Speaker 1 (01:54):
She was her ex fiance was a CEO YEP used
to abuse her and used to basically just use his
power as a police officer to get away with abusing her.
And then he ultimately shot her ten times while she
was five months pregnant, and she survived, and she told
the story. She never told the story until recently. And
then she decided to become NYPD police officer. And she's

It don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning morning.
Everybody is dj n G, Jess hilarious, Charlamage, the God.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
We are the breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Let's get in some front page news now, just some
quick sports. And I'm tired of talking about it. But
the NYPD is looking for a man they say threw
a sex toy at a w NBA game and hit
a preteen girl with it.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Sex crime.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I don't know if it is not, but it sounds
like god damage.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
You said you throw it, nil doing it hit a
preteen that's the sex crime.

Speaker 7 (03:30):
Damn it.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
But you're at the game.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yeah, I guess he threw it at the game. That's
that's the only information that they give me. It says
additional stories. The NYPD is looking for a man they
say through a sex toy hit a preteen.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Stupid that couldn't even reach the court. Terrible last seats
he stupid. What's up Morgan?

Speaker 9 (03:46):
Hey y'all, Hey, how are you feeling on this Tuesday?
All right, let's get into it. So first off front page,
of course, if you missed it, President Trump is cracking
down on crime in the nation's capital of Washington, d C.
He activated the National Guard to so called help local
law enforcement as part of his plan, and went on
to say that they will be allowed to do their
job properly now. President went on to claim crime numbers

(04:09):
in DC are worse than places like Baghdad and Columbia
Bogata or Bogota, Columbia, excuse me, and he made those
comments while speaking from the White House Press briefing room.

Speaker 10 (04:17):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 11 (04:19):
Under the authorities vested in me as the President of
the United States, I'm officially invoking Section seventy forty of
the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what
that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under
direct federal control. Our capital city has been overtaken by
violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth

(04:42):
drugged out maniacs and homeless people.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Now, I'm not really a stat guy because I feel
like sometimes numbers lie. But how could you make claims
about a city being worse than those other countries if
the numbers don't add up.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, the thing is it's not true.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
They saying violent crime is now twenty six percent from
the same time last year, down fifty one percent from
this time in twenty twenty three, and down thirty five
percent from twenty nineteen. They say carl jackins are down
thirty seven percent compared to last year and down sixty
nine percent compared to twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, I'm not I'm not disagreeing with any of that.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I'm just saying, you know, we had those same discussions
here in New York when they was trying to tell
us the numbers.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
That we're down.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
So that's what I'm saying. So I'm wondering this, how
can you make those claims, you know, about other countries
when people just dismissed the numbers.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I guess you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (05:30):
Absolutely.

Speaker 12 (05:31):
So.

Speaker 9 (05:31):
Meanwhile, d c's mayor, who you know you mentioned MVS
called you. She's reacting to the news of President Trump's
crimes numbers. The Democratic mayor Mario Bowser spoke out after
Trump placed the d C under federal control and activated
the National Guard as part of his major crackdown on crime.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Now.

Speaker 9 (05:49):
Bowser thinks Trump's current view on crime in DC is
shaped by rising crime rates during his first term, but
she says crime has dropped since since then, since his
first she also took the opportunity to advocate for DC's statehood.

Speaker 10 (06:03):
Let's take a listen to her comments.

Speaker 13 (06:05):
And while this action today is unsettlingly and unprecedented, I
can't say that given some of the rhetoric of the past,
that were totally surprised. That is why you have heard
me and many many Washingtonians before me, advocate for full

(06:25):
statehood for the District of Columbia. Chief Pamela Smith is
the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Speaker 9 (06:34):
Oh yes, She went on to reiterate also that Chief
Police Chief Pamela Smith is in charge. But she also
said that she is cooperating with the Trump administration. So
hopefully we'll get a chance to speak to her and
see how she actually feels about all of this. Since
things are starting to settle in it and just switching gears.
Actually it's still related to the president, but it's not

(06:55):
so much along DC. But the Trump administration also said
that they are looking at reclassify marijuana as a less
dangerous drug. President Trump said this during his news conference yesterday,
as well that he estimates his administration will make the
determination over the next few weeks. Marijuana has been a
Schedule one drug since nineteen seventy one, you know, along
the lines with other drugs like fence and heroin.

Speaker 10 (07:19):
But the Trump Trump's potential.

Speaker 9 (07:20):
Potential reclassifate reclassification would continue efforts started by the Biden
administration to make marijuana as Schedule three drug, which basically
means there are some health benefits to it. A Schedule
three designation wouldn't legalize marijuana, but it would make it
would lessen the criminal penalties surrounding it. If it's not
legal for recreational use in your state.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
That's better. That's a step towards legalization, but just legalize
how on the federal level.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's so confusing what states are llegal, what states is
not lay legal, And it's it's so many states that
you can do it, and you can do it. Medicinal
in all states. So, like you said, just legalize.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
It all on a federal level, because you know what happens.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
You called people to practice bad because if you're from
like a New York and New Jersey of California and
you used to it being legal, you'll be in one
of these stages down south where it's not legal, not
even thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Get your assned. Next thing you know, you locked the
hell up.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, yeah, seriously, what makes people care about stories?

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Like that, Like I like minding other people's business too,
But what about that story excite you? Like you really
think you're gonna meet a BILLIONAI one day, they're gonna
give you a five million dollars rings? Seriously, people believe
that the story.

Speaker 17 (17:49):
Yeah, I think it's that, But I also think they've
been together for some time. They have kids together. You
see pictures of them, five kids together. Yes, okay, did
you see the real story?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
The real story he finally proposed to her after five kids.
While they were black.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
They'd be calling them ghetto and saying about times about time.

Speaker 8 (18:07):
Eight nine years to five kids eight nine years.

Speaker 17 (18:09):
But yeah, I think people just date into his business
because he's one of the most famous people in the
soccer world.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Like him.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
What is it Messy after him?

Speaker 7 (18:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Probably mess Yeah.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
I think people just interested because of him.

Speaker 17 (18:19):
But also I think it is the kids, the time,
and the crazy huge ring.

Speaker 8 (18:23):
I think that's what we got.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
The people going, we don't know what else we got.

Speaker 8 (18:27):
Y'all hate him, don't.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't even know him.

Speaker 8 (18:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I do know MESSI when you mentioned MESSI, I do
know him. But okay, congratulations, I just don't care. No, yeah,
I don't.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
Okay, he's worth a billionairest You say it's inspiration, like
it's it's not it was the last time he met
a billionaire, Like it's a bunch of those just walking jos.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
I don't think it's that. I think people the same
reason why people care about some general we do know billionaires, niggas,
we know.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
No all right, hell not yet anyway, switching.

Speaker 17 (19:06):
Gears to something that you guys will probably care a
lot more about our Lennox. So I wanted to get
into the story yesterday, but we ran out of the time.
In the latest so Ari Lennox, remember we talked about
her and her feelings on Martin. Baby girl came back
out to stand on business to tell people she doesn't
care what y'all think. Let's take a listen to our
Lenox responding to all of them Martin height.

Speaker 16 (19:26):
If I had ill intent, I would have came on
here with a PowerPoint presentation that backs my claims on
the types of jokes Martin used on Pam being wildly offensive.
That will never be my intent or motive. But I
will stand on Business forever knowing them jokes was wild,
and I don't say any of this with any desire
to rewrite history. Those actors and actresses are legends and

(19:49):
I met no harm to them. I don't need any
army of people defending me or agreeing with me. That
has always been a rare occurrence for me. But I
feel amazing and knowing that I will value date myself
and my feelings before I look to you for yours.
I never was a fan of roasting period, as I
am very sensitive and I will for sure drag somebody

(20:11):
to hell every time.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's a contradiction.

Speaker 17 (20:16):
Yeah, Basically, well, I think what she's trying to say
is is that, well I watched it, she would live to.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Say you're a fan of roasting, but no, you say
you're not, but then say you would. That's a contradiction.

Speaker 17 (20:29):
Yeah, But what she was trying to say was because
in the beginning she talked about like just people coming
from her because she has an opinion, and she said
everybody follows what.

Speaker 8 (20:35):
The masters are saying online.

Speaker 17 (20:37):
So she's always going to defend herself because she feels
like she's a sheep, she has her own opinion.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
People are always mad at her.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Face like she's a sheep.

