community, correct,
This is why people should just be gay. Like he
could have had all the men he wanted legally.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
You know what I mean, It wouldn't have to freaking
fight through none of this red tape if he just
had the freedom to be himself.

Speaker 9 (24:23):
But what if.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
What if he bisexuals?

Speaker 1 (24:28):
That's why he should just be gay?

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Whatever?

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Is all I'm simply saying is you're bringing all of
these men in Okay for whatever reason?

Speaker 5 (24:34):
All right?

Speaker 3 (24:34):
He just felt like he wasn't free to be whatever
he was supposed to be, so he had to pay
for it.

Speaker 9 (24:39):
What if he got off on paying for it though?

Speaker 1 (24:44):
That you know something?

Speaker 7 (24:45):
The bread.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yes, you could be a sugar daddy for another man,
you know, Yeah, but he could trick on a woman,
you could trick on a man.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
But I don't even think it's the gayer bye. I
think he wanted a professional pounder to pound out his girl.
Shut up, man, you know what I'm saying, because you
ain't even serious about none of this.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
And that's why I don't even like having to come.
He was this man, a professional and he's trying to
have all of this legal jogging with Lauren and he's
just playing. I know, he just waiting for me to
start playing.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
But seeing that's why he keeps going want.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Pounding like somebody professional.

Speaker 21 (25:23):
That's what he says, And that's crazy. You used to
be a survival. Now you sit here talking about professional pounder,
and the.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Next he can't get a professional, he's.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Just getting a professional pend. I'm trying to be there
to say I just want him to be who he
really is.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
If that's who he really is, okay, and that's gay,
but then help me come home.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
He's gonna certainly be on the flow willos King at
the bride with.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
All the other professional pounders.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
They just yes, is going to.

Speaker 10 (25:53):
Be full of professional pounders.

Speaker 4 (25:56):

(27:19):

some front page news. What up, muggan?

Speaker 12 (27:24):
Hey y'all, Hey, how we feeling?

Speaker 11 (27:26):
Girl?

Speaker 12 (27:27):
All right, let's get back into it.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
So President Trump is threatening lawsuits against both CNN and
The New York Times over reports surrounding recent US air
strikes and Iran. A lawyer for Trump sent a letter
to both news outlets saying they had damaged Trump's reputation,
demanding a retraction and apology for reporting that the attack
on Iran had set back the country's nuclear program by

(27:51):
only a few months in instead of saying that it
was obliterated, like Trump would like for people to say now.
The Times posted a response on Thursday, rejected the demands
and saying they told the truth to the best of
their ability. A CNN spokesperson also confirmed the letter was
responded to with rejection. It's very interesting story that you
know Trump is going to start taking legal action against

(28:14):
news outlets.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
So, I mean, I guess.

Speaker 8 (28:18):
In other news, President Trump continues to promote his big,
Beautiful Bill at an event yesterday to drum up support
for the spending bill. Trump was flanked by working Americans
wearing their uniforms.

Speaker 12 (28:29):
Of their employers.

Speaker 8 (28:31):
Now, the President spoke about what he believes what his
big beautiful bill, spending bill will accomplish. Let's take a
listen to his comments.

Speaker 22 (28:39):
One of the most important pieces of legislation in the
history of our country. The one big beautiful bill to
secure our borders, temperate charge our economy, and bring.

Speaker 23 (28:51):
Back the American dream.

Speaker 12 (28:53):
That's what's happening too.

Speaker 8 (28:54):
So Trump said the spinning bill would benefit the middle
class Americans joining him, Trump said his aids initially wanted
the bill to be split up into smaller pieces, but
you know, he is pushing for that one big beautiful bill,
that one piece of legislation. Now, the President says he
expects the bill to be on this desk by July fourth.
The measure passed the House and now sits in the Senate,

(29:16):
where Republicans can only afford to lose three votes, and
there have been some Republicans indicating that they will not
vote along party lines with this Now. Democrats say the
bill cuts Medicaid and other social safety nets by billions.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Of dollars.

Speaker 8 (29:28):
Republicans say these are much needed reforms to the programs
that cut the deficit. And also during that those remarks, apparently,
Trump mentioned that the US and China have reached a
deal over rare earth elements rare earth materials. Now, the
US and China, of course reached that deal to the

(29:49):
production of everything from automobiles and electronics to fighter jets.

Speaker 12 (29:53):
Trump said the deal.

Speaker 8 (29:55):
Had been signed the day before, with the White House
confirming it would help. Both countries reached an understanding over
how to expedite shipments to the US. Western companies have
faced difficulties in getting rare earth medals, and they need
from banj that they need from Beijing. Trump made a
quick remark during the event for his big beautiful bill,
and let's take a listen to that.

Speaker 23 (30:15):
Do you remember a few months ago the press was saying,
do you really have anybody of any Injine as well?
We just signed with China yesterday, right, just signed with China.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
So in the US, China has been carefully looking at
buyers to make sure those rare earth medals aren't being
used by the military. So this is for you know,
computer chips, you know how President Trump is saying America first,
and he wants everything made in America. Well, we still
need to get those rare earth materials in order to
do that in some of those electronics, cars and things

(30:47):
of that nature. And in local news for you guys,
New York Mayor Eric Adams is officially kicking off his
re election campaign. Adams announced he would run as an
independent in April and attack the perceived front runner of
the mayoral race, Mom Donnie.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Mayor.

Speaker 8 (31:01):
Eric Adams said he's not it's not time for socialism,
and he acts New Yorkers to get behind him.

Speaker 12 (31:06):
Us take a listen to his comments.

Speaker 17 (31:08):
A choice between someone who delivered lower crime, the most
jobs in history, and the most new housing built built
in decades, and an assembly member who did.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Not pass a bill.

Speaker 17 (31:19):
We're gonna lift up the city of New York and
so I'm asking you New york Is to continue to
stand with me as we moved this city in the
right direction.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
I'm ready to be your mayor.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
I can't.

Speaker 8 (31:34):
Zeron Mom Donnie, a socialist Democrat, declared himself the winner
of Tuesday's primary mayoral primary, and Adams will also face
a Republican that Curtis Sleeva, Independent, Jim Walden, and possibly
former Governor Andrew Cromo if he decides to run as
an independent.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
It's crazy to me our socialism is such a dirty word, man,
because all socialism is is where you know, they want
to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor,
and they want to make sure everybody has access to
their basic necessities. And you know, when government intervention is
needed for somebody to you know, have those basic necessities,
then they can happen, you know, whether it's healthcare, education, housing.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Just aiming to improve the overall well being of citizens.
You know, that is what socialism is.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
That's why I like when with Mandani uses the affordability
when he says, you know, let's talk affordability.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
And I said that to him when he was here.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
I'm like, Democrats can come up with all types of
other language, right, They'll say pregnant person and all this.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Other goofy stuff.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
How come they can't come up with a better way
to talk about socialism because people try to demonize socialism,
but when you actually look under the hood to what
you know, it.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Is hell, yeah, you would want your basic necessities.

Speaker 8 (32:43):
Dealt with, right and as I understood it, or as
I read it, it does like you said, it closes
the gap, but it also gives the people more of
a voice.

Speaker 12 (32:50):
Is that correct too?