Speaker 17 (20:43):
Like basically she's she's outside of like a unicorn, she's
outside of I mean, she's not a sheep. Sorry, she
said that everybody else my mind were sheets and she
said that basically, like she it's getting to the point
where she's getting used to having to do this, like
defend herself and go back at people, because she's not
going to stop saying how she feels because other peop.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Don't believing that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Right, But when you say it online, you have to
be prepared for different people to agree and disagree, and
and then you got to prepare to drag them back,
you know what I mean. So you are ultimately doing
the same thing that you hate.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
I believe that when you express your opinion publicly, we
the public have the right to disagree. We the public
have the right to say you tripping, it's okay. That's
what I never understand.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
You can give your opinion that could traumatize you and can,
but we have our opinion on what you saying. Like
you know, I mean, if as long as nobody's being disrespectful,
I mean a lot of people were, but if nobody's
opinions like everybody exactly.

Speaker 17 (21:33):
Yeah, I just didn't think that Martin panm thing was
that deep until she started having conversations about it. But
she also Yeah, she also mentioned in there too, I
don't do we have this yet?

Speaker 8 (21:43):
Non think so right now?

Speaker 17 (21:45):
She also mentioned in there too it was a part
of this was like a line that she had been
watching the Bernie Maxhaw as well, and she didn't appreciate
that either.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
What she did.

Speaker 8 (21:52):
I think it's just she's not a fan of people
being made fun of. It's her point.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Who was making fun of who?

Speaker 2 (21:58):
So how you drag somebody the hell if you know?

Speaker 5 (21:59):
I mean, I think dragon the hell if they come
at her. But obviously she doesn't like people to get
being made fun of because she's been made fun of
for a long time in the industry and that's probably
the way that she feels.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, I get it, but calling out the greatest black
shows that we have right like, that's wild to me.
But what was happening in the Bernie Mackshaw who was
who was roasting people in the Bernie mac show? Martin
was a show like that all about that, But Bernie
Mackshaw was more of a family setting. He was taking
care of his nieces in that field.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
But yeah, but.

Speaker 8 (22:34):
It wasn't even like Martino, you know what I mean.

Speaker 17 (22:39):
I think it's just her thing, Like this is just
how she feels about some of the jokes from that
era and that.

Speaker 8 (22:43):
Yeah, let's take a listen. I don't want to make
sure we get her words.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
In wat.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Oh my goodness. All I know is this, y'all lives
must be really great. If this what the hell y'all
sitting around arguing about. If y'all sitting around complaining about
the Bernie Mack Show and Martin and y'all got time
to get online and express the people, how y'all can
have you all opinions about these shows.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Life must really not be that bad, she.

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Said, hers isn't.

Speaker 17 (23:08):
Because people said that she always does this when she
ain't got nothing to do, because you're no music out,
and she said, no, my life is good.

Speaker 8 (23:13):
She loves her pickup truck, she loves.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Her new music.

Speaker 8 (23:15):
She got vacancy coming out in the fall, and she's good.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
And she'd be outside too. I've seen a couple of
times outside she'd be enjoyed life, and she should.

Speaker 17 (23:22):
She also said the next time she gets back on
is live and have to clear something up. She she
wants to address everything that happened with Dreamville. So that'll
be the next episode of ar Lenox that take.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
It like that.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I like Ari, I like Arian music, but I don't
rather your opinion on Dreamville than Bernie Mackshaw and Martin.

Speaker 17 (23:45):
She says she's gonna gather herself and her thoughts and
she'll come back. So we'll be back with that when
she comes back from DC.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Right, and she from DC.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
I know she lives like in that Maryland area that
I know of. I don't know where she's from.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's why Trump internationals he like Martin was like Donald
Trump is like hell no, I like Martin.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Sender to the National Guard drom Well.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
That is the latest with Lauren and the mayor of
DC will be checking in out in about an hour
or so.

Speaker 2 (24:10):

Speaker 5 (24:15):

Speaker 2 (24:18):

Speaker 5 (24:36):
J En v Ess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. Now all my notes, it just says
additional stories in sports, it says the n y p
D is looking for a man that they said through
a sex toy at a w n B A game.
It didn't make it to the court, but it hit
a pre team girl with its.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Sex crazy and girl either that he had the wacked

Speaker 2 (24:58):
He must have been in the nold belief. How you're

Now you canna get charged with the second crowd.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
That's a matthew. You have dad at the game and
then and the deal don't smack your daughter.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
My goodness, by the way, that.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Should be a free fade that whoever, if I'm sitting
there with my child in the game and she a
preteen and she get hit with the deal though, I

and get a free paid.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Whoever threw deal, don't sticking out my daughter.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Like, come on, man, you've.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Seen that video of that old man that was in
the diner and somebody with the little boy was throwing
food at his wife. He was a little boy. He
probably was a pre teen tour maybe maybe a teenager.
He was showing off with some girls, throwing food at
the old man's wife. Old man, that old man got
up and beat the hell out there, and then somebody
came and broke it up.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
And then when somebody else came over and found out
what the little boy did, he smacking.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
That video.

Speaker 9 (25:52):
What's up, Morgan, y'all, Hey, all right, let's get into it.
So President Trump is signing an executive order to extend
a tear of truth with China for another ninety days.
The truth struck in June during talks between US and
Chinese officials keep US tariffs on most Chinese goods at
fifty five percent. The US is in asking is in

(26:12):
asking Beijing for a commitment to boost exports of rare
earths to the US. So will continue to follow that
and see what happens as a result over the next
ninety days. Elsewhere, Texas State House has once again failed
to reach a quorum after Democrats left the state House
to stop a Republican led redistricting effort. The House has
been trying to reach that quorum since last week. Texas

(26:35):
Republican Governor Greg Abbot says DPS officers are searching in
state for Democrats and working without a state authorities to
see if they can help bring back those Democrats to
the state. Let's take a listen to Texas Governor Greg
Abbot's comments.

Speaker 19 (26:48):
So we're looking for twelve Democrats to make sure we're
going to be able to be able to vote on
these maps as well as to address very important things
such as helping the flood victims. And we are working
with law enforcement, at tech, you other actions in other
parts of the country to see if we can uncover
any Democrats who can be brought back to the state.

Speaker 9 (27:06):
So, Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows he also addressed the
missing Democrats yesterday afternoon, adding that disaster bills will be
brought to the floor today with or without Democrats. President,
let's take a list into Texas House Speaker Dustin.

Speaker 20 (27:19):
Burroughs, you can go to another city, another state, even
another time zone, but you cannot escape your responsibility to
the people of Texas. Eventually, you will be here tomorrow
when the gavel drops. The question is simple, will you
be in that chair to vote for these critical disaster
recovery bills or will you be remembered as one who

(27:40):
did not show up? The choice is yours yes.

Speaker 9 (27:42):
As previously mentioned, the House has been trying to reach
a quorum since last week. The new maps pushed by
President Trump could give the GOP as many as five
more US House seats. Grevinor Abbott has asked the Supreme Court,
the State Supreme Court, to declare the seat of the
House Democratic Caucus chair and as vacant as gen Wu
also left the state to Chicago with the number of

(28:04):
other Democrats.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
So speaking of.

Speaker 10 (28:06):
Chicago, Illinois Governor JB.

Speaker 9 (28:08):
Pritzker, excuse me, is praising Texas Democrats who have filed
the state and protest of redistricting efforts. In an interview
over the weekend with NBC's Meet the Press, the Democratic
governor said, their action, the action that they're taking, is
actually protecting Americans.

Speaker 10 (28:22):
Let's take a listen to Illinois Governor J.

Speaker 15 (28:24):
Pritzker standing up not just for their own constituents and
for the people of Texas and their rights, but also
for the rights of people all across the country. Because
what Greg Abbott is doing, and what Donald Trump is
attempting to do, is to cheat the map that they
put together is it violates the Voting Rights Act and
it violates the Constitution.

Speaker 9 (28:45):
So the FBI has reportedly agreed to help track down
those Democrats as a governor Texas Governor Greg Abbott has
requested and he's also called for their arrest now also
Illinois Governor JB.

Speaker 10 (28:56):
Pritzker.

Speaker 9 (28:57):
He's also spoke about a twenty twenty eight presidential run
or the possibility of one.

Speaker 10 (29:02):
And here's what he had to say when asked about it.

Speaker 15 (29:04):
No matter what decisions I make, and I mean in
particular about what I do here in the state of
Illinois is about the people of Illinois. Indeed, any future
decisions of mind will always be guided by that.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
So the governor also responded to a question about whether
he was being hypocritical for criticizing Texas's redistricting plan when
the vast majority of Illinois congressional districts are democratic. What
Pritzker said that they held public and legislative hearings before
a map was passed at the end of the census,
which is what happens every ten years. While Texas Republicans

(29:38):
are changing the rules mid decade at the request of
President Trump.

Speaker 10 (29:45):
At the request, basically at the request of President Trump.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
So again, the census changes these maps every ten years
because you know, once you guys do the census conduct
the census, some of these congressional districts and maps will
change over every ten years. But they're saying that, you know,
the fact that they're doing at mid decade Texas Republicans
is that's you know, so that they can have that
advantage in that twenty twenty six midterms. So anyways, that's

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Y'all, thank you, thank you, Morgan Morgan. Now, when we
come back, Katrina Browne will be joining us. She's a
retired NYPD detective.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I'm letting y'all know right now, this story is heavy
and this story may trigger you, especially if you have
been a victim of domestic violence. But Katrina Brownlee has
a book out called In and Then Came the Blues,
My story of survival on both sides.

Speaker 7 (30:45):
Of the badge.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
She was being abused by a former correctional officer who
used to use his badge and his power to basically
get away with it.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
The police would never believe her.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
She got shot ten times by this guy while she
was five months pregnant, but she lived to tell the story,
and she'd be an NYPD cop and retired, you know,
recently after serving twenty years. So I'm just letting y'all
know now this story is heavy and triggering for anybody
who's been a victim of domestic violence.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
All right, and we'll get to that next. It's the
Breakfast Club.

Speaker 7 (31:13):
Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
Warning, everybody is DJ n V, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club lor the Roses here as well,
and we got a special guest in the building. She's
a retired NYPD detective, domestic violence survivor and a motivational speaker.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
She has a new book. And then came the Balloons,
My story of survival on both sides of the badge.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have Katrina Browne, how are you?

Speaker 2 (31:43):
I Am Blessed Black and Holly Fred you have a
hell of a story. Where do you want to begin?
Wherever you want to do well?

Speaker 1 (31:52):
The memoir tells the story of you being shot ten
times and overcoming the domestic violence. What hell you find
the courage to not only write this book, but just
to keep fighting for your life and I guess for
your future as well.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Oh gosh. The first thing I say it was God, faith, God, therapy,
and my children. That's what kept me fighting. That's all
I had was nothing else to even look at to say,
you know what I want to fight? Like when you
in survival mode, it's survival. You out there in the wilderness,

(32:30):
all by yourself, and you just trying to figure it
out as you go along.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
The tagline of the book is my story of survival.

Speaker 17 (32:40):
On both sides of the badge talk about, you know,
just the choice to make that the tagline because there
was one point where you were keeping what you were
going through personally, the violenceeer were experiencing in your work
as a police officer.

Speaker 8 (32:52):
Separate badge.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
On both sides of me my life of me being abused,
I wasn't just abused in terms of amestic violence, relationship
and the bucket also speaks about how I was a
child abused, child abuse, sexual abused, So I speak about that,
and then I speak about the fact of me being
a detective, being a police officer. So it's badges on

(33:16):
both sides.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
And your ex fiance was a CEO, correct, and so
he basically used to abuse his power. Correct, put his
hands on you, correct, flash his badge right, and threaten you,
you know, on speaking up right.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
I was the inmate and he was the correction officer
at home.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's how it was. Damn.

Speaker 8 (33:36):
Yeah, that's pretty tough. What was it like for you
day to day at work?

Speaker 17 (33:40):
You know, just with everything that you were experiencing being
able to then deal with other people's issues and showing
up for other people, Like, what was that like mentally
for you?

Speaker 3 (33:48):
It was so heavy for so many years because every
day that you go to work, you never know that
if somebody is going to recognize you or remember your story.
Because a few people did, you know, know my story.
It did make the news because at the time he
was a correction officer. So my name was Katrina Cook

(34:09):
at that time, and so it's Brian Lee. So a
lot of people didn't put two and two together. And
then when my story came out, a lot of people
begin to like reach out to me. So it was
just like a real difficult time just to work, and
especially work in the police department and with how can

(34:34):
I say it, not for but you know, work for
an organization that had failed me. So I went in
with the mindset of that I was going to change
this department and I was going to be this good cop.
But then when you go in, you realize that this
is bigger than you. You ain't changing this. You're going

(34:55):
to follow the rules or deal with the consequence.

Speaker 8 (34:59):
I guess that was my question.

Speaker 17 (35:00):
And like just in everything that you were dealt with
then deciding to go and be a part of a force,
it's like it's it's so much that you can't change,
but you get there to change it, Like, but you're
also still dealing with your own stuff mentally. I just
maybe my question is why, like why did you think
that you could break that system down?

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Because of all the pain that I had went through,
everything that I had endured, Like, who was gonna save me?
They couldn't. They couldn't save me, So I just tried
to save myself.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Gotcha, when you when you would call the police and
you know, he would flash his badge and then the
officers would would would leave.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Did that just make you feel hopeless? Like, how did
you think he was gonna get out of that situation?

Speaker 3 (35:40):
To be honest with you, it was gonna either be
me or him, That's how bad it was getting. And
the only reason what kept me from either killing myself
killing him was my children because I was like, my
kids gonna be motherless and.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I I guess you know, Lauren was was was getting
at this.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
But I guess what I want to ask, how did
that betrayal from the police shape your decision to enter
law enforcement yourself?

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, I wouldn't want to, but I wouldn't want to
be no cop.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Like because you call it a blue wall signs, we
all call it a blue wall, but now you another brick.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
On that wall.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
To try to answer your question, like I said, like
for me, I needed to be able to be protected.
So in order for me to be protected, I had
to that was one of the ways to be protected.
Like I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna because if
I'm a cop, he they didn't give them a long sentence,
So he's coming out, So is he going to come

(36:42):
out and finish the job. But if I'm a cop,
well is he not going to do that? He's not
going to behave that way right? And then my thing
was I want to go in and I want to
be able to shape. I want to clean this place up,
Like I had this mindset because I just believe that
I can go I can change, because I wanted change,

(37:02):
because I could not believe that you would see me
with a black eye, you would see me with a
busted lit and you would just say work it out,
or you wouldn't even you wouldn't even address me. And
I'm standing there, you don't say anything to me. But
because he showed his shield, he had the right to
what's it like?

Speaker 17 (37:23):
Because we hear a lot about like when women are
in these situations, there's this pattern of almost feeling like
sorry for the person that is abusing you were like
just some sort of like savior, like you want to
save them from like whatever the consequence may because you're
trying to figure out like why it's happening or whatever
the case may be. I know he had tried to
call and reach out to you to have you say
he didn't do certain things. Was there ever a moment

(37:44):
where you thought like it would be best for me
to just be quiet about this.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Oh, absolutely, because I because he was a soul Pavada
fire household. So I thought about it. I was like,
now he in jail, like I'm gonna take him myself.
So I became homeless. So I thought about it. But
then I just said to myself, now I'm not doing that,
like I'm not gonna do that, like it's gonna be

(38:09):
it's whatever at this point. And so you know, and
I speak about it in the book, you know how
his mom had written a letter and shot my name
and said that I had shot myself ten times.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
What how difficult is it to have these conversations?

Speaker 1 (38:24):
I mean, because you know when I when I see
your story, and you know, there's certain things I want
to ask. I don't want to trigger you. So how
difficult is it to have these conversations?

Speaker 4 (38:34):
You can ask me whatever?

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Okay, yeah, if this is if this is a safe space,
you can ask me whatever.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yeah, I mean just talking about it, and you know,
you got to relive it because you had to rewrite,
you know, you had to write the book. And then
you know, now you ask me being asked questions. But
you know, you were shot ten times and you were
left for dead while you were five months pregnant. They
said it went it went on for an hour.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
And a half.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
I don't I don't know how long it went on, honestly,
because I was in an hour. I don't know. I
just you know that part was told to me by
the day by the Ada, who now is one of
my good friends.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
Were still kicking it with Katrina Brownly her new book,
and then came The Blues, My story of survival on
both sides of the badge.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Charlamagne, how did you rebuild your identity after all of
this happened, after being homeless, after you know, having to
break down after being shot and left for dead? Like,
how did you just rebuild your identity even become the
detective that you became and you were part.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Of the mayor of security detailers.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, A lot, a lot, a lot of therapy, a
lot of therapy and a lot of God that that
that is what helped me and just the will that
God had given me to just want to live. And
when you get the will to live, then it's that
light on the wall right there up in the ceiling

(39:54):
and you follow that light and you low that light
to continue to go, and that's your strength, and that's
your power, and then you get your power back. And
so that's what it was for me, because that's that's
all I had.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Do you truly forgive somebody when they do something they
hate us to you?

Speaker 3 (40:13):
I had to because I was angry.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
I was so bitter. I was better.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
And when you better at that level, it.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Is some tissue, Brandon.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
When you better at that level, thank you. If you
do not forgive, you become a product of that. And
I just did not want to be that. I was
broken long enough. And in order for you to get
into a situation like that, it had to be a

(40:51):
story that happened.

Speaker 8 (40:53):
We don't.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
We don't wake up and get into these relationships. So
I came from trans generational trauma and that's how I
wind up in a situation where a man shoots me
ten times and abuse me.