Speaker 7 (32:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
I just know that I'm just talking about the financial
aspect of it. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (32:55):
Okay, Well, well, before I go, let me to do
one more big one for you and me, Charlemagne shout

John Cena will be joining us. The new movie How

Speaker 4 (34:13):
The breakfast slogan Morning the breakfast Club. It's probably usually
little kids though, right, not adults. No, it's mostly don't
do it.

Speaker 9 (34:24):
They're welcome to you.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
The joke is mostly adults. Kids are great, their enthusiastical,
They're like, oh, John Cena. Adults will be like, who
am I talking to? Exactly even there, So like the
joke is more of an adult thing, and the enthusiasm,
I guess is more of.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
I have it if the joke was told, how are
you feeling? First and foremost, that's what we usually so,
how are you feeling? How's everything?

Speaker 2 (34:47):
By the way, thanks for asking. I appreciate that. Not
a lot of times people ask like.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
How you doing? How are you feeling? Nobody cares you're
John Cena.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
They care about them and want that's selfie.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
That's a perspective for sure.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
I just even in life, not a lot of folks
you genuinely ask, man, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (35:04):
How you're feeling today? I'm great, man, don't grasp how
you guys doing?

Speaker 24 (35:06):
All right?

Speaker 4 (35:07):
If you weren't great, would you tell us?

Speaker 7 (35:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I would know. I certainly would. Admittedly, promotion wears on
you a little bit, so the days are long. But uh,
the way I've compartmentalized it is climb the hill in
front of I got. I get to share forty five
minutes with you guys today. I love the project, and

(35:29):
we don't. Honestly, if we're having a good time, we'll
be here for as long as we have. But somebody
will eventually drag me out of here. But no, besides
being a little exhausted. I'm man, I'm good. Life is
life is good for me.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
One thing I noticed about you when I shook your hand,
and your hands are biggish. Oh my damn.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I mean I can't do much about that. I have
what I have. Yeah, two catchers mets.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, the little guys always say that to you, like
your hands are so big because.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
He's trying to do it being a little you got
real like it. It is a meaty hand. Yeah, they're
a meaty pair emits.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
When you sat of people. Yeah, it's you need those
medi hits.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
But it's not like they're they're not like a like
a nice long like a piano player hands.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
So I don't have that. It's just a bunch of sausages.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, sausage. Yes, uh, you know. I hit a pretty
decent gross s burt like around thirteen fourteen, and that's
when everything started to like grow and my I guess
I grew into my bone structure.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
So right around that, you start having fun with them
around at time zone. No, No, I was having fun
with them far before then.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Okay, gotcha, what is my penis getting small get bigger?

Speaker 4 (36:41):
That's the thing, all right?

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Excellent now this is your first time here, so I
want to I want to start up what got you
into wrestling for people that don't know what got you there?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
So professionally an accident, you know, from as a fan standpoint,
I was a young person growing up in the the
national broadcast of wrestling when w w F first launched it. Hey,
this wrestling is now a national and global phenomenon like
the Hulk Hogan under the Giant era. I was a
little kid in that time, so I got swept up

(37:14):
in the in the mania and the madness and uh
then as an adolescent you're like, Okay, well that's a
nice thing to be a fan of, but the hell
you're gonna do that for an occupation. So it found
me by accident after shortly after I graduated.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
College that.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
We about John.

Speaker 10 (37:41):
It was like, yeah, it is.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
It is interesting, though, John, because I've of course seen
you as a wrestling I've seen interviews before, but this
feels like the Little John Dave Chappelle's kid. When you
sit down with Little John, you expect them to be.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Like, yeah, just you just messed talking about penis size
and hand side.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
Talking about masturbation reading.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
I'm not that but okay, I wasn't they expect I
exeed you to come in here like you look like
you run it from Congress, Like yeah, right now, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
So I guess we only have our judgments of what
we're you know, accustomed to seeing. And I've been I've
been fortunate enough to be in people's living rooms every
single week, fifty two weeks here for twenty five years. Wow,
And usually I'm in front of an audience, revving them
up for a fight or getting my ass kicked.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
So I get that. I get I understand why they
would think.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
And you've you've built a brain a brand around like
hustle and loyalty and respect.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
But has that ever come at the cost of, like vulnerability?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Could you talk more about that these people, like, like,
how do you define emotional screens? Like the people expect
you to be like like, I guess, emotionally intelligent, sensitive,
but just show your vulnerable side.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Do you always have to be in like the John
Cena tough guy.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well, I've worked very hard to to try and use
my storytelling through WWE. If again, I've got a twenty
five year arc as the same character. So if you
essentially go out and play the same stuff all the time.
People get tired, so you have to introduce your character.

(39:18):
And my character started as an underdog and a very brash,
smack talking character who got their ask act all the time.
And then I began to like lean into this sort
of Superman persona and that only works for so long,
and then the audience Like, I really feel like I
have a strong connection with the audience because I put

(39:38):
myself out there. I'll embrace losing, I'll embrace embarrassment, I'll
embrace failure, And I think those are all important things,
not only man for life skills, but to connect with
the viewing audience so they can watch for a quarter
of a century and still be like, that's my guy.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Yeah that is not When NBA ask you how you're doing,
like that was very disarming.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
For you, Like no, I just think it's great, and
you were genuine it's yeah, what's up?

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Everybody like you were like, man, let's start with this,
how are you?

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Because it's a lot, it's a lot of people come
up in you know, press runs a lot of people.
It's a it's a lot in and out. You're talking
to different people a lot of times. A lot of
the answers are the same answer over and over over
and again.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
It's almost thing.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
So we just like the things out the box and
how are you doing it?

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Just thank you for asking.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
Man. It's really good to be here see everyone again.

Speaker 15 (40:24):
It's been a while. I'm good, Thank you, man. I mean,
you know, it's been a busy press run. I love
working with the guy and we get to Oh, thank
you very much, very very kind of you.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
But I'm good. Thank you for asking. I'm feeding good.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
When you have two leading men like yourself on set, right,
is there ever any like real rivalry that develops.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Who gets the bigger trailer, who gets to go to
lunch first?

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Man? I think you want to speak on that.

Speaker 7 (40:53):
Yeah, no, I mean look, I think one of the
things that.

Speaker 15 (40:56):
I love working well, I love working with Jonas that
he is very humble, He's very grounded. As famous as
he is, as successful as he is. When we're all
on the set, like we're all in this room right now,
we're making a movie, everybody, whether it's the person behind
the camera or in front, is equal. And that's something

(41:16):
that he, I think really strives to bring to this
film set. I love that we have both worked with
people that do not feel that way, that feel like
they are better and therefore actions need to act that way.
And so it is so refreshing to be with someone
work with someone that is, you know, an equal, and it's.

Speaker 7 (41:35):
Prepared to keep it all so we never have to
squabble fight. If we do, I'll kicks us.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
That's just how it works. Years man.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Going on, we got more with just Elbert and John Cena.
When we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Good Morning Morning, Everybody's DJ envy, just hilarious charlamage. The
guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it
with it. Just Elba and John Cena now heads to
state what is it all about for people that don't
know it's way the movie It comes out July second
on on Amazon prom Y first, and foremost.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
You can watch it whenever, wherever you want, on any
device you want. That's the great thing about Prime video,
so you don't have to carve out of time. I
love the theater experience, love it. But we got a
nice two hander, buddy action comedy that you can like.
It's you know, hour and forty five minutes. You can
enjoy anywhere you want.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
The screen or do you prefer the home because you said.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
So this one it's weird because it's like, it's a
big movie. We have huge effects and large scope. It
would look it would look dope in the theater. At
the same time, we got a great movie, and I
want to be able to get it to audiences around
the world. So now to be able to have an
outlet like Prime Video, man, and like everybody around the
world can watch this.

Speaker 15 (42:43):
I think though I have tried to cut you, but
I actually think that Amazon are leaving money on the
table this one.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
I think, okay, so that.

Speaker 15 (42:52):
It's a big scale movie, it's an absolute marvel of
filmmaking and it deserves to be seen in that form.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
I think it's built under the construct of those buddy
action comedy movies that we used to go to the theaters.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
And exactly I can't debate you on there.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
I agree, but I mean this is you got to
play the hand your delt where we're at, and I'm
grateful to you forgiving us a platform. They better want
to wrote the check to have us do the movie.
So we got a great movie, and I think it's
a great feeling to be able to say man, I
want more out of this.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
It's that good. It feels that good.

Speaker 21 (43:24):
So I was going to ask what you're saying that
did you feel that way from the minute you read
the script or when you're making the movie, because it
feels different when you're shooting something in theater versus something
that goes to streaming.

Speaker 7 (43:34):
I think it's the execution.

Speaker 15 (43:35):
When we's making the movie, you know, the scale of
the stunts, the style of it, and now it's reminiscent
of those big theater productions, so enduring it, we knew that, Ah,
this is a bigger movie than you know, your average
you know, streamer movie. No disrespect to that, but there's
a certain way you make movies for the cinema, and
this was made for the cinema.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Why didn't they get there?

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Because I have a producer friend, and my producer friend said,
you know, nowadays, you should just make the film and
you'll know where it should be after you make it.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
So why didn't make it the theater?

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Well, you know, that's a that's a question I think
far above our paid and I always I always operate
under the construct of it's not I'm not writing the check.
The best I can do is give the picture the
best I can do. And uh, you know, people, people
I've had. I just had a production company by a
movie called acn Verse Coyote that Warner Brothers shelf what

(44:26):
we did the movie? Everybody, no, no, yeah, it's with
the Warner's animated characters.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Myself, Will Forte, P J.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Bryan Dave Green directed and because of budget cuts, Warner
Brothers chose to shelve the movie. I totally understand that
it's their movie. They can do what they want with it.
So the best you can do is, well, man, it happens.
I'm not I didn't pay for the movie, you know,
I was. I was paid to provide a service.

Speaker 7 (44:50):
I did that.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
I was compensated fairly. And they at the end of
the day were like, you know what, now we don't
want anybody to see.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
This when something a shove like that, is it because
the movie is bad or is not the right time?
Because when this movie goals, did they say, you know what, John,
you know that your last one did amazing. Let's put
this one back and put it out.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
So again they own it. So they ended up selling
it to another production company, and that company is gonna
put it out, Oh gotcha.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
So another company.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Saw the positive upside of it, spent some money, Warner
sold it, and now the movie's going to see the
light of day. But like that's an example of men.
Why didn't go to theaters or why is it on
streaming or why is it on the shelf?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
We don't know.

Speaker 15 (45:25):
But this, this movie, this movie we made over two years,
right partly because in the middle of it there was
an actors strike, Yeah, and strike, and in that time,
the whole industry was on its back, you know what
I'm saying, Like, no one was sure of other theater
so you know, they went for the safe bed.

Speaker 7 (45:41):
Let's put this on streaming.

Speaker 15 (45:43):
They could have pivoted, right, but still, up until like
maybe Sinners, everyone was still a bit precarious.

Speaker 7 (45:48):
About the cinema, a little bit worried, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 15 (45:51):
I feel now that the landscape has shifted, there's a
movie like this would work really well.

Speaker 7 (45:56):
In the cinema.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
I agree, you happy to be there on prime video.
But I.

Speaker 6 (46:02):
Also had crazy chemistry and suicide Squad. What was it
like revisiting that dynamic in HEAs a state?

Speaker 15 (46:09):
It's great, it's great, I mean actually they were just
doing the same thing different costumes.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
You know, it's kind of the Peter Stafford, our producer
who worked with us on the Suicide Squad, would hear
us riff and be like, man, we got to keep
this act going. So he basically kept the act going
under the guise of heads of state.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
There's a lot of improv comedy.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
The script.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
The script is really good, and I think it was
because they saw us and hey, could you write something
in the dimension of this, And like a lot of
the comedy is through the action too, and like that's
that makes it even more global because you don't understand
what we're saying. You can appie in the face get
to laugh every time. Yeah, so a lot of the
action is is comedic.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
A lot of the comedy.

Speaker 15 (46:53):
But you know, you get those rappers that can walk
in the room and just fly off lyrics just like
flawless off the bar.

Speaker 7 (47:00):
Meaning this dude with the improv.

Speaker 10 (47:05):
I couldn't keep up.

Speaker 7 (47:06):
I could not keep up half of it.

Speaker 15 (47:08):
Then make a movie that's his wrestling background exactly, exactly exactly,
and you're both presidents in the movie, correct president.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
And breaking down of how you guys meeting what happens
for people that are interested in the movie.

Speaker 15 (47:22):
So at the beginning of the movie, right, the Prime
Minister of England, Sam Clark and the President of the
United States, well, Will Damager do not really get along. Okay,
my character has been a politician for six years in
a movie. You know what I'm saying. There's a cultural shift, mismatch. Anyway,
we don't get on. We're leaders of the free world,

(47:46):
you know, and we find ourselves in a situation that
neither of us expected. We go onto his plane, Air
Force one. It gets hijacked, see what I did? Anyway,
moving on, it gets taken down, and he and I
find ourselves in a survival film.

Speaker 7 (48:02):
And it's that obviously, you know.

Speaker 15 (48:03):
You start the movie at the end opposite ends of
each other, and you find it work your way towards
each other. There's a real big reason why these two
have been hijacked, and and that's what we find out
in the film.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Did this movie make you look at politics any different?
Either one of you?

Speaker 2 (48:20):
I think if you watch the movie, you'll understand, like,
it's just a pretty decent thrill right, It's escapism is
a thriller.

Speaker 21 (48:26):
It's definitely escapism too, and it has like a comedy element.
But when all the stuff recently happened with all the
nukes where you're like, oh, this this nuclear stuff, like
you'all were like, oh the time of it, this is
kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
This is crazy.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
I was thinking that the promotional tour might get interesting. Yeah,
I was thinking.

Speaker 5 (48:42):
Especially because you played the US President.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
I played the US President in a movie. Yes, yes, symbols.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Is there any yah?

Speaker 9 (49:00):
Who are the three? Be specific three John with sex symbols?

Speaker 4 (49:05):
What do I symbolist ejaculation? People love us women? You know,
women love us.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Guys look up to us like this symbols.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Ask you a question? What does he symbolize? Answer? He said,
is the premature ejaculations? Is that the sex that they handsome?

Speaker 25 (49:17):
Just say it like that is what I'm telling yall.
Can this whole room, I'm gonna say that.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
And you know, do you have to make sure that
you always are on T when you walk out the house, that.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
You always this is basically it is like do you
be given or do you not be giving?