Speaker 17 (41:11):
Talk a bit about the chapter until we meet again.
We talk about your mom and you talk about just
you know, how everything that you went through made you
treat just being able to wake up and live every
single day. Why was it important for you to include
that chapter in the book.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
I did not have a relationship with my mother, so
when she died, it was like I got robbed, like
totally robbed, and I will never know what it feels
like to have a mother. So I just felt that
it was important to just speak about that because I

(41:52):
know that I'm not the only one that's out there,
and this book is not just for me. It's for
all people that can be able to relate to my story,
and I just hope that it inspired people. I hope
it can change people life. And I just hope that
even for people that are abuses, that they can go

(42:16):
get help because abuses, they're broken and mental health is real.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
What was the emotional turning point in the writing process
of this book that that just made you feel like
a little lighter.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Because I wasn't able to really tell the story.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
I wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
So it was like this was so it was like
I'm finally getting everything out now, Like it was like
I'm being honest, like being constipated like for for so
many years. There you go right there, there, you go
right there that part, and so that's what I'm telling you,

(42:57):
That's exactly how I felt, And it felt so good
and it feels good to be able to now be
able to speak my truth and be able to tell
the story. Even I had friends that I had been
friends with for so many years that didn't even know
my story. And so you sit out with your girlfriends,
you hang out with them, you travel with them, and

(43:18):
they don't even know who you really are, and you
living in this bubble this world because you can't. You
can't really tell because if I would have told and
somebody told the police department, they would have fined me
because they wouldn't have want that stigma.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
When you became an officer that you have more empathy
for law enforcement, Like did you realize why they were
the way they were?

Speaker 8 (43:45):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Absolutely, Okay, let me tell you something that people don't know.
The cops they get abused by the higher ups there.
They could I'm telling you, they could abuse. So if
you that's just like if you abuse your child, right,
a lot of times your child becomes an abuser. So

(44:08):
that's all it is.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
They don't get treated well there.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
So now if I'm not getting treated well, I'm gonna
go out here and protect and serf, I'm gonna go
out there and protect and be kind to people. When
I'm not even being kind at home the police. That's
your home, right, you there to protecting serf you did,
and to go out there and do your job. But
if you if you're being beat down and you're being

(44:34):
told you a loser, and you're being told that you
ain't right enough Summerson or you ain't lock enough people up,
and then you get in trouble and if you tell,
and if you snitch, the consequences. So how can you
go out there and really be effective?

Speaker 17 (44:52):
What about the stuff that you were seeing aside, Like
you talked about like the Chocolate team and the Vanilla team, Yeah,
in the different neighborhoods they will go to. That's right,
and it's well, I guess you should explain it for people,
the difference between the teams. And then I wanted to
ask you about you going to your boss and saying, hey,
they're doing the legal searches.

Speaker 8 (45:09):
You need to figure that out. And the boss was like,
I'm cool.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Ye're the Chocolate team, but the black team and the
Vanilla team was the Caucasian team and.

Speaker 17 (45:17):
They went to So like, y'all are in different neighborhoods
or whatever you decide to you see something that you
know is not right, you decide to go to your
higher up your higher up sets. I'm not disturbing my
pension to correct a bad cop.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Right because a lot of times, if you would tell
its consequences, it's real. It is really real, and this
is your life. You're talking about cops kill theyself all
the time, where you think they killing theyself for they
ain't killing theyself because because they ain't getting enough money

(45:49):
or enough love. They're killing theirself because it's real in
there a lot of guilt and they can't be who
they want to be. They can't be their authentic self
bit so they got to be somebody else and sometimes
people can't handle that.

Speaker 8 (46:02):
Everybody mental health level is different.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Yeah, I've been having that conversation a lot lately, Like
I feel like police officers should have, uh should have
to deal with mental health professionals, like literally every every year,
every week, Like they should be sitting down with mental
health professionals.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Absolutely, Yeah, they have some hotline called Popper, but I
don't even think that those are those are people that
are actually equipped to be able to deal with the
trauma that police officers face every day.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
That should be you.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
You make sure that it's mandatory training for all these
other different things that don't really matter. But why you
don't have mandatory mental health training for your police officers
so they can be suited and booted and in a
in a good mental state to be out there to
go out there to fight and be able to really
protect and serve, right, right, So, if you want to

(46:57):
have a great police department, you gotta have a great
police apartment, and they got to be able to have integrity.
You got to be able to have police said, police
officers be able to just really show up for someone.
That's why I didn't want to be a domestic violence officer.
I was like, I'm not going there and go to

(47:18):
a call and it's a domestic violence officer, and what
I'm gonna really do for her or what I'm gonna
really do for him? Come on, it ain't it ain't
it ain't. The system ain't get to help us like that,
especially people that look like us.

Speaker 17 (47:33):
Do you even now and share your story in the book,
you talked about switching units because of like just fear
of the things that were happening or whatever, And.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
What part are you talking about?

Speaker 17 (47:41):
You talked about you said, y'all arrested. I think it
was like one hundred and forty five hundred and forty
seven people. It was like buses of people. And you
were saying that like being in arcotics was getting a
little like you were fearing for your safety. Oh yeah,
Do you feel for your safety now because you're talking
about all this stuff?

Speaker 3 (47:54):
No, absolutely not. I trust God, you know, I believe
that he has me on an assignment and whatever is
gonna be, it's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
I'm telling the truth.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
I'm telling the truth, and I am here on whatever
platform to be able to speak the truth. And so
we got to stop lying to people, you know, we
got to stop lying like we're.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Not we're not being real with people.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Let's stop lying. Let's start telling the truth, and let's
start really showing up. And if we're not showing up,
the shut up.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
Was still kicking it with Katrina Brownlea her new book,
and then came The Blues, My Story of Survival on
both sides of the Badge Charlamagne.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
You spoke about how you know you forgave your ex
fiance because you didn't want to have that bitterness in you.
Did you also have some maybe some empathy for him
because you know how he became that way.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Maybe I have empathy for him because he a broken
man in pieces he ain't made he is he was
never made of anything, no substance to him as a man.
Any man that can put his hands on a woman
and you shoot her and you beat her and you
murder your child, what does what is he made of?

(49:18):
Absolutely nothing? You have to have empathy for him.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Do you think abuses need rehabilitation of jail time?

Speaker 3 (49:27):
I think both.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
I think both.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
While you in there, you should be able to get
your help, your healing, whatever it is that you need.
Because if you put him in prison and you don't
do nothing with them, or they come out and be
a worse savage than they already was.

Speaker 8 (49:47):
I was like, ask, how do you deal with your
day to day now? Because like where is he?

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Like what is he?

Speaker 2 (49:51):
I have no idea, I have no idea. You still
live in fear of him?

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Absolutely not, absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (49:59):
I fear no one for God.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
You know the title of your book alludes to the blues, right,
and you think of blues, you think of like the music,
the music? What does blues mean to you? And how
did they reflect you know? Your journey from trauma to hill.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
And then came the blues is my life, and then
the NYPD life. Those are the blues, and then the
blues of my life. My life was blues on top
of blues.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
What color is it now? Hah white?

Speaker 4 (50:32):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
You feel like you definitely came out on the other side.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Let me tell you something. I've never been in a
better place. I have finally found peace. And when you
get peace, you will never allow anybody else to disrupt
that piece. I'm walking peace, I live peace.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Do you remember the exact moment like you felt it?

Speaker 19 (50:58):
Like?

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Man, I feel free, I feel peace.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
When I left City Hall that day and I retired, Wow,
I'm telling you, it was like a light just came
over on me.

Speaker 7 (51:12):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
And the ada that was on my cage at the time.
She was there at my walkout and we were leaving,
and she said, I've been waiting to send this post.
Do I have your approval to now tell the world
what happened to you? And I said absolutely. And when

(51:37):
she'd pressed thing.

Speaker 17 (51:39):
It was it, was there ever a moment of like
when you had to testify in court rate her decided
to Was there ever a moment for you where you
thought you felt that piece that you're talking about. But
then later on, I guess you realize that you're finally here,
like cause I would think maybe that would bring you
some sort of closure or piece as well too.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
Or no, you mean testify with my.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
I never got a chance to testify.

Speaker 8 (52:05):
Oh so when you showed up the court, they didn't
put you on the stand when I showed up in
the court.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
When I showed up in the courtroom, he turned around
and saw me because he thought that he had that
intimidated me enough that I would not come from jail
right to come to court. And when I walked in
and he saw me, he whispered to his attorney, and
the next thing I know, they took me back out

(52:29):
of the courtroom. And the next thing I knew.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
That like guilty.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Because you came to the first you told the DA
he was going to disappear, right, Yeah, I told her
I was disappeared.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
And then in the trial because she told me that
she was gonna hump me down or something like a dog.

Speaker 8 (52:47):
I can't remember what she told me.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
She empty she had told me she was like that
is you're going to show and I'm like, for what,
nothing's going to happen to him? And everything that I
said was going to happen, it happened.