Speaker 21 (49:41):
The girls be saying on T it's crazy asking.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
You go outside. You always have to be on point
because you are like me sex symbols.

Speaker 15 (49:50):
Uh No, I mean I appreciate that.

Speaker 7 (49:59):
Now.

Speaker 15 (50:09):
No, I just I like to make sure my elbows
and my ankles look don't look ashy.

Speaker 9 (50:14):
That's about you had like five of the same shirts too.
Was that your stylist, that was what you?

Speaker 15 (50:17):
Yeah, because I sweat, you know what I'm saying something,
I had to take that off and put the fresh
one on.

Speaker 7 (50:21):
Very observants.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
Got damn shirts.

Speaker 21 (50:27):
I saw them on the hanger, and I'm like, that's
a great stylist because it's hot outside and he's trying
to do a bunch of interviews today.

Speaker 9 (50:32):
That stylist is very smart.

Speaker 7 (50:33):
All right. So if you're observing what color with those shirts.

Speaker 9 (50:35):
They were that color?

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Now it was white.

Speaker 7 (50:37):
N you messed up. Now this is cream and those
are white and that.

Speaker 9 (50:41):
Was white and off white.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Oh sorry, all we got move with it, just Elbert
and John Cena. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
In the morning.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Everybody's telling j Envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we
are the breakfast Club. La La Rosa is here as well.
We're still kicking with it. Just Elbert and John Cena.
The new movie had a state, it's out July.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
John, Why don't folks ever really leave the WWE like
no matter how much success, like you or the rock
Head and other places like, they don't the money.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Well, I'm I'm retiring this year from competition. In December,
I will be done, and I will actually be the first.
I know you don't believe me, but my accents will
define you know, hopefully change your opinion. I think it's
a it's a combination of Certainly it's very lucrative. But
as a live performer, gosh, that going out there in

(51:33):
front of fifteen thousand people and having them go crazy
for you is a is a pretty nice feeling. But
it's just the physical toll. I can barely hang on
right now, Like I have certainly lost a step, And
I promised myself and I made open, accountable promises to
the fan base that when I get a step slower,
I am stepping out the door. So the business has

(51:54):
been great to me. I've been in it for twenty
five years. I got eighteen more dates left this year,
A last man to be in December, and that's going
to be the door shutting on me.

Speaker 15 (52:03):
Can I ask you a question? So the way that wrestlers,
you know, transfer to acting. Do you think actors can
transfer to wrestless?

Speaker 4 (52:10):
I do, I do.

Speaker 7 (52:12):
I just.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
This guy list you would be fine, all right.

Speaker 15 (52:23):
I don't think I would even wrestle. You know, one
of them guys that just talks a lot, you'd be great.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
You still got to get in the ring everyone while,
you know, fall down.

Speaker 15 (52:33):
Get up and just you know, I'll have some magic
powers and talks, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
Like, yeah, we've tried the magic powers thing a few times,
and that's that's a shot in the dars. Still get hurt.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
You still get hurt, your pain and get broken bones.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Like it's like any it's like any other physical thing,
like of course you get hurt. What we do is
we we essentially tell stories through live stunt. It's a
physical thing. Like of course you get hurt. I have
a list of surgeries a mile long. Thank goodness, nothing
has been incapacitating. Another reason why I want to close

(53:07):
the door. I'm good I made it through. You know,
but it is a physical thing, and we perform a lot.

Speaker 21 (53:13):
You've been talking a lot about, like your physical health,
which a lot of people in your arena don't do
like they kind of shine away from because they want
to seem like, you know, they're always these like superheroes.
A bit is that where we're going to see a
lot more from you in your retirement because I know
you now are like the SPF ambassador Forena skin cancer
battle and we talk a lot about that.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Well, they hired me because of the you can't see
me stunt. Neutrogena came out with the sunscreen you can't
see and they're like, oh, we'll get the you can't
see me guy. And when I show up to do
the campaign, I'm like, thank you, guys. I just had
too scarce. I had two spots removed of like basil melanoma,
and they're like, man, I was kind of introduced through
sunscreen through this campaign. I just had another spot removed.

(53:52):
So now I've had to go in three times and
get a call to be like, hey, the biopsy was cancerus.
We got to come in and dig out your shoulder again.
But by the way, it's just ignorance. Had I known, like, hey,
just you know, use some sunscreen and that you could
have prevented this. So if well, you know, if people
listen to what I have to say, and I can
just help somebody not get that phone call. That's a

(54:14):
cool deal. And at the same time, you're being able
to have a brand partnership that isn't just a cheap
ham sell of like, hey, this product helps save my life,
and I don't I don't mind sharing that. I don't
mind sharing my ignorance and failures with an audience if
it can help them be a little bit smart.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
What do you do with fans, because wrestling fans are
some of the wildness, right, what do you do when
fans cross that line?

Speaker 2 (54:37):
So I've also had the luxury of a lot of
experience with that, And if you asked me that ten
years ago, my answer would be different. Starting out trying
to gain a following, you want to give as much
as you can, and then you get that following and
you realize, well, in order to give, I've lost the
ability to essentially have all the luxuries that of anonymity,

(54:59):
that's privacy. That's a little frustrating. So I thought I
went through a period of thinking that work is different
than human in my human life, and I'm a human
here and I'm working here, and you need to leave
me alone. And that's that is a perspective that wasn't successful.
I am not perfect because there are some days I
wake up grumpy and there are some days I am
short on patience. But if there's one thing I'm really

(55:21):
trying to hit the throttle on, it is just have
a second of empathy for everyone. And that is there's
a difference between like fans and memorabilia hounds, because memorabilia is,
you know, it's a business. But even those people that
are doing that don't necessarily care about you or for you.
Your thing is going to help them financially. I used

(55:44):
to look at that as a way of like, man,
I'm just gonna sell You're sign this and you're gonna
sell it. But yo, my work can be a vehicle
to help someone, and maybe that's maybe that's my give back.
Maybe one signature at a time, I can help give
someone resources to have a better life. And I try
to keep that mindset. I will say it is tough

(56:05):
because sometimes I'm with my wife, I worry about her
safety because people don't pay attention.

Speaker 4 (56:10):
They just want what's out for them.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
They are they don't have a lot of empathy of
the scope afield. You know, I got followed by three
or four people a few nights ago. And I'm in
the car and I'm like, all right, I just told
the drivers change lanes. Three cars, changed lanes. Change lanes again.
All right, pull over the guys pull over. They come out, dudes,
get out of a car. The third car, the guy's
staying in there. And I told my wife's to stay

(56:33):
in the car. And I'm like, guys, come here, come on,
get out of the car. And I said, what you're
doing is wrong.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
And the driver of the car is like, yeah, I know.
I said, okay, listen, you want autographs.

Speaker 4 (56:43):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
You didn't get a chance to get it. Here's what
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna sign your stuff, but please,
you know what you're doing is wrong. Just get in
your car and turn around. Because we're about to be
in a position where I'm gonna have to take a
step that's gonna put everybody under a microscope because if
you stock me, I got to involve the authorities. I
don't know how that's going to go after that. Here's

(57:03):
what you want, And normally I would just be pissed off.
I just took a deep breath. Here's what you want, Is
it okay? If we come to agreement, lean in with kindness.
You guys just bang a U turn. Everybody's happy. And
I got to tell you, I don't think that approach
is going to work one hundred percent of the time.
But they would all just bang the U turn and
left me on my way. President, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (57:28):
You don't know what's going on in those cars.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
So I honestly just believe in the good in humanity,
and I think instinct can tell you if a situation
is one that you should avoid approach. I don't use security.
I don't have like an entourage. I haven't. I believe
that that people are genuinely good, and I also believe
that when things start to boil over, diplomacy can be good.