Speaker 7 (53:02):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
And that's when people read the book, you will see
every single thing. How does a man shoot someone ten
times kill their child and all you give them is
five to fifteen?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Tell me how that works.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Because you're a black woman. Number one, Number two because
he was part of the law enforcement.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Yeah, that's right, man, that part.

Speaker 17 (53:32):
Have any of the officers that showed up those times
when you did reach out to the police come back
and been like we should have done more and say
that sorry anything.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
When when when the story first drop, anonymous caller called me.
A lot of anonymous police officers were calling me and saying,
you're a hero. I wish that I had the strength
to do what you're doing. Thank you for being a voice.
But I had one called me and he said, I'm
not sure if I'm the officer that responded to you,

(54:07):
because I worked at the eight one at that time.
He said, but I want to say to you that
I apologize if I am. He said, I'm not going
to tell you my name. I believe he told me
he was either captain or and inspector at the time
that he retired. And he retired and he had moved
to Florida, and he said, I just want to tell
you that I apologize to you.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
And hung up the phone.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
Did that do anything for you?

Speaker 12 (54:31):
I just broke down tears because I said, maybe had
you did something, maybe this wouldn't have happened to my life.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
But he never gave me a chance to say anything.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
You know, he said, everybody got to have a testimony, right,
because if you didn't have that testimony, you.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Wouldn't be where you are now. But damn, you have
to go through all of that.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
You have to the organization Our Young Ladies of Our Future,
which is a nonprofit organization that serves at risk young women,
and you have Can't be Silenced, an organization working on
solutions to the urgent domestic violence crisis.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
What made you want to start both those organizations?

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Well, Young Ladies of Our Future. I wanted to start
that because I never wanted any young girl, young lady
to ever have to endure what I haven't done. So
if I could just be able to pour into them
and be able to change their lives and make a difference,

(55:33):
in their life. I just wanted to be able to
do that. So that was the purpose of that. And
I teach workshops just about self esteem, self awareness, a
whole leap of things, and there can't be silence. Peace
was because I had to be silenced for so long
and now I have a voice, and I am the

(55:55):
voice for the voiceless and the hope for the hopeless.

Speaker 8 (55:59):
That is why ending your story in the book, I
turned to the last page.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
In your book.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Oh yeah, I want that to be a surprise, okay,
because I thought only.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Lauren would give away the ending of the.

Speaker 8 (56:13):
Book because because it's so sweet.

Speaker 17 (56:18):
Well, okay, you're right, I think for most people, because
they hear all of this and then they're wondering, like, well,
what is your personal life?

Speaker 3 (56:23):
I want people to know that dreams do come true
and that don't ever give up on your dream. Don't
ever give up on yourself, because look what happened for me,
and if God can do it for me, he can
do it for you.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
If people want to sign up for your seminars or
you know, be a part of the young Ladies of
our future, I can't be silenced.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
Where they reach Miss Dot Katrina four five six and
Katrina Brownlee on on Facebook all my social media proforms.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Well, I'm glad that you survived, and I'm glad that
you're here to tell you because this is going to
help somebody. So and then came the Blues. My story
of survival on both sides of the Badge of Memoir
from Katrina brown Lee is available everywhere. Now, my last question,
one word.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
That describes your journey.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
God, I made it.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
I made it.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
It's Katrina Brownlee. It's the Breakfast Club. Thank you for coming,
thank you, thank you for having me. Hi Morning Everybody.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamage the guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Speaker 18 (57:32):
Lauren becoming a straight fash.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

Speaker 8 (57:38):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
She'd be having the latest on you.

Speaker 7 (57:43):
The latest with Lauren la Rosa.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Sometimes you have.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little
bit of everything.

Speaker 7 (57:50):
On the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 17 (57:53):
Social Kari Richardson has come out and she spoke on
the domestic violence a right that we saw go down
last week and took some accountability for different things.

Speaker 8 (58:04):
Let's take a listen to Chakari here, y'all.

Speaker 21 (58:06):
It' sh to carry care and more than anything, definitely
a lot of self reflection, a lot of understanding of
not only putting myself in a compromise situation, but somebody
that I have a deep care and appreciation for as
will is something that holding myself accountable. I'm taking this
time to not only see myself, to get myself a

(58:28):
certain level of help that overall is gonna reflect who
I truly am in my heart and my spirit. I'm
gonna be more, not even just for myself, for my family,
for my fans, and overly appreciating y'all supporting me and
showing up and even holding me accountable to being my
best self. I refuse to run away but face everything

(58:52):
that comes to me head on, because everything on the
other side is greater.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
But you gotta go through.

Speaker 7 (58:56):
You know what you get there.

Speaker 8 (58:57):
So I appreciate y'all.

Speaker 21 (58:58):
Andy'll be blessed.

Speaker 8 (59:00):
My bad girl should carry her. She hates when people
get her name wrong.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
She corrected you, Yes, I love that.

Speaker 17 (59:05):
But yes, so she spoke out. I thought that this
was very admirable of her. Because when the story broke,
of course she's at the top. Everybody knows her. She's
a huge weld, famous athlete people. You know, when something
sort like this breaks, it spreads so fast, and a
lot of times, you know, teams and the organizations they
don't comment and they tell the athletes to say nothing
and just let it go away. So when she posted

(59:27):
this video last night, I was like, oh, wow, she's
so human. I feel like we've been grown with her
throughout her career, and this is one of those moments
where we're grown with her through something that we saw
happen in real time.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
I respect the fact that she acknowledged her behavior, but
I just want the record the show. It is a
double standing because if a man did something like that
at the airport and then turned around and just did
a little video like that, y'all would.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Be dragging him to hell.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Crazy right now, you would be on this radio sounding
so understanding about the situation gone.

Speaker 17 (59:52):
We don't know what she might have lost behind the scenes.
You have no idea there was a video that came out.
You saw it on video.

Speaker 8 (59:57):
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
If Lauren don't know, then somebody lying.

Speaker 5 (01:00:01):
Okay, you gotta point that sponsorship would have jumped out
of the window, and since we had no longer work
that there is a double standard.

Speaker 17 (01:00:09):
There is a double stander because I will say when
I saw the headline last weekend, for those of you
guys who don't know what happened, just really quickly and video. Yes,
so Shakari Sha Carrie and her boyfriend, Christian Coleman, who's
a sprinter, they were in an airport and the authorities
in the airport were called because there was a They
said that, oh, there's a disservice between these two people.
And the video that was released after the story came out,

(01:00:31):
you see she Carrie, He's trying to like get around
her and I almost like walk away from her, but
she's like she shoves them into a wall and like
she throws something. They said that it was headphones that
she threw. So of course the police support was taken
and you know, she was she was arrested and all
the things. But yeah, I thought we were going to
hear you know, sponsorship conversations and all all that stuff
as well, and then the next thing I saw was

(01:00:52):
this video.

Speaker 8 (01:00:53):
I do acknowledge the double standards stand because.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
I'm telling you so guy would have did that it
had been World War three on social media and then
the day to put out an apology like that, y'a
wouldn't even be accepting.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
And then to be honest with you, lessen, let tell
you something what they used to be? Me h, not
the airport, but fighting them niggas.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
What's that you've grown?

Speaker 8 (01:01:14):
What just the story we're doing a moral I want
you to say you've grown, And I've definitely grown. I'm reformed,
but I used to be boxing them up.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
To Chris blink twice if you need help me piece,
I've been there.

Speaker 8 (01:01:30):
I've been there, I feel you know.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
What I've been there.

Speaker 5 (01:01:32):
Yeah, she's very feminine with Chris, like, oh my gosh, Okay,
Chris concrad to popular belief, Jess is a feminine person.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Okay, so it's not I'm just saying yeah, makes just
with Chris. She's a woman.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
At the end of the day, she has feelings and emotions.
Don't let the toughly sterea fool you.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
Absolutely, that's called and live here.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Well.

Speaker 8 (01:01:56):
I do admire her for that the apology.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
He didn't even want her to get in trouble. You
know your boyfriend stepped up, like, look, no, yo, it's
not that you know. Yes, she is just okay, I'm okay,
I'm not heard.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
She's all right, you know.

Speaker 17 (01:02:09):
Yeah he said that. You know, there were two they're
learning through this. Give basically give her some grace. Young couple, Yes,
young couple. Now in other news, I am really excited
about this one. I think you guys will be too. Okay,
So last night I was up until one am. Y'all
guess why.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):

hit his president. Lights Police arrested in Orlando man for
talking to.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Famina to practice club bitch. You don't he other day
with shalam Hayne to gud I don't know what y'all get.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Y'all don ky Today for Tuesday, August twelfth, goes to
a thirty two year old man named Anthony Smith, Now,
Anthony Smith is a party wedding DJ from Florida. Have
you heard of him with envy?