(57:55):
I've been in some pretty shaky situations, and I've also
been in places where you've got to get the out.
But here's the thing about having a small footprint. I
can move and I can go fast. So if I
need to get out, I'm only one person. I'm not
twenty five people, and sometimes the idea of twenty five
people is security, but it's also attention.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
It is said that what you just said, no scurity,
that's been dealing what you doing?

Speaker 3 (58:22):
Knockers like women be chasing you down, wanting to know
it's different, it's different.

Speaker 7 (58:28):
Women shown that.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
Again that women be wanting to stalk you and wanting
to suffer. Wow, you know what I heard? That means
the phrase the phrase it's such a phrase is cool.

Speaker 7 (58:49):
But they act said which was not not that great.

Speaker 15 (58:52):
But you know, I don't have those issues if I'm
really honest, you know, I mean not really now. I
mean apart from the how on those the guys that
want the signatures and all of that, that's one thing
I have security just because I think it's safer. I
don't have the temperament to do the diplomacy thing every time,
and rather than do that, I just have Jama just
be like not today, gents, And that's just easier for me.

Speaker 7 (59:14):

Speaker 15 (59:15):
I understand, like John getting out of the car, in
my temperament, that might end up in the altercation, right,
And usually people get threatened if you try to approach him,
you know what I'm saying. So I don't really go
for that. I understand why he does it, and it works.
He's nimbles gets it and gets out.

Speaker 7 (59:30):
But I prefer to go.

Speaker 15 (59:32):
You have a question, okay, I mean, what's your question?
My question is how comes I'm not on the wall?
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (59:38):
Exactly?

Speaker 7 (59:39):
Where's the wire on the wall?

Speaker 4 (59:41):
Well, the radio station.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
And people that actually been on the show that we interview.

Speaker 7 (59:50):
I've been on the show.

Speaker 10 (59:51):
Exactly talking about earlier.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
He just clapped heads of State that video July second,
just elbow John, thank you someone for joining us.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
It's okay, we appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful environment
on a sometimes repetitive schedule of promotion. This is a conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:00:14):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Good morning. Now, let's get to the latest.

Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
With Lauren Lng becoming a straight fast.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
She gets them.

Speaker 10 (01:00:22):
Somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 9 (01:00:25):
I'm a lone girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
She'd be having the Latest on the.

Speaker 16 (01:00:30):
Lawn.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
The Latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
The Latest on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 9 (01:00:38):
So it mentioned previously.

Speaker 21 (01:00:41):
Christian Colmb's Diddy Son Drop new music produced by Kanye West.
It is a project called never Stop. We have a
few songs off of the project. Let's take let's take
a listen to Diddy Free.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I disagree with the title of the album. It's called
Devil Stop. You should know when to stop, okay, and
now is the time to stop. Your daddy is on
trial fighting for his life, and you using that for marketing,
didn't he He didn't learn from the last time when
he did that free start talking about the house.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
But that aside.

Speaker 6 (01:01:10):
The beat go crazy, but I could hear somebody else
on it, like I don't know, baby boy rap like
you know, like he not really confident yet. Baby Boy
had a commanding voice, like oh yeah, like this because
that that beat you post, I can hear yay on that.
That's that's the beat you.

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
Like, go in like you perform on.

Speaker 7 (01:01:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
I mean you know what he raps like somebody who
grew up around rap his whole life and wanted to
be in it. But he don't really got it and
he always just seems like he drops things at the
wrong time.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
And that was the wrong time. They just did closing
arguments yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
It don't sound as bad as y'all say.

Speaker 6 (01:01:47):
But no, no, no, no, no, no, I actually just said, yeah,
big up the beat and all of that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
But I just I just feel like, I just it's
bad timing. I wouldn't put it out.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
I ain't say it was bad. I ain't saying it
was good either. I'm just saying it's just the record,
and like, yeah, it's just terror time. And nobody wants
to hear that from him right now.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
Yeah, and he on the witnesses everything they're gonna learn.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
Yeah, he clearly didn't learn the last time. He literally
told you and told y'all hit the wrong house.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Okay. I would waited, okay, at least a week.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
I ain't gonna lie like that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
One man fought on that record, you know, don't.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
Fought on it that. I don't want to fight like that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
I did like that can't stop, won't stop record that
black though back then, Oh yeah that was that was.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
I don't I don't think it's that bad. I just
think it's it's bad timing. Right, you got these witnesses,
you got everybody, And I get it because that's his pops.
So he wants to defend his pops. He wants to
go out of all the people that he's probably seen
at is you know that his pops and help and
now they turned his back on them. But I just
think it's bad timing that right now.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Wait wait a week, because be over, wait a year,
like let your daddy figure out what weeks because it'd
be over in a week.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
This course the court case over the.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Man figure out what's gonna happen with your pops.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
And I was like, this way, it was weird to
be using this as marketing because that's what he's doing.
He's using this whole situation as marketing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
That's wha uh I mean?

Speaker 9 (01:03:07):
Or is it whack?

Speaker 21 (01:03:08):
Or is it just him expressing itself because we're gonna
move on from this because I do want to get
to the second story. But he also has a song
on this uh this project about his mom and missing
his mom too, so it's not just about his dad,
but he's going through that in real time.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
He was using this, this the whole case, that's marketing
to sell an album. But but what else.

Speaker 9 (01:03:23):
Is he going to talk about right now?

Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
And then there's more so I was saying, is this
a little bit that we heard?

Speaker 6 (01:03:27):
It's more so on him saying like the family, like
y'all don't turn y'all back on us now, it's not
really like subjected to only his dad is literally him.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
He talking about him and his siblings.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
He can tweet that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
Yeah, yeah, well right. But I do like the last
record though, But what you say, Lauren.

Speaker 21 (01:03:43):
I was saying, I wanted to get to this Tea
Pain story, so completely separate than all the Diddy stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:03:49):
But so yesterday there was an interview that went viral.

Speaker 21 (01:03:52):
This interview was actually from eight days ago on the
Crash Dummies podcast. T Pain was speaking on Drake on
the podcast and on viral Let's say a listen.

Speaker 26 (01:04:00):
One thing I learned from Drake was one thing he
hasn't followed his own words. Drake said, I want to
be one of the people that gracefully bow out and
not get kicked out. I have ever since said, I
see y'all want I dropped, don't worry about it, and
I just drop.

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
Let me know if you heard it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Drake is like, no, listen, okay, I got another one.

Speaker 7 (01:04:16):
I'll check this out.

Speaker 10 (01:04:17):
Check this out.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
Y'all ain't like that one?

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Okay, real quick, just one more, let me try one more.

Speaker 26 (01:04:22):
And then he's the person that he said, you know
he didn't want to be and I learned that from him.
Like when he said that I want to gracefully by
not get kicked out, I was like, you know what,
I'm out this mother.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
I'm trying to impress y'all.