Speaker 6 (01:06:25):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Okay, Well, what does your uncle Shaula always say about
the great state of Florida. The craziest people in America
come from the Bronxon all of Florida, and today is
no exception. Now let me give you some background story
on Anthony. Anthony ladies and gettlemen, according to him, suffers
from some sort of sexual addiction, and engaging in lewd
behavior arouses him. He was convicted in twenty seventeen of

(01:06:48):
indecent exposure and resisting arrest after he was spotted neked
in pleasuring himself in public.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Anthony says he does.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
This because pornographic materials do not suffice his sexual desires.
And this is important for all your religious folks. Okay, Christians,
I need to listen, need you to listen up. He
says he does not want to violate his morals by
having sexual relations before marriage, are by using a female
solely for sexual purposes. I think it's pretty a moral
to be Buttonnecker in public shaking hands with the milkman.

(01:07:17):
But we listen, Okay, we don't judge. Anthony Smith was
sent us to six months in jail okay in twenty seventeen,
and he's been arrested twice in the past for debugging
his hard driving public. Well, Anthony just got arrested again
for indecent exposure okay. The actual charge was exposure of
sexual organs and resisting arrest in Florida, both of misdemeanors.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
Would you like to know what Anthony Smith did now?
I can't wait to tell you.

Speaker 7 (01:07:42):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
On last Thursday, Florida police found Anthony Smith walking around
of Florida Park wearing women's lingerie, the bottoms of which
were of the throng variety, and Anthony's genitals, his maniconta,
his trouser snake.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
His d Wayne Rod johnsonsed. He also was wearing fake breast.
He also had on a wig of long black hair.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
He had a black mask around his face, and he
had a penis ring that is used for arousal purposes
as well as to maintain erections.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
He had on a black foxtail. He thought he was
the fantastic mister fox Well.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
The black foxtail, according to the police report, was protruding
from his posterior.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Meaning it was hanging out of his ass.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Okay, but a pun further examination, and I would love
to have a discussion with whoever did that examination. But
a pun further examination, the bushy tail turned out to
be attached to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
A rectal plug that was inserted in his anus.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
He had a.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Now we all know foxes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
We all know foxes are very challenging to catch. So
Anthony did try to get away, but he got caught.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
They discovered him an inside Indian Riverside park and he
was eventually caught near a children's museum. Now, thankfully no
children were present to witness this freaky fox, but that
doesn't make what he did any less egregious. Okay, Now,
clearly this man is dealing with some type of mental issues.
But the reason my empathy doesn't get activated for this
guy is because of how he described his situation to

(01:09:11):
the police. I told you earlier. He told police he
suffers from some sort of sexual addiction. He acknowledges all
of his previous run ins with the law because of
the sexual addiction. He knows that regular porn doesn't satisfy
his sexual desires, and he said he doesn't want to
violate his morals by having sex before marriage or by

(01:09:31):
using a female solely for sexual purposes. Well, Anthony, if
you are aware of all that, then you are also
aware of your behavior. Okay, your moral compass is clearly
broke if you think sex before marriage and not wanting
to use a woman just for sex are morally incorrect,
but putting a foxtail between your cheeks and buffing your

(01:09:52):
vampious slayer in public is morally correct. Okay. If you
are aware of what your problems are and you do
nothing to even attempt to correct them, I don't have
empathy for you. Okay. If you can afford anal plugs
and penis rings and foxtails and thongs, then you can
afford some type of therapy for your sex addiction. Not

(01:10:13):
to mention, it's so many kinky ass sex clubs you
can join where you can dress like that and just
parade all around the club like that. I would have
googled some for you myself this morning, but I don't
want that in my search history.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
All I'm saying is a man who has listened to
me being a man who has listened to years of
horrible decisions with Mandy and Weezy Now Decisions Decisions, as
well as reading in New York Times bestselling book No
Holds Bard. I know that there is a lot of
ways to express your freaky safely and legally in America.
You wasn't looking for a safe space to let your

(01:10:49):
freak flag fly because you enjoy letting your freak flag
fly in public.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
You know exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Because if you simply wanted to be outside wearing a
foxtail like Scissa at the opening of the.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Grand National Tour, I guarantee you there's a resort for that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
Once again, I'm not googling it because I don't want
to in my search history, Anthony, you've been arrested more
than three times, and I bet you tell that story
about having a sex addiction all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Well, let me tell you something, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
If you have to talk to more than three people
about the same same problem and you don't want help,
you want attention, and what you need to get is help.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
Please give Anthony Smith the biggest he hull no he
want to say.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
If I'm bricked up, I bet you still right now
your here.

Speaker 8 (01:11:45):
When he was going through the details. You did say
this is good?

Speaker 4 (01:11:48):
You did?

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
I bet you because it's interesting for your phone, because
just turn your phone around like this, Just do it,
show your phone Anthony Smith, Google, but I did.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
I did think the reason I said it was good.

Speaker 5 (01:12:02):
Could you imagine the cops having to chase him, yes, hilarious,
take him down and then arrest him. I love to
a butt plug, did Jenny your Could you imagine that
you gotta put him in the back of your squad car.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
I love to see it. I don't want to pay
for it on somebody. I would pay for it to
watch on somebody. That would be hilarious. Right now, put
it on the tronic, have a whole show. Niggas get
to chased him, but yes, make you call it crazy
like a fox. You got to get freaky like a

(01:12:38):
The agency would love that. Freaking like a fox. I
don't play a game.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
Nope, Yeah, I want to know what he is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
Well, let's play a game of Yes, what race it music?
You gotta find it, that's god. Don't want to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:13:01):
What's his name again?

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Anthony Smith?

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
Anthony Smith, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Anthony Smith.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
He was walking around a Florida park, fully exposed he
was wearing fake breast. He had a wig of long
black hair, a black mask around his face, a penis
ring that is used for a rosal purposes to maintain erections.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
He had a black foxtail, and he hanging out his ass.

Speaker 9 (01:13:24):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (01:13:24):
What is?

Speaker 7 (01:13:26):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (01:13:28):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:13:29):
White?

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Why do you think that?

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
I mean, because I don't want to put that on
our people. I really don't, although I can imagine it,
but no, I don't want to.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
Put that on our people.

Speaker 7 (01:13:42):
Envy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
What about you?

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Anthony Smith was walking around a Florida park genital fully exposed. Okay,
black foxtail, hanging out his anus all right, long black hair,
a black mask around his face, and fake breast. What
a penis ring?

Speaker 7 (01:13:54):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (01:13:54):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I don't know? Anthony? Anthony could be white or black,
I know, but Anthony Smith black?

Speaker 4 (01:14:08):
Bust down? Yeah, he had a bust down.

Speaker 7 (01:14:12):
What was he?

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
Well, I want to tell both of you racist sleeves bags.
One of y'all is correct and one of y'all is right.
So that's just hilarious, is absolutely positively wrong, and DJ
is absolutely positive. Anthony Smith is called I mean he's black,
Actually he's not black, though he's not black with a freaking.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
I didn't want it to be.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
He's not black.

Speaker 5 (01:14:41):
He he's black, but he's black. But I see bust down,
come on, hit my n word, drop.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Down, show the best showing the world. I'm sure it
says powerful niggat a working man hard to find it.
It's some power niggers going on her. Yes, here we go,
just waiting on in words. They always late.

Speaker 5 (01:15:09):
All right, all right, individuals, all right, I'm over all
right now when we come back, we have the Mayor
of d C joining us, Muriel bow Uh crazy, Oh
my goodness. Well, yes, we're talking to the mayor of

(01:15:30):
d C. You know what Trump is doing in DC,
trying to take all the power away from her and
trying to put the Feds out there to quote unquote
clean up DC. And we're gonna talk to her next.
I so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 7 (01:15:40):
Come morning. We still have the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
Morning. Everybody's the EJ N V.

Speaker 5 (01:15:47):
Jess Hilaris charlamage to gud We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building. We have
the Mayor of d C, Muriel Bowser.

Speaker 13 (01:15:55):
Welcome, Thank you, thanks for having me on a breakfast club.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Thank you for calling in.

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
I'm want to set the stage real quick so people
know why you calling in, Medbasa. You know, on Monday,
President Trump announced he'd be invoking Section seventy forty of
the DC Home Rule Act of nineteen seventy three, which
is basically giving him temporary control over the nation's capital.
And he's also activated the National Guard because he said
the crime rate is just through the roof right in DC.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Why do you think this is happening, Medbalsam, Well, I mean.

Speaker 13 (01:16:26):
Trump had The President has had a long fascination with
d C. He left d C during the height of COVID,
and I think he had a picture of homelessness that
has struck with him. You heard him on the campaign
trail talking about d C, and in a lot of ways,
d C is a proxy for American cities, and his

(01:16:50):
administration has taken a very aggressive stance against American cities.
He thinks that people in cities don't support him. He's
very aware of the number of people that voted for
him in DC, and so he has taken an aggressive stance.
I heard some of what you've said. The numbers just

(01:17:13):
don't justify the action. We have seen a precipitous lessening
of crime in the city, violent crime, especially after a
post COVID spike that we acknowledge and we got after
and we drove down the numbers in twenty twenty three.
We reported last year the lowest level of violent crime

(01:17:36):
in thirty years. So we're not taking our foot off
the grad gas. We're continuing to work. But we think
that this action kind of plays into his narrative about cities,
about using force, about being tough on crime. And I
can say a little bit more about why DC is different,
but it's times like this when America needs to know

(01:17:59):
why your names capital, a place where seven hundred thousand
tax paying Americans live, should be the fifty first state.

Speaker 5 (01:18:05):
Now, Mayor, you know, a lot of we're talking to
Mayor Murriel Bowser from the mayor of d C. Now,
a lot of people say, well, you know, well, maybe
it's needed. You know, when they look at different cities,
it does look beat up. Sometimes it does look dirty.
And I see Trump made an analogy of something about
he was like when I go to a restaurant with
my dad and when my dad says it sees that
the door of the restaurant is dirty, we know not
to go there. And that's how people look at d C.

(01:18:28):
So what do you say to those people that said, well,
maybe it is needed, maybe we do need to clean
it up a little bit. What do you say, that's
not that's not crime them.

Speaker 13 (01:18:35):
And it's also not how people look at d C.
When people come to d C elected officials, leaders of
nations that he likes to point to, they meet with
me as well, and they tell me how beautiful the
city is, how green the city is, how they were
surprised at how many parks and wide avenues that the city.

(01:18:55):
Keep in mind, this is the nation's capital, built on
Lnefont's plan, that is and magnificent and beautiful city. So
this idea that DC is dirty is obviously there are
places where people liter and we clean up. We have
some of the best city services of any city in America.

(01:19:16):
Our Department of Public Works is on top of cleanliness,
and our partnership with the federal government is always welcome
on issues.

Speaker 4 (01:19:27):
That we share.

Speaker 13 (01:19:28):
Keep in mind that the Fads own more property in
d C than they own in most places, including the
National Parks, the Pocket Parks, the Circle parks where we
have seen some of the homeless problem, and where they're
responsible for cleaning up, dumping the trash, and cutting the
grass some things that they haven't been on top of

(01:19:51):
in recent months. So the fads have a really outsized
role in DC when it comes to keeping federal parks clean.

Speaker 10 (01:20:01):
Now, we want to work with them on that, and
we have the teams to do that. But it's just
not it's not right to say that d C is dirty.

Speaker 7 (01:20:12):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
And you also don't deploy the FBI and the National
Guard just because something is not clean.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
I don't understand that logic. That's what's crazy. But I
do want to ask you something.

Speaker 7 (01:20:20):
Man about it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:21):
Do you believe President Trump had the legal authority to
deploy the FBI in National Guard into d C without
the sea's consent?

Speaker 13 (01:20:27):
Well, this is this is the primer on DC that
I like to give in times like this when we're
in the national news.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
We are unique.

Speaker 8 (01:20:36):
We are not a state.

Speaker 10 (01:20:38):
And so when you hear DC residents talk about we
got to become a.

Speaker 13 (01:20:41):
State, we got to become a state, it's not you know,
it's not just an easy topic because what it says
is that we don't have full autonomy.

Speaker 8 (01:20:51):
We have a limited home.

Speaker 13 (01:20:53):
Rule and our Home rule charter gives the president the
ability to declare an emergency of public safety emergency for
almost any reason, and that doesn't really give him the
right to take over the police department. And if you
read his executive order closely, what it says is what

(01:21:14):
the charter allows him to do is direct me, the mayor,
to make MPD services available.

Speaker 10 (01:21:22):
And that's what it says.

Speaker 13 (01:21:24):
Our organization chart, our chief of police, our reporting structure
for our police officers has not changed up.

Speaker 5 (01:21:32):
We're still kicking in with Muriel Bowser, the mayor of
DC Charlemagne. I was going to ask, so what is
required for this takeover the end to make sure that
you remain in controlling that he does.

Speaker 13 (01:21:43):
The good question, because we're in an unprecedented territory. The
law says he has thirty days unless the Congress passes
a joint resolution to extend it. Because there is no
real predicate in our view for a crime surge that
that cost the emergency having the reasons to end the

(01:22:05):
emergency are also unclear. So that's the conversation that I
will have with the person that he has designated as
his proxy to request these services, and that's the Attorney
General BONDI.

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
Now you mentioned this in twenty twenty, so you've seen
this coming.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
He's been talking about it for a while.

Speaker 13 (01:22:26):
He tried in twenty twenty to when you will remember
when there were protests around the killing of George Floyd,
and that's when he first intimated that he wanted to
take over the police. We pushed back real hard and
just explain to him that that at that time, especially

(01:22:48):
at that time where the city was a tinderbox, would
be a bad move.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
Do you think this is a trial run for a
police state from President Trump?

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
Listen?

Speaker 13 (01:22:57):
I think that what we have to see nobody should
be a lot of the coverage I've heard. Just like
one of the callers I heard is making the argument
that DC's crime issues are out of control.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
That's not true.

Speaker 13 (01:23:12):
Our police department, best in the business, partners with the
federal government, supports the President, supports diplomatic visits to the
city are driving down crime in partnership with the community,
and tougher policies quite frankly that I have supported over
the last several years to help us hold people who

(01:23:32):
use guns in our city accountable and we have to
have that on this conversation too.

Speaker 8 (01:23:37):
We can't have a system where a.

Speaker 13 (01:23:39):
Juvenile or an adult can use guns, hurt people and
not face any accountability. So the city has really stepped
aggressively in that direction and it was warranted. But you
cannot suggest that the MPD is not getting the job done.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
We have a young lady, Morgan Woods. She's from DC,
She's from the Black Information Network. She wants to ask
you a question to Mayor Bodum.

Speaker 9 (01:24:08):
Yes, thank you, Mayor Bouser, appreciate you taking a get
as a DMB resident, someone who frequents DC a lot.

Speaker 10 (01:24:14):
How do you how do what do you think the
presence of this federal law enforcements?

Speaker 9 (01:24:18):
How do you think it stands to impact residents, those
of us that are coming from Maryland and Virginia to
hang out, support local businesses, even businesses that may be
struggling from the pandemic.

Speaker 4 (01:24:28):
How do you, uh?

Speaker 9 (01:24:29):
What do you what is your take on how this
presence of federal law enforcement stands to impact not only
the residents, but also you know you economically in the district.

Speaker 13 (01:24:39):
Well, Morgan, what I'm really concerned about is the rhetoric
coming from the president. Already, the federal government's decisions are
having a completely negative impact on our economy. By firing
federal workers, closing federal buildings, continuing this telework policy that

(01:25:02):
they said they wouldn't continue, is having a negative impact
on our economy. The Congress limited our own local spending
by almost a billion dollars this year. That cost us
to cut services in the district, already having an impact
on our economy, and spreading lies about how safe the

(01:25:23):
city is will impact our ability to replace that economic
activity with private activity, like you're mentioning just wanting to
come to restaurants or clubs. So I feel very confident
that our city is safe and you should go about
your daily activities, and that we are going to work very,

(01:25:45):
very hard to make sure that the federal presence doesn't
impact anybody's ability to come to the city, whether they're
our residents, people from the regent, or people who are
come to visit us. Now, having said that yesterday, last week,
and the week before that everybody who comes here should

(01:26:07):
follow the law, and that remains true. Everybody who comes
here should follow the law, and that includes the police.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
Oh, I have one more question about it, because I
know you got to go like the caller call up
here this morning, they say he does think it's a
good thing that President Trump wants to reduce the crime
rate in DC.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
But in your opinion, as mayor, why is this the wrong.

Speaker 7 (01:26:26):
Way to do it?

Speaker 13 (01:26:27):
The wrong is the wrong way to do it because
federal law enforcement does a different job. We work with
the FBI, A, t F and DEEA all the time,
but we work with them on high level criminal organizations
bringing drugs and guns to the city. FBI agents don't

(01:26:48):
go out on patrol. That's not what they're trained to do,
and that's not what they're they are good at. It's
also not a good idea for our own tropolitan Police department,
who's worked so hard to gain the trust of communities,
for communities to now be scared of the police because

(01:27:10):
when they are, they don't call when they need help.
When they are, they don't cooperate when there's been a
crime committee and we need the public support and so
that that in itself makes.

Speaker 10 (01:27:23):
Cities less safe.

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
So that's not the way to do it.