Speaker 7 (01:04:40):
I live or die.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
I'm done.

Speaker 26 (01:04:42):
I did everything that I'm trying to do. I'll changed
the game. I made a sound.

Speaker 21 (01:04:46):
What else Now, this one viralom though it was an
eight day old uh interview, because Drake actually commented in
the comments of a blog that reposted this interview and said,
this guy always this guy's always had resentment for you
can hear it every time he speaks on my name.
So of course then blogs went and picked up Drink's comment.
And I didn't even know that there was like a

(01:05:08):
little TIF tiff between the two of them.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
I had no clue.

Speaker 5 (01:05:11):
It's not I had no just responding to me whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Yeah, but I would feel a way too Drink is
not over, like he just had a number one record.

Speaker 21 (01:05:19):
Well, to add more context, if you watch the full interview,
he wasn't necessarily trying to say well maybe he was
more so talking about knowing when it's your time to
kind of like take a step back. And he said
he learned his lesson with that. Let's take a listen
to a t pain on dropping albums now.

Speaker 26 (01:05:35):
I'm not saying that I'm gonna stop making music, but
album the album process is not my favorite anymore. I
will drop singles, i will drop albums. I'm not going
to promote it. I'm not gonna sit there and try
to convince you. If you want to hear it, I'll
tell you where to go get it. But I'm not
doing the process.

Speaker 4 (01:05:50):
Of showing up at the breakfast.

Speaker 26 (01:05:52):
FuG Me and Scharlamagne and had our quarrels already. We done,
did our things already, and we have respect for each Now.
We know that we respect the game, but we know
that is not worth it. We've done years and years
and years of this work and then your album could
be shut down by one meme. I'm not willing to
put my mental health at risk for that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:14):
Yeah, I absolutely agree.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
Yeah, Drake not done. Everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
Everybody eventually gets to the point where you're not as
hot as you was, but Drake will always have a
core base defeat I think.

Speaker 21 (01:06:24):
More I was leaning into how some people felt like
Drake should have took it second and not released so
much music after all the Kendrick stuff and let things
because people were gonna come for you either way. I
agree with that, That's how I took it, But that
isn't what he said. So I can understand my Drake
was upset.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
But what you do the TP What I do to
t Pa?

Speaker 9 (01:06:39):
Yes, I ain't doing nothing to.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
That's my guy, pay him in a pay a bunch
of times. But I would say the thing with Drake
has had big records in the last two years after
the whole Kendrick beef, So I don't know why people
think Drake's career is over. Your kid is still a
big record that plays big in the clubs. We played
a year and what a year ago? Two years ago
we played the Drake and Sizzle. That was another record
like he's had records Draking, like he's had records.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
On the charts. Back back in the day, I did
tell t Pain that he couldn't sing without auto them.

Speaker 21 (01:07:07):
We have the audio of not the back in the day,
but him recounting the encounter with you. Let's listen to
Tea Pain speaking on Charlemagne.

Speaker 7 (01:07:14):
You know when Kanye went to Breakfast Club to Charlamagne
was like.

Speaker 4 (01:07:18):
Jesus was whack to his face. I didn't like that
at all. And I was a Kanye West fan, but
Jesus was white to me.

Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Yeah, that's great, that's great.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Got out of that though. That was like his thing.

Speaker 26 (01:07:31):
The first time I met Charlotte Man, He's roasted the
out of me brand new artists. I didn't know how
to respond to that. I responded with pure violence, like, bro,
what is your problem? You want to get like, what's
her problem? I was like, bro, who do you think
you are? Like Charlamage the god when I talked to
the streets listen like on a radio station or something
like you gotta stop doing Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
That literally sounds like something that chelam Haynes was said.
And he'll say, I talked the streets to listen, and
when I talked to.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
He said, Charlamagne changed for five minutes before he just farted.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
On some bars. But you know, so crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
T Paint also said that that time he came to
South Carolina made him take singing more seriously, and he
stopped smoking and everything else to take his vocals more seriously.

Speaker 9 (01:08:23):
You will make somebody take some serious.

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
Actually can sing without auto tune.

Speaker 5 (01:08:29):
It was just something that he was doing.

Speaker 6 (01:08:31):
But he did, I think, invent the trend of that
sound being cool.

Speaker 4 (01:08:36):
Yeah, because back then he couldn't sing without it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Yeah yeah, I mean, but you know that for sure
that he didn't want to miss style.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
You know line that's when Pat had one record it
was it was scrippled, scripple.

Speaker 6 (01:08:50):
And he's still never missed. So shout out to him, phenomenal.
Shout out to Drake too. But I didn't even think
what Sea Paint said about Drake was like saying like.

Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
His career is over.

Speaker 6 (01:09:03):
I just took it as like he was talking about
the beef side of it, like bow wow, Gracefully. I
didn't even think about him saying that. I didn't took
it like you've saying Drake's careers over.

Speaker 21 (01:09:13):
Drake seemingly took it like that in his comment, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
We gotta we gotta go, guys. All right, but that's
the latest. That's the latest with Laura. When we come up,
we got Donkey of the day, the People's donkey.

we had to get her some clinical help. And so
until that point, we never looked at her phone or
like any of her devices because were very, very sort

(01:16:32):
of privacy sensitive. And I remember we dropped her off
just about two years ago, came back home. They wouldn't
let her keep telephones inside this facility. So that's the
first time I actually looked at her phone, and when
I did, I was stunned. I just you know, I
was like, wow, Like there's so much going on with
the kid that we had no idea.

Speaker 11 (01:16:50):
You guys have teenagers, Yes, yes you do, and I
know that. And when you were growing up, your parents
would be sitting across from you at a dinner table
and they actually knew where you were, who you were with,
and what you were doing, and with that they were
able to shepherd you. Today, your kids, your teenagers, are

(01:17:12):
sitting across the table from you on this device, and
you cannot answer those questions. And you know, we The
analogy I'd like to make about this because it just
feels like an easy one to relate to, which is
is that when your kids are ready to there are
of age to be able to drive, what do you do.

Speaker 24 (01:17:31):
You get a learner's permit, You.

Speaker 11 (01:17:33):
Take them out to a Walmart parking lot, do any damage, right,
and you start to teach them and they get and
they then get a permit that allows them to drive
only with an adult only during the day, and over
the course of a two year, three year period of time,
they get to a place where they're safe.

Speaker 24 (01:17:53):
And so the.

Speaker 11 (01:17:55):
Online world is one hundred x more dangerous, believe it
or not than driving in a car. And I want
to just share with you some statistics which is to
give you how challenging and how problematic this is. So
before Harry released this brand new.

Speaker 24 (01:18:11):
Products, only about six or eight weeks that it's been out.

Speaker 11 (01:18:14):
At twenty five hundred teenagers thirteen to eighteen years old,
forty six percent of them are depressed, thirty five percent
with social with draw, twenty two percent are up at
night on scrolling when you think they're sleeping, thirty percent
with low self esteem, twenty two percent with self harmed
suicidal thoughts, and fifty two.

Speaker 24 (01:18:36):
Percent have eating issues.

Speaker 11 (01:18:39):
So again I asked you, as parents with teenagers, what
do you know today? What insight do you actually have?
What tools do you have to be able to onboard
them into this world. There's a lot of great stuff
around social media. There's a lot of reasons why you
do want them on there, but you don't let a
kid in a car today on board, and even when

(01:19:01):
they are on board, you make them wear a sheap
safety belt, you know.

Speaker 24 (01:19:06):
And that's what I'm.

Speaker 11 (01:19:06):
So proud of Hari and what he and his team
have builtier our tools for you as a parent without
spine on your kids, but being able to observe and
therefore coach them as they get older out.

Speaker 24 (01:19:21):
Into this world.

Speaker 6 (01:19:22):
I actually definitely resonate with you when you said somebody
had bought a mortgage in your name. That happened to
me before years ago, right before I bought my house,
Like before I actually bought my first house, I had
realized that, you know, identity that was committed, you know,
and people I had a car.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
I had never driven a car, mortgages and everything.

Speaker 6 (01:19:44):
And then what you just said my son, I realized
I didn't know too much about who he was during
the pandemic, right because we had to be inside with
our children and going through his phone. Think similar to
what you just attested to about your daughter. Like I
literally was like, Wow, I don't know what this kid likes.

(01:20:06):
I don't because I'm just assuming he likes what I like,
or I'm just I'm not really.

Speaker 5 (01:20:10):
In his phone.

Speaker 6 (01:20:11):
He realizing that not even realizing that technology is like
helping me raise him, and that's not how I want
it to be.

Speaker 5 (01:20:19):
What exactly does Aura do?

Speaker 7 (01:20:21):
Like?

Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
What what type of.

Speaker 11 (01:20:24):
Questions he'll tell you?

Speaker 4 (01:20:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 27 (01:20:25):
Look, I mean I think you hit on something that
that I really didn't have a sense of until we
went through this experience. And I think we think the
truth is in real life, like in physical world, but
for a lot of these kids, they're on their devices
eight hours a day, so the truth's actually on the phone,
like and I, you know, and I think it's a
blind spot, like we have no idea what's actually happening there.
So really the questions as we were going, as I

(01:20:47):
was going through this experience personally, that that that were
on my mind were the first one was is my
kid safe? You know, are they like you know, whether
it's sort of like you know, scary things online or
just mentally and emotionally are they safe? The second, well,
they're spending eight hours on these devices, what are they
actually doing on these devices? And can I as a
parent do anything about it? Those sort of the three
things we set out to go try to help parents with.

(01:21:10):
But we took a very clinical approach to this because
it's just sort of an area where in some ways
you're sort of in the kid's head now, right, and
so you want to be really thoughtful about how you
actually build this product. So we went hired a bunch
of clinicians, We hired psychologists, psychiatrist, We partnered up with
the Bostrom's Hospital because.

Speaker 7 (01:21:28):
They had a lot of awareness around this.

Speaker 27 (01:21:30):
So what we came up with was a system that
based on everything from something as simple as how quickly
they're typing on their phone to haptics, you know, how
hard they're pressing the keys, to what apps are they using?
To sort of patterns of sleep irrerregularity because they pick
up their phone when they're not sleeping, so we can
tell that. So we took all these things and came

(01:21:51):
up with a system that, you know, look at markers
for everything from hey, is my kid doing okay?

Speaker 7 (01:21:58):
Are they anxious? Are they stressed out?

Speaker 16 (01:22:00):
Uh?

Speaker 27 (01:22:00):
You know, what's their social behavioral patterns?

Speaker 11 (01:22:02):
So this is what is actually made possible, right, Yeah,
So when we talk about the things about innovation that
are going on and the positive things around AI, this
has got to be near the top of it because
without these tools, which didn't exist literally two years ago,
this was not possible.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
We have more with Jeffrey Katzenberg and Harry Rever Condre
when we come back is the Breakfast Club, Good Morning Wanting,
everybody is the DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamage, the guy
we Are the Breakfast Club, Laura ros is here and
we're still kicking it with Jeffrey Katzenberg and Harvey Robert Condren, Charlamage.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Jeffrey Man you have. I mean, you were a super
big dog at Disney. Like I said earlier, you ushered
in what they called a Disney renaissance. Like, what was
the what was the boldest decision you made during that
era that could have gone either way?

Speaker 11 (01:22:49):
Well, I you know, I think the boldest decision, which
was a decision that you know, really Michael Eisner and
you know who is a CEO of the Do a
Whole company at the time, made was that animation had
been the heart and soul of the Walt Disney Company,

(01:23:10):
even though it had declined to a point in nineteen
eighty four, which is if you sort of look at
the peak in the valley of Disney animation that that
was the floor. It was really pretty grim. And Michael
was the one that just said, we cannot thrive as
a company if we don't reinvent, reinvigorate animation. My first

(01:23:34):
day at work, you know, I went in and sat
with him and I had my list of the things
to do, and we went through it and he went, great,
those are all good priorities and you know, movies and
touchdone and all these different you know things television. And
I was at one foot out the door and he said, Jeffrey,
one last thing before you leave.

Speaker 24 (01:23:51):
He said, what's that? And he said, come over here.
I want to show you something. And he was in
this corner.

Speaker 11 (01:23:54):
At Walt Disney's old office and he said, look out there.
He said, you see that building across the way there
on the Disney lot. I said yeah, and he says,
you know what they do there? And I went no,
I have no ideas. And well that's where they make
the animated movies. And I said, oh, that's nice. He
said yes, and it's now your problem. And that was
my introduction to animation. Now, the beauty of it is

(01:24:15):
is that Walt Disney had this amazing archive of all
of his work and his work product, of how he
made each and ever going back to snow White, all
of the processes, and all of his thinking and insights
about it.

Speaker 24 (01:24:29):
And so I learned of.

Speaker 11 (01:24:31):
These archives, and with a group of people that were
there at the studio, really sort of educated me to
the Disney way.

Speaker 24 (01:24:40):
And when I think of the.

Speaker 11 (01:24:42):
Things that were the sort of the tent poles of
the sort of rebuilding Disney animation all goes back to
Walt so here a handful of things that I just
learned immediately stayed with me every day.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
He said, we make.

Speaker 11 (01:24:57):
Movies for children, and the child in each of us. Wow,
Now could there be anything more pure and simple and
a north Star? So that little saying was on my
desk and every day that's the first thought of the day.

Speaker 24 (01:25:13):
What are we doing? What is our purpose here in this?

Speaker 11 (01:25:15):
What are are we doing in terms of the the
you know, goal of our of our content here? He said,
My movies are only as good as their villains.

Speaker 24 (01:25:25):
So now let.

Speaker 11 (01:25:27):
Me share with you the villains for me Ursula ja'far Scar,
Gaston far quad Tylong. I can go through all the
movies that I've made animated movies in my career. We
always had great villains.

Speaker 20 (01:25:47):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:25:47):
I could go on and give you more of those.
But he had these amazing, amazing insights of just great storytelling,
and and then there were things that were just pure,
you know, fortuitous luck. David Geffen introduced me to Howard
Ashman and Alan Mankin who had done Little Shop of Horrors.

Speaker 5 (01:26:07):
And that was like one of my favorite movies.

Speaker 11 (01:26:10):
Well, Howard and Allen really became like our guardian angels
of like, how do you make movies that are musicals again?
Because as an art form that had been forgotten, uh
for for much of Hollywood, and for sure I think
at Disney and so you know, in the world of things,
if you had to pick between lucky uh and smart

(01:26:31):
kick lucky every.