Speaker 13 (01:27:26):
And more than that, it's not right to trample on
democratic processes. And while our kind of autonomy is limited
in our grip on democracy is tenuous in a city
that doesn't.

Speaker 10 (01:27:41):
That is not a state and does not have two senators.

Speaker 13 (01:27:45):
We do have local elected government, and we our own
residents know how to make their voices heard.

Speaker 5 (01:27:52):
May we appreciate you for checking in and any time
you need to thank you. Thank you the mayor of DC,
Muriel Bowser, and thank you a getting Please let us
know what's going on to keep us updated. All right
now when we come back, we have the latest with Lauren.

Speaker 4 (01:28:45):

I didn't fad Joe before went crazy for Yeah he

with Lauren.

Speaker 18 (01:29:00):
Lauren becoming a straight fast.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
She gets them somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 8 (01:29:07):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
And she'd be having the latest songs.

Speaker 7 (01:29:12):
The latest with Lauren la Rosa.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
Sometimes you have sometimes you have details, sometimes you have
a little bit of everything.

Speaker 7 (01:29:18):
It's the latest on the Breakfast club.

Speaker 8 (01:29:21):
To me, all right, y'all.

Speaker 17 (01:29:23):
So Cardi b y'all know she has her album coming
and I the Drama on September nineteen, period. So she
just posted last night a photo cover art of a
song that she's going to be dropping this Friday called
Imaginary Players.

Speaker 8 (01:29:36):
Now there's no audio, but the fans were quick to
be like, this has to.

Speaker 17 (01:29:41):
Be a sample of jay Z's Imaginary Players, and Carti
went live to talk about what the song would be
given with the VIZID be Let's take a listen to Cardi.

Speaker 7 (01:29:49):
This single is really hot.

Speaker 22 (01:29:50):
I talk all day every day, but in a song
like it's like reflex real complex type, you know what
I'm saying, Like, if only y'all knew the story what
I had to go through with this single and to
do something else.

Speaker 10 (01:30:03):
But when the song come out, I'm going to tell
you more about the story.

Speaker 8 (01:30:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:30:07):
So the people are the fans are really excited for
this to be that sample. And I haven't confirmed that
it is a sample. I've tried, but no one wants
to give me anything.

Speaker 4 (01:30:16):
On the roll out.

Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
But it does sound like it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
And that's and for people that know body and her
click her girl click, they all are.

Speaker 5 (01:30:22):
Like that, like driving ferraris and fandom on some rich
some rich is issue on chicks like that is bodying
her her team and they do it twenty four to
seven days week.

Speaker 7 (01:30:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:30:32):
But I mean just because the song is called Imaginary Players,
don't mean she gonna sample jay Z. And this means
that she's probably playing off the title because an imaginary
player is a person who pretends like they got it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):
You a player in your own mind, she might that's
probably the concept of the song.

Speaker 17 (01:30:45):
Well, the fans are really sticking to this narrative that
it may be a sample of the song. They've even
went over to jay Z's YouTube channel found the song
Imaginary Players, and for a lot of Cardi's fans, their
first time hearing it was yesterday when she announced her song.

Speaker 8 (01:30:59):
So they're in the comments of.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
Jason Kids out the pool.

Speaker 8 (01:31:08):
Somebody said in.

Speaker 17 (01:31:09):
The comments, I'm here after Cardi B announced her new
single card Imaginary Players, it's Friday that. Another person said
the Cardi B announcement took me here. Another person said,
if you've been missing out, do yourself the favorite and
lock into the Goats catalog greatest hip hop storyline up
all time. We need to get ready for Cardi B's release.
And someone else said, never heard this before, but I
know Cardi B will be sliding.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
I highly highly doubt Cardi B is gonna be rapping
over Imaginary Player.

Speaker 5 (01:31:34):
You highly doubt that some type of sample because they
said she said it took a minute to sample at
and that's also a sample.

Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
From It's not the Brother's Renee and Angela imaginary Playmate.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:31:46):
Mmm, so maybe it's some type of sample based off
of that, Maybe I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
Wait to hear it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
Well though, I am the best thing I like to
happing this for people to not that this is what
any of y'all are doing. But the best thing I
like is for when people doubt car Din, she come
out like swinging and sliding and scratching daddy like on
the on the track.

Speaker 8 (01:32:06):
I love when she like when she makes Then they say,
is the word?

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
Yeah, I just don't. I just don't think because I
don't hear when I listen to the sample.

Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
It's not that I can't hear Cardi rapping on it,
just don't hear why that would be a single that
wasn't even a single for Jay.

Speaker 5 (01:32:18):
But that's what I'm saying. Maybe they cut it up
and chapter in the way that it is a single.
Can we play a little bit of it?

Speaker 6 (01:32:25):
Check?

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
Yo, I spit that mother Brown leap covers money all
year money, I'm plopping, got to count.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
It's so laid money. I never changed money because you
got strange money, knocked up, bumped up money.

Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
On that not as a single?

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
Could you?

Speaker 17 (01:32:47):
You used to like like records like Outside being her single,
Temple More.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
Swing, that's laid back.

Speaker 5 (01:32:52):
But maybe Barty got it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
I can't know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
I think he's I think she's playing off the concept
of imaginary player, because we all know imaginary players have
imaginary haters. They just they just they're in their own
delusional world, which actually for this era, makes a lot
of sense.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
And then just played the music video for me. I
ain't never see the Imaginary Players music video.

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
He just played it for me. But where Cardy from?
From the Rox Bronx.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
Damn. So y'all know what y'all should do, right?

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
Should put to the go tonight? You know, I got
a show tonight. In the show tomorrow there Cardy said, come,
she might come kind of shoot the video and you
got coming through my show.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (01:33:29):
They got a section over there. They got the bottles
and then Imaginary Players they got no bottles. Exact, what's
the difference between the four point and the four point.

Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
Imaginary Players bottles? They just they just didn't pay for them.

Speaker 8 (01:33:43):
He's just gonna be me tonight because m be buying
all the bottles.

Speaker 2 (01:33:46):
Yep, I'm coming show, So.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
Get the tickets at Esselaris official dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
See you the Bronx, see you in the Bronx.

Speaker 17 (01:33:55):
But yeah, so we'll wait for that that is releasing
this Friday, Cardi b song. And as we wrap up
real quick, look there is right now. Remember we talked
about the t app. Yes, so absolutely there is a
app in the app store right now called the Tea
on her app. So y'all were talking about if the
guys did this and blah blah blah blah blah. Well,

(01:34:16):
the guys are attempting to I don't know how successful
would be. We saw what happened with the t app
and the data breach and all the things.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
You guys got that tea for the girls, like theyre
trying to find out the tea on the girls.

Speaker 17 (01:34:27):
Yeah, this has been floating around for some some time,
like a couple people have been talking about this being
in an app store, but it just raised. I think
it's like number three or number four and downloads wise
in the app store as far as dating and advice.
But I have you know, people I know that have
tried to download it, and the guys are trying to
get in there. I think, honestly, we should just all
leave these apps alone.

Speaker 4 (01:34:49):
No, no, it just it just.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Please send send you twos up pigs. You don't want
to see your off time.

Speaker 8 (01:35:01):
Oh no, I didn't mean it like that. WHOA, Yeah,
I didn't mean it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Post Lauren's picture on that.

Speaker 8 (01:35:07):
You're not going to get nothing doing it what they say.

Speaker 17 (01:35:10):
The reason I was saying it is because after that
data breach, there was a story that though Washington posted
of this woman that sued the t APP for the
data breach or whatever, and like, I don't know, it
just seems a little messy.

Speaker 8 (01:35:20):
No, I was down in the beginning.

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
Let the guys have it because I want to see
some things. I want to see what they finding out, because,
to be honest, a real conversation is women are ways
sneaky of the men.

Speaker 8 (01:35:32):
We're not sneaky, We're smarter.

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
Women are catching women.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
Women are catch men and dogs because you know, you
you always see like you can drive by and see dogs,
you know, having sex with each other. They be stuck
looking dumb. But you ain't never seen two cats having sex.

Speaker 8 (01:35:48):
But you see the kittens never yet, that's all you
say as the result, you.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Never see it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
And I got two videos and you stuck laurd don't
even talk about right. Also, I just got a text
card these imaginary players does sample the jay Z classic?

Speaker 8 (01:36:02):
He you confirmed the news period to confirm.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
I just gotta check.

Speaker 8 (01:36:08):
I mean if nobody knew that for sure, So you
just confirmed the news.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
Thank you. I didn't come this person might be lying
to me. I can't say it's confirmed.

Speaker 1 (01:36:17):
I'll say, well, I got a text who sent you
to text, no matter who sent it to me.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
I'm just telling you that the person who texted me
said that she does sample the jay Z classic and
they hear it, and they said, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:36:29):
I have old period.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):

don't know if that's true. So he confirmed it, all.

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