Speaker 3 (01:26:33):
Time, I always felt like there was a deeper intention
in Disney movies. Like when you watch a movie like
The Lion King, always felt like, you know, that was
telling actually to me the plight of a black person
in America, you know, being taken from a land they know,
being brought to a land they don't know, not knowing
the language, not knowing what to eat, being taught by

(01:26:53):
the moment in Poomball. Who could have been looking at
that as infuriated him like that?

Speaker 11 (01:26:57):
With that, Well, there really were two stories at work there.
One was Shakespeare. It's called Hamlet, so let's give uh
you know as much do as we can. The other
is an experience that happened to me very early in
my life. It's the specifics are not as important as
the lesson that I learned.

Speaker 5 (01:27:20):
Nearly.

Speaker 10 (01:27:21):
But what I learned.

Speaker 11 (01:27:23):
Is is that you cannot run from the truth in life,
like the truth will find you ultimately no matter how
far you run. And so the way that was realized,
it's not how it happened to me in my life,
but because these are fables, they're not they're not they're
not literal. But the way we realized that in the movie,

(01:27:46):
and it was the thing about the movie that was
most personal to me, is is that.

Speaker 24 (01:27:51):
Simba believes he was.

Speaker 11 (01:27:52):
Responsible for the death of his father, which we know
he was not. He was set up by scar But
that's what you that's his impression point of view is,
oh my gosh, I did this irresponsible thing and my
father died as a result of it.

Speaker 24 (01:28:05):
And what does he do.

Speaker 11 (01:28:06):
He runs and he runs and he runs and he runs,
and no matter how far or how long he runs,
it haunts him.

Speaker 24 (01:28:15):
He cannot escape that truth.

Speaker 11 (01:28:17):
And the only thing that frees him, wow, is when
he returns home and faces his truth, which is his family,
and is you know, Nala helps them, you know, sort
of come back and face his truth. And so Walt
Disney always again said that you know, my movies are

(01:28:38):
and these were not his literal words are opportunities for
learning lessons, and so he embedded in every single film.

Speaker 24 (01:28:47):
We tried to do the same.

Speaker 11 (01:28:49):
Just great life lessons that you could see through these
animated cartoons done in a way that you know was
a very kid and mom and family, friend and late
that are just hard lessons that are important to learn.
And every one of these movies has something fundamental.

Speaker 24 (01:29:08):
At the at the core of them. You know there
is a message.

Speaker 11 (01:29:11):
It is with intent that he you know, he would
do it. Sam Goldwin had this great saying in the
live action movies, which is, you know, if you want
to deliver a message called Western Union. Now I know
today nobody listening to the show actually has any clue
what Western Union is.

Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
And that was on the other side. I was sending
people money and Jail I was.

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
Oh yeah, because he said, friends, yes, hey, man, tell
them how can you you know, I guess download or
like what yeap?

I like that, and I just love seeing people reclaim
country music.

Speaker 4 (01:30:53):
Like maybe we never let it go.

Speaker 3 (01:30:54):
That's why you should read Alice Randalls My Black Country,
The Past, Present and Future of Country Music for Black
People's past, president future in country music, great history.

Speaker 4 (01:31:03):
Lesson than that.

Speaker 28 (01:31:03):
Bo Okay, maybe we never let it go. But it's
becoming more mainstream again country for black people.

Speaker 10 (01:31:08):
Oh oh, who's who?

Speaker 28 (01:31:11):
What popular black person was doing country music before renaissance.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
It's a bunch of them, but I just don't want
to just don't. I can't remember, I can't remember. You
ain't got what called it?

Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
But yeah, there's quite a few.

Speaker 28 (01:31:21):
Okay, Okay, Well, next let's get into it. So Little
dropped the rap album. Have you guys seen it. Yeah,
she's been like going doing like parties and rapping her
her verses leading up to it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
Okay, I've been seeing a little things she'd been doing online. Well, yes,
Well the full rap album is out.

Speaker 28 (01:31:40):
She had a song on there with Scizza called in
Real Life and I actually like it because it's giving
like affirmation.

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
When you say rap is she doing? Balls are more
like you know, chanting Little Johnnys.

Speaker 28 (01:31:52):
She the part that played actually wasn't the part that
I had in mind when I when I said affirmations.
That was more like cook into Scissor's part. But yeah,
she is rapping, like actually rapping.

Speaker 4 (01:32:03):
It sounds bad.

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
I like to hit the whole record, yeah, Like I
don't like hearing clean records on the radio when when
it's all dirty like that, I just can't get it.

Speaker 4 (01:32:11):
Honestly.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
I want to hear that big extra plug with God
Damn Shaboozie again. I'm about to turn that on in
the car.

Speaker 4 (01:32:15):
You hear me, look at you?

Speaker 10 (01:32:16):
I love that. Okay.

Speaker 28 (01:32:20):
I want to get into this Rory record called Bona Fide,
and they've been describing this as like a spiritual knock
if you buck.

Speaker 3 (01:32:26):
I feel God and knock if you buck way more
than not doing that record. So I don't you called
it a spiritual nug If you buck, why.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
They save your bread and it's it's a little it
sounds noisy.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
First of all, nuck if you buck is a spiritual.
It is a negro spiritual. When the devil bucks, God knucks.
Can I get an amen? Okay, save your bread.

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
Talk very positivity in this song, but it sounds very
it sounds noisy.

Speaker 4 (01:32:46):
I feel God and knock if you buck way more.

Speaker 5 (01:32:47):
Than that record right there and bucking fight.

Speaker 4 (01:32:51):
You're talking about the devil. You don't be fighting the devil.

Speaker 28 (01:32:53):
You don't every day to fight the devil, day to
fight the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:32:59):
That whole song is a about fighting the devil and
fighting negativity.

Speaker 28 (01:33:02):
This is not about fighting the devil. I don't trying
to dissect the lyrics, like that's.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
Why you compared that record. If you because you feel God.

Speaker 28 (01:33:13):
Anyway, bonfire check that out, bonfire.

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
Okay, it sounds noisy and confusing. The devil is anon.

Speaker 28 (01:33:24):
I wanted to get into this Rick Ross faro one
just because it was a combination that I wasn't expected.
But I actually really like this. While they joint called
where to Start tough, I think we.

Speaker 1 (01:33:33):
Played this a couple days ago.

Speaker 4 (01:33:34):
This is tough. It sound a little incomplete though, Why
the hook sounds like that? Why it's not air? It's
a sample?

Speaker 9 (01:33:39):
Yeah, it's a sample.

Speaker 28 (01:33:39):
But also I think Aria is like the new sound
really yeah, Like I know in the pop world it's
called bedroom pop, so I think they're doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
Musical something like that in my bedroom music. My bedroom
sounds very clear. I got a great sound system. But
that is a tough record. It's a very tough to
don't be.

Speaker 10 (01:33:54):
Missing it, really, don't.

Speaker 28 (01:33:56):
I love when he does popular nineties samples, and I
love when new rappers do and do it well.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
But the problem is whatever label he signed to ain't
gonna put a bag behind the record, and so the
record ain't gonna go is he signed?

Speaker 28 (01:34:07):
Yeah, he signed the deaf.
